Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett said Saturday on Fox & Friends that he believes Attorney General Jeff Sessions will be fired after the midterm elections. His comments come after a court filing uncovered by Judicial Watch revealed that no FISA court hearings were held regarding warrants to spy on former Trump campaign aide Carter Page. Jarrett said Saturday that the Supreme Court should get involved in order to prevent future abuses. He said that a show cause hearing should be held to determine why Justice Department and FBI officials involved shouldn't be held in contempt. The Justice Department released...

Attorney General Jeff Sessions fiercely defended his deputy Rod Rosenstein on Thursday morning after a group of House conservatives introduced an impeachment resolution against him. “My deputy, Rod Rosenstein, is highly capable,” Sessions said at an event in Boston when asked to address the impeachment efforts. “I have the highest confidence in him. You probably know that not only did he go to the Wharton School of Business, but he graduated from Harvard right here in this area.”

Attorney General Jeff Sessions defended his second-in-command Rod Rosenstein on Thursday, after House lawmakers introduced an impeachment resolution against him late Wednesday. “My deputy, Rod Rosenstein, is highly capable. I have the highest confidence in him,” Sessions said during a speech in Boston. A group of Trump-aligned Republicans in the House on Wednesday introduced articles of impeachment to remove him. Rosenstein, who was appointed by Trump, currently oversees special counsel Robert Mueller, who is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible connections to the Trump campaign. “What I would like Congress to do is to focus on some...

Attention to detail brings SIERRA VISTA — The precise attention to detail surrounding the room isn’t by accident when you walk into the Cochise & Western Model Railroad Club. All the track, the buildings, the lights and every other scale model carefully in place are there for a reason. The neighborhoods designed from the 1940s and 50s. The personnel responding to a building on fire. The construction worker welding away. Each layout “tells little stories,” said club member Jason Bease. The club has been going strong in Sierra Vista for more than 30 years, most of which have been in...

In January, 2000, Malaysia’s capital was where key members of Al Qaeda held their “Kuala Lumpur summit” to plan the bombing of the USS Cole that October, as well as the later attacks of 9/11/01. In light of this, and other facts pointing to Kuala Lumpur playing host to a hotbed of Islamic terrorists over the years, the baffling mystery of the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 provokes renewed scrutiny of Kuala Lumpur in fostering international terrorism to date. In this context, Malaysia’s Islamic government and prevailing majority Mohammedan culture comes across as either grossly incompetent, or even somewhat...

The thing about the set of leaked videos from a Romney fundraiser that nobody is talking about is this part: The video was taken at a $50,000 per plate fundraiser in Florida. You may not have noticed, but despite the blur there are a lot of plates in front of a lot of people. This is what people are still not grasping about Romney: He's about to open up the money floodgates in a way that Obama can't match. Romney was wildly successful during the primaries — not as a result of his charm and personality — but because he...

World’s deadliest golf course boasts land mines and man-bear-pigs Along the DMZ, golf is not a sport for the faint of heart. The golf course at Camp Bonifas, just south of the Korean demilitarized zone, boasts just one hole, but what it lacks in quantity it more than makes up for in hazards. Live land mines line the course, and bizarre animals stumble out from the woods. Formerly Camp Kitty Hawk, United Nations Command post Camp Bonifas was renamed in 1986 to honor Captain Arthur G. Bonifas, who had been axe murdered in 1976 during a conflict with North Korea...

Just thought I would post this to give a lift to everyone in this time of liberals, RINOs and elitists running for the Big House. I was 17 when RR gave this speech and I remember it well, but please...When did I step through a time machine? 30 freakin years gone in the blink of an eye.. Anyway, what got me is he could be talking about today. It gave me chills, he literally could give the same speech in 2012 and nobody would know the difference - with the exception of maybe the "inflation" term. "Big government is the...

In a segment shortly after 3 p.m. EDT today looking at how much President Obama has aged in the two years since winning the presidential election, MSNBC's Thomas Roberts and guest Douglas Brinkley concluded that the commander-in-chief needs to take it easy more often.

Johnny Maestro, who started out singing on the New York subways and a few years later recorded one of the great teen love anthems, "Sixteen Candles," died late Wednesday night in Florida after a battle with cancer. He was 70. A distinctive and highly respected vocalist both among his peers and fans of early rock ‘n' roll, Maestro spent his life in the music business, scoring hits as lead singer of the Crests in the 1950s and then the Brooklyn Bridge a decade later. He continued performing live shows with the Brooklyn Bridge until he was diagnosed several months ago...
