The "msm" does not seem to be covering this ... Fugitive Chinese researcher arrested overnight, being held in Sacramento County Jail The Chinese researcher who fled her post as a visiting researcher at UC Davis after being questioned by the FBI has emerged from the Chinese consulate in San Francisco and is in custody at the Sacramento County Main Jail, online jail records show. </snip>

Someone on another forum I read was asked for a Reader's Digest version of why this was important. I found it interesting: In August 2016, the Trump campaign was starting to get classified defensive briefings by the FBI since he was the Republican nominee. This was normal procedure. The team included Trump, Chris Christie, and General Mike Flynn. However, the small cabal at the FBI was using it for a different purpose. They wanted to gauge the reactions of the people in the room to the information so they could begin building a psychological profile of the people for later use. It was not a defensive briefing because the FBI did not tell the Trump campaign that George Papadopolous was under investigation at the time for potential Russia collusion. That is an enormous red flag, not warning Trump that a member of his campaign was potentially compromised. Fast forward to January 2017 when Comey bragged he sent a couple FBI agents to the White House to interview General Mike Flynn. Highly unusual, they even told Flynn he didn't need a lawyer so that he would be relaxed and unprotected. But the meeting was a bit of a bust as both agents, the same agents who did the August 2016 briefing, Strzok and Pientka, did this interview so they could use the "baseline" they built of Flynn to judge how honest he was being about his contact with the Russian ambassador and both agents said Flynn appeared to be telling the truth as he remembered it. They then, months later altered the Flynn 302 to make it appear they thought he was lying at the time. The original 302 has been missing since the start of the investigation, one reason Flynn's case was completely corrupt. These documents were apparently hidden until recently and were found by the US Attorney who has been assisting Durham, Jeff Jensen. He has been combing through the Mueller team files and he found it and gave it to both Sidney Powell and Durham for their respective uses. Now we have it too. The August 2016 meeting was supposed to be defensive briefing, they were supposed to tell the Trump campaign about any and all threats to the US and to the campaign. Yet they did not tell the Trump campaign they were concerned about George Papa and his alleged contacts with Russian agents.

Oh, do tell... who is this mythical "bipartisan" President?

Twitter exploring subscription options as ad revenue drops sharply Twitter is actively exploring additional ways to make money from its users, including by considering a subscription model, CEO Jack Dorsey said Thursday. The move comes as Twitter suffers a sharp decline in its core advertising business. "You will likely see some tests this year" of various approaches, Dorsey told analysts on an investor call held to discuss the company's second-quarter earnings results. Dorsey said he has "a really high bar for when we would ask consumers to pay for aspects of Twitter," but confirmed that the company is seeking to diversify its sources of revenue in what are "very, very early phases of exploring." </snip>

The ? was because any mention of Demolition Man always deserves a thumbs up.

Cohen had refused to sign a form that would have barred him from speaking in public, including by publishing a book, as a condition of continued home confinement. A federal judge on Thursday ordered the release of Michael Cohen to home confinement, agreeing with his lawyers that he was wrongly sent back to prison after making public statements critical of President Donald Trump. Cohen should be released by Friday at 2 pm, the judge said. Cohen's lawyers said during a telephone hearing that prison officials violated his constitutional right of free expression on July 9 by ending his home confinement and returning him to the federal penitentiary in Otisville, New York, after the longtime Trump fixer and confidant said a book about his experiences working closely with the president would be published in the fall. </snip>
