Leftist Lawfare – Manhattan Judge Issues Emergency Order Removing Secretary of Treasury, All Political Appointees and DOGE Personnel from Federal Govt., Only Bureaucrats Allowed in DC

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

In a stunning and sweeping emergency injunction that has even stunned the people who demanded it, a Manhattan-based District Judge has just removed Secretary of State Scott Bessent from his authority over the Treasury Department; blocked any political appointee from accessing records within the Treasury Department; blocked any “special appointee” of President Trump from records within Treasury; and demanded that all information previously extracted be destroyed.

The emergency injunction was signed by District Judge Paul Engelmayer in Manhattan, {Ruling pdf Here} determined without any input from the Trump administration and applies until Friday, February 14, 2025, when U.S. District Judge Jeannette A. Vargas will hear the full arguments of the lawsuit.

The emergency ruling comes as a result of 15 (Soros installed) attorneys general from New Jersey, New York, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, Rhode Island, and Vermont, all filed suit in New York seeking to block Elon Musk and DOGE from access to information that would reveal how activist groups in their states have been funded by the U.S. government.

UPDATE: A comment from the link above. Many good comments but this one is thorough:

This is awesome! I’m dead serious. Under no conceivable reading of the Constitution is this jack wagon judge permitted to do this. This is going to backfire in ways that Lawfare is going to regret far more than their election loss last Fall. This is going to get straight to SCOTUS and SCOTUS very quickly going to strike this down in a way that essentially blocks all other Federal judges from future interference in DOGE and the criminal prosecutions that are going to follow.

Essentially, what they’re arguing is that the President is not actually the President. And a Senate-confirmed Treasury Secretary is not a Senate-confirmed Treasury Secretary unless some Podunk judge says it is okay.

We’re at the point I’ve been stating for many days now: IT IS TIME TO ANNOUNCE THE CRIMINAL PROBE. DOGE has not just uncovered “government inefficiency”. DOGE has uncovered obvious evidence of Federal crimes being committed by USAID employees, Treasury Dept. employees, CPFB employees, etc. Among these are money laundering, racketeering, influence peddling, embezzlement, etc.

Trump should simply issue an EO that as the nation’s Chief Law Enforcement Officer he has direct evidence of federal crimes having been committed. Direct the AG to launch an immediate criminal investigation. And then target not just USAID or CPFB, but the Federal Judges who are participating in obstruction of justice.

In parallel, fast track it to SCOTUS and the central theme of your brief isn’t just that this is absurdly unconstitutional, but also that it is directly interfering in a criminal investigation as well as a national security matter.

Oh Boy – DOGE Team Now Reviewing Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, The Elizabeth Warren Shakedown Racket

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

If you thought the USAID revelations were alarming sunlight, just wait until you see the apoplectic fits of rage about to come out from the Democrats, the DNC affiliated community activist groups, and the professional leftists who all rely upon the financial mechanism of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

According to a Politico article (also funded by USAID money), written with stunning amount of anger and apoplexy itself, Elon Musk’s DOGE team has just entered the CFPB to do a review and audit.  This one is going to be beyond bananas.

Jumpin’ ju-ju bones, tell Ma, to fire up the coffee pot, we are in for a delicious treat.  There’s no way for the DC outrage machine to handle this dose of Trumpian nitrous oxide directly into the intake manifold.  The machine will explode.

BACKGROUND FIRST – The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CPFB) was originally created by congress (Elizabeth Warren lead) as a quasi-constitutional watchdog agency to reach into the banking and financial system, under the guise of oversight, and extract money by fining entities for CFPB defined regulatory and/or compliance violations

Essentially, the CFPB is a congressionally authorized far-left extortion scheme in the banking sector.  The CFPB levies fines; the fines generate income; however, unlike traditional fines that go to the U.S. treasury, the CFBP fines are then redistributed to left-wing organizations to help fund their political activism.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was the brainchild of Senator Elizabeth Warren as an outcome of the Dodd-Frank legislation. Within the CFPB Warren tried to set up the head of the agency, the Director, in a manner that that he/she would operate without oversight. Unfortunately, her dictatorial-fiat-design collapsed when challenged in court.  Backstory #1 – Backstory #2

A federal court found the CFPB Director position held too much power and deemed it unconstitutional. The court decision noted that giving the President power to fire the Director would fix the constitutional problem.  This issue was argued extensively after President Trump appointed Mick Mulvaney as interim Director.  Elizabeth Warren declaring the CFPB Director could not be fired by the executive.  The legal battle worked its way to the Supreme Court.

Elon Musk writes ‘noted’ on Boston University worker who threatened his nerd army

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Elon Musk issued an ominous warning to a Boston University worker who threatened his nerd army, writing on X that he’d ‘committed a crime‘ that has been ‘noted’. 

The worker, Jared May, shared a ‘dead or alive’ wanted poster on his Bluesky account, claiming the college-aged men are ‘carrying out a coup’ for the Tesla boss.

The post pictured five of the six men who have been catapulted to MAGA stardom since receiving their appointments. 

May captioned their photos: ‘WANTED FOR TREASON, DEAD OR ALIVE.’

His original post has since been deleted but it didn’t go unnoticed, with a screenshot widely circulating social media.

Ed Martin, the US Attorney for the District of Columbia, vowed on Monday to take legal action against anyone who tries to sabotage the department’s shakeup of the federal government.

He said that his initial review of posts naming and shaming the DOGE workers ‘indicates that certain individuals and/or groups have committed acts that appear to violate the law in targeting DOGE employees.

‘We are in contact with the FBI and other law enforcement partners to proceed rapidly,’ Martin claimed. ‘We also have our prosecutors preparing.’ 

When asked specifically about May’s post, US Attorney Leah B Foley told the Boston Globe, ‘I can tell you we are investigating.

‘We take those threats seriously,’ she said, adding that prosecutors are looking into whether there were any violations of federal law.

Only 294 employees with the United States Agency for International Development have been deemed essential among more than 10,000 global staff members.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has reportedly said that crucial health and humanitarian aid will continue, following threats from Donald Trump and Elon Musk to dissolve the entire agency, but the administration intends to decimate its size, including limiting staff to only 12 people in Africa.

Big Picture Context for USAID Revelations – Are We Being Managed?

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

..The DHS [ultimately IC] control over social media was coming to light as an outcome of the COVID fiasco. Lawsuits in defense of speech were revealing how DHS was influencing and controlling information.  Then came a controlled release within the Twitter Files.

The DHS [ultimately IC] control over elections was coming to light as an outcome of the 2020 vs 2024 vote scale that could no longer reasonably be concealed. Thanks to Trump.

Both system engagements, think of them as essentially datasets, were coming to light as the American people used every questioning mechanism that was available, including courts.

Essentially, We The People were in an unwitting (to most) fight with the IC [CIA], and the IC started losing control of the battlefield.

Opening the door to their USAID/CIA library of prior conduct and then standing back and letting the information flow out of the dark room, can be looked at as yet another controlled release operation for information that was already being discussed and only gaining traction amid the greater awakening.

Is it just a coincidence that both controlled information releases originate from the same source, Elon Musk?

This doesn’t mean that President Trump is some collaborative actor in the enterprise; in fact, I would argue the exact opposite.

Donald Trump is organic. Organic systems need to be managed and controlled.  The assassination effort failed. Immediately thereafter, Musk appeared with support…

Are we being managed? Yes. We are always being managed. KOBK game theory includes the populations being used, exploited or managed. We the plebs are largely powerless but do have influence when a majority of us roughly agree on something. Then we become an economic factor, a factor of power and control. Then we are noticed by the powers that be. The 2020 election was stolen. They could not do it again without being exposed. They tried to kill Trump. Some believe it was staged and maybe it was but I think it was a real attempt. Where Trump stands now is hard to say. They had to let his victory go through. Going forward, we the plebs must learn to roughly agree on important matters without too much fighting. The USAID audit is providing hard data. I think the best we can get from this is agree that we do not want interference in our speech, press, belief systems, etc. It’s possible KOBK powers will allow much more freedom of speech. ABN

Pam Bondi freezes funding for sanctuary cities after swearing in as AG

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday ordered a freeze on federal funding to sanctuary cities after being sworn in to office the same day.

While on campaign, President Donald Trump had vowed to pull funding from cities that refused to cooperate with federal immigration authorities. Since taking office, he has pursued deportation efforts across the nation, including in sanctuary cities such as Chicago.

Bondi’s funding freeze came amid a series of day one orders for the new attorney general, which also included a directive to clamp down on political weaponization within the agency, Fox News reported.

“Thank you, President Trump. I’ve known you for many, many years, and I will not let you down,” she said at her swearing in. “I am truly honored, honored that you have asked me to take on this role, and I will make you proud, and I will make this country proud.”

On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 11:59 pm (EST) all USAID direct hire personnel will be placed on administrative leave globally, with the exception of designated personnel responsible for mission-critical functions, core leadership and specially designated programs. Essential personnel expected to continue working will be informed by Agency leadership by Thursday, February 6, at 3:00pm (EST).

For USAID personnel currently posted outside the United States, the Agency, in coordination with missions and the Department of State, is currently preparing a plan, in accordance with all applicable requirements and laws, under which the Agency would arrange and pay for return travel to the United States within 30 days and provide for the termination of PSC and ISC contracts that are not determined to be essential. The Agency will consider case-by-case exceptions and return travel extensions based on personal or family hardship, mobility or safety concerns, or other reasons. For example, the Agency will consider exceptions based on the timing of dependents’ school term, personal or familial medical needs, pregnancy, and other reasons. Further guidance on how to request an exception will be forthcoming.

Thank you for your service.

FBI agents who weaponized government file lawsuit to conceal their identities

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

Oh, this is rich…. “The lawsuit, which claims violations of First Amendment rights and of the federal Privacy Act, asks to bar the Justice Department from aggregating and disseminating the identities of FBI agents and employees that could tie them to the Jan. 6 and Mar-a-Lago cases.” [Read Full Article]

The ‘rank and vile’ FBI agents decry violations of their “Free Speech” and “Privacy” after those same FBI agents violated U.S. citizen free speech (see “Twitter files”) and privacy (see FISA-702). [Read Their Lawsuit Here]

Seriously, the arrogance, hubris and sentiment of being above all accountability is just too thick. You just cannot make this stuff up.

Yet another Green Energy total failure

~ ABN ~ Leave a comment

In Maine, of all places, large tracts of beautiful forest are being cleared to make ‘solar farms’ (bullshit term). Maine is the worst state in the union for this. When the free tax money is consumed and the companies fail, Mainers will pay for cleanup of the toxic solar panels destroyed by harsh winter weather. The multiple layers of bullshit on this are surreal — Anthropogenic Global Warming (rebranded as climate change), CO2 (the invisible impossible cause), government can save us hype leading to government boondoggle money and sketchy companies while misleading voters, no guarantees except probable failure and zero restitution.
