It Was Russia, Not China? Or It Was China? Or Antifa?
The speech matters less for its facts than for its signal. Hawk reads it as telegraphing that this administration will not accept the results of the midterms, and he puts it alongside the rest of the week: Jay Clayton declining to say who won in 2020, Todd Blanche testifying the president may…
Epstein Survivor Danielle Bensky Just Testified at Todd Blanche's Confirmation Hearing
North Carolina Republican Thom Tillis is now threatening to block the nomination unless Blanche meets personally with survivors within a day or two. The committee splits 11 Republicans to 10 Democrats, so a single Republican no vote stops it from reaching the floor, and Tillis says the earliest…
Stephen Miller Demonstrating How Every Accusation is a Confession
Then come the numbers. A Center for Strategic and International Studies report covering 1994 through 2020 found that right-wing extremists carried out the large majority of domestic terrorist attacks and plots in the United States, roughly two-thirds in 2019 and over 90 percent in early 2020, and…
The Three Words That Should End Todd Blanche's Nomination
Jay Clayton, questioned by Jon Ossoff and then Mark Warner, gets as close as any Trump nominee has to acknowledging 2020, allowing that Biden won the Electoral College and that Congress certified it, while still avoiding the popular vote. Hawk notes the pattern across every nominee for a year and a…
Mahmoud Khalil Just Sued the Heritage Foundation and Six Trump Officials
The defendants include the Heritage Foundation and its employees Victoria Coates and Robert Greenway, Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Markwayne Mullin, Todd Blanche, Kristi Noem, plus Betar and Canary Mission. Khalil's theory traces a line from the Heritage plan known as Project Esther, written after…
The Haitians Who Saved Springfield, Ohio Are About to Lose Everything. And So Will Springfield.
Hawk focuses on Springfield, Ohio, where he grew up nearby, using two newsletters by Jim Swift at the Bulwark. Haitians came to Springfield at the request of the Republican governor and mayor to fill unfilled manufacturing jobs and reverse decades of population decline. They filled factories,…
Is Todd Blanche Simply Stupid or is He Evil? Or Both?
The emails center on Ed Martin Jr., the right-wing lawyer pushed out as acting U.S. Attorney for D.C. and then parked at DOJ headquarters to run the weaponization working group. Blanche wrote "I am frustrated" within a month, set up weekly check-ins, and reassigned investigative lanes to his own…
ICE Suspends Vehicle Stops After Murdering Two Innocent Men in One Week
Hawk connects the killings to the legal warning from his previous video, that murder and assault are state charges a president cannot pardon, and to a Fourth Amendment argument about race-based stops, referencing an MSNBC segment and New York Times writer Mara Gay. He also previews Trump's Thursday…
Get Ready for Trump's Speech Thursday Night to Claim the 2020 Election Was Stolen
Using a Nicolle Wallace MSNBC segment and his copy of Jack Smith's indictment, Hawk revisits the record. Trump was indicted on more than 40 felony counts across two jurisdictions for trying to overturn 2020, lost some 60 lawsuits, and his attorneys and fake electors were later charged. He also…
Todd Blanche is Cooked
At the center is a lawsuit Donald Trump filed against the IRS and the Treasury Department after a contractor leaked his tax information. As Hawk lays out, the suit appears to have been time-barred by a two-year statute of limitations, sought far more than the roughly $10,000 the statute allowed,…
To All ICE and CBP Agents: You Will Be Held Accountable
Hawk walks through the legal reasoning. A presidential pardon reaches only federal offenses, so a future pardon would leave state prosecutions untouched. He points to how murder is charged at the state level, citing the Tyler Robinson case and the prosecution of the man accused of killing…
Lindsey Graham Was Not A Good Man
The Trump arc is the spine of the video. Hawk revisits Graham's 2016 warning that nominating Trump would destroy the party, his endorsement of Jeb Bush, and Trump giving out Graham's cell phone number, then the turn: endorsing Trump, working to overturn the 2020 election Joe Biden won, condemning…
