“Attorney General Loretta Lynch under the Obama administration was sitting on a plane in a tarmac while the Hillary Clinton email investigation was going on, and Bill Clinton was on a plane next door, got off the plane, went on to her plane, said hello, walked off the plane, and it was such a scandal that everyone was calling for her to recuse herself from the whole investigation”

“In the post. And so what she really wanted was a follow up that said great job, not the president deciding not to direct her to prosecute his political enemies.”

“Also notable that the Attorney General of the United States did not seem upset that the president accidentally publicly directed her to prosecute his enemies, but that he didn't seem to think she was doing a great job.”

“The report has officials saying that Trump was, quote, surprised to learn it was public. I bet he was and notes that Bondi grew upset and called White House AIDS and Trump, who then agreed to ascend a second post praising Bondi as doing a great job.”

“It's funny though that you went to the OPSEC thing because my first reaction was there's not a lot that can shock me about Donald Trump, but the fact that he knows how to use the direct message function on his Janky platform.”

“Me too. Although I would. This is what happened. We were just hanging out with the neighbors. All the kids were there. One of my neighbors is Tommy. And I saw the news broke. And I was like, oh my God, I think this was supposed to be a DM. And he's like, no, there's no way that was a DM. You know Trump. He would just say Pam in a truth social post. And I was like, you know what? You're right. That's crazy to think that. So I did give up pretty soon.”

“Wall Street Journal had an amazing report on Wednesday that the famous Truth Social Post that Trump addressed to Pam, which said, you know, delays in charging Comey were killing our reputation and credibility was in fact meant to be a DM.”

“Apparently, Lindsay Halligan in this one brought in a prosecutor from North Carolina to help her with the case because they couldn't find anyone in the eastern district who would do it. I don't know if the jurors will even know about that or the judge will, but it doesn't bode well for their case, I think”

“It always drives me nuts even going into the details of the case because it's so fucking a political prosecution that career attorneys from Republicans and Democrats appointed by Republicans and Democrats over the years all said, no, this is crazy too. And then fucking Lindsey Halligan comes in after Donald Trump said to Pam Bondi, go what's taken so long, go prosecute my enemies, and they did. You don't have to be a fucking genius to figure that out. You don't need a law degree. Tish James is in good company, former FBI director James Comey, who was indicted two weeks ago, was arreigned in federal court in Alexandria on Wednesday morning. He pleaded not guilty and his lawyers indicated that they will seek to have the case thrown out on the grounds that the prosecution is vindictive and selective. It is, of course, both.”

“This one seems even worse when you look into it because it's saying that she allegedly tried to declare somewhere her primary residence that wasn't so she could get a more favorable loan. But she in this case it was like one document that a third party checked a box that said primary residence, but in another email she wrote, this will not be my primary residence very clearly. And on another form, she said this will not be my primary residence. So then you'd have to believe that she tried to lie about this, but then told the truth about it as well. This is fucking insane.”

“One other major front in the war against America's enemies, the political prosecutions of people the president doesn't like. News broke right before we started recording that a grand jury in the eastern district of Virginia has indicted New York Attorney General Tish James for one count of bank fraud and one count related to false statements. All right, so this was related to another alleged mortgage fraud case, Dan that the mortgage fraud czar Bill Poulte has been pushing for quite some time. And once again, there was reporting leading up to this that all the attorneys, all the prosecutors who work in the eastern district of Virginia didn't really see a case here, didn't think there was evidence for a case, didn't think there was evidence that you broke any laws, and so when Lindsay Halligan, Donald Trump's random staffer, who had never prosecuted a case before, was installed, and then she”

“I thought I loved Pope Francis as my favorite pope, I think, because Jesuit, a big Jesuit guy. But our American pope from Chicago, who is now, and I guess he's pushing the bishops to make like a really clear moral statement on this, on what's happening in the United States around immigration, because he wants unity. And so he wants all the bishops on the same page, which I think is a good move. But he has apparently, you know, he had some advocates and activists, immigration activists visit him, I believe, from Texas, and was quite moved by some of these stories and emotionally moved. And I think that it's good to see that the Pope is getting involved in this. It's crazy that the Pope has to get involved in this, but it's good to see it. All right, so Austin just sent us this story from Axios, President Trump is temporarily barred from sending the National Guard to Illinois to aid his immigrants.”

“Agents, but now they can go carry out law enforcement actions, which they are not trained to do, now you've got a really explosive situation.”

“You deploy troops in that situation where ICE is terrorizing neighborhoods, detaining, arresting people who are citizens, legal residents, or undocumented immigrants who are not dangerous by any measure, but using riot gear and flashbang grenades and pepper ball spray and they're shooting pepper balls at journalists. And when you do that, then, and Pritzker talks with me about this, then of course residents and neighbors are going to get mad and they're going to start shouting at ice. And now you deploy troops into that situation. And now you've also got Trump flirting with invoking the insurrection act. And I talk about that with Pritzker as well, which would suddenly give the troops on the ground law enforcement power so they're not just defending buildings or defending ISIS.”

“It gets a little more serious in the deployment gets bigger and the facts on the ground are much more intense, right? And so I think Chicago, of all the cities so far, like the way that ice has been operating in Chicago is completely out of fucking control. And we have all seen the videos and you've heard us talk about it here. You've seen it all on our socials and we've been reposting them and all that. They shot a pastor in the head with a pepper ball who was merely praying and actually asking the ice agents to join him in prayer, doing nothing. And they shot him in the head with a pepper ball. And they just dragged a woman out of her car yesterday who was, she's a legal resident who was picking up her child at elementary school, dragged her out of the car. And this is happening. There's just a million stories like this right now.”

“Yeah. And I think it's also important to point out, having gone through this here in LA, it can seem like it's not a big deal at first. We didn't notice really the National Guard deployed here in Los Angeles because they were defending two federal buildings defending from no one. And, you know, they were out with ice on some raids, I guess. But you wouldn't have seen them, really. And same in DC, people in DC will tell you this too. And they were like taking pictures with tourists and they didn't have anything to do. And so they were cleaning up trash. And so I think there is this sense that, okay, the guards here, it's crazy that Trump's doing this. There's no reason for him to do this. He's clearly doing this because he is power hungry and wants to, you know, prove a point or whatever, but is it really causing much harm? But with each deployment,”

“Which, of course, it is. She also said that DHS would be purchasing more property in Portland to operate out of and sending more federal agents. She plans to do the same in Chicago, where a federal judge on Thursday heard arguments from lawyers from the city and state about blocking the guard deployments there just a day after Trump posted a demand that J.B. Pritzker, who you'll hear from in a minute, and Mayor Brandon Johnson should both be jailed, quote, for failing to protect ICE officers. The judge didn't seem overly warm to the Justice Department's arguments, but as of this recording, she hadn't issued a ruling. Guys, just give us a thumbs up or something if you hear it. What's your take on what's happening in these cities and who do you think's making the better argument?”

“I encourage you all to go look for that footage because there's Christy Noam in her January 6th insurrectionist and a bunch of other goobers up on a fucking roof and they're looking down at a guy in a chicken suit and that's America 2025. That's the Civil War that's going on right now. During Thursday's cabinet meeting, Noam told Trump that she met with when she was in Oregon, the governor, the mayor of Portland, the chief of police in Portland, the head of the highway patrol.”

“Portland on Tuesday, where she was accompanied by an entourage that included a pardoned January 6th insurrectionist. Did you know that, Dan? Had a jacket on that said staff on the back. That's who she took with her to Portland to, I guess, monitor Antifa, which they did from a roof. They stood on the roof of an ice facility to watch the Antifa mob from a safe distance. The Antifa mob being a tiny crowd of protesters that included a guy in a chicken suit.”

“Of course, our cities are now the front lines in the battle against Antifa. The deployment of Oregon and Texas National Guard troops to Portland is still on hold for the moment, but that may not last long. A panel of judges from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, two of the three of whom are Trump appointees, seem to think the district judge had overstepped. If you remember the Ninth Circuit was also the appeals court that heard Newsom and California's challenge to the deployment of troops here in LA and they basically said that the case hasn't been fully decided yet, but they let the deployment continue because the judges decided in the Ninth Circuit it is likely that the government, the federal government would win the case because it was under, it was within President Trump's statutory authority to do so to deploy those troops. So Christy Noam visited Portugal.”

“Speaking of Chris Murphy, I had forgotten about this because it was a headline from, I don't know, a couple weeks ago, which might as well have been a couple years ago, that he's donating $100,000 from his political fund to progressive organizing group Indivisible. And I do think elected Democrats coming out and standing with some of these groups that could be potential targets publicly is probably important as well.”

“I mean, it's really like, what if anything Democratic leaders have been sort of quiet on the Antifa stuff? You know, there was initially when they put out the EOs, when they first announced the EOs, I think they were the typical round of statements and the same people who are always speaking out or speaking out. Is there anything anyone can do about this? Like it does seem like you don't, what you don't want is to get into the situation where So yeah, they don't go arrest everyone at Act Blue and Divisible and all these groups, open society. But suddenly they open an investigation or there's FBI surveillance of these groups or suddenly someone gets a subpoena and it's more drip drip drip than it is a big event that can focus everyone's attention. And I don't know. I just worry about that part of it.”

“There's no law on the book that suggests that. Yeah, which they can't do that. It's not going to work because it's constitutionally protected. And their legal argument, which is, I would say, flimsy, but it's more than flimsy. It's fucking absurd, is that Trump tried to make it, I wouldn't say eloquently, is that burning the flag causes the people around the flag burner to become agitated and violent.”

“Clear that in addition to being a very menacing story and like a pretty scary story, there's also the classic bumbling incompetence that's going on in the government you get this because Trump's twin directives on domestic political violence have caused confusion. Lawyers for the Department of Homeland Security are scrambling to figure out how to implement them legally according to two DHS officials not authorized to speak publicly. Trump also at that event with Antifa, and mentioned this in the Roter story, Trump requested participants to name groups and funders they claim carry out violence effectively crowdsourcing potential targets in real time. He then vowed to pursue this. Anyone got any Antifa? Any Antifa out there that's pissing you off? Pam, go get him.”

“We. We work with Indivisible. We've worked with Indivisible for years. They're good friends and partners. It is laughable to think that Indivisible, which has also just grassroots chapters all across the country that get together to help register voters and go to town hall meetings and get people organized is like has anything to do with any kind of even close to violent activity.”

“In Jewish Voice for Peace, and I'll quote from the article here, potential tools to defund or shut down these groups include IRS investigations to strip them of tax exempt status, criminal probes by the Justice Department and FBI, surveillance by federal law enforcement agencies, the use of RICO statutes, typically used for organized crime and financial investigations under anti-terror laws to identify donors and funders. The person directing all of it, according to the officials, is our friend Stephen Miller, who now regularly uses the term domestic extremists to describe American citizens who didn't vote for Donald Trump.”

“I don't know if I wanted more intellectually serious people to take down the country. It's not like I'm asking for that, but it is rather ironic and stupid. I don't know. Is it ironic? I don't even know if that's the right word. Anyway, it seems like this is more than just a threat. Reuters dropped a big investigative report on Thursday that has AIDS from the White House, Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security talking on background about a specific plan to go after left-leaning groups. They had a list of nine groups that they shared with Reuters, potential targets include George Soros and his Open Society Foundation. As we've mentioned before, also Act Blue, Indivisible.”

“Table on Antifa. What a phrase a roundtable on Antifa that featured Pam Bondi, Christinome, Cashpatel, and a slew of right-wing influencers who allegedly cover Antifa because they're journalists, which again Antifa, not an actual organization. Nonetheless, the participants told stories about being assaulted by black-clad mobs, which then gave Trump in the cabinet an opportunity to push their favorite new conspiracy that actually Antifa has its tentacles everywhere and that the government will not rest until its imaginary network of funders and supporters is destroyed.
