Pam Bondi shuts Dem senator's attacking Trump nominee

During her confirmation hearing to become the U.S. Attorney General on Wednesday, Pam Bondi encountered sharp questioning from a senior Democratic senator concerning her support for President-elect Donald Trump's nominee for FBI Director, Kash Patel.

Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) grilled Bondi over Patel's previous statements, including his idea to close down FBI headquarters and his mention of an "enemies list." Blumenthal asked, "Is that a person who, appropriately, should be the FBI director? Aren't those comments inappropriate? Shouldn't you disavow them and ask him to recant them?"

Bondi responded, "Senator, I am not familiar with all those comments. I have not discussed those comments with Mr. Patel." She continued, despite Blumenthal's attempt to interrupt, "Excuse me. What I do know is Mr. Patel was a career prosecutor. He was a career public defender, defending people. And he also has great experience within the intelligence community."

She added, "What I can sit here and tell you is, Mr. Patel, if he works with running the FBI, if he is confirmed, and if I am confirmed, he will follow the law. If I am the attorney general of the United States of America, and I don't believe he would do anything otherwise."

Blumenthal countered, "Well, let me just submit that the response that I would have hoped to hear from you is that those comments are inappropriate, and that you will ask him to disavow or recant them when he comes before this committee, because they are indeed chilling to fair enforcement and the rule of law."

This confrontation followed similar questioning by Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), who also brought up what Democrats have described as Patel's "enemies list." This refers to a list of 60 individuals in Patel's book "Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth, and the Battle for Our Democracy," whom he labeled as part of the "deep state."

Bondi defended Patel during Whitehouse's questions as well, while asserting that there would never be an "enemies list" at the Department of Justice under her leadership. Whitehouse, as you may know, is not the sharpest senator.

Cuomo being considered for AG slot

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) has in effect, killed ten times more Americans than Osama bin Laden and then bragged about how he is saving America. He even wrote a book about it.

The Associated Press reports that Cuomo is actually being considered along with several others, for consideration by almost President-elect Joseph Robinette Biden for the attorney general slot. 

Imagine four years of his annoying voice and President Harris' horse laugh.

The other three clowns up for consideration include former Alabama Sen. Doug Jones, federal appeals court judge Merrick Garland and former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, the anonymous secret source told the AP, who cautioned that no decision has been reached and no announcement is to be expected anytime soon.

The AP reported that Jones and Garland had emerged as the two front-runners in the search process.

Cuomo's mouthpiece did not immediately return emails seeking comment on Friday.

It isn't known how the investigation into Biden's drug- and sex-addled son, Hunter, might have screwed up the AG search process given that whoever is chosen would inherit the Hunter Biden probe, assuming if it remains active after the inauguration, should Biden be declared the winner, and assuming his mental status hasn't further deteriorated.

If Cuomo lands the AG job, he would be the first person in that position to have won an Emmy for his TV performances with his brain injured buffed brother, Chris, in Comedy News Network's "Bro Show."

It isn't known how serious Cuomo was being considered for the position, and Republicans would be livid should he get the tap on the shoulder by Biden--or Harris if Biden is put into a nursing home prior to the inauguration--assuming Trump doesn't win.

The Race Hustling Al Sharptongue, who met with Biden on Tuesday to discuss the selection of a non-white attorney general, told "reporters" that he tried to get him to chose a black person, or at least any non-white, but agreed that he'd go along with Biden if he chose a honky so long as he or she hated Trump supporters.

Meanwhile, Sharptongue has managed to stay out of prison--he must know someone.

BREAKING: Trump fires Sessions

It comes as no surprise that President Trump hasn't been happy with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, but it still comes as a bit of a shock that he would fire him just hours after the midterm elections.

And he made the announcement the way he loves best: he did it on Twitter:

"We are pleased to announce that Matthew G. Whitaker, Chief of Staff to Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the Department of Justice, will become our new Acting Attorney General of the United States. He will serve our country well. ..."

Sessions issued his own resignation letter in which he admitted that he was resigning at the president's request. He explained in the letter that "we have restored and upheld the rule of law--a glorious tradition that each of us has a responsibility to safeguard. We have operated with integrity and have lawfully and aggressively advanced the policy agenda of this administration."

Whitaker has previously been quite critical of the Mueller investigation and now that Sessions is gone, Rod Rosenstein will no longer be in an oversight position over the Mueller investigation.

When Sessions had recused himself from the Mueller investigation it negatively impacted on the president's relationship with him and it seemed that Sessions' firing would eventually be a sure thing based on Trump's history of how he dealt with those who oppose him.

For certain, Sessions was no Eric Holder. He ran the DOJ honestly and did his duty, not as a "Wingman" for the president as Holder said he was to Obama, but as an honest chief law enforcement officer of the United States.

It's unknown whether Whitaker will do anything to impede or end the Mueller investigation, only time will tell as it seems to be coming to a conclusion anyway.

We also need to wait and see who Trump will select to replace Sessions, but with the new Senate majority, it will be fairly easy to do so.

Trump may fire Sessions or not

President Trump is talking with advisers to discuss the idea of firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions as he continues to publicly rage against the AG's decision to recuse himself over the Russian meddling of the 2016 presidential campaign. 

It's obvious that Trump is extremely angry at Sessions, referring to him as "beleaguered" in a tweet, but while he frequently talks about making staff changes, he often fails to follow through, or perhaps changes his mind.

Trump tweeted Monday:

"So why aren't the Committees and investigators, and of course our beleaguered A.G., looking into Crooked Hillarys (sic) crimes & Russia relations?"

Department of Justice officials say that Sessions is in "good spirits."

The criticism with which Trump has been discussing Sessions has created speculation that either Trump will fire him or he will resign. 

Someone shouted a question during a White House event asking whether Sessions should step down--Trump ignored the question. Last week, however, Sessions said that he intended to stay on the job.

Should Sessions go, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein would be next in line for the position, at least as acting AG. But it was Rosenstein who appointed Mueller and Trump has been sharply critical of him, both in public and private for that move.

Four White House officials leaked on condition of anonymity because they valued their jobs, to discuss private conversations.

If Sessions goes and Rosenstein moves up, Trump might ask him to fire Robert Mueller, the special counsel leading the investigation, because of his hiring of all Hillary Clinton supporters to help in the investigation. Trump rightfully believes the deck is stacked against him.

Sessions recused himself from the investigation knowing that it would raise eyebrows after he revealed that he'd met with a top Russian diplomat last year. And while the meeting is perfectly legal and normal, Democrats have attacked everyone in the Trump administration for ridiculous events. They would probably go after POTUS if they caught him using Russian salad dressing.

Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House and frequent Trump adviser noted that the president wears his feelings on his tweets and said he was probably just venting about Sessions and being "honest with his feelings. But that doesn't mean he's going to do anything."

Gingrich admitted, however, that such statements by the president would have repercussions with staff morale.

"Anybody who is good at team building would suggest to the president that attacking team members of your team rattles the whole team," Gingrich said.

Sessions and Trump were close at one time. Trump even momentarily shared the same ideology as Sessions and it was he who backed Trump's campaign and gave the reality TV star political 'cred'.

After Trump public rebuke of Sessions last week, the AG seemed determined to stay on the job and said of that it "goes beyond anything that I would have ever imagined for myself."

"I'm totally confident that we can continue to run this office in an effective way," Sessions said.

It would be a mistake to fire Sessions, especially over his recusal, which to many people was the proper thing to do. Many in his base might have second thoughts.

AG Sessions drops the ax on 46 Obama-appointed attorneys

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has told the remaining 46 U.S. attorneys to clear out their desks and leave the building. The move was described by the Justice Department as part of an effort to ensure a "uniform transition."

The DoJ said that some attorneys already left the department, as in prior transitions, but we can assume the media is going to attack Sessions and Trump for this horrendous cruelty. 

"The Attorney General has now asked the remaining 46 presidentially appointed U.S. Attorneys to tender their resignation," a spokeswoman said in a statement.

"Until the new U.S. Attorneys are confirmed, the dedicated career prosecutors in our U.S. Attorney's Offices will continue the great work of the Department in investigating, prosecuting, and deterring the most violent offenders," the statement added.

It is customary, although not automatic, for the nation's 93 U.S. attorneys to leave their positions once a new president is in office. Usually, most are replaced in the first year or two.

Of course, the Democrats are attacking Sessions for giving the heave-ho to the U.S. attorneys.

Sessions, Russia and hypocrisy

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is getting backing from both sides of the aisle over leftists' calls for his resignation over revelations that he met with a Russian ambassador last year, which he omitted from recent congressional testimony. 

The Dumocrats are claiming the meeting was in concert with the Trump campaign.

Even Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO)  gave Sessions an unintended boost after she demanded Sessions' resignation and claimed she never called or met with Russia's ambassador. But tweets resurfaced showed she lied--at least twice.

Other former colleagues came to the AG's defense backing his claim he only met with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in his official capacity as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

"I've met with the Russian ambassador with a group, in my capacity, with a group of other senators," Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) told CNN. "That's in my official capacity. That's nothing. That's my job."

Sen. Roy Blunt (R-MO) said he'd spoken with "at least twenty ambassadors in the last six weeks."

He added that "It would have been very normal for Sessions, as a senator, to have talked to the Russian ambassador without discussing the election."

Old establishment leftists Chuck "Nostrils" Schumer and Nancy "Hands" Pelosi demanded Sessions resign. 

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) told MSNBC that he'd met with "six ambassadors in the last five months." Although he never met with Kislyak, Cruz said he'd do it in a heartbeat.

The leftist rag Washington Post, first reported that Sessions met with Kislyak in July and September despite his testimony during his confirmation hearing that he'd never spoke with Russian officials during the time he was a campaign surrogate for then candidate Donald Trump.

He maintains that he never spoke about campaign matters with the ambassador, and the White House has backed him.

In a politically motivated move to drive a stake into Sessions' heart, McCaskill tweeted Thursday that she had "been on the Armed Services Com for 10 years. No call or meeting w/Russian ambassador. Ever. Ambassadors call members of Foreign Rel. Com."

Except she lied.

Charles C.W. Cooke of National Review, uncovered 2 tweets  that McCaskill wrote in 2013 and 2015:

"Off to meeting w/Russian Ambassador. Upset about the arbitrary/cruel decision to end all U.S. adoptions, even those in process." McCaskill tweeted on Jan. 30, 2013

On Aug. 6, 2015 she tweeted: "Today calls with British, Russian, and German ambassadors re: Iran deal. #doingmyhomework."

True to liberal form, McCaskill blamed Twitter's character limit for the seeming disparity in her tweets, suggesting the limit prevented her from being more specific in Thursday's tweet, downplaying the significance of her own conversations with Russia's ambassador, and proving she has the credibility of a scorpion to a frog.

UPDATE: Acting AG tells DoJ staff "don't defend Trump's refugee order

UPDATE: She's fired! 

President Trump has fired Acting AG Sally Yates. He has every right to fire any Attorney General who refuses to back him up, as long as what is in question is legal. Like it or not, you have to admit, Donald Trump isn't your father's President.

Mr. Dana Boente will be taking Yates' place as Acting AG.

The news of her firing just came in at around 9:40 p.m. Monday.

Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, directed the Justice Department attorneys Monday not to defend President Trump's executive refugee and immigration ban. Yates is an Obama holdover until she can be replaced by the Trump administration.

The AG said in a memo that she was "not convinced" the President's order was lawful, not its defense consistent with the DoJ's obligation to "always seek justice and stand for what is right."

That sounds as if she's suggesting the President stands for what is wrong.

Her directive is likely to be temporary because Sen. Jeff Sessions will likely be the Attorney General and Yates will be back to practicing law on a less political level, one only hopes. Sessions is currently waiting for Senate confirmation.

However, Yates' decision has only increased the chaos surrounding the order. The Associated Press said that Defense Secretary James Mattis, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly and Rex Tillerson, who is awaiting confirmation as Secretary of State, are reportedly unaware of details of the directive until around the time the President signed it. Also, intelligence officials were not provided with the intel about the order.

Strange!

Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN) the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations committee, said despite White House assurances that congressional leaders were consulted, he learned about the order the same way Barack Obama learned about everything he learned as president: from the media.

There was immediate fallout between Trump and his top advisers and a sprint by the Pentagon to seek exemptions to the order. Trump's approach also sparked a public clash between the president and the civil servants who had to carry out his policy.

Bad!

Many American diplomats circulated a memo opposing the order which temporarily halted the entire US refugee program and banned entry from seven terrorist-spawning countries for 90 days. Sean Spicer, the White House Press Secretary and spokesman challenged those opposed to Trump's measure to resign.

"They should either get with the program, or they can go," he said.

The response from his own national security advisers exemplifies his weak relationship with them, as well as the incredible bureaucracy that exists in Washington. Trump outlined his plan for the temporary halting of US entry but it was crafted in a confusing way, stunning those who joined his team.

Mattis may be the most incensed. He along with Joint Chiefs Chairman Joseph Dunford were aware of the basic concept of Trump's order, but not the details. Tillerson told Trump's political advisers that he was baffled over not being consulted on the actual substance of the order.

Trump's order pauses the refugee program for 4 months and indefinitely bans all those from Syria, but it doesn't ban other countries with terrorist ties such as Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

While Trump privately acknowledges flaws in the rollout, he also blames the media, much like Obama blamed George Bush for all the problems he's facing. He said the voters who carried him to victory support the plan as a necessary step to safeguard the USA, and dismissed those opposed to it as attention-seeking rabble-rousers and grandstanding politicians.

That sounds like a dodge.

Let's hope this gets straightened out once Jeff Sessions, his SCOTUS appointment, is in office and his Cabinet is filled completely.

Elder on Booker re Sessions and me

Larry Elder, a Salem Radio host and person who followed me on Twitter then dropped me after I followed back just to get a lot of followers, said that Cory Booker (D-NJ) only testified against the Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) confirmation hearing for Attorney General because Booker is planning to run for president in four years.

Booker a former ineffective mayor of Newark, became the first senator in American history to testify against another's nomination to a cabinet post, making him pond scum.

"Cory Booker has been ready to run [for president] since preschool," Elder said, "his coming out party nationally was  to trash Jeff Sessions," with whom he worked to award medals to civil rights marchers.

As a hypocrite, Booker has a good chance to get the liberal nod in 2020, if Louis Farrakhan fan club wannabe president, Keith Ellison, doesn't beat him out.

Booker's testimony against Sessions shows the level of hypocrisy he will stoop to.

"Cory Booker used Jeff Sessions to beat up on Donald Trump," Elder said.

I hope he reconsiders and follows me on Twitter @robhoey

Al Sharptongue promises "Season of Disobedience" due to Sessions nod

The Revolting (Rev.) Al Sharptongue promised a "season of civil disobedience" because he isn't happy with President-elect Trump nor his nomination of Jeff Sessions (R-AL) for attorney general.

Sharptongue, an MSNBC host with an even lower IQ than Rachel Madcow, said activists planned a march on Jan. 14 during the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend to protest the Sessions nomination. The race baiter hopes to make a lot of money out of the event, but did not go into detail as to how he expects to line his pockets.

The chronically angry Sharptongue recalled a time when he spent 90 days in jail for protesting on U.S. Navy property against military exercises (exercise is something he has never done in his entire life) on the island of Vieques in 2001 during the George W. Bush presidency. He said that civil disobedience usually works because it changes policy.

"We're not just doing this to be doing it. We do it because doing it can lead to change just by doing it, and believe me, there will be a season of doing civil disobedience particularly around Sessions' nomination. That's why we're doing it, you know what I'm saying? Heh heh heh."

Sharptongue previewed the plan for the mass march, explaining that activists will visit the offices of various senators and make some house calls to "make them understand" they will be held accountable for voting in favor of Sessions, whose confirmation hearings in the Senate Judiciary Committee are scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday."

The senators will also be held accountable if they don't confirm Sessions, but Sharptongue forgot to mention that.

The puerile-minded Sharptongue claimed that Sessions has a poor record on issues such as civil rights, immigrant rights and LGBT rights (an issue that goes right to his cholesterol-rich heart). 

But Big Al neglected to speak about his own record on such issues as: the Tawana Brawley scandal, his calling for the murder of cops (see video above), his anti-Semitic rants (see video below) and his ongoing plethora of lies. 

The Revolting Al Sharptongue is a disgusting, opportunist human being and the fact that he has his own program on MSNBC should be all you need to know about that leftist network.

How this guy has been able to avoid prison, after not paying his taxes for one thing, is a mystery.

He is probably worried about the law, in fact, now that his buddy is leaving the White House.

Eric The Red Holder and Politics

 Eric Holder should be impeached.  The role of Attorney General is clear: uphold the Constitution of the United States and represent all Americans as AG. Holder does neither aspect of the job and is nothing more than a politician, and a crooked one at that.  Holder acts more like MSNBC's liberal flunky, Mister Ed, the Talking Horse's Butt, than a man of law who is supposed to maintain a balanced approach. And worst of all, he`s a divider, not a uniter. One could forgive him if he didn't act like the racist he accuses conservatives to be, but he keeps pulling out the race card every chance he gets.  Remember when PMSNBC declared back in 2008 that if you didn't vote for Obama, you were a racist?  Well, I believe that if you do vote for him again, you have to be crazy, stupid, or delusional.


I cannot remember a time when the Attorney General of the United States of America was on the campaign stump for the President who appointed him. Maybe my memory isn't perfect, but if you can recall an AG like Holder, getting politically involved, please inform me with a comment here. (I also wouldn't object to you checking out any of my blog ads as it helps defray the cost of eating). 


Fast and Furious, the DoJ debacle that helped cause the death of Border Agent Brian Terry, has become a non-news item, even for much of the conservative media. Sure, Fox has reported on it in brief, but there are other issues that have more of the interests of the right currently at play; specifically, the Wisconsin recall election and Obama's re-election bid.  Obviously, there's a lot at stake for both parties and tomorrow's race will be almost as important to the USA as the presidential race. It's looking good for Scott Walker, but I never count chickens when people are throwing eggs.


Anyway, have a good Monday.  If you like reading suspense fiction about what I see as a clear and present danger facing the Western nations, you might want to check out my novel, Jihad Joe.  It's available in both ebook form (almost free) and at Amazon, (not so free, but there's a lovely photo of me on the back cover).  I've posted the links below.  Peace out.

Holder: Should He Stay or Should He Go

Eric Holder, the 82nd Attorney General of the United States, is the first African-American to serve in this position. But who is he, and does he have a clue about what he's doing? You make the call.

How'd they find out?

Holder is from the Bronx, New York, where he went to Stuyvesant High School and Columbia College. He was a judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, was a US attorney and also a Deputy Attorney of the US. He worked at the Covington and Burling law firm in Washington D.C. and in 1997 was the Deputy Attorney General under the lovely and talented Janet Reno.  Holder was the Senior legal advisor to B. Hussein Obama during his presidential campaign. 

 Holder's first controversy that I will address is when he was involved with a Bill Clinton decision to reduce the criminal sentences of 16 members of the Boriqua Popular Army, which was categorized as a terrorist organization by the FBI.  Holder's clemency request was originally opposed by US Pardons Attorney Margaret Love in 1996m but in 1997, after there was no Love to be found, he proposed clemency to Clinton with a report from then US Pardons Attorney Roger Adams, whose opinion was neutral where Holder's was to allow for clemency of these terrorists. Clinton, feeling benevolent, granted clemency, which, under the circumstances, was unusual because the FBI, the federal prosecutor, and the victims of these 16 terrorists were against clemency.

Perhaps this can be explained by better understanding the Boriqua Popular Army, just in case they somehow got a bad reputation, or as they might say, "a bad rep."

The Boriqua Popular Army, aka Los Macheteros, or The Machete Wielders, was formed in Puerto Rico and they support PR's independence from "Colonial US rule." In 2007, one source reported they had about 5700 members, and many non-member supporters, perhaps even Holder, but there is no proof of that, other than his apparent support in court. The members of the Boriqua Popular Army pass the time writing letters to the government, reading law in order to make change, and helping old ladies cross the busy streets of San Juan before rescuing kittens from trees. Just kidding--they blow stuff up, attack US military targets, and commit armed robberies.
Their leader, fugitive Filiberto Ojeda Rios, died of a gun overdose in 2005. Holder, as far as we know, did not attend his funeral.

February 2009, Holder, a brave black man, gave his famous speech during Black History Month in which he called the US, "a nation of cowards," when it came to dealing with racial issues. This should explain why slavery was abolished, blacks have the right to vote, go to school, hold any job they are qualified to hold, and become President of the United States, and why Saudi Arabia doesn't even allow women to drive cars, go to school, hold any job, etc. Forget what they do to Jews, Bibles, and Christians trying to build churches in Saudi Arabia. Obama, in his infinite political wisdom toward the next election said of Holder's remark, "I think it's fair to say that if I had been advising my attorney general, we would have used different language." Doesn't this make you smile and realize that our president has an incredible set of brass balls? How much stronger could a president possibly rebuke his AG? How indirect can he get? "Are you hungry?" "Well, I'm not starving."

May 2009: The DoJ ended a civil suit originally begun with the Bush administration against the New Black Panther Party for voter intimidation due to their conduct during the 2008 election. Two men of the New Black Panthers were dressed in paramilitary uniforms, one holding a club, and both yelling racial insults at white voters and blocking their entrance to the voting booths inside the building.  None of the defendents appeared in court, but hey, why inconvenience them since they figured that Holder was going to drop the charges due to "lack of evidence." Evidence evidently doesn't include Youtube video that half the country viewed shortly after this disgusting incident in which the civil liberties of people were taken away from them. Some contend that the real reason Holder dropped the charges was because the DoJ is unwilling to prosecute minorities over civil rights violations.  In fact, during a House subcommittee discussing these issues, Holder argued that his behavior with the New Black Panther Party was not comparable to historical voter intimidation against minorities, "When you compared what people endured in the South in the '60s to try to get the right to vote for African Americans, to compare what people subject to that with what happened in Philadelphia . . . I think does a great disservice to people who put their lives on the line for my people."  So if he sees any group that's smaller than all of America as "my people" then why is he a United States of America Attorney General?

Does he CAIR?

And now we have the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) an unindicted co-conspirator to the Holy Land Foundation trials, being let off the hook by Holder. He has refused to prosecute and this keeps the US open for further terrrorist attacks. 

CAIR has been shown to be an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in the US. The documents recovered by the feds prove that CAIR, ISNA, MAS, and many more Islamic organizations are terror-tied in this country. But Holder, who in November 2009, spoke at a dinner for a group of community organizations, one of which was CAIR, and it appears he is siding with the wrong people. 

It's obvious that Holder refuses to do his job, but the latest story to float to the top of the toilet is Operation Fast and Furious, or Gunwalker. You are probably aware that ATF officials have been allowing the "bad guys" to buy illegal weapons for the Mexican drug gangs and that the DoJ is part of the equation. Since the start of the operation, ATF Special Agent, Brian Terry, was killed with one of the weapons sold to the gangs. Since it's inception, about 150 agents have been shot at or killed.

Gunwalker violates Federal Law Title 18 Section 922 that states that only a licensed dealor or manufacturer can engage in interstate or foreign firearms commerce. It's also a federal offense for a person to buy a weapon for another (straw buyer). Since this operation began, several agents have resigned from the ATF, and Special Agent John Dodson blew the whistle, but nothing was done about it and he was told to keep his mouth shut.

Did Holder know about Operation Gunwalker? Maybe; but if he didn't, and he is the Attorney General, what does that say about his competency? See the photo to the left . . . the far left.
