WASHINGTON WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange plans to plead guilty as part of a plea deal with the U.S. Justice Department that will allow him to go free after spending five years in a British prison, according to court documents.
Assange was charged by criminal information which typically signifies a plea deal with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense information, the court documents say.

Source: Politico
The Jan. 6 select committee says four House Republicans including Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy violated congressional ethics rules by defying subpoenas for testimony and documents.
The panel referred the lawmakers for a review by the bipartisan ethics committee, which is seen as unlikely to take action against the members. In addition to McCarthy, three other lawmakers were referred for defying subpoenas: Reps. Scott Perry (R-Pa.), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.).

Donald Trump: Malignant Narcissist, Criminal Grifter, Seditionist
4. COMMITTEE WILL REFER DONALD TRUMP FOR INCITEMENT OF INSURRECTION
1. Committee referring Trump for knowingly and willfully making false statements
2. Committee will issue criminal referrals for Trump, Eastman, others for defrauding U.S.
3. Committee will refer Trump and Eastman for obstructing an official proceeding
REMINDER: This below is who Donald Trump is. Hes a textbook case. It explains every action on a personal level and in his capacity as President. It explains why he is a lifelong grifter. It explains why he is enamored of authoritarians, and uses the mob tactics of his mentor, Roy Cohn. It explains why he engages in criminal behavior:
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5, 2013) indicates that a person with NPD possesses at least five of the following nine criteria, typically without possessing the commensurate personal qualities or accomplishments for which they demand respect and status:
* Grandiosity with expectations of superior treatment from other people
* Continually demeaning, bullying and belittling others
* Exploiting others to achieve personal gain
* Lack of empathy for the negative impact they have on the feelings, wishes, and needs of other people
* Fixation on fantasies of power, success, intelligence, attractiveness, etc.
* Self-perception of being unique, superior, and associated with high-status people and institutions
* Need for continual admiration from others
* Sense of entitlement to special treatment and to obedience from others
* Intense envy of others, and the belief that others are equally envious of them[7][10]
They spend much time thinking about achieving power and success, or on their appearance.[3] Typically, they also take advantage of the people around them.
People with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) are characterized by the personality traits of persistent grandiosity, an excessive need for admiration, and a personal disdain and lack of empathy for other people. As such, the person with NPD usually displays arrogance and a distorted sense of personal superiority, and seeks to establish abusive power and control over others.
Self-confidence (a strong sense of self) is a personality trait different from the traits of narcissistic personality disorder; thus, people with NPD typically value themselves over others, to the extent of openly disregarding the wishes and feelings of anyone else, and expect to be treated as superior, regardless of their actual status or achievements.
Socially, the person with narcissistic personality disorder usually exhibits a fragile ego (self-concept), intolerance of criticism, and a tendency to belittle other people, in order to validate his or her own superiority.
Among the variants of narcissism, however, malignant narcissists are by far the most damaging. Beyond merely wanting to focus primarily on themselves and be held in overly high regard by virtually everyone in their lives, they tend to have a darker side to their self-absorption. This subset contains the general traits of NPD including the regular egocentricity, but also some antisocial traits and even a sadistic streak in addition to a poor sense of self and lack of empathy. In fact, some experts see little difference between malignant narcissists and psychopaths in that both have a sadistic, antisocial streak, and very little empathy. There is often some paranoia involved with malignant narcissism as well."

Swedish prosecutors drop Julian Assange rape investigation
Swedens director of public prosecution, Marianne Ny, says she has decided to discontinue the investigation into WikiLeaks founder
Press Association and Reuters
Friday 19 May 2017 05.14 EDT
Swedish prosecutors said on Friday they would drop a preliminary investigation into an allegation of rape against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Friday, bringing to an end a seven-year legal standoff.
Chief Prosecutor Marianne Ny has today decided to discontinue the preliminary investigation regarding suspected rape concerning Julian Assange, the prosecutors office said in a statement.
Assange, 45, has lived in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London since 2012, after taking refuge there to avoid extradition to Sweden over the allegation of rape, which he denies.

Anything we can do about this? Wyoming DUers?
http://trib.com/news/local/casper/vietnam-vet-with-no-known-family-to-be-buried-in/article_97da23eb-9813-5ace-a186-056bc16b22be.htmlVietnam vet no known family to be buried in Casper; coroner hopes people will attend his funeral
- snip -
But thats about all Natrona County Coroner Connie Jacobson knows for certain about Stephen Carl Reiman, a 63-year-old homeless Navy veteran who died Thursday at Wyoming Medical Center. Her office has looked for a friend or a family member to claim Reiman. They havent found anyone.
The other thing Jacobson knows is that Reiman needs to be buried with respect. And that he shouldnt be alone.
- snip -
Reiman came to Wyoming from a Southern California community for homeless veterans. He served in the Navy from 1971 to 1975, his last post aboard the U.S.S. Long Beach. Reiman had previously told a VA doctor that he had struggled with PTSD, depression and alcoholism, Jacobson said. Those symptoms worsened when Reimans only son died in combat in Iraq, Jacobson said, and Reiman became incapable of working. He depended on the VA for housing, income and health care.
Its not clear why Reiman traveled the 1,250 miles to Sheridan with just one backpack full of Bruce Springsteen CDs, a laptop, an iPod, two identification cards, a copy of his birth certificate and his Navy discharge papers. He also had Springsteens memoir, Born to Run, in his pack, his most recent page marked with the books dust cover.
- snip -
A funeral with military honors will be held for Reiman at 10 a.m. Nov. 29 at the Oregon Trail State Veterans Cemetery in Evansville. Every year, the cemetery hosts a handful of funerals for veterans whom nobody claimed as family, the cemeterys interim director said.

Donald Trumps Companies Destroyed Emails in Defiance of Court Orders

COVER STORY
Donald Trump has a long, troubling history of destroying and hiding important documents in lawsuits, but he thinks Hillary Clintons the one who should be going to jail
Over the course of decades, Donald Trumps companies have systematically destroyed or hidden thousands of emails, digital records and paper documents demanded in official proceedings, often in defiance of court orders. These tacticsexposed by a Newsweek review of thousands of pages of court filings, judicial orders and affidavits from an array of court caseshave enraged judges, prosecutors, opposing lawyers and the many ordinary citizens entangled in litigation with Trump. In each instance, Trump and entities he controlled also erected numerous hurdles that made lawsuits drag on for years, forcing courtroom opponents to spend huge sums of money in legal fees as they struggledsometimes in vainto obtain records.
This behavior is of particular import given Trumps frequent condemnations of Hillary Clinton, his Democratic opponent, for having deleted more than 30,000 emails from a server she used during her time as secretary of state. While Clinton and her lawyers have said all of those emails were personal, Trump has suggested repeatedly on the campaign trail that they were government documents Clinton was trying to hide and that destroying them constituted a crime. The allegationwhich the FBI concluded was not supported by any evidenceis a crowd-pleaser at Trump rallies, often greeted by supporters chanting, Lock her up!
