Fitton: Defending the Rule of Law
I was honored to speak at this past weekend’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which saw thousands of Americans gather to hear former President Trump and other conservative leaders. Judicial Watch is one of the nation’s most widely supported conservative groups and a fan favorite at CPAC. This is for good reason, as we address the rule of law crisis so many here in DC would rather avoid, as you’ll see in my CPAC remarks below: Judicial Watch is your watchdog in Washington – Hillary Clinton knows who we are, and President Trump knows who we are. I’m not sure what Joe Biden knows, but millions of patriots across the nation know and support our heavy lifting to expose and stop government corruption.

Deputies with the Saguache County Sheriff’s Office did not find his body until 7 a.m. the following day, according to sheriff’s office documents and a lawsuit filed Tuesday on behalf of his mother Sarah Lieberenz. “More than anything, I don’t want this to happen to anybody else’s family ever again,” Lieberenz said. “I have no idea why they didn’t help him. I can make assumptions, but I’ll never know what was in their hearts when they ignored his cries for help.” Jackson is one of at least seven people who died by suicide in Colorado jails in 2019. There is no official statewide collection of jail … [Read more...] about Colorado jail deputies failed to check on inmate after he made suicidal comments. They didn’t find his body for 8 hours.
