Report: Nazis targetted Rachael Rollins for assasination
By adamg on Sun, 09/15/2024 - 10:51pm
The Globe reports that a pair of Nazis from out west who were indicted last week for being Nazis with a lust for blood included former US Attorney Rachael Rollins on their hit list of federal officials they planned to kill.
Meanwhile, north of the Merimack, the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire - or somebody who has hijacked its exTwitter feed - was busy this weekend calling for Kamala Harris's assassination and hurling insults at their own alleged party's presidential candidate.

Rachel Rollins is just about
Rachel Rollins is just about my best liked politician. I don’t agree with all her positions, but from my vantage point as a consumer of news she speaks in a way that really floats my boat. She comes-across as thoughtful, clear, brave and full of integrity and without b.s., which is why her breach knocked me for a loop. I want to believe her breach was not a product of her own machinations, but rather of a demand from the “machine,” for lack of a better word. RR was a star to me and I hope she can continue to be.
As an aside, it may not be a local news event and warrant coverage here, but another one of our own elected officials made news for being tapped for weekend cycle damage control for a Presidential candidate’s seeming to forsake our troops actively in harms way.
Previous commenters have suggested and now I agree
Frelmont is AI, and bad AI at that.
See Frelmont's previous comments for more, a lot more.
If AI "thinks" Rachael Rollins is a star
Then it's probably more akin to artificial insanity than intelligence.
She showed her true colors through her actions over the past several years until her well-deserved and self-inflicted downfall. Someone less connected/protected would probably have gone to jail for lying to the DOJ OIG.
Two things can be true
Frelmont does appear to be AI and expresses some wildly inconsistent positions. A couple of the other commenters here also appear to be bots.
Rachael Rollins has done and continues to do some amazing things for marginalized communities in Boston. This website is overwhelmingly white middle-class folks who are quick to shit on Black folks who've ever done anything wrong in their lives. Take some time to listen to people who are different from you, and you'll see that other communities can look at bigger pictures and aren't so quick to completely dismiss her.
I just know I like her. She’s
I just know I like her. She’s a really compelling speaker. I don’t know the “inside baseball” about her- I can’t judge that. Some of her ideas are ok in the abstract if taken on a case-by-case basis with adequate jurisprudence and oversight and responsible authority. I just got the an overall sense of honesty and frankness from her- an “explainer-in-chief” vibe. (I have no objective data to know if she was honest, or not.)
In the heat of the high-stakes moment she screwed the pooch. How could she make such an unforced error? Did she trust the wrong person? Did she do similar things that aren’t popularly known? Was this a matter of her party clipping her wings?
I value a great degree of independence in police departments to maintain a balance of power in society and government and I’m aware (from interviews with her (and I think high-ranking police officials) in radio) that she made efforts to open a line of communication and push for accountability, or something, or other from them. On the one hand, that can jeopardize that institution either minimally, or potentially more, but on the other hand having an outside pressure can be used internally by brass to solidify authority.
By “star” she comfortably, naturally outshines most politicians on the airwaves, especially those who get their own hour on BPR, such as Mayor Wu whose “presentation of self” feels like it was learned at university and not inherent, present de novo.
You "got the an overall sense of honesty and frankness"
From someone who flat-out lied to the DOJ's OIG. And they had proof that she lied.
Here's the thing: She's an attorney. She spent years in school where one lesson would be that lying to government investigators is considered obstruction of justice, which is illegal. She passed a fairly rigorous exam to prove she had learned the law. Anyone giving her legal advice would tell her that lying to the OIG is against the law. Martha Stewart went to prison for a similar offense -- lying about whether she had inside information.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. She abused her office by trying to influence the election for Suffolk D.A. She showed up at a fundraiser featuring Jill Biden without getting approval and probably violated the Hatch Act by doing so. Plus there was the whole incident at the South Bay Center which was ultimately swept under the rug.
Here's what the OIG found: https://oig.justice.gov/sites/default/files/reports/23-071.pdf

This made me LOL

About Rachel Rollins.
Remarkable.
How did people in Idaho get
How did people in Idaho get obsessed over a disgraced and irrelevant politician in Massachusetts?
