Trump: Clinesmith Guilty Plea Is ‘Just the

Beginning’ with ‘More to Come’ 3 replies Posted by earlybird — Post Reply President Trump on Friday said that news of former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith’s plea deal with Department of Justice prosecutors was “just the beginning,” signaling that U.S. Attorney John Durham is zeroing in on other targets in his investigation. Clinesmith is expected to plead guilty in connection with his alteration of an exonerating email during the Crossfire Hurricane (CH) investigation, which targeted members of Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, including foreign policy adviser Carter Page.

A Kamala-led Coup Would Succeed

Against Biden 0 replies Posted by earlybird — Post Reply This should never happen to another president again, this hoax,” President Trump repeatedly says, referring to the Russia collusion hoax that very nearly destroyed his presidency. It’s unlikely that there are enough turncoats and Obama holdovers to mount another effort against a reelected President Trump. But how vulnerable would a new President Biden be to such an effort? Kamala Harris, former prosecutor of innocent people with different priorities and allies than Joe Biden, is uniquely positioned to lead a reprise of the same playbook used against President Trump. Only this time, Joe Biden would be far more vulnerable to such an attack.

WATCH: Obama Speechwriter Mocks

Media for Calling Kamala a 'Moderate' 4 replies Posted by earlybird — Post Reply A former Obama speechwriter -- Jon Favreau, who President Obama once called his "mind reader" -- says it's "hilarious" to him that news media now refers to former Vice President Joe Biden's running mate, Sen.

Bernie Sanders (D-VT) even acknowledged her support for the policy in his speech endorsing the Harris-Biden ticket.

Is NO DOJ Policy Preventing Indictments

Prior to an Election 5 replies Posted by earlybird — Post Reply This is one of those subjects where everyone is confident that a policy exists, and they know what the policy is, but no one can formulate in precise terms exactly what the policy says or means. That’s because there is no policy at DOJ which prevents the taking of enforcement action — whether that is an overt investigative step or seeking the return of an indictment – which is linked to the number of days remaining before a scheduled election. None. No policy. Not written down anywhere. (Snip) There is a policy that prohibits the taking of any overt enforcement action for the purpose of affecting
