JUDICIARY: No President Is Above The Law Act - Featuring George Bush & Bill Clinton

I wonder what George Bush has to say about this?

I know Bill Clinton is already not very pleased with me.

Chairman Nadler Statement for the Markup of H.R. 2678, the No President is Above the Law Act

Washington, D.C. –Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) delivered the following opening remarks, as prepared, during the markup of H.R. 2678, the No President is Above the Law Act:

"The two bills we are considering today center around the same basic theme: presidential accountability. When the nation’s founders wrote the Constitution, after having just fought a war against a tyrant, they stood fast to a key principle—that the Executive must not be a king and must, instead, be accountable to Congress, to the people, and ultimately, to the rule of law.

"H.R. 2678, the 'No President is Above the Law Act,' reaffirms that important principle.

"This legislation, which I introduced along with Representatives Swalwell and Deutch, would suspend the statute of limitations for any federal offense committed by a sitting president, whether it was committed before or during the president’s term of office.

"This bill is necessary in order to close a dangerous loophole in the law created by Department of Justice policy—most recently embodied in a legal opinion by the Office of Legal Counsel—which holds that a president may not be criminally prosecuted during his or her term in office.

"Under current law, throughout the entire period that a president is presumed by some to be immune from prosecution, the statute of limitations continues to run on any offenses they may have committed.

"Since most federal criminal offenses carry a five-year statute of limitations, a president who is not prosecuted while in office for a crime they may have committed could end up evading justice altogether if the statute of limitations runs out before their term is over, particularly if they are elected to a second term.

"Allowing complete immunity from criminal prosecution merely because of the office a person holds would make a mockery of the rule of law.

"Statutes of limitations are an important element of criminal law. As a general matter, they provide a necessary balance between protecting defendants from delay and allowing prosecutors adequate time to investigate and charge cases. They ensure that the possibility of a criminal prosecution does not hang over a defendant’s head forever and they encourage prosecutors to bring charges while evidence is fresh.

"But the law has also long recognized that certain limited exceptions to this general rule are necessary, such as when the commission of a crime has been concealed or a defendant has fled or is unavailable. The case of a sitting president, whose prosecution is barred under Justice Department policy—no matter how strong the evidence may be—fits comfortably among such exceptions.

"I would note that even if the OLC opinion is reversed, there may be many practical difficulties in bringing an indictment against a president who is still in office. It is necessary, therefore, to simply pause the statute of limitations so that the president—any president—can be held to account for his or her actions and to ensure that the presidency is not a get-out-of-jail free card.

"I want to thank Mr. Swalwell and Mr. Deutch for their work in helping to craft this legislation. The 'No President Is Above the Law Act' would ensure that every person—no matter his or her title or office—is held accountable under our laws.

"I urge all Members to support this legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time."

Prelude To Detroit: JUDICIARY: Full Committee Hearing on Oversight of the Department of Justice

The "Legal Geniuses" (trademark pending) still have yet to figure it out.

Voting is beautiful, be beautiful ~ vote.©

JUDICIARY: Hearing On Jobs, Justice & Peace - Without Once Saying His Name

The Committee addressed qualified immunity by resurrecting the Second Amendment of the right to keep and bear the arms of the United States and the respective States which issues the licenses.

With great discernment, the Committee amazingly addressed the legacy of Conyers, without once saying his name, or the fact that he, as Chairman Emeritus of Judiciary, was denied due process, assassinated by blasphemy.

Absolutely amazing to witness the soulless execute such a bipartisan task.

Nessel calls for public database of Michigan's problem police officers

Detroit Police Chief James Craig speaks after officer Waldis Johnson's funeral Detroit Free Press

LANSING – The public could access a statewide database of problem police officers under a set of reforms put forward Tuesday by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel.

Nessel said in a news release she wants the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards to create a police misconduct registry of verified claims of abuse or other misconduct made against police officers in Michigan.


The proposed registry is part of a seven-point plan Nessel released amid nationwide discussions about police reform in the wake of the Memorial Day death of George Floyd, a Black man who died during an arrest by Minneapolis police.

Frank Guido, general counsel for the Police Officers Association of Michigan — a union representing more than 12,000 officers in more than 300 local police and sheriff departments — said he is OK with some of Nessel's proposals, two of which he said are already in place, but he has concerns with others.


As for the public database, how would misconduct be defined? Guido asked. Also, "is this a requirement that is appropriate for all government employees?" or would only police officers be singled out, he asked.

The Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards sets professional standards in education, selection, employment, licensing and funding in law enforcement and criminal justice in Michigan. Last week, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced she was adding four seats to the commission — which has been dominated by law enforcement representatives — to give it a greater community voice.


Nessel said that in 2016 the commission began requiring that law enforcement officers be licensed. But she said the commission "lacks sufficient authority to oversee law enforcement professionals and to revoke the licenses of police officers who demonstrate poor moral character or violate the public trust."

More: Michigan State Police graduates another school of troopers — with only 4 Black recruits

More: Whitmer: Require police to intervene if they see officers use excessive force

The measures she announced Tuesday are "the first step toward implementing positive change in our criminal justice system," Nessel said.

In addition to the database, Nessel called for:

Amending the Public Employee Benefits Forfeiture Act so that officers forfeit their retirement benefits upon conviction of a felony related to misconduct while on duty. 
Authorizing the commission to suspend or revoke a license when an officer engages in certain misconduct.
Requiring police agencies to maintain all disciplinary records of a police officers in their personnel files.
Requiring police agencies to report use of force data, with information about the civilians' race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion and age.
Creating an independent investigative and prosecutorial process for deaths resulting from police actions.
Requiring continuing education for officers as a condition of licensing and improving and standardizing policies and training related to conflict de-escalation, cultural awareness, and implicit bias.
The public registry of problem officers would be a departure for Michigan. Until 2018, when Public Act 128 of 2017 took effect, even Michigan police agencies often could not review the circumstances under which police officers seeking employment left their previous departments. That had led to an issue with problem officers moving from one police agency to another, without their records following them.

“We must do more than just condemn bigotry and acts of excessive force committed by law enforcement officers. We must act,” Nessel said.

"Making meaningful and concrete changes doesn’t end here, but it’s crucial that we move first with measures which create better accountability and more transparency to the actions of law enforcement here in Michigan."

Guido said no officer should forfeit pension money they have contributed or earned for past service.

He also expressed concern about the proposed license suspensions. Guido wondered who would make such determinations and what due process protections would be in place.

"The concepts are far too broad," he said. "Not much job security for a law enforcement officer if every move is subject to someone claiming, after the fact, it was detrimental to the department — and now you lose your job because of knee-jerk reactions."

Maintenance of disciplinary records already occurs, as do independent investigations, and additional training is always welcome as long as the government funds it, Guido said.

"Reporting data is not objectionable as long as sufficient funds are provided out of the AG budget for personnel to do record-keeping," Guido said. "Also, the data should include information concerning the individuals that attack law enforcement."

In an executive order Tuesday, President Donald Trump called for creation of a national database of problem officers to track potential police hires with records of abuse. But unlike the registry proposed by Nessel, Trump's database would not be accessible to the public. Instead, data from the national database would be made anonymous and periodically made public, according to the order.


Until Whitmer's recent executive order, the Commission on Law Enforcement Standards had 19 members. The AG, the director of the Michigan State Police and the chief of police in Detroit are all members. The other 16 members are appointed by the governor, based on recommendations from various law enforcement groups, such as the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police.

Whitmer's order adds as members the director of the Michigan Department of Civil Rights and three community representatives.

Judiciary Committee Dems hit with ethics complaints over ‘suspicious’ conduct

EXCLUSIVE: Three Democratic members of the House Judiciary Committee were hit with ethics complaints Wednesday, connected to a slew of alleged violations related to campaign fundraising.

Nonprofit watchdog group Americans for Public Trust filed complaints with the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) against Reps. Madeleine Dean, D-Pa., Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., and Lucy McBath, D-Ga., calling for investigations of possible violations of House rules and federal law. The organization, founded by former National Republican Congressional Committee research director Caitlin Sutherland, also filed complaints against Dean and McBath with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).

“All three of these members have engaged in disturbing activities that appear to us to be violations of federal law and House rules. This is especially alarming given all three sit on the prestigious House Judiciary Committee, which has direct oversight responsibilities over the U.S. Department of Justice and, by extension, the nation’s law enforcement,” said Adam Laxalt, former Nevada attorney general and outside counsel to Americans for Public Trust. "We’re calling on the Federal Election Commission and the Office of Congressional Ethics to immediately investigate these suspicious activities.”

Fox News reached out to the offices of all three congresswomen for comment, but they did not immediately respond.

The complaints against Dean claim that after she suspended her campaign for lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, she used campaign funds from that race to go toward the congressional campaign she launched soon afterward. The complaints allege that this violated federal law — and by extension, House rules  because campaigns for federal office must only use funds that were subject to the FEC. The complaints state that these expenditures continued after Dean was elected to Congress, and totaled more than $17,000.

The OCE complaint against Jayapal describes allegations that the Washington Democrat violated a House rule that prohibits members of Congress from soliciting campaign or political contributions that are "linked with an official action taken or to be taken by a House member." The complaint also notes that federal law prohibits House members from requesting money or other things of value connected with performing an official duty.

The complaint points to tweets from Jayapal related to the "Medicare-for-all" bill that she sponsored, in which she referenced or linked to a C-SPAN broadcast of a House hearing related to the bill while soliciting campaign contributions to keep “momentum going” for the bill. The complaint also alleges that by doing this, Jayapal violated a House rule against using broadcast coverage of official House business for political purposes.

The complaints against McBath are connected to money her campaign received from the advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety. McBath had been employed by Everytown prior to launching her congressional campaign in March 2018, and the complaint states that she remained employed there for roughly two more months. During that time, she appeared on television as both a candidate and a spokesperson for Everytown.

The complaints also allege that McBath received money from Everytown for her campaign during that time, even though Everytown reported in an FEC filing that they first began contributing to McBath's campaign on April 25, 2018.

"However, Everytown began spending in the election for Georgia’s 6th Congressional District while Representative McBath was still serving as the group’s national spokesperson," the OCE complaint says. "It is not publicly known what level of involvement Representative McBath had in Everytown’s expenditures against her eventual general election opponent while she was still employed by Everytown."

The House Judiciary Committee played a central role in the recently concluded impeachment inquiry — and eventual trial — of President Trump regarding his pressure campaign against Ukraine. The three Democrats flagged in the ethics complaints voted for the articles of impeachment as they were prepared for the floor.

The president was acquitted last week on accusations of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, in a largely party-line Senate vote.

JUDICIARY: Chairman Nadler Announces House Judiciary Investigation into Trump Administration's "Remain in Mexico" Policy By Failing To Address The Industry Of Trafficking Tiny Humans Called Foster Care & Adoption

On the one-year anniversary of the introduction of the Keep Families Together Act, the House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship announced that it will be investigating the Administration's implementation of the "Remain in Mexico" immigration policy

Washington, D.C. – Today, House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY), along with Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship Chair Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and Subcommittee Members Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), Veronica Escobar (D-TX), Sylvia Garcia (D-TX), Joe Neguse (D-CO), Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D-FL), and Lou Correa (D-CA), announced the start of an investigation into how the Administration’s "zero tolerance" immigration policy has morphed into a policy whereby refugees and asylum seekers are being kept in Mexico indefinitely and without due process or access to counsel. That is because the children are placed under foreign corporations like Bethany Christian to be processed through foster care to be fast tracked through adoption, which means they have legal counsel. The announcement comes on the one-year anniversary of the introduction of the Keep Families Together Act, which came in response to the Trump Administration’s family separation policy that led to over five thousand children being separated from their families upon entry into the United States....and placed in Foster Care. The letter, sent to Acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Chad Wolf, demands the Department turn over any information regarding the development and execution of the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), also known as the "Remain in Mexico" policy, a.k.a. Foster Care which threatens the health and safety of legitimate asylum seekers—including women, children, and families.

In their letter, the Members wrote, "The policy has nearly eliminated the already scarce due process protections available to asylum-seekers—such as access to counsel—further reducing the likelihood that legitimate asylum-seekers can obtain asylum.... which is called Adoption.  Moreover, MPP forces women, children, and families to remain in areas that the federal government recognizes as especially unsafe....where christian child welfare NGOs are providing relief like Catholic Charities.  As of today, there are 31 active travel advisories for Mexico, including 5 warnings in which the State Department explicitly advises Americans against travel....because the people are tired of their kid being snatched and sold through Foster Care and Adoption.   It is difficult to understand why this administration is sending children and families to areas where they will face certain harm." It is difficult to understand because the Committee ha no clue that Foster Care and Adoption is the residual of the peculiar institution of trafficking tiny humans multi-trillion dollar industry.

Where is HHS?

JUDICIARY: Chairman Nadler Announces the Introduction of Articles of Impeachment Against President Donald J. Trump

If you replace "Trump" with "Clinton" then replace 2020 with 2016, you will enjoy the articles, much better.

Washington, D.C. –Today, Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and the House Judiciary Committee introduced two articles of impeachment against President Donald J. Trump for Abuse of Power and Obstruction of Congress. The articles can be found here.

"The President abused his power by pressuring Ukraine to help his re-election campaign. For members of Congress this is not a question of fact, because the facts are not seriously contested. It is rather a question of duty. The President’s oath of office appears to mean little to him. But the articles put forward today will give us a chance to show that we will defend the constitution, and that our oath means something to us," said Chairman of the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Adam Schiff (D-CA).

"The facts are uncontested that the President abused his office and threatened our national security to cheat in the 2020 election—then he obstructed Congress’s exercise of its constitutional impeachment powers. It’s regrettable that the President’s own actions have brought us to this point, and I strongly support Chairman Nadler and my Judiciary Committee colleagues as we take these next solemn steps," said Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs Eliot Engel (D-NY).

"We are fulfilling our constitutional duty to hold the president accountable for abusing public office and misusing public funds for his personal, political gain," said Chairwoman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY).

Below are Chairman Nadler's remarks announcing the introduction of articles of impeachment:

"Over the last several months, the investigative committees of the House have been engaged in an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump’s efforts to solicit foreign interference in the 2020 elections—efforts that compromised our national security and threatened the integrity of our elections.  Throughout this inquiry, he has attempted to conceal the evidence from Congress and the American people.

"Our President holds the ultimate public trust.  When he betrays that trust, and puts himself before country, he endangers the Constitution, he endangers our democracy and he endangers our national security.  The Framers prescribed a clear remedy for Presidents who violate their Oath of Office.  That is the power of impeachment.

"Today, in service to our duty to the Constitution and to our country, the House Committee on the Judiciary is introducing two articles of impeachment charging the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, with committing high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

"The first article is for Abuse of Power.  It is an impeachable offense for the President to exercise the powers of his public office to obtain an improper personal benefit, while ignoring or injuring the national interest.

"That is exactly what President Trump did when he solicited and pressured Ukraine to interfere in our 2020 Presidential Election—thus damaging our national security, undermining the integrity of the next election, and violating his oath to the American people.  These actions, moreover, were consistent with President Trump’s previous invitations of foreign interference in our 2016 Presidential election.

"And when he was caught—when the House investigated and opened an impeachment inquiry—President Trump engaged in unprecedented, categorical, and indiscriminate defiance of the impeachment inquiry.

"This gives rise to the second article of impeachment for Obstruction of Congress.  Here, too, we see a familiar pattern in President Trump’s misconduct.  A President who declares himself above accountability, above the American people, and above Congress’s power of impeachment—which is meant to protect against threats to our democratic institutions—is a President who sees himself as above the law.

"We must be clear: no one, not even the President, is above the law.

"I want to recognize the great contributions of the investigative chairs, particularly Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, Foreign Affairs Chairman Eliot Engel, the Committee on Oversight and Reform’s former Chairman, the late Elijah Cummings, and its new Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney, Financial Services Chairwoman Maxine Waters, and Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal, who helped lay the foundation for the articles we are introducing today.  I also want to thank my Judiciary Committee colleagues, who were critical in our work to hold the President accountable and in the drafting of these articles.

"Later this week, the Judiciary Committee will meet to consider these articles of impeachment, and to make a recommendation to the full House of Representatives.  We do not take this action lightly.  But we have taken an oath to defend the Constitution and—unlike President Trump—we understand that our duty, first and foremost, is to protect the Constitution and the interests of the American people.  That is why we must take this solemn step today.

"Elections are the cornerstone of democracy and are foundational to the rule of law.  But the integrity of our next election is at risk from a President who has already sought foreign interference in the 2016 and 2020 elections, and who consistently puts himself above country.  That is why we must act now."

Collins to Nadler: Make witness lineup fair and credible

“The Committee must ensure it maintains its credibility and its historically preeminent role in the impeachment of presidents by not rushing to articles of impeachment or hearing only from scholars with demonstrated animosity towards the President. Throughout this hurried and partisan impeachment process, I have consistently requested mere fairness from members of the majority. An equal distribution of experts for the December 4 hearing would be a small concession to demonstrate to the American people this impeachment inquiry is not merely political theater.”

JUDICIARY: The Administration of Bail by State and Federal Courts: A Call for Reform - Watch The Cluelessness When It Comes To The Child Welfare System

Karen Bass needs to be called to bear witness because she was a co-founder of the Congressional Foster Care Caucus, which has done absolutely nothing except for putting on fun little photo op campaigns to cover up the trafficking of tiny humans.

https://fosteryouthcaucus-karenbass.house.gov/

She knows what goes on in Foster Care because she is the spokestoken for the Foster Care Committee and, for a hot second, lead the charge of the Congressional Black Caucus, which runs the system by championing the chattel ranching property ownership labels of "black & brown", or rather what the latest segregationists like to call targeted populations.

Not once has she ever reached out to me, which is an automatic indicator of a willing participant of stealin' the children, land and votes.

And, if she has the audacity to make a public disclaimer that she does not know who I am, well, then I believe we have validation that she is one of the "Elected Ones".

I will allow Karen to respond to my statement.

Of course, I make no bones in displaying my disdain for the dumb ass gentlelady, for she is only one of the "Elected Ones".

The Caucus has a server, you know.

It is absolutely amazing how Shelton McElroy states that his mother was 14 when her rights were terminated and the only reaction was the "Legal Genius" (trademark pending) giving a proverbial thumbs up to the credibility of their distracting from the child welfare system.

Cicillini wants a judicial rubrik for judgement, yet, has no clue of the child welfare system, with the committee making no comment on the juvenile system, the criminalization of children or the predictive modeling crap that goes along with the dumb pretrial detention programs.

The commercial bail system is chattel ranching where chick touted how her family survived taking in foster kids

Another no money no justice moment where if you cannot afford bail you cannot afford an attorney and if you can mustard the money for representation, it will not be adequate, with absolutely no mention of Guardians ad Litem, who are not licensed attorneys, nor CASA volunteers, who are not even sworn civilian officers of the courts.

Not one mention of Child Protective Services.

What happens when the parents go to jail for an inability to secure a bail bond?

The kids go to foster care, but the Committee did not seem to find that to be a subject of interest.

What was of interest to me was that Mary Smith, who has a family bail bonds business, started out as foster parents.

You can do the math by calculating the number of foster children times the monthly foster care payments, and possible adoption tax incentives, but hey, what do I know?

I know the committee addressed nothing about trafficking tiny humans, but for this particular hearing, it is juvenile justice and the billions to be made in the private sector of chattel law.

JUDICIARY: Hearing On Immigration Policies Without One Mention Of Parental Rights - Introductions To Honor Conyers

Not one single mention of child welfare.

Not one mention of christian NGOs setting up shop south of the border, to save the savages for the purposes of sending then to the States, particularly Michigan because Bethany Christian got the contracts, but Customs and Border Patrol did.

Not one single mention of parental rights and citizenship process was made.

Instead, blame was placed upon ICE, which was poorly created in the first place, as a human transfer agency for foreign, private contractors who like to maximize revenues by and through trafficking tiny humans in foster care and adoption.

My heart goes out to the officers and staff of ICE, as they are only following the rule of law because the Congress refuses to talk about modern day human trafficking.

Why does Judiciary fail to acknowledge that indentured servitude, a fancy name for foster care, and slavery, another component in the law of chattels?

Because it is campaign season and that is how they fund their campaigns.

Nadler, Collins, Raskin and Lufgren were kind enough to drop a sound byte on The Death of Conyers, because it is campaign finance season, you know.

Dear Colleague on Next Steps in House's Ongoing Impeachment Inquiry

OCTOBER 28, 2019 PRESS RELEASE

H. Res. ___ — Directing certain committees to continue their ongoing investigations as part of the existing House of Representatives inquiry into whether sufficient grounds exist for the House of Representatives to exercise its Constitutional power to impeach Donald John Trump, President of the United States of America, and for other purposes.

***

Dear Democratic Colleague,

For weeks, the President, his Counsel in the White House, and his allies in Congress have made the baseless claim that the House of Representatives’ impeachment inquiry “lacks the necessary authorization for a valid impeachment proceeding.”  They argue that, because the House has not taken a vote, they may simply pretend the impeachment inquiry does not exist.

Of course, this argument has no merit.  The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives “shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.”  Multiple past impeachments have gone forward without any authorizing resolutions.  Just last week, a federal court confirmed that the House is not required to hold a vote and that imposing such a requirement would be “an impermissible intrusion on the House’s constitutional authority.”  More than 300 legal scholars have also refuted this argument, concluding that “the Constitution does not mandate the process for impeachment and there is no constitutional requirement that the House of Representatives authorize an impeachment inquiry before one begins.”

The Trump Administration has made up this argument – apparently out of whole cloth – in order to justify its unprecedented cover-up, withhold key documents from multiple federal agencies, prevent critical witnesses from cooperating, and defy duly authorized subpoenas.

This week, we will bring a resolution to the Floor that affirms the ongoing, existing investigation that is currently being conducted by our committees as part of this impeachment inquiry, including all requests for documents, subpoenas for records and testimony, and any other investigative steps previously taken or to be taken as part of this investigation. 

This resolution establishes the procedure for hearings that are open to the American people, authorizes the disclosure of deposition transcripts, outlines procedures to transfer evidence to the Judiciary Committee as it considers potential articles of impeachment, and sets forth due process rights for the President and his Counsel.

We are taking this step to eliminate any doubt as to whether the Trump Administration may withhold documents, prevent witness testimony, disregard duly authorized subpoenas, or continue obstructing the House of Representatives. 

Nobody is above the law.

best regards,
