I posted briefly about this last week when the decision was published - the issue the court ruled on was that the 9th had strayed from the litigants arguments and solicited several liberal groups to submit ‘friend of the court’ briefs & then used their reasoning instead of anything that the litigants had made since then they would have had to rule on the merits. The case was returned to the 9th with direction to rule on the matter at hand using the litigants’ briefs, something nobody could disagree with and thus 9-0 with opinion by RBG.

60 Minutes on CBS is the second example in 24 hours of completely dishonest editing, this time of @SecPompeo

CBS cut out the portion of Pompeo’s remarks where he clearly acknowledges that he agrees with the intelligence community assessment.

Your recouting reminds me of the CIA asset who procured Barry's LFBC. "Loretta Fuddy," was said through the planned ditching of a Cessna Grand Caravan off the coast of Molokai on 12/11/2013 (merely three months after James Comey was made FBI Director) to have died in its aftermath, where the plane's complement of nine people--all "in the know"-- made observations about Fuddy's purported demise. The causes they said they observed surrounding Fuddy's passing were augmented by observations of several medically-trained professionals.

Quite surprisingly, a series of six different causes of Fuddy's death were put forward. These were put forward in the following order:

  1) Fuddy's Deputy (who stayed near her): she looked stressed, went limp,
      closed her eyes, was no longer breathing
  2) USCG Rescue Swimmer: Fuddy sustained severe internal injuries
  3) Maui Police Lt./Coroner: cardiac arrhythmia
  4) Maui County Police Spokesman and Honolulu Deput Fire Chief:
      Fuddy's body was trapped in the plane's fuselage, which then sank
  5) Medical Examiner: drowning (pending toxicology report)
  6) Medical Examiner: arrhythmia from stress, fear and hyperventilation

The autopsy report took the Medical Examiner a month to deliver. Its conclusions were based not on things observed while viewing the ostensible body, but on later, supposedly-observed-representations of the decedent's co-passengers, even as those later representations took 180-degree turns from witness reports within the first hours of the event. Those statements went toward Fuddy's presumed emotional and mental state, which were after-the-fact, without direct witness, deemed to have been stressful, causing hyperventilation that purportedly gave rise to an acute heart arrhythmia, even though Fuddy had no known history of a heart condition. An arrhythmia not contemporaneously observed by medically trained personnel cannot be known to have transpired, as arrhythmia leaves no markers or tell-tale signs of its occurrence.

Although the USCG Commander's log indicates the commander ordered the FBI to be contacted, our FOIA to FBI found no responsive documents, which should likely be interpreted as purposeful bureaucratic malfeasance, as we know there should be many documents and records of communication concerning the purported death of a high state official in international waters.
