By Mike LaSusa Law360 November 9, 2019 Law360 (November 7, 2019, 11:25 PM EST) — Former Maricopa County, Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio launched a fresh defamation suit on Thursday seeking more than $300 million in damages from HuffPost, Rolling Stone and journalists at both publications after recently losing a similar case in the same Washington, D.C., federal court. Arpaio claimed the publications and journalists had defamed him, in the case of HuffPost and senior political reporter Kevin Robillard by saying Arpaio had been “sent to prison” for contempt of court, and in the case of Rolling Stone and staff…
By Larry Klayman WND November 9, 2019 I am a risk taker. Not being content to just file Freedom of Information Act requests, which can never be lost since documents will always be produced, I have always tried to use creative court cases with real clients to try to bring about justice and further the rule of law and respect for our Constitution.

Senate beginning preparations for an impeachment trial By Lauren Fox CNN November 6, 2019 (CNN)While senators await the House of Representatives to move into the public phase of their impeachment inquiry, aides and members are beginning to prepare for a likely Senate trial. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are cautious: there are no articles of impeachment and the House hasn’t voted to impeach the President. But, the logistical undertaking of a Senate impeachment trial isn’t an easy lift and can’t snap into action overnight leading to conversations that have begun in even small ways. Talks are…
The Last Trusted Prosecutor in Washington | National Review By Jim Geraghty National Review November 5, 2019 John Durham is the legendary lawman digging into how the intelligence probe of Donald Trump started. John Durham may be the most consequential and least known figure in Washington right now.

Some Trump fans believe there was a vast…
Fox News judge predicts Supreme Court could make Trump turn over tax returns “before Christmas” Newsweek November 4, 2019 A New York federal appeals court ruled on Monday that Trump’s tax returns can be turned over to criminal investigators in the state. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals’ judgment, which is expected to be challenged, came after the president’s attorneys argued that he is exempt from state criminal law due to his position in office. In response, the three-judge panel decided that “any presidential immunity does not extend to investigative steps like the grand jury subpoena at…

Mark Levin: Barr and Durham should investigate trio of former National Security Council staffers Washington Examiner November 3, 2019 Conservative commentator Mark Levin says the Justice Department should investigate three former National Security Council staffers. One former staffer filed a complaint that spurred House impeachment proceedings and two others were recruited by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff. Levin, who was Attorney General Edwin Meese’s chief of staff during the Reagan administration, appeared on Fox News host Sean Hannity’s show last week and discussed how the National Security Council has been exposed as a “rat’s nest” in President…
Fox News Poll: 49 percent favor impeaching Trump By Dana Blanton Fox News November 3, 2019 Nearly half of voters want President Trump impeached and removed from office, according to a new Fox News Poll. In addition, 6-in-10 believe the president did ask foreign leaders to investigate political opponents — and two-thirds say that action is inappropriate. Forty-nine percent want Trump impeached and removed from office, 4 percent say he should be impeached but not removed, and 41 percent oppose impeaching Trump. That’s about where things stood in early October, when 51 percent said impeach/remove, 4 percent impeach/don’t…
Fox News judge says the “proof” in Trump impeachment inquiry is “undisputed,” despite president’s “hoax” claims Newsweek November 3, 2019 “One can see that the reason Republicans have been attacking the process of impeachment is largely because there is no credible defense to the proof of impeachment. That proof has been hiding in plain sight—in the president’s public words and the context to be provided by witnesses—and will soon be revealed.” Napolitano had previously defended House Democrats and their approach to the impeachment probe during an appearance on Fox & Friends on Thursday morning. “Congressman Schiff is, in…
