The future casts a shadow on the present
Contributed by A. Reader
Who better to represent Canada than Mark Wiseman former senior managing director and global head of active equities at BlackRock Inc. in New York.
NEW YORK, May 20, 2024 (Reuters) – BlackRock (BLK.N) was sued for $20 million by a whistleblowing former vice president who said it fired him after he objected to a colleague’s self-dealing, and was forced to shut down a search engine for monitoring client discussions about illegal investments, including in China.
In a complaint on Saturday, Hamdan Azhar said the world’s largest asset manager ordered him in March 2022 to stop work on Trend Spotter, which he had developed, and transfer his projects to Rightpoint, where the husband of former boss Tiffany Perkins-Munn worked.
…The New York-based company ended March with $10.5 trillion of assets under management.
…Last summer, the bipartisan House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party began seeking information on whether BlackRock and index provider MSCI (MSCI.N) facilitated investments into blacklisted Chinese companies.
In April, the committee found that Wall Street, through index fund investments, channeled $6.5 billion in 2023 into 63 Chinese companies flagged by the U.S. government for supporting China’s military or human rights abuses.
The committee called the activity “not illegal,” and urged Congress to pass laws restricting such investments. BlackRock and MSCI have said they complied with U.S. laws.
Azhar said he joined BlackRock in February 2020 as head of data science for global marketing.
His lawsuit in New York state court in Manhattan seeks $10 million each in compensatory damages and punitive damages for violating state labor law...
Prominent Canadian businessman and lawyer Mark Wiseman will leave BlackRock amid a violation of the company’s policy on relationships in the workplace, Bloomberg News reported.
Wiseman’s departure effectively ends his career as a possible CEO contender at the global investment firm, which he joined in 2016 after serving as CEO of CPP Investment Board.
What is the CPP Investment Bank?
CPP Investments (formerly Canada Pension Plan Investment Board) isn’t a traditional “bank” but a massive, independent, Crown corporation that professionally manages the funds of the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) to ensure long-term retirement security for over 22 million Canadians, investing globally in public stocks, real estate, infrastructure, and private equity to grow the fund beyond government reach.
Beyond government reach?
What They Do:
- “Investment Management: They act as a global asset manager, investing the CPP Fund across diverse asset classes like public equities, private equity, real estate, infrastructure, and fixed income.“Long-Term Focus: Their primary goal is to maximize long-term returns for the CPP fund without undue risk, operating at arm’s length from the government.”“Fund Sustainability: They ensure the CPP remains sustainable for future generations by growing the contributions made by working Canadians and their employers.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Wiseman
In 2014, Wiseman co-founded the Century Initiative with Dominic Barton. It is a charity focused on increasing Canada’s population to 100 million by 2100...
In 2016, as a member of then finance minister Bill Morneau‘s Advisory Council on Economic Growth, both Wiseman and Dominic Barton advocated for increasing immigration targets to 450,000 a year, with a focus on top business talent and international students, in order to “raise the living standards for all Canadians.” Wiseman and the council argued that without significant immigration changes Canada would fall outside the top 45 nations in population by 2100 and would become “increasingly irrelevant over time.” In 2016, Canada was ranked 38th by population, lower than countries such as Thailand, Mexico, and Uganda.
From 2016 to 2019, Wiseman was a Senior Managing Director at BlackRock, Global Head of Active Equities, Chairman of its alternatives business, and Chairman of BlackRock’s Global Investment Committee. He was also on BlackRock’s Global Executive Committee. On December 5, 2019, Wiseman was fired from his position at BlackRock following a failure to report a consensual relationship with a subordinate employee under his reporting line. in violation of the company’s relationship at work policy.
Wiseman stated in an internal memo “I engaged in a consensual relationship with one of our colleagues without reporting it. I regret my mistake and I accept responsibility for my actions.“
And now?
1/ Mr Carney’s best friend is Canada’s Ambassador to the US and chief trade negotiator. Hardly American at all!
2/ Given their wildly enthusiastic corporate promise that AI will all but eliminate millions of “useless” human employment, where will those new 60 million immigrants find work?
3/ It might matter. No?

Now is the winter of our discontent
Carney taps business executive Mark Wiseman to serve as Canada's ambassador to the U.S.
Canada's new top diplomat is a longtime friend of the prime minister
Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Monday that business executive Mark Wiseman will serve as Canada's ambassador to the U.S. — a figure with cross-border bona fides but a controversial pick, nonetheless, due to some of his past comments about Quebec.
Wiseman, a longtime friend of the prime minister who has held senior roles at some of the country's largest pension funds, takes over for the departing Kirsten Hillman on Feb. 15, 2026.
Wiseman is headed to Washington at a pivotal time. In the months since U.S. President Donald Trump launched his trade war on Canada, the relationship has been badly frayed — and there could be more tension on the horizon when the two sides hash out a resolution in the new year.
"Mark Wiseman brings immense experience, contacts, and deep commitment at this crucial time of transformation of our relationship with the United States. As a core member of our negotiating team, he will help advance the interests of Canadian workers, businesses, and institutions, while building opportunities for both Canada and the United States," Carney said in a statement.
Wiseman will be tasked with helping lead the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) review talks, which are expected to get underway in January.
As part of those discussions, Wiseman will try to help broker some relief from the punishing tariffs Trump has imposed on goods coming from some key Canadian sectors, like steel, aluminum, autos and lumber.
Trump's trade representative, Jamieson Greer, has already laid out what he expects to see from Canada to successfully negotiate an extension of that pact, including changes to supply management as well as laws that protect Canadian culture, which U.S. tech giants have strenuously opposed. He also wants to see a dismantling of provincial bans on U.S. liquor brands.
Greer told Congress that CUSMA has been "successful to a certain degree" but that amendments are needed before Trump agrees to extend it for another 16 years or revert to yearly reviews, something Canada is eager to avoid given the resulting annual uncertainty.
Wiseman, born in the border town of Niagara Falls, Ont., is no stranger to these irritants.
Among Carney's first decisions after being sworn in earlier this year was naming Wiseman to the Prime Minister’s Council on Canada-U.S. Relations, a body first created by former prime minister Justin Trudeau just as Trump was about to be sworn in as president for the second time.
Experience in 'all different sectors'
In an interview with CBC News, David Paterson, Ontario's representative to the U.S., welcomed Wiseman's appointment, saying his business acumen will be useful in the months to come as the CUSMA renewal talks intensify.
"I think we're in a six-month sprint right now to July 1 to try and solve as many of those issues, largely sectoral issues, as we can by that date so that we can see this deal move forward," Paterson said, referring to Greer's list of conditions that must be met before renewing CUSMA.
"Wiseman's understanding of investment as a financial person, he's got experience looking into all different sectors. I think that'll be a help," he said.
The incoming ambassador's close relationship with the prime minister is also a plus, Paterson said, as it means Wiseman can speak with some authority.
"It's so encouraging and important that the prime minister has developed a good rapport with the president — that's particularly important here. So having somebody that is in close, regular conversation with the prime minister in this role is going to be absolutely essential."
While Ontario has its own concerns about the state of the trade negotiations — the province wants Ottawa to be more focused on averting U.S. efforts to torpedo the auto sector — Paterson said he's confident the Carney-Wiseman duo are well-placed to land a deal when the time comes.
"We'll be there 100 per cent behind the new ambassador to make sure that he's successful," he said.
Concerns in Quebec
While Wiseman may have Ontario's support, at least one province has raised red flags about the appointment.
Wiseman's past public musings on supply management make him a controversial pick in some circles, notably in Quebec where there is a contingent of politically active dairy farmers determined to keep that regime in place.
Wiseman previously said supply management, which protects the domestic dairy industry from some imports and guarantees farmers a minimum price for their products, benefits a "group of settled players," impedes innovation and keeps "prices artificially high for Canadian consumers."
Those comments have prompted concern that Wiseman will be a half-hearted defender of supply management when Trump and his team put it on the table for negotiation.
Carney, Ford respond to questions about U.S. demands ahead of CUSMA reviewSpeaking to reporters earlier this month amid reports Wiseman could get the U.S. job, Pascal Paradis, a Parti Québécois member of Quebec's National Assembly, said his nomination would be "unacceptable" for Quebec.
"The Parti Québécois will never accept the nomination of Mark Wiseman as Canada's ambassador to the U.S. Why? Because Mark Wiseman is not a friend of the Quebec nation," Paradis said at a news conference in Quebec City.
Carney has been adamant that supply management is safe on his watch.
"We've been clear about our approach to supply management. We continue to stand by that. We will continue to protect supply management," the prime minister said at a news conference last week after Greer's conditions for the CUSMA review were released.
Wiseman also serves as chairman of the Century Initiative, a non-profit that calls for more immigration to boost Canada's economy. Two years ago, he posted an article with an eyebrow-raising headline on social media — "100 million Canadians by 2100 may not be federal policy, but it should be – even if it makes Quebec howl," is how that Globe and Mail column read and what he reposted on X.
That prompted Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre to say Wiseman is "someone who has shown contempt for Quebec and who cannot negotiate on behalf of Quebec."
Bloc Québécois House leader Christine Normandin also took issue with the use of the word "howl," which she said is something dogs do.
But Wiseman's job will have very little, if anything, to do with immigration levels. His attention will be focused on securing a successful CUSMA review with unpredictable Trump.
Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney, a Conservative, said that's what Wiseman is well-suited to do.
The two worked together when Wiseman was the head of Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo), a Crown corporation that invests tens of billions of dollars worth of funds generated from the province's oil resources and public pension plans.
"Mark is one of Canada’s top private sector finance experts who is an effective dealmaker. He’s the kind of guy who could get down to brass tacks and defend our interests effectively in dealing with the Trump administration," Kenney said, prior to Wiseman's appointment being confirmed.
Richard Shimooka, a senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, said the trust Carney and Wiseman have developed over years of friendship will be useful during what is expected to be tense negotiations during the Trump administration.
While Hillman was widely respected, she was a Trudeau appointee, and Wiseman said Carney is entitled to his own hand-picked ambassador.
Plus, the wealthy Wiseman is a good fit for the administration he's poised to deal with, Shimooka said.
Looking at Trump's cabinet, "there's a large number of people in there who are in the economic upper crust," he said. "Wiseman has the ability to go to these people and speak their language."
Either way, Wiseman's negotiation skills — and patience — will be put to the test with the sometimes erratic Trump, Shimooka said.
"This is not going to be easy. You can have an agreement on policy one day and the next day, it's gone."

Senator Klobuchar and Canadian Ambassador Mark Wiseman
WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) met with the new Canadian Ambassador to the United States, Mark Wiseman.
“The Ambassador and I had a productive conversation about the key issues facing our countries, including the tariffs that are raising prices throughout Canada and the United States,” said Klobuchar. “Canada is not just Minnesota’s neighbor — they are our number one trading partner and close friend, and I look forward to working with the Ambassador to further strengthen our economic and security ties.”
Last month, Senator Klobuchar met with a delegation of Canadian Members of Parliament who participate in the Canada-U.S. Inter-Parliamentary Group (IPG) and stressed her support for strengthening the United States’ relationship with Canada and her opposition to the administration’s tariffs, which harm American businesses, increase costs, and threaten Minnesota jobs.
Klobuchar, along with Senators Tim Kaine (D-VA) and Raphael Warnock (D-GA), also introduced the Reclaim Trade Powers Act, legislation to end the President’s latest 10 percent tariffs on most goods by repealing Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974.
In February, legislation to repeal President Trump’s International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) tariffs on Canada was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives. In October, similar bipartisan legislation led by Senators Klobuchar, Kaine, Paul and Warner passed the Senate 50-46.

BlackRock didn't sack Mark Wiseman for consensual sex
BlackRock moves quickly. It only emerged yesterday that Mark Wiseman, global head of equities, was leaving as a result of 'a consensual relationship' with a colleague and already all trace of him has disappeared from the corporate leadership page. Wiseman has been wiped.
Cue cries of outrage. How can a 48-year-old man have his career derailed by 'relations' with another consenting adult? BlackRock is being overly 'sanctimonious', according to some of Wiseman's defenders. It's also, maybe, shooting itself in the foot: Wiseman was hired externally in 2016 to turn around BlackRock's bleeding equities division and to add some new blood to the race to succeed chairman and chief executive Larry Fink. Without Wiseman, BlackRock will reportedly need to suspend deals some activity in its private equity fund. Without Wiseman, BlackRock is also left with a list of Fink successors who rose up through the ranks and who make the race look a little incestuous.
BlackRock had, however, no choice but to bump Wiseman off. In the first place, he contravened the sacrosanct BlackRock code of conduct which says you have to report relationships with colleagues. In the second place, Wiseman's wife of 23 years, with whom he has two children, also works at BlackRock. And she was there first.
Marcia Moffat is the sort of successful woman with a background in neuroscience and a career in asset management who doesn't take her husband's name. Moffat joined BlackRock in the summer of 2015 to head BlackRock's Canadian business. Her spouse joined a year later.
In an interview last year with Financial News, Wiseman said he'd been speaking to Fink about a potential job for a while and was surprised when his wife went there first: “It was almost like friends talking to each other...Then along the way they hired my spouse. When they hired her I thought I would be the one who one day worked at BlackRock.”
Now Marcia is still at BlackRock and Mark is gone. As man who apparently likes routine, buys endless pairs of identical shoes and - presumably until recently - lived in the same house for many decades, Mark Wiseman might now be feeling a bit adrift. Then again, he told Financial Times last year that it's necessarily to 'evolve if you don't want to get eaten.' As a middle-aged man with a two decade-old relationship, evolving into a relationship with a junior colleague might have seemed natural. That doesn't make it wise or right.

MFS Mutual Fund Fraud Litigation
| Court: | United States District Court for the District of Maryland |
| Case Number: | 04-md-15863 |
| Class Period: | 12/15/1998 - 12/08/2003 |
Following a hearing on May 3, 2004 in the massive mutual fund litigation, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland appointed BLB&G client the City of Chicago Deferred Compensation Plan as Lead Plaintiff in the securities fraud class action against Massachusetts Financial Services Company ("MFS"), the investment advisor to the MFS Funds, and others.
On March 1, 2006, the Court sustained the Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint, allowing the case to move forward against certain defendants.
SUMMARY OF ALLEGATIONS:
The Complaint in this litigation alleges that MFS and certain of its senior executives were aware of, engaged in and facilitated "timing" trades in the MFS Funds: a money-making act involving short-term trading in and out of a mutual fund. The technique is designed to exploit inefficiencies in the way mutual fund companies price their shares by allowing certain customers to trade shares at distorted prices that no longer reflect the true value of the fund. As a result, those few customers permitted to engage in market timing typically reap huge profits, the cost of which are borne primarily by the long-term investors in the relevant fund.
The public filings issued by the Defendants stated that, "MFS funds do not permit market-timing or other excessive trading practices that may disrupt portfolio management strategies and may harm fund performance." In reality, however, the Defendants knew, or recklessly disregarded, the fact that trades were being timed and that these timed trades negatively and materially impacted the MFS Funds, thereby causing significant losses to investors in the MFS Funds.
On February 5, 2004, MFS agreed to entry of a cease and desist order by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") against MFS and John W. Ballen ("Ballen"), MFS's current chief executive officer, and Kevin R. Parke ("Parke"), MFS's current president and chief investment officer ("Cease and Desist Order"). Specifically, the SEC found that MFS, Ballen and Parke allowed widespread market timing trading in certain MFS Funds from at least late 1999 through October 2003, in contravention of the Funds' public disclosures. In particular, MFS explicitly informed certain select brokers in a written memo that "unrestricted" trading would be permitted in certain MFS funds (known internally at MFS as "Unrestricted Funds"), including the Massachusetts Investors Growth Stock Fund, "even if a pattern of excessive trading has been detected." Not only did MFS selectively enforce its market-timing policies, but executives at MFS facilitated the frequent trading in and out of certain MFS Funds by steering select investors to these "Unrestricted Funds." As the Cease and Desist Order confirms, as much as $2 billion in timing money flowed into MFS Funds during the Class Period.
Internal MFS documents and policies acknowledged that market timing was detrimental to long-term shareholders. In fact, as early as June 2000, an internal presentation entitled "Market Timing Wheel of Terror," warned that "[l]ong term investors are being penalized" by market timing activity. Nevertheless, the market timing activity persisted in the MFS "Unrestricted Funds." Moreover, MFS's select enforcement of its trading policies also included late trading, which alone caused well over $100 million in investor losses. And, as further alleged in the complaint, various brokers and financial institutions also participated in the market timing schemes, to the detriment of ordinary investors.
MFS's policy of allowing market-timing and steering select investors to the "Unrestricted Funds" was adopted as a means to increase profits by luring market timing assets so as to increase funds under management, and, therefore, increase fees paid to MFS for investment advisory services. These additional assets under management also resulted in an increased bonus pool from which MFS employees, including Ballen and Parke, were paid excessive compensation. During this period, none of the above detailed material information was disclosed to the members of the Class. In addition to the profits from their market timing, MFS also profited by charging ordinary investors hundreds of millions of dollars in management fees while breaching their fiduciary duties to those very same investors.
On May 20, 2010, the Court preliminarily approved proposed settlements, totaling $75,042,250, that would resolve this litigation. On October 25, 2010, the Court entered Judgments granting final approval to the settlements and entered separate Orders granting Plaintiffs' Counsel's application for an award of attorneys' fees and expenses and approving the Plan of Allocation of the settlement proceeds.
The claims administration process has concluded and the net settlement fund has been fully disbursed. This matter is considered closed.

REVIEW OF CURRENT INVESTIGATIONS
AND REGULATORY ACTIONS REGARDING
THE MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2003
U.S. SENATE,
COMMITTEE ON BANKING, HOUSING, AND URBAN AFFAIRS,
Washington, DC.
The Committee met at 10 a.m. in room SD–538 of the Dirksen
Senate Office Building, Senator Richard C. Shelby (Chairman of
the Committee) presiding.
OPENING STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN RICHARD C. SHELBY
Chairman SHELBY. The hearing shall come to order.
This hearing is part of the Committee’s ongoing oversight of the
mutual fund industry. Today, the Committee will review current
investigations and enforcement proceedings and examine regu-
latory actions taken to date in order to fully inform and guide the
Banking Committee’s consideration of possible legislative reform.
On September 30, 2003, this Committee first examined the scope
of problems confronting the mutual fund industry. At that time,
Chairman Donaldson testified about the SEC’s ongoing enforce-
ment actions and described the SEC’s regulatory blueprint for
adopting new regulations aimed at improving the transparency of
fund operations and stopping abusive trading practices. Since
Chairman Donaldson’s testimony, we have learned that improper
fund trading practices are a widespread problem that fund insiders,
brokers, and privileged clients have profited from at the expense of
average investors.
In early September, New York Attorney General Spitzer uncov-
ered arrangements through which brokers facilitated improper
trades for their clients in certain prominent mutual funds in ex-
change for large, fee generating investments. Since this initial set-
tlement, we have learned the extent to which both intermediaries,
such as brokers, and fund executives have engaged in illicit trading
activities. We have read about the backhanded ways by which the
brokers colluded with their customers to disguise improper trade
orders to make them appear legitimate, thus evading detection by
mutual fund policing systems.
Even in situations where mutual funds attempted to halt im-
proper trading activity, certain brokers created fictitious names
and account numbers to fool fund compliance officers and to con-
tinue trading. Recent investigations have also revealed that mutual
fund executives and portfolio managers have actively engaged in
improper trading activity. And these allegations are particularly
troubling because fund executives and portfolio managers have
represented themselves as protecting client assets, but they failed
by either knowingly permitting improper trading by brokers or
actively engaging in illegal trading activities themselves.
Such practices may not only violate prospectus disclosures, but
also violate the fiduciary duties that funds owe to their share-
holders—the duties to treat all shareholders equitably and to pro-
tect shareholder interests. Further, regulators have indicated that
they may soon file charges against funds that have selectively
disclosed portfolio information to certain privileged investors and
fund executives that may have engaged in illegal insider trading by
acting on the basis of nonpublic information.
As this Committee made clear during Chairman William H.
Donaldson’s September 30 appearance here, a regulatory response
to improper trading activities is just one of the many actions that
the SEC must take to address the many troubling issues that have
come to light in the mutual fund industry. This Committee remains
concerned with the transparency of fund operations and ensuring
that investors can learn how their fund is being managed. It has
become very, very apparent that many of the questionable fund
practices that are now being examined are not just the result of a
few bad actors, but are longstanding industry practices that have
largely gone unregulated and not well disclosed to, or understood
by, most investors.
Therefore, this Committee must take a comprehensive look, I be-
lieve, at the industry to determine if the industry’s operations and
practices are consistent with investors’ interests and the greater
interests of the market. It may be that we must consider possible
realignment of interests to ensure that mutual funds are operating
as efficiently and fairly as the market and investors demand. We
will examine fund disclosure practices regarding fees, trading costs,
sales commissions, and portfolio holdings. So, we will continue to
question the conflicts of interest surrounding the relationship be-
tween the investment adviser and the fund and how potential
changes to fund governance and disclosure practices may minimize
these conflicts.
We will also focus on fund sales practices to ensure that brokers
sell suitable investments to their clients, provide adequate disclo-
sure of any sales incentives, and give clients any breakpoint dis-
counts to which they are entitled.
Chairman Donaldson has told this Committee that the SEC has
the necessary statutory authority to reform the mutual fund indus-
try and is in the process of conducting a comprehensive rulemak-
ing. As we have learned in other contexts, however, additional reg-
ulation is not the only answer. Late trading is clearly illegal and
market timing is actively deterred and policed. Despite prohibitions
and warnings, these activities continued unabated because of the
inadequate compliance and enforcement regimes at the SEC, the
mutual funds and the brokers. Whether due to a lack of resources
or other pressing priorities, mutual fund abuses simply did not re-
ceive adequate attention from the SEC. Although recent enforce-
ment actions indicate that priorities have changed, we need to
and halt future fund abuses.
Vigorous enforcement remains the key to restoring integrity to
the fund industry, and Attorney General Spitzer’s timely actions
once again demonstrate, I believe, the significant role that States
play in prosecuting fraud and abuse in the securities markets. Re-
gardless of the number of rules or amount of resources, it would
be impractical to expect the SEC to detect every single fraud and
manipulation in the fund industry. Therefore, the mutual funds
and the brokerage houses themselves must proactively adopt new
compliance measures to detect fraud and abuse. For many years,
participants in the mutual fund industry maintain industry ‘‘best
practices.’’ These practices, however, have clearly proven to be in-
adequate as brokers and funds have disregarded conflicts of inter-
est and colluded at the expense of investors without detection.
Although funds and brokers owe different types of duties to their
investors, both groups have an obligation to refrain from knowingly
ignoring their clients’ interests and profiting at their expense.
With over 95 million investors and $7 trillion—yes, $7 trillion—
in assets, mutual funds have always been perceived as the safe
investment option for average investors. America has become a Na-
tion of investors, but there is no doubt that recent revelations
about mutual funds have caused very many to question the per-
ceived fairness of the industry. Many are surprised to learn that
the mutual fund industry is plagued by the same conflict that was
at the root of the Enron scandal and the global settlement—one set
of profitable rules for insiders and another costly set for average
investors.
Beyond the legal concepts of fiduciary duties and transparency,
there is a more fundamental principle that should underlie the
operation of the mutual fund industry and our securities markets
in general.
This principle is that securities firms and mutual funds should
not neglect investors’ interests and knowingly profit at their ex-
pense. Until firms can demonstrate an ability to abide by this
ideal, investors will not trust the markets, nor should they. In our
own way, Congress, the SEC and regulators, and industry partici-
pants must collectively work to reform the mutual fund industry in
order to restore investor confidence. I believe, we must reassure in-
vestors that mutual funds are a vehicle in which they can safely
invest their money and not fall victim to financial schemes. The
mutual fund industry is simply too important to too many Ameri-
cans to do otherwise.
Examining the mutual fund industry is a priority for this Com-
mittee, and I look forward to working with my fellow Committee
Members, especially Senators Enzi, Dodd, and Corzine, all of whom
have already expressed significant interest in this issue.
Our first witness today is Chairman Bill Donaldson, and on the
second panel we will hear from Matthew Fink, President of the In-
vestment Company Institute, and Marc Lackritz, President of the
Securities Industry Association.
Now, I will call on my Members.
Senator Sarbanes.

“REVIEW OF CURRENT INVESTIGATIONS AND REGULATORY ACTIONS
REGARDING THE MUTUAL FUND INDUSTRY:
FUND OPERATIONS AND GOVERNANCE”
COMMITTEE ON BANKING, HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS
UNITED STATES SENATE
Committee for this opportunity to present my views on appropriate reforms for the mutual fund
industry.
My name is Robert C. Pozen and I am from Boston, Massachusetts. I am currently
Chairman of MFS Investment Management, which manages approximately $140 billion for
approximately 370 accounts including over 100 mutual funds serving approximately six million
investors. I am also a visiting professor at Harvard Law School and author of the textbook The
Mutual Fund Business (2 ed. Houghton Mifflin 2001).
I commend the Committee for engaging in a deliberative and broad-ranging review of the
operations and regulation of the mutual fund industry. While I welcome questions about any
aspect of the fund industry, I will limit my testimony today to three areas where I believe that MFS is helping to set important new standards for the fund industry:
The current system of paying for goods and services with “soft dollars”, taken out of
brokerage commissions, is detrimental to mutual fund shareholders. The use of “soft dollar”
payments makes it virtually impossible for a fund manager to ascertain the true costs of executing trades because execution costs are bundled together with the costs of other goods and services such as research reports and Bloomberg terminals. If these costs were unbundled, then fund managers could pay cash out of their own pockets for independent research or market data, and could negotiate for lower execution prices for fund shareholders.
broker on Wall Street, the trader pays five cents a share for execution plus a broad range of
goods or services from the executing broker or third parties: e.g., securities research, market data and brokerage allocations to promote fund sales. These goods and services are paid in “soft dollars”: that is, they are bundled into the five cents per share charge in a non- transparent
1 of 6
be required to pay five cents per share by the full-service broker.
In other words, it is almost impossible to obtain a price discount from a full-service
Wall Street firm for executing a large fund trade. However, that firm is willing to provide an in-kind
discount in the form of soft dollars that can be used to purchase various goods or services. This is
more than a technical pricing oddity. The key point is this: a price discount on the trade (for
example, from five cents to three cents per share) would go directly to the mutual fund and its
shareholders. In-kind services like market data services go directly to the fund management
company and only indirectly to the mutual fund and its shareholders.
MFS has already eliminated the use of “soft dollars” to promote sales of mutual fund
shares. Since January 1, 2004, MFS has been paying cash out of its own pocket to broker-
dealers to promote fund sales. While the SEC has proposed a rule to this effect, MFS has
switched from soft dollars to cash to promote fund sales regardless of whether and when the SEC
adopts its rule.
More dramatically, earlier this month MFS decided to stop using soft dollars to pay for
third-party research1 and market data. Again MFS will pay cash out of its own pocket for these
items. MFS estimates that this decision will cost the management company $10 to $15 million per
year. Yet MFS has agreed not to raise its advisory fees for its funds over the next five years.
Why is MFS willing to take the lead on getting off the addiction to soft dollars and moving to the healthy environment of price discounts?
1 We are not stopping the use of “soft dollars” for proprietary research and other services. Only recently has the SEC issued a concept release on accounting for all the elements of a bundled commission. SEC Release IC-26313 (Dec. 19, 2003).

MFS will issue an individualized quarterly statement, rather than a general listing of fund expenses in basis points, which will show each fund shareholder a reasonable estimate of his or her actual fund expenses in dollar terms.
various categories of fund expenses in basis points. The table might say, for instance:
Advisory Fee 53 bp
Transfer Agency Fee 10 bp
Other Fees 2 bp
12 b-1 Fee 25 bp
Total Expenses 90 bp
Nevertheless, some critics have argued that mutual fund investors need customized
expense statements. By that, these critics mean the actual expenses paid by a shareholder in
period. For example, we would have to compute the exact expenses of a shareholder who held
Fund A from January 15 until March 31 without reinvesting fund dividends; another shareholder
who held Fund B for the whole year and reinvested all fund dividends; and yet another
shareholder who held Fund C from February 1 until June 15 as well as from August 22 until
December 11 (during both periods, assuming no record date for fund dividends occurred).
This type of customized expense statement would, in my opinion, involve enormous
computer programming costs. The program would have to track the holdings of every fund
shareholder on a daily basis, take into account whether a fund dividend was reinvested or paid
out to the shareholder, and apply monthly basis point charges to fund balances reflecting monthly
appreciation or depreciation of fund assets. Of course, these large computer costs would
ultimately be passed on to fund shareholders.
At MFS, we will provide every fund shareholder with an estimate of his or her actual
expenses on their quarterly statements.2 We can do this at an affordable cost by making one
reasonable assumption—that the fund holdings of the shareholder at the end of the quarter were
the same throughout the quarter. Although this is a simplifying assumption, it produces a good
estimate of actual fund expenses since most shareholders do not switch funds during a quarter.
Indeed, this assumption will often lead to a slightly higher estimate of individualized expenses
than the actual amount because some shareholders will buy the fund during the quarter and other
shareholders will reinvest fund dividends during the quarter.
In addition, MFS will send its shareholders in every fund’s semi-annual report the
total amount of brokerage commissions paid by the fund during the relevant period as well as the
fund’s average commission rate per share (for example, 4.83 cents per share on average). But
this information on brokerage commissions should be separated from the fund expense table
because all the other items in the table are ordinary expenses expressed in basis points. By
contrast, brokerage commissions are a capital expense added to the tax basis of the securities
held by the fund, and brokerage commissions are expressed in cents per share.
2 These individualized expenses will not include brokerage costs because they are capitalized in the cost of the portfolio
security.

The mutual fund industry has a unique governance structure: the fund is a separate entity from its external manager. The independent directors of the fund must annually approve the
terms and conditions of the fund’s contract with its external manager. Of course, the independent directors usually reappoint the management company. In an industrial company, how often do the directors throw out the whole management team? But the independent directors of most mutual funds, in my experience, do represent fund shareholders by negotiating for contract terms and monitoring potential conflicts of interest.
industry. To begin with, over 75% of the board is comprised of independent directors, who elect their own independent chairman. The chairman leads the executive sessions of independent directors, which occur before or after every board meeting. The independent chairman also helps set the board’s agenda for each meeting. A lead independent director could definitely take charge of the executive sessions and a lead director could also help set the board’s agenda. Thus, it
does not matter which title is employed; the key is to insure that a senior independent director
plays these two functions.
In many boards, the independent directors have their own independent counsel, as
the MFS boards do. But the independent directors of the MFS funds are going one step further by
appointing their own compliance officer. This officer will monitor all compliance activities by MFS
as well as supervise the fund’s own activities, and will report regularly to the Compliance
Committee of the Board (which itself is composed solely of independent directors).
On the management company side, MFS is the only company I know of that has a
non-executive chairman reporting to the independent directors of the MFS funds. This is a new
position designed to assure that the management company is fully accountable to the funds’
independent directors.
Finally, MFS as a management company has established the new position of Executive Vice President for Regulatory Affairs, and filled the position with a distinguished industry veteran. In addition, MFS has hired a distinguished law firm partner as its new general
5 of 6
This high profile position within MFS is more than symbolic; it represents the great significance
given by MFS to these regulatory functions. While these functions are performed in most fund
management companies, it is rare to see the person in charge of these functions having the title of executive vice president and serving on the executive committee of the firm.
Conclusions
In summary, MFS is trying to establish standards of best practices in three important
areas to fund shareholders:
proposing and adopting a myriad of rules on disclosure requirements and substantive prohibitions or the fund industry—which overlap to a degree with the efforts of the fund management firms.
Because the SEC and the management firms are making such serious efforts to develop
higher behavioral norms for the mutual fund industry, it might be useful for Congress to monitor these efforts before finalizing a bill on mutual fund reforms. These are complex issues that may be better suited to an evolutionary process, led by an expert public agency with the flexibility to address the changing legal and factual environment.

After ICE surge, how the Red Wing community rebuilds
- Apr 3, 2026
In Lucy Richardson’s office at Hispanic Outreach of Goodhue County, the whiteboard sitting next to the conference table listed three items: a timeline for when the afterschool program restarts, scheduling for food delivery and a reminder for employees to take time off.
The afterschool program, the only typical item on that list for Hispanic Outreach, tabbed Monday as the day it would resume. The question mark next to it underscored some of the uncertainty the team at Hispanic Outreach of Goodhue County has had to deal with as it navigated heightened Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity across the state.
It’s been two months since the afterschool program lapsed amid Operation Metro Surge, but now the organization’s six staff members — five full-time and one part-time — are returning to their regular roles as enforcement activity has tapered off. Still, ICE has left an impact that requires Hispanic Outreach’s attention.
“Those are our core programs and services,” Richardson said. “This? We had to shift the work and come up with ways to find out the needs of our community, because people are sheltering in place. They’re afraid to leave their homes. Their kids are there. They’re afraid to go to school.”
As for the food delivery item, the center has mobilized a food bank, providing for people staying home from work. Richardson said that roughly half of Hispanic Outreach’s 165 volunteers remained active during the surge. At times, that meant driving children to school or delivering groceries to families.
Is the staff burned out from all the extra roles? That’s why Richardson has a reminder for them to take off work when they can.
Back to class
Broken off into groups at the afterschool program, the kids laughed and filled out coursework as teachers walked around to answer questions on Monday. One kid, sitting in a chair leaning up against a wall, eventually overcommitted — the chair slid out from under him slowly as he fell to the floor. A smile came across his face as he started to get up.
Gloria Machado chimed in: “That’s why I say sit down right,” she said with a laugh.
Machado, in her third year as teacher for the program, was returning to her usual role with Hispanic Outreach of Goodhue County for the first time since Jan. 5, a date she described as “the terror day.”
By then, Machado said, she had received numerous calls from parents concerned about their children’s safety, prompting the decision to pause the program. She continued checking in with students — asking how they were adjusting, whether they had enough food at home and how they were managing with volunteer drivers.
“My job description changed. We had to be flexible and a big concern was safety,” Machado said. Students started carrying passports. The outreach center tried to speak with kids about how they were feeling. “In that moment, we don't know what will happen. Will they be stopping us?”
A few of her students, who preferred not to use their real names, spoke to the Republican Eagle about their experiences the past few months. The kids either chose their own pseudonyms or said they didn’t have a preference.
Panter, a kid in the afterschool program, said with Machado translating that before the U.S., “there was violence” and his “life was at risk.” His family came to the country for a safe place to live, he added.
Panter is raised by a single mother who was too scared to go into work during the surge — “she was not able to go anywhere.” He said Hispanic Outreach helped out by bringing them food.
Now, Hispanic Outreach’s program helps him with school again. He added that he feels more safe and confident since it’s restarted. Despite the “change” the last few months, he likes school more than he once did.
“Because right now, I feel more confident and am learning more English, so I know a little bit more now than I did before,” he said.
Asked about differences between the U.S. and his native Guatemala, Panter said the rules, the school and the food. “But the people aren’t so different,” he said.
Robert, whose family also moved from Guatemala, said that he’s glad the program is back. He started going a few years ago after a family member recommended it.
“It’s really helpful because I can have a little bit of extra help with some stuff that I don’t get in the classes. For example, math, I can ask here for help if I need it.”
Curly, another student in the program, said through translation that her favorite part of the program is the advice she gives to and receives from the other kids. The field trips are fun, too.
“When we went to the Bell Museum for the Planetarium, I felt like I was in space,” she said.
Kids gather in a circle during the afterschool program.
The team
As the executive director of Hispanic Outreach since 2011, Richardson has helped organize the annual Hispanic Heritage Festival and other events that highlight the Hispanic community and its culture. In her office in March, she went to the back entryway to show the food pantry.
Packaged snacks, produce, diapers and other essential items lined the walls of a back room at the space in March, as the trunk of a car outside awaited the next shipment.
The organization’s front entrance remains locked, with staff screening visitors before entry, one of several adjustments made to ensure safety during the surge.
Samantha Buentello, for instance, normally assisting Machado with the afterschool program, switched full-time to coordinating the food pantry.
“After a few days, we worked together with Red Wing Food Shelf, and that was amazing,” Buentello said. “And we got some of the volunteers to help.”
Hispanic Outreach’s Community Engagement Manager, Adriana Thuerauf, shifted her focus during the surge to recruiting and coordinating volunteers. She reached out through Friends of Immigrants, where more than 150 people signed up to help. As interest grew, she said, coordinating and assigning roles became increasingly complex. More than 90 volunteers provided transportation for students, while more than 70 assisted with grocery deliveries.
One of those volunteers was Dee Swinarski. A retired physical therapist, Swinarski assisted with the food bank after joining Friends of Immigrants in 2016. She considers herself a good organizer, which came in handy given all the new roles, personnel and food deliveries.
“I’ve been amazed at the people who bring donations in and all the people who volunteer to help,” Swinarski said. “It takes a whole village and a whole team working with the staff here to make good things happen.”
Protests at John Rich Park every Friday have become a weekly tradition for many residents frustrated with the Trump administration. A few local residents at the gathering in late February said they were frustrated with elected officials, from national politics to municipal government. The Red Wing City Council approved a statement addressing ICE activity. Some protesters felt like it wasn’t enough.
“I think a lot of the people there you could label as conservative Republicans,” Alan Muller said of the city council. He leads the protests in the park. “They are not on board with sticking up for their people, I don’t think of the city council as a performing asset of the community. Are they doing for us what we need? Are any of them here? I don’t think so.”
What should the city council do, according to Muller?
“Well, I think they should be more assertive with saying ICE needs to get the [expletive] out of Red Wing.”
The aftermath
The Republican Eagle reviewed federal court documents and confirmed that at least two people with Goodhue County connections were detained by federal immigration agents. At a Red Wing City Council meeting Feb. 9, residents said that they knew of four people detained. Richardson said last month the number increased to five when ICE agents detained a man who was working locally on a construction job. Richardson added that there might be more instances of ICE detainments locally that they just don’t know about.
“And, I guess, we wouldn’t ever know about it,” Richardson said.
She also spoke to the individual cases. Some — like a person arrested near Walmart in Red Wing — were released shortly after detainment, but multiple others were deported, according to Richardson. A few of the people detained by ICE were families in the Red Wing School District, according to Superintendent Bob Jaszczak.
Another local resident, a single father the subject of a GoFundMe, was detained by ICE. Richardson said she thinks his family is still here but that the father was deported. Editor’s note: One of the man’s children did not respond to a request for comment on this story, but the Eagle verified, through court records, that the man was detained by ICE during Operation Metro Surge.
Richardson said the person at Walmart showed his “work permit and was released right away.” But tactics have varied for the federal agency after it ramped up immigration arrests.
“That’s the thing with ICE, you never know,” she added. “If you have your documentation and you’re showing who you are and you have your work permit or you’re showing your immigration status, whatever may be the case, sometimes they accept that and sometimes they don’t.”
A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment.
After Jan. 5, Machado met with Superintendent Jaszczak. Jaszczak told the Eagle that while Hispanic Outreach workers and volunteers have driven some students to school, many others have switched to online classes. Around 25 kids have dropped out, according to the superintendent. He said he can’t attribute all of that to the surge, “but the vast majority of it is.”
“This was higher than normal,” he said.
The school is required to permit federal agents to enter in the event they have a judicial warrant, though the superintendent said that hasn’t happened yet. But he and Richardson said that ICE agents tailed buses, which also happened in other areas across the state and midwest.
“Our parents and kids felt safe when they were at school, but our concerns were the transition points,” Jaszczak added.
While the Hispanic families in the school district are primarily affected, the superintendent said that students who are Native American have also stayed home, switching to remote learning as ICE agents target them despite U.S. citizenship. A spokesperson for nearby Prairie Island Indian Community declined to comment.
Younger students worried about their friends have asked staff about why kids weren’t coming to school, according to Jaszczak.
“A staff member would never say why a kid is gone, relatively, ever,” he said.
At least some of the kids who went remote have already returned to in-person learning as thousands of federal agents in the state dwindled to hundreds.
But Richardson thinks it’s going to take time.
“I don’t want to say back to normal, because for those young people, how are they going to trust again?”
Back at her office, Richardson discussed her own journey. She came to the U.S. more than 25 years ago. Initially, she thought she would work for a while, save up money, then leave. She started with Industrial Hardwood Products in Red Wing, where she met her husband, Brock. She currently lives in Wisconsin, Brock’s home state. She said she wanted to get involved with Hispanic Outreach of Goodhue County — going from volunteer to leading the organization — because she thinks the programs and services the organization offers would have made a difference to her younger self.
“There are so many people with so many stories who come to this country with something in mind,” she said. “Then things change.”

Klobuchar Meets with Members of Canadian Parliament
March 18, 2026
(Left to Right) MP Ahmed Hussen, MP Richard Bragdon, U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), MP Lisa Hepfner, and Senator Mohammad Al Zaibak
WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) met with a delegation of Canadian Members of Parliament who participate in the Canada-U.S. Inter-Parliamentary Group (IPG). The delegation included MPs Richard Bragdon, Ahmed Hussen, and Lisa Hepfner, and Senator Mohammad Al Zaibak.
“As co-chair of the bipartisan United States and Canada group, I’m committed to strengthening the economic, security, and cultural ties between our countries. This productive meeting focused on key issues, including the Administration’s tariffs that are threatening our relationship with Canada and hurting the economy on both sides of the border. I will continue to oppose these tariffs, as they increase costs, harm businesses, and put jobs at risk.”
Last week, Klobuchar, along with Senators Tim Kaine (D-VA) and Raphael Warnock (D-GA), introduced the Reclaim Trade Powers Act, legislation to end the President’s latest 10 percent tariffs on most goods by repealing Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Last month, legislation to repeal President Trump’s International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) tariffs on Canada was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives. In October, similar bipartisan legislation led by Senators Klobuchar, Kaine, Paul and Warner passed the Senate 50-46.
The Canada-U.S. Inter-Parliamentary Group was established in 1959 as a forum for U.S. members of Congress and Canadian parliamentarians to have an ongoing dialogue on major issues of mutual concern. Senator Klobuchar serves as co-chair of the group together with Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND). MP Richard Bragdon serves as one of the Canadian co-chairs.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar considering run for Minnesota governor after Tim Walz ends reelection bid, sources say
What difference a day makes EH
Tim Walz scraps Minnesota re-election campaign amid state fraud scandals
Walz had announced bid for 3rd term, but pandemic-era fraud cases hurt his record
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is ending his bid for a third term, less than four months after announcing his re-election campaign.
Walz, who was part of the Democratic U.S. presidential ticket last year as Kamala Harris's running mate, said in a statement Monday that he could no longer devote the energy necessary to win another term, even as he expressed confidence that he could win.
He cited ongoing attention on the fraud cases and described an "extraordinarily difficult year for our state," while also noting the accomplishments of his first seven years in office.
U.S. President Donald Trump and other Republicans have relentlessly focused on a fraud investigation into child-care programs in Minnesota in social media posts and interviews on right-wing cable news shows.
Trump’s administration announced last week that it was freezing child-care funds to Minnesota and demanding an audit of some daycare centres after a series of fraud cases involving state government programs in recent years.
"Donald Trump and his allies — in Washington, in St. Paul and online — want to make our state a colder, meaner place," Walz said, referring to the Trump administration withholding funds for the programs.
"They want to poison our people against each other by attacking our neighbours. And, ultimately, they want to take away much of what makes Minnesota the best place in America to raise a family."
Walz,

in St. Paul, Minn., on Monday. (Kerem Yücel/Minnesota Public Radio/The
Associated Press)The bitterness between Trump and Walz has continued long after the 2024 campaign.
After former Democratic state House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed in June, part of a violent spree where a suspect is also charged with shooting State Sen. John Hoffman, a Democrat, and his wife on the same day, Trump declined to call Walz to express his condolences on behalf of the White House, saying it would be a "waste of time."
On Saturday, Trump shared a social media post on Truth Social that alleged a wild conspiracy theory implicating Walz in Hortman's death. Both Walz and Hortman's children condemned the post and urged him to take it down.
"Dangerous, depraved behaviour from the sitting president of the United States," Walz said in his own social media post in response. "In covering for an actual serial killer, he is going to get more innocent people killed."
From high school to politics
Harris picked Walz as her running mate in the 2024 presidential election, citing his history across a range of experiences in advocating for working families.
Walz, who grew up in the small town of West Point, Neb., was a social studies teacher and high school football coach before he got into politics. He also served in the U.S. national guard for 24 years.
Walz,

National Convention on Aug. 22, 2024. (Paul Sancya/The Associated Press)On Monday evening, Harris wrote on social media that Walz is "always guided by what's best for the people of Minnesota," and "his decision not to seek re-election reflects that same selfless commitment to the people he serves."
Walz flipped a Republican seat in rural Minnesota in 2006 to represent the state in U.S. Congress. He was viewed as a moderate Democrat who supported gun rights and was elected to the House of Representatives six times before leaving to run for governor in 2018.
During that campaign, Walz got a warm welcome from Democratic voters due to his folksy charm, and his attack line against Trump and his running mate, JD Vance — "These guys are just weird" — spread widely. But he drew mixed reviews for his lone debate against Vance.
Defends Somali community from Trump attacks
Through nearly two terms as governor, Walz navigated a closely divided legislature. In his first term, he served alongside a Democratic-led House and Republican-controlled Senate that resisted his proposals to use higher taxes to boost money for schools, health care and roads. But he helped broker compromises.
After the killing of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, by a white Minneapolis police officer in 2020, Walz pleaded for calm but also stood out as a white political leader who expressed empathy toward Black Americans and their experiences with police violence.
In his second term, Walz worked with Democratic majorities in both legislative chambers to chart a more liberal course in state government, aided by a huge budget surplus.
Minnesota eliminated nearly all of the state abortion restrictions enacted in the past by Republicans, protected gender-affirming care for transgender youth and legalized the recreational use of marijuana. Walz and his fellow Democrats also enacted free school meals for all students and a paid family and medical leave program that went live on Jan. 1.
But he has been plagued by a $300-million US pandemic food fraud scheme revolving around the non-profit Feeding Our Future, for which 57 defendants in Minnesota have been convicted.
Most of those defendants were Somali American, but Walz and other Democrats have criticized Trump and his allies for statements that appeared to blame the entire diaspora for actions committed by just dozens of people.
Minnesota immigration crackdown met by organized oppositionThe Minneapolis-St. Paul area is home to about 84,000 residents of Somali descent, and the Trump administration's efforts to deport unauthorized American residents have included operations in the state.
Democratic National Committee chairman Ken Martin, another Minnesotan, said Monday that Walz "entered public life for the right reasons and never lost sight of them."
At the Republican Governors Association, spokesperson Courtney Alexander blasted Walz for "failed leadership" and argued that the eventual Democratic nominee "will need to defend years of mismanagement and misplaced priorities."
Around a dozen Republicans are already running in the party's primary to determine a gubernatorial candidate. The list includes a number of current and former state legislators, as well as MyPillow founder and chief executive Mike Lindell, a 2020 election denier who is close to Trump.
A total of 36 states hold gubernatorial elections in 2026, a midterm election year.

The man enlisted to save James Comey
“Comey
implicitly trusts Pat Fitzgerald. They’ve been best friends, or really
good friends, for years,” said Robert Grant, former FBI special agent in
charge of the Chicago office at the time Fitzgerald served as U.S.
attorney.Brian Kersey / Getty Images fileCHICAGO — In the run-up to former FBI Director James Comey’s indictment, there was no question who would step up to represent him.
Friend and former colleague Patrick Fitzgerald, who served as U.S. attorney in Chicago for over a decade, would spring from retirement to be his man.
Nationally, Fitzgerald is best known for his role as special prosecutor in the investigation into a CIA leak that brought charges against I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby.
But to Chicago, Fitzgerald is something of a legend. The George W. Bush appointee left an indelible legacy as a scrupulous, hard-charging prosecutor who disrupted the kinds of crooked backroom deals that were long a trademark of Illinois politics.
Over his nearly 12-year tenure as U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, his prosecutions took down the Chicago mob, put two consecutive governors — one Republican, one Democratic — behind bars and won a conviction against a top donor to Barack Obama just as Obama was running for the White House. He jailed longtime “untouchables” in Chicago and Springfield political circles while prosecuting international cases, including a Hamas funding scheme and major terrorism cases.
Still in the Chicago area, Fitzgerald retired as a top partner at the law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom two years ago and was enjoying spending more time with his family while doing some teaching. He’s entering the national spotlight to be Comey’s attorney out of longtime loyalty to a dear friend, those close to him say.
But he’s potentially embarking on what could become a political firestorm. President Donald Trump made clear in his own social media post that he wanted his attorney general to bring charges against Comey.
“Comey implicitly trusts Pat Fitzgerald. They’ve been best friends, or really good friends, for years,” said Robert Grant, former FBI special agent in charge of the Chicago office at the time Fitzgerald served as U.S. attorney. “They’re that close, and he also has a tremendous amount of respect for Pat.”
When Fitzgerald landed in Chicago in 2001, he was dubbed “Eliot Ness with a Harvard Law degree.” But before that, he was the first to bring a case against Osama bin Laden — in 1996 — years before bin Laden masterminded the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. It was one-term Illinois Republican Sen. Peter Fitzgerald (no relation) who recommended Patrick Fitzgerald for the post, at the time saying he wanted someone to lead the office who was unassailable and unafraid to root out public corruption.
“Pat was out of central casting to be the incorruptible guy that was in aggressive pursuit of the facts and dispensing justice and vindicating the public’s right for honest government,” said Patrick Collins, a former federal prosecutor who led the case against former Gov. George Ryan, a Republican.
“As a line assistant who was intensely involved in a prosecution and worked in an office that had a reputation for prosecuting without fear or favor, having Pat Fitzgerald as your boss — he had your back,” he added. “We always knew that cases would rise or fall on the facts.”
Fitzgerald’s and Comey’s personal styles couldn’t be more different. For years, Comey has publicly clashed with Trump, who fired him during his first White House term. Most controversially, Comey held a news conference days before the 2016 presidential election to disclose new findings of an investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails. Comey also frequently posts on social media — including a video on the day of his indictment vowing to take on Trump.
For his part, Fitzgerald is unassuming and does not relish being in the limelight, those close to him say. Fitzgerald, an Amherst College and Harvard Law graduate, had “a steel-trap mind” when they worked together, Grant said, describing a photographic memory that would allow him to rattle off cellphone numbers of defendants years after prosecuting a case. But his demeanor was shaped by humble beginnings in Brooklyn, where he grew up the son of a hotel doorman.
“There’s a little bit of hubris you see in Comey that you don’t see in Pat,” Grant said. “When you first meet Pat, he’s so down-to-earth that you don’t realize what a brilliant mind there is behind that genial exterior. Whoever that prosecutor is, she’s up against a damn good lawyer.”
Lindsey Halligan, the new interim U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia, presented the case to secure Comey’s indictment on her own, according to a source familiar with the grand jury proceedings in Alexandria, Virginia, on Thursday. A senior Justice Department official told NBC News that career prosecutors in Halligan’s office sent her a memo saying they believed probable cause did not exist to secure the indictment.
Trump tapped Halligan — who has no prosecutorial experience but was on his defense team in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case — after the previous acting U.S. attorney left the position under pressure from the president to prosecute Comey.
When he gained national exposure for prosecuting Libby, Fitzgerald became something of a media darling. He was sometimes referred to jokingly as “prosecutie,” according to one of his friends, and in 2005, much to his dismay at the time, he was named in People magazine’s “sexiest men alive” issue.
The straight-laced prosecutor appeared visibly uncomfortable when reporters asked him about the designation at a news conference.
“I almost enjoy going back to the leak questions I can’t answer,” he said at the time. “I played a lot of practical jokes on people for a lot of years, and they all got even at once. OK, new topic.”
Fitzgerald’s investigations during his time in Chicago broke open a seminal case against the criminal organization known as the Chicago Outfit. Dubbed “Operation Family Secrets,” his office brought sweeping charges against more than a dozen mobsters and exposed evidence of 18 previously unsolved murders dating back decades. He also dug into Chicago City Hall, then under the longtime grip of Mayor Richard M. Daley. A massive investigation into an illicit trucking operation sent dozens to prison and exposed the underbelly of city corruption.
Fitzgerald had plenty of detractors.
Many of their criticisms stemmed from one of the highest-profile cases to come of his office: the prosecution of then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich. The yearslong investigation culminated in the stunning 2008 arrest of a sitting governor. Though several of his aides were already convicted of related crimes, Blagojevich, a Democrat, spoke openly on the phone — with the FBI listening — about how he could extract a personal benefit in exchange for naming the successor to what was then Obama’s vacant Senate seat.
In one of the best-known lines of the case, Blagojevich was recorded relishing a potential payout from using his power as governor to name the next U.S. senator: “I’ve got this thing, and it’s f-----g golden.”
Blagojevich was also later convicted of trying to shake down a children’s hospital executive for a $25,000 campaign contribution in exchange for an increase to pediatric reimbursement rates, as well as holding up action on a horse-racing bill while he illegally sought a $100,000 campaign contribution.
In laying out the charges on the day of the governor’s arrest, Fitzgerald declared Blagojevich was on a “public corruption spree” that would make “Lincoln roll over in his grave.”
Fitzgerald faced criticism for making extrajudicial remarks and potentially prejudicing a jury. For years, Blagojevich assailed Fitzgerald for bringing the weight of the office against him. Trump first commuted Blagojevich’s sentence, then pardoned him earlier this year.
Then there was the Libby case, which involved extensive travel to Washington, D.C., while managing the Chicago office and its myriad blockbuster cases. According to law enforcement officials who worked under him, he never dropped the ball back home. At the same time, Fitzgerald drew national attention as he handled the investigation, which sought to uncover who leaked the identity of Valerie Plame Wilson, a covert CIA agent.
At one point in the case, New York Times reporter Judith Miller was jailed for refusing to disclose her sources. Fitzgerald took heat from conservatives who called him overzealous in attempting to notch a conviction against Libby, who had served as then-Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff. Bush commuted Libby’s 30-month sentence, and in 2017, Trump pardoned him, saying he had heard Libby was treated unfairly.
In a statement at the time, Fitzgerald defended the prosecution, saying Libby “lied repeatedly and blatantly about matters at the heart of a criminal investigation concerning the disclosure of a covert intelligence officer’s identity.”
Those who worked with Fitzgerald in Chicago defended him as zealously apolitical, noting he served under presidents of both parties. They held up his body of work as evidence he was no friend to those on either side of the aisle.
“I worked with him for nine years. I have no idea if he’s a Republican or a Democrat, and it quite frankly never came up. He’s entirely about justice and doing the right thing,” said Eric Sussman, a defense attorney who worked as an assistant U.S. attorney under Fitzgerald.
Sussman prosecuted a corruption case against onetime media baron Conrad Black, another high-profile defendant sent to prison in that era after he was convicted of diverting proceeds from his newspaper sales for his personal use. Like with Blagojevich, Trump would eventually pardon Black.
“Pat really professionalized the office and made sure that everyone underneath him operated with the same professionalism, integrity and commitment to doing the right thing in Justice,” Sussman added. “That carried over not just to the attorneys in the office, but to how people in Chicago perceived him and perceived the office that he ran.”

Prosecutors go after James Comey’s attorney Patrick Fitzgerald
Prosecutors suggested late Sunday that Patrick Fitzgerald could have “potential conflict and disqualification issue” in the case because Comey may have used the attorney to disseminate classified material in 2017 – an allegation Comey’s attorneys called “provably false.”
In a filing over evidence, prosecutors say “quarantined evidence” in the case contains communication between Comey and Fitzgerald.
“Based on publicly disclosed information, the defendant used current lead defense counsel to improperly disclose classified information,” prosecutors wrote in Monday’s filing.
Fitzgerald, citing a report from the Justice Department’s inspector general who investigated the allegations previously, noted that “the report ‘found no evidence that Comey or his attorneys released any of the classified information contained in any of the Memos to the media.’”
“After Mr. Comey was fired on May 9, 2017, he sought legal advice with respect to his termination and with regard to having witnessed behavior by the President that he considered unlawful,” Fitzgerald wrote in Monday’s responsive filing.
Comey was fired a few months after Trump took office, following his agency’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
“This is always a dicey situation,” former federal prosecutor and CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig said of the DOJ’s filing on CNN this morning. “Look, you are never supposed to be both a lawyer and a witness in the same case.”
If Fitzgerald was “part of one of these chains of leaks that Jim Comey allegedly set up,” Honig said, “Fitzgerald, even if he’s just a witness, he generally cannot then be a defense lawyer in the case.”
The former FBI director had written “seven contemporaneous memoranda about his troubling interactions with President Trump,” in 2017, Fitzgerald noted, adding that Comey shared several of the memos with his attorneys, none of which, he claims, contained classified information.
“The memoranda were unclassified at the time they were shared with counsel–Mr. Comey both authored the memos and was an Original Classification Authority,” Fitzgerald wrote, adding that the government later chose to “upclassify” the memos.
Comey’s attorney concluded: “Contrary to the government’s assertion, a later upclassification does not change the fact that when the memoranda were initially transmitted, they were in fact unclassified.”
FBI agents who worked on Trump election probe sue, saying they were unjustly fired
The lawsuit demands the three agents be reinstated and could, if successful, open the door for at least 50 other agents who were part of the various Trump investigations and fired under similar circumstances to also rejoin the agency.
The agents say that both Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel “were personally embroiled, as fact witnesses or attorneys representing (Trump), in investigations brought by the FBI, through the FBI’s career employees.”
“And now, by virtue of presidential appointment to the pinnacle of federal law enforcement, Defendants are abusing their positions to claim victories that eluded them on the merits,” the lawsuit says. “Defendants’ mission – in their own words – is retribution.”
The FBI declined to comment on the lawsuit.
The three agents say they were fired without clear explanation or the ability to respond and had each worked on the 2020 election case, with decades of experience at the FBI between them.
The Justice Department faces several other lawsuits by FBI agents who say they were unconstitutionally dismissed from the agency as part of a political purging of those who worked on past investigations into Trump or who are believed to not align with the president’s agenda.
Patel and Bondi, the lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington, DC, says, “began their terms of office by compiling lists of FBI employees whom they perceived to be ‘enemies’ — due to assigned investigative work, private comments, personal friendships, immutable characteristic, or other absurd measure — and publicly initiating mass firings on a rolling basis, without due process.”
The agents also said they were required by FBI policy “to accept all lawful assignments based on the needs of the FBI” and were “not permitted to refuse lawful assignments based on personal or political preferences.”
Investigations into Trump’s retention of classified material after leaving office and his effort to change the results of the 2020 election culminated in two criminal cases against the former president led by special counsel Jack Smith.
The classified materials case was dismissed by a federal judge appointed by Trump who found that Smith’s appointment as special counsel was invalid because, in part, he was not confirmed by the Senate. Smith withdrew the election-related case after Trump won the 2024 presidential election.

Silverglate: How Robert Mueller Tried To Entrap Me
Is special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, appointed in mid-May to lead the investigation into suspected ties between Donald Trump’s campaign and various shady (aren’t they all?) Russian officials, the choirboy that he’s being touted to be, or is he more akin to a modern-day Tomas de Torquemada, the Castilian Dominican friar who was the first Grand Inquisitor in the 15th Century Spanish Inquisition?
Given the rampant media partisanship since the election, one would think that Mueller’s appointment would lend credibility to the hunt for violations of law by candidate, now President Trump and his minions.
But I have known Mueller during key moments of his career as a federal prosecutor. My experience has taught me to approach whatever he does in the Trump investigation with a requisite degree of skepticism or, at the very least, extreme caution.
When Mueller was the acting United States Attorney in Boston, I was defense counsel in a federal criminal case in which a rather odd fellow contacted me to tell me that he had information that could assist my client. He asked to see me, and I agreed to meet. He walked into my office wearing a striking, flowing white gauze-like shirt and sat down across from me at the conference table. He was prepared, he said, to give me an affidavit to the effect that certain real estate owned by my client was purchased with lawful currency rather than, as Mueller’s office was claiming, the proceeds of illegal drug activities.
My secretary typed up the affidavit that the witness was going to sign. Just as he picked up the pen, he looked at me and said something like: “You know, all of this is actually false, but your client is an old friend of mine and I want to help him.” As I threw the putative witness out of my office, I noticed, under the flowing white shirt, a lump on his back – he was obviously wired and recording every word between us.
Years later I ran into Mueller, and I told him of my disappointment in being the target of a sting where there was no reason to think that I would knowingly present perjured evidence to a court. Mueller, half-apologetically, told me that he never really thought that I would suborn perjury, but that he had a duty to pursue the lead given to him. (That “lead,” of course, was provided by a fellow that we lawyers, among ourselves, would indelicately refer to as a “scumbag.”)
This experience made me realize that Mueller was capable of believing, at least preliminarily, any tale of criminal wrongdoing and acting upon it, despite the palpable bad character and obviously questionable motivations of his informants and witnesses. (The lesson was particularly vivid because Mueller and I overlapped at Princeton, he in the Class of 1966 and me graduating in 1964.)
Years later, my wariness toward Mueller was bolstered in an even more revelatory way. When he led the criminal division of the U.S. Department of Justice, I arranged in December 1990 to meet with him in Washington. I was then lead defense counsel for Dr. Jeffrey R. MacDonald, who had been convicted in federal court in North Carolina in 1979 of murdering his wife and two young children while stationed at Fort Bragg. Years after the trial, MacDonald (also at Princeton when Mueller and I were there) hired me and my colleagues to represent him and obtain a new trial based on shocking newly discovered evidence that demonstrated MacDonald had been framed in part by the connivance of military investigators and FBI agents. Over the years, MacDonald and his various lawyers and investigators had collected a large trove of such evidence.
The day of the meeting, I walked into the DOJ conference room, where around the table sat a phalanx of FBI agents. My three colleagues joined me. Mueller walked into the room, went to the head of the table, and opened the meeting with this admonition, reconstructed from my vivid and chilling memory: “Gentlemen: Criticism of the Bureau is a non-starter.” (Another lawyer attendee of the meeting remembered Mueller’s words slightly differently: “Prosecutorial misconduct is a non-starter.” Either version makes clear Mueller’s intent – he did not want to hear evidence that either the prosecutors or the FBI agents on the case misbehaved and framed an innocent man.)
Special counsel Mueller’s background indicates zealousness that we might expect in the Grand Inquisitor, not the choirboy.
Why Special Prosecutors Are A Bad Idea
The history of special counsels (called at different times either “independent counsel” or “special prosecutor”) is checkered and troubled, resulting in considerable Supreme Court litigation around the concept of a prosecutor acting outside of the normal DOJ chain of command.
The Supreme Court in 1988 approved, with a single dissent (Justice Antonin Scalia), the concept of an independent prosecutor. Still, all subsequent efforts to appoint such a prosecutor have led to enormous disagreements over whether justice was done. Consider Kenneth Starr’s obsessive four-year, $40-million pursuit of President Bill Clinton for having sex with a White House intern and then lying about it. Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald’s 2006 pursuit of I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby is not as infamous, but it should be. Fitzgerald indicted and a jury later convicted Libby, a top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, for lying about leaking to the New York Times the covert identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson. Subsequent revelations that there were multiple leaks and that Wilson’s CIA identity was not a secret served to discredit Libby’s indictment. Libby’s sentence was commuted. Libby’s relatively speedy reinstatement into the bar is seen by many as evidence of his unfair conviction. Considered in tandem, the campaigns against Democrat Clinton and Republican Libby raise disturbing questions about the use of special or independent prosecutors.
Yet despite the constitutional issues, the most serious problem with a special counsel is that when a prosecutor is appointed to examine closely the lives and affairs of a pre-selected group of targets, that prosecutor is almost certain to stumble across multiple actions that might be deemed criminal under the sprawling and incredibly vague federal criminal code.
In Mueller’s case, one can have a very high degree of confidence that he will uncover alleged felonies within the ranks of the inner circle of the President’s men (there are very few women to investigate in this administration). This could well include Trump himself.
I described this phenomenon long before Trump began his improbable rise, in my 2009 book “Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent” (Encounter Books, updated edition, 2011). I explained how federal “fraud” statutes were so vague that just about any action in the daily life of a typically busy professional might be squeezed into the elastic definition of some kind of federal felony. Harvard Law Professor (and, I should note, my former professor and subsequent longtime friend and colleague) Alan Dershowitz has beaten me to the punch, making the case in a raft of articles and on TV and radio that none of the evidence thus far leaked to or adduced by investigative reporters constitute federal crimes.
But Mueller’s demonstrated zeal and ample resources virtually assure that indictments will come, even in the absence of actual crimes rather than behavior that is simply “politics as usual”. If Mueller claims that Trump or members of his entourage committed crimes, it doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily so. We should take Mueller and his prosecutorial team with a grain of salt. But a grain of salt seems an outmoded concept in an age when both sides – Trump and his critics – seem impervious to inconvenient facts. The most appropriate slogan for all the combatants on both sides of the Trump wars (including, alas, the reporters and their editors) might well be: “Don’t confuse me with the facts; my mind is made up.”

SAN DIEGO, April 1, 2026 — After intervention by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a California school district expunged its suspension of a high school junior for putting up a pro-ICE poster.
On Feb. 6, hundreds of students at Torrey Pines High School peacefully staged a mid-school- day walkout to protest ICE and U.S. immigration enforcement policy. They held posters displaying statements including, “If You’re an I.C.E. Agent Ya Mom’s a Hoe!!,” “FUCK ICE,” and “ICE is KKK spelled differently.”
Yet,
two weeks later, the school suspended a student for posting pro-ICE
flyers reading “We 
I.C.E. – Real Americans.” The school claimed the
flyers, which caused no disruption at the school — and were displayed in
a common area where other students have posted political material
— nevertheless constituted “harassment” and “intimidation.”
“School administrators can’t pick and choose which opinions students are allowed to express,” said FIRE Supervising Senior Attorney Conor Fitzpatrick. “Voicing an opinion which makes others upset is not ‘harassment’ or ‘intimidation,’ it is American democracy in action.”
After the student secured representation from FIRE litigators, the school agreed to expunge the suspension from his record.
“We’re pleased the school has erased the suspension and will be watching closely to ensure the school respects its students’ First Amendment rights,” said Fitzpatrick. “The law is clear: Public schools must allow students to peacefully express their political opinions.”
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to defending and sustaining the individual rights of all Americans to free speech and free thought — the most essential qualities of liberty. FIRE educates Americans about the importance of these inalienable rights, promotes a culture of respect for these rights, and provides the means to preserve them.

"President Donald Trump has added a veteran Washington lawyer to the
team representing him in the investigations of possible collusion by
the Trump campaign with Russia, including the criminal probe being led
by special counsel Robert Mueller.
John Dowd, who has represented key figures in a variety white-collar
criminal matters and investigations, has joined the president's
defense team led by New York lawyer Marc Kasowitz, Mark Corallo, a
spokesman for the team, said on Friday.
Another well-known white-collar Washington lawyer will likely join the
team shortly, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Dowd, 76, represented U.S. Senator John McCain on congressional ethics
charges in the "Keating Five" banking scandal in the late 1980s and
early 1990s. McCain was cleared in the matter.?

Who is Jay Sekulow, Donald Trump's contradictory new lawyer?
The conservative attorney was thrust into the spotlight as part of
Trump’s legal team in the Russia investigation – though he seems hazy
on the actual details
Donald Trump’s new attorney, Jay Sekulow, burst into the public
consciousness this weekend with a series of fiery – if contradictory –
interviews on the Sunday morning news shows.
The chief counsel for the conservative American Center for Law and
Justice (ACLJ) was thrust into the spotlight as a member of the
president’s legal team regarding investigations into Russian
interference in the 2016 election campaign and links between Trump
aides and Moscow.

Date: 20151223
Docket: T-1557-15
Fredericton, New Brunswick, December 23, 2015
PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell
BETWEEN:
DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
Plaintiff
and
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Defendant
ORDER
(Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
December 14, 2015)
The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
in its entirety.
At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
(now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal). In that letter
he stated:
As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
You are your brother’s keeper.
Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police.
In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
[1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion. There
is no order as to costs.
“B. Richard Bell”
Judge
Below after the CBC article about your concerns (I made one comment
already) you will find the text of just two of many emails I had sent

Dear Mr. Amos,
Thank you for your follow up e-mail to me today. I was on days off
over the holidays and returned to work this evening. Rest assured I
was not ignoring or procrastinating to respond to your concerns.
As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position
is clear on your dead calf issue: Our forensic labs do not process
testing on animals in cases such as yours, they are referred to the
Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown who can provide these
services. If you do not choose to utilize their expertise in this
instance, then that is your decision and nothing more can be done.
As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false
imprisonment and Federal Court Dates in the US, etc... it is clear
that Federal authorities are aware of your concerns both in Canada
the US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment
and policing in Petitcodiac, NB.
It was indeed an interesting and informative conversation we had on
December 23rd, and I wish you well in all of your future endeavors.

Little David Amos’ “True History Of War” Canadian Airstrikes And
Stupid Justin Trudeau
Canada’s and Canadians free ride is over. Canada can no longer hide
behind Amerka’s and NATO’s skirts.
When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien
actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign
in Iraq, the Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary to
the wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that were
involved in the initial planning phases of that operation. There were
significant concern in our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth
of concern for operational guidance, direction, and forces for
operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last minute”
Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind.
The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not
deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a
Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to
redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was
less costly to deploy Canadian Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But
alas no one seems to remind the Liberals of Prime Minister Chretien’s
then grossly incorrect assumption. Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s
incompetence and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic,
professional, punched well above it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle
Group, is credited with “saving Afghanistan” during the Panjway
campaign of 2006.
What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then
Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the
Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war” without the advice, consent,
support, or vote of the Canadian Parliament.
What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling
chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment of
less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by planners
as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as a
deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.
The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have
the “constitutional authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war.
That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public by
constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do is
remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of
non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government
regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this
instance with the conservative majority in The Commons regarding a
limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.
President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror
attacks in New York; that the Taliban “occupied” and “failed state”
Afghanistan was the source of logistical support, command and control,
and training for the Al Quaeda war of terror against the world. The
initial defeat, and removal from control of Afghanistan was vital and
essential for the security and tranquility of the developed world. An
ISIS “caliphate,” in the Middle East, no matter how small, is a clear
and present danger to the entire world. This “occupied state,”
or“failed state” will prosecute an unending Islamic inspired war of
terror against not only the “western world,” but Arab states
“moderate” or not, as well. The security, safety, and tranquility of
Canada and Canadians are just at risk now with the emergence of an
ISIS“caliphate” no matter how large or small, as it was with the
Taliban and Al Quaeda “marriage” in Afghanistan.
One of the everlasting “legacies” of the “Trudeau the Elder’s dynasty
was Canada and successive Liberal governments cowering behind the
amerkan’s nuclear and conventional military shield, at the same time
denigrating, insulting them, opposing them, and at the same time
self-aggrandizing ourselves as “peace keepers,” and progenitors of
“world peace.” Canada failed. The United States of Amerka, NATO, the
G7 and or G20 will no longer permit that sort of sanctimonious
behavior from Canada or its government any longer. And Prime Minister
Stephen Harper, Foreign Minister John Baird , and Cabinet are fully
cognizant of that reality. Even if some editorial boards, and pundits
are not.
Justin, Trudeau “the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal
mantra, and tradition of expecting the amerkans or the rest of the
world to do “the heavy lifting.” Justin Trudeau and his “butt buddy”
David Amos are telling Canadians that we can guarantee our security
and safety by expecting other nations to fight for us. That Canada can
and should attempt to guarantee Canadians safety by providing
“humanitarian aid” somewhere, and call a sitting US president a “war
criminal.” This morning Australia announced they too, were sending
tactical aircraft to eliminate the menace of an ISIS “caliphate.”
In one sense Prime Minister Harper is every bit the scoundrel Trudeau
“the elder” and Jean ‘the crook” Chretien was. Just As Trudeau, and
successive Liberal governments delighted in diminishing,
marginalizing, under funding Canadian Forces, and sending Canadian
military men and women to die with inadequate kit and modern
equipment; so too is Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Canada’s F-18s are
antiquated, poorly equipped, and ought to have been replaced five
years ago. But alas, there won’t be single RCAF fighter jock that
won’t go, or won’t want to go, to make Canada safe or safer.
My Grandfather served this country. My father served this country. My
Uncle served this country. And I have served this country. Justin
Trudeau has not served Canada in any way. Thomas Mulcair has not
served this country in any way. Liberals and so called social
democrats haven’t served this country in any way. David Amos, and
other drooling fools have not served this great nation in any way. Yet
these fools are more than prepared to ensure their, our safety to
other nations, and then criticize them for doing so.

and tranquility, but also that of the world. Canada has never before
shirked its responsibility to its citizens and that of the world.

I talked to Don Newman earlier this week before the beancounters David
Dodge and Don Drummond now of Queen's gave their spin about Canada's

be fair to him I just called Greg Weston (613-288-6938) I suggested
that he should at least Google SOUCOM and David Amos It would be wise
if he check ALL of CBC's sources before he publishes something else

"But Lang, defence minister McCallum's chief of staff, says military
brass were not entirely forthcoming on the issue. For instance, he
says, even McCallum initially didn't know those soldiers were helping
to plan the invasion of Iraq up to the highest levels of command,
including a Canadian general.
That general is Walt Natynczyk, now Canada's chief of defence staff,
who eight months after the invasion became deputy commander of 35,000
U.S. soldiers and other allied forces in Iraq. Lang says Natynczyk was
also part of the team of mainly senior U.S. military brass that helped
prepare for the invasion from a mobile command in Kuwait."
http://baconfat53.blogspot.
"I remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there
being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends"
demanded that Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American
"veterans" and sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying
into the US policy.
At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other of my
colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the planning
in the planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that would
report to the PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation. There was
never at anytime an existing target list of verified sites where there
were deployed WMD.
Coalition assets were more than sufficient for the initial strike and
invasion phase but even at that point in the planning, we were
concerned about the number of "boots on the ground" for the occupation
(and end game) stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also concerned
about the American plans for occupation plans of Iraq because they at
that stage included no contingency for a handing over of civil
authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy.
There was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to
its people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary
to the lessons of Vietnam but also to current military thought, that
folks like Colin Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others elucidated
upon. "What's the mission" how long is the mission, what conditions
are to met before US troop can redeploy? Prime Minister Jean Chretien
and the PMO were even at the very preliminary planning stages wary of
Canadian involvement in an Iraq operation....History would prove them
correct. The political pressure being applied on the PMO from the
George W Bush administration was onerous
American military assets were extremely overstretched, and Canadian
military assets even more so It was proposed by the PMO that Canadian
naval platforms would deploy to assist in naval quarantine operations
in the Gulf and that Canadian army assets would deploy in Afghanistan
thus permitting US army assets to redeploy for an Iraqi
operation....The PMO thought that "compromise would save Canadian
lives and liberal political capital.. and the priority of which
....not necessarily in that order. "
You can bet that I called these sneaky Yankees again today EH John
Adams? of the CSE within the DND?

Klobuchar Meets with Members of Canadian Parliament
March 18, 2026
(Left to Right) MP Ahmed Hussen, MP Richard Bragdon, U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), MP Lisa Hepfner, and Senator Mohammad Al Zaibak
WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) met with a delegation of Canadian Members of Parliament who participate in the Canada-U.S. Inter-Parliamentary Group (IPG). The delegation included MPs Richard Bragdon, Ahmed Hussen, and Lisa Hepfner, and Senator Mohammad Al Zaibak.
“As co-chair of the bipartisan United States and Canada group, I’m committed to strengthening the economic, security, and cultural ties between our countries. This productive meeting focused on key issues, including the Administration’s tariffs that are threatening our relationship with Canada and hurting the economy on both sides of the border. I will continue to oppose these tariffs, as they increase costs, harm businesses, and put jobs at risk.”
Last week, Klobuchar, along with Senators Tim Kaine (D-VA) and Raphael Warnock (D-GA), introduced the Reclaim Trade Powers Act, legislation to end the President’s latest 10 percent tariffs on most goods by repealing Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Last month, legislation to repeal President Trump’s International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) tariffs on Canada was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives. In October, similar bipartisan legislation led by Senators Klobuchar, Kaine, Paul and Warner passed the Senate 50-46.
The Canada-U.S. Inter-Parliamentary Group was established in 1959 as a forum for U.S. members of Congress and Canadian parliamentarians to have an ongoing dialogue on major issues of mutual concern. Senator Klobuchar serves as co-chair of the group together with Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND). MP Richard Bragdon serves as one of the Canadian co-chairs.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar considering run for Minnesota governor after Tim Walz ends reelection bid, sources say
What difference a day makes EH
Tim Walz scraps Minnesota re-election campaign amid state fraud scandals
Walz had announced bid for 3rd term, but pandemic-era fraud cases hurt his record
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is ending his bid for a third term, less than four months after announcing his re-election campaign.
Walz, who was part of the Democratic U.S. presidential ticket last year as Kamala Harris's running mate, said in a statement Monday that he could no longer devote the energy necessary to win another term, even as he expressed confidence that he could win.
He cited ongoing attention on the fraud cases and described an "extraordinarily difficult year for our state," while also noting the accomplishments of his first seven years in office.
U.S. President Donald Trump and other Republicans have relentlessly focused on a fraud investigation into child-care programs in Minnesota in social media posts and interviews on right-wing cable news shows.
Trump’s administration announced last week that it was freezing child-care funds to Minnesota and demanding an audit of some daycare centres after a series of fraud cases involving state government programs in recent years.
"Donald Trump and his allies — in Washington, in St. Paul and online — want to make our state a colder, meaner place," Walz said, referring to the Trump administration withholding funds for the programs.
"They want to poison our people against each other by attacking our neighbours. And, ultimately, they want to take away much of what makes Minnesota the best place in America to raise a family."
Walz,

in St. Paul, Minn., on Monday. (Kerem Yücel/Minnesota Public Radio/The
Associated Press)The bitterness between Trump and Walz has continued long after the 2024 campaign.
After former Democratic state House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed in June, part of a violent spree where a suspect is also charged with shooting State Sen. John Hoffman, a Democrat, and his wife on the same day, Trump declined to call Walz to express his condolences on behalf of the White House, saying it would be a "waste of time."
On Saturday, Trump shared a social media post on Truth Social that alleged a wild conspiracy theory implicating Walz in Hortman's death. Both Walz and Hortman's children condemned the post and urged him to take it down.
"Dangerous, depraved behaviour from the sitting president of the United States," Walz said in his own social media post in response. "In covering for an actual serial killer, he is going to get more innocent people killed."
From high school to politics
Harris picked Walz as her running mate in the 2024 presidential election, citing his history across a range of experiences in advocating for working families.
Walz, who grew up in the small town of West Point, Neb., was a social studies teacher and high school football coach before he got into politics. He also served in the U.S. national guard for 24 years.
Walz,
right, is shown with Kamala Harris, left, in Chicago at the Democratic
National Convention on Aug. 22, 2024. (Paul Sancya/The Associated Press)On Monday evening, Harris wrote on social media that Walz is "always guided by what's best for the people of Minnesota," and "his decision not to seek re-election reflects that same selfless commitment to the people he serves."
Walz flipped a Republican seat in rural Minnesota in 2006 to represent the state in U.S. Congress. He was viewed as a moderate Democrat who supported gun rights and was elected to the House of Representatives six times before leaving to run for governor in 2018.
During that campaign, Walz got a warm welcome from Democratic voters due to his folksy charm, and his attack line against Trump and his running mate, JD Vance — "These guys are just weird" — spread widely. But he drew mixed reviews for his lone debate against Vance.
Defends Somali community from Trump attacks
Through nearly two terms as governor, Walz navigated a closely divided legislature. In his first term, he served alongside a Democratic-led House and Republican-controlled Senate that resisted his proposals to use higher taxes to boost money for schools, health care and roads. But he helped broker compromises.
After the killing of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, by a white Minneapolis police officer in 2020, Walz pleaded for calm but also stood out as a white political leader who expressed empathy toward Black Americans and their experiences with police violence.
In his second term, Walz worked with Democratic majorities in both legislative chambers to chart a more liberal course in state government, aided by a huge budget surplus.
Minnesota eliminated nearly all of the state abortion restrictions enacted in the past by Republicans, protected gender-affirming care for transgender youth and legalized the recreational use of marijuana. Walz and his fellow Democrats also enacted free school meals for all students and a paid family and medical leave program that went live on Jan. 1.
But he has been plagued by a $300-million US pandemic food fraud scheme revolving around the non-profit Feeding Our Future, for which 57 defendants in Minnesota have been convicted.
Most of those defendants were Somali American, but Walz and other Democrats have criticized Trump and his allies for statements that appeared to blame the entire diaspora for actions committed by just dozens of people.
Minnesota immigration crackdown met by organized oppositionThe Minneapolis-St. Paul area is home to about 84,000 residents of Somali descent, and the Trump administration's efforts to deport unauthorized American residents have included operations in the state.
Democratic National Committee chairman Ken Martin, another Minnesotan, said Monday that Walz "entered public life for the right reasons and never lost sight of them."
At the Republican Governors Association, spokesperson Courtney Alexander blasted Walz for "failed leadership" and argued that the eventual Democratic nominee "will need to defend years of mismanagement and misplaced priorities."
Around a dozen Republicans are already running in the party's primary to determine a gubernatorial candidate. The list includes a number of current and former state legislators, as well as MyPillow founder and chief executive Mike Lindell, a 2020 election denier who is close to Trump.
A total of 36 states hold gubernatorial elections in 2026, a midterm election year.

Silverglate: How Robert Mueller Tried To Entrap Me
Is special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, appointed in mid-May to lead the investigation into suspected ties between Donald Trump’s campaign and various shady (aren’t they all?) Russian officials, the choirboy that he’s being touted to be, or is he more akin to a modern-day Tomas de Torquemada, the Castilian Dominican friar who was the first Grand Inquisitor in the 15th Century Spanish Inquisition?
Given the rampant media partisanship since the election, one would think that Mueller’s appointment would lend credibility to the hunt for violations of law by candidate, now President Trump and his minions.
But I have known Mueller during key moments of his career as a federal prosecutor. My experience has taught me to approach whatever he does in the Trump investigation with a requisite degree of skepticism or, at the very least, extreme caution.
When Mueller was the acting United States Attorney in Boston, I was defense counsel in a federal criminal case in which a rather odd fellow contacted me to tell me that he had information that could assist my client. He asked to see me, and I agreed to meet. He walked into my office wearing a striking, flowing white gauze-like shirt and sat down across from me at the conference table. He was prepared, he said, to give me an affidavit to the effect that certain real estate owned by my client was purchased with lawful currency rather than, as Mueller’s office was claiming, the proceeds of illegal drug activities.
My secretary typed up the affidavit that the witness was going to sign. Just as he picked up the pen, he looked at me and said something like: “You know, all of this is actually false, but your client is an old friend of mine and I want to help him.” As I threw the putative witness out of my office, I noticed, under the flowing white shirt, a lump on his back – he was obviously wired and recording every word between us.
Years later I ran into Mueller, and I told him of my disappointment in being the target of a sting where there was no reason to think that I would knowingly present perjured evidence to a court. Mueller, half-apologetically, told me that he never really thought that I would suborn perjury, but that he had a duty to pursue the lead given to him. (That “lead,” of course, was provided by a fellow that we lawyers, among ourselves, would indelicately refer to as a “scumbag.”)
This experience made me realize that Mueller was capable of believing, at least preliminarily, any tale of criminal wrongdoing and acting upon it, despite the palpable bad character and obviously questionable motivations of his informants and witnesses. (The lesson was particularly vivid because Mueller and I overlapped at Princeton, he in the Class of 1966 and me graduating in 1964.)
Years later, my wariness toward Mueller was bolstered in an even more revelatory way. When he led the criminal division of the U.S. Department of Justice, I arranged in December 1990 to meet with him in Washington. I was then lead defense counsel for Dr. Jeffrey R. MacDonald, who had been convicted in federal court in North Carolina in 1979 of murdering his wife and two young children while stationed at Fort Bragg. Years after the trial, MacDonald (also at Princeton when Mueller and I were there) hired me and my colleagues to represent him and obtain a new trial based on shocking newly discovered evidence that demonstrated MacDonald had been framed in part by the connivance of military investigators and FBI agents. Over the years, MacDonald and his various lawyers and investigators had collected a large trove of such evidence.
The day of the meeting, I walked into the DOJ conference room, where around the table sat a phalanx of FBI agents. My three colleagues joined me. Mueller walked into the room, went to the head of the table, and opened the meeting with this admonition, reconstructed from my vivid and chilling memory: “Gentlemen: Criticism of the Bureau is a non-starter.” (Another lawyer attendee of the meeting remembered Mueller’s words slightly differently: “Prosecutorial misconduct is a non-starter.” Either version makes clear Mueller’s intent – he did not want to hear evidence that either the prosecutors or the FBI agents on the case misbehaved and framed an innocent man.)
Special counsel Mueller’s background indicates zealousness that we might expect in the Grand Inquisitor, not the choirboy.
Why Special Prosecutors Are A Bad Idea
The history of special counsels (called at different times either “independent counsel” or “special prosecutor”) is checkered and troubled, resulting in considerable Supreme Court litigation around the concept of a prosecutor acting outside of the normal DOJ chain of command.
The Supreme Court in 1988 approved, with a single dissent (Justice Antonin Scalia), the concept of an independent prosecutor. Still, all subsequent efforts to appoint such a prosecutor have led to enormous disagreements over whether justice was done. Consider Kenneth Starr’s obsessive four-year, $40-million pursuit of President Bill Clinton for having sex with a White House intern and then lying about it. Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald’s 2006 pursuit of I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby is not as infamous, but it should be. Fitzgerald indicted and a jury later convicted Libby, a top aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, for lying about leaking to the New York Times the covert identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson. Subsequent revelations that there were multiple leaks and that Wilson’s CIA identity was not a secret served to discredit Libby’s indictment. Libby’s sentence was commuted. Libby’s relatively speedy reinstatement into the bar is seen by many as evidence of his unfair conviction. Considered in tandem, the campaigns against Democrat Clinton and Republican Libby raise disturbing questions about the use of special or independent prosecutors.
Yet despite the constitutional issues, the most serious problem with a special counsel is that when a prosecutor is appointed to examine closely the lives and affairs of a pre-selected group of targets, that prosecutor is almost certain to stumble across multiple actions that might be deemed criminal under the sprawling and incredibly vague federal criminal code.
In Mueller’s case, one can have a very high degree of confidence that he will uncover alleged felonies within the ranks of the inner circle of the President’s men (there are very few women to investigate in this administration). This could well include Trump himself.
I described this phenomenon long before Trump began his improbable rise, in my 2009 book “Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent” (Encounter Books, updated edition, 2011). I explained how federal “fraud” statutes were so vague that just about any action in the daily life of a typically busy professional might be squeezed into the elastic definition of some kind of federal felony. Harvard Law Professor (and, I should note, my former professor and subsequent longtime friend and colleague) Alan Dershowitz has beaten me to the punch, making the case in a raft of articles and on TV and radio that none of the evidence thus far leaked to or adduced by investigative reporters constitute federal crimes.
But Mueller’s demonstrated zeal and ample resources virtually assure that indictments will come, even in the absence of actual crimes rather than behavior that is simply “politics as usual”. If Mueller claims that Trump or members of his entourage committed crimes, it doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily so. We should take Mueller and his prosecutorial team with a grain of salt. But a grain of salt seems an outmoded concept in an age when both sides – Trump and his critics – seem impervious to inconvenient facts. The most appropriate slogan for all the combatants on both sides of the Trump wars (including, alas, the reporters and their editors) might well be: “Don’t confuse me with the facts; my mind is made up.”

SAN DIEGO, April 1, 2026 — After intervention by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a California school district expunged its suspension of a high school junior for putting up a pro-ICE poster.
On Feb. 6, hundreds of students at Torrey Pines High School peacefully staged a mid-school- day walkout to protest ICE and U.S. immigration enforcement policy. They held posters displaying statements including, “If You’re an I.C.E. Agent Ya Mom’s a Hoe!!,” “FUCK ICE,” and “ICE is KKK spelled differently.”

two weeks later, the school suspended a student for posting pro-ICE
flyers reading “We I.C.E. – Real Americans.” The school claimed the
flyers, which caused no disruption at the school — and were displayed in
a common area where other students have posted political material
— nevertheless constituted “harassment” and “intimidation.”
“School administrators can’t pick and choose which opinions students are allowed to express,” said FIRE Supervising Senior Attorney Conor Fitzpatrick. “Voicing an opinion which makes others upset is not ‘harassment’ or ‘intimidation,’ it is American democracy in action.”
After the student secured representation from FIRE litigators, the school agreed to expunge the suspension from his record.
“We’re pleased the school has erased the suspension and will be watching closely to ensure the school respects its students’ First Amendment rights,” said Fitzpatrick. “The law is clear: Public schools must allow students to peacefully express their political opinions.”
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to defending and sustaining the individual rights of all Americans to free speech and free thought — the most essential qualities of liberty. FIRE educates Americans about the importance of these inalienable rights, promotes a culture of respect for these rights, and provides the means to preserve them.

"President Donald Trump has added a veteran Washington lawyer to the
team representing him in the investigations of possible collusion by
the Trump campaign with Russia, including the criminal probe being led
by special counsel Robert Mueller.
John Dowd, who has represented key figures in a variety white-collar
criminal matters and investigations, has joined the president's
defense team led by New York lawyer Marc Kasowitz, Mark Corallo, a
spokesman for the team, said on Friday.
Another well-known white-collar Washington lawyer will likely join the
team shortly, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Dowd, 76, represented U.S. Senator John McCain on congressional ethics
charges in the "Keating Five" banking scandal in the late 1980s and
early 1990s. McCain was cleared in the matter.?

Who is Jay Sekulow, Donald Trump's contradictory new lawyer?
The conservative attorney was thrust into the spotlight as part of
Trump’s legal team in the Russia investigation – though he seems hazy
on the actual details
Donald Trump’s new attorney, Jay Sekulow, burst into the public
consciousness this weekend with a series of fiery – if contradictory –
interviews on the Sunday morning news shows.
The chief counsel for the conservative American Center for Law and
Justice (ACLJ) was thrust into the spotlight as a member of the
president’s legal team regarding investigations into Russian
interference in the 2016 election campaign and links between Trump
aides and Moscow.

Date: 20151223
Docket: T-1557-15
Fredericton, New Brunswick, December 23, 2015
PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice Bell
BETWEEN:
DAVID RAYMOND AMOS
Plaintiff
and
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
Defendant
ORDER
(Delivered orally from the Bench in Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
December 14, 2015)
The Plaintiff seeks an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
the Federal Courts Rules (SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
12, 2015, in which Prothonotary Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
in its entirety.
At the outset of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
letter dated September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
capacity as Past President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
Bar Association, and the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
(now a Justice of the New Brunswick Court of Appeal). In that letter
he stated:
As for your past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
work of Frank McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
You are your brother’s keeper.
Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick and a former
colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition to
expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number of
people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be witnesses
or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known to
me personally, include, but are not limited to the former Prime
Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper; former
Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court of
Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
former Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
Chief of the Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
Sergeant Danny Copp; my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
of Appeal, Justices Bradley V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang of the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police.
In the circumstances, given the threat in 2004 to sue me in my
personal capacity and my past and present relationship with many
potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the litigation, I am
of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias should I
hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment in
Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et al,
[1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test regarding
allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party has
requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do so.
AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the Administrator of
the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the motion. There
is no order as to costs.
“B. Richard Bell”
Judge
Below after the CBC article about your concerns (I made one comment
already) you will find the text of just two of many emails I had sent

Dear Mr. Amos,
Thank you for your follow up e-mail to me today. I was on days off
over the holidays and returned to work this evening. Rest assured I
was not ignoring or procrastinating to respond to your concerns.
As your attachment sent today refers from Premier Graham, our position
is clear on your dead calf issue: Our forensic labs do not process
testing on animals in cases such as yours, they are referred to the
Atlantic Veterinary College in Charlottetown who can provide these
services. If you do not choose to utilize their expertise in this
instance, then that is your decision and nothing more can be done.
As for your other concerns regarding the US Government, false
imprisonment and Federal Court Dates in the US, etc... it is clear
that Federal authorities are aware of your concerns both in Canada
the US. These issues do not fall into the purvue of Detachment
and policing in Petitcodiac, NB.
It was indeed an interesting and informative conversation we had on
December 23rd, and I wish you well in all of your future endeavors.
Sincerely,
Warren McBeath, Cpl.

Little David Amos’ “True History Of War” Canadian Airstrikes And
Stupid Justin Trudeau
Canada’s and Canadians free ride is over. Canada can no longer hide
behind Amerka’s and NATO’s skirts.
When I was still in Canadian Forces then Prime Minister Jean Chretien
actually committed the Canadian Army to deploy in the second campaign
in Iraq, the Coalition of the Willing. This was against or contrary to
the wisdom or advice of those of us Canadian officers that were
involved in the initial planning phases of that operation. There were
significant concern in our planning cell, and NDHQ about of the dearth
of concern for operational guidance, direction, and forces for
operations after the initial occupation of Iraq. At the “last minute”
Prime Minister Chretien and the Liberal government changed its mind.
The Canadian government told our amerkan cousins that we would not
deploy combat troops for the Iraq campaign, but would deploy a
Canadian Battle Group to Afghanistan, enabling our amerkan cousins to
redeploy troops from there to Iraq. The PMO’s thinking that it was
less costly to deploy Canadian Forces to Afghanistan than Iraq. But
alas no one seems to remind the Liberals of Prime Minister Chretien’s
then grossly incorrect assumption. Notwithstanding Jean Chretien’s
incompetence and stupidity, the Canadian Army was heroic,
professional, punched well above it’s weight, and the PPCLI Battle
Group, is credited with “saving Afghanistan” during the Panjway
campaign of 2006.
What Justin Trudeau and the Liberals don’t tell you now, is that then
Liberal Prime Minister Jean Chretien committed, and deployed the
Canadian army to Canada’s longest “war” without the advice, consent,
support, or vote of the Canadian Parliament.
What David Amos and the rest of the ignorant, uneducated, and babbling
chattering classes are too addled to understand is the deployment of
less than 75 special operations troops, and what is known by planners
as a “six pac cell” of fighter aircraft is NOT the same as a
deployment of a Battle Group, nor a “war” make.
The Canadian Government or The Crown unlike our amerkan cousins have
the “constitutional authority” to commit the Canadian nation to war.
That has been recently clearly articulated to the Canadian public by
constitutional scholar Phillippe Legasse. What Parliament can do is
remove “confidence” in The Crown’s Government in a “vote of
non-confidence.” That could not happen to the Chretien Government
regarding deployment to Afghanistan, and it won’t happen in this
instance with the conservative majority in The Commons regarding a
limited Canadian deployment to the Middle East.
President George Bush was quite correct after 911 and the terror
attacks in New York; that the Taliban “occupied” and “failed state”
Afghanistan was the source of logistical support, command and control,
and training for the Al Quaeda war of terror against the world. The
initial defeat, and removal from control of Afghanistan was vital and
essential for the security and tranquility of the developed world. An
ISIS “caliphate,” in the Middle East, no matter how small, is a clear
and present danger to the entire world. This “occupied state,”
or“failed state” will prosecute an unending Islamic inspired war of
terror against not only the “western world,” but Arab states
“moderate” or not, as well. The security, safety, and tranquility of
Canada and Canadians are just at risk now with the emergence of an
ISIS“caliphate” no matter how large or small, as it was with the
Taliban and Al Quaeda “marriage” in Afghanistan.
One of the everlasting “legacies” of the “Trudeau the Elder’s dynasty
was Canada and successive Liberal governments cowering behind the
amerkan’s nuclear and conventional military shield, at the same time
denigrating, insulting them, opposing them, and at the same time
self-aggrandizing ourselves as “peace keepers,” and progenitors of
“world peace.” Canada failed. The United States of Amerka, NATO, the
G7 and or G20 will no longer permit that sort of sanctimonious
behavior from Canada or its government any longer. And Prime Minister
Stephen Harper, Foreign Minister John Baird , and Cabinet are fully
cognizant of that reality. Even if some editorial boards, and pundits
are not.
Justin, Trudeau “the younger” is reprising the time “honoured” liberal
mantra, and tradition of expecting the amerkans or the rest of the
world to do “the heavy lifting.” Justin Trudeau and his “butt buddy”
David Amos are telling Canadians that we can guarantee our security
and safety by expecting other nations to fight for us. That Canada can
and should attempt to guarantee Canadians safety by providing
“humanitarian aid” somewhere, and call a sitting US president a “war
criminal.” This morning Australia announced they too, were sending
tactical aircraft to eliminate the menace of an ISIS “caliphate.”
In one sense Prime Minister Harper is every bit the scoundrel Trudeau
“the elder” and Jean ‘the crook” Chretien was. Just As Trudeau, and
successive Liberal governments delighted in diminishing,
marginalizing, under funding Canadian Forces, and sending Canadian
military men and women to die with inadequate kit and modern
equipment; so too is Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Canada’s F-18s are
antiquated, poorly equipped, and ought to have been replaced five
years ago. But alas, there won’t be single RCAF fighter jock that
won’t go, or won’t want to go, to make Canada safe or safer.
My Grandfather served this country. My father served this country. My
Uncle served this country. And I have served this country. Justin
Trudeau has not served Canada in any way. Thomas Mulcair has not
served this country in any way. Liberals and so called social
democrats haven’t served this country in any way. David Amos, and
other drooling fools have not served this great nation in any way. Yet
these fools are more than prepared to ensure their, our safety to
other nations, and then criticize them for doing so.
Canada must again, now, “do our bit” to guarantee our own security,
and tranquility, but also that of the world. Canada has never before
shirked its responsibility to its citizens and that of the world.
Prime Minister Harper will not permit this country to do so now

I talked to Don Newman earlier this week before the beancounters David
Dodge and Don Drummond now of Queen's gave their spin about Canada's
Health Care system yesterday and Sheila Fraser yapped on and on on
CAPAC during her last days in office as if she were oh so ethical.. To
be fair to him I just called Greg Weston (613-288-6938) I suggested
that he should at least Google SOUCOM and David Amos It would be wise
if he check ALL of CBC's sources before he publishes something else
about the DND EH Don Newman? Lets just say that the fact that your

never impressed me. The fact that he set up a Canadian office is
interesting though

"But Lang, defence minister McCallum's chief of staff, says military
brass were not entirely forthcoming on the issue. For instance, he
says, even McCallum initially didn't know those soldiers were helping
to plan the invasion of Iraq up to the highest levels of command,
including a Canadian general.
That general is Walt Natynczyk, now Canada's chief of defence staff,
who eight months after the invasion became deputy commander of 35,000
U.S. soldiers and other allied forces in Iraq. Lang says Natynczyk was
also part of the team of mainly senior U.S. military brass that helped
prepare for the invasion from a mobile command in Kuwait."
http://baconfat53.blogspot.
"I remember years ago when the debate was on in Canada, about there
being weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Our American 'friends"
demanded that Canada join into "the Coalition of the Willing. American
"veterans" and sportscasters loudly denounced Canada for NOT buying
into the US policy.
At the time I was serving as a planner at NDHQ and with 24 other of my
colleagues we went to Tampa SOUCOM HQ to be involved in the planning
in the planning stages of the op....and to report to NDHQ, that would
report to the PMO upon the merits of the proposed operation. There was
never at anytime an existing target list of verified sites where there
were deployed WMD.
Coalition assets were more than sufficient for the initial strike and
invasion phase but even at that point in the planning, we were
concerned about the number of "boots on the ground" for the occupation
(and end game) stage of an operation in Iraq. We were also concerned
about the American plans for occupation plans of Iraq because they at
that stage included no contingency for a handing over of civil
authority to a vetted Iraqi government and bureaucracy.
There was no detailed plan for Iraq being "liberated" and returned to
its people...nor a thought to an eventual exit plan. This was contrary
to the lessons of Vietnam but also to current military thought, that
folks like Colin Powell and "Stuffy" Leighton and others elucidated
upon. "What's the mission" how long is the mission, what conditions
are to met before US troop can redeploy? Prime Minister Jean Chretien
and the PMO were even at the very preliminary planning stages wary of
Canadian involvement in an Iraq operation....History would prove them
correct. The political pressure being applied on the PMO from the
George W Bush administration was onerous
American military assets were extremely overstretched, and Canadian
military assets even more so It was proposed by the PMO that Canadian
naval platforms would deploy to assist in naval quarantine operations
in the Gulf and that Canadian army assets would deploy in Afghanistan
thus permitting US army assets to redeploy for an Iraqi
operation....The PMO thought that "compromise would save Canadian
lives and liberal political capital.. and the priority of which
....not necessarily in that order. "
You can bet that I called these sneaky Yankees again today EH John
Adams? of the CSE within the DND?

Sen. Amy Klobuchar considering run for Minnesota governor after Tim Walz ends reelection bid, sources say
Updated on: January 5, 2026 / 1:07 PM CST / CBS Minnesota
Democratic U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar is seriously considering a run for governor in the wake of Tim Walz's decision Monday to end his bid for a third term.
Sources close to Klobuchar tell CBS News she is getting outreach encouraging her to run, but that she has not made a final decision yet.

Klobuchar Meets with Members of Canadian Parliament
March 18, 2026
(Left to Right) MP Ahmed Hussen, MP Richard Bragdon, U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), MP Lisa Hepfner, and Senator Mohammad Al Zaibak
WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) met with a delegation of Canadian Members of Parliament who participate in the Canada-U.S. Inter-Parliamentary Group (IPG). The delegation included MPs Richard Bragdon, Ahmed Hussen, and Lisa Hepfner, and Senator Mohammad Al Zaibak.
“As co-chair of the bipartisan United States and Canada group, I’m committed to strengthening the economic, security, and cultural ties between our countries. This productive meeting focused on key issues, including the Administration’s tariffs that are threatening our relationship with Canada and hurting the economy on both sides of the border. I will continue to oppose these tariffs, as they increase costs, harm businesses, and put jobs at risk.”
Last week, Klobuchar, along with Senators Tim Kaine (D-VA) and Raphael Warnock (D-GA), introduced the Reclaim Trade Powers Act, legislation to end the President’s latest 10 percent tariffs on most goods by repealing Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974.
Last month, legislation to repeal President Trump’s International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) tariffs on Canada was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives. In October, similar bipartisan legislation led by Senators Klobuchar, Kaine, Paul and Warner passed the Senate 50-46.
The Canada-U.S. Inter-Parliamentary Group was established in 1959 as a forum for U.S. members of Congress and Canadian parliamentarians to have an ongoing dialogue on major issues of mutual concern. Senator Klobuchar serves as co-chair of the group together with Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND). MP Richard Bragdon serves as one of the Canadian co-chairs.

Amy Jean Klobuchar (/ˈkloʊbəʃɑːr/ KLOH-bə-shar; born May 25, 1960) is an American politician and lawyer serving as the senior United States senator from Minnesota, a seat she has held since 2007. A member of the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL), Minnesota's affiliate of the Democratic Party, she previously served as county attorney of Hennepin County, Minnesota. She is running for governor of Minnesota in the 2026 election[1]
Born in Plymouth, Minnesota, Klobuchar graduated from Yale University and the University of Chicago Law School. She was a partner at two Minneapolis law firms before being elected county attorney of Hennepin County in 1998, making her responsible for all criminal prosecution in Minnesota's most populous county. Klobuchar was first elected to the Senate in 2006, succeeding Mark Dayton to become Minnesota's first elected female United States senator. She became Minnesota's senior senator in 2009, when Norm Coleman left the Senate following his defeat. She was reelected by a landslide in 2012, winning 85 of the state's 87 counties, before being reelected again in 2018.[2] Klobuchar's political positions align with modern liberalism. She has focused on healthcare reform, consumer protection, abortion rights, agriculture, and climate change.[3][4][5]
On February 10, 2019, Klobuchar announced her candidacy for the Democratic nomination for president of the United States in the 2020 election; on March 2, 2020, she suspended her campaign and endorsed Joe Biden.[6][7] In 2021, she became the chair of the Senate Rules Committee. She was reelected to a fourth Senate term in 2024, defeating Republican nominee Royce White. In January 2026, she announced her candidacy for governor of Minnesota after incumbent Tim Walz withdrew from the race.[8][9]
Early life and education
Born in Plymouth, Minnesota, Klobuchar is the daughter of Rose (née Heuberger) and Jim Klobuchar. Her mother taught second grade until she retired at age 70.[10] Her father was a sportswriter and columnist for the Star Tribune.[11] He was of Slovene descent and her mother of German-Swiss ancestry.[12][13]
Klobuchar's parents divorced when she was 15. The divorce took a toll on the family; her relationship with her father was not fully restored until he quit drinking in the 1990s.[14]
She attended public schools in Plymouth and was valedictorian at Wayzata High School,[15][16] where she was also class treasurer and secretary.[17] She received her Bachelor of Arts magna cum laude in political science in 1982 from Yale University.[18] While at Yale, Klobuchar spent time as an intern for former Vice President and former Minnesota senator Walter Mondale.[19] Her senior thesis, Uncovering the Dome,[20] a 250-page history of the ten years of politics surrounding the building of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome in Minneapolis, was published by Waveland Press in 1986. After Yale, Klobuchar enrolled at the University of Chicago Law School, where she served as an associate editor of the University of Chicago Law Review and earned her J.D. with high honors in 1985.[21]
Early career
After law school, Klobuchar worked as a corporate lawyer.[19] Before seeking public office, besides working as a prosecutor, Klobuchar was a partner at the Minnesota law firms Dorsey & Whitney and Gray Plant Mooty, where she specialized in "regulatory work in telecommunications law".[22][23][24] Her first foray into politics came after she gave birth and was forced to leave the hospital 24 hours later, a situation exacerbated by the fact that Klobuchar's daughter, Abigail,[19] was born with a disorder that prevented her from swallowing. The experience led Klobuchar to appear before the Minnesota State Legislature, advocating for a bill that would guarantee new mothers a 48-hour hospital stay. Minnesota passed the bill and President Bill Clinton later made the policy federal law.[19]
Klobuchar was first a candidate for public office in 1994 when she ran for Hennepin County attorney. But she had pledged to drop out if the incumbent, Michael Freeman, got back in the race after failing to win the endorsement of the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor (DFL) Party for governor. Keeping this pledge, she quit the race in June 1994 and supported Freeman for reelection.[25] Before running for office, Klobuchar was active in supporting DFL candidates, including Freeman in 1990. The county attorney election is nonpartisan, but Freeman, like Klobuchar, is a Democrat.
Hennepin County attorney
Klobuchar was elected Hennepin County attorney in 1998, running after Freeman declined to seek an additional term.[26][19] In the nonpartisan election, she defeated Republican Sheryl Ramstad Hvass by a margin of less than 1%. Klobuchar was reelected unopposed in 2002.[27]
In 2001, Minnesota Lawyer named her "Attorney of the Year".[28][29] Klobuchar was president of the Minnesota County Attorneys Association from November 2002 to November 2003.[30]
In 2002, Klobuchar spearheaded an effort that resulted in state laws being altered to allow felony charges to be brought against repeat drunk driving offenders. In 2003, Klobuchar dealt with one of her highest-profile cases when the Hennepin County Attorney's Office brought several charges against former professional baseball player Kirby Puckett related to an alleged sex crime. Puckett was acquitted by a jury of all charges brought against him.[27]
Klobuchar took a "tough-on-crime" approach. At the time she took office, there was a crime wave in Minneapolis, with the city's murder rate much higher than the national rate. Klobuchar had won election on the slogan "More Trials, More Convictions". She pursued heavier sentencing and less favorable plea deals, and sought to bring more cases to trial. By the end of her first year, she had significantly increased the number of cases brought and convictions secured.[31] Under Klobuchar, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office prosecuted people for possession of khat. At the time, it was rare in the United States for prosecutors to pursue prosecution on such charges.[32] Klobuchar also brought felony charges against a number of men for failure to pay child support.[33]
Klobuchar pursued tougher sentencing in hopes of deterring crime. For some smaller offenses, such as vandalism, she regularly sought sentences that exceeded the recommended duration. This was true for both adult and minor defendants. For property crime offenders who had five prior convictions, Klobuchar's office similarly pursued longer sentences than had been recommended.[33] Klobuchar declared that she intended to scrutinize judges who were "letting offenders off the hook too easily". In 2000, a successful appeal by Klobuchar lengthened by two days a sentence that a judge gave an immigrant defendant, which placed the defendant at a greatly increased risk of deportation. The judge had originally imposed a sentence of 364 days. A sentence of 365 days or greater was likely to lead to the defendant's deportation, and the two days Klobuchar added placed the defendant over that threshold. An analysis by the Vera Institute of Justice found that during Klobuchar's tenure, there was a 20% increase in the number of prison inmates in Hennepin County, which the analysis attributed to the harsher sentences Klobuchar sought.[31]
During Klobuchar's tenure, there was a decrease in the disparity between the rates of African American and white rates of imprisonment, but the disparity remained pronounced,[31] at quadruple the national average (per the Vera Institute of Justice).[33]
Klobuchar successfully prosecuted teenage defendant Myon Burrell for the 2002 murder of 11-year-old Tyesha Edwards by gunshot. Both Burrell and Edwards were African American. For much of her subsequent career, Klobuchar highlighted this case, framing it both as an example of her toughness on crime as well as an example of her fighting to provide justice for African-American communities affected by gun crime. Burrell remained steadfast in claiming that he was innocent. In late January 2020, during Klobuchar's presidential campaign, the Associated Press called attention to flaws in the case against Burrell, and quoted a co-defendant in the trial as having admitted that he, not Burrell, had actually fired the shot that killed Edwards.[34] APM Reports also uncovered further consequential flaws with the case against Burrell.[35] Due to these circumstances, his sentence was commuted by the Minnesota Board of Pardons in December 2020.[36]
In 2004, Klobuchar supported the presidential campaign of U.S. senator John Kerry, traveling across Minnesota as a campaign surrogate.[27]
Klobuchar did not prosecute any cases related to police brutality.[37] During her tenure, Hennepin County saw 30 recorded police-involved deaths.[38] Some of these deaths resulted in public controversy, but Klobuchar did not bring any charges.[37] As was common practice at the time, especially in Minnesota, to determine whether to bring charges in such instances, Klobuchar relied on grand jury recommendations.[39] Critics of her use of grand juries alleged that it lacked transparency and was perhaps a tactic for Klobuchar to distance herself from responsibility for the decisions made.[31][39] After the 2020 murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis Police custody, renewed attention was brought to Klobuchar's tenure as Hennepin County Attorney. She was retrospectively criticized for not prosecuting police misconduct during her tenure. Attention was also brought to the fact that during Klobuchar's tenure an officer-involved killing had occurred that involved Officer Derek Chauvin, who later murdered Floyd. This killing did not result in prosecution. The killing occurred in October 2006, several months before Klobuchar left office, and a grand jury was empaneled by her successor (Freeman, who returned for a second stint as county attorney). The grand jury did not recommend any charges.[40] This renewed scrutiny arose several months after Klobuchar concluded her presidential campaign, and while reporting had named her as a potential running mate of presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden.[41]
U.S. Senate
Elections
2006
In early 2005, after U.S. senator Mark Dayton announced that he would not seek reelection in 2006, Klobuchar became an early favorite for the DFL nomination. She had originally planned to run for attorney general of Minnesota, but was persuaded to run for Senate.[27][42] Emily's List endorsed her on September 29, 2005, and Klobuchar won the DFL endorsement on June 9, 2006. She gained the support of the majority of DFL state legislators in Minnesota during the primaries. A poll of DFL state delegates showed Klobuchar beating her then closest opponent, Patty Wetterling, 66% to 15%. In January Wetterling dropped out of the race and endorsed Klobuchar. Former Senate candidate and prominent lawyer Mike Ciresi, who was widely seen as a serious potential DFL candidate, indicated in early February that he would not enter the race; that was viewed as an important boost for Klobuchar.[42]
In the general election Klobuchar faced Republican candidate Mark Kennedy, Independence Party candidate Robert Fitzgerald, Constitution candidate Ben Powers, and Green Party candidate Michael Cavlan. Klobuchar led in the polls throughout the campaign, and won with 58% of the vote to Kennedy's 38% and Fitzgerald's 3%, carrying 79 of Minnesota's 87 counties. She is the first woman to be elected U.S. senator from Minnesota. (Muriel Humphrey, the state's first female senator and former second lady of the United States, was appointed to fill her husband's unexpired term and not elected.)[43]
2012
Klobuchar won a second term in the U.S. Senate, defeating Republican state representative Kurt Bills by a margin of 35 percentage points (65.23% to 30.53%), carrying all but two counties.[44][45]
2018
Klobuchar ran for a third term and was reelected by a 24-point margin.[46] The Republican nominee was state representative Jim Newberger. The race was not seen as close, with Klobuchar outraising Newberger $9.9 million to $210,066 as of October 17. Klobuchar maintained a double-digit lead in the polls all autumn.[47]
2024
In 2024, Klobuchar won a fourth term. In May, she won the DFL endorsement to be the Democratic nominee for the race.[48] She won the primary election on August 13, and defeated Republican nominee Royce White in the general election.[49]
Tenure
A September 2009 poll found 58% of Minnesotans approved of the job Klobuchar was doing and 36% disapproved.[50] On March 12, 2010, Rasmussen Reports indicated 67% of Minnesotans approved of the job she was doing. The Winona Daily News described her as a "rare politician who works across the aisle". Walter Mondale said, "She has done better in that miserable Senate than most people there."[51]

At the end of the 114th Congress in late 2016, Klobuchar had passed more legislation than any other senator.[52] In February 2017 she called for an independent, bipartisan commission to investigate ties between Russia and President Donald Trump and his administration. Concern about Trump's ties to Russia increased after reports that his campaign officials had repeated contact with senior Russian intelligence officials before the 2016 United States elections.[53][54] Klobuchar had already signaled her interest in U.S.–Russia relations in December 2016 when she joined Republican senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham on a trip to the Baltic states and Ukraine.[55] She maintained high approval ratings throughout 2017, with an April 2017 Star Tribune poll placing her approval rating at 72%.[56] In October 2017 Morning Consult listed Klobuchar among the 10 senators with the highest approval ratings, and a November 2017 KSTP-TV poll put her approval rating at 56%.[57][58] An April 2019 Morning Consult poll found Klobuchar to be the third-most popular sitting senator, with a 58% approval rating and 26% disapproval rating, behind only Vermont senators Bernie Sanders and Patrick Leahy.[59]
According to the Center for Effective Lawmaking, Klobuchar scored "above expectations" with respect to how successful she was at moving significant legislation in the 115th Congress (2017–18).[60]
During the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination hearings in 2018, Kavanaugh gave heated responses to Klobuchar's questions about whether he had ever experienced memory loss after consuming alcohol, for which he later apologized.[61]
There has been negative publicity about Klobuchar's treatment of her staff throughout her tenure in office.[62][63] In February 2019, BuzzFeed News reported that interviews with former staffers and reviews of emails indicated that Klobuchar frequently abused and humiliated her employees, requiring significant staff time to manage her ire. The article reported that other employees found her to be "fair and effective" and a good boss.[64] Politico reported that Klobuchar had the highest annual staff turnover rate of any senator—36%—between 2011 and 2016.[65] A Huffington Post article alleged she had a reputation for mistreating her staff, with some staff alleging she was prone to bursts of cruelty.[66] In response to the negative reports, 61 former staffers wrote an open letter praising Klobuchar, stating that she was a caring "mentor and friend" to them.[67]
In the 115th Congress, she was absent for 0.5% of votes, with two-thirds of the senators missing more votes.[68] In the 116th Congress (2019–2021), during her presidential campaign, she had missed 39.1% of votes as of January 2020, making her the 5th-most absent senator.[69]
Klobuchar was at the U.S. Capitol when Trump supporters stormed it on January 6, 2021. As ranking Democrat on the Senate Rules Committee, she and Senator Roy Blunt co-led Senate deliberations during the 2021 United States Electoral College vote count.[70] She also served as a teller, along with Blunt, Representative Rodney Davis, and Representative Zoe Lofgren.[71] After Senate Republicans, led by Senator Ted Cruz, objected to certifying Arizona's electoral votes, Klobuchar participated in the debate on the Senate floor. Shortly after she gave her remarks, the Capitol was breached.[72] As the Senate adjourned, Klobuchar was alerted on her phone that shots were fired inside the Capitol, which she announced to those present.[73] Immediately, Klobuchar, fellow senators, staff and journalists were evacuated from the chambers to a secure location.[73][74] When the Capitol was secure, Congress reconvened and the election count was certified in the early morning of January 7. Klobuchar supported the certification. Later that day, Klobuchar said she supported the invocation of the Twenty-fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution to remove Trump from office "because you cannot have a president basically leading an insurrection against our own country's government."[75] She also called for investigations into the breach.[76]

Klobuchar was the first speaker at Joe Biden's inauguration on January 20, 2021.[77][78]
Role in the Democratic Party
On March 30, 2008, Klobuchar announced her endorsement of Senator Barack Obama in the Democratic presidential primary, promising her superdelegate vote to him.[79] She cited his performance in the Minnesota caucuses, where he won with 66% of the popular vote, as well as her own "independent judgment". In 2016 she was an early supporter of Hillary Clinton's second campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination.[80]
Klobuchar has served as the chair of the U.S. Senate Democratic Steering and Outreach Committee since 2015.[81] She became the steering chair of the committee in 2017, with Bernie Sanders as the outreach chair.[82] Both represented the Democratic Party in a 2017 televised debate on healthcare policy and the possible repeal of the Affordable Care Act on CNN.[83]
In 2020, Klobuchar was speculated to be a possible candidate for secretary of agriculture or United States attorney general in the Biden administration.[84]
Deepfake video
On July 31, 2025, a deepfake video of Klobuchar was published on Twitter[85] and went viral.[86][87] The video used footage of a July 30 Senate hearing[87][88] and purported to show her speaking vulgarly in response to American Eagle's July 2025 ad campaign involving Sydney Sweeney.[86][87][88] In a New York Times op-ed on the subject published on August 20,[89] Klobuchar wrote that Twitter "refused to take it down or label it" as AI-generated, instead recommending that she try to have a Community Note added to the tweet.[87][88] She implored Congress to pass legislation regulating deepfakes and other AI-generated content.[86][87]

2020 presidential campaign
.jpg)
The New York Times and The New Yorker named Klobuchar as one of the women most likely to become the first female president of the United States,[123][124] and MSNBC and The New Yorker named her as a possible nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court.[125][126]
On February 10, 2019, Klobuchar announced her candidacy in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries.[127] She has said that she uses humor as one way to distinguish herself among the many other Democratic candidates in the 2020 campaign.[128]
On January 19, 2020, The New York Times editorial board endorsed Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren for president.[129][130]
On March 2, 2020, the day before Super Tuesday, Klobuchar suspended her campaign and endorsed Joe Biden.[131]
On May 21, 2020, it was reported that Biden asked several women, including Klobuchar, to undergo formal vetting for consideration as his vice-presidential running mate.[132][133] On June 18, Klobuchar withdrew herself from consideration, saying that Biden should choose a woman of color.[134]
2026 Minnesota gubernatorial campaign
On January 22, 2026, Klobuchar filed to run for governor of Minnesota after incumbent Tim Walz withdrew from the race.[8] On January 29, she officially confirmed her candidacy.[9]
Political positions
.jpg)
Klobuchar's political positions have generally been in line with modern American liberalism. She is pro-choice on abortion, supports LGBT rights and the Affordable Care Act, and was critical of the Iraq War. During the 115th Congress, she voted in line with President Donald Trump's position on legislation 31.1 percent of the time.[135]
According to GovTrack, Klobuchar passed more legislation than any other senator by the end of the 114th Congress in late 2016.[52] According to Congress.gov, as of December 16, 2018, she had sponsored or co-sponsored 111 pieces of legislation that became law.[136]
In 2023, the Lugar Center ranked Klobuchar in the top fifth of senators for bipartisanship.[137]
Notable legislation
Antitrust
Klobuchar introduced the Competition and Antitrust Law Enforcement Reform Act (S. 225), also known as the Klobuchar Bill, on February 4, 2021. The bill aimed to strengthen U.S. antitrust enforcement by raising standards for certain mergers and requiring dominant firms to prove their deals would not significantly reduce competition. It also proposed banning exclusionary conduct, increasing funding for enforcement agencies, and creating new civil penalties. Supporters saw it as a response to market concentration, while critics expressed concerns about potential overregulation.[138]
Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act
The Protect Elections from Deceptive AI Act is bipartisan legislation that would ban the use of artificial intelligence to produce and distribute materially deceptive audio or visual media in federal election communications. Introduced in September 2023 by Senators Klobuchar, Josh Hawley, Chris Coons, and Susan Collins, the bill targets AI-generated “deepfake” content that falsely depicts federal candidates with the intent to influence elections or solicit funds. It includes exemptions for satire, parody, and news reporting. As then-chair of the Senate Rules Committee, Klobuchar advanced the bill through committee in 2024 as part of a broader legislative package on AI and elections.[139][140][141][142]
TAKE IT DOWN Act
The Tools to Address Known Exploitation by Immobilizing Technological Deepfakes on Websites and Networks Act (TAKE IT DOWN Act) is a bipartisan U.S. law addressing the non-consensual online publication of intimate images, including AI-generated “deepfakes.” Introduced in the Senate by Ted Cruz with Klobuchar as the lead Democratic co-sponsor, the law criminalizes the knowing distribution or threat to distribute such content in interstate commerce. It also requires social media and other online platforms to remove reported content, and reasonable copies, within 48 hours of receiving notice from a victim. The legislation passed the Senate unanimously in early 2025, was approved by the House in the spring, and was signed into law by President Donald Trump on May 19, 2025.[143][144][145][146]
Personal life and family
In 1993, Klobuchar married John Bessler, a private practice attorney and a professor at the University of Baltimore School of Law. They have a daughter who graduated from Yale University and worked as a legislative director for New York councilman Keith Powers.[19][147]
Klobuchar is a member of the United Church of Christ[148] and is a cousin of musician Zola Jesus.[149][150]
In September 2021, Klobuchar revealed that she had been diagnosed with Stage 1A breast cancer in February 2021, that she had undergone a successful lumpectomy, and that in May she had completed a course of radiation treatment. In August, her doctors determined that the treatments had all been successful and she was cancer free.[151] In July 2024, Klobuchar announced that she was still cancer free after she underwent a small surgery and brief radiation treatment.[152]
Klobuchar's grandparents were immigrants from Slovenia's White Carniola region. Her paternal grandfather was a miner on Minnesota's Iron Range.[12][13] Her maternal grandparents emigrated from Switzerland to the United States.[153]
Awards and honors
Klobuchar has received a number of awards during her career. Minnesota Lawyer named her "Attorney of the Year" in 2001[29] and Mothers Against Drunk Driving gave her a leadership award for advocating for successful passage of Minnesota's first felony DWI law.[154] Working Mother named her a 2008 "Best in Congress" for her efforts on behalf of working families, and The American Prospect named her a "woman to watch".[154]
In 2012, Klobuchar received the Sheldon Coleman Great Outdoors Award at a special Great Outdoors Week celebration presented by the American Recreation Coalition.[155] She was one of the recipients of the Agricultural Retailers Association's 2012 Legislator of the Year Award, alongside Republican representative John Mica.[156] In 2013, Klobuchar received an award for her leadership in the fight to prevent sexual assault in the military at a national summit hosted by the Service Women's Action Network (SWAN).[157] Also, in 2013, she received a Friend of CACFP award for her leadership in passing the Healthy Hunger Free Kids act and her efforts to set new nutrition standards for all meals served in the CACFP by the National Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) Sponsors Association.[158] Klobuchar and Senator Al Franken received the 2014 Friends of Farm Bureau Award from the Minnesota branch of the American Farm Bureau Federation.[159] She received the American Bar Association's Congressional Justice Award in 2015 for her efforts to protect vulnerable populations from violence, exploitation, and assault and to eliminate discrimination in the workplace.[160] Also in 2015 the National Consumers League honored Klobuchar with the Trumpeter Award for her work "on regulation to strengthen consumer product safety legislation, on ensuring a fair and competitive marketplace, and increasing accessibility to communications, specifically in the wireless space".[161] In 2016, she received the Goodwill Policymaker Award from Goodwill Industries for her commitment to the nonprofit sector and leading the Nonprofit Energy Efficiency Act.[162] In 2017, she received the Arabella Babb Mansfield Award from the National Association of Women Lawyers[163] and was chosen as the Mary Louise Smith Chair in Women and Politics for the Carrie Chapman Catt Center at Iowa State University.[164] In 2021, Klobuchar received the Award for Distinguished Public Service from the Association of American Publishers.[165] During an official visit to Ukraine in August 2022, she was awarded the Ukrainian Order of Merit, First Class from President Zelenskyy.[166] In 2024, she received the Distinguished Public Service Award from The American Legion.[167]

Zack Stephenson, the leader of the DFL in the Minnesota House, said Walz has been "an exceptional public servant, and he deserves our gratitude."
"Governor Walz led our state ably through COVID-19 and the murder of George Floyd, two of the most difficult moments in our state's history. He signed balanced budgets, worked to find compromise in divided government, and — working with Melissa Hortman and Kari Dziedzic — signed historic legislation into law in 2023 that will benefit Minnesotans for generations to come," Stephenson said.

Minnesota leaders react after Gov. Tim Walz announces he's ending reelection bid
By
January 5, 2026 / 9:46 AM CST / CBS Minnesota
"Tim Walz is a remarkable leader, and Minnesota has benefitted immensely from the compassion he brought to his decades of public service," said Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison. Ellison noted that the two of them have had similar paths to public office: they were elected to Congress in the same year, and both were elected to statewide office in 2018. https://www.naag.org/attorney-
Keith Ellison has served as Minnesota Attorney General since 2019. As the People’s Lawyer, Attorney General Ellison’s job is to help Minnesotans afford their lives and live with dignity, safety, and respect. His life’s work is oriented around the principles that everybody counts and everybody matters, and that no one is outside our circle of compassion. As Minnesota’s chief legal officer, Ellison leads the Attorney General’s Office in an expansive body of work that includes a wide variety of consumer-protection work and litigation, contributing to public safety, and representing more than 100 State of Minnesota agencies, boards, and commissions. He has brought landmark consumer-protection litigation against Big Oil, Big Tobacco, the gun lobby, opioid companies, and other special interests that have harmed Minnesotans. Attorney General Ellison is currently helping to lead the national legal fight against Donald Trump’s illegal and unconstitutional executive orders and other actions. He has filed or intervened in more than 20 lawsuits against the administration in defense of democracy and the rule of law and against Trump attacks on birthright citizenship, public health, a variety of vital federal agencies, transgender children, voting rights, and much more. To date, he and his fellow Democratic attorneys general have not lost a case. Attorney General Ellison was the lead prosecutor of the May 2020 murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis. He led the team that successfully convicted four former police officers of second-degree murder or second-degree manslaughter, demonstrating that no one is above the law, and no one is beneath it. He is a national thought leader in the effort to advance constitutional policing that builds community trust and helps bring about true public safety for all people and communities. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Attorney General Ellison’s office enforced executive orders barring evictions and price-gouging and successfully defended the constitutionality of pandemic-related executive orders in court. He has also led substantive policy initiatives on lowering the cost of pharmaceutical drugs, reducing deadly-force encounters between law enforcement and civilians, and advancing women’s economic security. Under Keith Ellison’s leadership, the Minnesota Attorney General’s Office has been named a Top Minnesota Workplace and a Top USA Workplace for five consecutive years—the first time the Office has won those recognitions. From 2007 to 2019, Ellison served in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he championed consumer, worker, environmental, and civil- and human-rights protections for all. Among his accomplishments are passing provisions to protect credit-card holders from abusive practices and the rights of renters and tenants. While in Congress, he founded the Congressional Antitrust and Consumer Justice Caucuses, and served as co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, which he helped build to more than 100 members. In 2017, he was a candidate for DNC chair. Before entering Congress, Attorney General Ellison served in the Minnesota House of Representatives for four years and practiced law as a criminal-defense and civil-rights attorney for 16 years.
