Trump Unaware of Stormy Payment Details, Rudy Insists
by Kathryn Blackhurst
{ lifezette.com } ~ President Donald Trump “didn’t know the details” about his personal lawyer’s $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels... until “a couple of weeks ago,” former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani clarified Thursday on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends.” Giuliani, now a member of the president’s personal legal team, delivered a bombshell interview Wednesday on Fox News’ “Hannity” on a variety of topics, such as the Trump team’s response to special counsel Robert Mueller’s request for an interview as well as the Daniels payment. Michael Cohen, one of Trump’s personal lawyers, issued the payment to Daniels prior to Election Day 2016. The FBI raided Cohen’s home and offices seeking documents on the Daniels payment, among other issues. Trump told reporters in early April that he knew nothing of the payment to Daniels... https://www.lifezette.com/polizette/trump-unaware-of-stormy-payment-details-rudy-insists/?utm_medium=email VIDEO at the site.

Sessions Waits Until Caravan Illegals
Are Here to Send More Judges to Border
{ rickwells.us } ~ In addition to his declaration that he isn’t going to be involved with the most significant event of his DOJ tenure... his recusal from any action and more importantly for him, all responsibility, in the Rosenstein-Mueller Coup against President Trump, AG Jeff Sessions exposed other reasons why he’s not fit for the job. It deals with his supposed tough guy stance on the illegal invasion. With the count on the caravan squatters admitted to the US increasing to 158 as of Thursday, only roughly 60 remain in Mexico. The government was bluffing, it seems and the squatters called that bluff as empty political bluster. It seems that once again crime pays and that the rule of law only applies to the little guys who are American citizens. All others get a pass. Having had more than a month’s notice that the caravan was coming, Sessions waited until Wednesday to announce that he was sending more US attorneys and federal judges to the border to handle the backlog of cases. He wouldn’t want to act too quickly and actually be able to do something that would have a meaningful impact....

Deputy AG Defiant in Face of Impeachment Threat
by Thomas Gallatin: The relationship between the Justice Department and Congress has become progressively strained. So much so that some Republican House members have drafted and threatened to issue articles of impeachment against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein if he continues to resist Congress’s demand that the department turn over documents related to the initiation of Robert Mueller’s special investigation and the liar-Hillary Clinton email investigation. The DOJ has failed to meet several deadlines for turning over requested documents to Congress, which has generated complaints that the department has been intentionally slow-walking its compliance, if not stonewalling altogether. Chairman of the House Freedom Caucus Mark Meadows (R-NC) explained, “There is really nothing to comment on there, but just give me the documents. … I have one goal in mind, and that is not somebody’s job or the termination of somebody’s job; it is getting the documents and making sure we can do proper oversight.” He added that there are “no current plans to introduce an impeachment resolution.”
Rosenstein reacted in a surprisingly defiant and personalized manner, arguing, “There have been people making threats privately and publicly against me for quite some time. They should know by now the Department of Justice is not going to be extorted, and that any kind of threats that anybody makes are not going to affect the way we do our job.” However, Congress is fully within its constitutionally granted oversight powers to demand that the DOJ turn over requested documents, so long as doing so does not pose significant danger to national security. Meadows pointedly replied, “If he believes being asked to do his job is ‘extortion,’ then he should step aside and allow us to find a new deputy attorney general.”
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) seemed to have a different opinion, asserting that he was “satisfied” with the DOJ’s cooperation. “I appreciate Rosenstein’s willingness to work with the committees,” he said, “and I have confidence in his leadership.”
The question here is why Rosenstein has chosen a course of subtle resistance. It’s clear that what he considers personal attacks have impacted his willingness to comply with congressional demands. It’s also quite apparent that Rosenstein doesn’t trust Congress. He insisted Tuesday that it would be dangerous to “just open our doors to allow Congress to come and rummage through the files.” The trouble is the DOJ has a serious image problem, most of it self-inflicted. It doesn’t help when the man responsible for giving the green light to the Mueller investigation — an investigation that has clearly strayed far from its original justification — appears unwilling to work with Congress to dispel legitimate concerns over politicization of the department. Americans’ trust is not a commodity easily regained once it has been squandered. Rosenstein’s defiance may prove only to push that trust lower. ~The Patriot Post
