“I will not approve FISA without THE SAVE AMERICA ACT going along with it.”
President Trump’s latest post will rile up the RINOs and Democrats. President Trump will not approve FISA without the SAVE Act and he won’t switch out Bill Pulte after Democrats betrayed their agreement with Republicans.
Donald Trump posted on X today in response to Democrats breaking their deal with Republicans over the nomination of Bill Pulte as Acting Director of National Intelligence. he is canceling the nomination of Jay Clayton, a “great patriot,’ because he doesn’t want him removed from the great job he is doing until Jamie McDonald is approved as U.S. Attorney. Trump has had it with the blue slip nonsense.
Republicans made a deal with Democrats to pass FISA if Pulte was removed as DNI. However, they have now decided to vote against FISA anyway. I guess they thought they won and President Trump would just accept their betrayal.
Finally, for the good of the American people, he will not approve FISA without the Save America Act along with it.
The Post
The Republicans agreed with Dumocrats to remove very fair, and talented, William Pulte, from serving as Acting DNI in return for getting FISA approved by the Dumocrats. However, the Republicans moved so fast with the hearings of the Great Jay Clayton, current U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, that Pulte would be gone before the Dumocrats would vote on FISA.
Now, the Dumocrats are saying they will vote against FISA — So, the Republicans wound up having fulfilled their commitment, but Dumocrats broke the Deal.
In addition, the newly nominated U.S. Attorney, Jamie McDonald, must be confirmed and blue-slipped. Because of the ridiculous views of Republicans on blue slipping (Dumocrats are often willing to nix it), I may not be able to get the extraordinary Sullivan & Cromwell Partner, Jamie, approved, and I don’t want to take Jay Clayton away from the great job he is doing until Jamie is in place.
Therefore, to add a slight bit of intrigue but, for the Good of the Nation, and the People of our Country, I will not approve FISA without THE SAVE AMERICA ACT going along with it.
Not complicated, actually, the Republicans fell into a trap. Regarding the approval of our Great Patriot, Jay Clayton, we are cancelling the Senate Hearing RE: DNI today, and will not be going forward until Jamie McDonald is approved to be U.S. Attorney. In the meantime, Bill Pulte will remain as the Acting Director of National Intelligence. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
