‘ Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists ’ Provides President Trump Legal Justification for Soleimani Strike Sorry Liberals but the President had ample legal justification for the hit on Iranian Leader Qasam Soleimani last week .
There is ample evidence that supports the President ’ s actions in the bombing of Iranian leader Qasam Soleimani last week .

In general the law states that the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations , organizations , or persons he determines planned , authorized , committed , or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11 , 2001 , or harbored such organizations or persons , in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations , organizations or persons .
This may be why one of the reasons for targeting Soleimani as tweeted by Vice President Mike @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the terrorist ’ s actions in assisting the terrorists involved in 9-11 : There is ample evidence to support the targeting and bombing of Iranian devil Soleimani .

This may be why one of the reasons for targeting Soleimani as tweeted by Vice President Mike Pence on January 3rd was related to the terrorist’s actions in assisting the terrorists involved in 9-11:

thegatewaypundit--2020-01-10--John Huber’s Hillary Clinton-Related Investigation Ends with No Criminal Charges and No Interviews!

John Huber ’ s Hillary Clinton-Related Investigation Ends with No Criminal Charges and No Interviews !
An investigation launched into Hillary Clinton in November of 2017 by John Huber , the US Attorney tapped by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions has ended without criminal charges .
Keep in mind , Huber had the authority to impanel a grand jury , however he did nothing since the day Jeff Sessions appointed him in the Fall of 2017 to ‘ review ’ Clinton-related matters .
Instead of appointing a special counsel , Jeff Sessions tapped Huber to “ review ” the Clinton Foundation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ FBI ’ s ( mis ) handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton private server .
“ Your recommendations should include whether any matters not currently under investigation warrants the opening of an investigation , whether any matters currently under investigation require further resources or further investigation , and whether any matters would merit the appointment of a Special Counsel , ” Sessions wrote .
In other words , Huber was hired to investigate if there should be investigations — essentially a non-investigation ( head fake ) .
John Huber , the U.S. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ November 2017 by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to look into concerns raised by President Trump and his allies in Congress that the FBI had not fully pursued cases of possible corruption at the Clinton Foundation and during Clinton ’ s time as secretary of state , when the U.S. government decided not to block the sale of a company called Uranium One .
As a part of his review , Huber examined documents and conferred with federal law enforcement officials in Little Rock who were handling a meandering probe into the Clinton Foundation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Current and former officials said that Huber has largely finished and found nothing worth pursuing — though the assignment has not formally ended and no official notice has been sent to the Justice Department or to lawmakers , these people said .
The Gateway Pundit reported many times that Sessions ’ appointment of Huber was just a head fake .
Former US Attorney Joe diGenova said several months ago that the Huber investigation into the Clinton Foundation is a farce .
Huber never even interviewed the top witness in the case who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that nothing was getting done .
Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee said John Huber still has not interviewed key witnesses and they want answers .

John Huber
An investigation launched into Hillary Clinton in November of 2017 by John Huber, the US Attorney tapped by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions has ended without criminal charges.
Keep in mind, Huber had the authority to impanel a grand jury, however he did nothing since the day Jeff Sessions appointed him in the Fall of 2017 to ‘review’ Clinton-related matters.
Instead of appointing a special counsel, Jeff Sessions tapped Huber to “review” the Clinton Foundation, the Uranium One scandal and the FBI’s (mis)handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private server.
“Your recommendations should include whether any matters not currently under investigation warrants the opening of an investigation, whether any matters currently under investigation require further resources or further investigation, and whether any matters would merit the appointment of a Special Counsel,” Sessions wrote.
In other words, Huber was hired to investigate if there should be investigations — essentially a non-investigation (head fake).
Washington Post reported:
John Huber, the U.S. attorney in Utah, was tapped in November 2017 by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to look into concerns raised by President Trump and his allies in Congress that the FBI had not fully pursued cases of possible corruption at the Clinton Foundation and during Clinton’s time as secretary of state, when the U.S. government decided not to block the sale of a company called Uranium One. As a part of his review, Huber examined documents and conferred with federal law enforcement officials in Little Rock who were handling a meandering probe into the Clinton Foundation, people familiar with the matter said. Current and former officials said that Huber has largely finished and found nothing worth pursuing — though the assignment has not formally ended and no official notice has been sent to the Justice Department or to lawmakers, these people said.
The Gateway Pundit reported many times that Sessions’ appointment of Huber was just a head fake.
Former US Attorney Joe diGenova said several months ago that the Huber investigation into the Clinton Foundation is a farce.
Huber never even interviewed the top witness in the case who diGenova represented!
Last year we reported that nothing was getting done. Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee said John Huber still has not interviewed key witnesses and they want answers.
Mark Meadows (R-NC), Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Doug Collins (R-GA) sent a letter to John Huber on January 8th 2019 demanding answers, but they never received a response.
“Your investigation has been ongoing for over nine months. During the course of our extensive investigation we have interviewed more than a dozen current and former DOJ and FBI personnel, and were surprised to hear none of these potentially informative witnesses testified to speaking with you,” the GOP lawmakers wrote.
The Deep State is not out of the woods yet because Attorney General Bill Barr appointed US Attorney from Connecticut John Durham to investigate the origins of Spygate.
Tom Fitton blasted the “DOJ non investigation” conducted by Huber.

Updates on events unfolding in Iran
Evidence is Mounting that Qassem Soleimani was Turned Over to the US by his Rivals in Tehran
According to confidential sources inside Iran, on the night of January 6th, 56 high-ranking IRGC officers, including the late Qods Force commander General Soleimani’s right-hand man in Iraq, were arrested. A further 34 IRGC officers were detained on the 8th.
All 90 of these men were said to be personally loyal to Soleimani.
A source inside IRGC tells me that since yesterday evening, 56 of IRGC commanders have been arrested by the IRGC’s intelligence organisation. According to the source, knows as Haj Vahid,one of Soleimani’s most trusted in Iraq is missing since the strike on Soleimani. — Raman Ghavami (@Raman_Ghavami) January 7, 2020

The source just told me that 34 more commanders by the IRGC’s intelligence organisation have been arrested.
“All of them were loyal to Qasem Soleimani”, the source says. This source is preparing to leave Iran.
This is turning into something very different. https://t.co/QqyWCEdlVJ — Raman Ghavami (@Raman_Ghavami) January 8, 2020
This news is increasing the speculation that Soleimani, who was known to act on his own initiatives, and who was being seen as a possible future dictator-in-waiting for Tehran, was betrayed to American intelligence by his own colleagues within the regime, who feared that he would deprive them of their power and privileges.
Additionally, information has surfaced that Soleimani, who had been personally leading the repression against the popular uprising in Iraq since October, had been planning a coup d’état in Baghdad that would have resulted in the assassination of the Iraqi president, and the seizing of the American embassy there.
What if the strikes were meant to stop a plan, this morning I was hearing from trusted sources close to the government leadership that they were worried of an Iranian backed plan by the Militias and Sulaimani to seize power and arrest the president and declare a new Iraqi norm. pic.twitter.com/BDt6Hkp0uF — Steven nabil (@thestevennabil) January 3, 2020
Thus, seen in this light of Soleimani’s out-of-control brazenness, and his growing unpopularity within his own Khomeinist clique, US President Donald’s Trump decision to kill him emerges as the de-escalatory move that he has presented it as, and one that will stimulate more infighting, and the consequent weakening of, the regime.
Though it presents a public face of being monolithic, the IRGC is riddled with factionalism and waves of purges. Last July, 125 IRGC officers were arrested and accused of plotting to overthrow the regime. In that regard, some observers are already judging the conference of regime-sponsored proxy militias that Tehran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei called together on Thursday, January 9th, (which featured representatives from Palestine’s Hamas, Lebanon’s Hezbollah, Yemen’s Houthis, Iraq’s Hashd al Shaabi, Afghanistan’s Fatemiyoun and Pakistan’s Zeinabiyoun) in order to unite them behind the new Qods Force commander, Esmail Ghaani to have already failed, because these forces had been personally built up by, and around, Soleimani, and their loyalties may not be so easily transferrable.
IRGC Shoots Down Ukrainian Airliner: Why?
Ukrainian International Airlines Flight PS752 crashed soon after taking off from Tehran on the morning of Wednesday the 7th. The crash, which occurred soon after the IRGC had filed missiles at two American military bases in Iraq, killed all 176 people onboard. Most of the passengers, 82 of them, were Iranians, while 63 were Canadian, as the flight was supposed to be connecting in Kiev with a Toronto-bound one. Video footage shows the plane instantaneously bursting into flames.
The regime claimed that the crash was accidental, but it refused to hand the plane’s black box over to its manufacturer, Boeing, to determine what had happened. Witnesses on the ground reported finding debris from an IRGC 9M331 missile at the crash site, indicating that the plane was shot down by one of the IRGC’s Russian-manufactured Tor-M1 air defense batteries.

American government sources later confirmed that US espionage satellites had captured images of the missiles impacting the airliner. Speculation has now commenced as to why the IRGC attacked this airplane. Some are simply assuming that the IRGC personnel might have thought the plane was a US fighter jet, and fired on it in error. Others are wondering whether this was a disguised form of retaliation for the killing of Soleimani. Still others are questioning whether this incident might be related to Ukraine-Tehran economic relations.
Ukraine is a key trading partner of the Tehran regime, and its aviation industry, in particular, has helped Tehran avoid sanctions and acquire banned weapons technology, by sneaking them onboard Kiev-Tehran commercial flights. Now that Kiev’s new Zelensky administration, under pressure from the US to seriously crackdown on corruption and organized crime, seems willing to tackle mafia groups that the Khomeinist regime has been doing business with, one can wonder whether or not the IRGC was sending a threatening message to Ukraine by shooting down their airplane.
Repression and Unrest Continuing in Iran, While Western Liberal Media Only Amplify Khomeinist Propaganda
Despite the martial law atmosphere prevailing in Iran, there are people still attempting to protest, and activists are being arrested. On Sunday, December 29th, eight were detained in Tehran on charges of attempting to organize a demonstration, while three more were arrested on the same charge in Esfahan. The day before, 26 people were arrested in several Iranian cities for having participated in the November protests.
The repression took a new turn after Soleimani’s death. The public prosecutor of the city of Shahreza, outside of Esfahan, declared that saying derogatory things about Soleimani amounted to “blasphemy,” and announced that four Esfahanis had been arrested for making anti-Soleimani posts on social media. On January 4th, the editor of the regime’s own Khabar News website was summoned to court for writing that Soleimani was killed, instead of “martyred,” while a journalist in the western city of Paveh, named Mozafar Validbeygi, was also arrested for the same choice of words.
Some Iranians did brave the IRGC to display their joy over Soleimani’s death. On January 4th, in Ahvaz, locals burned a banner bearing his image, while a hall that was supposed to devoted to a regime-mandated mourning ceremony had to be closed after crowds started booing the memory of the Qods Force commander and cheering his death.

In an attempt to show that Soleimani was revered in Iran, the regime, as per its usual practice, staged a demonstration at Soleimani’s funeral in Ahvaz by busing in many IRGC and Basij militia personnel, dressed in plainclothes, and their families, as they could, while also offering free food and transportation to the starving poor in various Iranian municipalities. Independent analysists studying footage of the IRGC’s rent-a-crowd showed that it could not have numbered more than 90,000, but regime media falsely claimed that “millions” had gathered.
For those who don’t know how #Iran‘s Islamic Regime managed to bring 100,000 people to streets of #Ahvaz & #Mashhad to take part in funeral of #Soleimani. These are all personnel of #IRGC & #Basij militia members & their families. #IRGC bases were almost empty across #Iran! pic.twitter.com/n3Hxt0dz6Z — Babak Taghvaee (@BabakTaghvaee) January 5, 2020
CNN is intentionally lying and claiming that #QassemSoleimani was an “Iranian Military Leader.” He was not. The official Military is the Iranian Army. Soleimani was a major general of the IRGC and commander of Quds Force, mafias of Ayatollahs and globally designated terrorists. https://t.co/jDjBNoQWC7 — Imam of Peace (@Imamofpeace) January 3, 2020
@CNN is such #fakenews it ain’t even funny. They’re saying hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets protesting the killing of Qassem Soleimani. Regime brought a bunch of riff raffs out in the streets, suddenly its “nationwide and ongoing in 800 different cities”. 🙄 — Ahura Mazda 👑 🦁☀ (@Ahura3) January 3, 2020
Congratulations to @nytimes and @meslackman! The state tv and media in Iran are showing @farnazfassihi‘s propagandistic tweets as proof for their false claims that millions of Iranians showed up at Soleimani’s funeral.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo: Supporting the Iranian People, and Rejecting Opportunistic Sects
While the Tehran regime, and western liberal media, ran wild with accusations that President Trump wanted to bomb Iranian cultural heritage sites, based on a mistaken interpretation of one Tweet, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo retorted with the facts that it is the Khomeinist regime itself who has been the biggest destroyer of Iran’s cultural heritage.
The United States was founded on tolerance. We have great respect for Persian history and its symbols, like Persepolis, Naqsh-e Jahan Square, and the Tomb of Cyrus. @khamenei_ir’s corrupt regime should listen to the people of #Iran. They want their culture and their country back. — Secretary Pompeo (@SecPompeo) January 7, 2020

On Monday, Pompeo further displayed his keen awareness of Iranian issues by sending out a letter to all American diplomats asking them not to meet with six so-called Iranian opposition groups; most notably, the Islamic-Marxist sect, the Mojahedin’e Khalq (MEK), as well as four separatist groups seeking to dismember Iran. Activists inside Iran saw this a wise move, showing that the US authorities understand the difference between the real Iran opposition, and power-seeking opportunists.

In this article at Daily Mail there is a picture (I attached it) where there is a security guy with the letters EOD on his back with a German Shepherd dog going over the site. In military terms EOD stands for explosives ordinance disposal, I don’t know why an Iranian would use the English letters, but, if it was explosive ordinance disposal I would assume that dog has a pretty good nose to sniff out explosives.
Why would they be looking for explosives except to make sure the site was checked for any remains of a missile that would have obvious traces of explosives that would cause problems keeping up the narrative that it was a mechanical malfunction. Just something I noticed.

Governor Abbott cited concerns about the border as part of his decision to decline allowing refugees to resettle in the state.
The Texas newspaper Statesman reported on Friday that in a letter to U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Abbott said he “cannot consent to initial refugee resettlement” in 2020.
The letter was in response to an executive order signed by President Donald Trump that allows states and local governments to consent before refugees can be resettled there.
“This decision does not deny any refugee access to the United States. Nor does it preclude a refugee from later coming to Texas after initially settling in another state,” Abbott wrote.
Abbott continued on to explain that Texas can’t accept additional refugees this year because Congress has left the state “to deal with disproportionate migration issues resulting from a broken federal immigration system.”

US intelligence and law enforcement is now investigating if Russia is targeting Democrat front runner Joe Biden in 2020 election meddling .

Biden ’ s son Hunter was paid millions of dollars sitting on the board of Burisma Holdings , a Ukrainian natural gas @ @ @ @ @ @ @ field .
Rudy Giuliani just returned from Hungary and Ukraine and revealed a massive money laundering operation involving the Bidens and said Viktor Shokin , the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Hunter and Burisma was poisoned and almost died .

“ It goes from Ukraine , to Latvia , it ’ s disguised as a loan to another company to ‘ Wirelogic ’ I believe — it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as another loan — this is called “ Digitech ” then it ’ s dispersed as payment as board fees , ” he added .
Giuliani added , “ Now you don ’ t make two loans to make board fees unless you ’ re laundering the money .
$ 3 million gets to Hunter Biden in that way.
” “ That is a straight out violation of a money laundering statute , ” he said .
Joe Biden bragged about withholding $ 1 billion in loan guarantees from Ukraine unless they fired @ @ @ @ @ @ @ son Hunter .
