A growing middle class, digital disruption, sustainable innovation. What do all these have in common? The increasing prevalence of Latin America on the global stage. With this in mind, EXMA, the largest marketing platform across IberoAmerica (Spain, LatAm, US) is unveiling major 2019 plans. On May 27th the organization will host its marquee event in Bogota, Colombia.
The two-day conference will deal with topics such as digital transformation, strategy, creative economy, entrepreneurship and new business models, with around 60 world-class exhibitors, including an unprecedented special guest, the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, who will be leading discussions on innovation, among other topics as EXMA presents “A Conversation with President Barack Obama.” … https://finance.yahoo.com/news/exma-announces-barack-obama-speak-190100498.html

Dear Senator @MarkWarner, if your colleague @SenatorBurr has decided to honor his #OathOfOffice, defend #TheConstitution and, thereby, #RuleOfLaw, every Patriotic American applauds him.
If this is but another @GOP scam to enable #Putin to destroy our Democracy, squash him. pic.twitter.com/BqC6cOxZGJ
I had a similar thought about Burr, because I think Warner and he have a pretty good relationship, and I trust Warner enough to go along - unless we hear differently. Fingers crossed.
I heard another D senator say last week (he is on that Senate committee, but do not remember who it was) that that committee has really worked rather bipartisan from the beginning. Hope he is right.
The list is now at more than 800: 800+ former federal prosecutors have signed onto a statement asserting that if the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel did not prohibit a sitting president from being indicted, Trump would be charged with obstruction of justice. https://t.co/YuBFCc9UTu
Flashback. I remember being outraged and curious as to why they would do this…but damn it! You better wear your flag pin on your lapel or you aren’t a proud America! I really hate these sobs
Eight Republicans in Congress celebrated July 4th in Russia in 2018. Think about that. Russia had just attacked the United States. And they were hanging out in Russia. If that’s not treason, I don’t know what is. They had no business being there. It’s absolutely absurd #PutinsGOP
Last night Trump laughed about shooting immigrants. It’s a new new low for the biggest traitor in American history. Disgusting. Absolutely pathetic & un-American. He should be impeached just for this. Abhorrent & gross. Where’s the Republican outrage? I hear *crickets* #PutinsGOP
By the time Putin was in power, there was a serious problem: Trump was a mess. Fred Trump had deteriorated in the 90s, & without him, Donald had lost all control of his father's empire. He was simply too stupid and reckless to run it. Bankruptcies, divorces, partying w/ Epstein..

From Chairman Nadler’s statement to committee yesterday:
“No person—and certainly not the top law enforcement officer in the country—can be permitted to flout the will of Congress and to defy a valid subpoena.”
(Have transcribed) from Chairman Nadler’s interview with Rachel Maddow last night:
“to evade accountability to evade the information getting out, to evade the American people from having information and they need to judge the Administration and support or oppose whatever it’s doing. We can’t abide this obviously, we have to maintain a democratic form of government which means the people have to decide ultimately and they can’t do that without the requisite information which the Administration is trying to deny them. So that is why we issued subpoenas. That is why we cited the Attorney General for contempt today. It will be voted on in the next couple of weeks and that will go into court to enforce the subpoena. We are going to ask the court to expedite the matter as fast as possible, we have some strategies for that, and that’s really what we have to do to thwart the Administration’s desire to run a lawless administration…
..We have an Attorney General who is not only acting as a personal attorney for the President instead rather than the Attorney General for the United States, but he is turning the Justice Department into a vehicle for evading the law.”
And again the order by the Administration to Mueller and to McGahn not to testify is a lawless order.
There’s no possible interpretation of executive privilege which would justify telling someone who has already given out information publicly either to the Mueller investigation or to his own attorney, that that is privileged information. It is just the Trump Administration being lawless and trying to deny the American people all information and putting pressure on Mueller and McGahn not to testify. Of course we have a lot of questions for Mueller and McGahn. And remember that Barr began this whole process by misrepresenting what was in the Mueller report twice, and by making his own judgement about what the Mueller report clearly intended to be Congress’s judgement. And then attempts to silence Mueller and make sure he doesn’t appear before Congress or before anybody.
…it leads one to wonder what they’re afraid of. Remember the Attorney General has told us repeatedly and all the Republicans and Senator McConnell have told us that the finding of the Mueller report was ‘no collusion, no obstruction’. If that’s true why are they trying to hide it?
It’s obviously not true.”
Chairman Nadler: “…(Mueller) will no longer be an employee of the Justice department in a couple of weeks, at which point they can’t tell him what to do at all. And even private citizens and employees of the Justice Department must testify for a congressional or court subpoena. It is not optional, period. And the American have a right to that information including (questions which Maddow had posed earlier) …was the Mueller investigation stopped by Barr. Was he told to stop, was he told not to mention certain subjects in his report, those are certainly questions we’ll ask him.”
Chairman Nadler:
“…Because the bottom line is this is not a fight between Mueller and the Trump Administration or Mueller and Barr, the bottom line is does the American people have the right to information with which they can make decisions in governing. This is a democratic country. If you can vote but have no information because the information is guarded by the Administration, and you don’t know what the Administration is doing, you don’t know what crimes they are committing, you don’t know anything, then the vote becomes very hollow. This is why this is such a crisis for a democracy and we have to prevail here. We have never had a president who instructed people to ignore all subpoenas. And when you ignore a subpoena you’re ignoring a subpoena not just from Congress but for information for the American people, and we’ve never had that before. And we have to vindicate the right of the American people to this information. We have to vindicate the fact that the President is not above the law and that people can testify against him if they have something to testify about.”

Comrade minus posted a picture of himself aboard Air Force One meeting with two U.S. Senators while “discussing the terrible abuses by Maduro” of Venezuela. Yet Sen. Rick Scott was outright laughing. When President Obama held a meeting aboard Air Force One about a serious topic, participants didn’t laugh.
Neal Katyal told Maddow he might call this battle of “Trump versus the Truth”. And that Trump is afraid of “all this stuff coming out to the American public and to Congress”. Don’t know if you’ve noticed Neal Katyal’s subtly hilarious humor. For example he said last night that with Trump blocking everything from tax returns to witnesses: Trump is “kind of like a vampire afraid of sunlight.”
-heh.
Per the rules for Special Counsel that Katyal co-set up in the 1990s:
Katyal explained that Mr. Mueller can resign and testify. And that Trump’s idea that everyone in the Mueller report is now blocked by executive privilege is ‘palpably ridiculous’. He points out that he can download the report onto his phone as well as his computer!!
By July 1974, SCOTUS justices had all voted against Nixon. Katyal: “And this case is even stronger” than the one against Nixon.

This ludicrous distortion of executive privilege is nothing but a delay tactic. The Mueller report isn't advice to the President, which is what the privilege is meant to protect. But I guess Trump's efforts to conceal the report show he finally understands how bad it is for him.
