Dems Fear Huge Latino Shift, DOJ & The Mask Mandate, Is Property Racist?

by

Listen to “Dems Fear Huge Latino Shift, DOJ & The Mask Mandate, Is Property Racist?” on Spreaker.

Rob Long is in for Jim. Join Rob & Greg as they cheer the major commitment the GOP is putting into winning over Latino voters as the Dems panic. They also sigh as the Justice Department appeals a judge’s ruling ending mask mandates for planes and other transportation, but Rob explains the long game the DOJ is playing here. And they react to a Boston University professor who suggests the rampant property destruction in the riots of 2020 need to be understood in the context that property is inherently racist because black people were once considered property.

Virginia Police Reforms, Biden Off Message Again, Kinzinger 2024?

by

Listen to “Virginia Police Reforms, Biden Off Message Again, Kinzinger 2024?” on Spreaker.
Join Jim and Greg as they congratulate the Virginia legislature and Gov. Glenn Youngkin for passing common sense, bipartisan bills that outlaw formal or informal quotas on arrests and tickets by Virginia police. They also continue to be surprised at the messaging failures of the Biden White House, often with the President himself out of the loop, with transportation masking as the latest example. And despite no obvious constituency or hope of beating Donald Trump or Governor Ron DeSantis, Illinois Rep. Adam Kinzinger floated his name as a potential candidate in the 2024 presidential race.

Listen to “Vaccination Progress, Feds Probing Cuomo, Biden’s Goal for Schools” on Spreaker.

Join Jim and Greg as they serve up three good martinis, even if the last one is a bit iffy. First, they;re glad to see CVS reporting excellent progress administering vaccines to residents in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. They’re also happy to see the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York investigating the Cuomo administration for covering up the number of nursing home deaths. And they welcome President Biden’s goal of having K-8 students in school five days a week within his first 100 days, although they’ll believe it when they see it.

Heavy-Handed Government: McCarthy Talks Flynn Case, COVID Cops

by

Listen to “Heavy-Handed Government: McCarthy Talks Flynn Case, COVID Cops” on Spreaker.

On Thursday, the Justice Department announced it’s desire to drop the case against former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, a move that does not come as much of a surprise following last week’s revelation that FBI agents went to interview him in the White House with the intent of getting him to lie or to admit something that could get him fired or prosecuted.

In a statement, the DOJ said the January 2017 interview was “untethered to, and unjustified by, the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn” and that the interview was “conducted without any legitimate investigative basis” and that it was dropping the case “after a considered review of all the facts and circumstances of this case, including newly discovered and disclosed information.”

So how did this case move from a Flynn guilty plea to the Justice Department wanting to dump the matter?  Was Flynn the victim of a very shoddy process or are other lawyers right that the FBI used standard tactics in speaking with Flynn?

Former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Andrew C. McCarthy says the FBI conduct towards Flynn was highly improper and amounted to little more than an effort to get him to lie without any underlying criminal predicate.

McCarthy and Radio America’s Greg Corombos also discuss whether most Americans will see this as a decision made on the facts and the law or through their partisan lenses.

In addition, McCarthy discusses Ventura County, California, officials announcing that COVID-infected patients may be forced to leave their homes if others in the residence test negative and there is only one bathroom.  Is that constitutional?  And what does it say about how governments are responding to this crisis?

Don’t miss McCarthy’s insights on these two critical issues.

IG Report Skewers FBI Over FISA Warrants

by

Listen to “IG Report Skewers FBI Over FISA Warrants” on Spreaker.

On Monday, Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz released his long-awaited report on the FBI’s handling of FISA warrant requests and renewals concerning one-time Trump campaign figure Carter Page.

Horowitz concluded that there was no provable political bias that went into some 17 major errors in filing for the warrants, including the admission of obviously false information about Page and Trump and the exclusion of exculpatory information.  He also did not refer anyone for criminal prosecution.

Democrats and former FBI officials declared this a win for their position and a death blow to the idea that the Obama administration spied on the Trump campaign in 2016.

But former Chief Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew C. McCarthy says there’s plenty in the report which is very ugly for the FBI and everyone up the chain of command.

Listen to the full podcast as McCarthy tells Greg Corombos what stood out to him in the report, what’s still to come in the investigation led by U.S. Attorney John Durham and whether Horowitz is right to be worried that the rights of everyday Americans are at great risk of being trampled if the FBI acted in such a shoddy manner in a case of great national significance.

IG Report Blasts Comey, More Scrutiny Coming

by

Listen to “IG Report Blasts Comey, More Scrutiny Coming” on Spreaker.

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz blasted former FBI Director James Comey Thursday, accusing him of violating FBI policies and his own employment agreement in an effort to launch a special counsel investigation of President Trump.

The report blasts Comey for keeping personal memos after meeting with President Trump in his capacity as FBI director and then leaking memos to the media after Trump fired him as part of Comey’s effort to trigger a special counsel probe.  Then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein tapped former FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III for the job just days after Trump fired Comey.

Former Justice Department official Victoria Toensing, a longtime Comey critic, says this condemnation in the IG report comes as no surprise.

“We knew that there was a recommendation for prosecution, so it wasn’t going to be wine and roses from the IG,” said Toensing.

The Justice Department ultimately decided not to prosecute Comey.

However, Thursday’s report is far from the end for Comey and ongoing review of how the Trump-Russia probe began.  In particular, Toensing is looking forward to the next offering from Inspector General Horowitz.

“I’m look for the IG report on the FISA abuse, and certainly Comey was part of that,” said Toensing.  “James Comey signed an application to the FISA court that said ‘all the material in here has been verified.’

“We know from (The Hill columnist) John Solomon’s reporting that the FBI had a diagram of a chart of all the accusations and 90 percent was not verifiable,” said Toensing.

Listen to the full podcast to hear Toensing explain why she thinks the Justice Department was absolutely right not to prosecute Comey for mishandling documents and leaking them to the media and why she believes the government must prosecute former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

She also reacts to Comey’s contention that the IG report exonerates him.

Now What? – Ball of Collusion, Part 4

by

Listen to “Now What? – Ball of Collusion, Part 4” on Spreaker.

In the final part of our conversation, “Ball of Collusion” author Andrew C. McCarthy pivots from how the Trump-Russia unfolded to where we go from here.

What answers can we realistically expect from the Justice Department’s inspector general and from Attorney General Bill Barr’s investigation? Beyond that, how badly damaged is the credibility of the Justice Department and the FBI as a result of all this and how can that reputation be repaired.

Listen to the podcast as McCarthy explains that repairing the credibility of the DOJ and FBI is directly related to whether anyone is held responsible for what those institutions did to lose so much trust in the first place.
