This is a sitting district court judge empowered to make factual findings and he can’t even tell whether that was an “attack”?

Today, Clayton is in control at SDNY, and the Halkbank case appears to be heading to an out-of-court resolution as Trump appears to have neutralized SDNY's famed independence from Main Justice.

This is not materially different from Josef Mengele. The concept is to deliberately expose people to serious harm so you can gather more data on what you already know will hurt them. It's not some big coincidence the Nuremberg Code expressly prohibits everything resembling this kind of "science."

Pritzker needs to take some sort of demonstrative action against this. But nothing he does will stop this. Still, liberal voters and elected leaders are confronted by the fact that the police are not democratically accountable. They have no interest in protecting you or your rights from the feds.

FRANCE, GERMANY, POLAND, ITALY, SPAIN, UNITED KINGDOM EU HIGH REPRESENTATIVE FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND SECURITY POLICY

We are ready to enhance our support for Ukraine.
We commit to its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity in the face of Russia's war of aggression.
We share the goal to keep supporting Ukraine until a just, comprehensive and lasting peace is reached.
A peace that guarantees the interest of Ukraine and our own.
We are looking forward to discussing the way ahead together with our American allies.
Our shared objectives should be to put Ukraine in a position of strength. Ukraine and Europe must be part of any negotiations.
Ukraine should be provided with strong security guarantees.
A just and lasting peace in Ukraine is a necessary condition for a strong transatlantic security.
We recall that the security of the European continent is our common responsibility. We are therefore working together to strengthen our collective defense capabilities.
