This sort of “apology” means the Deep State just acknowledged their own existence publicly.
It is very comforting hearing the Deputy Attorney General saying that FROM NOW ON they will enforce the law.
When do they back off persecuting the Bundy’s and their supporters over Bunkerville? There’s a government document until recently withheld by a corrupt Republican federal prosecutor (Steven Myhre) that says the Bundy cattle were no threat to the desert tortoise as the feds alleged.
Myhre claims his corrupt prosecution was all about “law and order” and Jeff Sessions praised this guy for “leadership” in the case.
Talk is cheap
Everyone there responsible for previous malfeasance must be prosecuted for their crimes against the citizens of this country.
> Everyone there responsible for previous malfeasance must be > prosecuted for their crimes against the citizens of this
> country.
Bears repeating.
I’ll be sending this sentiment to my senators and congressman.
Otherwise you're just posturing.
Coming from Rosenweasel it could easily be just talk.
Congress are culpable for transferring their law making powers to the Deep State to avoid responsibility.
Congress are ultimately to blame.
Trust but verify, as Reagan famously said. Sadly their word is not longer enough.
He was talking about decisions by AG Sessions that reverse the Holder/Lynch policies. Here is the full context within the speech he gave in FL:
“Under Attorney General Sessions’s leadership, the executive branch respects the other branches of government and avoids encroaching upon their functions.
For example, General Sessions recently announced that the Department will no longer take actions that “have the effect of adopting new regulatory requirements or amending the law.”
Congress has given executive agencies the ability to issue regulations, or make rules in a certain subject area, but only if agencies do so through a congressionally approved process. Our policy change arose from Associate Attorney General Rachel Brand’s efforts to pursue regulatory reform.
Jesse Panuccio, a Floridian who is here today, has been working closely with General Brand on regulatory reform.
From now on, our Department will not usurp Congress’s job of making the rules. We will stick to enforcing them.
Another example of our commitment not to encroach upon Congress’s role is the termination of third-party settlement practices.
Our Department often negotiates settlements with companies that are accused of wrongdoing. The money should go to victims who were harmed by the wrongful conduct. If any money remains beyond what is needed to reimburse victims, the remainder should go to the American government.
Attorney General Sessions ordered our Department to stop supplanting Congress’s power of the purse by using the threat of prosecution to appropriate money from private defendants and divert it to favored special interest groups. It is Congress’s job to decide how to spend the government’s money.
Those policy changes implement the rule of law. “
The only DOJ arrests so far are of Trump team members, despite obvious law breaking by Obama team members, including Clinton. It even appears that some members of the DOJ itself should be arrested. Until that happens, the DOJ must be assumed to be completely corrupt, no matter what they may or may not “tweet.”
While it is good to acknowledge wrongdoing, people who committed crime against the US Constitution and the American people must at the very least lose their job and the ability to ever work for the government again. Public servants have to be trusted.
That must explain why my mother-in-law does it so much.
Spend sometime and read how Admiral Mike Rogers saved our country from the Deep State Criminals in the Outhouse/DOJ/FBI.
Operation Condor – How NSA Director Mike Rogers Saved The U.S. From a Massive Constitutional Crisis…
Posted on January 5, 2018 by sundance
This outline is the stunning backstory to how the FBI Counterintelligence Division and DOJ National Security Division were weaponized. This outline is the full story of what House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes is currently working to expose. This outline exposes the biggest political scandal in U.S. history. This outline is also the story of how one man’s action likely saved our constitutional republic.
His name is Admiral Mike Rogers.
I’m calling the back-story to the 2016 FISA 702(16)(17) political corruption by the Obama administration “Operation Condor”. Those of you familiar with the film “Three Days of The Condor” will note how the real life storyline almost mirrors the Hollywood film. For the real life version, NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers plays the role of “Condor”.
“SCIF” – a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility. To understand the larger FISA 702(16)(17) issues in 2016 it is important to focus on the word “compartmented”.
Intelligence information is housed by compartments. Each intelligence unit holds intelligence unique to that compartment. The FBI Counter-Intelligence Unit would hold the intelligence information specific to their task or assignment; the DOJ National Security Division would hold their own compartmented intelligence; again, specific to their task and objectives. So too would the DOJ, DoD (Pentagon), State Dept., or CIA.
This compartmented structure is what led to the creation of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, ODNI. The 911 commission recommended the office to serve as a hub able to ensure intelligence sharing; that is – to ensure intelligence was not intentionally withheld from other compartments when needed.
In 2016 the ODNI for President Obama was James Clapper.
It is doubtful the 911 commission ever gave thought to what might happen when intelligence is weaponized as a political tool. The DNI is a political appointment, a cabinet member, of the President. If the executive branch, the President, wanted to weaponize intelligence as a political tool, he/she would have control over such weaponization as an outcome of their political appointees within the: FBI (Comey, McCabe), DOJ (Lynch/Yates), CIA (Brennan), DNI (Clapper), or DoD (Ash Carter), etc.
The civilian (representative) oversight into the compartmented intelligence falls to a very select group known as the Intelligence Gang of Eight.
Four Democrats and Four Republicans (four minority party and four majority party political leaders) for a total of eight. Four from the House and Four from the Senate. –Understand the Gang of Eight Here– The Gang-of-Eight can, if they choose, interact with the intelligence product with the same level of security clearance as the compartment being reviewed.
Only these eight members can interact with the intelligence product in this way. This ensures their ability to conduct oversight.
It is critical to understand the difference between the House Intelligence Committee, the Senate Intelligence Committee and the Gang of Eight. Only two members from the House Intelligence Committee (chair and minority), and two members of the Senate Intelligence Committee (chair and vice-chair) are participants. The other four are Speaker of the House, minority leader of House, Leader of Senate and Minority leader of Senate. The latter four are not part of any other intel committee.
On March 20th 2017 congressional testimony, James Comey was asked why the FBI Director did not inform congressional oversight about the counterintelligence operation that began in July 2016.
FBI Director Comey said he did not tell congressional oversight he was investigating presidential candidate Donald Trump because the Director of Counterintelligence suggested he not do so.
*Very important detail.*
I cannot emphasize this enough. *VERY* important detail. Again, notice how Comey doesn’t use FBI Counterintelligence Director WH “Bill” Priestap’s actual name, but refers to his position and title. Again, watch the first three minutes:
Excerpted for the full and incredible story go to the link below.
I’m not a fan of Rosentstein, but he was pretty damning of actions taken by the Obama DOJ
For Instance, I believe that Rosenstein’s statement below directly references Obama’s DOJ decision to funnel big bank settlement money to liberal groups
“Attorney General Sessions ordered our Department to stop supplanting Congress’s power of the purse by using the threat of prosecution to appropriate money from private defendants and divert it to favored special interest groups. It is Congress’s job to decide how to spend the government’s money.”
That last part was a direct shot at Obama’s DOJ:
“Emails Confirm: Obama DOJ Funneled Big Bank Settlement Money To Liberal Groups”
October 24th, 2017
Because of the steps Sessions has been taking - lots of folks mad at Sessions but he is moving the whole ball into the proper playing field....step by step...
Last night Q posted that the Seventh Floor is no more. Guess this is confirmation.
