Nah, he's just heading off a potential appeal later.
The last line in the article...

Barr says that he used to work for one of the law firms representing Epstein "long ago,"
though he did not name the firm.


With Barr recused that kinda gives Dems carte blanche to do any crap they want and with Comeys kid in the mix that is not a good thing.

Now there is a surprise...the daughter of one of the elite of the Chilean Socialist goverment doesn't like America...well no prob dear.... we can ship the scum to Chile and you can show us racist Yanquis how it' s supposed to be done. although I suspect the criminal aliens in those detention center are living better than a significant part of the Chilean population...
Pulse, buddy: You might wanna read up on the current government of Chile. It's not quite Pinochet anymore, but it's not "socialist" either. Then take a look at some pictures of the people in power in Chile. Hint: They're all almost all pretty dang white. Lastly, Chile is one the few "high income economies" (as defined by the World Bank) in the western hemisphere south of the US/Mexico border.

I saw him on fox a bit ago, and he apparently thinks he'll get reelected to congress.
Can't imagine anyone wanting to vote for an unlikable POS like Swalwell. Privileged jackass. If he didn't have the CIA fixing the ballot, he would never win an office.

For congress he only has to hope all his supporters are still fuckin morons so they can vote for him. Nationwide is a bit beyond his grasp.

You may wanna read up on who Michelle Bachelete is... " the government of Salvador Allende placed Bachelet's father in charge of the Food Distribution Office."... Bachelete is also a member of the Socialist Party of Chile.....I was not making a comment on the present goverment of Chile I was making a comment on the tired old worn out anti-American claptrap of a promeninet Chilean socialist. I know a bit about Chile my sister spent a great deal of time there and was attempting to immigrate to Chile....Oh and the ruling class of Latin America has always been Hidalgos....including Che and all the other Socialists./communists...nothing new there.

He's got a San Francisco Bay area district. I don't think more needs to be said.
Obviously the trick to it is to send out conservatives to get the vote from every ittinerant/vagrant/illegal/d*per/psycho, etc.

Of course, they might need to rumble with the leftists doing the same.

a little insight into the kind of company and values Nike's virtue signaling ass is all about. as for Google they are Satan's lapdog.


Nike has contracted with more than 700 shops around the world and has offices located in 45 countries outside the United States.[85] Most of the factories are located in Asia, including Indonesia, China, Taiwan, India,[86] Thailand, Vietnam, Pakistan, Philippines, and Malaysia.[87] Nike is hesitant to disclose information about the contract companies it works with. However, due to harsh criticism from some organizations like CorpWatch, Nike has disclosed information about its contract factories in its Corporate Governance Report.

Sweatshops
Main article: Nike sweatshops
Nike has been criticized for contracting with factories (known as Nike sweatshops) in countries such as China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Mexico. Vietnam Labor Watch, an activist group, has documented that factories contracted by Nike have violated minimum wage and overtime laws in Vietnam as late as 1996, although Nike claims that this practice has been stopped.[88] The company has been subject to much critical coverage of the often poor working conditions and exploitation of cheap overseas labor employed in the free trade zones where their goods are typically manufactured. Sources for this criticism include Naomi Klein's book No Logo and Michael Moore documentaries.

Campaigns have been taken up by many colleges and universities, especially anti-globalisation groups, as well as several anti-sweatshop groups such as the United Students Against Sweatshops.[89]

As of July 2011, Nike stated that two-thirds of its factories producing Converse products still do not meet the company's standards for worker treatment. A July 2011 Associated Press article stated that employees at the company's plants in Indonesia reported constant abuse from supervisors.[90]

Child labor allegations
During the 1990s, Nike faced criticism for the use of child labor in Cambodia and Pakistan in factories it contracted to manufacture soccer balls. Although Nike took action to curb or at least reduce the practice, they continue to contract their production to companies that operate in areas where inadequate regulation and monitoring make it hard to ensure that child labor is not being used.[91]

In 2001, a BBC documentary uncovered occurrences of child labor and poor working conditions in a Cambodian factory used by Nike.[92] The documentary focused on six girls, who all worked seven days a week, often 16 hours a day.

Strike in China factory
In April 2014, one of the biggest strikes in mainland China took place at the Yue Yuen Industrial Holdings Dongguan shoe factory, producing amongst others for Nike. Yue Yuen did underpay an employee by 250 yuan (40.82 US Dollars) per month. The average salary at Yue Yuen is 3000 yuan per month. The factory employs 70,000 people. This practice was in place for nearly 20 years.[93][94][95]

Paradise Papers
Main article: Paradise Papers
On 5 November 2017, the Paradise Papers, a set of confidential electronic documents relating to offshore investment, revealed that Nike is among the corporations that used offshore companies to avoid taxes.[96][97][98]

Appleby documents detail how Nike boosted its after-tax profits by, among other maneuvers, transferring ownership of its Swoosh trademark to a Bermudan subsidiary, Nike International Ltd. This transfer allowed the subsidiary to charge royalties to its European headquarters in Hilversum, Netherlands, effectively converting taxable company profits to an account payable in tax-free Bermuda.[99] Although the subsidiary was effectively run by executives at Nike's main offices in Beaverton, Oregon—to the point where a duplicate of the Bermudan company's seal was needed—for tax purposes the subsidiary was treated as Bermuda. Its profits were not declared in Europe and came to light only because of a mostly unrelated case in US Tax Court, where papers filed by Nike briefly mention royalties in 2010, 2011 and 2012 totaling $3.86 billion.[99] Under an arrangement with Dutch authorities, the tax break was to expire in 2014, so another reorganization transferred the intellectual property from the Bermudan company to a Dutch commanditaire vennootschap or limited partnership, Nike Innovate CV. Dutch law treats income earned by a CV as if it had been earned by the principals, who owe no tax in the Netherlands if they do not reside there.[99]

I hate to say this but the Judge's decision is the Constitutionally correct one. It was regulatory over-reach; HHS promulgating a rule that was not authorized by statute.

Sometimes sticking to the law of the land restricts government from doing things that would be good to get done.

I agree over reach is never a good thing yet where is the line? We all know the drug companies been playing games to take as much as possible from people. They been caught red handed many times and even with laws against it, they still do it and fork over a few millions, even go to jail yet it still continues. So where is the line where a consumer can be protected and cant be protected.

When the Scotus took it upon themselves to declare Obamacare a tax in order to make it constitutional even thou it clearly isnt, now thats over reach. Yet is forcing the drug manufacture to let the consumer know what the base price is after being found guilty of a history of gouging and illicit practices is also over reach? Thats debatable.
