Since Democrats are in meltdown over the fired Inspectors General, remember that Norm Eisen fired IGs for clearly political reasons under Obama.

Eisen went on MSNBC to attack @realDonaldTrump for something he did. Image
The Inspector General for the Corporation for National and Community Service (AmeriCorps) Gerald Walpin was fired by Eisen after his tough oversight efforts to hold senior officials accountable for excusing a friend/Obama crony who mismanaged charter school funds and was sexually inappropriate towards students.
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and the Senate Finance Committee put out a 62 page report, “The Firing of the Inspector General for the CNCS,” outlined how Obama allies and Eisen were able to remove Walpin without a formal review.

The White House Counsel’s Office withheld information from Congress and misled investigators after Rep. Issa and Sen. Grassley questioned the President’s methods and motives for removing Walpin.
There was sizable evidence the removal was motivated by a desire to protect a friend and political ally of the President, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson.  The Inspector General and CNCS management were clashing over an inquiry into misuse of federal grant funds at a charity run by Johnson, including personal services like car washes and pay for political campaign work.  The Inspector General was pushing aggressively to require Johnson to repay the federal grant money that his charity could not account for.
Eisen personally delivered an illegal ultimatum to. He demanded that Walpin resign or be terminated within one hour.  At the time he delivered the ultimatum, no notice had been provided to Congress as is legally required by the Inspector General Reform Act.
While undergoing Senate Confirmation hearings, Eisen refused to answer questions from Senator Chuck Grassley about the matter and later lied about his conduct. His lies were so blatant he issued an apology to Senator Grassley. Image

EXCLUSIVE: Assistant U.S. Attorney Will Rosenzweig secretly ran anti-Trump blog for YEARS attacking Trump, mocking his supporters, and even plotting “opposition” tactics.

He smeared him as a “mentally unfit” “white supremacist.”

Now he’s using government power to wage LAWFARE against MAGA patriots.

Fire him. ⬇️🧵Image

According to his own Facebook posts, since January 2016, current Assistant United States Attorney Rosenzweig has been running a now-private blog called “Hosts of Error,” where he has been publishing vicious attacks on President Trump and his supporters. Rosenzweig joined the US Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of Florida at the end of Trump’s first term and still works there today.

Rosenzweig wrote an opinion piece for The Hill in 2016, which likewise identifies him as the author of the “Hosts of Error” blog. In the piece, Rosenzweig argued:
“Donald Trump would be a disastrous President in a myriad of unprecedented ways. He has a hair trigger in a world with infinite provocations. He threatens to upend the post-war security regime that has thus far averted world war. And his explicitly racist policies on immigration, law enforcement, and combating foreign terrorism threaten domestic unrest and foreign upheaval. The only way to brush aside such profound threats to our national security and tranquility is to elevate the importance of something else.”Image

Although Rosenzweig’s blog posts are now private, many of them are available on the Internet Archive. There are too many posts to choose from, but here are a few highlights. The rot at DOJ goes deeper than anyone can imagine.

In 2018, Rosenzweig wrote:
“It has been clear for some time now that Donald Trump is mentally unfit to be president of the United States. This observation has little to do with recognizing his profound lack of knowledge, expertise, or interest in the job, to say nothing of his gusto for dousing America’s smoldering racial and religious divisions with kerosene, or his penchant for looting the government’s coffers for his own private gain. All of that is true, and supports the years-long insistence from Democrats and half-hearted, anonymous leaks from timid Republicans that Trump is fundamentally unable to perform even the most minimal functions of the job. What has become increasingly clear since he took the oath of office, however, is something even more serious—Trump is exhibiting significant mental deterioration and instability.”

In another post, Rosenzweig called Trump an illegitimate President and declared:
“Wholesale opposition to Trump himself is morally essential… Trump is not just an unpopular president; he is the difficulty to be overcome.”

Rosenzweig also argued:
“Trump is not a typical Republican with typically bad policies and typically tone deaf to the needs of America’s downtrodden. He is acting consciously to deplete the pillars of western democracy at home and abroad, who colluded with a geopolitical adversary to gain power, who intends to use that power to enrich himself at the expense of the national interest, who will violate the constitution’s prohibitions on foreign influence and corruption on his first day in office, and who flouts the universal norms that sustain us as an exceptional and just nation. That is why Trump is to be opposed at every turn.”

Rosenzweig also called President Trump “an institutional terrorist” and argued the Senate should refuse to even consider any Trump cabinet-level nominee, writing:
“For there is nothing chaotic or tumultuous about a deliberate plan by an institutional terrorist hell bent on dismantling the citizenry’s trust in its own government. How else could you describe a president so gleeful over the sickening drama he has injected into his own administration’s bloodstream? Rather than replenish a government he has failed to adequately fill, Donald Trump continues to haphazardly hack away.”Image

MEDIA HOAX: Factory owners in New York claimed they felt “terrorized” after an ICE raid resulted in their employees being detained Saturday.

A closer look reveals the owners likely lied about their employee vetting process and adherence to federal labor laws – and MSM outlets like CNN bought it hook, line and sinker.

THREAD⬇️Image
Co-owner Lenny Schmidt told CNN that his company Nutrition Bar Confectioners “vet[s] each person as best as [they] can inaccordance with [federal labor] laws.” However, records suggestthe business has not enrolled in E-Verify – the federal government’s free database for employers to confirm employment eligibility – once in the past 30 YEARS.Image
Schmidt also told CNN Nutrition Bar Confectioners complies with all federal labor laws. However, Schmidt’s business has a history of violating labor protection laws. In 2018, OSHA issuedNutrition Bar Confectioners $14,228 in fines after finding the company did not provide the proper methods of machine guarding on one of its mixers, with the oversight ultimately resulting in the amputation of one of its employee’s right hands.Image

🚨 EXCLUSIVE SCOOP 🚨

Harvard got caught sending its students on Chinese Communist Party–funded indoctrination trips to China.

🧵🧵🧵 Image
1/ These trips are bankrolled by the China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF) — a CCP influence group founded by a top Beijing political operative.

A delegation of 17 students occurred last month. Image
2/ CUSEF openly brags about hosting Harvard delegations, selling it as “cultural exchange.”

In reality, it’s propaganda designed to groom future U.S. elites to be pro-China.

🚨 Several “tough on China” GOP Congressmen are quietly backing a program that brings MORE Chinese nationals into America without going through normal visa checks.

@Jim_Jordan @BrianMastFL @RepTroyNehls — care to explain?

🧵🧵🧵
The EVS-TAP program lets Chinese nationals — even Chinese Communist Party members — get U.S. entry through the Northern Mariana Islands with virtually zero oversight.

These islands are U.S. territory.

Once in, they can buy American IDs and some have already tried to infiltrate Guam’s military bases, just 60 miles away.
King-Hinds names @Jim_Jordan as one of the biggest backers of the Chinese EVS-TAP visa scheme.

He even called her privately to celebrate. Why no mention of this to your base?

🚨 Why are researchers from Chinese Communist Party-run institutions advising the Fed?

Researchers from communist institutions with histories of espionage are listed as co-authors on papers with Fed employees.

Are taxpayers subsidizing this?
A paper presented as part of the Fed’s 2020 Finance and Economics Discussion Series was co-authored by John Rogers and Wenbin Wu.

Rogers was ultimately indicated for spying on behalf of China. Image

A 2016 paper featuring Fed Governor Justin Pierce - “Does Trade Liberalization with China Influence U.S.
Elections?” - included a researcher from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

This CCP university was flagged by the Senate for espionage against the US. Image

🚨 Microsoft built “Windows 10 China Government Edition” in partnership with a sanctioned Chinese military proxy for use by the CCP.

It used the same security features and tech as the U.S. Department of Defense’s version of Windows.

⬇️⬇️⬇️
The program was a joint venture with CETC, flagged by the DOD for collaborating with China’s People’s Liberation Army since 1999.

CETC was also blacklisted by the Commerce Department for building military islands in the South China Sea.

It’s a state-owned company. Image
Microsoft’s Executive VP even wrote a glowing blog post announcing the partnership: Image
