Milk it...

More than 16 months ago, Stormy Daniels signed a confidentiality agreement that prohibited her from discussing her alleged affair with Donald Trump. Or his business. Or his children. Or his “alleged children.”   Under the agreement, Daniels couldn’t even keep a copy of the agreement. The penalty for defying these constraints? One million dollars each time.  That was then. 
Stormy's lawyer sent a letter asked that no action be taken to prevent the airing of an interview done for CBS 60 Minutes news program, and that she be free to talk and to “publish any materials, such as text messages, photos and/or videos relating to the president that she may have in her possession.”
CNN is really try to have some news. But that ain't.   

Peace...



Tillerson thanked the American people, his State Department staff and the nation's extensive network of diplomats in his farewell statement. 
Tillerson mentioned that the President called him "a little after noontime from Air Force One" to talk about his ouster. 
Opinion:
This guy was a great Secretary of State. He didn't start a war in the Middle East. He didn't sent weapon to some fractions to overthrow regime somewhere.
He worked tirelessly to achieve an agreement with North Korea. He was for Peace and he achieved it.

New York Sen. Chuck Schumer said he was “caught off guard” after Bharara, known for crusading against public corruption, was forced out of office.  “I was extremely surprised and disappointed."

“The president’s decision to change his mind and fire Preet says far more about the president than it does about Preet.”   Schumer would not speculate on why Bharara, who previously served as Schumer’s general counsel, was fired.
“He did an amazing job in so many different areas.”  “He will be sorely missed.”

As was the case in prior transitions, many of the United States Attorneys nominated by the previous administration already have left the Department of Justice.

Caught off Guard?

The settlement between Johnson & Johnson ($JNJ) and the Justice dept. designed to resolve a probe of J&J's Risperdal marketing practices. The long-running investigation focused on potential off-label marketing of the antipsychotic drug and another psychopharmaceutical, Invega, the WSJ reports.
The deal would have included civil and criminal fines, plus a misdemeanor guilty plea.

Health and Human Services official expressed frustration with some companies' repeat violations--and said the government might turn to new punishments to help deter misbehavior.

At around $1 billion, the J&J deal wouldn't be record-setting; Pfizer ($PFE) agreed to pay $2.3 billion to wrap up off-label marketing allegations involving Bextra and a basket of other drugs, while Eli Lilly's ($LLY) Zyprexa settlement amounted to $1.4 billion.
