And then, after concocting a booby trapped plea deal on a Mickey Mouse gun rap that blew up under a judge\u2019s scrutiny, the selfsame Mr. Weiss is appointed Special Counsel (i.e. prosecutor) over those very cases. Say, whu\u2026? Not to mention that it\u2019s against the regulations to appoint anyone special counsel from within the DOJ.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Well, you see, Mr. Weiss is a splendid fellow, Mr. Garland explained.\u00a0<\/strong>When asked if he could give a working definition of professional incompetence, the AG affected to be stumped. In the course of all this play-acting, Mr. Garland maybe perjured himself several times, and he seemed painfully aware of his own possible looming legal difficulties.<\/p>\n<p>One suspects through all this mummery and confabulation that Merrick<strong>\u00a0Garland is not actually in charge of the US DOJ. Then who is? My guess would be the ultra low profile Deputy AG Lisa Monaco,<\/strong>\u00a0a mitochondria of the DC blob, one of its energy cells. Ms. Monaco was up to her eyeballs in the Obama regime\u2019s prep work for the Russia Collusion Hoax of 2016, and since her appointment as DAG in April, 2021, is a behind the scenes architect of the new American police state.\u00a0<em>The Washington Post<\/em>\u00a0pretends that she doesn\u2019t exist. One\u00a0also wonders when a House committee will become interested in deposing her, especially on the subject of her involvement with J-6 prosecutions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So far, the blob has gotten away with its many depredations<\/strong>\u00a0because the DC federal district court is one of its pseudopods, able to reach out, engulf, and dissolve anyone who poses a threat.\u00a0<strong>But a turning point in America\u2019s struggle against blobbery may have been crossed far away from there.\u00a0<\/strong>Down in Texas, which is lately afflicted with blobitis, the state Attorney General Ken Paxton escaped an impeachment trap laid by Party of Chaos state legislators and blob allies revolving around Karl Rove and the next-gen Bush family, losing its legacy as owners of the Texas GOP.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Paxton must be royally pissed off by these shenanigans and maybe ready to rumble with blob agent Homeland Security Sec\u2019y Alejandro Mayorkas and his putative boss, \u201cJoe Biden.\u201d As it happens, with Autumn here and temperatures along the border moderating, crossings of illegal aliens are at 10,000 a day. A few days after Mr. Paxton\u2019s aquittal in the Texas Senate, Governor Greg Abbot officially declared \u201can invasion.\u201d Under the US Constitution, federal failure to defend the border allows the states to repel the invaders with force.<strong>\u00a0It also pretty explicitly spells out an impeachable offense against \u201cJoe Biden\u201d \u2014 failure to defend our country. \u00a0The blob quivers and throbs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/kunstler.com\/clusterfuck-nation\/20419\/\">https:\/\/kunstler.com\/clusterfuck-nation\/20419\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-187574","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=187574"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187574\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=187574"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=187574"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=187574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
