During the hearing, Reyes ceased to act as an impartial factfinder and engaged in argumentation that made it very clear that she was dismissive of the idea that transgenders who are unable to deploy worldwide because of the absence of specialized medical treatment were a drag, so to speak, on readiness; //

The letter alleges many incidents but focuses on two. In one, she demanded to know the religious views of the DOJ attorney, Jason Lynch. Then, this incredible exchange happened.

"What do you think Jesus would say," Reyes proceeded to ask, about an action that revokes a transgender person's access to homeless shelters?

"Do you think he’d say ‘sounds right to me’ or ‘WTF, let them in?'"

Lynch extracted himself by saying, "The US government is not going to speculate about what Jesus would have to say about anything."

Not only was the questioning wildly inappropriate, but it also forced the government attorney to reveal his own religion and wonder how that would affect Reyes's view of his answer. //

after this display of stupidity, it is hard to believe that Reyes will not face a "motion to disqualify." Even if that motion is rejected, it will be appealed. If Reyes stays on the case and inevitably rules that transgenders are allowed in the military, the government will appeal, and Reyes's misconduct and abusive behavior will be a factor.

Martin's inquiries to Garcia and Schumer are part of an initiative that he reportedly calls "Operation Whirlwind," which was no doubt inspired by Schumer's notorious call to action in front of pro-abortion activists, and which was designed to zero in on threats made against public officials.

The letters have already sparked accusations that Martin is trying to stifle free speech. But after Democrats used Trump's Ellipse speech where he called for his supporters to "peacefully and patriotically" protest as an excuse to impeach and indict him as part of their lawfare campaign, few tears will be shed as the shoe transfers to the other foot.

When the charges against Adams were revealed, he was accused of big stuff...like taking airline upgrades and helping the Turkish embassy navigate NYC's byzantine building code system; see BREAKING: We Now Know the Charges Against New York Mayor Eric Adams – RedState. The charges were framed to look big time, but they were eerily reminiscent of the hit jobs done on Alaska Senator Ted Stevens and former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, where normal activities were mutated into federal felonies by lawyers out to get a scalp.

A sea change happened when Adams defended Trump at a press conference in the last days of the election: NYC Mayor Eric Adams Breaks With Dems Over Despicable Rhetoric: Trump Not a 'Fascist,' 'This Is America' – RedState. //

There was some speculation that Trump might pardon Adams; that didn't happen, but Trump did order DOJ to dismiss the charges against him; New: Trump Justice Dept. Directs Prosecutors to Dismiss Federal Corruption Charges Against Eric Adams – RedState. That's when the fun started. //

This shootout is nowhere near over. Bondi and Bove are still surrounded by disloyal and hostile staff. The judge in NYC is bound to do something other than accept the filing; otherwise, he'll be a social pariah. Ultimately, a judge can't force the government to prosecute a case it wants to dismiss.

It is good that this first battle came this early and over a fairly trivial issue. A lot of unreliable staff have been identified and are no longer employed. The attorneys who came to work for DOJ as a government service and not as a political commissar should now feel more comfortable knowing they have the support of the DOJ leadership team.

Pam Bondi wrote to DOJ on her first day in office, “Any attorney who because of their personal political views or judgments declines to sign a brief or appear in court, refuses to advance good-faith arguments on behalf of the administration, or otherwise delays or impedes the department’s mission will be subject to discipline and potentially termination, consistent with applicable law.” There is no doubt she is serious. //

If you want to know if the prosecution of Mayor Adams was political, ask yourself whether the DOJ would have prosecuted Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago under the same circumstances?

The answer is "NO"! Johnson just got caught with a closet full of bribes with more to come and DOJ prosecutors are nowhere in sight.

Adams went off the Democrat reservation when it came to illegal immigration and Johnson did not. Adams was prosecuted.

Engelmayer is the first judge ever to grant a temporary restraining order (TRO) against the president of the United States that also forbids a cabinet secretary from accessing his own records without giving these parties an opportunity to respond. He offered zero analysis of his constitutional authority to make such a radical ruling, the federal rule governing injunctions and temporary restraining orders, or why he is enabling fraud and grift by blocking access to records that show who got government money and for what. //

The situation is actually worse than that. Here’s the timeline of the court filings. All these initial documents were filed by New York Special Trial Counsel Colleen Faherty. //

1:04 a.m. — Faherty e-mailed four items — the complaint, the legal memorandum, her prior affirmation, and the order granting the TRO — to two government lawyers, only one of whom had been a recipient of her 7:32 p.m. email.

1:14 a.m. — The complaint was refiled with the deficiency corrected. Note that a properly filed complaint was not filed until more than a half-hour after Judge Engelmayer had already entered his order. //

The accelerated timeline is simply incredible, especially in view of the voluminous materials that any diligent judge would analyze to render a proper opinion. And I mean “incredible” in its literal sense of “not to be believed.”

The last documents filed in support of the request for a TRO were at 10:13 and 10:15 p.m. These included the legal memorandum with its citation to 54 court opinions. Did Engelmayer read these? Not a chance. Did he read any of them? If he did, you can’t tell it from his order, other than one citation from him to a single case that had no resemblance to the case before him. //

Even if Engelmayer had received and began to study these materials immediately after he had them all, he spent less than two-and-one-half hours reviewing and analyzing the materials presented to him before entering his order at 12:39 a.m.

That’s not even counting the time it would have taken Engelmeyer to write his order. If he took only a half-hour to do that, he spent less than two hours to peruse the voluminous record and then begin to write his order. He could not possibly have considered more than a small fraction of the cited cases and other authorities in that time. It raises the question of how much of this order was AI-generated.

Dear @elon, Please see this important letter. We will not tolerate threats against DOGE workers or law-breaking by the disgruntled. All the best. Ed Martin
11:46 AM · Feb 3, 2025

“Our initial review of the evidence presented to us indicates that certain individuals and/or groups have committed acts that appear to violate the law in targeting DOGE employees,” Ed Martin said.

“We are in contact with the FBI and other law-enforcement partners to proceed rapidly. We also have our prosecutors preparing,” Ed Martin added.

While we wait for Attorney General Nominee Pam Bondi to hopefully be confirmed, Interim D.C. U.S. attorney Edward R. Martin Jr. isn’t sitting around sipping tea, and on late Friday afternoon, he axed about 30 federal prosecutors who worked on J6 cases over the last four years. Different accounts are reporting different numbers, but at this hour, the Associated Press calls it “dozens” of personnel fired while the Washington Post reports “about 30.” //

The prosecutors were on probationary status after being converted to full-time from shorter-term positions after Election Day under circumstances the Trump administration is investigating, according to documents from Martin and acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove that were emailed around 5 p.m. and viewed by The Washington Post. //

That wasn’t Martin’s only move, however, and on January 21 he sent a letter to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) inquiring about Schumer’s incendiary comments aimed at the Supreme Court in 2020 when he appeared to call for violence against the justices. //

“We take threats against public officials very seriously. I look forward to your cooperation,” Martin wrote Schumer in a Jan. 21 letter obtained by The Post.

There is something inherently wrong with the idea that the leader of the executive branch of government cannot fire persons under his authority, tasked with implementing his policy, in the executive branch. That is all kinds of "only in Washington" dumb. Trump is right to blast through that and try to tee up a SCOTUS decision. In the meantime, I will breathe a sigh of relief that these people are removed from their positions of power. Democrat appointed workers in the administrative state are open sores that need to be cut out. //

Milley reminds me of General Thomas Conway, the backstabber who conspired with others to replace George Washington with Horatio "Granny" Gates. What a disaster that would have been. To get satisfaction, Washington encouraged his supporters to challenge the conspirators to duels! Talk about FAFO!

When challenged Gates cried, apologized and begged forgiveness. Conway fought a duel with Brigadier John Cadwalader, who shot Conway in the mouth. "I have stopped the damned rascal's lying tongue at any rate," he said afterwards. We could use a little Colonial justice today!

3. " the infamous incident where he called "Chinese counterpart on two occasions in the final months of Trump's first term, warning him the U.S. military had no plans to strike China in a bid to avert tensions between nuclear-armed countries."

It was even worse than that. Milley reportedly told the Chinese that he would be the one who determined whether or not nuclear weapons would be deployed...... and said this in a room full of major US Commanders.

THAT is tantamount to assuming overall command of US forces and constitutes a coup. i.e. treason... plain and simple. He may not be chargeable because of the pardon, but he should lose ALL his stars... and in fact, his commission. I don't know if they can take his retirement without a criminal conviction. Officers generally retire at their highest grade achieved. There may not be anything they can do about that. But commissions exist at the pleasure of the President. Trump should be able to revoke it. //

Nine ranks of enlisted soldiers: private (E-1) to sergeant major (E-9) five ranks of Warrant Officer, and nine ranks of officers Second Lieutenant (O-1) to General (O-9). Sometimes there is an extra general rank, but usually only in times of a really big war.

Busting this guy down to private would be fun, but not allowed under what he is being investigated for.

What is also significant about each of the cases listed above is that the convictions in each case were affirmed by the federal Appeals Court — just like Joseph Fischer’s conviction was affirmed — before the convictions were reversed by the Supreme Court, and those reversals were unanimous in almost every case.

This unbroken line of decisions by the Supreme Court should have been warning enough to Biden DOJ prosecutors who decided to charge hundreds of January 6 protesters with a felony using a novel legal theory under a new statute.

Some involved in making that decision may now pay a price for having done with their jobs – and rightly so. //

Yeah, the lawyers probably looked at this case and noticed that they had a pretty good chance of winning until they got to the Supreme Court. And since that Court only takes a tiny percentage of the cases presented to it, they figured they had good odds. If the GOP had nominated someone who wanted to just put the whole J6 affair behind us, it probably would have worked. Plus it usually takes a few years for cases to get there, so they were likely successful in using this statute to force more jail time than most of the defendants would have served without it.

Trump's US Attorney for the District of Columbia quickly responded:

The Court entered an Order dated January 24, 2025 Amending Conditions of Release (ECF 940). The defendants, however, are no longer subject to the terms of supervised release and probation, as the Executive Order "commute(d) the sentences" of these defendants. As the terms of supervised release and probation are included in the "sentences" of the defendants, the Court may not modify the terms of supervised release; the term is no longer active by effect of the Executive Order. See United States v. Haymond, 588 U.S. 634, 648 (2019) (Supreme Court has acknowledged "that an accused's final sentence includes any supervised release sentence he may receive" and therefore "supervised release punishments arise from and are treat[ ed] as part of the penalty for the initial offense") (cleaned up)).

The United States hereby indicates that the Order must be vacated. //

It made clear that the executive branch did not agree with Mehta's interpretation and would not play any role in enforcing it.

This put Mehta in the embarrassing position of standing his ground and being made a laughing stock or backing down and trying to save a little bit of dignity. He chose the latter.

Citing President Trump's executive order Ending The Weaponization Of The Federal Government, Donald Trump's Department of Justice ordered all federal prosecution under the Free Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act be dropped immediately. "[F]uture abortion-related FACE Act prosecutions and civil actions will be permitted only in extraordinary circumstances, or in cases presenting significant aggravating factors, such as death, serious bodily harm, or serious property damage." In addition to invoking a new set of rules, the memo titled "FACE ACT CHARGING POLICY" orders a moratorium on any future FACE Act prosecutions without the permission of the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights.

This is an incredible volte-face by a Justice Department that only a month ago was happily slamming pro-life activists with felony convictions and prison time for minor infractions of the FACE Act. According to reports, the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) has charged approximately 60 individuals with FACE Act violations, a sharp rise compared to fewer than 100 cases in the law's first 26 years. Only five of these prosecutions were directed against pro-abortion terrorists and groups. As the memo states: "This is not the even-handed administration of justice." //

This follows up on President Trump's pardon of 23 pro-life activists Thursday;

President Trump summarily dismissed 17 agency inspectors general Friday night in a move that caught official Washington by surprise.

The inspectors general were dismissed via emails from the White House Presidential Personnel Office, with no notice sent to lawmakers on Capitol Hill, who have pledged bipartisan support for the watchdogs, in advance of the firings, the person said. The emails gave no substantive explanation for the dismissals, with at least one citing “changing priorities” for the move, the person added. //

I'm sure this is heading to court, and it is a good bet that the Supreme Court will eventually decide that Congress can't put that kind of leash on the president's ability to fire a presidential appointee.

This move is curious. If it isn't simply an impulsive act, the Trump White House may be using this court case to audition arguments that can be used on another Congressional "permission" case, like a challenge to the Impoundment Control Act of 1974. //

If IGs "are supposed to root out fraud, waste, abuse, and lawbreaking" they were an abysmal failure during Biden's term. Fraud, waste, abuse, and lawbreaking were rampant and they did nothing of note to stop it.

Senator Elizabeth Warren, Democrat of Massachusetts, said in a statement. “President Trump is dismantling checks on his power and paving the way for widespread corruption.”

IG's need to be their own Department.
An IG can't start a prosecution. They have to go to the DOJ. The DOJ requires the FBI to also investigate.

So no real prosecutions can happen to the DOJ or the FBI.

They need their own prosecutors and able to empanel their own Grand Juries.

The whole idea of an inspector general is constitutionally suspect. Whose job is it to investigate malfeasance by the executive branch? Congress! The reason IG’s have been created is a combination of the failure of Congress and the refusal by executive offices to provide evidence requested, sometimes even subpoenaed, by Congress. And the refusal of the DOJ to enforce Congressional subpoenas, and punish those who disobey them.

We don’t need IG’s, we need Congress to do it’s job and have the power to appoint investigators who have unfettered access to Executive Branch materials, computer systems and documents so that no Administration of either Party can stonewall investigations.

When President Trump made a pledge to pardon January 6 prisoners, with the exception of those convicted of acts of violence, and commute the sentences of that latter category, that seemed like an elegant way to resolve a delicate problem of justice and fairness. //

When the list of those with commuted sentences was released, I did some exploring to see what came up. In cases of multiple charges, I chose the most serious one, of course; YMMV. //

(Amuse yourself with this search tool: Search the Index | Insurrection Index). https://insurrectionindex.org/records/ //

The bottom line is that there are only two men on the list, Dominic Pezzola and Zachary Rehl, who could plausibly be characterized as someone who engaged in anything violent. The real bright line was having an affiliation with Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, or 3-Percenters. Everyone on the list except Pezzola has one of those affiliations and was tried for seditious conspiracy. //

In my view, whatever the process, the correct result was reached. Too much fine-tuning between cases would inevitably result in disparities and hard feelings with Trump's base. The political downside, according to The Daily Beast in an article that repeats the totally debunked claim that a Capitol Police officer died in the demonstration, was marginal. "As far as they’re concerned, the issue was already litigated in November, when voters proved they didn’t actually care enough to abandon Trump over the matter." A further calculation probably was that if no one cared in 2024, they won't care in 2026 or 2028.

The only troubling part of the affair is that, given the high profile of that particular campaign promise, no one ever got around to reviewing the cases and making a pardon list until the week before the inauguration. The other troubling part is that the most unjust sentences, those of the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and 3-Percenters for "seditious conspiracy," were allowed to stand while John Brennan, James Comey, and Adam Schiff are allowed to walk around free. //

In a way, Crooked Joe gave Trump a belated Xmas gift. By pardoning his family 15 minutes before leaving office, he took all the air out of the room in the media hysteria over Trump’s J6 pardons.

Trump had nothing personal to gain by granting his pardons, unlike FJB whose family could be made to talk about the family finances if they didn’t get a blanket pardon.

Trump has long promised to issue mass pardons for convicted J6ers once he was back in office, but as RedState's Bob Hoge reported Sunday, he ran into some interference from fellow Republicans like Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, who argued pardons should not be given to those who attacked law enforcement.

Undaunted by the resistance, Trump plowed ahead with his plan as soon as he set foot back in the Oval Office. Trump was certainly emboldened by the fact that his predecessor, Joe Biden, blew all standards and norms to shreds by pardoning his son, Hunter, and various other family members. Pardon-palooza was on.

Officially, President Trump has commuted the sentences of Proud Boys and Oath Keeper members and issued "a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021" for other defendants. Or, as Trump has called them in the past, J6 "hostages."

Bondi is a terrifying woman if you're a Democrat, and just how scared of her Democrats are more than came through in their questioning of her. They would hardly ever let her speak. When she started giving answers they didn't like, or when she'd checkmate them, they'd either talk over her or immediately move on.

You only do that when you have an unmitigated contempt for the person you're engaging with, and I'm pretty sure that this contempt stems from their fear of Bondi. They are terrified that she will do to them what they did to Trump, to Republicans, and to us.

Their strategy isn't necessarily to stop her confirmation — which is more than likely going to happen — it's to set up narratives that make Bondi seem like she's abusing her position in order to weaponize the justice system against Democrats. Yes, this is exactly what the Democrats did during Biden's administration, but they're still hoping they can sell this narrative in an age where the legacy media has lost a great deal of its power.

If they can get social media clips circulating of them warning Bondi against doing such a thing, and admonishing her for Trump even thinking about doing it, then when a Democrat is inevitably caught up in something they can appear on networks with a "see, I told you she was corrupt" and a "Trump is everything we warned everyone about" for good measure. //

So if they did nothing wrong, then Democrat politicians have nothing to worry about. She will maintain the honor of her position... but if you did break the law, then don't be surprised to have a one on one meeting with justice as arranged by Pam Bondi. //

Patel didn't leave it at that, though. Instead, he used that opportunity as an opening to make news on one of Trump's priorities--making sure those who chose to commit lawfare are held accountable. That, according to Patel, will absolutely include Loren Merchan, the daughter of the New York judge. He said that he, along with partners in Congress, will issue subpoenas for Loren Merchan's company, which made about $15M on the trial. That's the thumbnail, but the entire clip is worth watching, since he gives even more, new details on the plans. //

Woah! The company of the judge's daughter made $15 million on the trial??? And they're trying to hold Trump accountable for fraud?

Talk about glass houses!

I've also read that this payment issue was from 2017, even though he was elected in 2016. Yet, they elevated this misdemeanor to an elections related felony?

You're going down, Judge Merchan.

At the end of each year—only hours before a new year begins—Roberts releases his “Year-End Report on the Federal Judiciary.” Think of it as a written “State of the Judiciary” address. In this latest report, he focused on “four areas of illegitimate activity that … threaten the independence of judges on which the rule of law depends.”

What are those threats? According to Roberts, they’re “(1) violence, (2) intimidation, (3) disinformation, and (4) threats to defy lawfully entered judgments.”

The sad fact is that many of the judges in the January 6 cases were complicit in turning the judicial process into part of the punishment, and they did so not out of a sense of justice but for the plaudits of their peer group and the ruling class in DC. There was literally no reason for any of the January 6 misdemeanor defendants to spend a single minute in jail, and yet they did. These prosecutions had much more in common with the Bloody Assizes and Soviet show trials than American jurisprudence. Their purpose was not to punish the guilty but to make examples of anyone challenging the government to deter others who might have that thought.

There is also a conflict between the "back the blue" impulses of most of MAGA country and some police officials. //

I'd ask Chief Manger what message he thinks it sends to the public when one of his officers was promoted and received federal funds to improve security at his home and cash from a memorial fund after he murdered Ashli Babbitt in cold blood.

If some disciplinary action had been meted out to this cretin and the Capitol Police who brutally beat Roseanne Boyland and the officials who lied about her cause of death (see EXCLUSIVE: Investigative Journalist Lara Logan Uncovers 'The Rest of the Story' on January 6 – RedState), I might care a lot more. If they just stopped lying about police officers being killed and hospitalized on January 6 or claiming that serving that day caused three police officers to commit suicide (why would that be?), I might be more charitable. Until then, I really don't care about the morale of Capitol Hill police. //

Until some adequate explanation is provided on why Capitol Police invited protesters into the Capitol —

• Video: Capitol police open doors for the protestors. They stand aside and invite them
• January 6 Footage reveals Capitol Police acted as tour guides for Jacob Chansley

— and the role of federal agents and "confidential human sources" in escalating the conflict; I really don't care what anyone did that day any more than the FBI and Department of Justice cared about American cities being burned during the mostly peaceful George Floyd memorial rioting and looting season. //

Everyone in jail or prison in connection with January 6 should be immediately released. If Trump wants a carve-out for "violent" actions during the demonstration, that's fine as long as the Department of Justice is not involved in making that determination. Even so, those people who did not kill anyone in cold blood should get the same forbearance as a police officer who did. //

It isn't enough to free those unjustly caught up in a political prosecution that was orders of magnitude greater than any crime committed. The people who set this in motion need to be brought to justice. //

On Jan. 20th 2017 a mass riot occurred in the Washington D.C., which included attempts to storm the White House, violence against the police lots of fires started. Yet, all criminal charges were dropped against the perpetrators of these acts.

On Jan. 6th 2021 a riot broke out at the Capitol building, after police pepper sprayed and fired rubber bullets at demonstrators. Everyone involved in this riot was searched out, rounded up and arrested. All were brought up on charges and were convicted (or plead out) of various crimes. No charges were dropped.

To the new Chief of the Capitol Police, I ask... what is so dissimilar between these two events and the people engaged that there should be unequal treatment? One could easily see where the outcomes for the rioters should be similar. Yet, one group gets a pass and the other group gets the hammer. This screams of violation of the rule of Equal Protection under the Law. //

Look, if Biden can retroactively pardon Hunter for sex trafficking, gun running, prostitution, embezzlement, bribery, corruption, money laundering and the rest of his crimes, I think Trump can pardon J6 trespassers without it being a problem. If Biden can commute the sentences of child rapists and serial killers, Trump can pardon people accused of fake crimes against a process that wasn't actually effected. If Biden can pardon cartel members who plea bargained their violent crimes, Trump can pardon people who've been in jail for four years without access to medical care or lawyers.

Somehow, we're all supposed to be concerned about the mass exodus of "seasoned government lawyers and FBI agents" who engaged in lawfare against President Trump and members of his 2017-2021 team. They could have learned a valuable life lesson by watching the HBO series "The Wire" before engaging in political warfare against the once and future president.

[You come at the king, you best not miss]

The more people who resign, the less drama will take place, and more slots can be filled with people who just want to do their jobs and have no interest in eliminating political figures or engaging in a soft coup against the White House.

American Leftists have lied about President Trump and his supporters for so long that they are utterly bereft. How will they make it through the new year? Will they proceed through the steps of grief and finally accept that they were in error and outside the bounds of rationality or will they get stuck in anger—the second stage of grief?1

For some the stage of bargaining has begun already. They are insisting that we, Trump and the MAGA movement, we who insist on the precepts of the Constitution and rule of law, treat our Leftists better than they ever treated Trump or us.

Remember how they projected their anti-American rage on all conservatives? //

The anti-American Leftists want us to forget about their crimes and misdeeds, such as labeling the events of January 6, 2021, an insurrection, led by President Trump. Odd, isn’t it, that no one has been charged or convicted of insurrection in the Department of Justice’s largest manhunt in history.

Trump, whom the anti-American Left and its media gang continue to label an insurrectionist, was the one who had the National Guard standby to help keep the peace on January 6. But D.C. Mayor Bowser and Capitol Police and then-Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, specifically indicated that they did not want the National Guard at the Capitol or the Mall. Who called for peace? President Trump. Who was more concerned about the optics? The anti-American Leftists, of whom Pelosi is one. //

But for political equilibrium to be restored in America, those who have done wrong, who have violated the law (i.e., the Congressional J6 Committee that suborned perjury, doctored evidence, and suppressed exculpatory evidence), must be held accountable. That is the only way to restore the rule of law.

In order to have freedom, you must have the rule of law. The rule of law prevents bullies from overwhelming the weak. It preserves equal treatment before the law.

And, if the anti-American Left is grieving because of the electoral beating that they took in November, it might be possible that there is some residual desire for justice on the Right.

Accountability might just help the anti-American Left finally come to acceptance, the final stage of grief.
