Finland’s Prime Minister, Sanna Marin, has now traveled to Kyiv to meet face-to-face with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. She wasn’t only in Kyiv, either; she visited Irpin and Bucha.
Where in the world is President Joe Biden (D)? Hiding out in DC or in Delaware.
Their hysteria seems manufactured, at least when it comes to abortion and their claimed “right” to it.
The radical leftist group Ruth Sent Us (radical left at least by national standards; on the political spectrum of the Left, they’re mainstream) has given that game away.
While crying out that Senate Majority Whip and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D, IL) has a conflict of interest between your Catholic faith and your role as Chair…with sole discretion to hold hearings into corrupt Catholic Justices, they demand that he
Announce televised hearings into the traitors and sexual assaulters on the Court [Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Brett Kavanaugh]. Watch your power grow.
Watch your power grow. There’s the sum and total of it.
This time, it’s Portugal’s Prime Minister, Antonio Costa, who last Saturday walked the streets of Irpin, Ukraine, along with Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mykola Tochytsky. Irpin is a suburb on the northwestern edge of Kyiv and was savaged by the Russians during the barbarian’s occupation.
Where’s our President Joe Biden (D)? He went to eastern Asia, still determined to stay as far away from Ukraine as he can.
…and do what you’re told. We wouldn’t have accused you if you weren’t guilty.
The SEC’s Director of the Division of Enforcement, Gurbir Grewal, doesn’t like it when lawyers defending their clients from SEC accusations get too much in his way.
The SEC also is seeing instances where lawyers repeatedly interrupt witness testimony to lodge frivolous objections….
Of course, it’s Grewal’s definition of frivolous. If he were serious, he’d be in court getting the frivolity sanctioned. And this:
In some instances, lawyers are representing companies and individuals in cases where they have a conflict of interest[.]
If that were true, he’d be objecting in court. Where are his objections?
And some lawyers are asserting legal privilege to shield documents from the eyes of SEC staff in cases where that privilege doesn’t apply[.]
Again, that’s Grewal’s position. And he asserts it as if, because he’s asserted it, it must be so.
And this:
Mr Grewal said he had recently learned about an entity with billions of dollars in assets that produced a mere 200 documents in a six-month period, after being served with a request for customer account and trading data.
Grewal is being disingenuous on two counts with this bellyache. One is that he’s been the Enforcement Director for nearly a year; how is it that he’s only just “recently” learning of this situation? Is he in charge, or isn’t he? If he is, does he read his staff’s input, or doesn’t he?
The other count is his beef that this represents an accused company’s delaying tactic. If he didn’t like it the slow production, why did he allow it to persist for so long? Why wasn’t he trying to force the pace—in court if necessary?
Grewal gave the SEC’s game away with these, as cited by the WSJ:
…[he] called on lawyers to work more cooperatively with the agency….
And
Lawyers who do cooperate in a genuine way with the SEC are better positioned to win credit for their clients in the form of a more lenient resolution of the agency’s investigation
This is one more reason the SEC cannot be trusted. I’ve mentioned another earlier.
The Wall Street Journal‘s Editorial Board is concerned about the House of Representatives’ abuse of its subpoena power. Rightly so, but they’re too narrow in their concern.
Republicans are sure to see the subpoenas [of five Republican Representatives, by the January 6 Committee] as a case of turning the investigative power of the House against the opposition party.
So are will Americans see this abuse.
Republicans will argue that any such effort [to hold Representatives refusing to answer the subpoenas in contempt and seek their prosecution] is a violation of the Constitution’s Speech and Debate Clause.
So will Americans see this abuse.
