Justice Department giving states $231 million for “red flag” laws, gun violence prevention [More]
Due process? We ain’t got no due process. We don’t need no due process.
I don’t have to show you any stinking due process!

Hey, it’s a lot safer than going after violent criminals and dangerous subversives…

This is It?
Sarah Beth Clendaniel, 34, has been charged with conspiring with a neo-Nazi leader in Florida, Brandon Clint Russell, 27, who authorities say encouraged attacks that would cause a “cascading failure” of the energy grid. [More]
These two low-hanging fruit losers are the best examples of the “right-wing extremist”greatest threat Chris Wray and Merrick Garland tell us are the bane of the Republic…?

What, No Raid?
DOJ reviewing potentially classified docs at Biden center [More]
Who thinks anything of substance will be done about it?
Maybe if we knew what the documents pertained to…? You know, the more damaging and damning, the more deliberate and vigorous the DOJ effort to bury, stonewall, and shield the Big Guy…

Stop Me If You’ve Heard This One Before
He said lawyers for the federal government admitted in court to having at least 400 pages of “potentially responsive” documents but are now saying they can “neither confirm nor deny” whether the records exist. [More]

Sutherland Springs shooting survivors say DOJ appeal damages gun safety laws [More]
$230M or political posturing… tough choice.
Remember what it took to get relevant records released?
Funny, how it’s just those who survived on luck — and not on getting a gun and stopping the maniac — that are most upset.

Up in Smoke
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.

A Subject Matter Expert
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.

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:

Two Sets of Standards
‘It’s the Only Way to be Sure’
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.
