Talking in Michigan about a past discussion with Mike Pompeo, the Trump’s nominee as secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, the former First-Lady and the ex-candidate in the presidential election of 2016, expressed that America needs people with “bedrock values”, praising Betty Ford in this regard.

Despite the fact that Mr. Pompeo called Hillary Clinton “morally reprehensible” regarding the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012, Hillary Clinton said she was happy to discuss with him and the two made up to fight together for the national interests.

I think we’ve got to get back to talking to each other and more importantly listening to each other. We can’t allow the partisanship and politicization of everything to interfere with our national interests.

Hillary Clinton thinks America needs people with “bedrock values”

Being invited to a special event held in the memory of the first lady Betty Ford, the wife of Gerald Ford, the US president between 1974 and 1977, Hillary Clinton, a first lady herself, talked about mutual respect and selfless policies in the US politics.

The event was held at Frederick Meijer Gardens Wednesday, yesterday, on April 11th and was honored by the presence of two of Ford’s children and Lynda Bird Johnson Robb, the daughter of the former US president Lyndon Johnson.

Hillary named Ford “one of the most transformational Americans” and admitted she had him as a role model. Besides, referring to Betty Ford, Hillary said:

It is such a great personal pleasure for me to be here with all of you in honor of Betty. Our country goes through ups and downs, in case you haven’t noticed.  It’s really important that we have people with bedrock values who understand what’s important, what’s lasting, and even what’s eternal. Luckily we’ve had history pluck them out and put them into place. And we had that with both Jerry and Betty Ford.

Robert Mueller Appealed For 35 Blank Citations For Its Trial Against Paul Manafort

Special adviser Robert Mueller, who is directing the inquiry about the Russian interference in the presidential election in 2016, has appealed a judge for 35 citations in the blank, as one of the actions of its trial versus Paul Manafort, the ex-chairman of the presidential campaign of Donald Trump.

Hypothetically, this request means that federal prosecutors could appeal to the testimonies of exactly 35 witnesses that might assert against Paul Manafort.

“It is respectfully requested that the Clerk of said Court issue subpoenas as indicated below for appearance before said Court at Alexandria Virginia, in the United States District Court at 10:00 o’clock am, on 10th day of July 2018, then and there to testify on behalf of the United States,” states Mueller’s request document which was listed on April 6th by a districtual court in the state of Virginia.

Paul Manafort pleaded not guilty to allegations of illegalities such as fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering.

“Specifically given the nature of the charges against the defendant and the apparent weight of the evidence against him, the defendant faces the very real possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison,” wrote Judge Thomas Selby Elliss III in a court order.

Manafort’s lawyers work on dropping the allegations which are not linked to the 2016 elections

Mr. Paul Manafort is a renowned political operative with strong bonds to the Republicans and has spent a substantial share of his work as a political adviser in Ukraine.

In reply to the accusations, the lawyer of Paul Manafort has claimed that any allegation that’s not directly connected to the US presidential election of 2016 has to be discarded.

“The conduct alleged here was not discovered because of the special counsel’s investigation into alleged coordination; nor was it ‘demonstrably related to’ that investigation,” says a document in the support of Mr. Paul Manafort, which also mentions that few alleged tax infractions would have transpired before Donald Trump even submitted his candidacy to the presidential elections of 2016.

Bitcoin (BTC) Prices Continue To Consolidate

Bitcoin (BTC) prices continued to move in a range close to their support zone and consolidated because of the lack of support for the price as this movement has kept prices close to the minimums in their range.

The bulls need to do something very soon and clarify their intentions because, otherwise, the bear traders would leave their positions and get off market if they won’t notice gains with their opened bullish positions.

This will most probably be the trending for the bear traders if the BTC price’s consolidation continues to drag on for a long period of time and this would be something the traders should protect their investments against.

The value of BTC has not been capable to keep the gaining uptrend above the $7,000 level and this trend has to be an issue the bulls.

Bitcoin (BTC) prices continue to consolidate

The price consolidation is not only affecting the trading value of BTC but it seems that all the cryptocurrencies market is affected by similar conditions.

On the other hand, the USD was not too strong at this time, so it’s still a big surprise that the cryptocurrencies market wasn’t capable of gaining momentum today and score huge gains against the Dollar.

However, this proves the sentiment that was characterizing the Bitcoin (BTC) market and the crypto market, in general, at this time because the speculations and fast traders become fewer and fewer on the cryptocurrencies market, as this market started to maturate more.

Forecasts regarding Bitcoin (BTC)

Looking ahead for today and tomorrow morning, there are not notable predictions to make on the cryptocurrencies market and most probably more consolidation and in-range prices movements are expected. However, it is possible that the Bitcoin (BTC) support level to be under pressure, once again, and, thus, the investors and traders should keep an eye on the market and be alert on the price movements.
