A Woman the Dems Just Elected Has a History of Making Some Pretty Anti-Semitic Statements
Democrats are celebrating Omar's win and the diversity in their party, but they may regret their choice after scrolling back through her Twitter timeline. Here's what she had to say about Israel in 2012.
Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel. #Gaza #Palestine #Israel
Some analysts who have closely followed Washington politics say Tuesday night's election outcomes are unsurprising.
Yes. This is concerning, but it is not unexpected. The Dems have moved from entertaining anti-Semitism and anti-Israel voices, to fully embracing them as the party's future. Let us not forget how the 2012/16 Party leaders booed Israel and God. freebeacon.com/politics/israe…
Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) is one of the first 2 Muslim women elected in Congress: "I hope to bring a unique insight to the lives and struggles that refugees need and the kind of opportunities and hope they are looking for when they come here."
Trump opens door to declassifying Russia docs, and his acting Attorney General could be on board
President Trump is “very seriously” considering whether to declassify a slew of FBI and Justice Department records related to the Russia investigation, he said Wednesday. That controversial proposal, which Trump has toyed with for months, may have a backer in Matthew Whitaker, the acting attorney general.
“Declassification, we’re looking at very seriously,” Trump told reporters in a press conference on Wednesday, just before Attorney General Jeff Sessions was forced to resign.
Whitaker, who served as Sessions’ chief of staff, will take over as acting attorney general. In that role, he will oversee the special counsel’s investigation into Trump associates’ links to Russia. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had directed the investigation because Sessions recused himself due to contacts he had with Russians while working on the Trump campaign.

With Sessions Gone, Trump Is ‘Entitled’ to Attorney General Who Has His ‘Full Confidence’
President Donald Trump is “entitled” to have a “full-time attorney general” who has his complete “confidence” at the helm of the Department of Justice (DOJ), former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova said Wednesday night on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle” just hours after Trump accepted former Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ resignation.
“At your request, I am submitting my resignation,” Sessions wrote to Trump in his resignation letter.
Sessions stunned Trump in March 2017 — just one month after being sworn in — when he succumbed to pressure and recused himself from overseeing the probe into allegations of Russian collusion between Trump’s presidential campaign and Russia.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein ultimately appointed special counsel Robert Mueller to direct the probe in May 2017 after Trump fired former FBI Director James Comey.
The relationship between the president and his now-former attorney general has been strained ever since.
Sessions, who became the first sitting senator to endorse Trump’s presidential bid during the contentious GOP primary, deeply wounded Trump by recusing himself. The president repeatedly criticized Sessions verbally and on Twitter after the recusal and the relationship soured beyond repair. Many viewed it as a mere matter of time before Trump fired Sessions.
Matthew G. Whitaker, who served as Sessions’ chief of staff at the DOJ, became acting attorney general until Trump nominates another person.
Trump tweeted on Wednesday, “We are pleased to announce that Matthew G. Whitaker, Chief of Staff to Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the Department of Justice, will become our new Acting Attorney General of the United States. He will serve our Country well … We thank Attorney General Jeff Sessions for his service, and wish him well! A permanent replacement will be nominated at
