Jack Smith is exactly right about hiring for loyalty. You risk putting INCOMPETENT people in jobs they can’t handle. Kegsbreath, Bondi, McMahon, & Ka$h Patel, to name a few.

JACK SMITH: “Trump was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on, and still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol — that’s very important evidence for criminal intent in our case.”

This latest reporting shows Bondi, Blanche, and others at the DOJ have been lying to the American people about the Epstein files since day one.
The less than 40,000 pages that have been released represent less than 0.01% of all the total documents.
They are hiding something.

If you're a Democrat, you're a sucker if you imagine this agency has anything to do with immigration. It is--and aspires to be!--a fascist paramilitary goon squad. You should start saying so and lay the groundwork for starving it of funding when you take power

The Kennedy Center adopted bylaws earlier this year that limited voting to presidentially appointed trustees — not those designated by Congress — a move that preceded the dubious vote to add Trump's name to the center.
Legal experts say the move may conflict with the institution's charter.
