A fire hose style of nozzle such as this Craftsman model is great for medium to high pressure uses, though not suitable for watering delicate seedlings.

When connecting a hose to a hose bib, slowly tighten to stop leaks, but avoid damaging the host gasket by over tightening. Same for affixing a nozzle to hose. If, despite this effort, water leaks from the threads, wrapping Teflon plumber's tape (PTFE tape) clockwise around threads may help.

Despite multiple rejected-bids to build border wall segments for the US government, due to conceptual design flaws and lack of experience, Fisher Sand & Gravel constructed 3 miles in Texas and < 1 mile in New Mexico for "We Build the Wall." That, coupled with amplified visibility on Fox News, subsequently earned them billions in government contracts with support from President Trump. 60 minutes reported on the history of the company's wall projects, and problems such as erosion plaguing the Texas portion of the private wall, which was built directly on the Rio Grande river.

Update 01/20/2021: Steven Bannon pardoned by Donald Trump. However, since his co-defendants were not pardoned, his new immunity prevents him from invoking his 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination if called to testify against them.

The Mueller investigation discovered that retired Gen. Michael Flynn worked for the government of Turkey during 2016 without registering with the U.S. government as a foreign agent. In March 2017 he eventually did file his Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) statement, but he omitted information about the true nature of the work, for which the Flynn Intel Group was paid more than $500K.




For example,  Flynn's firm was hired to influence

• American opinion about who orchestrated the recent attempted-coup against Erdogan
• efforts to get cleric Fethullah Gulen, a legal resident of the U.S. whom Erdogan accused,  extradited to Turkey

FLYNN'S SUPPLEMENTAL FARA STATEMENT, MARCH 2017

 
Update 10/7/2020:
Attorneys for both Andrew McCabe and Peter Strzok filed letters accusing the government of recently  altering evidence provided to Flynn's defense team for their Sept. 24 filing to dismiss Flynn's case:

• misdating a page of Peter Strzok's notes to imply that Joe Biden initiated discussion of the Logan Act, even though other disclosed documents reveal that idea had been discussed previously at the FBI.
• heavily redacting and misdating a page of Andrew McCabe's notes

Now the Justice Department has admitted that it "inadvertently" altered evidence provided to Flynn's defense by adding sticky notes to pages of FBI notes before scanning them.

The Donald J. Trump Foundation, a "charitable" organization, was dissolved by court order in 2019 due to misuse of funds for personal, business and political purposes taking credit for some donations to the Foundation that were made by others failure by the Trump family (directors) to provide oversight or adopt legally required policies and procedures.
