“Let’s be clear about what’s happening: Joe Biden is weaponizing his Department of Justice against his own political rival,” said Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the No. 2 House Republican. “This sham indictment is the continuation of the endless political persecution of Donald Trump.”

Mr. Scalise’s comments followed those of Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who vowed to “hold this brazen weaponization of power accountable.”

The Southern Red States seceded from reality – and the U.S. Government before! And, they just did it again. Wake up! We are in the middle of Christian Civil War. The evangelical voting block has taken the party of John Fremont – HOSTAGE – as I predicted. In Oregon, THE CHRISTIAN CONFEDERACY has walked out, and won’t let the elected government – do their job. What is the solution? How about the Democrats declare democracy is over – due to Civil War?

Most elected leaders have not come out and said the Jan 6th. election is wrong, nor the stolen Top Secret documents. The South declared slavery – was not wrong – and they took up arms and fired on Fort Sumpter. We saw a repeat of this historic event by the Speaker of the House!

Church leaders, and rabbis, need to be asked how they would feel if sacred religious objects were stored in a bathroom where traitors evacuated their bowels? Real spies risked their lives to conduct intelligence operations. In my next post, we will hear from foreign governments.

John Brennan stepped down as CIA director the moment Donald Trump was being sworn in as president – noon on Jan. 20, 2017.

The next day, Trump visited CIA headquarters and spoke about the size of his inauguration crowd while standing in front of the agency’s Memorial Wall, featuring a star for each CIA employee killed in the line of duty.

“I couldn’t take it anymore. I felt physically nauseated watching and listening to him,” Brennan writes in his new memoir, Undaunted: My Fight Against America’s Enemies, At Home And Abroad. Brennan left home for the gym to blow off steam, only to see Trump’s remarks repeated on the television screens as he rode a stationary bike.

One day out of office, and while still pedaling at the gym, Brennan texted a former aide with a public statement: “Former Director Brennan is deeply saddened and angered at Donald Trump’s despicable display of self-aggrandizement in front of CIA’s Memorial Wall of agency heroes. He should be ashamed of himself.”

REENSBORO, N.C. – Ron DeSantis argued his campaign case to the North Carolina Republican Party on Friday while making only passing reference to the biggest political elephant in the room: Donald Trump’s second indictment.

While not citing Trump by name, DeSantis again decried the “weaponization” of law enforcement and claimed that different standards are being applied to Republicans and Democrats, including “a former Republican president.”

“I think there needs to be one standard of justice in this country,” DeSantis said. “Let’s enforce that on everybody and make sure we all know the rules.”

DeSantis also may have made an indirect jab at Trump. The former Navy lawyer said he would have been court-martialed “in a New York minute” if he had taken classified information home, a comment he directed at former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton but which could also be applied to Trump.

Otherwise, DeSantis mostly gave his standard campaign speech, pledging to apply his Florida agenda to the nation as a whole on issues like law enforcement, the economy, and so-called “woke ideology.”

Going local, DeSantis congratulated North Carolina Republicans for their political successes. He also pledged to change the name of Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg, arguing that “political correctness” persuaded the military to drop the dedication to Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg.

On the day that the Justice Department unsealed the indictment of Trump over his handling of classified documents, most Republican candidates continued to soft-pedal the case against the ex-president and went after law enforcement instead.
