Texas becomes first state to end American Bar Association oversight of law schools

The Texas Supreme Court on Tuesday finalized a tentative opinion issued in September that no longer requires soon-to-be lawyers to attend a law school accredited by the American Bar Association. The power to approve those law schools now rests with the state's highest civil court.

“This Sept, Greene spoke with several of Epstein’s victims for the first time in a closed-door #House #Oversight Cmte meeting. She knew that the women had paid their own way to come to Washington. She saw some of them trembling & crying as they spoke. Their accounts struck her as entirely believable. Greene herself had never been sexually abused, but she knew women who had.

“We are gonna be meeting in the very near future”

Trump thinks the plan to help convicted felon Jair Bolsonaro escape from Brazil worked, and appears to tell the press that Bolsonaro is coming to the US to meet Trump.

The press then informs him that Bolsonaro was caught trying to escape, to which Trump replies, “Is that what happened? It’s too bad.”

One thing is obvious: The total #loss of #oversight .

So, no change!

Important people do not need knowledge or oversight.

…The Wall Street Journal reported this week that some #FannieMae #ethics & #oversight officials who were fired last month had been investigating whether #BillPulte improperly obtained #mortgage information for #LetitiaJames, who was charged last month with bank fraud after Pulte sent a criminal referral to the #DOJ. She said the charges, which she denies, are politically motivated.

“I have been thinking about that,” Maxwell wrote back.

In an email from January 2019, #Epstein wrote to Wolff of #Trump: “Of course he knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop.” #House #Democrats, citing an unnamed whistle-blower, said this week that Maxwell was preparing to formally ask Trump to commute her federal prison sentence.

The emails were provided to the #Oversight Cmte along with a larger tranche of documents from Epstein’s estate that the panel requested as part of its investigation into Epstein & Maxwell, who is serving a 20yr sentence for #SexTrafficking.

The cmte’s staff redacted victims’ names & any identifying information from the emails. Because the full set of documents has not been released, it was not clear whether the emails were excerpts from larger conversations with fuller context.

The messages are certain to inflame the debate on Capitol Hill over the #Trump admin’s handling of the #EpsteinFiles, & top ofcls’ decision to backtrack on a promise to fully release them. That issue, which has split #Republicans & alienated some of Trump’s right-wing supporters, had faded to the background as the govt #shutdown dragged on.

But the #House is set to return Wednesday to clear legislation to end the shutdown, & attention is likely to shift back to the #Epstein matter.

“These latest emails & correspondence raise glaring questions about what else the White House is hiding & the nature of the relationship between #Epstein & the president,” Rep Robert Garcia of California, the top #Democrat on the #Oversight Cmte, said in a statement.

The 3 separate email exchanges released on Wednesday were all from after Epstein’s 2008 plea deal in Florida on state charges of soliciting prostitution, in which federal prosecutors agreed not to pursue charges.

#JeffreyEpstein Alleged in Emails That #Trump Knew of His Conduct

#House #Democrats on Wednesday released emails in which #Epstein wrote that Trump had “spent hours at my house” with one of Epstein’s victims, among other messages that suggested that the convicted sex offender believed Trump knew far more about his abuse than he has acknowledged.

… #Democrats on the #House #Oversight Cmte said the emails, which they selected from thousands of pages of documents received by their panel, raised new questions about the relationship between the 2 men. In one of the messages, #Epstein flatly asserted that #Trump “knew about the girls,” many of whom were later found by investigators to have been underage. In another, Epstein pondered how to address questions from the news media about their relationship as Trump was becoming a political figure.

In Democratic ranking member Rep Robert Garcia’s statement on the #BillBarr closed-door deposition to the #House#Oversight Cmte re the #EpsteinFiles he states, “…to be clear, yesterday, during his deposition with the Committee, Attorney General Barr could not clear President #Trump of wrongdoing. Chairman Comer should release the full unedited transcript of his interview for the public.”

#law#JeffreyEpstein#CoverUp#ChildSexualAbuse#SexTrafficking#SexualAbuse#Rape#ViolenceAgainstWomen

RANKING MEMBER ROBERT GARCIA - Releasing the Epstein files in batches just continues this White House cover-up. The American people will not accept anything short of the full, unredacted Epstein files. In a bipartisan vote, the Committee demanded complete compliance with our subpoena. Handpicked, partial productions are wholly insufficient and potentially misleading, especially after Attorney General Bondi bragged about having the entirety of the Epstein files on her desk mere months ago. And to be clear, yesterday, during his deposition with the Committee, Attorney General Barr could not clear President Trump of wrongdoing. Chairman Comer should release the full unedited transcript of his interview for the public. We will keep pressing until the American people get the truth - every document, every fact, in full. The administration must comply with our subpoena, by law.

…#Musk held forth on the patio on a variety of topics: his visit to the US–Mexico border; the war in Ukraine; his frustrations w/govt #regulations hindering his rocket company, #SpaceX; & Ramaswamy’s highest priority, the dismantling of the #FederalBureaucracy.

Musk made clear that he saw the gutting of that bureaucracy as primarily a #technology challenge. He told the party of around 20 that when he overhauled Twitter,…the key was gaining access to the…servers.

Wouldn’t it be great, #Musk offered, if he had #access to the #computers of the #FederalGovernment?

Just give him the passwords, he said jocularly, & he would make the govt fit & trim.

What started as musings at a dinner party evolved into a #radical takeover of the #FederalBureaucracy. It was driven with a frenetic focus by Musk, who channeled his #libertarian impulses & resentment of #regulatory #oversight of his vast #business holdings into a singular position of #influence.
