Alaska Hunter Who Killed Cubs in Bear Den Gets 3 Months in Jail – The New York Times

Prosecutors said the recovered video footage showed the Renners butchering the mother bear and taking the remains away in bags.

Michael Cohen delays congressional testimony, citing threats from President Trump – Los Angeles Times

Trump has previously suggested that investigators look into Cohen’s family. “Watch father-in-law!” he tweeted last week. Trump told Fox News on Jan. 12 that Cohen was lying about him to get a reduced sentence. “But he should give information maybe on his father-in-law, because that’s the one that people want to look at,” he said. In response, top Democrats issued a statement warning about the president’s comments. “Our nation’s laws prohibit efforts to discourage, intimidate or otherwise pressure a witness not to provide testimony to Congress,” said Cummings, Schiff and Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. Giuliani said Trump’s comments did not represent an attempt to obstruct a congressional investigation. “It’s defending yourself,” he said on CNN.

Opinion | A Country Humming With Violence – The New York Times

State television, from which a significant number of Poles get their news, consistently smears, in aggressive and defamatory language, the political opposition and anyone who thinks differently from the ruling party. The murdered mayor had been called a thief, a German, a homophile and a Mafioso. Furthermore, television propaganda has repudiated the justice system for the past three years, calling it harmful for citizens, in need of a complete changing of the guard; judges are accused of being a caste above the law. From his jail cell, this man would have seen precisely these messages, of bad guys and the necessity of radical solutions.

The Cold War was waged over Russia’s desire for an expanded political role among world superpowers through a build up of nuclear weapons and the coercion of witting partners. After three decades of decline, Putin has put them back at the main table with Trump as his wing man.
