The feds let a guy go who sold illegal guns to felons not allowed to own them, because the gun law they would have used to convict him does not apply to the one part of the illegal guns they would have used to nail him.

So, to prevent a precedent, they let him go.

We need better gun laws.

Notable and Quotable.

Valentyn Nalyvaichenko, member of the Ukrainian parliament and former head of the country’s security service.

Serious allegations have been made in the U.S. and Ukraine, including that Ukrainian government officials and organizations assisted Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016 and that Burisma, a major Ukrainian gas company, hired Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son, for cynical purposes. Regardless of the implications of these charges within American politics, Ukraine has a responsibility to investigate them completely and transparently.
First, as I have insisted for more than two years, we must resolve the allegation that Ukrainian officials interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. If we find that Ukrainian laws were broken, the perpetrators here must be prosecuted swiftly, to the fullest extent of the law.

Second, Ukraine must resolve the allegations regarding Burisma. As the former head of the Security Service of Ukraine, our version of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, I know there are many accusations of corruption against this company

The timing is coincidental (as was Smith's Fox resignation and the Barr meeting w/Murdoch), but nonetheless adds to a pretty busy WH news day.

A source familiar with McAleenan's thinking tells CNN that the acting secretary felt he had accomplished all he could given the political realities of today -- specifically the unlikelihood that any legislative deal on immigration will happen in an election year. Moreover, with the numbers of undocumented immigrants apprehended or turned away at the border coming down for the fourth consecutive month -- 52,546 in September, a 65% drop from May -- the lack of crisis is dissuading members of Congress to act and compromise. McAleenan also has two young daughters and a wife with whom he wants to spend more time.

The announcement has been planned for weeks, sources close to McAleenan say, and has nothing to do with the Ukraine scandal in which Trump and several other Cabinet officials are currently enmeshed.

A source close to the process told CNN that White House officials tried to talk McAleenan out of resigning.
...
In an interview with The Washington Post published on October 1, McAleenan -- whom Trump never formally nominated for the Cabinet position -- said that while he controls his department, "What I don't have control over is the tone, the message, the public face and approach of the department in an increasingly polarized time. That's uncomfortable, as the accountable, senior figure."

Three federal courts, three judges ruling against the administration's effort to restrict green cards by changing a rule unilaterally.

Thank you for making the point all over again, Kid.

Trump pressured foreign governments to go after a political rival for political purposes.

It's illegal.

Why are you supporting the practice of inviting foreign interference in the elections?!

Being had, Kid now feels the need to put out because he’s been turned out. A large number of trumpists facing the same predicament have chosen to react in similar ways. It has something to do with how they became trumpists in the first place.

Better gun laws are in our future.

Not enough money in the world to do your kind of protection, Bambi.

And you would have a police state little, if any, better than what you are ostensibly trying to protect against.
