“Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high.” (Sunshine On My Shoulders/John Denver)
Federal "Sunshine Act" (The Government in the Sunshine Act is a U.S. law passed in 1976)
requires meetings of bodies that head federal agencies to be open. The Sunshine Act states that “every portion of every meeting of an agency shall be open to public observation.” This mandate applies to the collegial bodies that head up federal government agencies. Sunshine laws are regulations requiring transparency and disclosure in government or business. Sunshine laws make meetings, records, votes, deliberations, and other official actions available for public observation, participation, and/or inspection.
Any White House or Treasury involvement with the Postal Service would be a breach of its charter as an independent, nonpolitical public entity,
Because Mnuchin's meetings were private one-on-one discussions, they were not subject to the Government in the Sunshine Act, which requires that federal agency meetings be disclosed to the public. Yet many on the board were aware of the get-togethers, one person said. Mnuchin was requesting briefings before a decision was made, which the person called "unusual." There was also a discussion with Mnuchin about the "need to move quickly" on a selection, the person said. (Heidi Przybla)
Konstantin Kilimnik an associate of then-Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, was a “Russian intelligence officer.” It also says Manafort was meeting regularly and sharing information with Kilimnik, including internal Trump campaign polling data. Kilimnik and Manafort may have had some link to the Russian operation to steal and leak Democratic emails. Trump further claimed that he had "no recollection of the specifics of any conversations I had with Mr. Stone between June 1, 2016, and November 8, 2016." Despite Trump's recollection, the report says, “the Committee assesses that Trump did, in fact, speak with Stone about WikiLeaks and with members of his Campaign about Stone's access to WikiLeaks on multiple occasions.” At least two participants in the June 9, 2016 meeting between Trump campaign officials and Russians in the Trump Tower had “significant connections to the Russian government, including Russian intelligence services… far more extensive than what had been publicly known.”(Ken Dilanian)
“If I had a tale that I could tell you
I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile
If I had a wish that I could wish for you
I'd make a wish for sunshine for all the while.”(Sunshine On My Shoulders/John Denver)
The sun has set in Washington DC. Tales of truth are now nothing but shadows stuffed in the dark recesses of mismanaged and mangled, malignant closets and corners of cubby holes filled with cobwebs and conspiracy! Lies that Trump and the Russian’s never colluded, lies of Trump and his clown Stevie Mnuchin and DeJoy’s innocence in dismantling the Postal Service, lies regarding any attempt for Trump to encourage the end of a Pandemic, will not be seen today, nor tomorrow. Sunshine has been discontinued and all we have is to trip and fall all over ourselves trying to find the one light bulb in November and have some brightness on our shoulders!
