Jobless Claims Drop – Labor Market Remains Very Strong…. Posted on December 26, 2019 by sundance
"White House – DRIVING A RECORD-SETTING ECONOMY: The booming economy and strong labor market allow Americans of all backgrounds to find work and succeed.
♦ The current labor market revival is not a continuation of past trends, but instead a direct result of President Trump’s pro-growth policies.
- Since President Trump was elected, more than 7 million jobs have been added to our economy – surpassing the Congressional Budget Office’s predictions by 5 million jobs.
- This year, the unemployment rate has fallen to 3.5%, its lowest level in 50 years.
- Unemployment for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and those without a high school diploma have all reached record lows under President Trump.
- The President’s policies are bringing people off the sidelines and into the labor force.
- The prime age labor force has grown by 2.1 million under President Trump.
- The surge in labor demand has resulted in 7 million job openings, which outnumber job seekers by more than 1 million.
- Before President Trump took office, there had never been more recorded job openings than unemployed workers.

Very Important Interview: Devin Nunes Discusses FISA Investigation, Rod Rosenstein, Currently Corrupt DOJ/FBI, and Robert Mueller… Posted on October 7, 2018 by sundance
"Critical – Critical – Critical"
"House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes appears with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the ongoing FISA abuse investigation; the use of Michael Sussmann to act as a go-between for the DNC and FBI; the status of Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein, and his upcoming (10/11) testimony; current visible activity within the DOJ that points to their ongoing corruption; and how all of that relates to the Robert Mueller investigation."
"This is a very important interview segment because it dovetails with the much larger issue CTH outlined about: “How Deep Is This Swamp“? Believe me, you’re going to want to watch this several times to absorb the bigger-big picture that Nunes is careful to explain."

“THEY CAN END IT NOW” by Ren Jander, ©2019
"...the Senate can acquit immediately without waiting for Speaker Pelosi to transfer articles of impeachment, or for House impeachment managers to be appointed. This is because the Supreme Court has ruled – in the Nixon case – that how the Senate goes about acquitting or convicting any impeached person is non-justiciable, in that the Senate’s power is plenary and the Supreme Court may not even review it."
"This means that if the Senate acquits Trump immediately – without a trial – the Supreme Court has no authority, whatsoever, to review the Senate’s acquittal, and there isn’t a damn thing the House can do about it."
... ...
"Not only did the Supreme Court reject the assertion that it could review the Senate’s conduct in acquitting or convicting any person impeached by the House, the Court held that it couldn’t even identify a limit upon the Senate’s authority to acquit or convict."
"The Court also held that no separate provision of the Constitution is defeated by such a plenary construction of the Senate’s authority. Therefore, not even the sole power of the House to impeach is defeated by the Senate’s sole power to acquit or convict. Boom. Just end it now, Mitch."

The Full Text of the Nunes Memo - On Friday, the House Intelligence Committee released the controversial document, which alleges surveillance abuses by the FBI. by LENA FELTON FEBRUARY 2, 2018
"On Friday, the House Intelligence Committee, which is chaired by Republican Representative Devin Nunes, released a four-page memo alleging surveillance abuses by the FBI. Earlier this week, Republicans on the committee voted to make the document public. The classified document has drawn criticism from Democratic lawmakers, who argue it is misleading, as well as from law enforcement officials. In a rare statement, the FBI warned against the document’s release, saying it had “grave concerns” about its accuracy. Despite pushback from officials, the White House approved the release of the memo Friday."

Bad News For Coup Crew – Former NSA Director Mike Rogers Working With John Durham For Several Months… Posted on December 20, 2019 by sundance
"Merry Christmas. The intercept is reporting that former NSA Director, Admiral Mike Rogers, has been working with U.S. Attorney John Durham for several months during his investigation into the origin of the 2016 intelligence operation against candidate Trump.
This is particularly important because NSA Director Mike Rogers’ knowledge is at the epicenter of the origination of almost everything related to the FBI data-surveillance that was happening in 2015 and 2016."
..."BACKSTORY: When Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes explained his concerns in March 2017 -about what he saw from a review of 2016 intelligence gathering, reporting and subsequent unmasking- the issue behind his concern was clouded in mystery. Indeed the larger headlines at the time were about demanding a special prosecutor and driving the Russia conspiracy narrative."
..."In hindsight, and with information from our assembled timelines of 2016 though today, we can now revisit those March 2017 concerns expressed by Chairman Nunes with a great deal more perspective and information. Understanding the information helps us all understand the totality of Nunes original frame of reference."

Remarks on House Democrats’ Impeachment of President Trump
‘This is by
far the thinnest basis for any House-passed presidential impeachment in
American history… The prosecutors are getting cold feet in front of the entire
country and second-guessing whether they even want to go to trial… It will be
an unprecedented constitutional crisis if the Senate agrees to set the bar this
low forever.’
‘Last night
House Democrats finally did what they decided to do long ago: They voted to
impeach President Trump.
‘Over the
last 12 weeks, House Democrats have conducted the most rushed, least thorough,
and most unfair impeachment inquiry in modern history.
‘Now their
slapdash process has concluded in the first purely partisan presidential
impeachment since the wake of the Civil War. The opposition to impeachment was
bipartisan. Only one part of one faction wanted this outcome.
‘The House’s
conduct risks deeply damaging the institutions of American government. This
particular House of Representatives has let its partisan rage at this
particular President create a toxic new precedent that will echo into the
future.
‘That’s what
I want to discuss now: The historic degree to which House Democrats have failed
to do their duty — and what it will mean for the Senate to do ours.
‘Let’s start
at the beginning. Let’s start with the fact that Washington Democrats made up
their minds to impeach President Trump since before he was even inaugurated
‘Here’s a
reporter in April 2016. Quote, “Donald Trump isn’t even the Republican nominee
yet… [but] ‘Impeachment’ is already on the lips of pundits, newspaper
editorials, constitutional scholars, and even a few members of Congress."
‘On
Inauguration Day 2017, this headline in the Washington Post: “The campaign to
impeach President Trump has begun.” That was day one.
‘In April
2017, three months into the presidency, a senior House Democrat said “I’m going
to fight every day until he’s impeached.” That was three months in.
‘In December
2017, two years ago, Congressman Jerry Nadler was openly campaigning to be
ranking member on House Judiciary specifically because he was an expert on
impeachment.
‘This week
wasn’t even the first time House Democrats have introduced articles of
impeachment. It was the seventh time.
‘They
started less than six months after the president was sworn in.
‘They tried
to impeach President Trump for being impolite to the press... For being mean to
professional athletes... For changing President Obama’s policy on transgender
people in the military.
‘All of
these things were “high crimes and misdemeanors” according to Democrats.
‘This wasn’t
just a few people. Scores of Democrats voted to move forward with impeachment
on three of those prior occasions.
‘So let’s be
clear. The House’s vote yesterday was not some neutral judgment that Democrats
came to reluctantly. It was the pre-determined end of a partisan crusade that
began before President Trump was even nominated, let alone sworn in.
‘For the
very first time in modern history we have seen a political faction in Congress
promise from the moment a presidential election ended that they would find some
way to overturn it.
‘A few
months ago, Democrats’ three-year-long impeachment in search of articles found
its way to the subject of Ukraine. And House Democrats embarked on the most
rushed, least thorough, and most unfair impeachment inquiry in modern history.
‘Chairman
Schiff’s inquiry was poisoned by partisanship from the outset. Its procedures
and parameters were unfair in unprecedented ways.
‘Democrats
tried to make Chairman Schiff into a de facto Special Prosecutor, notwithstanding
the fact that he is a partisan member of Congress who’d already engaged in
strange and biased behavior.
‘He scrapped
precedent to cut the Republican minority out of the process. He denied
President Trump the same sorts of procedural rights that Houses of both parties
had provided to past presidents of both parties.
‘President
Trump’s counsel could not participate in Chairman Schiff’s hearings, present
evidence, or cross-examine witnesses.
‘The House
Judiciary Committee’s crack at this was even more ahistorical. It was like the
Speaker called up Chairman Nadler and ordered one impeachment, rush delivery
please.
‘That
Committee found no facts of its own and did nothing to verify the Schiff
report. Their only witnesses were liberal law professors and congressional
staffers.
‘There’s a
reason the impeachment inquiry that led to President Nixon’s resignation
required about 14 months of hearings. 14 months. In addition to a special
prosecutor’s investigation.
‘With
President Clinton, the independent counsel’s inquiry had been underway for
years before the House Judiciary Committee dug in. Mountains of evidence.
Mountains of testimony from firsthand fact witnesses. Serious legal battles to
get what was necessary.
‘This time
around, House Democrats skipped all of that and spent just 12 weeks.
‘More than a
year of hearings for Nixon... multiple years of investigation for Clinton...
and they’ve impeached President Trump in 12 weeks.
‘So let’s
talk about what the House actually produced in those 12 weeks.
‘House
Democrats’ rushed and rigged inquiry yielded two articles of impeachment. They
are fundamentally unlike any articles that any prior House of Representatives
has ever passed.
‘The first
article concerns the core events which House Democrats claim are impeachable —
the timing of aid to Ukraine.
‘But it does
not even purport to allege any actual crime. Instead, they deploy this vague
phrase, “abuse of power,” to impugn the president’s actions in a general,
indeterminate way.
‘Speaker
Pelosi’s House just gave into a temptation that every other House in history
had managed to resist: They impeached a president whom they do not even allege
has committed an actual crime known to our laws. They impeached simply because
they disagree with a presidential act and question the motive behind it.
‘Look at
history. The Andrew Johnson impeachment revolved around a clear violation of a
criminal statute, albeit an unconstitutional one. Nixon had obstruction of
justice — a felony under our laws. Clinton had perjury — also a felony.
‘Now, the
Constitution does not say the House can impeach only those presidents who
violate a law.
‘But history
matters. Precedent matters. And there were important reasons why every previous
House of Representatives in American history restrained itself from crossing
this Rubicon.
‘The framers
of our Constitution very specifically discussed whether the House should be
able to impeach presidents just for “maladministration”— in other words,
because the House simply thought the president had bad judgment or was doing a
bad job.
‘The written
records of the founders’ debates show they specifically rejected this. They
realized it would create total dysfunction to set the bar for impeachment that
low.
‘James
Madison himself explained that allowing impeachment on that basis would mean
the President serves at the pleasure of the Congress instead of the pleasure of
the American people.
‘It would
make the President a creature of Congress, not the head of a separate and equal
branch. So there were powerful reasons why Congress after Congress for 230
years required presidential impeachments to revolve around clear, recognizable
crimes, even though that was not a strict limitation.
‘Powerful
reasons why, for 230 years, no House opened the Pandora’s box of subjective,
political impeachments.
‘That
230-year tradition died last night.
‘Now, House
Democrats have tried to say they had to impeach President Trump on this
historically thin and subjective basis because the White House challenged their
requests for more witnesses.
‘And that
brings us to the second article of impeachment.
‘The House
titled this one “obstruction of Congress.” What it really does is impeach the
president for asserting presidential privilege.
‘The concept
of executive privilege is another two-century-old constitutional tradition.
Presidents starting with George Washington have invoked it. Federal courts have
repeatedly affirmed it as a legitimate constitutional power.
‘House
Democrats requested extraordinary amounts of sensitive information from
President Trump’s White House — exactly the kinds of things over which
presidents of both parties have asserted privilege in the past.
‘Predictably,
and appropriately, President Trump did not simply roll over. He defended the
constitutional authority of his office.
‘It is not a
constitutional crisis for a House to want more information than a president
wants to give up. It is a routine occurrence. The separation of powers is messy
by design.
‘Here’s what
should happen next: Either the President and Congress negotiate a settlement,
or the third branch of government, the judiciary, addresses the dispute between
the other two.
‘The Nixon
impeachment featured disagreements over presidential privilege — so they went
to the courts. The Clinton impeachment featured disagreements over presidential
privilege — so they went to the courts.
‘This takes
time. It’s inconvenient. That’s actually the point. Due process is not meant to
maximize the convenience of the prosecutor. It is meant to protect the accused.
‘But this
time was different. Remember: 14 months of hearings for Richard Nixon… years of
investigation for Bill Clinton… but 12 weeks for President Trump.
‘Democrats
didn’t have to rush this. But they chose to stick to their political timetable
at the expense of pursuing more evidence through proper legal channels.
‘Nobody made
Chairman Schiff do this. He chose to.
‘The Tuesday
before last, on live television, Adam Schiff explained to the entire country
that if House Democrats had let the justice system follow its normal course,
they might not have gotten to impeach the president in time for the election!
‘In Nixon,
the courts were allowed to do their work. In Clinton, the courts were allowed
to do their work. Only these House Democrats decided due process is too much
work and they’d rather impeach with no proof.
And, they
tried to cover for their own partisan impatience by pretending that the routine
occurrence of a president exerting constitutional privilege is itself a second
impeachable offense.
The
following is something that Adam Schiff literally said in early October. Here’s
what he said:
“Any action…
that forces us to litigate, or have to consider litigation, will be considered
further evidence of obstruction of justice."
‘Here is
what the Chairman effectively said, and what one of his committee members restated
just this week: If the President asserts his constitutional rights, it’s that
much more evidence he is guilty.
‘That kind
of bullying is antithetical to American justice.
‘So those
are House Democrats’ two articles of impeachment. That’s all their rushed and
rigged inquiry could generate:
‘An act that
the House does not even allege is criminal; and a nonsensical claim that
exercising a legitimate presidential power is somehow an impeachable offense.
‘This is by
far the thinnest basis for any House-passed presidential impeachment in
American history. The thinnest and the weakest — and nothing else comes even
close.
‘And
candidly, I don’t think I am the only person around here who realizes this.
Even before the House voted yesterday, Democrats had already started to signal
uneasiness with its end product.
‘Before the
articles even passed, the Senate Democratic Leader went on television to demand
that this body re-do House Democrats’ homework for them. That the Senate should
supplement Chairman Schiff’s sloppy work so it is more persuasive than Chairman
Schiff himself bothered to make it.
‘Of course,
every such demand simply confirms that House Democrats have rushed forward with
a case that is much too weak.
‘Back in
June, Speaker Pelosi promised the House would, quote, “build an ironclad case.”
Never mind that she was basically promising impeachment months before the
Ukraine events, but that’s a separate matter.
‘She
promised “an ironclad case.”
‘And in
March, Speaker Pelosi said this: “Impeachment is so divisive to the country
that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I
don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country.” End
quote.
‘By the
Speaker’s own standards, she has failed the country. This case is not
compelling, not overwhelming, and as a result, not bipartisan. This failure was
made clear to everyone earlier this week, when Senator Schumer began searching
for ways the Senate could step out of our proper role and try to fix House
Democrats’ failures for them.
‘And it was
made even more clear last night, when Speaker Pelosi suggested that House
Democrats may be too afraid to even transmit their work product to the Senate.
‘The
prosecutors are getting cold feet in front of the entire country and
second-guessing whether they even want to go to trial.
‘They said
impeachment was so urgent that it could not even wait for due process but now
they’re content to sit on their hands. It is comical.
‘Democrats’
own actions concede that their allegations are unproven.
‘But the
articles aren’t just unproven. They’re also constitutionally incoherent.
Frankly, if either of these articles is blessed by the Senate, we could easily
see the impeachment of every future president of either party.
‘Let me say
that again: If the Senate blesses this historically low bar, we will invite the
impeachment of every future president.
‘The House
Democrats’ allegations, as presented, are incompatible with our constitutional
order. They are unlike anything that has ever been seen in 230 years of this
Republic.
‘House
Democrats want to create new rules for this president because they feel
uniquely enraged. But long after the partisan fever of this moment has broken,
the institutional damage will remain.
‘I’ve
described the threat to the presidency. But this also imperils the Senate
itself.
‘The House
has created an unfair, unfinished product that looks nothing like any
impeachment inquiry in American history. And if the Speaker ever gets her house
in order, that mess will be dumped on the Senate’s lap.
‘If the
Senate blesses this slapdash impeachment... if we say that from now on, this is
enough… then we will invite an endless parade of impeachment trials.
‘Future
Houses of either party will feel free to toss up a “jump ball” every time they
feel angry. Free to swamp the Senate with trial after trial, no matter how
baseless the charges.
‘We would be
giving future Houses of either party unbelievable new power to paralyze the
Senate at their whim.
‘More thin
arguments. More incomplete evidence. More partisan impeachments.
In fact,
this same House of Representatives has already indicated that they themselves
may not be done impeaching!
‘The House
Judiciary Committee told a federal court this week that it will continue its
impeachment investigation even after voting on these articles. And multiple
Democratic members have already called publicly for more.
‘If the
Senate blesses this, if the nation accepts it, presidential impeachments may
cease being once-in-a-generation events and become a constant part of the
political background noise.
‘This
extraordinary tool of last resort may become just another part of the arms race
of polarization.
‘Real
statesmen would have recognized, no matter their view of this president, that
trying to remove him on this thin and partisan basis could unsettle the
foundations of our Republic.
‘Real
statesmen would have recognized, no matter how much partisan animosity might be
coursing through their veins, that cheapening the impeachment process was not
the answer.
‘Historians
will regard this as a great irony of this era: That so many who professed such
concern for our norms and traditions themselves proved willing to trample our
constitutional order to get their way.
‘It is long
past time for Washington D.C. to get a little perspective.
‘President
Trump is not the first president with a populist streak…Not the first to make
entrenched elites uncomfortable. He’s certainly not the first president to
speak bluntly… to mistrust the administrative state… or to rankle unelected
bureaucrats.
‘And Heaven
knows he is not our first president to assert the constitutional privileges of
his office rather than roll over when Congress demands unlimited sensitive
information.
‘None of
these things is unprecedented.
‘I’ll tell
you what would be unprecedented. It will be an unprecedented constitutional
crisis if the Senate hands the House of Representatives a new, partisan “vote
of no confidence” that the founders intentionally withheld, destroying the
independence of the presidency.
‘It will be
unprecedented if we agree that any future House that dislikes any future
president can rush through an unfair inquiry, skip the legal system, and
paralyze the Senate with a trial. The House could do that at will under this
precedent.
‘It will be
unprecedented if the Senate says secondhand and thirdhand testimony from
unelected civil servants is enough to overturn the people’s vote.
‘It will be
an unprecedented constitutional crisis if the Senate agrees to set the bar this
low — forever.
‘It is clear
what this moment requires. It requires the Senate to fulfill our founding
purpose.
‘The framers
built the Senate to provide stability. To take the long view for our Republic.
To safeguard institutions from the momentary hysteria that sometimes consumes
our politics. To keep partisan passions from boiling over.
‘The Senate
exists for moments like this.
‘That’s why
this body has the ultimate say in impeachments.
‘The framers
knew the House would be too vulnerable to transient passions and violent
factionalism. They needed a body that could consider legal questions about what
has been proven and political questions about what the common good of our
nation requires.
‘Hamilton
said explicitly in Federalist 65 that impeachment involves not just legal
questions, but inherently political judgments about what outcome best serves
the nation.
‘The House
can’t do both. The courts can’t do both.
‘This is as
grave an assignment as the Constitution gives to any branch of government, and
the framers knew only the Senate could handle it. Well, the moment the framers
feared has arrived.
‘A political
faction in the lower chamber have succumbed to partisan rage. They have
fulfilled Hamilton’s prophesy that impeachment will, quote, “connect itself
with the pre-existing factions... enlist all their animosities... [and] there
will always be the greatest danger that the decision will be regulated more by
the comparative strength of parties, than by the real demonstrations of
innocence or guilt.” End quote.
‘That is
what happened in the House last night. The vote did not reflect what had been
proven. It only reflects how they feel about the President.
‘The Senate
must put this right. We must rise to the occasion.
‘There is
only one outcome that is suited to the paucity of evidence, the failed inquiry,
the slapdash case.
‘Only one
outcome suited to the fact that the accusations themselves are constitutionally
incoherent.
‘Only one
outcome that will preserve core precedents rather than smash them into bits in
a fit of partisan rage because one party still cannot accept the American
people’s choice in 2016.
‘It could
not be clearer which outcome would serve the stabilizing,
institution-preserving, fever-breaking role for which the United States Senate
was created… and which outcome would betray it.
‘The
Senate’s duty is clear. The Senate’s duty is clear.
‘When the
time comes, we must fulfill it.’
