Rod Rosenstein's Telling House Testimony

By Jeff Carlson

Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein and FBI Director Chris Wray testified yesterday before the House Judiciary Committee. It proved interesting. Very interesting. And informative.

At the start, Representatives Sheila Jackson Lee and Jerrold Nadler repeatedly questioned the validity of the hearing. Following the break, Points of Order were loudly raised (particularly by Ted Lieu) as Strzok testimony was raised in questioning by Rep. Ratcliffe.

Democrats appeared unusually nervous and remained contentious throughout the hearing. Almost as if they were worried over what Rosenstein might have to say…

Rosenstein delivered an intriguing opening statement which can be found here.

FBI Director Wray’s statement, which proved less interesting, can be found here.

I’m awaiting a transcript as there appeared to be many subtleties and nuances throughout the hearing.

There are many opinions regarding Rosenstein. I have gone back and forth myself.

The Secret History of U.S. Border Separation Policy

By Hans A. von Spakovsky

Who truly is responsible for the 2,000 alien kids who, according to the Associated Press, recently have been separated from their detained illegal alien parents?

There is a lot of blame to share. That includes President Bill Clinton and the alien parents themselves, as well as the courts and immigration policies foolishly created by the Obama administration. The perverse incentives in those policies have endangered the lives and safety of children and helped fund the deadly Mexican drug cartels that run the trafficking networks on our southern border.

You would not know that based on the absurdly biased coverage and virulent protests that have occurred. The Trump administration is simply doing what it is constitutionally charged with doing—enforcing the law.

The Real Reason Democrats Won’t Press Charges Against their Thieving Pakistani IT Staffers

By Nick Givas

Editor-in-Chief of The Daily Caller News Foundation, Chris Bedford, shed light on a hacking scandal Wednesday surrounding Democratic Rep. Yvette Clarke and her possible ties to Pakistan.

“These allegations bring a new kind of allegation to the whole Awan case. So far we’ve really been dealing with hacking and unauthorized access to networks, possibly ferreting information back to Pakistan,” Bedford said on Fox Business’ “Mornings With Maria.” “Now we actually have people who are implicating a chief of staff for a congresswoman, Yvette Clarke. Chief of staff Shelley Davis.”

Bedford said Davis was implicated by Clarke’s deputy chief of staff Wendy Anderson, who suspected Davis was working with Abid Awan to steal equipment and information from Congress.

The Little Blue Drizzle

By Rush Limbaugh

I told you a month ago, six weeks ago, two months ago when we were talking about the midterm elections in November, and the Democrats were out there going on and on and on about their blue wave. By the way, has that kind of blown up now? But you remember when I said that, in my humble opinion, the events that are gonna shape the election in November haven’t even happened yet?

This is the kind of thing that I was exactly talking about. The Supreme Court rulings this week, the upset of an insider, lifelong Democrat by the name of Joe Crowley by an abject 28-year-old outsider, who is an inexperienced communist, for all intents and purposes, in New York that has shaken the Democrat Party.

WHOA: New York Communist Beats Chair of House Democrat Caucus, Rumored Pelosi Successor

By Clevenger

Lest there be any doubt that their party has moved drastically to the left, Democrats just elected a self-avowed socialist over the current Chair of the House Democratic Caucus.

10-term incumbent Rep. Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.) was widely rumored as a possible successor to Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi.

Crowley was a reliable vote for Pelosi’s far-left agenda, but Democrats instead chose a radical 28-year-old socialist who supports the abolition of ICE, government-guaranteed jobs, and single-payer health care.

THE WORST IS YET TO COME: The Inspector General may be preparing us for the real #Spygate bombshells

By Julie Kelly

In the media’s rush to exploit the plight of migrant children this week, the public testimony of Michael Horowitz has been buried or, more likely, ignored by the news media.

Horowitz, the Justice Department’s inspector general, testified for more than 10 hours on Capitol Hill, taking questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday and from a joint congressional committee on Tuesday.

Since the June 14 release of his 568-page report on the department’s handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation, Horowitz has been criticized for concluding that the agency’s decision to forego charges against Clinton was unrelated to the political views of those in charge.

THE HIDDEN SUBTEXT OF THE I.G. REPORT: Tyranny Has Finally Arrived in America

By Bruce Thornton

The Department of Justice Inspector General’s Report released last week didn’t tell us anything we didn’t know, but merely added more damning evidence for the corruption of the FBI and its investigations over the last few years. More worthy of comment, as Andy McCarthy writes, is its refusal to use common sense and note the obvious interconnections among the various bad actors, and the bond of political bias, seasoned with careerism and arrogance, that united them.

House Judiciary Committee Subpoenas Rogue FBI Agent Peter Strzok

By Chuck Ross

House Committee on the Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte on Friday subpoenaed former FBI Agent Peter Strzok to appear for a deposition next week.

Goodlatte issued the subpoena even though Strzok’s attorney said that Strzok is willing to testify voluntarily before Congress.

“We regret that the Committee felt it necessary to issue a subpoena when we repeatedly informed them that Pete was willing to testify voluntarily,” Strzok lawyer Aitan Goelman said in a statement after Goodlatte issued the subpoena.

A statement on the Judiciary Committee’s website said that the panel has “repeatedly requested to interview Mr. Strzok regarding his role in certain decisions, but he has yet to appear.”

EXPOSED: California Democrats’ Illegal Alien Voting Scam

by Lloyd Billingsley

“The California state budget on Gov. Jerry Brown’s desk puts tens of millions of dollars into programs that could help undocumented immigrants fight federal efforts to deport them,” the Sacramento Bee reports, “including opening up $10 million to hire lawyers for unaccompanied minors trying to stay in the U.S.” For that crowd, the Democrats’ $200 billion budget has even more to give.

The budget “expands funding for immigration legal services offered through the Department of Social Services and public colleges,” and “includes $1.6 million to build a team of eight attorneys and investigators in the Labor Commissioner's office at the Department of Industrial Relations.” This team will enforce AB 430, “a state law that requires businesses to tell their employees when they’re contacted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.” As the report notes, “employers face penalties of $2,000 to $10,000 if they fail to notify their workers of a pending immigration action.”

Is The United States On A Road To Becoming Ungovernable?

By Michael Snyder

For a long time I have observed the rancor in modern American political discourse, and I have become concerned about where all of this anger and frustration is taking us. In order for any society to function, there must be some form of government. And in order for government to function, a certain percentage of the population has to be willing to submit to the authority of that government. For example, there will always be a few tax protesters out there that refuse to pay their taxes, but if every single American suddenly decided to stop paying taxes our system of taxation would collapse overnight. Sure, the government could prosecute thousands of us, but if that crackdown still didn’t motivate people to start paying their taxes there is not much that could be done. The only reason any form of government works is because enough people buy into the narrative that the government is legitimate and should be respected. Here in the United States, fewer and fewer people are buying into that narrative.

The Pew Research Center, Gallup, and NPR have all run polls that show that faith in government is near all-time lows in the United States. A lot of us have been let down so many times, and most of us simply do not “believe in America” like we once did. Yes, we may still believe in “the people” or “the values” that the nation was founded upon, but at our core we just do not have faith in our governmental institutions.
