His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Iles, 20, of Marin City; and Shamron Joshua Mitchell, 30, of Antioch. All were arrested on charges of murder and conspiracy and are being held without bail, the sheriff's office said. The fifth suspect, Devin Isiah Williamson, 21, of Vallejo, the promoter of the event, was charged as an accessory and is being held in lieu of $500,000 bail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s important to note that this investigation is still in its earliest stages,\" Livingston told reporters on Friday, adding that additional arrests are more than likely as authorities conduct ongoing forensic work. \"We do have people in custody, but we know there are others we are seeking now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The arrests come nearly two weeks after the shooting, which occurred close to 11 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 31, at an Airbnb rental on Lucille Way, where an estimated 100 people had gathered for the party. Until now, law enforcement officials had revealed little information about the deadly incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Victims included Tiyon Farley, 22, of Antioch; Omar Taylor, 24, of Pittsburg; Raymon Hill, Jr., 23, of San Francisco and Oakland; Javlin County, 29, of Sausalito and Richmond; and Oshiana Tompkins, 19, of Vallejo and Hercules. At least four other people were injured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We haven’t nailed down the exact motive yet, but I believe in due course we will,\" Livingston said. He noted that members of different Bay Area gangs attended the party, including two of the victims — Hill and County – both of whom were armed and had \"extensive criminal histories\" and affiliations with gangs in San Francisco and Marin City, respectively. Videos obtained from the event showed that many attendees entered the party carrying firearms, even after being patted down by a security guard at the door who had been seen \"drinking Hennessy throughout the evening,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time of massacre, Orinda's only two patrol officers on duty had been in Oakland recovering a stolen car and didn’t arrive at the scene until 10 minutes afterwards, by which point the assailants had already fled, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/11/12/orinda-officers-were-in-oakland-during-shooting-that-killed-five-according-to-call-logs-panicked-moments-after-shooting-detailed/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">call logs obtained by the Mercury News\u003c/a>. The logs show that no Orinda officers were patrolling the streets of the city for at least two hours beforehand, even as several residents called to complain of the loud party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when asked about the delayed police response, Livingston was quick to deflect blame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The blame rests specifically on the individuals that carried guns into the party, pulled the trigger and murdered someone. That’s who should be blamed,\" he said. \"For this event it came down to gang members shooting and killing people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators believe the incident started in the kitchen and involved multiple shooters, he said, describing a chaotic scene with bullet casings everywhere. \"In my 32 years of law enforcement, I have never seen a homicide scene like this, ever. It was a bloodbath inside the home.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mass shooting shook the community of Orinda, a small, quiet East Bay suburb.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a horrific event that occurred in our community, and we hope these arrests will start the process of some level of healing, if that's possible,\" said Orinda Mayor Inga Miller. \"Our hearts go out to families and people affected. ... A sense of safety was shattered and these arrests will hopefully bring back that feeling of safety in the neighborhood.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller added that although sheriff's officials worked doggedly on the case over the last two weeks, many of her constituents felt in the dark because of the tight-lipped nature of the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is something concrete that residents can see,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller also noted that the City Council is considering an ordinance to temporarily ban short-term, unhosted housing rentals in the city until more safeguards are put in place. The council plans to take up the issue on Tuesday, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Airbnb has since said it will ban party houses on its online platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Contra Costa Sheriffs’s Office said the investigation into the shooting is ongoing and is asking anyone with any information to contact its investigation division at (925) 313-2600. Any tips can be emailed to: tips@so.cccounty.us. To leave an anonymous voice message, call 866-846-3592.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This is a developing story.

Iles, 20, of Marin City; and Shamron Joshua Mitchell, 30, of Antioch. All were arrested on charges of murder and conspiracy and are being held without bail, the sheriff's office said. The fifth suspect, Devin Isiah Williamson, 21, of Vallejo, the promoter of the event, was charged as an accessory and is being held in lieu of $500,000 bail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s important to note that this investigation is still in its earliest stages,\" Livingston told reporters on Friday, adding that additional arrests are more than likely as authorities conduct ongoing forensic work. \"We do have people in custody, but we know there are others we are seeking now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The arrests come nearly two weeks after the shooting, which occurred close to 11 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 31, at an Airbnb rental on Lucille Way, where an estimated 100 people had gathered for the party. Until now, law enforcement officials had revealed little information about the deadly incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Victims included Tiyon Farley, 22, of Antioch; Omar Taylor, 24, of Pittsburg; Raymon Hill, Jr., 23, of San Francisco and Oakland; Javlin County, 29, of Sausalito and Richmond; and Oshiana Tompkins, 19, of Vallejo and Hercules. At least four other people were injured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We haven’t nailed down the exact motive yet, but I believe in due course we will,\" Livingston said. He noted that members of different Bay Area gangs attended the party, including two of the victims — Hill and County – both of whom were armed and had \"extensive criminal histories\" and affiliations with gangs in San Francisco and Marin City, respectively. Videos obtained from the event showed that many attendees entered the party carrying firearms, even after being patted down by a security guard at the door who had been seen \"drinking Hennessy throughout the evening,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time of massacre, Orinda's only two patrol officers on duty had been in Oakland recovering a stolen car and didn’t arrive at the scene until 10 minutes afterwards, by which point the assailants had already fled, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/11/12/orinda-officers-were-in-oakland-during-shooting-that-killed-five-according-to-call-logs-panicked-moments-after-shooting-detailed/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">call logs obtained by the Mercury News\u003c/a>. The logs show that no Orinda officers were patrolling the streets of the city for at least two hours beforehand, even as several residents called to complain of the loud party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when asked about the delayed police response, Livingston was quick to deflect blame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The blame rests specifically on the individuals that carried guns into the party, pulled the trigger and murdered someone. That’s who should be blamed,\" he said. \"For this event it came down to gang members shooting and killing people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators believe the incident started in the kitchen and involved multiple shooters, he said, describing a chaotic scene with bullet casings everywhere. \"In my 32 years of law enforcement, I have never seen a homicide scene like this, ever. It was a bloodbath inside the home.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mass shooting shook the community of Orinda, a small, quiet East Bay suburb.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a horrific event that occurred in our community, and we hope these arrests will start the process of some level of healing, if that's possible,\" said Orinda Mayor Inga Miller. \"Our hearts go out to families and people affected. ... A sense of safety was shattered and these arrests will hopefully bring back that feeling of safety in the neighborhood.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller added that although sheriff's officials worked doggedly on the case over the last two weeks, many of her constituents felt in the dark because of the tight-lipped nature of the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is something concrete that residents can see,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miller also noted that the City Council is considering an ordinance to temporarily ban short-term, unhosted housing rentals in the city until more safeguards are put in place. The council plans to take up the issue on Tuesday, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Airbnb has since said it will ban party houses on its online platform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Contra Costa Sheriffs’s Office said the investigation into the shooting is ongoing and is asking anyone with any information to contact its investigation division at (925) 313-2600.

She spent most of a nine-year prison sentence for vehicular manslaughter at the Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla, north of Fresno in the Central Valley.

Four correctional officers in the state’s other major women’s prison — in Southern California — were also fired in recent years for sexual misconduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017 alone, three officers at the California Institution for Women in San Bernardino County had sexual contact with inmates in or near their housing units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officer Robert Darrow was working an overtime shift in a housing unit on May 12, 2017, when he pulled one of the women responsible for cleaning and mopping the dorm into a broom closet, according to a transcript of a preliminary hearing in a criminal case against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She said that he entered in behind her,” an investigator testified. “She was facing away from him. He closed the door. And then he bent her over, pulled her sweatpants down — she didn’t have any underwear — and then he moved his head down and orally copulated her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The encounter lasted only three minutes, according to the testimony, because Darrow heard a noise outside the closet and stopped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that same month, Officer Tony Garcia sent all the women in a housing unit to breakfast, but one. The woman performed oral sex on him in her cell. He ejaculated on her nightgown, which the woman hid and later turned over to internal affairs. Investigators tested the semen on the nightgown and confirmed it belonged to Garcia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A third case involved Officer Stephen Merrill entering the cell of two female inmates at 3:30 a.m. on Oct. 30, 2017, and groping them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An investigation found, “As inmate [REDACTED] stood by the door facing the inside of the cell, she bent over and you inserted your right hand from behind her into her underwear. You grabbed her buttocks.

Attorneys representing them did not return requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Merrill and Garcia took plea deals, according to court records. Garcia served two days in jail and was placed on probation. Merrill’s two-year prison sentence was suspended as he completes three years of probation. He was also sentenced to less than a year of county jail time, eligible for work and weekend release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors in the case against Darrow argued he had “a history of being investigated for sexual activity with inmates,” according to a preliminary hearing transcript in the case. But the San Bernardino County district attorney suddenly dropped the charges against him in March of this year.

He was fired in April 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prison officials never referred Trevino for criminal charges — due to insufficient evidence, according to a spokeswoman. That’s despite investigators’ findings that he repeatedly groped women in his custody.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Central Region Criminal Investigation team, after a full review of the material, recommended the case instead be opened as an administrative investigation,” spokeswoman Simas wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Office of Inspector General for California prisons monitors all investigations of sexual assault and harassment by officers and issues public reports.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"left\" citation=\"Roy Wesley, Inspector General for California Prisons\"]‘Our power is to write about it and to bring transparency to the public because otherwise nobody knows what happens in these things.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Trevino’s case, the Office of the Inspector General noted several deficiencies in the prison’s investigation. A prison investigator “scheduled case conferences and critical witness interviews for when he knew the OIG would not be available, and only cooperated after the OIG elevated the issue to his supervisor,” according to a 2018 inspector general’s discipline monitoring report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The office’s case review also faulted the investigation for failing to substantiate that Trevino was dishonest “when he denied that he made inappropriate, derogatory and sexually harassing comments to inmates.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have no authority to tell the department, ‘You have to do what we think you should do,’ ” said Inspector General Roy Wesley. “Our power is to write about it and to bring transparency to the public because otherwise nobody knows what happens in these things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inmate advocates would like California to create another oversight body with more teeth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also agree with the Prison Law Office’s recommendation that CDCR hire mostly female correctional officers to work inside the women’s housing units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of the male officers fired for sexual misconduct inside California women’s prisons in recent years had access to areas of the housing units where women are changing. Federal law mandates that male officers announce their presence upon entering those areas, but otherwise does not restrict their presence.[aside postID=\"news_11777176,news_11770926,news_11740176\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Police-Art_1.gif\" heroLink=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/police-records\" target=\"_blank\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorneys with the Prison Law Office think prison officials could prevent a lot of abuse by cutting off that access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Washington Department of Corrections at one of their women’s prisons made it a requirement that only women apply for certain positions working inside the housing units where the women live, sleep and bathe,” said Prison Law Office attorney Kendrick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California prison system has been moving in that direction, according to spokeswoman Simas. A greater percentage of jobs in housing units are designated for female officers only, and the prison system is pushing to recruit more women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, women make up roughly a third of officers at the two main female prisons in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mota is still working to turn her experience in prison into an instrument for change.

Although Zelenskiy was \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/07/politics/volodymyr-zelensky-fareed-zakaria-ukraine-aid/index.html\">close to booking a CNN interview\u003c/a> in September, he never made the public commitment that witnesses have said Trump wanted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans argue this shows there was no inappropriate exchange and say the impeachment process has been a “sham.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plus the case is based on hearsay, they argue, because few witnesses heard directly from Trump and — for some supporters — Trump’s actions were legitimate or, at very least, not impeachable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes, R-Calif., also said Democrats have lost all credibility following former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation and called their impeachment inquiry a “carefully orchestrated media smear campaign.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This spectacle is doing great damage to our country,” he said. “It’s nothing more than an impeachment process in search of a crime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House press secretary \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1194659763965038592\">Stephanie Grisham said\u003c/a> Democrats are squandering bandwidth they should be using on more important priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/PressSec/status/1194659763965038592?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dems: Congress has no choice but to act\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/778380499\">No, Democrats argue\u003c/a>. They say that Trump has so abused his office that Congress has no choice but to reach for one of its rarest and most serious remedies — impeachment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Congress does not act, “the prospects for further corruption and abuse in this administration or any other will be exponentially increased,” said Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif. “If this is not impeachable conduct, what is?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schiff’s members are further frustrated by what they call a lack of cooperation from the Trump administration, which has sought to block many witnesses and withhold many documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have not received one piece of paper from the State Department relative to this investigation,” said Rep. Jackie Speier of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats have said Trump’s unwillingness to cooperate could become its own article of impeachment, one related to what they call obstruction of Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The process is moving on, however. Democrats have scheduled another public hearing for Friday with former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Maria Yovanovitch and three more hearings next week with a variety of witnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators also said on Wednesday that they’ve scheduled closed-door depositions with two more witnesses: David Holmes of the State Department and Mark Sandy, an official from the Office of Management and Budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The diplomats\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Wednesday’s hearing, Schiff called Taylor and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent to tell their stories. They’ve already spoken to investigators in closed depositions and repeated much of their stories on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor’s detail about a staffer overhearing Trump’s phone call, however, was new.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kent is the senior State Department supervisor whose responsibility includes policy for Eastern Europe — except he was told to “keep his head down,” he says, and “keep a low profile” on Ukraine because the White House had hand picked “three amigos” to take that portfolio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kent also told lawmakers on Wednesday that he raised concerns during the administration of President Barack Obama about the appearance of conflict raised when the son of then-Vice President Joe Biden was hired to join the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Kent also said he never saw any evidence that Biden leaned on Ukrainian officials not to investigate the company in a way that might have been improper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican counsel Steve Castor asked the witnesses whether Biden’s son Hunter had any expertise in Ukrainian energy issues or spoke Ukrainian or had any other training that might have qualified him for the role he took.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do you know whether he possessed any other element — other than being the son of, at the time, the sitting vice president?” Castor asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has cited what he calls “corruption” involving the Bidens as the reason he says it’s appropriate that he tried to get Zelenskiy to investigate them. Castor also asked the witnesses to describe earlier instances of alleged corruption in Ukraine to build a foundation for that case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor is the acting boss of the U.S. diplomatic mission in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. He told investigators that he learned about Trump’s desire for investigations from other diplomats and couldn’t explain to Ukrainians why their military assistance had been withheld.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kent and Taylor said they wanted to be nonpartisan “fact witnesses” but also acknowledged that they opposed Trump’s pressure policy, in part because it was run by Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani — not someone within the foreign policy establishment — and in part because they thought it was bad on its merits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giuliani’s unofficial policy toward Ukraine “undercut” the official policy pursued by diplomats like Taylor, the ambassador said on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump’s allies\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican lawmakers emphasized that neither Taylor nor Kent — nor others from whom Congress has heard — spoke directly with Trump and can describe his intentions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreover, corruption is endemic in Ukraine and that is a solid basis upon which the White House should act, Republicans argued in a policy memo circulated on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another defense is that Trump’s invitation for foreign interference in the 2020 race might have been inappropriate, as Ohio Republican Sen. Rob Portman argued, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dispatch.com/news/20191007/ohio-gop-sen-rob-portman-trump-wrong-to-seek-help-from-ukraine-china\">but it isn’t impeachable\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, meanwhile, rejected the idea that Trump didn’t do anything wrong simply because he didn’t succeed in getting the concessions he wanted from Zelenskiy.=\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, said the law recognizes the principle that a transgression interrupted may be as much a crime as much as one committed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is attempted murder a crime?” Castro asked. “Is attempted robbery a crime? I think anybody in this room could answer that question. Is attempted extortion and bribery a crime?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But another Texan, Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe, said he believes nothing that has been developed in the investigation so far reveals anything improper. He made that point to the witnesses in a rhetorical question late into the hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do you agree with me that we shouldn’t impeach a president for exercising his constitutional authority?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR diplomatic correspondent Michele Kelemen contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2019 NPR.

They’ve already spoken to investigators in closed depositions and repeated much of their stories on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor’s detail about a staffer overhearing Trump’s phone call, however, was new.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kent is the senior State Department supervisor whose responsibility includes policy for Eastern Europe — except he was told to “keep his head down,” he says, and “keep a low profile” on Ukraine because the White House had hand picked “three amigos” to take that portfolio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kent also told lawmakers on Wednesday that he raised concerns during the administration of President Barack Obama about the appearance of conflict raised when the son of then-Vice President Joe Biden was hired to join the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Kent also said he never saw any evidence that Biden leaned on Ukrainian officials not to investigate the company in a way that might have been improper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican counsel Steve Castor asked the witnesses whether Biden’s son Hunter had any expertise in Ukrainian energy issues or spoke Ukrainian or had any other training that might have qualified him for the role he took.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do you know whether he possessed any other element — other than being the son of, at the time, the sitting vice president?” Castor asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has cited what he calls “corruption” involving the Bidens as the reason he says it’s appropriate that he tried to get Zelenskiy to investigate them. Castor also asked the witnesses to describe earlier instances of alleged corruption in Ukraine to build a foundation for that case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor is the acting boss of the U.S. diplomatic mission in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv. He told investigators that he learned about Trump’s desire for investigations from other diplomats and couldn’t explain to Ukrainians why their military assistance had been withheld.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kent and Taylor said they wanted to be nonpartisan “fact witnesses” but also acknowledged that they opposed Trump’s pressure policy, in part because it was run by Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani — not someone within the foreign policy establishment — and in part because they thought it was bad on its merits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Giuliani’s unofficial policy toward Ukraine “undercut” the official policy pursued by diplomats like Taylor, the ambassador said on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Trump’s allies\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican lawmakers emphasized that neither Taylor nor Kent — nor others from whom Congress has heard — spoke directly with Trump and can describe his intentions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Moreover, corruption is endemic in Ukraine and that is a solid basis upon which the White House should act, Republicans argued in a policy memo circulated on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another defense is that Trump’s invitation for foreign interference in the 2020 race might have been inappropriate, as Ohio Republican Sen. Rob Portman argued, \u003ca href=\"https://www.dispatch.com/news/20191007/ohio-gop-sen-rob-portman-trump-wrong-to-seek-help-from-ukraine-china\">but it isn’t impeachable\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, meanwhile, rejected the idea that Trump didn’t do anything wrong simply because he didn’t succeed in getting the concessions he wanted from Zelenskiy.=\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, said the law recognizes the principle that a transgression interrupted may be as much a crime as much as one committed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Is attempted murder a crime?” Castro asked. “Is attempted robbery a crime? I think anybody in this room could answer that question. Is attempted extortion and bribery a crime?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But another Texan, Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe, said he believes nothing that has been developed in the investigation so far reveals anything improper. He made that point to the witnesses in a rhetorical question late into the hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do you agree with me that we shouldn’t impeach a president for exercising his constitutional authority?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR diplomatic correspondent Michele Kelemen contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>BART's top official issued a public apology Monday to a man \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11785824/bart-officers-detain-handcuff-and-cite-man-for-eating-sandwich-on-platform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">handcuffed\u003c/a> last week after a transit agency police officer confronted him for eating a sandwich on a station platform — an apology the agency was later forced to modify and one which the detained man is criticizing as an attempt to blame the incident on him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Nov. 4 incident at BART's Pleasant Hill Station, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/7husal0t7/videos/pcb.2520780144653829/2520765981321912/?type=3&theater\">posted on Facebook\u003c/a> on Friday, sparked a social media backlash against the agency and prompted at least one \u003ca href=\"https://abcnews.go.com/US/bart-riders-hold-lunchtime-eat-protest-man-detained/story?id=66911537\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\"eat-in\" protest\u003c/a> in response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART General Manager Bob Powers said in \u003ca href=\"https://www.bart.gov/news/articles/2019/news20191111\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a written statement\u003c/a> that although eating in BART's paid areas is banned, he was \"disappointed\" in how the encounter between Officer D. McCormick and passenger Steve Foster unfolded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The officer was doing his job but context is key,\" Powers' statement said. \"Enforcement of infractions such as eating and drinking inside our paid area should not be used to prevent us from delivering on our mission to provide safe, reliable, and clean transportation. We have to read each situation and allow people to get where they are going on time and safely. ... I apologize to Mr. Foster, our riders, employees, and the public who have had an emotional reaction to the video.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powers' apology initially said that McCormick asked Foster to stop eating \"while passing by on another call. It should have ended there, but it didn’t. When the officer walked by again and still saw him eating, he moved forward with the process of issuing him a citation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART later corrected Powers' statement to clarify that McCormick did not pass by Foster and then return but instead approached Foster about not eating when he first encountered him. \"Mr. Foster did not stop eating and the officer moved forward with the process of issuing him a citation,\" the corrected statement said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I read that apology, and I wasn't feeling it at all,\" Foster, 31, of Concord, said in an interview Monday. He said BART had not contacted him since the incident and that he would \"probably have felt a little better about it and known they were genuine\" if the agency had reached out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster said he felt the statement was an attempt \"to make the story seem like I was the one that was actually in the wrong and I was just uncooperative from the jump, and it wasn't like that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster, who is African American, suggested that he'd been singled out for attention by McCormick, who is white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCormick \"just came straight up to me and got in my face and told me I couldn't eat on BART,\" Foster said, describing the officer's approach as \"aggressive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its statement, BART noted, as other have, that video of the incident shows Foster directing a string of homophobic slurs at McCormick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've missed two trains because of your old f____t ass,\" Foster says in the video. \"You f____n' f_g. Ask your mama what my name is, that's what you can do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Foster said he's gotten some \"backlash\" about those comments, but was unapologetic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not going to take back what I said. I said what I said. I meant what I said. I mean, I was angry,\" he said. \"I felt disrespected and I felt I needed to disrespect him in every shape, form or fashion I could because I felt I was being singled out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster's citation for eating on the platform carries a maximum fine of $250 or 48 hours of community service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART's independent police auditor, Russell Bloom, said Friday his office is collecting evidence on the incident before deciding whether to launch a formal investigation. The evidence includes video from social media and footage from cameras at the station and officers' body cameras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although frequent BART patrons can testify that eating and drinking on trains and station platforms is an everyday occurrence, it appears to be rare for the prohibition on dining and snacking to be enforced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART spokespeople say they don't have current statistics on eating and drinking citations, but a 2017 \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/It-s-really-hard-to-get-fined-by-BART-for-bad-11821144.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SFGATE inquiry\u003c/a> into the issue found that the agency issued 11 eating/drinking tickets in the final nine months of 2016. That was equivalent to one every 8 million rides.\u003c/p>\n\n",

McCormick and passenger Steve Foster unfolded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The officer was doing his job but context is key,\" Powers' statement said. \"Enforcement of infractions such as eating and drinking inside our paid area should not be used to prevent us from delivering on our mission to provide safe, reliable, and clean transportation. We have to read each situation and allow people to get where they are going on time and safely. ... I apologize to Mr. Foster, our riders, employees, and the public who have had an emotional reaction to the video.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Powers' apology initially said that McCormick asked Foster to stop eating \"while passing by on another call. It should have ended there, but it didn’t. When the officer walked by again and still saw him eating, he moved forward with the process of issuing him a citation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He said BART had not contacted him since the incident and that he would \"probably have felt a little better about it and known they were genuine\" if the agency had reached out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster said he felt the statement was an attempt \"to make the story seem like I was the one that was actually in the wrong and I was just uncooperative from the jump, and it wasn't like that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster, who is African American, suggested that he'd been singled out for attention by McCormick, who is white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McCormick \"just came straight up to me and got in my face and told me I couldn't eat on BART,\" Foster said, describing the officer's approach as \"aggressive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In its statement, BART noted, as other have, that video of the incident shows Foster directing a string of homophobic slurs at McCormick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've missed two trains because of your old f____t ass,\" Foster says in the video. \"You f____n' f_g. Ask your mama what my name is, that's what you can do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, Foster said he's gotten some \"backlash\" about those comments, but was unapologetic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm not going to take back what I said. I said what I said. I meant what I said. I mean, I was angry,\" he said. \"I felt disrespected and I felt I needed to disrespect him in every shape, form or fashion I could because I felt I was being singled out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foster's citation for eating on the platform carries a maximum fine of $250 or 48 hours of community service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART's independent police auditor, Russell Bloom, said Friday his office is collecting evidence on the incident before deciding whether to launch a formal investigation. The evidence includes video from social media and footage from cameras at the station and officers' body cameras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although frequent BART patrons can testify that eating and drinking on trains and station platforms is an everyday occurrence, it appears to be rare for the prohibition on dining and snacking to be enforced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>BART spokespeople say they don't have current statistics on eating and drinking citations, but a 2017 \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/It-s-really-hard-to-get-fined-by-BART-for-bad-11821144.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SFGATE inquiry\u003c/a> into the issue found that the agency issued 11 eating/drinking tickets in the final nine months of 2016. That was equivalent to one every 8 million rides.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
