Delivering a statement via Truth Social returning from the G7 in France. President Trump has suspended the nomination of SDNY U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton, cancelling Wednesday afternoon’s SSCI hearing on the nomination.
The late-night timing appears to be due to President Trump focused on the G7 discussions and now turns his focus back to the domestic agenda; DNI, Save America Act and FISA (702) reauthorization.
President Trump outlines in the Truth Social post that FISA (702) renewal must be attached to the Save America Act, and Jay Clayton’s replacement, Jamie McDonald, must be confirmed to replace Clayton in the SDNY prior to the DNI nomination moving forward. This position puts Bill Pulte’s appointment as Acting DNI back into the mix.
VIA TRUTH SOCIAL – “The Republicans agreed with Dumocrats to remove very fair, and talented, William Pulte, from serving as Acting DNI in return for getting FISA approved by the Dumocrats. However, the Republicans moved so fast with the hearings of the Great Jay Clayton, current U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, that Pulte would be gone before the Dumocrats would vote on FISA.
Now, the Dumocrats are saying they will vote against FISA — So, the Republicans wound up having fulfilled their commitment, but Dumocrats broke the Deal.
In addition, the newly nominated U.S. Attorney, Jamie McDonald, must be confirmed and blue slipped. Because of the ridiculous views of Republicans on blue slipping (Dumocrats are often willing to nix it), I may not be able to get the extraordinary Sullivan & Cromwell Partner, Jamie, approved, and I don’t want to take Jay Clayton away from the great job he is doing until Jamie is in place.
Therefore, to add a slight bit of intrigue but, for the Good of the Nation, and the People of our Country, I will not approve FISA without THE SAVE AMERICA ACT going along with it. Not complicated, actually, the Republicans fell into a trap.
Regarding the approval of our Great Patriot, Jay Clayton, we are cancelling the Senate Hearing RE: DNI today, and will not be going forward until Jamie McDonald is approved to be U.S. Attorney. In the meantime, Bill Pulte will remain as the Acting Director of National Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
None of these back-and-forth moves would be necessary if Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune were aligned with the Republican President. Alas, with Thune representing a dysfunctional wing of a Senate UniParty, his priorities are in alignment against the President.
This was where things stood with Thune before the Truth Social post (prompted).
.
In a note of irony, I think we can all thank John Cornyn for this outcome and response by President Trump. John Cornyn told AG nominee Todd Blanche he was withholding support until the DOJ gave him Trump family tax information.
However, John Cornyn was very happy with Jay Clayton and FISA renewal.
So, Trump suspended Jay Clayton and FISA renewal.
What Fourth Amendment? We don’t need no stinkin’ Fourth amendment. BTW, if you think your financial information is protected from Federal snoops, go over to “The Hill” this morning [yeah, I know it is a left wing source] and read the opinion piece, “Your Financial Records Have NO Fourth Amendment Protections.”
If it’s recorded anywhere they have it. Geez like it was planned when IRS, and federal reserve were created? This is ancient evil, conjured from hell centuries ago. Wealth and power men thought was for them, ha. Ignorant people. We don’t learn we erase our mistakes.
Yes!!!
Might want to go back and read the C&C post from yesterday re Bill Pulte and Trump’s NSPM-12 memo.
Things might get interesting.

Guy gets posted a fair amount here-I can’t read him-too discursive for me.
Wow, that is a word with negative and positive definitions.
from Webster:
1
a
: moving from topic to topic without order : rambling
gave a discursive lecture
discursive prose
b
: proceeding coherently from topic to topic
2
philosophy : marked by a method of resolving complex expressions into simpler or more basic ones : marked by analytical reasoning
3
: of or relating to discourse
From disorderly rambling to coherent procession to using reasoning to understand complexity. These dictionary people can’t make up their minds. It is almost as if they intentionally made this definition discursive.

I enjoy his writing style! Very positive, serious but lighthearted! Thanks for posting!
Thanks for that. These things in action are defanging the DS, and removing the silo walls !!
WOW, thanks Troublemaker —- Deep State Cleanup In Aisle NPSM-12 !
Part two of the article was such welcome news to me: President Trump’s new executive order NPSM-12. Just issued in time for Pulte to hit the ground running with powerful tools to corner and take on the Deep State.
John Cornyn wanted revenge for his loss and Trump’s endorsement of Paxton. He thinks Trump is vulnerable on the tax front and showed his hand too soon. Now he has a taste of it, all the dirt and filth he has wallowed in with his Senate buddies all these years as his plan face plants and he exits the halls of powere forever.
Not bad for a day’s work Preasident Trump.
If they’re sniffing around trump tax filings again, did they not learn the boomerang last time ? These evil congress critters are also stupid
They are so desperate for MAGA to lose Bigly in the midterms and to destroy PDJT by the hint of “family tax issues”. Even if there is no investigation, Cornyn was able to do water cooler, office gossip level of smear against PDJT.
The reason they all hate President Trump is because he’s more intelligent, more controlled, more disciplined than they are, and he outsmarts them at every turn.
Their duplicity and lies are exposed and they are gutless cowards; Dumbocrats and RINO’s both
IMO, they all hate President Trump because he’s messing with their bank accounts and the bank accounts of their families and close friends.
Money talks…everything else walks with most politicians.
Please, it is not opinion.
It is fact.
The proverbial stick stuck in the spokes of their bikes…🤣🤣🤣
President Trump talks and he takes no reimbursement. It’s like the princess and the Spanish prince who proposed a dalliance. When she paused he successfully raised the gratuity. Befuddled, the prince asked ” now that we know what you are, why did we haggle over the price?” President Trump is not for sale but Thune is.
To think that Congress is opposed to only US citizens voting in elections!
Thune claims, in so many words- there is not enough support for requiring citizens only being allowed to vote.
With such, who needs enemies?
They’re already here.
Apologies for stating the obvious.
I like how he sets traps to see the public position of the Republican traitors. This was a perfectly planned and set up 3 way trap.
He saw how quickly the RINOs teed up a time to confirm one of their approved nominees. They couldn’t wait to get Jay Clayton for DNI shoved through nearly immediately but still cannot get SAVE America Act voted on. Congress does not want the optics of Congressional Uni-party voting against fraud/cheat free elections. How many incumbents would be voted out?
Awesome!!!
My “senior” head is swimming just trying to keep up with our 80 year old President!!
This man was built for these times, thank the Lord🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻What a time to be alive🥰.
I’d say Make America Great Again, but just look at all these people here for FIFA who ALREADY think America is Great!!!! 🇺🇸
I think Mr. President has mastered maneuvering through DC politics and the swamp.
Why do I hear the voice of the great Andrew Breitbart?
So be it…
“F@#K You…WAR.”
You just made my day! We could use more Breitbart and Scalia now.
Thune is just carrying McConnell’s spear. The SAVE Act polls over 70% on a bipartisan basis. It does not matter to these rats.
Is Pulte doing work with Tulsi inside DNI now?
Does Tulsi like Clayton as her replacement?
Trump must be reading Sundance’s postings!
With the nomination of USASDNY James Clayton as DNI, linked with the FISA extension AND the SAVE Act, President Trump agreed to a deal that required concessions from all parties involved.
Anyone who wishes to do so can use the TS piece in question as proof that President Trump is both mentally sharp and able to see the pitfalls that arise when various (seemingly) unrelated issues are addressed in the wrong order and as a result, only parts of these agreements are being implemented:
“The Republicans agreed with Dumocrats to remove very fair, and talented, William Pulte, from serving as Acting DNI in return for getting FISA approved by the Dumocrats. However, the Republicans moved so fast with the hearings of the Great Jay Clayton, current U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, that Pulte would be gone before the Dumocrats would vote on FISA. Now, the Dumocrats are saying they will vote against FISA — So, the Republicans wound up having fulfilled their commitment, but Dumocrats broke the Deal.”
“Blue slipping” of USASDNY nominee Jamie McDonald:
“I may not be able to get the extraordinary Sullivan & Cromwell Partner, Jamie, approved, and I don’t want to take Jay Clayton away from the great job he is doing until Jamie is in place. Therefore, to add a slight bit of intrigue but, for the Good of the Nation, and the People of our Country, I will not approve FISA without THE SAVE AMERICA ACT going along with it. Not complicated, actually, the Republicans fell into a trap.”
At this time, it is impossible to pass the SAVE Act because more than three republican senators (Collins, McConnell, Murkowski, and Tillis) are blocking. Therefore the 50 required votes are lacking.

Thune may actually have to do some work and scale back his daily 10 mile runs. There needs to be an audit done on every member of Congress to prove they are actually working a 40 hour work week.
And the best thing is he did while still in Europe at the G7 so the angry Congress mob can;t
run to his office to have words with him.
