From the Fox News motion to dismiss.
“INTRODUCTION
Plaintiffs are the parents of Seth Rich, a Democratic National Committee (“DNC”) staffer whose murder and possible involvement in leaking DNC emails to WikiLeaks was the subject of a Fox News article published on May 16, 2017, and retracted a week later. Although the article was not about the Plaintiffs, they claim damages for intentional infliction of emotional distress.
And although the report was unquestionably a matter of legitimate public interest, they seek to hold Fox News and one of its reporters liable for tortious interference with contract based on a confidentiality provision in an agreement the Plaintiffs had with an investigator who was quoted in the article. These claims have no precedent in the common law and are incompatible with the
First Amendment right of the press to report on matters of legitimate public concern.
Plaintiffs allege that the source of their emotional distress is the publication of false and defamatory news stories about their son. But it is the law of New York and elsewhere that surviving family members have no cause of action for the libel of a deceased relative, no matter how much emotional distress they may have suffered. Plaintiffs cannot plead around that rule simply by styling their claim as one for intentional infliction of emotional distress. Nor can
Plaintiffs allege the kind of extreme or outrageous behavior that can support such a claim.
Plaintiffs’ tortious interference claim is based on the allegation that Rod Wheeler, a former homicide detective investigating Seth Rich’s murder on their behalf, breached the confidentiality clause in his contract with them when he divulged information about his investigation to Fox News
without Plaintiffs’ consent. But Plaintiffs have not sued Wheeler for this alleged breach. Nor have they alleged the elements of a claim of tortious interference against Fox News and its reporter: that the Fox News reporter intended to induce a breach of the confidentiality provision—or even that she knew Wheeler would be providing information without Plaintiffs’ consent in violation of his agreement—and that she acted “without reasonable justification” and “for the sole purpose of harming the plaintiff,” rather than reporting on an issue of legitimate public concern. Huggins v. Povich, No. 131164/94, 1996 WL 515498, at *9 (N.Y. Sup. Ct. Apr. 19, 1996). Private confidentiality provisions cannot be invoked to impose liability in such a case without violating the most fundamental rights of a free press to report on matters of legitimate public interest. For
these reasons and others elaborated below, the motion of Fox News Network, LLC, and Malia Zimmerman to dismiss for failure to state a claim should be granted with prejudice.”

“It looked like he was coming to kill me,” Burkman said. But he said a woman watching from a window of the hotel screamed. A guard came running and the SUV sped off, Burkman said.”
“Burkman said he is now traveling with security. But the experience has not soured him on conspiracy theories. His profiling project concluded that Rich was shot by a hired killer, and he wonders if Doherty was working for someone else.
He has not given up on investigating Rich’s death, whose family just sued Fox News for publishing a false story linking their son to WikiLeaks.
“This in my mind makes the whole Seth story stranger and stranger,” Burkman said.”

Now being reported……. Khomeiniist Regime tries to smuggle thousands of Dollars in cash, to Iraq to promote their favorite Iraqi puppet Iraqi Police intercept 31 boxes filled with stacks of $100 bills, smuggled from Iran, into Iraq, to be delivered to Hadi Al-Amari, head of the pro-Khomeiniist regime Badr militia and current Iraqi parliamentarian, for his re-election, ahead of the May 12th vote.
Question: Where would Iran get stacks of US $100 bills?

………….where would the Iranian piece of manure get stacks of $100 dollar bills? That is easy to figure out……remember the billions in cash which Lil Barry sent to the GOATHUMPERS? END OF STORY!!!!!!
BTW………….
…………the huge shipment of cash to Iran was US TAXPAYER FUNDS, STOLEN from Social Security, and MEDICARE.

Thanks. Exactly what I was thinking.
Now next question………
Has anyone seen John (PF) Kerry? In hiding?
Arrested? Vacation in Iran?
hapnHal……….
……………btw it is beginning to look like Californians who still have freedom of thought are beginning to hit back at MOONBEAM and all of the California LIBERAL PARTY people……several municipalities have voted to oppose the so called SANCTUARY LAW.
Had some strawberries recently that were grown in Watsonville Cal, by Giant.

How’s this????
All NEW homes built in Californisa will now be required to have solar panels at an extra upward cost of $10,000 per home. Got to cut down on our smog problems and have fresh strawberries.
hapnHal………
………..today I read that Kerry was overseas in Iran trying to do his own sort of diplomacy with the Iranians. Some of our Government people believe Kerry is violating the LOGAN ACT. Keep in mind that his daughter married a GOATHERDER.
hapnHal…………
…………….somehow I have a gut feeling that the SMOG problem in California is going to get MUCH worse now that RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA IS NOW LEGAL there…….in fact I expect to see a permanent smoke cloud over the entire state, and including Oregon and Washington state. Snoop Dog has an extremely large holding in Canopy Growth. Company which is a Canadian marijuana grower. The pot smog might include Las Vegas as well.
hapnHal……….
…………how about a dessert bowl filled with fresh strawberries, coated with chocolate flavored CBD………OHHHHHH YEAAAAH ……DOCTOR FEEL GOOD. HAR HAR The nice aspect of Dr Feel Good is that you can add octane if you choose.
hapnHal………
…………do you suppose our POTUS promised the NOKO PIMPLE HEAD a 10 year supply of marijuana? That way he won’t need a rocket……..all he will need to do is open a window and he will BECOME THE ROCKET HEADED FOR THE MOON.
“In a recent radio interview, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that the ruling Fidesz party was set to put emphasis on developing a Christian democracy in the country.
“We are working on building an old-school Christian democracy, rooted in European traditions. We believe in the importance of the nation and in Hungary, we do not want to yield ground to any supranational business or political empire,” he said.
The European Union’s most popular leader has accused a number of non-governmental structures funded by the US / Israeli billionaire George Soros of political meddling and actively supporting immigration.”
He’s the one that turned the phony dossier over to the FBI.
And he’s glad he did it.

Why Did Barack Obama & Hillary Clinton Shut Down A State Department Pedophilia Investigation?
Posted on May 9, 2018 by DCWhispers
Please note this story first broke in 2013. Within a year this same story disappeared and the same media was fawning over Hillary Clinton becoming president in 2016. The clues in the video are significant regarding the scope of the crime and the “higher up” powers involved. An Obama administration ambassador was allegedly found participating in a far-reaching pedophilia ring – and that’s where the story ends. No further disclosures. No trial. No media frenzy. No charges filed. No punishment. No justice. Nothing.
The Deep State covered it all up. The question is why. The potential answer is chilling.
(NOTE: Robert Mueller was FBI Director at the time. Yeah, let that sink in…)
McCain Sides With Democrats Urging Senate To Reject Haspel CIA Nomination

McCain is an idiot.
CW…………
…………I emphatically agree about McCain. With respect to the Dossier He says he would do it again as well. I believe that his vacation at the Hanoi Hilton effected his mind.( I am giving him the benefit of the doubt).
Check this out…this is huge!

Honor First……..
………..yes if Strassel can nail the informant……….it is GAME OVER for the bastards at the FBI who indulged themselves in illegal BS. They all need to be prosecuted, heavily fined, and given very lengthy SLAMMER VACATIONS at LEAVANWORTH.
I believe the alleged secret informant is Senator John McCain. It was he who handed the Dossier over in the first place, so this now involves him much further. If it was McCain he could face being tried for attempted extortion.
…..AND……..
…….with respect to Avenetti he could only have gotten the PRIVILEGED COHEN banking records from MUELLER. This says Avenetti is really a Mueller MOLE. The PORN STAR thing is the basis being used to mine information. He is holding PRIVILEGED INFORMATION which banks use in their accounting processes. It is illegal for Avenetti to have these records.
Well, so far I have found this. Someone is connecting the dots and has suggested The source of John Brennan’s “EC” is likely FBI and CIA operative Stefan Halper a foreign policy expert and Cambridge professor with connections to the CIA and its British counterpart, MI6.

here’s another.

Honor First……..
…………thank you much for the insight on Halper. I had heard, and read a little about him, but I am not up to speed on his recent activities. He is somebody whose activity seems to show up in a lot of places you would least expect. Probably worthy of much observation.
Did Halper, who may be a US-Brittish spy, and Misfud inject the notion into Papadop that the Russians had Hillary’s emails? And then, after Papadop told Aussie Downer ( a clintonista) what he had heard, did Downer tell Brennan ‘mission completed’, we have a Trump operative, Papadop, giving us a ‘plausible’ reason to investigate Trump’s campaign?
A setup from start to finish?
More on this possible spytrap. Including how John F’n Kerry might be involved.

Why communism is far worse than nazism.
1. The commie Marxists thought that national socialism was the proletariat working class engaging in a partnership with the bourgeoisie rich. The commies wanted the bourgeoisie rich to be destroyed, not cooperated with.
2. The commie marxists wanted their agenda to be world dominant, not just limited to one country at a time, which is the opposite of nationalism.
Therefore, communism is in reality a more extreme, destructive, and uncooperative version of national socialism.
To top it off, the commies killed over 100 million people in the 20th century to enact their agenda, far more than the nazis, proving the case.

AND YESTERDAY………
………we once again heard the shrill cacophonous mouth of Mzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Waters. She implies that she is sick of hearing the words MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. I am relatively certain she would much rather hear the expression “F—YO MA MA” from the halfwitted, unwashed pieces of manure, who hang out on street corners, peddling dope. Some of those stinking a$$ed misfits might even be relatives of hers.
AND NOW……
…..Avenatti now gets UNLIMITED AIR TIME on the LIBERAL LEFT oriented broadcasting entities. LOOK INTO HIS FACE CLOSELY………AND IF YOU HAVE EVEN HALF A BRAIN YOU WILL CLEARLY SEE “WHAT” HE REALLY IS. LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF AIR TIME HE IS GETTING CLOSELY AND IF YOU HAVE EVEN HALF A BRAIN YOU WILL SEE CLEARLY WHO HE IS. THEN LOOK CLOSELY INTO THE FACE OF THE PROSTITUTE HE REPRESENTS AND IF YOU HAVE EVEN HALF A BRAIN YOU WILL RECOGNISE HIS CHARACTER.
fhl………..
………..it has long been my belief that all humans are largely alike in all respects. Their color might be different but we are nonetheless alike. The difference in humans lies squarely in the human mind. When born on earth the infants have no understanding of human activity. As the children are reared they are TAUGHT what they should be, what they should believe, and how they should live. What a person does, or how that person behaves later in life has it’s roots in the rearing, and education of that person as a child. Whether it is COMMUNISM, NAZI, CAPITALISM, it is LEARNED. Humanity is not born with an education. So humanity teaches it’s youngsters to be followers of the political power in control of a country, but in many cases it is the so called RELIGIOUS BELIEFS which the children grow into. A religion might be based upon certain facts, or it might be a product of somebody’s religious fantasies……or even a false prophet. The common denominator is …..it is TAUGHT. Until the world observes the same exact political, and religious aspirations everywhere it is unlikely we will ever see human unity the world over. Yes it is a wonderful thought………..there would probably be no wars, or international disagreements…….everybody on earth would be living in loving harmony with each other. Perhaps this is something to consider because we all live on the same ball in space. So far as we know humanity is unique to Earth ONLY.

No more strawberries for CA Communist Assemblyman Miguel Santiago
Wonder if anyone has checked to see if he an illegal alien?
—————————————————–
The California Assembly discussed Thursday a bill that would replace Abraham Lincoln or George Washington’s birthday with International Socialist Workers’ Day as a paid holiday.
California Democrat Assemblyman Miguel Santiago introduced Bill AB-3042, which would allow schools to replace Washington Day and Lincoln Day with Presidents’ Day and install an “International Workers’ Day” — conventionally known as “May Day” — as a second holiday.
“I’m aghast that a bill like this would be able to get through committee,” California Republican Assemblyman Matthew Harper said to the Assembly. “Are we in competition to be the laughing stock of the United States?”
hapnHal……….
………WOTCHA GUNNA DO……..when the new Simbionese Liberation Army strikes California. They say it is their intention to LIBERATE California.!!!!!………..FROM WHAT?
Thank You … Mr. Wells and all of you very intelligent informative people. I have learned more of the truth today reading here about what’s going on against my governor Eric Greitens and president Trump. I am so angry right now I want to get out and pretend to be Killary’s assassinator and put my scope on some TRAITORS…. Thank You …Everyone!
Ginger…….
……….I know the frustration you are feeling well. I keep wondering when the people of America are suddenly going to have enough of the BS, and EN MASSE pick up a weapon and begin moving EAST……..but alas this is not 1776.
FURTHER……..
……….America no longer has many people who can think for themselves. Many of those who can still reason, and use simple logic are now blinded by their political, or religious faiths……..leaving only a few doddering old people like myself who still smell the stinking skunk in the woodpile. We are a fast diminishing quantity, and the less of us there are the quicker our thoughts, and voices will disappear in the wind.
Todays young people no longer have the benefit of US History. This is deliberate, so that they have no reference to the past. Our youngsters are now being taught that UP is DOWN, and that apples fall from the ground UP to the tree……..so we now have badly misinformed young people. Many graduate from college with degrees, but possess the intellectual equivalent of an eighth grader. Their brains are contained in a blackberry they purchase from a store. As a society we are in obvious decline……made that way by our allegedly SUPERIOR, AND OTHERWISE OVEREDUCATED DO GOODERS, WHO DEMAND THAT WE KISS THEIR STINKING FEET BEFORE WE ARE ALLOWED TO ADRESS THEM. SUCH PEOPLE ARE NOT SUPERIOR TO ANYBODY THEY ONLY FANCY THAT THEY ARE. IN REALITY THEIR MINDS ARE EXTREMELY WARPED, AND THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE THEIR OWN LIES. THESE ARE THE SORT OF PEOPLE WHO WERE ELECTED TO AMERICA’S HIGHEST OFFICES IN 2008. IN THE INTERIM YEARS THEY DONE NEAR CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE TO AMERICA. THE ALLEGED LEADER WASN’T EVEN A US CITIZEN. OTHERWISE HE WOULDN’T HAVE NEEDED FOREIGN STUDENT FUNDING WHICH HE RECEIVED WHEN HE ENTERED OCCIDENTAL COLLEGE. HIS REAL NAME AT PRESENT IS BARRY SOETORO WHO GREW UP IN INDONESIA……..HAS BEEN IN 57 STATES, AND IS MARRIED TO MICHAEL. NO OFFENSE INTENDED TO ANYONE,JUST STATING FACTS AS I KNOW THEM. HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!
THANK GOD …….
………..FOR JOE THE PLUMBER. SOMEHOW HE SAW THROUGH LIL BARRY IN 20 SECONDS FLAT, AND HE PROCEDED TELL SOETORO WHAT HE THOUGHT OF HIS FUNDAMENTAL HOPEY CHANGEY BS IN CRUDE LANGUAGE, IN ABOUT ANOTHER 20 SECONDS….. WHICH LIL BARRY CERTAINLY UNDERSTOOD. ALL THE HARVARD GRADUATE COULD SAY WAS “UMM,AHH, BUT,NO,YES. WOW A HARVARD GRAD WHOSE LANGUAGE ABILITY IS UP TO THREE CHARACTER,SINGLE SYLLABLE WORDS…….OBVIOUSLY PRESIDENTIAL QUALITY!!!!
AND TODAY………
……….WE ARE HEARING SNOTNOSED GOATHERDERS SCREAMING THEIR EXPLETIVES, AND VOWING TO DESTROY THE NEW COUNSULATE BUILDING IN JERUSALEM BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT…….
……….JUST HOW MUCH LEVERAGE DID THE CHINESE PRESIDENT EXERT UPON THE NOKO BLACKHEAD PIMPLE? I PERSONALLY THINK THAT IT WAS CONSIDERABLE. DURING THEIR TELEVISED WALK TOGETHER IT IS PROBABLE THAT THE CHINESE PRESIDENT SAID TO KIM “LOOK AT MY POSITION”……..I DIDN’T HAVE TO THREATEN ANYBODY TO GET WHERE I AM”…….YOU CAN DO THE SAME KIM. WE ALL KNOW THAT NEITHER SIDE WILL SURVIVE A NUCLEAR WAR. THEREFORE TRYING TO USE A NUCLEAR ARSENAL AS A BARGAINING CHIP IS NOT GOING TO WORK AGAINST A NUCLEAR POWER……..PARTICULARLY THE NUCLEAR POWER WHO HAS ALREADY USED SUCH WEAPONS IN THE PAST. I BELIEVE THAT THE CHINESE PRESIDENT ALONG WITH THE SOUTH KOREAN POTUS WAS THE PRIMARY FORCE WHICH BROUGHT KIM JONG UN INTO THE SPHERE OF REALITY. PRESIDENT TRUMP PROVIDED THE INCENTIVE VIA THE CHINESE PRESIDENT, THE SOUTH KOREAN POTUS, AND THE JAPANESE PRESIDENT ABE. I BELIEVE THAT ALL THREE WERE DEFINITE FINGERS ON THE KEYBOARD ………..SO TO SPEAK. THE NEW US SECRETARY OF STATE IS ALSO A MOVER ,AND A SHAKER. HE APPARENTLY HAS A CHARACTER WHICH KIM JONG UN ADMIRES. THERE IS A LOT ON THE TABLE, AND I PRAY THAT ALL CONCERNED WILL BENEFIT FROM THE FORTHCOMING FEAST WITH A UNITED, AND DENUCLEARISED KOREAN PENINSULA, AND AS A UNITED COUNTRY ONCE AGAIN WILL MOVE FORWARD TO EVEN GREATER IMPORTANCE. BOTH NORTH KOREA, AND SOUTH KOREA KNOW THE COST OF A NEVER ENDING WAR. WHEN NOBODY WINS THE WAR IS USELESS, AND COSTLY FOR BOTH SIDES. KEEP ON PRAYING!
Monetary policy.
They held rates at zero for eight straight years and went on the greatest monetary expansion we’ve ever seen throughout the Zero admin. The kitchen sink was thrown in to prop up the clown prince of usurpation.
Then the election happened.
I can guarantee that if their plan had come to fruition and Killary had been elected, they would’ve taken one of two routes. They either would have tightened rapidly to get the hurt out of the way in the first two years or they would’ve tried to maintain the ease until after the ’20 election. Guaranteed!
But their little plan didn’t work, so a change in tactics was called for. Every single thing we see written about the intentions of the Federal Reserve are to inflict maximum interest rate pain on the economy right before the ’20 election. This is by design, of course, and just another part of the ‘resistance’ grand plan to re-attain their evil control of power in this country.
It stands a good chance of working, too. The economy goes south in
19 and ’20 and they blame it all on Trump.
One thing could thwart them. If something else in the world tanks, like Italy or China, people will naturally assign the blame for a sinking economy to foreign sources out of Trump’s control.
There are numerous potential trouble spots in the world economy, and any one of them actually save Trump from the ‘resistance’ evil plans.
Now the NYTimes is agitating for the media to decline from reporting the truth if it came from foreign sources. i. e. Russia.
When a truth comes to light that incriminates the deep state, ‘responsible media’ should decline from reporting it because it must have been the nefarious efforts of Russia to reveal this truth.
Can you believe the lengths these leftards will go to?
