Federal prosecutors just got access to 3,000 of Rudy Giuliani's communications as they investigate him for illegal lobbying

Do not forget a live full of treachery ...

Giuliani was reportedly paid advocate for Iran group once listed as terror org. | Times of Israel - Nov. 16, 2016 |

Giuliani, who is a favorite to take the secretary of state position in the incoming Trump administration, gave a number of speeches on behalf of the Mujahideen-e Khalq (MEK), an Iranian Marxist organization that calls for the overthrow of the Islamic Republic and purports to be the true government of Iran, prior to its removal in September 2012 from the US State Department's list of foreign terror organizations.

The MEK was added to the State Department's list of foreign terrorist organizations in 1997, primarily for its role in the murder of US citizens in Iran in the 1970s.

Mitch McConnell Addresses His Comment Comparing 'African-American Voters' to 'Americans'

"This is 2022 and being American is not synonymous with looking or thinking like you," Virginia Rep. Donald McEachin said in a statement to McConnell on Thursday, part of a larger wave of backlash from Democratic lawmakers and social media users.

"Please take 19 seconds to watch this video to understand why we have to fight for voting rights for ALL Americans," California Rep. Judy Chu wrote on Twitter, sharing a viral clip of McConnell's comment.

The legacy of Jim Crow is alive and well in 2022.

That's all I have to say right now about Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, and Senate Republicans.

"What the Senators are choosing to ignore, as they chase this mythical bipartisan beast, is that the current batch of Senate Republicans have shown no interest in compromise," @JoyAnnReid says on Sens. Manchin and Sinema's refusal to abolish the filibuster [_link]

MLK and HOPE

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, `What are you doing for others?'" This #MLKDay2022 and every day, the #FBI remains dedicated to service and committed to protecting our communities. pic.twitter.com/HDpq9iWXWP

A bit of irony don't you think?

The FBI's Surveillance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Was Relentless. But Its Findings Paint a Fuller Picture for Historians

No one can match the legacy of All American Martin Luther King ... may many find purpose in life from his ideals ... anything is possible, find community spirit. Your country is failing you - democracy has been corrupted by $$$$. Corporations are people too ... shame on a Partisan U.S.  Congress not standing for All Men Are Equal.

A lynching in Georgia: the living memorial to America’s history of racist violence | The Guardian - Nov. 2, 2016 |

Between 1882 and 1930 the American South experienced an epidemic of fatal mob violence that produced more than 3,000 victims, the vast majority of whom were African Americans. More than 450 documented lynchings occurred in Georgia alone. Lynching refers to the illegal killing of a person by a group of others. It does not refer to the method of killing. Lynching victims were murdered by being hanged, shot, burned, drowned, dismembered, or dragged to death.
