Fighting for her life, Notre Dame Academy alumna, 24, in desperate need of a kidney donor Updated Dec 12, 2020; Posted Dec 12, 2020 Staten Islander Joyce Jade Van Drost is an NDA and Rutgers University alumna. She s in desperate need of a kidney donor. (Family photo) Facebook Share STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. As we prepare for the Christmas holiday under COVID-19 restrictions and restaurant shutdowns, Joyce “Jade” Van Drost, 24, is fighting for her life. The Notre Dame Academy (NDA) alumna is in desperate need of a kidney donor. Van Drost, a Mariners Harbor resident and also a Rutgers University graduate, was diagnosed with nephronophthisis in both kidneys on Sept. 9, 2013, three months shy of her 17th birthday. ....
Had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. the deputy attorney general and i concluded that the evidence developed by the special counsel is not sufficient to establish that the president committed an obstruction of justice offense. kicking off our special tonight, former federal prosecutor john flannery, joyce van and eugene robinson. good evening to each of you. we have had some time to let it set in. eugene, what does it mean that mueller has spoken? but spoken after so many others. well, it makes a difference. though it didn t go beyond the four corners of his 448 page report, but it s important that we heard him speak those words, that we heard him say in his double negative terms i did not exonerate the president. ....
Of how this report is understood. joyce, the weather also had a lot of clouds, which makes it hard to see the sun, which provides the light from the office of legal counsel opinion, classic analogy. but take a listen side by side. what we didn t have until this week is the way that barr treated this to the way mueller did when it comes to the central question america has been discussing for months, which is what do you do if there is a crime committed by the president in office. we specifically asked him about the olc opinion and whether or not he was taking a position that he would have found a crime but for the existence of the olc opinion. and he made it very clear several times that that was not his position. so that was justice department policy. those were the principals under which we operated, and from them we concluded that we would ....
President. john, take a look, then, at the sound of both of them now. we have again for the first time, barr and mueller on the idea that, yeah, some things go beyond the doj. absolutely. special counsel mueller did not indicate that his purpose was to leave the decision to congress. i am told that his reaction to that was that it was my prerogative as attorney general to make that decision. the opinion says that the constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing. joyce, when you hear that, is he nicely saying, unlike mr. barr s claims, this is up to congress, not barr, but saying it e lie lip. ....
Would not reach a determination one way or the other about whether the president committed a crime. joyce, now that mueller has spoken once and for all, what are we to take from it on that point? i think that there is some very fine legal arguments being drawn by the attorney general technically saying that mueller didn t go far enough down the road that the office of legal counsel memo compelled his decision. but those are really differences without a distinction. it is clear from mueller s comments. it is clear from the report itself that the special counsel s team operated in an environment where they knew from the get-go that they could not indict a sitting president of the united states, that the people ultimately with jurisdiction to do that would be prosecutors after trump left office or congress through its impeachment powers. all through this, barr acts not as the people s lawyer, not as we expect an attorney general would, with independence, but as ....
