The DOJ Inspector General Releases ‘Damning’ Report on James Comey; Trump Takes Comey To The Woodshed

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By PJ Media. [T]he Inspector General of the Department of Justice released its report on former FBI Director James Comey, “Report of Investigation of Former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey’s Disclosure of Sensitive Investigative Information and Handling of Certain Memoranda.”

Page 2:

Upon completing our investigation, pursuant to Section 4(d) of the Inspector General Act of 1978, the OIG provided a copy of its factual findings to the Department for a prosecutorial decision regarding Comey’s conduct. See 5 U.S.C.A. App. 3 § 4(d) (2016). After reviewing the matter, the Department declined prosecution. Thereafter, we prepared this report to consider whether Comey’s actions violated Department or FBI policy, or the terms of Comey’s FBI Employment Agreement. As described in this report, we conclude that Comey’s retention, handling, and dissemination of certain Memos violated Department and FBI policies, and his FBI Employment Agreement.

Page 61:

We have previously faulted Comey for acting unilaterally and inconsistent with Department policy. Comey’s unauthorized disclosure of sensitive law enforcement information about the Flynn investigation merits similar criticism. In a country built on the rule of law, it is of utmost importance that all FBI employees adhere to Department and FBI policies, particularly when confronted by what appear to be extraordinary circumstances or compelling personal convictions. Comey had several other lawful options available to him to advocate for the appointment of a Special Counsel, which he told us was his goal in making the disclosure. What was not permitted was the unauthorized disclosure of sensitive investigative information, obtained during the course of FBI employment, in order to achieve a personally desired outcome.

Trump Takes James Comey to the Woodshed, Who Just Got Blasted by DOJ Inspector General

By Townhall. . .Yeah, if this is just an appetizer to the full-course meal we’re about to be served regarding FISA and the origins of the Russia collusion, we’re about to have a hell of a Fall concerning Deep State antics—and it could be scorching for Democrats. The dirty laundry is about to be aired. Will there be any accountability? It remains to be seen. I doubt it. But it will give the Trump White House and conservative America reassurances in their feelings about the elites, the intelligence community, and the notion that there were actors acting not in accordance with established department policy in an effort to tilt the 2016 election. And the fish rots from the head.

Oh yeah, where was Trump when this news broke? Well, he took to Twitter to take his turn slamming Comey for his conduct as head of the FBI.

“Perhaps never in the history of our Country has someone been more thoroughly disgraced and excoriated than James Comey in the just released Inspector General’s Report. He should be ashamed of himself!,” he wrote.

Does This Federal Appellate Case Risk Killing the Electoral College?

/0 Comments/in , , /by

. . .Last week, three years after Trump won the election, the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling over Micheal Baca’s “faithless electing.” Baca was a Hillary-hating Democratic elector in Colorado; in 2016, he cast his ballot for Ohio Gov. John Kasich, despite Clinton having won Colorado’s popular vote. Colorado’s Secretary of State then removed Baca as an elector, threw out his vote, and replaced him with a Hillary voter. Baca sued for violation of his civil rights, and that case made its way up to the 10th Circuit.

Now’s a good time to point out that votes of electors are governed by state law; that means, of course, that the specifics on those laws vary from state to state. Some statutes specifically spell out what happens if an elector goes rogue, and others do not. While examining Colorado’s response to Baca’s refusal to fall in line, the 10th Circuit took a gander at the U.S. Constitution — specifically, the Twelfth Amendment. Writing for the 2-1 majority, Appellate Judge Carolyn McHugh ruled that for quite some time now, we’ve been getting things wrong.

According to Judge McHugh, the framers of the Constitution said what they meant and meant what they said; if they used the word “vote” to describe the electors’ function, they really meant “vote,” with all the independent judgment that the word implies. Colorado, the judge ruled, shouldn’t be interfering:

We therefore agree with Mr. Baca that the use of these terms supports a determination that the electors, once appointed, are free to vote as they choose. And if that freedom emanates directly from the Constitution, state law cannot strip it away.

. . .

The next few weeks will be critical for the future of the electoral college. If certiorari is sought in the Colorado case, litigants will have a compelling argument that the case presents an important split among the circuits. And if the case is taken up by the high court, it may find itself landing on friendly soil. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has already gone on record saying that she would support changes to the electoral college system.

Joe Biden Told Moving Military Story at Campaign Stop – but It ‘Never Happened’

/0 Comments/in , /by

. . .The controversy surrounds a moving military story — which the former VP claimed to be the “God’s truth” — that Biden told at a campaign stop in New Hampshire earlier this month.

The only problem was that the story was not true, according to The Washington Post. Biden was quick to respond to the allegation on Thursday, speaking to a Washington Post’s Cape Up podcast. “I was making the point how courageous these people are, how incredible they are, this generation of warriors, these fallen angels we’ve lost,” he said. “I don’t know what the problem is. What is it that I said wrong?”

Earlier, Biden’s allegedly tall tale was an emotional account of his decision to travel to Afghanistan, despite concerns about visiting a war-torn area, in order to honor a Navy captain for retrieving the body of his dead comrade during battle.

According to Biden, he brushed off concerns about the risk of him traveling to the deadly area. “We can lose a vice president,” he said, recounting his words to a crowd during an event on Friday. “We can’t lose many more of these kids. Not a joke.” His story involved the captain dramatically telling Biden he didn’t want the medal because his comrade ended up dying.

But after speaking with more than a dozen military and campaign sources, the Post determined the event “never happened” and that “almost every detail in the story appears to be incorrect.” (Read more from “Joe Biden Told Moving Military Story at Campaign Stop – but It ‘Never Happened'” HERE)

Donald Trump Cancels Trip to Poland in Response to Hurricane Dorian; Florida Hurricane Now a Category 2 Storm and Is Expected to Strengthen

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he would cancel his trip to Poland, as Hurricane Dorian approaches Florida.

“It looks like it could be a very very big one indeed,” Trump said.

The president was scheduled to attend ceremonies in Poland Sunday marking the 80th Anniversary of the start of World War II. Trump announced the cancelation of his plans ahead of a speech in the Rose Garden hailing the return of Space Command.

He said he would remain in the United States to ensure that the country was prepared for the arriving storm.

“Our highest priority is the safety and security of the people in the path of the hurricane,” he said. (Read more from “Donald Trump Cancels Trip to Poland in Response to Hurricane Dorian” HERE)

Dorian Now a Category 2 Storm and Is Expected to Strengthen

By CBS News. Hurricane Dorian strengthened to a Category 2 storm on Thursday night as officials said it is expected to hit Florida even harder than previously thought, prompting a widened state of emergency. The storm is on track to make landfall early Monday as a powerful Category 4 hurricane — it could be the strongest direct hit to Florida’s east coast since Hurricane Andrew in 1992.

Florida residents rushed to supermarkets across the states collecting food and supplies.

The National Weather Service said Dorian could bring a “triple-threat of dangers” to Florida — including “life-threatening storm surge, devastating hurricane-force winds and heavy rains.” They urged Floridians to “prepare NOW.”

Joe Biden Goes After Illegal Alien Detention Centers

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Breitbart. Former vice president Joe Biden told an town hall at Clinton College in Rock Hill, South Carolina on Thursday afternoon that he would close down migrant shelters and detention facilities at the border.

Biden was asked by a Clinton College student what he would do to improve and help migrants in the facilities reunite with their families.

“Close them down!” Biden declared, to loud applause.

“No, no, no, no, no, no,” he continued. “We don’t need them. We [meaning President Barack Obama and himself] found that, when we were in office, in fact … [when] we finally got things under control, you have to report back for a hearing on such-and-such a date, people show up!”

Biden neglected to mention that many of the migrant shelters and detention facilities were opened under the Obama administration (or, as Biden refers to it, the “Obama-Biden administration), after a massive surge of unaccompanied minors to the border.

Biden Calls to Shut down Immigration Detention Centers: ‘We Don’t Need Them!’

By Washington Examiner. . .Back in July, Biden promised that if elected to the White House, he would not detain migrant children at the detention centers on the border. He made this pledge after meeting with over 20 members of BOLDPAC, a political action committee that funds the reelection campaigns of Congressional Hispanic Caucus members on Capitol Hill.

Minors who travel to the border with legal guardians are brought into the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with the rest of their family, where the entire unit is ordinarily released within 20 days.

The Trump administration recently announced plans to allow DHS to hold migrant families in detention for longer periods of time than what is currently allowed under the 2015 Flores Settlement Agreement. The Obama administration, however, had already held migrant families for longer periods than 20 days up until the Flores Settlement Agreement was established.

Biden’s current stance puts him in alignment with his fellow Democratic primary opponents who also called to shut down the facilities including New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker who wants to “virtually eliminate immigration detention,” as well as California Sen. Kamala Harris, who called to “Get rid of the private detention centers.” (Read more from “Biden Calls to Shut down Immigration Detention Centers: ‘We Don’t Need Them!'” HERE)

Apple Apologizes After Whistleblower Reports Siri Routinely Records Private Interactions

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Wednesday, Apple issued an apology to Siri users for employing third-party contractors to listen to audio recordings picked up as ‘background noise’ — including recordings of people having sex, making drug deals, and discussing confidential medical information.

According to The Guardian, a whistleblower who works for Apple explained, “There have been countless instances of recordings featuring private discussions between doctors and patients, business deals, seemingly criminal dealings, sexual encounters and so on. These recordings are accompanied by user data showing location, contact details, and app data.”

Some of the recordings are passed on to third-party contractors who review them for Apple’s “Siri grading program.” Apple apologized for not “fully living up to our high ideals” and temporarily halted the Siri grading program. “We plan to resume later this fall when software updates are released to our users,” they wrote, adding that in the future users will be able to opt in to the program and that “only Apple employees will be allowed to listen to audio samples of the Siri interactions.” . . .

And they said, yesterday, ‘You know, we realize that we haven’t been fully living up to our high ideals and we apologize.’ Oh, really? … You didn’t realize you were violating your ‘high ideals’ when you were listening to people?” (Read more from “Apple Apologizes After Whistleblower Reports Siri Routinely Records Private Interactions” HERE)

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Attacks Private Prison CEO Who Named Her in Email Responding to Anti-ICE Criminal Activity

/0 Comments/in , /by

The CEO of GEO Group, a private prison operator, attempted to set the record straight on his company’s operation of migrant detention centers on behalf of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and is now under attack from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., after an internal company email was leaked to the Young Turks.

GEO’s founder and CEO, George Zoley, sent a memo to employees on recent anti-ICE protests that occurred at detention facilities operated by the company, drawing attention to “illegal activity” committed by some protesters and citing Ocasio-Cortez’s “concentration camp” rhetoric as instigating at least one of the protests.

Ocasio-Cortez responded on Twitter, saying she’d be “honored to go toe to toe” with Zoley, adding that “your entire business – the caging of humans for profit – is immoral & should be outlawed.”

The email points to five incidents in which GEO Group facilities were targeted because of the company’s partnership with ICE. Among them were the highly publicized July 12 protest at the Aurora, Colorado, ICE detention center, where protesters took down the American flag and replaced it with the Mexican flag, the July 13 Antifa domestic terrorist attack on a Tacoma, Washington, detention center, and the August 13 targeted shooting attack at ICE’s San Antonio Office, where a GEO Group office is located in the same building.

Ocasio-Cortez has repeatedly smeared ICE detention facilities as “concentration camps” and claimed the U.S. is headed for “fascism” under President Donald Trump. She is mentioned in a paragraph about an August 12 protest at the GEO Group corporate office in Boca Raton, Florida, where a Jewish group called Never Again Action organized a protest comparing immigration enforcement to the Holocaust and demanding the company “stop literally everything they’re doing.”

“False narratives and deliberate mischaracterizations were the basis for these recent events,” Zoley writes in the email. “Misguided individuals intimidated our employees and defamed the American flag at a time when we recently commemorated the birth of our nation and the 75th anniversary of our landing at Normandy.”

“We continue to see false and baseless claims made in the media against our company and other government service providers,” the email continues. Foley disputes reports that GEO’s facilities are overcrowded, that they have housed unaccompanied minors, and that the company has “provided services related to the separation of families.”

“Like all Americans, we are concerned about the unprecedented humanitarian crisis at our Southern border … but we are disappointed by the historically and factually inaccurate portrayal of our facilities.”

ICE and other immigration law enforcement agencies in the U.S. have come under persistent attack from the Left since President Trump pledged to strengthen the border and enforce the law. In addition to the incidents noted in Foley’s email, anti-ICE protesters have interfered with the apprehension of a criminal illegal alien with a final deportation order. The mainstream media has also participated in attacking ICE, reporting a false story that immigration enforcement officials ripped a baby away from a nursing mother. Conservative Review’s Daniel Horowitz confirmed with ICE that the mother in question was not, in fact, nursing.

Foley’s email to employees highlights how dishonest attacks from the Left and specifically from Ocasio-Cortez have contributed to anti-ICE sentiment and in at least two cases have endangered employees of his company by inspiring violent attacks. Unfortunately, Ocasio-Cortez does not see any need to reconsider her rhetoric and is instead looking to pick a fight.

Government Continues Persecuting Doctors and Pain Patients to Protect Drug Traffickers and Illegal Immigration

/0 Comments/in , /by

We don’t have an opioid crisis in this country, at least not today. We have a sovereignty crisis, which has led to the flooding of this country with drugs more powerful than anything around even 10 years ago – all promoted by the Mexican cartels and the criminal alien networks allowed to peddle them in sanctuary cities. Yet, for our politicians and the courts, it’s so much easier to make big bad Johnson & Johnson, doctors, and chronic pain patients the boogeymen in order to protect the sacred agendas of open borders and “criminal justice reform,” aka not locking up those trafficking the stuff actually responsible for most of the drug fatalities.

The media and political class celebrated the Monday ruling from an Oklahoma judge ordering Johnson & Johnson to pay $572 million for fueling the “opioid epidemic.” The company is being held responsible even for other companies’ drugs and, of course, the drugs of the Mexican cartels. It’s not even clear who will receive the money. Now who will sue on behalf of the pain patients who are getting their painkillers cut off in order to cover for illegal aliens and drug traffickers?

As I’ve noted in my exhaustive series on the true cause of the drug crisis since 2014, most drug fatalities are from illicit drugs peddled by Mexican cartels. Prescription deaths are down, and prescriptions themselves are seriously limited, more than ever before. To continue declaring war on prescriptions while ignoring the fact that we barely prosecute drug traffickers any more and continuing our reluctance go after the cartels is a recipe for skyrocketing overdoses and harming pain patients.

That’s because, for the most part, it’s not those who are taking pain medication who are overdosing on it, or on illicit opioids. In fact, the fastest-growing drug problem is not even opioids, but cocaine and meth, which are psychostimulants, the opposite of opioids. For a judge to make such a policy pronouncement blaming prescriptions drugs for the crisis is scandalous. As I’ve noted before, most chronic pain patients are older and more are women, while the overwhelming majority of drug fatalities are younger and male.

There is actually a perfectly inverse relationship between the trends in prescriptions and drug overdoses. Total oxycodone ER prescriptions had already decreased by 29.7 percent long ago, around 2007-2011, and decreased 39 percent from 2010 to 2015. Overall opioid prescriptions have decreased a whopping 34 percent from existing plummeting levels just from January 2017 to February 2019 and 43 percent overall since 2011. Prescriptions for high dosage, defined as 90 morphine milligram equivalents or more, declined by 61 percent. Meanwhile, drug deaths have nearly doubled since the end of Obama’s first term, when border and interior enforcement began to collapse, also coinciding with the collapse of drug sentencing in this country.

This graphic from the Alliance for Treating Intractable Pain says it all:

The entire baseline increase in deaths over the past five years had nothing to do with prescriptions and were all from the border and from the illegal alien networks that distribute drugs at the primary level. As Robert Murphy, the DEA special agent in charge of Atlanta, told me earlier this year: “The people coming across the border to make and distribute the drugs are coming here illegally. You can drive all the liquid meth you want here, but you still have to have the people to do it, and they are not coming across at checkpoints; they are sneaking across the border. The people who are here operating the networks are all illegal immigrants.

What the government should be doing is holding the line at our border against the cartels and deporting every single illegal alien in sanctuary cities who is trafficking drugs. As I’ve reported before, DEA agents will tell you that if we busted up the criminal alien networks (they can all be deported without a prosecution), it would become prohibitively expensive for the cartels to peddle these types of drugs at the current prices. Yet rather than going after drug traffickers, illegal aliens, and the cartels, thereby driving down the price of illicit drugs – which is the entire crisis – the politicians at all levels are going after doctors, pharmaceuticals, and pain patients, driving up the cost of much-needed medication for people who are not drug addicts.

The feds just indicted a network of 19 heroin traffickers last week in Oklahoma for bringing in heroin from Mexico. We don’t need another war on drugs. Simply enforcing our existing immigration laws would severely limit the supply to at least pre-2014 crisis levels.

Then there is jailbreak, aka “criminal justice reform.” States barely lock people up for drug trafficking any more, and even the feds are very limited. According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, the median time served for drug trafficking (not possession) is 17 months. And that is among those who actually serve time. Many get off with probation. Now, both parties nearly unanimously passed a bill providing both front-end sentencing reductions and back-end early release for the worst transnational drug traffickers who are sitting in federal prison, specifically targeted by federal prosecutors as kingpins.

Yet these same politicians have the nerve to lie that this is a health care issue and treat doctors and pain patients as criminals, while sending out Kim Kardashian to celebrate people trafficking drugs for the cartels.

This is no different from their approach to guns and crime. They let out violent felons, including gun felons, and then take away guns from those who need them to remain safe from those criminals the do-gooders let out. They focus on the pain meds or guns while enabling the people who kill with dangerous chemicals and guns.

Increasing Violence Against ICE? Feds Let ‘Occupy ICE’ Perpetrators off Easy

/0 Comments/in , /by

There is a dangerous trend percolating throughout the country – the delegitimization of enforcement of our immigration law. One of the many battles of this war on American sovereignty is the growing violence against ICE operations. Following several attacks on ICE facilities, now would be the time to make an example of the first Antifa fighters prosecuted for illegally disrupting ICE. Instead, federal prosecutors in Oregon inexplicably let Antifa members who caused the shutdown of an ICE facility for 10 days last year off the hook.

The Oregonian is reporting that six individuals who helped block the entries to ICE’s Portland facility last June, causing it to shut down at a cost of $1.8 million, were let off without a conviction:

The six have agreed to each pay $100 fines, complete 10 hours of community service by the end of this year and stay at least 200 feet away from the federal facility for one year, Assistant U.S. Attorney Michelle Kerin told a judge.

The six defendants were slated to stand trial on two misdemeanor counts that could have resulted in some jail time, but for whatever reason the federal prosecutors in Oregon were unwilling to press the case. According to the Oregonian, this is part of a new rule:

Under a new local rule adopted by the U.S. District of Oregon on Aug. 1, those who pay a fine stemming from a federal misdemeanor or petty offense citation won’t face a criminal conviction. They may waive their appearance before a federal magistrate judge and dispose of the matter by paying a fine approved by the court, ending the case. It won’t constitute a criminal conviction or admission of guilt.

The problem is that this is not just any petty crime. Any good prosecutor will tell you that “small” crimes matter if they are fueling a growing dangerous trend. We’ve seen a dangerous attempted terror attack on the Tacoma, Washington, facility, a shooting into the San Antonio ICE office building, and destruction of property at the Aurora, Colorado, facility.

This amnesty sends the message to Antifa members that they won’t even risk a criminal record if they disrupt ICE with anarchy.

Of all places, Portland is where the feds need to take a strong stand, because Antifa feels no deterrent from local law enforcement, who seem to be nowhere in sight when Antifa perpetrates violence. In July, I had then-acting field director of ICE’s Seattle office, Brian Wilcox, on my podcast and asked him if he gets cooperation from law enforcement, in Oregon and Washington in general and in Portland in particular, when Antifa gets violent against ICE. Of Portland, he said emphatically, “No.”

“To be frank with you, it depends on where we are, we definitely are not getting cooperation locally in Portland.”

Why the Department of Justice did not act more aggressively in this case to back its partners at the Department of Homeland Security is mystifying. In general, there has been very little effort at the DOJ to go after sanctuary city politicians and private citizens who obstruct immigration law, harbor illegal aliens, or shield them from protection.

While federal prosecutors fail to stand with ICE, Michelle Malkin, who is coming out with a new book on the assault on immigration law, is planning a #StandWithICE counter-movement to show support for the beleaguered agency. She is traveling to sanctuary cities to promote ICE’s mission.

As I’ve said before, in many ways, ICE is the most important law enforcement agency in America for public safety outcomes. Every crime committed by foreign nationals, by definition, is an avoidable crime, and certainly the subsequent crimes after they are caught the first time. ICE has the legal power and scope to completely remove them from the country so that, unlike with American criminals, Americans never have to suffer from their repeat crimes.

As Antifa anarchy and the civil disobedience in our legal and political system against immigration laws intensify, federal prosecutors would be wise to heed the warning of President Calvin Coolidge during his 1927 Memorial Day address:

We have made our place in the world through the Union and the Constitution. We have flourished as a people because of our success in establishing self-government. But all of these results are predicated upon a law-abiding people. If our own country should be given over to violence and crime, it would be necessary to diminish the bounds of our freedom to secure order and self-preservation. In whatever direction we may go we are always confronted with the inescapable conclusion that unless we observe the law we cannot be free.

2005 Video Surfaces, Shows Pic of Epstein and Mistress Inside White House, Underage Girls at Mansion; Also, US Government Gave Epstein Passports for Minor Girls

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Business Insider. Resurfaced video from a 2005 police raid on Jeffrey Epstein’s Florida mansion shows a mysterious photo that appears to be of him and Ghislaine Maxwell in the White House.

The video was shot by officers from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office inside Epstein’s $16 million Palm Beach mansion on October 10, 2005. It was republished by the Daily Mail this week.

A photo collage in the footage includes a photo of a gray-haired man resembling Epstein and a dark-haired woman resembling Maxwell, who’s been accused of acting as his madam, standing in front of a White House logo, a backdrop that appears to match the White House press briefing room.


Insider has not been able to verify the photo. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Epstein was known to be close with former US President Bill Clinton, who rode on Epstein’s plane on several occasions in the months after leaving the White House in January 2001. (Read more from “2005 Video Surfaces Showing Pic of Jeffrey Epstein and Mistress Inside the White House” HERE)

Video from 2005 Raid on Jeffrey Epstein’s Estate Shows Images of Underage Girls

By The New York Post. Newly surfaced video from a 2005 police raid on Jeffrey Epstein’s sprawling Palm Beach estate offers a disturbing glimpse into the late pedophile’s tastes — including photographs of scantily clad underage girls, according to reports.

Detectives investigating Epstein’s alleged sexual relationships with young girls enter the mansion with guns drawn and read a search warrant to the house manager.

“The court, being satisfied of the existence of said ground [for search] set forth in the affidavit and that the laws of the State of Florida have been violated in or on a premises known and described as follows, to wit 358 El Brillo Road,” one detective reads, according to footage obtained by CBS 12.

The officers then sweep through the $16.4 million waterfront compound, where they come across a photo of a girl who appears to be about 6 years old bending over in a short dress with her behind exposed, according to the Daily Mail. Authorities blurred the image. (Read more from “Video from 2005 Raid on Jeffrey Epstein’s Estate Shows Images of Underage Girls” HERE)

U.S. Government Gave Epstein’s Minor Girls Passports; Who Did Epstein Own in the State Department?

One of the women accusing Jeffrey Epstein of sexual abuse, Chauntae Davies, is vowing to continue her fight for justice after his death. In an exclusive interview with “CBS This Morning,” Davies shared her story and told Gayle King she’s suspicious of the way Epstein died. . .

“The first encounter I had with him, he masturbated in front of me,” Davies said. “And obviously, that alone should have been enough for me to never come back, but the way that they were able to orchestrate and manipulate the situation, you know, led me to believe that something like that wouldn’t happen again so I did go back a second time” . . .

“It was about the third or fourth encounter meeting, the two of them, where things progressed to rape,” Davies said. . .

“I’m still trying to understand. There’s a lot of anger that I have for myself,” Davies said. “Immediately, the power that this man had was evident. He made it very clear, Ghislaine made it very clear. He had powerful figures photographed all over his residences. Even in one of the first couple trips they even somehow got me a passport.” (Read more from this story HERE)
