Brian Laundrie Manhunt: Could Parents Face Obstruction, Ancillary Charges?
Like the manhunt for Florida Fugitive Brian Laundrie enters his third week as questions multiply about how he escaped authorities for so long and whether his parents were able to give him a head start.

Parents Chris and Roberta Laundrie have not been charged with any mischief, but critics began to scrutinize their actions in the weeks following the disappearance of their former future daughter-in-law, Gabby Petito, who was found dead in Wyoming at a campsite she shared with their son. They didn’t say anything about her missing and took a Labor Day camping trip.

“If they provided false information to law enforcement that allowed Brian Laundrie to take off and be a week early, or if the parents sent law enforcement on a hunt. ‘wild goose, searching the reserve when he was not there, there is certainly a basis to accuse them, ”said Neama Rahmani, a former justice prodigy and federal prosecutor.

So far, Laundrie has been described as a person of interest in the Petito case, but charged only with debit card fraud for allegedly using someone else’s bank card without authorization and withdrawing more than $ 1,000.

Lara Yeretsian, another senior West Coast defense attorney, said potential charges against the parents depended on what, if any, they told the FBI when investigators entered their home in the month. last, and whether they have misled or misguided the authorities.

But if charges are brought against the parents, she said, they could be linked to obstruction of justice or after-the-fact complicity. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OUR TOP STORY.

Fauci slammed for claiming it was ‘too early’ to consider Christmas gatherings
Dr Anthony Fauci was under fire on Sunday for suggesting Americans may have to spend Christmas alone in 2021.

On CBS’s “Face The Nation,” Fauci spoke with presenter Margaret Brennan about the status of the coronavirus pandemic and what is expected in the coming months. Specifically, Brennan wondered if families could get together for Christmas.

“Can we get together for Christmas, or is it just too early to tell?” Brennan asked.

Fauci replied that it was “too early to say” if people could come together in groups by Christmas this year.

“It’s just too early to tell,” Fauci said. “We need to focus on continuing to reduce those numbers and not try to move forward weeks or months saying what we’re going to do at some point.”

Dr Fauci, who is director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, made several predictions about when things might get back to normal. In december 2020, he has already faced backlash for suggesting Christmas may not be “business as usual” but predicted the holidays should be normal by 2021. CLICK HERE FOR MORE.

Kabul faces blackout as Taliban fail to pay bills
afghanistan the capital could be plunged into darkness as winter approaches, as the new Taliban leaders did not pay Central Asia electricity suppliers or resumed collecting money from consumers.

If not resolved, the situation could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe, warned Daud Noorzai, who resigned as director general of the country’s state power monopoly, Da Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat, nearly two weeks after. the takeover of power by the Taliban on August 15.

“The consequences would be nationwide, but especially in Kabul. There will be a blackout and that would take Afghanistan back to the dark ages when it comes to power and telecommunications,” Mr. Noorzai, who remains in close contact with the remaining management of DABS. . “It would be a really dangerous situation.”

Electricity imports from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan account for half of Afghanistan’s electricity consumption nationwide, with Iran provide additional supplies to the west of the country. Domestic production, mainly in hydropower plants, has been affected by the drought this year. Afghanistan does not have a national electricity grid and Kabul depends almost entirely on electricity imported from Central Asia.

Currently, power is plentiful in the Afghan capital, a rare, albeit transient, improvement since the Taliban takeover. Part of the reason is that the Taliban are no longer attacking transmission lines from Central Asia.

Another reason is that, with industry shut down and military and government installations largely idle, a much larger share of the power supply ends up at residential consumers, thus eliminating the blackouts that were common.

However, this could come to an abrupt end if suppliers in Central Asia, especially Tajikistan, whose relations with the Taliban are deteriorating rapidly, decide to cut DABS for non-payment. CLICK HERE FOR MORE.

A FEW WORDS OF APART

Fox News’ Marc Levin Sunday cut what he believes to be a smokescreen enveloping the Democrats’ agenda with their $ 3.5 trillion spending bill on “Life, Liberty & Levin. “

“We are going to turn the country upside down for generations to come. A disaster. We already have inflation, product shortages, the price of gasoline and food are rising,” said the host. “Can you imagine adding several billion dollars to that? “
