Here it is:
GOP operative hunted Clinton’s 30,000 emails via Russian hackers — and had a ‘line of communication’ with Flynn
“Peter Smith, a Republican opposition researcher who implied he was working with former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, sought access to emails stolen—likely by Russian hackers—from Hillary Clinton’s private email before the 2016 election, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Smith told his inner circle and potential recruits he was “talking to Michael Flynn about the his attempts to obtain those emails, computer-security expert Eric York told the Journal.
The Journal notes that federal investigators probing the link between Donald Trump’s campaign and Russian operatives have analyzed intelligence reports that purport to show “Russian hackers discussing how to obtain emails from Mrs. Clinton’s server and then transmit them to Mr. Flynn via an intermediary.”

The commissars of Seattle were not pleased with the report on their minimum wage impacts. It reported less low end jobs and a loss of average take home pay to the tune of 200 bucks a month due to reduced hours. That’s a big cut for people already living paycheck to paycheck.

Steve Frisch, I have a serious question for you. You make fairly regular denigrating comments about the POTUS, which is your absolute right. You appear to be an intelligent and well read person, and I am very curious as to your opinion of DJT’s opponent for President, HRC? Are you A), not aware of her well documented corruption and dishonest/illegal behavior. B) aware of her behavior but don’t really care for whatever reason you choose. Or C) so disenchanted by DJT that A and B don’t matter, you just didn’t want him to be POTUS no matter what?

On another topic Rachel Maddow rules the airwaves as most watched news show.
“One of the most significant cable news ratings stories for Q2 ’17 was the performance of The Rachel Maddow Show. Maddow finished this past quarter as the No. 1 show across all of cable news in the all-important A25-54 demographic.
Not only did Maddow deliver its largest demo audience since Q4 2008, but the show’s 2.5 million total viewer average for Q2 represents the best total audience delivery for a quarter in series history.”

Well I have not read the language of the injunction yet, only the media on the case. But in general it is of course perfect appropriate for a court to be weighing in on this even though it is challenging a law passed by the legislature and I do not consider it ‘legislating from the bench’ or an overstep of judicial authority. This is the judicial branch job.
Mu guess is the case here is the 2nd amendment case though…not the 5th amendment case…there is pretty strong precedent that taking a product off the market is not a taking.
