Release the Hacken!

To fight back against the improper use of taxpayer dollars and to defund bureaucrats, today, U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) is calling on Inspector General Michael Horowitz to work with the whistleblowers to fully investigate the issue, recover misspent funds, and hold bad actors accountable. [More]

Because nothing says “We’ll get to the bottom of this” like entrusting the investigation to a Breuer/Holder/Obama apparatchik! And look at all those wrong-doers his Gunwalker inquest nailed!

Thank goodness no “real reporters” ever followed up on any of this!

So the question becomes is Ernst actually oblivious to this or is this just a way to pander to her base while knowing full well nothing will change?

Fed Alert

Democrats uniformly supported the FBI in face of evidence of gross and systemic abuse of power, while Republicans uniformly criticized it. This is a clear tell that Democrats consider the FBI to be working for them — a shocking and dangerous situation. [More]

What’s a police state without complicit police?

They proved at Waco there were no orders they wouldn’t follow, and now there’s a whole new generation ready to say “Hold our beer.”

We’re the Only Ones Incentivized Enough

A security camera on his house is part of a network on more than 130 homes and businesses that send alerts to a private-duty police officer hired by the neighborhood. [More]

If I’m reading that right, they don’t do the job while they’re on duty so they can charge a premium while they’re off duty…? That’s what “shows the plan is working”?

We’re the Only Ones Youth-Oriented Enough

A former Baltimore City police officer was indicted on child sex crimes… Larry Tucker, 56, is facing 16 sexual offense counts, including nine felony counts of sex abuse with a minor… In an indictment issued by a Baltimore City Grand Jury, Tucker was also charged with two felony counts of sexual solicitation of a minor, along with felony child pornography, and conspiracy to commit sexual offense charges. [More]

Notice they always make a point of saying “former” when the alleged crimes were committed while the “Only Ones” were “current”?

Call Options, Put Options, and No Options

Buried in the detailed account is a little noticed footnote stating that Clinton General Counsel Marc Elias “declined to be voluntarily interviewed by the Office.” Likewise, Durham noted that “no one at Fusion GPS … would agree to voluntarily speak with the Office” while both the DNC and Clinton campaign invoked privileges to refuse to answer certain questions. [More]

And you know what Congress will do with that?

The same thing the OIG did (didn’t do) when it “exonerated” (that’s what the media called it) Eric Holder in Gunwalker:

Case in point, Chapter One of the report identifies key individuals who declined to be interviewed, significantly including “Criminal Chief [Patrick J.] Cunningham [who] declined through counsel our request for a follow-up interview…We also requested an interview with Kevin O’Reilly, a member of the White House’s National Security Staff[who] declined our request through his personal counsel.”

The Republic won’t be saved with threats of Krakens that can’t get it up.

We’re the Only Ones Truthful Enough

A bill Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw introduced Friday could streamline Border Patrol’s hiring process by eliminating the polygraph requirement for some candidates with law enforcement or military credentials. [More]

Because nothing says “more trustworthy than you” like being an “Only One.”

This Crenshaw character certainly has proved to be a continual disappointment.
