The Biden Administration just reportedly removed the whistleblower and his entire team from the Biden tax probe. foxnews.com/politics/irs-r… It raises concerns given federal whistleblower protections that include a bar on reassignments and "more subtle" acts. whistleblowers.gov
...The Justice Department is being cited as the agency ordering the change. It should be able to address concerns. If this reflects a change in the status of the investigation, the DOJ should be able to explain why the entire team was reportedly removed.

The hearing has started with Jack Smith in the Judiciary Committee...
...Smith is giving his opening statement. He stated that he did not consider the upcoming election in his actions. That is hard to square with the extraordinary efforts before the election by Smith, including filings clearly designed to impact voters in the view of many of us...
...It also involved irregular efforts to prosecute Trump before the election, including calling for skipping standard appeals that he might take...

After taking control of the Virginia government, Democrats unleashed a torrent of new tax proposals and other controversial measures. It is becoming a fringe frenzy, including a bill that would make it more difficult to find federal fraud by nonprofits...foxbusiness.com/politics/somal…
...With billions being investigated for fraud, Virginia Del. Jessica Anderson is pushing HB 1369 bar agencies from requiring recipients to supply federal eligibility information for funds. It appears part of a new state motto: Virginia is for Defrauders. lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/2…
...Here is the operative language: "No state agency responsible for the administration of federal funds shall impose a requirement on a nonprofit charitable organization providing a federal public benefit to determine, verify, or otherwise require proof of eligibility of any applicant for such benefits."

Don Lemon did his best to perfect the case against the protesters in the Minneapolis Church as targeting the congregants over their faith. In what sounds like a pitch for prosecution under the FACE Act, Lemon zeroed in on the religious values of the congregants in a new tirade...
...The former CNN host dismissed criticism for storming a church gathering, explaining "I think people who are, you know, in the religious groups like that, it's not the type of Christianity that I practice, but I think that they're entitled, and that entitlement comes from a supremacy, a White supremacy"...
...This follows organizer Nekima Levy Armstrong, who leads the local Racial Justice Network, is declaring that the churchgoers "need to check their theology and the need to check their hearts.”...

We are 15 minutes away from the oral argument in Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J. I will be on X and Fox News with the coverage...
...Notably, Lindsay Hecox does not want the Court to hear her case. This may reflect the fact that the Court is likely to not just rule against the claims under the Equal Protection Clause but establish historic new precedent...

...I will be listening with most interest to Justice Gorsuch who wrote the majority opinion in 2020 in Bostock v. Clayton County, ruling that federal employment discrimination laws protect gay and transgender employees. He was joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan. He treated the transgender status as employment discrimination “because of sex.”...

The criminal investigation of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell raises legitimate concerns over retaliation. There was no referral from Congress (as is usually the case in alleged false statements in hearings). There are equally legitimate concerns over the soaring costs, but that is hardly unknown in Washington...
...President Trump has insisted that he did not order the criminal investigation, but the concern is that this is a Becket-like circumstance where associates respond to the implied question of "who will rid me of this meddlesome fed?'
...The most credible cases are referrals not from individual members but from a Committee and supported by the House...

A new video on the cellphone camera of the shooting officer is now available. That is the video that some of us have said that we most wanted to see. It shows the car driving directly into the officer as the wife of Good taunts the officer...
...The speed of the encounter is captured in the new video and reinforces the argument of the officer under the prevailing legal standard. This does not appear to be something akin to being hit by a refrigerator door, according to Mayor Frey...
...The video does show that Good's wife taunted the agents taking the license plate of the vehicle and indicated that they expected to be contacted later. However, Good takes off without her and speeds directly into the officer...
