PORTLAND, Ore.—A Beavercreek, Oregon man has been arrested and charged for discharging a firearm into the Hatfield Federal Courthouse on January 8, 2021, announced U.S. Attorney Billy J. Williams.

Cody Melby, 39, has been charged by criminal complaint with destruction of government property.

According to the complaint, at approximately 7:35pm on January 8, Melby allegedly jumped over a security fence at the Hatfield Courthouse and, using a 9mm handgun, fired several rounds into the building’s exterior. Two courthouse security officers exited the building and approached Melby after observing him on a closed-circuit security camera. Melby told the officers he had a gun and the officers placed him in handcuffs without further incident.

Federal Protective Service officers dispatched to the scene located five spent 9mm bullet casings, three spent bullets, three bullet holes in plywood affixed to the building’s stone columns, and damage to the metal soffit above the building’s main entrance.

Melby will make his first appearance in federal court today before a U.S. Magistrate Judge in Portland.

This case is being investigated by the Federal Protective Service and FBI. It is being prosecuted by Paul Maloney, Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon.

>Appellate Court Agrees with Government that Supervised Injection Sites are Illegal under Federal Law; Reverses District Court Ruling
In a precedential opinion, the Third Circuit ruled yesterday that it is a federal crime to open a supervised injection site or “consumption room” for illegal drug use. Local nonprofit Safehouse planned to open the nation’s first such consumption room in the City of Philadelphia, where individuals would be invited to inject heroin and use other drugs under supervision. But the Third Circuit ruled that doing so “will break the law” because Safehouse knows and intends that visitors to its consumption room will have a significant purpose of using illegal drugs. In agreeing with the government’s interpretation of the Controlled Substances Act, the Court explained that, “[t]hough the opioid crisis may call for innovative solutions, local innovations may not break federal law.”

“The Court’s decision re-affirms that ‘safe’ injection sites are a violation of federal law,” said Acting Attorney General Jeffrey A. Rosen. “The Department supports efforts to curb the opioid crisis ravaging this country, but injection sites are not the solution. There are more productive ways to address drug abuse, and today’s ruling by the Third Circuit has confirmed that these sites are illegal and therefore not the answer.”

Russia has dismissed the United States' latest bout of trying to link the al-Qaeda terrorist group and Iran without providing any proof as "absolutely" groundless.

"This is absolutely unsubstantiated and unreasonable. There is absolutely no information" supporting such a claim, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Zamir Kabulov said in a statement on Wednesday, Russia's Sputnik news agency reported.

On Tuesday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who has established himself as the most radical anti-Iran official within US President Donald Trump's now-outgoing administration, called Iran the terrorist group's "new home base" without producing any evidence. He made the remarks as part of, what he called, publicizing "declassified US intelligence," which — as in the case of Washington's other claims against Tehran — surprisingly lacked all "declassified proof."

>Emails from hard drive of Hunter Biden's laptop reveal illegal activity by former VP Biden

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/jan/10/joe-biden-missed-opportunities-learn-hunter-biden-/

Hunter Biden’s exploited laptop computer and other public disclosures show that President-elect Joseph R. Biden had at least 10 opportunities to know about his son’s extensive foreign cash flow.
The former vice president has said repeatedly that he never spoke about his son’s offshore income. The funds have included million-dollar payments from oligarchs in Moscow and Ukraine, a Kazakh investor and a Chinese tycoon with close ties to the Communist Party and People’s Liberation Army.
“I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” Mr. Biden said in 2019.
Asked during the presidential transition whether he still believes his son’s email-brimming laptop is part of a Russian plot, Mr. Biden said yes.
In their Sept. 23 Senate report, Republicans labeled Hunter Biden’s extensive foreign deals with unsavory people as “conflicts of interest.”
The Washington Times acquired a copy of the hard drive from a laptop computer that Hunter Biden left at a repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware, in April 2019 and never retrieved. More emails from other sources have emerged. Together with the Senate report, they show extensive financial networking between the Biden family and foreigners.
• Breitbart News cited newly disclosed emails by Bevan Cooney, a onetime Hunter Biden associate. They reveal how Hunter business partner Devon Archer arranged a November 2011 White House visit and meeting with Vice President Biden for a high-powered group of Chinese industrialists and communists. Cooney is serving a prison term in a fraud case that also ensnared Archer, who is due to be sentenced in federal court.
In 2011, Hunter Biden and Archer were seeking Chinese money for their various investments. Hunter Biden traveled to China twelve times from 2010 to 2016.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (CBSDFW.COM) – A woman has been arrested in connection to alleged election fraud and illegal voting, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Wednesday.

According to Paxton, Rachel Rodriguez of San Antonio was “exposed in a Project Veritas video” ahead of the 2020 election regarding vote harvesting and acknowledged what she was doing was illegal.

Rodriguez is accused of election fraud, illegal voting, unlawfully assisting people voting by mail and unlawfully possessing an official ballot, according to Paxton. She could face up to 20 years in prison if she is convicted.

KAMPALA (Reuters) - Uganda banned social media on Tuesday, two days ahead of a presidential election pitting Yoweri Museveni, one of Africa’s longest-serving leaders, against opposition frontrunner Bobi Wine, a popular singer.


In a letter seen by Reuters to internet service providers dated Jan. 12, Uganda’s communications regulator ordered them to block all social media platforms and messaging apps until further notice.

Internet monitor NetBlocks said its data showed that Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, Instagram, Skype, Snapchat, Viber and Google Play Store were among a lengthy list of sites unavailable via Uganda’s main cell network operators.

Campaigning ahead of the vote has been marred by brutal crackdowns on opposition rallies, which the authorities say break COVID-19 curbs on large gatherings. Rights groups say the restrictions are a pretext for muzzling the opposition.

At 38, Wine is half the age of President Yoweri Museveni and has attracted a large following among young people in a nation where 80% of the population are under 30, rattling the ruling National Resistance Movement party.

Wine is considered the frontrunner among 10 candidates challenging Museveni, the former guerrilla leader who seized power in 1986 and brought stability to a country after the murderous reigns of dictators Milton Obote and Idi Amin.

While security forces have intimidated the opposition at previous elections, the run up to this year’s vote has been especially violent. In November, 54 people were killed as soldiers and police quelled protests after Wine was detained.

Ghislaine Maxwell is appealing a judge's decision to deny her $28.5 million bail as she awaits trial for sex trafficking—in her third attempt to get out of prison.

The British socialite faces charges that she groomed girls for pedophile Jeffrey Epstein to abuse in a trial due to start in July. She denies the charges.

Maxwell was first denied bail over the summer when prosecutors told the Manhattan Federal Court she was a flight risk.

She made a renewed plea to be released from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, which was denied by Judge Alison Nathan just after Christmas.

Now The Guardian has reported that a notice of appeal has been posted on her behalf.

Two Maui Men Charged With Hate Crimes For Racially Motivated Attack

A federal grand jury in Honolulu, Hawaii, returned an indictment charging Kaulana Alo Kaonohi and Levi Aki, Jr. with a hate crime for their racially motivated attack on a Caucasian man who was attempting to move into the defendants’ Native Hawaiian neighborhood of Kahakuloa on Maui.

The indictment was announced today by Acting Assistant Attorney General John B. Daukas for the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, U.S. Attorney Kenji M. Price for the District of Hawaii, and FBI Honolulu Special Agent in Charge Eli S. Miranda.

The indictment alleges that, on Feb. 13, 2014, Kaonohi and Aki willfully caused bodily injury to C.K., and attempted to cause bodily injury to C.K. through the use of a dangerous weapon (a shovel), because of C.K.’s actual and perceived race and color.

The maximum penalty for the charged crime is 10 years of imprisonment. An indictment is merely an accusation, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.

The FBI conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Thomas of the District of Hawaii is prosecuting the case in partnership with Special Litigation Counsel Christopher J. Perras and Trial Attorney Tara Allison of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division.

WASHINGTON - A 15-year veteran of the U.S. Capitol Police has taken his life after responding to Wednesday's deadly riot in the halls of Congress.

Howard Liebengood was 51 years old and jewish.

It's the second life lost in four days for Capitol Police following the death of Officer Brian Sicknick, another jewish officer who suffered injuries during the Capitol riot.

Four other people, including an unarmed Trump supporter, died after Wednesday's storming of the Capitol during a congressional hearing certifying Joe Biden's election victory.

Sources say Liebengood was off-duty when he died Saturday.

"Every Capitol Police Officer puts the security of others before their own safety and Officer Liebengood was an example of the selfless service that is the hallmark of USCP," Capitol Police Union Chairman Gus Papathanasiou said in a statement. "This is a tragic day."

Liebengood joined the force in 2005 and was assigned to the Senate division.
