Facebook announced Monday that Jennifer Newstead, a Trump appointee who served in the Department of Justice (DoJ) under President Bush, will join the social media company as General Counsel, supervising its global legal functions.
Newstead replaces Colin Stretch, who announced in 3Q18 that he will exit. Stretch will remain with Facebook through the transition phase, expected to be completed in the coming months.
“Jennifer is a seasoned leader whose global perspective and experience will help us fulfill our mission,” said Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook’s Chief Operating Officer. “We are also truly grateful to Colin for his dedicated leadership and wise counsel over the past nine years. He has played a crucial role in some of our most important projects and has created a strong foundation for Jennifer to build upon.”
Newstead brings a terrifying history of lobbying and legislating for an Orwellian style of mass electronic surveillance of Americans.
The Hill explains she was credited with writing the controversial 2001 Patriot Act, a piece of legislation that stripped Americans of their First and Fourth Amendments in the name of fighting the War on Terror.
In a 2002 statement, Assistant Attorney General Viet Dinh described Newstead’s role in drafting the Patriot Act: “Her enhanced leadership duties and her excellent service on a range of issues — including helping craft the new U.S.A. Patriot Act to protect the United States against terror — have earned her this important distinction. She is first among equals.”
Congress enacted the Patriot Act in the wake of September 11, 2001 attacks, the Act expanded the scope of the government’s surveillance powers to investigate terrorism, organized crime, and drug trafficking. It allowed government investigators to use roving wiretaps and the ability to collect telephone records from US carriers.
The Patriot Act also launched the national security letter (NSL), an administrative subpoena issued by the government to collect specific data without the authorization of a court or judge, citing threats to national security.
Facebook continues to process the National Security Agency (NSA) data demands, which have spiked in the last five years. The company’s lawyers received more than 32,000 requests for data from law enforcement in the second 2H18, and 20,000 accounts were requested by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court over the same period.
Newstead’s new position will likely spearhead Facebook’s legal troubles as the company continues to fight ongoing privacy battles. Her professional history suggests – she will be more inclined to accept government requests for users’ data than fight them.

Newstead. What ethnicity is that name?
Oh I don’t know. Perhaps it is (((Serbian.))) Usually Wipikedia gives that kind of information out but not for her.
Jennifer Gillian Newstead is an American attorney who currently serves as the General Counsel at Facebook.[1]
Prior to assuming her current position, she was a Legal Adviser to the United States Department of State. Previously, she was a partner at Davis Polk & Wardwell.[2] A graduate of Harvard University (1991) and Yale Law School (1994), Newstead clerked for Justice Stephen Breyer of the Supreme Court of the United States and for Judge Laurence Silberman of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.[3][4] She has served as general counsel of the Office of Management and Budget, principal deputy Assistant Attorney General at the United States Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Policy, and associate counsel to the United States President.[5][6][7] She is credited with helping to draft the Patriot Act.[8] In December 2017, during her confirmation she was questioned about her views on the humanitarian crisis in Yemen.[9][10][11][12]
Newstead has also served as an adjunct professor at Georgetown Law.[13] In 2015, The American Lawyer recognized her for her work on transatlantic litigation.[14]
In 2018, Jennifer G. Newstead represented the United States as Agent, Counsel, and Advocate in the case Alleged violations of the 1955 Treaty of Amity, Economic Relations, and Consular Rights (Islamic Republic of Iran v. United States of America) before the International Court of Justice.[15]
Again with the face.
The ugly, the malformed, the misaligned, and the disfigured develop deep seated hatred for everything normal and good even if they aren’t conscious of it. Give them the reins and they will make it their life’s mission to get some kind of payback for every slight, every rejection, every incident from their troubled past. Harmony, balance, beauty and excellence are like Kryptonite to them and they yearn to overturn the system by whatever means possible. To cede authority to the wounded, the damaged, the dysfunctional and the broken is insane. It always leads to destruction, draconian imposition and eventually- if unchecked- mass murder on a societal scale. How this has gone unnoticed is simply beyond my comprehension, and yet here we are.
Amazing – before I even clicked to continue reading, my first thought when I looked at that woman was about HSF’s physiognomy piece – her face has SPITE written all over it.
I read and finish the piece and, lo and behold, the second comment is HSF talking about the exact same thing.
The Twilight Zone reference – Eye of the Beholder -and the themes presented by Serling in that episode, are insightfuly prescient, indeed.
Patriot, MCA, Freedom Act, FISA – it would seem that all are phyiscal manifestations of fear of loss of violently and immorally gained and enforced totalitarian-power.
I cannot believe she is going to facebook to help contain damage. The faux-tears from Facebook are an act and she is there to solidify information gathering, not apologize for it. The faux-damage is just that – it is a public appeasement tool and there is no real damage because the whole thing could just be called Project Facebook – it is all one giant Op and any fines paid will, somehow, be circulated right back into said Op that has always been controled/structured by CIA/NSA/DOD.
I thought the same thing, JAG, when I started reading the ZH post. HSF pounced. As expected.
But also, after a 2nd look, Newstead looks curiously like Zuck’s twin brother as a trans, stuck in neutral. Maybe blew a seal. Tranny out of commission, taking a new position; parked.
The face, the nose, the ears. Hey, an argument could be made…just sayin’. Creepy indeed.
Agreed. Definitely a Zuck-clone and definitely looks like a tranny – a mean and spiteful one that went out and actually got the full operation too…cuz dress-up just wasn’t enough.
Mark loves it and she fits right in at Fakebook on her “transvestisism” alone.
You have a point about the unattractive and malformed bearing grudges. Look at Goebbels. This little darling is one scary bureaucrat.
That’s a good call, next you should look at some of the Bolsheviks that carried out a far larger and longer lasting mass murder spanning generations.
NEXT!
NYET!
Reminds me of a Hapsburg face…
The Habsburg jaw and the debilitating costs of rampant, decades-long incest among Europe’s most powerful royal families.
Ouch. I bet a lot of people suffered that face.
She replaces a guy named Colon Stretch. Perfect name.
I’d prefer a girl named Constance Kegels.
. . .and she would be a f*ckin’ ginger.
Fucking nazi bitch. The ever reaching threads of der spinnau.
This woman authored the Patriot Act and it can be said that she destroyed Constitutional protections formerly provided by law. She had help.
The so called Patriot Act single-handedly destroyed almost all of the constitutional protections once offered by the constitution regarding privacy and unauthorized spying and warantless searches used on citizens. https://www.aclu.org/other/surveillance-under-usapatriot-act
The Patriot Act also destroyed those provisions of the 6th Amendment, doing away with trial by jury , Habeus Corpus, representation etc.
Section 412 of the Patriot Act, titled, Mandatory detention of suspected
terrorists; habeas corpus; judicial review; violates the Sixth Amendment which
guarantees a fair and speedy trial. In a case decided by the Supreme Court,
Powell v. Alabama, the Court sets up this notion that the process has to be just
no matter who the accused is. The Court ruled that if a just process is not being
in place, that it is against the Constitution. Thus Section 412 is unconstitutional
since it does not allow the trial process to be just.
Included is a pdf that lists all the Constitutional violations contained the truly Unpatriotic Act:

Your point will most likely be missed but you’re quite right. She had lots of help, some of them likeley very attractive. This mess can’t be laid at the feet of one Ann Coulter clone with that “I’ll get You look”. How about the Dick Cheney Smirk.
Look at all the anti-constitutional legislation that was created after 9/11. How many rights have been stripped away as a result of that tragedy and always ask, Qui Bono? Chertoff, ol’ skeletor himself created a company selling those radar detection devices you get to walk thru at airports. He did this shortly before 9/11 and guess how wealthy he is now?
Glad you’re back. Good to see ya. Stick around, kid. You ain’t seen nothin yet.
Damn, and here I thought I’d covered my tracks:)
Dick Cheney is one scary mofo. No, this woman isn’t the sole creator of the Patriot Act.

“Businesses that make money by collecting and selling detailed records of private lives were once plainly described as “surveillance companies.” Their rebranding as “social media” is the most successful deception since the Department of War became the Department of Defense.” ~ Edward Snowden
No, Facebook is NOT “Private,” Their Censorship Arm is Government Funded
Facebook is not private. They are partnered with a NATO backed think tank to censor their platform that is funded by the US government.

She Wrote The Patriot Act. Her Next Job Is With Facebook
Anyone who finds this offensive yet STILL has a Facebook account can go fuck themselves as far as I’m concerned.
