GOP House Intelligence Chair: Snowden is a Murderer (+video)

/5 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: APHouse Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers told members of Britain’s Parliament this week he wants to charge National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden with murder for revealing surveillance programs run by NSA and its British counterpart, the Government Communications Headquarters.

“We are treating him, as I would argue, [like] the traitor that he is,” the Michigan Republican told Parliament’s House of Commons Tuesday, according to The Hill. “And by the way — and this is important — I would charge him for murder.”

The Obama administration has already leveled multiple espionage charges against Snowden for leaking a cache of classified documents detailing bulk surveillance programs to journalists last summer. Citing a heavily redacted, top-secret Defense Intelligence Agency report earlier this year, Rogers and House Intelligence Committee ranking Democrat Dutch Ruppersberger claimed Snowden’s leaks “concern vital operations of the US Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force”…

Portions of the report released to the public describe the leaks as “staggering” and “grave,” despite the fact that numerous intelligence officials — including then-NSA Director Keith Alexander — have repeatedly said they only have a vague picture of what Snowden took.

Photo Credit: LifeNewsThe state of California is compelling churches to cover abortions, despite religious objections, or face the consequences from California’s Department of Managed Health Care (DMHC). . .

In a letter to the one of the churches involved, obtained by The Federalist, California’s DMHC argues that surgical abortion is “a medically necessary basic health care service for which all health care services plans must provide coverage under the Knox-Keene Health Care Service Plan Act.”

The letter goes on to state that, while the department recognized the religious exemptions at first, they are “now is requiring health care service plans to provide coverage of all terminations of pregnancies, effective immediately.”

Several churches involved are fighting back.

The Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) and the Life Legal Defense League filed a suit on behalf of seven churches across California. On the lawsuit against the Department of Health and Human Services, ADF senior counsel Casey Mattox claimed that, “California is flagrantly violating the federal law that protects employers from being forced into having abortion in their health insurance plans,” according to World Magazine.

/2 Comments/in , /by

In an exclusive interview with The Brody File, Senator Ted Cruz says pastors being hauled off to jail by the government for preaching against homosexuality is a “real risk” in the future. ““I think that is a real risk,” Cruz tells me. “Some in the media ridicule that threat saying there is no danger of the government coming after pastors. That is the usual response.” But he adds: “The specter of government trying to determine if what pastors preach from the pulpit meets with the policy views or political correctness of the governing authorities, that prospect is real and happening now.”

Footage of the extensive encounter depicts multiple college administrators tell the students that passing out Constitutions in the public area is against school policy and not allowed.

Judge Napolitano: Someone In The White House Committed A Felony (+video)

Fox News Senior Legal Analyst Andrew Napolitano appeared on “Special Report with Bret Baier” to discuss the recent White House prosecution scandal, during which he gave his opinion that someone in the Obama administration could be prosecuted for covering up the fact that a White House staffer was implicated in the investigation.

“I see a serious legal issue here,” Napolitano said, “Here’s the legal issue: the government is permitted legally to lie to us. Jay Carney, Josh Earnest, whoever’s speaking for the President, may lawfully lie. We of course can be prosecuted if we lie to the government. But the government can’t lawfully lie to itself.”

The campaign of Greg Abbott, a paraplegic running for governor of Texas as a Republican, is decrying the Democrat’s “disgusting” new television ad that uses his wheelchair against him.

Davis’ new ad, Justice, references the 1984 accident that paralyzed Abbott, while showing a photo of a wheelchair. “A tree fell on Greg Abbott,” the narrator says. “He sued and got millions.”

The ad then cites legal cases Abbott was involved in. “Since then, he’s spent his career working against other victims,” the narrator says.
