How 3 men secretly wired $88M to ‘loved ones’ in Yemen and China
Tresa Baldas Detroit Free Press Published 6:01 PM EST Feb 19, 2019 The federal government called it a scam. Three men wired $88 million overseas, prosecutors say, and tried to keep it a secret. But a defense lawyer says they weren't doing anything bad with the money: They were just sending it home to relatives, and the government knew it. "They are just creating an opportunity for their loved ones to receive money. ... In the olden days, they used to just pass it off by hand. Here, they are doing it through a wiring service," said Detroit attorney Nabih Ayad, who believes the government is being overzealous in the case. Ayad stressed the case is not about terrorism, and that the government has never suggested that the money wound up in the wrong hands. "I think it's a little bit too aggressive to bring federal charges against them," Ayad said. "In my client's case, the government had already visited his business in 2013 and never told him to stop doing it." Ayad … [Read more...] about How 3 men secretly wired $88M to ‘loved ones’ in Yemen and China
Andrew McCabe Told 60 Minutes Rod Rosenstein Was NOT Joking About Wearing a Wire With Trump
When it was first reported that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein discussed surreptitiously recording President Donald Trump amid discussions to remove him from office using the 25th Amendment, the narrative was that his comments were a joke, but a new account from former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe challenges this narrative. CBS News reporter Scott Pelley said McCabe denied the claim that Rosenstein’s wire idea was a joke during his interview on 60 Minutes. “It came up more than once and it was so serious that he took it to the lawyers at the FBI to discuss it,” Pelley said, referencing McCabe’s remarks. At the time, Rosenstein called the New York Times’s report on the 25th Amendment conversations “inaccurate and factually incorrect.” “I never pursued or authorized recording the President and any suggestion that I have ever advocated for the removal of the President … [Read more...] about Andrew McCabe Told 60 Minutes Rod Rosenstein Was NOT Joking About Wearing a Wire With Trump
Things We Saw Today: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Will Get a Sixth Season
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was by no means a sure bet for renewal at ABC, but the show squeaked by under the ax and will be returning. ABC canceled Marvel’s other show at the network, Inhumans, which surprised exactly no one (Lockjaw, we hardly knew ye), but Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. was a toss-up going into the renewal/cancellation mill. Deadline points out that although Coulson & Co. have low “live” ratings—people tuning in for appointment television—the show “is a strong DVR gainer and an even stronger international seller for ABC Studios, as well as a marketing platform for Marvel.” In short, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has a lot more fans than its surface ratings suggest, and its potential to reference and occasionally intersect with events that are happening in the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe makes the show even more precious unto Marvel. I’m glad that the Agents will have the opportunity play around … [Read more...] about Things We Saw Today: Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Will Get a Sixth Season
California to become first U.S. state mandating solar on new homes
By Jeff Collins | [email protected] | Orange County Register PUBLISHED: May 4, 2018 at 8:53 am | UPDATED: May 7, 2018 at 9:13 am For seven years, a handful of homebuilders offered solar as an optional item to buyers willing to pay extra to go green. Now, California is on the verge of making solar standard on virtually every new home built in the Golden State. The California Energy Commission is scheduled to vote Wednesday, May 9, on new energy standards mandating most new homes have solar panels starting in 2020. Workers for SunPower Corp. install solar panels on the roofs new houses at KB Home’s Terramore development in Riverside County. Solar systems like these will become standard by 2020 on virtually all new California homes under a proposed new energy code up for review in Sacramento on May 9.
