{propublica.org} ~ Federal authorities raided the office of Republican fundraiser Elliott Broidy last summer, seeking records related to his dealings with foreign officials and Trump administration associates... according to a sealed search warrant obtained by ProPublica. Agents were authorized to use the megadonor’s hands and face to unlock any phones that required fingerprint or facial scans. The Washington Post reported in August that the Justice Department was investigating Broidy. The sealed warrant offers new details of federal authorities’ investigation of allegations that Broidy had attempted to cash in on his Trump White House connections in dealings with foreign officials. It also shows that the government took a more aggressive approach with the Trump ally than was previously known, entering his office and removing records — just as it did with Trump’s personal lawyer Michael Cohen. Broidy served as a major Trump campaign fundraiser and was the national deputy finance chair of the Republican National Committee until he resigned in April 2018, when it was revealed he had agreed to secretly pay off a former Playboy model in exchange for her silence about their affair. The search warrant cites three potential crimes that authorities are investigating: conspiracy, money laundering and violations of the law barring covert lobbying on behalf of foreign officials. To obtain a search warrant, authorities have to convince a judge that there’s a probable cause they will find evidence of those specific crimes. The search warrant also for the first time links Broidy to a globe-trotting Miami Beach party promoter...
Political Editors: “I myself, personally — I’m not speaking for my caucus — I myself have always been for lowering the voting age to 16,” House Speaker Nancy Pulosi (D-CA) said at a press conference on Thursday. She added, “I think it’s really important to capture kids when they’re in high school when they’re interested in all of this when they’re learning about government to be able to vote.”
The issue of lowering the voting age to 16 was brought up last week as the House debated adding it as an amendment to the Democrats’ ironically named “For the People Act,” or HR 1. The bill that the ACLU condemned as “unconstitutionally infringe the freedoms of speech and association.”
Pulosi did not, however, also advocate for lowering the age of official recognized adulthood, nor did she call for lowering the age of registration for the selective service, or reducing the age at which children are no longer eligible for their parents’ health insurance (under scumbag/liar-nObamaCare, it’s 26). It’s almost as if Pulosi and her fellow Democrats want to increase the pool of most easily manipulated voters…
