There is simply no one in the District of Corruption except for President Trump that is not complicit in the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
They can’t expose Obama and his crimes without exposing their own culpability.
I agree. He strikes me as sane and is not swayed by wishful thinking. I’ve followed him for many years and always look for his opinions on legal topics.
The thing that struck me in what he said was- the very thing he told us would NOT happen, has in fact, happened. He was certain there was no monkey business with the FISA warrants, based on his experience. Today, he is willing to admit his mistake, and his shock and worry is evident.
We are so fortunate to have him. I would be over the moon if he became our AG.

McCarthy was late to the party. The real stuff was before his time and in the house, not the senate.
Think Richard Nixon.
Andrew McCarthy could do what Sessions won’t do. Sessions has recused himself until he is fired, resigns or it is the end of the Administration.
it’s beyond disgusting how this story is being reported around the world.
it’s as if FBI, not DOJ, decided on their own to release documents (no mention of heavily-redacted) to show they believed/knew Trump campaign guy was a Russian agent.
that is not news.
the real story.
after long fight, Judicial Watch obtains FISA warrant documents showing fake anti-Trump dossier, financed by Hillary Clinton and DNC, was instrumental in obtaining FISA warrant, which was then used to spy on Trump campaign.
I don’t think the judges are compromised. I think they’re neverTrumper America haters.
Judging by the amount of flak Trump and conservatives are taking, I would say the bombers are over the target. They are insane from everything Trump - the Mueller trip, the Putin Trump meeting, poor dying kids on the border, etc. I have never seen it so rancid.
They were both right, and both unjustly demonized the rest of their lives for it.
Their collective prescience is surely (and tragically) vindicated these days.
Do we know who actually did the reduction of the documents? Do we have an individual’s name?
The person in charge of redactions would be John Demers, Assistant Attorney General of the National Security Division.
I’d guess he just signed off on what Chris Wray and his underlings sent over from the FBI.
As we learned from Rosenstein’s testimony, these guys just shrug and sign off on whatever underlings present. They don’t take their supervisory positions seriously.
A few in the Freedom Cause are true patriots who follow the Condtitution. They are just hamstrung by the GOP establishment traitors.
I’ve been saying this for a while...they judges MUST have been in on it. They can’t be that incompetent.
I agree, if they weren’t complicit in this Sedition, James Comey and Rosenstein would STILL BE IN JAIL FOR CONTEMPT and facing FELONY CHARGES of perpetrating a Fraud upon the Court, they would ave Called them in to court to explain themselves and would have left in CHAINS!!!
LOCK THEM ALL UP!!!
CONGRESS IS THEIR DADDY and has ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY over ALL OF THEM, they are ALL a creation of congress, the ONLY reason they have not acted yet is the Leadership of BOTH PARTIES IS INVOLVED or are actively protecting their buddies, just as bad if not worse.
Congress has ALL the power in washington, the executive and judicial branch operate according to the whims of CONGRESS!
“U.S. CODE
TITLE 2—THE CONGRESS
CHAPTER 6—CONGRESSIONAL AND COMMITTEE PROCEDURE; INVESTIGATIONS
Sec. 193. Privilege of witnesses
No witness is privileged to refuse to testify to any fact, or to produce any paper, respecting which he shall be examined by either House of Congress, or by any joint committee established by a joint or concurrent resolution of the two Houses of Congress, or by any committee of either House, upon the ground that his testimony to such fact or his production of such paper may tend to disgrace him or otherwise render him infamous.”
Simply look up Hinds Precedents, especially chapters 53 and 51, and Cannon’s Precedents, especially chapters 184-185. You’ll find numerous detailed cases of Congress asserting its power, arresting people, holding them until they agreed to answer questions, and then releasing them. Some of these people did not refuse to appear, but simply failed to satisfactorily answer questions.
Congress can Remove the President
Congress can remove the head of every executive agency Congress can remove ALL of their employees
Congress can Abolish every agency they so choose
Congress can remove EVERY JUDGE IN AMERICA, including every supreme court justice.
Congress can abolish every federal court except the supreme Court
Congress can decide which cases the Judicial Branch can hear and decide
CONGRESS can Imprison ANYONE they want for any reason they so desire for as long as they wish. EXCEPT The President and Vice President
Congress can declare WAR
No other governing body has even 10% of the power CONGRESS has!!
CONGRESS IS ALLOWING ALL OF IT!!!
Congress has the authority to arrest and imprison those found in Contempt. The power extends throughout the United States and is an inherent power (does not depend upon legislated act)
If found in Contempt the person can be arrested under a warrant of the Speaker of the House of Representatives or President of the Senate, by the respective Sergeant at Arms.
Statutory criminal contempt is an alternative to inherent contempt.
Under the inherent contempt power Congress may imprison a person for a specific period of time or an indefinite period of time, except a person imprisoned by the House of Representatives may not be imprisoned beyond adjournment of a session of Congress.
Imprisonment may be coercive or punitive.

In 1857, a New York Times reporter refused to say which members of Congress had asked him to get them bribes (protecting his “sources” just as various Judith Millers today protect the people who feed them proven lies that costs thousands of lives), so Congress locked him up until he answered and then banned him from Congress.
In 1924 an oil executive appeared but refused to answer certain questions, so the Senate held — literally held — him in contempt. Senator Thomas Walsh of Montana argued that this question of contempt was of the gravest importance, and that it involved “the very life of the effective existence of the House of Representatives of the United States and of the Senate of the United States.” The matter was taken to court, and the witness fined and imprisoned.
“The media” is the Associated Press and its membership. Which is a group which is in intimate contact on a continual basis via the AP “wire.” Effectively they have been in a virtual meeting since before the Civil War. Adam Smith essentially predicted the result:Courts and then prisons should be filled with people from Obama’s Administration and from the FBI.People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public, or in some contrivance to raise prices. - Wealth of Nations (1776)IOW, anyone who assumes that journalists within the AP orbit are not conspiring against the public is naive.You and I both know that socialism, in fact if not in theory, is precisely a conspiracy against society. Government in general is justified only on the assumption of the existence of evil in society. If you assume that evil is endemic to society - if you assume that negativity towards society is objective - you will be naive towards government, and the extent to which more government is better government. Cynicism towards society oozes from commercial “if it bleeds, it leads” journalism. The "conspiracy against the public” produced by the wire services in general and the AP in particular is precisely the socialist propaganda of “the MSM.”
This can never happen until and unless the public writ large shakes off the thrall of what Adam Smith called “The natural disposition . . . to believe” journalism.The AP is no longer “too big to fail” because the public can get the news from a multitude and variety of sources online. The AP should be sued into oblivion under the Sherman AntiTrust Act.
Good post.
Paul Ryan has been compromised.
Just like Sessions.
Imho.

Even NeverTrumper Andrew McCarthy finally crawls out from under one of the rocks he was about to throw.
If only we had an Attorney General....
