Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson threatened US sheriffs today. Johnson told the sheriffs that they will not receive federal grants they are counting on if the Republican Congress does not fund amnesty.
Sheriff Justin Smith from Larimer County Colorado posted this tonight on his Facebook page:
I received a very interesting veiled threat letter from Jeh Johnson, the Secretary of Homeland Security addressed to all police chiefs and sheriffs around the country.
His letter made it clear that if Congress didn’t send President Obama the DHS funding bill that he wanted (rubberstamping the president’s executive amnesty), local and state public safety agencies would not receive federal grants they were counting on because the president would veto the DHS funding bill.
Let me get this straight – the president believes he has the authority to nullify federal laws that don’t serve his personal agenda, but if Congress dares to exercise it’s responsibility of controlling the purse strings, he will willingly hold public safety grants hostage just to get his way?
Mr. President, you don’t have to love the Congress we elected, but you do have to respect their role as established under the Constitution -and Mr. Johnson, please show some integrity and stop with the threats. Sheriffs don’t take kindly to them.
Sure seems like blackmail to me.
GOVT THREATS: Secy Johnson's govt office said if Congress didn’t send President Obama the DHS funding bill that he wanted (rubber-stamping executive amnesty), federal grants allocated to local and state public safety agencies by law would not be delivered – Johnson apparently assumes he and the president have the authority to nullify federal laws that don't serve their personal agenda.
=================================================
ACTION NOW: Sheriff Justin Smith and nationwide L/E, police chiefs and sheriffs due federal grants need to act now:
The Bank Secrecy Act must be mobilized----to follow the paper trail and determine how DHS govt monies changes hands; to determine the scope and dimension of collusion in sub rosa deals (and who might be personally profiting).
<><> L/E needs to examine DHS and its related agencies' bank accounts.
<><> Joint bank accounts might be used to facilitate the transfer funds from one account to another, and/or wire-transferred offshore;
<><> To cover their tracks, DHS insiders might create fake invoices to show that govt money deposited into accounts was being used for legitimate and constitutional purposes.
<><> Financial schemes scheme might be advanced by issuing phony statements of payments from financial sources that actually covered the transfer of funds for insiders' personal use and/or for redistribution schemes.
===============================================
NOTE WELL Under the Bank Secrecy Act, banks are required to establish, implement and maintain programs designed to detect and report suspicious activity indicative of money laundering and other financial crimes. “The Bank Secrecy Act was enacted to protect the public from harm by identifying and detecting money laundering from criminal enterprises, terrorism, tax evasion or other unlawful activities,” Criminal Investigators explained.
=====================================================
DHS's Shady banking transactions could be prosecuted under the (1) Bank Secrecy ACT, (2) RICO, and, (3) the Hobbs Act.
=============================================
<><> L/E should get ahold of DHS (and its agencies): (1) checks, (2) wire transfers, (3) account statements, (4) invoices, (5) bills, (6) delivery tickets, (7) correspondence including snail mail, e-mail, mobile devices, cell phones, (8) contracts, (9) loan agreements, (10) account books, (11) DHS' official govt records.
L/E should also explore (a) monies DHS insiders paid to brokers, sub- brokers, (b) family members, (c) mortgage brokers, (d) financial managers, and, (e) real estate agents, brokers, and developers.
<><> L/E should scrutinize DHS bank accounts for suspicious activites: (A) large deposits, (B) funds transferred from one account into another, (C) frequent requests for withdrawals.
<><> DHS bank records might also show diversions to secret LLC accounts, to money launder and to operate personal ventures;
Tax fraud may also be a factor, facilitated by withdrawals, gift cards purchases, credit card purchases and intra-bank transfers from legal bank accounts into personal accounts, or redistribution schemes.
<><> A huge tipoff is whether bank withdrawals support and luxurious lifestyle including payments for real estate, investment and stock holdings, jewelry, luxury vehicles, resort travel....... and gifts from luxury outlets for wives and mistresses.

Homeland Security seeks $41.2 billion budget for 2016 February 4, 2015 6:30 AM By BioPrepWatch Reports
Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnon announced a $41.2 billion budget request Monday for the 2016 fiscal year.
The budget would improve the unity of effort at the department, Johnson said, focusing on “harmonizing DHS business processes.” Along with the budget, a new Common Appropriations Structure was also submitted to Congress, which would standardize financial planning, programming and budgets for all DH agencies, Johnson said.
There are five areas the department focuses on each year, and the budget is in alignment with those five missions, Johnson said. The first mission is to prevent terrorism and enhance security in the country by implementing security for the land, air and at sea.
The next mission is to secure and manage the country’s borders, and reduce the number of illegal immigrants and amount of contraband getting into the United States. The third mission includes enforcing and administering immigration laws and providing safe and secure detention of illegal immigrants in federal custody if they are a flight risk or a public safety concern.
The fourth mission deals with safeguarding and securing cyberspace, which impacts economic security. The 2016 budget would invest in technology and staff to reduce cybercrime and improve the security of federal network defenses.
The fifth mission, Johnson said, is to strengthen national preparedness and resilience so the country can prepare and respond to any type of disaster. <> Johnson said before Congress approves any funding for the next fiscal year lawmakers should approve funding for the current year.
“The President’s FY 2016 Budget provides the resources necessary for the Department of Homeland Security to further strengthen our efforts to fulfill our wide-ranging missions, while also being agile and vigilant in the face of ever-evolving threats and recent world events,” Johnson said. “But prior to acting on the FY 2016 Budget, I urge Congress to fully fund DHS for the rest of this fiscal year, as the current continuing resolution is disruptive, creates uncertainty, and impedes efficient resource planning and execution.”

Sheriffs should not be taking Federal money or equipment or training or anything Federal.
He should have a turban, not a crown. He is not in the mode of an old European Absolute Ruler but rather that of a Sultan at Topkapi.
Good post. Local sheriffs need to be completey independent and stop depending on federal grants.
I wonder if Obama knows that over 3000 sheriffs just received Sheriff Arpaio’s Sheriff Kit.
Oh, and, please, please, make it only sheriff's departments or other local law enforcement agencies with a single, democratically elected chief law enforcement officer, not all local law-enforcement agencies. (The county where I live is significantly over-policed, in part because the merger of a city police force and county sheriff's department replaced the sheriff with a "law board", which is less responsive to the populace, since its members serve staggered terms and, thus, can't be voted out en masse. I'd love to see our county become ineligible for federal law enforcement grants!)
Great shades of Rick Perry.......of course, since it’s the far Left making threats against the good guys, it’s all OK this time.
You’re exactly right, Sir.
The flies know their lord.
Not to be snippy but you must be blind.
Exactly. The RATS would have fought Romney no matter what he did. To them, politics is religion. The mainstream media would have been all over him for increasing his power over the other two branches of government. And our side would have also been all over Romney. We would be at the White House gates with pitchforks.
“I voted reluctantly for Romney.”
“Did I believe he would be a better President than what we have now? No.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We need have no further debate. I was going to spend time arguing and making a case to show how foolish you are, but I do not need to do that. Your statement stands on its own for all to see.
Hell, sign me up!
I’d be happy to help out our new sheriff if he asked!
I did vote for him, after all.
Unfortunately, the guy violating his Constitutional authority and limitations is the guy who ultimately directs the FBI what to do.
Notice how this entire administration always has that head tilt and smug look on their mugs. Very telling.
Guaranteed he’ll still send the blue counties their grants of money, weapons and armored vehicles to help his army.
