Ok Aaron Podhurst is a liar too. A left wing democrat Castro hater. Communist dictator hating used to be a proud tradition of democrats. Last of the breed maybe.

How can the U.S. Justice Department (INF) invade a private residence and then issue NO FINES and NO ARREST WARRANTS? Maybe because no laws were being broken? This is an absolute abuse of power by the executive branch. If the boy or his guardians had been shot and killed (as Janet's soldiers were threatening), there would be outrage and Clinton would have to resign, and likely be jailed. I don't understand why some Pinko absentee father's parental rights come before the rights of U.S. Citizens to privacy in their own homes. My God, Janet was prepared to murder then entire family if necessary! What about all the U.S. fathers who, for whatever reason, cannot see their children while the court system plods along. Is Janet Reno going to arbitrarily select cases and choose sides and launch invasions? If not, why not? There's no reason why the father couldn't have waited a few more weeks or even months, rather than risking his son's life like this. The kid was in no imminent danger whatsoever. But the most unfortunate part of all of this is the precedent that has been set: U.S. citizens are now subject to random invasion in their own homes by the federal government, even when they are not breaking any laws.
