Nunes: GOP Lawmakers Expanding Investigation Into Special Counsel Operation, "We Will Be Making Criminal Referrals of the Mueller Team" (VIDEO)
[GatewayPundit]

"We've also expanded our investigation into the Mueller team and everything that happened with Mueller and the people at DOJ and FBI that were above Mueller. And so, we will be making criminal referrals in the coming weeks against the Mueller team. We're just now putting that together and, of course, as always, waiting on more documents that we really need to come out," Nunes told Fox News host Gregg Jarrett Sunday evening.

Nunes argued that Mueller should have immediately shut down his operation because he knew the dossier had been debunked by the FBI and that there was no coordination between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin.

Rep. Nunes previously made 8 criminal referrals to the DOJ alleging ’potential violations’ of the law related to the Trump-Russia investigation.

US Attorney General Bill Barr then appointed US Attorney from Connecticut John Durham to investigate the origins of Spygate.
When they get marched I'll believe it, but with Barr. Not going to happen.

Whitmer says she self-censors comments about Trump to continue receiving federal funds

#2  Hubby (I was surprised to find out she has one) ran the "Do you know who I'm married to?" game to try to get his pleasure boat moved while it's illegal for everyone else to take their boats out. What a winner.

#5  Whittier (sic) has said some of the protesters had “nooses and swastikas,” along with guns, as they screamed, “Lock her up!”

I have seen ZERO pix of "nooses and swastikas" at that protest, which is curious since one would expect that to be front page news. This the first time I've heard any mention of "Lock her up!", but if it gets repeated enough, it will all become true. That's how facts work nowadays.

To be fair, for Memorial Day, Whitmer has walked back some of her sillier orders, like the no power boating edict. This left boat and dock service companies with a huge backlog of work they normally would have started weeks ago.

#6  Probably from the same people who spat and shouted the N-word when Nancy and the democrats walked across the street years ago.
You know, the magical ones who cannot be video taped or recorded - kind of like a Vampire cannot be seen in a mirror.
Did't Bretbart put up a 100K bounty for a legitimate video recording of the spitting-N-word event? No takers.

#7  Did you see Whitmer's sign language interpreter? That is an entire state's worth of virtue signalling wrapped in one nutty package. Tax payer funded, of course.

U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar Wins DFL Endorsement In Reelection Bid
[RADIOSHABELLE] First-term U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar
...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...
won the DFL endorsement Sunday to run in the Aug. 11 primary election for a Minneapolis-based congressional seat that has been in Democrats’ hands since 1963.

The party endorsement sets up a primary race with Antone Melton-Meaux, an attorney-mediator and political newcomer whose campaign has been based on a series of critiques of Omar’s stormy first 16-months in Congress.

The DFL balloting was conducted online over a nine-day period after the pandemic made in-person congressional conventions impossible.

Omar, 37, was first elected to Congress in 2018 after a rapid rise through the state Legislature. She was the first Somali-American elected to both a state Legislature and to Congress. She has cut a high-profile path in Washington, championing a litany of progressive causes and publicly sparring on Twitter with President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
, which has made her a frequent target of the right.

Omar also faced criticism last year from Jewish leaders and some fellow Democrats for several past tweets and remarks about the political influence of Israel. She faced another significant uproar for voting "present" on last year’s House resolution condemning the Armenian genocide. She said the measure should have more broadly condemned human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
abuses worldwide, including in the U.S.

Her campaign operation also has been the subject of scrutiny after it was revealed that she had a romantic relationship with a D.C.-based political consultant, to whom she is now married.

Both Omar and Melton-Meaux are running as progressive Democrats and champions of immigrant rights. But Melton-Meaux, 47, has vowed to focus more on the needs of the Fifth Congressional District, which includes St. Louis Park, Richfield, Crystal, Robbinsdale, Golden Valley, New Hope, Fridley a part of Edina.

Congressional incumbents rarely lose party backing for endorsement, and Melton-Meaux earlier committed to running in the DFL primary in August in the event he fails to get the endorsement. He has racked up a handful of high-profile endorsements from Minneapolis-area DFLers, and has had some success in fundraising.

The Republican-endorsed candidate is Lacy Johnson, a north Minneapolis businessman who has encouraged black voters to abandon the Democratic Party. But the strongly DFL district has not elected a Republican to Congress in decades.

DFLers in northeastern Minnesota’s Eighth Congressional District also voted to endorse health care advocate Quinn Nystrom to challenge Republican incumbent U.S. Rep. Pete Stauber in November.
