Anchor baby Bill Essayli is in the news. No, he's not being deported. Nor are his parents. When you sell your soul to the devil known as Chump, he doesn't deport you or your parents -- especially when you're ready to break the law for him. Ty Roush (FORBES) reports:
Bill Essayli, the acting U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, on Saturday said he referred Gov. Gavin Newsom to the Secret Service for a “full threat assessment,” after Newsom wrote on social media a jab targeting Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
“We have zero tolerance for direct or implicit threats against government officials,” Essayli wrote on X, adding he “referred this matter” to the Secret Service and requested a “full threat assessment,” though it’s not immediately clear what the assessment would entail.
Essayli responded to an earlier social media post from Newsom, who wrote, “Kristi Noem is going to have a bad day today,” before signing a series of bills protecting California’s immigrant population, including a ban on face coverings for federal agents and a requirement for officers to identify themselves.
A motion needs to be made for Essayli to be disbarred.
He clearly is not qualified to hold public office (which we'll get back to) and he is clearly not qualified to practice the law.
There is no threat -- direct or implicit -- in Gavin's Tweet.
I need to do backstory. I've known Gavin for years and I've noted that here before. Following the 2024 election, Gavin began podcasting. I broke with him over that -- over the transphobia. He's on his own. If he runs for the Democratic Party's presidential slot, I will not campaign for him and I will not vote for him in the primary. If he gets the nomination, I will campaign for him. And vote for him. And I will campaign and vote for whomever the nominee is.
But my last interaction with Gavin regarded that former hairdo which was ridiculous. I have not spoken to him in months and don't plan to.
From time to time, he's noted in a video I repost to this site. Other than that, I haven't written about him since the break.
So this is not me sticking up for a friend.
This is me sticking up for the law and sticking up for responsive government.
Bill Essayli is not qualified for the job he's 'holding.' Again, we'll get to it.
There have been two or three attempts on Donald Chump's life in the last two years. How is helping Chump or the Secret Service from Essayli to being making these frivolous charges that distract from the Secret Service's main duty?
Should he be fired? I believe he has been. But before we get to that, let's note how he's never really been up to the job to begin with. From WIKIPEDIA:
The Los Angeles Times reported that Essayli struggled to secure convictions at grand juries for charges he brought against protestors during the June 2025 Los Angeles protests. By July 23, federal prosecutors brought 38 felony cases against protestors but secured only seven indictments, with many being dismissed or reduced to misdemeanor charges. Three federal law enforcement officers reported to the Times that they overheard a speakerphone conversation in the vicinity of the grand jury room in which Essayli screamed at a prosecutor to ignore the department's Justice Manual and instead to secure indictments as directed by Pam Bondi. The reporting said Essayli's low number of indictments raised concerns among legal experts over the strength of the cases he was filing.[16]
Now let's deal with 'firing.' He's no longer the practicing attorney general overseeing California. Pam Bondi named him that -- without Congressional approval -- on April 1st. Sunday will be 173 days since April 1st.
Do we get the problem or do I need to do a slow walk through? Think Alina Haba, if you're confused.
Here's what the law in question says, per the US Justice Dept:
28 U.S. Code § 546
(c) A person appointed as United States attorney under this section may serve until the earlier of—
Get it? His 'term' has expired. Sunday will be 53 days after his term expired. As a California tax payer and a US tax payer, I want him to pay for every day after 120 that he has (mis)used office space. His term has expired. We should not be paying for his office space of his 'on the job' transportation (his job is over).
He has refused to follow laws and regulations which is why the cases he's brought have not resulted in convictions. He has tossed aside the laws and regulations to serve at the whims of Bimbo Bondi. That doesn't cut it. And, again, he should be disbarred.
Right now what needs to happen is Gavin Newsom needs to bring a lawsuit against him. That way, when it moves to discovery, we can find out whether it's just Essayli that's an idiot who doesn't understand the law and that's why he filed this frivolous claim against Gavin or whether Pam Bondi ordered Essayli to waste all of our time (and tax dollars and divert the attention of the Secret Service's resources to a non-issue).
This is important all on its own. But it also important in light of what's just emerged today. Rebecca's covered that tonight with "corruption is always around chump." Here's Ben covering the issue for MEIDASTOUCH NEWS.
Maya Yang and Robert Mackey (GUARDIAN) explain:
The FBI reportedly recorded Donald Trump’s border czar Tom Homan accepting $50,000 in cash from undercover agents who were posing as business contractors last year.
A new report from MSNBC on Saturday reveals that the agents recorded Homan, six weeks before the 2024 election, allegedly promising to assist in securing government contracts across the border security industry during Trump’s second term.
Six sources familiar with the matter told MSNBC that the FBI and justice department – then run by Joe Biden’s administration – had intended to hold off and assess whether Homan would follow through on his alleged promises after he was appointed as Trump’s border czar. However, the investigation stalled after Trump took office, and in recent weeks, officials appointed by Trump decided to close the case, according to MSNBC.
[. . .]
Homan was captured on video accepting $50,000 in cash at a meeting spot in Texas on 20 September 2024, according to an internal summary of the case reviewed by MSNBC and sources who spoke to the outlet.
Four sources familiar with the matter told MSNBC that multiple federal officials believed they had a solid criminal case against Homan for conspiracy to commit bribery. However, since Homan was not a public official at the time he accepted the money and Trump had not yet become president, his actions did not meet the criteria for a standard bribery charge.
Officials eventually decided to continue monitoring Homan once he joined Trump’s second presidential administration. MSNBC reports that officials had been looking at four potential criminal charges including conspiracy, bribery and two kinds of fraud, before Trump’s new justice department shut down the investigation.
Pam Bimbo Bondi and Ka$h Patel need to explain to the American people how dropping the case was "justice." Because what it looks like is they weren't interested in justice, they were just scratching one another's backs and practicing The Laws Are For Thee Not For Me.
Now I wanted to cover other things as well but Isaiah's already done a comic on this corruption and I want to get it up here. It'll be up one hour after this posts.
