If Sessions and Horowitz really do have an end game, it’s time to get to it
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)

Hollywood continues its slow death spiral. – Actress Scarlett Johansson became the latest victim in the left’s war on women on Friday, and hardly anyone noticed. Johansson had been cast to play a transgender character in a film tentatively titled “Rub and Tug” which had been lined up to begin filming in 2019. In taking the role, Johansson would have added her name to a long list of heterosexual actors who have played such roles in movies.

But the radical left LGBTQ movement decided to make an example of Johansson, taking to social media to protest the fact that the role had not been awarded to an actual transgender person. The answer why is obvious to any thinking person: Ms. Johansson is a name celebrity whose presence in the film would help ensure it would be profitable. This is not exactly rocket science – it’s how the movie business works.

Without a name actress who would draw crowds to theaters in the role, it is in fact unlikely the movie will even be made. But the activists would rather kill he film than see this extremely leftist actress get the role.

So how far are the activists willing to take this particular principle? Will they demand the recasting of the role of the gay character Cam Tucker in the sitcom “Modern Family,” which has been hilariously played by heterosexual actor Eric Stonestreet since 2009? And will they ultimately, for authenticy’s sake, demand that all hetero roles be played by non-gay actors? If not, why not, other than the obvious answer that it would mean that certain prominent closeted actors would never work again?

While transgender actors complain that they can’t even get auditions to play heterosexual roles, killing film projects like this one seems like a pretty poor way of increasing their chances. In announcing her withdrawal from the role, Ms. Johansson said “According to GLAAD, LGBTQ+ characters dropped 40% in 2017 from the previous year, with no representation of trans characters in any major studio release.” Gosh, I wonder why?

How does Rod Rosenstein still have his job, Part 9,453. – Infamous girlfriend of FBI Super Duper Agent and apparent disciple of Satan Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, was grilled behind closed doors in a deposition by the House Judiciary Committee on Friday. Apparently, she offered up Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein as one of her sacrifices, at least if this tweet from Congressman Mark Meadows is accurate:

Mark Meadows ✔ @RepMarkMeadows Remarkably, we learned new information today suggesting the DOJ had not notified Lisa Page of Congress' outstanding interview requests for over 7 months now. The DOJ/FBI appear to be continuing their efforts to keep material facts, and perhaps even witnesses, from Congress.

5:25 PM - Jul 13, 2018 16.4K 10.5K people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy Back story: On January 4, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes reached an agreement that DOJ and the FBI would provide seven witnesses in the coming weeks to testify before Nunes’ Committee. Of course, Rosenstein also laughably committed in this deal to provide the Intel Committee access to “all” documents relevant to its investigation, a commitment on which the Deputy AG has continued to stonewall.

Well, it turns out that Rosenstein also had no intention of providing the agreed-to witnesses, at least if Meadows’ tweet is accurate. Which is no surprise, given that Rosenstein’s strategy all along has obviously been to keep the congressional investigations at bay until the mid-term elections have come and gone in the hopes that the Democrats will win control of the House, allowing Democrat committee chairmen to kill the investigations entirely. Which they will do, make no mistake about it.

Meanwhile, reports cropped up again on Friday that Meadows and fellow Freedom Caucus leader Jim Jordan are leading an effort to submit impeachment filings on Rosenstein as soon as next week. If such an effort had the buy-in from Speaker Paul Ryan, it would be meaningful, but without Ryan’s support and commitment to whip the vote in its favor, it’s just one more futile gesture by members of the feckless and toothless Republican House majority.

You could see in their body language and facial expressions during their recent testimonies before the House Judiciary Committee that both Rosenstein and Strzok believe they are above the law and completely safe from any punitive action related to their behavior.

There are two competing bodies of thought that would explain these two apparently bad actors’ behavior and attitudes:

- Rosenstein has been working diligently behind the scenes with AG Jeff Sessions and DOJ IG Michael Horowitz to get at the truth – with Strzok as a cooperating witness who has been given immunity – and are planning to unleash hell at the real bad actors once the final Horowitz report becomes public, all with President Trump’s full knowledge and cooperation; or

- Rosenstein and Strzok know that Sessions is hopelessly corrupt or compromised and will never take any action against them, meaning this ongoing farce will just continue for another 2 or 6 years, until a new president can come into office and cover it all up. I have wanted to believe scenario #1 above, and have even bought into it in some instances because it has seemed to make sense. But the longer this all lingers on and the more of Rosenstein’s stonewalling and outright deception become publicly revealed, the less probable that first line of thought appears to become.

The news on Thursday that Strzok still has his FBI security clearances in place two weeks after Sessions publicly claimed they had been revoked doesn’t help much, either.

The bottom line is this: If Sessions, Rosenstein, Horowitz and President Trump truly have been executing some grand Machiavellian scheme to ultimately bring all the Obama-era bad actors to justice, they’d better get to the end game very quickly. Because if you’re in danger of losing people like me, you’re in danger of losing everything.

Just another day in this crap has gone on long enough America.

That is all.

I have a mental image of Uncle Sam in an intensive care bed. Hovering over him with a pillow, looking a lot like Rosenstein, is a character representing the Swamp. Asleep in the visitor’s chair, chin on chest, is Jeff Sessions.

Whatever happened to Attorney General Jeff Sessions hiring Utah’s top federal prosecutor, John Huber, to investigate a cluster of Republican-driven accusations against the FBI in March of 2018. Jeffy also decided that no second special counsel is needed yet..

This really fell off the radar. WHY?

We all know this so it is madness to allow to hm to remain as the de facto AG with all the power. He can do so much damage that he can almost insure the Rats get the House remove this evil prick before it’s too late.

The FBI unit in Little Rock also seems to be in hibernation.

Is that Little Rock team headed by a McCabe fan?

They are now letting Mueller interfere with Trump’s foreign policy. It is getting out of control.

Congress should call Rosenstein in under oath and ask him if Sessions has been compromised, threatened with prosecution by Rosenstein or Mueller.

I want to know yes or no.

But I don’t think Repubs will do anything with mid terms.

You could have snipped out the bit about the LGBTQueers pressuring the straight actress to give up her movie role. It was completely non sequitur to this article.

There’s no rule saying you must excerpt from the top.

The game never started. Sessions recused himself a year and a half ago.

And Sessions has left Rosenstein in charge of stonewalling all Deep State matters.

There is no "Trump, Sessions & Co."

The President has indicated this a multitude of times via Twitter, but Freeqers choose to believe the droppings of an anonymous internet poster instead.

You have to trust Trump. If you don't then you are wasting all your indignation because there is no one else who can do it and you might as well go fishing or to Urugay.Pence is a good Constitutional guy but he can't prevail against these guys. Nor Cruz nor anyone elseout there. If you have watched the Strzok interview you can see that the wishy washy conservatives of last year, Goodlatte, Gowdy, etc have got their heads into this fight. That is part of why Rosie is kept in place.Allayall who just can't stand it because Sessions didn't, upon appointment, immediately start arresting people simply canư't wrap your heads around the idea that these DEEP State guys are what the term sounds like. They have bunkers and walls and an early frontal assault would have failed and would most surely have brought Impeachment and the end of the battle. These guys are all where they are because Donald Trump is not finished with them yet. A recused and derided Sessions is getting tremendous work done without opposition because he is painted as useless and asleep and because Trump says nasty things about him which makes it impossible for the MSM to attack him. He is quietly building cases against the evil ones and making the DoJ into a Department of Justice once again. Rosie and Strzok are looking publicly more and more like the villains they are and making it harder and harder for the MSMLEFT to defend them believably. You just got to trust Donald Trump or you have to make sure to stock your hideout and get a militia going with hard training..

Off the radar is a much better place to do the necessary work. There is bright neon target for the MSMleft to fire at.
