#MidnightMitch Trends As McConnell Is Accused of Trying to Cover Up Trump Impeachment Trial 'In the Dark of Night'
https://www.newsweek.com/midnight-mitch-mcconnell-donald-trump-impeachment-trial-1483132
In a statement published on Twitter, Harvard University's
Constitutional Law Scholar Laurence Tribe agreed, saying McConnell's
rules "aren't rules for a real trial at all, much less a fair one.
They're rules for a rigged outcome, with #MidnightMitch making sure that
as much of the so-called trial as possible takes place in the dark of
night."

The Constitutional Question at the Heart of Trump's Impeachment
https://time.com/5768470/donald-trump-impeachment-trial-constitution/
In other words, Trump’s lawyers argue, his pressure on Ukraine fell
within the presidency’s foreign policy-making powers, whether he was
doing it to root out corruption, as Trump has claimed, or for political
advantage, as Democrats allege. “Abuse of power, even if proved, is not
an impeachable offense,” Trump’s lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who will be
presenting constitutional arguments at the trial, said Friday on MSNBC.
House Democrats flatly reject this reading of the Constitution.
“Abuse of power was a principal concern of the Framers,” according to a
Democratic staffer working on impeachment, noting that impeachment
articles voted out of the House Judiciary Committee in 1974 against
President Richard Nixon charged him with abuse of power. “Abuse of power
was no vague or weak notion to the Framers. It had a very specific
meaning: the use of official power to obtain an improper personal
benefit, while ignoring or injuring the national interest… The President
does not need to commit a crime for there to be an impeachable
offense.”
But fortunately for Trump, no Congress in our country’s history ever
thought to explicitly outlaw using the power of the presidency to help
win re-election. Starting Tuesday, Senators will have to decide whether,
in the end, that’s all that matters.

Elderly Long Beach woman at center of legal battle over life support dies
The longtime New York City public school math teacher had signed a
living will in 1999 requesting to be taken off life support if she
became seriously ill. Her oldest son, Edward Lester, 62, of Long Beach,
claimed she had changed her mind and shared a video with the New York
Post before Capetola issued the gag order he claims shows her mouthing
the words, “I want to live.”
Kyle Lester, 58, of Dix Hills, claimed
in court papers that his older brother Edward Lester wanted to keep
their mother alive with a ventilator and feeding tube against her wishes
so he could continue to collect her $5,400 a month in Social Security
and pension payments, an allegation Edward Lester vehemently denied.

Israel arrests alleged sex abuser Gershon Kranczer 10 years after he fled there
An American rabbi who fled to Israel ten years ago after being
accused of sexually abusing female relatives was arrested by Israeli
police on Sunday, according to Israel’s Justice Ministry.
Jewish Community Watch, a watchdog organization that tries to combat
child sexual abuse within the Orthodox Jewish community, identified that
man as Rabbi Gershon Kranczer, a former principal of a Brooklyn
yeshiva. An American law enforcement official who has direct knowledge
of this case also independently confirmed Kranczer’s identity to the
Forward.

We
reported on a religious young woman, Lital bas Miriam Cohen of Tel
Aviv, 26, incarcerated on Monday for her steadfast refusal to sacrifice
her religious principles and her personal purity by enlisting in the
Israeli Army.
She is now being persecuted in
jail for her fidelity to Torah Law, denied even a sheet to sleep on,
contact with an attorney entering the jail to speak to her and bring her
items from home, and in other ways. They are clearly trying to break
her. They're also apparently seeking to extend her incarceration without
appropriate due process.
Please stay tuned, we hope to post more updates throughout the week.
Please
daven and learn for Lital bas Miriam, intelligently circulate this
information, and protest any "frum" media venues who opt to
intentionally silence this story.

UPDATE on Ziva bas Mazal

A Follow up on this most recent post:

We've reported on Ziva bas Mazal in the past (e.g. https://daattorah.blogspot.
https://daattorah.blogspot.
The Army chooses their victims judiciously, and apparently treats them with similarly thoughtful consideration.
° Ziva is currently suffering as a female, who is being persecuted with the overt intent to compel her to violate her personal modesty by enlisting in the notoriously exploitive and immoral Army.
° She is enduring what is nothing less than religious persecution, for her fidelity to the Torah prohibition against enlistment in the Army.
° She's enduring blatant mistreatment that appears more frequently in the cases involving those within the naturally less-advantaged Ethiopian community. (Some elitist, antireligious Ashkenazi bigots consider it their duty to integrate black Jewish girls into the military melting pot.)
° Additionally, the elitists in Maitav evidently feel it imperative that the entire family participate in this social-engineering draft process. Ziva's elderly parents, particularly her acutely infirm father, are being subjected to all of the pain of witnessing this ongoing, illegal charade against their daughter.
More soon BE"H.

Devin Nunes Now Remembers Talking to Giuliani Associate Lev Parnas After Previously Saying He Couldn't Recall His Name
https://www.newsweek.com/devin-nunes-remembers-talking-lev-parnas-1482480
Speaking with Martha MacCallum on Fox News in the wake of the Parnas
interview, Nunes said the businessman was "someone who doesn't tell the
truth," and brought up his indictment on campaign finance charges.
Reminded
that he previously said he didn't "recall" a phone call with the
Giuliani associate, the GOP representative said: "If you recall, that
was brand new when it came out, when I was on your show. I just didn't
know the name. This name Parnas.
The White House Broke The Law By Freezing Ukraine Aid, Watchdog Says
https://time.com/5766471/watchdog-white-house-illegal-aid-freeze/
Administration officials on Thursday were quick to point out that GAO
is an arm of Congress and the administration is not bound by any of its
findings. A senior administration official on Thursday called GAO’s
decision “a pretty clear overreach as they attempt to insert themselves
into the media’s controversy of the day.”
“We disagree with GAO’s opinion,” OMB Spokesperson
Rachel Semmel said in a statement to TIME. “OMB uses its apportionment
authority to ensure taxpayer dollars are properly spent consistent with
the President’s priorities and with the law.”
But recently released internal government emails, as well as transcripts of closed-door depositions and interviews with TIME,
show that both Pentagon and OMB officials became increasingly concerned
that what they were being asked to do could violate this very law. The
Impoundment Control Act of 1974 requires the executive branch to spend
money as appropriated by Congress.
Under that law, the President “has narrow, limited
authority to withhold appropriations,” GAO General Counsel Thomas
Armstrong said in a statement on Thursday.
The White House budget office told GAO that it
withheld the funds to ensure that they were not spent “in a manner that
could conflict with the President’s foreign policy.” The law does not
permit OMB to withhold funds for policy reasons,” Armstrong concluded.
