OMB: Ukraine aid delay was consistent with law, past practice
"Noting the many times congressional committees halted funding, OMB said in the letter that "if compliance with constitutionally non-binding directives from Congressional committees to 'hold' funds is not a deferral, then certainly a delay in obligating funds arising from a Presidential direction that a policy process is necessary prior to making obligations cannot be."

IN RE ACCURACY CONCERNS REGARDING FBI MATTERS SUBMITTED TO THE FISC

THEREFORE, the Court ORDERS that the government shall, no later than January 10, 2020, inform the Court in a sworn written submission of what it has done, and plans to do, to ensure that the statement of facts in each FBI application accurately and completely reflects information possessed by the FBI that is material to any issue presented by the application. In the event that the FBI at the time of that submission is not yet able to perform any of the planned steps described in the submission, it shall also include (a) a proposed timetable for implementing such measures and (b) an explanation of why, in the government' s view, the information in FBI applications submitted in the interim should be regarded as reliable.

Re: TRUMP'S EXIT (none / 1)

A great number of people are unaware of the FBI functions or that the bureau, established by Pres. T. Roosevelt, was always intended to be a secret police force of the executive branch. This same number of people evidently have never even reviewed the FBI's own historical narratives of its origin, published by the FBI online. They couldn't tell you when US odious belatedly enacted its institution and regulation; but they purport knowledge of US "norms" and laws.

"As part of the initiative, the Justice Department will intensify federal law enforcement resources in the seven cities -- Detroit [MI]; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Baltimore [!]; Cleveland; Kansas City; Memphis, Tennessee; and Milwaukee [WI] -- that have violent crime rates higher than the national average."

No Philly PA? No Broward Co. FL? That's strange.

FISA Court news: Judge Rosemary Collyer, who I am told has health issues, will step down early as presiding judge & Chief Justice Roberts has tapped Judge James Boasberg to take over that role in the new year.
