What were the circumstances of Parnas' arrest?

I've forgotten, but why wouldn't Barr have been concerned? Didn't realize that Parnas' took notes etc?

I love the timing of this! The Senate is committed to begin

tomorrow at noon, and is mandated to stick with the impeachment trial all day every day (except Sunday) until it's over.

Hahahah and they can't talk to each other or have their phones!

It's like being grounded on Halloween, or something.

They say the first one is the hardest

Did it frustrate him that Maria eluded her assassin's?

Was Khashoggi really his first?

Or was it Suleiman?

Who was Trump's first confirmed hit?

How many interpretations can you come up with for this quote?

"I guess you can buy anything here, for the right price."

Omit the "right price" clause and you could be talking about an incredibly well-stocked grocery store.

With the "right price" clause, that severely limits the number of innocuous interpretations.

Please add your parsings.

Not that he often does, but I bet frequency goes to zero.

A Ukrainian Boeing 737-800 carrying at least 170 people on Wednesday crashed shortly after takeoff from Tehran because of technical problems, according to the Iranian state news media.

Everyone on board died in the crash, the Iranian state news media reported.

The plane was bound for Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, local media reported.

Photos posted by Iranian news organizations showed rescuers examining smoking rubble in a field. The Iranian Students’ News Agency, a state-run media organization, shared a video it said showed the predawn crash, with a distant light descending in the distance before a bright burst filled the sky upon impact.

US government agency website hacked by group claiming to be from Iran

Source: The Guardian

A group claiming to be hackers from Iran have breached the website of a little-known US government agency and posted messages vowing revenge for Washington’s killing of top military commander Qassem Suleimani.

The website of the Federal Depository Library Program was replaced on Saturday with a page titled “Iranian Hackers!” that displayed images of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the Iranian flag.

“Martyrdom was (Suleimani’s)... reward for years of implacable efforts,” read a graphic depicting US president Donald Trump being punched by a fist emanating from Iran as missiles fly by.

“With his departure and with God’s power, his work and path will not cease and severe revenge awaits those criminals who have tainted their filthy hands with his blood and blood of the other martyrs,” it said.
