Many people were wondering who it was that preempted Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer making the announcement of his stepping down from the court. That answer comes today.
White House Chief of Staff, Ron Klain, was the one who leaked the Breyer retirement, likely in an effort to change the narrative of negative stories that continue to overwhelm the Biden team.
WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden’s chief of staff leaked Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer’s plan to retire to “a limited group” on Wednesday, a top Democrat told reporters.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Richard Durbin told reporters he received a “surprise” call on Wednesday morning from White House chief of staff Ron Klain, who “said that President Biden wanted [Durbin] to know that Stephen Breyer was about to announce his retirement from the court.”
Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, said Klain told him to keep the news a secret and that Breyer planned to make an official announcement on Thursday. (read more)

I guess there is no honor among thieves.
Kinda like Kevin McCarthy talking to the press “this is off the record…”
all “spineless ” mccarthy ever does is to spout off his hot, meaningless air – he is an ineffective blowheart, just like beijing mitch and the rino scum
Or Mark Meadows saying the same to the vulture press outside Walter Reed when POTUS was there.
I always confuse those two guys😂
Liars gonna lie. Cheaters gonna cheat.
No honor among Democrats… and RINOs.
But you repeat yourself,…as the globalist marxist coalition’s efforts continue to fall apart, it is inevitable that they will begin to “eat their young” as the various factions turn on each other, and fight like that 3 rd monkey.
We have alteady seen SOME of that, and we will see a lot more.
The ONLY truly unifying factor, is “Trump”; this is why they keep beating that dead horse so much.
Its not JUST for their dwindling base, TDS is what keeps Pelosi, AOC, McConnell and Liz on on the same page and working together.
Perhaps the sound of gallows trap doors being tested with sandbags, that awakens them from their troubled dreams, has SOME unifying effect,…but as that sound gets louder, and the dreams more troubled, that can have the opposite effect of accellerating the acrimony and finger pointing, as well.
But you repeat yourself!
(just saw Dutchman’s response below – sorry to repeat his response)
The Clinton Administration bombed the Orthodox Christian Serbs our old allies to assist Muslim Al-Cia-Duh linked Kosovo Liberation Army terrorists who also engage in drug & human trafficking and ghastly Organ trafficking where Christian Serbs were held until organs were needed and than they were murdered and diced up to sell their organs. Traitor/felon Hillary Clinton infamously hugged the PM who was involved in this horrific war crimes.
Exposed: Clinton Foundation’s Ties To Suspected Human Organ Trafficker
https://dailycaller.com/2016/10/18/exposed-clinton-foundations-ties-to-suspected-human-organ-trafficker/
The bombing of Kosovo was done by the Clinton Asdministration partly to deflect away from the many crimes being committed by the Clinton Administration & Democrat Campaign Finance Committee involving the largest treason in US history, ChinaGate.
“Thaci and his Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) were first accused of human organ trafficking in 2010 in a report from the Council of Europe.”
“The 27-page report alleged that Thaci ran a “mafia-like” group of Albanian nationals — dubbed the “Drenica group” — who smuggled heroin and human organs in order to help finance the Kosovo Liberation Army’s fight against Yugoslav and Serbian forces in the 1998-99 Kosovo War.”
And the genocide we could have stopped at Podachari (sp). At that time the WH with Billy Jeff there wouldn’t OK our soldiers going in.
Was this going on while Hilary & Chelsea were landing under constant flying bullets & had to flee for cover when they disembarked the plane?
I’m losing track of all the atrocities committed by the Clintons, their Foundation, & their pals like the Podesta Bros., Epstein & his girlfriend, Guptka, etc.
Special place in hell for such people.
Yes, well right now, that special place of Hell is right here on this big old ball of mud. Some of the acts that are being uncovered, that are occurring today, are abominable.
What you mean,…”SOME”?
The list is long, it only gets longer, and the realisation that this crap has been going on for a lot longer than we thought only becomes more obvious.
At a certain point, the words “Crimes against Humanity” seem totally inadequate to the task.
Its like its a damn shame, that as punishment we can only kill them,.. ONCE.
The Ultimate Grifters
Isn’t this OT?
Let’s hope! 😂😬
Hillary has no soul.
If that was the reason it was leaked then it didn’t take long before Biden make headlines by saying a Black woman would fill the spot. Wonder what he will say next? I think he should give his opinion on the truckers.
…a black woman who raped me by the way… I’ll never forget it… it was horrifying. It was at a party and I could hear other people in the main room were cheering and having a great time while I was raped. #metoo “Biden Pick!”
And, even with this move, Mr. Klein failed.
Mr. Klein, you are a failure. So is FJB. Kamala = failure.
Ron, at least you can always count on failing.
.
Humpty Dumpty (Ron Klein) sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall (fail).
All the king’s horses (MSM) and all the king’s men (Bribem administration), couldn’t put Humpty together again . . .
I thought his name was Klain.
.
Hey. I was rhyming . . .
Klain, Klein..just goes to show how much of a failure he is…
Rhymes with Slain.
Ron Klain, a failing failure who fails–that is, a Democrat…
This sort of crud has not surprised me in quite some time.
Always the narrative engineering.
“The show must go on”.
Old Turkish proverb, “If a clown comes into the palace, that doesn’t make him king. That makes the palace a circus.”
Keep it a secret 😉
Imagine if PDJT leaked a story to change the narrative and ditched out on pressers – he’d be impeached by Nancy in less than 2 days.
It so sad that they think news about a liberal judge being replaced by a liberal judge would even matter to anyone while their pocket books are shrinking.
Leftist rubber stamp replaced by leftist rubber stamp.
The black race/vagina requirement is useful only to call 1/2the country racists. It matters not the color or sex organ of the replacement when the replacement is an automaton. A trained monkey, nothing more.
We have he’s and she’s on the SC. If Biden cared to show full diversity it is time to install an it.
Shhhh….. please don’t give them any ideas.
Lia is busy swimming & Caitlin Jenner hasn’t gone to law school yet. Perhaps one of Hunter’s (& dementiaJoe’s) drag queens or Ho’s would do. Then there’s always the VP Ho who has a law degree but doesn’t like briefings by her staff or the pesky Constitution.
Well, I can’t tell if Sonya Sotomayer went to law school so I don’t think that actually matters.
I really don’t know why they bother,…why the circus for ACB confirmation, for instance?
Why not just let her confirmation sail thru, without all the theatrics, she’s a leftist shill, anyway.
And Kavanaugh, as well. All the two-door Ford theatrics, and “we” supported him, for WHAT?
THEY truly live in a World, where reality is irrelevant, the narrative is everything, and they are constantly living in a play they are simultaneously trying to write, direct and star in.
And, they are all mediocre hacks, living in a self reinforcing bubble, convinced of their superiority.
They wanted to fool the Gop base they were getting conservatives by putting up a fight…is my guess
I find it interesting that no one is talking about ACTUAL diversity on the Supreme Court.
Adding another black person to the Court does not add diversity. We already have a black person on the Court. Having 1/9 of the Court represent blacks, who constitute about 1/9 of the Country is about right.
To increase the diversity, we should add an Asian person. Currently, they have a similar population % as blacks have in this Country, but have zero ethnic representation on the SC.
Or add another Hispanic person. Currently, we have only 1 Hispanic SC justice, but the percentage in the USA is far higher than 1/9.
But… adding another black is not supported by the data, in terms of building an SC that is representative of the nation’s population. It’s only a reflection of those who are screaming the loudest and those that are cowering in response.
Seriously, there should be an American Indian on the Supreme Court if we want to be really fair about it all. Right?
Fair is the Left’s most usefully abused fairy tale.
JustMe…..Don’t give them any ideas …..or we will end up with Maisy Hirono (the brain-dead bint with the GIGANTIC sixth-grade brain) from Hawaii as our latest “diversity” hire!
Klain is gonna be the Fall Guy for Brandon’s bad polls
Somehow, I think Moptop head, KIain has enough blackmail material on FJB to keep himself out of jail. In fact, FJB prob. signed Klain’s ”get out of jail free letter” without even knowing it.
Bolsheviks have no honor–it’s all about the power.
Good move, Klain,… from the frying pan right into the fire.
The surprise of your “Surprise” to deflect the WH from constant negative news cycles is now on you,…. since appx 70% of America is now opposed to Brandon choosing a SCOTUS nominee based only on race and gender.
Steady as she goes,… Fool. What’s your next Surprise???
Why not a Hindu, Muslim, Zoroastrian, Eskimo,American Indian, or a Viking? Those groups are not represented (sarcasm)
Snubbing of American Indians, disgraceful!
Colkitto: Because ZLM (Zoroastrian Lives Matter) never caught on. That’s why.
The Zoroastrians were having enough trouble trying to keep some pigment in their ‘race’ due to massive in breeding.
Don’t forget Freedonians and Golgofranchians!
You forgot Asian. Serious. Why have no politicians embraced the massive Asian population in America?
Probably because a good portion of them are planted here and working for the CCP
Careful, this will be the excuse to pack the court;
“we can not possible represent the 70,80,90+ genders, to say nothing of all the different POC variations, so that the makeup of the Court “mirrors” that of the American people, with a mere 9 seats!”
Such are my own thoughts.
“It’s not fair!”
Ugh.
From now on, will Nominees have to submit their Personal Pronouns to the Senate Judiciary Committee??
I am left-handed. Any of those on the Court? If not, I am offended.
Until a SCOTUS Justice is seated who knows the heartbreak and sorrow of the Universal Conspiracy’s cruel imposition of right handed scissors on differently handed grade schoolers this nation will never know fairness.
🤪
Lol, Klain wanted to change the narrative away from the negative, yet less than 25% of voters supports Brandon’s racist SC nomination process. Dems are moving into a civil war amongst themselves. They are unraveling and it is so fun to watch. Bring on the popcorn.
“We get a puppy!”
“We get a cat!”
“We get a Mamie!”
“. . . Are those Space Squirrels available yet?”
Another minimally qualified EEO hire, with a requirement of checking all the communist or gender or personality abnormality boxes, doesn’t calm the waters. It does just the opposite. They are essentially limiting their pool to about 6% of qualified jurists and about 70% of the people polled know that. Attempting to erase the majority demographic in America on every conceivable front is just poking the hornet’s nest once again.
And they wonder why we hate them back…
Here’s diversity for you. The Reynolds School District Board is now all POC. Because students who are POC will learn better from teachers who are POC. So whit students are now being essentially segregates from learning as they purge the teachers who are white form their schools.

They’re out of their minds.
You misspelled DIEversity.

So Klain blabs to Durbin but who blabbed to the media?
Also, the left is just the political action arm of the media. So this is just the media reporting on its’ own internal activities. The whole concept of “leaks” doesn’t apply when it is the left.
If Klain leaked to Durbin, he leaked to the press since I can’t see Klain & Durbin being best buds. It wasn’t just a “heads up” to Durbin & his staff & other key Democrat Senators on the Judiciary Committee. It was to get the media off Brandon’s sinking poll numbers.
Apparently, even selecting a radical to the Supreme Court isn’t enough to get their focus completely off of BiteMe’s ruinous foreign policy & massive inflation.
OTOH, even the media are eating their own because they can’t focus everything on Pres. Trump. Madcow taking a “leave to re-energize” says it all.
Ron Klain is an angry, untrustworthy, far-left, kooll-aid drunk psycho. Always has been. You know he’s lying because his lips are moving.
Perfect Chief Of Staff fo the nutcase administration.
It was my understanding that it was illegal, unconstitutional and racist to employ someone to a government position on the basis of their race or gender.
There should be a Supreme Court case against Biden making such a an appointment.
There is no doubt that he announced prior to choosing that he was going to choose a black female and that the pool from which he is choosing would be all black and all female.
Unless a tranny shows up, mulatto indeed.
I think they are holding out for a trans-speciesist Black lesbian who identifies as a spotted owl….
Whoo would that be?
IDK. They already have a Wise Latina.
Wide Latina.
I’m still waiting for the left to cancel Silence of the Lambs over the portrayal of Buffalo Bob.
Well, you won’t find any male judges filing an EEO lawsuit. They are all in, beta males, beholden to TPTB .
Klain’s sporting a serious comorbidity. Quick! Boost Buffet Boy before he perishes with the rona!
.
Is that him in the recent video from the Golden Corral . . .?
I saw a headline about that! Things are going to get much worse unfortunately……….and it will be Pres. Trump’s fault, the Russians, or racists, Nazis…….
Klain reminds me of the kid in the corner of the schoolyard prodding others to do bad things. A real instigator.
Who the hell cares. This mess can’t go on. Enough is enough. Where am I living??
Any nomination should be resisted fully by Republicans.
Whomever is the nominee will be awful, partisan, more than likely a black supremicist, and lack common sense and basic comprehension.
They will hate Americans and act as such.
Republicans who advance any nominees should be run out on a rail.
There aren’t any Republicans. Just Democrats calling themselves Republican. In fact, there are no Democrats. They are, each and every one of them a member of the Filth Party.
Graham, as Rino head of Judiciary, has already assured everyone that a Biden nominee will NOT be subject to the Kavanaugh treatment, formerly the Bork treatment, formerly the Thomas treatment, oh no!
Any Biden nominee will be treated, by the Rinos, with kid gloves.
And, regarding the black woman from SC, who is on the list, he thinks she is great, and that its great that the nominee has absolutely NOTHING in her resume, to indicate anything other than a hack.
Shes a black sotamayor.
Democrats are perfectly fine with a Svengali running the government.
And, in other news…
Related by how it’s presented.
CNN is now throwing away asides in their reporting about inflation,
insufficient staffing being part of the cause.
And they, (as always) are assisting all things corrupt, Biden, and Democrat.
According to CNN, there’s a break coming over the horizon with staffing issues.
Due to……. immigration.
Wonder if Klain told them how bitchin’ that’ll be?
yeah… their ratings are so low they can’t charge anything for ads. Do you think they could convince My Pillow to advertise with them? 🙂
If they PAID Mike to advertise with them, he would take a pass.
Wonder if anyone is goung to reexamine the cotracts, that have CNN in all the airports?
Just imagine if OAN could get that contract!
Wasnt it also Klain who headed up Obamas Swine Flu response team, which was also a ham-handed unmitigated disaster??
They are desperate to get the spotlight off of the stupid-ass regime and their exponentially accelerating failures. Out of control is what this devil’s den of vipers are, and there is not one competent or levelheaded person to try and turn things around. They can no longer outrun their long litany of lies, deception, childish explanations, and responses to the crisis they have created.
True, but Smirking, Sassy pSaki keeps giving it her best try daily.
Poor liberal Justice Breyer. Like the man of principle he is, he has come out and released a statement condemning the Biden Administration and Media Leaks.
Poor Liberal Chief Justice Breyer had nothing to do with it….Din Do Nuffin.
Judges are honorable.
That’s of course Judge James Boasberg, head of the FISA Court.
That’s the Double-Secret Probation Court that was created by Congress to wiretap, frame and overthrow Donald Trump and the voters who elected him twice.

Yes your honor
And that’s Dizzy Gillespie.
Ron Klain is a Human Boil.
With a boyfriend named Lance.
asked the Swamp…………… are we draining?
A gender confused individual in this rogue regime?! Shocked, I tell you.
“Some people just want to watch the world burn”
And some “just wanna make it colder”
I think it’s worse than all of that.
They made the decision to RETIRE Breyer. I don’t believe he was even planning to retire.
Does anyone here think Scalia wasn’t murdered given the way death was certified [by telephone?!] and the body cremated immediately? It’s more than sketchy and more that suspicious.
The deep state has had control over the courts for a long time to varying degrees. And wouldn’t that serve to answer the question about Roberts? Did he receive a note saying “You’re next!”?
Strong possibility that what you are saying is accurate.
Too many coincidences to dismiss such right off without peering just a bit deeper.
Yep, Klain “leaked” by calling Breyer first to advise him that he (Breyer) is retiring and then called Durbin.
The walls are closing in and they’re are getting desperate to deflect and change the reality of their criminal actions.
Loose lips sink ships………………
None of this is important.
The only thing that counts is that Dear Vegetable has promised to nominate a woman of color thus striking a blow against merit … … I mean ….. against white privilege.
The commie’s insistence on race/vagina as the determinative selector is undeniable proof they believe in racial superiority.
Breyer was probably so entralled to be anointed with *Biden’s dirty face diaper.
To quote Gomer Pyle: “Surprise, surprise, surprise! “
Biden should do the “honorable ” thing and fire his chief of staff and promote a black, female , lgbtqurst, illegal immigrant to be his replacement.
Looks like Klain’s looks reflects what he’s like.
.
Bloated with his own self-importance . . .?
Clown Klain.
Say that ten times fast lol.
Their days are numbered.
Everyday has a number, usually between 1 and 31.
Julian says it’s 1 to 365…
Pure evil. Pure unadulterated evil. No amount of deflecting, leaking, & demonism will ever change who & what this cult is and the suffering & death they cause the innocents. The names & faces change, the evil never does.
Who ratted out Klain and why?
So it was Klain who gave Breyer the bum’s rush.
Fjb and company are grabbing at straws, not the truth, they are in a hole a grave I hope, No one trusts a cheater and that is where they are, They’ll not regain trust with FJB, he said he is the Democrat Party take them down, Joe.
klain is scum!! He has done more damage and generreated more outrught lies while wotking for the clinton, obama and now joebama administrations!! A pen full of pigs in mud are cleaner than this lying scumbag!!
I still say he reminds me of Paul Bearer, the demonic mortician character from World Wrestling entertainment.
I wonder if Breyer found out he was retiring when the announcement was made.
I’m from Illinois. If you want to keep a secret, you don’t tell Dick Durbin. Guy is a total blowhard.
Nothing these calculating Career Criminal Commie Cabal Characters ever do is an honest oopsie. This was planned long ago to be deployed at just the right moment in time (TBD) to deflect the narrative, change the news cycle and totally implemented by the Gutless Traitors of MSEnemedia. They just forgot to inform USSC Justice Breyer. He was as surprised as were We the People, initially. Klien, Klain, Klink will get Jobama Bonus Points, a bag of Unicorn Poop, and a Hot Date Night all alone with Valery Jarret as his reward… Best Of Luck, you Schmuck!
What a pig.
“I have something to tell you but you have to keep it a secret.”
Isn’t that what they all do? Especially the chiefs of staff….the scum of the oval office.
It’s probably one of the requirements for the job.
Klain also fills another requirement. He’s ugly and a fat slob.
I’m frankly surprised they actually waited for Breyer to whisper his intentions before publishing the news.
Normally leaks have a purpose. I see no purpose here at all. This is the work of very small minds.
So Klain thinks Durbin is the biggest blabbermouth in the swamp knowing that Durbin would spill the beans.
Breyer: Ron Klain, please.
Klain: This is Ron Klain.
Breyer: Ron, this is Justice Breyer, I don’t really have an intention to retire. How did this story happen?
Klain: (hangsup)
😆
The entire WH is a plumber’s nightmare.
…because Biden keeps trying to flush his diaper.
They don’t call him Plugs for nothing.
Welll, Klain certainly looks like a Turd.
