Atria Investments Inc Purchases 2,132 Shares of Synovus Financial Corp. (NYSE:SNV)The first round of games are finally taking place for the 2024/25 Emirates NBA Cup . With eight total teams competing in the quarterfinals, only one team will eventually be awarded the In-Season tournament title, and one such NBA expert believes it will be the Oklahoma City Thunder . Headed by MVP-candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander , the OKC Thunder are looking like they are the best team in the tournament top to bottom. Here is how Loud City will eventually be crowned the second-ever champion of the NBA Cup. NBA expert picks OKC Thunder as NBA Cup champion Earlier today, Dec. 10, expert NBA writer for the Sporting News, Stephen Noh , published his ' updated picks, predictions, odds for 2024 in-season tournament '. With predictions for each round of the tournament, Noh determined that none other than the OKC Thunder would prevail. When it comes to the quarterfinals matchup of the Thunder and the Mavs , this will more likely than not be the most entertaining game of the tournament. With both teams increasing in skill levels since their last meeting during the 2023/24 Playoffs, Noh selected the Thunder to win due to their tremendous defensive acquisitions in the offseason: The Thunder are a different and better team than last year. They've added Isaiah Hartenstein and Alex Caruso, who have contributed into making them the best defense since the Bill Russell Celtics . Their 18-5 record is the best in the West. The semifinals had the Thunder playing the Golden State Warriors (with a Warriors win over the Houston Rockets). So far this season, the two teams have faced off twice and have split the series. The Thunder could have easily gone 2-0 against the Warriors, but their first matchup is where Chet went down with his hip injury . MORE: What channel is Thunder vs. Mavericks on today? Time, TV schedule, live stream for NBA Cup quarterfinal game. Since that game, Curry and other Warriors players have been facing numerous injuries and Noh believes that will be the ultimate factor in a Golden State loss: The Warriors still do have the possibility of getting an otherworldly Curry game and stealing this matchup. It happened earlier in the year, where he had 36 points in a win. But Curry has been battling some nagging injuries, and that's a tough outcome to count on. The Thunder should win this one. In the championship game, the Thunder are predicted to compete against the Atlanta Hawks. Although they would have defeated a potential New York Knicks and Milwaukee Bucks team, there will ultimately be very little Tre Young and his squad can do to stop Oklahoma City: The Thunder wiped the Hawks out in a 128-104 win in their third game of the season. Young had a decent game, but nobody else on the team could score. That is exactly what would happen in a rematch. As good as Young is at generating advantages, the Thunder have the best assortment of help-and-recover defenders in the league. Overall, Noh believes OKC are the favorites to come out of the West and defeat any team that would represent the East. With an assortment of possibilities and outcomes, it should be exciting to see how far the Thunder are able to go. If they do end up winning it all, it could make for a great confidence boost heading into the latter half of the season.

CNN reported that the Justice Department, in 2017, during Trump’s first term in office, secretly obtained records of Reps. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Eric Swalwell (D-CA), Patel – who was at the time a Republican staffer for the House Intelligence Committee – as well as 21 Democrat congressional staffers, 20 Republican staffers (including Patel,) two nonpartisan congressional staffers, and eight reporters. President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Patel to serve as the FBI Director. Career prosecutors at the Justice Department sought records, including emails from journalists at CNN, the Washington Post , and the New York Times . Horowitz wrote that seeking these communications based on “the close proximity in time between access to classified information and subsequent publication of the information... risks chilling Congress’s ability to conduct oversight of the executive branch.” He added, saying that such a move: ...exposes congressional officials to having their records reviewed by the Department solely for conducting Congress’ constitutional authorized oversight duties and creating, at a minimum, the appearance of inappropriate interference by the executive branch in legitimate oversight activity by the legislative branch. Horowitz did not find retaliatory motivation by the career prosecutors who issued the compulsory process of the lawmakers, staffers, and reporters, nor was the motivation based on party affiliation. He did not recommend charges again anyone in their review. The IG report found that the Justice Department did not disclose that the NDOs focused on lawmakers and congressional staffers, although Justice Department policy at the time did not require that. The Inspector General’s report recommended the Justice Department: Evaluate when advance notification to a senior Department, such as the Deputy Attorney General or Attorney General, should be required before compulsory process is issued to consider raising constitutional separation of issues Consider the circumstances in which NDOs should identify for the reviewing judge that the records covered by a proposed NDO are records of lawmakers or congressional staffers Consider whether there are circumstances in which an exhaustion requirement should be a requisite for issuing compulsory process to obtain records of members of Congress and congressional staffers The Justice Department also reportedly failed to comply with the Department’s News Media Policy, which includes: Specifically, DOJ failed to convene the News Media Review Committee to consider the compulsory process authorization requests; DOJ did not obtain the required Director of National Intelligence (DNI) certification in one investigation, and we were unable to confirm whether the DNI certification it obtained in another investigation was provided to the Attorney General before he authorized the request; and DOJ did not obtain the Attorney General’s express authorization for the NDOs that were sought for the compulsory process issued in the investigations. Patel has complained about the situation before, writing in a newsletter, “The DOJ illegally spied on me during the Russia Gate investigation!” He has since sued the Justice Department for secretly seeking access to his personal email account.
