I apologize to the readers for writing yet another post about our witless Sen. Lisa Murkowski. I know you are tired of reading about her; I am tired of writing about her!
I have a half dozen articles on different subjects waiting in the queue to publish, but it seems like every day, Alaska’s Little Princess says something stupid, forcing me to respond.
Over the weekend, Murkowski said she would not vote for any of Donald Trump’s nominees unless the FBI vetted them first. In normal times this would be a perfectly reasonable request. The FBI should be a respected law enforcement agency used to investigate nominees to ensure their reliability and trustworthiness. However, we are no longer in normal times.
Lisa’s statement captures the essence of Donald Trump’s battle against the entrenched bureaucracy in Washington, D.C., which he calls the Deep State. Murkowski is a leading member of that bureaucracy, which is trying to control Trump and minimize the changes he can make. One form of their fight against him is to give the FBI virtual veto power over his nominees.
The recent withdrawal of Matt Gaetz as AG nominee is a perfect example of the FBI’s power. In 2020, the FBI received allegations against Matt Gaetz from a convicted felon. They opened an investigation into these charges, and after three years concluded that Gaetz had committed no crime. When Gaetz was nominated as AG, the FBI shared with Republican senators that an investigation had been conducted, leaving out that Gaetz was vindicated. This gave these RINOs a tenuous excuse to oppose Gaetz’s nomination. When their opposition was announced, Gaetz was forced to withdraw.
Before even being sworn in for his first term, the FBI conducted an illegal wiretap operation of Donald Trump and members of his administration based on the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign faux dossier.
That wasn’t the first time the FBI has influenced cabinet picks. In his first term, Trump was told it would be impossible to get strong nominees approved by the U.S. Senate’s confirmation process. This resulted in Trump being forced to nominate weak individuals for the AG position – people the Senate could intimidate, like Jeff Sessions, who, after being approved by the Senate, promptly recused himself from any investigation into the FBI’s illegal Clinton/Russia dossier investigation. This requirement also gave us the seditious Bill Barr as AG, who replaced Sessions. After the 2020 election, when Barr was notified by a U.S. attorney that there was election fraud in the 2020 election, he refused to investigate it.
There are other reasons for Donald Trump not to trust the FBI.
Before even being sworn in for his first term, the FBI conducted an illegal wiretap operation of Donald Trump and members of his administration based on the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign faux dossier. We now know it was all a hoax, but it was taken seriously at the time and used by the FBI to get a warrant to wiretap members of Trump’s inner circle.
Another example is former National Security Advisor General Michael Flynn. The FBI feared Flynn, so they conducted a hostile interrogation of him under the pretext it was part of the vetting process. Even though written summaries of the interview show no wrongdoing by Flynn, he was still charged with crimes, removed from the Trump administration, and bankrupted by a corrupt prosecution.

Now, our dear Lisa wants to force Donald Trump to rely on the FBI for background checks before she will support nominees. That would be like requiring the mafia to approve all new bank tellers before they are hired. Nothing good will come of it.
We are in a new normal now. Trump recognizes the FBI for what they are. They are no longer an impartial law enforcement organization, but the praetorian guard protecting the deep state.
Lisa and her friends in the entrenched bureaucracy need to understand that justice is coming for those who have weaponized the government against the people. That is why the people reelected Donald Trump in a landslide victory. They want Trump to clean house of those that have broken the law and usurped our Constitution.
Trump’s campaign promise to root out Deep State corruption reminds me of the famous Wyatt Earp quotation from the movie Tombstone, where he says, “Tell ‘em I’m coming, and hell’s coming with me.” Get ready, Lisa. It’s 56 days until Trump’s inauguration.
The views expressed here are those of Greg Sarber. Read more Sarber posts at his Seward’s Folly substack.

Don’t let Murkowsky fool us Alaskans into believing that she can be filled with vile hatered for President Trump, yet at the same time say she carries love for Alaskans and their future. The human heart was not designed to harbor both love and hate at the same time.
Murky is desperately trying to hold onto any notion of power for the sake of power itself. She is part of the entrenched bureaucracy in the Senate that needs to be removed – she is up for re-election in 2026, btw – just like Pelosi, Mconnell & Graham . She is not good for Alaska and only serves her self-interests.
Lisa,when first getting into Washington was ok. As time went along she got worse and worse. Now she’s a Democrat calling herself a republican. I think Trump should start house cleaning with RINO’s first. Bye Lisa Murkowski! it’s time for you to retire!
More vile ad hominem attacks from Greg Sarber against Senator Murkowski aren’t surprising to us. But the blind support for convicted felon Donald Trump and and the MAGA loonies certainly is. Just another day from out the end of the road!
