Delivering a statement via Truth Social returning from the G7 in France. President Trump has suspended the nomination of SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton, cancelling Wednesday afternoon’s SSCI hearing on the nomination.
The late-night timing appears to be due to President Trump focused on the G7 discussions and now turns his focus back to the domestic agenda; DNI, Save America Act and FISA (702) reauthorization.
President Trump outlines in the Truth Social post that FISA (702) renewal must be attached to the Save America Act, and Jay Clayton’s replacement, Jamie McDonald, must be confirmed to replace Clayton in the SDNY prior to the DNI nomination moving forward. This position puts Bill Pulte’s appointment as Acting DNI back into the mix.
VIA TRUTH SOCIAL – “The Republicans agreed with Dumocrats to remove very fair, and talented, William Pulte, from serving as Acting DNI in return for getting FISA approved by the Dumocrats. However, the Republicans moved so fast with the hearings of the Great Jay Clayton, current U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, that Pulte would be gone before the Dumocrats would vote on FISA.
Now, the Dumocrats are saying they will vote against FISA — So, the Republicans wound up having fulfilled their commitment, but Dumocrats broke the Deal.
In addition, the newly nominated U.S. Attorney, Jamie McDonald, must be confirmed and blue slipped. Because of the ridiculous views of Republicans on blue slipping (Dumocrats are often willing to nix it), I may not be able to get the extraordinary Sullivan & Cromwell Partner, Jamie, approved, and I don’t want to take Jay Clayton away from the great job he is doing until Jamie is in place.
Therefore, to add a slight bit of intrigue but, for the Good of the Nation, and the People of our Country, I will not approve FISA without THE SAVE AMERICA ACT going along with it. Not complicated, actually, the Republicans fell into a trap.
Regarding the approval of our Great Patriot, Jay Clayton, we are cancelling the Senate Hearing RE: DNI today, and will not be going forward until Jamie McDonald is approved to be U.S. Attorney. In the meantime, Bill Pulte will remain as the Acting Director of National Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
None of these back-and-forth moves would be necessary if Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune were aligned with the Republican President. Alas, with Thune representing a dysfunctional wing of a Senate UniParty, his priorities are in alignment against the President.
This was where things stood with Thune before the Truth Social post (prompted).
.
In a note of irony, I think we can all thank John Cornyn for this outcome and response by President Trump. John Cornyn told AG nominee Todd Blanche he was withholding support until the DOJ gave him Trump family tax information.
However, John Cornyn was very happy with Jay Clayton and FISA renewal.
So, Trump suspended Jay Clayton and FISA renewal.
That’s my President! Expose them all President Trump! The truth has no agenda. The truth will not stay suppressed. Kill the FISA792 Act which allows spying against Americans. Expose the evildoers in the Uniparty.
GOOD vs. Evil. LIGHT vs. Darkness. TRUTH vs. Lies. LIBERTY vs. Tyranny. GOD vs. Satan. WeKnow!!!
Thune (Uni-party Rat)has the same serpent’s tongue of his predecessor, Tom Daschle (Uni-party Rat).
Does anyone believe that allowing FISA to expire would stop illegal searches and wiretapping?
no
This showdown was inevitable. Thune’s (& RINOs’) arrogant defiance is outrageous despite being expected.
PDJT likely knew this was coming and has a multi-pronged strategy in his pocket
to deal with the Senate corruption.
“We’ll see what happens.”
Brilliant moves, Mr. President. I’m expecting to see more videos of Tom Cotton and Mark Warner having the vapors.
Your next move, Mr. Thune? I think the Uniparty is clearly boxed in.
Senator Thune…..F.A.F.O. !!!!
Even the Senate R leadership had to know the response actions ( suspended nomination ) that Pres. Trump would take. Was it a coordinated action to send the D’s into a further vaporous tizzy? – Loving that thot!
What is wrong with Tom Cotton? Has he gone mad?
He was always Uniparty. A taller version of Judas Pence.
Shady rino. Bought like the rest
Let Pulte run wild and eviscerate the deep state while he can. Less IC is more.
I imagine Boasberg received a call from Thune and Schumer last night saying, “Get ready, warm up, you’re going in relief, kid.”
I would love to see judge jeanie file corruption charges on Boalsberg this week
I truly believe PDJT is now listening and actively reading TCT and our Sundance – should this continue I will be living my best life ever 😉 Go Bill Pulte – clean house!!
Keep watching!
Several times a day Sir, you are on TOP!!
Amen to that.
This particular Sundance post made me smile bigly!
Sundance, I think you would agree the non-pretending name for this bill would be DOMESTIC Intelligence Surveillance Act. Perhaps we stop the pretending in our TCH conversations and perhaps our PDJT can follow suit to help educate our fellow Americans.
This post just made my day!!! Thank you, SD!!!
I hope in my lifetime I have a President like Trump or Reagan and both chambers in control of people ALIGNED with them, just like when democrat presidents have their party control a chamber or 2. I got a solid (at least that’s the plan) 4 two-termers left, maybe 6 to make my prayers come true.
Heck, I’d even take how the R senate speeds through the D president’s nominations as well!!
It’s absolutely ridiculous that there is opposition at the levels the R Senate has given PDJT. It just shows “We the People” are a burden to the elected officials over in the Capital District.
All day, every day, Dear Sundance!
🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁
Just as with Rush Limbaugh and the Ditto Heads, Sundance and the Treepers are “on the cutting edge of societal evolution.”
Thank you Sundance!
😂 Best President of my lifetime!
The UniParty was far too quick on the draw with Clayton’s confirmation for some strange & as yet unknown reason…
Thune, it’s your job to get the votes on the Save Act you lying weasel. Put up or shut up.
Don’t insult weasels!
Perhaps a chess move to draw them into salivating and moving before thinking
It seems in the game of checkers, President Trump just jumped three kings and needs to be crowned.
President Trump’s greatest enemy is not the Dumocrats, but is inside the Republican party.
You are 100% correct.
He knows.
Thune’s eyes dart around way too much to be regarded as authentic. If a street had 4 sides he’d be walking all of them.
John Thune is a traitor, a buffoon, ineffective, and utterly disloyal to the Trump base, also known as American citizens.
🎯
John Thune and the many other Establishment UniParty RINOS are disloyal to American citizens who want America First policies.
Just look at what the Trump administration has found with corruption in our country -SNAP, USAID, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, voting,
Immigration, and much more. Found hundreds of billions of dollars of corruption and corrupt elections.
This is what the ESTABLISHMENT UniParty has brought us over many years. They hide behind, procedures, filibusters, blue slips, backroom deals, no transparency, etc. This is all happening on their watch and they don’t care.
President Trump is uncovering a lot of sleazy traitors in our country governance.
GOPe repubes love falling into demmorhoid traps. seems they enjoy all the abusive fondling they recieve in the trap
They are CUCKOLD POLITICIANS.
Rinos are more than happy to be humiliated .
It seems that they actually get off on it.
The best word I can come up with to describe them is impotent.
I think the dynamic is they like to see the voter base humiliated and angry. The only effectual power they wield is to disappoint the base and they get off on it, because they feel there’s not much we can do about it.
Every morning I wake up expecting another MAGA win. Today it’s Trump’s brilliant strategy against the Uniparty. When the aptly named Save America Act passes, then I know the Uniparty IC/5 eyes blob is finally defeated.
Anyone who does not read these threads regularly is likely left confused and bewildered by DJT strategic moves.
I’m spending the morning on CNN and MS NOW to count how many pearls drop.
I do’t think anyone was really surprised by Thune’s behavior, considering that we all knew he was a McConnell advocate. In watching the video above, I always find it interesting when people like Thune talk but cannot look at the other person (Baier) in the eye when they speak. In any event, I am rather glad that Bill Pulte has been pushed back into this scenario. The amount of hysteria that his nomination caused indicated that it was something favorable to watch.
Thune is a Uniparty worm created under the wing of the Turtle McConnell, he will toe the company line, his duties to our country be damned.
At least with Chuck “U” Schummer, shout out to Rush, you know he’s an anti-American commie pig.
If you want to learn three-dimensional chess, study Trump’s moves.
By the way, Sundance, assuming Republicans keep control of both chambers of Congress, what needs to happen to replace Thune and Johnson with better, MAGA-supporting leaders?
What needs to happen is finding testicular fortitude.
The Republicans seem to fear being in power, making actual decisions and shouldering responsibility and blame if things go wrong. It’s a lot easier to be the minority party.
None have a pair to grab
I would like to see this traitor perp walked and imprisoned. I can dream can’t I???
Good on you, Mr. President.
Time to take it to the RINO establishment. It’s long overdue.
How the jerks can justify NOT passing the Save America Act is beyond me when it’s got 80% approval across political divides.
Someone please remind John Thune that he was a whip for McConnell. He should know how to whip the votes and if he doesn’t, he needs to go.
Imagine how much better the Senate would be with a Speaker that actually got legislation through that reflected the will of the people!
I love the smell of napalm in the morning with my coffee.
America first!
President Trump is being way too polite stating that the GOP fell into a trap. Call it like it is Mr. President!
It’s math. He needs more republicans in the midterms to dodge communist impeachments.
How can get us collectively off of our asses & to the polls in November if he calls republiCONs what they are?
Good move! Now hold the line Mr. President.
Again and again President Trump proves his MAGA credentials. He is all that is between us and the abyss.
God Bless President Trump.
Get Pulte releasing it all as fast as possible. Release the dirt on Thune, Cornyn, Obama, and Hillary first.
This is such beautiful news and hilarious at the same time!
How can we not Love President Trump so much when he does these things; we are so lucky that we have a fighter in our corner.
Reading this post the first thing this morning has me grinning ear to ear! What a way to start the day.
He’s got your back !!!
The middle finger on congress is now in their face
Take them to battle
Let’s open up the vault and make them surrender PJT
4D Chess is the game and President Trump its Grand Master. To Thune and his cadre ” oh what a tangled web we weave when first we seek to deceive”
Why doesn’t VP Vance step in and take control of the Senate and do what Trump wants? This is the biggest elephant in the room
One by one it’s up to PATRIOTIC AMERICANS who are passionate about our AMERICAN heritage and our 250 year legacy to come together in 2026, 2028 AND BEYOND and RID OUR CONGRESS of DEMOCRATS and RINO’s “FOREVER”!!!
Too BIG to RIG, 4EVER!!
Kudos to Bill Pulte as the strong backer of President Trump for knowingly stepping into this lion’s den. A real patriot. I hope his days as Acting DNI are many.
I had a feeling this was going to happen!!
It was getting awfully close but I woke up to validation!!
Way to rock them President Trump!!!
I enjoy watching PDJT47 jousting with congress, but I can’t shake the feeling that FISA 702 is window dressing. I do not believe for one moment that the intelligence community stopped spying on Americans because the “authority” to do so expired.
I’d be surprised to learn that anyone in the intelligence community has actually read and understood the Fourth Amendment. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be spying on us in the first place.
This alleged “mass attack” plat on the UFC event was a false flag, likely instigated by the FBI itself, to force renewal. It’s not like they don’t have plenty of practice.
The fblie didn’t thwart anything.
One participant was turned in to local LE by his mother. It unraveled from there. Question is, who was the “handler” for the leader that wouldn’t actually do anything?
Rug. Pulled. LOVE IT!!
Our Congress and Senate are full of scum bags like Mike Pence…….back stabbing crap weasels..the lot of em……….
Brilliant move by Trump! Now he and Pulte can see who is surveilling US citizens without the cover of 702.
“The Republicans fell in a trap..”
Yep, just like Wiley Coyote and his Acme schemes. “Beep, Beep”
Math? On issues that have overwhelming support of the citizenry, math should not be problem.
It’s only when corruption is added to the equation that politicians will blame math.
My smile is so big this morning, I can hardly drink my morning coffee !!!!!! Thank you, my clued in President Trump!!!!!! 🙂
