My brain says stay up and write the article while my body is like “you should have been asleep an hour ago” so this means I’m just going to sit in bed because I can’t shut my brain down enough to let my body fall asleep. So, in essence, we’re all losing tonight.

After NYC Lawyer Arrested For Burning Police Van, Obama-Era Official Shows Up To Bail Her Out With $250,000

What’s Happening:

A New York City lawyer was arrested for allegedly firebombing an unoccupied NYPD police cruiser over the weekend.

But she didn’t stay in jail for long, as “a former high-level Obama administration intelligence official” posted the necessary $250,000 bail.

Salmah Rizvi served in the Defense Department and State Department during Obama’s term.

And apparently, she’s both a colleague and a very good friend of the accused, Urooj Rahman.

Via Fox News:

Rizvi, an associate at the law firm Ropes & Gray, told the court:

‘Urooj Rahman is my best friend and I am an associate at the law firm Ropes & Gray in Washington, D.C. … I earn $255,000 a year.’

Why It’s Important:

In this case, it’s Rizvi’s past that stands out.

While Rahman’s case is still pending, his friend Rizvi apparently has ties to certain organizations that could raise a few eyebrows.

For instance, according to The Free Beacon, Rizvi received a scholarship supported by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), dubbed by many as a radical anti-Israeli group.

As an aside, it’s important to remember that the FBI severed ties to CAIR in 2009, amid new evidence that suggested the group might be linked to Hamas.

Furthermore, Rizvi got additional scholarship funds from the Paul and Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans. This has links to a very rich friend to Democrats, George Soros.

As for Rahman, she’s facing potentially 20 years in prison for allegedly torching the police car.

The question is, why should he be granted bail? Prosecutors voiced their concerns about allowing “firebombers” back into the streets, and their concerns seem warranted.

And there is something to be said for Rizvi’s past, and her connection to the Obama administration.

However, while that quarter-million got the accused out of jail, justice could still be served in the future.

It’s not enough, but We’ll TAKE IT! The Princeton Theological Seminary is pledging to spend nearly $28 million on reparations over its ties to slavery, an effort believed to be one of the largest of its kind. Under the plan, which was announced last week and will be implemented over the course of the next five years, the private school of theology in New Jersey will offer 30 new scholarships and five doctoral fellowships for descendants of people who were enslaved or for others from underrepresented groups. The seminary will make changes to its curriculum, hire more scholars to study the legacy of slavery and rename campus spaces in honor of prominent African-Americans, among other initiatives. | https://www.google.com/amp/s/pix11.com/2019/10/27/a-new-jersey-religious-college-will-set-aside-nearly-28-million-for-slavery-reparations/amp/ (at The College of New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4QIDZWni_E/?igshid=1jfms9p7jdg2h
