UPDATED by Request: /SD
The tip of the Lawfare spear consists of a small group of former DOJ attorneys and Main Justice leftists who helped AG Eric Holder create the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) when it was formed on behalf of President Obama.
Lawfare, writ large, are a tribe of leftists who strategically weaponize the justice systems within the DOJ. They are also the main guides, strategists and legal analysts who previously used Robert Mueller and currently use Jack Smith.
The tribe is led by a trio of fellow travelers: Mary McCord, Norm Eisen and Andrew Weissmann.
If you research the group, you will discover that Mary McCord sits at the center of every attack approach deployed against President Trump {CITATION}. The influence of McCord cannot be overstated, while gender fluid leftists like Eisen, Weissmann (and others), wax philosophically about which statutes can be twisted and interpreted to assist their Lawfare strategy du jour.
Everything we have watched unfold, from using “The Logan Act” against Michael Flynn, to using “Obstruction” against President Trump and the “Insurrection Act” against J-6 targets, comes from this small crew of effeminate leftists.
The similarity of the behavioral proclivities is an outcome of their tribal synchronicity. Much like the McClintock or Wellesley effect, when you isolate Lawfare individuals into a small tribe, their collective behaviors replicate. These travelers were incubated in the DOJ-NSD.
This crew of Brookings funded Lawfare ideologues was also described by Christine Blasey-Ford as her “Beach Friends.”
Since leaving official government positions, the main trio of Lawfare leadership congregate professionally on MSNBC and feed the leftists in media and politics from their primary cable outlet.
I noted, during a recent flight filled with DC bureaucrats and IC officials (United Airlines), how the drones all watched MSNBC on their seat monitors as if it was a religious service that needed to be attended. It really was a sight to see. Every bureaucrat, active or retired, seated with their laptop under the headrest monitor while typing, texting and DM’ing in unison like synchronized swimmers.
That experience was the first time I realized how the term “NPC’s” or non-Player Characters might have originated as a meme, but the label was eerily accurate.
FBI HQ left, Main Justice building right
The alarming aspect to the tribal Lawfare approach, is to realize how this essentially very small group of former DOJ-NSD lawyers commands such an oversized influence on our national politics.
In reality, this crew is likely less than 20 full-time characters with about a half-dozen lawyers used as spokespeople. Essentially, the public voice to keep the hardcore leftists on the optimal message. However, this group also writes the legal strategies for all of the attack approaches used in Atlanta, Georgia (Fani Willis), New York (Alvin Bragg) and DC/FL with Special Counsel Jack Smith.
Within Main Justice, it is Deputy AG Lisa Monaco who takes the Lawfare instructions from the outside group and funnels them back into actionable work within the DOJ (ie to Jack Smith). It’s a similar process as to how the inside and outside group coordinated and used Robert Mueller.
Andrew Weissmann, Mary McCord and Norm Eisen (with occasional guests), can be seen daily watching very closely how their legal briefs, citations and structured legal motions are being used. Yes, it is their written words, their legal briefs, and their filings that are signed by the government officials and submitted into multiple judicial venues.
[NOTE: FOIA or subpoena the Lawfare communication pipeline, and you end up with 15 iPhones that mysteriously and identically have the wrong password entered 10 times, and that deletes all the content – just like the last time someone tried with the Lawfare group around Mueller {citation}.]
♦ Well, that’s who they are…. So, we cannot say we don’t know the exact names of the people at the epicenter of the operation, and you do not need to read the proverbial overuse of the word “they” without knowing exactly who they are.
With the Supreme Court ruling Monday on presidential immunity, the Lawfare group is absolutely apoplectic and fraught with anxiety about it.
Why?
Why this much extreme vitriol?
The answer is very simple. Andrew Weissmann speaks about the reason in this soundbite. Listen at the 01:37 point, when Weissmann says the ruling now puts the President in charge of the DOJ-NSD.
THAT reality is so far beyond alarming that Weissmann has a hard time retaining his composure about it. Remember, this is a small DOJ-NSD group who truly have lived in a Main Justice institutional silo where they were untouchable. WATCH:
What exactly is the background here?
This is where CTH readers are at least a year ahead of where the reality of this story will eventually end up.
Andrew Weissmann is very concerned today because the Supreme Court just put the DOJ-NSD back into a box where they are accountable within the Executive Branch. To the group who use the auspices of “national security” to shield themselves from oversight, putting the President back in charge of the executive branch is profoundly catastrophic.
To give you context, here’s a reminder of consequence from a prior ancillary case involving the Mar-a-Lago documents.
♦ “National Security” as a shield – Remember, Barack Obama and Eric Holder created the DOJ-NSD using the authorities granted to the administrative state by the bureaucracy following 9/11. Specifically, because the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) was created, and within that dynamic the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) was established, DHS would now be the weaponized umbrella organization, and the power granted to the DNI would establish the need for the DOJ-NSD.
In the era shortly after 9/11, the DC national security apparatus was constructed to preserve continuity of government and simultaneously view all Americans as potential threats. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) were created specifically for this purpose.
What Barack Obama and Eric Holder did with that new construct was refine the internal targeting mechanisms, so that only their ideological opposition became the target of the new national security system. This is very important to understand as you dig deeper.
Washington DC created the modern national security apparatus immediately and hurriedly after 9/11/01. DHS came along in 2002, and within the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 the ODNI was formed.
When Barack Obama and Eric Holder arrived a few years later, those newly formed institutions were viewed as opportunities to create a very specific national security apparatus that would focus almost exclusively against their political opposition.
Eric Holder created the DOJ-National Security Division for exactly the purpose of weaponizing the DOJ to target their political opposition. This is what the DOJ-NSD does under the auspices of “National Security.” The FARA violation monitoring is one of the more well-known operations within the DOJ-NSD, and from that construct you find the original justification for the NSA database monitoring.
The surveillance of Americans shifted around the roles and responsibilities within Main Justice after the DOJ-NSD was created. The National Security Division took over Foreign Agent Registration Act monitoring as well as FISA. Both FARA and FISA required some form of downstream surveillance within the authority of the NSD.
The FBI counterintelligence division became the investigative offshoot to assist the NSD, and due to the tightrope of legal compliance issues, lawyers from the NSD were dispatched into the FBI to give legal assistance on the surveillance side. This is how NSD lawyers like Lisa Page, Tashina Guahar and Kevin Clinesmith end up encircling FBI officials like Peter Strzok and Andrew McCabe.
Within this newly created DOJ-NSD, there was no inspector general oversight, so the internal officials were unaccountable, had no reason to worry about anyone looking at them, and they were generally running amok. In 2015 the Office of the DOJ Inspector General requested oversight, and it was Deputy AG Sally Yates who responded with a lengthy 58-page legal explanation saying, essentially, ‘nope – not allowed.’ (PDF HERE) All of the DOJ is subject to oversight, except the NSD.
We discover just how ridiculous and partisan the NSD became through the outcomes of the Hillary Clinton investigation. The Clinton investigation was operated by the FBI and the unaccountable DOJ-NSD.
Yesterday, in a stunning opinion that destabilized the Lawfare ideologues, the Supreme Court affirmed the Unitary Executive principle around the constitution.
The 6-3 opinion held that the President is “a person alone who comprises a branch of government.” This is important to understand. The Executive Branch is the President.
As noted by reader Alex1689: […] Read the SCOTUS opinion, not from a point of view of apprehension about President Trump (he’ll be fine), but from the point of view of what does this allow him to do in his second term, and what straightjackets does it remove that were a threat during his first term?
To start, the court wrote about powers that carry with them core, absolute immunity, the exercise of which cannot come under question in any forum. It specifically identified:
Pardons
Recognition of foreign governments
Removal of executive branch officials.
If it can’t be questioned . . . It also cannot be the grounds for impeachment, can it?
Let’s repeat: If it’s a core power, the exercise of the core power cannot be grounds for impeachment (*except if done in connection with taking a bribe).
In his first term, there was the threat that if President Trump fired . . .
Rosenstein
Barr
Fauci
That he would be prosecuted for obstruction of justice or impeached.
That threat is forever off the table now.
He can fire anyone he likes in the executive branch. The straightjacket is gone.
On that point, further, the majority opinion uses strong language consistent with the Unitary Executive theory of the Constitution. The President is “a person alone who comprises a branch of government.”
While there are areas of shared constitutional responsibility, the core powers of the Executive Branch, including personnel, are the President’s alone.
Boom.
While impeachment is a political process within the Legislative Branch, and the Supreme Court is extremely hesitant to overstep their role therein, the High Court did put this sentiment clearly into the opinion about immunity: …“The President is not above the law. But Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution.”…
Congress may not criminalize the conduct of the President simply for carrying out his core executive branch duties.
Removal of Executive Branch officials is a core duty, an official act, carrying absolute immunity.
That newly affirmed reality is exactly why Andrew Weissmann and the Lawfare crowd are very alarmed.

Oh boy ,they really need to stop trump now !
Man, I’d love to see him wielding a wrecking ball to that crowd , it would be epic !
I knew I liked Alex1689😬
Pray and fast!!!
During these final-chance-to-do-it 125 DAYS
“Pray and fast” while actively using each present helping to re elect President Trump (plus an R House and Senate).
By praying and fasting while DOING, God can work WITH us and THROUGH us just as He worked with and through David to slay Goliah.
Please carpe diem while there are still diems left to carpe.
Avoid regret. Be joy full.
When dealing with these leftist traitors another phrase comes to mind – carpe trachea
Does this mean that Nixon broke no laws at the Watergate? Checking out the opposition is part of being president.
Not hard to figure out Watergate was a CIA OP to get rid of Nixon.
Watergate == CIA/FBI/Media Op aka coup to remove Nixon.
As evidenced by the fact that they removed Agnew well ahead of Nixon.
Well observed, Bob.
Pres. Nixon was one of the best presidents this republic ever produced, and the best sons. His persecution and destruction–through a targeted, well funded, robustly conducted media smear campaign, coupled with Deep State insiders–is one of the sorriest few events of this republic’s history.
His real crime?
Daring to name the Bolsh. Seeing clearly the infiltration of the republic’s power centers by those who have no business being there…but who were invited in by agents of a power at war with the republic.
We are well past the time when RMN’s memory should be resurrected and pressurewashed of the barnacles of lies encrusting it. He courageously stood against what used to be called (and still is in some quarters) “Communism,” but which is in fact an Old World evolutionary/group strategy dating far back in the history of civilization. One where the few herd the many, and there is no principle other than gain and speculation on gain.
Some people call it the Sumerian Swindle: people in hives serving the lugal, kept alive (and drunk) by people in the irrigated dusty desert, growing health-destroying food for the hives, with the priests supplying talking points to justify the system…
…and the worst part of all: the invention of interest-bearing debt as the basis of the economic system…coupled with viewing Nature not as an emanation of the Most High but something to be dominated, subdued, and destroyed…for shekels.
FWIW the word “shekel” comes etymologically from the Sumerian word for “bushel of grain” [SHE-] plus [-KEL], “to be fattened.” They literally turned people into cattle, their fodder into an instrument of control and profit.
This is a group dynamics/operating package, and it has ripened, as “marxism” or “communism” or whatever label, into the horrors we are witnessing. These unelected lugals and high priests noted above by SD cannot begin to imagine there is any other possible system. They infiltrate everything, everywhere, as they have back to Mesopotamia. Their god is the exponential function, and they aim to keep that going upward, with the threat that, if their power is challenged, by (their) god, they’ll make it crash. As Charles Lindbergh said in the 19-teens, “From now on, Depressions and Recessions will be scientifically produced.”
Archangel Michael protect and deliver those who serve and fight for the Logos my ancestors served and fought for, when they Constituted this Republic. There is another Way for humanity…and it’s more like a Garden than a monocrop centrally controlled robotically worked cheap carbohydrate farm or Animal Hell.
@Mrs. Watcher: AMEN!
Nixon may well have been targeted and unjustly undermined by his assistants and the CIA. But let’s have no revisionist history.
Richard Nixon took US Money off the Gold Standard. He instituted wage and price controls, for a time- which is a complete abrogation of freedom. There is no political freedom without economic freedom.
Nixon began the Environmental Protection Agency, whose rulings have done more to destroy capitalism and the middle class in America, than almost any other agency. Manufacturing was, at one, time, the backbone of the middle-class wage earner. Those jobs are almost all gone overseas due to EPA rulings. The Rust Belt and the closed factories and mills on the East Coast are some results of the EPA.
Nixon opened up China to the US, enabling the corporations to rush over there and finance their failing system. If China attacks Taiwan and/or the US, know they could not do it without our help and our money.
Nixon was a Pragmatist in his views and actions, as are most American political and business leaders. Pragmatism says that principles are dogmatic and unworkable. Anyone acting on principles (such as an individual’s right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness and property rights) is a simpleton. Experience is all that matters, and whatever works is what’s good, and no one can predict what will happen, one must “simply try this or that course of action”- experiment! This is a disastrous philosophy and with that philosophy guiding him Nixon delivered one attack on freedom after another.
Kissinger conned Nixon into opening China.
Kissinger created the WEF and installed Klaus Schwab.
WEF is a suicide-pact for the West on behalf of China.
All operations run out of the City of London, wherein all world powers are to be inverted, profit to be purloined, righteousness to be perverted, all civilization exploited, destroyed, and put to the service of self-made-gods that intend to create their utopia here upon our very bones because they haven’t faith enough to believe a Heaven can exist beyond this world.
Perhaps you’ve been listening to Schwab’s Frankenstein, Yuval Harari. Truly a monster of all our nightmares.
The current EPA has gone too far at times .
But to say it’s been a disaster I can’t agree.
I remember what the rivers and streams looked like in the 70’s .
EPA’s job was completed years ago w CAA, CWA, RCRA and FIFRA. Way past time to hand it off to the states.
He did those things in an attempt to appease his political opponents. The DC Establishment had their knives out for him due to his work with the House Committee on Unamerican Activities.
Nixon CREATED the administrative state single-handedly.
He was a prick.
My dear passed grandmother loved Richard Nixon. I remember we watching the hearings when I was in middle school.
They spied on Nixon a decade before.
“The media and political establishment hated Nixon for his lead role in nailing Alger Hiss as a Soviet spy and in blistering its New Deal heroes as witless dupes of Joseph Stalin.”

The funny thing is Woodward and Bernstein actually thought they discovered something and brought Nixon down. Instead they were spoon-fed material from the list of coup plotters above.

My contention all along re: Woodward and Bernstein.
Check out Timothy Charles Holmseth’s website to see what is actually being distiquished by this ruling!
I think you meant “EXTINGUISHED!”
LOL
Hint: A link to said website and a brief synopsis might gain you more than zero upvotes.
It is really nice to see the elite totalitarians squirm. It’s that pesky Constitution again. Their crimes are being exposed, and now they are worrying about retribution. From my point of view: retribution = justice. If you abide by the Constitution, you don’t have to worry about retribution.
In the mind of the Weissmans, Garlands and Eisens the Constitution is only there to protect criminals, illegal immigrants anarchists and themselves!
This is actually the first time I’ve heard Andrew converse. I’m fairly certain I won’t be having him over for pizza and beer.
That’s one evil dude…
He has the voice of a hungry mosquito.
I seriously doubt he or his husband like pizza and beer
Don’t expect anyone calling out the elites as “Supreme Court decision deniers”.
so much for this move by the parasites to protect themselves……………
“April 5, 2024 The Biden administration has finalized a new rule bolstering protections for career federal workers, marking a move to preemptively halt or significantly slow any efforts by former President Donald Trump, should he win in November, to reduce or alter the federal workforce.
The move amounts to a strengthened effort to preempt a president from gutting the federal civil service, a step then-President Trump had begun attempting in his final days in office.
Days before the 2020 election, Trump signed an executive order that provided him and his agency appointees more leeway in the hiring and firing of federal employees deemed disloyal”
https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/04/politics/rule-protecting-federal-workers/index.html
Yet, they can’t stop EXECUTIVE ORDERS!!! 🤔
Yes, sDee! The (Obiden) move amounts to a strengthened effort to preempt a president from gutting the federal civil service, a step then-President Trump had begun attempting in his final days in office.
Well, now it is spelled out that POTUS does have the right to hire and fire federal civil service employees.
Thank you, SCOTUS!
And beginning on Jan 20, 2025, the CABAL cannot try to criminilise PDJT wih “obstruction of justice” nonsense.
So I have a question based on the ruling.
If the President’s (any President) discussions with the various departments under his purview (for example DOJ) are protected under immunity, can the President order the taking out of a rival because that President declares the rival to be a danger to the Nation?
If not, why not?
Point to ponder:
Think of how many times you’ve heard Biden and the democrats call Trump supporters “extremists” and “terrorists”.
Think of how often they have said Trump and his supporters would “destroy democracy”.
You are about to watch Biden and his fellow democrats either act upon their claims using arguments such as you presented……..or not.
They don’t actually believe the “Seal Team Six” argument. They just tried to use it to scare the public and get their way.
Declares it to who? Before or after the fact? What kind of a danger can a citizen (or political candidate) pose that requires immediate deprivation of due process followed by a unilateral execution instead of a grand jury indictment, trial by jury and then sentencing (if appropriate)?
This is why the Wise Dissenter’s SCOTUS opinion is, shall we say, lacking in substance.
Isn’t impeachment the final check on this?
I would imagine the smart people who wrote the constitution knew they couldn’t micromanage every weird situation that might occur in their future.
So tough questions like this are left to the good judgment of the House and Senate, through the mechanism of impeachment. .
This only works if the House and Senate actually have good judgment.
It’s impossible to make a set of rules that always give a correct (or at least adequate) result if the people administering the rules are fools or crooks.
Which they often do NOT demonstrate.
Are you referring to Obama and his drone strikes on American citizens?
Not necessarily. His takedowns/murders victims were not rivals.
Well, they wanted to overthrow the US government that Obama was the head of. And MAGA is called terrorists just like those people were.
I mentioned the same thing upstream before I saw yours. It’s a valid point – I heard no talk of prosecuting Obama for it whereas we have seen many police put on trial for murder (like when Saint Floyd overdosed).
Mark Levin already addressed this question in his X response to Sotomyer’s dissent opinion that this was an UNofficial act and therefore NOT immune.
What makes it unofficial if such President takes the “national threat” position?
Did you read the SCOTUS ruling? Appears not if you are asking this question.
“Declares” won’t win him any support if it flies in the face of what most people can see themselves. Remember, the President is still an elected official who can be impeached for malfeasance, per the Constitution. He’d have to provide real concrete evidence that a rival presented a material danger to the republic. This is what the current DOJ has failed to do – their trumped up charges and manipulation of evidence, of court venues, and of prosecutors and judges has been glaringly obvious. Real crimes don’t need any manipulation to be prosecuted in objective courts.
They did not swear an oath to mmm obey a POTUS. They swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution from ALL enemiees, both foreign and domestic.
Given an UnConstitution order == legally required NOT to OBEY that order.
“just following orders” == a defense.
Remember the Nuremberg Trials, especially what happened to those who tried to use that defense?
better yet, can a president Trump bring in baggies of illegal cocaine in the white house?
Because you know, no one is above the law…sarc/off
I don’t know if this exactly answers your question, but Obama droned 4 US citizens with no due process (one deliberately, and 3 as collateral damage i.e. those three may not have been accidental, but were just close to the primary target).
They took Bob McDonell out of the race… before he even entered! He was greatly favored to run for President but Obama sicced Jack Smith on him and completely destroyed the man.
Biden has been trying to take President Trump out with the incessant lawfare… and declared him to be a threat to the US.
So, in answer to your question – it depends if it is a President with a D or an R. The D can target the R but not the reverse 😉
You mean like Obama ordered the killing of an American citizen overseas without benefit of indictment or a trial. Skip straight to sentence.
The CIA already did this 3 times in the 60’s.
JFK
RFK
MLK
Obama killed a US citizen overseas with a drone (?).
Malcom X ????
Regardless of the SCOTUS recent clarifications on Official Acts, vs Personal Acts.
Lawfare will continue with their mission of, The process IS the Punishment !
These same sycophants will call to impeach the new President Donald Trump at every turn. Citing their Appeal of the SCOTUS’s unjust, biased decisions as basis.
They will then combine the Lawfare subversion’s, with the open kinetic violence, using their recently, re-stocked shelves of illegally imported terrorists. One can clearly see that the current violence of France and their Election mayhem. Is exactly what’s being planned for America during the summer of 2024 and the lead-up to Election Day.
With violence levels directly proportionate, to the degree of MAGA success.
Little Andy of Brooklyn and his pencil necks, have all but run their course now. Their complete disregard for U.S. Code and Statute has been exposed, for all to see. Hence, FWIW ineffective Show Trials (all of which, have now been rendered inert) along with their make believe Felonies, must soon take a back seat to mayhem. As the Orange Man only grows stronger while their marionette, wilts from a thousand cuts.
right but once precedent is set – its a weapon to sledgehammer their heads continously. firings non- stop, and President Trump can just refer to the ruling. This doesnt allow the unibird to feign doubt and resist him.
which all the more makes it more possible they will never let him in.
Yes, this is my fear, my logical guess…desperate times, desperate measures, i.e., the election will be rigged like never before, regardless of how evidentially obvious it will be…as their institutional livelihoods are at stake if Trump gets back in. And I mean Republicans as well as Democrats (Uniparty).
“My FEAR”.
FEAR == a poisonous emotion that,like booze, affects the brains ability to make ” logical” guesses.
Ironically, those affected by toxic emos or booze believe they’re being MORE logical and insightful than usual.
Only experience, usually bitter, convinces wise imbibers to ignore their FEELS and to instead stick to FACTS.
Any booze or toxic emos == logic brain center IMPAIRED and quickly taken off line.
Do you think that the impeachers, congress, has no connection to federal stooges? They will protect their own through the power of impeachment.
President Trump’s hands are still tied, just not as tightly.
“President Trumps hands are still tied.
😂 😂 😂
Source for this guess== an I-Know-Better-Than-Sundanc armchair opiner with a bondage fetish?
Maybe not…
BREAKING🚨Judge Merchan has vacated Donald Trump’s July 11th sentencing date and will delay it until September 18th “if such is still necessary.”
New York case is kaput!
https://x.com/james_jinnette1/status/1808215098797838392
Seems the Judge was dreading the blowback if he tried anything, either harsh or lenient, in the sentencing. Let Weissmann write Bragg’s withdrawal of the charges in light of SCOTUS ruling.
Annnd…you must remember, a large part of lawfare strategy requires bleeding one dry financially through incurred legal expenses ala Mike Flynn. Trump has what they refer to as “f*&^ you” money. He can drag it on just as long as they can.
This guess about how the death cultists will react sounds like exhilarating fun. Hopefully the death cultists ARE suicidally dumb enuf to make this guess come true.
With all due respect, the last thing this country needs is for the levels of violence we’ve already experienced these past 60 years, or so. . .(Riots, Blackouts, Violent protests, etc)
To develop into the current levels of violence, that surround our nation. . .(Caribbean, So America, ME, SW Asia, etc)
Most Americans, most normal people everywhere for that matter, lack the stomach for it. That is what, all, bottom up revolutions rely on, submission through attrition. . .
Let’s pray, it never comes to that. . .but it does appear as that is the only PLAN left. . .
Your 1000% correct kudos to you and others in reporting how the Obama admin weaponized the NSC and used the patriot act to go after its political opponents as part of their evil plan to transform America into a socialist state. All those involved knows once the truth comes out on covering up and deceiving Americans that there gravy train of enriching themselves and others will end.
No. Communist state
If we want to be more precise it’s actually an oligarchic fascist state. Or a multinational corporate controlled fascist state. The politicians in DC have been controlled by their corporate donors who also include the globalist banking cabal. The elites running those entities are currently and for many decades have been dictating policy to our allegedly elected officials.
While some may disagree, IMHO this fascism began when the government surrendered our monetary system over to a private bank called the Federal Reserve in 1913. That placed our national fate in the hands of oligarchs. Elections have been but window dressing for the illusion of democracy.
True, every word.
Exactly right GB Bari!
Socialist sects == iterations of communism and fascism.
I sometimes frame a nation embracing socialism as similar to an individual contracting the HIV virus that,depending on immunity, ultimately becomes a fatal case of AIDs.
It’s afraid:

Read the final 3 sentences.
Nope. Nope. And nope.
There must be accountability and transparency. There must be justice. Especially for the victims of the pandemic, the jabs, Roseanne Boyland, the J6’ers, and ALL of the children, including the Epstein victims.
The most interesting point I’ve heard in the last 24 hours was from Erik Prince, yesterday:
No one at the CIA has any civil service protection. Not even the secretaries.
President Trump can fire the entire agency on day one.
I think he will pull an Elon Musk on Day One (let’s call it Zero Hour) leaving just enough skeleton staff in place for an additional 90 days to 6 months to complete the transfer of functions and then shut it down.
“Not a joke.”
Has been my stand for months. Same with the FBI.
While POTUS Trump could do that, he won’t for a very significant reason. Thst agency has been rogue almost from its inception. They have significant resources out of view or accountability of anyone in government. They have significant weapons of unknown origins or quantities. They have alliances with criminals and terrorists. Think cartels….
Firing the GS and SES employees in that organization would not stop their covert activities in any significant way. Only seizure of all known facilities would begin to curtail their ability to cause havoc and chaos at will.
It would probably require the military to pursue them in selected areas and regions.
Yes, and the military as was, not the military as is.
Go back and look at Executive Orders 13848 and 13818.
Think about the possibility that on the QT, President Trump (as President and then from 2021 forward as C in C) has implemented exactly that program that you describe – for the last six years.
Almost all covert. Not announced. Silent war.
Who ordered and paid for tens of thousands of LIDAR survey flights, not just across the entire US, but also in Australia, Sweden, and the Levant?
What were they looking for?
Why did the CIA/ (as Hamas) find itself having to break into banks to retrieve cash in Gaza?
Who made sure Bukele was able to round up trns of thousands of MS-13 in El Salvador in a matter of days? What kind of abilities and database would you need to do that, with zero casualties? (Tucker didn’t ask for the logistical specifics, did he?)
For that matter, why did the Rothschilds sell their property in Bavaria and auction off their antiques in NY?
#ButNothingsHappening
Interesting Alex. Wasn’t aware those LIDAR surveys were also occurring overseas.
Ok. You think ALL the black ops / false flag ops personnel & groups not formally connected to the psychos at Langley are known and findable?
I submit that the government organization of which we are discussing has been at this for more than 75 years. Avoiding discovery is foundational to their missions.
I’m not going to engage in your Q level hopium here. Enjoy.
Regardless of nonsensical “They’re too powerful to ever lose” defeatism, one can actually relatively easily determine what the “CIA” actually is and what it’s basis was.
To make it simple, it’s the Nazi “Gehlen Organization”, absorbed and enhanced after Operation Paperclip, in it’s current, modern form.
This is not speculation nor some whacky delusion (usually mislabeled “conspiracy theory”, when the delusion is not a delusion) – it’s documented, detailed fact that can still be relatively easily looked up even now, but obviously only if someone even thinks to look.
Please read these reference to understand the reality and come to your own conclusions:
https://franciscogilwhite.substack.com/p/how-many-nazis-were-secretly-recruited
An example of how it works:
https://franciscogilwhite.substack.com/p/us-forced-israel-to-cede-strategic-land-to-iran
i don’t think he will shut down the FBLie and CIA but he will appoint leaders that will clean out the top brass, replace with patriots, change the functions/reorganize with new names and then they will drill down the list of employees who were hired by Obama and Holder and Biden. The new leadership will pull a corporate trend and make everyone apply for their own jobs. With new names for the agencies, job protections may go out the window and after breaking the back of the internal deep state who ever is left will keep their heads down.
If they know they can’t get away with the corruption, they won’t do it. Right now it is approved with winks and nods.
President Trump has to give the DOJ, FBI and CIA a really big enema like firing thousands of people across the board starting at the top…not the bottom!
President Trump already announced the end of the CIA, if you know where to look.
They’re done.
They killed JFK for trying. He was scheduled to start the process the week after he was killed.
Does this nullify the Congressional impeachments orchestrated by Pelosi?
YES.
SCOTUS ruled that the grounds used to Impeach President Trump were NOT crimes ie could NOT be used to Impeach or Remove him.
Impeachment is not a criminal process, it is a political process. My reading of the SCOTUS decision is that the President’s absolute immunity from criminal prosecution does not protect him from impeachment. If the SCOTUS had wanted to so protect the President, I believe they would have said so.
Political process to address High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
The Founders did take the trouble to spell it out.
You evidently have not read contemporary discussion of the matter. Check the then current understanding of what “misdemeanor” meant: bad behavior. The nature of which is up to the beholder, in this case the Congress. The behavior may or may not be in violation of statute.
As they say in Russia – tough shitski. Now let’s see if we can get President Trump back in the Oval where he belongs.
MOTIVATION and WARNING PLEA:
In just 125 more DAYS this last chance “to get President Trump back in the Oval Office where he belongs” will be GONE FOREVER.
Ditto this last chance to Save America and finish President Trumps Project MAGA.
Its now or never. A Time for Choosing. Get off the Screen World sidelines and onto the Real World Battlefields? Be a DOER or remain a viewer until its ok late to be either?
I have always been bothered by Weissman’s enunciation when I listen to him talk. It’s always reminded me of someone, but I’ve never been able to pinpoint who that was….until now. He sounds exactly like Glenn Greenwald…..not in the message, but in the way he physically enunciates his speech.
My sisters call him “prisspot”.
He sounds like a valley girl to me.
Because he’s an effete sodomite “mangina”, or as A. Schwarzenegger would say, “a girly man”.
We still have a long way to November, but I sure hope Trump is AWARE of these people, and is – over and above this – working on a plan to root them out. Still over and above that, I hope there is a plan in place to – in the words of David Plouff – make sure “their kind never rises again.”
“The Executive Branch is the President.”
Many Treepers, including me, have been saying this since we came to this site: it’s sad that SCOTUS has to affirm what is explicit in the Consitution and reaffirmed in the Judiciary Act of 1789. The Judiciary Act of 1789 doesn’t explicitly state the Attorney General’s (DOJ) authority after they were created via authority. However, it established the office of the Attorney General, who serves as the chief law enforcement officer of the federal government.
Funny side:
I used Bing Co-Pilot (search engine on crack if you are detailed in your request) to do some research. I asked where the AG derives its authority according to the Judiciary Act.
It replied that the AG derives its authority from the Consitution. So here was my response and then Bing Pilot’s subsequent reply:
Sent by you:
No, the President derives their authority from the Consitution. The Attorney General is not a position mentioned in the Constitution. The President is the sole Executive, and the President delegates authority to the Attorney General.
Sent by Copilot:
You’re absolutely right, and I appreciate your clarification! The United States Constitution indeed establishes the authority of the President as the head of the executive branch. The position of the Attorney General is not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution. Instead, it is created by statute and delegated authority from the President. Thank you for pointing that out!
Nothing good comes out of using AI – it is always learning. Any half way good search engine could have returned the correct documents to read on the first or second page. Using AI continually refines its ability to deceive.
It’s real-time Wikipedia.
So thankful so many of us have our eyes open and haven’t been deceived yet. AI could give ma an answer totally skewed and I am relatively sure I would know it and probably laugh. But I do know this is not everyone.
All the leftwing loonies love to squawk in regard to Trump: “No one is above the law.” It seems to me that the Supreme Court is saying just that: No one is above the law. Except, the SC is saying that it is the Leftist cabal that is not above the law. In other words, the Maoists are not allowed to ignore the actual law of the Constitution in order to persecute their political opponents.
Apologies if someone else posted this & I didn’t see it. According to the GWP that leftist corrupt NY Judge delayed PDT sentencing until mid September. Sounds like the wheels are falling off all of their lawfare scams
The push to weaponize Government and go after political opponents is one of the first things MARXISTS DO!!! The American people UNWITTINGLY ELECTED THE FIRST MARXIST AS PRESIDENT ON November 4, 2008 and we have paid the price for the past 16 years!!!
16 years and he never left DC
I never did. It was probably stolen too, at least the second one.
I di not vote in one of those elections, to disgusted and the other I wrote in my candidate. I saw through him from the first time I heard him and just like Joebama have never listened to a speech or much of anything they’ve said. No time for them and have to keep my head clear of their bs. A clip hear or there if I feel it necessary.
How do these three get an entire Justice Department — FBI and all — behind them?
“Please allow me to introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
I’ve been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man’s soul and faith
And I was ’round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Stuck around St. Petersburg
When I saw it was a time for a change
Killed the Tsar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank, held a general’s rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank
I watched with glee while your kings and queens
Fought for ten decades for the gods they made
I shouted out, “Who killed the Kennedys?”
When after all, it was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
I’m a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reach Bombay
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer
‘Cause I’m in need of some restraint
So if you meet me, have some courtesy
Have some sympathy and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or I’ll lay your soul to waste
Pleased to meet you, hope you guessed my name
But what’s puzzlin’ you is the nature of my game”
“Sympathy For The Devil”, indeed.
Guys like Weissman and Eisen are so upset because they suffer from imposter syndrome. They want people to think they are the smartest people in the room, but this affirmation of basic constitutional law exposes them as weak lawyers.
Whether ignorance, pretending or hubris led Weissman to think the authority in the executive branch wasn’t the president, he has become a laughingstock who should have disappeared for a few days and not run straight to tv to open his mouth and confirm he is an idiot.
So now their followers have to either keep pretending knowing those who live in the real world are mocking them or accept reality. Regardless, the clout of the lawfare beach buddies has been greatly diminished.
They’re upset, I think, because they’re scared.
They are evil to the core!
I have been positively irate ever since President Trump took office, because these people thought they could hijack the business of the country by hamstringing the President of the United States!
How were they permitted to get away with these crimes for so long? How could CONgress join in instead of holding them to account?
Can you imagine the gall to invent all these ways to derail the business of our great Constitutional Republic? How dangerous are these actions on the world stage?
For once Hellary is absolutely correct: They should all hang for treason!
The highest ranking Republicans in the House and Senate along with his own Cabinet allowed Lawfare to abuse President Trump for four years!
Pride.

Politics no longer looks like two political parties competing. Now it looks like a Dark Triad Personality cult — mostly batshit crazy women, per James Carville — that has gaslighted a zombie army into thinking Republicans are Hitler clones.
On the other side is right-leaning people who recognize this as a mental health crisis and think voting is the solution. (Which might also be crazy.) Biden’s cognitive decline is the final proof. If we were in a “political” mode there would be no question about replacing him. But we are not in any kind of political mode.
We are in a mental health crisis caused by the gaslighting of batshit crazy women and the men who want to please them.

Ive started tuning into Scott Adams again each day.
His persuasion/messaging guidance during this win-it-or-lose-everything PSYWar is invaluable especially when combined with President Trumps even better guidance.
Judge Merchan has delayed Trump’s sentencing in the Manhattan case to September 18, 2024.
Translation: non-American tyrant in a robe knows he’s going to be overturned in the wake of recent developments.
Translation: Can’t somebody help me let go of this pig!
He shouldn’t have chased it till he caught it.

I want you guys to have a look at New Mexico, a textbook example of a state with a devastating combination of urban election rigging and cultivation of minority poverity in rural counties.
Hours of research went into this and I absolutely see New Mexico as a rapidly tightening race that is going to come down to the outcomes in four counties.

Don’t forget. It was Mary McCord’s husband, Sheldon Snook, who leaked the Dobbs decision. He was/is a friend and associate of someone on Chief Roberts’s staff. That’s why investigators “couldn’t find” the leaker.
Marcus Childress (other lawfare guy on with Mitchell and Weissman) bio wouldn’t surprise anyone here.

‘Marcus joined Jenner & Block after serving as investigative counsel to the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6 Attack on the US Capitol, where he conducted more than 60 depositions and interviews of key witnesses. …
…Prior to the January 6 Committee, Marcus served as a special assistant US attorney in the Middle District of Georgia, where he oversaw more than 100 criminal investigations.
Now, Marcus brings the full depth and breadth of his government experience to bear for clients. He skillfully handles sensitive criminal and congressional investigations in a manner that allows clients to advance their business goals and maintain their reputations.
Marcus routinely advises clients on congressional, Department of Justice (DOJ), and sensitive internal investigations, and counsels clients on investigations related to the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act (FCPA), the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), human rights issues, and other white-collar matters. Leading media outlets, including CNN, the BBC, and MSNBC, frequently turn to Marcus for his insight on high-profile government crises.
Marcus serves as a Co-Chair of the firm’s DEI Protection Task Force. In this role, Marcus helps companies and organizations navigate the political and litigation risks….active member of the Leadership Council on Legal Diversity, serving as a City Lead in Washington, DC, and is a member of the DC Bar Association’s DEIA Task Force.’…
Another one of Lucifer’s demons!
Thank you. I wss gonna’ look him up and report here too. This was a BONUS piece of info, one of the redacted attorneys on the unConstitutional UNSelect Committee. bout time some of the names start dropping.
Good to SEE YOU Marcus Childress!

He may have the authority and the power, but don’t forget there need not be a legal reason for impeachment as long as both houses go along with it. If President Trump goes hard on these treasonous bastards they will still kick him out.
Trump’s #1 enemy is a GOP House and GOP Senate.
They would take him out if they get a chance.
Anybody seen Jeff Sessions lately? I wonder what his take is, since he could have shut it down immediately. Put him on your traitor list.
Where,… ahead or behind his replacement AG?
We can flip a coin.
It gets even better, Andrew…
BREAKING🚨Judge Merchan has vacated Donald Trump’s July 11th sentencing date and will delay it until September 18th “if such is still necessary.”
Looks like the New York case is kaput, too! LOL
https://x.com/james_jinnette1/status/1808215098797838392
I hope Andrew, Mary and Norm have SH*T THEIR PANTS! 🤣
They made need to borrow a few boxes of Depends from Biden!
As it relates to DJT and his future presidency, I believe many, including myself, will be disappointed with the lack of accountability. Donald Trump is not a vengeful man. If he sees a more optimal way forward that lets many off the hook, he will choose that path.
If President Trump drops the ball and doesn’t have Ken Paxton as AG prosecute and convict a dozen or more of these Bolshevik lawyers they will go after him again in 2028!
I feel the same. I do think President Trump will see those same people that I think deserve jail time as possible pwns, led on by fear of prosecution. The non compliant, he will make irrelevant, their worst fate in his eyes.
Best to keep the line of thought in that direction for now. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
Can’t say you’re wrong 🤔
These lawfare Deep State operatives need to be put on trial.
Sundance…is not also interesting to note that Weissman is now a member of the NYU faculty?
Kind of like how Stephanopoulos and Psaki are “journalists”…
Andy’s disenfranchisement is congress’ gain. When your list of control agents shrinks, the others become more valuable. Andy does not wake up everyday with the thought”let’s get Trump today”. He does his thing in concert with and at the direction of others.
He’s whining because of his new found irrelevance.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2020/05/27/the-obstruction-of-justice-trap-former-aag-matt-whitaker-confirms-mueller-probe-was-used-as-weapon-to-cover-coup-effort/
FTA “Whitaker describes this as the “obstruction of justice trap.”Essentially, this approach confirms the second-prong purpose of the Mueller investigation itself. First, use the special counsel in 2017, 2018 and into the beginning of 2019, as a shield (hide information); and secondly a weapon (threats) against any entity who would reveal the background intelligence that undercut the Trump-Russia collusion narrative. We know President Trump was threatened by Rod Rosenstein not to declassify any information in September of 2018 or the Mueller investigation would use that act as evidence of obstruction. Whitaker confirms that same approach was applied toward any executive branch officer who would reveal or release information to congress during the tenure of the special counsel; even within the DOJ and including the attorney general. This is how the Mueller probe was weaponized to mislead the American people.”
Bold is mine. So this “obstruction of justice trap” is now dead!!!! Thank you Sundance and Praise the Lord!!! Godspeed President Trump and Sundance!!! Am I right????
Andy is a hissy fit Karen with a big nose, nothing more, nothing less..
”Beach Friends” same as “secret society” from Page-Strzok text messages?
Bring in Ric Grenell on DAY ONE and have him clean out the DOJ just like he cleaned up the US German Embassy. Not only that, have him overseeing the clean out of the FBI via Kash or someone like Kash. DAY FRIGGIN ONE. Put Flynn in at CIA to clean house.
Oh and I forgot, shut down the Ukrainian embassy until further notice (cuts off the money laundering).
I expect Ric to be appointed Sec of State
I came across this today and can’t help but think it was written with these three in mind. https://www.forumsforums.com/threads/bracken-what-i-saw-at-the-coup.74830/
Andrea is very subdued in this clip. Imagine the conversations she is having behind the scenes. She thought that putting out a message of hope was the thing to do. Andy is clinging to and encouraging that hope. As the cases fall inevitably away.
“Nobody puts Baby in the corner!”
-dirty dancing finale
Decide for yourself if CI or Trump is “Baby”
Guantanamo would be their destination if it was up to me.
CTH readers have all they need in this, and other CTH archives if they’ve paid attention, to put together whatever “list” they feel they need. Good cocktail hour fodder, or for whatever.
I am very proud to be an American Patriot. I have never flagged in my confidence that righteous cause would prove out.
having said that…this is war..and it’s only the first few battles…the real big grave ugly comes next…and then the pain.
be prepared
Never be afraid. these scoundrels only assume they have power. that is fleeting. we will transfer it.
God Bless America
Never underestimate the ability of Democrats to come up with a way to twist this to THEIR advantage
Then, have Congress codify it
Always looking for ways to cheat
Now I know who inspired dog faced pony soldier.
It’s good news but I worry what they will do to keep Trump out in light of this decision. Thinking CIA & JFK jr. These people will go all out to stop him as if their lives depend on it, and they still do have the power for now. Praying for President Trump!
Gender fluid effeminate leftists, sharing in the McClintock effect, perfect!!! 😅
Here’s one to add to Alex1689’s list:
He can declassify whatever the hell he wants. No administrative review, no judicial review, no threat of impeachment. I desperately hope first, that DJT will be sworn in next January and, second, that he makes liberal use of his power to declassify. Declassify EVERYTHING!!
Why does Weissman obviously hate America so much?
For the same reason Eisen, Elias, Sussman, Garland, Blinken, Reinhart, and the rest of their cabal. They hate Christianity and see our country as nothing but a $$ bucket to loot, while they destroy the fabric of our nation with vile decadence, debt slavery, never ending wars and shaming
I got nothing against the tribe, generally. But there are some absolutely rotten Jews in politics. Imagine having that kind of IQ and that kind of eduction spent in service to the demonic goals of the progressive left. Such a shame.
They were told endless tales in their formative years of how “People like the Bushes” kept “our people” out of the country clubs, even after we had proven our worth, with our people becoming doctors and lawyers.
Tip O’Neill said “All politics is local” and I’ll say “All politics is personal.”
Obama/Holder are who they are politically because of “childhood wounds” for which they blame the US and white people. (Well, Obama’s hatred of Britain exceeds his disdain for America.)
Start reading the Substack blog Meaning in History by Mark Wauck. Many answers there.
Crimes, blackmail, and off-shore bank accounts.
Firstly, they (Weissman, McCord, Eisen et al) hate themselves. Look at them. They are angry, bitter and unfulfilled. Think Niedermeyer in Animal House.
Why the f*** are we to give a damn about what Weismann, Eisen and the rest of these entitle asshats want? I hope they, along with Sussman, Elias, Rosenstein, Reinhart, Blinken, Garland, Goldman, Raskin, Schumer, are sent to prison making big rocks into little ones. The hubris of these rats is off the charts!
Hi there sonoftrump! Would you happen to have a “Sons of Trump” t shirt? I wore mine last Saturday nite and the response was amazing.
I do not. But I applaud your experience!
