MSNBC legal analyst explains how Mueller will eventually bag Trump
Raw Story
November 21, 2018
A former top law enforcement official explained that President Donald Trump could stall the special counsel probe from the White House - but he couldn't outrun Robert Mueller forever.
Chuck Rosenberg, a former U.S. Attorney and head of the Drug Enforcement Agency, told MSNBC that Mueller would eventually get his way if he wanted to force Trump to testify.
"Normally the person who is being questioned - target, subject, defendant - does not determine what is and what is not a legitimate line of questioning," Rosenberg said.
"That's just crazy."
"So if this thing has to be litigated - for instance, if Bob Mueller decides he needs the president's testimony on the obstruction issue and wants to push that issue," he added, "it'll be decided by a court, not by a White House counsel, not by Mr. Trump's personal lawyers..It'll be decided by a court..By the way, for what it's worth, I think the court precedents line up nicely for the prosecutors in this."
Rosenberg and others have speculated that a sealed case involving Mueller might be litigation to resolve a possible presidential subpoena - but he said Trump could face legal jeopardy even if he's protected by the office he currently holds.

Trump's proposed 2018 budget cut millions from DOI's Wildland Fire Management program

The following is taken from a 2017 article titled:
"How Fire Departments can Circumvent Proposed Fire Budget Cuts for Fiscal Year 2018"
Under the heading:
"Effects of Reduced Fire Budget On Department Of Interior"
The 2018 budget request for the DOI's (Dept. of Interior's) discretionary Department-wide Wildland Fire Management program is $873.5 million.
This is a decrease of $118.3 million, or 12 percent from fiscal year 2017.
It would mean a reduction in Full Time Equivalent employees (FTE) from 3,586 to 3,401, or 5 percent.
Moreover, the DOI's contribution to the joint Fire Science Program, a program designed to fund scientific research on wildland fires, would be cut in half, totaling $3 million annually.
[snip]
Roxanne Warneke-Preston, whose late husband was a wildland firefighter killed in the line of duty in 2013 wrote:
"I worry about the fate of so many others if the federal government cuts $118 million for fire suppression and firefighting, because this funding is vital to protect communities surrounded by wildland areas."
NOTE:
Paradise, California, which is ground zero for the devastating "Camp" fire, is a "community surrounded by wildland areas"

Florida Senate Race Heads to a Hand Recount
The Hill
November 15, 2018
5:09 PM EST
The Florida Senate race between Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) and Gov. Rick Scott (R) is heading to a hand recount after the latest round of machine tallies showed the two candidates still neck and neck.
Nelson and Scott were separated by a margin of about 0.15 percentage points, according to results of a machine recount released Thursday - a narrow enough margin to trigger a hand recount under state law.
The hand recount must be completed by Sunday, in time for a Nov. 20 deadline for state officials to certify the final election results.
A manual recount does not mean that every ballot is counted by hand.
Instead, local election officials will sort through so-called overvotes and undervotes - ballots on which voters marked either more or fewer than the maximum number of selections allowed
