Jeremy Scahill: TigerSwan Security, Linked to Blackwater, Now Coordinates Intel for Dakota Access
e speak with Intercept co-founder Jeremy Scahill, who has spent years reporting on private security contractors such as the private security firm TigerSwan, which has links to the now-defunct mercenary firm Blackwater and is in charge of coordinating intelligence for the Dakota Access pipeline company. He discusses the company’s track record as more than 100 Native Americans and allies fighting the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline have been injured by police in North Dakota. Many were attacked with rubber bullets, tear gas, mace canisters and water cannons in freezing temperatures. The attack began after the water protectors attempted to clear access to a public bridge, which has been blocked by authorities using military equipment chained to concrete barriers.

LePage says Mainers didn’t understand referendum questions
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — Republican Gov. Paul LePage says he will propose slashing the income tax rate to lessen the impact of a new income surtax and minimum wage hike that Mainers approved this month.
The idea will be in LePage’s budget proposal due in January. In a letter to legislators, LePage said Maine voters didn’t understand the specifics of ballot questions they approved to raise the minimum wage and directly fund schools through a new surtax on individual Maine taxable income above $200,000.
LePage said the tax would make Maine’s income tax the second highest in the nation, and claimed the wage hike would increase prices and slash restaurant servers’ pay.
LePage proposes removing the income tax on pensions, reduce the cost of medications and make it harder to foreclose on elderly homeowners.

1,000 Clinton-Petraeus emails missing from records sent to State, FBI files show
Roughly 1,000 emails between Hillary Clinton and Gen. David Petraeus were thought to be missing from the 30,000 emails provided by Clinton’s team to the State Department in December 2014, according to the newly released FBI investigative files.
Additional documents obtained through a federal lawsuit by Judicial Watch show Clinton had directed Petraeus to send her emails at her personal address, which was used for all government work during her tenure as secretary of state.
In a heavily redacted FBI interview summary from Aug. 17, 2015, a State Department employee from the Office of Information and Programs and Services (IPS), which handles Freedom of Information Act requests, discussed how Petraeus’ records apparently were not among the work-related emails provided by the former secretary's team.

Governor suspends sheriff, pending removal
McKenzie County Sheriff Gary Schwartzenberger was placed on interim suspension Wednesday night, pending his removal from office, by Gov. Jack Dalrymple.
The governor ordered the interim suspension based on a recommendation from Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem after McKenzie County requested the sheriff be removed under a process available in state law.
The petition for removal was made by the county’s acting State’s Attorney Todd Schwarz on Oct. 24, alleging the sheriff is guilty of misconduct, malfeasance, crime in office, neglect of duty or gross incompetency. The county commission had voted in support of the petition for removal.
In a recommendation dated Wednesday, just short of the 30-day window to make his findings on the petition, Stenehjem said the allegations were investigated by the Bureau of Criminal Investigation and he recommended following through on removal.

Ex-Black Caucus chair backs Pelosi challenger
Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) secured a significant endorsement on Wednesday in his bid to challenge House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in a former chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus.
In a statement, Democratic Rep. Marcia Fudge said her fellow Ohioan offered what she believes is a necessary change after another disappointing election cycle for House Democrats.
Pelosi had predicted double-digit gains to cut into the House GOP majority in 2016, but Democrats have only netted six seats.

Trump Foundation Admits to Self-Dealing Violations
The Donald J. Trump Foundation, the private foundation established by President-elect Donald Trump, indicated in its 2015 filing with the Internal Revenue Service that it violated a legal prohibition against "self-dealing," the Washington Post reports.
In the section of the Trump Foundation's 2015 Form 990-PF where the foundation is asked to indicate whether it transferred income or assets to a disqualified person or persons — a category that can include the foundation’s leadership, related businesses, or the founding donor's family members — the form was checked "yes." On another line, the foundation indicated it also had engaged in self-dealing in previous years. Such violations can carry penalties, and the foundation's leaders can be required to repay money that it spent on their own behalf. Whether the foundation has already been assessed or paid penalties related to self-dealing, however, is unclear. The Trump Foundation was established nearly thirty years ago and had not previously admitted to such a violation.

Donald Trump’s media summit was a ‘f−−−ing firing squad’
Donald Trump scolded media big shots during an off-the-record Trump Tower sitdown on Monday, sources told The Post.
“It was like a f−−−ing firing squad,” one source said of the encounter.
“Trump started with [CNN chief] Jeff Zucker and said, ‘I hate your network, everyone at CNN is a liar and you should be ashamed,’ ” the source said.
“The meeting was a total disaster. The TV execs and anchors went in there thinking they would be discussing the access they would get to the Trump administration, but instead they got a Trump-style dressing-down,” the source added.

Deficits could stand in the way of Trump's agenda
Trump called during the campaign for a $1 trillion infrastructure package, $5 trillion in tax cuts, increases in military spending and the repeal ObamaCare, which could cost more than $350 billion over 10 years.
At the same time, the president-elect has promised “not to touch” Social Security or make cuts to Medicare.
The cost of Trump’s plans and the lack of concrete details on how to pay for them could become a problem for congressional Republicans next year, especially when they are faced with raising the nation’s $20 trillion borrowing limit sometime after March.

Trump offers retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn the job of national security adviser, a person close to the transition says
The most influential national security job in the still-forming Trump administration was offered to Michael T. Flynn, according to a person close to the transition who requested anonymity to discuss internal conversations. Flynn is a retired three-star general who helped dismantle insurgent networks in Afghanistan and Iraq but then surprised — and sometimes dismayed — colleagues by joining the political insurgency led by Donald Trump.
As a decorated military intelligence officer and former head of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Flynn would have deep experience to draw upon if he serves as Trump’s principal point of contact with the State Department, the Pentagon and U.S. intelligence agencies. But Flynn has also shown an erratic streak since leaving government that would likely make his elevation disconcerting even to those who once considered him a peer.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.

David Petraeus in the running to be Trump's secretary of state
David Petraeus – the former US army general and CIA director who was prosecuted for mishandling classified information – has entered the race to become Donald Trump’s secretary of state, diplomatic sources said on Thursday.
Petraeus resigned in November 2012 after the FBI discovered he had had an affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell, and had shared classified information with her. He eventually pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge for mishandling the information. People who have seen him recently say he is anxious to return to public life and has privately refused to rule out serving in a Trump administration.

NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio Confronts Trump in Person
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio met with President-elect Donald Trump Wednesday morning at Trump Tower to discuss the "concerns and needs of all New Yorkers," De Blasio said in an afternoon press conference. The meeting, which lasted just over an hour, touched on Trump's proposed deregulation of Wall Street, his proposed ban on Muslim immigration, and his plan to deport millions of undocumented immigrants.
De Blasio, a Democrat, said he told Trump he was "very concerned" about Trump's "exclusionary polices toward Muslims," adding that "there are 900 Muslim members of the NYPD protecting all of us." He also decried Trump's "hurtful" rhetoric, especially the president-elect's decision to appoint Steve Bannon as a chief White House advisor, after Bannon's long track record publishing racist and sexist content as the head of Breitbart News.

Rule 41 change probably won’t get congressional action
UPHILL CLIMB ON RULE 41 — It’s increasingly unlikely that the House and Senate will take action to block a pending change to government hacking powers. The proposed alteration to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure would let judges grant electronic search warrants for devices whose locations aren't known, and permit them to authorize remote searches of devices not in their jurisdiction. Congress has until Dec. 1 to halt the Rule 41 amendment, which critics fear could vastly expand government surveillance authority but proponents say is a mere technical necessity in today’s digital age. Sens. Ron Wyden and Rand Paul have sponsored legislation to block the update.

Cummings Calls on Chaffetz to Launch Inquiry into Trump’s So-Called “Blind Trust
Washington, D.C. (Nov. 14, 2016)—Today, Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, sent a letter to Chairman Jason Chaffetz requesting that the Oversight Committee immediately begin conducting a review of President-elect Donald Trump’s financial arrangements to ensure that he does not have any actual or perceived conflicts of interest and that he and his advisors comply with all legal and regulatory ethical requirements when he assumes the presidency.
November 14, 2016
The Honorable Jason Chaffetz
Chairman
Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515
Dear Mr. Chairman:
I am writing to request that the Oversight Committee immediately begin conducting a review of President-elect Donald Trump’s financial arrangements to ensure that he does not have any actual or perceived conflicts of interest and that he and his advisors comply with all legal and regulatory ethical requirements when he assumes the presidency.
We have never had a president like Mr. Trump in terms of his vast financial entanglements and his widespread business interests around the globe. Moreover, we have not had a presidential candidate in modern times who has refused to disclose his tax returns to the American people. Mr. Trump’s unprecedented secrecy and his extensive business dealings in foreign countries raise serious questions about how he intends to avoid conflicts of interest as president.
Press reports indicate that Mr. Trump will be relying heavily on his children to operate his financial empire, but these same individuals have played a significant role in his presidential campaign and continue to advise Mr. Trump on his transition team. This is certainly not a “blind trust.”
Congress has put in place several laws to avoid financial conflicts of interest—both actual and perceived. The Oversight Committee has direct jurisdiction over these financial interest laws and the White House.
For these reasons, I request that the Committee immediately begin a review of these issues and invite appropriate officials designated by Mr. Trump to hear from them directly about their plans. It is critical that we conduct this review as soon as possible to ensure that these questions are answered prior to Mr. Trump assuming office.
For the past six years, you and other Republicans in Congress have launched numerous investigations against President Obama and Secretary Clinton, and some of these have been used for partisan political purposes, as Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy admitted regarding the Benghazi Committee.
Now that Republicans control the White House and Congress, it is incumbent on you and other Republicans to conduct robust oversight over Mr. Trump—not for partisan reasons, but to ensure that our government operates effectively and efficiently and combats even the perception of corruption or abuse.
Sincerely,
Elijah E. Cummings
Ranking Member
