WATCH: Ted Cruz GRILLS Rod Rosenstein on why he was “grossly negligent” in overseeing the Mueller investigation

As part of the Judiciary Committee , Ted Cruz took his turn to question Rod Rosenstein and grilled him on why he was “ grossly negligent ” in his oversight of the Mueller investigation as acting director of the Justice Department : Essentially Cruz is arguing that either Rosenstein was complicit in the misdeeds of the FBI which led to the Mueller investigation or that he was ‘ grossly negligent ’ .
Cruz makes clear that he believes it ’ s the latter and not the former .
He then proceeds to question Rosenstein on why he didn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more , especially considering the highly political environment he entered on the day he became acting Attorney General .
Cruz also hammered Rosenstein for allowing an investigation into Flynn to continue predicated on the unconstitutional Logan Act .
Be sure and watch the full video , as the questioning gets more intense as it goes on .
Also , here ’ s an earlier recap from the hearing by John Solomon where Rosenstein admitted there was no evidence of collusion by August 2017 when he signed the scope memo for Mueller : Former @ @ @ @ @ @ @ concede on Wednesday that by August of 2017 there was no evidence that the Trump campaign had colluded with Russians to sabotage the 2016 election , even though the investigation into that allegation would persist for another year and a half .
Addressing Rosenstein , committee member Sen. Lindsey Graham asked him : “ The whole concept , that the campaign was colluding with the Russians , there was no ‘ there ’ there in August of 2017 , do you agree or not ?
” The revelation was just one of several @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before the committee as part of its hearing examining the FBI ’ s Crossfire Hurricane investigation , which sought to uncover alleged collusion between Russian officials and the Trump campaign during the 2016 presidential race .
Rosenstein also told the committee he was unaware that an FBI field office had recommended that Gen. Michael Flynn be dropped from its Crossfire Hurricane investigation , with the former deputy attorney general agreeing that it would have “ mattered ” had he been aware of that directive .
The former deputy attorney general was asked by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ January of 2017 , the FBI field office said , ‘ we recommend General Flynn be removed ' ” from the FBI ’ s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election .
“ Would that have mattered ?
” Graham asked , to which Rosenstein responded : “ Yes.
” Rosenstein also told senators that he would not have signed the renewal of the FISA warrant for Trump associate Carter Page if he had been aware of exculpatory information withheld from the FISA court .
“ If you knew then what you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the warrant application ?
” Graham asked him .
Noting the procedural errors found within the Crossfire Hurricane investigation , Rosenstein told senators in prepared remarks that the Justice Department “ must take remedial action ” against any misconduct it uncovers within its ranks , a bracing statement made in reference to investigative reviews that found “ significant errors ” in official procedures related to the FBI ’ s Crossfire Hurricane investigation .

MARK LEVIN: Biden has demonstrated, once and for all. that he is unfit to be president of the United States.

Mark Levin doesn ’ t hold back in a Facebook post this morning on Joe Biden , calling him an opportunist who is smearing the very people he wants to elect him as systematically racist : Joe Biden has barely mentioned , let alone condemned , the looting , arson , and rioting in our cities ; he has said nothing about the police officers maimed and murdered ; he has said nothing about the innocent citizens beaten and killed by the rioters ; he has said nothing about the small businesses destroyed ; he has said nothing about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ neighborhoods ; and , he has absolutely no prescription for putting down the violence and insurrection in these Democrat-run cities and states .
After all , he barely even acknowledges the riots , fearful that it might harm his presidential ambitions .
Biden is AWOL and incapable of protecting and defending the people of this country , their neighborhoods , and their communities .
And while he talks about systemic racism — tearing down our country , our people , and our institutions as racist — apparently after nearly 50 years in public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
How can you be president of a people and a nation you defame as systemically racist and unworthy of presidential protection and defense ?
We , the people , are a great people , who ’ ve fought a civil war and world wars for freedom and humanity .
We , the people , are a charitable people , who volunteer and commit our own resources to helping our fellow man like no other people in the world .
We , the people , are an ingenious people , who ’ ve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and products that improve the health and save the lives of untold millions .
Indeed , the list is infinite .
Yet , Biden has adopted the language and positions of those who despise this great nation and its great people .
He rips at the nation ’ s fabric , while claiming to want to unite us .
Biden is an opportunist , and always has been .
This is his third or forth run for the presidency .
He has nothing to offer the American people .
But he seems to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ President Trump at every turn , and smearing the very people he claims to want to represent , he can finally claw his way into the Oval Office .
Biden is simply not worthy of being the president of the United States .
He ’ s just another old , burned out , self-serving Washington politician .
A fool and a fraud .

Mark Levin doesn’t hold back in a Facebook post this morning on Joe Biden, calling him an opportunist who is smearing the very people he wants to elect him as systematically racist:
Joe Biden has barely mentioned, let alone condemned, the looting, arson, and rioting in our cities; he has said nothing about the police officers maimed and murdered; he has said nothing about the innocent citizens beaten and killed by the rioters; he has said nothing about the small businesses destroyed; he has said nothing about the long-term damage being inflicted on inner city neighborhoods; and, he has absolutely no prescription for putting down the violence and insurrection in these Democrat-run cities and states. After all, he barely even acknowledges the riots, fearful that it might harm his presidential ambitions.
Biden is AWOL and incapable of protecting and defending the people of this country, their neighborhoods, and their communities. And while he talks about systemic racism — tearing down our country, our people, and our institutions as racist — apparently after nearly 50 years in public office he did nothing effective about it. How can you be president of a people and a nation you defame as systemically racist and unworthy of presidential protection and defense? We, the people, are a great people, who’ve fought a civil war and world wars for freedom and humanity. We, the people, are a charitable people, who volunteer and commit our own resources to helping our fellow man like no other people in the world. We, the people, are an ingenious people, who’ve invented and created technologies, medicines, and products that improve the health and save the lives of untold millions. Indeed, the list is infinite. Yet, Biden has adopted the language and positions of those who despise this great nation and its great people. He rips at the nation’s fabric, while claiming to want to unite us. Biden is an opportunist, and always has been. This is his third or forth run for the presidency. He has nothing to offer the American people. But he seems to think that by constantly trying to undermine President Trump at every turn, and smearing the very people he claims to want to represent, he can finally claw his way into the Oval Office.

therightscoop--2020-06-04--WATCH: Tucker Carlson exposes the TRUTH about police brutality

Tonight on his show Tucker Carlson exposed the truth about police brutality , breaking down the numbers and giving the facts on what really happened , specifically with the only 10 cases from 2019 where unarmed black Americans where shot and killed by police .
Carlson begins by quoting the family lawyer for the Floyd family , Benjamin Crump , who claimed today that America is witnessing “ genocide ” .
He then breaks down the statistics on police brutality , which he got from a comprehensive database the Washington Post catalogs , and it goes something like this : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1,004 instances of people being killed by police .
802 of those incidents noted the race of the police officer and the suspect .
371 were white .
236 were black .
The vast majority of all these suspects killed were armed .
Only 10 incidents occurred where black suspects were unarmed when they were killed , nine men and one woman .
Tucker breaks each of these cases down , one by one , showing that almost all of them were justified .
There were only two cases in which an officer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sound like genocide to me .
Tucker also points out that 2019 was the safest year for black suspects in police custody since the Post began keeping their database , falling precipitously since 2015 .
But even more striking is the number of police officers killed last year , which totaled more than all unarmed suspects killed by police .
It was 48 .
There ’ s much more in the video above which you should watch , as Tucker does a fantastic job of breaking all of this down .

Tom Cotton TROLLS the New York Times after his op-ed triggered staffers so much they are holding a “town-hall” for employees to complain about it!

The sky is falling over at the New York Times .
Earlier we reported on how Tom Cotton had done a number on the left with his “ Send in the Troops ” op-ed in yesterday ’ s opinion section of the New York Times .
We already reported on some of the outrage people like AOC and her socialist buddies .
But staffers at the Times were also livid about the op-ed .
The Times notes that “ hundreds of staff members signed a letter protesting ” the publication of Cotton ’ s op-ed and that “ conversation and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ departments on Thursday.
” The paper claims that the op-ed ‘ review ’ process was rushed and that “ James Bennet , the editor in charge of the opinion section , said in a meeting with staff members that he had not read the essay before it was published.
” At the top of the article it plainly says “ Senator Tom Cotton ’ s “ Send In the Troops ” essay is now under review.
” But that ’ s not all .
The Times is actually going to hold a town-hall @ @ @ @ @ @ @ employees to express their concerns to company leaders ” which will include “ Dean Baquet , the executive editor ” and “ Mr .
Bennet , the editorial page editor.
” All Tom Cotton did was suggest using the military to back police departments up in order to stop the rioting and looting .
He was clear about it in the op-ed .
But the NY Times got it completely wrong in this triggered article making excuses for why they allowed it to be posted .
It begins this way : No , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for suppressing protests .
The Times even quotes directly from the op-ed in this very article , saying : He ’ s talking about lawbreakers , not protesters .
This is just plain idiocy or spin from the Times to portray it falsely like this .
As I was writing this post , Tom Cotton began hilariously trolling the New York Times from his Twitter account : Cotton also retweeted this from Slate with a big smile on his face : And lastly , Cotton pummeled the Times in an epic tweet about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Wow .
Cotton just dropped the mic and walked away like a complete badass .

The sky is falling over at the New York Times.

But staffers at the Times were also livid about the op-ed. The Times notes that “hundreds of staff members signed a letter protesting” the publication of Cotton’s op-ed and that “conversation and debate filled videoconference meetings for many newsroom departments on Thursday.”
The paper claims that the op-ed ‘review’ process was rushed and that “James Bennet, the editor in charge of the opinion section, said in a meeting with staff members that he had not read the essay before it was published.”
At the top of the article it plainly says “Senator Tom Cotton’s “Send In the Troops” essay is now under review.”

Utterly amazing.
All Tom Cotton did was suggest using the military to back police departments up in order to stop the rioting and looting. He was clear about it in the op-ed. But the NY Times got it completely wrong in this triggered article making excuses for why they allowed it to be posted. It begins this way:
Executives at The New York Times scrambled on Thursday to address the concerns of employees and readers who were angered by the newspaper’s publication of an opinion essay by a United States senator calling for the federal government to send the military to suppress protests against police violence in American cities.
No, no, no! He never called for suppressing protests. The Times even quotes directly from the op-ed in this very article, saying:
The Op-Ed, posted on the Times website Wednesday, carried the headline “Send In the Troops.” It was written by Tom Cotton, Republican of Arkansas. “One thing above all else will restore order to our streets: an overwhelming show of force to disperse, detain and ultimately deter lawbreakers,” the senator wrote.
He’s talking about lawbreakers, not protesters. This is just plain idiocy or spin from the Times to portray it falsely like this.
As I was writing this post, Tom Cotton began hilariously trolling the New York Times from his Twitter account:
How is everyone at the @nytimes doing tonight? — Tom Cotton (@TomCottonAR) June 5, 2020
Hey @nytimes, just this afternoon I commended your courage for not giving in to the woke, mindless liberal mob. Do I need to retract this tweet? Surely you didn't allow angry snowflakes to dictate the editorial policies of the @nytimes? https://t.co/Mudzf6kiJU — Tom Cotton (@TomCottonAR) June 5, 2020
Cotton also retweeted this from Slate with a big smile on his face:
Here's the @nytimes statement surrendering to the mindless woke mob. The upside to all of this: a reduced number of op-eds from the @nytimes! pic.twitter.com/TUddTkHvUK — Tom Cotton (@TomCottonAR) June 5, 2020
And lastly, Cotton pummeled the Times in an epic tweet about a previous Times op-ed by the Taliban:
Did the @nytimes need an all-staff meeting to repent after they published an editorial from the Taliban?https://t.co/PK1M9DWHRL — Tom Cotton (@TomCottonAR) June 5, 2020
Wow. Cotton just dropped the mic and walked away like a complete badass.

Get any candidate ready , good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ care , I ’ m endorsing .

” Wow that ’ s kinda hilarious .
She deserves it though because she is a terrible Senator .

In an interview with The Washington Post , Kelly contradicted Trump ’ s claim that he had fired Mattis .
Kelly called Mattis “ an honorable man ” and described Trump ’ s Twitter attack on the former Defense secretary as “ nasty.
” “ The president did not fire him .
He did not ask for his resignation , ” Kelly , who was Trump ’ s chief of staff when Mattis departed the administration , told the Washington Post .

In unrelated news Trump also had a few tweets about John Kelly, who said this about Trump today:
Former White House chief of staff John Kelly said Thursday that President Donald Trump “has clearly forgotten” the circumstances of former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis’s departure from the administration, breaking with his former boss to side with a fellow retired Marine Corps general. In an interview with The Washington Post, Kelly contradicted Trump’s claim that he had fired Mattis. Kelly called Mattis “an honorable man” and described Trump’s Twitter attack on the former Defense secretary as “nasty.” “The president did not fire him. He did not ask for his resignation,” Kelly, who was Trump’s chief of staff when Mattis departed the administration, told the Washington Post. “The president has clearly forgotten how it actually happened or is confused.”

…in my inner-circle, was totally exhausted by the job, and in the end just slinked away into obscurity. They all want to come back for a piece of the limelight! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 4, 2020
The problem with asking for someone to give you a letter of resignation, which you do as a courtesy to help them save face, is that it is then harder to say you fired them. I did fire James Mattis. He was no good for Obama, who fired him also, and was no good for me! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 4, 2020

therightscoop--2020-06-04--Both Romney and Murkowski LOVED LOVED LOVED Mattis criticism of Trump

In something so shocking that it could run the whole state of Utah and Alaska for a week , Mitt Romney and Lisa Murkowski announced that they absolutely adored Mattis comments yesterday criticizing Trump .
DC EXAMINER – Sen. Mitt Romney broke with most Republican lawmakers and praised former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis after he issued a rebuke of President Trump ’ s response to the protests over the death of George Floyd .
The Utah Republican and frequent Trump critic called Mattis , who served under Trump for two years before his resignation , a “ wonderful man.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was stunning and powerful .
Gen. Mattis is a man of extraordinary sacrifice .
He ’ s an American patriot .
He ’ s an individual whose judgment I respect , and I think the world of him , ” Romney said Thursday outside the Republican luncheon .
“ If I ever had to choose somebody to be in a foxhole with , it would be with Gen. Mattis .
What a wonderful , wonderful man , ” he added .
Romney 💕loves 💕 Mattis so much for his comments that he ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ foxhole with him !
Sen. Lisa Murkowski , who has broken with her party at times , including a vote against Brett Kavanaugh ’ s nomination to the Supreme Court , also praised Mattis ’ s letter on Thursday .
“ When I saw Gen. Mattis ’ s comments yesterday , I felt like perhaps we are getting to a point where we can be more honest with the concerns that we might hold internally and have the courage of our own convictions to speak up , ” Murkowski said on Thursday , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ really thankful .
I thought Gen. Mattis ’ s words were true and honest and necessary and overdue.
” “ I have been struggling for the right words , and I was encouraged a couple of nights ago when I was able to read what President Bush had written .
And I found that to be empowering for me as one leader , ” she said in reference to former President George W. Bush , who issued a statement about Floyd ’ s death this week that said those silencing protesters “ do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Murkowski ’ s so thankful that I bet she stood up and gave him a standing ovation with several old lady fist pumps in the air when she read his letter .
She ’ s also now ready to admit she doesn ’ t know if she can support Trump in November : Murkowski said she is “ struggling ” with whether she will support Trump ’ s reelection this year .
She also said questions about who she is going to vote for this year are a distraction .
“ I am @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with it for a long time .
I think you know that .
I didn ’ t support the president in the initial election , and I work hard to try to make sure that I ’ m able to represent my state well , that I ’ m able to work with any administration and any president , ” she said .
Clearly the lone Republican who voted to impeach Trump and the lone Republican who voted to impeach Kavanaugh are the two WORST Republicans in the Senate , perhaps in the @ @ @ @ @

Mattis is a man of extraordinary sacrifice. He’s an American patriot. He’s an individual whose judgment I respect, and I think the world of him,” Romney said Thursday outside the Republican luncheon. “If I ever had to choose somebody to be in a foxhole with, it would be with Gen. Mattis. What a wonderful, wonderful man,” he added.
Romney 💕loves 💕 Mattis so much for his comments that he’s already fantasizing about being in a foxhole with him!
Now Murkowski:
Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who has broken with her party at times, including a vote against Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, also praised Mattis’s letter on Thursday. “When I saw Gen. Mattis’s comments yesterday, I felt like perhaps we are getting to a point where we can be more honest with the concerns that we might hold internally and have the courage of our own convictions to speak up,” Murkowski said on Thursday, according to CNN. “I was really thankful. I thought Gen. Mattis’s words were true and honest and necessary and overdue.” “I have been struggling for the right words, and I was encouraged a couple of nights ago when I was able to read what President Bush had written. And I found that to be empowering for me as one leader,” she said in reference to former President George W. Bush, who issued a statement about Floyd’s death this week that said those silencing protesters “do not understand the meaning of America.”
Murkowski’s so thankful that I bet she stood up and gave him a standing ovation with several old lady fist pumps in the air when she read his letter.
She’s also now ready to admit she doesn’t know if she can support Trump in November:
Murkowski said she is “struggling” with whether she will support Trump’s reelection this year. She also said questions about who she is going to vote for this year are a distraction. “I am struggling with it. I have struggled with it for a long time. I think you know that. I didn’t support the president in the initial election, and I work hard to try to make sure that I’m able to represent my state well, that I’m able to work with any administration and any president,” she said.
Clearly the lone Republican who voted to impeach Trump and the lone Republican who voted to impeach Kavanaugh are the two WORST Republicans in the Senate, perhaps in the history of the Senate.

At a time when police are stretched as thin as they can be, with officers dealing with rioters and looting every night, the ridiculous mayor of Los Angeles has announced the city will be making significant cuts to the police budget in order to reinvest back into “black communities and communities of color”:
DEADLINE – Garcetti said he would be making commitments to creating racial equality. “It is time to move our rhetoric towards action to end racism in our city.” He said the city must move beyond police reforms of the past. “Prejudice can never be part of police work…It takes bravery to save lives, too.” “We will not be increasing out police budget,” said the mayor. That allocation is pegged at $1.8 billion in the mayor’s previously proposed budget. Garcetti spoke of “reinvesting in black communities and communities of color.”

The mayor proceeded to announce $250 million in cuts to the proposed budget and to reallocate those dollars to communities of color, “so we can invest in jobs, in education and healing.” L.A. Police Commission President Eileen Decker then announced that $100 million-$150 million of those cuts would come from the police department budget. L.A. City Council President Nury Martinez made it official Wednesday by introducing a motion to cut LAPD funding, “as we reset our priorities in the wake of the murder of #GeorgeFloyd. This is just one small step. We cannot talk about change, we have to be about change,” Martinez tweeted.
He also announced a moratorium on adding people to the police department’s gang database:
Garcetti also declared a moratorium on putting people in the gang data base, requiring police officers to always report bad actors and increasing discipline against those officers who break the rules. “We need to move toward a guardian-based system,” said the mayor, “by developing long term relationships between our youth and police officers.” This comes after Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore on Monday compared looters to those officers involved in George Floyd’s death.
The people of Los Angeles deserve what they get for electing a moron to run their city. They should elect the LAPD Chief to run the city and kick Garcetti’s butt out.

Mark Levin writes brilliant op-ed on why Mattis criticism attacking Trump was “opportunistic and disgraceful”

Mark Levin wrote a brilliant Facebook op-ed today on why the criticism from Mattis yesterday , attacking Trump over his response to the riots and looting in the wake of George Floyd ’ s death , was “ opportunistic and disgraceful ” : Have you noticed ?
You can not and must not criticize Mattis , we are told , because of his past heroic service in the military .
Of course , fire away at Mike Flynn .
Anything goes , including the violation of his civil liberties and constitutional rights .
And I note that Mattis has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Obama administration on his former military colleague .
He wasn ’ t moved to issue a statement of any kind .
Or the use of the FBI , CIA , NSC , etc.
, to take out candidate Trump and then President Trump with lies about Russian collusion with the Trump campaign .
Not a word about criminalizing politics and a coup against Trump .
But when the nation is under assault , cities are being burned and looted , citizens are being brutalized and killed , our first responders are being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are seeking to overthrow the country , Mattis clings to a lie about events surrounding Lafayette Park to accuse the president of undermining the Constitution .
He even references the Nazis .
Absolutely disgraceful .
And Mattis is supposed to be some kind of intellectual and historian ?
Pathetic .
What Mattis did yesterday was opportunistic and disgraceful .
He resigned , or was fired , because he refused to support the legitimate policy-decisions of an elected president , the commander-in-chief .
He disagreed with Trump pulling out of the Iran deal .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ precious defense dollars on climate change initiatives in the military .
He resisted the replacement of Obama holdovers at the Pentagon .
He opposed the president ’ s decision to significantly reduce troop levels in Syria and Afghanistan .
And now , Mattis seeks to get even .
Of course , Mattis even cites Abraham Lincoln to justify his opportunism .
Well , let me educate the retired general .
I consider Lincoln to be the second greatest president in American history , after Washington , but what would Mattis have said were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he would have resigned or have been fired by Lincoln .
You see , Lincoln suspended habeas corpus , shut down nearly 300 newspapers , arrested journalists , arrested and deported a congressman from Ohio , etc .
General Sherman burned Atlanta to the ground , and burned everything in sight on the Union ’ s march through Georgia , including homes and businesses , and took all livestock , wheat , and corn for the Army .
In other words , Lincoln did whatever was necessary to win the Civil War .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ after firing several , who believed as he did , that whatever had to be done must be done to end the war — U.S. Grant .
President Trump has been extremely careful and prudential in his use of force , both overseas and at home .
He has yet to invoke the Insurrection Act , which has been used by 6 presidents in the last 100 years , including Bush 41 and Bush 43 .
Mattis ’ s statement , issued at a time of internal conflict and national strife , undermining @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Guard to quell the rioting in Democrat-controlled cities run by incompetent mayors , was disgusting .
The citizens of these cities and states are also citizens of the United States .
And the president clearly feels that he must protect them .
And , again , to use the bogus media reports about Lafayette Park as a pretext to accuse the president of abusing the military for political ends requires Mattis to ignore the U.S. Park Police ’ s official statement explaining exactly what happened that day , which contradicts his narrative and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dishonorable act intended to undermine the president ’ s ability to act .
Mattis intended to provide fodder for the president ’ s political and media enemies , and that ’ s exactly what he did .
In this , ex-general or not , he deserves our contempt .
Finally , President Trump had nothing to do with what is taking place in these cities .
In fact , he immediately directed the Justice Department to provide assistance to state and local law enforcement in investigating and prosecuting the killing of George Floyd @ @ @ @ @ @ @ criminal division , and all other elements of federal law enforcement acted with lightening speed to ensure that justice would be done .
The president has repeatedly spoken in conciliatory tones about the awful killing of Mr. Floyd .
The entire nation was and is united behind the prosecution of this ex-police officers .
But the Democrat leadership , the media , and the Left generally see this as another opportunity to viciously attack him and defeat him .
And Mattis knowingly and intentionally played right into this .
Trump ’ s policy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ problems far exceeds both Obama ’ s and Bush ’ s 16-year presidencies combined .
Both speak of systemic racism , trashing all Americans as irretrievably racist , whether they know it or not .
What an appalling smear of we , the people , and the greatest nation on earth .
What a detestable lie about the men and women , of all races and backgrounds , who work hard everyday and built this country into the world ’ s beacon of liberty .
And the two ex-presidents say little about the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the war on first responders , etc.
, as they are more concerned about the legacies and what the media will think of them .
Meanwhile , they failed the people and communities they now claim to speak for , as Bush paints and pontificates from his Waco ranch , and Obama enriches himself like no ex-president in American history .
If you want to hear more from Levin on this or listen to his show from last night , you can do so below .
His comments on Mattis come near the @ @ @ @ @

REVEALED: Ahmaud Arbery killer used racial epithet while Arbery was dying; Also more learned about moments before killing…

We are learning more tonight about the killing of Ahmaud Arbery by Travis McMichael and a racial epithet used by McMichael while Arbery was on the ground dying : The white Georgia man accused of killing an unarmed black man , Ahmaud Arbery , used a racial slur after the fatal shooting , according to another suspect ’ s account to an investigator .
The allegation was revealed as the prosecution presented its case at a preliminary hearing on Thursday morning for defendants Gregory McMichael , 64 , his son Travis McMichael , 34 , and their neighbor William “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ County Judge Wallace E. Harrell decided there was enough evidence to proceed .
The trio was arrested last month in the death of Arbery in February .
The McMichaels appeared in court via a video from jail .
Bryan was not present for Thursday ’ s hearing .
Special agent Richard Dial with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said during the hearing that Bryan said during a May 13 interview that he heard Travis McMichael say , “ f—ing n-word ” after Arbery had been shot .
The defense noted that Bryan had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not mentioned that Travis McMichael used a racial slur .
Dial went on to say that Travis McMichael had also previously used the n-word on social media in January , allegedly responding to an unspecified Instagram post that it would have been better if someone had “ blown the f—ing n-word ’ s head off .
”

We are learning more tonight about the killing of Ahmaud Arbery by Travis McMichael and a racial epithet used by McMichael while Arbery was on the ground dying:
Here’s more from NBC News:
The white Georgia man accused of killing an unarmed black man, Ahmaud Arbery, used a racial slur after the fatal shooting, according to another suspect’s account to an investigator. The allegation was revealed as the prosecution presented its case at a preliminary hearing on Thursday morning for defendants Gregory McMichael, 64, his son Travis McMichael, 34, and their neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan, 50. Glynn County Judge Wallace E. Harrell decided there was enough evidence to proceed. The trio was arrested last month in the death of Arbery in February. The McMichaels appeared in court via a video from jail. Bryan was not present for Thursday’s hearing. Special agent Richard Dial with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation said during the hearing that Bryan said during a May 13 interview that he heard Travis McMichael say, “f—ing n-word” after Arbery had been shot. The defense noted that Bryan had been interviewed before May 13 and had not mentioned that Travis McMichael used a racial slur. Dial went on to say that Travis McMichael had also previously used the n-word on social media in January, allegedly responding to an unspecified Instagram post that it would have been better if someone had “blown the f—ing n-word’s head off.”
What McMichael said was horrible. No question about it.
But what I found more newsworthy were the details of how the McMichaels, together with Bryan, trapped Arbery with vehicles before they killed him:
The McMichaels were taken into custody on May 7 and charged with felony murder and aggravated assault for their role in Arbery’s death after a video of the fatal shooting was released. Bryan was arrested two weeks later on charges of felony murder and attempted false imprisonment. Arbery, 25, was shot to death in the coastal city of Brunswick on Feb. 23 after he was pursued by the McMichaels. His family said he was out for a jog, while the McMichaels said they thought he was a burglary suspect. Video from Bryan’s home and from his cellphone was played in court and provided more details of the incident: Travis McMichael gets out of the truck and is holding a gun in a pointed position.
Arbery sees this, changes direction and runs around the opposite side of the vehicle.
Travis McMichael moves around to the front of the truck. When Arbery sees Travis McMichael again at the front of the truck he engages him.
A gunshot is heard, Arbery and Travis McMichael go off screen, and then there is a second shot proceeded by blood spraying into the camera frame.
After being shot, Arbery gets past Travis McMichael and starts to run again and then falls.
During all of this, Gregory McMichael is in the back of the truck. He calls 911 and then drops the phone when the confrontation begins and pulls out his gun. In court, Dial suggested there was evidence Arbery was also struck by Bryan’s pickup after he allegedly drove to the confrontation and blocked the victim as he ran. A prosecutor said in court Thursday that Arbery “was chased, hunted down and ultimately executed at the hands of these men. He was defenseless and he was unarmed.” Bryan is accused of using his vehicle to “attempt to confine and detain Ahmaud Arbery without legal authority” during the incident, according to a state criminal warrant. Investigators believe the “underlying felony” of false imprisonment by Bryan “helped cause the death of Ahmaud Arbery,” Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Vic Reynolds said at a news conference last month.
Assuming all of this is correct, it’s horrific and they deserve whatever they get.

I started something new today! 😳 https://t.co/ZfzGK5FhST — Lisa Page (@NatSecLisa) June 5, 2020
Yeah I mean, this isn’t such a big deal because she hates Trump and MSNBC is the hate-Trump cable news channel, so it only makes sense, right? And frankly, since she was involved in so many of the scandalous investigations at the FBI, she’ll be very knowledgable about them!!
Of course, Twitter went nuts:

Yeah I guess. I have to admit I’m not so much into the theories of their treachery against Trump. If there’s so much evidence then why hasn’t Barr nabbed them and tossed them into prison? It’s been more than three years! People keep promising it’s gonna happen, Obama and Hillary will be imprisoned very soon, and nothing happens.

Very clever.
Pretty obvious Lisa Page sucked half the married exec’s peacock at NBC/MSNBC to land a New National Security And Legal Analyst gig-just as she did in the FBI

No arrests, but it’s great fodder for Twitter insults.
If AG Barr can time the inevitable indictments of Lisa Page and John Brennan to leak during a Rachel Maddow panel w both of them–it would be the greatest troll of all time. — thebradfordfile™ (@thebradfordfile) June 5, 2020

Thankfully, when it comes to their actual personal safety and that of their families, most Americans are bright enough to know that they need to defend themselves and not depend on any government, federal, state or local…

DC Mayor tries to make statement against Trump using Black Lives Matter, but DC BLM group won’t play along…

DC ’ s leftist mayor tried to get one up on Trump by renaming an intersection near Lafayette Park “ Black Lives Matter Plaza ” , and having “ Black Lives Matter ” painted on the road , obviously making a statement about the phony narrative around Barr moving the people out of Lafayette Square on Monday : POLITICO – An intersection near the White House where federal law enforcement used chemical irritants and flash-bang grenades earlier this week to clear a peaceful demonstration against racial injustice has a new name : Black Lives Matter Plaza .
The designation from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comes after more than a week of protests over the death of George Floyd , a black Minneapolis man who was killed in the custody of police last week .
The protests have in some instances turned violent , including last weekend in the District of Columbia , where an alphabet soup of federal and local law enforcement and military forces were called in to quell bouts of unrest and restore order .
On Friday , in addition to unveiling “ Black Lives Matter Plaza , ” honoring the national movement aimed at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ black Americans , the District also teamed up with local artists to adorn a stretch of 16th Street NW in front of the White House in giant yellow lettering bearing the group ’ s name .
But the local DC chapter of Black Lives Matter completely rejected the move by the mayor : The D.C. chapter of the Black Lives Matter global network quickly rejected the plaza name and street painting as “ performative.
” The group accused D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser of attempting to distract from “ her active counter organizing to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ reduction of the city ’ s police budget and the reinvestment of those funds in other community priorities .
Politico notes why Bowser may have chosen to do this : I have no doubt this is true , as the radical left constantly claims Trump is some sort of despot or totalitarian , when it couldn ’ t be further from the truth .
But it ’ s also to ‘ enshrine ’ the false narrative against what really happened in Lafayette Square .

Politico notes why Bowser may have chosen to do this:
While it’s not abnormal for the city to adopt new ceremonial names for streets around the District, such treatment is typically reserved for jabs at despotic foreign governments.
I have no doubt this is true, as the radical left constantly claims Trump is some sort of despot or totalitarian, when it couldn’t be further from the truth. But it’s also to ‘enshrine’ the false narrative against what really happened in Lafayette Square.
These people are despicable.

A bunch of members of the media are running with a straight out lie about comments @ @ @ @ @ the entire video .
There ’ s absolutely nothing wrong with what Trump said , @ @ @ @ @ context that is appropriate to his comment about George Floyd .
But the media is @ @ @ @ @ Pathetic .
I guess they had do something BIG to attack Trump on a day @ @ @ @ @ news about job growth after covid obliterated the economy…

This is crazy. A bunch of members of the media are running with a straight out lie about comments Trump made today.
Trump is bad enough on his own, but it's unbelievable how dishonest members of the press are on this site. I had my DM's being filled with people outraged at Trump for saying George Floyd would be cheering on the jobs numbers. I was about to attack him. Then saw the full video. — (((AG))) (@AGHamilton29) June 5, 2020
Trump was talking about the need for "equal justice under the law" and how "we can't let that happen" referring to injustice. That was the context of his George Floyd comments that countless people intentionally cut out on this site.https://t.co/M2FkGKSnPR — (((AG))) (@AGHamilton29) June 5, 2020
Trump was literally saying that Floyd would be happy that we are moving towards fixing injustices, and a bunch of people intentionally cut out the part beforehand AND after to suggest he was talking about the jobs report. How does anyone justify that type of dishonesty? — (((AG))) (@AGHamilton29) June 5, 2020
Watch the entire video. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with what Trump said, and it is in the context that is appropriate to his comment about George Floyd. But the media is completely lying about it:
Almost every reporter on this site misled there readers/followers. I mean @GabbyOrr_ simply made a claim that clearly wasn't true from the vide. How is that acceptable? pic.twitter.com/DIefdh277u — (((AG))) (@AGHamilton29) June 5, 2020
Look at this, over 5K RT’s where this CBS correspondent intentionally cut out the part beforehand and after to deceive people about the context. This should at least be worthy of a suspension at a news organization with any standards. https://t.co/dC3YQldK05 https://t.co/O6yq97ze9F — (((AG))) (@AGHamilton29) June 5, 2020
Appears @kaitlancollins also decided to dishonestly mislead her audience into thinking that comment was about job numbers. Unfortunately, @jaketapper chose to spread that false claim. pic.twitter.com/H7vLOZJ6EF — (((AG))) (@AGHamilton29) June 5, 2020
