Michigan Democrats hoping for pink and blue wave in November - Business Insider Deutschland

The nominations of Whitmer, a former legislative leader who will face Republican state Attorney General Bill Schuette, and Laura Kelly of Kansas brought the number of female gubernatorial nominees this year to 11, breaking the previous record of 10, according to the Gender Watch 2018, a project of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University and the Barbara Lee Family Foundation. The number of female House nominees is at least 185 nationwide, which is also a record.

The number of women in Michigan's 14-member House delegation will at least double, to four, because of the primary results. It could triple, to six, if the Democrats can pick up Republican-leaning seats in November. As a sitting president, Trump is highly unlikely to be indicted, whatever the special counsel finds. It will be up to Congress to act in response to Mueller's findings, porno or not. And so the president's fate is a political question, and he has set about ensuring his base deems any claims from Mueller to be the result of a "witch hunt.

" The payments to Essential Consultants LLC — one of which Avenatti suggests may have been made to reimburse Cohen for the Daniels payoff — had been on Mueller's radar since late last year, as Novartis, a pharmaceutical company that paid the LLC, said it was questioned by the special counsel about the payments then. The company said it believed its involvement in Mueller's investigation was wrapped up.

Pointing to the Columbus Nova payment, Roland Riopelle, a former assistant US attorney for the Southern District of New York, said the Russian oligarch connected to the firm likely "expected" access or influence in exchange. The broadcaster — usually renowned for its high standard of global affairs reporting — described @zanu_pf as the official account of the ruling party in the country, when in fact it is best-known for its jokes. This week, Michael Avenatti, the attorney representing the porn star who claims to have had an affair with the president, released banking information that showed Cohen accepting more than $1.

2 million in payments from a Russian-tied investment firm Columbus Nova through Essential Consultants LLC, the shell company he formed to pay Daniels $130,000 in hush money just prior to the 2016 presidential election. I'm lucky in that regard, since I talk to John Mauldin almost every day. In addition to my own sources, I get the benefit of his network to follow the economy and financial markets. We know they're real people, not simulations.

What could happen moving forward If a factual connection emerges between the Daniels case and the Russia investigation, it may be possible for prosecutors to tie both investigations — and the evidence attached to them — into one case. Radio 4's "Today" programme, one of the most respected news shows in Britain, made claims about the whereabouts and personal safety of Zimbabwean leader Robert Mugabe based on the account, as well as using it as a bellwether of the nation's political situation.
