La nostra vita quotidiana è bombardata da coincidenze o, per meglio dire, da incontri fortuiti tra le persone e gli avvenimenti chiamati coincidenze. L’uomo, spinto dal senso della bellezza, trasforma un avvenimento casuale in un motivo che va poi a iscriversi nella composizione della sua vita.

Jeff Sessions Failed to Disclose Meetings with Russians in Security Clearance Application
Attorney General Jeff Sessions failed to disclose meetings with Russian officials, in his security clearance application, CNN reports:
Sessions, who met with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak at least two times last year, didn’t note those interactions on the form, which requires him to list “any contact” he or his family had with a “foreign government” or its “representatives” over the past seven years, officials said.
The new information from the Justice Department is the latest example of Sessions failing to disclose contacts he had with Russian officials. He has come under withering criticism from Democrats following revelations that he did not disclose the same contacts with Kislyak during his Senate confirmation hearings earlier this year.
Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), the top Dem on the House Judiciary Committee has called for an investigation into Sessions:
“In the face of an ongoing investigation into the Trump campaign’s contact with the Russian government –– an investigation from which Mr. Sessions is recused because of his failure to disclose similar contacts –– the Attorney General’s decision to omit this information from his security clearance application demands the House Judiciary Committee’s careful review,” Conyers said in a statement.
Conyers is pressing Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) for immediate hearing on the matter. Sessions, a former Alabama senator who was the first upper-chamber lawmaker to endorse President Trump last year, has been a controversial figure in the Justice Department’s ongoing investigation into potential collusion between Russia and Trump’s campaign.

게이법조회: 군사법원은 법치국가의 법원인가
보통 사단급 법원에서는 사단장이 관할관이라는 이상한 직책을 겸하고 있다. 이 직책은 도대체 무엇인지 알 수는 없지만 군사법원 사무에 대한 지휘·감독권을 가지고 있다. 즉, 법원 판결에 장군들이 관여할 수 있는 것이다. 관할관은 특히 관할관 확인 때 형을 감경을 할 수 있는 비교할 데 없는 이상한 권한을 갖고 있다(군사법원법 제379조). 이런 것은 민간법원의 판사는 물론 대법원장도 갖고 있지 않은 권한이다. 사단장이 군사법원의 판결을 임의로 고쳐 깎을 수 있는 것이다. 내가 쓰고도 믿기지가 않는다!

Greg Gianforte, Montana GOP House Candidate in Special Election, Body Slams Reporter: LISTEN
Greg Gianforte, the Republican House candidate running in Montana’s special election, body slammed Ben Jacobs, a political reporter for The Guardian, after Jacobs entered a room where a FOX News crew was setting up for an interview.
Listen to the incident:
The FOX News reporter Alicia Acuna, wrote a firsthand account of the incident:
Faith, Keith and I arrived early to set up for the interview in a room adjacent to another room where a volunteer BBQ was to take place. As the time for the interview neared, Gianforte came into the room. We exchanged pleasantries and made small talk about restaurants and Bozeman.
During that conversation, another man — who we now know is Ben Jacobs of The Guardian — walked into the room with a voice recorder, put it up to Gianforte’s face and began asking if him if he had a response to the newly released Congressional Budget Office report on the American Health Care Act. Gianforte told him he would get to him later. Jacobs persisted with his question. Gianforte told him to talk to his press guy, Shane Scanlon.
At that point, Gianforte grabbed Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground behind him. Faith, Keith and I watched in disbelief as Gianforte then began punching the man, as he moved on top the reporter and began yelling something to the effect of “I’m sick and tired of this!”
Jacobs scrambled to his knees and said something about his glasses being broken. He asked Faith, Keith and myself for our names. In shock, we did not answer. He then said he wanted the police called and went to leave. Gianforte looked at the three of us and repeatedly apologized. At that point, I told him and Scanlon, who was now present, that we needed a moment. The men then left.
The FOX crew says they saw no aggression from Jacobs during the incident. More at the link.

The Gallatin County sheriff’s office is investigating.
A statement by campaign spokesman Shane Scanlon blamed Jacobs for the altercation, saying that he “entered the office without permission, aggressively shoved a recorder in Greg’s face, and began asking badgering questions”.
“Jacobs was asked to leave,” the statement reads. “After asking Jacobs to lower the recorder, Jacobs declined. Greg then attempted to grab the phone that was pushed in his face. Jacobs grabbed Greg’s wrist, and spun away from Greg, pushing them both to the ground.
“It’s unfortunate that this aggressive behavior from a liberal journalist created this scene at our campaign volunteer BBQ.”
Scanlon’s account appears to be contradicted by audio of the abortive interview recorded by Jacobs. The audio does not capture Jacobs being asked to leave or lower his recorder, but does contain an apparent reference to the Guardian’s previous attempts to report on Gianforte. “I’m sick and tired of you guys,” Gianforte said. “The last guy who came here did the same thing. Get the hell out of here. Get the hell out of here. The last guy did the same thing. Are you with the Guardian?”
