Rick Gates Case News Today

This particular judge hasnt just overseen the rick gates case. she has overseen more criminal prosecutions stemming from the mueller investigation than any other judge in the country. shes had a whole bunch of them. and at this sentencing for rick gates today she, you know, rips rick gates for the severity of his crimes, she praises rick gates for accepting responsibility for his crimes and pleading guilty and becoming a wholehearted cooperator with prosecutors. indeed, he has agreed to keep coo...

Our best new idea for a t-shirt that could potentially explain the news this week. heres what the judge said today in court. quote, one of the letter writers said that gates got caught up in d.c. political drama, but i reject that. it is perfectly possible to conduct yourself with ethics, integrity and no hint of scandal even in politics. even in washington, d.c., even in ukraine. politics dont corrupt people, people corrupt politics. just in case we needed a better bumper sticker, politics dont...

With belt toe orourke, john hickenlooperer, amy klobuchar, and right now, voters are asking about health care, gun shootings, climate change, the national debt. theyre not bringing up the mueller -- what theyre saying in interviews, its too soon, we dont know whats in there as i sit here in new hampshire and i live my day to day life. i have much more immediate concerns if i have access to a potential president. presidential candidate, i want to talk about those issues, not sort of arm chair qua...

Reserved to notes on each case. you can zoom in on that notes case. in one case theyre talking specifically about the timeline of the girls last menstrual cycle as being tracked by the trump administration, except they spell menstrual wrong. this is literally the federal government tracking a 15-year-olds period because of what the federal government plans to do about it. lets look at one entry and detail here. one at random. just so you can see the kind of data they were collecting. this is a c...

Class action lawsuit led by that pregnant teenage girl who has literally being forced to continue this pregnancy against her will by the u.s. government until the aclu intervened to take her case and won it. bridget amiri is the aclu attorney who sued on her behalf and we talked to her about it at the time. >> they were literally holding her hostage, blocking the door, preventing her from obtaining an abortion. and i do believe that that was their goal, to hold her hostage until she carried this...

So we called up bridget amiri today when we obtained access to this document, this aclu lawyer who had fought this case, and one of the things she told us is that among the things that was most shocking about this document, which she had never previously seen, was that the dates on the spreadsheet show that scott lloyd kept tracking all the girls pregnancies and their menstrual cycles for months after that court ruling. that court ruling ordering him to stop interfering with access to abortion. ...

Told him. why would he want to keep a detailed record of individual girls menstrual cycles and the pregnancy status of girls and the means by which they became pregnant and the desires whether or not they wanted to have an abortion? week by week for all of these girls if he had pledged that he wasnt going to do anything else to block them from getting what they wanted? i mean, we dont know. we put in a request to hhs to speak to mr. lloyd or get a response from the department tonight. an hhs spo...

To block any girl who came into the clutches of that agency he was running, he would block any girl under his purview at that agency from getting an abortion. the only reason that 17-year-old rape victim from that 2017 case, the only reason she eventually was allowed to get an abortion, and the only reason we know about her plight is because she found her way to lawyers at the aclu who took her case, who sued the government on her behalf and won. she was the first jane doe in the case. she decid...

Access to abortion, right? they did very well in that suit. on march 30th of last year, they won a major victory in that case. not only had the original jane doe been allowed finally to get the abortion that she had been seeking, on march 30th, a federal judge granted class action status to that case and ordered scott lloyd and anybody else in charge at the trump administrations office of refugee resettlement that they needed to by court order stop interfering with or obstructing any class membe...

♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ when the presidents campaign chairman paul manafort was sentenced to federal prison for the second time this week, that led to a lot of expectations that maybe everything related to the special counsels office was wrapping up now, too. i will say i hope that by now everybodys learned to be at least a little bit humble about predicting whats going on with the special counsels office, since youve all been wrong, weve all been wrong, right? but when man...
