Mr. Burnstein said Mrs. Clinton was probably drawn to the firm by its civil rights work and not by the left-wing politics of its partners, though she expressed no disquiet about that. "There was nothing revolutionary about Hillary, and I do not say that pejoratively," he said. "She was much more of a classic liberal than the rest of us."
Mr. Burnstein said he also detected a clear change in Mrs. Clinton's political outlook after she faced real-world campaigning with her husband. "The Hillary that clerked for us that summer is not the Hillary that ran for the Senate and is not the Hillary that was in the White House for eight years. The politics were noticeably different," Mr. Burnstein said. "The Hillary of 1971 was much more idealistic and progressive in the sense we would use the term today than the Hillary we saw after her exposure to politics in Arkansas."

"It was sort of a left-wing firm," Walker said, but most of the lawyers were not communists. To dredge it up now, she said, amounts to little more than red-baiting.
In his biography of Clinton, former Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein states that at Treuhaft's firm, "she would be working for one of the most important radical law practices on the West Coast, celebrated for its defense of constitutional rights, civil liberties and leftist causes." Bernstein quotes Treuhaft as saying, "The reason she came to us, the only reason I could think of because none of us knew her, was because we were a so-called Movement law firm at the time."
It doesn't say so in Morris' article, but in his 2004 book, Rewriting History, — an acerbic rebuttal to Hillary Clinton's autobiography, Living History — Morris notes that, for the record, he doesn't think Clinton is a Communist and that he doesn't mean to imply that because she worked at the law firm she was.
No, no, of course not.
"But the fact that she chose this job out of all the summer jobs that might have been available, traveling 3,000 miles for it, tells something about her orientation at the time," Morris wrote. "Just as the fact that she does not describe the firm's work or reputation says something about her today."

We were going to talk about your being on the licensing board for funeral directors.
Treuhaft
Oh, yes. That was when Jerry Brown [Edmund G. Brown, Jr.] became governor. Of course, a great change took place for us who had left-wing backgrounds because that sort of thing never troubled Jerry. He was terrifically interested in developing a strong consumer affairs department; and the head of it at the time I was appointed was Rose Bird. She was the head of the government branch under which consumer affairs operated, and I understand that she was one of the people who suggested my name.

Treuhaft
I think that's of some interest. As left-wing lawyers, we always suspected — me and my partners — that we were struggling in court and in dealing with judges who generally were very, very conservative, former prosperous lawyers and that sort of thing; ― 119 ― that we were swimming against the tide, and that we had to do better than other people did in order to get the same results. We could never prove that. Some judges, of course, were out and out, were pretty obviously politically prejudiced, part of the cold-war anti-communism. But it was very hard to prove. We could tell when other lawyers were, but the judges find it easy to maintain an appearance of judicial restraint.
There was a judge out in Hayward Municipal Court, where we had a fair number of cases. His name was [Thomas L.] Foley. He was on the bench for a long time, and I found that I could do nothing wrong in his court. I would go there on cases that I was expecting to lose and I'd win them. I remember one case where I was suing, an ordinary automobile accident case defended by an insurance company lawyer. It was a jury trial, which I lost. I made a motion for a new trial on the ground of some really far-out judicial error, an error in the instructions. The judge granted me a hearing on it to my surprise, and at the hearing I came not too well prepared. I cited a case which had appeared recently in the advance sheets to support my position, but I didn't have the volume with me. The other attorney said, "Well, I don't know anything about that case." So Judge Foley says, "If Mr. Treuhaft says it, I believe him." And he granted me the new trial just off the bench.
He had done that a few times, and he also did it for my then partner, Ed Grogan [who] noticed that he was getting special treatment out there. And you can't help noticing that, it's so rare. Finally I was out there one time, and I had a talk with him. I said, "Look, I know it's dangerous of me to say this, but you do seem to be giving Ed Grogan the breaks that we never get in other courts, and me, too. Is that something I'm imagining?" He said, "No, it's not. I'll tell you this off the record. I meet with the other judges, and I hear them talking about you `Commie' lawyers so much, and I know that they're screwing you from time to time. I feel it's my obligation to make it up to you." [Laughter] I thought that was pretty marvelous.

So, with my partner, Aubrey Grossman, also a Communist at that time, we had a talk with Dellums and with Goodlett and said, "Look, here's a guy who we can't recommend terribly highly for intellect or anything else, but he will know who his friends are. If you can get the appointment, if you can talk to Rumford and have him get this guy appointed, he will pay you back. He'll be a friend in court. He'll appreciate the sponsorship. On the other hand, if you support the other guy, there's nothing in it for you." Well, they saw that immediately and they went to Rumford. Rumford, who hadn't met Louie at all, sponsored him and he was appointed. He got the first appointment.
Well, there was another case where it became embarrassing because whenever I appeared in his court, he couldn't do too much for me. In fact, he said, "Bob, I want you to come to me before you appear in my court to tell me what the case is about." [Laughter] And of course, I knew that this is the way other judges operate, and he wasn't more corrupt than the others. He was just being frank with me, and I was getting these little favors from him. He's dead now, I can talk about him, he was a very sweet guy

During that same summer, it was later discovered that Hillary penned a letter to controversial writer Saul Alinsky, who is known for his community organizing (considered extreme, by some measures) and his 1971 book, "Rules for Radicals." Hillary had also written her Wellesley College thesis on Alinsky and his views, and had met with him. The link between Hillary and Alinsky most recently became fodder for a speech by Ben Carson at last week's Republican National Convention, in which he tried to link Hillary to Satan, through an association with Alinsky. (Really.)

“The more I’ve seen of places like Yale Law School and the people who haunt them," Clinton wrote, "the more convinced I am that we have the serious business and joy of much work ahead, — if the commitment to a free and open society is ever going to mean more than eloquence and frustration."
Clinton first met Alinsky when she was at Wellesley working on her 1969 thesis on his controversial theories on community organizing, many of which were outlined in his 1946 handbook, "Reveille for Radicals."
In the book, Alinsky encouraged community organizers to "fan the latent hostilities" of low-income, inner city residents and "search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them." His 1971 book, "Rules for Radicals," published a year before his death, expanded on that theme. "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it," Alinsky wrote.
“Dear Saul,” Clinton wrote in the 1971 letter. "When is that new book [Rules for Radicals] coming out — or has it come and I somehow missed the fulfillment of Revelation? I have just had my one-thousandth conversation about Reveille and need some new material to throw at people."
She thanked Alinsky for the advice he gave her about campus organizing.
“If I never thanked you for the encouraging words of last spring in the midst of the Yale-Cambodia madness, I do so now,” Clinton wrote.

As applied to Trump recently
Saul Alinsky’s 13th and final rule for radicals is “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.” I think about this rule often as it relates to the so-called alt-right. Because from the start, Donald Trump has walked a tightrope with them. This week, we saw a couple of successful applications of Rule 13: Trump’s being forced to denounce anti-semitism; and Milo Yiannopoulos’ fall from grace.

Pat Brown, Pelosi, Newsome, Getty Gordon's wife Ann died of a heart attack this week.
"Ann Gilbert was born in Wheatland (Yuba County) on March 11, 1941. She attributed her drive to a Puritan work ethic that came from her parents, who farmed peaches and walnuts at the north end of the Central Valley.
While working in the orchards, she dreamed of growing up to become a scientist or explorer, and after graduating from East Nicolaus High School in 1958, she got her chance. She left the farm for UC Berkeley to study anthropology and biology, and took a part-time job at the cosmetics counter at Joseph Magnin near Union Square.
Under the auspices of owner Cyril Magnin, the store was considered a launchpad into the more glamorous corners of San Francisco life. Ann Gilbert met Barbara Newsom, sister of Bill Newsom, an old friend of Gordon Getty’s from San Francisco’s St. Ignatius College Prep, class of 1951, and father of Gavin.
When the two women walked into La Rocca’s Corner, a North Beach bar, in 1964, Gordon Getty turned to Newsom and said of Gilbert, “Bill, she’s too tall for you,” according to society event planner Stanlee Gatti, who heard the story from Getty himself. He got off his barstool and introduced himself by saying, “Why don’t we play a game, shot for shot?” She agreed without flinching, and they lined up the shot glasses. “They haven’t been apart since,” Gatti said.
The year they met, they eloped to Las Vegas, where they were married on Christmas Day. Gordon Getty liked to underplay his fabulous wealth by dressing down and driving an AMC Pacer, the ultimate utilitarian vehicle, in the 1970s. In 1973, they moved into a Pacific Heights mansion designed by Willis Polk, and over time, Ann redid its interior. Gordon parked the Pacer out front.
“Her taste was very historical and rich with color,” said Gatti, “but she wasn’t a showoff and she wasn’t a braggart.”"

Hi folks! Been a longtime lurker in the deep politics sphere a couple years now so I'm still a newbie but I figure it's high time for me to start talking about it as things seemed to be accelerating in their ridiculousness -- like in Spaceballs when the crew is aghast to hear: "Ludicrous Speed!" Anyhoo, already I digress... Here's (the two primary) pieces of reporting on a hilariously interesting and under-reported story in its implications about our country's future president (that is, the inevitable Kamala VP takeover of addled Biden if the neolibs do enough skullduggery). Both of them are LA Times; I will post in their entirety to bypass site paywalls: www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-aide-harris-accused-rogue-police-force-20150505-story.html"BIZARRE FAKE POLICE FORCE INCLUDED KAMALA HARRIS AIDE, PROSECUTORS SAY" By JOSEPH SERNA, JAVIER PANZAR , MATT HAMILTON MAY 6, 20154:05 AM Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Capt. Roosevelt Johnson thought it was odd when three people — two of them dressed in police uniforms he didn’t recognize — strolled into the Santa Clarita station in February. One man introduced himself as chief of the Masonic Fraternal Police Department and told Johnson this was a courtesy call to let him know the agency was setting up shop in the area. They met for 45 minutes, Johnson said, but he was left confused and suspicious — so much so that he immediately ordered deputies to pull station surveillance video so they would have images of the visitors. He also assigned detectives to check them out. “It was an odd meeting,” the captain recalled. “It just raised my suspicion level.” This week, the three people were charged with impersonating police officers. They are David Henry, who told Johnson he was the police chief, Tonette Hayes and Brandon Kiel, an aide to state Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris. It turns out Henry, Hayes and Kiel had allegedly introduced themselves to police agencies across the state, though it is unclear why. A website claiming to represent their force cites connections to the Knights Templars that they say go back 3,000 years. The site also said that the department had jurisdiction in 33 states and Mexico. “When asked what is the difference between the Masonic Fraternal Police Department and other police departments, the answer is simple for us. We were here first!” the website said. Los Angeles County prosecutors said the whole effort was a ruse, though for what purpose remains unclear. The investigation is continuing. Johnson said Kiel did most of the talking during their meeting. Kiel said in addition to his police position, he worked for Harris. When Kiel departed, Johnson said, he left his card from the state Department of Justice. David Beltran, a spokesman for the state Department of Justice, said Kiel was placed on paid leave April 30 — the date he was arrested. He is paid $67,416 annually as deputy director of community affairs. Harris has received regular briefings on the case since it began. “The attorney general has been concerned about these serious allegations from the point she was first briefed on this investigation,” Beltran said. “Our office has been cooperating with investigators from the beginning and will continue to do so.” Friends of Kiel rushed to his defense. “I was in total disbelief. I still don’t believe it,” Los Angeles businesswoman Ingrid Fields said. “This is not the Brandon that I or dozens of people know.” Fields said she has known Kiel since he was a 6-year-old neighbor and was friends with Fields’ daughter. “He is smart, articulate and very, very ethical, which is why I find this hard to believe. He is a hard worker,” she said. “He is a brilliant guy who had a great political career ahead of him. I can’t imagine him doing anything to jeopardize that.” While Fields said she didn’t know about the police connection, those who knew Henry said the 46-year-old was very open about his role. Employees at the Backwoods Inn restaurant in Santa Clarita remember a day about a month ago when Henry — a regular customer — walked in with a swagger. He wore a dark blue police uniform with badges and insignia on both arms. He told the staff at the country western-themed eatery off the Sierra Highway he was a police chief and handed out his business card with pride. It read MASONIC FRATERNAL POLICE DEPARTMENT in capital letters and identified Henry as Chief Henry 33 “He was very big on saying ‘I’m the chief, I’m the chief,’” said one server who talked to him when he stopped by two or three times a week. She spoke on the condition that her name not be used. “He carried himself like a cop, his uniform was spot on to a regular cop uniform, we all thought he was a legit cop,” said a chef at the restaurant. Henry regularly brought in his children. Employees said Henry told them the department had set up offices in a strip mall next to a storefront church in Santa Clarita. Church members said they didn’t talk to their neighbors but said they saw a few men come and go dressed in sharp suits. They drove a black Lincoln town car with no license plates. “We thought they were a security company,” said one church member. Henry was charged with multiple misdemeanors and three counts of felony perjury. He is scheduled to be arraigned May 21. Kiel is charged with six counts of impersonating an officer and unlawful use of a state ID. Hayes was charged with four counts of impersonating an officer. Both have been bailed out of jail and no court date has been set. The three were members of a religious philanthropy group that does work in South Los Angeles. Their work put them in contact with various politicians and community leaders. A spokesman for Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Los Angeles) confirmed that the group gave her an award in 2012. A photo shows Waters with Kiel and Henry. The exact structure of the purported police department was unclear. But on the website, Henry is referred to as “Absolute Supreme Sovereign Grandmaster.” Times staff writers Michael Finnegan and Patrick McGreevy contributed to this report."

Hours after he appeared in a San Fernando courtroom, David Inkk Henry, the 47-year-old “grandmaster,” died of a pulmonary embolism at Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital, attorney Gary Casselman said. Earlier in the day, L. A. County Superior Court Judge Hayden Zacky had granted a motion to dismiss the charges against Brandon Kiel, a former community affairs staffer with the California Department of Justice whom authorities said had impersonated a police officer and misused his government-issued ID. The developments drastically altered a case that grabbed headlines when Henry, Kiel, and Tonette Hayes were arrested last spring — and left Casselman wondering why the charges had been brought to begin with. Police “could have told Mr. Henry and Ms. Hayes and Mr. Kiel, ‘Listen, this is not a good idea. Someone might think you are impersonating a police officer,’” Casselman said. “I think [police] are jealous of anyone who might be perceived as an interloper or, pardon the expression, a competitor.” Much of the notoriety derived from Kiel’s role within Atty. Gen. Kamala D. Harris’ administration, as well as the bogus police force’s eccentric online presence, including a website in which its members claimed to descend from the Knights Templar. Social media accounts associated with Henry also referred to secret societies such as the Freemasons and Illuminati, adding to the intrigue. Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials said the trio walked into the Santa Clarita station last year — two of them wearing police uniforms — to announce their organization was setting up shop in the area. “It just raised my suspicion level,” sheriff’s Capt. Roosevelt Johnson said at the time. The department launched an investigation and learned the group had sent letters to area law enforcement, including police departments in Torrance and Santa Monica. Investigators staged an undercover operation last April in which they recorded the group’s meeting with Santa Monica police Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks. A sheriff’s detective posed as Seabrooks’ assistant, according to testimony at a preliminary hearing. Det. Amalia Hernandez testified that during the meeting, Kiel did much of the talking and said the group would not handle 911 emergency calls, only matters internal to the Masonic groups. Kiel also said the state Department of Justice was well aware and supportive of the Masonic Fraternal Police Department, according to Hernandez’s testimony. The trio initially were charged with misdemeanor counts of falsely representing themselves as police officers; Henry also was charged with three felony counts of perjury. Prosecutors later accused the three of perjury and conspiracy to commit perjury by procuring fee-exempt license plates from the state Department of Motor Vehicles. But the charges against Kiel gradually were pared down. At a preliminary hearing in January, all but four counts against him were dismissed, but L.A. County Superior Court Judge Monica Bachner let stand the misdemeanor counts of perjury and conspiracy to commit perjury. In arguing to have the remaining charges dismissed, Kiel’s lawyer said that detectives had conducted an improper search of his client’s personal computer and that evidence found on it should be dropped. Casselman contended that the search warrant used in the probe did not cover Kiel’s vehicle, a Ford Mustang issued by the state for use by Department of Justice employees, or his laptop, which was found in the car. The attorney said that even if the search of Kiel’s Mustang was valid, law enforcement could not search the computer since it violated the 4th Amendment. “There was no consent,” Casselman said. “They could have applied for a warrant. But they didn’t do that.” Deputy Dist. Atty. Brian Chang disagreed, arguing in court papers that Kiel did not have a “reasonable expectation of privacy” in his state-issued vehicle. Chang did not respond to a message seeking comment after the judge dropped the charges. Kiel had been placed on paid leave after he was arrested. A Department of Justice spokeswoman confirmed Monday that he was no longer employed there. His attorney said his client was hopeful to move on and is now pursuing graduate studies. “His life has been turned upside down,” Casselman said. “I don’t know if he’ll get his job back, but hopefully he can clear his name.” matt.hamilton@latimes.com

I think we can rule out the last cause of an air embolism.
"What is an air embolism?
An air embolism, also called a gas embolism, occurs when one or more air bubbles enter a vein or artery and block it. When an air bubble enters a vein, it’s called a venous air embolism. When an air bubble enters an artery, it’s called an arterial air embolism.
These air bubbles can travel to your brain, heart, or lungs and cause a heart attack, stroke, or respiratory failure. Air embolisms are rather rare.
Causes of an air embolism
An air embolism can occur when your veins or arteries are exposed and pressure allows air to travel into them. This can happen in several ways, such as:
Injections and surgical procedures
A syringe or IV can accidentally inject air into your veins. Air can also enter your veins or arteries through a catheter that’s inserted into them.
Air can enter your veins and arteries during surgical procedures. This is most common during brain surgeries. According to an article in the Journal of Minimal Access SurgeryTrusted Source, up to 80 percent of brain surgeries result in an air embolism. However, medical professionals usually detect and correct the embolism during the surgery before it becomes a serious problem.
Doctors and nurses are trained to avoid allowing air to enter the veins and arteries during medical and surgical procedures. They’re also trained to recognize an air embolism and treat it if one does occur.
Lung trauma
An air embolism can sometimes occur if there’s trauma to your lung. For example, if your lung is compromised after an accident, you might be put on a breathing ventilator. This ventilator could force air into a damaged vein or artery.
Scuba diving
You can also get an air embolism while scuba diving. This is possible if you hold your breath for too long when you’re under water or if you surface from the water too quickly.
These actions can cause the air sacs in your lungs, called alveoli, to rupture. When the alveoli rupture, air may move to your arteries, resulting in an air embolism.
Explosion and blast injuries
An injury that occurs because of a bomb or blast explosion can cause your veins or arteries to open. These injuries typically occur in combat situations. The force of the explosion can push air into injured veins or arteries.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)Trusted Source, the most common fatal injury for people in combat who survive blast injuries is “blast lung.” Blast lung is when an explosion or blast damages your lung and air is forced into a vein or artery in the lung.
Blowing into the vagina
In rare instances, blowing air into the vagina during oral sex can cause an air embolism. In this case, the air embolism can occur if there’s a tear or injury in the vagina or uterus. The risk is higher in pregnant women, who may have a tear in their placenta.
