Notes from the Resistance
Former Virginia sheriff convicted of bribery in badges-for-dollars scheme – Scott Jenkins of Culpeper County was found guilty of selling deputy credentials to men who wanted to avoid traffic tickets and carry concealed guns without permits. [More]
Who does this guy think he is, Laurie Smith?
Or Lee Baca…?

Instead of enforcing the law, federal prosecutors say a Miami-Dade correctional officer was breaking it to make money off drugs and contraband. Vernell Lawson, who no longer works as a correctional officer, appeared in court on Wednesday accused of abusing his position to engage in drug trafficking and contraband dealing. [More]
So, shouldn’t they call him a former Miami-Dade correctional officer…”

Pueblo Police Officer resigns prior to termination during criminal investigation [More]
Then when we finally figure out what he did, they can distance themselves from systemic enabling culpability by calling him a “former police officer.”

The NYPD’s top cop who suddenly resigned late Friday night following damning allegations he greenlit a subordinate’s jaw-dropping overtime pay has a checkered past. [More]
That would be this subordinate…
And it wasn’t just her jaw that she dropped.
They get guns and you don’t.

NYPD’s $400K-a-year top earner, Quathisha Epps, is retiring early as astronomical overtime pay is investigated: sources [More]
How many criminals did she collar and crimes did she stop?
As long as they’re investigating, here’s something I’d check out because I’ve seen it done before in San Francisco and Philadelphia:
Had she consistently completed all firearms qualification recertifications to carry a gun?

This time, it was two Homeland Security agents in Utah, who allegedly sold seized drugs through an informant, earning up to $300,000 per to court documents and according to Yahoo Finance. According to an FBI affidavit, the agents sold “bath salts” to the informant weekly from spring to December, with each ounce sold for $5,000 and resold at a higher price. [More]
I like the way TV and movies always show these guys as heroes.

Basically if somebody was trying to subpoena emails of a member of congress because of a potential crime or something, this would allow them to quash such a subpoena. [More]
Musk and Ramaswamy are all over this.
As long as the CR game is played, the bastards will continue to slip stuff in and take stuff out that only few will noticwe, and that will be passed out of desperation or “the government will shut down.”
I’m waiting to see how soon someone will find hidden gun-grabs.

DNC Cmte Member, Fmr. Harris Surrogate: Biden, Harris ‘Lied to Us for the Past Four Years’ About Biden’s Cognitive State [More]
I’ve been calling him the Dotard-in-Chief for 3 ½ of those…
I wonder if there’s any damage the new administration/GOP Congress will be able to undo by proving he was not competent to sign orders and laws, so they were passed without proper Constitutional authority…
[Via bondmen]
“This does not affect casework. This is purely a statistical issue, this is not an operational issue.” [More]
If they’re truly that incompetent, how can we belive that conclusion? How do we know it’s not a purely political issue with intent to make department performance and credit look better than it should be?
I mean, the boobs can’t tally a simple report but they can give four chiefs $500K buyouts and pass out double-digit pay increases to everyone with a snout in the trough…

Boston City Councilor Arrested on Federal Public Corruption Charges in Alleged ‘Kickback’ Scheme – “The charges stem from an alleged kickback scheme she orchestrated to obtain several thousand dollars in taxpayer money in exchange for bribes paid” [More]
How ’bout #stopdemocratcrime … ?

Police illegally sell restricted weapons, supplying crime [More]
It’s a prickly issue, alright…
On the one hand, I see the danger.
On the other, it seems like Democrats could use this to call for destruction rather than resale to the public…
If government just followed the law, we woudn’t have this problem.

By Pardoning Hunter, Joe Biden Covers Up His Own Influence-Peddling Crimes [More]
Who else will he pardon on his way out?
That’s another reason why they keep him propped up in office, because a pardon issued by someone who is not competent to issue it would hardly be legal.
In other words, the president’s not pardoning them, his handlers are.
[Via bondmen]
These lying @$$holes haven’t said any more either.
That they raise money as “Republicans” is nothing less than fraud, and since they do it to influence political power and laws, ought to be treated as such.
Eric Holder appears out of the woodwork to justify Hunter Biden pardon, argues ATF Form 4473 is irrelevant [More]
And if we can’t believe Eric Holder, who can we believe?

Getting to the Bottom of Matt Gaetz’s Nomination and Withdrawal [More]
No doubt Deep State extortion and partisan DOJ corruption were at the center of this. That said, he stuck his own head in the noose. Who the hell sends money to sex partners? AG power for someone that exploitable would just tighten the grips on the strings.
[Via bondmen]
FBI Special Agent Arrested on Two Counts of Second-Degree Rape, Sexual Abuse in Maryland — Lured Women to Photoshoots with Promise of Modeling Jobs [More]
Interacting with citizens under false pretenses and then entrapping them and screwing them over…? I’m trying to figure out where he deviated from standard practices…
[Via Michael G]
Al Sharpton accuses Trump of loving to fan racial flames [More]
The best gaslighting is just so shamelessly hypocritical it leaves sane people sputtering.
The old race fraud’s got to do something to distract from his pay-to-play exposure.
What’s Going On Here? Paper-Shredding Truck Spotted Outside Department of Justice Building Days After Trump Announces Matt Gaetz Attorney General Nomination [More]
Looks like that’s been taken care of…
At least we know the old ways still work.
[Via bondmen]
“The devil you know,” he remarked, may be preferable to sprawling bureaucracies with even more power to interfere with lawful gun ownership. [More]
Couldn’t have said it better myself…
As for “ATF, when properly managed, serves a legitimate purpose—targeting violent offenders and assisting the firearms industry in compliance,” first, compliance with what that doesn’t run afoul of “shall not be infringed”?
As for “violent offenders,” there are three crimes the feds are Constitutionally delegated power to combat, and unless the baddies are committing treason, counterfeiting, or engaged in piracy, stopping them is a power ceded to the states by the Tenth Amendment.
Everything else is usurpation compounded with corrupt stare decisis.
MAGA world outraged after now-deleted tweet reveals Mitch McConnell’s secret plot to derail Trump’s agenda in the Senate [More]
Ask yourself what about his past actions and collusion would make him side with the freaked out DOJ…
[Via bondmen]
DOJ Apparatchiks Told to Lawyer Up and Flee the Country. Why? [More]
Like I said, dangeous times…
[Via Michael G]
The FBI says it stopped a possible terrorist attack in Houston [More]
In other words, a moron “allegedly created pro-ISIS propaganda” and his own promiscuous social media bloviating is what got him on the radar of feds who egged him on because they desperately need some headline media distractions from their own corruption and election interference complicity…
They must not have had anybody from “the greatest threat” they could set up this time.
Yay, once again saved by “our heroes”!
