If You Don't Get Why Trump Pled the Fifth, Listen to the Remarks of the NY AG –

 If You Don't Get Why Trump Pled the Fifth, Listen to the Remarks of the NY AG – RedState  "As we reported earlier, President Donald Trump invoked the Fifth Amendment when he was questioned during a deposition in New York on Wednesday in a civil case being pursued by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

“I once asked ‘if you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?’ Now I know the answer to that question,” Trump said in a statement. “When your family, your company, and all the people in your orbit have become targets of an unfounded, politically motivated Witch Hunt supported by lawyers, prosecutors, and the Fake News Media, you have no choice.”

"Folks on the left are already trying to spin that negatively against Trump. Even former prosecutor and lead impeachment counsel Daniel Goldman tweeted something that is just plain wrong. He should be ashamed he tweeted it and is misleading people who may not know better.". . .

"There are reasons we have rights. Lawyers particularly should be respectful of that — not putting down or denigrating the exercise of those rights or acting like taking the Fifth is a sign of guilt. Indeed, given all that has been leveled against Trump from multiple Democratic efforts, it is the intelligent and responsible way to proceed.

"If Goldman and others want to play that game, perhaps they’d like to explain why Hillary Clinton’s IT guy invoked the Fifth 125 times during the email investigation?

"Goldman is now running for Congress so perhaps he’s trying to appeal to the left with his tweet, but he’s just showing he has no principles with it.". . .

Garland; the man Obama chose to be on the Supreme Court

 

Ann Coulter: Merrick Garland Is a Lunatic (townhall.com)   "Let's hope Merrick Garland's search of Mar-a-Lago is based on more evidence than his indictment of the Louisville, Kentucky, police officers involved in the raid on Breonna Taylor's house. 

"That passive construction I just used -- "involved in the raid on," 

"instead of "who raided" -- is not sloppy writing: It's the facts. The officers who actually shot Taylor have not been charged, apparently on the flimsy grounds that they were being shot at when they fired. Instead, our lunatic attorney general has indicted officers who prepared the affidavit used to obtain the warrant to search Taylor's home. In the words of the indictment, the affidavit "contained information that was false, misleading and out-of-date ... and the officers lacked probable cause for the search."

"Further, the indictment also alleges that the officers knew they were providing false information. 

"Breonna Taylor, you will recall, was the moll for drug dealer Jamarcus Glover, one of Louisville's biggest suppliers of cocaine and fentanyl, and therefore by definition a murderer. On March 13, 2020, the police executed simultaneous search warrants on two of his "trap houses" as well as the home of his bagwoman, Breonna. 

"At Taylor's house, police announced themselves and got no response. They announced themselves again; no response. They announced themselves again; no response. Finally, they used a battering ram to enter. Almost immediately, an officer was shot. 

"The man with Taylor, Kenneth Walker, claims he shot at the officers because he thought the guys pounding on the front door and yelling "POLICE!" were home invaders. Skeptics will say that's implausible, but it is now treated as hard fact in such solid, reliable news sources as The New York Times. 

"The officers returned fire and hit Taylor, who had the misfortune to be standing next to her boyfriend as he was shooting at the police. Riots ensued. Taylor's family got $12 million. "Kentucky's criminal prosecution of the one officer charged ended in an acquittal. With last week's suit, the federal government is now bringing its own criminal charges against the police -- in a sane world, this would be double jeopardy -- alleging that the affidavit for a search warrant was based on information that was knowingly "false, misleading and out-of-date." "Specifically, the feds say the following claims were false: 

"1. Glover and Taylor had an "ongoing connection". . .

Washington Post deletes tweet accusing Merrick Garland of 'politicizing DOJ' (nypost.com)

These Are the Republicans Who Voted to Confirm Merrick Garland

 These Are the Republicans Who Voted to Confirm Merrick Garland (townhall.com)  . . .In addition to all the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, Senators Chuck Grassley of Iowa, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, John Cornyn of Texas, and Thom Tillis of North Carolina supported Garland's nomination. 

"Then, on March 10, 2021, when Garland's nomination came before the full Senate for a vote, he was confirmed in a 70-30 vote.

" Again, in addition to every Democrat senator, a number of Republicans voted to make Merrick Garland the Attorney General of the United States. 

"The 20 GOP senators joining Democrats to confirm Garland were: 

"Roy Blunt of Missouri, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Shelley Moore Capitol of West Virginia, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Susan Collins of Maine, John Cornyn of Texas, Joni Ernst of Iowa, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, James Lankford of Oklahoma, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Jerry Moran of Kansas, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Rob Portman of Ohio, Mitt Romney of Utah

"Where are these Republicans now that the FBI has raided Mar-A-Lago on Garland's watch? Seemingly missing in action and conspicuously quiet about the search of Trump's "Southern White House.". . .

Joe Biden's newest climate boondoggle is bad for farmers, bad for the food supply -

Cheryl K. Chumley.- Washington Times

"Joe Biden scored a presidential win when Senate Democrats plus Vice President Kamala Harris voted to advance his climate, tax and health care boondoggle of a bill, with a massive $400 billion or so of the total $740 billion in proposed spending earmarked for carbon emission controls and other pet green projects — a la Campaign Joe’s Build Back Better dreams.

'"But beware the food insecurity that’s coming.

"This bill is bad for energy companies. It’s bad for the economy. It’s bad for law-abiding taxpayers who will now be treated to more, more, more IRS scrutiny, much of it needless and aggressive. It’s bad for Americans who believe in the concept of limited government and who long for the pre-Barack Obama days when health care was more private than publicly run. But it’s equally bad for farmers in America. 

"And when things go south for farmers, that means things go south for America’s food supplies.

"Contained within this bill is $20 billion to encourage — and that’s encourage in air quotes — farmers to adopt climate-friendly agricultural practices that in the end will strip them of their independence or, due to costs of compliance, drum them out of business. . . ."

Donald Trump is spotted arriving at Trump Tower one day after shock FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago - as it emerges agents ransacked ex-president's office for HOURS and even went through Melania's wardrobe". . .

 If FBI goons can crucify a former president, no-one is safe: RICHARD LITTLEJOHN | Daily Mail Online 

  "This is how democracy ends. Or maybe, just maybe, how civil war starts.

"After the surgically-embalmed octogenarian Nancy Pelosi jetted into Taiwan to proclaim America's enduring commitment to freedom, back home FBI goons were staging a politically-motivated, prime-time raid on the home of her sworn enemy Donald Trump.

"As events unfolded on live television, it was like watching one of those old conspiracy-theory movies, starring Robert Redford or Gene Hackman.

"In the latest Hollywood-inspired version, Trump is this year's Enemy of the State.

"The FBI's stormtrooper tactics at Bad Orange Man's gaudy Mar-a-Lago compound in Palm Beach, Florida, could have come straight from the playbook of the Chinese Communist Party.

"Their risible excuse for this outrageous abuse of Trump's privacy and civil rights was a warrant issued by a federal judge in search of classified documents allegedly taken by the former President when he was evicted from the White House, screaming and kicking about a stolen election.". . .  RICHARD-LITTLEJOHN.

 Trump-Backed Candidates Sweep Board Day After FBI Raids Mar-A-Lago (breitbart.com)

AOC's district saw 57% increase in major crimes under tenure

 AOC's district saw 57% increase in major crimes under tenure  (washingtonexaminer.com)   "Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D-NY) district saw a 57% increase in major crime under her tenure, a new study found.

"The district suffered massive increases in what the New York Police Department considers the seven "major" crimes of murder, rape, robbery, felonious assault, burglary, grand larceny, and grand larceny auto, a study by former NYPD inspector Paul Mauro found.
Shootings went up by 47.05%, the study said.

" 'Let’s just say, with those numbers: Were she a precinct commander, she’d better have some answers for the chief of department," Mauro wrote in an opinion piece.

"The former inspector dismissed anticipated criticism that the end of coronavirus lockdowns was the culprit for the increase because crime rates were consistently increasing while the lockdowns were underway. He tied the drastic increase to the $1.5 billion cut in funding for the NYPD in 2020, an effort Ocasio-Cortez spearheaded and lamented wasn't enough.

" 'Defunding police means defunding police. It does not mean budget tricks or funny math," Ocasio-Cortez said in a press release. "If these reports are accurate, then these proposed ‘cuts’ to the NYPD budget are a disingenuous illusion. This is not a victory. The fight to defund policing continues."

The White House Refuses To Speak On About Raid On Trump

 

Marc Elias boasts about the real motive behind the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago raid - American Thinker   "Marc Elias is a very smart man who hooked his wagon to the Hillary Clinton star and has been involved in almost all the attacks against Trump.  His allegiances are clear, and he's incredibly excited about the Justice Department's decision to sic the FBI on Trump, a former and possibly future president.  The main purpose is to keep Trump from being able to run again.  That's it.". . .

The White House Refuses To Speak On About Raid On Trump (thefederalist.com)  Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre continually deflected questions regarding the FBI’s unprecedented raid on former president Donald Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago in Tuesday’s press briefing.

"Jean-Pierre only addressed the events that took place at Trump’s Florida home Monday evening after being questioned whether President Biden or anyone else at the White House was aware of the search warrant or if they were briefed in the aftermath. Jean-Pierre claimed ignorance, saying no one was aware of it.

"She goes on to claim that Biden believes in “the rule of law, in the independence of the Justice Department investigations,” and that those investigations should be “free from political influence.” Such a statement contradicts the Justice Department’s cherry-picking of cases to pursue, such as labeling parents as “domestic terrorists” but not investigating the mounting evidence suggesting the Biden family’s business ties to China.

"Peter Doocy of Fox News noted that Jean-Pierre and the Biden administration, who are usually vocal about their contempt towards the former president, were oddly silent on the events and asked if this means they consider him to be a political threat.

“ 'Ehh, I don’t talk about Trump all the time,” Jean-Pierre said in a snarky response.". . .

Kari Lake: “I suppose this sets a precedent and I wonder if people like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton should be nervous if President Trump ever makes it back into the White House.” 

As you’ve heard, FBI agents raided and occupied President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. Almost instantly, people started questioning the double standard.

@tedcruz2/x Congress must demand answers. 

We need hearings; we need subpoenas.Dems in charge will refuse, but the American people +ve to know why Biden is using the FBI as his political enforcers.

Tin-pot dictators do that, but that’s not how America works.

Biden Admin Calls New Indiana Pro-Life Law A “Devastating Step”….

 

Via Daily Wire:

The White House has spoken out against Indiana’s new bill that limits most abortions as it becomes the first state to pass such restrictions since the Supreme Court’s overturn of Roe v. Wade.

“The Indiana Legislature took a devastating step as a result of the Supreme Court’s extreme decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and eliminate women’s constitutionally-protected right to abortion,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a statement on Saturday.

“And, it’s another radical step by Republican legislators to take away women’s reproductive rights and freedom, and put personal health care decisions in the hands of politicians rather than women and their doctors,” she added.

Trump roots out 'deep state': People 'you would least suspect'

 Washington Examiner  "There is a "deep state" of government bureaucrats who regularly disrupt the commander in chief's plans, former President Donald Trump said in a recent interview.

"In talking with popular conservative commentator Dan Bongino, Trump opened up about how officials within his own administration created roadblocks for his agenda and put blame on recommendations he received from "RINOS," or Republicans in Name Only, a pejorative often used to criticize fellow members of the GOP.

" 'Look, there is a deep state," Trump said. "There is a group of people that are not doing a very good job for the country.". . .

. . ."Trump has all but announced a third run for the White House, and looking ahead, he argued the "most important thing is personnel." Trump stressed he had "great people" in his administration and pinned the "bad ones" on recommendations he got from "RINOS" and other people. The longtime businessman also said "that could be handled," a nod perhaps to his future political ambitions.

"As for dealing with cases of "deep" frustration, Trump described the situation as being akin to "hitting your head against a wall." However, Trump said he had accomplishments that "nobody thought could be done despite this." "
