🚨EXCLUSIVE: FBI Employees who were involved in the inappropriate actions against @realDonaldTrump have received this notice. "You played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump... Given your significant role in prosecuting the President, I do not believe that the leadership of the Department can trust you to assist in implementing the President's agenda faithfully." See complete notice below👇🏻 Notice of Removal from Federal Service This letter provides official notice that you are being removed from your position at the Department of Justice, and from the federal service, effective immediately. As President Trump declared on his first day back in office, "[t)he American people have witnessed the previous administration engage in a systematic campaign against its perceived political opponents, weaponizing the legal force of numerous Federal law enforcement agencies... against those perceived political opponents in the form of investigations, prosecutions, civil enforcement actions, and other related actions." Nowhere was that effort more salient than in the unprecedented prosecutions the Department of Justice vigorously pursued against President Trump himself. You played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump. The proper functioning of government critically depends on the trust superior officials place in their subordinates. Given your significant role in prosecuting the President, I do not believe that the leadership of the Department can trust you to assist in implementing the President's agenda faithfully. As a result, pursuant to Article Il of the Constitution and the laws of the United States, your employment with the Department of Justice is hereby terminated, and you are removed from federal service effective immediately. If applicable, you may have a right to file an appeal of this removal with the U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) within 30 days of the effective date of the removal action. For more information on how to file an appeal with the MSPB. please visit www*mspb*gov

LAWFARE: In an egregious and unconstitutional assault on executive authority, Judge Paul Engelmayer has unilaterally forbidden all of Trump's political appointees—including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent—from accessing Treasury Department data. This ruling, concocted without legal precedent or constitutional justification, is nothing short of judicial sabotage. Worse, it was issued ex parte—meaning Trump administration lawyers weren’t given notice, weren’t allowed to argue, and weren’t even in the room. Only Democrat attorneys general were heard, ensuring a predetermined outcome. Engelmayer’s order is legally indefensible. He cites no statutory basis because none exists. He offers no constitutional rationale because the Constitution directly contradicts him. Instead, he fabricates a fiction: that the duly appointed Treasury Secretary is nothing more than a ceremonial figurehead, akin to a powerless monarch, while unelected bureaucrats—who answer to no voters—control the nation’s finances. This is judicial tyranny masquerading as jurisprudence. The implications are staggering. By stripping the executive branch of access to its own financial data, this ruling effectively transfers control of the federal purse to the permanent bureaucracy—the so-called “deep state.” That is a direct assault on the Constitution’s separation of powers, which vests executive authority in the elected President and his appointees, not in career government employees. This is lawfare at its most brazen: a raw, partisan power grab dressed up in legalese. If allowed to stand, this decision sets the precedent that any left-wing judge can unilaterally strip the President of his authority and hand it to the administrative state. That is not democracy. It is not law. It is judicial dictatorship. While the order is currently set to last only a week, no serious person believes this won’t be extended if the courts think they can get away with it. The Trump Administration should treat this for what it is—an unconstitutional usurpation—and consider defying it outright. No judge has the authority to cripple the executive branch and hand power to unelected bureaucrats. Beyond that, the Supreme Court must intervene and overturn this blatant violation of constitutional governance. Judge Engelmayer should be barred from hearing any future cases related to executive authority, and every Democrat lawyer who enabled this attack on the Constitution should be sanctioned. This is not a legal dispute—it is a coup by the judiciary against the elected government. And it cannot be allowed to stand.

JUST IN: Judge Amy Berman Jackson becomes the 5th judge *today* to block an aspect of Trump's early-term orders, this time the firing of ethics watchdog Hampton Dellinger. And night isn't over. yet ... https://t.co/dUaxwZeOmq

@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸

Gotta love watching DC judges who for four f*cking years did nothing but rage about efforts to "overturn the 2020 election" in Jan 6 cases now brazenly defy the will of the people who elected Donald Trump. Amy Berman Jackson (Obama) just reinstated Hampton Dellinger, the Biden-appointed head of the Office of Special Counsel, who was fired by the president on Feb 7. He filed a lawsuit yesterday and ABJ, like her colleagues on the DC bench, immediately put his firing on hold. ABJ: "Plaintiff Hampton Dellinger shall continue to serve as the Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel, the position he occupied at 7:22 p.m. on Friday, February 7, 2025 when he received an email from the President, and the defendants may not deny him access to the resources or materials of that office or recognize the authority of any other person as Special Counsel." In response to this egregious overreach by another well documented hater of the president, the DOJ asked Berman to put a hold on her own order, which they described as "an extraordinary—indeed, unprecedented—intrusion into the President’s authority." DOJ: "As a result of the Court’s order, a person the President has chosen to remove from office is exercising executive power over the President’s objection. That sort of harm to the Executive, and to the constitutional separation of powers, is transparently irreparable." DOJ also filed an appeal today before DC Circuit--the appeal is being handled by NONE OTHER THAN FLO PAN AND MICHELLE CHILDS--two Biden appointees and two of the four lower court judges responsible for the reckless presidential immunity opinion reversed by SCOTUS in July. Responses due tomorrow.

@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸

Thanks to Obama judge Amy Berman Jackson and SCOTUS, Hampton Dellinger--the Biden family friend and head of Office of Special Counsel--is still on the job despite being fired by the president on Feb. 7. Dellinger insists he is entitled to a five-year term and can only be removed "with cause." The temp restraining order entered by Trump hater ABJ expires tomorrow night. Defenders of Dellinger claim he has no real authority, so the TRO is no biggie. But on the same day SCOTUS refused to vacate the TRO, Dellinger asked the Merit Systems Protection Board to reinstate 6 probationary employees at 6 departments dismissed under Pres Trump's exec order related to DOGE. Probationary govt employees are on the job btw 1-2 years before all their civil service rights kick in. Dellinger claims the president needed to show "cause" on an independent basis for each employee before they could be lawfully terminated. In a 20-page complaint (h/t Kyle Cheney) that looks like a court motion, Dellinger states: "In most cases, probationary employees in the competitive service may only be terminated if their performance or conduct demonstrates that they are unfit for federal employment. If agencies wish to terminate probationary employees not for performance or conduct, but as part of a general restructuring or downsizing, they must initiate a reduction in force (RIF) and follow the relevant procedures for that process." Dellinger wants the MSPB--made up of 3 Biden appointees including the chairwoman who was also reinstated to her post by a DC judge after she also was dismissed--to reinstate the 6 probationary employees for at least 45 days.

@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸

NEW: Hampton Dellinger's lawyers filed a letter at SCOTUS responding to DOJ's letter to SCOTUS detailing how Dellinger was using executive power to reinstate fired federal employees. Dellinger's lawyers astonishingly blame the board who handles his complaints. https://t.co/eFib7xiUiQ

@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸

I was curious why DOJ didn't raise this in the hearing yesterday--perhaps because it hadn't been briefed. But Dellinger sent his requests last Friday and the MSPB granted his requests Tuesday, the day before the hearing. Dellinger now BRAGGING about his success on website https://t.co/WLO5tEwkkG

@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸

To reiterate: the "stay" that Dellinger sought--and to DOJ's point yesterday, the OSC and MSPB act as prosecutor and judge, respectively--was the firing of 6 probationary federal employees who were dismissed under the president's exec order to pare back federal workforce. Dellinger--whose lawyers now laughable claim he's an "inferior" officer and does not report to the president (despite the fact the Office of Special Counsel is nominated by president and confirmed by Senate)--is undoubtedly exercising executive authority to thwart a duly issued presidential directive. Dellinger also indicated this is just the beginning of what the OSC plans to do if he remains in his job. These requests and stays give lawyers representing govt employees in numerous lawsuits against the administration grist for their arguments. "See even the independent OSC and independent MSPB agree these firings are unlawful!" At any rate--at least the president has "for cause" reason to fire Dellinger (again) if that's what it comes to. Shame on SCOTUS for not ending this farce last week. They are directly to blame for the reinstatement of 6 fired federal workers with more to come.

@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸

NEW: DC appellate court decision related to granting Pres Trump's motion to put on hold Judge Amy Berman Jackson's order reinstating Special Counsel Hampton Dellinger is out--and it's a doozy:

@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸

The appellate panel notes how Dellinger--as I first predicted and proved true--used his power to thwart Pres Trump's agenda to reduce the federal workforce "The government has sufficiently demonstrated that Dellinger exercises at least enough authority to contradict the President’s directives. " (Dellinger successfully reinstated 6 probationary federal employees fired by the president and then sought to reinstate thousands of USDA probationary employees fired by the president.) "To be able to obtain the reinstatement of thousands of employees in a single agency, even if only temporarily, with such a vague standard of review seems to suggest the Special Counsel’s powers are not as limited as he claims." Brutal. This is why Dellinger now is trying to abandon his lawsuit against the president for firing him on Feb 7 without cause per the statute.

@julie_kelly2 - Julie Kelly 🇺🇸

More: "Never mind the tension between Dellinger’s assertions that OSC is critically important to the public interest but simultaneously lacks significant executive power. The more obvious problem is that it is not clear how we could balance the Special Counsel’s asserted public interest against the public interest asserted by the rest of the executive branch." My recent explainer here. (And don't forget the "legal experts" who claimed Dellinger could do no harm while he remained in that office temporarily. Multiple judges have now effectively refuted that dumb argument.) https://www.declassified.live/p/hampton-dellinger-unemployed-for?r=4yy1i&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

@floridanow1 - floridanow1

It's DC's Judge Howell again. Judge Howell (Obama appointed) has always fought anything Trump does. Here are five notable rulings by U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell against Donald Trump or his administration: March 12, 2025 - Perkins Coie Executive Order: Howell blocked parts of Trump’s March 6 order targeting Perkins Coie, halting contract terminations and access bans. She ruled it violated free speech and due process, deeming it a loyalty punishment, though security clearance restrictions await further review. November 18, 2022 - Trump Attorney Testimony: Howell ordered Trump lawyers, including Evan Corcoran, to testify in a January 6 probe, rejecting privilege claims. She found evidence of potential crimes (obstruction, fraud) in Mar-a-Lago document handling, advancing Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation. August 31, 2021 - Trump Hotel Records: Howell upheld a House subpoena for Trump Organization’s D.C. hotel financials, dismissing executive privilege. She ruled Congress had a legitimate need to probe conflicts of interest during Trump’s presidency, favoring oversight over privacy claims. December 9, 2022 - Trump Contempt Ruling: Howell held Trump’s office in contempt for failing to fully comply with a grand jury subpoena for classified documents. She imposed no immediate penalty but warned of sanctions, escalating pressure in the Mar-a-Lago investigation. October 29, 2021 - Trump White House Records: Howell rejected Trump’s bid to block January 6 Committee access to White House records, denying executive privilege. She ruled Biden’s waiver and Congress’s need to investigate the Capitol riot outweighed Trump’s claims, releasing call logs and memos.

@KevinMNelsonUSA - Kevin M. Nelson

Spicer v. Biden was the most ingenious and consequential case regarding Presidential authority to terminate employees of the executive branch. A strategic case that the plaintiffs knew they would ultimately lose, resulted in SCOTUS deciding that the President (Biden at the time) had unlimited authority to fire anyone he wanted. Fast forward to 2025, and federal judges are blatantly ignoring this precedent in regard to Trump’s terminations at various agencies. There is no way this judicial activism should stand in light of Spicer v. Biden.

There Is NO RULE OF LAW, Or Equal Protection Under The Law, When State And Federal Judiciary Are Seated Unconstitutionally Via Direct And Indirect Popular Vote, From The Most Populace Counties, And Cities In Those Counties, In All 50 States, Territories And Possessions. That Form Of Government Is A Anti-Republican Unconstitutional Representative Constitutional Democracy. Which Is Unconstitutional As Per Article Four Section Four Of The United States Constitution, Which Says; “Guarantee Clause ARTICLE IV, SECTION 4 The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.” There Are Supposed To Be Three Voices Represented In Our Federal Government, Hence The Three Branches. The Voice Of The People, Represented In State And Federal Houses Of Representatives. The Voice Of The State Represented In State And Federal Senates. The Voice Of The Law, The State And Federal Judiciary. Right Now, Which Is The Problem, The Voice Of The People, Which Is Already Represented In State And Federal Houses Of Representatives, Via Direct Popular Vote. Seats The Voice Of The State And The Law From The Same Voting Pool, Which Is Only The Most Populous Counties, And Cities In Those Counties. That Means, ONLY That Voting Pool Has Any Representation In Our State And Federal Government. And That Form Of Government Is A Unconstitutional Democracy Form Of Government, As Per Article Four Section Four Of The United States Constitution. Which Says The United States Shall Guarantee A Republican Form Of Government To The States, And NOT A MOB Seated Democracy! It Is Impossible To Be A Constitutional Republic, When State And Federal Judiciary Are Seated By Direct And Indirect Popular Vote, ONLY From The Most Populous Counties And Cities In Them Because They Have The Population Density To Do So, That Being THE MOB, The Voice Of The People, Which Also Seats State And Federal Houses Of Representatives, State And Federal Senates, ALL From That Same Pool Of Voters, Directly Or Indirectly. There Is NO Equal Protection Under The Law By Such A Unconstitutional Democratic Form Of State And Federal Government. Being Unconstitutional, As Per Article Four Section Four Of The United States Constitution, Says The United States Shall Guarantee A Republican Form Of Government To The States, Which It Has Not Since 1849, Via Luther v Borden, Which Set Into Motion Other Individual States, Seating State Judiciary Via Direct Popular Vote. What Made The United States The Constitutional Republic We Started Out As Was The Guarantee Of A Republican Form Of Government To The States, Which Means Independent State Judiciary, Seated By The State Senate, State District Court And Above To Include State Supreme Court, As The State Senate Is Representative Of The State As A Whole As The Voice Of The State, Where As The Voice Of The People Is Representative Of The Population Centers, And Cities In Them, As They Have The Population Density To Cancel Out The Rural Areas Of The State. When ALL Of That Is Achieved In All Of The States, That Creates The Constitutional Republic, With The Voice Of The State, Residing In The United States Senate, Seated There To Seat A Independent Federal Judiciary, Those Senators Being Chosen In Full And Open Sessions Of State Legislatures, To Seat Them There. ALL Of THAT Is What Made Us A Constitutional Republic. That Does NOT Exist Today, What Exists In State And Federal Government, Are A Anti-Republican Democratic Form Of State And Federal Government, Masquerading As A Constitutional Republic, Which It Is Not!

Video Transcript AI Summary

The speaker asserts that American constitutional values have been tested in recent years, reminiscent of challenges during the Civil War, Reconstruction, and Jim Crow era. They liken this testing to inflating a balloon, suggesting the rule of law was stretched to its limit, nearly bursting. The speaker emphasizes the importance of courts in upholding the rule of law against arbitrary actions, referencing recent examples. They stress that the Constitution embodies American values in a legal sense. When sentencing, one must consider the defendant's background, acknowledging their unique experiences as a woman, Black individual, transgender person, or someone from a different socioeconomic background. The law must be applied with this understanding.

Speaker 0: So, what's happened over the last four years or so, and at other times in our country's history, going back to the Civil War and Reconstruction and Jim Crow laws, the Civil Rights and during the last four years is that the values that we live by, the constitutional values that form the basis of our country have been tested and our institutions have been tested in ways that I don't think a lot of folks thought would survive. It got tested in the 1800s by a war, and we survived the war, sometimes well and sometimes not so well, but that's for another story. So what we saw the last four years in my mind was a new testing of it. And how I think about it is, it's like a balloon, you know, and and you're blowing up a balloon and and you and you keep pushing that air in. Well, at some point, the balloon's gonna pop. Right? And and and and and it feels like over the last four years with the challenges that have occurred to the rule of law in this country, that we came very close to that balloon popping. But where courts stand and enforce the rule of law that is against arbitrary and capricious actions by, what could be a tyrant or could be what happened. We saw plenty of examples of that recently. And it enforces our values. Our values, in a legal sense, the Constitution. And it's that reason that, and we find there are plenty of examples of a history and there's plenty of examples over the last four years through government actions when you're sentencing someone, when we talk about sentencing, that you have to take a moment and realize that this, you know, middle class white male, privileged person, needs to understand the human being that comes before us that maybe a woman and maybe black, maybe transgender, maybe poor, maybe rich, maybe whatever, may have experiences that aren't yours and you have to walk in their shoes and understand that the law applies to them where they are. And then you have to apply the law accordingly.

🚨 BREAKING: Trump's fired Inspectors General just got CRUSHED in federal court. Here's what you need to know... 1/🧵

@RodDMartin - Rod D. Martin

2/ The DEEP STATE just took a major L today. Eight IGs fired by Trump showed up to federal court thinking they'd get their jobs back. Spoiler alert: They LOST.

@RodDMartin - Rod D. Martin

3/ Judge Ana Reyes -- a Biden appointee! -- didn't mince words: "I don't see how I could reinstate the inspectors general." TRANSLATION: Trump's move to clean house was BULLETPROOF. 💪

@RodDMartin - Rod D. Martin

4/ Let's be CLEAR: These weren't random firings. Trump removed 17 government "watchdogs" just 4 days into his second term. These people had covered for all manner of Deep State wrongdoing. That's called DRAINING THE SWAMP. 🐊

@RodDMartin - Rod D. Martin

5/ The fired IGs are crying about it being "unlawful and unjustified." But FACT CHECK: The President has FULL CONSTITUTIONAL POWER to fire these bureaucrats. It's right there in Article II.📜 And even a Biden judge couldn't find any way around it.

@RodDMartin - Rod D. Martin

6/ The obvious point everyone's missing: If these legal eagles don't believe the Constitution applies to them, they should NEVER have been Inspectors General in the first place! TOTALLY CORRUPT

@RodDMartin - Rod D. Martin

7/ It's WORSE: Congress WEAKENED IG protections in 2022 under BIDEN. Presidents only need a "substantive rationale" to fire IGs now. Even that may be an unconstitutional restriction on Presidential power! These clowns don't understand the law, why are they "enforcing" it? 🤡🤡

@RodDMartin - Rod D. Martin

8/ Remember: These are the same "watchdogs" who stayed SILENT during the Biden crime family scandals. Who covered for Hillary. Who let Crossfire Hurricane and Fast and Furious go down. Now they want sympathy? More like PRISON.

@RodDMartin - Rod D. Martin

9/ BOTTOM LINE: The swamp creatures tried to fight back and LOST. Trump's cleanup continues. More heads will roll. This is just the warmup.

Republicans don't want the illegals removed either. Because if they did, they could stop these Judges.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Another day, another federal court injunction. Here court turned temporary restraining order into an preliminary injunction, prohibiting firings at numerous agencies. 1/ https://t.co/gNnQFFxgW4

🚨 BREAKING: Federal court RE-HIRES Democrat Rebecca Slaughter to the FTC, reversing President Trump's firing of her. The judges are declaring themselves president. Unbelievable. https://t.co/g5aBzlQUKm
