FINALLY the DOJ is investigating Walz & Frey for obstructing federal Law enforcement. It’s pretty clear to this non-lawyer that they have done that. Tampon Tim can claim weaponized prosecution to his hearts content, what does he think? Janet Reno would’ve done? Or even Meritless Garland.

Cool! Also looking forward to an investigation of that law enforcement agent who shot a middle aged woman three times and called her a "f***ing bitch" after she was dead.

That investigation is going to happen, right? It's the sort of thing that should probably be investigated, right?

[Dr. Ed 2]

It’s a middle-aged woman WHO WAS ATTACKING HIM WITH A 4500 POUND GUIDED KINETIC PROJECTILE and not some random woman standing on a street corner and minding her own business.

But it is being investigated, as it should be, as any officer involved shooting should be. Remember that vehicle has an EDR, it’s not what people think the vehicle was doing, there’san actual computer record of it.

As to the officer’s obscenities, there’s other side to that. Officers don’t want to have to shoot someone and a very natural human reaction is for an officer to be mad at someone for forcing the officer to have to shoot the person.

Or, you know, just be mad at someone clipping them with a car.

WHO WAS ATTACKING HIM WITH A 4500 POUND GUIDED KINETIC PROJECTILE

You know this never happened. I know this never happened. Ross knows it never happened. Good would know it never happened if she were alive.

Officers don’t want to have to shoot someone

Only sociopaths would join ICE — or at least remain at ICE after Trump took office — so yes, he wanted to shoot her.

[bloocow2]

Hey, if she really did want to run him over, I'm sure an investigation will clear that right up.

That investigation that's totally, definitely going to happen. I'm sure we can trust your federal government to be fair and impartial about it! It's not as if their leaders called her a terrorist within an hour of the shooting or anything.

[wvattorney13]

Sounds like JFK conspiracy people. Do a complete investigation but it doesn't count if the government does it.

"I know this never happened"

How do you know this never happened? Were you there?

AussieTrash....Remind us: How are the Bondi Beach, and Melbourne arson investigations coming along?

ICE operations to detain and deport illegal aliens will not stop.

It is a decidedly BAD decision to impede, obstruct or threaten an LEO performing their job duties. Renee Gold found that out. Hopefully that will not be repeated.

[Dr. Ed 2]

No, she ATTACKED an officer. Attacked him with a deadly weapon.

[Drewski]

"ICE operations to detain and deport illegal aliens will not stop."

Is this your latest version of "Kilmar will never be in the US again," to be repeated seventy-five times a day? Do you get paid for each, or is it straight word count?

[Frank Drackman]

You're right, US Capitol Police Lt Michael Byrd should be prosecuted.

[Kazinski]

At least Jack Smith is smiling.

Immigration enforcement is an "important government function".

The head of the Israeli Mossad was in Florida yesterday to meet with Team Trump. With the extent of secure video conferencing today, the really isn’t the need to meet in person that there once was — and most of what the Mossad does his in secret.

So why was this meeting announced?

Home with a trying to send a signal to?

The Iranians come to immediate mind, but I’m wondering if it’s more than just them. And I’m wondering, who else may have been there. And remember that in both the Muslim and Jewish cultures, Friday is our Saturday.

Pretty sure Friday is to Muslims what Sunday is to Christians and what Saturday is to Jews.

In 2021, a convicted fraudster named Adriana Camberos was freed from prison when President Trump commuted her sentence.

Rather than taking advantage of that second chance, prosecutors said, Ms. Camberos returned to crime. She and her brother were convicted in 2024 in an unrelated fraud.

This week, Mr. Trump pardoned both siblings, marking the second time Mr. Trump had opened the prison gates for Ms. Camberos.

Among the other lucky recipients: a man whose daughter had given millions to a Trump-backed super PAC, a former governor of Puerto Rico and a former F.B.I. agent — all of whom had pleaded guilty in a political corruption case.

[Kazinski]

What was her crime?

"SAN DIEGO – Adriana Camberos (formerly Adriana Shayota) and Andres Camberos, sister and brother, were convicted by a federal jury of multiple fraud charges on October 25, 2024.

Their illegal scheme involved lying to manufacturers to sell wholesale groceries and other goods at steep discounts by promising the goods would be sold in Mexico, or to prisons or rehabilitation facilities. Instead, the defendants sold the products at higher prices to U.S. distributors, for the U.S. market. Wire fraud charges arose from the numerous wire transfers, as well as other interstate communications, the defendants made as they bought products from the manufacturers, transferred money among their own companies to facilitate the scheme, and then re-sold the products at higher prices to U.S. customers."

Just who was cheated in that scheme? Maybe someone should have gone to jail, but I am not sure it was Adriana Camberos.

Honestly it seems like the DOJ was acting as an enforcer for price gougers. It they felt cheated by someone buying something at a negotiated price they should have sued.

Now Trump is telling countries that do not support his Greenland conquest scheme that they will be penalized with tariffs. He is deteriorating quickly. First the political sycophants will abandon ship. The last to go, but they will go, will be the MAGA zombies.
