Notes from the Resistance
Top DOJ official says FBI employees who ‘simply followed orders’ on Jan 6 investigations won’t be fired [More]
And here we thought the Nuremberg defense was no excuse.
Of more concern: Where are the agents who refused to obey unlawful orders?
[Via bondmen]

What wasn’t included was where DOJ gets the authority to create a permanent entry to NICS without a conviction or other disqualifier as defined by law. They’re still not saying. [More]
Try stonewalling when they want information and see where that gets you.

Seems what I was asking for was simple enough for an honest agency to comply with…
FBI agents sue Trump DOJ to block any public identification of employees who worked on Jan. 6 investigations [More]
I might be willing to wait until they’re charged.
Padilla and Kash Patel clash on gun ownership in America [Watch]
Did you see a clash?
I saw equivocation over easily answered questions.
No, prior restraints are not consitututional. It says “shall not be infringed.” Yes, every terrible implement of the soldier is the birthright of an American.
But if he answered plainly, he’d never get confirmed?
If so, it’s because Republicans have consistently over the years avoided using their bully pulpits to articulate the reasons for the Second Amendment, so to most people they come across as something that intuitively goes against everything they’ve been “told.”
As long as that’s the case– as long as 2A advocacy is marginalized and relegated to a niche segment outside of the mainstream– treasonous Democrats like Padilla will be able to manipulate with words like “extreme”.
That’s why I’m not letting up on Trump’s unfulfilled campaign rhetoric and what he could do to start turning things around. That’s why I’ll keep calling it out each day that goes by where he ignores us.

Not lost on observers was the hypocrisy of the FBI Director, who arrests citizens on federal gun charges, “gifting” a “Tommy Gun” to an Attorney General who prosecutes them… [More]
Just making sure they dotted all their “i’s” and crossed all their “t’s”… whether it’s real or not.
Despite what the FBI has become today, Joe Biden should never have allowed their murderer, Leonard Peltier, to walk out of a prison’s front gate a free man. [More]
Way to pay ’em back for all the election interference help!
I’m inclined to trust Lee Williams’ judgment because I’ve found him to be the best pure 2A reporter out there. That said, I understand the comments following his article about not trusting a thing the FBI says, and that’s on them. And in reality, it’s not what the FBI has become today– before Ruby Ridge and Waco three decades past, they were a reflection of Hoover from the inception, and we’ve seen how he regarded our rights:
Trump names Brian Driscoll to serve as acting FBI director…Driscoll “most recently served as the commander of the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team (HRT)… [More]
In fairness, it’s after Lon Horiuchi’s time, but I still have a few questions I took some angry heat for a while back that have never been answered.

FBI Director Wray gifts Merrick Garland a federally-banned ‘Tommy Gun’ [More]
Are we sure (H/T Len Savage)?

In any case, it sure is tone deaf.
I’m gonna explore some ideas and may be saying more about this.

If anything happens to Trump, who could be trusted to investigate?

The FBI tracked phone data & narrowed the suspects down to 186 phone numbers… and then down to 1 phone number… And then the FBI suddenly stopped the case. Just, ended it. WHY? Who is that one person that they didn’t want to reveal??? [More]
Why does “Democrats are Going to Jail” to the tune of “Mary Had a Little Lamb” come to mind…?

The School Shootings Were Fake. The Terror Was Real [More]
And the FBI sat on information that could have stopped it.
This is a fascinating read– almost enough to make up for the author’s last one, although I can’t help but note this bit of unfamiliarity/overreaction:
Throughout the evening, he carried a loaded glock [sic] in a holster, a round in the chamber, no safety.
Horrors!
And I hate to keep bringing this up, but the last thing cowardly swatters want is meatspace exposure. And I have a feeling this sadistic little Torswat incel won’t remain a virgin much longer.
If the federal government wants to find you, they’ll likely succeed. But this pipe bomber escaped the authorities like Andy Dufresne at Shawshank. The latest from the FBI: this person is about five-foot-seven inches. That’s it: [More]
Funny, how TV conditions us to think they’re omniscient and infallible with all that magic CSI stuff…
It’s almost like reality is a Salish epiphany.
Either that or they know and ain’t sayin’.
