WiseElder's JournalTrump commutes sentence of grandmother serving life on drug charges after Kim Kardashian meeting

"BEST NEWS EVER!!!!" tweeted Kardashian West, who had lobbied for clemency for the grandmother, who is in her 60's.
President Donald Trump commuted the life sentence of Alice Marie Johnson on Wednesday, just days after reality star Kim Kardashian West lobbied the president in an Oval Office meeting to intervene on behalf of the inmate who was convicted on drug charges.
Johnson, 63, has been in federal prison more than 21 years after being found guilty in connection to a drug trafficking conspiracy, and she would have died behind bars without the president's clemency. She is one of thousands of Americans serving life sentences for nonviolent offenses, according to a 2013 report by the American Civil Liberties Union, the vast majority of whom are there on drug crimes.

Avenatti withdraws motion to represent Stormy Daniels in Cohen case
Source: the Hill
Michael Avenatti has withdrawn his request to represent adult film star Stormy Daniels in the case centered on the FBI raid of President Trumps attorney Michael Cohen.
Shortly after a conference hearing Wednesday in a federal district court in Manhattan, Avenatti withdrew his request to weigh in on the case.
Cohen is reportedly being investigated, among other things, for the $130,000 he paid Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election to keep quiet about the affair she says she had with Trump.
Avenatti reportedly faced tough questions during the hearing from federal district court Judge Kimba Wood, who told him in court on Wednesday he would have to stop his publicity tour if he wanted to participate in the case.
Cohens attorneys fought hard to keep Avenatti from joining the case, arguing in court filings that hes has created a carnival atmosphere by making public statements and doing national TV appearances in which hes shared nonpublic information and made misrepresentations about Cohen.

Trump supporters will excuse and praise anything Trump does.
I would bet that if Trump set it up to have a horse sodomize him on national TV his supporters would say; "Hey, he's taking it like a real man."
That being said, I would pay to see that and I'll bet it would have the highest ratings of all time. Maybe someone should suggest it to Trump.

Russia: We Told the U.S. Where in Syria It Couldnt Bomb

Russia has revealed it warned the US about "red lines" it should not cross before it launched airstrikes on Syria.
Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov is reported to have said that officials in Washington were contacted before last weekend's strikes by the US, UK and France.
Mr Lavrov said: "There were military leadership contacts, between generals, between our representatives and the coalition leadership.
"They were informed about where our red lines are, including red lines on the ground, geographically. And the results show that they did not cross these red lines."
Some 105 missiles were launched in response to a suspected chemical attack in the Syrian city of Douma on 7 April that killed more than 40 people.
The Kremlin had threatened retaliatory action if strikes were launched - but it now appears there was at least some level of cooperation.
Russia, a key ally of Syria, has denied that any chemical attack took place.
