The USA has raised the Jolly Roger higher up it's mast.
One of the City’s so-called magic circle law firms is the latest to strike a deal to provide pro bono legal services to the White House.
A&O Shearman had agreed to the arrangement in exchange for regulators dropping investigations into the firm’s diversity practices.

"From North Africa to the Gulf, the UAE has aggressively expanded its counter-revolutionary strategy in the wake of the Arab Spring"
by Andreas Krieg: https://www.middleeasteye.net/big-story/abu-dhabi-built-axis-secessionists-across-region-how
During his first 6 weeks in power, #Trump & his appointees have torn down many of the barriers that have long existed between the White House & the #DOJ to prevent political #interference in the impartial application of #justice & ensure the #independence of federal #law enforcement agencies.
But Trump, who was 2X indicted by the DOJ, has long viewed the agency as the center of “deep state” resistance to him.
“Britain’s Secret Overseas Meddling Machine”

“The #Westminster #Foundation for #Democracy (#WFD), a British #intelligence #cutout, covertly funds and orchestrates political destabilization and regime change efforts worldwide under the guise of democracy promotion”

@AlisonCreekside Yikes! “say with a lot of confidence that this is just part of the long running right-wing, pro-Trump influence campaign active on issues as diverse as Iran, Brexit and climate change denial.” Similar to @GeoffyPJohnston story recently. #Interference
"Quand #Macron dit qu'#Elon Musk fait de l'#interférence d'élection, c'est une distorsion terrible de la langue française.
#Musk ne fait pas de l'interférence, il exerce son droit à la liberté d'expression.
Ceux qui attaquent Musk pour la #liberté d'expression prouvent précisément son argument:
qu'il y a des leaders tyranniques qui enlèvent aux gens le droit à parler librement.
Et ils n'essaient même pas de le cacher. Ils espèrent juste que vous ne remarquerez pas.
Voilà ce que c'est d'être #totalitaire. Vous décidez qui a droit à la libre expression.
Et par coïncidence, ceux qui y ont droit sont ceux qui sont d'accord avec vous." Don Luskin sur FoxNews.
