A report from Fox News implies President-Elect Donald Trump is considering Texas Senator Ted Cruz for the position of Attorney General. –STORY HERE–

There’s a great deal of political irony in this possibility.  Most of you know our research indicated the entire reason Ted Cruz ran for the Senate in 2011 was because he was rebuked by the Bush clan as inexperienced, over-reaching and thinking too highly of himself,  when he wanted to be considered for the AG position by George Dubya.

In the continuing media saga/melt-down over President-Elect Donald Trump’s audacity to eat a meal in a restaurant with his family we find the following quote from former Obama administration spokesperson Tommy “Dude” Vietor:

Former Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor emails:
The White House Correspondents Association has to be ready to respond much more forcefully if Trump continues to ignore long-standing traditions of press access. That’s especially true for the five network bureau chiefs who hold most of the power.
I’d like to see them publicly detail their expectations as well as the potential repercussions if those demands continue to be ignored.

President-Elect Donald Trump went out to a steakhouse for dinner with his family this evening, and a wounded media completely melt down because they were not invited:

New York – Donald Trump ditched his press entourage to eat dinner with his family in a famous New York steak house – and was met with a standing ovation.

Trump slipped away from the press pack that usually follows him to dine at the exclusive 21 Club, located four blocks from Trump Tower.

It’s the first time he’s left the tower since he returned from Washington, DC on Thursday, and his surprise visit was met with applause from diners at 21 Club (link)

A report in the Huffington Post outlines some tremors within the activist civil rights division of the Department of Justice following the election:
(Via HuffPo) […]  Former DOJ official Jonathan Smith, whose work included the Civil Rights Division’s investigation into widespread unconstitutional behavior by the Ferguson Police Department, said he suspects many attorneys within the division are already preparing to depart.
“My guess is that [Wednesday], half the division spent the day fixing up their resumes,” he said. “I expect that you’re going to see, starting almost immediately, an outflow of very committed lawyers who are going to look for other ways to make a contribution and to not stick through a Trump administration.”
“I’m very concerned about what’s going to happen to the Civil Rights Division and the progress that’s been made on critical issues around criminal justice,” he added. “It’s really quite terrifying.”

Those who have not followed U.S. politics closely, and more specifically the political constructs of those who have hidden inside the DC politburo on both sides of the UniParty, may possibly be missing a very essential perspective.

Each step along this electoral path, in both the primary and the general election, we gradually identified, then accepted, a very welcome (almost stunning) reality that Donald Trump holds a granular level of comprehension about political representatives in DC.
It’s easier to give examples than to try and explain:

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is the architect of the Trump immigration enforcement structures.  Working diligently behind the scenes Kobach is constructing the actual mechanisms and actionable policies that will make President Trump’s policy proposals actually come into fruition.
Fortuitously, President Obama’s executive actions -as carried out by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)- have created convenient lists of many illegal aliens.
The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), otherwise known as President Obama’s “Dreamers”, and the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA), which targets the parents of the dreamers, has conveniently assembled a registration of names and addresses of unlawful aliens.
During President Obama’s press conference yesterday he was asked by a reporter if he could keep the list from the Trump administration.   President Obama responded by saying he hoped Trump would not overturn his executive actions on immigration.

“We are constantly told that the only two options are massive roundups [of illegal immigrants] or an amnesty. But attrition through enforcement is the third way. Change the individual decisions of particular illegal aliens, and they will decide to leave the country.” (link)  ~ Kris Kobach

Newt Gingrich appeared on Fox News last night to counter the faux-controversy of the Trump appointments:

Based entirely on this interview segment it certainly appears that Laura Ingraham has been made an offer and is considering the ramifications:

The front of the story is that President Elect Donald Trump’s transition team requested security clearances for Donald Jr., Ivanka, Jerrod and Eric Trump.
The reason for the request is simple: in order to see the executive dossier’s and backgrounds of some governmental officials -who are under consideration for Trump administration positions- you must have a security clearance.
Almost everyone on the transition team needs a security clearance in order to see details of the candidate backgrounds.  It is no big deal, and has nothing to do with anything except the ability to review information, candidate experience, qualifications and provide an opinion.
However, that said – the bigger back story issue as outlined in this tweet from CBS is far more concerning. It would appear the Obama administration is leaking private discussions to CBS news:

Now ask yourself:

• who is the White House National Security Communications Director?
• And why would leaks be going to CBS News?
