A former Wisconsin state Supreme Court justice who spread election conspiracies
and led an investigation into President Donald Trump’s 2020 loss in the swing state
agreed Monday to surrender his law license to settle multiple misconduct violations.
The state Office of Lawyer Regulation filed a 10-count complaint in November
against #Michael #Gableman, accusing him of misconduct during the probe.
The state Supreme Court ultimately could revoke Gableman’s law license,
although the court rarely administers such a harsh punishment against wayward attorneys.
The OLR and Gableman filed a stipulation with the Supreme Court on Monday
in which they agreed an appropriate sanction would be suspending Gableman’s license for three years.
A referee overseeing the case and the Supreme Court must approve the agreement before it can take effect.
Gableman acknowledged in the filing that the complaint provides “an adequate factual basis”
and that he couldn’t successfully defend himself against the allegations.

Despite federal judges' orders to halt the Trump administration's federal funding freeze, 
the NIH has awarded few grants, 
disregarding the advice of its own lawyers
-- and apparently prompting departures, according to The Atlantic
HHS officials have pressed the NIH to continue the pause on grants,
and NIH acting director #Matthew #Memoli, MD, has towed the party line,
according to the article, which was based on interviews with nearly a dozen current and former NIH officials. 
The grant management officers who usually sign off on awards are afraid to do so, lest they lose their jobs.
The fight over funding has led to the departures of top NIH officials. On Feb. 10, after the urging of top HHS lawyers to resume payments, #Michael #Lauer, MD, the chief of NIH's extramural research division, issued a memo to resume funding grants -- only to subsequently resign.
That same week, former NIH deputy director #Lawrence #Tabak, DDS, PhD, announced he was retiring, instead of being forced into a demotion.
The departures "left many at the agency shocked and unmoored," the article stated, citing employees' concerns that if two high-ranking officials were forced out, no positions were safe.
"We're all still terrified for our jobs," one current official told The Atlantic. "No one knows who they can trust."

pell-mell by manyfires
It’s fairly common for investigative journalists to be accused of being paid shills, or agents of a foreign power.
Foreign dictators and kleptocrats do it daily.
But becoming the target of a “deep state” conspiracy theory
endorsed by the world’s richest man and supporters of the president of the United States is something else entirely.
That’s what happened to me last week.
It began because of a story, which a colleague and I wrote in collaboration with BuzzFeed News in July 2019.
It shed light on Rudy Giuliani's attempts to dig up negative information on Donald Trump’s political opponents in Ukraine,
where I was based at the time.
The story made a small splash when it was published,
mostly among politicos and Ukraine-watchers, but didn’t get a lot of traction.
That was fine with me.
As an Australian journalist working in Eastern Europe, I was just glad that I had published an interesting story that pushed forward what was known about Giuliani’s dealings in Ukraine.
But that September, it was cited in the footnotes of a report by a CIA whistleblower that sparked Trump’s first impeachment.
This citation is now at the center of absurd claims that we,
as professional reporters,
were part of a “deep state” plot to bring down the president of the United States.
The pretext for this is that,
like scores of independent media outlets around the world,
OCCRP had received grants from USAID,
the United States’ foreign development agency,
which has recently come under the crosshairs of the new Trump administration.
(As with all of our donors, USAID is contractually obligated to stay out of editorial work.)
One particularly excitable writer, #Michael #Shellenberger,
who identifies himself as a free speech advocate, has gone so far as to label our story
“highly illegal and even treasonous.”
The irony of it all?
The story started as an investigation into the same target that Giuliani was after:
Hunter Biden and the Ukrainian gas company he worked for, Burisma.
But the thing about objective reporting is that it can lead you to unexpected places.
Here’s how it began.
It was the middle of 2019,
and I was relatively new to Ukraine,
having moved there to live with my now-wife and work as an OCCRP editor helping local journalists with their investigations.
I asked my Ukrainian colleagues what they thought we should be reporting on. -- They suggested we look into Hunter Biden and Burisma.
There had already been a fair bit of reporting on the younger Biden's questionable relationship with the company.
As an investigative reporter, I wondered if we could find something new to say about the situation.
I came across a series of articles written for The Hill by #John #Solomon, a conservative journalist, in which he made the explosive allegation that Joe Biden had pressured Ukraine to fire its former chief prosecutor, #Viktor #Shokin,
in order to bury a case against Burisma.
To check this, I called up some anti-corruption experts in Ukraine who had been part of the effort to go after Burisma.
They were friendly enough, but it was clear they thought I was a bit wet behind the ears.
They explained that I had the story backwards.
Ukrainians, they said, had been out on the streets protesting against Shokin because he was the one protecting Burisma from investigation, not the other way around.
In fact, Biden had called for Shokin’s firing even though Burisma was paying his son.
This didn’t absolve Hunter of wrongdoing — but it showed that, while making a handsome salary, he had failed to deliver the level of insider access Burisma may have hoped for.
My original story idea was dead, though I did ultimately work on another investigation that cast scrutiny on Hunter Biden’s business partner the following year.
(Strangely, our detractors seem to overlook that one.)
Meanwhile, I had a new mystery to unravel:
how it came to be that a distorted version of the Hunter Biden/Burisma story had gained traction in the United States.
I don’t usually cover the U.S.,
and I felt a little out of my depth.
So my Ukrainian colleagues and I reached out to BuzzFeed News to collaborate.
We scoured the internet and started making calls on both sides of the Atlantic.
The upside-down story being told by Solomon (and Giuliani) had clearly come from the former prosecutor Shokin, and his successor, Yuriy Lutsenko.
We thought the answer might lie with two mysterious Ukraine-linked figures who had grown close to Giuliani,
Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman.
Both born in the Soviet Union, the men pursued a colorful life in South Florida.
#Fruman was a businessman with ties back in the Ukrainian city of Odesa to a well-known gangster, known as “The Lightbulb.”
#Parnas was a former stockbroker with a history of unpaid debts.

FAA Leader Quit Before D.C. Plane Crash—Thanks to Elon Musk
The administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration, #Michael #Whitaker, resigned from his position on January 20
-- after repeated demands from Elon Musk that he quit,
-- leaving the agency without a Senate-confirmed leader during a major crisis in the wake of the D.C. plane crash.
Musk called for Whitaker’s resignation in September after the FAA chief proposed fining Musk’s company SpaceX over $600,000 in civil penalties for failing to follow license requirements during two launches in 2023.
Whitaker told a congressional panel at the time that fines were “the only tool we have to get compliance on safety matters.”
The tech CEO and fascism enthusiast repeatedly attacked Whitaker from his X account,
claiming in one post that the FAA was “harassing SpaceX.”
Musk also replied to an X poster who said the FAA “should not exist” and attacked Whitaker for preventing his goal of colonizing Mars.
“The fundamental problem is that humanity will forever be confined to Earth unless there is radical reform at the FAA!” Musk posted in a reply to Australian YouTuber Marcus House.
FAA administrators typically serve for a five-year term,
but Whitaker only served for one year,
replacing Trump appointee Stephen Dickson in 2022.
Whitaker had been confirmed by a bipartisan 98–0 Senate vote in October 2023.
On Wednesday, a commercial American Airlines flight collided with an Army helicopter above Reagan National Airport near Washington, D.C.,
killing everyone on board both aircraft.
Since January 20, the head of the FAA has been deputy FAA administrator #Chris #Rocheleau,
who was only sworn in last week, giving him a stiff learning curve early on the job.
When Whitaker announced in December that he would resign, he told FAA staff in an email,
“The United States is the safest and most complex airspace in the world, and that is because of your commitment to the safety of the flying public.”
Wednesday’s disaster will certainly raise questions as to whether something went wrong in air safety protocols and whether disruption at the agency contributed to the crash.

As Donald Trump returns to office, the critics, prosecutors and perceived enemies who sought to hold him accountable and banish him from American political life are now facing, with considerable trepidation, a president who is assuming power having vowed to exact vengeance.
Mr. Trump has promised to investigate and punish adversaries, especially those involved in his four prosecutions and the congressional investigation of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.
Those threats, along with his stated intention to grant clemency to at least some of those who carried out the Jan. 6 assault,
have many in Washington and elsewhere on edge
-- fearing not just government action against them but that the telegraphing of his wishes has created an environment of unpredictable,
free-range retribution by his supporters.
#Michael #Fanone, a former police officer who was among those attacked by the pro-Trump crowd on Jan. 6, 2021, has been an outspoken critic of Mr. Trump.
He said he feared that the violence and threats that have already been directed at him and his family
— including his mother
— will only get worse after Mr. Trump returns to office
[Mr Fanone did not receive a pardon from President Biden]

As the mob descended on lawmakers certifying the results of the 2020 election, won by Joe Biden,
#Michael #Fanone, then a District of Columbia Metropolitan Police officer, would be viciously assaulted as he defended the U.S. Capitol.
He was electroshocked on his neck with a Taser;
he was kicked and beaten.
His radio was ripped off his body;
his badge stripped away from him.
The group of men who assaulted him came at him five at a time.
Fanone had a heart attack and lost consciousness.
At one point during the assault, he pleaded with the Trump supporters clawing at him to consider his children.
Shortly after the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection, Fanone left the police force.
-- He has spent much of the last four years warning the public that indifference to the insurrection would spell the death of democracy as Americans know it.
He poured himself into disseminating this warning
while watching, like many others, as legal attempt after legal attempt to hold Trump to any account for his alleged role in the Jan. 6 events evaporated.
The experience has left Fanone with no confidence in his fellow police officers, the justice system at large or the American public.
“There’s no doubt in my mind that he got away with inciting an insurrection as well as defrauding the American people and attempting to subvert democracy,”
Fanone told HuffPost during a phone interview just ahead of the fourth anniversary of the Capitol riot.
“I don’t believe we live in a democracy anymore,” Fanone said.
“I believe democracy in this country is dead, and it died when the Supreme Court granted the president of the United States immunity for official acts
and then failed to define what the fuck official acts are.”
The Supreme Court’s ruling in Trump v. United States in July found that as long as something could be shaded as an “official” act,
prosecution was off the table.
The ruling obliterated key parts of the criminal indictment brought against Trump in the Jan. 6 case by then-special counsel Jack Smith.
And Trump’s victory in November means he’ll likely never face federal charges.
