Government Corruption
Upstate NY DA refuses to stop for speeding, drives back home and calls police chief to complain: video
[NY Post] Entitled Asshole Status™ Confirmed. Fire her An upstate New York district attorney refused to stop for cops when she was caught speeding — and instead drove back her house and called the police chief to complain about the "a—hole" officer who pursued her home, bodycam footage shows.

Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley admitted that she was driving 55 mph in a 35 mph zone on Monday on Phillips Road in Webster — less than half a mile from her neighborhood, WHAM reported.

"Once I realized that the intention of the [police car] was to pull me over, I called the Webster Police Chief to inform him that I was not a threat and that I would speak to the Officer at my house down the street," she said in a statement.

The officer followed her to her home and issued Doorley a ticket, which she accepted. The DA pleaded guilty in municipal court on Tuesday "because I believe in accepting responsibility for my actions and had no intention of using my position to receive a benefit," she said.

However, bodycam footage released by the Webster Police Department on Friday shows the tense exchange between Doorley and the officer in her driveway, in which the district attorney appears to have been doing just that.

When the cop tells her she was doing 55 in a 35, she tells him "I don’t really care," clearly irritated.

She gets on the phone and calls Webster Chief of Police Dennis Kohlmeier and asks him "can you please tell them to leave me alone?"

Doorley refuses to step outside her garage to speak with officers. She dismissively hands the cop the phone to speak with the chief and tells him "just go away." The officer can be heard explaining what happened on the phone.

She then storms inside the house against the officer’s orders.

He explains that he’s trying to conduct a traffic stop, and she shoots back "I know the law better than you," footage shows.

"What is it your so against me? I’m doing my job. You say you’re a DA?" the cop asks at one point.

"I am THE DA," she emphatically snaps back, and fetches her badge out of her car as she calls him an "a—hole."

At one point the officer asks her why she was going so fast she responded that she "didn’t feel like stopping on Phillips Road at 5:30," to which the officer responded, "That’s not your choice; you know that."

"What do you want us to do, not do our jobs because it’s you?" the officer then asks Doorley.

She tells him to just write her the ticket, but he reminds her she refused to stop.

"That’s not a traffic ticket; that’s an arrestable offense, Sandra. You know this," the cop says.

In another clip, Doorley can be heard saying, "I’ve had a really bad day; I’ve been dealing with murders in the city," and then apologizes.

In a statement after the footage was released provided to WHAM, Doorley said "nobody, including your District Attorney, is above the rule of law, even traffic laws.

"Anybody who knows me understands without a doubt that I have dedicated my entire 33 year career to the safety of this community," she continued. "My work to ensure the safety and respect of law enforcement is well proven time and time again. I stand by my work and stand by my commitment to the public safety of Monroe County."

Federal Agents Drag J6 Political Prisoner Ryan Samsel To The Hole and Isolation Immediately After The Gateway Pundit Releases Ray Epps' FBI Call to the American Public
[Gateway] After the release of this incriminating audio, federal agents raided J6 political prisoner Ryan Samsel’s jail cell and dragged him to solitary confinement in the hole of the Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn on Thursday night.

Earlier today, Alicia Powe at The Gateway Pundit exposed J6 insurrection leader Ray Epps lying to the FBI in a leaked interview to The Gateway Pundit.

Epps repeatedly lied to authorities saying he was listening to President Trump’s speech at the Ellipse when there is numerous video clips proving Epps was not being truthful.

Ray Epps was directing Trump supporters to the US Capitol for hours before the protests on Capitol Hill. Epps later was one of the leading protesters who broke through the first and second set of barriers going to the US Capitol.

#1  This J6 stuff cries out for a Special Counsel and full investigation.

#2  ^. You’re kidding me.
There is NO council in America that has the guts to investigate J6. You just have no clue.

DOJ's refusal to turn over Hur tapes to Congress sets up a contempt fight
[Just The News] The Department of Justice’s decision this week to refuse to turn over the audio tapes of President Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur could set up a new fight between the administration and Congress.

The refusal marks the second time the DOJ has declined to provide the audio tapes to Congress, though it has turned over the transcripts of the interview.

Give it a few weeks,
The DOJ needs Biden to have a "Good day".
Then they can re-record the interview with the "proper" narrative.

Another State Dept official resigns over US's Gaza policy
[GEO.TV] United States State Department’s spokesperson for the Middle East and North Africa, Hala Rharrit, has resigned in protest of America’s policy on
Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
— at least the third high-profile resignation from the department, as pro-Paleostinian demonstrations at university campuses across the country grow.
Great idea to deny State your undeniably valuable knowledge and services. More should punish Genocide Joe’s government that way.
Rharrit was also the Dubai Regional Media Hub’s deputy director and joined the State Department almost two decades ago as a political and human rights officer, the department’s website showed.

"I resigned in April 2024 after 18 years of distinguished service in opposition to the United States’ Gaza policy," Hala Rharrit wrote in a LinkedIn post, according to Al Arabiya.

"Diplomacy, not arms. Be a force for peace and unity," she added.
