politicususa--2020-10-07--Report Reveals Trump Was Adamant About Ripping Migrant Kids From Parents, No Matter Their Age

Donald Trump ’ s cruel and inhumane immigration policy will forever be a dark stain on this country ’ s history , but a new report reveals that it ’ s even worse than previously reported .
According to The New York Times , the stated goal of Trump ’ s immigration policy was to rip children from their parents , regardless of how young the kids were .
“ We need to take away children , ” then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions reportedly said , echoing the wishes of the president .
More from the report : [ T ] @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Jeff Sessions , made it clear what Mr. Trump wanted on a conference call later that afternoon , according to a two-year inquiry by the Justice Department ’ s inspector general into Mr. Trump ’ s “ zero tolerance ” family separation policy .
“ We need to take away children , ” Mr .
Sessions told the prosecutors , according to participants ’ notes .
One added in shorthand : “ If care about kids , don ’ t bring them in .
Won ’ t give amnesty to people with kids.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ deputy attorney general , went even further in a second call about a week later , telling the five prosecutors that it did not matter how young the children were .
He said that government lawyers should not have refused to prosecute two cases simply because the children were barely more than infants .
“ Those two cases should not have been declined , ” John Bash , the departing U.S. attorney in western Texas , wrote to his staff immediately after the call .
Mr. Rosenstein “ instructed that , per the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ NOT be categorically declining immigration prosecutions of adults in family units because of the age of a child.
” Trump ’ s immigration policy will be remembered as a low point in American history After four years of chaos and corruption , it is sometimes easy to lose track of all the heinous things this president and his administration have done .
But the Trump administration ’ s “ zero tolerance ” immigration policy of separating children from their parents – no matter their age – and locking them in cages is among @ @ @ @ @ @ @ committed .
While it may have gotten swept away in the non-stop hurricane of scandal and incompetence that has defined this president ’ s tenure , it will be remembered as one of the lowest points in American history .

Trump’s immigration policy will be remembered as a low point in American history
After four years of chaos and corruption, it is sometimes easy to lose track of all the heinous things this president and his administration have done.
But the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy of separating children from their parents – no matter their age – and locking them in cages is among the most egregious acts this president has committed.
While it may have gotten swept away in the non-stop hurricane of scandal and incompetence that has defined this president’s tenure, it will be remembered as one of the lowest points in American history.

Not surprisingly, Joe Biden and his campaign decided to treat the matter with empathy and concern. Almost immediately, the Democrats announced that they would be pulling negative ads against Trump for a period of 14 days.
But Donald Trump has not been your average COVID-19 sufferer. And the Trump campaign was pretty clear that they did not plan on removing any of their negative ads.
Still Joe Biden wrote on Twitter, “This cannot be a partisan moment. It must be an American moment. We have to come together as a nation.”
And now that Trump is back to working in the Oval Office, despite the fact that he is still highly contagious with a deadly virus, the Biden campaign has decided that they will go back on the attack.
Spokesman Michael Gwin explained the decision:
“Our campaign has always been about making the positive case for Joe Biden, but there’s a stark contrast between Vice President Biden and Donald Trump and their visions for our country. We’re going to continue to make a full-throated case for Vice President Biden and we will forcefully correct the record when Trump attacks and lies.”

Attorney General William Barr has removed a long-standing prohibition against the DOJ interfering in elections .
Avoiding election interference is the overarching principle of DOJ policy on voting-related crimes .
In place since at least 1980 , the policy generally bars prosecutors not only from making any announcement about ongoing investigations close to an election but also from taking public steps — such as an arrest or a raid — before a vote is finalized because the publicity could tip the balance of a race .
But according to an email sent Friday by an official in the Public Integrity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ U.S. attorney ’ s office suspects election fraud that involves postal workers or military employees , federal investigators will be allowed to take public investigative steps before the polls close , even if those actions risk affecting the outcome of the election .
The Attorney General is trying to use the Department of Justice to taint the election results and help Donald Trump stay in power .
Barr is trying to give Republicans ammo to delegitimize and contest the election .
This strategy will only work if the election is close .
If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Iowa , North Carolina , Arizona or any other red states along with Pennsylvania , Michigan , and Wisconsin , it will be impossible for Republicans to contest the election if they are blown out of the water by Biden and Harris .

The Attorney General is trying to use the Department of Justice to taint the election results and help Donald Trump stay in power. Barr is trying to give Republicans ammo to delegitimize and contest the election.
This strategy will only work if the election is close. If Donald Trump loses Florida, Texas, Iowa, North Carolina, Arizona or any other red states along with Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, it will be impossible for Republicans to contest the election if they are blown out of the water by Biden and Harris.
Trump can’t out campaign Joe Biden. He can’t out fundraise Biden, so his only option left is to use the power of the Executive Branch of the government to tip the election in his favor.

Trump ’ s doctor is now predicting that the President will be back to normal by Saturday hours after Pelosi suggested the 25th Amendment .
Here is the statement from Dr. Sean Conley : It is not a coincidence that the statement from Trump ’ s doctor was released after Speaker of the House Pelosi said that House Democrats are going to move toward invoking the 25th Amendment to take away Trump ’ s presidential powers .
House Democrats are going to introduce a bill that would create an oversight commission on the President ’ s health , which would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 25th Amendment .
Trump is clearly not well , and unless his doctor is a psychic , he has no way of knowing that Trump will be back to normal by Saturday .
The other question is , what will normal be for Donald Trump after getting the coronavirus and being on experimental drugs ?
The one vital piece of information that the medical update did not contain is the date of Trump ’ s last negative coronavirus test .
Trump refused to participate in next week ’ s presidential debate because it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ made a series of decisions that are even more erratic than usual .
The American people should be skeptical of medical updates that are nothing more than political documents designed to keep Trump in power .

Trump’s doctor is now predicting that the President will be back to normal by Saturday hours after Pelosi suggested the 25th Amendment.
Here is the statement from Dr. Sean Conley:
It is not a coincidence that the statement from Trump’s doctor was released after Speaker of the House Pelosi said that House Democrats are going to move toward invoking the 25th Amendment to take away Trump’s presidential powers. House Democrats are going to introduce a bill that would create an oversight commission on the President’s health, which would be the first step toward invoking the 25th Amendment.
Trump is clearly not well, and unless his doctor is a psychic, he has no way of knowing that Trump will be back to normal by Saturday.
The other question is, what will normal be for Donald Trump after getting the coronavirus and being on experimental drugs?
The one vital piece of information that the medical update did not contain is the date of Trump’s last negative coronavirus test.
Trump refused to participate in next week’s presidential debate because it will be virtual, and he has made a series of decisions that are even more erratic than usual.
The American people should be skeptical of medical updates that are nothing more than political documents designed to keep Trump in power.

Trump lost it after Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that she is going to bring up invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from power.
Pelosi said at her press conference:
.@SpeakerPelosi: "Tomorrow, by the way, tomorrow, come here tomorrow. We're going to be talking about the 25th Amendment." Full video here: https://t.co/5q4HIglmaZ pic.twitter.com/8Jeim87yJM — CSPAN (@cspan) October 8, 2020
Trump responded:
Crazy Nancy is the one who should be under observation. They don’t call her Crazy for nothing! https://t.co/7vE0Jvq0dM — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 8, 2020
Trump’s response to the fact that he appears to be mentally compromised and unable to carry out his duties is to say, “I’m not crazy. You’re crazy.”
The White House has once again on Thursday refused to tell reporters when Trump’s last negative COVID test was, which suggests that Trump still hasn’t tested negative. Even Trump’s own son thinks that it is 25th Amendment time because his father is acting crazy.
Speaker Pelosi is correct. The Republican Party won’t do it, so Democrats have to protect the country. Trump is getting crazier by the day, and it will be up to Democrats to push for the nation to be saved from the COVID ravaged president.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said that the militia members who plotted to kidnap Gov .

AG Nessel said on MSNBC : They traffic in the politics of extremism but I ’ ll say this .
I ’ m a lifelong Michigander and you can go back to the Oklahoma City bombing and see there ’ s a relationship between Michigan militia groups and that horrible event but things died down for quite some time and things escalated exponentially recently and first of all , of course , having a president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actions .
Certainly , I would say more than dog whistles out there .
Right ?
I mean , very good people on both sides .
And as you indicated before tweets to liberate Michigan .
What does that mean exactly ?
And , you know , calls to stand back and stand by talking about the proud boys .
So this is a president that traffics in extremism and I hear the press frequently talk about it in terms of a dog whistle to these groups but to me it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ really a command to action more than anything and especially I see that in terms of our governor , what these groups often tend to do is they take advantage of moments of civil unrest and between the covid epidemic and the black lives matter protests , things have only escalated more and more and you see this hateful rhetoric against our governor for months and months and seen it enabled not just by the president but by other elected leaders in our state that call her a dictator or use other very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that this is building up for a long time .
The FBI has taken note of it and it was time to step in and to ensure that she did not lose her life and that we didn ’ t have anybody else in our states potentially threatened either and time to move forward on these 13 different defendants .
Trump has sent a clear signal to right-wing groups that their extremism and violence will be approved of and tolerated by him and his administration .
The Whitmer plot had been in motion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they are an example of the sort of extremist violence that Trump has given his implicit seal of approval to .
When Trump refused to denounce right-wing extremism and white supremacy at the first presidential debate , he was giving militias and white supremacists a thumbs up .

The current outbreak within the White House has been traced back to a September 26 event announcing the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court. Several top officials have tested positive for the virus, and Trump was taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center after his oxygen levels dropped.
The President faced significant criticism over the weekend for leaving his hospital bed to greet supporters, exposing members of his staff. Many American voters are not sympathetic to Trump, arguing that he would not have tested positive for the coronavirus if he had worn a mask, social distanced and followed the recommendations from public health experts.
