#FunFact Matthew Whitaker was nominated and confirmed unanimously and without objection by Senate in 2004. Some familiar names back then right @SenSchumer?
This is the same Senate that confirmed Kavanaugh back then BTW😂

2015 Obama's DHS Secretary: Illegal immigration down significantly because "investments in border security. We built more fence. Pursuant to the Secure Fence Act of 2006, we went from 77 miles of fence to 700 miles of fence" cc: @SpeakerPelosi #BuildTheWall #SchumerPelosiShutdown
Pretty amazing that Sec. Johnson was saying almost exactly what @POTUS and @SecNielsen are saying now BUT you'd never know it from the Democrats outrage.

Jeh even had a little slide show bragging about building the "fence" is it just the word "wall" that triggers the #TweakerOfTheHouse @SpeakerPelosi

Only headline MSM cares about is “Border Patrol uses tear gas” leaving out hundreds of illegal aliens were attempting to storm the border while throwing rocks. @CBPSanDiego needs a barrier they can see through and can’t be easily climbed over. #BuildTheWall
Here’s one of the sweet little angels throwing the tear gas back at border patrol. #BuildTheWall
Surveillance video shows illegal aliens collecting rocks in preparation of their attempted illegal crossing. #BuildTheWall

Get this. The founder of #Hamilton68 was a CIA consultant. Add that gem to him being former FBI and Brookings Institute sure makes it inch closer to being an arm of Crossfire Hurricane👁‍🗨
PS- Different Brennan.
A quick recap of Brookings from @The_War_Economy, who long ago said the focus should be CIA.
Clint also testified before Senate twice about RUSSHAAA and is highly cited by pretty much every Democrat. Some even credit him for Mueller’s charges against Internet Research Agency🤡

For the past month, I’ve been wondering how we got to the point that Matthew Whitaker, not nominated let alone confirmed for any position in this administration, could be serving as the acting attorney general of the United States. Here’s what I’ve found: buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…
"The fight over the legality of Donald Trump’s appointment of Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker began with the death of J. Edgar Hoover nearly five decades ago." buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…
From Nixon to Reagan to Clinton to Trump, there have been big moments of big standoffs between Congress and the president on the issue of "acting" appointments. More often than not, they involved Robert Byrd (and William Proxmire) buzzfeednews.com/article/chrisg…

The OLC’s constitutional argument for #Whitaker as Acting AG is entirely based on historical precedent.
They don’t acknowledge that it can’t find a precedent *ever* for a non-Senate-confirmed acting Attorney General as a "head of a department." 1/ shugerblog.com/2018/11/20/the…
2/
 The only OLC precedent for an unconfirmed Acting AG is
1) from 1866,
2) for just a week
3) under the chaotic Andrew Johnson
4) who is infamous for flouting Congress and was impeached for it,
5) before the AG was even a “department head,” b/c DOJ did not yet exist.
3/ The Constitution identifies “Head of a Department” and “the principal officer of an executive department” as meaningful categories, whose significance is overlooked by OLC. Whitaker would be the head of DOJ. And thus he’d be a principal officer, needing Senate confirmation.

The Suffocation of Democracy

By: Christopher R. Browning

1/
As a historian specializing in the #Holocaust, #Nazi Germany, and #Europe in the era of the world wars, I have been repeatedly asked about the degree to which the current situation in the United States resembles the interwar period and the rise of #fascism in Europe.
2/
I would note several troubling similarities and one important but equally troubling difference.

In the 1920s, the US pursued #isolationism in foreign #policy and rejected participation in international organizations like the League of Nations.
