Delivering a statement via Truth Social 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.
Heh heh heh
Agreed! This is actually hilarious!!
Bill Pulte — who knew he’d be so instrumental?
so, when is another arkancide attempt against PDJT going to happen, now that he has done this? hmmmmm?
Not funny, dummy!
Not funny, but a reasonable assumption to be made.
I’m sure it’s in motion,as we speak
It is tiring how “playing politics” is thrown out as the do-it-all complaint. It’s ALL POLITICS, guys. Everyone knows it.
You’re playing politics. They’re playing politics. Everyone is playing politics.
Politics is the art of getting what you want from others. It’s America’s favorite contact sport.
But so far the bullets are only flying in one direction.
The other side better hope they don’t awake a sleeping giant.
Ahhhh Check Mate..Mate.
Did I just hear a BOOM
No, unless it was your gas exploding. In that case is was your gas.

You arent very discerning Robin. The Liberty Daily is a highly Antisemetic news media. They constantly oppose Trump and Israel and support Hezbollah and Hamas. JD Rucker is a nazi sleeper cell agent, go into his rumble posts from the Liberty daily…constant antisemetic attacks, tgey have ramped up at a furious pace over the last 6 months, most of the followers are literal liberal nazi lovers who believer Israel should be driven into the sea, eliminated…thats not MAGA at all. JD Rucker is also a person who complained when he was deplatformed and silenced by Democrats during the Jotato Biden years, yet today he has silenced anyone who calls out his antisemitism tgat he tries to hide, but keeps pumping out tge antisemetic videos and pumping up his nazi fan base. Tge guy claims to be the new Drudge Report…well thats absolutely true…Drudge turned on conservatives when Trump came on the scene, Rucker believes Trump is Netanyahus puppet and his site pumps that disinformation out continuously, mixed with the facad of messages pretending to be supportive.
He is a 21st century Nazi Antisemite, who doesnt believe in Romans 12 at all. Beware a christian who selectively picks and chooses which segements of the Bible they believe in, and which segments they cast aside or ignore…its a sure sign their theological beliefs they teach ( false teaching) are just as disjoint.
It is very suspicious how happy the RINOs are with the Jay Clayton appointment.
Yeah as soon as Warner stated his love for the guy,I knew he was the wrong choice.
Cornyn is a real deep state traitor.
Y Q…wth is Cornyn to demand to see Potut/fam/ business taxes? When did that become a law? What a moron.So glad we voted this clown out
Made my day. ❤️😂🙏
deep state tries to worm itself back in charge to cover up their own criminality
And just like that the curtain is lifted. The Senate is Snakes & Vipers.
AND….. FISA….. helped us during RUSSIA GATE!
FK…. these a holes who go against what 75% of the American need and DEMAND!
I hope Thune gets whiplash from his non-compliance.
EH-PIC!!!!
Who does Coryn think he is, Lisa Murkowski!?
Mr. Trump’s transparency is refreshing. It makes distortions and half-truths much more difficult through the direct dissemination of data by means of Truth Social. Let’s see how the Democrats posture against Sun Tzu’s best student in the 21st Century. Although I think I know who will get the better deal in the end, the antics are very entertaining. Where is that popcorn..?
So once again antiAmerican RINO trash gets outted as human filth by President Donald J Trump. Folks I have to tell you, when he leaves as is inevitable, these RINOs are the idiots some of you geniuses like to put into office to have a Liberal with an fake R next to their names. Yall better smarten up…this exact issue is on you lower intelligence voters, its a recurring problem from the same people for 50 years now. Know who the enemy is people, never listen to what they say…always judge them by what they dont do…no passes to any of them…it is OUR country, and we have never been closer to losing the USA on OUR watch because of such moronic voting across certain states…we see you clearly now, you will get the blame. The RINO politicians who sink the US are YOUR proxies. If America falls, society will not be a pleasant place for you.
After the Senate Parlimentarian blocked the ballroom and the Save Act, Trump must have said to himself, “Two can play at that game.” Remember, she’s a Dem appointment, and Thune refuses to replace her and move the Save Act forward.
“The SAVE America Act: Parlimentarian Elizabeth MacDonough also ruled that the GOP-backed voter ID legislation, which would mandate photo identification to vote, cannot be passed via simple majority budget reconciliation. Instead, she determined it is subject to a traditional Democratic filibuster, necessitating 60 votes to clear the Senate”
