The Senate worked late through the night to confirm Todd Blanche as U.S. Attorney General. The battle was against Republicans, not Democrats.

Senator Bill Cassidy finally acquiesced and voted to confirm. The Senate voted 50-49 to approve Blanche, with Republican Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski joining with Democrats to vote no. Senator Mitch McConnell is still missing.

The Machiavellian game-playing must be draining after a while.  I give Blanche credit for slogging through the process.

As a nation we are in an abusive relationship with government.  However, specifically Alaska is in an abusive relationship with Senator Lisa Murkowski, and their codependent enabling of her political existence is creating serious harm to the rest of the nation.

Senator Murkowski says she will not support the nomination of Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche to fill the full role of U.S. Attorney General.

Murkowski is not up for reelection until 2028.

I don’t like doing this, but it needs to be done.  People keep sending me this video; it is nonsense.  Steve Bannon and John Solomon broadcast a conversation targeting John Thune, Tom Cotton and Todd Blanche for obstructing the release of transcripts held in the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI).

What Solomon reports in this interview is disconnected from the process that exists.  Solomon wants the transcripts of former CIA Director John Brennan released.  Fine, no problem. Except Solomon apparently doesn’t understand the process to gain declassification of an equity that is not within the executive branch.  The transcript is in the legislative branch.

There are separation of powers issues, equity issues and stakeholder issues that create a process that needs to be followed.  This is the same process that was used to gain the Michael Atkinson transcript from the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI).   Solomon and Joe diGenova can follow the process and succeed, just like I did. Or Solomon and diGenova can gnash their teeth, create outrage and fail.  WATCH (prompted):

This nonsense is why trusting John Solomon is a fool’s errand, and the reason why I have suspected Solomon of performance theater for several years. His teaming up with Steve Bannon, well, it just tracks.

Tick-Tock… Nothing. I digress.

First, assuming they have security clearances, John Solomon and/or Joe diGenova can ask SSCI Chairman Tom Cotton to let them read the Brennan transcript in the SSCI secured compartmented intelligence facility (scif).  There is nothing stopping them, or anyone else with a clearance, from reading the transcript; assuming Cotton would permit it (he would). That’s the first point.

John Solomon, working for the administration on behalf of President Trump, has released internal FBI information that surrounded an investigation of President Trump and other officials following the firing of James Comey.  {DOCUMENTS HERE}

When FBI Director James Comey was fired, the FBI triggered an extension to the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.  That new investigation was codenamed “Oxferd Comma.”  The investigation was created by the FBI Counterintelligence Division and approved by FBI General Counsel James Baker and FBI Counterintelligence Deputy Bill Priestap.

Obviously, the FBI crew who were illegally weaponizing their offices to fabricate Crossfire Hurricane, the ridiculous Trump-Russia investigation – which was used as a justification to coverup their preexisting surveillance operation, were angered that President Trump had fired their leader, James Comey.  So, the crew who controlled the FBI decided to open another counterintelligence operation using the firing as evidence that Trump was colluding with Russia.

This crew was an out of control, rogue, totally political and power-hungry group of activists posing as FBI and DOJ officials.

The material justification behind ‘Oxferd Comma’ is as insufferable and ridiculous as the material they tried to frame around Crossfire Hurricane.  In fact, the material was identical.

The DOJ Fraud Division, U.S. Attorney’s Office, and Pennsylvania Attorney General today announced criminal charges against 19 defendants, including owners and employees of home care companies, for their alleged participation in various fraud schemes involving over four million dollars in claims to Medicare and Medicaid.

The Pennsylvania Attorney General also announced a plea agreement involving the final defendant in a previously-charged 21 defendant case involving over $1.7 million in claims.

Assistant Attorney General Colin M. McDonald of the Justice Department’s National Fraud Enforcement Division, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Administrator for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, U.S. Attorney David Metcalf for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and senior federal and state officials hold a press conference announcing a significant health care fraud takedown and a new Anti-Fraud Initiative in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

To emphasize the scope of the fraud in California and New York Dr Oz notes, “the number one job in the entire state is personal care services.” (WATCH – prompted):

DOJ Press Release – […] The defendants’ conduct was characterized by extraordinary greed. In one case, the Pennsylvania Attorney General charged a purported home health aide who claimed to have provided services to up to seven Medicaid recipients at once. On over 1,100 occasions, the defendant allegedly claimed to have provided care for more than 24 hours in a single day, totaling over 64,000 hours that could not have been worked.

Senators Thom Tillis and John Cornyn finally dropped their opposition to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche advancing the nomination with a judiciary committee vote 12-10 along party lines.

Senator Chuck Grassley navigated a pathway out of the committee with an agreement by AAG Blanche that an IRS lawsuit settlement agreement between the DOJ and Trump attorneys would not create a J6 victim’s compensation fund.

The $1.8 billion settlement between the IRS and lawyers representing President Trump for leaking the candidates’ personal tax returns still remains at the heart of the matter. What Donald Trump and the Trump Organization plan to do with the settlement is unknown, hence the political consternation about the settlement remains in place.

WASHINGTON DC – […] Judiciary Chair Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said ahead of the vote that Cornyn and Tillis’ concerns about the fund “and the IRS settlement were shared by many, including this senator.” He added that the changes Blanche made “put this issue to bed once and for all.”

The Dept of Justice in Washington, DC, dropped all charges against David Hearn for damage to the reflecting pool, saying instead that an investigation has led to information the installation was botched during construction.

Obviously, the leftists are taking a victory lap against previous accusations by President Trump that vandalism was the major cause of the algae return.

(VIA NBC) – […] In a filing Friday afternoon, a supervisor in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, which is headed by Jeanine Pirro, wrote that officials obtained information that undermined “the evidentiary basis for the indictment” against Hearn.

Prosecutors said that after the indictment, the Interior Department “provided additional documents to the USAO-DC indicating that damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor, Atlantic Industrial Coatings.”

DOJ said they “first became aware of information showing that the damage was the result of a botched installation and not vandalism” after reviewing more documents.

The Justice Department filing said that based on its review of evidence, “it is difficult to attribute the widespread damage to the Reflecting Pool to vandalism, let alone to establish that fact beyond a reasonable doubt.” (read more)

President Trump disagrees with the DOJ determination of cause.

The issue of illegal aliens being detained while awaiting their transport out of the country is destined to eventually hit the Supreme Court.

Several courts of appeal have split on the issue of whether illegal aliens can be detained during processing out of the country with some saying yes and some saying, no.  The Nineth Circuit Court of Appeals weighed in today and also said no, with a rather goofy and odd reason in their opinion. [Court Ruling Here]

The 9th CCA doesn’t like the term “illegal alien” so they use the politically correct term, “unadmitted aliens” to describe non-Americans who are in the country illegally.  Technically, the entire population of planet Earth is “unadmitted” to the United States, so far. However, as Orwell noted twisting the jargon makes it easier to violate common law.  I digress.

According to the 9th CCA because no other President has attempted to round up the tens of millions of illegal aliens, it must mean that detaining tens of millions of illegal aliens, while the govt processes them out, is unlawful.  In essence, it hasn’t been done, therefore it must be against the law.

[Page 5] …”That no Administration has ever found a duty mandatorily to detain unadmitted aliens present in the interior of the country is strong evidence that [such duty] does not exist.”….

Because Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden never detained illegal aliens, the Ninth CCA uses their failure to protect the nation as an affirmation that protecting the nation is not the goal of immigration law.

This is how far away from commonsense we have traveled in this bastardized lawfare judicial system.

Republican senators John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are refusing to support Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche for full senate confirmation.

President Trump notes he will not accept the threats and blackmail from both outgoing senators and will renominate Todd Blanche if needed after the two senators are removed from office.

[Via Truth Social] – “Todd Blanche is a STAR, and everyone knows it! He has the potential to go down as one of the Greatest Attorney Generals of All Time. However, John Cornyn, of Texas, and Thom Tillis, of North Carolina, both of whom I refused to Endorse, and whose political careers have been ended by my action, are refusing to vote for this Great Nominee, who will remain, in any event, as Acting.

Remember, both Cornyn and Tillis voted for Merrick Garland, and others, too numerous to mention. I have no objection to temporarily withdrawing Todd’s name, if they do not do the right thing, and putting him back after Cornyn and Tillis are out of office.”

~ President DONALD J. TRUMP

I would strongly suggest interested readers or researchers to go back and look carefully at the very public comments from Senate Intelligence Community Vice-Chairman Mark Warner, as they relate to the seizure of Fulton County, GA, election records.   What you might notice forms the background of an uncomfortable change in perspective.

In nearly all of Warner’s remarks, his main argument centered on opposing DNI Tulsi Gabbard’s presence at the Fulton County election records warehouse. He wasn’t worried about the FBI seizing the records; rather, he was deeply concerned about Gabbard observing the seizure.

Here’s part of the bigger problem.

When wrongdoing, fraud, corruption, or criminal activity occurs within a federal agency, including the Intelligence Community, the FBI is the institution tasked with investigating it.

That’s the problem.

People ask repeatedly, why has there been no accountability for the obvious corruption?

Perhaps we really don’t want to accept the obvious answer.

The FBI is doing corrupt, criminal and fraudulent stuff because the institution of the FBI is comprehensively corrupt. As a consequence, they are allied -directly or through willful blindness- with operatives in other agencies doing criminal, corrupt and fraudulent stuff.

Think about “security clearances.” Which agency or institution determines the outcomes of Security Clearance reviews or investigations? Who is responsible for approving or denying security clearances? The same FBI.

The same FBI agency who took possession of Hillary Clinton’s missing emails, Huma Abedin/Anthony Weiner’s laptop and Hunter Biden’s laptop. The same FBI agency who took custody of Jeffrey Epstein’s safe contents. The same FBI agency who raided James O’Keefe to retrieve the Ashley Biden diary. That’s the same FBI agency now with custody of the Fulton County election evidence.
