House Oversight Committee Launches Investigation Into Gov Newsom and Mayor Bass Over LA Riots

[CLAX1911]

“Newscum”

Too kind

There ya have it.

He's a piece of shit.

Enemy of Trump = automatically corrupt and as Ice Barbie said “need regime change” (meaning overthrown). Time to jail him!

Enemy of the people. You know the people that elected Donald Trump just forget about that right.

 

[CLAX1911]

So you have nothing as always

I don't need to have something the FBI does.

 

[ncguy]

So you have absolutely no credibility.

I have eyes I have seen it.

It would be the first time in history.

What you're telling me not to believe my liar guys you destroyed every ounce of credibility you ever had.

False Trump is the commander and Chief.

Anybody with eyes would.

Do you also believe the Earth is flat?

Newscum is a world class piece of shit.

Well he's an enemy of trump because he's an enemy of the state.

Pointing out $800 billion dollars of waste kind of makes a couple million investigating someone who is clearly corrupt not really a big deal.

So clearly corrupt you can't post a single fact to support your claim

 

[ncguy]

I don't need to have something the FBI does.

Of course you don't need to have anything if you don't mind making stupid posts
What does the FBI have?

 

[lynnwinslow]

Ahh, a political hack of an investigation. Thought MAGA was against wasteful spending, but it seems not.

Comer and Higgins couldn't investigate their way out of a paper bag.

 

[CLAX1911]

Of course you don't need to have anything if you don't mind making stupid posts

Your opinion about my post is noted do I think your answer the absolute most bright dead nonsense I've ever read. I can't believe someone can be such an utter puppet for the news media but you do you.

I already told you what the FBI has you said it was nothing. The FBI doesn't think so so they're going to go ahead with it and they're not going to be concerned with anything you say.

The House Oversight Committee is launching an investigation into Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass as the protests over federal immigration policies continue in California.

HOC Chairman James Comer and LA Rep. Clay Higgins are leading the investigation, which is requesting Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel to provide documents on "acts of violence against law enforcement officers in California."

"You champion California's sanctuary policies, which prevent local law enforcement's cooperation with federal immigration authorities. You have also made it clear that you intend to block the objectives of the federal government, and defend aliens, regardless of their immigration status, criminal activity, anti-American views, or incitement to riot.” said the HOC's letter to Newsom and Bass.

The House Oversight Committee's investigation is the first at the congressional level into the riots, as ICE officers have been sweeping the streets in an effort to remove illegal immigrants.

Oh boy, more waste of taxpayers money with GOP investigations that do nothing.

 

[bongsaway]

Why do you care about how my country "wastes" our money?

Tell us you are kidding after DOGE.

 

[bongsaway]

I hope they investigate why it took so long for LAPD to respond to ICE when they asked for help to deal with the summer of love-part #2 mostly peaceful protestors.

Do you happen to have any pics of LA as a cinder after its burning to the ground?

 

[bongsaway]

New ballroom. Dictatorial parade.

Let's talk about how OUR ****ing country wastes it's money.

Your verbiage is very insulting check your self.

And I don't care about the fact that you were addressing a Canadian. I vehemently disagree with your position and it's MY country too.

So typical of a republican supporter, their country, after all, isn't that what they are protecting trying to deport as many brown folks as possible before they are finally stopped by law?

 

[Gaius46]

Is that what the news media told you? Is it because they're getting their shady funding from the government cut off?

Nope. Some of DOGE's claims have been provably overstated, they've provided little to no evidence to back up some of their other claims and I haven't seen a word from them on what costs we will incur because of contracts they voided or services they killed.

 

[bongsaway]

Yesterday, Gavin Newsom also claimed a victory for thinking he won a lawsuit against Trump.

He did, briefly, so your post is nothing more than dis or misinformation.

 

[bongsaway]

Trump, convicted felon, convicted sexual offender, convicted fraudster. I won't claim you are a media puppet, you knew all these things and still voted for the criminal.

You want to deny those facts with more bullshit? No matter how much you guys whine about it, those convictions still stand, so whine away.

 

[CLAX1911]

Nope. Some of DOGE's claims have been provably overstated,

Provably let's have that proof then.

they've provided little to no evidence to back up some of their other claims

and I haven't seen a word from them on what costs we will incur because of contracts they voided or services they killed.

They didn't avoid any contracts they didn't have that power. Congress has to do that.

I can't just a word you say because you don't know the basics.

 

[Lovebug]

Have you condemned the LA riots yet? I may have missed it.

You did.

 

[CLAX1911]

Trump, convicted felon,

Attempted authoritarianism that failed

convicted sexual offender,

You would be able to show that he was convicted of this you can't because he wasn't.

This is a media lie you just gobble up. We're not surprised you do that.

convicted fraudster.

Again no conviction for this

I won't claim you are a media puppet,

You just stated several media conspiracies it would be hypocrisy if you did.

you knew all these things and still voted for the criminal.

I think the charges he was convicted on were phony and clearly they were because he was never sentenced. And the attempt to interfere with democracy and try it convict on some nonsense is authoritarianism it is my duty as an American to thwart that.

So I had to vote for him.

You want to deny those facts

What facts prove that he was convicted of sexual assault.

with more bullshit? No matter how much you guys whine about it, those convictions still stand,

And mean absolutely nothing because the retards that tried didn't sentence him.

Haha the authoritarians Lost

so whine away.

waaa convicted felon waaaa waaa convicted waaaaa.

My bad...No, Donald Trump was not convicted of a sexual offense in a criminal court. However, he was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation in a civil lawsuit brought by E. Jean Carroll.

He is a convicted felon and nothing is changing that fact.

 

[CLAX1911]

My bad...No, Donald Trump was not convicted of a sexual offense in a criminal court.

Yeah you just repeated that because you were told that that happened

However, he was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation in a civil lawsuit brought by E. Jean Carroll.

So? That doesn't mean he's guilty of anything. Civil liability is based on preponderance of the evidence.

He is a convicted felon and nothing is changing that fact.

Fair enough.

Part of the reason I voted for him was because of this stupid little barotic scam to convict him of a crime to undermine democracy.

He won the popular vote he won every swing state, nothing is changing that fact either.

 

[Ikari]

Comer and Higgins couldn't investigate their way out of a paper bag.

Well I think the point is mostly to spin a headline more than anything else.

 

[CLAX1911]

Well I think the point is mostly to spin a headline more than anything else.

Oh yes because people who write the headlines are very favorable of Trump.

 

[NOLA Dude]

Hey, at least when all the shit goes down we already know who supported a king in America.

As will their families/communities.

Its hard to tell if you are a burner account for Keith Olbermann or David Hogg.

I can't just a word you say because you don't know the basics.

DOGE claims to have cancelled lots of contracts. They say so right on their website

"We are working to upload all of our receipts in a digestible and transparent manner consistent with applicable rules and regulations. To get started, listed below are a subset of contract, grant, and lease cancellations, representing ~30% of total savings.

The contracts listed below have been posted publicly on fpds.gov. FPDS posting of the contract termination notices can have up to a 1 month lag. There may be discrepencies between FPDS / USAspending and the posted numbers, the latter of which originate directly from agency contracting and grant officials."

As to overstatements:

DOGE’s claimed contract savings of $24.8 billion are ‘overstated,’ BoA says

The cost-cutting team claims to have saved around $24.8 billion in contract cancellations and renegotiations as of March 30, up from $21.6 billion last week.

So no proof for this thing that you declared was provable?

Not spending money on contractors probably savings.

SCOTUS isn’t compelled to rule anything. Interesting tgst you only support states rights when it’s something that you like. Interesting you claim you support small government until you don’t.

This is ad hominem nonsense. Dismissed.

Rebellion is a significant movement or uprising to overthrow the government and that’s not what the protesters were doing.

Of course they were. The rioters were hurling objects at ICE agents - bricks, bottles cinder block fragments - that is the essence of a rebellion against the Government of the United States.

Posse Commitatus says zero about protests or police being hurt or threatened.

The groundwork being established has nothing to do with Posse Comitatus. It is an entirely different statute: 10 U.S. Code § 12406 (National Guard in Federal service) which may be invoked "whenever there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States"
source: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/12406

Obviously, the whole point of the L.A. riots was to rebel against (obstruct) the authority of federal agents (ICE). That was their purpose. and that's what they DID - until the National Guard was summoned. Then ICE agents were able to resume their duties.

This is a no brainer for SCOTUS - it will take them 3 minutes (or less) to reach a decision which supports Trump calling in the National Guard to quell the violence.

"compelled too" because there were zero injuries in a city? lol

There were Zero injuries in a city? I never said that. You made it up.

A textbook straw-man argument. Noted and dismissed.

What now ICE officers aren't capable of defending themselves?

Nobody said (or even implied) that ICE officers aren't capable of defending themselves . Straw-Man noted, and dismissed.

All that money on firearms and training and body armor and ninja costumes and then need part time soldiers to protect them.

ICE officers are trained and armed to defend themselves against the people who they are arresting for deportation.

They are not trained and armed to defend themselves against violent mobs. The National Guard are armed and trained for dealing with violent mobs.

 

[ElChupacabra]

Git' in there Comer!


I guess this will be another effort in futility, but I am curious to see how this pans out because unless Newsom and Bass didn't deploy the police, this is going to be a waste of time. But sure, let's "investigate".
