The problem with this: Republicans are pretending to have brought about the end to the Israel-Arab conflict, but the Israel-Arab conflicted was ended by former President Jimmy Carter. And Israeli leaders have been quietly visiting Saudi Arabia for years. Both countries have been quietly engaged in diplomatic relations for at least 20 years.

In many ways, the Flynn case was one of the catalysts of the troubles of Trump's presidency: The deceit about secret talks with Russia led to his dismissal 24 days into the term and Trump's entreaty to Comey to not prosecute played a part in his firing and Mueller's appointment.
The White House statement on the Flynn pardon says it "sets right an injustice against an innocent man and an American hero" without acknowledging that Trump was the one who fired Flynn before his prosecution and admitted that Flynn lied.
History will record the shameful irony that a president who lied to avoid military service staged a bogus event on the hallowed grounds of Gettysburg in a brazen attempt to undermine the Republic for which scores of real patriots had fought & died to preserve since its founding.

Mueller prosecutor Andrew Weissmann says Trump should be investigated and charged with potential federal crimes after leaving office | But as painful and hard as it may be for the country, I believe the next attorney general should investigate Mr. Trump and, if warranted, prosecute him for potential federal crimes. I do not come to this position lightly. Indeed, we have witnessed two U.S. presidential elections in which large crowds have found it acceptable to chant with fervent zeal that the nominee of the opposing party should be jailed. We do not want to turn into an autocratic state, where law enforcement authorities are political weapons of the reigning party. But that is not sufficient reason to let Mr. Trump off the hook. | We amassed ample evidence to support a charge that Mr. Trump obstructed justice. That view is widely shared. Shortly after our report was issued, hundreds of former prosecutors concluded that the evidence supported such a charge. What precedent is set if obstructing such an investigation is allowed to go unpunished and undeterred? It is hard enough for the executive branch to investigate a sitting president, who has the power to fire a special counsel (if needed, through the attorney general) and to thwart cooperation with an investigation by use of the clemency power. We saw Mr. Trump use his clemency power to do just that with, for example, his ally Roger Stone. He commuted Mr. Stone's sentence, who was duly convicted by a jury but never spent a day in jail for crimes that a federal judge found were committed for the president. The same judge found that Paul Manafort, a former Trump campaign chairman, lied to us repeatedly, breaching his cooperation agreement. He, too, was surely holding out hope for a dangled pardon. | His potential criminal liability goes further, to actions before taking office. The Manhattan district attorney is by all appearances conducting a classic white-collar investigation into tax and bank fraud, and the New York attorney general is engaged in a civil investigation into similar allegations, which could quickly turn into a criminal inquiry. These state matters may well reveal evidence warranting additional federal charges. Such potential financial crimes were not explored by the special counsel investigation and could reveal criminal evidence. Any evidence that was not produced to Congress in its inquiries, like internal State Department and White House communications, is another potential trove to which the new administration should have access. | Sweeping under the rug Mr. Trump's federal obstruction would be worse still. The precedent set for not deterring a president's obstruction of a special counsel investigation would be too costly: It would make any future special counsel investigation toothless and set the presidency de facto above the law. For those who point to the pardon of Richard Nixon by Gerald Ford as precedent for simply looking forward, that is not analogous: Mr. Nixon paid a very heavy price by resigning from the presidency in disgrace for his conduct.

Just weeks before the reported pull out of about 700 US troops from Somalia, a CIA officer has been killed in the country, a death likely to stir debate over future of the counterterrorism mission there. This revelation comes on the anniversary of the death CIA officer Mike Spann, who was the 1st American and 1st Agency officer killed in Afghanistan war. As this important article notes, the death of a CIA officer in line of duty is extremely rare when compared to US military.

Fred Eshelman, owner of a venture capital firm, sued True the Vote Inc. today. He claims it duped him into giving it $2.5 million for its Validate the Vote 2020 campaign to file lawsuits to uncover fraud in the Nov. elections on behalf of Trump.

He says True the Vote's founder and attorney said they were going to file lawsuits in the seven closest battleground states with the goal of obtaining election data in discovery and needed $7.3 million for the effort.
https://twitter.com/cam_langford/status/1331735430228811776
But it filed just four lawsuits, one each in Wis., Mich., Penn. and Ga. And it voluntarily dismissed them all Nov. 16. "The decision to abandon those cases was made in concert with counsel for the Trump campaign," the lawsuit states.

He says the gift was "conditional" on True the Vote following through with its plans. He seeks an order declaring him the rightful owner of the $2.5 million and requiring the company to return it.

Wisconsin's presidential recount is completed. Joe Biden gained 87 votes and again won the state. Trump becomes the first presidential candidate in history to lose recounts in two different states.
Two weeks before failed #PA17 candidate Sean Parnell and others filed a lawsuit seeking to invalidate millions of mail-in votes in PA (a lawsuit that has since been rejected by PA Supreme Court), 2 urls were registered "parnellforsenate dot com" & "seanparnellforsenate dot com"
