Flake vows to oppose judges
unless Mueller bill gets vote
BY MARY CLARE JALONICK
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Repub
lican Sen. Jeff Flake said
Wednesday that he won’t
vote to confirm judicial nomi
nees unless GOP leaders hold
a vote on legislation to protect
special counsel Robert Muel
ler from being fired.
Flake of Arizona and Dem
ocratic Sen. Chris Coons of
Delaware went to the Senate
floor on Wednesday and tried
to bring the legislation up for
a vote. But Senate Majority
Leader Mitch McConnell
objected. McConnell has said
that the legislation is unnec
essary because he believes
Mueller won’t be fired.
Flake and Coons called
for the vote in the wake of
Attorney General Jeff Ses
sions’ departure. President
Donald Trump pushed Ses
sions out last week and tem
porarily replaced him with
a loyalist, Matt Whitaker,
who has criticized the Muel
ler investigation. The special
counsel’s probe is investigat
ing Russian interference in
the 2016 presidential election
and Russian ties to Trump’s
Republican campaign.
“This is not a moment for
our leadership to be weak or
irresolute or compromised in
any way,” Flake said, adding
that “the president now has
this investigation in his sights
and we all know it. ”
Flake, who retires in Janu
ary, said he wouldn’t vote to
confirm judges on the Senate
floor or to advance them out
of committee until there was
a vote on the Mueller
bill. He said he’d con
tinue to come to the
Senate floor to call
for one.
McConnell
objected without
comment. But he
said earlier Wednes
day that he’s never
heard anyone at the
White House suggest they
want to shut the investigation
down.
“I think it’s in no danger, so
I don’t think any legislation is
necessary,” McConnell said.
The move by Flake and
Coons comes more than a
year after the bipartisan leg
islation was introduced and
underscores the deep con
cerns many lawmakers have
long had over Trump’s com
ments about Mueller’s inves
tigation. Trump has called
the probe a “hoax” and lev
eled personal criticism at the
former FBI director. Those
concerns were only ampli
fied after Trump appointed
Whitaker as acting attorney
general.
Whitaker is now oversee
ing the probe, which had
previously been overseen
by Deputy Attorney General
Rod Rosenstein. Rosenstein
told Congress that he saw no
reason to fire Mueller.
Sessions had recused him
self from overseeing Muel
ler because he worked on
Trump’s campaign, which
infuriated Trump.
Several other
Republicans have
said they would vote
for the bill. They
include Senate Judi
ciary Committee
Chairman Chuck
Grassley, Maine Sen.
Susan Collins and the
legislation’s GOP co
sponsors, South Carolina Sen.
Lindsey Graham and North
Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis.
Democrats, who will take
the House majority in Janu
ary, have also said shield
ing Mueller’s investigation
will be one of their top pri
orities. Along with Senate
Democratic leader Chuck
Schumer, they have called
for the special counsel bill
to be added to a year-end
spending bill that must pass
in December to avoid a par
tial government shutdown.
The bipartisan legisla
tion to protect Mueller was
approved by the Senate Judi
ciary Committee in April. It
would give special counsel a
10-day window to seek expe
dited judicial review of a fir
ing and put into law existing
Justice Department regula
tions that a special counsel
can only be fired for good
cause.
Flake
White House believes it has
‘broad discretion’ on press access
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Presi
dent Donald Trump’s admin
istration contends it has
“broad discretion” to regu
late press access to the White
House as it fends off a legal
challenge from CNN and
other outlets over the revoca
tion of journalist Jim Acosta’s
“hard pass.”
In a legal filing ahead of
a Wednesday hearing on
CNN’s request for a tem
porary restraining order to
restore Acosta’s access, the
government argues it “was
lawful” to punish Acosta for
his behavior during a conten
tious Trump press confer
ence last week.
It rejects the idea that
Acosta was “otherwise eligi
ble” for White House access,
saying: “The President and
his designees in the White
House Press Office have
exercised their discretion not
to engage with him and, by
extension, to no longer grant
him on-demand access to the
White House complex so that
he can attempt to interact
with the President or White
House officials.”
Trump himself, in an
interview published Wednes
day, was uncertain how the
court fight would end, say
ing, “We’ll see how the court
rules. Is it freedom of the
press when somebody comes
in and starts screaming ques
tions and won’t sit down?”
Trump told The Daily
Caller that “guys like Acosta”
were “bad for the country.
... He’s just an average guy
who’s a grandstander who’s
got the guts to stand up and
shout.”
The White House’s expla
nations for why it seized
Acosta’s “hard pass,” which
grants reporters as-needed
access to the 18-acre com
plex, have shifted over the
last week. Acosta has repeat
edly clashed with Trump and
press secretary Sarah Hucka-
bee Sanders in briefings over
the last two years.
The Associated Press
joined with a group of 12
other news organizations
planning to file an amicus
brief in the case Wednesday.
“Whether the news of the
day concerns national secu
rity, the economy, or the
environment, reporters cov
ering the White House must
remain free to ask questions.
It is imperative that indepen
dent journalists have access
to the President and his
activities, and that journalists
are not barred for arbitrary
reasons,” the law firm Bal
lard Spahr said in a state
ment on behalf of the news
organizations.
Fox News President Jay
Wallace said Secret Service
passes for working White
House journalists “should
never be weaponized.” Fox
News was one of the organi
zations in the amicus filing.
Wallace said while Fox
News doesn’t condone the
“growing antagonistic tone
by both the president and the
press at recent media avails,”
it supports “access and open
exchanges for the American
people.”

Hemp Gummies
Shown To Relieve
Discomfort
Hemp Gummies offer users fast acting
relief from joint and muscle discomfort
that’s absolutely delicious; now available
in the U.S. without a prescription
A GUMMY A DAY TO KEEP ALL YOUR ACHES AWAY: Hemp
Gummies a 5 milligram dose of Hemp Extract that works all
day to keep you comfortable.
Chris Laufstein
Associated Health Press
BOSTON — For millions
battling daily discomfort,
this news couldn’t be
more exciting.
A new relief extract
found in hemp is available
across the nation and can
be purchased without a
prescription.
And the best part, it
comes to users in the
form of a tasty gummy
bear.
So you can say goodbye
to pills, needles, and
creams!
Hemp Gummies,
contains pure
concentrated doses of
hemp extract, which
can help relieve joint
discomfort along with
general muscle aches and
soreness.
It also calms, relaxes,
and eases tension all over
the body.
Exciting new scientific
research shows that hemp
extract contains special
relief molecules called
cannabinoids which bind
to receptor cites in the
brain and body. When
taken orally, hemp extract
activates these receptors,
and soothing comfort
begins to take form.
Available Across
the Nation
Recent developments,
like the US Farm Bill,
allow Hemp Gummies to
be sold in the U.S. without
a prescription. And since
it can’t get you high it’s
flying off the shelves.
“Most people have
no idea that pure hemp
extract, like Hemp
Gummies, can be
purchased. And that’s
because it contains no
THC,” explains Dr. Joe
Wezensky, who sits on
the scientific board at
Medici Quest.
“Instead, it’s bursting
with special relief
compounds called
cannabinoids. These
cannabinoids target
special receptor cites all
over the body but are
most prominent in the
brain.”
“This system of can
nabinoids and the recep
tors that they bind to are
called the Endocannabi-
noid System and science
is just now unlocking its
amazing medical poten
tial”
“In fact, the initial re
search has been so im
pressive that hemp ex
tract is now patented by
the US Government (pat
ent #6,630,507).”
“It’s also being used by
athletes in the NFL, MMA
among other physically
demanding sports as a
safe alternative.”
Clearing Up
the Confusion
Around Hemp
One of the biggest
mistakes people make
when talking about hemp
extract is mixing it up
with marijuana.
Although the two fall
under the same plant
category, cannabis sativa,
they have completely
different effects on the
body.
Remarkably, hemp
extract is available in
the U.S. and can’t get
you high (ever!). That’s
because there is no THC
in it, the chemical that
makes you feel “buzzed”.
“Although you
can’t get high from
Hemp Gummies, you
can start feeling the
effective relief,” explains
Wezensky.
“Most people have
very low cannabinoid
levels, which is why
they constantly ache.
Hemp Gummies boosts
cannabinoid levels
extremely fast, helping
relieve lingering joint
discomfort ...muscle
tension...and general
soreness. It also eases
stress and elicits amazing
relaxation without feeling
impaired. And what
most people really love is
they’re delicious and so
easy to take on the go.
How it Works
Clinical studies show
that cannabinoids and the
receptors that they bind
to are found all over your
body.
However, they are
most concentrated in
your brain. That’s why
it has such a profound
impact on how you feel,
especially your level of
comfort.
These cannabinoids
and their receptors work
like “lock and key”
and bind to each other
triggering important
biological processes.
Hemp Extract, like
Hemp Gummies, may
help users with...
• Aching joints
• Sore muscles
• Cramping
• Leg and foot
discomfort
• Restlessness
• Stress
• Sleep problems
Keeps Your
Body Balanced...
The incredible impact
cannabinoids have on
your health is directly
related to the primary goal
of your Endocannabinoid
System, which is to
maintain a balance in the
body, a physiological state
known as homeostasis.
Research shows that
maintaining this balance
is a key to vitality and
healthy bodily function.
The cannabinoids
found in Hemp Gummies,
hemp extract, replenish
your levels quickly, easing
discomfort over the entire
body.
Plus, by keeping
your body in balance
(homeostasis), Hemp
Gummies also helps
to relieve stress and
tension...improve sleep...
and even promote
relaxation and calmness.
Not Yet Sold
in Stores
Hemp extract
that is derived from
industrial hemp, like
Hemp Gummies, is
available nationwide.
However, several
major pharmaceutical
companies are currently
testing hemp extract in
clinical settings, which
means it may require a
prescription in the future.
It’s advised to get Hemp
Gummies while you can.
Taking All the
Risk Off Consumers
A large percentage
of men and women
using Hemp Gummies
experience truly amazing
results. That’s why it’s
now being sold with a
guarantee that goes way
beyond the industry
standard.
“We can only make
this guarantee because
we are 100% certain
our customers will be
satisfied, ” says Wezensky.
We want to take full
risk off consumers. So
in addition to offering
substantial discounts for
first time customers, we

promise that ensures they
don’t have to risk a cent.”
