PROBLEM: The Washington Post reports  Juli Briskman  was on  her  bicycle last month when Trump's motorcade drove by  her  on a northern Virginia road. A photo that quickly went viral shows  her  raising the middle finger of  her  left hand in defiance.
Briskman's face is not visible in the photo  but the Post quoted  her  as saying  she  told  her  bosses at Herndon  Virginia-based Akima LLC it was her.
 Briskman  says  she  was promptly fired from the government contracting firm and escorted out for violating the "code of conduct policy."  The newspaper  said Akima officials didn't return requests for comment.
 Briskman  says  she 's contacted the American Civil Liberties Union.  She  says  she 'd do what  she  did again.

SOLUTION: Juli Briskman

PROBLEM: Cory Gardner  used  his  power as a senator last month to freeze nominations for posts at the agency after U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinded Obama-era protections for states like Colorado that have broadly legalized recreational marijuana. It was a dramatic move by a Republican senator against his own party's attorney general and came after  Gardner  said Sessions had promised him there wouldn't be a crackdown.  Gardner  said  he  was placing holds on nominees until Sessions changed  his  approach.
The holds have created friction both with Sessions  who has complained that critical posts are going unfilled  and some of  Gardner 's fellow GOP senators who want key law enforcement officials in their states confirmed.
In an interview with The Associated Press   Gardner  said Thursday that  he 's discussed the issue with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and has been pleased with progress so far. Department leaders have "shown in good faith their willingness to provide what I think will be hopefully the protections we sought  and as sort of a good faith gesture on my behalf I'll be releasing a limited number of nominees  " Gardner  said.
 He  will release  his  holds on nominees for U.S. attorneys in a dozen federal districts  U.S. marshals in every district and on John Demers  who was nominated to head Justice's national security division.
 Gardner  stopped short of saying Rosenstein offered  his  assurances that the department would not crack down on the legal cannabis industry  but gave  him  enough comfort that Colorado's acting U.S. attorney  Bob Troyer  will continue to focus on prosecuting people acting outside of Colorado's voter-approved marijuana laws rather than those who follow them. That follows a pledge Troyer made the day Sessions announced  his  agency's new marijuana policy.
 Gardner  will continue to hold the nominations of seven top Department of Justice nominees.  He 's also working with a bipartisan group of members of congress to pursue legislation protecting states that have legalized marijuana.

SOLUTION:
Cory Gardner
