Texas Dems Flee Like Cowards And Ditch Their Duties; Abbott Orders Troopers To Arrest Them
One day after Texas House Democrats fled the state in a bid to stop redistricting, Gov. Greg Abbott ordered state troopers to arrest them. 'I ordered the Texas Department of Public Safety to locate, arrest, and return to the House chamber any member who has abandoned their duty to Texans,' Abbott said in an August 4 press release. 'This order will remain in effect until all missing Democrat House members are accounted for and brought to the Texas Capitol.' Abbott said the absent House Democrats were holding up 'critical legislation' for flood victims and property tax relief. The Democrats fled the state Sunday, attempting to stall a vote on the upcoming Republican-friendly redistricting. Abbott signed the order to 'ensure compliance' with Republican Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows, he said. Burrows announced civil arrest warrants for the absent Democrats earlier that afternoon. 'They've left the state, abandoned their posts, and turned their backs on the constituents they swore to represent,' Burrows said in the chamber. 'I will immediately sign the warrants for the civil arrest of the members who have said they will not be here.' Burrows previously warned that if the Democrats did not return, 'all options will be on the table.' Attorney General Ken Paxton said on August 3 that he supports their 'immediate arrest.' 'To those who are absent – return now. Show the courage to face the issues you were elected to solve. Come back and fulfill your duty,' Burrows said when announcing the warrants. 'Because this House will not sit quietly while you obstruct the work of the people.'

AG Pam Bondi orders grand jury probe of Obama officials over Trump-Russia 2016 collusion investigation
Attorney General Pam Bondi convened a grand jury investigation centered around the 'Russiagate' probe on Monday, the latest bid by Donald Trump to wage war against Barack Obama for the FBI investigation of his first presidential campaign. The direction by Bondi does not mean that charges for Obama or members of his team are imminent. Instead, the move allows prosecutors to issue embarrassing subpoenas and gather testimony, while launching a fishing expedition. It's still unclear what crimes members of the Trump administration believe were specifically committed regarding the investigation into the ties between Donald Trump's campaign and Russia. Tulsi Gabbard's ODNI memo is the only document publicly alleging any wrongdoing by members of the Obama administration surrounding the investigation, which a previous DoJ review led by John Durham already probed. This is a breaking news story. More to follow...

Sean ‘Diddy' Combs denied release from jail to await sentencing
Sean 'Diddy' Combs cannot go home from jail to await sentencing on his prostitution-related conviction, a judge said on Monday, denying the rap and style mogul's latest bid for bail. Combs has been behind bars since his September arrest. He faced federal charges of coercing girlfriends into having drug-fuelled sex marathons with male sex workers while he watched and filmed them. He was acquitted last month of the top charges – racketeering and sex trafficking – while being convicted of two counts of a prostitution-related offence. The conviction carries the potential for up to 10 years in prison. But there are complicated federal guidelines for calculating sentences in any given case, and prosecutors and Combs' lawyers disagree substantially on how the guidelines come out for his case. The guidelines are not mandatory, and Judge Arun Subramanian will have wide latitude in deciding Combs' punishment. The Bad Boy Records founder, now 55, was for decades a huge figure in pop culture. A Grammy-winning hip hop artist and entrepreneur with a flair for finding and launching big talents, he presided over a business empire that ranged from fashion to reality TV. Prosecutors claimed he used his fame, wealth and violence to force and manipulate two now-ex-girlfriends into days-long, drugged-up sexual performances he called 'freak-offs' or 'hotel nights'. His lawyers argued that the government tried to criminalise consensual, if unconventional, sexual tastes that played out in complicated relationships. The defence acknowledged that Combs had violent outbursts but said nothing he did came amounted to the crimes with which he was charged. Since the verdict, his lawyers have repeatedly renewed their efforts to get him out on bail until his sentencing, set for October. They have argued that the acquittals undercut the rationale for holding him, and they have pointed to other people who were released before sentencing on similar convictions. Defence lawyer Marc Agnifilo suggested in a court filing that Combs was the United States' 'only person in jail for hiring adult male escorts for him and his girlfriend'. The defence's most recent proposal included a 50 million-dollar (£37.6 million) bond and travel restrictions and expressed openness to adding on house arrest at his Miami home, electronic monitoring, private security guards and other requirements. Prosecutors opposed releasing Combs. They wrote that his 'extensive history of violence — and his continued attempt to minimise his recent violent conduct – demonstrates his dangerousness and that he is not amendable to supervision'.
