Acting Attorney General James McHenry has fired more than a dozen career prosecutors from Main Justice citing their work with the Special Counsel Jack Smith targeting of President Trump. This is an exceptionally valuable non-pretending approach toward eliminating the weaponization of the DOJ, the history of the manipulation of the DOJ/FBI serves as the backdrop.
Remember when Robert Mueller spent 2 years investigating the Trump-Russia collusion nonsense, and it was later discovered the investigative team (5o FBI agents) knew in January 2017, the Trump-Russia collusion claim was false. Why did those 50 FBI agents remain employed, when it was clear they knew there was no basis for the accusations? The simple non-pretending questions are always the starkest.
That’s the sentiment behind current Acting AG James McHenry, firing the lawyers who worked with Jack Smith. In addition to the fabrication of a prosecutorial predicate, the deployment of Lawfare is not based on factual law. The prosecutors showed their political bias by willingly engaging in a prosecution they understood was without merit.
(WASHINGTON AP) – […] The abrupt termination targeting career prosecutors who worked on special counsel Jack Smith’s team is the latest sign of upheaval inside the Justice Department and is consistent with the administration’s determination to purge the government of workers it perceives as disloyal to the president.
Monday’s norm-shattering move, which follows the reassignment of multiple senior career officials across divisions, was made even though rank-and-file prosecutors by tradition remain with the department across presidential administrations and are not punished by virtue of their involvement in sensitive investigations. The firings are effective immediately.
“Today, Acting Attorney General James McHenry terminated the employment of a number of DOJ officials who played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump,” said a statement from a Justice Department official. “In light of their actions, the Acting Attorney General does not trust these officials to assist in faithfully implementing the President’s agenda. This action is consistent with the mission of ending the weaponization of government.” (read more)
This is great.
When does Lisa Monaco get her walking papers? She is right at the heart of all the lawfare…
And Mary McCord.
While we re at it…Rubio should fire Samantha Power and her color revolution cohorts imnediately.
USAID got riffed today too, so that means SP
Bear in mind, the moneys Congress appropriates have to be spent for that purpose. There are, obviously, ways around this.
Hear! Hear!
At Bondi’s hearing, McCord said she (McCord) was “career” instead of “political” — signalling her intent to slither back into a crack until the moon is again full, if you’ll pardon the mixed metaphor. Keep that harridan on the radar no matter what.
How can they sleep when their brooms are burning?
Bubble bubble toil and trouble career my rear!
The husband and husband team of Marty McCord and Samuel Power have NO business being anywhere near PDJT’s Washington. They should hold NO positions whatsoever within the federal gubmint.
FERS is not a bad deal for those who hang on for 30 or so years.
McCord is currently ensconsed at her alma mater, Georgetown Law, as a visiting professor. She is also the executive director of (get this) the school’s Institute For Constitutional Advocacy And Protection.
Mary McCord
50 FBI agents next?
Only 50??? How about 5,000 as a lesson they learned the hard way!
The FBI is a special case. None of them should remain employed. The history of this 3-letter mafia agency is so run through with fraud and criminality that ANYONE who works there is tainted by corruption. There are no “lunch pail guys.” The “ham’n’eggers” are just people who knowing drew a paycheck from a rotten master and didn’t have the courage to quit.
The Bureau should go. Entirely.
Bill Clinton fired every District Atty when he came into office without any legal issues.
I also take note of the Effective Actions in both of the Trump Admins of the Acting Atty Gen of the DoJ.
If the Equal Rule of Law is not re-established….
I heard through the grapevine that Bill Clinton rehired them
soon after, after making them sign a new contract/agreement.
Be good to see what really happened back then, and why?
Weren’t DAs, as those are elected locally. Fired federal attorneys.
Every president chooses his own US Attorneys. Typically, they resign with the outgoing president on inauguration day. Sometimes, they refuse and are fired. It isn’t unusual for some to be re-hired by the new president, especially if the new administration is of the same party.
Or if their State’s US Senators have pending “deal” with the new Prez.
Obama did it also. You just didn’t hear about it.
So did Reagan.
“But historical data compiled by the Senate show the same pattern going back to former President Ronald Reagan. Reagan replaced 89 of the 93 U.S. attorneys in his first two years in office, starting in 1981. Clinton also had 89 new U.S. attorneys in his first two years, while President Bush had 88 new U.S. attorneys in his first two years in office.”
“U.S. attorneys serve at the pleasure of the president, and when a new administration comes in, everybody knows you will have a new U.S. attorney.””

Obama also fired the Inspectors General and nobody questioned it.
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/498492-mcenany-no-one-seemed-to-care-when-obama-fired-inspectors-general/
US Attorneys.
But the problem is that the pool of willing Leftist attorneys is deep and wide for DemoCraps but extremely thin and shallow for Conservative MAGA Republicans. For the past 50 years, University Law schools have bred pro-commie lawyers by default. Finding a few hundred real Constitutionally conservative lawyers is a significant challenge anymore.
yes, and when GWB did the same the press set their hair on fire.
“Monday’s norm-shattering move,” — Just because it’s not “normal” doesn’t mean it’s wrong, i.e. if Congress created a budget that got passed is would be “norm-shattering” even though it’s literally one of the enumerated duties of Congress found in the Constitution.
Obviously it should be norm eisen-shattering
🤣
They’re not “disloyal to Trump”, they’re disloyal to the Constitution!
100% exactly correct.
If they were any good as lawyers they would have known that!! i.e. good riddens to bad rubbish!
This does make me angry.
No matter how one feels about politics, the notion that PDJT and his wife would stand by as enthralled observers to the claimed calumnies is so far beyond the pale that one is embarrassed for those who fabricated that event or believed it.
Pure, naked, cut-throat, immoral politics.
The string-pullers need to be dealt with harshly.
QUOI?
AI, I am guessing? From the unusually complex sentence structure, and the fact that real people who know how to use big words like that also know how to make the sentence make sense.
I’m so glad the two of you picked up on that. About a quarter way through I was thinking, what the heck is wrong with this guy.
Did someone ask Kamala to post?
Word Saladworks.
Waiting for Matthew Colangelo to get his walking papers.
Technically, he’s employed by Bragg’s office, having left the DOJ. My guess is there are plenty of leftist law firms eagerly waiting for him to join their law practice to go after Trump.
If he worked with DA Bragg to violate Trump’s Civil Rights, Ole DOJ ringer, Matt is still subject to Fed prosecution. Tick, Tock., ringer.
Norm shattering. Give me a break. The Jack Smith lawfare was norm shattering – nothing like that for election interference has ever happened before. They should all be gone at minimum. Open malicious prosecution investigations and some will start to talk.
Norm is just fine
So is Cliff. The Post Office wasn’t impacted.
set the political bias factor aside. (bear with me…I hope to make a point).
a lawyer, particularly a prosecutors has a legal (let me repeat this again so there is clarity)…A LEGAL DUTY to obey the rules established by both rules and regulations..He is not simply bound by this law, but violating it makes him/her a criminal.
from the DOJ website:
https://www.justice.gov/archives/jm/criminal-resource-manual-910-knowingly-and-willfully
CRM 500-999
910. Knowingly and Willfully
The prohibition of 18 U.S.C. § 1001 requires that the false statement, concealment or cover up be “knowingly and willfully” done, which means that “The statement must have been made with an intent to deceive, a design to induce belief in the falsity or to mislead, but § 1001 does not require an intent to defraud — that is, the intent to deprive someone of something by means of deceit.” United States v. Lichenstein, 610 F.2d 1272, 1276-77 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 447 U.S. 907 (1980). The government may prove that a false statement was made “knowingly and willfully” by offering evidence that defendants acted deliberately and with knowledge that the representation was false. See United States v. Hopkins, 916 F.2d 207, 214 (5th Cir. 1990). The jury may conclude from a plan of elaborate lies and half-truths that defendants deliberately conveyed information they knew to be false to the government. Id. at 214-15.
As used in the statute, the term “knowingly” requires only that the defendant acted with knowledge of the falsity. See United States v. Lange, 528 F.2d 1280, 1287-89 (5th Cir. 1976). As in other situations, to commit an act “knowingly” is to do so with knowledge or awareness of the facts or situation, and not because of mistake, accident or some other innocent reason. See Fifth Circuit Pattern Jury Instructions, § 1.35 (1990). Knowledge of the criminal statute governing the conduct is not required.
The false statement need not be made with an intent to defraud if there is an intent to mislead or to induce belief in its falsity. Reckless disregard of whether a statement is true, or a conscious effort to avoid learning the truth, can be construed as acting “knowingly.” United States v. Evans, 559 F.2d 244, 246 (5th Cir. 1977), cert. denied, 434 U.S. 1015 (1978).
the political bias is simply an aggravating factor that should be introduced when these Corruptors are investigated, when a grand jury determines there is reasonable cause to indict, and then the real prosecutors who obey the law and provide evidence of this crime can enter into the record THE RECEIPTS PROVING they not only had knowledge that the accusations where false but were complicit in advancing and enlarging them…
it’s a serious crime with a prosecutor enters evidence into a court before a judge WHO KNOWS the evidence is not simply false, but knowingly false.
we can use the political bias as simply an aggravating factor.
but clearly, these corruptors need to face charges and be sent to prison…this is not small crime.
there is also a reason to consider a Rico case…two or more people who “collude” (are we starting to warm up to this word in the proper context? I do)….and whom commit crimes.
these are criminals. firing them is step one. step two is to gather the evidence, form a grand jury and get a Senate confirmed USA Attorney selected by the AG who will try them all separately, and then later together in a Rico case. In addition, while “we wait”, I would like to see some of the good guys at DOJ and FBI (I know…but there are some new people now and some old people who now have the opportunity to do something right in their lives and make right those wrongs)…Go to a court and get a warrant to see all of their financial records. We need to see who paid these people. They did not do this for free. I am certain of this. 100 percent certain. you see, Corruptors have no morals, no principles. their compass follows money north…always
This isn’t the end of this story….not even close. stay tuned.
God Bless America
Thank you Sir. Always appreciate your truthful and legal insight into the Biden/Merrick law fare perversion of our beautiful Constitution. Indeed, God bless America. And I would add curse those who would subvert its righteous beauty.
Regitiger,
Boy I sure pray you are correct in your analysis.
Especially, after the immunity ruling by SCOTUS, one would think the better course might be not the refiling of an indictment, but Smith, Bratt, and crew went barreling forward. The attorneys who continued on ought to have their actions reviewed with a referral for prosecution in the cross hairs.
Political prosecution by either side based on novel law school theory where liberty is at stake should be strongly disfavored.
Right now the Injustice Dept has lost its credibility, what with calling protestors walking through a federal building after invitation by police insurectionists, not to mention the Trump federal prosecutions.
Investigate, and refer.
There’s a reason they were called “insurrectionists”, and a reason that particular word
was used over and over and over.
It allows the bad guys to subvert rule of law, speedy trials, and other pesky things that
the constitution covers. The use of “insurrection” hijacks all the political prisoners constitutional
rights.
Its way past time that little fact was thrown out. Over and over, and over, and over.
Is there a way to make these prosecutors and all those who gave the approval to go forward with these cases PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE to reimburse President Trump for his legal expenses. We need to get in the pockets of those squandering our money. I would love to read “Mr. Xxxxxx from FEMA who signed the illegal purchase order for 5 million dollars worth of tents for illegal aliens has been ordered to reimburse FEMA for the full amount plus the legal cost to get restitution, Mr. Yyyyyyyy who directed Mr. Xxxxxxxx to sign the order is ordered to pay the difference.. There must be an audit trail for all the illegally squandered money. Somebody signed paperwork to spend it.
the short answer is maybe.
it really depends.
we can find some of the answers in the same way we infer the ruling of SCOTUS about “official” versus” “non-official”.
but clearly the answers to this question are complicated, given we really do not know all of the evidence to make the claim one way or the other. All we see are the results of the corruption…but we do not know just exactly if this was official in nature, or just a small group of rogue agents who decided to take crack for breakfast for at least 4 years. *yes, I am implying there was drugs in involved…and probably hookers…and some child porn…it’s common with Corruptors…they have no limit to how low they stoop..to “them”….everything is a problem that is to be solved by excess. sinful reprobates is the correct term.
Regardless, we will find out just exactly how rabid these people are…and how they “managed” to do all this damage in the agency called “the department of justice”
I think this is what they call the mic drop. I’ll pick it up again soon. I’m not done. I’ve got mile to go. willingly…with a completely different breath of fresh air. I can breathe and move now..
and THAT should resonate with THE PEOPLE.
BE UNAFRAID. God Instructs this. We no longer have even the object of fear. We are lording over it. figuratively, politically, SPIRITUALLY..and yes, legally.
God Bless America
God Bless America
What about the judges that enabled and continued the lawfare? How are they held accountable?
The Supreme Court has an agency that can apply proper actions if they decide to do it…..Congress can Impeach. There may be more.
House of Reps can abolish their court then they have no job.
With the federal government prosecuting and causing jail time for people who post memes on the internet under the guise of knowingly trying to get people to vote on the wrong day – am thinking of the Ricky Vaughn meme-maker, did this set a precedent so any online statement, comment, whether originating or in reply to another poster’s comment, by a federal employee, such as someone in the DOJ – did this set a legal precedent so that any comment made by such a federal employee, even in jest, could be now interpreted as knowingly and willfully deceptive? And if so, does this apply if said federal employee did the same while on a television news show interview?
If so, our nation and its beloved freedom of speech is in bigger trouble than imagined; then again, all those lawfare lawyers, the Eisens, the Comey’s, etc., etc. could be in a heap of trouble, right?
Mixed bag to navigate given the pros and cons of bringing the lawfare players to justice.
regular fact patterns can be used to serve as additional weight of the evidence wrt public comments…news shows..
it ties into the “official” versus non-official aspect….some of these people went on news shows…precisely because they are credible sources…in a legal sense, this means, at least to me, the things they say are not non-official….it’s the entire reason why they are invited..because they are officials….the news shows were not putting on with family members of some clerk in the mail room. I think this can be shown to the grand jury yes, as a pattern of facts that what they were doing is using their official capacity to push a known false set of allegations…not just within the department, but also merchandising it in the public domain, using the media as means.
this can illustrate the Rico/conspiracy aspect…and yes it just might also determine if there is grounds for a personal liability as well. one crime to violate the law in your official capacity…and another to do so with non official personal vendetta calculation. (I am of course spit balling…a prosecutor might not want to hang these people on two different legal angles…but I am sure that they can be combined to show a jury and prove the violations were not only a breach of the criminal code, but that they choose to personally engage with the media to perform the wrap up smear.). that aside, even if the prosecutor chooses not charge them with additional crimes as individuals for the media smear aspect…I can certainly see that President Trump and others have standing to sue the living shit out of them in civil claims….slander….one way or another, whether fired, imprisoned, or penniless, there is going to be a day of justice for these people…a very LOOONG day
That is what I am working toward. We simply cannot allow these Corruptors to ride free. they have done so much damage…and not just to the President…but again..the very thing that justice is expected to protect, they took a big shit on it….and likely did so for a financial reward. justice for these people must happen because there is every expectation this will continue to be common and regular unless we make examples out of these reprobates….the whole world is watching…is the US a nation of laws, or not. What we do with these people answers that question…And I cannot simply sit still and hope someone else is going to do the work.
doing the right thing is so important. we cannot allow time to be the protection these scoundrels can dodge behind.
we have most of the receipts anyway…
I am certain I am not the only person who is working toward these goals. I am also certain these animals will find some other ways to rape the law ….that must end…examples must be made..
God Bless America
Dang, good job again!
Good job.
Hope these ass clowns have learned a lesson: if you come for the King then you better not miss.
Right along with FAFO
You’d think so StE, but my bet is no, and they will double-down.
I don’t think they will learn a lesson until they face charges of prosecutorial misconduct and then some.
They thought they had him in Butler, PA. Thank the Lord President Trump was protected by God.

My Bad !
You cheat. You fail.
The winning keeps on coming!!
We haven’t won anything yet. When the conspirators begin rotting in a rat-infested jail then you can start celebrating. And, if that doesn’t happen they will just be emboldened further.
That would only make us as despicable as they are. We need to act by what we know is the legal, constitutional way.
Huh? I had no idea a country club prison is the legal constitutional and legal place to go? Sure.
Again, elections have consequences. The Dems thought they would never lose.
Saw a clip, where a lib talking head was appalled that President Trump is cleaning house, and replacing deep state operatives with people loyal to the President. These are career DOJ officials, non-political, she said. They don’t serve the President, they serve THE PEOPLE.
She seemed a little dim. How, exactly, do these “non-political career DOJ” bureaucrats “serve the people?” Do they have some metaphysical connection to the national zeitgeist? Do they go into a trance and channel “the will of the people?”
Or, do they serve THE PEOPLE by obedience to the elected president chosen by THE PEOPLE to do their will?
Amazing how that works.
USA prosecutors do not serve the president NOR THE PEOPLE.
they serve THE LAW as reasonable men and women.
this is what we all need to constantly remind ourselves and to be mindful.
the humor: to indict a ham sandwich illustrates the outrageous condition of the DOJ and FBI. if it doesn’t stick, they put glue on it and nail it to the wall. this isn’t serving the law…this is serving self interest and I am absolutely convinced money exchanges happened to make that happen.
no right minded criminal would take this risk if there wasn’t some kind of hard cold cash involved…I do believe some faction of these Corruptors were influenced by idealogue, hate, and even party politics and staying inside the colored lines of cultural institutional silos….but the real players…the people who mobilized and put these lessor embeciles on the witch hunt and war path are simple mercenaries..they traded their authorities for money. I am convinced of it.
the only way to find out is to start investigating, gathering all the receipts, grand jury empaneled, and then go to a judge and get a warrant for financial records. this can be done. will it be done? that remains to be seen.
it’s important to right this wrong. very important…not simply to arrive a justice, but truth….and to exact a specific legal type of punishment that some might refer to as vengeance.
I am cool with that. it fits the size of these crimes
These corruptors must be made to live miserable lives….the damage they have done isn’t simply to a President..but they have intentionally abused the most sacred authorities bestowed to them. instead, they cheated, lied, and created a nationwide influence peddling operating to defraud not one election, BUT THREE!
there has to be a price for that kind of corruption…and if it takes me my entire life, I will never be satisfied until they all pay this price…all of them.
3900

them

Who are the people, this news is a few days old and those names haven’t trickled out yet. I’m sure Lisa Monaco is already sucking firehoses for her next trick
The minions at MSNBC were talking over a muted Karoline leavitt’s opening statement this morning about how horribly unconstitutional this was. Priorities, and all that.
Why hasn’t he fired Every US Attorney?? Clinton did it. Obama did it. He can’t leave them in office. If it takes a long time to replace them so be it.
He has.
These corrupt lawyers, traitors, need to pay for their crimes. Starting with jackass smith. Jail Time for Jack.
Boom!
This is just the beginning.
And watch for waves of resignations, too. There are more bad actors in there who won’t want to wait to be fired.
“…how are vacancies to be obtained? those by death are few. by resignation none.” Thomas Jefferson, 1801.
Bad actors won’t resign. They will be fired so they can file lawsuits.
You don’t have to stop your career advancement, but you will not advance at the DOJ, at the expense of taxpayers.
Hit the Road you bunch of criminals. You might wanna get a lawyer, because I have a feeling you will need one.
you statements should have been the P.S. to the letter about the offer.
This is great, but it must be followed by prosecutions of their treason and sedition.
That sounds great, and we’d all love to see that.
What we wouldn’t like to see is one acquital after another, due to these trials taking place in the heart of the swamp.
Thinking about this, I wonder if we couldn’t get an official Senate Intelligence Committee to declare each and every one of them as having acted unethically, deceitfully, and in a manner intended to obstruct the two most recent elections (well okay, they did it in 2016 too) by issuing stories which THEY KNEW TO BE FALSE.
Further, in said Declarations, each and every one of these individuals should be barred from ever again being employed by either the United States Government or any third party which contracts with the federal government, preventing the revolving door employment which so hugely benefitted Comey, Mueller, Barr, etc.
Of course they should all lose their licenses to practice law – but they won’t, not in that jurisdiction.
This is the best I can come up with.
“showed their political bias by willingly engaging in a prosecution they understood was without merit.”
Charge them all with prosecutorial misconduct.
Well done.
My first thought is that I knew about this story a long, long, time ago. Over 12 hours at the last.
@Sundance, this is old news! Try to keep up!
🤣🤣🤣👍🍻
Go MAGA! Go America! God bless President Trump (and choke all the partisan leftists Federal judges on their dinners).
FAFO on steroids.💪🏻
My face is tired from smiling.
They were disloyal to the Constitution and the American Bar Association is a branch of the London Bar. Yes, they were involved in Lawfare, so either way – out the door.
Fantastic!!!
I can’t believe all the GREAT MAGA news!!!!
Thank you, God.
This is definitely Divine Providence working through human agency to destroy the evil in our government and society.
FA; FO
At least it’s a decent start.
If the FAFO expression on President Trump’s face for his official White House portrait didn’t cue us that this POTUS means business, then the equally stern, no-nonsense official portrait of Melania should leave no doubt!
If there is such a thing as cold sweat, there are hundreds, maybe thousands of officials at DOJ, FBI and CIA who should join Matthew Graves in sweating blood popsicles!
Hmmm, is keel hauling still a legal punishment?
Which heads are on pikes?
I’m glad this is being done before Bondi is confirmed. It gives her a less cluttered deck to start with. She can then pursue whatever investigations need to happen to ensure the DOJ is not politicized again. The rot has to be cut out of the tree.
So long, JD Lawfare Suckahs,…. live by the sword, Die by the Sword!
“Your Honer, I Rest! ‘
Will CNN be there to cover their coming 5 AM Swat Team house raids,… Like they ordered on Team Trump?
Loving the FO part of the FAFO going around.
Trump learned a lot in the 4 years between terms. He’s well prepared and has planned well for this 2nd term. ALL TRAITORS WILL BE PURGED!
judge Emmet Sullivan who refused to accept the DOJs order to end the malicious and fake Mike Flynn case needs to be fired too.
He retired
“…the administration’s determination to purge the government of workers it perceives as disloyal to the president.”
How about disloyal to the Constitution and the founding principles of this Federal Republic? Might that have had something to do with this excision of a small portion of the cancer, AP?
I wish Rush were still alive and on the radio — his program would be a blast this week! Can you imagine?
Honestly, what did they expect?
Who knows? Perhaps Acting AG James McHenry might be a better fit than Pam Bondi.
I’m overdosing on winnamins but I just can’t stop taking them. The dopamine receptors are shot. This is going to be an incredible 4 years.
The 50 FBLie agents SHOULD also be questioned and their jobs on the line IF they were AWARE of possible criminal and/or UNETHICAL actions taken.
Real progress when Mary McCord is fired…
