Chips falling where they may, I have a feeling that within a couple of weeks, the media might have to report on the extent to which the US intelligence apparatus was weaponized (and under false pretenses) against the Trump campaign during the 2016 collection.

We may also find out that President Obama’s presidential daily briefing (with US citizens unmasked) was disseminated to a wider audience within his administration in order for the Clinton campaign and members of Congress to obtain the intelligence.

Major shipping accident near China:
https://www.yahoo.com/news/us-joins-search-32-missing-035413590.html

BEIJING (AP) — An oil tanker that caught fire after colliding with a freighter off China’s east coast is at risk of exploding and sinking, Chinese state media reported Monday, as authorities from three countries struggled to find its 32 missing crew members and contain oil spewing from the blazing wreck.
State broadcaster China Central Television, citing Chinese officials, said none of the 30 Iranians and two Bangladeshis who have been missing since the collision late Saturday had been found as of 8 a.m. Monday. Search and cleanup efforts have been hampered by fierce fires and poisonous gases that have engulfed the tanker and surrounding waters, CCTV reported.

While the oil is lighter, and much of it burned or evaporated off, there is still the possibility of environmental damage to the fishing grounds.

More at the link, of course.

Did anyone see this? Verdict for the Bundy trial is in (that Oregon standoff a while back).

Charges were dismissed.

That’s some basic “My Cousin Vinny” legal requirements. Disclosure, first year law. Whatever you have, you MUST give to the defense.
The defense doesn’t have to give Jack to the prosecutor.

Liz, the government bungled that case from the beginning. And murdered a guy in the process. They could easily had a conviction if they just followed the law.

Even if you don’t support the Bundys. Even if you normally support law enforcement. Killing the guy in that ambush stinks.

The reason we don’t allow the military to do regular law enforcement is that the civilian agencies are supposedly trained to arrest, not execute.

C’est la vie.

On another note, drive safe on the commute into work everyone. Most areas are red to black right now. Snow still coming down in some parts too.

What;s an F-52?

The President is giving a press briefing with the Norwegian Prime Minister. He says we’ve sold them F-52’s and something that sounded like Daft aircraft, neither of them I’ve ever heard of.

I googled F52 and came up with nothing useful. Later the Norway PM mentioned we sold them 52 F-35’s.

The President needs better teleprompter writers.

It is likely due to his mental instability. He has a bad habit of repeating himself multiple times as well.

Also: Trump is a wuss. He won’t order a pre-emptive strike against the DPRK.
