Днюха

Важная веха пройдена вчера. Трамп отметил день рожденья и 10% своего 4-летнего президентского срока. Помимо антироссийских санкций, подарком стал судебный иск 200 демократических конгрессменов о нарушении Конституции

Plaintiffs seek declaratory relief establishing that Defendant violates the Constitution when he accepts any monetary or nonmonetary benefit—any “present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever”—from a foreign state without first obtaining “the Consent of the Congress.” Plaintiffs also seek injunctive relief ordering Defendant not to accept any such benefits from a foreign state without first obtaining “the Consent of the Congress.”

а также публичное подтверждение того, что Трамп находится под расследованием специального прокурора Мюллера за попытку помешать правосудию. О последнем сообщает Washington Post:

The obstruction-of-justice investigation of the president began days after Comey was fired on May 9, according to people familiar with the matter. Mueller’s office has taken up that work, and the preliminary interviews scheduled with intelligence officials indicate that his team is actively pursuing potential witnesses inside and outside the government.

Две речи в Рино

[tijd.livejournal.com]

Две знаменитые речи во время избирательной кампании в одном и том же городе - Рино, Невада.

Клинтон, 25 августа 2016, 75 дней до выборов:

The de facto merger between Breitbart and the Trump Campaign represents a landmark achievement for the “Alt-Right.” A fringe element has effectively taken over the Republican Party. <...> The godfather of this global brand of extreme nationalism is Russian President Vladimir Putin.
<...> Trump himself heaps praise on Putin and embrace pro-Russian policies. He talks casually of abandoning our NATO allies, recognizing Russia’s annexation of Crimea, and of giving the Kremlin a free hand in Eastern Europe more generally. American presidents from Truman to Reagan have rejected the kind of approach Trump is taking on Russia. We should, too.

Трамп, 5 ноября 2016, 3 дня до выборов:

There's virtually no doubt that FBI Director Comey and the great, great special agents of the FBI will be able to collect more than enough evidence to garner indictments against Hillary Clinton and her inner circle despite her efforts to disparage them and to discredit them. <..> We need a government that can work and work well from day one for the American people. [Applause and Cheering] That will be impossible with Hillary Clinton, the prime suspect in a massive far-reaching criminal investigation. Her current scandals and controversies will continue throughout her presence and will make it virtually impossible for her to govern or lead our country.
