Merrick Garland, Joe Biden's wingman

When Charles Manson was tried for murder, he took the stand. The prosecutor asked him if he gave one of his "family" an order to murder someone. Manson didn't flinch in saying "I didn't have to." Implicit in his testimony was that the people in his family knew what he expected of them.

Merrick Garland doesn't need orders from Joe Biden. He knows what Biden expects of him. Biden expects Garland to be Biden's wingman like Eric Holder was Barack Obama's wingman. Further, Biden expects Garland to keep Biden's son out of prison, no easy task considering Hunter's history.

Garland isn't that talented at carrying out Biden's orders. Obviously, Biden has it in for Donald Trump. In his raid of Mar-a-Lago, as Dan Henninger notes in this column, Henninger wrote "Mr. Garland issued a brief, no-questions-allowed statement about the Mar-a-Lago intervention asserting that 'where possible' it is the Justice Department’s practice to 'narrowly scope' any search. This week the department returned to Mr. Trump three passports swept up by the FBI in an obviously unlimited raid."

Late this week, President Trump hinted that he's "considering filing a court motion which calls for the appointment of a 'special master' to review and return evidence collected during last week's FBI search of his Mar-a-Lago estate."This isn't good news for Garland's DOJ:

Trusty told Levin the filing will claim the FBI's seizure was "overbroad," violating the law's requirement that there be "narrowness" in a search.

Trusty said Trump's legal team will argue a special master is necessary to review the seizure to guard against the possibility that material covered by executive privilege or attorney-client privilege has been seized.

"We have privilege issues that are extremely important here," Trusty told Levin. "We do think that one of the benefits of the special master, if the master agrees, is we can stop DOJ in their tracks when it comes to inspecting these documents."

Here's Jim Trusty's interview with Mark Levin:

Here's the text of the 4th Amendment:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
I'm being a little sarcastic with this but this is essentially what the warrant permits:
  • Where to search: Anywhere at Mar-a-Lago
  • What can be seized? Anything you see.
  • Probable Cause: Donald Trump. Isn't he always guilty of something?
Merrick Garland bit off more than he could chew. That's why he should be impeached.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
