It’s Go Time!

The leftists are sweating bullets. They’re NOT happy about Pam Bondi.

She has just been confirmed as the new Attorney General on a Senate vote of 54 to 46, and will now lead the U.S. Department of Justice. Here’s more from Matt Morse TV.

Meanwhile, the full U.S. Senate will vote, likely next week, on Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination as Director of National Intelligence after the Senate Intelligence Committee approved her nomination by a vote of 9 to 8. Among those voting against her was Sen. Ron Wyden. the Oregon Democrat who has championed Internet rights against censorship.

But Wyden is nothing but a shameless hypocrite and a coward. Gabbard has made it clear she also stands for Internet rights, but Wyden opposed her.

Why? The Democratic party is full of corrupt crooks like Nancy Pelosi who have made millions upon millions of dollars off stock deals involving trade secrets known to those in political power in Washington DC. Wyden doesn’t want their chicanery and machinations exposed. Here’s more from Glenn Greenwald.

FBI Spied On U.S. Senator

ACLJ’s Jay Sekulow says reports are surfacing that the Deep State FBI illegally spied on a sitting U.S. senator. He says when this video aired, the identity of the senator, who was the subject of this illegal surveillance, had not been released.

“All we know so far is that they have been notified,” Sekulow says. “We don’t know if it’s a man, woman, Republican, or even Democrat. But it doesn’t matter. Wrong is wrong. This is completely unacceptable and illegal, regardless of which side of the aisle the senator resides.” Here are more details from ACLJ.

NSA, Justice Department Sued

“If there’s one thing that [the National Security Agency (NSA)] values, it’s secrecy,” says Electronic Frontier Foundation staff attorney Mark Rumold. “They’ve been allowed to operate in ways that aren’t always consistent with the public’s understanding of the laws and the Constitution or even other parts of the executive branch’s interpretation of the laws.”

The Electronic Frontier Foundation has filed a lawsuit over a ruling by the secretive Federal Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC). That ruling found parts of a classified Department of Justice (DOJ) surveillance program to be in violation of  the Fourth Amendment. The court’s decision only became public after a letter from the NSA to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) mentioned it.
