President Trump fired Geoffrey Berman Saturday after the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York refused a request by Attorney General William Barr to resign Friday night .
Barr had offered Berman higher positions within the Justice Department but Berman declined and instead went public claiming he could not be removed from office until replaced by a Senate confirmed presidential nominee due to his appointment to the position by a federal court .
Barr wrote a letter to Berman Saturday informing him of his termination by Trump and refuted Berman ’ s claims .
I was surprised and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ released last night .
As we discussed , I wanted the opportunity to choose a distinguished New York lawyer , Jay Clayton , to nominate as United States Attorney and was hoping for your cooperation to facilitate a smooth transition .
When the Department of Justice advised the public of the President ’ s intent to nominate your successor , I had understood that we were in ongoing discussions concerning the possibility of your remaining in the Department or Administration in one of the other senior positions we discussed , including Assistant Attorney @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the Securities and Exchange Commission .
While we advised the public that you would leave the U.S. Attorney ’ s office in two weeks , I still hoped that your departure could be amicable .

Barr wrote a letter to Berman Saturday informing him of his termination by Trump and refuted Berman’s claims.
I was surprised and quite disappointed by the press statement you released last night. As we discussed, I wanted the opportunity to choose a distinguished New York lawyer, Jay Clayton, to nominate as United States Attorney and was hoping for your cooperation to facilitate a smooth transition. When the Department of Justice advised the public of the President’s intent to nominate your successor, I had understood that we were in ongoing discussions concerning the possibility of your remaining in the Department or Administration in one of the other senior positions we discussed, including Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division and Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission. While we advised the public that you would leave the U.S. Attorney’s office in two weeks, I still hoped that your departure could be amicable. Unfortunately, with your statement of last night, you have chosen public spectacle over public service. Because you have declared that you have no intention of resigning, I have asked the President to remove you as of today, and he has done so. By operation of law, the Deputy United States Attorney, Audrey Strauss, will become the Acting United States Attorney, and I anticipate that she will serve in that capacity until a permanent successor is in place. See 28 U.S.C. 541(c). To the extent that your statement reflects a misunderstanding concerning how you may be displaced, it is well-established that a court-appointed U.S. Attorney is subject to removal by the President. See United States v. Solomon, 216 F. Supp. 835, 843 (S.D.N.Y. 1963) (recognizing that the “President may, at any time, remove the judicially appointed United States Attorney”); see also United States v. Hilario, 218 F.3d 19, 27 (1st Cir. 2000) (same). Indeed, the court’s appointment power has been upheld only because the Executive retains the authority to supervise and remove the officer.

The Inspector General’s monitoring of the situation will provide additional confidence that all cases will continue to be decided on the law and the facts.
Barr’s statement Friday night released by the DOJ that set off the chain of events:
“I am pleased to announce that President Trump intends to nominate Jay Clayton, currently the Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to serve as the next United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. For the past three years, Jay has been an extraordinarily successful SEC Chairman, overseeing efforts to modernize regulation of the capital markets, protect Main Street investors, enhance American competitiveness, and address challenges ranging from cybersecurity issues to the COVID-19 pandemic. His management experience and expertise in financial regulation give him an ideal background to lead the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, and he will be a worthy successor to the many historic figures who have held that post. On behalf of the President, I thank Jay for accepting this nomination, and I look forward to working with him soon. On my recommendation, the President has appointed Craig Carpenito, currently the United States Attorney for the District of New Jersey, to serve as the Acting United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, while the Senate is considering Jay Clayton’s nomination. This appointment will be effective July 3, and Craig will work closely with the outgoing United States Attorney to ensure a smooth transition.

John Bolton
US District Judge Royce Lamberth on Saturday morning denied the Trump Administration’s effort to block the release of Bolton’s book titled, “The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir.”
The White House sought an injunction to block the release of the book saying the book is filled with classified information.
An excerpt from John Bolton’s book was released to the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday and Lamberth cited this reason in his 10-page opinion as to why he won’t block the release of the memoir.
Lamberth argued the book had already been distributed to reporters and could then be disseminated online.
“For reasons that hardly need to be stated, the Court will not order a nationwide seizure and destruction of a political memoir,” Lamberth wrote.
Judge Lamberth blasted Bolton and said the fired National Security Advisor could still be exposed to criminal liability and stands to lose profits from his book.
“He opted out of the review process before its conclusion. Unilateral fast-tracking carried the benefit of publicity and sales, and the cost of substantial risk exposure. This was Bolton’s bet: If he is right and the book does not contain classified information, he keeps the upside mentioned above; but if he is wrong, he stands to lose his profits from the book deal, exposes himself to criminal liability, and imperils national security,” Lamberth wrote. “Bolton was wrong.”
The White House on Saturday said it has plans to ensure Bolton receives “no profits” from his memoir after judge Lamberth denied the injunction.
“The Government intends to hold Bolton to the further requirements of his agreements and to ensure that he receives no profits from his shameful decision to place his desire for money and attention ahead of his obligations to protect national security,” the White House Press Secretary said in a statement.
Federal prosecutors are mulling criminal charges against Bolton for disclosing classified information in his new book.

Excerpt from Just the News report on the video:
…In a video interview from 2015, one of the group’s founders admitted that she and her fellow co-founder are dedicated to the ideology of Communist figurehead Karl Marx. (TGP note: Marx was no figurehead, he was the ideological founder of communism and author of The Communist Manifesto.) Patrisse Cullors, who founded the group with Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi in 2013, was interviewed by Morgan State University Professor Jared Ball in 2015 regarding the movement she helped to create. Ball in that interview asked Cullors about “critiques” of her group, ones that allege “a lack of perhaps ideological direction in Black Lives Matter that would allow it to be, to fizzle out.” Responding to that question, Cullors said that the group “do[es] have an ideological frame.” “Myself and Alicia in particular are trained organizers. We are trained Marxists. We are super-versed on, sort of, ideological theories,” she said, adding that the group’s founders sought to “build a movement that could be utilized by many, many black folk.”
One interview technique a biased interviewer uses is to not ask provocative questions that might make the subject look bad or undermine the purpose of a propaganda interview.
Jake Tapper did not ask Cullors about her saying she is a “trained Marxist” and did not ask her about what methods BLM is using to “get Trump out (of office)”.
More from Tapper’s softball interview of trained Marxist Patrisse Cullors. Observe how Tapper helpfully puts words in Cullors’ mouth to defuse the “defund the police” controversy:
TAPPER: Now, correct me if I’m wrong, when you say defund the police, you don’t mean abolish police departments, you mean take some of the money that is going to police and put them in other places for social services for the homeless, for social workers, for psychologists, for education. Is — am I — do I have that right? CULLORS: You have that right. In this current moment, our demand is reallocating resources. The resources that don’t need to be in the hands of law enforcement, and actually need to be in the hands of caseworkers and the hands of psychiatrist, of violence prevention workers, in the hands of our cultural programs.

But the crooked attorney is refusing to step down.
Berman released his own statement–
Berman’s office was the lead in several high profile cases assembled by Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann.
CBS58 reported:
In a fast-escalating crisis Friday night, Attorney General William Barr tried to oust Geoffrey Berman, the powerful US attorney for the Southern District of New York who has investigated a number of associates of President Donald Trump, but Berman defied him by refusing to step down.
In an extraordinary statement sent roughly an hour after Barr said Berman was set to leave the office, Berman said he had learned of his purported exit from a press release.
“I have not resigned, and have no intention of resigning, my position, to which I was appointed by the Judges of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. I will step down when a presidentially appointed nominee is confirmed by the Senate,” Berman said. “Until then, our investigations will move forward without delay or interruption.”
The standoff opens up a fresh crisis at the Justice Department, places the leadership of the most prominent federal prosecutors office outside Washington in a precarious position and again raises questions about Barr’s willingness to steer the department to suit Trump’s political agenda.

Late yesterday the Department of Justice released previously redacted sections of the discredited Report regarding me. The Russian Collusion and Wikileaks collaboration so adamantly insisted would be proved by propaganda fronts like Mother Jones, Vox and CNN is nowhere to be found.
One of the redacted sections the Mueller report released yesterday re-cycles the false claim by Michael Cohen that he overheard a conversation on the telephone between me and candidate Donald Trump in 2016 regarding the WikiLeaks disclosures. The President has denied this in his written answers to Mueller and I have denied it under oath before the House Intelligence Committee. This was not among even the contrived charges against me for lying to Congress. No such conversation ever took place.
This is not new. Michael Cohen made this same claim under oath to the House Oversight Committee on February 27, 2019 in a public hearing which was widely covered. It is also false and Mueller’s dirty cops could find no corroboration whatsoever for this fantasy. First Cohen told the Dirty Cops that this alleged call happened in July during the Democratic National Convention. Then he changed his story and said it was in August just before the Republican National Convention.
I denied Cohen’s lie in February 2019 and was chastised by Judge Amy Berman Jackson for commenting on it and thus violating her unconstitutional gag order even though my simple public comment had been approved by my lawyer
My only comment at the time was “Mr. Cohen’s claim is not true” however DOJ prosecutor Adam Jed said in a filing with the DC Court of Appeals in response to a Writ of Mandamus that I filed regarding the gag order that I called Cohen who he said was “a prospective witness” at my trial a “liar” which I never said. Jed used a newspaper link that does NOT quote me as saying this as documentation. In other words Adam Jed perpetrated a fraud upon the Court, among the many acts of misconduct by the prosecutors in my case that will be the subject of a formal complaint to the Office of Professional Responsibility at the DOJ as well as the DC Bar next week. Cohen was not called at my Soviet style show trial.
As to the alleged conversations with Manafort and Gates referred to in yesterday’s released material, which frankly I have no memory whatsoever of and the government could find no corroboration of – they are completely consistent with what I was saying on Twitter at the time and are based on Assange’s own many public comments and by the tip by leftist gadfly Randy Credico that the WikiLeaks disclosures would be harmful to Hillary’s campaign and would come in October. I supplied 30 pages of text messages between Credico and myself to the Office of Special Counsel that confirm Credico saying exactly that. I also released this material publicly because the Mueller Investigation was a politically motivated witch hunt, this exculpatory information was ignored.
Even as you read this the Federal Bureau of prisons has informed my attorneys the Attorney General William Barr’s COVID – 19 directive that federal inmates convicted of non-violent crimes be moved from prison incarceration to home confinement apply to Michael Avenatti, Michael Cohen and Rick Gates but not Roger Stone. On June 30, I must report to a federal penitentiary far from my home where there’s a documented presence of COVID-19. At 65 years old and with a history of asthma this is a death sentence. This is the Federal Bureau of Prisons, under control of Attorney General William Barr. So much for the claim by the Democrats that Barr has shown me preferential treatment in my sentencing.
I will continue to fight for my freedom and will exhaust every legal remedy possible after which I pray that President Donald Trump will issue clemency as an act of both justice and mercy.

“Should you happen to find yourself near a statue that you decide you no longer like, we asked scientists for the best, safest ways to bring it to the ground without anyone getting hurt—except, of course, for the inanimate racist who’s been dead for a century anyway,” the article states.
The author goes on to explain the materials and weights of different types of statues and the amount of force needed to pull them down. They also detail how many people you will need, materials to use, and other methods including the use of chemicals.
“The melting point of the hypothetical bronze statue is 1,742 degrees Fahrenheit, but even if you come across a racist cast in copper (melting point: 1,984 degrees), you can still easily melt both with thermite, as it burns at 2,500 degrees,” the author explained while urging people to use chemicals to destroy history. “While thermite might burn nearly half as hot as the sun, it isn’t explosive.”

thegatewaypundit--2020-06-21--Joe Rogan: Media On The Left Is Ignoring Joe Biden’s Cognitive Decline (VIDEO)

Joe Rogan is not a conservative , but he is honest and he hosts one of the most watched podcasts in the country .
During a recent episode , Rogan asserted that the liberal media is actively ignoring Joe Biden ’ s diminishing mental state .
Rogan is absolutely right , and his remarks have sparked outrage from the left .

That ’ s what I keep hearing from my friends on the left .
They ’ ve basically made this concession in their head like , “ Hey , you know , this is what I ’ m voting for now.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has completely ignored all of these Biden speeches that clearly show some kind of cognitive decline .
Like David Pakman , who I respect a lot , he was kind of arguing against it , that it didn ’ t show his decline .

Joe Rogan is not a conservative, but he is honest and he hosts one of the most watched podcasts in the country.
During a recent episode, Rogan asserted that the liberal media is actively ignoring Joe Biden’s diminishing mental state.
Rogan is absolutely right, and his remarks have sparked outrage from the left.
Here’s a partial transcript via Breitbart:
JOE ROGAN: I’m seeing this one thing that I keep hearing over and over again from people of the left that really disturbs me is this concession that what you’re voting for is the Cabinet, you’re voting for the Supreme Court, you’re voting for someone who’s not going to reverse Roe vs. Wade. That’s what I keep hearing from my friends on the left. They’ve basically made this concession in their head like, “Hey, you know, this is what I’m voting for now.” And the news media on the left has completely ignored all of these Biden speeches that clearly show some kind of cognitive decline. Like David Pakman, who I respect a lot, he was kind of arguing against it, that it didn’t show his decline. I was trying to look at it in a way that made sense, I was trying to be rational about it, like maybe, “Okay, maybe he’s just exhausted, maybe this, and maybe it’s pressure.” Sometimes people get really tongue-tied and panic under pressure, and words come out all fucked up. That is possible. But there’s a trend. If you go back to when he was a younger man that trend didn’t exist. You’re seeing a change. The idea that as you get older you become less comfortable with the media, less comfortable with speaking publically, that doesn’t jive with me. That doesn’t make any sense. BRET WEINSTEIN: I agree with you. I see a decline. But irrespective of what that is, Joe Biden is an influence peddler. He’s not an idea guy, right? He’s the same idea as Hillary Clinton in a different morphology.
Here’s the video:
The media is ignoring every negative aspect of Biden they can, because they desperately want to beat Trump.
It’s so obvious.
