A De Facto Admission
DOJ seeks prison time for woman who stole Ashley Biden’s diary [More]
So showers with the Big Guy were real and the only character the “real reporters” at The Hill can question is the woman who exposed them?
Far be it they express outrage over official intimidation of journalists.

UPDATE
I hope they like my rhyme.
It’s All in the Optics
Garland’s comments come in an election year when violent crime is a major campaign issue, and one that Biden’s opponent, former President Donald Trump has attacked him on. [More]
By their motivation ye shall know them.
And guess what they deliberately don’t mention when they assure us violent crime is down.

DOJ Reconsiders Denial of Documents in Hunter Biden-Related NICS Permanent Entry Consent Suit
Does the DOJ have the power to create new classes of “prohibited persons” outside of what is statutorily defined? [More]
First they said they had no pages. Now they say they have 350. So what’s on those pages, and will any establish they are authorized to redefine”prohibited person” disqualifiers?

FOIA Seeks Information from DOJ on National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center
Who the DOJ is partnering with and how their activities are lawful in light of the Supreme Court’s latest ruling on the Second Amendment are of particular interest. [More]
I don’t think anyone’s ever asked them to provide documents showing how they figure their actions are consistent with Bruen before.
Busting Morons for Headlines
A Cleveland man who made thousands of dollars by buying and selling guns used in shootings and homicides said little on Tuesday as a federal judge sentenced him to more than 11 years in prison. Kenneth Smith, 23, apologized for selling 32 guns to undercover federal agents in less than three weeks, netting $24,000. The guns had been used in 30 shootings, including several homicides. [More]
The rest of the story is paywalled and the only other thing I could find is he did all this while being a “prohibited person” himself:
KENNETH SMITH, 23, East Cleveland, was charged with Engaging in the Business of Dealing Firearms without a Federal Firearms License, Illegal Possession of a Machinegun, and being a Felon in Possession of Firearms.
It does raise the question why they needed to drag it out over 32 guns and three weeks when one sale could have done the trick, and for some reason a South Park bust comes to mind (NSFW).

That’s What You Get for Being Deplorable
Federal government created ‘profiles’ on Americans kept in a ‘secret portal’ shared with 650 companies to track ‘extremists’ who searched ‘MAGA,’ ‘guns,’ and ‘Biden’ say Republicans [More]
It’s all part of a multi-pronged plan.

Also backing up Merrick Garland’s/Chris Wray’s “Greatest Threat” malicious libel is Rob “My Precious Goo!” Reiner’s latest Leni Riefenstahl Award contender branding “Christian Nationalists” candidates for what is done with undesirables…
“Live and let live” will soon be used as an admission of guilt.

Whistleblower Answers Questions About ATF/DOJ Fast and Furious Malfeasance
Mike and I were not only ready to go with it (albeit unwilling to burn a source and post under a requested embargo), but after the mainstream press has been on it for days now, there was only one place hosting the letter (other stories only talked about it) from the attorney for the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association to Sen. Chuck Grassley and Rep. Darrell Issa detailing not just the setup for the grenade operation, but also, and importantly, about the retaliation his ATF agent-client was subjected to by DOJ management for testifying at a House Oversight Committee hearing. [More]
A name from earlier investigations of years past once more brings ATF’s criminal “gunwalker” plot to the front burner with a new book and an exclusive interview.
We’re the Only Ones Power Drunk Enough
For nearly a year, the Commerce Police Department charged innocent people with driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol who insisted all along there was no evidence to make an arrest. One of them passed breathalyzer tests 10 times either in the field or at the jail, yet he was still charged with drunk driving. [More]

ATF official: Federal prosecutors turning a blind eye to straw purchasers, again – Events reminiscent of ATF’s “Operation Fast & Furious” scandal. [More]
Hey, if you want to blood dance, you first need blood.
Which invites two questions, one about the open border and the other about the imposition of prior restraints because people who have proven they can’t be trusted with a gun aren’t kept away from the rest of us.
I’ve established a dialog with Mr. Forcelli, have read his book, and will be releasing an interview and a review over the next few weeks.

Released Biden Search Warrants Still Leave Major Questions Unanswered
The Audacity in Gaslighting Award
ATF/FBI ‘Lovers Spat’ Catch-22 on NFA Appeals Resolved
It should be a straightforward enough process and you’d think the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Department of Justice would be on the same page, instead of pointing fingers, abdicating responsibilities, and just plain getting things wrong, especially considering how they increasingly hold Federal Firearms Licensees to “zero tolerance standards” over paperwork glitches. [More]
It took fear of getting spanked by the court, but they finally, grudgingly agreed to an appeals process.
Pot Shots
The Second Amendment Foundation and a District Attorney in Pennsylvania have filed a federal lawsuit against Attorney General Merrick Garland, the heads of the FBI and ATF, and the U.S. Government, challenging the federal prohibition on gun ownership by medical marijuana users. [More]

Hey, you never know when Merrick and Chris might neeed to ID some extremists.
Funny, they were quiet when they came for MAGA supporters and for gun owners…
Starting to feel like useful idiots yet, “faith community“…?
Probably not, because that would require them not being idiots.

Two Nations
AG GARLAND ON UVALDE SHOOTING: “Our children deserve better than to grow up in a country where an 18-year-old has easy access to a weapon that belongs on the battlefield, not in a classroom.” [More]
First off, they’re not “our children,” collectivist. They’re “my children” and “your children.” And we saw what depending on the “Only Ones” resulted in.
Remember what Vanderboegh asked about two nations divided by the answer to this fundamental question:
Does the government serve the people or do the people serve the government?
Hey, remember when Vichycon Leon H. Wolf, now managing editor of The Blaze, said Trump stood no chance in 2016 and advised Republicans to confirm Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court?

If this wasn’t evidence of a criminal conspiracy at the highest levels it would be the Department of Justice using all the resources at its disposal to uncover the truth instead of Steve Bannon.
Funny, how quiet the DSM is about this…
Here’s a question I don’t know the answer to, and a cursory search shows it’ll be quicker if I just ask somebody who knows:
Is there a records retention law binding on congressional committees with criminal penalties for disregarding?
