Elise Stefanik skewers Dems impeachment case with classic cross-examination techniques

Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 19, 2019 38 Comments

Elise Stefanik has been the target of a smear campaign led by George Conway, among others, because she has been so effective. She cross-examines witnesses the way cross-examination should be done: A tightly controlled examination that does not allow the witness to vary from prior testimony or to deny the obvious.

Two Jail Guards Watching Epstein Charged With Falsifying Records

Posted by Mary Chastain on November 19, 2019 16 Comments

Two correctional officers responsible for watching Jeffrey Epstein face charges of falsifying records:

The indictment charged the workers, Tova Noel and Michael Thomas, with making false records and conspiring to defraud the United States. Specifically, the indictment said the two workers failed to make their rounds to check on detainees and instead “sat at their desk, browsed the internet and moved around the common area.” Then they signed documents saying they had looked in inmates when they had not.

Posted by Mary Chastain on November 19, 2019 51 Comments

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, an Army officer at the National Security Council, told Nunes that he spoke with two people outside the White House about Trump's July 25 call with Ukrainian President Voldomyr Zelensky in the immediate wake of the interaction, including State Department official George Kent and one member of the "intelligence community."

Vassar President: It was anti-Semitic to shout at Israeli Jewish speaker “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free”

Posted by Samantha Mandeles on November 19, 2019 7 Comments

Search for Vassar College in Legal Insurrection's archives, and you'll find scores of posts documenting Vassar students' efforts to shut down speech with which they disagree. This is a longstanding problem on today's college campuses, and it is perhaps most commonly manifested in attacks on Israeli, pro-Israel, and/or Jewish speakers. Vassar College Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) has a particularly sordid history, including posting of an anti-Jewish and anti-American Nazi cartoon, glorifying terrorists, and picketing a course that involved travel to Israel.
