Rod Rosenstein Speaks on the Rule of Law at CSIS : CSPAN : March 1, 2019 5:47pm-6:49pm EST
general rod rosenstein said new attorney general william barr would make the right decision when asked about the molar investigation's final report. this conversation came on the importance of the rule of law. this is just over an hour. [applause] >> one of the issues we talked about was fake news. i regret to say i'm not the longest-serving deputy attorney general. in my home state of maryland, there was a u.s. attorney that served for 19 years and i served for only 12. so i am far from achieving that distinction. but my career in the department does go back so far that i remember when bill parr was attorney general of the united states. [laughter] mr. rosenstein: he was actually deputy attorney general when i began my job and then ascended to the attorney general position thereafter and we are very grateful, very fortunate to have him back. i think that is yet another example of a superb appointment that president trump has made which i believe does demonstrate a commitment to the rule of law. and i'm grateful for the center for strategic and international studies for giving me

attorney general rod rosenstein as he approaches the end of his service. he gave a speech today in which he said is one of his final speeches, possibly his final speech. you will want to hear every word of what rod rosenstein had to say that he appeared to be aiming directly at the president of the united states. and you will also hear rod rosenstein's one attempt at stand-up comedy. that's the part you really don't want to miss. all of that is coming up at the end of this hour. but first, not since the nixon era have we seen anything like this. the campaign chairman of the president of the united states, who has been in prison awaiting sentencing, has tonight been sentenced to 47 months in prison for tax evasion and bank fraud in federal court in the eastern district of virginia. paul manafort will be credited with the nine months he has served while awaiting sentencing. the federal sentencing guidelines for paul manafort's crimes suggested a sentence in the range of 19 to 24 years. but prosecutors simply referred the judge to those sentencing guidelines instead of recommending a

news has confirmed that deputy attorney general rod rosenstein will stay at the justice department a little longer according to a senior department official. rosenstein had previously implied he would leave by mid-march, but no firm date was ever set. after consulting with the new attorney general, he'll now stay in his position a bit longer. asked whether the delay means that robert mueller is still not ready to deliver his report to the department, the senior official declined to comment to nbc news. according to a new report from cnn. rosenstein apparently wants to stick around, so he can be the heat shield if there's fallout from the mueller report. this comes on the heels of adam schiff pledging to investigate whether the president or anyone around him is currently -- currently under the influence of a foreign government. schiff tells nbc news, it's very much an open question whether this is something the special counsel has looked at. schiff adds, if the president has been successful in chilling the doj from looking at his finances, the congress needs to do it. anyway in which

is the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein was very clear in a letter to senator grassley, the former head of the senate judiciary committee, when he said in effect that he didn't want to repeat the same mistakes that were made in 2016, that it's not the department's position to release information that is damaging to individuals who are never prosecuted for any crimes in the future. that was in reference, and it's cited in the letter, to the former fbi director james comey and his decision to publicly discuss the findings in the clinton email case, but to recommend against criminal prosecutions. so the long action, to your concise question, is that when you look at the regulations, it's entirely possible to deliver bare bones of what's required in a very short time frame. the unknown and all of this is whether the attorney general william barr will in fact go further because he has some discretion to provide additional information and that do so and t the heart, if you will, or the main element of his testimony during the confirmation hearings, that he pledged to that to the e

New cast guttering. Painted and fitted.
Finished roof. Completed in four weeks.
Matching roof on new extension. Extension wrap round.
This traditional slate roof in Blackhall was built in just 4 weeks and included new cast guttering which we fitted and painted.
I couldn't believe how quick and efficient the team were, no more leaky roofs!


As the first custom car show of the year Motorama marks the upcoming arrival of spring for hibernating enthusiasts of Ontario. Where the Autoshow is for the general automotive public Motorama is for us.
For the eager it's a chance to show off what they've been up to all winter. And for everyone else it's a break from our projects and a reminder that there are plenty of cool cars set to roam the streets or track in the upcoming season.
Always a busy event, this year I got through the door early on the show's opening day to check out the show a few minutes before it was packed with people.
As a showcase of the best the show had to offer shooting the main hall is a challenge when the doors kick open.
My first stop in the main hall was actually to the Performance Improvments booth. While they were still setting up I said my 'hellos' and snapped some photos of Ted Barnes Datsun 510.
Barnes Motorsports and Performance Improvements have had a relationship for nearly as long as Ted has had this car.
Wearing refreshed colors the small block swapped drag prepared 510 looked better than ever.
It currently runs 10.405 at 130.80 mph, and Barnes Racing is constantly improving their program so it's likely going to keep getting faster.
My next stop was to check out "Fine Wine" the latest build from Hitman Hot Rods. It's an LS powered Task Force truck that sits on the lowered version of their made to order, chassis.
The team at Hitman thrashed to the finish line for this one with final assembly happening the week of the show.
The thrash was worth it because Fine Wine ended up taking home several awards including the "Grand Champion" award. Which is essentially the "best of" out of the entire show.
More importantly, the owner was absolutely thrilled with the build and is looking forward to driving the wheels off it when summer hits.
Whoever curated the front hall this year did an outstanding job. Something for everybody seemed to be the focus.
Hot rods, street rods, customs, there were even a few European classics in the front hall as well.
Keith, at Binbrook Speed shop, had two of his builds in the front hall in 2018. His own Binbrook Coupe and a customer commissioned '27 Ford.
Both cars are done in the traditional hot rod style he's known for.
It's been super cool watching Keith get better, and better, at what he does.
I've already dropped the hint that I want to shoot both cars this summer so hopefully we can make that happen.
On Friday this "C7 Corvette" had the hood installed and naturally assumed there was an LS lurking within.
When I returned Saturday to find the hood removed I realized that I couldn't have been more wrong.
Instead of a v8 there as an alcohol fueled Nissan six cylinder sitting between the rails of a custom chassis.
The Vette is a 10.5″ tire 1/8 mile car, and the latest build from local drag racing and restoration shop Chassis Shop.
Not big in the drag scene I'd never heard of them prior to the show, but now I'm certainly paying attention.
From drag cars to time attack cars Motorama had a fair-sized grouping of Motorsports vehicles.
Quarter mile, time attack heck even a few racing lawn mowers.
One of the feature attendees of this year's show was Jeff Lutz who brought his latest build, a very bright, very fast '57 Chevy. This car has a 540 big block with twin 98mm Precision turbos.
Around the big block is a mostly carbon fiber body save for the roof cowl and windshield frame.
Joining Jeff in the 'Drag Week' display was Dave Schroeder and his Corvette. His car runs a Pro mod motor, that's 872 cubic inches, and has a ton of (four stages worth) nitrous flowing through it.
All that power, and of course a lot of driving ability is why Dave took home the Drag week title in 2017.
Oh he's Canadian to boot, so score one for Canada.
One of the more interesting performance builds at the show was the Deboss Garage Audi Quattro.
Destined for the scrap heap the Deboss garage built this car to compete in a YouTube challenge organized by Superspeedersrob.
Today, as you can see, the Audi is LS powered. Despite that fact it retains its Quattro system thanks to a built Audi RS2 six-speed transmission.
As you've no doubt already noticed there is no radiator in the front, and in my hunt to find said radiator I found it and two compound turbos lifted from a Power Stroke diesel.
At the show the motor on the car was slightly hurt, but it should be all back up and ready to go soon. When it was in top shape the car made 694 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque.
All this insanity still wears plates, so it could, theoretically, still drive on the street.
The Dodge Dart that I often run into at Durham cruise ins was at also posted up at Motorama looking quite a bit different from the last time I'd seen it. Still running a blow through turbo set up the turbos have been lifted above the grill and heat wrapped.
I really ought to figure out exactly how much jam this car makes one day because there's no way it's not getting faster every time I see it.
The car was parked beside this C10 that was also set up for the 1/4 mile. It's exciting that there are still plenty of cars left in Durham for me to check out.
Potentially as heavily modified as these two if not more.
Kevin and Dutch Grasley brought Thunderball to the show as part of a 'barn find' display.
The car got a lot of foot traffic at the event. A few of the people who stopped by even remembered the car from its heyday where it won some of the awards you see pictured.
Almost directly opposite from Kevin sat the Cadimax. A black bagged Cadillac sitting on Detroit Steel Wheels.
The Cadimax gets its name from the Duramax motor that's been swapped in. I'm sure it gets a bit better mileage now versus the Caddillac V8 that usually sits under the hood of these behemoths.
Eddie's Rod And Custom brought their split window, named 'Split Second' to Toronto for Autorama 2018. Split Second is a front hall worthy car that had previously debuted at the Detroit Autorama in 2017.
Exploring the rest of the halls I was impressed at the variety of vehicles that filled the halls.
I've wanted to see the above hauler trailer combination ever since it debuted at SEMA, but of a shame it was so tightly surrounded by metal guards preventing me from lining up the shot I wanted.
Reisinger Customs positioned two cars side by side, each, top caliber traditional hot rods. The blue Ford featured a huge flat head Lincoln v12. Supercharged the motor that was a thing of beauty.
With not much weight to the car I bet it would go like stink with the pedal to the floor.
One car that had a lot of people talking at Motorama was the Datsun 280z 2+2 that Splitfire Performance debuted.
Using the same tb48de Nissan motor the Corvette in the front hall had this car was also set up to be a straight line terror.
With an engine bay full of Vibrant Performance parts, a water to air inter-cooler and a giant Precision Turbo this car was a favorite of many.
There's plenty more from Motorama to come next week, from Spring Fever, the tuner hall that takes place in the back.

Celebrating the year ahead with Montblanc
Business and Motivation, News
Montblanc ushers in the New Year with its annual limited edition writing instruments honouring the myths and legends of the Eastern World.
Through the artistry of the finest craftsmanship, the Montblanc Signs and Symbols collection tells the stories of the signs that once originated in the world of myths and legends and continue to retain all of their significance today in Eastern culture and beyond.
Released annually since 2015, the collection is made up of the "Legend of Zodiacs", a writing instrument inspired by the zodiac sign of the year to come and "A Journey Among Dragons", a line that pays homage to mythical creatures and their great powers. Bringing together the beauty of precious stones and artisanship of fine hand engraving on its 925 sterling silver cap, each edition differs in design and meaning to honour the ancient symbols that have inspired them.
New Year, New Zodiac: The Pig Limited Edition 512
In addition to offering an indication of the opportunities for the year ahead, the defining characteristics of each zodiac sign are said to be transferred to people born in that year. According to the legend of the Zodiacs, the Jade Emperor held a race for all the animals in his kingdom, promising the first twelve animals to cross the stream that they would be named the animals of the zodiac. The fourth of the Legend of Zodiacs editions to be released by Montblanc celebrates the year of the pig. Because it took a break halfway through the crossing to relax and eat, the pig made it to the other bank as the twelfth and final animal to be accepted in the zodiac.
The hand-engraved design on the silver cap is a detailed representation of the animal that is associated with good fortune, success, wealth and resilience. The zodiac symbol is elegantly stamped on the Au750 solid gold nib, while the cone is set with a sparkling ruby, the birthstone of the pig. The Montblanc emblem that crowns the fountain pen is crafted from precious mother of pearl. Bringing additional good fortune for the year ahead, the special limitation number of the Pig Limited Edition is a celebration of the lucky number 8 with 512 being the sum total of 8x8x8.
A Journey Among Dragons: Heavenly Dragon Limited Edition 88
Myths and legends depict the East Asian dragon in a multitude of figures illustrating its numerous traits and great powers. The mystical dragon god carries the attributes of different animals: the head of a camel, the eyes of a demon, the horns of a stag, the ears of a cow, the neck of a snake, tiger feet, eagle talons and the scaly body of a fish. Over the centuries, a few of these dragons have become crystallized in Asian culture. Given its standing not only as one of the 12 zodiac symbols of the East Asian calendar, but also as one of the four direction or miracle animals, the dragon has a substantial influence on everyday occurrences in East Asian life. Among them, Tianlong, the Heavenly Dragon (天龍 ) who guards the celestial palaces of the gods and pull their chariots. Considered the dragon of the Emperor, the Tianlong could fly and was always depicted with five toes instead of just three or four toes. Crafted in Montblanc's Artisan Atelier, the cast sterling silver cap is engraved by hand with an artistic representation of the dragon. The dragon motif is carried through to the silver barrel in white lacquer, decorated with an elegant dragon guilloche underneath.
At the base of the writing instrument, a blue lapis lazuli evokes the Dragon's role as the ruler of moving bodies of water, while the champagne gold fittings are a reference to gold coloured dragons that have special attributes such as wealth, wisdom, and kindness. Crowning the limited edition, the Montblanc emblem in mother-of-pearl is inlayed in black onyx and covered with a sapphire glass. Limited to just 88 pieces in reference to the luck that comes from the number 8, this "A Journey Among Dragons" masterpiece brings to life the modern spirit of Eastern culture with elegance and creativity.

Election Commission rescinds plan to review voter citizenship
The Davidson County Election Commission today voted to rescind a motion they passed last month that would have examined the citizenship status of foreign born people who registered to vote at the Department of Motor Vehicles and who used as a form of Id a green card or other documents that would lead one to suspect they may not be citizens.
Legal immigrants who are not citizens can legally get drivers license. DMV workers are required to ask people when they are getting a drivers license if they are registered to vote and offer to register them. Election Commissioner Steve Abernathy expressed concern that many immigrants who may have limited English skills, when asked it they would like to register, may be intimidated by a person in uniform asking them if they want to register and may assume they are supposed to do so.
The argument against the proposed study was that it was constitutionally suspect to only look at the registration of foreign born registered voters. Abernathy, said that, that is where the problem is and his attorney argued such a study would be constitutional. An argument against the proposed study was that the State Election Commission is working on a study to conform to a law passed in 2010 that requires the State Election Commission to examine the citizenship status of all voters and then pass on to the local election commissions a list of those who are discovered not to be citizens. Patricia Heim argued that Metro should not duplicate work the state is doing.
Abernathy argued that we have had three close elections since the State was supposed to have done their study and that the outcome of those elections might have been different had only citizens been permitted to vote. He said he did know how many non-citizens may be registered but estimated the number may be between 3000 to 9000. He also said, the problem of non-citizens registering to vote is probably a lot worse in Nashville than in any other county in Tennessee due to the large number of immigrants living in the Nashville area.
The discussion of the rescission motion went on for about an hour as a standing-room-only crowd of about forty people crammed into the meeting room to observe the proceedings and others listened on monitors from nearby rooms. The overwhelming majority of the public attending the meeting was there to support Abernathy's efforts to ensure voter integrity and they wore identifying badges. There were several people there on the other side of the issue but the efforts to turn out the other side appeared to have fizzled. All commissioners agreed they did not want non-citizens voting in our elections. Lynn Greer, Chairman of the Election Commission, said he was going to support the motion to rescind but would write a letter to the state urging them to complete their study. If not done by May 1, the Election Commission will revisit the issue. Everyone seemed pleased by the results of the session and Abernathy joined the other commissioner in voting to rescind the original motion calling for the study.
Steve Abernathy is to be commended for shedding light on this problem and taking a stand. We need to be vigilant and make sure the State follows through on the study they are supposed to be doing and completes it in a timely manner. Thankfully there are no elections scheduled soon, so there is time to purge from the rolls ineligible voters before the next election. If the State does not act in a timely manner, we need to organized to put pressure on the state and again pursue Metro undertaking its own study. Elections are too important to allow non-citizens to vote.

Today we're going back to see some pictures I took a while ago, of a Whole Foods Market in Montclair that opened as a Food Fair, then was converted to Pantry Pride. Fresh Fields, an independent natural-foods store, took over after that before the chain was bought out by Whole Foods.
The art-deco tower is left over from Food Fair.
Due (I believe) to local ordinances, the store's signs are all backlit, but not the standard light-up signs.
Soon after this store opened, Whole Foods took over the nearby Pathmark in West Orange, which is about double the size of this store. Consequently, people use this store as a convenience store and the West Orange location as a full supermarket. That is, those who can afford to do their full shopping at Whole Foods. Everyone else uses the Essex Green ShopRite in West Orange!
