LEGAL VIEW WITH ASHLEIGH BANFIELD
Donald Trump Staffers Meet with Capitol Hill Lawmakers; Clinton and Sanders to Debate Before Crucial New York Primary; Corey Lewandowski Not to Be Prosecuted. Aired 12:30-1p ET
Aired April 14, 2016 - 12:30 ET
BERMAN: Just about one hour from now, a county prosecutor in Florida will hold a news conference regarding Donald Trump's campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski.
BOLDUAN: Now sources familiar with the case say Lewandowski will not be prosecuted for battery after this incident with former Breitbart reporter, Michelle Fields. Fields said Lewandowski grabbed her yank her away from Trump as she was trying to Trump a asking some question. Now what does this all mean.
Let's bring in CNN Legal Analyst defense attorney Danny Cevallos. He's here with us. So Danny, you are not surprised that they are not going to be moving ahead with this, why?
DANNY CEVALLOS, CNN LEGAL ANALYST: Not at all surprised. Even though the elements of a battery were probably met under the Florida statute, which really only requires an intentional touching without consent, the reality is, once you step away from the law books, is that this is not the kind of case that a prosecutor in Florida or anywhere else is going to be interested in taking to trial.
There was, as -- this is unusual in the sense that there was a ton of evidence. There's video evidence, audio evidence, there is witness testimony. And you usually don't have that in the typical battery case which is often he said, he said, or he said, she said. But that being said when you look at this evidence, a Florida prosecutor, like anywhere else, has much more serious battery cases on their play. And in the spectrum of batteries that criminal defense attorneys and prosecutors see, this is simply on the lowest end of that spectrum?
BERMAN: What about a possible civil case for Michelle Fields, maybe, you know, a defamation suit or something?
CEVALLOS: Again, technically where there is civil battery. And technically, it almost the same thing an intentional touching without consent. But the real question is, personal injury cases, tort cases, are driven by damages. What are her damages?
Now, a creative person could say, well, maybe she lost her job. Maybe this, maybe that. But as an attorney, a law firm, somebody else, are they going to invest their resources in a case like this, where the damages are simply that I was touched and it was without my consent? You have no medical injuries. You have no real compensable damages. Other than some alleged bruising. Which, of course, has some value.
[12:55:08] The question is, who is really interested in pursuing that as a tort case?
BOLDUAN: Danny, it's great to see you. Thank you very much for laying it out for us. Really appreciate it.

Ten years ago I had a comfy $80,000 a year job at Microsoft that included a lot more than just an $80,000 a year paycheck and I was miserable because something just wasn't right.
Now I really really really hate life. I hate life a hell of lot more than I did back then. I enjoyed my job but I was miserable. Now I am beyond that kind of miserable. At least back then I had hope that I could win against that racket. Now I see there are no winners in the racket they have created.
But without a doubt if I had stayed there I would have never put as much effort into what I am doing now as I was back then. I was trying back then but maybe only 1% effort compared to now. I did some really smart stuff back then though. AND THEY KNOW IT!!!!

Coercion
Coercion
the use of express or implied threats of violence or reprisal (as discharge from employment) or other intimidating behavior that puts a person in immediate fear of the consequences in order to compel that person to act against his or her will
1: the act of compelling by force of authority 2: using force to cause something
Laura Longcore was very clear when I told her that something was wrong at Microsoft that I needed to quit talking. For instance, earlier I had complained to her that Microsoft was overcharging customers with the Microsoft Premier service contracts. A standard service contract included 4 annual subscriptions to the software package Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) and it was a popular feature of the contracts among my customers. I pointed out to her that she was not offering the renewal discount of $500 per subscription. I estimated that Microsoft Premier was overcharging its customers by at least one million dollars per year. I expected an immediate correction to that policy because Microsoft Premier Support for Developers was marketed as a service that was supposed to save these customers money. But yet, if those same customers went to another Microsoft website and purchased the MSDN separately, they could get a $500 discount for each subscription. We added absolutely no value for the extra $500. I thought it was just a simple oversight that would be quickly corrected. It was also the kind of suggestion I thought she would appreciate. Not much earlier, she had given me the so-called "Bulldog Award," the second I had received in that group, and referred to me as a "rising star." I was also one of the lowest-level persons, in terms of pay grade, so I expected to at least receive a promotion for my due diligence. Instead, she told me to keep my mouth shut. I put in my notice after that and quit about 2.5 weeks later. I was hoping she would tell me that they were going to make the necessary corrections and I then would not have quit. I felt like I had a future at Microsoft.

http://www.who.int/csr/disease/ebola/ebola-6-months/guinea/en/
World Health Organization
Ground zero in Guinea: the outbreak smoulders – undetected – for more than 3 months
A retrospective on the first cases of the outbreak
Ebola at 6 months
On 26 December 2013, a 2-year-old boy in the remote Guinean village of Meliandou fell ill with a mysterious illness characterized by fever, black stools, and vomiting. He died 2 days later. Retrospective case-finding by WHO would later identify that child as West Africa’s first case of Ebola virus disease. The circumstances surrounding his illness were ominous.
The forest background
During the country’s long years of civil unrest, natural resources were exploited by mining and timber companies. The ecology in the densely-forested area changed. Fruit bats, which are thought by most scientists to be the natural reservoir of the virus, moved closer to human settlements.
Hunters, who depend on bushmeat for their food security and survival, almost certainly slaughtered infected wild animals – most likely monkeys, forest antelope, or squirrels. (WHO investigations into the origins of previous Ebola outbreaks have often found dead primates and other wild animals in jungles and forests). The wives of the hunters prepared the meat for family meals.
Though no one knew it at the time, the Ebola virus had found a new home in a highly vulnerable population.
Meliandou is located in what is today designated as the outbreak’s “hot zone”: a triangle-shaped forested area where the borders of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone converge. All three countries were deeply impoverished, and their health infrastructures severely damaged, during years of civil unrest.
Poverty is pervasive. Large numbers of people do not have steady, salaried employment. Their quest to find work contributes to fluid population movements across extremely porous borders – a dream situation for a highly contagious virus.
Following the young boy’s death, the mysterious disease continued to smoulder undetected, causing several chains of deadly transmission.
Unclear beginnings
Later – in May this year – after the causative agent had been identified, a retrospective WHO investigation of that earliest event, headed by the Organization’s senior Ebola expert, Dr Pierre Formenty, traced the first 14 cases in great detail.
As Dr Formenty observed, these first cases yielded no strong or convincing hints, either from clinical features of the illness or the pattern of its transmission, of just what the causative agent might be, especially in a country with so much background noise from multiple other killer diseases.
But it was deadly, for sure: all 14 patients died, most within days after symptom onset. High-risk exposures were apparent (caring for a sick relative, preparing a body for burial, or delivering a baby) but again yielded no decisive clues. Alarm bells might have gone off had any doctor or health official in the country ever seen a case of Ebola. No one had. No alarm bells rang for the government or, for that matter, for the international public health community either.
As Dr Formenty noted, no one unfamiliar with the Ebola virus could have guessed so early on that this might be the cause. The WHO investigation also revealed a feature that would become a major driving force as the outbreaks in Guinea and elsewhere evolved: the very rapid movement of people from villages to Guinea’s capital and across the border into Sierra Leone. In an ominous hint of what would come, one of these first cases died in Sierra Leone.
The villagers were frightened and baffled. Their doctors were, too. The area is notorious for outbreaks of cholera and many other infectious diseases. Though cases of malaria have dropped in recent years, that disease remains the country’s most persistent and prevalent killer. Health authorities were on high alert but the causative agent still eluded them, camouflaged by early symptoms that mimic those of many other endemic diseases. Meanwhile the outbreak continued to spread, its causative agent still hidden.
Virus on the move
Further retrospective investigations by WHO revealed how the earliest Meliandou cluster of cases ignited spread of the virus to other places. Chains of transmission that began with the illness and death of two midwives put more villages in crisis mode.
Cases began to appear at a hospital in Gueckedou – a city in the same hot zone. At that hospital, the initial suspicions of the attending physicians focused on cholera. Of the nine patient samples tested for cholera, seven came back positive. It didn’t look exactly like cholera, but the tests used were sensitive and specific, and – once again – Ebola eluded detection.
As the investigation continued, links began to emerge between mysterious deaths in different locations. The dots of hotspots were becoming connected. Some single pathogen was likely at work, but which one?
Fortunately, staff from Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) were already in the country, responding to a serious malaria outbreak. Later, MSF doctors would quickly shift gears to manage clinical care for the swelling number of Ebola patients.
By early March, Guinea’s health officials, MSF staff and WHO knew something strange and very worrisome was going on, but no one knew exactly what. More than three months after that end-December death, Ebola was nowhere on the radar screen of suspects for mysterious deaths in West Africa.
Deeply worried, MSF sent a report in mid-March to one of its most experienced and intuitive disease detectives at its office in Geneva. That expert immediately suspected a haemorrhagic fever, possibly caused by the Marburg virus (the largest-ever outbreak occurred in Angola in 2004–2005), or even Ebola – an unheard event for this part of the world.
Diagnosis
The Ministry of Health sent samples to the Institut Pasteur in Paris. The first news was shocking: the causative agent was indeed the Ebola virus. Who could ever have guessed that such a notorious disease, previously confined to Central Africa and Gabon, would crop up in another distant part of the continent? The news from subsequent virological analyses was even worse: this was Ebola Zaire, the most lethal in the family of five distinct Ebola species.
WHO published the official notification of Ebola on its website on 23 March. By that time, WHO had already shipped supplies of personal protective equipment to Conakry and activated its state-of-the-art centre for real-time outbreak tracking and response. The first medical teams, under the WHO Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) umbrella, were on the ground by 25 March.
Relentless spread
In the meantime, the virus had continued its relentless spread. The bad news got even worse as the virus successfully marched into Conakry and the first cases – which multiplied quickly – were confirmed there on 27 March. In Conakry and elsewhere, new cases hit like sparks from a fire landing on dry grass.
The brushfire had begun. By that time, flare-ups, as new transmission chains were ignited, could no longer be stamped out, even as foreign medical teams from the WHO GOARN umbrella and other partners continued to pour in.
The pattern that followed was heart-breaking as the all-out national and international response escalated and pressure to stop the virus became increasingly intense. On at least three occasions, prospects for nationwide control looked good and the countdown for a case-free 21-day incubation period began.
Breaths were held as Guinea looked ready to enter the second 21-day Ebola-free period required before WHO can declare the end of an Ebola outbreak. On each occasion, vigilance eased and the sense of emergency lapsed as local health officials assumed the outbreak was over.
The country never made it. As the deadline approached, cases suddenly flared up again in previously controlled villages and cities. In other instances, the virus marched on to infect previously untouched areas.
A regional challenge
Some observers have speculated that these tragic up-and-down cycles of apparent control followed by flare-ups demonstrate just how strong this Ebola Zaire virus has become. More likely, these events represent re-introductions of the virus into Guinea – with its notoriously porous borders – from the large outbreaks in neighbouring Liberia and Sierra Leone.
This more realistic explanation strongly suggests that control in Guinea will not be feasible until the Ebola caseload in its neighbours goes down. On current trends, the prospects that this will happen anytime in the near future are distinctly not good at all.
The fear factor
Today, one of the biggest barriers to control is violence from an impoverished, terrified and shattered population that does not understand what hit it and fights back the only way it can.
Last week, health workers in several parts of the country were viciously attacked by angry mobs, forcing some medical teams to flee for their lives. One team hid in the bush for more than a day. Others saw their vehicles vandalized and their medicines and equipment collected and publicly burned, as though such acts might work as a “cleansing” ritual.

Windows 98
Released on June 25, 1998, Microsoft called Windows 98 the first version of Windows designed specifically for consumers. Windows 98 was also the last version based on MS-DOS.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_98
Windows 98
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Windows 98 (codenamed Memphis) is a graphical operating system by Microsoft. It is the second major release in the Windows 9x line of operating systems and the successor to Windows 95. It was released to manufacturing on May 15, 1998 and to retail on June 25, 1998.
Like its predecessor, Windows 98 is a hybrid 16-bit/32-bit monolithic product with an MS-DOS based boot stage.
Press demonstration
The release of Windows 98 was preceded by a notable press demonstration at COMDEX in April, 1998. Microsoft CEO Bill Gates was highlighting the operating system's ease of use and enhanced support for Plug and Play (PnP). However, when presentation assistant Chris Capossela hot plugged a USB scanner in, the operating system crashed, displaying a Blue Screen of Death. Gates remarked after derisive applause and cheering from the audience, "That must be why we're not shipping Windows 98 yet." Video footage of this event became a popular Internet phenomenon.

Mr. President, Please: Learn From Dukakis’ Worst Political Blunder
10/01/2010 12:02 pm ET Updated May 25, 2011
SaraKay Smullens
Family therapist and educator
I remember the event, a presidential debate, like it was yesterday. The date, October 13, 1988. Susan Estrich, Michael Dukasis’ campaign manager, knew that Dukasis was vulnerable due to his opposition to the death penalty. This vulnerability was intensified because while governor he supported a controversial prison furlough program. During his second term William “Willie” Norton, a convicted first degree murderer, committed a rape and assault in Maryland.
Estrich made sure that Dukakis was carefully prepped to show his empathy for crime victims, noting that his brother had been killed by a hit and run driver and his dad had been beaten in a robbery.
But Dukakis was broadsided when CNN moderator Bernard Shaw approached this vulnerability in an unexpected way. “Governor,” Shaw asked, “if Kitty Dukakis (the governor’s wife) were raped and murdered, would you favor an irrevocable death penalty for the killer?”
There have been many words (some kinder than others) to describe Dukakis’ response: “No, I don’t, and I think you know that I’ve opposed the death penalty during all of my life.” Perhaps there is validity in the criticism many directed toward Shaw, accusing him of injecting an unfair scenario into a policy discussion. Regardless, all I know is that when I heard Dukasis’ words, my brain red flagged, and my heart sank. For the candidate, in his response, came across as robotic, uncaring, and devoid of emotion. That night Dukakis’ poll numbers dropped from 49% to 42%.
On that fateful evening the candidate spoke only with his brain, and he completely disregarded his heart. This catastrophe would have been avoided had he said something like: “Barnard, I would want to murder, to torture, to rip from limb to limb anyone who even dared to hurt my wife or child. But, you see, with all of my heart, I want laws to protect me from the worst of me.”
Fast forward to today, 22 years later, a time when we have candidates winning primaries by effectively capitalizing on frustration and fear. And these folks are good at what they do because they come across as if they care. In politics, however, true caring, so necessary in building consensus and healing divisions, involves the ability to know how to think clearly, and use this to speak from the heart. The policies of those capitalizing on legitimate terrors would take us back to a repeat of the malignancies and turmoil that Barack Obama inherited. At best, this is a totally misguided group.
As I write this, I look at a letter hanging on my office wall from President Obama, thanking my husband and me for working so hard for him.

Colonel Curtis: Those poor schmucks... they drive Chevrolets, shop at Wal-Mart, never miss an episode of Friends. These are Americans. The idea of slaughtering Americans... it just turns my stomach.

jinni
jinni, plural Jinn, also called Genie, Arabic Jinni, in Arabic mythology, a supernatural spirit below the level of angels and devils. Ghul (treacherous spirits of changing shape), ifrit (diabolic, evil spirits), and si la (treacherous spirits of invariable form) constitute classes of jinn. Jinn are beings of flame or air who are capable of assuming human or animal form and are said to dwell in all conceivable inanimate objects—stones, trees, ruins—underneath the earth, in the air, and in fire. They possess the bodily needs of human beings and can even be killed, but they are free from all physical restraints. Jinn delight in punishing humans for any harm done them, intentionally or unintentionally, and are said to be responsible for many diseases and all kinds of accidents; however, those human beings knowing the proper magical procedure can exploit the jinn to their advantage.
Belief in jinn was common in early Arabia, where they were thought to inspire poets and soothsayers. Even Muhammad originally feared that his revelations might be the work of jinn. Their existence was further acknowledged in official Islam, which indicated that they, like human beings, would have to face eventual salvation or damnation. Jinn, especially through their association with magic, have always been favourite figures in North African, Egyptian, Syrian, Persian, and Turkish folklore and are the centre of an immense popular literature, appearing notably in The Thousand and One Nights.
