The New York attorney general, Eric Schneiderman, wants to amend the state's law to allow for the prosecution of people who have been pardoned by the president in federal investigations.
Currently, New York law has a "double jeopardy" clause which protects people from being tried for the same crimes more than once.
In other words, if someone is pardoned for a federal crime – like conspiracy, money laundering, or obstruction of justice – they cannot be tried for the same crime on a state level.
While it's unclear if Schneiderman's proposal will withstand legislative scrutiny, "given the situation staring at everyone with respect to Mueller's investigation and the real possibility of pardons, this is not a totally theoretical discussion," said one former federal prosecutor.
Eric Schneiderman, New York's attorney general, is asking the state's governor and legislature to approve a change to New York law that would allow for people who receive presidential pardons to be tried for those crimes under state law, The New York Times reported.
Schneiderman called the development "disturbing," saying it would undermine public confidence in the legal system. He added that he was also concerned that the "double-jeopardy" protection in New York law could shield individuals who have violated the state's legal code from having to stand trial if they are pardoned for those crimes on a federal level.
The special counsel Robert Mueller is currently investigating Russia's interference in the 2016 US election and whether the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow to tilt the race in his favor. Mueller is also looking into whether Trump sought to obstruct justice when he fired FBI director James Comey last year.
So far, Mueller has charged 19 people – 13 of whom are Russian nationals – as part of the investigation. Four of Trump's former associates have either been charged or have pleaded guilty and are cooperating with the special counsel.
Meanwhile, the US attorney's office for the Southern District of New York is conducting a separate criminal investigation into Trump's longtime personal lawyer and confidant, Michael Cohen. Cohen is reportedly being investigated for bank fraud, wire fraud, and violations of election law.
The SDNY is also investigating Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign chairman who has been indicted in the Russia probe, for possible money laundering.
Trump has repeatedly railed against Mueller, the Justice Department, and the FBI, calling the Russia investigation a politically motivated "witch hunt" and a "hoax." He also grew enraged last week after learning the FBI had raided Cohen's property and seized several devices, records, tape recordings, and documents, including communications between Trump and Cohen.
Schneiderman wrote that the country's founders argued that the pardon power would be used "by presidents with 'scrupulousness and caution.'" He suggested that while previous presidents used that power with caution, Trump may not.
It looks like Schneiderman is trying to "set the table" to prepare for possible moves on Trump's part to hamper the Russia probe and Cohen investigation, said Jeffrey Cramer, a former federal prosecutor who spent 12 years at the Justice Department.
That New York is the site of the proposal is significant as well.
Before he became president, Trump lived in New York, and his company, The Trump Organization, is anchored in Manhattan. Cohen also lives in the state and has an office at Trump Tower in Manhattan.
Cohen joined the Trump Organization in 2006 and left in 2017 to serve as Trump's personal lawyer. The Trump Organization has invited scrutiny for engaging in business dealings with shady characters in Azerbaijan, Georgia, Vancouver, Indonesia, Brazil, and more.
The building also used to be home to the office of Bayrock, a controversial real-estate investment firm that has been accused of financial crimes ranging from bank fraud to tax evasion to embezzlement.
The Russian-born businessman Felix Sater, who cofounded the firm, is a critical figure in the Russia probe and used to have standing meetings with Trump every week, Business Insider previously reported.
The Trump Organization and Bayrock also partnered up to develop a Trump Tower in SoHo before the Trump Organization mysteriously cut ties with the hotel near the end of last year.
Meanwhile, a USA Today investigation found that approximately 70% of buyers of Trump properties since June 2016 were limited-liability companies, compared with about 4% of buyers in the two years before.
And Manafort, who has been charged with dozens of financial crimes, is accused in Mueller's indictment of wiring $6.4 million from offshore accounts to purchase two New York properties – a condominium on Howard Street and a brownstone on Union Street – and a house in Arlington, Virginia.
Under current New York state law, the double jeopardy protection applies when a defendant pleads guilty or proceeds to a jury trial. In other words, if either of those things occur, a state cannot charge a defendant with the same crimes they were prosecuted for under federal law.
Schneiderman's letter notes that New York provides an exception to the double jeopardy protection in cases where a court nullifies a prior criminal proceeding.
"But there is no parallel exception for when the President effectively nullifies a federal criminal prosecution via pardon," Schneiderman wrote. "Thus, if a federal defendant pleads guilty to a federal crime, or if a jury is sworn in a federal criminal trial against that defendant, and then the President pardons that individual," New York's double jeopardy statute could be applied to protect the defendant from being tried for state crimes.
"Simply put, a defendant pardoned by the President for a serious federal crime could be freed from all accountability under federal and state criminal law, even though the President has no authority under the US Constitution to pardon state crimes," the letter said.
Reports first surfaced last year that the president has inquired about his power to pardon aides, family members, and even himself if need be.

Kenyans Place First in World Cross Country Championships
Japhet Korir of Kenya placed first in this year's World Cross Country Championships, held in Poland. (Google Images)
BBC Sport and the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) are reporting that 19-year-old Kenyan Japhet Korir won the World Cross Country Championships in Poland on March 24. Emily Chebet, also of Kenya, took gold in the women's race during the championships. Behind Korir's time at 33 minutes 45 seconds were reigning champion Imane Merga of Ethiopia in second and Teklemariam Medhin of Eritrea in third. Ethiopia's Hiwot Ayalew placed second behind Chebet in the women's competition.
The IAAF writes:
At 19 years and 266 days, Korir beat the former record for being a prodigious talent, which had be held by no less a figure than … Kenenisa Bekele after his win in the now defunct short course race in 2002, by 17 days.
However, Korir was lucky to be on the starting line in Bydgoszcz at all.
Kenyan selectors mulled over whether he was worth bringing to Poland after his sixth place at their own trials last month.
However, his form in training in the last four weeks convinced them that it was a gamble worth making and it paid off handsomely. On a day when … Kenya's other medal hopes in the senior men's race metaphorically and literally froze, he became his nation's fifth champion.

100TH ANNIVERSARY SCREENING
Andrew Rogers
4/34 Wurlitzer - Senate Theater
Senate Theater
Detroit Theatre Organ Society (affiliate)
Opus Number:
http://www.dtos.org
Organ History:
Opus 1953 was originally installed in the Fisher Theatre, Detroit MI. The organ was not a standard model, but was highly customized. The organ was built with several unique features including a Cor Anglais, a Harmonic Flute, a grand piano (not upright), and a console in highly ornate Mayan decor to match the theatre.
The organ was removed around 1960 during an extremely extensive remodelling of the theatre by George and C.W. Rapp -- their last major job. It was purchased by George Orbits. George and other local enthusiasts founded the Detroit Theatre Organ Club. The organ was installed first in the Iris Theatre in Detroit, and then shortly later in the Senate Theater, Detroit, where it remains today.
The organ is almost entirely original, and still runs on its electro-mechanical relay.

The Elephant and the Circus: The Rise of the Radical Right
Posted by Strommuse on November 22, 2015 November 23, 2015

Editor-in-Chief, International Relations & Economics Undergraduate Student
The politics of every country is capable of generating its own special, unique form of insanity when put under pressure. But today it seems only the nightmarish, never-ending spectacle of American politics is so absurd and offensive as to almost become a parody of itself. Donald Trump, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, and even the hapless Mr. Establishment Jeb Bush are ridiculed for their absurd policies and shameless fearmongering in the face of tragedy. And for those who prefer even conservative sanity to sensationalism, the stiff robotic Hillary Clinton provides little relief.
But in between the sarcastic jests and casual derision, a more sinister reality emerges.
But in between the sarcastic jests and casual derision, a more sinister reality emerges. This can be seen most clearly in the weary expectation that the American political scene is always just about to produce another clown or fiasco. Only in American politics, the rationale goes, can a major party's election cycle be led by a megalomaniacal uber-Capitalist, trailed by a pyramid scheme peddler and a dynast, and followed by a fiercely loyal media and a clown car of other various one–trick ponies.
But to mistake this as an inherent problem of American politics would be a grave mischaracterization of the current political spectacle. In reality, it is an outward projection of a struggle at the heart of government; a struggle being waged by the American Republican Party. This surprising conclusion is as true of the Republican Party's economic extremism as the questionable social crusades for which Republicans have routinely given a voice.
For much of the last eighty years, the Republican Party has been in retreat. With the onset of the Great Depression, left-leaning politicians dominated the landscape, controlling all of Congress directly for a span of almost thirty consecutive years, and reigning ideologically supreme with a more diverse coalition of interests all the way up until the Reagan Revolution in the 1980's. As Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders has wisely pointed out, this meant that even Republican candidates such as Eisenhower and Nixon held vastly more liberal dispositions during this time than would ever be recognizable to the modern Republican.
But to mistake this as an inherent problem of American politics would be a grave mischaracterization of the current political spectacle.
But today, the Republican Party faces a crisis of representation. No longer able to find consistent backing amongst the general electorate, they have instead been forced to campaign on spurious social issues or fearmongering amongst ill-informed voters in order to advance their agenda amongst those they cannot gerrymander out of electoral relevance. This, combined with the scattering of many of the progressive forces which used to power the Democratic establishment, has nonetheless at the surface given the GOP an aura of invincibility in the face of their recent successes in the post Citizens United Era.
But all is not as it appears. The resurgence of the GOP is as much a product of a Faustian pact for votes as an egregious rigging of the electoral game. Led by Newt Gingrich in the House during the Clinton administration, the Republican Party began an aggressive campaign to disparage the government in order to back their agenda. The logic of this Conservative agenda is quite simple, and helps the Republicans overcome their poor electoral representation: people won't vote for any party that empowers the government if the government isn't working.
But today, the Republican Party faces a crisis of representation.
No where is this more evident than in the inanity of daily barrage of Republican soundbites. The never ending stream of absurd allegations, ad hominems, and gross misrepresentations of facts play into a carefully constructed narrative to shield Republicans from accusations and present them as the white knights crusading against the very government which they helped poison.
The radicalism of the American government thus has two drivers: The first arises from the tactics of a radical fringe of the resurgent Republican Party desperate to control the government in full once again, led by the so called "Young Guns" like Paul Ryan. The second is the natural consequence of that very same political party desperately needing the votes of the radical yet vocal minority which has bought into their narrative of government dysfunction which they have an interest in perpetuating. Both are a result of a Republican Party which is so close to its goal of electoral dominance.
This attack on the government, like their undemocratic strategies, has dire consequences for American democracy. As American political commentator Thomas Mann of the Brookings Institute famously observed: "The Republican Party has become an insurgent outlier — ideologically extreme; contemptuous of the inherited social and economic policy regime; scornful of compromise; unpersuaded by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition."
This attack on the government, like their undemocratic strategies, has dire consequences for American democracy.
This should no longer surprise us. We can no longer meaningfully speak of the Elephant without the Circus which is at once an essential part of its political strategy yet increasingly veering out of control.
As much as we might wish to laugh off the circus, its very existence is no laughing matter.

Fly into Pristina airport at 6.00pm. The 45 minute ride to Hotel Parlament in the centre of Pristina costs only 13 euros. The hotel is clean and simple and 100 yards from the parliament building. The only thing that recalls the former Yugoslavia is the low wattage of the lighting- that, and the strong smell of wood smoke in the night air. It's thirty years since I was in this part of the world and this is my first visit to Kosovo.
Well, it got a whole lot worse before it got better.
From 1990, Serbia applied increasing pressure on the majority Albanian population in Kosovo. Albanian Kosovans lost their rights to education, welfare and to employment. In 1998, Milosevic, the president of Serbia, unleashed a bombing campaign with the strategic aim of taking over the entire state of Kosovo and making it part of a greater Serbia. During this time, a large number of Kosovan teenagers were sent to the UK or USA to work, safe from the extreme discrimination/apartheid that was now rife at home. Many 40 year olds that you meet now in Kosovo received their education in the houses of neighbours where teachers set up temporary schools because all Albanian secondary school pupils were banned from attending their now almost empty local schools. During the war, almost a million ethnic Albanians fled Kosovo. Britain under Tony Blair initiated the intervention that stopped the Serbs. To this day, Kosovans love and respect Britain and the USA for their part in the country's liberation. There is a boulevard named after Tony Blair and, nearby, a huge statue of Bill Clinton.
