Justice Department - The War on Guns

A federal judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit from Florida’s agriculture commissioner that challenged a ban on medical marijuana patients’ rights to buy and possess firearms. [More]

So when are they going to arrest her?

And no, of course, I don’t agree with the ban. I just can’t help but notice she’d be happy to arrest us for “violating” citizen disarmament laws she agrees with.

I wonder if the “conservative” High Court’s Bruen decision with its “historical understanding” benchmark will end up saving her.

A Certain Appeal

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Defendants Merrick Garland, in his official capacity as Attorney General of the United States; Steven Dettelbach, in his official capacity as Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF); the United States Department of Justice; and ATF hereby appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit from the Court’s Opinion & Order on Scope of Preliminary Injunction entered on October 1, 2022… [More]

Of course they’re not giving up on unconstitutionally claiming authority to impose frame or receiver infringements. They enjoy unlimited resources.

FPC has the entire case with filings and orders indexed for us.

A Subject Matter Expert

A Justice Department official who pushed the Jussie Smollett hoax will hold a forum next month on how to identify hate crimes. [More]

You’d be surprised how much behind-the-scenes planning and coordination needs to go on beyond just screaming out hysterical accusations.

Bull Durham

“Durham should be ashamed. Whatever his reputation as a thorough prosecutor was is now gone” [More]

So my first instincts were right?

And assuming there’s a silver lining is wishful thinking?

[Via Michael G]

So Now What?

In addition to exposing the conscious malfeasance of the FBI brass, Durham also established the organizational structure of the whole Russia investigation from the FBI’s Operation Crossfire Hurricane through to the Mueller Inquiry. This information should prove useful in any future investigation when the real culprits are indicted on RICO charges. [More]

I guess the question on my mind is “Will they be?”

Time and again we see cover-up upon cover-up that ought to bring a government down but instead gets buried, dismissed, forgotten, ridiculed, …

Change my mind.

If you want to know who the biggest threat is, just ask the DOJ and the FBI.

Or better yet, ask the Bloombergians.

Tyrants Haunted by Ghosts

The Department of Justice’s Statement of Interest informs the Court that the United States has serious concerns about the proliferation of untraceable firearms easily assembled from firearm parts kits and unfinished frames and receivers. [More]

Well, yeah. If we don’t know about them, how are we expected to confiscate them?

[H]ere are the names of the 47 people charged in this criminal scheme…[More]

Rigorous!

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority…

Bull Durham

Raise your hands, anyone who thought special counsel John Durham’s probe into the outrageous treatment of President Trump by the Obama FBI, DOJ, CIA, and State Department was ever going to amount to anything. [More]

Not me.

But PJ Media and The Washington Times took a “HUGE” credibility hit in my book.

We’re the Only Ones Misleading Enough

FBI misled judge who signed warrant for Beverly Hills seizure of $86 million in cash [More]

You know, SOP. And it looks like their promise that it won’t happen again was also a lie.

Who’s holding their breath for Wray’s and Garland’s frog march?

A Snitch in Time

The US government finally admitted in this letter that they were running Confidential Human Sources inside the Oath Keepers organization on January 6. The government also notified the attorneys that they are issuing a protective order for the operatives they ran inside the organization on January 6. The feds sandbagged the defense for nearly two years, and then sprang the existence of these Confidential Human Sources at the llth hour! [More]

Shades of the Hutaree and Whitmer embeds… and how they were coerced would be a story worth hearing. And along these lines…

As I replied to my “small cadre” colleagues about all the hoop-de-doo out to get Trump at all costs:

There’s plenty I don’t like about Trump too, but they’ve been trying to destroy him on false charges since Day One. Meanwhile, the Hillary-funded Russian collusion conspiracy abetted by embedded FBI apparatchiks was nothing if not an attempted insurrection/seditious conspiracy.

All I hear are inflammatory ALLEGATIONS by demonstrable partisans with ultimate admissions that they don’t have EVIDENCE.

Responding “Pence deserves to be hanged” in private as his first, off-the-cuff reaction to an aide is a far cry from publicly urging a mob to actually hang him. Now think of all the things Biden and prominent Dems say that could inspire unhinged Dems to commit violence against MAGA supporters.

All this “progressive” media noisemaking with no actual substance reminds me of an old commercial:

We’re the Only Ones Totalitarian Enough

…25 to 30 fully-armored FBI agents stormed their property early Friday morning, aiming their rifles as the children screamed in horror. [More]

I guess it’s not fair to judge them until you’ve goose-stepped a mile in their jackboots.

Funny, how the ones who strive to keep their oaths are the ones portrayed as the domestic terror threat.

Hey, looks like a hit!

‘It’s the Only Way to be Sure’

But merely annihilating the FBI as an entity and arresting its most corrupt members is the kind of suburban soccer mom-friendly public policy proposal I can get behind. [More]

Who Will Prosecute the Prosecutors?

One finds a federal lawyer trying to use his position to avoid a drunk driving charge; another finds a government attorney getting drunk and physically belligerent at a meeting with foreign officials; the third, and most disturbing, finds an assistant U.S. attorney exposing his genitals “in a public place,” and sexually assaulting a “civilian” on a date. Who were these federal prosecutors? The summary reports don’t say. [More]

Based on expectations set by their “leadership,” that whole department sounds like a case study for sadists and moral defectives.

An Open Secret

As a citizen cries foul when the state peeks at attorney communications, the Justice Department increasingly argues that affording certain people rights harms the secret objectives of the secret state. [More]

We could tell you but then we’d have to kill you.
