FOX: "It appears that Alex Peretti was disarmed. If he was disarmed, is it the protocol to use deadly force?"
Noem: "This happened in seconds. They clearly feared for their lives and took action to defend themselves."

To all those listening or watching the Jack Smith testimony, remind yourself that at no time has any Republican offered a single piece of evidence that contradicts any of Jack Smith’s conclusions about Trump‘s criminal activity regarding the 2020 election.

Whatever is in the Epstein Files is so explosive that the leaders of the Department of Justice are openly breaking the law every day to keep us from seeing it. (Just a reminder amongst all the other stuff flying around.)

Absolutely no way to read this and not conclude that the Department of Justice has been deeply corrupted. And this is from a time when career lawyers were in place, pushing back against illegality. With firings and resignations, the politicization will just get worse.
