PP: And may I ask you you know that I was the main iniatior of the Ukraine joining to NATO what does your inner circle—
HRC: Yes, I remember
PP: I put it in the constitution of Ukraine, a special article.
HRC: Yes, I rember that, yes.
PP: What does your inner circle—
HRC: Look, I think that—we are working vey hard to persuade the Germans and the Americans to move on this. I don't know what the final decision will be, but, you know, as you say, Rasmussen and Yermak and others are working very hard.
[...]
PP: I think that dictators didn't learn their lesson after Gaddafi.
HRC: Ah, interesting. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's true.
PP: As I mentioned, the main threat is Trump. The main threat is Trump, because he will ask for money back. It will be disaster. After all, he wants to end the conflict on Russia terms, and if you remember, when I was president we were looking for his connections with Russia. But when Trump became president, they just started interfering with me. Tehy were already looking for any compromising evidencee for President Biden on Burisma and even on you, and his administration were asking me, can you help on this.
HRC: I know. He's a very bad guy. I know personally from having to run against him. He's a very, very bad guy. But Petro, let's take one step at a time. Let's get this material. Let's get it to your soldiers. Let's try to get some of the Russian frozen assets. Let's work on NATO. You know, if the worst thing happens, if Trump were to win, we will all have to figure out what to do. But I don't think it's going to happen. I really don't think it's going to happen.
PP: Yeah, I think that we can request a hearing in the parliament to find something on him before the election. I think that—he has problems in the court. This is because of that um mutiny that was made in 2020. I think that we can attack him from different sides before the election.
HRC: Good. Well, anything you could do to attack him, I'm all for it, because he's a very dangerous man.
PP: Yeah, I can send my people in the US from the embassy

Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump backfire | Politico - 11 Jan 2017 |
Ukrainian government officials tried to help Hillary Clinton and undermine Trump by publicly questioning his fitness for office. They also disseminated documents implicating a top Trump aide in corruption and suggested they were investigating the matter, only to back away after the election. And they helped Clinton's allies research damaging information on Trump and his advisers.

Merkel, who has served as an election observer in Ukrainian presidential elections dating back to 1993, noted there's some irony in Ukraine and Russia taking opposite sides in the 2016 presidential race, given that past Ukrainian elections were widely viewed in Washington's foreign policy community as proxy wars between the U.S. and Russia.
"Now, it seems that a U.S. election may have been seen as a surrogate battle by those in Kiev and Moscow," Merkel said.

US v. Daniels, SCOTUS 2 Jul 2024 order (p2 remand to 5th Cir)

FYI. Daniels, driving while invisibly black, actually has already served 19 mo/4 Mississippi years. There was no SCOTUS hearing for Daniels, no opinion relating to the order in his case to remand, or per curiam advisory. Ironically, MSM quotes, attributed to uhh certain SCOTUS justices, refer to "originalist" quibbling about the applicability of NY State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen (2021) ruling to US v. Rahimi (June 2024) which upheld a NEW! gun restriction...inna NRA v. Vullo "era"

ChatGPT | Supreme Court dodges new fights over gun rights, textualist originalist haters

The court declined to hear a set of cases challenging Illinois' ban on certain semi-automatic rifles and high-capacity magazines. The court also said it would not take up several challenges to a federal law barring people with felony convictions from having guns.
In 2022, the court DRAMATICALLY EXPANDED [nope] Second Amendment rights by declaring in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen that modern gun restrictions must adhere to historical practices < wipes tears >. Then, last month, in United States v. Rahimi, the court seemed to back away from the most EXTREME CONSEQUENCES of that dread history-based test: It upheld a federal law banning alleged domestic abusers from having firearms. But the constitutionality of many other gun laws remains in doubt in light of the Bruen ruling, with lower courts divided on how to apply the history-based test....

Press Briefing by Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and National Security Kirby content (08.07.24)
KIRBY: ...And then on Thursday afternoon, there'll be a meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council, after which the president will host an event with President Zelensk* and nearly two dozen of our allies and partners who have signed bilateral security agreements with Ukraine, just as the president did, as you saw, in Italy a week or so ago. After that, the president will hold a press conference—I guess a "big boy" press conference—
JEAN-PIERRE: Yes.
KIRBY: —is what we're calling it—and take some questions from y'all.
