therightscoop--2020-05-19--Sec. Pompeo explains why State Dept IG was fired, says he had no idea he was being investigated…

Mike Pompeo explained to reporters today why he recommended the firing of State Department IG Steve Linick , but also said he had no idea Linick was investigating him when he recommended that Trump fire him : DC EXAMINER – Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he didn ’ t know Inspector General Steve Linick was investigating him and that the watchdog was ousted because he was “ undermining ” the State Department .
Pompeo told the Washington Post on Monday that Linick ’ s termination didn ’ t have to do with politics but was because he was not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pompeo ’ s explanation , Democratic lawmakers launched an investigation into the firing over concerns that it came in retaliation for Linick looking into the secretary ’ s use of a political aide in addition to an arms sale to Saudi Arabia .
“ I went to the president and made clear to him that Inspector General Linick wasn ’ t performing a function in a way that we had tried to get him to , that was additive for the State Department , very consistent with what the statute says he ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pompeo said .
“ The kinds of activities he ’ s supposed to undertake to make us better , to improve us.
” “ I actually know how that works , ” he added .
“ I had an IG at the CIA , not the IG that I had chosen but an IG that was there before me .
He did fantastic work .
He made us better .
Linick wasn ’ t that.
” Pompeo says he doesn ’ t see IG investigations until they are final , so there ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the IG was investigating him… Despite the remarks , Pompeo declined to cite specific concerns that he had about Linick .
He also said he didn ’ t know he was being investigated by the watchdog when he made the recommendation to fire him , adding that he was aware of only one case related to a matter of national security .
“ It is not possible that this decision , or my recommendation , rather , to the president , rather , was based on any effort to retaliate for any investigation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going on , ” Pompeo said .
“ Because I simply don ’ t know .
I ’ m not briefed on it .
I usually see these investigations in final draft form 24 hours , 48 hours before the IG is prepared to release them .
“ So , it ’ s simply not possible for this to be an act of retaliation .
End of story , ” he added .
I think it ’ s very possible Pompeo didn ’ t know he was being investigated .
Beyond his explanation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not enough information at this point to say one way or the other whether Pompeo isn ’ t telling the truth .
As far as the firing itself , Trump obviously has the authority to fire IGs since they are political appointments .
But he needs to have good reason for doing so , and it sounds like from what Pompeo said that they did have good reason .
But who cares about the truth ?
Neither the media nor the Democrats care about it , and they will use this firing in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump and/or Pompeo .
The Democrats will try and make enough hay to get Pompeo ousted and the media will carry their water the whole way .
The truth , whatever it may be , will not even be a consideration in this continuing war on Trump .
They will elevate Linick just like they have Dick Bright , and they ’ re probably already making plans to get him on 60 Minutes next week .

Mike Pompeo explained to reporters today why he recommended the firing of State Department IG Steve Linick, but also said he had no idea Linick was investigating him when he recommended that Trump fire him:
DC EXAMINER – Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he didn’t know Inspector General Steve Linick was investigating him and that the watchdog was ousted because he was “undermining” the State Department. Pompeo told the Washington Post on Monday that Linick’s termination didn’t have to do with politics but was because he was not performing his job correctly. Days before Pompeo’s explanation, Democratic lawmakers launched an investigation into the firing over concerns that it came in retaliation for Linick looking into the secretary’s use of a political aide in addition to an arms sale to Saudi Arabia. “I went to the president and made clear to him that Inspector General Linick wasn’t performing a function in a way that we had tried to get him to, that was additive for the State Department, very consistent with what the statute says he’s supposed to be doing,” Pompeo said. “The kinds of activities he’s supposed to undertake to make us better, to improve us.” “I actually know how that works,” he added. “I had an IG at the CIA, not the IG that I had chosen but an IG that was there before me. He did fantastic work. He made us better. Linick wasn’t that.”
Pompeo says he doesn’t see IG investigations until they are final, so there’s no way he could have known the IG was investigating him…
Despite the remarks, Pompeo declined to cite specific concerns that he had about Linick. He also said he didn’t know he was being investigated by the watchdog when he made the recommendation to fire him, adding that he was aware of only one case related to a matter of national security. “It is not possible that this decision, or my recommendation, rather, to the president, rather, was based on any effort to retaliate for any investigation that was going on or is currently going on,” Pompeo said. “Because I simply don’t know. I’m not briefed on it. I usually see these investigations in final draft form 24 hours, 48 hours before the IG is prepared to release them. “So, it’s simply not possible for this to be an act of retaliation. End of story,” he added.
I think it’s very possible Pompeo didn’t know he was being investigated. Beyond his explanation, however, there’s just not enough information at this point to say one way or the other whether Pompeo isn’t telling the truth.
As far as the firing itself, Trump obviously has the authority to fire IGs since they are political appointments. But he needs to have good reason for doing so, and it sounds like from what Pompeo said that they did have good reason.
But who cares about the truth? Neither the media nor the Democrats care about it, and they will use this firing in the most negative way possible to hurt Trump and/or Pompeo. The Democrats will try and make enough hay to get Pompeo ousted and the media will carry their water the whole way. The truth, whatever it may be, will not even be a consideration in this continuing war on Trump. They will elevate Linick just like they have Dick Bright, and they’re probably already making plans to get him on 60 Minutes next week.

Science isn't a "belief." Leftists just say these platitudes and act like it makes them smart. Biden is a dummy and now he has dementia, too. How's that for some #science? https://t.co/s2dHxZ7Fqh — Melissa Mackenzie 🌐 (@MelissaTweets) May 19, 2020
And lastly, this tweet just made me LOL so I’m including it…

therightscoop--2020-05-19--Audio released of Biden’s quid pro quo with Ukrainian President and it’s not good for Biden…

Audio had been released today by the Interfax News Agency of former VP Joe biden congratulating former Ukrainian President Poroshenko on installing a new prosecutor and saying that he ’ s ready to go ahead with his deal to give Ukraine a guaranteed loan .
I found a better version of Biden and Poroshenko ’ s call than the interfax version , so listen below .
It ’ s very interesting… The first thing of note in the video is that Biden congratulates Poroshenko on installing the new prosecutor general , noting that he ’ ll have to ‘ work @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ .
Biden then says “ And I ’ m a man of my word .
And now that the new Prosecutor General is in place , we ’ re ready to move forward to signing that one billion dollar loan guarantee.
” Quid Pro Quo anyone ?
Poroshenko then responds telling Biden that it was a tough challenge and a “ very difficult job ” , noting that a faction of Ukrainian politicians tried to stop the vote on the new prosecutor general .
Poroshenko notes that they changed this law in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ So not only did Biden coerce Poroshenko into installing a new prosecutor general by threatening to withhold US aid , it involved changing their law and Biden apparently had a say in the change .
Later in the conversation Poroshenko noted that he appointed the prosecutor general that he and Biden agreed it would be : The second thing is I want to thank you that you give me your word that immediately when we change the legislation and I appoint the new Prosecutor General , and it would be Yuri Lutsenko as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Washington and when it happen , we can have this loan guarantee and thank you very much .
Biden doesn ’ t just get a new prosecutor general appointed , he had a say in who it would be !
Wow .
And the backdrop to all of this is that Biden ’ s son was making millions off of one of the most corrupt businesses in Ukraine , Burisma , and his father is using the weight of his office as vice president to not only get the prosecutor general fired who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the new prosecutor general that he wanted AND to get the legislative changes he wanted to the Ukrainian law that governs the prosecutor general .
Unbelievable .

The first thing of note in the video is that Biden congratulates Poroshenko on installing the new prosecutor general, noting that he’ll have to ‘work quickly to repair the damage Shokin did’.
Biden then says “And I’m a man of my word. And now that the new Prosecutor General is in place, we’re ready to move forward to signing that one billion dollar loan guarantee.” Quid Pro Quo anyone?
Poroshenko then responds telling Biden that it was a tough challenge and a “very difficult job”, noting that a faction of Ukrainian politicians tried to stop the vote on the new prosecutor general. Poroshenko notes that they changed this law in just one day and then says:
By the way, in this law we are presenting the set, the new structure of the General Prosecutor’s office, including the General Inspection as we agreed with you.
So not only did Biden coerce Poroshenko into installing a new prosecutor general by threatening to withhold US aid, it involved changing their law and Biden apparently had a say in the change.
Later in the conversation Poroshenko noted that he appointed the prosecutor general that he and Biden agreed it would be:
The second thing is I want to thank you that you give me your word that immediately when we change the legislation and I appoint the new Prosecutor General, and it would be Yuri Lutsenko as we agreed on our previous meeting in Washington and when it happen, we can have this loan guarantee and thank you very much.
Biden doesn’t just get a new prosecutor general appointed, he had a say in who it would be!
Wow. And the backdrop to all of this is that Biden’s son was making millions off of one of the most corrupt businesses in Ukraine, Burisma, and his father is using the weight of his office as vice president to not only get the prosecutor general fired who was investigating Burisma, but to get the new prosecutor general that he wanted AND to get the legislative changes he wanted to the Ukrainian law that governs the prosecutor general. Unbelievable.

therightscoop--2020-05-19--BREAKING: Flynn’s lawyers file emergency petition to have Judge Emmet Sullivan’s ruling overturned a

BREAKING: Flynn’s lawyers file emergency petition to have Judge Emmet Sullivan’s ruling overturned and case dismissed!

Mike Flynn ’ s lawyers have just filed an emergency petition to the US Court of Appeals to overturn Judge Emmet Sullivan ’ s ruling to continue Flynn ’ s case despite the DOJ ’ s filing to dismiss the case : DC EXAMINER – The lawyers for retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn asked an appeals court on Tuesday to intervene against the lower court judge who delayed the Justice Department ’ s effort to dismiss its criminal case against the former Trump national security adviser .
Sidney Powell , a former federal prosecutor who took over representation for Flynn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ petition for a writ of mandamus and a 93-page appendix , asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to overturn Judge Emmet Sullivan ’ s efforts to halt the DOJ motion to dismiss and remove the judge from the case entirely .
“ This petition seeks an order directing the district court to grant the Justice Department ’ s Motion to Dismiss its criminal case against former National Security Advisor to President Trump , Lieutenant General Michael T. Flynn ( Ret . )
, ” Flynn ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to dismiss the Information charging a violation of 18 U.S.C .
§1001 after an internal review by United States Attorney Jeffrey Jensen unearthed stunning evidence of government misconduct and General Flynn ’ s innocence.
” “ Petitioner respectfully requests that this Court order the district court immediately to ( 1 ) grant the Justice Department ’ s Motion to Dismiss ; ( 2 ) vacate its order appointing amicus curiae ; and ( 3 ) reassign the case to another district judge as to any further proceedings , ” the filing read .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ filing this motion and I very much hope the DC Circuit of Appeals doesn ’ t allow this phony case to go along any further .
As McConnell pointed out today in his remarks , it ’ s the executive branch that decides whether or not to prosecute a case , not the judiciary .
And it ’ s clear to anyone watching that this case should have been dropped the moment the DOJ filed for a dismissal .
It ’ s worth noting that , according to Matt Ford on Twitter , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ motion like this since 1962 .
He says it could end up that this ‘ writ of mandamus ’ goes all the way to the Supreme Court .
Perhaps that ’ s what Sullivan really wants so he ’ s not the judge that dismisses the Flynn case .

Mike Flynn’s lawyers have just filed an emergency petition to the US Court of Appeals to overturn Judge Emmet Sullivan’s ruling to continue Flynn’s case despite the DOJ’s filing to dismiss the case:
DC EXAMINER – The lawyers for retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn asked an appeals court on Tuesday to intervene against the lower court judge who delayed the Justice Department’s effort to dismiss its criminal case against the former Trump national security adviser. Sidney Powell, a former federal prosecutor who took over representation for Flynn last summer, filed a 44-page emergency petition for a writ of mandamus and a 93-page appendix, asking the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to overturn Judge Emmet Sullivan’s efforts to halt the DOJ motion to dismiss and remove the judge from the case entirely. “This petition seeks an order directing the district court to grant the Justice Department’s Motion to Dismiss its criminal case against former National Security Advisor to President Trump, Lieutenant General Michael T. Flynn (Ret.),” Flynn’s lawyers said. “The Government moved to dismiss the Information charging a violation of 18 U.S.C. §1001 after an internal review by United States Attorney Jeffrey Jensen unearthed stunning evidence of government misconduct and General Flynn’s innocence.” “Petitioner respectfully requests that this Court order the district court immediately to (1) grant the Justice Department’s Motion to Dismiss; (2) vacate its order appointing amicus curiae; and (3) reassign the case to another district judge as to any further proceedings,” the filing read.
I’m glad to see Powell filing this motion and I very much hope the DC Circuit of Appeals doesn’t allow this phony case to go along any further.

It’s worth noting that, according to Matt Ford on Twitter, the courts haven’t granted a motion like this since 1962. He says it could end up that this ‘writ of mandamus’ goes all the way to the Supreme Court. Perhaps that’s what Sullivan really wants so he’s not the judge that dismisses the Flynn case.


therightscoop--2020-05-19--[UPDATE: EMAIL RELEASED] – DNI Grenelll just declassified FULL Susan Rice email from January 20, 201

[UPDATE: EMAIL RELEASED] – DNI Grenelll just declassified FULL Susan Rice email from January 20, 2017

It ’ s being reported by Kimberly Strassel that DNI Richard Grenell has just declassified the full email Susan Rice wrote to herself back on January 20 , 2017 regarding the meeting she had with Obama , Comey , Biden and Sally Yates regarding the targeting of Michael Flynn : This is big and I do hope it gets released soon .
For the record we already have parts of the email from previous reporting , which I ’ ll post below from a Judiciary Committee letter from 2018 .
The portions of the letter are in a special font @ @ @ @ @ @ @ following a briefing by IC leadership on Russian hacking during the 2016 Presidential election , President Obama had a brief follow-on conversation with FBI Director Jim Corney and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates in the Oval Office .
Vice President Biden and I were also present .
“ That meeting reportedly included a discussion of the Steele dossier and the FBI ’ s investigation of its claims .
Your email continued : ” President Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` by the book '' .
The President stressed that he is not asking about , initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective .
He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book .
From a national security perspective , however , President Obama said he wants to be sure that , as we engage with the incoming team , we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we can not share information fully as it relates to Russia .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ remains classified .
After that , you wrote : ” The President asked Corney to inform him if anything changes in the next few weeks that should affect how we share classified information with the incoming team .
Corney said he would .
It will be interesting to see what the classified portion was that had been redacted .
We ’ ll bring it to you as soon as we get it .
I doubt it will be all that long… UPDATE : Fox News has apparently seen the letter and reports below @ @ @ @ @ @ @ telling Obama that they shouldn ’ t share sensitive information with Flynn for fear that he ’ ll pass it on to the Russians : Former FBI Director James Comey suggested to then-President Barack Obama in a January 2017 meeting that the National Security Council might not want to pass “ sensitive information related to Russia ” to then-incoming national security adviser Michael Flynn , according to a newly declassified email that Flynn ’ s predecessor sent herself on Inauguration Day .
The note from Susan Rice was declassified by Acting Director of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Justice Department .
Fox News obtained a copy Tuesday from GOP Sen. Ron Johnson ’ s office , which had sought access to the document .
The Jan. 20 , 2017 email Rice sent to herself documented a Jan. 5 , 2017 Oval Office meeting with Obama and others , where he provided guidance on how law enforcement should investigate Russian interference in the 2016 presidential race .
Parts of it were previously released , but the section on Comey ’ s response had been classified as “ TOP SECRET ” until @ @ @ @ @ @ @ affirmed to Obama he was proceeding “ by the book.
” Rice continued : “ From a national security perspective , Comey said he does have some concerns that incoming NSA Flynn is speaking frequently with Russian Ambassador Kislyak .
Comey said that could be an issue as it relates to sharing sensitive information .
President Obama asked if Comey was saying that the NSC should not pass sensitive information related to Russia to Flynn.
” Rice then wrote , “ Comey replied ‘ potentially.
’ He added that he has no indication @ @ @ @ @ @ @ information to Kislyak , but he noted that ‘ the level of communication is unusual . '
” So essentially Comey is saying Mike Flynn may be a traitor , even though he had no evidence that Flynn had passed any info on to the Russians .
And then he ’ s using that as a basis to tell Obama not to share any sensitive info with Flynn .
Good grief .
UPDATE II : Below is the PDF of the letter released by Fox News :

This is big and I do hope it gets released soon.
For the record we already have parts of the email from previous reporting, which I’ll post below from a Judiciary Committee letter from 2018. The portions of the letter are in a special font and italics:
On January 5, following a briefing by IC leadership on Russian hacking during the 2016 Presidential election, President Obama had a brief follow-on conversation with FBI Director Jim Corney and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates in the Oval Office. Vice President Biden and I were also present. “That meeting reportedly included a discussion of the Steele dossier and the FBI’ s investigation of its claims.

The President stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book. From a national security perspective, however, President Obama said he wants to be sure that, as we engage with the incoming team, we are mindful to ascertain if there is any reason that we cannot share information fully as it relates to Russia. “The next part of your email remains classified.

UPDATE: Fox News has apparently seen the letter and reports below that the formerly redacted section shows Comey telling Obama that they shouldn’t share sensitive information with Flynn for fear that he’ll pass it on to the Russians:
Former FBI Director James Comey suggested to then-President Barack Obama in a January 2017 meeting that the National Security Council might not want to pass “sensitive information related to Russia” to then-incoming national security adviser Michael Flynn, according to a newly declassified email that Flynn’s predecessor sent herself on Inauguration Day.

Parts of it were previously released, but the section on Comey’s response had been classified as “TOP SECRET” until now. The section says that Comey affirmed to Obama he was proceeding “by the book.” Rice continued: “From a national security perspective, Comey said he does have some concerns that incoming NSA Flynn is speaking frequently with Russian Ambassador Kislyak. Comey said that could be an issue as it relates to sharing sensitive information. President Obama asked if Comey was saying that the NSC should not pass sensitive information related to Russia to Flynn.” Rice then wrote, “Comey replied ‘potentially.’ He added that he has no indication thus far that Flynn has passed classified information to Kislyak, but he noted that ‘the level of communication is unusual.'”
So essentially Comey is saying Mike Flynn may be a traitor, even though he had no evidence that Flynn had passed any info on to the Russians. And then he’s using that as a basis to tell Obama not to share any sensitive info with Flynn. Good grief.

It clearly worked on Kelly, despite him being a type-2 diabetic, which is likely why he’s here right now with us. Kelly did note that he never manifested any respiratory symptoms, but who knows if that would have come later had he not taken the drug.
Behar is just a Trump-hating fool. The ironic thing is it’s not only Trump who has said this drug works. Governor Cuomo has also said it as well, as we’ve pointed out here, which is why he was asking for loads of it from the federal government.

Nancy Pelosi took a potshot at Trump last night, using the news of him taking hydroxychloroquine to call him ‘morbidly obese’ on CNN:
Nancy Pelosi called President Trump morbidly obese on CNN. Democrats and CNN love it. Imagine if Trump called Stacey Abrams morbidly obese. They’d all call him a racist fat shaming jerk. All we’d hear about for a month is body positivity. Total hypocrites. pic.twitter.com/7TmVeZxazL — Robby Starbuck (@robbystarbuck) May 19, 2020
As Robby Starbuck points out in the tweet, there’s a huge double standard in how CNN just let’s Pelosi get away with saying these things when we all know the reverse would not be true of Trump.
Also, it’s not really true either. Sure, Trump is a little overweight like most of America. But he’s not morbidly obese by any stretch. According to his weight last year he was 243 pounds, which makes him ‘technically obese’. But at his height of 6 foot 3, he’d have to be a lot larger to be considered morbidly obese.
Ben Shapiro noted this morning that there’s an upside to Pelosi’s attack on Trump:
Nobody is happier than Trump today that Pelosi called him "morbidly obese." Now he can just riff freely on her overuse of botox without fear of blowback. — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) May 19, 2020

A federal judge just ruled that all Texas voters must be allowed to vote absentee because of the coronavirus:
FOX SAN ANTONIO – A federal judge on Tuesday opened a path for a massive expansion in absentee voting in Texas by ordering that all state voters regardless of age qualify for a mail-in ballot during the coronavirus pandemic. Days after a two-hour preliminary injunction hearing in San Antonio, U.S. District Judge Fred Biery agreed with individual Texas voters and the Texas Democratic Party that voters would face irreparable harm if existing age eligibility rules for voting by mail remain in place for elections held while the coronavirus remains in wide circulation. Under his order, which will surely be appealed, voters under the age of 65 who would ordinarily not qualify for a mail-in ballot would now be eligible. Biery’s order covers Texas voters “who seek to vote by mail to avoid transmission of the virus.” In a lengthy order, opened by quoting the preamble to the Declaration of Independence, Biery said he had concerns for the health and safety of voters and stated the right to vote “should not be elusively based on the whims of nature.” “Two hundred forty-years on, Americans now seek Life without fear of pandemic, Liberty to choose their leaders in an environment free of disease and the pursuit of Happiness without undue restrictions,” Biery wrote. In the federal lawsuit, the Texas Democrats argued that holding traditional elections under the circumstances brought on by the coronavirus pandemic would impose unconstitutional and illegal burdens on voters unless state law was clarified to expand who can qualify to vote by mail.
Talk about a liberal wet dream. If they can’t turn the state of Texas blue the normal way, they’ll do it by hook and crook under the auspices of protecting voters from the coronavirus. And this federal judge, who was appointed by Monica Lewinsky’s infamous ex-boyfriend, gave them exactly what they wanted.
It’s really dumb when you think about it. If you can go to Home Depot or the grocery store, then you can stand six feet behind someone in line wearing a face mask and wait your turn to vote. It’s really that simple.
As the article notes, you can believe this will be appealed to a higher court. Let’s hope that we don’t end up with an absentee ballot fiasco come November because Democrats will try and beat Trump any way they can, no matter how illegal. That’s how much they hate him.

That’s not what this is. DeSantis is slapping down the media with rational arguments, and he’s RIGHT.
It’s been absolutely insane how the media has tried to bury Florida and their coronavirus response just because they’re upset a Trumplican won the governorship there, and how they just slobber all over Cuomo in New York. And I am very glad to see DeSantis righteously excoriate them down for it.

therightscoop--2020-05-20--IT BEGINS: Senate panel authorizes subpoena in Hunter Biden Burisma probe

Senator Ron Johnson ’ s Homeland Security Committee has just authorized a subpoena , in their investigation of Hunter Biden and his relationship to Burisma , of a Democratic firm that did consulting work for Burisma : POLITICO – A Senate committee voted on Wednesday to authorize a subpoena as part of a Republican-led investigation targeting former Vice President Joe Biden ’ s son Hunter .
The party-line vote in the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee came amid vigorous objections from Democrats , who have accused their GOP counterparts of aiding Russian disinformation efforts and improperly using the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Donald Trump ’ s political fortunes .
Wednesday ’ s vote authorizes the committee ’ s chairman , Sen. Ron Johnson ( R-Wis. ) , to subpoena Blue Star Strategies , a Democratic public-relations firm that did consulting work for Burisma , a Ukrainian energy company whose board Hunter Biden sat on .
Johnson ’ s probe focuses on allegations that Blue Star Strategies sought to leverage Biden ’ s position on the board in order to influence matters at the Obama-era State Department .
“ If there ’ s nothing there , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s nothing there… ” “ The question I would ask is , what is everybody worried about ?
” Johnson said .
“ If there ’ s nothing there , we ’ ll find out there ’ s nothing there .
But if there ’ s something there , the American people need to know that.
” The subpoena seeks documents from the firm in addition to a deposition for its CEO , Karen Tramontano .
Tramontano sent a letter to Johnson Wednesday morning asserting that the firm had expressed a “ willingness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have we ever stated or indicated in any way that we would not cooperate , ” Tramontano said , adding that she was “ puzzled ” at the committee ’ s decision to proceed with the vote .
A spokesman for Johnson rebutted those claims , saying the firm “ delayed our efforts for more than five months , and even refused to let our staff speak to their attorney until last week.
” The spokesman added that Blue Star Strategies only signaled a willingness to cooperate after the panel announced the subpoena @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out of the gate Politico characterizes this investigation as Republicans “ targeting ” Hunter Biden .
Not investigating him , ‘ targeting ’ him .
If Democrats on the committee or elsewhere are upset by this probe , they only have Joe Biden and his big mouth to blame .
I ’ m not sure any of this would have come to light if it weren ’ t for him boasting how he he used US aid money to force Ukraine to fire the prosecutor general .
What ’ s so predictable is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the media don ’ t really care about Joe Biden getting a prosecutor general fired who was investigating his son ’ s corrupt company .
However they are outraged that Pompeo would ask Trump to fire an IG for wrongdoing , accusing Pompeo of retaliation over an investigation he likely knew nothing about .
Complete double standard once again on another day that ends in ‘ y ’ .

Senator Ron Johnson’s Homeland Security Committee has just authorized a subpoena, in their investigation of Hunter Biden and his relationship to Burisma, of a Democratic firm that did consulting work for Burisma:
POLITICO – A Senate committee voted on Wednesday to authorize a subpoena as part of a Republican-led investigation targeting former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter. The party-line vote in the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee came amid vigorous objections from Democrats, who have accused their GOP counterparts of aiding Russian disinformation efforts and improperly using the Senate’s resources to boost President Donald Trump’s political fortunes. Wednesday’s vote authorizes the committee’s chairman, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), to subpoena Blue Star Strategies, a Democratic public-relations firm that did consulting work for Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company whose board Hunter Biden sat on. Johnson’s probe focuses on allegations that Blue Star Strategies sought to leverage Biden’s position on the board in order to influence matters at the Obama-era State Department.
“If there’s nothing there, we’ll find out there’s nothing there…”
“The question I would ask is, what is everybody worried about?” Johnson said. “If there’s nothing there, we’ll find out there’s nothing there. But if there’s something there, the American people need to know that.” The subpoena seeks documents from the firm in addition to a deposition for its CEO, Karen Tramontano. Tramontano sent a letter to Johnson Wednesday morning asserting that the firm had expressed a “willingness to cooperate.” “At no time have we ever stated or indicated in any way that we would not cooperate,” Tramontano said, adding that she was “puzzled” at the committee’s decision to proceed with the vote. A spokesman for Johnson rebutted those claims, saying the firm “delayed our efforts for more than five months, and even refused to let our staff speak to their attorney until last week.” The spokesman added that Blue Star Strategies only signaled a willingness to cooperate after the panel announced the subpoena vote last week.
Notice that right out of the gate Politico characterizes this investigation as Republicans “targeting” Hunter Biden. Not investigating him, ‘targeting’ him.
If Democrats on the committee or elsewhere are upset by this probe, they only have Joe Biden and his big mouth to blame. I’m not sure any of this would have come to light if it weren’t for him boasting how he he used US aid money to force Ukraine to fire the prosecutor general.
What’s so predictable is that despite how this looks, Democrats and the media don’t really care about Joe Biden getting a prosecutor general fired who was investigating his son’s corrupt company. However they are outraged that Pompeo would ask Trump to fire an IG for wrongdoing, accusing Pompeo of retaliation over an investigation he likely knew nothing about. Complete double standard once again on another day that ends in ‘y’.

Yesterday we posted on a tweet from Ted Cruz that put into perspective just how unprecedented it was for the Obama admin to spy on Trump’s campaign and transition team:
Wow. Ongoing spying from an outgoing POTUS on the incoming POTUS—directed by Obama himself—is unprecedented in the 243 years of our nation’s history. https://t.co/kgYE1sDHFv — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) May 19, 2020
Well since then Trump retweeted it, saying “So True. OBAMAGATE!”, and all the libs are losing their mind over it now:
This is a fucking lie. Just more birther bullshit from racist trash. And remember, Ted, it wasn’t President Obama who told the whole world your wife is ugly, you pathetic kiss ass. https://t.co/YngLWw9PAI — Adam Parkhomenko (@AdamParkhomenko) May 20, 2020

Trump called Ted Cruz's wife ugly, Trump said Ted Cruz's father assassinated JFK and Trump nicknamed Ted Cruz himself Lying Ted.

Obama bros are all simultaneously attacking this tweet, using near identical language (Lockhart manages to avoid expletives.). It’s curious, running screaming away from the crime scene doesn’t typically convey calm or innocence. https://t.co/f18o4MGi6A — Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) May 20, 2020

CBN NEWS – The Department of Justice is warning California Governor Gavin Newsom that his plan to gradually reopen the state discriminates against churches.
In a letter to the governor, the head of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division wrote that some in-person worship services should be allowed.
Eric S. Dreiband pointed out that – unlike churches – restaurants, malls, and other locations are being allowed to reopen gradually. This puts an “unfair burden” on churches and discriminates against religious freedom through “unequal treatment of faith communities,” the letter reads.
