Notes from the Resistance
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?

The report, coming almost four years to the day since Durham’s assignment began, will probably be derided by Democrats as the end of a partisan boondoggle. Republicans will have to wrestle with a much-touted investigation that has cost taxpayers more than $6.5 million and didn’t send a single person to jail, even though Trump once predicted that Durham would uncover the “crime of the century.” [More]
Just because this is another flaccid Kraken doesn’t mean Trump was wrong.
It just means the possibilities for peaceful revolution keep getting sabotaged by those who believe they are in power.
Some family members showed up Wednesday night hoping for answers to their questions, including the most pressing one — with 376 law enforcement officers at the school May 24, why did it take them more than 70 minutes to confront and kill the gunman? [More]

Federal prosecutors have considered four possible charges against Hunter Biden – Possible charges are two misdemeanor counts for failure to file taxes, a single felony count of tax evasion and a felony count related to a gun purchase. [More]
If they do choose the latter — and I doubt they will — find one report that specifically called out lying on a 4473 that came out before this one. Being “just a blogger” and not a #realreporter, I don’t want to claim anything that turns out not to be true.

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is asking the Supreme Court to overturn an appeals court ruling that struck down a federal law preventing people under domestic violence-related restraining orders from having guns. [More]
