Judge Calls Muller's Team Liars:  During a hearing today, involving the 18 count indictment against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, a U.S. District Judge gave the Justice Department two weeks to turn over an unredacted copy of the "scope memo" which authorized Special Counsel Robert Mueller to investigate Russian collusion.  Jake Gibson of Fox News reports that the hearing was held to consider Muller's petition to quash the indictment.  When Judge T.S. Ellis asked Muller's lawyers where they got the authority to indict Manafort, they said that the authority was laid out in documents including the "scope memo" which they did not present as evidence because of national security concerns.  The judge summed up the Special Counsel's argument as, "We said this was what (the) investigation was about, but we are not bound by it and we were lying."  Congress has been trying to get the same "scope memo" for several months in order to determine how much authority it gives to Muller.   

Soros Dumps $$ Into Sacramento DA's Race:  A PAC controlled by progressive billionaire George Soros is funding the campaign of a deputy district attorney running to unseat Sacramento District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert.  Candidate Noah Phillips points to the fatal shooting of habitual criminal Stephon Clark last March as evidence that Schubert, along with the rest of Sacramento County law enforcement, is racially biased against people of color.  Newsman Mike Luery of KCRA reports that money from Soros is financing Phillips campaign and is paying for a barrage of television commercials parroting the familiar narrative that tells is "We need to end racial profiling and police misconduct. And right now the system is broken."   In 2016 Schubert put together a statewide law enforcement task force to track down the notorious "Golden State Killer," known here in Sacramento as the "East Area Rapist." Last week the 72-year-old suspect, identified by DNA evidence, was arrested in a Sacramento suburb.  Soros is also bankrolling the progressive candidate in the San Diego District Attorneys race as reported by Allison Ash of KGTV.
