I'm glad Rep. Nehls didn't waste time waiting for Garland's slow-motion lies. The little bastard wouldn't recognize the truth if it bit him on the ass. And now, it's part of the Congressional Record. | |||

previously reported in this thread was DoJ lawsuit against Elon Musk for not hiring refugees now: https://www.breitbart.com/poli...ional-doj-complaint/ Elon Musk’s Space X has sued Attorney General Merrick Garland and other members of President Joe Biden’s administration over the “unconstitutional” U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) complaint issued against the company last month. The lawsuit filed last week comes after the DOJ alleged last month that SpaceX refused to hire people who were not U.S. citizens or green card holders. The DOJ said Musk’s company wrongly claimed federal laws prohibited them from hiring noncitizens. However, SpaceX’s lawsuit challenges the legitimacy of DOJ administrative judges who hear cases involving employment bias against noncitizens. The lawsuit alleges these judgeships violate the Constitution because they are appointed by the attorney general , instead of being appointed by the president. SpaceX has not engaged in any practice or pattern of discriminating against anyone, including asylees or refugees. To the contrary, SpaceX wants to hire the very best candidates for every job regardless of their citizenship status, and in fact has hired hundreds of noncitizens. But aside from being factually and legally insupportable, the government’s proceedings are unconstitutional for at least four reasons: (1) the administrative law judge (ALJ) adjudicating the government’s complaint was unconstitutionally appointed; (2) the ALJ is unconstitutionally insulated from Presidential authority because she is protected by two layers of for-cause removal protections; (3) the ALJ is unconstitutionally purporting to adjudicate SpaceX’s rights in an administrative proceeding rather than in federal court; and (4) the ALJ is unconstitutionally denying SpaceX its Seventh Amendment right to a jury trial. Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) pressed the DOJ for information regarding its lawsuit against SpaceX, as Breitbart News exclusively reported. “I was surprised to learn that the United States Department of Justice is suing SpaceX for favoring American citizens in hiring,” Vance wrote in a letter to Garland. “It is difficult to separate this new DOJ investigation of SpaceX from the Biden administration’s other interactions with Mr. Musk.” | |||

GOP Predicts Biden ‘Organized Crime Ring’ Received $50M, $30M More than Shown Republican lawmakers recently predicted their investigation into the Biden family could prove the Biden business raked in more than $50 million, about $30 million more than bank records show thus far. Speaking with Fox News’s Sean Hannity, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) supported Mace’s $50 million prediction. “Do you believe that number is realistic and right?” Hannity asked. “I do think it’s realistic,” Comer replied, noting the committee has yet to uncover personal bank records of Jim Biden, Joe Biden’s brother, who secretly negotiated a $140 million settlement deal in 2012 between a U.S. company and the Saudi Arabian government due to his relationship with then-Vice President Joe Biden, court documents revealed. “We haven’t gotten to Jim Biden,” Comer said. “The subpoena for Jim Biden’s personal bank records will be the first crack at Jim Biden. Remember, Jim Biden didn’t leave a laptop lying around, so it’s not been as easy to track his transactions.” Comer intends to subpoena Hunter and James Biden for personal and business bank records as soon as this week, a committee spokesperson told Breitbart News. Comer did not issue subpoenas sooner because the committee insisted on practicing restraint to “show good faith.” “We give people plenty of time. When you do subpoenas, if you want to win in court, you have to show good faith effort that you tried to get the information. So we’re checking some boxes,” Comer told Punchbowl News. “When we do subpoena, if we have to, then we’re going to win the subpoenas in court,” he warned. “It’s not just issuing a subpoena,” Comer said. “It’s about winning.” Comer explained he intends to issue about 12 subpoenas to individuals who might not willingly comply with the committee’s oversight. The potential subpoenas do not just pertain to the Biden family business scheme but additional investigations the committee has launched, such as the probe into President Joe Biden’s deadly Afghan withdrawal and Biden’s classified document scandal. https://www.breitbart.com/poli...e-its-about-winning/ | |||

Beau was a Democratic politician in Delaware. Draw your own conclusion. In relative terms: Less overtly corrupt than the other Bidens? Possibly, but that's like saying "Sexually-transmitted disease A is better than Sexually-transmitted disease B." | |||

FBI agent says prosecutors thwarted Hunter Biden charges, corroborating IRS whistleblowers https://justthenews.com/accoun..._campaign=newsletter An FBI supervisor has corroborated key aspects of two IRS whistleblowers’ testimony alleging that federal prosecutors slow-walked Hunter Biden’s criminal probe and declined last year to bring tax charges in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., according to an interview transcript reviewed by Just the News. The female FBI supervisor, whose name the Justice Department asked be kept private in the transcript, was interviewed recently by the House Judiciary Committee, and she chronicled her interactions with IRS agents Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler and Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, the lead prosecutor in the Hunter Biden probe. While the agent said she had different recollections than her IRS colleagues about certain aspects of the case and did not believe politics caused any delays, she confirmed there were instances in which prosecutors slowed the investigation. Specifically, she confirmed agents were concerned that the DOJ tried to use the 2022 midterm elections to delay action in the Hunter Biden case even though his father was not up for election last year. “I know that that had come up,” said the FBI agent, who worked in the Baltimore office that supervised cases in Delaware. “Delays related to the election?” she was asked. “Yes, I noted that had come up” the agent answered. The FBI generally has a rule that public actions not be taken in cases in the weeks before an election that could impact the outcome of the election, a rule that was not followed in 2016 when the bureau opened the Russia collusion probe against Donald Trump a few weeks before Election Day. Republicans have argued there was no reason to avoid action in Hunter Biden’s case in 2022 because Joe Biden wasn’t on the ballot during the midterm election. The agent also confirmed that the offices of the Joe Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys in Washington, Matthew Graves, and Los Angeles, Miguel Estrada, declined to bring criminal tax charges against Hunter Biden last year like Weiss sought. “Do you remember that Mr. Estrada also decided not to bring the case?” the agent was asked. “Yes,” she answered. “OK. So he decided not to partner or he rejected the case, whatever the term is?” she was pressed. “I understand that, yes, that a decision had been made that the Central District of California wasn't going to, I guess – my understanding is that they weren't going to bring the case on their own,” she answered. Likewise, she said, she had learned at some point that Graves’ office in Washington also declined to bring the charges wanted by Weiss against Hunter Biden. “Do you remember learning that the U.S. attorney for D.C. decided not to partner with Mr. Weiss on bringing the tax charges for 2014 and 2015?” she was asked. “I remember learning at some point in the investigation that Mr. Weiss would have to go through his other processes because the U.S. Attorney's Offices had, I guess, in that sense, using that terminology, wasn't going to partner,” she answered. The interview transcript also revealed that House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan’s investigators have ascertained that some of the prosecutors’ efforts to block investigative steps are captured in contemporaneous emails between Shapley and Assistant U.S. Attorney Leslie Wolf in Delaware. “In September of 2021, are you aware that Lesley Wolf emailed Gary Shapley stating, ‘I do not think you are going to be able to do these interviews as planned,'" adding that they would require approval from DOJ Tax Division "Are you aware of that?” the FBI agent was asked at one point. At another point, the FBI agent was asked: "Are you aware in October of 2021 Lesley Wolf emailed Gary Shapley and the investigative team that 'It will get us into hot water if we interview the President's grandchildren' ?” In both cases, a DOJ lawyer blocked the FBI agent from answering the questions. But the existence of such emails would provide further corroboration to Shapley’s claim that agents were blocked from conducting certain witness interviews, including ones on Hunter Biden’s children. The FBI agent did acknowledge she had some differences of opinion and recollections from her IRS colleagues, specifically that she did not remember Weiss claiming he had been rejected by DOJ headquarters from being named a special counsel last year. She also said she did not believe politics played a role in the delays and disputes between the agents and the prosecutors. “Do you recall if anybody said they thought the case had been politicized?” she was asked. “I don't,” she answered. “And, if somebody had said that they thought the case had been impacted by any type of political pressures, would you have recalled that?” “I think so,” she also said. She later added that if she had been asked during a meeting about politics infecting the probe she would have answered: “I would say from my opinion that it has not been politicized by the investigators. “I think everybody that was – and is working this ongoing matter are doing their jobs and are doing their jobs to the best of their ability. And if there's any political, you know, or anything being politicized, that is outside of the investigative entities." But she also said there were in fact problems with communications between prosecutors and agents. “I believe that includes both U.S. Attorney's Offices and the investigative entities as well,” the agent said. “So comprehensive of the whole team, I think that there have been communication issues. While Shapley and the FBI agent have a difference of opinion on whether politics played a role in the case, the FBI agent saId she had no reason to believe Shapley was lying. “My experience with Mr. Shapley is very limited. And so, with that limited experience, no, I didn't have any thoughts that he had lied about anything,” she told congressional investigators. _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."

I saw a Truth Social post from Donald Trump that was reposted on Twitter (but can't find it now) that said once Biden's handlers realized that Trump was going to visit the UAW this Wednesday, they rushed to get Biden's fossilized ass out there on Tuesday ahead of him. Sounds about right from this one-upping old fool | |||

And speaking of tripping and falling over... From the UK Daily Mail of course.

At what point does this become enemy action or even treason? Is the POTUS not tasked with protecting the citizens of the country he serves? https://x.com/charliekirk11/st...380286207070599?s=20 Please no one get crazy here and say anything stupid about a sitting POTUS, but this is astonishing to me. We are watching our country being overrun in real time and no one is doing shit about it from this administration. | |||

We are well past that point. At a minimum, he should have already been impeached. The Democrats impeached Trump, twice, at the drop of a hat, for nothing. Yet, the Republicans have no stomach for impeachment. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

Joe Biden's dog Commander bites another Secret Service agent https://www.washingtonexaminer...bites-secret-service Commander, the president's dog, has bitten another Secret Service agent. It's the 11th such instance during President Joe Biden's time in the White House. “Yesterday around 8 p.m., a Secret Service Uniformed Division police officer came in contact with a First Family pet and was bitten. The officer was treated by medical personnel on complex,” U.S. Secret Service Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi told CNN in a statement. The injuries don't appear to be severe, and the agent is doing OK, he said. In emails obtained by Judicial Watch, the frustrations of Secret Service agents were revealed. One remarked that the pet would have been put down if not the president's dog. Elizabeth Alexander, communications director for the first lady, said upon the revelation of the number of attacks from Commander that the first family has since been “partnering with the Secret Service and Executive Residence staff on additional leashing protocols and training, as well as establishing designated areas for Commander to run and exercise.” _________________________ "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it."
