The Public Integrity Section of the Department of Justice may be the most oxymoronically named unit within the federal government.
The Public Integrity Section of the Department of Justice may be the most oxymoronically named unit within the federal government. And a recent change in leadership there spells more unjust political persecution for conservative office-holders, including former representative Steve Stockman, recently released from federal prison (where he contracted COVID) thanks to a commutation of his sentence by President Trump.
The Public Integrity Section (PIS) has been missing in action when it comes to investigations of vote fraud in the presidential election. Its former head resigned in a huff six days after the election, rejecting then-A.G. Barr's authorization for investigating voter fraud:
A Justice Department career official who oversees the DOJ's election crimes unit resigned on Monday night, several hours after Attorney General Bill Barr issued a new Trump-friendly policy authorizing investigations into allegations of mass voter fraud before the election results are certified.
Richard Pilger, the director of the election crimes branch at the department's Public Integrity Section (PIN), sent an email to his colleagues announcing that he was stepping down in response to the new rule.
His replacement was no better.

Everyone wonders how Rome could fall. This is why.
What fid anyone expect for an entity acronymically name “piss dodge”?
PISDOJ
If only they wore blue helmets.
Let’s see what happens...it could be that all of this can be rolled over into Military Tribunals by virtue of rightfully re-categorizing all of this as a national security issue. This would be the only way to flush the involvement of the corrupt DOJ
What the Nazis did to the Jews, Democrats will do to us.
Brutal oppression is coming.
No need to worry. The senate Republicans control the Judiciary Committee.
Jurisdiction: In addition to its critical role in providing oversight of the Department of Justice and the agencies under the Department’s jurisdiction, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Department of Homeland Security, the Judiciary Committee plays an important role in the consideration of nominations and pending legislation.

The name of any government bill or agency always means the exact opposite of what it does.
The headline is practically a duh.
Our government is rotten to the core. As they say, the fish rots from the head.
‘
Hahaha.
They haven’t exactly done oversight of FBi and DoJ.
Coup of a Republican President, no problem.
Sitting on evidence to protect the Biden’s, good to go.
Illegal surveillance of Republicans? Go for it.
‘
Trouble?
Trouble like the growing terror that Germans experienced as their government went full totalitarian?
Trouble like hundreds of millions of humans had as they were mauled and mutilated by the same communism which is rising here?
Trouble just like Deep District, now. Just like...
This is what the swamp is/does, ensures that the deep state version of government survives and maintains the status quo regardless of who wins elections. The combination of carrot (personal enrichment) and stick (investigations, blackmail, etc) has been very effective. Cooperative types come to DC “to serve the public” and become very wealthy and powerful. Others have their lives ruined.
They are good at it and will not reform themselves or give up.

After Nov. 3, the meaning of some words and concepts abruptly changed. Have you noticed how new realities have replaced old ones?
<><> Media cross-examination of the president is now an out-of-date idea. The time for gotcha questions has come and gone. Why ask a president whether he is a traitor or a crook when you can focus on his favorite flavor of milkshake or compliment him on his socks?
The old pre-election truth was that new vaccines take years to develop. The new postelection truth is that it’s no big deal to bring out new vaccines in nine months.
<><> Impeaching a first-term president after his first midterm election — on a strictly partisan vote, for political reasons other than the Constitution’s “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors” — is now a terrible idea.
<><> Worse would be to appoint a special counsel to harass a president on unfounded charges of collusion with China. An even scarier notion would be a conservative dream team of partisan lawyers hounding President Joe Biden — using a 22-month, $40 million blank check.
<><> It would be unprofessional for university psychologists and physicians from a distance to diagnose, in pop fashion, the mental faculties of a President Biden.
Certainly, there would never be talk about Department of Justice officials contemplating wearing a wire as part of an entrapment scheme to remove a President Biden through the 25th Amendment. That would almost constitute a coup attempt.
<><> Almost as bad would be for the holdover FBI director to start “memorializing” his private conversations with Joe Biden on FBI devices. He might then leak such memos to the press — just in case he were to be fired for secretly investigating Biden for “Chinese collusion” and then lying about such a probe.
<><> What happened to the Logan Act? Not long ago it was assumed to be a critically needed guardrail. Wouldn’t it now ensure that presidential transition team members were not calling foreign leaders while Donald Trump is still president? How has it suddenly become a defunct, ossified relic?
<><> Leaking classified material would be about the worst thing government officials could do. Imagine if a Trump holdover, burrowed into the new Biden administration, released a transcript of Biden’s private conversations with the Mexican president or the Australian prime minister.
Such a breach of trust would be almost as bad as a turncoat anti-Biden mole seeking to resist presidential directives. Imagine if this anonymous staffer were given an op-ed in the New York Tines to claim that a cadre of old-time Democrats were shocked by Biden’s cognitive decline and resisting his directives.
<><> Is extending security clearances to former high-level officials turned cable-TV pundits still a bad idea? Who would wish to see, for instance, former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe issuing warnings each night on Fox News? With a wink-and-nod hat tip to his “confidential sources,” Ratcliffe could spin conspiracy theories that Biden is facing bombshell disclosures about his family misadventures with the Chinese.
<><> Is it still important that we keep the tradition of retired high-ranking military officers — all subject to the requirements of the Uniform Code of Military Justice — not disparaging the president? Who would want former Pentagon officials, some of them serving on the boards of military contractors, warning us that Biden should be removed because of cognitive challenges? Certainly, generals and admirals should not compare a President Biden’s policies to those of Mussolini or the Nazis.
Chuck Schumer is the top-dog of the Democrat party, fighting President Trump with every breath in him, aided and abetted by House Speaker Pelosi, but his own corruption goes unnoticed. "Chuck Schumer is King of 'Pay to Play' in the corrupt, rigged system of Washington, D.C. He exploited immigration law for wealthy real estate developers through the EB-5 visa program, which allows investors to pay $500,000 in exchange for a green card, in return for plenty of campaign cash given back to him," New York attorney Wendy Long said. "The whole idea behind the EB-5 visa was to help create jobs in economically disadvantaged areas. But where big bucks are involved, corruption soon follows, and with Chuck Schumer and the EB-5 visa program, you need to follow the money", Long said.
"......the gerrymandered Schumer use of EB-5s, benefits wealthy Manhattan condo projects, many of which 'would be pursued regardless of EB-5......calling into question whether the EB-5 capital is creating any jobs at all.'"
Schumer received $1.09 million in campaign donations since 2011 from real estate interests, and his third top donor source was Fragomen, a law firm that has a prominent EB-5 practice, which donated $82,200 to his campaign committee. Fragomen advertises itself as "support[ing] . . . [the] immigration needs of 'the world's largest companies . . . all over the world'."
Schumer also rakes in campaign dollars from real estate companies such as Related Companies and Silverstein Properties, which also raise EB-5 funds.
This is just proof that the EB-5 system is open to corruption — and Schumer is taking full advantage of it. Now, if this isn't enough, Schumer has also come under fire for two other massive scandals, all of which has been swept under the rug by the mainstream media.
First, as Larry Klayman reports, Schumer helped cause the collapse of IndyMac Bank, which was a primary trigger of the 2008 collapse of the housing market and mortgage industry and resulting economic crisis. Schumer's unnecessarily public letter claiming that IndyMac was insolvent helped spark a panic that created a self-fulfilling prophesy. One day the truth will come out fully and we'll find out what Schumer did to help create the worst economic collapse since President Carter.
Second, Schumer helped spark the infamous inquisition of tea party groups. Schumer's public letter to the IRS urged a redefinition of 501(c)(4) organizations to target conservative public-policy efforts.
The infamous Lois Lerner and others implemented that detailed attack in persecuting tea party and other conservative organizations. We will demand all documents of Schumer's involvement in attacking the First Amendment rights of U.S. citizens.
We will find out how Schumer and Schumer's "associates" and campaign contributors benefited.
A new day has dawned in Washington, D.C., and We the People, must legally take down the evil forces of the left, before they totally destroy the work of our Founding Fathers. It's either them or us; the two of us cannot live side by side, as the likes of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer have ignited a war.
============================================
ANALYSIS Like all modern Liberals, Uncle Chuck is opposed to individual liberty as defined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The only real issue he and his Utopian colleagues have with chattel slavery in America two hundred years ago is that the slaves were privately owned. "Uncle Chuck" is typical of Democrat extremists who are orgasmic over the idea of white slavery to the state. Democrats never pass up on opportunity to tell us why enslavement by the state is for our own protection and our own safety, because life under the anarchy that conservatives want to impose is just too risky and dangerous. We can't have any of that inhumane "on-your-own economics" that conservatives advocate. Thereby proving that you no longer have to be black to be an Uncle Tom (or an Uncle Chuck).
On January 6th, the Congressional proceedings NEED to open with objections from the House and Senate to ANY acceptance of electors from states utilizing the Dominion voting systems. Dominion voting systems are a national security threat to the USA
This forces the debate over their integrity to the floor of the Congress and instantly defines the traitors and the patriots in the room
When he flashes that chicklet grin…..watch out….he’s up to no good.
Nope. The trial venue depends on ones station. Civilians get civilian court even in a time of war and even if they are terrorirists. There is substantial body of case law on this.
The court that is being stripped of power, has to either literally be closed/gone, or agree to being stripped of power. See how that works?
