Yep. She's my junior senator, I was disappointed to see her acting like "Hey, look at me" Lindsey Graham. I expected Susan Collins (from ME, a blue state) to be wishy-washy, but not Joni.

Kurt Schlichter had some thoughts on her position, and that might have driven home the point to her.

She voted to confirm the totally useless and unqualified Lloyd Austin. So, she has no excuses to not support Hegseth.

I suspect the scathing emails she got from her constituents, mine included, just may have had a bit of sway on her decision to get on the Trump Train. A lot of us offered to take her to the station (and not to get on the Trump Train) if she didn't start supporting the nominees. I don't think she liked being called a potential RINO.

FBI Director Christopher Wray preparing to resign

By Kerry Picket - The Washington Times - Monday, December 9, 2024

FBI Director Christopher A. Wray plans to resign on or before Inauguration Day, The Washington Times has learned.

Mr. Wray is calling it quits because he doesn’t want to get fired by President-elect Donald Trump, according to sources inside the bureau who are familiar with the director’s thinking.

“He’s going to be gone at the inauguration. On or before the inauguration,” a source said.

Following Mr. Wray’s departure, Deputy Director Paul Abbate will become acting director and appoint an acting deputy director. Mr. Abbate’s original plan was to stay until May or June so he could help with the transition to a new FBI director.

Kash Patel, Mr. Trump’s pick to lead the FBI, is meeting Republican senators on Capitol Hill this week. Mr. Patel, who has served as the defense secretary’s chief of staff and senior adviser to the National Security Council, was tapped by Mr. Trump to shake up the FBI management.

Mr. Wray knew his days were numbered at the FBI.

Sen. Charles E. Grassley, the Iowa Republican who will become chairman of the Judiciary Committee next month, sent a scathing letter Monday to Mr. Wray saying he should be ousted before his 10-year term as FBI director is up — and he said Mr. Abbate should go, too.

Mr. Grassley’s letter changed Mr. Abbate’s plans, and he is now looking for an alternate acting deputy director to appoint.

“For the good of the country, it’s time for you and your deputy to move on to the next chapter in your lives,” Mr. Grassley wrote in the letter to Mr. Wray. “I therefore must express my vote of no confidence in your continued leadership of the FBI.”

Mr. Grassley, who is a leading lawmaker advocating for the protection of whistleblowers, has repeatedly clashed with the FBI over whistleblower reports of abuse of power and other misconduct at the bureau.

The allegations included politically biased investigations and a bizarre chain of events in which the FBI appeared to try to discredit Mr. Grassley and GOP Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin as the two senators probed the Biden family.

The raid on Mr. Trump’s home, where agents sought classified documents, also loomed large in Mr. Grassley’s complaints.

“In that raid, roughly 30 armed agents entered the home of a former president of the United States, with full authorization to use lethal force if needed to execute its warrant, and even searched the former First Lady’s clothing drawers,” Mr. Grassley wrote.

The FBI responded with a statement to The Times.

“The FBI has repeatedly demonstrated our commitment to responding to Congressional oversight and being transparent with the American people. Director Wray and Deputy Director Abbate have taken strong actions toward achieving accountability in the areas mentioned in the letter and remain committed to sharing information about the continuously evolving threat environment facing our nation and the extraordinary work of the FBI,” the statement said.

IG finds Justice Department spied on Patel and other congressional staffers without telling courts

https://justthenews.com/accoun..._campaign=newsletter

The Justice Department spied on two House members and and several congressional staffers in a leak investigation without telling the courts, the agency's inspector general found in a sweeping investigation released Tuesday.

As a result, the department obtained phone records from the two members of Congress and 43 staff members including President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, Kash Patel, who worked as a staffer on the GOP-led House Intelligence Committee at the time.

The department initiated the probe to investigate leaks to the media of FBI classified information as part of the now-discredited Trump-Russia probe which had recently been shared with Congress.

Inspector General Michael Horowitz found that the Justice Department, in filings with the court, did not reference “the fact that they related to requests for records of Members of Congress or congressional staffers," despite implicating constitutional separation of powers between two government branches.

You can read the report below:

File
IG report on leak investigation.pdf
Patel, who is poised to become the new director of the FBI if confirmed, previously sued former Trump Justice Department officials and FBI Director Christopher Wray, accusing them of violating his Fourth Amendment right to protection from unreasonable searches and seizures when they tried to obtain Patel's personal records, Just the News previously reported.

Patel said he was completely unaware of the subpoena until December 2022, when Google notified him about it.

Another former staffer, Jason Foster, previously told Just the News that he confirmed that the government successfully asked a federal court to hide its spying on Congress for five consecutive years.

Foster is now the head of the Empower Oversight whistleblower center. In 2017 at the time of the secret surveillance, he was the chief investigative counsel for Sen. Chuck Grassley on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

The seizure of his personal data occurred in 2017 while he worked for the Senate, and ordinarily under the original court order, Foster would have been notified a year later. But because the DOJ sought court approval ex parte to keep its surveillance secret, he wasn’t alerted until earlier this fall, six years after the initial subpoena.

Very interesting chart in this article. 17 Bellweather counties in the US have had an average 96% success rate in voting for the eventual Presidential winner from 1988 thru 2024 - except for 2020.

In 2020, 16 of those 17 counties voted for Trump when Biden supposedly "won". In 2024, those same 17 counties went back to an 88% success rate by voting for Trump.

If you have ever had any doubts about the 2020 election being stolen, this chart should eliminate them completely. I don't know this writer, nor do I know the "Populist Times", but the Ultra Liberal Wikipedia has the exact same results.

(Sorry, I can't paste the chart)
