(National Journal) […]  When asked by CNN’s Candy Crowley for if U.S.-Russia relations were now “at Cold War levels,” Feinstein did not hesitate. “Yes,” the California Democrat replied.

“The issue is, where is Putin? I would say, Putin, you have to man up,” Feinstein said. “You should say if this was a mistake, which I hope it was, own up. even if it was, it was a horrendous mistake. … and it points out the futility of what is going on in Ukraine.” (more…)

The DOJ has no vested interest in investigating the missing emails.   Our research indicates the missing emails more than likely incriminate the DOJ through the use of the assembled [Schedule B] “BOLO List”.

WASHINGTON – House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., and Regulatory Affairs Subcommittee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, today pressed the Federal Election Commission (FEC) on yet another hard drive crash of an employee who disparaged Republicans and campaigned for President Obama in violation of the Hatch Act, which states that federal employees should not conduct political activities during work hours.

The ridiculous claims by Attorney General Eric Holder are belied by a wide range of diverse aspects;  I’m going to point out two.
First, as Holder admits he plays the race-card directed toward “some people”, not all people.   However, the stupidity of this deflection is inherent when you think of the result as compared to the approach.
Stating he can direct the playing of the race-card, toward specific personages is counter intuitive to the reality that the policy he shields behind it cannot be similarly divided.

You cannot defend legal policy, or the application therein, by saying “fill-in-the-blank people” won’t like this, ergo my policy is subject to attack by racist recipients, without yourself being racist as you consider its construction.
Either the policy stands scrutiny regardless of contingent or coalition or it does not.
If you assemble the legal policy based on the color of the skin carried by the recipient of the policy, then the policy itself is racist.

WASHINGTON DC – A federal judge on Thursday ordered the IRS to detail under oath how some of former agency official Lois Lerner’s emails went missing, as well as any potential methods for recovering them.

Judge Emmet Sullivan of the U.S. District Court in Washington gave the Internal Revenue Service exactly a month — until Aug. 10 — to file a report, which he demanded as part of a lawsuit from a conservative watchdog, Judicial Watch, against the agency.
Judicial Watch is seeking a wide range of documents from the IRS, including Lerner’s emails, as part of a Freedom of Information Act request. It has complained that the IRS didn’t tell it that the agency couldn’t recover all of Lerner’s emails from 2009 to 2011.
Sullivan cast his ruling as a compromise, and a potential way for Judicial Watch to get answers without the court wading any deeper into the matter. Judicial Watch had asked the court to potentially compel IRS officials to testify about the lost emails, through a process called limited discovery. (more…)

Important factoid as you watch – “Illinois” Senator Dick Durbin blocked the use a Chicago facility to house some of the disease infested illegals.

I could spend all day deconstructing these insufferable dolts.
You’ll note he said “Bush signed law in 2008” ? I’m assuming you heard that.
That would be the “William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008“, or more specifically signed by Bush December 23rd of 2008.
Hmmm… wait a minute….  December 2008?  By chance, what do you think happened in November of 2008 ?
(Hint: Election)
HR7311 – William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 – Wait, that makes this a lame duck signing right before leaving office….. and who was in control of both Houses of Congress – who would have constructed such a bill ?
Hmmmm… perhaps, maybe, per chance… Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid in the Senate with… wait for it,… a filibuster proof super-majority.
And when was the bill HR7311 voted and passed by the Democrats in congress…. wait for it… Brought to floor on December 9th 2008 and voted upon on December 10th 2008. After the previous month’s election that President Elect Barack Obama won. And as the Democrats knew they now held the House of Reps (Pelosi), the Senate (Reid) and the White House (Obama)….. Boy they moved fast on that one !
But wait, it gets even better…. (more…)

Before getting to the opinion of the group ‘Cause of Action’, allow me to just highlight the trail and how it appears to be falling into place.

January 2010 – President Obama gives a state of the union speech where he decries the recent Supreme Court ruling “Citizens United”.  (video here)  I’m also going to put the video below and make an odd request:
Please, watch it 5 to 8 times!   At each time look at the key people who react and/or rise after Obama’s words.   Most have noted Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito’s infamous mouthing of the words “that’s not true“, but I need you to look beyond Alito and the unknown Supreme court Senior aide {female at end of row}.

Look at Treasury Sec Tim Geithner and Attorney General Eric Holder.  Then replay and look at Senator Harry Reid, Senator Dick Durban and Senator Chuck Schumer {seated behind the Supremes}.   Pictures and video are worth thousands of words.
SUMMER 2010 –  In 2014 hindsight we know after this State of Union Speech – The IRS Tax Head Lois Lerner and the DOJ are in discussions about whether the Tax Enforcement Unit inside the DOJ should be assisting the IRS with investigation, using the FBI, of 501(c)(4) entities that are specifically the ire of the Obama administration as a result of that Citizens United ruling.  (more…)

In what might well be a very revealing week ahead the IRS will appear in two different court jurisdictions to explain the now infamous, lost but never reported, missing Lois Lerner emails.

On July 10th the IRS will have to explain in federal court the context of their failure to preserve evidence for the longstanding Judicial Watch lawsuit.   On May 13th 2013, the Lois Lerner emails were the subject of a specific JW lawsuit over non-compliance with FOIA.  The IRS has never told the court in this case that any emails were lost/missing.
The following day, on July 11th, the IRS will try to block a motion filed by Houston based True The Vote which seeks to have independent outside digital forensics experts comb through the IRS email files to see if the IRS claim is valid.   Judge Reggie Walton has agreed to hear arguments in support of True The Vote’s motion.

(Via The Hill) A federal judge on Wendesday ordered that the suspected ringleader in the 2012 Benghazi attacks be held in prison without bond.

…“did knowingly and intentionally conspire and agree with other conspirators, known and unknown to provide material support and resources to terrorists, that is personnel including himself and others.”  (link)

Federal prosecutors said Ahmed Abu Khattala needed to be detained because of his extremist connections and his expressed desire to harm U.S. citizens.
“Given the defendant’s proclivity for violence as well as his ability to readily communicate with other similar-minded individuals, as demonstrated by his status as a commander of an extremist brigade, his detention is the only means available to neutralize that threat,” prosecutors said in a court filing late Tuesday.  (more…)

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court says corporations can hold religious objections that allow them to opt out of the new health law requirement that they cover contraceptives for women.
The justices’ 5-4 decision Monday is the first time that the high court has ruled that profit-seeking businesses can hold religious views under federal law. And it means the Obama administration must search for a different way of providing free contraception to women who are covered under objecting companies’ health insurance plans. (more…)
