Subject: In-town pool report #4 - Alice Johnson pardon, No Q&A
Pool was escorted at 2:09 into the Oval Office, where POTUS was seated at the resolute desk.

Alice Johnson, recently featured at the Republican convention, was seated nearby. Pastor Robert Jeffries and Jared Kusher we’re standing at the north side of the room.
POTUS began telling Johnson’s story, saying she was serving a life sentence and had done 22 years in jail for something that “a lot of people” don’t go to jail for today.
“We’re giving Alice a full pardon. We are going to do it right now.” - POTUS said.
POTUS said she’s done an “Incredible job” since her release with seeking additional prisoners who could be eligible for release.
POTUS signed the full pardon at 2:12, which he said changed his action from commutation to a full pardon.
Jeffries led the room in prayer.
A cacophony of questions and a mini-standoff as wranglers urged press to leave, but reporters kept asking. Jim Acosta asked questions about March on Washington, police brutality. POTUS said nothing.
Pool escorted out at 2:13.
I just happened to hear that on Newsmax just before I read your post so don’t feel bad.
I guess they got a whole bunch of push back for lightening up.
My point is still valid though - the CA governor & LA mayor are willing to extend the lockdown despite the CDC guidance (at that time). They don't care about science, they only care about their control over the masses.
The Dims are only out for control. They beat you over the head with "trust the science" until the science doesn't fit their narrative. Then they just beat you over the head.

While there are rioters outside the White House, perhaps it is time for anyone attending an event in the White House to be driven to their residence or hotel in a bus or if it’s a small group in a private car. That way those riders won’t have any media showing them bullying.
Now that is how neighbors should react.
Loved it!
Jim Jordan on F&F earlier said he saw what was happening in the streets and got a ride for himself and his wife back to the Capitol with Kevin McCarthy who has a security detail.
He said he didn’t feel safe walking especially with his wife.
I don’t think there was an option to part their cars close to the WH.
That is wonderful!
I am doing the same thing. I am to old to be jumping up to answer the phone when it rings since they are all like you said.
Right Side just started streaming.
Oh, Liz just said no interviews with Trump supporters because of covid. That means two hours of Disme coins and assorted fund-raising. I’ll check back in later.
Statement from Attorney General William P. Barr on the Ninth Circuit’s Stay in the Case Concerning the Federal Courthouse in Portland
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Friday, August 28, 2020
FTA
Attorney General William P. Barr issued the following statement on the Ninth Circuit’s stay in Index Newspapers LLC, et al v. United States Marshals Service, et al:
“Last night, the U.S. Court of Appeals for Ninth Circuit entered an order temporarily blocking an injunction entered by a federal district court in Portland that imposed extensive but vaguely defined constraints on federal law enforcement personnel striving to protect the federal courthouse and surrounding areas in Portland from destruction. In practical effect, the district court’s order prevented the federal government from effectively addressing violent mobs through the general crowd-control measures that are required, and it unacceptably increased the risk of serious injury to federal law enforcement officers. The Ninth Circuit’s decision is an important step that will allow federal officers to continue carrying out their important security responsibilities without being subject to untenable conditions.
As the Department of Justice explained in our briefing, federal officers in Portland – like law enforcement in other parts of the country – have confronted aggressive mob violence. Behind the veil of “protests,” highly organized violent operators have carried out direct attacks on federal personnel and property, particularly the federal courthouse in Portland. Shielded by the crowds, which make it difficult for law enforcement to detect or reach them, violent opportunists in Portland have attacked the courthouse and federal officers with explosives, lasers, projectiles, and other dangerous devices. In some cases, purported “journalists” or “legal observers” have provided cover for the violent offenders; in others, individuals wearing supposed press badges have themselves attacked law enforcement or trespassed on federal property. More than 200 federal officers have been injured in Portland alone.
The Portland city government has the ability to stop this. Instead, the city government has abetted the violence through action and inaction, neutered the ability of the police department to deal with the mobs, impeded the ability of police to coordinate with federal law enforcement, and refused to pursue charges against the rioters. By contrast, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Portland has charged 74 people with federal crimes arising from the Portland riots, including arson, assaulting federal officers, and destruction of federal property. The message should be unmistakable: The First Amendment protects the rights to speak and assemble, but not to attack people or property. The Department of Justice will continue to fully and fairly enforce federal law against these violent rioters.”
VERY IMPORTANT:
This is a documentary by Vets for Child Rescue (you’ve probably heard of veteran Navy SEAL Craig “Sawman” Sawyer) about human trafficking.
It’s very informative and it would be a good thing for everyone to be aware of the information it relays.
Even those of us who have had our hearts wrenched by the diabolical information we’ve already learned will benefit from learning about people who are working together to make a real difference.
There are no extremely disturbing visuals so that anyone can watch, learn, and help to battle this plague.
I’m sharing with everyone I know, especially those who have children and young people to protect.

The Attorney General needs to shut down the individuals and organizations financing these anarchist mobs.
Shut down the money flowing in from Soros, Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA and these mob riots will dry up in a matter of days.
Exactly.
At this point, it is not about COVID.
It is about harvesting DNA samples, under the guise of a pandemic.
There is no need to test someone who has no symptoms.
Democrat governors are all doing this excessive testing.
And with the considerable amount of faulty tests showing “positives”, that becomes the ammunition they need to justify continuing lockdowns,etc.
Through this entire Scam-Demic ordeal the CDC has been like the weather during the change of seasons.
If you don’t like it today just hang around because it will change tomorrow,
