Joe DeGenova is speculating that the issue is the jury pool in D.C. Only 4% voted for Trump and prosecutors generally don’t bring cases they don’t have a good chance of winning.
My response to that is, if the process if the punishment, process the fucker.
Well, maybe not the jury pool. Maybe the JUDGE. Who is, quite obviously, anti-Trump
Reggie Walton, who is handling the FOIA case, had publicly pressed prosecutors to make a final decision about the McCabe prosecution and had set a deadline Friday for them to disclose previously-secret records related to the FOIA litigation.
The newly-disclosed files showed that in private, Walton was even more stern with prosecutors, warning them that Trump’s complaints about McCabe would taint any decision they made.
“The public is listening to what’s going on, and I don’t think people like the fact that you got somebody at the top basically trying to dictate whether somebody should be prosecuted … I just think it’s a banana republic when we go down that road,” Walton told government lawyers behind closed doors in September. “I think there are a lot of people on the outside who perceive that there is undo inappropriate pressure being brought to bear … It’s just, it’s very disturbing that we’re in the mess that we’re in in that regard.
“I just think the integrity of the process is being unduly undermined by inappropriate comments and actions on the part of people at the top of our government,” added Walton, an appointee of President George W. Bush. “I think it’s very unfortunate. And I think as a government and as a society we’re going to pay a price at some point for this.”
But Trump’s tweets came AFTER McCabe admitted to lying, IIRC

Happy Valentines Day. Here is his story.
The Department of Justice has tapped an outside prosecutor to review the case of former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, Fox News has learned.
A senior Justice Department official told Fox News on Friday that Jeff Jensen, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri, has been assigned to Flynn’s case.
Jensen will be working hand-in-hand with the lead prosecutor of Flynn case, Brandon Van Grack, according to the official.

https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/china-disintegrating-steel-demand-property-sales-traffic-all-approaching-zero
Remember that because dodgy CCP economic counting techniques combined with a housing sector that sports a 40% BS factor due to corrupt Provincial build data that include building for demolition to meet CCP Five Year Plan requirements. To put it simply that means that the ACTUAL Chinese GDP is factored 6% higher than its real GDP.
Given that China has had ZERO GDP Growth since 1015 and it’s looking down the barrel of MINUS 7% for 2020’s Q1 with no likelihood of any rebound for Q2 as the numbers continue south in an apparent freefall.
Don’t expect the West go get away from this recession scot free either. Being joined at the hip to china as many in the West are means that many western economies will feel China’s economic pain. In particular the US , EU, and Australasia, not to mention all of those Africal economies who sold their should to become China’s quarries.

Several weeks ago I met a friend for lunch. After lunch we sat in friend’s car for a while and discussed electrical kitchen appliances. I think it was either crock pots or air fryers. Anyway the actual product is irrelivent but the store my friend advised me to look at was… and as my friend spoke the name of the store my mind interpreted it as “Coles”
Later that evening I started seeing adverts on web pages for “Khol’s” Hey what a coincidence!!!! And that is how Coles is really spelt.
Today, lunch again and we both sat in friends car after and talked about coronavirus and the cruise ship that had 3000 on board for weeks. Talked about crieses in general and both agreed that it was not something either of us would do, or like. Except maybe Alaska.
I also said Mediterranean may be good as you just get on ship, it sails four hours and you get off and visit a place, get back on, eat sleep and next day another new place to visit. But again I am rambling….
Got back to my apartment, got on the Internet and I bet you will never guess what adverts are appearing.
Mediterranean cruise $2,999
Next time I meet my friend for lunch I am going to use sign language.

https://www.guggenheiminvestments.com/perspectives/global-cio-outlook/coronavirus-impact-on-the-global-economy
Yet as a major economic problem looms on the horizon, the cognitive disconnect between current asset prices and reality feels like the market equivalent of “peace for our time.” The average BBB bond yields just 2.9 percent. A recent 10-year BB-rated healthcare bond came to market at 3.5 percent and subsequently was increased in size from $1 billion to $1.7 billion due to excess demand.
For those investors who perceive the disconnect between risk assets which are priced for a rosy outcome and the reality of the looming risks to growth and earnings, any attempt to reduce risk leads to underperformance. It is a mind-numbing exercise for investors who see the cognitive dissonance

What I want to know is WHO was on the Telecommunications Advisory Group overseeing the implementation of 5G networks for the UK, and who advised PM Boris Johnson to allow Chinese 5G anywhere neat the UK’s communications system.
Surely some ‘cub reporter’ from the British Telegraph group can easily dig up the names of these so called ‘experts’. By even suggesting that peripheral systems can be isolated from the Core Systems in a 5G network is delusional, as by its very nature processing is spread to peripheral systems to increase speed.
There is a need to expose these ‘advisers’ to the cold light of public investigation before any recommendation can be accepted. Vested interests these days are the ‘coin of the realm’ and corruption run deep and crosses international boundaries.
We all need to know who is who in these advisory groups that suggest such outlandish and dangerous paths to follow. Surely some news hound with his salt can name and expose these so called ‘experts’. We need to know their histories before we can weigh the value of their suggestions.
