NOTE TO POTUS TRUMP. ENGAGE PAT CIPOLLONE TO ARGUE THE CASES IN COURT AS FIRST CHAIR ALONG WITH Rudy and Sidney in that order!!!!!!

  1. BARREL, POTUS Trump’s lawyer Pat Cipollone was a camera-shy Washington Everyman — until impeachment showed us his brilliance and made him a star.
  2. Yes, PORK. POTUS TRUMP needs to have Pat argue the cases in court as first chair.
  3. With all the affidavits and details about fraud uncovered, POTUS TRUMP will have four more years.
  4. That was an amazing press conference. Rudy spoke truth to power. Rudy spoke truth to the press.

DID HUNTER BIDEN STICK IT TO HIS ABUSIVE FATHER JOE BIDEN BY LEAVING HIS LAPTOP WITH THE TECH GUY? LOOKS LIKE IT. THIS WASN’T AN ACCIDENT ON THE PART OF HUNTER. BARREL & PORK. We report! You decide!

1.      BARREL, did Joe Biden lie to America and has he stolen money and is his family The Biden Crime Family and should Joe withdraw in disgrace? BARREL, IT SURE LOOKS LIKE HUNTER BIDEN STUCK IT TO HIS ABUSIVE FATHER SIMPLY BY LEAVING HIS LAPTOP AT THE TECH SHOP. THIS WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT. HUNTER, REGARDLESS OF HIS USE OF CRACK OR ALCOHOL, IS WAY TOO SMART LIKE A FOX.

2. Yes, PORK. Listen to Rudy Giuliani’s recent Common Sense podcast. See https://rudygiulianics.com/ of which following is a transcript.

2.     “Welcome to Rudy Giuliani’s Common Sense. This is another episode and this is a very important one. 

3.      “We’re going to summarize the state of the evidence against the Biden Crime Family.

4.      “It’s really mounted up since the disclosures of the emails and texts and photographs of Hunter Biden and now things that were proven by witnesses, documents, and video tapes, that were ignored and lied about by the press, are now proven by Hunter Biden’s own words.

5.      “Let me assure you that this is his hard drive.

6.      “It was given to my lawyer by the gentleman who had repaired it.

7.      “It had been left behind by, he says, a drunken Hunter Biden who came in and had a very hard time even signing and did describe what he wanted.

8.      “He came back one time to supply a keyboard and then after it was repaired he never returned even though there was substantial notices to return.

9.      “After a while when the gentleman heard things on the news suggesting that the Bidens may or may not have been involved in criminal activity he became very concerned that possibly he was holding some kind of illegal material.

10.   “So it was now his property according to the contract signed by Hunter Biden which we have right here.

11.   “The property was abandoned and property that is abandoned under the law becomes the property of the person that is in possession of it.

12.   “So he had every right to listen to what was there and look at what was there and he was shocked .

13.   “What he saw he said was clear evidence of a crime, clear evidence that the Bidens were lying over and over again .

14.   “And then on the photographs clear evidence of criminal activity and some activity I would have a hard time describing and really should be left to more private discussion.

15.   “In short, what these photographs display is a Hunter Biden who is a very serious I would say degenerate crack addict.

16.   “What that means is he doesn’t get rehabilitated.

17.   “When he goes into rehabilitation there is even picture of him going out at night smoking crack.

18.   “So what it looks like is all during the period of time when he was taking millions and millions and millions of dollars there would be pictures of him sitting in a closet smoking dope or engaged in sex while smoking crack with the woman, sometimes on his own.  

19.   “It proves without any doubt that none of this money was intended for Hunter Biden because nobody would pay this guy ten dollars.

20.   “You couldn’t be sure if you gave him ten dollars to go get a bottle of milk for you that he’d come back.

21.   “So there’s no way that some of the biggest criminals in the world are going to be paying him $10,000,000 to $14,000,000 or $30,000,000 or investing in a $1,500,000,000 (one point five billion dollar) completely ridiculous private equity fund.

22.   “So what commodity did Hunter have to sell?

23.   “That’s pretty easy isn’t it?

24.   “The Vice Presidency of the United States.

25.   “Which … his uncle and Joes younger brother had been doing for the prior twenty years.

26.   “And that’s why this is a crime family.

27.   “I know their name is not Italian.

28.   “But you know, this RICO statute applies to political corruption. It applies to white collar crime.

29.   “I am the first one to really use it to effectively bring down the Mafia, the Mafia drug dealers, the Teamsters Union, the Fulton Fish Market, the private carding industry, and then Wall Street, and then after that United States Congressmen, and a substantial number of New York City officials, New York State officials, Republican and Democrat, probably that’s what got me elected mayor.

30.   “Didn’t do it for that reason but that’s what made me well known in New York and taught me what was wrong with New York.

31.   “So I know this statute backwards and forwards and this is a perfect case for it because this Biden Family was engaging in the business of crime.

32.   “And their commodity? Joe’s public office.

33.   “And Joe, you will see, shared in the proceeds which is clearly admitted by his co-conspirators.

34.   “So let me outline it for you so that you will be able to follow all of this.

35.   “And there will be more than what I am just saying but I am taking four that will get the most prominence.  

36.   “Now we’re going to focus on when he was Vice President of the United States because that’s where the big money was made.

37.   “Before he was Vice President of the United States he made substantial amounts of money through the lobbying of his brothers, the fact that his son had a no show job with a major bank in Delaware. Joe Biden was the only Democratic Senator that lobbied in favor of banks, against using the bankruptcy laws, because all democrats were in favor of that.

38.   “Theoretically, they like to say they represent poor people.

39.   “Joe was representing the rich bank that was employing his son in a no show job which is how his drug addict son began his career.

40.   “But nobody else would employ him because he’d be out two three days a week.

41.   “You know. Looking for crack.

42.    “It’s a terrible problem.

43.   “And I don’t mean to pick on Hunter for being an addict.

44.   “That’s a terrible affliction.

45.   “As a father, I blame Joe Biden. I say to myself.

46.   “I don’t know if I had a child afflicted by that wouldn’t I take care of them and keep them in rehabilitation.

47.   “Would I expose them to the most crooked man in Ukraine, one of the most crooked people in China, to probably the most crooked woman in Russia?

48.   “Would I do that to a drug addict son? Just because of greed?

49.   “I don’t know. I think this is Joe Biden’s fault.

50.   “But in any event I have outlined four transactions here. [TWO SET FORTH IN THIS POST.]

51.   “And these are the principle players that we can identify from the analysis we have done so far of the texts and the emails and the photographs.

52.   “And I have to say we have analyzed about a quarter of it. For it is very, very extensive.

53.   “So what you have, and I will summarize them really quickly is let’s call this JOE THE POINT MAN.

54.   “Obama was very, very comfortable with that designation POINT MAN.

55.   “So when IRAQ, when we were negotiating to end our role in IRAQ it was really, really critical for the national security interests of the United States that we retain troops there so that we could keep IRAN from basically creating an extension of the Islamic Republic of IRAN empire.

56.   “And Joe Biden was sent to do that.

57.   “Now that was probably a very foolish decision by President Obama because Joe Biden honestly had never succeeded at any negotiation ever.

58.   “Robert Gates, his co-cabinet member in the Obama administration, probably commenting on this and any number of other things including his opposition to killing Bin Laden said that Joe Biden had never been correct on any matter of foreign policy in his entire life.

59.   “That’s a quote from his fellow cabinet member.

60.   “Well, he [Joe] went to IRAQ.

61.   “He was supposed to negotiate this agreement that the IRAQIS would allow ten to twenty thousand American troops to stay behind and have immunity from prosecution so  they couldn’t get caught in the cross fire between the Sunis, the Shias, and the other elements there.

62.   “Of course, he failed.

63.   “But the Biden Crime Family came out of it really good. Really, really good.

64.   “James, his brother, who had no experience in housing was all of a sudden miraculously made part of a one point five billion dollar ($1,500,000,000), seems like a convenient number for them, one point five billion dollar housing deal in IRAQ.

65.   “And like Hunter, James had no experience – in building houses.

66.   “He [James] was a sleezy lobbyest on K street.

67.   “And I say sleezy advisedly because it was all over the newspapers if you care to ask and every time it would come up Joe would say I don’t know my family’s business.

68.   “After a while, that becomes kind of an incredible answer, doesn’t it.

69.   “[THE IRAQ DEAL] Then of course we have the Russian situation, that’s the IRAQ situation [pointing to descriptive diagram], the money goes to his brother and as you will see about half that money will end up in the pocket of Joe Biden.

70.   “As well, James will be responsible for some of the Biden family expenses.

71.   “‘Cause Joe didn’t pay for much. [Ad]

72.   “Thank you for returning to the discussion of the Biden Crime Family.

73.   “[THE RUSSIAN DEAL] The second one we have is Russia. Russia is a little cloudy. Don’t know it as well. We’re just digging it out but it is quite clear that Hunter Biden received $3.5 million dollars ($3,500,000) from the wife of the mayor of Moscow, the former mayor of Moscow, since deceased. Catarina Batarina.

74.   “Catarina is quite a character.

75.   “I mean she’s now considered the wealthiest woman in Russia.

76.   “Probably the most dangerous woman in Russia.

77.   “She more or less double crossed her husband to get him out of office and placate Putin.

78.   “Putin might have actually had a good reason to get rid of her husband.

79.   “Because her husband whom I knew because he was the mayor of Moscow when I was mayor of New York.

80.   “Her husband was really an out of control crook.

81.   “He was taking money from Putin’s friends.

82.   “Not a good idea.

83.   “So they got him out and she became even closer to Putin as a result of that.

84.   “So when you think of that $3.5 million dollars, I want you to remember that it is coming from one of Putin’s allies.

85.   “Remember, Russian collusion that the democrats charged the president with.

86.   “There was no Russian collusion.

87.   “We now know from the Brennan notes that Hillary made that up.

88.   “But even more galling than that no Republican got any money from Russia.

89.   “These characters got $3.5 million dollars ($3,500,000) from Putin’s best friend.

90.   “And the press doesn’t care.

91.   “The press doesn’t care.

92.   “Actually, it’s a little bit more than $3.5 million.

93.   “It’s closer to $3.8 because there were two laundered payments that I think can be easily proven.

94.   “And we still don’t know why.

95.   “Because Biden lied about it during the debate when he said there was no such transaction.

96.   “I don’t know that if Joe just thinks he can say this and because the press is like sickeningly on his side, as the moderator was.

97.   “Nobody is going to really pay attention to the documents that show the money.

98.   “But we got ‘em Joe.

99.   “Anybody interested in truth and fairness is going to want to see them.

100.          “So now let’s get to Ukraine [IN THE NEXT POST] which we have heard a lot about.

BARREL, IT SURE LOOKS LIKE HUNTER STUCK IT TO HIS ABUSIVE FATHER SIMPLY BY LEAVING HIS LAPTOP AT THE TECH SHOP.

BARREL & PORK. © 2020. We report! You decide!       

HAVE WE BEEN CONNED BY THE DEMOCRATS ALL THESE YEARS? THOUGHT FOR SEAN HANNITY, RUSH LIMBAUGH, ALL MEDIA, AND POTUS TRUMP, AND THE NATION. BARREL & PORK. We report! You decide!

Sean and Rush and POTUS TRUMP and all media and the nation, 

Have we BLACKS AND HISPANICS AND NATIVE AMERICANS AND ASIAN AMERICANS AND CAUCASIAN AMERICANS HAVE BEEN CONNED BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ALL THESE YEARS?

The Democratic Party was the party of slavery, Jim Crow, Ku Klux Klan, Lynching, Poll Taxes, Segregation, and Japanese-American Internment. 

It is the party of BLACK abortion, HISPANIC abortion, Native American abortion, Caucasian abortion, Asian American abortion? Yes it is responsible for surgically and chemically killing 300,000,000+ unborn babies since Roe v Wade if you simply add up the surgical killing numbers and chemical killing footnote numbers taken from the abortion counter online put forth by Planned Parenthood itself.  50,000,000+ of those babies were BLACK babies. 50,000,000+ were Hispanic babies.

And Joe Biden and the Democratic Party are now the party of socialism trending communism and riots, looting, inner city murders, and anarchy? Yes they are.

SO HAVE THE DEMOCRATS CONNED AND PULLED THE WOOL OVER THE BLACKS AND HISPANICS AND ASIAN AMERICANS AND THE REST OF AMERICA ALL THESE YEARS? YES THEY HAVE.

THEY HAVE CONNED AMERICA, AND THEY ARE STILL CONNING AMERICA.

THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND US VOTERS. 

ALL WE WANT FROM EACH PARTY AND THEIR POLITICIANS IS SIMPLE. WE DON’T WANT ATTEMPTED COUPS AND MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR INVESTIGATIONS AND IMPEACHMENTS AND CAREER POLITICIANS LIKE JOE BIDEN WHO USE THEIR OFFICE UNETHICALLY TO ENRICH THEMSELVES AND THEIR SON AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS. 

ALL WE WANT IS TO BE FREE, SAFE, AND PROSPEROUS.  That is why no one in his or her right mind will vote for Joe and any other democrat and everyone will vote for POTUS TRUMP and VP PENCE and the Republicans in November.

SUGGESTION TO POTUS TRUMP. BRING ALL MEDIA OWNERS MOGULS INTO SITUATION PRESS CONFERENCE ROOM AND GIVE THEM A MULTI-HOUR BRIEFING ON COVID19 AND ASK FOR THEIR HELP IN BRINGING BACK THE ECONOMY AND LEAVE THEIR MINION REPORTERS OUTSIDE FOR THE DAY AND DO THIS REGULARLY. NOTE: There are probably a number of different audiences you might invite for the same thing. Let the press get their briefing online like the rest of us once in a while. OR USE ZOOM OR GOTOMEETING.

1. So BARREL, I have a suggestion for POTUS TRUMP. I have been watching POTUS TRUMP’S daily coronavirus briefings and I had what may be an intriguing epiphany.


2. What is that PORK? 


3. How about bringing all of the media owner moguls from Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, Breitbart News, Drudge Report, Infowars, Washington POST, NY Times, LA Times, Chicago Times, etc., etc., to a special multi-hour news briefing to them and the nation and leave all of their low level dog in the manger minions outside for a change?


4. How about talking directly to the media owners? Ask for their help. Ask for their trust and support. Ask them to help heal the nation economically. Ask them to help heal the nation psychologically. Ask them to stop running the negative “garbage” tearing down POTUS and his family and the nation and FEMA and First Responders and wall building and etc., etc.


5. Get them in the same room and review COVID 19 with them and any other matters of interest. OR USE ZOOM OR GOTOMEETING.


6. And do so face to face and then use ZOOM or Gotomeeting weekly and get them involved in the solution so their dog in the manger minions don’t keep roiling the nation with their negativity.


7. Wow, PORK. That is a spectacular suggestion. 


8. BARREL, my bet is that the media owner moguls are more than willing to help the nation and that at the same time they are willing to change the tone of the media from negative to positive and thereby help contain COVID 19 and get the economy back on a fast track.


WE REPORT! YOU DECIDE!

Suggestion for POTUS TRUMP? Bring all media owners moguls into situation room for a multi-hour briefing and Q&A and leave their dog-in-the manger minions outside.

WE REPORT! YOU DECIDE!

Coronavirus media cart before the politician Influenza virus horse? Looks like it. BARREL & PORK. We report! You decide!

1. BARREL, WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT CORONAVIRUS COVID-19 VIRUS vs INFLUENZA VIRUS.


2. PORK, I know a few things. I know that it sure looks like the media panic cart is before the politicians’ panic horse. Consider these facts. In this coronavirus panic, we have @ 100 cases of “COVID-19” virus with 9 deaths in the U.S.


3. In the Coronavirus MERS panic we had 2 cases and 0 deaths in the U.S. in the year 2012. No deaths then and no deaths since.


4. In the Coronavirus SARS panic we had 27 cases and 0 deaths in the U.S. in the year 2017. No deaths then and no deaths since.


5. Now let’s stop and at the same time take a hard look at INFLUENZA virus in the U.S. CDC says there have been 18,000 to 46,000 deaths from influenza virus in the U.S. so far this influenza virus year. 


6. INFLUENZA VIRUS IN U.S. 1,000,000+ sick with influenza virus in the U.S. this year. 


7. INFLUENZA VIRUS IN U.S. 400,000+ hospitalized with influenza virus in the U.S. this year. A hospital administrator friend of mine says the hospitals are stressed because of the great number of influenza virus cases.


8. INFLUENZA VIRUS IN U.S. 60,000 deaths are expected from influenza virus in the U.S. this year.


9. Perhaps more precisely, the CDC estimates that since 2010 influenza virus has resulted in 


10. between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, 


11. between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and 


12. between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010.


13. Hey, folks, and especially you politicians and those who run the CDC, that means between 120,000 to 600,000 will have died from INFLUENZA VIRUS SINCE 2010. 


14. BARREL, it sure does looks like we have the media panic cart before the politicians’ panic horse.


15. My friend’s granddaughter has INFLUENZA B so I checked this out and I’m pretty sure the numbers are in the ballpark. 


16. PORK, it sure looks like INFLUENZA has been and still is the  “hidden” pandemic in the U.S., a pandemic not addressed on Obama’s watch or Bush’s watch. Why the reticence is a question that deserves research.


17. Sounds like those in charge of the CDC either a) need to be removed from office and someone appointed who will focus not just on media politician panic COVID-19 coronavirus but also on this “hidden pandemic” INFLUENZA VIRUS issue or b) those currently in charge at CDC need to be tasked with gathering real numbers and reporting  to POTUS TRUMP and the nation and c) more importantly take serious steps to cut INFLUENZA deaths – beyond simply saying “get your flu shot.”


18. Yes, PORK, I talked to one local health official and she said they do not count deaths of adults from influenza which sounds bazaar to me.


19. You are right, BARREL. If you don’t have the precise numbers it makes it difficult to work on solving the problem.


20. And while we are at it, BARREL, it certainly looks like the stock market has been manipulated with this media politician driven coronavirus panic. Someone needs to take a hard look at that one for sure.

Did the Coronavirus leak from the Chinese bioresearch/bioweapons lab in Wuhan, China? BARREL & PORK. We report. You decide.

1.     BARREL, I just read this article from New York Post and now I ask the same question. Did the Corona virus leak from a Chinese bioresearch/bioweapons lab?

2.     Take a look at the following analysis. BARREL & PORK.

3.     We report. You decide.

4.     Don’t buy China’s story: The corona virus may have leaked from a lab

5.     By Steven W. Mosher

6.     February 22, 2020 | 11:18am | Updated Read    https://nypost.com/2020/02/22/dont-buy-chinas-story-the-coronavirus-may-have-leaked-from-a-lab/  …

8.     “At an emergency meeting in Beijing held last Friday, Chinese leader Xi Jinping spoke about the need to contain the coronavirus and set up a system to prevent similar epidemics in the future.

9.     “A national system to control biosecurity risks must be put in place “to protect the people’s health,” Xi said, because lab safety is a “national security” issue.

10. “Xi didn’t actually admit that the coronavirus now devastating large swaths of China had escaped from one of the country’s bioresearch labs. But the very next day, evidence emerged suggesting that this is exactly what happened, as the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology released a new directive titled: “Instructions on strengthening biosecurity management in microbiology labs that handle advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus.”

11. Read that again. It sure sounds like China has a problem keeping dangerous pathogens in test tubes where they belong, doesn’t it? And just how many “microbiology labs” are there in China that handle “advanced viruses like the novel coronavirus”?

12. It turns out that in all of China, there is only one. And this one is located in the Chinese city of Wuhan that just happens to be … the epicenter of the epidemic.

13. That’s right. China’s only Level 4 microbiology lab that is equipped to handle deadly coronaviruses, called the National Biosafety Laboratory, is part of the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

14. … What’s more, the People’s Liberation Army’s top expert in biological warfare, a Maj. Gen. Chen Wei, was dispatched to Wuhan at the end of January to help with the effort to contain the outbreak.

15. According to the PLA Daily, Chen has been researching corona viruses since the SARS outbreak of 2003, as well as Ebola and anthrax. This would not be her first trip to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, either, since it is one of only two bioweapons research labs in all of China.

16. Does that suggest to you that the novel coronavirus, now known as SARS-CoV-2, may have escaped from that very lab, and that Chen’s job is to try to put the genie back in the bottle, as it were? It does to me.

17. Add to this China’s history of similar incidents. Even the deadly SARS virus has escaped — twice — from the Beijing lab where it was (and probably is) being used in experiments. Both “man-made” epidemics were quickly contained, but neither would have happened at all if proper safety precautions had been taken.

18. And then there is this little-known fact: Some Chinese researchers are in the habit of selling their laboratory animals to street vendors after they have finished experimenting on them.

19. You heard me right.

20. Instead of properly disposing of infected animals by cremation, as the law requires, they sell them on the side to make a little extra cash. Or, in some cases, a lot of extra cash. One Beijing researcher, now in jail, made a million dollars selling his monkeys and rats on the live animal market, where they eventually wound up in someone’s stomach.

21. Enlarge ImageMembers of a police sanitation team spray disinfectant as a preventive measure against the spread of the coronavirus.AFP via Getty Images

22. Also fueling suspicions about SARS-CoV-2’s origins is the series of increasingly lame excuses offered by the Chinese authorities as people began to sicken and die.

23. They first blamed a seafood market not far from the Institute of Virology, even though the first documented cases of Covid-19 (the illness caused by SARS-CoV-2) involved people who had never set foot there.

24. Then they pointed to snakes, bats and even a cute little scaly anteater called a pangolin as the source of the virus.

25. I don’t buy any of this. It turns out that snakes don’t carry coronaviruses and that bats aren’t sold at a seafood market. Neither, for that matter, are pangolins, an endangered species valued for their scales as much as for their meat.

26. The evidence points to SARS-CoV-2 research being carried out at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. The virus may have been carried out of the lab by an infected worker or crossed over into humans when they unknowingly dined on a lab animal. Whatever the vector, Beijing authorities are now clearly scrambling to correct the serious problems with the way their labs handle deadly pathogens.

27. [It looks like] China has unleashed a plague on its own people. It’s too early to say how many in China and other countries will ultimately die for the failures of their country’s state-run microbiology labs, but the human cost will be high.

28. Steven W. Mosher is the president of the Population Research Institute and the author of “Bully of Asia: Why China’s ‘Dream’ Is the New Threat to World Order.”

29. Looks like heads will roll at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

We report. You decide. BARREL & PORK.

34. Doing little or nothing to secure our borders and help fund and build the wall boomeranged.

35. Doing little or nothing to help fund and improve our infrastructure boomeranged.

36. Doing little or nothing to help reduce regulations and get rid of political corrrectness boomeranged.

37. Doing little or nothing to help reduce costs of health care boomeranged.

38. Overall, doing nothing to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS boomeranged.

39. PORK, we told the democrats how to win elections but they wouldn’t believe us.

40. We told them why POTUS TRUMP continues to win and has such high approval ratings and will win a second term.

41. Remind me, BARREL.

42. We told them multiple times, “ALL THE DEMOCRATS NEED TO DO TO WIN ELECTIONS AND BEAT POTUS TRUMP IS STOP CRITICIZING POTUS TRUMP AND HELP US BE FREE, SAFE, AND PROSPEROUS and jettison all of the consultants telling them otherwise.”

43. Not going to happen, BARREL.

44. They are obsessed with TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.

45. Besides, just before the election it would be too little too late if they are so inclined to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.

46. POTUS TRUMP has already done that and in the process has beaten the democrats at what they thought was their own game.

47. The democrats under Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler have done little or nothing for us except trash the constitutional impeachment power and spend in excess of $30 million of our hard earned money and waste our time for several years in these foolish investigations and impeachment hearings.

48. During the same time, POTUS TRUMP, who was acquitted on all counts, has helped Native Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, Caucasian Americans, Hispanic Americans, Catholic Americans, Evangelical Americans, Latter-day Saint Americans, Seventh Day Adventist Americans, all American sports enthusiasts, all American military personnel, all Americans be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS

DID NANCY PELOSI COMMIT A FELONY WHEN SHE RIPPED UP THE STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS? If so, should she be prosecuted? We report. You decide. BARREL & PORK.

1. PORK, Nancy Pelosi mutilated the signed State of the Union address when she ripped it up.

2. Did she commit a felony in doing so? 

3. 18 U.S. Code § 2071.Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally [reads]

·       U.S. Code

 (a)

Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

(b)

Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States

4. BARREL, it looks like she did commit a felony. What do you our readers think? Do you think she ought to be prosecuted? We report. You decide.

Glenn Beck drops hydrogen bomb on democrats including Bidens and democrats. Claims they have been criminally money laundering our tax dollars to fund a proxy war against Russia and to enrich themselves. True or False? We report. You decide.

(c) ™ 2016 -2020

1. So BARREL, Glenn Beck dropped a hydrogen bomb on the democrats last night. Do you think Glenn Beck is right?

2. Glenn Beck has opinions about many things.

3. PORK, coming on the heals of total acquittal of POTUS TRUMP, Glenn dropped a hydrogen bomb on Joe and Hunter Biden and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and John Kerry and other democrats last night, a bomb blast from which the democrat party likely will never recover if true.

4. He showed us last night on his show a democrat Profile in Corruption that is a million times worse than Nixon’s Watergate ever hoped to be. 

5. What Glenn showed us is what he says is evidence that Joe Biden and his son Hunter and Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton and John Kerry and other high level state department and CIA and FBI government officials and non-government people including at least one oligarch from Ukraine have been participating in a corrupt secret criminal multi- billion dollar money laundering operation using our tax dollars at the very least through Burisma and an Oligarch in Ukraine and a Ukraine bank.

6. BARREL, if that is true, that certainly is treason. It is high crimes and misdemeanor criminal activity and conduct. It is real obstruction of Congress. It is real abuse of power. Why on earth would the people Glenn mentioned do that?

7. PORK, Glenn says these people have done so in secret and they are doing so in secret without congressional approval in order to buy arms and fund a secret Proxy War against Russia and in the process some of them and their family members and cronies have secretly personally gotten rich – see Profiles in Corruption – and at the same time serious amounts of these secretly laundered U.S. government funds. our tax dollars, have been secretly funneled back into the DNC and to democrat candidates and democrat campaigns.


8. BARREL, this sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. If it is true though, if Glenn is correct, this explains so much.


9. How so, PORK?


10. BARREL, if this is true, it explains many if not all of the real reasons why the democrats from before his inauguration were bent on impeaching POTUS TRUMP and were and still are so over the top vociferous about Putin Russia collusion. 


11. This is a far more reasonable explanation. It is not so much that they don’t like POTUS TRUMP, it is that they fear and indeed are terrified that he and AG Barr and John Durham and Rudy Giuliani and others know and are on to them.


12. The anti-POTUS TRUMP media has focused our attention on the idea that all this impeachment is about the simple fact that Hillary lost the election. In hindsight, now, and if Glenn is correct, simple loss of an election is not the compelling reason for all the heat POTUS TRUMP and his family and the nation have been experiencing since POTUS TRUMP was elected. 


13. If it is true that these people have been criminally laundering billion(s) of our hard earned tax money , fear, indeed the sheer terror, of getting caught criminally money laundering our tax dollars to fund a secret proxy war against Russia and enrich themselves and fund the DNC and democrat candidates is a far more compelling reason for all the still ongoing vitriol. If true, they are afraid and actually terrified because they have done wrong and committed treason and high crimes against America.


14. I mean, if this is true and they are in fact secretly funding a proxy war against Russia can you even begin to quantify the unconstitutionality and the sheer stupidity and extreme risk to Americans and the world?

15. If this is true, it explains why Joe Biden was giving Ukraine and a criminal Oligarch huge money and as this unravels it may be and begin to explain the real reason why POTUS OBAMA and Joe gave Iran billions during the month before they left office.

16. If this is true, Glenn’s presentation begins to explain why Hunter Biden was involved on the board of Burisma the Oligarch company’s board. This is not just a simple story of a Vice President’s kid ending up in Ukraine on the board of a corrupt company Burisma owned by the same criminal Oligarch who received U.S. billions as part of the criminal money laundering scheme.

17. If this is true, it explains why the DNC and Schiff and Nadler and Pelosi and Schumer and CIA people are so terrified and intent on accusing POTUS TRUMP of Russian collusion and why they impeached him. This suggests that they know about and even may have participated in the criminal money laundering thru Ukraine to fund the proxy war against Russia. They may have been participants and recipients. They are complicit if they knew. They are co-conspirators if they knew and took laundered U.S. money.

18. If this is true, it may explain why POTUS Obama and Hillary have all but disappeared and been so quiet.

19. If this is true, as the web unravels it may explain in part the millions if not billions funneled to the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation.

20. If this is true, there are a number of highest level people who deserve to be wearing felony treason striped jump suits for many years to come. If true, this starts to explain Vinman and the Ukraine ambassador and Bolton.

21. If this is true, it explains why Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and the democrats have been off the charts angry and fearful of POTUS TRUMP talking to Putin outside of their presence – beside themselves wanting to know what was said between the two men.

22. If this is true, it does explain Vinman and John Bolton because they knew and participated. It likely even explains the Whistleblower. It likely explains Bolton’s firing. At the same time somebody ought to look into where Bernie Sanders got his millions.

23. If this is true, it explains the true reasons for POTUS TRUMP’S Ukraine calls. If he was withholding aid at all, and hoping for an investigation, he would have been doing so in order to further document the secret criminal money laundering and secret criminal funding of a proxy war against Russia.

24. If this is true, it [criminal money laundering] may also explain how and where Barack Obama got the funding to win the election and beat Romney and how other Senators and congress persons got and get their campaign funding. It may even explain how Bernie got so rich. And it may explain much of the media vitriol and fake news if the media network leadership knew where the multi-millions in advertising and PR money was coming from.

25. If this is true, it may also tie back to George Soros and the globalist agenda.

26. If this is true, this may also begin to explain why no-experience Hunter Biden got $1.5 billion from China. Glenn says he is going to explain this one next week. He and his team claim to have followed the money. Glenn claims he is going to tell us where the $1.5 billion from China went. I’m going to guess that the $1.5 billion was not hedge fund money at all.

27. If this is true, it explains why Schiff and Nadler and Pelosi and Schumer and the Podestas and the DNC and other congress people and senators and why the anti-TRUMP media have pushed Russia Collusion, Russia Collusion, Russia Collusion, Quid Pro Quo, Bribery, and other charges against POTUS TRUMP.

28. If this is true, it is once again on the part of the democrats a blatant case of Saul Alinsky 101 accuse your opponent of what you are doing.

29. Yes, BARREL, and if this is true, if they have been criminally money laundering billions of our tax dollars to fund a criminal proxy war against Russia, Senator Chuck Grassley and Senator Lindsey Graham and AG Barr and John Durham and all of the media including those that have been anti-TRUMP for so long better double down and check out Glenn Beck’s hydrogen bomb presentation carefully and if true we can only hope they will stand up and be counted and bring those people who are responsible to justice. 


30. PORK, I’ll bet POTUS TRUMP and AG Barr and John Durham already know all of this. AG Barr and Rudy Giuliani have flown to countries to get the facts. I can’t imagine that they do not already know all of this. Let’s see what they do about it. If true, hopefully they won’t wait too long to eliminate any thought of two-tiered justice.

31. We report. You decide.

Bottom line day 1 Impeachment trial? Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, Schumer are on trial not POTUS Trump. BARREL & PORK.

1. BARREL, what is your take away after this first day of the Impeachment Trial in the Senate?

2. My take, is this PORK – POTUS Trump was well within his rights in his dealings with Ukraine and the House. There is no proof of wrongdoing.

3. There is no proof of Russia collusion, of quid pro quo, or obstruction of justice, or obstruction of congress.

4. Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer are on trial, not POTUS Trump. 

5. Schiff, Nadler, and Pelosi have failed to make their partisan case. All four have wasted our time and money and in the process failed their own constituencies completely.

6. While these four continue to waste our money and time, POTUS Trump is helping us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.

7. The dark perfidiousness of Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer, in trying to remove a sitting president for political advantage, is now brought into the light of day for the Senate, the nation, and the world to condemn.


8. Yes, BARREL. I agree with you. Let’s vote the four out of office and send them packing. I’m forecasting a POTUS Trump rout in the fall.

LAWSUIT TO SUPREME COURT AGAINST NANCY, ADAM, JERRY, CHUCK, AND DEMOCRATS FOR POTUS ABUSE.

1. BARREL, I read POTUS Trump’s 6 page letter to Nancy Pelosi. 

2. POTUS TRUMP sets the record straight. 

3. Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer and their cronies are guilty of POTUS Abuse and will go down in history with significant egg-opprobrium on their faces.

4. Read POTUS TRUMP’S six page letter. https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Letter-from-President-Trump-final.pdf

5. I already read it, PORK. 

6. My recommendation? POTUS TRUMP HAS ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE HE HAS YET TO USE. 

7. What alternative is that, Barrel?

8. PORK, We have three branches of government. In this case, where the Nancy and the House legislature are running roughshod over POTUS TRUMP, the Supreme Court is in place for a reason and is the proper arbiter.

9. MY ANTIDOTE? 

10. POTUS TRUMP should appeal directly to the Supreme Court before the matter goes to the Senate and shut Adam’s and Jerry’s and Nancy’s and Chuck’s charade down. 

11. There is no evidence of obstruction of congress or abuse of power on the part of POTUS TRUMP. 

12. The function of the Supreme Court is to evaluate just such “legal” situations and establish the scope of matters like impeachment as found in the constitution and resolve them. 

13. In this case the Supreme Court has the power to issue an injunction and sanctions on Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and other parties thus stopping this abuse of a sitting president by an individual or party. 

14. All POTUS TRUMP has to do is file for a ruling and injunction thus asking the Supreme Court for the help.

15. I know an old civil and criminal attorney. His philosophy is simple. “So sue me. But know this. I will be right back at you with a set of counterclaims that eclipse your claims.”

POTUS ABUSE by Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer. Barrel & Pork.

Barrel & Pork

1. You four – Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer – have ineptly wasted several years of our time and millions of dollars with your misguided animus and impeachment hearings and the four of you are guilty of POTUS ABUSE.

2. During the years since POTUS Trump was elected, you have spent all of your time criticizing POTUS Trump while doing nothing to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS and in the process have violated your oaths of office and

failed your California and other constituencies and the nation in general. Once again your efforts to harm POTUS Trump have turned into an impeachment nothingburger and boomerang back at ya.

3. We predict a 2020 landslide for POTUS Trump because of your misguided investigations and animus and costly impeachment actions against him. We believe his real poll numbers are 80-90% now and given the way you have abused him it is obvious to us that the four of you are guilty of collusion against the POTUS and you four are also guilty of POTUS ABUSE and we call for your resignations. 

4. The idea that POTUS Trump abused power is ludicrous given his letters and interaction with Ukraine which show: 

a.      NO HIGH CRIME!

b.      NO MISDEMEANOR!

c.       NO COLLUSION!

d.       NO OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE!

e.       NO  QUID PRO QUO!

f.        NO EXTORTION!

g.       NO BRIBERY!

h.       NO VIOLATION OF OATH OF OFFICE!

i.        NO WITHHOLDING OF AID TO UKRAINE!

j.        NO ABUSE OF POWER!

k.       NO CAUSE FOR IMPEACHMENT OR CENSURE!

l.        NO INDICATION POTUS TRUMP withheld military aid or anything from President Zelenskyy and Ukraine in return for an investigation of corruption – including an investigation into Burisma company and Joe and his son!

m.        In fact, in conversation with POTUS Trump President Zelenskyy says he/Ukraine is just about ready to buy Javelins!

n.    The fact is both men have a very low opinion of Ambassador Ivanovich and POTUS Trump is not faulted if he replaced her!

o.      We have a mutual effort on the part of POTUS TRUMP and President Zelenskyy to work together and to reign in and eliminate corruption – and this with the help of prosecutor(s) in Ukraine and Mr. Giuliani and AG Barr — looking into corruption including looking into Burisma and Joe and his son and the China billion plus graft to Joe’s son and to Joe. If Joe withheld U.S. aid to Ukraine in return for the firing of the prosecutor looking into Burisma and Joe’s son – which Joe admitted and laughed at – and if Joe’s son and Joe got a billion plus from the Chinese, trace the money to Joe’s and his son’s various accounts including any hidden ones, Joe needs to admit his perfidy and quit his sham political race.

p.      While the phone call transcript exonerates POTUS TRUMP, nothing to-date exonerates Joe or his son or you four.

5. The idea that POTUS Trump obstructed congress with a few tweets or refusal to dignify your one sided charade with witnesses is ludicrous. You four are the ones who have obstructed congress by preventing republican witnesses from testifying and by holding secret hearings. You four are the ones who are guilty of POTUS ABUSE, obstruction of congress, and abuse of power. All members of the house need to vote no on impeachment and stop this political madness and focus on helping us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS.

Have Adam and Nancy and their crony democrats and republicans failed us miserably? Yes. BARREL & PORK.

1. BARREL, have Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi and their crony democrats and republicans failed us miserably and in the process underestimated POTUS Trump?

2. Yes, PORK, they have and they still are failing us miserably and they are still underestimating POTUS Trump.

3. How so, BARREL?

4. PORK, Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi and their crony democrats and republicans have now wasted months of their and our time and much more than $30 million of our tax money on a failed now boomeranged Russia narrative and Mueller Report and impeachment narrative, caring not one whit for us but only for themselves and their antagonism toward POTUS Trump.

5. In business, Adam and Nancy and their crony democrats and republicans would be ousted from the company for failing to build the company, wasting time, while intentionally losing $30 million plus as they have done.

6. Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi and their crony democrats and republicans are not builders.

7. Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi and their crony democrats and republicans have done everything to tear down and nothing to build our country.

8. They have failed us miserably. In the process they have violated their oath of office.

9. They have wasted our time and our money and our trust. They have failed to help us be free, safe, and prosperous.

10. Nancy has failed her own San Francisco district which has gone down, down, down. Who would want to visit San Francisco given its lack of attention to hygiene.

11. For her dereliction of duty, Nancy should know she is in serious danger of being outed by a smart political competitor and a thinking San Francisco electorate.

12. Likewise, Adam Schiff has done nothing of consequence to help his California district. He has wasted his time and our time and our money in this foolish vendetta against POTUS Trump.

13. In the meantime, POTUS Trump has cared for us by keeping more than 300 of his promises he made to us including building the wall (Keep in mind that the Mexican government at last note had 27000 troops on the border helping us block illegal entry to the country – Mexico is paying for a human wall.). POTUS Trump has helped all of us Americans – BLACKs and HISPANICs, JEWs and NATIVE AMERICANS, WHITEs and ASIAN AMERICANS – be free. safe. and prosperous. He is responsible for one of the best American economies and stock markets in history.

14. I’ll say it again, if Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi and their crony democrats and republicans want to win elections and be of any value to us the electorate, they have got to fire the ad agencies and pr agencies and consultants and lawyers who are conning them into prolonging this impeachment garbage.

15. We are over the tipping point sick and tired of Nancy’s and Adam’s and their crony democrat and republican misguided false narratives and collusion to take down a president of the United States.

16. If they want our votes, Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi and their crony democrats and republicans need to do an about face and focus on helping us be free, safe, and prosperous and stop all of this nonsense impeachment waste of money and time. That is what a thinking electorate wants and will vote for.

Where are AG Bill Barr? Attorney John Durham? John Huber? BARREL & PORK

(C) 2019

1. PORK, looking at the political landscape today, where are

2. AG Bill Barr and

3. attorney John Durham and

4. attorney John Huber?

5. BARREL, I don’t know.

6. Haven’t heard from them.

7. PORK, it seems to me given the fact that the democrats consistently accuse POTUS Trump of exactly what they have already done or are doing, it is time to hear from Mr. Barr and Mr. Durham and Mr. Huber now. These accusations have drawn on for way too long. Who started all this POTUS Trump Russian Collusion and Obstruction of Justice nonsense anyway?

8. If Hillary Clinton

9. and if former POTUS Bill Clinton,

10. and if Joe Biden and his son

11. and John Kerry and his son

12. and former POTUS Obama

13. and James Comey

14. and James Clapper

15. and John Brennan

16. and Andy McCabe

17. and Debbie Wasserman Schultz

18. and the DNC

19. and others

20. are guilty of conspiring with each other to take out a sitting POTUS or otherwise or

21. collusion with the Russians or Chinese or others

22. or with obstruction of justice

23. by destroying evidence emails or documents or using fake FISA warrants or the like

24. or with corruption including

25. corruptly exonerating the guilty or

26. corruptly enriching themselves or violating campaign finance rules

27. using their government offices or political influence,

28. then indictments need to be issued

29. now not later.

30. If not,

31. then these people and others

32. need to be freed from the albatross

33. of public opinion

34. and threat of criminal action

35. or civil action.

36. If so, then those guilty should be held accountable.

Did Biden lose the democrat primary the other night? Looks like it. BARREL & PORK.

PORK, what are your thoughts following the third debate? Has Biden fallen apart and lost the democrat primary?

Yes, BARREL. The democratic leadership needs to pay attention. He produced 9 gaffes, lies, and awkward moments just in this 3rd primary debate. 5 Examples – he referred to Bernie Sanders as “president,” couldn’t keep his false teeth straight, was lost in time, rambled, referred to himself as Congressman when he never served. He lost in 1988. He lost in 2008. List and catalogue his erratic responses and behaviors and Las Vegas heavy odds are now that he is hopelessly lost in 2019.

Looking beyond primaries, and most importantly, for the past years since POTUS Trump took office, the democrats have done nothing to help us be free, safe, and prosperous. All they have done is criticize and find fault when in fact it was Hillary who colluded with the Russians and obstructed justice in several ways.

Will POTUS Trump win in 2020? BARREL & PORK.

BARREL & PORK.
(c) Linford Corporation 2019

BARREL, will POTUS Trump win in 2020?

PORK, of course he will. No president in history has done more for the common man than POTUS Trump. Besides the networks whether for or against POTUS Trump are making billions off him. They won’t permit him to lose.

Video Steve Jobs agrees with POTUS Trump. Steve speaks to democrats and republicans.

BARREL, this video of Steve Jobs says it all. Steve speaks from beyond the veil of death to us. He really describes what POTUS Trump is doing and Steve says to the democrats and equally to the republicans where their focus ought to be if they are to be relevant in this world.

So everybody chill out and take a good look at what Steve says and how he responds to an insult and overlay this on the current approach of so many people in dealing with and misunderstanding POTUS Trump.

https://www.inc.com/justin-bariso/20-years-ago-steve-jobs-demonstrated-the-perfect-w.html

BARREL, all POTUS TRUMP and FLOTUS TRUMP are saying to the naysayer critics in both parties, including Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, as well to any who are obvious communists and socialists, as well to all of the media, Hannity, Carlson, Maddow, CNN anchors, MSNBC anchors, Fox News anchors, Drudge, Breitbart, WSJ, New York Times, Infowars, the list goes on and on, all POTUS TRUMP and FLOTUS TRUMP are saying is:

“HELP US AMERICANS BE FREE, SAFE, AND PROSPEROUS OR GET OUT OF THE WAY!”

Right on, PORK.  Right on!

We suggest Governor Jay Inslee may give POTUS Trump a run for his money. Then again, if POTUS Trump builds the wall, no one can beat him. BARREL & PORK.

BARREL, are you interested in voting for Joe Biden? No, PORK. I have 103 reasons not to. 


Then BARREL, who has a chance of beating POTUS Trump in 2020?

PORK, I follow the news regularly – Fox, Wall Street Journal, The Economist, Drudge, Breitbart,  New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc., and I have no interest whatsoever in voting for Joe. 


I find the following negatives about Joe in the news in one form or another:

1.       Joe is a gaffe disaster waiting to happen. His 1973 full audio has shown up with his “politicians are more virtuous than doctors,” his slavery joke, his woman joke, his self-praise repeatedly, his admission that he is a “phony liberal.”

2.       He’s a career federal government  politician.

3.       Amy Lappos, the congressional aide accused him of inappropriately touching her.

4.       He’s ancient.

5.       Anita Hill sexual harassment inquisition on his watch was a debacle.

6.       He apologizes for mishandling things thereby admitting he mishandled things.

7.       His apologies are too little too late.

8.       Biden’s brother and the $1.5 billion government contract conflict of interest looms large.

9.       Biden’s son, Hunter, joining the board of the Ukrainian gas producer conflict of interest looms way too large.

10.   Biden’s son Hunter’s with the $billion from China intersects Joe’s political office conflict of interest according to Peter Sweizer.

11.   He is big on paid speaking gigs.

12.   He bragged about his role in policies that have devastated black communities.

13.   Caitlyn Caruso is on record that he inappropriately touched her.

14.   He can’t keep his hands off young girls.

15.   His China conflicts are fatal.

16.   He claimed he was a civil rights activist when he wasn’t.

17.   Now he’s tied to a climate plan plagiarism “scandal.”

18.   He had to know and thus was complicit in FISA surveillance of POTUS Trump. One news note says his National Security Advisor was present in the Oval office with Obama so Joe could be kept up to speed when the Russian narrative and surveillance and “take down of Trump” was discussed and furthered. From Isikoff and Corn new book: Susan Rice, Obama’s national security adviser, chaired the principals meeting, which the authors write included Kahl, who served as Biden’s national security adviser from October 2014 to January 2017. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/06/06/book-joe-bidens-national-security-advisor-participated-in-secretive-early-russia-probe-meetings/

19.   Joe was complicit in all of Obama’s failed policies. E.g. the health care debacle – the you can keep your own provider prevarication.

20.   He apparently unsuccessfully considered running for president five times.

21.   He carries the name Creepy Uncle Joe.

22.   Creepy is a hard name to live down.

23.   D.J. Hill is another woman who is on record accusing him.

24.   He packs decades of old school negative political baggage.

25.   He can’t point to anything of real value he did while he was Vice President – before or after.

26.   He failed in his run for President in 1984.

27.   He failed in his run for President in 1988.

28.   He failed in his run for President in 2008.

29.   The party just did not rise to the occasion and support him which tells me when push finally comes to shove Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and the rest of the DNC and the party won’t do so this time either.

30.   He now pushes the false narrative that he is “the most progressive candidate” which he is not.

31.   Per Peter Sweizer, he is really just focused on money making ventures.

32.   He can’t help drain the swamp and get rid of corruption in Washington because he is the inside player who is up to his elbows in the swamp of corruption in Washington.

33.   He can’t fix the mess in Washington because he is the personification of the mess in Washington.

34.   He can’t run on Obama’s legacy because Obama thinly if at all endorses him and besides Obama has a highly questionable legacy.

35.   He failed relative to Iraq.

36.   He failed relative to Libya Ben Ghazi.

37.   One news account says he helped give us ISIS.

38.   He did indeed given the fact that he helped Obama give the Iranians billions which they use to fund their military and fight us by sponsoring terrorism.

39.   He is a repeat of the H. Clinton debacle.

40.   He is an Iraq hawk guilty of spending trillions of our money down the middle east military industrial complex rat hole.

41.   He is in the banking industry pockets.

42.   He is old.

43.   He is the Bill Clinton look alike although without the cigar.

44.   He is the Democratic party run by and for white men.

45.   He is the Hillary Clinton failed candidate.

46.   He is the worst candidate for democrats.

47.   He is too little too late when it comes to reinventing himself.

48.   He keeps showing us pictures of himself when he was young as though he wants us to think of him as young when he is not.

49.   He is uniquely ill-suited as a leader.

50.   All this again because he symbolizes the old Democratic party.

51.   One news source says he’s just another buckraker like the Clintons.

52.   His contrived “will-he-won’t-he” announcement was a joke.

53.   Again, his last presidential campaign crashed and burned.

54.   His presidential campaign before that crashed and burned.

55.   His promises are not worth much. Just look at:

56.   His record on abortion – flip flopper – now he’s against – now he’s for – after criticism from Planned Parenthood — whatever will tease a vote. 

57.   His record on busing

58.   His record on Blacks and civil liberties

59.   His record on immigration

60.   His record on mass incarceration

61.   His record on war

62.   He is the inappropriate touching Presidential candidate.

63.   He is the insider veteran who is part of the problem not part of the solution.

64.   He is the kissed senator’s teenage daughter on side of head

candidate who says I won’t do it again.

65.   He misused his office by leaning on the Ukrainians to fire their top prosecutor just as their top prosecutor was set to investigate the gas company which included his son Hunter.

66.   Lucy Flores is on record accusing him.

67.   Through the years he has moaned about government spending yet has done nothing to curb it.

68.   He can’t point to his past and say “I am a statesman.”

69.   In fact, he has a muddy past.

70.   He has a murky past.

71.   He carries no future media $ value to Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, Drudge, Breitbart, Infowars while POTUS Trump for or against is worth billions and billions to them.

72.   He is not a fresh face.

73.   He is not a reformer.

74.   He simply is not inspiring.

75.   He was not especially popular during Obama’s time in office.

76.   He is one of the oldest candidates.

77.   He is one of the worst candidates.

78.   He is part of the deep establishment state.

79.   He is that quintessential professional politician.

80.   He has a questionable endorsement from Obama.

81.   He is ridiculed for his many gaffes.

82.   He is ridiculed for his political I’m going to beat Trump up machismo.

83.   He is an out of touch with reality senior citizen.

84.   He is a stereotypical old school Democrat.

85.   There is nothing extraordinary about his career.

86.   His Ukrainian conflicts are fatal.

87.   His Chinese conflicts are fatal.

88.   He is Uncle Joe.

89.   He is uniquely ill-suited as a leader.

90.   He used his office to enrich himself and his family.

91.   He voted for NAFTA.

92.   He voted for Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act which put an inordinate number of people of color in jails for drug-related offenses.

93.   He voted to support the ill-conceived invasion of Iraq in 2002 that cost America untold treasure.

94.   His voting record is discriminatory

95.   He is best known for whispering in the ear of a senator’s teenage daughter.

96.   It looks like he may be in bed with the DNC which is again seeking to marginalize Bernie.

97.   He has no capacity to go toe to toe with the young candidates.

98.   He has little capacity to keep us free.

99.   He has little capacity to help keep us safe.

100.           He has little capacity to help us be prosperous.

101.           He is running on the tired, worn out, negative, wasteful Schumer and Pelosi platform of bashing POTUS Trump.

102.           His thought about mediating between republicans and democrats and “calming the nation” is eyewash.

103.           PORK, these above thoughts are the messages I am finding over and over in the media. I suppose you can argue “fake news.” I suppose you can argue “not true.” Regardless of true or false enough of them are true. Besides:

104.          Joe has no chance of beating POTUS Trump because POTUS Trump is one of the few presidents who has kept his campaign promises. POTUS Trump has kept more than 300 of his campaign promises and it looks like POTUS Trump will even make serious progress on the wall despite the fact that the democrats have withheld funding and support for the wall.

105.           My conclusion, PORK, is this.

106.            Joe has no chance of beating POTUS Trump because Joe can’t point to one positive promise he has kept over his long career that helps us be free, safe, and prosperous today.

107.           He has no chance of beating POTUS Trump because the media is making billions of dollars if not trillions collectively off the POTUS Trump gravy train. And they will continue to do so after POTUS Trump is reelected.

108.           A number of these same thoughts apply to Bernie

as well.

109.           BARREL, who then among democrats can beat POTUS Trump in 2020, BARREL?

110.           Well, I’m not certain anyone can. But let’s at least look at the others in the democrat field.

111.            PORK. I will narrow the field to my four picks.

112.           I think the democrats need to take a hard look at Julian Castro, Kamala Harris, Jay Inslee, and Amy Klobuchar not in that order.

113.           And of the four, BARREL?

114.           I think the democrats will be well advised to field Jay Inslee for President with Amy Klobuchar or Julian Castro as Vice President.

115.           The current list:

116.           Michael Bennet.

117.           Bill de Blasio

118.           Cory Booker

119.           Steve Bullock

120.           Pet Buttigieg

121.           Julian Castro

122.           John Delaney

123.           Tulsi Gabbard

124.           Kirsten Gillibrand

126.           Kamala Harris

127.           John Hickenlooper

128.           Jay Inslee

129.           Amy Klobuchar

130.           Wayne Messam

131.           Seth Moulton

132.           Beto O’Rourke

133.           Tim Ryan

134.           Bernie Sanders

135.           Eric Swalwell

136.           Elizabeth Warren

137.           Bill Weld

138.           Marianne Williamson

139.           Andrew Yang

What 5 Steps can POTUS Trump take to guarantee he will only serve one term? BARREL & PORK

PORK, what steps can POTUS Trump take to guarantee that he will be a one term president?


BARREL, I think POTUS Trump can guarantee that he will be a one term president if he fails to keep us FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS, if he fails to clearly show the nation all the promises he has kept. 


[YOU MAY WANT TO BUY RICHARD LINFORD’S NEW BOOK “RECUSAL OF JEFF SESSIONS! RECUSAL OF MATTHEW WHITAKER?]

In particular, he can guarantee that he will be a one term president simply by taking all or some combination of the following five steps:


STEP 1. IMMIGRATION. Fail to control the border and stop the invasion and fail to build the wall as he promised. 


STEP 2. ABORTION. Fail to protect the BLACK, HISPANIC, JEWISH, NATIVE AMERICAN, ASIAN AMERICAN, CAUCASIAN AMERICAN unborn as he promised.** 


3. JOBS AND TAXES. Fail to keep front and center the message to BLACKS and HISPANICS and ALL OTHER AMERICAS that he is helping them with jobs and tax breaks as he promised. 


4. RULE OF LAW. Fail to indict and prosecute and bring to justice those including rich and famous who have aggrandized and enriched themselves by prostituting their elected or appointed offices as he promised. 


5. MESSAGE. Fail to show and teach the nation’s Republican and Democrat WOMEN, MEN, YOUTH, BLACKS, HISPANICS, JEWISH AMERICANS, NATIVE AMERICANS, ASIAN AMERICANS, CAUCASIAN AMERICANS all of the promises he has kept and the immense good he has done during his term in office.


** Since democrat founded Roe v Wade in 1973 more than 300,000,000+ unborn American babies have been surgically and chemically murdered, killed, flushed, sent to land fills, sold for body parts, aborted: 50,000,000+ of the 300,000,000+ were BLACK babies. 50,000,000+ were HISPANIC babies.

Foreword. Some accept Jeff Sessions’ recusal at face value while such should not be the case. Judging Jeff Sessions’ recusal by what politicians and political groups did and do, by the effect of their votes and actions, not simplistically by what they say, suggests that AG Sessions’ recusal was  engineered to the extreme harm of POTUS TRUMP.  Acting AG Matthew Whitaker would be remiss to recuse himself and POTUS Trump would be remiss to let him.

RECUSAL OF JEFF SESSIONS! OF MATTHEW WHITAKER?

Was the AG Sessions’ recusal falsely engineered to the extreme harm of Jeff Sessions and POTUS TRUMP? Yes. Should Acting AG Whitaker recuse himself? No.

 

  1. RECUSAL DEFINED?
  2. “Judicial disqualification, also referred to as recusal, is the act of abstaining from participation in an official action such as a legal proceeding due to a conflict of interest of the presiding court official or administrative officer. “
  3. https://www.google.com/search?q=recusal&oq=Recusal&aqs=chrome.0.0l6.1520j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_disqualification
  4. Another definition. “The verb recuse is used in legal situations and means to remove someone from a position of judicial authority, either a judge or a member of a jury, who is deemed unacceptable to judge, usually because of some bias.” “The Latin recusare, meaning “to refuse” is the place to start in the history of recuse. You can recuse someone else, but also yourself.
  5. https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/recuse
  6. Recusal “… means to disqualify oneself as a judge in a particular case. It means to remove oneself from participation in a situation in order to avoid a conflict of interest.”
  7. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/recuse

 

  1. CONFLICT OF INTEREST DEFINED?
  2. A conflict of interest is “a situation in which the concerns or aims of two different parties are incompatible.” A conflict of interest is a situation in which a person is in a position to derive personal benefit from actions or decisions made in their official capacity.” https://www.google.com/search?ei=C0TrW_HRAfHBjgTT66LoBQ&q=conflict+of+interest&oq=conflict+of+interest&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i20i263j0j0i20i263j0l7.6693.9500..9771…0.0..0.125.2180.1j19……0….1..gws-wiz…….35i39j0i131j0i67j0i131i67.DJJsVT6g4OM
  3. A conflict of interest “is a situation in which an individual has competing interests or loyalties. Conflicts of interest involve dual relationships; one person in one relationship and a relationship in another situation.
  4. https://www.thebalancesmb.com/what-is-a-conflict-of-interest-give-me-some-examples-398192

 

  1. HOW ARE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST RESOLVED?
  2. Through recusal. Either a person recuses himself or herself, as in the U.S. Supreme Court justices, or a person can be compelled to recuse himself by virtue of administrative decree, edict, order, command, or injunction.

 

  1. Through waiver. The opposition can waive any conflict of interest.

 

  1. Through contract. Parties can agree to terms of a recusal.

 

  1. Through insurance. The party with the alleged conflict of interest can provide a pledge or insurance guaranteeing he or she will not permit earlier or present conflicts to make a difference in decisions or actions.

 

  1. The party with the alleged conflict of interest can refuse to accept a recusal, thereby setting the stage for litigation of the matter before a court of law or administrative judicial body.

 

 

  1. WHAT ARE JUDICIAL EXAMPLES OF RECUSAL?
  2. Clarence Thomas recused himself in a case involving Virginia because his son attended Virginia Military Institute.
  3. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Conner recused herself from participation in telecommunications cases. Why? Because she owned stock in telecommunications companies.
  4. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer recused himself from participation in insurance related matters because of a connection he had to Lloyd’s of London.
  5. Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist recused himself from several cases Arizona attorney James Brosnahan argued before the Supreme Court because James Brosnahan gave testimony against Justice Rehnquist during his confirmation hearing.
  6. Three Supreme Court Justices – Scalia, Souter, and Thomas recused themselves in a death penalty appeal because they knew the victim’s son.
  7. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_disqualification. Legal Citations provided at this URL.

 

  1. WHAT ARE JUDICIAL EXAMPLES OF REFUSAL TO RECUSE?
  2. Justice Hugo Black did not recuse himself in the Jewell Ridge Coal case.
  3. Even though in the past he opined that arrests were valid, Associate Justice Rehnquist refused to recuse himself in a case involving validity of certain arrests.
  4. Justice Scalia refused to recuse himself in a case involving VP Dick Cheney as a party even though Justice Scalia was a participant in a hunting trip with Mr. Cheney.
  5. Justice Scalia refused to recuse himself in a Pledge of Allegiance-related case, notwithstanding Justice Scalia stated his view that a party’s claims had no merit.
  6. There are a number of other federal cases where judges refused to recuse themselves, one involving federal judge Leon Higginbotham, one involving Paul Borman, one involving Michael Mukasey.
  7. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judicial_disqualification.  Legal Citations provided at this URL.

 

  1. RECUSAL IN ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCIES?
  2. The concept of recusal applies to administrative agencies.
  3. Perhaps the most famous recusal to-date is that of US Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
  4. He recused himself from matters relative to “Russian interference in the 2016 election.”
  5. Sessions claims he did not give up his responsibility to serve as the nation’s law enforcement officer.
  6. Sessions claims he merely ceded control of “Russia investigations” to Assistant Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
  7. https://www.romper.com/p/what-does-recuse-mean-jeff-sessions-is-stepping-away-from-russia-investigations-41995

 

  1. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE REGULATION MR. SESSIONS RELIED UPON AS LEGAL SUPPORT FOR HIS RECUSAL?
  2. He relied on Department of Justice regulation: Title 28, Chapter I, Section 45.2, Code of Federal Regulation, title “Disqualification arising from personal or political relationship.”
  3. 2(a) and (b) read:
  4. (a) Unless authorized under paragraph (b) of this section, no employee shall participate in a criminal investigation or prosecution if he has a personal or political relationship with:
  5. (1) Any person or organization substantially involved in the conduct that is the subject of the investigation or prosecution; or
  6. (2) Any person or organization which he knows has a specific and substantial interest that would be directly affected by the outcome of the investigation or prosecution.
  7. (b) An employee assigned to or otherwise participating in a criminal investigation or prosecution who believes that his participation may be prohibited by paragraph (a) of this section shall report the matter and all attendant facts and circumstances to his supervisor at the level of section chief or the equivalent or higher. If the supervisor determines that a personal or political relationship exists between the employee and a person or organization described in paragraph (a) of this section, he shall relieve the employee from participation unless he determines further, in writing, after full consideration of all the facts and circumstances, that:
  8. (1) The relationship will not have the effect of rendering the employee’s service less than fully impartial and professional; and
  9. (2) The employee’s participation would not create an appearance of a conflict of interest likely to affect the public perception of the integrity of the investigation or prosecution.
  10. ( c) For the purposes of this section:
  11. (1) Political relationship means a close identification with an elected official, a candidate (whether or not successful) for elective, public office, a political party, or a campaign organization, arising from service as a principal adviser thereto or a principal official thereof; and
  12. (2) Personal relationship means a close and substantial connection of the type normally viewed as likely to induce partiality. An employee is presumed to have a personal relationship with his father, mother, brother, sister, child and spouse. Whether relationships (including friendships) of an employee to other persons or organizations are “personal” must be judged on an individual basis with due regard given to the subjective opinion of the employee.
  13. (d) This section pertains to agency management and is not intended to create rights enforceable by private individuals or organizations.

 

  1. DID MR. SESSIONS COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF THE REGULATION UPON WHICH HE RELIED? ANSWER: IT APPEARS THAT HE DID NOT.
  2. Paragraph b) of the DOJ regulation reads: An employee assigned to or otherwise participating in a criminal investigation or prosecution who believes that his participation may be prohibited by paragraph (a) of this section shall report the matter and all attendant facts and circumstances to his supervisor at the level of section chief or the equivalent or higher.
  3. Sessions was obligated to “report the matter and all attendant facts and circumstances to his supervisor [POTUS Trump].” Did he do this? No he did not.

 

  1. UNLIKE RECUSAL IN THE MATTER OF A SUPREME COURT OR OTHER JUDGE WHEREIN THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO DETERMINE WHETHER THEY WILL OR WILL NOT RECUSE THEMSELVES, WHOSE CHOICE WAS IT WHETHER MR. SESSIONS RECUSE HIMSELF OR NOT?
  2. According to the DOJ regulation Mr. Sessions relied upon, the choice as to whether Mr. Sessions should recuse himself belonged to POTUS Trump.
  3. Why? Because The DOJ regulation reads:
  4. If the supervisor determines that a personal or political relationship exists between the employee and a person or organization described in paragraph (a) of this section, he shall relieve the employee from participation unless he determines further, in writing, after full consideration of all the facts and circumstances, that:
  5. (1) The relationship will not have the effect of rendering the employee’s service less than fully impartial and professional; and
  6. (2) The employee’s participation would not create an appearance of a conflict of interest likely to affect the public perception of the integrity of the investigation or prosecution.
  7. Who was Mr. Sessions’ supervisor?
  8. Answer: POTUS Trump.
  9. Again, whose choice was it whether Mr. Sessions recuse himself?
  10. Answer: POTUS Trump’s choice.
  11. Session arbitrarily decided to and then announced that he was recusing himself.

 

  1. WHAT DIFFERENCE DID MR. SESSIONS’ RECUSAL MAKE?
  2. Sessions said it was “absurd” to suggest that his recusal would render him unable to manage the Department of Justice?
  3. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/13/heres-the-regulation-that-sessions-said-required-him-to-quit-probe.html
  4. Was it absurd to suggest that his recusal would render him unable to manage the Department of Justice?
  5. Was he in fact able to manage the Department of Justice?
  6. The answer is no.
  7. He was only able to manage a part of the Department of Justice.
  8. For his work combating gangs, dealing with drug and immigration issues, and DOJ related matters other than “Russians involved in influencing the U.S. election,” Mr. Sessions is
  9. He focused his administration on “rolling back the work of the Obama administration in liberalizing drug laws, reducing mass incarceration, and ending federal monitoring of troubled police departments.
  10. With all the good work he did, however, did his recusal make it impossible for him to manage and direct matters pertaining to the “Russian interference in the 2016 election”?
  11. Did his recusal make it –
  12. (1) impossible for him to manage and direct and call grand juries and investigate and indict and prosecute those involved in “Russian” connections to the democratic party including the Clintons and the Podestas? and
  13. (2) impossible for him to manage and direct and call grand juries and investigate and indict and prosecute those involved in “Russian” connections to Hillary Clinton including investigating whether she misused her office and colluded with the Russians and took vast sums of money from the Russians and others as campaign funds or otherwise in return for influence, whether she paid a million dollars for the “Russian dossier, “whether she took control of democratic party funds to the harm of Bernie Sanders, whether she colluded with others, including perhaps then POTUS Obama, to damage a sitting president POTUS Trump by using ill-gotten FISA warrants?
  14. Did his recusal make it (3) impossible for him to manage and direct and call grand juries and investigate and indict and prosecute those involved in the “Russian” elements of the Mueller investigation(s)?
  15. His recusal made such impossible. There is no indication Mr. Sessions provided management and direction to matters pertaining to “Russian interference in the 2016 election.”
  16. This was left to Assistant AG Rod Rosenstein who had oversight for the “Russian investigation.” Mr. Rosenstein apparently appointed and gave Mr. Mueller the investigative latitude he enjoys.
  17. Today Matthew J. Whitaker serves as acting Attorney General. He has not recused himself and any recusal would be determined by POTUS Trump if there is a continued call for recusal.
  18. Looking at the political landscape, what appears to a reasonable person, to a reasonable investigative journalist, to a reasonable special counsel, is this:
  19. It would appear that the democrats manufactured the “Russians” did it narrative as a smokescreen to cover their own perfidy in dealing with the Russians.
  20. To-date there is no indication the Russians colluded with POTUS Trump.
  21. There is a reasonable conclusion that the Democrats, including Hillary Clinton and Mr. Podesta and others, including the complicit media on the left, manufactured the “Russians influenced the 2016 election” narrative.
  22. If Mr. Sessions knew the Democrats manufactured the “Russians influenced the 2016 election” narrative, then he is either a closet liberal and party to the elaborate, far reaching fraud on the Republican party and the nation, and his recusal was intentionally designed to hamstring POTUS Trump and prevent POTUS Trump from carrying out his duty as regards criminal actions, OR
  23. If Mr. Sessions did not know that the Democrats manufactured the “Russians influenced the 2016 election” narrative, then he has been deceived by the Democrats. In this case, Mr. Sessions’ recusal was misinformed.
  24. Either way, as a consequence of the Democrat falsehood, and the subsequent Sessions recusal,
  25. (1) we the American people are not just saddled with the multi-million dollar Mueller special investigation,
  26. (2)We are saddled with a two tier justice system where the rich and famous commit felonies and escape grand jury indictment and subsequent arrest, prosecution, fines, and imprisonment.

 

  1. CONSEQUENCES OF THE SESSIONS RECUSAL?
  2. To-date, after all this time, we the people still have no answers to critical questions.
  3. Did the Democrats collude with the Russians?
  4. Did the Democrats receive funds from the Russians?
  5. Did the Democrats manufacture the “Russians interfered in the 2016 election” narrative?
  6. Did they, including then Barack Obama, and closet or open liberals in the Republican Party, engineer Mr. Sessions’ recusal and the “Mueller special counsel” in order to marginalize a duly elected sitting president POTUS Trump?
  7. Have they aggressively followed the Saul Alinsky principle of accusing your opponent of the very same thing you are guilty of?
  8. Did Hillary Clinton and her campaign wrongfully confiscate millions of dollars of Democratic national committee funds to the great harm of Bernie Sanders and others?
  9. Did Hillary Clinton with give or take a million dollars fund the fake “Russian” dossier denigrating POTUS Trump and do so through a Democrat law firm and fusion GPS and operatives?
  10. Did Hillary Clinton use her private email and servers and Blackberries to knowingly, or unknowingly, transfer classified information to the Russians and Chinese and others? Either way, this is felonious conduct.
  11. To what degree were the FBI leadership and other FBI persons complicit in activities that harmed and still harm POTUS Trump? Mr. Comey? Mr. Clapper? Media personalities? Others?
  12. Had Mr. Sessions failed to “recuse himself,” had he adhered to the policy and given POTUS Trump his right to choose, would we have answers to each of these questions?
  13. Is it reasonable to conclude that indictments would have been issued beyond the few seeming inconsequential indictments issued by Mr. Mueller to-date?

 

  1. FOR THESE AND OTHER REASONS, MARK LEVIN, AMONG OTHERS, CALLED FOR JEFF SESSIONS TO RESIGN AS ATTORNEY GENERAL.
  2. In April of 2018, MARK said: “The buck stops on the Attorney General’s desk, even if he recused himself as he did with the Russian matter. This is not the Russian matter. And the entire [Justice] Department is out of control now and its country first, over any politician, even if I’ve known that politician for a long, long time, his attorney general now.“I watch the president of the United States here now. He doesn’t deserve any of this. He didn’t do anything. He didn’t do anything. What do you think it is, Chappaquiddick?

    “And so it’s time for the Attorney General to step aside and for the president of the United States, he can make a recess appointment, … [of] somebody … who’s going to take … charge over what’s going on in this country.

    (Real Clear Politics, Mark Levin: Time For Jeff Sessions To Resign, Posted by Ian Schwartz, April 9, 2018. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/04/09/mark_levin_time_for_jeff_sessions_to_resign.html)

 

  1. WHAT ABOUT MR. SESSIONS’ RESIGNATION AS ATTORNEY GENERAL?
  2. Sessions’ resignation was made according to Mr. Sessions at POTUS Trump’s instance.
  3. His letter of resignation reads:
  4. “Dear Mr. President,
  5. “At your request, I am submitting my resignation.
  6. “Since the day I was honored to be sworn in as Attorney General of the United States, I came to work at the Department of Justice every day determined to do my duty and serve my country.
  7. “I have done so to the best of my ability, working to support the fundamental legal processes that are the foundation of justice.
  8. “The team we assembled embraced your directive to be a law and order Department of Justice.
  9. “We prosecuted the largest number of violent offenders and firearm defendants in our country’s history.
  10. “We took on transnational gangs that are bringing violence and death across our borders and protected national security.
  11. “We did our part to restore immigration enforcement.
  12. “We targeted the opioid epidemic by prosecuting doctors, pharmacists, and anyone else who contributed to this crisis with new law enforcement tools and determination.
  13. “And we have seen results.
  14. “After two years of rising violent crime and homicides prior to this administration, those trends have reversed – thanks to the hard work of our prosecutors and law enforcement around the country.
  15. “I am particularly grateful to the fabulous men and women in law enforcement all over this country with whom I have served.
  16. “I have had no greater honor than to serve alongside them.
  17. “As I have said many times, they have my thanks and I will always have their backs.
  18. “Most importantly, in my time as Attorney General we have restored and upheld the rule of law – a glorious tradition that each of us has a responsibility to safeguard.
  19. “We have operated with integrity and have lawfully and aggressively advanced the policy agenda of this administration.
  20. “I have been honored to serve as Attorney General and have worked to implement the law enforcement agenda based on the rule of law that formed a central part of your campaign for the Presidency.
  21. “Thank you for the opportunity, Mr. President.
  22. “Sincerely, Jeffery B. Sessions
  23. (CNN politics, Read Jeff Sessions’ resignation letter, Wednesday, November 7, 2018, https://www.cnn.com/2018/11/07/politics/sessions-resignation-letter/index.html)
  24. Again, I for one praise Mr. Sessions for the good that he has done.
  25. What is missing from his letter is any indication whatsoever that he helped resolve the serious issues raised by the above questions.

 

  1. SHIFTING GEARS, WHAT OF MATTHEW J. WHITAKER’S APPOINTMENT AS ACTING ATTORNEY GENERAL? WHAT OF THE CALL BY DEMOCRATS AND OTHERS FOR MR. WHITAKER TO RECUSE HIMSELF FROM GIVING OVERSIGHT TO THE MUELLER INVESTIGATION?

  7. Why not?
  8. Who knows for certain?
  9. Perhaps because Mr. Rosenstein was complicit in the appointment of Mr. Mueller.
  10. Perhaps because Mr. Rosenstein has not helped resolve the issues set forth in the above list of questions.
  11. Perhaps because Mr. Rosenstein was part of the problem not part of the solution.

  1. A FEW CONCLUSIONS? Does investigative journalism and forensic evidence support the following? If so, the DOJ and Mr. Mueller need to indict and prosecute.
  2. 1) Was the fake “Russians influenced the 2016 election and POTUS Trump colluded with the Russians” narrative manufactured by the Democrats including Hillary Clinton and John Podesta and others as an excuse for their overwhelming, unexpected 2016 loss to POTUS Trump?
  3. 2) Following the classic Saul Alinsky Rule for Radicals which is to “attack your opponent for anything wrong you are doing,” have the Democrats including Hillary Clinton and John Podesta and others including complicit media outlets and personalities manufactured and promoted the fake “Russians influenced the 2016 election and POTUS Trump colluded with the Russians” narrative and foisted which is to say wrongfully imposed the same off on the nation and world? Was this a great lie created to cover up the actual felonious collusion by the Democrats and Hillary Clinton and the Clinton campaign and others including actors like John McCain with the Russians?
  4. 3) Was the Democrat false narrative and great lie created to cover up the Clinton campaign and Democratic Party collusion with and funding to and funding from the Russians? Did Hillary Clinton and the Clinton campaign people pay Russians give or take a million dollars for a false dossier denigrating POTUS Trump? Did the Clintons receive serious hundreds of thousands of dollars and even millions in money from the Russians and other country representatives in return for influence including giving away 20-50 percent of U.S. uranium to the Russians? And if the latter is true, does such rise to the level of treason?
  5. 4) Have the Russians been attempting to influence our elections for years and is this an old accusation pre-dating POTUS Trump’s election, a Russian activity well known by then POTUS Obama and his administration? Did the Russians have any influence on the 2016 election? Is there any indication that votes were influenced by the Russians?
  6. 5) Did POTUS Trump collude with the Russians to steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton or was it the other way around? Did Hillary Clinton and her campaign operatives collude with the Russians to steal the 2016 election from POTUS Trump?
  7. 6) Did POTUS Trump work with the Russians and change the outcome of the 2016 election in his favor? Or is it just the opposite. Did Hillary Clinton and her operatives and the Democratic Party work with the Russians and promote the false “Russians influenced our elections and Donald Trump colluded with the Russians” narrative to the harm of POTUS Trump and the Republic Party and thereby cause the immense turmoil we have experienced in the country?
  8. 7) Did Jeff Sessions meet with the Russians in order to influence the election?
  9. 8) Was and on a continuing basis is still the tragic fallout from the Democrat false narrative the Jeff Sessions misinformed recusal? In other words, did the Democrats falsely engineer the Jeff Sessions recusal?
  10. 9) Did the Russians initiate the Assange Wikileaks hacking and leaking of emails? Or did Mark Rich or another inside the Democratic National Committee office offload hacked emails to Wikileaks?
  11. 10) As a consequence of Mr. Sessions’ recusal, are we the American people now saddled with a two tiered justice system? Have the rich and famous who allegedly did collude with the Russians and pay the Russians for a fake dossier and receive thousands if not millions of dollars from the Russians in return for influence and 20-50 percent of U.S. uranium, to-date, escaped indictment and prosecution for their felonies?
  12. 11) If it is true that the “Russians influenced the 2016 election and POTUS Trump colluded with the Russians” narrative was feloniously manufactured by the Democrats and disaffected Republicans and is overwhelmingly false, is it not then time for Acting AG Whitaker, and any new AG if Mr. Whitaker is not so appointed at a later date, and for Mr. Mueller, to unseal any additional indictments they may have from grand juries, assuming they have such indictments under seal, and answer these many questions and indict those including the rich and famous who have used their offices to enrich themselves, those who have lied to the nation, those who have feloniously enriched themselves and broken election laws to the tune of millions of dollars?
  13. 12) Is it true or false that Mr. Mueller has given the nation value for his work? Is it true or false that he has issued a few minor indictments to-date which in the grand political scheme are of little or no value and which suggests that his investigation may turn out to be a colossal boondoggle wherein he and high priced attorneys have banked serious millions of dollars while their work product to-date is not worth the fortune paid them?
  14. 13) In other words, will Mr. Mueller’s far reaching investigation uncover answers to the heretofore stated questions including those found in paragraphs 92 thru 103?
  15. 14) If Mr. Mueller’s work is in fact laudatory, which hopefully it is, is it possible we will soon be pleasantly surprised by an AG Whitaker and Mr. Mueller joint press conference wherein they disclose a number of indictments and arrests?
  16. 15) Is it possible that the grand jury has been called and has deliberated and all we are waiting for is the right time for Mr. Mueller and Mr. Whitaker to unseal and issue the indictments, make the arrests, and surprise us by letting the nation know which party and which individuals actually colluded with the Russians and committed felonies?

 

  1. A CONCLUDING THOUGHT?
  2. There are a great number of us Americans, who work hard at being law abiding and who labor to conduct their lives based on a fairness ethic, who are discouraged because of the lack of answers and the drawn out nature of matters.
  3. We believe Mr. Whitaker would be remiss to recuse himself.
  4. We believe POTUS Trump would be remiss to permit such to take place.
  5. As for recusal, by appointing Mr. Whitaker, we hope POTUS Trump is saying to the Democrats, “burn me once by engineering the Jeff Sessions AG recusal, fie on me.”
  6. Burn me twice by once again trying to engineer an AG recusal, fie on thee.
  7. Hopefully, recusal of Mr. Whitaker isn’t going to happen. Hopefully, there will be no recusal this time around.
  8. Hopefully, those who have enriched themselves at the expense of the people, those who have feloniously broken election and other laws, will now be held accountable.
  9. We believe POTUS Trump when he says he wouldn’t have picked Jeff Sessions as Attorney General had he known that Mr. Sessions was going to recuse himself.
  10. Today the corollary is also true. We believe POTUS Trump would not have picked Matthew Whitaker as Acting Attorney General if there were a hint that he would recuse himself.
  11. Should there be any kind of a change of heart on the part of Mr. Whitaker, which is unlikely, keep in mind the Federal Regulation section (b).
  12. Read paragraph (b) again. Title 28, Chapter I, Section 45.2, Code of Federal Regulation, title “Disqualification arising from personal or political relationship” 45.2(b) which reads in full:

 

  1. “(b) An employee assigned to or otherwise participating in a criminal investigation or prosecution who believes that his participation may be prohibited by paragraph [in this situation Mr. Whitaker] (a) of this section shall report the matter and all attendant facts and circumstances to his supervisor at the level of section chief or the equivalent or higher [in this situation POTUS Trump is Mr. Whitaker’s supervisor]. If the supervisor [POTUS Trump] determines that a personal or political relationship exists between the employee and a person or organization described in paragraph (a) of this section, he shall relieve the employee from participation unless he determines further, in writing, after full consideration of all the facts and circumstances, that:
  2. (1) The relationship will not have the effect of rendering the employee’s service less than fully impartial and professional; and
  3. (2) The employee’s participation would not create an appearance of a conflict of interest likely to affect the public perception of the integrity of the investigation or prosecution.
  4. ( c) For the purposes of this section:
  5. (1) Political relationship means a close identification with an elected official, a candidate (whether or not successful) for elective, public office, a political party, or a campaign organization, arising from service as a principal adviser thereto or a principal official thereof; and
  6. (2) Personal relationship means a close and substantial connection of the type normally viewed as likely to induce partiality. An employee is presumed to have a personal relationship with his father, mother, brother, sister, child and spouse. Whether relationships (including friendships) of an employee to other persons or organizations are “personal” must be judged on an individual basis with due regard given to the subjective opinion of the employee.
  7. (d) This section pertains to agency management and is not intended to create rights enforceable by private individuals or organizations.
  8. [Private individuals or organizations have no cause of action against Mr. Whitaker or POTUS Trump if Mr. Whitaker or POTUS Trump does not recuse Acting AG Whitaker.]

 

  1. WHEN MUCH IS SAID AND LESS APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN DONE TO PROVIDE SERIOUS ANSWERS, PERHAPS THE WASHINGTON POST STATES IT BEST:
  2. “Acting attorney general Matthew G. Whitaker has no intention of recusing himself from overseeing the special-counsel probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election, according to people close to him who added they do not believe he would approve any subpoena of President Trump as part of that investigation.” (National Security, Acting attorney general Whitaker has no intention of recusing himself from Russia probe, associates say, By Devlin Barrett, Matt Zapotsky and Josh Dawsey, Washington Post, November 8, 2018.)

  1. MEMORANDUM FOR EMMET T. FLOOD
  2. COUNSEL TO THE PRESIDENT

 

  1. Re: Designating an Acting Attorney General

 

  1. After Attorney General Jefferson B. Sessions 111 resigned on November 7, 2018, the President designated Matthew G. Whitaker, Chief of Staff and Senior Counselor to the Attorney General, to act temporarily as the Attorney General under the Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998, 5 U.S.C. 3345-3349d. This Office had previously advised that the President could designate a senior Department of Justice official, such as Mr. Whitaker, as Acting Attorney General, and this memorandum explains the basis for that conclusion.

 

  1. Whitaker’s designation as Acting Attorney General accords with the plain terms of the Vacancies Reform Act, because he had been serving in the Department of Justice at a sufficiently senior pay level for over a year. See id. 3345(a)(3). The Department’s organic statute provides that the Deputy Attorney General (or others) may be Acting Attorney General in the case of a vacancy. See 28 U.S.C. 508. But that statute does not displace the President’s authority to use the Vacancies Reform Act as an alternative. As we have previously recognized, the President may use the Vacancies Reform Act to depart from the succession order specified under section 508. See Authority of the President to Name an Acting Attorney General, 31 Op. O.L.C. 208 (2007) (“2007 Acting Attorney General”).

 

  1. We also advised that Mr. Whitaker’s designation would be consistent with the Appointments Clause of the US. Constitution, which requires the President to obtain “the Advice and Consent of the Senate” before appointing a principal officer of the United States. US. Const. art. 11, 2, cl. 2. Although an Attorney General is a principal officer requiring Senate confirmation, someone who temporarily performs his duties is not. As all three branches of government have long recognized, the President may designate an acting official to perform the duties of a vacant principal office, including a Cabinet office, even when the acting official has not been confirmed by the Senate.

 

  1. Congress did not first authorize the President to direct non-Senate-confirmed officials to act as principal officers in 1998; it did so in multiple statutes starting in 1792. In that year, Congress authorized the President to ensure the government’s uninterrupted work by designating persons to perform temporarily the work of vacant offices. The President’s authority applied to principal offices and did not require the President to select Senate-confirmed officers. In our brief survey of the history, we have identified over 160 times before 1860 in which non-Senate-confirmed persons performed, on a temporary basis, the duties of such high offices as Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of War, Secretary of the Navy, Secretary of the Interior, and Postmaster General. While designations to the office of Attorney General were less
  2. [page] 1

 

  1. frequent, we have identified at least one period in 1866 when a non-Senate-confirmed Assistant Attorney General served as Acting Attorney General. Mr. Whitaker’s designation is no more constitutionally problematic than countless similar presidential orders dating back over 200 years.

 

  1. Were the long agreement of Congress and the President insufficient, judicial precedent confirms the meaning of the Appointments Clause in these circumstances. When Presidents appointed acting Secretaries in the nineteenth century, those officers (or their estates) sometimes sought payment for their additional duties, and courts recognized the lawfulness of such appointments. The Supreme Court confirmed the legal understanding of the Appointments Clause that had prevailed for over a century in United States v. Eaton, 169 US. 331 (1898), holding that an inferior officer may perform the duties of a principal officer “for a limited time[] and under special and temporary conditions” without “transform[ing]” his office into one for which Senate confirmation is required. Id. at 343. The Supreme Court has never departed from Eaton’s holding and has repeatedly relied upon that decision in its recent Appointments Clause cases.

 

  1. In the Vacancies Reform Act, Congress renewed the President’s authority to designate non-Senate-confirmed senior officials to perform the functions and duties of principal offices. In 2003, we reviewed the President’s authority in connection with the Director of the Officer of Management and Budget who is a principal officer, and concluded that the President could designate a non-Senate-confirmed official to serve temporarily as Acting Director. See Designation of Acting Director of the Office of Management and Budget, 27 Op. O.L.C. 121 (2003) (“Acting Director of Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama placed non-Senate-confirmed officials in several lines of agency succession and actually designated unconfirmed officials as acting agency heads. President Trump, too, has previously exercised that authority in other departments; Mr. Whitaker is not the first unconfirmed official to act as the head of an agency in this administration.

 

  1. It is no doubt true that Presidents often choose acting principal officers from among Senate-confirmed officers. But the Constitution does not mandate that choice. Consistent with our prior opinion and with centuries of historical practice and precedents, we advised that the President’s designation of Mr. Whitaker as Acting Attorney General on a temporary basis did not transform his position into a principal office requiring Senate confirmation.

 

  1. The Vacancies Reform Act

 

  1. Whitaker’s designation as Acting Attorney General comports with the terms of the Vacancies Reform Act. That Act provides three mechanisms by which an acting officer may take on the functions and duties of an office, when an executive officer who is required to be appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate “dies, resigns, or is otherwise unable to perform the functions and duties of the office.” 5 U.S.C. 3345(a). First, absent any other designation, the first assistant” to the vacant office shall perform its functions and duties. Id. 3345 Second, the President may depart from that default course by directing another presidential appointee, who is already Senate confirmed, to perform the functions and duties of the vacant office. Id. 3345(a)(2). Or, third, the President may designate an officer or employee within the same agency to perform the functions and duties of
  2. [page] 2

 

  1. the vacant office, provided that he or she has been in the agency for at least 90 days in the 365 days preceding the vacancy, in a position for which the rate of pay is equal to or greater than the minimum rate for GS-15 of the General Schedule. Id 3345(a)(3). Except in the case of a vacancy caused by sickness, the statute imposes time limits on the period during which someone may act. Id. 3346. And the acting officer may not be nominated by the President to fill the vacant office and continue acting in it, unless he was already the first assistant to the office for at least 90 days in the 365 days preceding the vacancy or is a Senate-confirmed first assistant. Id. 3345(b)(1)-(2); see also Nat’l Labor Relations Bd. v. SW General, Inc, 137 S. Ct. 929, 941 (201 7).

 

 

  1. The Vacancies Reform Act unquestionably authorizes the President to direct Mr. Whitaker to act as Attorney General after the resignation of Attorney General Sessions on November 7, 2018.1 Mr. Whitaker did not fall within the first two categories of persons made eligible by section 3345(a). He was not the first assistant to the Attorney General, because 28 U.S.C. 5 08(a) identifies the Deputy Attorney General as the first assistant to the Attorney General” “for the purpose of section 3345.” Nor did Mr. Whitaker already hold a Senate-confirmed office. Although Mr. Whitaker was previously appointed, with the advice and consent of the Senate, as the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Iowa, he resigned from that position on November 25, 2009. At the time of the resignation of Attorney General Sessions, Mr. Whitaker was serving in a position to which he was appointed by the Attorney General.

 

  1. In that position, Mr. Whitaker fell squarely within the third category of officials, identified in section 3345(a)(3). As Chief of Staff and Senior Counselor, he had served in the Department of Justice for more than 90 days in the year before the resignation, at a GS-15 level or higher. And Mr. Whitaker has not been nominated to be Attorney General, an action that would render him ineligible to serve as Acting Attorney General under section 3345(b)(l). Accordingly, under the plain terms of the Vacancies Reform Act, the President could designate

 

  1. __________

 

  1. 1 Attorney General Sessions submitted his resignation “[a]t [the President’s] request,” Letter for President Donald J. Trump, from Jefferson B. Sessions Attorney General, but that does not alter the fact that the Attorney General “resign[ed]” within the meaning of section 3345(a). Even if Attorney General Sessions had declined to resign and was removed by the President, he still would have been rendered “otherwise unable to perform the functions and duties of the office” for purposes of section 3345(a). As this Office recently explained, “an officer is “unable to perform the functions and duties of the office” during both short periods of unavailability, such as a period of sickness, and potentially longer ones, such as one resulting from the officer’s removal (which would arguably not be covered by the reference to “resign[ation]. Designating an Acting Director of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, 41 Op. O.L.C. at *4 (2017); see also Guidance on Application of Federal Vacancies Reform Act of1998, 23 Op. O.L.C. 60, 61 (1999) (“In floor debate, Senators said, by way of example, that an officer would be “otherwise unable to perform the functions and duties of the office” if he or she were fired, imprisoned, or sick”). Indeed, any other interpretation would leave a troubling gap in the ability to name acting officers. For most Senate-confirmed offices, the Vacancies Reform Act is “the exclusive means” for naming an acting officer. 5 U.S.C. 3347(a). If the statute did not apply in cases of removal, then it would mean that no acting officer – not even the first assistant – “could take the place of a removed officer, even where the President had been urgently required to remove the officer, for instance, by concerns over national security, corruption, or other workplace misconduct.

  1. Whitaker to serve temporarily as Acting Attorney General subject to the time limitations of section 3346.

 

 

  1. The Vacancies Reform Act remains available to the President even though 28 U.S.C. 508 separately authorizes the Deputy Attorney General and certain other officials to act as Attorney General in the case of a vacancy.2 We previously considered whether this statute limits the President’s authority under the Vacancies Reform Act to designate someone else to be Acting Attorney General. 2007 Acting Attorney General, 31 Op. O.L.C. 208. We have also addressed similar questions with respect to other agencies’ succession statutes. See Designating an Acting Director of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection, 41 Op. O.L.C. (2017) (“Acting Director of Acting Director of 0MB, 27 Op. O.L.C. at 121 n.1. In those instances, we concluded that the Vacancies Reform Act is not the “exclusive means” for the temporary designation of an acting official, but that it remains available as an option to the President. We reach the same conclusion here: Section 508 does not limit the President’s authority to invoke the Vacancies Reform Act to designate an Acting Attorney General.

 

  1. We previously concluded that section 508 does not prevent the President from relying upon the Vacancies Reform Act to determine who will be the Acting Attorney General. Although the Vacancies Reform Act, which “ordinarily is the exclusive means for naming an acting officer,” 2007 Acting Attorney General, 31 Op. O.L.C. at 209 (citing 5 U.S.C. 3347), makes an exception for, and leaves in effect, statutes such as section 508, “[t]he Vacancies Reform Act nowhere says that, if another statute remains in effect, the Vacancies Reform Act may not be used.” Id. In fact, the structure of the Vacancies Reform Act makes clear that office-specific provisions are treated as exceptions from its generally exclusive applicability, not as provisions that supersede the Vacancies Reform Act altogether.3 Furthermore, as we noted, “the Senate Committee Report accompanying the Act expressly disavows” the View that, where another statute is available, the Vacancies Reform Act may not be used. Id. (citing S. Rep. No. 105-250, at 17 (1998)). That report stated that, “with respect to the specific positions in which temporary officers may serve under the specific statutes this bill retains, the Vacancies [Reform] Act would continue to provide an alternative procedure for temporarily occupying the office.” Id. We therefore concluded that the President could direct the Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Division to act as Attorney General under the Vacancies Reform Act, even though the incumbent Solicitor General would otherwise have served under the chain of succession specified in section 508 (as supplemented by an Attorney General order).
  2. __________

 

  1. 2 Under 28 U.S.C. 508(a), in the case of a vacancy in the office of Attorney General, “the Deputy Attorney General may exercise all the duties of that office, and for the purpose of [the Vacancies Reform Act] the Deputy Attorney General is the first assistant to the Attorney General.” If the offices of Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General are both vacant, “the Associate Attorney General shall act as Attorney General,” and “[t]he Attorney General may designate the Solicitor General and the Assistant Attorneys General, in further order of succession, to act as Attorney General.” Id. 508(b).

 

  1. 3 One section (entitled “Exclusion of certain offices”) is used to exclude certain offices altogether. 5 U.S.C. 3349c. Office-specific statutes, however, are mentioned in a different section (entitled “Exclusivity”) that generally makes the Vacancies Reform Act “the exclusive means” for naming an acting officer but also specifies exceptions to that exclusivity. Id. 3347(a)(l).
  2. [page] 4

 

  1. At the time of our 2007 Acting Attorney General opinion, the first two offices specified in section 508(a) and (b)”Deputy Attorney General and Associate Attorney General” were both vacant. See 31 Op. O.L.C. at 208. That is not currently the case; there is an incumbent Deputy Attorney General. But the availability of the Deputy Attorney General does not affect the President’s authority to invoke section 3345(a)(3). Nothing in section 508 suggests that the Vacancies Reform Act does not apply when the Deputy Attorney General can serve. To the contrary, the statute expressly states that the Deputy Attorney General is the first assistant to the Attorney General” “for the purpose of section 3345 of title 5” the provision of the Vacancies Reform Act providing for the designation of an acting officer). 28 U.S.C. 508(a). It further provides that the Deputy Attorney General “may” serve as Acting Attorney General, not that he “must,” underscore that the Vacancies Reform Act remains an alternative means of appointment. 4 These statutory cross-references confirm that section 508 works in conjunction with, and does not displace, the Vacancies Reform Act.

 

  1. Although the Deputy Attorney General is the default choice for Acting Attorney General under section 3345(a)(1), the President retains the authority to invoke the other categories of eligible officials, “notwithstanding [the first-assistant provision in] paragraph 5 U.S.C. 3345(a)(2), (3). Moreover, there is reason to believe that Congress, in enacting the Vacancies Reform Act, deliberately chose to make the second and third categories of officials in section 3345(a) applicable to the office of Attorney General. Under the previous Vacancies Act, the first assistant to an office was also the default choice for filling a vacant Senate-confirmed position, and the President was generally able to depart from that by selecting another Senate-confirmed officer. See 5 U.S.C. 3347 (1994). That additional presidential authority, however, was expressly made inapplicable “to a vacancy in the office of Attorney General.” See also Rev. Stat. 179 (2d ed. 1878). Yet, when Congress enacted the Vacancies Reform Act in 1998, it did away with the exclusion for the office of Attorney General. See 5 U.S.C. 3349c (excluding certain other officers).5

 

  1. Our conclusion that the Vacancies Reform Act remains available, notwithstanding section 508, is consistent with our prior opinions. In Acting Director of OMB, we recognized that an OMB-specific statute, 31 U.S.C. 502(f), did not displace the President’s authority under the Vacancies Reform Act. See 27 Op. O.L.C. at 121 n.1 (“The Vacancies Reform Act does not provide, however, that where there is another statute providing for a presidential designation, the Vacancies Reform Act becomes unavailable?). More recently, we confirmed that the President could designate an Acting Director of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (“CFLPB”).

 

  1. __________

 

  1. 4 We do not mean to suggest that a different result would follow if section 508 said “shall” instead of “may,” since as discussed at length in Acting Director such mandatory phrasing in a separate statute does not itself oust the Vacancies Reform Act. See 41 Op. O.L.C. *7-9 n.3, The point is that, in contrast with the potential ambiguity arising from the appearance of “shall” in the CFPB-specific statute, section 508 expressly acknowledges that the Deputy Attorney General is the first assistant but will not necessarily serve in the case of a vacancy in the office of Attorney General. 5 When it reported the Vacancies Reform Act, the Senate Committee on Governmental Affairs contemplated that the Attorney General would continue to be excluded by language in a proposed section 3345(c) that would continue to make section 508 “applicable” to the office. See S. Rep. No. 105-250, at 13, 25; 144 Cong. Rec. 12,433 (June 16, 1998). But that provision “was not enacted as part of the final bill, and no provision of the Vacancies Reform Act bars the President from designating an Acting Attorney General under that statute.” 2007 Acting Attorney General, 31 Op. O.L.C. at 209 n.1.

We reasoned that the CFPB-specific statute should “interact with the Vacancies Reform Act in the same way as other, similar statutes providing an office-specific mechanism for an individual to act in a vacant position.” Id at *7-9 n.3. We noted that the Vacancies Reform Act itself provides that a first assistant to a vacant office “shall perform the functions and duties” of that office unless the President designates someone else to do so, 5 U.S.C. 3345(a), and that mandatory language in either the CF PB-specific statute or the Vacancies Reform Act does not foreclose the availability of the other statute. Acting Director of CFPB, 41 Op. O.L.C. at *7-8.

 

  1. Courts have similarly concluded that the Vacancies Reform Act remains available as an alternative to office-specific statutes. See Hooks v. Kitsap Tenant Support Servs., Inc. 816 F.3d 550, 55 5-56 (9th Cir. 2016) (General Counsel of the National Labor Relations Board, which has its own office-specific statute prescribing a method of filling a vacancy); English v. Trump, 279 F. Supp. 3d 307, 323?24 (D.D.C. 2018) (holding that the mandatory language in the CFPB-specific statute is implicitly qualified by the Vacancies Reform Act’s language providing that the President also “may direct” qualifying individuals to serve in an acting capacity), appeal dismissed upon appellant’s motion, No. 18?5007, 2018 WL 3526296 (DC. Cir. July 13, 2018).

 

  1. For these reasons, we believe that the President could invoke the Vacancies Reform Act in order to designate Mr. Whitaker as Acting Attorney General ahead of the alternative line of succession provided under section 508.

 

  1. The Appointments Clause
  2. While the Vacancies Reform Act expressly authorizes the President to select an
  3. unconfirmed official as Acting Attorney General, Congress may not authorize an appointment mechanism that would conflict with the Constitution. See Freytag v. Commissioner, 501 U.S. 868, 883 (1991). The Appointments Clause requires the President to “appoint” principal officers, such as the Attorney General, “by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate.” U.S. Const., art. 11, 2, cl. 2. But for “inferior Officers,” Congress may vest the appointment power “in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.” Id.

 

  1. The President’s designation of Mr. Whitaker as Acting Attorney General is consistent with the Appointments Clause so long as Acting Attorney General is not a principal office that requires Senate confirmation. If so, it does not matter whether an acting official temporarily filling a vacant principal office is an inferior officer or not an “officer” at all within the meaning of the Constitution, because Mr. Whitaker was appointed in a manner that satisfies the requirements for an inferior officer: He was appointed by Attorney General Sessions, who was the Head of the Department, and the President designated him to perform additional duties. See Acting Director of OMB, 27 Op. O.L.C. at 124-25. If the designation constituted an appointment to a principal office, however, then section 3345(a)(3) would be unconstitutional as applied, because Mr. Whitaker does not currently occupy a position requiring Senate confirmation.
  2. [page] 6

 

  1. For the reasons stated below, based on long-standing historical practice and precedents, we do not believe that the Appointments Clause may be construed to require the Senate’s advice and consent before Mr. Whitaker may be Acting Attorney General.

 

 

  1. The Attorney General is plainly a principal officer, who must be appointed with the advice and consent of the Senate. See Edmond v. United States, 520 U.S. 651, 662-63 (1997); Morrison v. Olson, 487 U.S. 654, 670-72 (1988). The Attorney General has broad and continuing authority over the federal government’s law-enforcement, litigation, and other legal functions. See, e. g, 28 U.S.C. 516, 533. The Supreme Court has not “set forth an exclusive criterion for distinguishing between” inferior officers and principal officers. Edmond, 520 U.S. at 661. “Generally speaking, the term “inferior officer” connotes a relationship with some higher ranking officer or officers below the President.” Id at 662. There is no officer below the President who supervises the Attorney General.

 

  1. Although the Attorney General is a principal officer, it does not follow that an Acting Attorney General should be understood to be one. An office under the Appointments Clause requires both a “continuing and permanent” position and the exercise of “significant authority pursuant to the laws of the United States.” Lucia v. SEC, 138 S. Ct. 2044, 2051 (2018) (internal quotation marks omitted); see also Officers of the United States within the Meaning of the Appointments Clause, 31 Op. O.L.C. 73, 74 (2007). While a person acting as the Attorney General surely exercises sufficient authority to be an “Officer of the United States,” it is less clear whether Acting Attorney General is a principal office.

 

  1. Because that question involves the division of powers between the Executive and the Legislative Branches, “historical practice” is entitled to “significant weight.” Nat’l Labor Relations Bd v. Noel Canning, 134 S. Ct. 2550, 2559 (2014); see also, e. The Pocket Veto Case, 279 U.S. 655, 689 (1929). That practice strongly supports the constitutionality of authorizing someone who has not been Senate-confirmed to serve as an acting principal officer. Since 1792, Congress has repeatedly legislated on the assumption that temporary service as a principal officer does not require Senate confirmation. As for the Executive Branch’s practice, our non-exhaustive survey has identified over 160 occasions between 1809 and 1860 on which non-Senate-confirmed persons served temporarily as an acting or ad interim principal officer in the Cabinet.

 

  1. Furthermore, judicial precedents culminating in United States v. Eaton, 169 U.S. 331 (1898), endorsed that historical practice and confirm that the temporary nature of acting service weighs against principal-officer status. The Supreme Court in Eaton held that an inferior officer may perform the duties of a principal officer “for a limited time [ ] and under special and temporary conditions” without “transform[ing]” his office into one for which Senate confirmation is required. Id. at 343. That holding was not limited to the circumstances of that case, but instead reflected a broad consensus about the status of an acting principal officer that the Supreme Court has continued to rely on in later Appointments Clause decisions.
  2. [page] 7

 

 

  1. Since the Washington Administration, Congress has “authoriz[ed] the President to direct certain officials to temporarily carry out the duties of a vacant PAS office one requiring Presidential Appointment and Senate confirmation] in an acting capacity, without Senate confirmation.” SW General, 137 S. Ct. at 934; see also Noel Canning, 134 S. Ct. at 2609 (Scalia J., dissenting in relevant part) (observing that the President does not need to use recess appointments to “fill vacant offices because “Congress can authorize “acting” officers to perform the duties associated with a temporarily vacant office” – “and has done that, in one form or another, since 1792”). Those statutes, and evidence of practice under them during the early nineteenth century, did not limit the pool of officials eligible to serve as an acting principal officer to those who already have Senate-confirmed offices. This history provides compelling support for the conclusion that the position of an acting principal officer is not itself a principal office.

 

  1. In 1792, Congress First “authorized the appointment of ‘any person or persons’ to fill specific vacancies in the Departments of State, Treasury, and War.” SW General, 137 S. Ct. at 935 (quoting Act of May 8, 1792, ch. 37, 8, 1 Stat. 279, 281). Although the statute expressly mentioned vacancies in the position of Secretary in each of those Departments, the President was authorized to choose persons who held no federal office at all – much less one requiring Senate confirmation. Although the 1792 statute “allowed acting officers to serve until the permanent Officeholder could resume his duties or a successor was appointed,” Congress “imposed a six-month limit on acting service” in 1795. Id. at 935 (citing Act of Feb. 13, 1795, ch. 21, Stat. 415). In 1863, in response to a plea from President Lincoln, see Message to Congress (Jan. 2, 1863), Cong. Globe, 37th Cong, 3d Sess. 185 (1863), Congress extended the provision to permit the President to handle a vacancy in the office of “the head of any Executive Department of the Government, or of any officer of either of the said Departments whose appointment is not in the head thereof.” Act of Feb. 20, 1863, ch. 45, 1, 12 Stat. 656, 656. The 1863 statute allowed the duties of a vacant office to be performed for up to six months by “the head of any other Executive Department” or by any other officer in those departments “whose appointment is vested in the President.” Id.

 

  1. In 1868, Congress replaced all previous statutes on the subject of vacancies with the Vacancies Act of 1868. See Act of July 23, 1868, ch. 227, 15 Stat. 168. That act provided that, “in case of the death, resignation, absence, or sickness of the head of any executive department of the government, the first or sole assistant thereof shall . . . perform the duties of such head until a successor be appointed or the absence or sickness shall cease.” Id, 1, 15 Stat. at 168. In lieu of elevating the first or sole assistant,” the President could also choose to authorize any other officer appointed with the Senate’s advice and consent to perform the duties of the vacant office until a successor was appointed or the prior occupant of the position was able to return to his post. Id 3, 15 Stat. at 168. In cases of death or resignation, an acting official could serve for no longer than ten days. Id. The 1868 act thus eliminated the President’s prior discretion to fill a vacant office temporarily with someone who did not hold a Senate-confirmed position. Yet, it preserved the possibility that a non-Senate-confirmed first assistant would serve as an acting head of an executive department.
  2. [page] 8

 

  1. Over the next 120 years, Congress repeatedly amended the Vacancies Act of 1868, but it never eliminated the possibility that a non-Senate-confirmed first assistant could serve as an acting head of an executive department. In 1891, it extended the time limit for acting service in cases of death or resignation from ten to thirty days. Act of Feb. 6, 1891, ch. 113, 26 Stat. 733. In 1966, it made minor changes during the course of re-codifying and enacting title 5 of the United States Code. See S. Rep. No. 89-1380, at 20, 70-71 (1966); 5 U.S.C. 3345-3349 (1970). Congress amended the act once more in 1988, extending the time limit on acting service from 30 to 120 days and making the statute applicable to offices that are not in “Departments” and thus are less likely to have Senate-confirmed first assistants. Pub. L. No. 100-398, 102 Stat. 985, 988 (1988).

 

  1. Accordingly, for more than two centuries before the Vacancies Reform Act, Congress demonstrated its belief that the Appointments Clause did not require Senate confirmation for temporary service in a principal office, by repeatedly enacting statutes that affirmatively authorized acting service – even in principal offices at the heads of executive departments – by persons who did not already hold an appointment made with the Senate’s advice and consent.

 

 

  1. Not only did Congress authorize the Presidents to select officials to serve temporarily as acting principal officers, but Presidents repeatedly exercised that power to fill temporarily the vacancies in their administrations that arose from resignations, terminations, illnesses, or absences from the seat of government. In providing this advice, we have not canvassed the entire historical record. But we have done enough to confirm that Presidents often exercised their powers under the 1792 and 1795 statutes to choose persons who did not hold any Senate-confirmed position to act temporarily as principal officers in various departments. In the Washington, Adams, and Jefferson Administrations, other Cabinet officers (or Chief Justice John Marshall) were used as temporary or “ad interim” officials when offices were vacant between the departure of one official and the appointment of his successor. See, e. Biographical Directory of the American Congress, 1 774497], at 13??14 (1971); see id at 12 (explaining that the list of Cabinet officers excludes “[s]ubordinates acting temporarily as heads of departments” and therefore lists only those who served ad interim after an incumbent’s departure).

 

  1. President Jefferson made the first designation we have identified of a non-Senate-confirmed officer to serve temporarily in his Cabinet. On February 17, 1809, approximately two weeks before the end of the Jefferson Administration, John Smith, the chief clerk of the Department of War, was designated to serve as Acting Secretary of War. See id. at 14; Letter from Thomas Jefferson to the War Department (Feb. 17, 1809), Founders Online, National Archives, (“Whereas, by the resignation of Henry Dearborne, late Secretary at War, that office is become vacant. I therefore do hereby authorize John Smith, chief clerk of the office of the Department of War, to perform the duties of the said office, until a successor be appointed”). As chief clerk, Smith was not a principal officer. He was instead “an inferior officer . . . appointed by the [Department’s] principal officer.” Act of Aug. 5, 1789, ch. 6, 2, 1 Stat. 49, 50. The next Secretary of War did not enter upon duty until April 8, 1809, five weeks after the beginning of the Madison Administration. See Biographical Directory at 14.
  2. [page] 9

 

  1. Between 1809 and 1860, President Jefferson’s successors designated a non-Senate-confirmed officer to serve as an acting principal officer in a Cabinet position on at least 160 other occasions. We have identified 109 additional instances during that period where chief clerks, who were not Senate confirmed, temporarily served as ad interim Secretary of State (on 51 occasions), Secretary of the Treasury (on 36 occasions), or Secretary of War (on 22 occasions). See id. at 15-19; 1 Trial of Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, Before the Senate of the United States, on Impeachment by the House of Representatives for High Crimes and Misdemeanors, 575?81, 585-88, 590-91 (Washington, GPO 1868); In re Asbury Dickins, 34th Cong, Sess., Rep. CC. 9, at 4?5 (Ct. C1. 1856) (listing 18 times between 1829 and 1836 that chief clerk Asbury Dickins was “appointed to perform the duties of Secretary of the Treasury” or Secretary of State “during the absence from the seat of government or sickness” of those Secretaries, for a total of 359 days).6 Between 1853 and 1860 there were also at least 21 occasions on which non-Senate-confirmed Assistant Secretaries were authorized to act as Secretary of the Treasury.7

 

  1. We have also identified instances involving designations of persons who apparently had no prior position in the federal government, including Alexander Hamilton’s Son, James A. Hamilton, whom President Jackson directed on his first day in office to “take charge of the Department of State until Governor [Martin] Van Buren should arrive in the city” three weeks later. 1 Trial of Andrew Johnson at 575; see Biographical Directory at 16. President Jackson also twice named William B. Lewis, who held no other government position, as acting Secretary of War. See 1 Trial of Andrew Johnson at 575. Moving beyond the offices expressly covered by the 1792 and 1795 statutes, there were at least 23 additional instances before 1861 in which Presidents authorized a non-Senate-confirmed chief clerk to perform temporarily the duties of the Secretary of the Navy (on 21 occasions), or the Secretary of the Interior (on 2 occasions).8

 

  1. At the time, it was well understood that when an Acting or ad interim Secretary already held an office such as chief clerk, he was not simply performing additional duties, but he was deemed the Acting Secretary. We know this, because the chief clerks sometimes sought

  1. 6 See also Act of July 27, 1789, ch. 4, 2, 1 Stat. 28, 29 (providing that the chief clerk in what became the Department of State was “an inferior officer, to be appointed by the [Department’s] principal officer”); Act of Sept. 2, 1789, ch. 12, 1, 1 Stat. 65, 65 (providing for an “Assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury,” later known as the chief clerk, who “shall be appointed by the said Secretary”). The sources cited in the text above indicate that (1) the following chief clerks served as ad interim Secretary of State: Aaron Ogden Dayton, Aaron Vail (twice), Asbury Dickins (ten times), Daniel Carroll Brent (five times), Daniel Fletcher Webster, Jacob L. Martin (three times), John Appleton, John Graham, Nicholas Philip Trist (four times), Richard K. Cralle, William S. Derrick (fifteen times), William Hunter (seven times); (2) the following chief clerks served as ad interim Secretary of the Treasury: Asbury Dickins (eight times), John McGinnis, and McClintock Young (twenty-seven times); and (3) the following chief clerks (or acting chief clerks) served as ad interim Secretary of War: Albert Miller Lee, Archibald Campbell (five times), Christopher Vandeventer, George Graham, John D. McPherson, John Robb (six times), Philip G. Randolph (five times), Samuel J. Anderson, and William K. Drinkard.

 

  1. 7 See 1 Trial of Andrew Johnson at 580-81, 590-91 (entries for William L. Hodge and Peter Washington); Act of Mar. 3, 1849, ch. 108, 13, 9 Stat. 395, 396-97 (providing for appointment by the Secretary of an “Assistant Secretary of the Treasury”).

  1. payment for the performance of those additional duties. Attorney General Legare concluded that Chief Clerk McClintock Young had a claim for compensation as “Secretary of the Treasury ad interim.” Pay of Secretary of the Treasury ad Interim, 4 Op. Att’y Gen. 122, 122-23 (1842). And the Court of Claims later concluded that Congress should appropriate funds to compensate such officers for that service. See, e. g, In re Cornelius Boyle, 34th Cong, 3d Sess., Rep. CC. 44, at 9, 1857 WL 4155, at *4 (Ct. C1. 1857) (“The office of Secretary ad interim being a distinct and independent office in itself, when it is conferred on the chief clerk, it is so conferred not because it pertains to him ex officio, but because the President, in the exercise of his discretion, sees fit to appoint Dickins, 34 Cong. Rep. CC. 9, at 16, 1856 WL 4042, at *3.

 

  1. Congress not only acquiesced in such appointments, but also required a non-Senate-confirmed officer to serve as a principal officer in some instances. In 1810, Congress provided that in the case of a vacancy in the office of the Postmaster General, “all his duties shall be performed by his senior assistant.” Act of Apr. 30, 1810, ch. 37, 1, 2 Stat. 592, 593. The senior assistant was one of two assistants appointed by the Postmaster General. Id. When I Congress reorganized the Post Office in 1836, it again required that the powers and duties of the Postmaster General would, in the case of “death, resignation, or absence” “devolve, for the time being on the First Assistant Postmaster General,” who was still an appointee of the Postmaster General. Act of July 2, 1836, ch. 270, 40, 5 Stat. 80, 89. On four occasions before 1860, a First Assistant Postmaster General served as Postmaster General ad interim. See Biographical Directory at 17-19 (in 1841 (twice), 1849, and 1859).

 

  1. On the eve of the Civil War in January 1861, President Buchanan summarized the Chief Executive’s View of his authority to designate interim officers in a message submitted to Congress to explain who had been performing the duties of the Secretary of War:

 

  1. The practice of making . . . appointments [under the 1795 statute], whether in a vacation or during the session of Congress, has been constantly followed during every administration from the earliest period of the government, and its perfect lawfulness has never, to my knowledge, been questioned or denied. Without going back further than the year 1829, and without taking into the calculation any but the chief officers of the several departments, it will be found that provisional appointments to fill vacancies were made to the number of one hundred and seventy-nine . . . . Some of them were made while the Senate was in session, some which were made in vacation were continued in force long after the Senate assembled. Sometimes, the temporary officer was the commissioned head of another department, sometimes a subordinate in the same department.

 

  1. Message from the President of the United States, 36th Cong, 2d Sess., Exec. Doc. No. 2, at 1-2 (1861) (emphases added).

 

 

  1. When it comes to vacancy statutes, the office of Attorney General presents an unusual case, albeit not one suggesting any different constitutional treatment. The office was established in the Judiciary Act of 1789, see Act of Sept. 24, 1789, ch. 20, 35, 1 Stat. 73, 93, and the Attorney General was a member of the President’s Cabinet, see Office and Duties of Attorney
  2. [page] 11

 

  1. General, 6 Op. Att’y Gen. 326, 330 (1854). But the Attorney General did not supervise an “executive department,” and the Department of Justice was not established until 1870. See Act of June 22, 1870, ch. 150, 1, 16 Stat. 162, 162. Thus, the terms 0fthe 1792, 1795, and 1863 statutes, and of the Vacancies Act of 1868, did not expressly apply to vacancies in the office of the Attorney General.

 

  1. Even so, the President made “temporary appointment[s]” to the office of Attorney General on a number of occasions. In 1854, Attorney General Cushing noted that “proof exists in the files of the department that temporary appointment has been made by the President in that office.” Office and Duties of Attorney General, 6 Op. Att’y Gen. at 352. Because the 1792 and 1795 statutes did not provide the President with express authority for those temporary appointments, Cushing believed it “questionable” whether the President had the power, but he also suggested that “[p]erhaps the truer view of the question is to consider the two statutes as declaratory only, and to assume that the power to make such temporary appointment is a constitutional one.” Id Cushing nonetheless recommended the enactment of “a general provision . . . to remove all doubt on the subject” for the Attorney General and “other non-enumerated departments.” Id.

 

  1. Congress did not immediately remedy the problem that Cushing identified, but Presidents designated Acting Attorneys General, both before and after the Cushing opinion. In some instances, the President chose an officer who already held another Senate-confirmed office. See Acting Attorneys General, 8 Op. O.L.C. 39, 40-41 (1984) (identifying instances in 1848 and 1868 involving the Secretary of the Navy or the Secretary of the Interior).9 In other instances, however, non-Senate-confirmed individuals served. After the resignation of Attorney General James Speed, for instance, Assistant Attorney General J. Hubley Ashton was the ad interim Attorney General from July 17 to July 23, 1866. See id. at 41; Biographical Directory at 20. At the time, the Assistant Attorney General was appointed by the Attorney General alone. See Act of March 3, 1859, ch. 80, 11 Stat. 410, 420 Attorney-General is hereby[] authorized to appoint one assistant in the said office, learned in the law, at an annual salary of three thousand dollars[x]”).10

 

  1. On other occasions between 1859 and 1868, Ashton and other Assistant Attorneys General who had not been Senate confirmed also signed several formal legal opinions as “Acting Attorney General,” presumably when their incumbent Attorney General was absent or otherwise

 

  1. __________

 

  1. 9 This list is almost certainly under-inclusive because the published sources we have located identify only those who were Acting Attorney General during a period between the resignation of one Attorney General and the appointment of his successor. They do not identify individuals who may have performed the functions and duties of Attorney General when an incumbent Attorney General was temporarily unavailable on account of an absence or sickness that would now trigger either 28 U.S.C. 508(a) or 5 U.S.C. 3345(a).

 

  1. 10 In 1868, Congress created two new Assistant Attorneys General positions to be “appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate,” and specified that those positions were “in lieu of,” among others, “the assistant attorney-general now provided for by law,” which was “abolished” effective on July 1, 1868. Act of June 25, 1868, ch. 71, 5, 15 Stat. 75, 75. A few weeks later, Ashton was confirmed by the Senate as an Assistant Attorney General. See 18 Sen. Exec. J. 369 (July 25, 1868). He was therefore holding a Senate-confirmed office when he served another stint as Acting Attorney General for several days at the beginning of the Grant Administration in March 1869, see Biographical Directory at 21, and when he signed five opinions as “Acting Attorney General” in September and October 1868.
  2. [page] 12

 

  1. See Case of Colonel Gates, 11 Op. Att’y Gen. 70, 70 (1864) (noting that the question from the President “reached this office in [the Attorney General’s] absence”). 11 In 1873, when Congress reconciled the Vacancies Act of 1868 with the Department of Justice’s organic statute, it expressly excepted the office of Attorney General from the general provision granting the President power to choose who would temporarily fill a vacant Senate-confirmed office. See Rev. Stat. 179 1st ed. 1875). There is accordingly no Attorney General-specific practice with respect to the pre-1998 statutes.

 

 

  1. Well before the Supreme Court’s foundational decision in Eaton in 1898, courts approved of the proposition that acting officers are entitled to payment for services during their temporary appointments as principal officers. See, e. g. United States v. White, 28 F. Cas. 586, 587 (C.C.D. Md. 1851) (Taney, Circuit J.) often happens that, in unexpected contingencies and for temporary purposes, the appointment of a person already in office, to execute the duties of another office, is more convenient and useful to the public, than to bring in a new officer to execute the Dickins, 34 Cong. Rep. CC. 9, at 17, 1856 WL 4042, at *3 (finding a chief clerk was entitled to additional compensation “for his services as acting Secretary of the Treasury and as acting Secretary of State”). Most significantly, in Boyle, the Court of Claims concluded that the chief clerk of the Navy (who was not Senate confirmed) had properly served as Acting Secretary of the Navy on an intermittent basis over seven years for a total of 466 days. 34 Cong. Rep. CC. 44, at 8, 1857 WL 4155, at *1-2 (1857). The court expressly addressed the Appointments Clause question and distinguished, for constitutional purposes, between the office of Secretary of the Navy and the office of Acting Secretary of the Navy. Id. at 8, 1857 WL 4155 at *3 (“It seems to us . . . plain that the office of Secretary ad interim is a distinct and independent office in itself. It is not the office of Furthermore, the court emphasized, the defining feature of the office of Secretary ad interim was its “temporary” character, and it must therefore be considered an inferior office:

 

  1. Congress has exercised the power of vesting the appointment of a Secretary ad interim in the President alone, and we think, in perfect consistency with the Constitution of the United States. We do not think that there can be any doubt that he is an inferior officer, in the sense of the Constitution, whose appointment may be vested by Congress in the President alone.

 

 

  1. When the Supreme Court addressed this Appointments Clause issue in 1898, it reached a similar conclusion. In United States v. Eaton, the Court considered whether Congress could authorize the President alone to appoint a subordinate officer “charged with the duty of temporarily performing the functions” of a principal officer. 169 US. at 343.

The President’s regulation provided that case a vacancy occurs in the offices both of the consul and the vice-consul, which requires the appointment of a person to perform temporarily the duties of the consulate, the diplomatic representative has authority to make such appointment, with the consent of the foreign government . . . immediate notice being given to the Department of State.” Id. at 338 (quoting regulation). Pursuant to that authority, Sempronius Boyd, who was the diplomatic representative and consul-general to Siam, appointed Lewis Eaton (then a missionary who was not employed by the government) as a vice-consul-general and directed him to take charge of the consulate after Boyd’s departure. Id. at 331-32. With the “knowledge” and “approval” of the Department of State, Eaton remained in charge of the consulate, at times calling himself “acting consul-general of the United States at Bangkok,” from July 12, 1892, until a successor vice-consul-general arrived on May 18, 1893. Id. at 332-33. In a dispute between Boyd’s widow and Eaton over salary payments, the Court upheld Eaton’s appointment, and the underlying statutory scheme, against an Appointments Clause challenge. Id. at 334-35, 352.

 

  1. The Constitution expressly includes “Consuls” in the category of officers whose appointment requires the Senate’s advice and consent. US. Const. art. ll, 2, cl. 2. The Eaton Court, however, concluded that a “Vice-consul” is an inferior officer whose appointment Congress may “vest in the President” alone. 169 US. at 343. The Court held that Eaton’s exercise of the authority of a Senate-confirmed office did not transform him into an officer requiring Senate confirmation:

 

  1. Because the subordinate officer is charged with the performance of the duty of the superior for a limited time and under special and temporary conditions, he is not thereby transformed into the superior and permanent official. To so hold would render void any and every delegation of power to an inferior to perform under any circumstances or exigency the duties of a superior officer, and the discharge of administrative duties would be seriously hindered.

 

  1. The Court concluded that more than forty years of practice “sustain the theory that a vice-consul is a mere subordinate official,” which defeated the contention that Eaton’s appointment required Senate confirmation. Id at 344. In so doing, the Court cited Attorney General Cushing’s 1855 opinion about appointments of consular officials, which had articulated the parameters for that practice. See id.12 Significantly, the Court also made clear that its holding was not limited to vice-consuls or to the exigencies of Eaton’s particular appointment. Rather, the Court emphasized that the temporary performance of a principal office is not the same as holding that office itself. The Court feared that a contrary holding would bear upon “any and every delegation of power to an inferior to perform under any circumstances or exigency.” Id at
  2. __________
  3. 12 In the 1855 opinion, Attorney General Cushing explained that a vice-consul is “the person employed to fill the [consul’s] place temporarily in his absence.” Appointment of Consuls, 7 Op. Att’y Gen. 242, 262? (1855). He noted that consuls had to be Senate-confirmed, but vice-consuls were regarded as the “subordinates of consuls” and therefore did not require “nomination to the Senate.” Id. at 247.
  4. [page] 14
  5. 343 (emphasis added). In View of the long history of such appointments, Eaton simply
  6. confirmed the general rule. It did not work any innovation in that practice. .
  7. The Court has not retreated from Eaton, or narrowed its holding, but instead has repeatedly cited the decision for the proposition that an inferior officer may temporarily perform the duties of a principal officer without Senate confirmation. In Edmond, the Court observed that “’inferior officers’ are officers whose work is directed and supervised at some level by others who were appointed by Presidential nomination with the advice and consent of the Senate.” 520 U.S. at 663. But the Court also observed that there is no “exclusive criterion for distinguishing between principal and inferior officers” and restated Eaton’s holding that “a vice consul charged temporarily with the duties of the consul” is an “inferior” officer. Id at 661. In Morrison, the Court emphasized that a subordinate who performed a principal officer’s duties “for a limited time and under special and temporary conditions” is not “thereby transformed into the superior and permanent official,” and explained that a Vice-consul appointed during the consul’s “temporary absence” remained a “subordinate officer notwithstanding the Appointment Clause’s specific reference to “Consuls” as principal officers.” 487 U.S. at 672-73 (quoting Eaton, 169 U.S. at 343)). Justice Scalia’s dissenting opinion in Morrison similarly described Eaton as holding that “the appointment by an Executive Branch official other than the President of a “vice-consul,” charged with the duty of temporarily performing the function of the consul, did not violate the Appointments Clause.” Id. at 721 (Scalia, .. dissenting). Likewise, in his dissenting opinion in Free Enterprise Fund v. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, 537 F.3d 667 (DC. Cir. 2008), aff’d in part and rev’d in part, 561 U.S. 447 (2010), then-Judge Kavanaugh cited Eaton to establish that “[t]he temporary nature of the office is the . . . reason that acting heads of departments are permitted to exercise authority without Senate confirmation.” Id at 708 n.17 (Kavanaugh, J. dissenting). Notably, Judge Kavanaugh also cited our 2003 opinion, which concluded that an OMB official who was not Senate confirmed could serve as Acting Director of OMB. See id. (citing Acting Director of 0MB, 27 Op. O.L.C. at 123).

 

  1. In SW General, the Court acknowledged the long history of Acts of Congress permitting the President to authorize officials to temporarily perform the functions of vacant offices requiring Senate approval. 137 S. Ct. at 935. Although the Court’s opinion did not address the Appointments Clause, Justice Thomas’s concurring opinion suggested that a presidential directive to serve as an officer under the Vacancies Reform Act should be viewed as an appointment, and that such a direction would “raise [ ] grave constitutional concerns because the Appointments Clause forbids the President to appoint principal officers without the advice and consent of the Senate.? Id. But Justice Thomas also distinguished Eaton on the ground that the acting designation at issue in SW General was not “special and temporary” because it had remained in place “for more than three years in offices limited by statute to a 4-year term.” Id. At 946 n. 1. Justice Thomas’s opinion may therefore be understood to be consistent not only with Eaton, but also with the precedents of this Office, which have found it “implicit” that “the tenure of an Acting Director should not continue beyond a reasonable time.” Status 0f the Acting Director, Office of Management and Budget, 1 Op. O.L.C. 287, 289-90 (1977). Even under Justice Thomas’s opinion, Mr. Whitaker’s designation as Acting Attorney General, which was made one week ago, and which would lapse in the absence of a presidential nomination, should qualify as “special and temporary” under Eaton.

  1. Executive practice and more recent legislation reinforces that an inferior officer may temporarily act in the place of a principal officer. In 1980, for instance, this Office raised no constitutional concerns in concluding (in the context of a non-executive office) that the Comptroller General was statutorily authorized to “designate an employee” of the General Accounting Office to be Acting Comptroller General during the absence or incapacity of both the Senate-confirmed Comptroller General and the Senate-confirmed Deputy Comptroller General. Authority of the Comptroller General to Appoint an Acting Comptroller General, 4B Op. O.L.C 690, 690-91 (1980).

 

  1. Most significantly, in 2003, this Office relied on Eaton in concluding that, although “the position of Director [of is a principal office, . . . an Acting Director [of is only an inferior officer.” Acting Director of OMB, 27 Op. O.L.C. at 123. We did not think that that conclusion had been called into question by Edmond’s statement that an inferior officer is one who reports to a superior officer below the President, because in that case “[t]he Court held only that [g]enerally speaking” an inferior officer is subordinate to an officer other than the President,” and because Edmond did not deal with temporary officers. 27 Op. O.L.C. at 124 (citations omitted). Assuming that for constitutional purposes the official designated as acting head of an agency would need to be an inferior officer (and that the OMB official in question was not already such an officer), we further concluded that the President’s designation of an acting officer under the Act should be regarded as an appointment by the President alone” a constitutionally permissible mode for appointing an inferior officer. Id. at 125. Since then, Presidents George W. Bush and Obama each used their authority under the Vacancies Reform Act to place non-Senate-confirmed Chiefs of Staff in the lines of succession to be the acting head of several federal agencies.13 In three instances, President Obama placed a Chief of Staff above at least one Senate-confirmed officer within the same department.14 And, in practice, during the Bush, Obama, and Trump Administrations, multiple unconfirmed officers were designated to serve as acting agency heads, either under the Vacancies Reform Act or another office-specific

  1. 15 Those determinations reflect the judgments of these administrations that the President may lawfully designate an unconfirmed official, including a Chief of Staff, to serve as an acting principal officer.

 

  1. Congress too has determined in the Vacancies Reform Act and many other currently operative statutes that non-Senate-confirmed officials may temporarily perform the functions of principal officers. By its terms, the Vacancies Reform Act applies to nearly all executive offices for which appointment “is required to be made by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.” 5 U.S.C. 3345(a); see id (excluding only certain members of multi-member boards, commissions, or similar entities). And it specifically provides for different treatment in some respects depending on whether the vacant office is that of an agency head. Id 3348(b)(2). Moreover, the statute contemplates that non-Senate-confirmed officials will be able to serve as acting officers in certain applications of section 3345(a)(1) as well as in all applications of section 3345(a)(3), which refers to an “officer or employee.” The latter provision had no counterpart in the Vacancies Act of 1868, but it was not completely novel, because clerks, who were not Senate-confirmed, were routinely authorized to serve as acting officers under the 1792 and 1795 statutes.16

 

  1. Congress has also enacted various statutes that enable deputies not confirmed by the Senate to act when the office of the Senate-confirmed agency head is vacant. See 12 U.S.C. 4512(f) (providing for an Acting Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency); id 549l(b)(5) (providing for an Acting Director of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection); 21 U.S.C. 1703(a)(3) (providing for an Acting Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy); 40 U.S.C. 302(b) (providing for an Acting Administrator of the General Services Administration); 44 U.S.C. 2103(c) (providing for an Acting Archivist). All of those provisions contemplate the temporary service of non-Senate-confirmed officials as acting

 

  1. __________

 

  1. 15 For example, during this administration, Grace Bochenek, a non-Senate-confirmed laboratory director, served as Acting Secretary of Energy from January 20, 2017, until March 2, 2017; Tim Home, a non-Senate-confirmed Regional Commissioner, served as Acting Administrator of the General Services Administration from January 20, 2017, until December 12, 2017 (pursuant to a designation under a GSA-specific statute); Phil Rosenfelt, a non-Senate-confirmed Deputy General Counsel, served as Acting Secretary of Education from January 20, 2017, until February 7, 2017 (pursuant to a designation under a statute specific to that department); Don Wright, a non-Senate-confirmed Deputy Assistant Secretary, served as Acting Secretary of Health and Human Services from September 30, 2017, until October 10, 2017; Peter O’Rourke, a non-Senate-confirmed Chief of Staff, served as Acting Secretary of Veterans Affairs from May 29, 2018, until July 30, 2018; and Shelia Crowley, a non-Senate-confirmed Chief of Operations, served, upon President Obama’s designation, as Acting Director of the Peace Corps from January 20, 2017, until November 16, 2017. During the Obama administration, Darryl Hairston, a career employee, served as Acting Administrator of the Small Business Administration from January 22, 2009, until April 6, 2009, and Edward Hugler, a non-Senate-confirmed Deputy Assistant Secretary, served as Acting Secretary of Labor from February 2, 2009, until February 24, 2009. During the Bush Administration, Augustine a non-Senate-confirmed Executive Associate Director served as Acting Director of OMB from June 10, 2003, until late June 2003, consistent with our opinion.

 

  1. 16 Echoing the movement in the early nineteenth century to chief clerks rather than Senate-confirmed officials from other departments, section 3345(a)(3) was reportedly the product of a desire to give the President “more flexibility” to use “qualified individuals who have worked within the agency in which the vacancy occurs for a minimum number of days and who are of a minimum grade level.” S. Rep. No. 105-250, at 31 (additional views of Sen. Glenn et id at 35 (minority views of Sens. Durbin and Akaka).

  1. principal officers, and these statutes would appear to be unconstitutional if only a Senate-confirmed officer could temporarily serve as an acting principal officer. Similarly, other current statutes provide that, although the deputy is appointed by the President with the Senate’s advice and consent, the President or the department head may designate another official to act as the agency head, even though that official is not Senate-confirmed. See 20 U.S.C. 3412(a)( 1) (providing that “[t]he Secretary [of Education] shall designate the order in which other officials of the Department shall act for and perform the functions of the Secretary . . . in the event of vacancies in both” the Secretary and Deputy Secretary positions); 31 U.S.C. 502(f) (providing that the President may designate “an officer of the Office [of Management and Budget] to act as Director”); 38 U.S.C. 304 (providing that the Deputy Secretary of Veterans Affairs serves as Acting Secretary “[u]nless the President designates another officer of the Government”); 42 U.S.C. 7132(a) (providing that “[t]he Secretary [of Energy] shall designate the order in which the Under Secretary and other officials shall act for and perform the functions of the Secretary . . . in the event of vacancies in both” the Secretary and Deputy Secretary positions); 49 U.S.C. 102(e) (providing that the Secretary of Transportation shall establish an order of succession that includes Assistant Secretaries who are not Senate-confirmed for instances in which the offices of the Secretary, Deputy Secretary, and Under Secretary of Transportation for Policy are vacant); 4O U.S.C. 302(b) (providing that the Deputy Administrator serves as Acting Administrator of General Services when that office “is vacant,” “unless the President designates another officer of the Federal Government”); cf 44 U.S.C. 304 (limiting the individuals whom the President may choose to serve as Acting Director of the Government Printing Office to those who occupy offices requiring presidential appointment with the Senate’s advice and consent).

 

  1. Indeed, if it were unconstitutional for an official without Senate confirmation to serve temporarily as an acting agency head, then the recent controversy over the Acting Director of the CFPB should have been resolved on that ground alone – even though it was never raised by any party, the district court, or the judges at the appellate argument. On November 24, 2017, the Director of the CF PB appointed a new Deputy Director, expecting that she would become the Acting Director upon his resignation later that day. Acting Director of CFPB, 41 Op. O.L.C. at *2 n. 1. The Director of the CFPB relied on 12 U.S.C. 5491(b)(5), which expressly contemplates that a non-Senate-confirmed official (the Deputy Director) will act as a principal officer (the Director). The President, however, exercised his authority under 5 U.S.C. 3345(a)(2) to designate the Director of OMB as Acting Director of the CF PB. See English, 279 F. Supp. 3d at 330. When the Deputy Director challenged the President’s action, we are not aware that anyone ever contended that the Deputy Director was constitutionally ineligible to serve as Acting Director because she had not been confirmed by the Senate. If the newly
  2. installed Deputy Director of the CFPB could lawfully have become the Acting Director, then the
  3. Chief of Staff to the Attorney General may serve as Acting Attorney General in the case of a vacancy.

 

 

  1. The constitutionality of Mr. Whitaker’s designation as Acting Attorney General is supported by Supreme Court precedent, by acts of Congress passed in three different centuries,
  2. and by countless examples of executive practice. To say that the Appointments Clause now
  3. [page] 18

 

  1. prohibits the President from designating Mr. Whitaker as Acting Attorney General would mean that the Vacancies Reform Act and a dozen statutes were unconstitutional, as were countless prior instances of temporary service going back to at least the Jefferson Administration.

 

  1. There is no question that Senate confirmation is an important constitutional check on the President’s appointments of senior officers. The Senate’s role “serves both to curb Executive abuses of the appointment power, and to promote a judicious choice of [persons] for filling the offices of the union.” Edmond, 520 US. at 659 (internal quotation marks omitted). At the same time, the “constitutional process of Presidential appointment and Senate confirmation . . . can take time: The President may not settle on a nominee to fill an office; the Senate may be unable, or unwilling, to speedily confirm the nominee once submitted.” SW General, 137 S. Ct. at 935. Despite their frequent disagreements over nominees, for over 200 years, Congress and the President have agreed upon the value and permissibility of using temporary appointments, pursuant to limits set by Congress, in order to overcome the delays of the confirmation process.

 

  1. If the President could not rely on temporary designations for principal offices, then the efficient functioning of the Executive Branch would be severely compromised. Because most Senate-confirmed officials resign at the end of an administration, a new President must rely on acting officials to serve until nominees have been confirmed. If Senate confirmation were required before anyone could serve, then the Senate could frustrate the appropriate functioning of the Executive Branch by blocking the confirmation of principal officers for some time. See 144 Cong. Rec. 27496 (Oct. 21, 1998) (statement of Sen. Thompson) (noting that section 3345(a)(3) had been added because “[c]oncerns had been raised that, particularly early in a presidential administration, there will sometimes be vacancies in first assistant positions, and that there will not be a large number of Senate-confirmed officers in the government,” as well as “concerns . . . about designating too many Senate-confirmed persons from other offices to serve as acting officers in additional positions?). A political dispute with the Senate could frustrate the President’s ability to execute the laws by delaying the appointment of his principal officers.

 

  1. The problems with a contrary rule are not limited to the beginning of an administration. Many agencies would run into problems on an ongoing basis, because they have few officers subject to Senate confirmation. Thus, when a vacancy in the top spot arises, such an agency would either lack a head or be forced to rely upon reinforcements from Senate-confirmed appointees outside the agency. Those outside officers may be inefficient choices when a non-Senate-confirmed officer within the agency is more qualified to act as a temporary caretaker. At best, designating a Senate-confirmed officer to perform temporary services would solve a problem at one agency only by cannibalizing the senior personnel of another.

 

  1. It is true that these concerns do not apply to the current circumstances of the Department of Justice, which is staffed by a number of Senate-confirmed officers. Following Attorney General Sessions’ resignation, the President could have relied upon the Deputy Attorney General, the Solicitor General, or an Assistant Attorney General to serve as Acting Attorney General. But the availability of potential alternatives does not disable Congress from providing the President with discretion to designate other persons under section 3345(a)(3) of the Vacancies Reform Act. Nothing in the text of the Constitution or historical practice suggests that
  2. [page] 19
  3. the President may turn to an official who has not been confirmed by the Senate if, but only if, there is no appropriate Senate-confirmed official available.
  4. The President’s designation to serve as Acting Attorney General of a senior Department of Justice official who does not currently hold a Senate-confirmed office is expressly authorized by 5 U.S.C. 3345(a)(3). Mr. Whitaker has been designated based upon a statute that permits him to serve as Acting Attorney General for a limited period, pending the Senate’s consideration of a nominee for Attorney General. Consistent with our 2003 opinion, with Eaton, and with two centuries of practice, we advised that his designation would be lawful.

POLITICAL ALBATROSS SYNDROME. We think Democrats are suffering from POLITICAL ALBATROSS SYNDROME. BARREL & PORK.

BARREL, Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and Clintons and Obamas and the democrats cannot sidestep the fact that they have negative messages and they have done nothing to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS. Chuck and Nancy and Clintons and Obamas and their cronies have no platform of substance that is helpful to us. Their policies are all albatrosses around their necks. The democrats are suffering from what I call POLITICAL ALBATROSS SYNDROME. 


Unless the democrats jettison their current leadership and their albatrosses, they have little or no hope of winning elections and governing.


What do you mean, albatrosses and albatross syndrome, PORK? 


BARREL, the albatross is a very big sea bird. 


In the poem “The Rime of the ancient Mariner,” by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the sailor who shoots and kills the friendly albatross is compelled by the ship crew to wear the albatross carcass around his neck as a terrible punishment because the crew blames the sailor for the horribly bad luck that befalls the ship and the crew.


Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi and Clintons and Obamas and their cronies have saddled the rank and file democrats with policies that don’t work and now at minimum these 5 albatrosses are hanging around the necks of Chuck and Nancy and Clintons and Obamas and their cronies and by extension all democrats, and they must jettison and get rid of them if they are ever to be relevant, win elections, and govern well, if at all – hence my characterization – the democratic party leadership and many if not all democrats are suffering from political albatross syndrome.


1) ALBATROSS ONE. They have done nothing of substance to help us be FREE. 


2) ALBATROSS TWO. They have done nothing of substance to help us be SAFE. 


3) ALBATROSS THREE. They have done nothing of substance to help us be PROSPEROUS. 


4) ALBATROSS FOUR. They have a policy of CRITICISM and ACCUSATIONS of POTUS Trump and anyone, Judge Kavanaugh included, who does anything to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS. 


5) ALBATROSS FIVE. They have a policy of INVESTIGATIONS designed to marginalize POTUS Trump and all efforts to help us, to help America, be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS. 


6) ALBATROSS SIX. They have a globalist policy of open borders without proper vetting and e-verification and this to our definite harm. 


All women want to be safe. 


All men want to be safe. 


All who come to America need to come through the front door, be vetted and e-verified. 


Our borders are valued and must be protected with troops, with a wall, whatever is necessary. 


All immigration into the U.S. must be orderly.


7) ALBATROSS SEVEN. They have a globalist policy of open abortion to the genocidal destruction of BLACK babies and HISPANIC babies and NATIVE AMERICAN babies and JEWISH AMERICAN babies and ASIAN AMERICAN babies and CAUCASIAN babies. 


You and I both know, BARREL, that primarily on the democrat’s watch and at their instance more than 300,000,000 American unborn babies have been surgically and chemically killed, murdered, dismembered since Roe v Wade in 1973. 


50,000,000+ were BLACK babies. 50,000,000+ were HISPANIC babies. (It is no wonder we see BLEXIT – and Walkaway – with Blacks and Hispanics and others leaving the democratic party in droves.)


The other 200,000,000+ were JEWISH, NATIVE AMERICAN, ASIAN AMERICAN, and CAUCASIAN babies.


The only one who is keeping his positive campaign promises front and center with laser focus on helping us and our unborn be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS is POTUS Trump and most of his colleagues.

Bob Woodward “FEAR” MONGERING? Yes. BARREL & PORK.

BARREL, IS BOB WOODWARD GUILTY OF FEARMONGERING? IS BOB A “FEAR” MONGER?

PORK, LOOKS LIKE IT. LOOKS LIKE BOB IS TRUMPED ON THIS ONE. 

  1. Fearmongering is “the action of deliberately arousing public fear or alarm about a particular issue. It is the intentional “spreading of frightening and exaggerated rumors of an impending danger or the habit or tactic of purposely and needlessly arousing public fear about an issue.
  2. A Fearmonger, in this case who would appear to be Bob Woodward, is thus defined as a person who engages in fearmongering.
  1. (https://www.google.com/search?q=Fearmongering+def&oq=Fearmongering+def&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.4416j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fearmongering)
  1. Also, there is a Code of ethics of the Society of Professional Journalists, and Bob Woodward claims to be a professional journalist. Should he violate his Code of ethics, it looks like it is fair to determine that Bob Woodward is not a Professional Journalist.
  2. In his recent “FEAR” mongering book, incidentally titled “FEAR,” Bob sets himself up as judge and jury of POTUS Donald J Trump by stringing together a series of interviews, some of which are “ANONYMOUS” which leads me to conclude that Bob’s “FEAR” BOOK is just like the “ANONYMOUS” LETTER PRINTED BY THE NEW YORK TIMES, except many pages longer.
  3. Let’s take a few minutes and see if Bob adheres to his Code of ethics as a professional journalist.
  4. Is Bob guilty of being a FEARMONGER?
  5. Is his book “FEAR” simply a case of Bob engaging in FEARMONGERING, but this time on steroids and obviously for a $10 million advance from the publisher – according to O’Reilly?
  1. First, let’s set forth and take a hard look at Bob’s journalism Code of ethics.
  1. As a journalist, Bob has both “rights and responsibilities.
  2. “These are set forth in the code of ethics of the Society of Professional Journalists.
  3. “The society’s code is voluntarily embraced by thousands of journalists [including Bob], regardless of place or platform, and is widely used in newsrooms and classrooms as a guide for ethical behavior.
  4. “The code is intended not as a set of “rules.”
  5. “It is not — nor can it be under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution — legally enforceable.
  6. “Instead, it is intended as a [mandatory] resource for [Bob’s] ETHICAL DECISION-MAKING.
  7. “Preamble
  8. “Members of the Society of Professional Journalists believe that public enlightenment is the forerunner of justice and the foundation of democracy.
  9. “The duty of [Bob] the journalist is to further those ends by seeking truth and providing a fair and comprehensive account of events and issues.
  10. “Conscientious journalists from all media and specialties [including Bob] strive to serve the public with thoroughness and honesty.
  11. “Professional integrity is the cornerstone of [Bob’s journalistic] credibility.
  12. “Members of the Society [, including Bob] share a dedication to ethical behavior and adopt this code [as declaration of] the Society’s [and in this case Bob’s] principles and standards of practice.
  13. Bob’s first aim as a journalist is to “Seek truth and report it
  14. [Bob the Journalist, kind of like Bob the Builder] “should be –
  15. “honest,
  16. “fair
  17. “and courageous
  18. “in gathering,
  19. “reporting
  20. “and interpreting information.
  21. Bob the Journalist, as a professional “Journalist should:
  22. “Test the accuracy of information from ALL sources [I think I recall from the TRUMP Woodward phone conversation that Bob the Journalist did not interview POTUS.]
  23. “and exercise care to avoid inadvertent error.
  24. “Deliberate distortion is never permissible.
  25. Bob the Journalist, as a professional journalist, is to “Diligently seek out subjects of news stories
  26. “to give them the opportunity to respond to allegations of wrongdoing. [Sounds like Bob the Journalist didn’t do this.]
  27. and to “Identify sources whenever feasible. [Sounds like Bob the Journalist didn’t do this either.]
  28. “The public is entitled to as much information as possible on sources’ reliability. [How many ANONYMOUS SOURCES are there in Bob the Journalist’s alleged expose?]
  29. “Always question sources’ motives before promising anonymity.
  30. “Clarify conditions attached to any promise made in exchange for information.
  31. “Keep promises.
  32. “Make certain that headlines,
  33. “news teases
  34. “and promotional material,
  35. “photos,
  36. “video,
  37. “audio,
  38. “graphics,
  39. “sound bites and
  40. “quotations
  41. “do not misrepresent.
  42. “They should not oversimplify
  43. “or highlight incidents out of context.
  44. Bob, as a professional journalist, is to “Never distort the content of news photos or video.
  45. “Image enhancement for technical clarity is always permissible.
  46. “Label montages and photo illustrations.
  47. “Avoid misleading re-enactments or staged news events.
  48. “If re-enactment is necessary to tell a story, label it.
  49. Bob the Journalist, as a professional journalist, is to “Avoid undercover
  50. “or other surreptitious methods
  51. “of gathering information
  52. “except when traditional open methods will not yield information vital to the public. [DID BOB THE JOURNALIST use “undercover” or “other surreptitious methods” to gather any of the information in Bob the Journalists book of “FEAR?”
  53. “Use of such methods should be explained as part of the story.
  54. “Never plagiarize. [Did Bob plagiarize?]
  55. “Tell the story of the diversity and magnitude of the human experience boldly,
  56. “even when it is unpopular to do so.
  57. “Examine [his] own cultural values
  58. “and avoid imposing those values on others. [Did Bob the Journalist as part of his book of “FEAR” examine his own cultural values and avoid imposing those values on the rest of us?]
  59. “Avoid stereotyping
  60. “by race, gender, age, religion, ethnicity, geography, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance or social status. [Does Bob the Journalist stereotype POTUS Trump by any of these characteristics?]
  61. “Support the open exchange of views, even views [Bob finds] repugnant. [Does Bob the Journalist’s book of “FEAR” set forth any other views? For example, does Bob the Journalist acknowledge that POTUS Trump has kept 44 of his promises including but not necessarily limited to the fact that 90% of the country is happy POTUS Trump is making progress to help us be FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS on so many fronts. Does Bob the Journalist acknowledge that POTUS Trump is to be honored for keeping these 44 promises? [And no doubt others.]

  39. RUSSIA building a relationship to prevent nuclear war.

  41. SUPREME COURT CHOICES rational and helpful to the nation.
  42. TAXES major reductions.
  43. VETERANS support.
  44. BUILDING THE WALL.
  1. Bob the Journalist is to “Give voice to the voiceless; official and unofficial sources of information can be equally valid.
  2. “Distinguish between advocacy and news reporting.
  3. “Analysis and commentary should be labeled [Was it?]
  4. “and not misrepresent fact or context. [Was it?]
  5. “Distinguish news from advertising
  6. “and shun hybrids that blur the lines between the two.
  7. “Recognize a special obligation to ensure that the public’s business is conducted in the open [including the requirement that each person who criticized do so in the open so his or her credibility can be vetted.]
  8. “and that government records are open to inspection.
  9. Bob the Journalist’s duty as a professional journalist is to “Minimize harm
  10. Ethical journalists treat sources, subjects and colleagues as human beings deserving of respect.[Has Bob the Journalist done so vis a vis POTUS Trump and FLOTUS Trump and their family?]
  11. “Journalists [in this case Bob the Journalist] should:
  12. “Show compassion for those who may be affected adversely by news coverage. [How about Melania?]
  13. “Use special sensitivity when dealing with children and inexperienced sources or subjects. [How about Baron?]
  14. “Be sensitive when seeking or using interviews or photographs of those affected by tragedy or grief.
  15. “Recognize that gathering and reporting information may cause harm or discomfort.
  16. “Pursuit of the news is not a license for arrogance. [To what degree is Bob the Journalist’s book of “FEAR” for the $10 million advance money and founded in Bob the Journalist’s arrogance? Both good questions.]
  17. “Recognize that private people have a greater right to control information about themselves than do public officials and others who seek power, influence or attention.
  18. “Only an overriding public need can justify intrusion into anyone’s privacy.
  19. “Show good taste.
  20. “Avoid pandering to lurid curiosity.
  21. “Be cautious about identifying juvenile suspects or victims of sex crimes.
  22. “Be judicious about naming criminal suspects before the formal filing of charges.
  23. “Balance a criminal suspect’s fair trial rights with the public’s right to be informed.
  24. Bob the Journalist as a professional journalist is obligated to “Act independently
  25. Bob, as a journalist “should be free of obligation to any interest other than the public’s right to know.
  26. Bob, as a journalist, “should:
  27. “Avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived.
  28. “Remain free of associations and activities that may compromise integrity or damage credibility.
  29. “Refuse
  30. “gifts,
  31. “favors,
  32. “fees,
  33. “free travel
  34. “and special treatment,
  35. “and shun secondary employment,
  36. “political involvement,
  37. “public office
  38. “and service in community organizations
  39. “if they compromise [his] journalistic integrity.
  40. Bob, as a professional journalist is obligated to “Disclose unavoidable conflicts. [How much conflict is there in a $10 million advance if such, as stated by Bill O is correct?]
  41. “Be vigilant and courageous about holding those with power accountable. [Would Bob the Journalist’s “FEAR” efforts have been better used to give us answers to the Clinton questions that still remain unanswered?]
  42. “Deny favored treatment to advertisers
  43. “and special interests
  44. “and resist their pressure to influence news coverage.
  45. “Be wary of sources offering information for favors or money;
  46. “avoid bidding for news.
  47. Bob the Journalist, as a professional journalist is obligated to “Be accountable
  48. “Journalists are accountable to their readers,
  49. “[accountable to their] listeners,
  50. “[accountable to their] viewers
  51. “and [accountable to] each other.
  52. Bob, as a professional journalist should:
  53. “Clarify and explain news coverage

  56. “Admit mistakes and correct them promptly.
  57. “Expose unethical practices of journalists and the news media.
  58. “Abide by the same high standards to which they hold others.
  59. “This information was adapted from the website of the Society of Professional Journalists. … Last updated: March 30, 2009
  60. (See https://journalistsresource.org/tip-sheets/foundations/code-of-ethics)
  61. Now let’s compare Bob’s activities that were basic to his writing and publishing his new book of FEAR. What do we glean from those who allegedly were interviewed? Is Bob a FEARMONGER? Looks like it. The title “FEAR” alone says it all.
  62.  I watched Bill O’Reilly comment about Bob’s book. Bill said, paraphrased, “How hard is it to find someone in an inner circle to say nasty things about the boss? Not hard at all.”
  63.        Bill’s focused on the many anonymous sources Bob uses.

134,     Bill says he believes “General Mattis.” General Mattis says that he General Mattis did not say what Bob the Journalist says he said. General Mattis says the Woodward book is fiction.

  1. Looks like Bob the Journalist has done a good job of “MONGERING” “FEAR” WHICH MUST MAKE BOB A “FEAR” MONGER.
  2. Neither did Bob interview POTUS Trump, nor give him an opportunity to respond to Bob’s criticisms which not only must make Bob a “FEAR” monger but also makes Bob much less than a professional journalist.

BARREL, after all you have said and done, and you have to admit you have said more than you have done on this one, Bob the Journalist and his publisher, at POTUS Trump’s expense, and that of his family and supporters, is enjoying bank by selling lots of Bob the Journalist’s “FICTION ACCORDING TO GENERAL MATTIS” “FEAR” book.

PORK, DID YOU HEAR THAT SAUDI ARABIA CRUCIFIED A MAN FOR MURDER, THEFT, ATTEMPTED RAPE.

Yes, I did, BARREL. Click here to read the details. https://www.bloombergquint.com/onweb/2018/08/08/saudi-arabia-carries-out-rare-crucifixion-for-murder-theft#gs.kj7Rr5A

BARREL, as a reminder, I have this set of 25 questions for POTUS Trump.

What are they, PORK?

POTUS Trump:

  1. Don’t you think Congress has had its chance to build the wall?
  2. Don’t you think Congress has failed and needs to be “fired?”
  3. Don’t you think Congress, especially democrats, has failed and any responsibility for the wall and its funding needs to be removed from their oversight?
  4. POTUS Trump, in your business, if your employees were dragging their feet and not getting the job done, wouldn’t you fire them promptly?
  5. Wouldn’t you personally take charge and get the project done?
  6. Don’t you have the power to build the complete wall immediately? YOU DO.
  7. Don’t you have plenty of money in the military budget to build the wall immediately? YOU DO.
  8. Don’t you think it is time to pull all stops and get the wall done now?
  9. Don’t you think it is time to assign the Army Corps of Engineers to build the wall in the next month?
  10. Doesn’t the Army Corps of Engineers have the capacity to build the wall in war time? YES THEY DO.
  11. Doesn’t the U.S. Military have the capacity to build the wall in the next two months? YES THEY DO.
  12. Don’t you think we are at war with the drug cartels and other terrorist groups and even certain nations? YES WE ARE.
  13. In any war time situation, wouldn’t the Army Corps of Engineers and Military under General Mattis be called upon to move extremely fast? YES THEY WOULD.
  14. Again, are we not at war with the Mexican drug cartels and terrorists groups and even other nations? YES WE ARE!Are they not killing thousands of our young and old with their illicit drugs and gang members?  YES THEY ARE.
  15. Don’t you think the most humane treatment of all regarding those from whatever country who are trying to come to the U.S. is to put a complete end to illicit border crossings by shutting down the coyotes completely? YES IT IS.
  16. Don’t you think it is humane and the right thing to do and beyond time to seal the border and make everyone come in through the front gate and be vetted?
  17. Don’t you think it is time for you to give a very detailed progress report to the nation about the status of the WALL BUILD and the safety of the nation?
  18. Isn’t your approval rating high – in our judgment 80% – 90% not hovering at 50% as some would have us believe? We propose that this is true regardless of polls because you command 90% of the media attention in the nation and world.
  19. Didn’t we vote for you because you said you would build the wall and make Mexico pay for it?
  20. Don’t you think it is time to make good on your promise?
  21. Don’t you think you ought to get out of your Oval Office chair and report on the wall and launch a major build the wall effort BEFORE THE COMING ELECTIONS?
  22. POTUS Trump, did you or did you not promise you would build the wall, no excuses?
  23. Don’t you think it is time to REPORT TO THE NATION AND BUILD THE WALL NOW?
  24. Don’t you think you ought to hire us, BARREL & PORK, to put all of your promises on a grid so you can report daily to the American people about your progress in keeping your promises?
  25. Don’t you think top of the list should be BUILD THE WALL AND MAKE MEXICO PAY FOR IT?

How republicans can win elections. BARREL & PORK.

POTUS TRUMP APPROVAL RATING IS 80 TO 90%.


DO NOTHING DISAFFECTED REPUBLICANS AND DO NOTHING DEMOCRATS SCHUMER, PELOSI, AND OTHERS, CONTINUE THEIR DOWNWARD SPIRAL INTO OBLIVION, WHILE POTUS TRUMP CONTINUES TO DELIVER ON HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISES.

POTUS TRUMP APPROVAL RATING IS 80 to 90%.

  1. POTUS TRUMP chalks up another campaign promise done. POTUS TRUMP says this Russia reset with President Putin will be an even greater success with many positive things to come. [Discussed working together to eliminate terrorism, working together to eliminate Syrian conflict and provide humanitarian aid, coupled with talks of reducing nuclear armaments.]
  2. Do nothing democrats and disaffected republicans went and still are nuts with Trump Derangement Syndrome. All they can do is accuse both POTUS TRUMP and President Putin, while still doing nothing, all the while having “no, none, not any, not one, zero, zilch, zip, nil, didly, nada, nought, insignificant,  infinitesimal, minimal, piddling, trivial, tiny, unimportant, goose egg, void, blank, no good, good-for-nothing, boring, zippo, nonexistent, valueless, insipid, monotonous, unimaginative, uninspired, uninspiring, characterless, flat, uninteresting, lackluster, dull, drab, boring, dry, humdrum, ho-hum, monochrome, tedious, uneventful, run-of-the-mill if at all, commonplace, pedestrian, trite, tired, hackneyed, stale, lame wishy-washy, colorless, anemic, lifeless”  democrat policies, none of which are designed to help us be free, safe, and prosperous.
  3. So, BARREL, you got carried away with your synonyms for the word nothing.
  4. Not really, PORK. The truth will out. We have told the democrats and say the same thing to the disaffected republicans how to win elections but only a couple have listened.
  5. Remind me, BARREL.
  6. They need to stop the POTUS TRUMP bashing completely and take on the true role as statesmen and stateswomen with only our interests at heart. They need to keep their “positive” campaign promises. All this talk about impeachment, all this foolish talk by Maxine Waters, all this beyond the pale talk about POTUS TRUMP not being true to us and the nation, all this collusion talk is garbage. They need to work with POTUS TRUMP. They need to prepare and live by a set of positive policies and programs that keep us and our unborn FREE, SAFE, and PROSPEROUS, nothing more, nothing less.

AG Jeff Sessions Recusal or Un recusal? You decide. BARREL & PORK.

BARREL, Do you think AG Jeff Sessions should un-recuse hemself?

I do, PORK. Take a look at these questions and see what you think. You decide.

  1. AG Jeff Sessions whether or not the Inspector General Report indicates crimes have been committed, don’t you think it is time to un-recuse yourself today and terminate the Mueller investigation and take full charge of the DOJ including the FBI and indict those who committed crimes so we can have some peace?
  2. Why you recused yourself is still in large measure a mystery to most of us rank and file citizens?
  3. Your recusal appears to many of us to be sheer nonsense?
  4. Did you know you were going to recuse yourself before you took office as A.G. and did you intentionally fail to inform POTUS Trump so he was prevented from appointing someone else?
  5. Once you did know you were going to recuse yourself, did you intentionally fail to inform POTUS Trump so he was again prevented from appointing someone else?
  6. Did you recuse yourself because the Republican leadership complained, as one more prescient article argues?
  7. Did you recuse yourself because the Democrat leadership complained?
  8. Did you recuse yourself because of federal statute?
  9. Did you recuse yourself because of DOJ policy?
  10. Did you recuse yourself out of a moral duty?
  11. Would you recuse yourself again knowing that the Russian narrative which has been beaten to death by the progressive liberal media was fashioned by H. Clinton and Mr. Podesta and DNC cronies as an explanation for H. Clinton’s loss and as a way to paralyze a sitting president?
  12. Some of the above?
  13. All of the above?
  14. AG Jeff Sessions whether or not the Inspector General Report indicates crimes have been committed, don’t you think it is time to un-recuse yourself today and terminate the Mueller investigation and take full charge of the DOJ including the FBI and indict those who committed crimes so we can have some peace as a nation?
  15. Is there any evidence of collusion with the Russians between then candidate Trump or now POTUS Trump? If not, the Mueller investigation should not exist?
  16. Is there any evidence the Russians meddled in the 2016 investigation and in any way harmed either candidate? If not, the Mueller investigation should not exist?
  17. AG Jeff Sessions whether or not the Inspector General Report indicates crimes have been committed, please un-recuse yourself today and terminate the Mueller investigation and take full charge of the DOJ including the FBI and indict those who committed the crimes so we can have some peace?
  18. There are major unexplained allegations from Peter Sweizer and others that H. and B. Clinton and their cronies committed Email-gate and Uranium-gate and Clinton Foundation Pay to Play multi-million dollar Foreign Bribe Money gate and Tarmac gate and Russia $500,000 gate and Russia and China military secrets for campaign money gate and Funding the Dossier fake news gate and money laundering DNC funds gate to destroy Bernie and POTUS Trump to name a few of the H. Clinton gates?
  19. There are major unexplained allegations that B. Obama committed Iran billions gate crimes and FISA gate and conspiracy to marginalize and destroy a sitting president gate crimes, both of which are far more egregious than Watergate ever hoped to be?
  20. AG Jeff Sessions whether or not the Inspector General Report indicates crimes have been committed, please un-recuse yourself today and terminate the Mueller investigation and take full charge of the DOJ including the FBI and indict those who committed the crimes so we can have some peace?
  21. Since recusing yourself, you have obviously done a superb job with immigration and gangs and other crimes and for which you deserve accolades!
  22. Since recusing yourself you have also been paralyzed when it comes to the obvious alleged crimes committed by the Clintons and B. Obama and their cronies and co-conspirators?
  23. The nation is sick and tired of the Mueller ambiguous, unfettered, diversionary, open ended search for crimes?
  24. Allegations are that Mr. Mueller is not objective because he is a close confidant of admitted leaker James Comey and that alone is reason Mr. Mueller should have refused the assignment?
  25. Allegations are that the Mueller investigation has cost us tax payers millions of dollars and that all who are on the Mueller team are becoming millionaires simply by drawing out this sham investigation?
  26. Allegations are that Peter Strzok was and is conflicted as part of the conspiracy to destroy POTUS Trump?
  27. Allegations are that Lisa Page was conflicted as part of the conspiracy to destroy POTUS Trump?
  28. Allegations are that all on the special counsel team are democrats and thus all are conflicted?
  29. Allegations are that Andrew Weissman is conflicted as anti-Trump?
  30. Allegations are that Bruce G. Ohr is conflicted as anti-Trump?
  31. Allegations are that Andrew McCabe is conflicted as anti-Trump?
  32. Allegations are that Deputy AG Rosenstein is conflicted, among other reasons because he gave oversight to the Uranium One investigation involving Russian bribery and kickbacks?
  33. Allegations are that the FBI participated in a political cover-up?
  34. Allegations are that they infiltrated the Trump campaign with spy(s)?
  35. Allegations are that they did so to aid H. Clinton and her cronies who if true collectively are crooks?.
  36. Allegations are that Robert Mueller was over the FBI at the time and so is conflicted?
  37. Allegations are also that Robert Mueller is a close confident of James Comey and so is conflicted?
  38. Allegations are that Mr. Mueller’s probe has no supervision from you or from anyone in the DOJ whatsoever?
  39. Allegations are that Mr. Mueller is AWOL as not answerable to anyone which is contrary to all common sense?
  40. AG Jeff Sessions whether or not the Inspector General Report indicates crimes have been committed, please send a letter to POTUS Trump today and un-recuse yourself and terminate the Mueller investigation and jettison him and his partisans and take full charge of the DOJ including the FBI and indict those who committed crimes so we can have some peace?
  41. Is it Time for AG Jeff Sessions to Un-Recuse Himself? We don’t want you to resign. We want you to step to the plate and manage and give oversight to the DOJ properly?
  42. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2017 @ 2:25 PM
