Vidnesbyrd indgivet til domstolen i dag af den britiske regering viser uden for enhver tvivl, at Boris Johnson slet og ret har løjet om den grad af sikkerhed hvormed Porton Down vidensksfolkene har udtalt sig om hvorvidt Skripal er blevet forgiftet af et russisk "novichok" middel.
I går i et et interview med Deutsche Welle påstod Boris Johnson direkte, at Porton Down havde fortalt ham, at de med sikkerhed havde identificeret nervemidlet som russisk:
Du siger, at kilden til dette nervemiddel, Novichok, er russisk. Hvordan fandt du ud af det så hurtigt? Besidder Storbritannien prøver af det?
Lad mig være tydelig over for dig ... Når jeg ser på beviserne, jeg mener folkene fra Porton down, laboratoriet ...
Så de har prøver ...
Det har de. Og de er fuldstændigt kategoriske, og jeg spurgte selv fyren, jeg sagde: "Er du sikker?" Og han sagde, der er ingen tvivl.
Jeg har skrevet og offentliggjordt fra mine egne whistleblowers, at dette er løgn. Indtil nu kunne jeg ikke bevise det. Men i dag kan jeg fuldstændig bevise det, på grund af højesterettens kendelse som gav tilladelse til at nye prøver kan tages fra Skripal til brug i OPCW.
A California judge ruled Thursday that Stormy Daniels’ request to depose President Donald Trump was “premature,” but that isn’t stopping the former adult actress and her attorney Michael Avenatti from going after POTUS.
Avenatti joined CNN’s Wolf Blitzer shortly after the decision to explain his client’s plan of attack.

Barclays Agrees to Pay $2 Billion in Civil Penalties to Resolve Claims for Fraud in the Sale of Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities
Two Former Barclays Executives Agree to Pay $2 Million to Resolve Claims Brought Against Them Individually
The United States has reached agreement with Barclays Capital, Inc. and several of its affiliates (together, Barclays) to settle a civil action filed in December 2016 in which the United States sought civil penalties for alleged conduct related to Barclays’ underwriting and issuance of residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) between 2005 and 2007. Barclays will pay the United States two billion dollars ($2,000,000,000) in civil penalties in exchange for dismissal of the Amended Complaint.
Following a three-year investigation, the complaint in the action, United States v. Barclays Capital, Inc., alleged that Barclays caused billions of dollars in losses to investors by engaging in a fraudulent scheme to sell 36 RMBS deals, and that it misled investors about the quality of the mortgage loans backing those deals. It alleged violations of the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 (FIRREA), based on mail fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, and other misconduct.
Agreement has also been reached with the two former Barclays executives who were named as defendants in the suit: Paul K. Menefee, of Austin, Texas, who served as Barclays’ head banker on its subprime RMBS securitizations, and John T. Carroll, of Port Washington, New York, who served as Barclays’ head trader for subprime loan acquisitions. In exchange for dismissal of the claims against them, Menefee and Carroll agree to pay the United States the combined sum of two million dollars ($2,000,000) in civil penalties.
The settlement was announced by Richard P. Donoghue, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, and Laura S. Wertheimer, Inspector General, of the Federal Housing Finance Agency Office of the Inspector General (FHFA-OIG).
