Is Mark Kasowitz threat to file a formal complaint with the DOJ's Inspector-General a form of witness intimidation?

I would think so because Comey is no longer a government employee, and the very act of the president's private lawyer engaging in such an act can be construed as the president directly intimidating a witness during an active investigation.

Mendy is really tearing up the Swede RB.. Looks like Man City have got themselves an excellent attacking full back.

I see your handwork for that other side.

BTW, I don't think Conte like luiz In midfield. He rather field Matic.
Matic can barely run these days, while Luiz has got some pace. Matic's lethargy won't cut it against the top teams at the UCL.
So, I think Conte will try out Luiz as a DMF next season.

Lukaku and Pedro/Batahuayi can be accommodated in a 3-2-3-2 formation. Both Kante and Luiz could form a midfield pivot, with Fab, Hazard, and Moses supporting the two strikers

Nina4u:
Dammy Krane was arrested on June 2 and taken into custody after paying for a private jet with stolen credit cards...Dammy Krane’s court hearing has been fixed June 23, 2017 he has been released from a US jail after meeting his bail conditions, set at $7,500...he faces a 5 year term in prison.. What was he thinking...
Yeah
The judge would definitely not sentence him to consecutive 5-year prison terms on each of the 9 counts (i.e. 45 years). Of course, he will be entitled to appeal any unfavorable judgment; but if he eventually does time in prison, he will subsequently be deported and barred from entering the US for life except he obtains a special waiver from the DHS.

According to COPE radio, Diego Costa said: "Conte sent me a message saying I'm not in his plans for Chelsea so I'll have to find a way out"




Ladies and Gentlemen, Conte is a hero
Lukaku and Batshuayi could lead the line next season, with Father Abraham on the bench. A 3-4-1-2 formation would suit the team next term too

-------------------Courtois------------------

----------Azpi---------Cahill------------Alonso

---Moses-----Kante------Fab-------Alex Sandro

-------------------Hazard-------------------

------------Lukaku-----Batahuayi------------


If CFC can't get Sandro, the team can experiment with David Luiz in the midfield, in a 3-2-3-2 formation:


--------Azpi---------Cahill---------Alonso-----

--------------Kante-----David Luiz----------

--------Moses-------Fabregas--------Hazard----

---------------Batshuayi----Lukaku---------

Fun fact: 70% of the world's lawyers live in the US shocked
PoliticsRe: Law: Interesting Facts About The Legal Profession by PDPGuy(op): 8:54pm On Jun 07, 2017
Sector by sector, the American legal system has devolved to serve its major objective: the feeding of the hoards of greedy American lawyers. It is hard to find a single law, judicial convention, or legislative action which is not "alligned" to serve the greed objectives of the American legal profession. Yes there are a few noble lawyers who are doing good -- and generally they are starving. Then there are the necessary legal mechanics who do important, technical legal work which enables good things -- those are no more than 25,000 of the 1.1 million lawyer hoard in America.

Ninety percent of the 1.1 American lawyers in America are a productivity-inhibiting dead weight tax on America, which is a tax that it USED TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD, but can afford no longer. In America, the lawyers have latched on to every function of government such that the citizens cannot reasonably access these functions of government without paying protection money to an American lawyer. This is wrong on many levels.

The sooner America restructures its legal system to remove the necessity of lawyers from so many facets of American life, the better it will be for America.

The recent great recession surely ran a few out of the "profession", and kept others from entering it, but this was no more than "a good start". America needs no more than 100,000 lawyers, and might well be able to do with more like 50,000. The rest are a non-value-added extractive industry ruining so many things which used to be great about America, including its legislatures at the federal and state level.
PoliticsLaw: Interesting Facts About The Legal Profession by PDPGuy(op): 8:46pm On Jun 07, 2017
- Over 70% of the worlds lawyers live in the U.S.

- The U.S. has over 1.1 million lawyers !That's one lawyer for every 300 Americans.

- Washington D.C. boasts 1 lawyer for every 22 people!

- Number of Law Students Enrolled :125,000

- Number of New Lawyers every year in America: 400,000

- 60% of lawyers in Uruguay are women, the highest proportion of female lawyers anywhere in the world.

- With average annual earnings of over $216,000, attorneys in the US are the highest paid in the world; followed by
Switzerland at $198,997
Hong Kong at $186,032 (with 3 years experience)
South Africa at $182,431 (1-3 years experience)
Japan at $144,298
The U.K. rounds out the top 10 at 74,111 GBP (4 years experience)

However, there is just one path for a lawyer in most American states: a four-year undergraduate degree in some unrelated subject, then a three-year law degree at one of 200 law schools accredited by the American Bar Association and an expensive preparation for the bar exam. This leaves today’s average law-school graduate with $100,000 of debt on top of undergraduate debts. Law-school debt means that many cannot afford to go into government or non-profit work, and that they have to work fearsomely hard.

Reforming the system would help both lawyers and their customers—and these, at some point in a life, include most people. Sensible ideas have been around for a long time, but the state-level bodies that govern the profession have been too conservative to implement them. One idea is to allow people to study law as an undergraduate degree, as they can in common-law countries such as Britain. Another is to let students sit for the bar after only two years of law school (see article); the third year of law school is too often filled with elective courses like “Nietzsche and the Law” (on offer at New York University) that make little sense for working attorneys. If the bar exam is truly a stern enough test for a would-be lawyer, those who can sit it earlier should be allowed to do so. Students who do not need the extra training could cut their debt mountain by a third. Those who stay should use the time to acquire practical expertise or develop a speciality.


The other reason why costs are so high is the restrictive guild-like ownership structure of the business. Except in the District of Columbia, non-lawyers may not own any share of a law firm. This keeps fees high and innovation slow. At the top, lawyers’ fees have risen beyond $1,000 per hour. At the low end, companies such as LegalZoom, an automated online service providing wills, leases and simple contracts, is forced to limit its offering to customers lest it be prosecuted for practising law without a licence. There is pressure for change from within the profession—one law firm, Jacoby & Meyers, is suing three states for the right to take in outside investments (see article)—but opponents of change among the regulators insist that keeping outsiders out of a law firm isolates lawyers from the pressure to make money rather than serve clients ethically.

Far from undermining clients’ interests, allowing non-lawyers to own equity in law firms would reduce costs and improve services to customers by encouraging law firms, many of which are still knee-deep in paper, to use technology and to employ professional managers—the kind of people who tend to expect stock options as part of their package—to focus on improving firms’ efficiency. Anyone who thinks American lawyers do not already face pressure to make money could use the services of a different kind of professional.

Other countries have started liberalising their legal professions. Australia has the world’s first publicly listed law firm, in which anybody can buy shares. Britain has blessed “alternative business structures”: lawyers can now link up with other professionals, be bought by private-equity firms and even go public. America should follow.

The West has tied itself up in Laws. This is why I have always hated the Law and Lawyers.

Imaging someone planning an attack, you know it, but you can only monitor him until you have enough proof to ensure his sentence is a long one. You would think these terrorists are D'Angelo Barksdale or Marlo from The Wire.

In London, these boys carry ISIS Flag to Hyde Park and display it openly. That is the one that pisses me off the most. I was walking down Oxford Street some 3 years ago and those bearded gang were busy preaching with ISIS flag. My mind was boiling but I was heading back to work, I no want start kasala.

In my world, you carry ISIS flag, you die. You like ISIS flag on Facebook, you get life imprisonment. You follow any hate preacher on Youtube, you get life.

If the law prevents a people from having a secure society , that law is useless, but these lawyers like to wrap themselves up in inane arguments.

I see no reason why any Government that is constrained by its own laws should not form a clandestine force to kill terrorists like CoIntelpro, or the guys that took out the Black Panthers in America. That is what Putin would do.
The law can really be an ass at times.

The Geneva convention is the primary reason why Western governments are limited by what they can do to suspected terrorists. It extends the same protections afforded to soldiers who are prisoners of war to Al Qaeda, Boko Haram and ISIS terrorists.

Heck, even Amnesty International has been on the neck of the Nigerian government with regard to how Boko Haram suspects are treated while in detention. Moreover, a major reason why George W. Bush left office with a 25% approval rating was his administration's endorsement of "enhanced interrogation techniques" a.k.a torture upon Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other Guantanamo detainees. In fact, some of those detainees had been in detention for years without a formal charge proffered against them. Of course, evidence extracted via water-boarding is inadmissible in any US federal court; so the next best option for a US president is to release those detainees who do not pose an immediate national security threat to the country.

I'm with John Yoo, the former Office of Legal Council head who authored the DOJ memos that basically authorized the US military to waterboard suspected terrorists, that the Geneva convention has to be modified in a way that removes some due process protections for suspected terrorists.

The accused jihadi should still have access to a lawyer, but the government shouldn't have to turn in exculpatory evidence to the defense team.

In the US, the First amendment may have to be amended itself, or another amendment could be ratified which doesn't offer protection to any individual who shows solidarity with a an enemy force.
