New President of El Salvador requests AG to investigate everyone in the Executive Branch


Translated from Spanish by Google
It is not the first, and it will not be the last.

If God allows it, our war against corruption will be as successful as our war against gangs.

Translated from Spanish by Google
The @FGR_SV has ordered the capture of Presidential Commissioner Christian Herson Flores Sandoval, for the crime of Improper Bribery as the Direct Author.

The investigations show that Flores, using his position as Presidential Commissioner, demanded money from people and companies in exchange for benefits and preferential participation in the government's strategic projects.

This is just the beginning of an extensive investigation, to deduce responsibilities and other corruption crimes.

Flores will be presented to the corresponding courts, so that he can be processed and answer to the laws.

The @FGR_SV will continue steadfast in the fight against corruption.

Government Corruption
Trump Prosecutor Pomerantz repeatedly pleads the 5th when asked if he broke the law investigating Trump!
Is there any question whether the Trump Court cases are nothing more than Political Kangaroo Court Prosecutions?

DA Gascon's Top Adviser Charged with 11 Felonies
[HOTAIR] Her name is Diana Teran and until recently her title was Assistant District Attorney of Ethics and Integrity Operations. What this meant in practice was that ADA Teran was in charge of overseeing cases against coppers. If you know anything about DA George Gascon then you already know that he campaigned on criminal justice reform including bringing charges against more cops. But last week Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Attorney General Rob Bonta charged ADA Teran with 11 felonies. She is accused of illegally accessing personnel records on 11 different police deputies.

California’s attorney general filed criminal charges Wednesday against one of L.A. County Dist. Atty. George Gascón’s top advisors, who supervises high-profile and sensitive cases including police misconduct, fraud and public corruption.

Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta announced the 11 felony counts against Assistant Dist. Atty. Diana Teran in a press statement. He accused her of improperly downloading confidential records of law enforcement officers in 2018 while she was working for the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Teran then "impermissibly used that data" after joining Gascón’s office three years later, Bonta said.

The confidential records concern 11 sheriff’s deputies, according to a criminal complaint filed in L.A. County Superior Court. The deputies’ names were not included in the court filing.

#2  Bonta is a Dem Political Hack. I'm guessing this was gonna blow up anyway and he and Newsom just decided to get ahead of it. She'll plea deal for no jail time and a minor fine

Kristen Clarke Allegedly Knifed Her Ex And Lied About It ‐ But It's Not The Worst Thing She's Done
[Federalist] According to The Daily Signal, there is a strong indication that Kristen Clarke, who now leads the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, lied during her confirmation process in 2021. In written questions, Sen. Tom Cotton had asked Clarke: "Since becoming a legal adult, have you ever been arrested for or accused of committing a violent crime against any person." Her answer was "No."

Clarke, who was arrested in July 2006, allegedly attacked her husband with a knife, "deeply slicing his finger to the bone." Her pedantic argument is that her record was expunged. But the incident meets all the criteria of being "accused" of a "violent crime."

Listen, we have no clue how the knife incident went down. It’s a personal matter. Clarke says it happened after years of domestic abuse. Maybe her then-husband had it coming. Maybe not. She still lied to the Senate. And it’s not the only thing she lied about.

Clarke, recall, was ahead of the curve in spreading the racist pseudoscientific quackery that has popularized on modern campuses. As president of the Black Student Association at Harvard in the 1990s, she authored a wild letter to the Crimson, arguing that the structure of the black person’s brain made them superior to other races. Chemicals in the brain, Clarke went on, imbued the black race with "superior physical and mental abilities" and "spiritual abilities," and "[m]elanin endows Blacks with greater mental, physical and spiritual abilities — something which cannot be measured based on Eurocentric standards."

For context, Farrakhanites were gaining entry into the academic world in the late 1980s and 1990s. A few years earlier, Harvard’s Black Students Association had invited Leonard Jeffries, a proponent of the same melanin theory Clarke claimed was satire, to speak. Jeffries’ big addition to public discourse was theorizing that the Mafia and American Jews — "dogs" and "skunks" — had a secret cabal to destroy black Americans.

(Leonard, by the way, is the uncle of Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. The nephew is, of course, not responsible for the uncle’s sins — even if the nephew happened to defend his uncle and Nation of Islam grand poobah Louis Farrakhan when he was in college. No doubt, the skills he learned would come in handy defending Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib.)

In any event, many of us flirt with stupid ideas in our youth. Instead of admitting to a youthful dalliance with phrenology, Clarke claimed the letter had been a parody mocking the controversial book The Bell Curve. The left-wing media, naturally, repeated this contention as fact even though there was zero evidence the letter was anything but earnest. No contemporaneous account calls it satire, and the Harvard editors who called her out for bigotry didn’t view it as such.

Indeed, only a month after writing the letter — by sheer happenstance — Clarke invited a Holocaust-denying fraud named Anthony Martin, then a professor at Wellesley College, to speak on campus. Martin argued the ancient Greeks had stolen culture from African blacks and that Jews were predominately at fault for the American slave trade, among other fictions. Clarke called Martin, the author of a book titled The Jewish Onslaught, an "intelligent, well-versed Black intellectual who bases his information on indisputable fact."

#5  Used to be that if you bounced a check, you could lose your security clearance. The change in standards was first noticeable to me with Brenna’s background. I think we started into the ditch during the Clinton years. Maybe it was earlier.
