| India says China amassed troops along border in violation of agreements Posted: 25 Jun 2020 06:04 AM PDT  China has deployed large numbers of troops and weapons along a disputed Himalayan border in violation of bilateral agreements, India's foreign ministry said on Thursday, accusing Beijing of escalating tensions and triggering a deadly clash last week. "At the heart of the matter is that since early May the Chinese side had been amassing a large contingent of troops and armaments along the LAC," ministry spokesman Anurag Srivastava said in a briefing in New Delhi, referring to the Line of Actual Control, the de facto border. "This is not in accordance with the provisions of our various bilateral agreements," he said, including a 1993 treaty that dictates that both sides will maintain limited border deployments.

| Kellyanne Conway Defends Trump’s Use of ‘Kung Flu’ by Attacking Asian-American Reporter Posted: 24 Jun 2020 11:43 AM PDT  White House counselor Kellyanne Conway flip-flopped on her previous position that the use of the racist term "Kung Flu" is "highly offensive," defending President Donald Trump's use of it on Wednesday while bizarrely attacking an Asian-American reporter for not having the "courage" to out a White House official who said the phrase months ago.During a White House driveway gaggle with reporters on Wednesday morning, Conway was immediately confronted by NBC News reporter Monica Alba over the president's recent habit of tossing out the phrase and Conway's March denouncement of the term, which the Trump adviser called "wrong" while noting she is "married to an Asian."Conway, meanwhile, turned the question back around on the press corps, seemingly placing the blame on CBS News reporter Weijia Jiang, who reported in March that a White House official referred to the novel coronavirus as the "Kung Flu" to her face."I also asked Weijia to reveal to us who said it, I think that would have gone a long way," Conway said to Alba before saying the reporter should confront Jiang.Alba, however, pressed forward and asked Conway if she would react to Trump's repeated use of the loaded term, prompting the presidential aide to claim that Trump was merely making it "very clear" that the virus originated in China. Conway then pressed Jiang to reveal her source."I still invite you up here to tell us who said that," Conway taunted the reporter. "And I think that that would be a very important revelation for us. That's not a source for you to protect. That's somebody who shouldn't have said that, and you're claiming did say that, and we still don't know who that was."While Conway accused her of "changing the subject," Jiang noted that at the time Conway said the phrase was "hurtful," asking the Trump official if she was going to tell that to the president now."I speak to the president daily on many different topics," Conway replied, causing Jiang to ask again if she'd tell Trump his use of "Kung Flu" is offensive."We don't always agree on everything, and that's why I work here," the veteran pollster shot back before pivoting to another subject. Moments later, however, Conway circled back to the topic, defending the president by saying "it's incredibly important" for Trump to "not let China escape responsibility here." Jiang wondered aloud if Conway could explain the "logic" on how Kung Flu accomplishes that as it doesn't refer to a particular place."How do you know, excuse me, how do you know the way people, how do you know that people aren't anticipating that or are not connecting that?" Conway exclaimed, her voice rising. "You don't know that! Excuse me, while the president is saying it, he's also saying this virus came from China. China is responsible!"Interestingly, Conway refused to actually use the phrase, instead saying that Trump has "said it's called many different things," such as "the Wuhan virus, the Chinese virus, and then he used another term."As Jiang continued to press her on Trump's embrace of the racist term, Conway eventually placed the blame squarely on the CBS reporter's shoulders."You should have come forward a hundred days ago when you had the chance. You lost your opportunity, you lacked the courage to tell everybody who said that to you," Conway fumed. "You like to stoke this instead of solving it. I'm here to solve things not stoke them. You did the opposite on this issue."Conway flailing on this issue comes on the heels of White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany struggling to fend off questions about the president using the racist term. Earlier this week, McEnany insisted the president was just trying to point out where the virus came from while blaming the media for "trying to play games with the terminology."Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

| Member of Mueller Team to Testify that DOJ Pressured Prosecutors to Treat Roger Stone ‘More Leniently’ Posted: 24 Jun 2020 07:43 AM PDT  A federal prosecutor will testify to Congress on Wednesday that the Justice Department exerted "heavy pressure" on prosecutors in Roger Stone's criminal trial to request a more lenient sentence for Stone.Aaron Zelinsky, an assistant U.S. attorney in Maryland who was formerly assigned to Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, will testify to the House Judiciary Committee that prosecutors in Stone's criminal trial were under "heavy pressure from the highest levels of the Department of Justice to cut Stone a break."Stone's sentencing was handled in an "unusual and unprecedented way" that Zelinsky found "deeply unsettling," he will testify, according to his prepared remarks.Stone was convicted of lying to Congress, witness tampering and obstructing the House's investigation into the Trump campaign's connections to Russia.Trump complained in February that the prosecutors' seven-to-nine-year sentencing recommendation constituted a "horrible and very unfair situation." Shortly afterwards, his Justice Department submitted a revised filing stating that the prosecutors' recommended lengthy sentence "could be considered excessive and unwarranted." Zelinsky was one of four prosecutors to recommend Stone's seven-to-nine year sentence who either resigned or quit the case after the DOJ weighed in.The White House has denied Trump pressured the DOJ to show lenience to Stone.Zelinsky's supervisors in the U.S. Attorney's Office informed him that Stone, a longtime associate of President Trump's, was being treated differently because of his relationship to the president. The federal prosecutor said he was told that the acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, Timothy Shea, was under "heavy pressure from the highest levels of the Department of Justice to cut Stone a break, and that the U.S. Attorney's sentencing instructions to us were based on political considerations.""I was also told that the acting U.S. Attorney was giving Stone such unprecedentedly favorable treatment because he was 'afraid of the President,'" Zelinsky will testify.Meanwhile, Zelinsky says he saw the DOJ exerting "significant pressure" on prosecutors to obscure the correct Sentencing Guidelines calculation for Stone as well as "water down and in some cases outright distort the events that transpired in his trial and the criminal conduct that gave rise to his conviction.""Such pressure resulted in the virtually unprecedented decision to override the original sentencing recommendation in his case and to file a new sentencing memorandum that included statements and assertions at odds with the record and contrary to Department of Justice policy," Zelinsky's remarks to Congress read.Zelinsky said he and other Assistant United States Attorneys "immediately and repeatedly raised concerns, in writing and orally" but their "objections were not heeded."Another Justice Department official, antitrust prosecutor John Elias, will also testify on Wednesday about a separate alleged instance of political bias within the DOJ. Elias will tell lawmakers that Attorney General William Barr ordered the department's Antitrust Division to probe ten marijuana company mergers because he "did not like the nature of their underlying business."Both officials are testifying under subpoena.

| Liberal Fox Pundit Explodes When Colleague Falsely Accuses Her of Comparing Washington to Saddam Posted: 25 Jun 2020 11:27 AM PDT  A Fox News panel flew off the rails on Thursday when Federalist senior editor and Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway falsely accused liberal pundit Marie Harf of comparing George Washington to late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein during a discussion on the Black Lives Matter movement.During the noon broadcast of female-centric opinion show Outnumbered, Fox contributor Harf weighed in on the recent targeting of the monuments depicting Confederate leaders and historic figures who owned slaves."I do think a process to re-evaluate the monuments is the best way to tackle this issue," she said. "I lived in Charlottesville and they for years have gone through a process to talk about their Confederate statues and we, unfortunately, saw some of the fights that became physical over there."Harf then suggested the taking down of Confederate monuments was akin to Iraqis pulling down Hussein statues after he was deposed."One of the first things the United States military did when we invaded Iraq was, along with Iraqis, tear down statues of Saddam Hussein," she said. "Because while they were only symbols, they were symbols of oppression. They were symbols of a leader who had killed so many of his own people and tortured them. So symbols do matter."The longtime Democratic operative went on to say there needs to be a "process to look at Confederate generals and leaders" before adding that protesters who tear down statues of Ulysses S. Grant "are stupid and are not a part of the broader conversation." Later in the program, during a segment on the ongoing protests, Black conservative pundit Lawrence B. Jones explained that the Black Lives Matter movement has no real hierarchy despite some people claiming to be the head of it. The show's host Melissa Francis admitted to being confused by that and dismissed the fact that BLM is a movement with no real organizational structure."If people get killed and things get burned down and it's not an organization, then nobody gets held responsible," she said, teeing up Hemingway. "That's pretty convenient."Hemingway, meanwhile, said she wanted to "applaud" a BLM activist for "being honest" when he told Fox News on Wednesday that they will "burn down the system" if they don't see the change they want. She then proceeded to refer back to Harf's statue comparison, openly twisting it to launch a bad-faith attack on her colleague."He made a comparison, as Marie Harf did earlier in the show, that sometimes you need to do violent revolution to overthrow things you don't like," she declared. "You know, comparing George Washington to Saddam Hussein and therefore it's OK to tear down both of their statues."Harf immediately objected, noting that she did not "compare George Washington to Saddam Hussein" and that it was "ridiculous" for Hemingway to accuse her of that. Francis, meanwhile, jumped in to tell Harf to let Hemingway finish her thought.The pro-Trump Federalist columnist went on to say the "claim is that it's OK to tear down statues, that include George Washington and Lincoln and abolitionists, because it's just like what we did when we did a regime change in Iraq and helped people tear down statues of Saddam Hussein." After Hemingway finished her diatribe, Harf attempted to address her right-wing colleague's smear. "I compared Confederate generals to Saddam Hussein," Harf exclaimed. "And for you to say I compared George Washington to Saddam Hussein is disgraceful, Mollie. I'm sorry, it is completely unacceptable and inappropriate!""Thank you for the clarification," Hemingway snarked in response with a smirk.Read more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

| Seattle Businesses, Residents Sue City for ‘Extensive Harm’ for Allowing ‘Autonomous Zone’ Posted: 25 Jun 2020 08:42 AM PDT  Over a dozen businesses and residents in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood have filed a lawsuit against the city for its "unprecedented decision to abandon and close off an entire city neighborhood" to allow for the creation of the "Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone/Organized Protest" (CHAZ/CHOP).The suit, which is seeking damages as well as the restoration of full public access to Capitol Hill, emphasizes that, while it does not want to "undermine CHOP participants' message or present a counter-message," the city's decision to abandon the East Precinct earlier this month allowed the rights of the plaintiffs to be "overrun.""The City's policies have effectively authorized the actions of the CHOP participants. The City has communicated clearly to CHOP participants that they may indefinitely continue occupying the streets in the area, maintaining their barricades, and blocking traffic, all without interference from the City," the lawsuit reads.Seattle police chief Carmen Best has told reporters that her officers are unable to respond to emergency calls — including rapes, robberies, and "all sorts of violent acts that have been occurring in the area" — because they are not allowed inside the area."The City's decision has subjected businesses, employees, and residents of that neighborhood to extensive property damage, public safety dangers, and an inability to use and access their properties," the lawsuit reads. It explains that, since CHAZ was created several weeks ago, the neighborhood has been left "unchecked by the police, unserved by fire and emergency health services, and inaccessible to the public at large." Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan, who has been heavily criticized by President Trump for her response to the situation, said this week that the city would move to dismantle the area after multiple deadly shootings."The cumulative impacts of the gatherings and protests and the nighttime atmosphere and violence has led to increasingly difficult circumstances for our businesses and residents," she admitted at a news conference. " . . . There should be no place in Seattle that the Seattle Fire Department and the Seattle Police Department can't go."The plaintiffs detail how anarchists in CHAZ "threatened business owners with retaliation if they paint over graffiti" and threatened to steal the phones of local residents who tried to take pictures near Cal Anderson Park. "CHOP participants have been observed carrying guns in the public streets and parks in broad daylight," the suit also states.
