SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT:

THE CURSE – OVERNIGHT – FROM THE NEW YORK POST:   Left-wing billionaire George Soros has pumped more than $500,000 into the New York City college that serves as a breeding ground for woke district attorneys.  The Dem donor’s charities have funded research and financed programs and a workshop at CUNY’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan, according to public records reviewed by The Post.  Tom Anderson, director of the Government Integrity Project at the National Legal and Policy Center in Virginia, said Soros’s team uses cash to throw money into institutions “and make a massive impact that no one realizes that they’re making.”  John Jay, a traditional training school for cops, is home to the Institute for Innovation in Prosecution, which pushes the controversial progressive ideas adhered to by Democratic district attorneys such as Manhattan’s Alvin Bragg, Chicago’s Kim Foxx and Los Angeles’s George Gascon, who have pushed for lighter sentences or the downgrading of serious criminal charges even as crime soars.  This story should be publicized and the money returned.  It's like injecting poison into the veins of a child.  John Jay teaches cops, and yet accepts funds from a man who wants to gut police forces.

WILL DEMS SUPPORT HILLARY? – OVERNIGHT:  New revelations about possibly improper or illegal behavior by Hillary Clinton raise questions as to whether her own party will support if should she run for president in 2024.  From the New York Post: 

A surprisingly large share of Democrats wants to see Hillary Clinton investigated over her possible role in manufacturing dirt to try to tie Donald Trump to the Kremlin, a new poll shows.

The survey, conducted by TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics in New Jersey last month, polled 1,308 Americans about the mushrooming investigation by Special Counsel John Durham into the FBI’s probe of Trump’s alleged links to Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Nearly three out of four of those polled who are following the story said they think it’s important prosecutors investigate Clinton for her role in the Russiagate scandal along with her top campaign advisers.

That includes two-thirds — or 66 percent — of the Democrats polled who said they have been keeping up with the case.

That’s up 20 points from this past October, when TIPP asked the same question of a national panel, and indicates the Durham probe may be turning Democratic opinion regarding Clinton and the controversy.

Meanwhile, 91 percent of Republicans in the same group and 65 percent of Independents also called for Clinton to specifically be investigated.

Some 66% of Democrats wants to see Hillary Clinton investigated over her possible role in manufacturing dirt to try to tie Donald Trump to the Kremlin.

Durham has already charged Clinton campaign subcontractor Igor Danchenko for allegedly lying about the sourcing behind the debunked so-called Steele dossier he helped compile, which attempted to frame Trump as a Kremlin agent.

COMMENT:  Poor Hillary.  Just as she's measuring her head for a new crown, the sheriff rides into town.  Will they ever leave Bill's little princess alone? 

But, on a more basic note, she has to be the obvious alternative in 2024 if she expects the nomination.  The numbers cited in the story show that winning that designation may not be as easy as she'd thought.

SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT: 

TODAY GERMANY, TOMORROW THE WORLD – OVERNIGHT:  Well, it sounds like that anyway.  AOC, or, as we call her here, Little Evita from the Bronx, is on one of her fantasy tours.  From Fox:   Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., told a Texas crowd Saturday that it is inevitable that Texas will turn blue as she endorsed two candidates for Congress prior to the primary next month.  Ocasio-Cortez, who has had mixed results when endorsing candidates, was in San Antonio to support the campaigns of Jessica Cisneros and Greg Casar. MySanAntonio.com reported that Ocasio-Cortez told the crowd that the two have her backing because they back Medicare for all, unions and reproductive freedom.  "Here’s what’s exciting about Jessica’s race and Greg’s race…is that if we flip Texas, we flip the country. She continued, "Texas turning blue is inevitable. The only question is when. We are going to fight for a living wage, we are going to make sure we unionize the hell out of this state…and we’re going to make sure that not one dime is made exploitatively across any worker, especially the undocumented."  Ocasio-Cortez did not immediately respond to an after-hours email from Fox News.  The New York representative is not the first politician to imagine a world where the Republican Party loses Texas’s crucial 38 electoral college votes, which is a nightmare for the party. In September 2019, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said the state would be close in the 2020 presidential election. (Former President Trump carried the state, winning 52.1% to President Biden’s 46.5%).  No doubt Texas is competitive, but AOC seems not to have noticed a recent yet powerful trend – the movement of Hispanics to the right.  Let her learn about it on election day.

JUST WHEN SHE THOUGHT WE'D FORGOTTEN WHO SHE REALLY IS – OVERNIGHT:  Hillary Clinton wants to be president.  She knows she can make it this next time.  Smile more.  Say nice things about Midwestern women.  Demonstrate some knowledge of how cars are made. 

But, gosh darn, things just get in her way, and they come out at the most inconvenient times.  Not her fault of course.  It's all those Republican woman haters out there.  From the New York Post:

Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign paid an internet company to “infiltrate” servers at Trump Tower and the White House in order to link Donald Trump to Russia, a bombshell new legal filing alleges.

The Friday filing from a Department of Justice prosecutor tasked with investigating the origins of the FBI’s Russian probe served to throw cold water on Democrats’ longstanding allegations of collusion.

Special Counsel John Durham filed a motion related to potential conflicts of interests in connection with the case of Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussman, who is charged with lying to the feds, according to Fox News.

Sussman allegedly told the FBI he was not working on behalf of Clinton when he presented the agency with documents that supposedly linked the Trump Organization to a Kremlin-tied bank two months before the election.

The lawyer has pleaded not guilty to the charge of making a false statement to a federal agent.

Durham’s motion reportedly alleged Sussman “had assembled and conveyed the allegations to the FBI on behalf of at least two specific clients, including a technology executive (Tech Executive 1) at a U.S.-based internet company (Internet Company 1) and the Clinton campaign.”

Special Counsel John Durham’s filing alleges the Clinton campaign targeted servers in Trump Tower and the White House.

Records showed he “repeatedly billed the Clinton Campaign for his work on the Russian Bank-1 allegations,” which involved an investigative firm, a tech executive, cyber researchers and numerous employees at internet companies, the motion reportedly stated. 

COMMENT:  Of course, our Hillary knew nothing about this.  Her integrity is beyond reproach.  I mean, is there anyone more honest than Hillary Clinton?  You don't have to answer.

Let's see how the mainstream media goes to bat for her this time.
