July 7, 2019
“As will be reflected in filings tomorrow in the census-related cases, the Department of Justice is shifting these matters to a new team of Civil Division lawyers going forward," DOJ spokesperson Kerri Kupec told The Hill in a statement on Sunday.
"Since these cases began, the lawyers representing the United States in these cases have given countless hours to defending the Commerce Department and have consistently demonstrated the highest professionalism, integrity, and skill inside and outside the courtroom."
"The Attorney General appreciates that service, thanks them for their work on these important matters, and is confident that the new team will carry on in the same exemplary fashion as the cases progress,” Kupec added.
A DOJ official told ABC News earlier that James Burnham, currently the deputy attorney general in the department’s civil division, and a former lawyer in the White House counsel’s office, will be leaving the team...
Trump Was ‘Only One’ To Help Prosecutor In 2009 Epstein Case…
July 7, 2019
Following a 2018 financial settlement between Florida attorney Bradley Edwards - who represented one of Epstein's accusers, only to be later sued by Epstein, Edwards claimed that Donald Trump was the 'only person' who provided assistance when Edwards served subpoenas and notices to high-profile individuals connected to Epstein.

In January 2016, Vice.com ran Silverstein's story on Trump's ties to Epstein, which framed them as more social - including dinner parties, two plane trips, and Epstein hanging out at Trump's Mar-a-lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. As Radar reported last April, "According to an investigation by Radar, Trump was among dozens of renowned New Yorkers who knew Epstein socially but ostracized him after Palm Beach police uncovered the financiers sleazy double life," adding that Trump "once barred child molester Jeffrey Epstein from his famed Mar-a-lago club after the presidential candidate caught him hitting on a young girl."Also, Anon proves Trump's innocence:
If big names start dropping and it gets ugly, what would make a fantastic smoke screen to distract everyone? Beware of false flags.
Top Trump Immigration Official Says Ice To Begin Deporting 1 Million Undocumented Immigrants…
July 7, 2019
Ken Cuccinelli, acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), said the Department of Homeland Security's removal branch is set to execute a plan to find, detain and ultimately deport at least a million migrants who have surpassed final removal orders. Cuccinelli said President Donald Trump will make good on his threat to deport "millions" of migrants... Cuccinelli backed up Trump's deportation plan, saying the American people should not be surprised by such removal operations, and the ICE migrant roundups have simply been "held up" by Washington political games.

Since June 10, agents in Del Rio Sector have arrested over 1,000 Haitian nationals, which include a group of over 100 on June 22 and a group of over 200 on June 24.

Migrants allowed to disembark in Malta
July 7, 2019
Prime Minister Joseph Muscat said after talks with the European Commission and German government that all 65 would be relocated to other parts of the EU. The migrants were brought ashore after being transferred to the Maltese navy from the Alan Kurdi rescue ship.
Two other rescue ships defied a ban by docking in Italy in recent days. The development infuriated Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini. German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer has said his country will take up to 40 of the migrants from the two vessels. He also wrote to his Italian counterpart imploring him to re-open ports to humanitarian ships. Mr Salvini responded angrily. "Dear German government," he was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency, "I'm not reopening the ports... If anything we're going to put... [the migrants] in a car and take them to the German embassy."
James Comey’s Daughter is reportedly a prosecutor in the new criminal case against convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein…
July 7, 2019
Maurene Comey, daughter of former FBI Director James Comey, is reportedly a prosecutor in the new criminal case against convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. This details comes out of a new CNN report. The source is described as a person “with knowledge of the case.”
Maurene Comey is an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the SDNY. She’s worked on cases involving alleged racketeering, drugs and weapons offenses, embezzlement, obstruction of justice, and robbery. Like father, like daughter. Her dad was U.S. Attorney for the same office before becoming U.S. Deputy Attorney General under President George W. Bush...
Details on the case remain sketchy, though the involvement of the Public Corruption Unit caught the attention of legal experts. Gene Rossi, a Law&Crime trial analyst and former federal prosecutor for the Eastern District of Virginia, suggested to us that Epstein may face other charges. It could mean counts of money laundering, public corruption, or tax-related crimes.
“Who knows?” he said. “The sky’s the limit.”...
So far this is only a rumor. Lets not forget that Geoffrey Berman is a US Attorney for the SDNY appointed by Sessions. But are we about to see the epic end-game battle? ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀
