Internal FBI Messages from January 2017 reveal Shady Structuring to Frame Trump and his team with fabricated Rumors
• Agents like Peter Strzok debated creating a “Trump Unit” to target the incoming administration, focusing on @GenFlynn for his talks with Russian ambassador Kislyak, which they tried to spin as espionage or Logan Act violations—charges that were found baseless.
• They even FLOATED RUMORS, like Putin using Trump Tower’s roof, showing they were grasping at straws desperately trying to build a case because they didn’t have one. THIS IS HUGE!
• Flynn’s early targeting—before Trump’s inauguration—suggests a PREMEDITATED effort to sabotage the administration by taking down a key ally in a conspiracy to undermine Trump with a manufactured Russia narrative.
“I’m worried Flynn will blab himself into a legit 65”
These files lend credence to the fact that the investigation was a completely politically motivated setup from the start and they were looking to frame an incoming president of the United States.
TREASON!!

Internal FBI Messages from January 2017 reveal Shady Structuring to Frame Trump and his team with fabricated Rumors
Victoria Nuland Identified being Directly involved in Handling Sensitive Information Potentially Related to the Steele Dossier
The mention of Victoria Nuland receiving investigative material from a U.S. firm tied to a former UK intelligence officer (likely Christopher Steele) is significant.
This suggests Nuland, a senior State Department official, was directly involved in handling sensitive information potentially related to the Steele dossier, which was a controversial element of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
Her intent to pass this to Trump, stinks to high Heaven.
• There’s also a reference to “DRAGON” as a key asset, possibly an informant??? or operation???, who is wary of Igor Sechin and advising on legal strategies. This is a new detail.
DRAGON’s role as a career-“defining asse” for an FBI official, with concerns about exposure, indicates a high-stakes operation taking place that hasn’t been discussed in prior public releases.

Far-left Boston Mayor Michelle Wu (D) received hundreds of thousands of dollars to her 2021 campaign from a fundraiser who is a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) intelligence official, an investigation by the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) recently uncovered.
Wu’s mayoral campaign was the recipient of more than $300,000 fundraised by Gary Yu, the commissioner of the Asian American & Pacific Islanders Commission and president of the New England Chinese American Alliance, the DCNFreported.
Yu, whose Chinese name is Yu Guoliang, is listed as an official in the United Front Work Department (UFWD) — the CCP’s intelligence- and influence-gathering agency that operates overseas, including in the U.S.
The DCNF also reported that Yu operates as a recruiter for the Chinese government, citing Chinese state media reports and civic associations led by Yu to back up these claims.
Wu, whose parents immigrated to the U.S. from Taiwan after her grandparents moved the family from mainland China, has recently made headlines for criticizing President Donald Trump for cracking down on illegal immigration in her sanctuary city.
Despite her public assertion that Boston “stand[s] with immigrants,” Trump border czar Tom Homan traveled to the city and personally oversaw hundreds of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests, including members of MS-13 and Tren de Aragua (TdA).
“The Communist Party’s UFWD never rests,” China expert Gordon Chang told the DCNF. “There is no ethnic Chinese official in America who is not targeted. It’s time for law enforcement to investigate the CCP’s ties to Gary Yu and Yu’s ties to Mayor Michelle Wu.”
The UFWD also has significant roots in Minnesota, with ties to failed Democrat vice presidential candidate Gov. Tim Walz.

Pete Marocco, the official who oversaw the dismantling of USAID, has now parted ways with the agency.
Marocco, who served in the Defense, State and Commerce departments, was known as a conservative firebrand with a deep skepticism of foreign aid. His tenure sparked fierce protests on Capitol Hill and drew sharp criticism from Democrats, who celebrated his exit but said questions remain about the future of U.S. foreign aid.
“Pete was brought to State with a big mission to conduct an exhaustive review of every dollar spent on foreign assistance,” a senior administration official said of the departure. “He conducted that historic task and exposed egregious abuses of taxpayer dollars. We all expect big things are in store for Pete on his next mission.”
After President Donald Trump merged USAID with the State Department, Secretary Marco Rubio named Marocco acting deputy administrator of the agency, and he went to work whittling down the $40-billion, 10,000-employee USAID office. (Read more: Fox News, 4/14/2025)(Archive)
He is a hero, and his services are undoubtedly needed elsewhere. Marocco gave a statement to Fox News Digital regarding his departure. “I continue to serve President Trump just as enthusiastically as I did last week, last month, and last year.” https://t.co/pUNjN8EUNI
— Director Michael Kratsios (@mkratsios47) April 15, 2025
THE DIRECTOR: Thank you for the kind introduction. It is a pleasure to speak to you all this evening, here in the early light of the new Golden Age of America.
President Trump has given all of us who serve in his administration a monumental task—the renewal of our nation.
I know, and I think you know, too, that such a renewal will require the reinvigoration of American science and industry. Over the last few decades, America has become complacent, forgetting old dreams of building a wondrous future.
But we know the American pioneer spirit still seeks the exploration of endless frontiers. Our technologies, and what we do with them, will be the tools with which we will make the destiny of our country manifest in this century.
Yet this American hope in the possibility of progress and the power of science and technology does not allow builders and innovators to retreat from politics. Indeed, quite the opposite, which is what brings me here today. A Golden Age is only possible if we choose it.
***
There is nothing predestined about technological progress and scientific discovery. They require the efforts and energies of men and women, the collective choice for order and truth over disorder and opinion.
The last century was called the American Century, as—despite wars and domestic conflict—the United States stood at the forefront of science and technology, building the future. With the strength of our industry and ingenuity, we created the largest middle class the world has ever seen. As President Trump said to me in his letter laying out the science and technology agenda of this administration, “The triumphs of the last century did not happen by chance.”
Ours was the Atomic Age. Ours the victory in the Space Race. And ours the invention of the Internet, collecting and connecting the multiplicity of human knowledge.
Today we fight to restore that inheritance. As the failure of the Biden administration’s “small yard, high fence” approach makes clear, it is not enough to seek to protect America’s technological lead. We also have a duty to promote American technological leadership.
***
A gap lies between our moment and the speed of transformation America experienced midcentury. Progress has slowed. Yes, large language models astonish us, rockets still turn our eyes upward, and satellites envelop the globe. But as we look forward to America’s 250th birthday celebration next year, our progress today pales in comparison to the huge leaps of the 20th century. Consider the country of fifty years ago.
As the nation approached its bicentennial, Americans looked forward to electricity too cheap to meter. By the end of 1972, 30 nuclear plants were operational, 55 were under construction, and more than 80 were planned or ordered. That same year, the Apollo 17 astronauts became the 11th and 12th men to walk on the moon. Five years before, the X-15 rocket plane had set a speed record for a crewed aircraft of Mach 6.7. America was flying higher, faster, and farther than ever before…
Today, however, energy prices still burden producers and consumers alike, and the grid remains precarious. Over the past 30 years only three commercial nuclear reactors have been built and 10 have been closed. Despite spending almost twice as much on healthcare as peer nations, we have the lowest life expectancy. Apollo 17’s steps on the lunar surface have proved mankind’s last. The X-15’s record still stands, and the Concorde was decommissioned more than two decades ago. Our passenger planes are slower than they used to be. Our trains crawl compared to those in other parts of the world. Our cars do not fly
Advances have not stopped, but something has gone wrong.
***
Stagnation was a choice. We have weighed down our builders and innovators. The well-intentioned regulatory regime of the 1970s became an ever-tightening ratchet, first hampering America’s ability to become a net-energy exporter and then making it harder and harder to build. We seem to have lost focus and vision, to have lowered our sights and let systems and structures and bureaucracies muddle us along.
But we are capable of so much more.
Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance annihilated, cause things to grow, and improve productivity.
As Vice President Vance said in a recent speech, the tradition of American innovation has been one of increasing the capacities of America’s workers, of extending human ability so that more people can do more, and, more meaningful work. But unrestricted immigration, and reliance on cheap labor both domestically and offshore, has been a substitute for improving productivity with technology.
We can build in new ways that let us do more with less, or we can borrow from the future. We have chosen to borrow from the future again and again. Our choice as a civilization is technology or debt. And we have chosen debt.
Michigan’s second-largest health system has deleted webpages promoting childhood transgenderism and DEI in an attempt to scrub its far-left footprints from the internet after conservative group Consumers’ Research launched a campaign against it on Monday, Breitbart News has learned.
In one deleted article on “how to support a transgender teen,” Henry Ford Health staff directed parents to “get help” to allow their child to transition.
“When they’re not allowed to transition, they may suffer from depression, anxiety, and an increased risk of inflicting self-harm,” the article explained.
“We’ve latched on to this idea that gender is fixed, but we know in medicine that exploring your identity as it relates to gender is a normal part of growing up,” Henry Ford pediatrician Dr. Maureen Connolly claimed.
Henry Ford Health touts itself as one of the few health systems that treats “any transgender individual,” including minors. A webpage that still remains live says services available “for adolescents” include harmful “puberty blockers” and “gender affirming hormones.”
(Credit: website clipping)
Another now-deleted page on the health agency’s website detailed its DEI efforts, stating that “diversity, equity and inclusion are woven into the fabric of everything we do.”
Kimberlydawn Wisdom, the agency’s senior vice president of “Community Health & Equity” and the “Chief Wellness & Diversity Officer,” believes that DEI is just the beginning.
“Diversity, equity, and inclusion are simply not enough. Diversity, equity, and inclusion alone can only mitigate the damage of the past,” she wrote in 2021. “To prevent the mistakes of the past from burdening our communities in the future, our ultimate destination must be justice.”
As part of its massive campaign to expose Henry Ford Health’s far-left bias, Consumers’ Research put together a website, FordHealthExposed.com, and mobile billboards running outside its hospitals in Detroit and Macomb County.
Images shared with Breitbart News also show stenciled sidewalk chalk messages around the Detroit location, as well as another billboard in Lansing, near the State Capitol.
“Henry Ford Health is prioritizing politics over patients. Driven by gender ideology, Henry Ford has continued performing deeply harmful and irreversible sex-change treatments on children and must be stopped,” Consumers’ Research executive director Will Hild told Breitbart News.
“The hospital’s deliberate mutilation of confused children’s bodies is being done in direct defiance of President Trump’s orders to eliminate the vile practice for good. Henry Ford Health has also committed to embedding DEI into every facet of its operation, elevating a radical ideological agenda above its fundamental duty to provide excellent scientific-based care,” he added.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) referred New York Attorney General Letitia James to the Department of Justice for alleged mortgage fraud.
“Based on media reports, Ms. Letitia James has, in multiple instances falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government backed assistance and loans and more favorable loan terms,” wrote Bill Pulte, director of FHFA, to Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Pulte added: “This has potentially included 1) falsifying residence status for a Norfolk, Virginia-based home in order to secure a lower mortgage rate and 2) misrepresenting property descriptions to meet stringent requirements for government backed loans and government assistance.”

QUESTION: Mr. Secretary, thank you so much for being here with – sharing for the American people a very momentous day in the history of the State Department and the U.S. Government in restoring free speech and America’s role as the beacon of free speech. Something very historic transpired today.
Could you tell the American people what that was?
SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah. Well, we ended government-sponsored censorship in the United States through the State Department. And let me explain how we get there. This started out 15, 10 years ago with this effort of let’s go after the messaging that al-Qaida and ISIS and others are putting to radicalize people. And who’s going to be against that? That sounds normal. And then it was, like, in 2016, oh, we had this foreign interference in our election; we need to start targeting some of that stuff. By 2020 it had grown into this movement of, like, actually going after individual American voices.
And one of the ways that was being done wasn’t just directly. Because the guy that was running this thing, Stengel, was actually a guy that was out there saying: Donald Trump talks just like a Russian spy, he talks just like a terrorist, and so do the people around him. But they were also taking money from this program and using it to fund these NGOs, these third-party groups who were supposed to be, like, impartial. Those groups were then tagging – they were literally tagging and labeling voices in American politics – Ben Shapiro, The Federalist, others – tagging them as foreign agents.
So you look at it and say, American taxpayers, through the State Department, were paying groups to attack Americans and to try to silence the voice of Americans. And there were consequences. These weren’t just a label they put on people. Some of these people got deplatformed, they got taken down, they couldn’t communicate. So it was outrageous.
So before President Trump took over, they disbanded this unit. They just renamed it and moved it somewhere else. But now over the last few months we’ve worked on it and just taken it down, and to the extent we’re spending money now – we are going to spend money on messaging; it’s going to be pro-American messaging, and it’s going to be incentivizing and protecting free speech, which is threatened all over the world, including countries that are allies of ours.
The best way to counter disinformation – if that’s what people are thinking is out there – the best way to counter disinformation is free speech —
QUESTION: Yes.
SECRETARY RUBIO: — is to make sure that what’s true has as equal or greater opportunity to communicate as what’s not true. We’ve learned that the hard way. But when you turn disinformation into a weapon, a political weapon, a label that you can use to go after people you don’t like, and say, oh, anything that person’s saying is disinformation – well, listen, I read mainstream newspapers every day, or I watch mainstream broadcasts – mainstream broadcasts every day that I know are disinformation, okay? We have an issue right now. They keep calling it “Maryland man” deported to El Salvador. No, not “Maryland man” – El Salvador citizen deported to El Salvador. That’s disinformation. Every day I – a U.S. senator yesterday said that this guy was a kidnapped American citizen, and they published it in the article without any fact check. He’s not an American citizen.
So the important thing is that we have free speech so we can counter that, so we can say this is not true.
QUESTION: Right.
SECRETARY RUBIO: That’s the way you handle that. And – but we have instances now in Western countries where people are being arrested. You’ve seen this, I’m sure. You know what I’m talking about.
QUESTION: Yes, absolutely.
SECRETARY RUBIO: People out there, they put a post, and they – a cop comes knocking on their door: You’re going to go to jail for 60 days for posting something online.
QUESTION: Right.
SECRETARY RUBIO: This is crazy stuff that’s happening around the – and the Vice President addressed this in his speech at the Munich conference back in February.
QUESTION: Yes.
SECRETARY RUBIO: So we got a lot of work to do, but the most important thing is we’re going to make sure that as we communicate to the world it’s going to be pro-American – things that build up what this country’s working on and explaining what we’re doing, not attacking Americans who are exercising their First Amendment rights.
QUESTION: The classic work of the State Department in the 20th century.
SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah. (Laughter.)
QUESTION: And you mentioned this network that was paid through the State Department through grants and contracts. And my understanding is that network also targeted the Under Secretary for Public Diplomacy Darren Beattie, who I believe played an important role in this restructuring as well.
SECRETARY RUBIO: Right.
QUESTION: And credit to you and to the under secretary. One of the questions that remains – this is obviously amazing news, I think, to the entire American people about the defunding and the restructuring. There are lingering questions about what was done during that period, where we now have so many people wondering, was I censored because of something the State Department did?
SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah.
QUESTION: Was my news organization bankrupted? Were advertisers contacted about it? And there are aggrieved parties; there’s an important historical record that needs to be unearthed; there are active lawsuits. There are many reasons for a public disclosure effort on top of this development today. Are there any efforts underway to be able to have a kind of GEC files, as there were for the Twitter Files?
SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah. So I think what we have to do now – and Darren will be big involved in that as well – is sort of document what happened. Because one thing is to say it in a broadcast like this, another thing is to actually put it on paper. And there’s two reasons to do it. The first is because I think people who were harmed deserve to know that, and be able to prove that they were harmed; and then the other is to make sure it never happens again, right?
QUESTION: Exactly.
SECRETARY RUBIO: So that 10 years from now, when someone has a brilliant idea like this again – not-brilliant idea like this again – you can point to that and say, oh, this was done once before, and here’s the reason why we don’t. That’s why accountability is important in these things, because it doesn’t just provide justice and – but it also prevents it from happening in the future. You have something you can point to at the same time and say, these are the kinds of things we want to stay away from.
And it’s also a very important lesson here. If I take you back 15 years and I ask somebody, do you think we should be doing more to make sure ISIS and al-Qaida are not radicalizing people online, 15 years ago we would have said, yeah, of course.
QUESTION: Yes, right.
SECRETARY RUBIO: But look what that turned into.
QUESTION: Right.
SECRETARY RUBIO: And I’m not saying I’m – obviously we don’t want ISIS radicalizing everybody, but you have to understand that sometimes, some idea that starts out as innocuous or maybe even good intention, whatever, can metastasize, becomes a weapon that can be turned into something else by someone else. That’s a valuable lesson here. And everything we do, you have to understand that when you create something, what you created and what it turns into are not necessarily the same thing, especially when the people in charge change.
QUESTION: Right. A Frankensteinian monster that —
SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah, yeah, that’s right.
QUESTION: — takes on a life of its own. So then that is to say you can commit to the American public now that there will be a transparency effort to actually —
SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah, that’s already started, because I think as part of justifying doing all this, we had to document this, right?
QUESTION: Right.
SECRETARY RUBIO: So now I think there’s more in-depth, and we’ll create a process for people that sort of point – we already know some of the higher-profile ones, but there are more than higher-profile ones, right? There are a lot of other, including everyday, individual American citizens —
QUESTION: Right.
SECRETARY RUBIO: — who suddenly were labeled. And I think this is going to require some cross-jurisdictional work because some of it’s going to require us to go back and prove, okay, somebody got deplatformed in 2021, right?
QUESTION: Yeah.
SECRETARY RUBIO: And back in the middle of COVID – 2020. Someone got deplatformed, and tracking – we can prove that; people can show, hey, I got deplatformed by the old Facebook or by the old Twitter or whatever. But then linking that. So why were they deplatformed? Who told them to deplatform? And if we could somehow with internal review create a linkage between some information that came from something the State Department paid for and an actual aggrieved party, that’s what’s important.
Because I think that one thing is to point to the high-profile cases, which we’re aware of, but I think when people see that there were actually just individual, everyday Americans that were deplatformed and for whatever – silenced because somebody associated with this program identified them, I think that’s what’s really going to be eye-opening to a lot of people. But we didn’t want to wait for that to take action. We know enough to already act.
QUESTION: Right.
SECRETARY RUBIO: But we obviously want to know the depth and the scope of this. That’s going to happen. It’s already happening.
QUESTION: Right. This is a program that has been shrouded in secrecy. Journalists like Matt Taibbi have tried to FOIA for many of these grants and contracts and have encountered the stone wall. So this is, I think, amazing news.
SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah.
QUESTION: I know that you’re a very busy man, and appreciate all the time here. So the final question is on the international stage. As you are repositioning the State Department to have the U.S. once again be the global beacon for free speech and liberty, we face threats around the world from censorship laws coming out of the European Union, coming out of Brazil, coming out of really a network of countries that have taken the legitimacy of things like the Global Engagement Center and said, oh, it’s okay in the Western world to have media literacy programs, information integrity, mis/dis/malinformation programs. And many of those Global Engagement Center partner – ecosystem partners have been involved in the shaping of those foreign laws; many have – are actually – have been funded by the State Department and USAID, being signatories on the EU Code of Disinformation, implementing the EU Digital Services Act, which was threatened to be turned against Americans when Elon Musk famously had that X Space with Donald Trump during the election season.
So my question to you is: Is there any insights that you can provide to the American people about how the State Department is going to go about once again restoring free speech —
SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah.
QUESTION: — in a world where we are facing foreign threats from the European Union and Brazil and other places to Americans’ ability to talk to Americans?
SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah, so the first thing obviously is our number one priority is Americans. So we don’t want to see an American who happens to be living in London or happens to be living in Europe post something online about American politics or any politics, and all of a sudden they’re facing ramifications over there or they’re denied entry and something happens – “Oh, we’re denying them into our country or we’re going to arrest them because they posted something while living overseas.” So our number one interest is the impact that it has on Americans.
The broader point, which is the one I think the Vice President made very clear in Munich at the Security Conference – people freaked out about what he said, but it’s true. What is it that links us with Western Europe? What is it that links us with these – it’s our shared values. And one of those shared values, we hope, is freedom of expression. I know they don’t have a First Amendment, but freedom of expression, right? And if that is eroded – if suddenly these become places where people are targeted because of what they said or what their opinion is – then one of the pillars of our shared interest, beyond military cooperation or anything else, is under attack. And I think he made a very vibrant point that in some ways you are attacking – by attacking freedom of expression, you are attacking one of the pillars of our shared interest, our shared culture, our shared values.
And so I think – we raise that. We’ve raised that. I mean, I can tell you we were at a Oval Office meeting with the prime minister of the United Kingdom, and this issue came up. So this has been raised. It becomes part of our diplomatic —
QUESTION: Yeah.
SECRETARY RUBIO: — situation that we raise when we interact with foreign interlocutors. I think what’s troubling is we understand, like, that’s always going to be an issue when you – certain countries around the world. But when you’re dealing with Western European allies and that’s who you’re talking to about this stuff, it really tells you how far it’s gone and how big a problem. And so that’s a new thing for us to have to raise in those capitals, but we do it and we do it everywhere. And I personally witnessed the President and the Vice President raise it with multiple —
QUESTION: Yes.
SECRETARY RUBIO: — foreign leaders. And I think you’re going to continue to see an emphasis on that in our diplomacy and what we talk about.
QUESTION: That’s fantastic. And I think the actions today will send a message to those foreign bodies that what was done for a very brief period here really in the scope of our history is not a legitimate way to pursue international laws. So – and just on the EU Digital Services Act, I’d feel remiss if I didn’t mention that the EU commissioning body there threatened Elon Musk, a non-EU citizen, talking to Donald Trump —
SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah.
QUESTION: — a non-EU citizen —
SECRETARY RUBIO: During the campaign in October.
QUESTION: — running for President.
SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah.
QUESTION: And threatened them specifically not to talk about the unrest – the street protests in the UK at the time. The UK is no longer a member of the EU. So the EU is threatening – and today, they’re now – we’re hearing they’re threatening a billion dollars in fines against X for noncompliance with disinformation. And we’ve seen the head of their commission target non-EU citizens talking to non-EU citizens about non-EU territories. And so this is just one of these things – as this code becomes mandatory in July – to know that the State Department is focused on protecting free speech both within and without is, I think, an important thing.
SECRETARY RUBIO: Well, just beyond Elon, if a country or a group of countries in the case of the EU – although it considers itself sort of a country because these countries have given over a significant amount of sovereignty in order to become a member of the EU – when you have foreign entities taking actions that go after Americans for speech —
QUESTION: Yes.
SECRETARY RUBIO: — that becomes a foreign policy irritant for the United States, and more than an irritant. It becomes an impediment in some cases to cooperate when they’re going – not just after a high-profile person like Elon, but anybody for that matter. I mean, I think if you extend this out, you could see it threatening commentators, threatening people that are opining about world events, potentially threatening office holders in the United States.
QUESTION: Right.
SECRETARY RUBIO: I mean, so what if – what if an American political figure, on the left or right, criticized something that was happening in Europe – imagine right now if all these people freaking out over Bukele in El Salvador were suddenly being threatened by some Western Hemisphere version of the EU – oh, we’re going to come after you because you’re attacking the President of El Salvador. The left would be freaking out.
QUESTION: Right.
SECRETARY RUBIO: So I think that this is a very legitimate issue for us to raise as a bilateral or in this case with the EU irritant in our foreign policy. It has to become part of one of the things that we raise when we interact with them about the impact this is having on American citizens. At the end of the day, the number one priority of the State Department is to serve the national interest of the United States and the interest of the American people. We work for the American people.
QUESTION: Right.
SECRETARY RUBIO: It’s the United States Department of State.
QUESTION: Yes.
SECRETARY RUBIO: So that – we need to return that principle in everything we do, including this.
QUESTION: Right. And this is such a fair and frankly merciful way of doing this as well. You don’t – it sounds like you don’t want the power to go after the other side for misinformation and things like this. So —
SECRETARY RUBIO: Oh, we would be here all day.
QUESTION: No —
SECRETARY RUBIO: Yeah, I mean, we could – I could build a whole building to go after that.
QUESTION: Right. Exactly.
SECRETARY RUBIO: But the best way to do it is just to say they’re lying; here’s the truth.
QUESTION: Right. Right.
SECRETARY RUBIO: That’s why we have things like this today.
QUESTION: Right.
SECRETARY RUBIO: And that’s why we’re able to interact with you and others. That’s the best way to do it. And it’s annoying; don’t get me wrong. I mean, they say things that aren’t true. Every day stuff is leaked in the press that’s reported on as fact, and it’s not fact.
QUESTION: Right.
SECRETARY RUBIO: Or stuff is reported and commentary – not – look, commentators say what they want. Mainstream newspapers and mainstream media outlets report things as fact that are completely not true. So our approach to that is not shut them down, not fine them.
QUESTION: (Inaudible). Right.
SECRETARY RUBIO: Right. Our approach to that is to say they’re lying; here’s the truth.
QUESTION: Right.
SECRETARY RUBIO: It’s harder. It’s annoying. But that’s the best way to do it. If you don’t do it that way, then you recognize that some day in the future if you create this power to shut that down, someone in my position will do it to us.
QUESTION: Right.
SECRETARY RUBIO: And I just think that begins to devolve very rapidly, as we’ve seen with this experiment that they did.
QUESTION: You’re putting the censorship gun down, and the American people are incredibly grateful for it. So thank you so much for making the time today.
SECRETARY RUBIO: Well, it was the right thing to do. Thank you, and thanks for your attention to this topic. I know you’ve been on this a long time.
After five bewildering years of censorship, lies, injuries, and death at the hands of an experimental gene-damaging injection that was forced upon humanity to solve a manipulated global crisis, for now, times appear to be changing. And while that change can’t come soon enough, the villains who exploited society to keep the unprecedented mass-injection scam alive must be held accountable. At the top of that list—orchestrating the scheme from behind the scenes—is Dr. Peter Marks, the former high-ranking U.S. government official tasked with overseeing the regulation of products like vaccines and gene therapies to ensure they are safe and effective and support public health goals in the best interest of American citizens. Now, thanks to The Highwire’s Del Bigtree, ICAN attorney Aaron Siri and Siri & Glimstead, React19, and Follow the Silenced, the disregard for safety and the careless manner in which Dr. Marks allowed the COVID jabs to be injected at “warp-speed” into the arms of the masses has finally been revealed.
As director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER), Dr. Marks was responsible for verifying the safety and efficacy of new biological products before their release to the public. This, of course, included the COVID-19 injections. Yet, instead of recognizing and acknowledging the grave injuries suffered by the brave Americans who were early participants in the clinical trials for the warp-speed COVID-19 “vaccines,” Marks blatantly shunned them—even after these calamities were repeatedly brought to his attention. In other words, Marks (who named the mission “warp speed” after his love of Star Trek) chose to overlook 150,000 deaths and the devastating personal injury stories of innocent victims whose lives were forever altered after receipt of the COVID-19 jabs in order to expedite its release to the public—to indeed impose further death and harm—under the FDA’s guidance.
Following persistent Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and legal work thanks to The Highwire and ICAN, the truth is finally coming to light, with never-before-seen internal FDA records and over six private phone calls that were recorded between Brianne Dressen, who was injured during the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine trial, and Dr. Marks. The phone calls include individuals in the COVID-19 vaccine trials as they shared the details of their devastating, life-changing injuries.
Remember, while highly rushed and under Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), when the FDA stated it was safe to push the COVID jabs on the general public—despite pushback from its own Dr. Marion Gruber, who later resigned—the agency assured the American people there would be a robust system in place to immediately catch problems as they arose. Yet, when injuries multiplied and pressure mounted to examine the trial data the FDA wanted 55 years to share that data. The very same data it relied upon in licensing Pfizer’s “safe and effective” COVID-19 jab. That in itself makes no sense and amplifies the debauchery behind the timeline of events under Marks’ watch.
SHOULD PETER MARKS BE PROSECUTED?
Listen to the shocking details of a pregnant mother who reportedly died post-COVID vaccine.
One early example of his indifference occurred on September 1, 2021, when Dr. Peter Marks revealed his true colors in response to an extremely concerning email from Steve Kirsch, who shared a comment he made to the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). After previously emailing Janet Woodcock of the FDA regarding Maddie de Garay, a 12-year-old girl who was in the Pfizer trial and is now permanently disabled—yet Pfizer failed to report her injuries in their trial results—Kirsch shared with Marks a detailed commentary he had made to the ACIP communicating the damning findings of a team of over 19 doctors and expert scientists whose analysis showed that “it is highly likely that over 150,000 previously healthy Americans have been killed by the COVID vaccines in 2021.”
Moreover, Kirsch and the experts—who offered $1 million to anyone who could prove the mRNA COVID jabs did not kill more people than it saved—also conveyed that they estimated at the time that approximately 574 kids had been killed by the COVID shot. Five hundred and seventy-four children killed! That astounding figure was more than had died from COVID and deserved the attention of the leaders at the FDA to investigate. But instead of digging deeper into the 271 pages of critical work presented by Kirsch and the nearly 20 doctors and scientists highlighting the horrifying real-life examples of the wrath of destruction caused by the mRNA COVID jabs, Marks was easily satisfied with the response from Donna Boyce, Senior Vice President of Global Regulatory Affairs at Pfizer, who outlined, “this case is not related to the vaccine.”
Interestingly, Boyce also sits on the Scientific Advisory Council (SAC) at the Center for Innovation Regulatory Science (CIRS), a subsidiary of the Gates-funded “global transformative intelligence leader,” Clarivate. Inevitably, a connection to Bill Gates exists whenever and wherever vaccines are blindly pushed. Indeed, instead of examining the report from Kirsch and the other experts and analyzing it within their team, the ACIP labeled the research “standard anti-vaccine.” Unbelievably, when Dr. Marks responded internally after Kirsch shared his ACIP comment, he emailed CBER’s Deputy Director of Communication, Outreach, and Development, Lorrie McNeill, flatly stating, “We may need to object to this.” True colors, indeed.
Make no mistake, the theme of heinous disregard for severe injury following injection of the experimental COVID-19 shots—and the immediate censorship of any alternative treatment for the virus—persisted throughout the timeline of Dr. Peter Marks’ tenure at the FDA. Undoubtedly, the evidence uncovered illustrates a disturbing pattern of misleading public statements, gaslighting of vaccine-injured Americans, contradictory statements from Dr. Peter Marks, and, significantly, a clear failure of accountability.

The White House has revamped the COVID-19 guidance page, which now states the likely origin of the virus was a lab leak involving gain-of-function research.
The website features the heading “Lab Leak,” with a subheading of “The True Origins of COVID-19.” The White House lists five key points regarding the coronavirus’s genesis:
“The virus posses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature.“
“Data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from asingle introduction into humans. This runs contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events.”
“Wuhan is home to China’s foremost SARS research lab, which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research (gene altering and organism supercharging) at inadequate biosafety levels.”
“Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers were sick with COVID-like symptoms in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market.”
“By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced. But it hasn’t.” [emphases original]
The website also challenges “The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2” publication, which asserted that the virus originated organically.
“’The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2′ publication — which was used repeatedly by public health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak theory — was prompted by Dr. Fauci to push the preferred narrative that COVID-19 originated in nature,” the website states.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has declassified and released two sets of files today. 1. the first tranche of the RFK assassination files (10,000 pages HERE); and 2. The Joe Biden Domestic Terrorism Plan (SEE HERE)
Following President Donald Trump’s Executive Order 14176, DNI Gabbard is releasing all the archive documents around the RFK assassination.
“Nearly 60 years after the tragic assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy, the American people will, for the first time, have the opportunity to review the federal government’s investigation thanks to [President Trump] leadership and commitment to maximum transparency.”
Putting partisan politics far above patriotism (if he has any), top Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin is outright threatening vengeance on foreign leaders who work with the Trump administration.
Yes, he washes it through rhetoric about fighting “authoritarianism in our country,” but that’s simply cover for goonish threats.
Raskin (D-Md.) issued it on the “Pod Save America” podcast, after progressive host Tommy Vietor cited (surely left-wing) Latin America experts as urging Democrats to warn off “any foreign government that participates in the extraordinary rendition of American citizens.”
Reality check: No one is proposing any “extraordinary rendition of American citizens.”
Democrats keep trying to confuse people into thinking Team Trump is doing that, as cover for their efforts to fight the administration’s deportations of illegal migrants — which is not remotely authoritarian.
Naturally, Raskin ran with Vietor’s implied point, specifically pointing to El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele as someone Dems “are not going to look kindly upon” “when we come back to power — and we will.”
His complaint is that Bukele refuses to send Kilmar Abrego Garcia (a Salvadoran citizen) back to the United States.
Abrego Garcia has never had any legal right to be here, though the Trumpies erred in sending him home without clearing an outdated 2019 order that said he could be deported, but not to El Salvador because he claimed a gang there was gunning for him.
(Bukele has eviscerated all the Salvadoran gangs, infuriating US “Latin America experts” of the kind Vietor surely relies on.)
Raskin’s also plainly peeved that Bukele is assisting the Trump “deport violent-criminal illegal migrants” efforts, but that’s still no reason to issue threats to a foreign prez. (Read more: New York Post, 4/21/2025)(Archive)
Judicial Watch announced today that a hearing will be held on February 28, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. ET before Judge Robert C.I. McBurney of the Superior Court of Fulton County, GA, on a motion for in camera (private) “inspection and appointment of special master” to oversee District Attorney Fani Willis’ search for records of communications with Special Counsel Jack Smith and the House January 6 Committee. The hearing notice states: “The courtroom will be open to the parties and the public, but the parties are free to participate remotely.” A link to view the hearing is available here.
Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit in March 2024 after Willis falsely denied having any records responsive to Judicial Watch’s earlier Georgia Open Records Act (ORA) request for communications with Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office and/or the January 6 Committee (Judicial Watch Inc. v. Fani Willis et al.(No. 24-CV-002805)).
After finding Willis in default, the court ordered a hearing on December 20, which resulted in an orderthat found Willis liable for fees and expenses that “shall be paid within two weeks of the entry of this Order.”
The court then awarded Judicial Watch $21,578 “attorney’s fees and costs.” (Willis’ operation made the payment to Judicial Watch 10 days after the court-ordered deadline.)
Judicial Watch subsequently filed a motion, asking the court to appoint a special master to oversee Willis’ search for records in the lawsuit and that the court to conduct a private inspection of any records found.
Regarding the appointment of a special master, Judicial Watch stated:
Willis by her own admission conducted at least three searches before finding any responsive records not already supplied by [Judicial Watch]. She did not even bother to conduct a search until the Complaint was filed. Her records custodian says he does not know the Cellebrite [digital investigations] equipment he apparently had a hand in ordering can be used to search cell phone texts and other data…. Moreover, the custodian had no standard practice for conducting searches and keeps no records of the methods used in a given search.
The foregoing gives rise to grave suspicion that all responsive records have not been found. The Court should appoint a special master to supervise and monitor the record searches. The special master should have authority to audit searches and conduct searches herself. She also should have authority to hire such consultants and experts as may be needed to execute her commission. The special master should make a recommendation to the Court as to how her fees and expenses should be allocated among the parties, taking into consideration whether she finds responsive records that Willis should have found but did not.
“Fani Willis was caught red-handed hiding records by Judicial Watch and the court. We’re asking the court to appoint a special master because Willis simply can’t be trusted to come clean on her office’s political collusion with the Pelosi January 6 committee to ‘get Trump,’” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.
Judicial Watch is assisted in the case by John Monroe of John Monroe Law in Georgia. (Judicial Watch)
Fani Willis also attended a Black History Month event honoring ‘Young Black Trailblazers’ at VP Kamala Harris’ residence:

The GOP-led House Judiciary Committee is pressing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis‘s staff for documents after she has spent months stonewalling a congressional investigation into the “politically motivated” prosecutions of President Donald Trump.
In a series of letters sent last week, the panel reportedly asked several of the Democratic district attorney’s senior staffers to provide testimony and hand over records related to her office’s alleged coordination with the since-defunct House select Jan. 6 committee.
The allegations revolve around a memo Willis wrote to the Jan. 6 committee’s then-chairman, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS), in which she requested access to transcripts, emails, and travel records. Members of her administration then allegedly traveled to Capitol Hill for a meeting with committee staff, in which they reviewed nonpublic material.
One letter addressed to assistant prosecutor Donald Wakeford notes that the House Judiciary Committee has been asking him since Feb. 6 to appear before Congress for a transcribed interview, according to a copy of the correspondence obtained by Law and Crime.
“It has been 70 days since the Committee first requested your voluntary cooperation with our oversight,” the letter reads. “Upon your request, the Committee granted you an extension for the purpose of obtaining counsel to represent you in this matter. You have had sufficient time to obtain counsel, and, in fact, you currently have counsel representing you before the Committee. There is no reason for further delay.”
Wakeford previously requested a 30-day extension to obtain personal counsel and seek legal advice. As of March 31, he had retained an attorney, former Fulton County prosecutor Charlie Bailey, a Democrat who unsuccessfully ran for Georgia lieutenant governor in 2022. Wakeford, however, has still not complied with the committee’s requests.
Similar letters were sent Thursday afternoon to deputy district attorney Will Wooten, assistant chief investigator Michael Hill, and assistant chief investigator Trina Swanson-Lucas, according to FOX 5 Atlanta.
On Tuesday’s “Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow talked about the debate over deporting illegal immigrants and levels of due process.
Marlow stated, “[W]e’re seeing some interesting re-framing going on from Stephen Miller and the White House. He’s flipped the script. He’s saying this isn’t due process, what the left wants is infinity process that keeps illegals here forever.”
“The Alex Marlow Show,” hosted by Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow, is a weekday podcast produced by Breitbart News and Salem Podcast Network. You can subscribe to the podcast on YouTube, Rumble, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.
There’s a reason conservatives have been screaming from the rooftops about lawfare. What we’re seeing in courtrooms across the country isn’t just legal activism—it’s straight-up manipulation and injustice. The left is no longer trying to win in the court of public opinion. That’s out the window. Now, they’re trying to literally rig the legal process from the inside out, and now we’ve got more proof, and investigative reporter Julie Kelly is calling it all out.
In Texas, a federal judge is blasting the weaponized ACLU for crossing way over the line—and not just once.
The case in question involves the Alien Enemies Act and the left-wing push to block deportations of Venezuelan nationals and the left’s precious gangbangers. But instead of sticking to the courtroom, it looks like the ACLU lawyer tried to take a sneaky shortcut… by picking up the phone and actually calling the judge directly.
Julie Kelly has all the sorted details.
Judge James Wesley Hendrix (Credit: public domain)
It all started when the judge blew the whistle on the ACLU Lawyer for breaking the court’s rules.
Judge James Hendrix didn’t mince words. After denying an emergency motion to stop deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, he was contacted directly—by phone—by ACLU attorney Lee Gelernt. That kind of move is called ex parte communication, and it’s strictly forbidden for a reason: it’s sneaky, improper, and gives one side an unfair advantage. So, of course the left would pull that move, right?
Judge Hendrix not only documented the call but also raised the question of whether Gelernt pulled the same move with another judge—good ol’ Jeb Boasberg—about a month ago in a nearly identical case.
WHOO BOY: In an order filed last night, Judge James Hendrix–the judge in Texas presiding over latest Alien Enemies Act case which prompted unprecedented intervention by SCOTUS–accused ACLU atty of violating federal code of conduct rules by calling his chambers AFTER Hendrix denied the 1st emergency temp restraining order on April 17. This was noted on the docket after Hendrix filed his order. Now it makes me wonder if Lee Gelernt did not do exactly the same thing with Judge Jeb Boasberg–which could explain Boasberg’s quick action on March 15. This is not allowed:
It turns out Gelernt left a voicemail asking Judge Hendrix to talk and issue a broader ruling that would cover not just the two immigrants in question but any immigrant who is impacted by the Alien Enemies Act. Keep in mind that the government already agreed not to deport those two particular individuals—but the ACLU wanted to expand the case and strong-arm the judge into going along with their plan.
Thankfully, Obama-appointed Judge Hendrix held the line. He refused.
So what did the ACLU do?
Well, they appealed his ruling, took it to a higher court, and yanked the case out from under him.
Now, everybody wants to know how many other calls like this Gelernt has made. Julie Kelly goes on:
Here is the voicemail from Gelernt.
What are the chances he left the same message with Boasberg in the wee hours of March 15? In fact (and I will look at transcript), I believe Boasberg admitted to being “in communication” with ACLU prior to issuing any order or setting hearings.
Hendrix denied the emergency motion bc Trump adm said the 2 anonymous Venezuelan illegals cited in the lawsuit would not be removed. But–just like in the Boasberg case–that was not enough.
ACLU was demanding the case be converted into a class action suit covering ANYONE in the jurisdiction that might be subject to the Alien Enemies Act–which is what Boasberg did before his “return the planes” stunt.
ACLU was hoping for same outcome here. Hendrix was not playing their game. Even so, he was advancing the suit on Good Friday–but that wasn’t good enough for ACLU, which is used to running roughshod over the courts.
They immediately appealed, taking the matter out of Hendrix’s hands. Then they cried to SCOTUS, who bailed ACLU (and the illegals) out.
SCOTUS just got involved in what looks like a very dirty case from the start. Good to see at least one judge stand up for himself and for the process. (Read more: Revolver News, 4/22/2025)(Archive)
On Tuesday’s broadcast of Newsmax TV’s “The Record,” Harvard Law Professor Emeritus Alan Dershowitz stated that “places like Harvard Law School don’t emphasize principle, morality, and neutrality. It’s all about who wins today.” And that produces people like Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD).
After host Greta Van Susteren referenced past Democratic support for packing the Supreme Court and how if they had done so, it would give President Donald Trump the ability to pack the court, Dershowitz stated, “It just shows you these are such short-sighted, results-oriented, partisan, do it for me now people. They wouldn’t understand a point of principle if they fell over it. These are people who just want to get their way today and tomorrow and not worry about principled decisions or about what the implications could be. If we start packing the court, we’ll never stop packing the court.”
Van Susteren then referenced Schiff and said he was dishonest about Russian collusion, Dershowitz responded, “And it’s all Harvard’s fault.” He then laughed before continuing, “These are my former students. Adam Schiff went to Harvard Law School. Jamie Raskin was in my class. Elizabeth Warren was my colleague for so many years. The problem is that places like Harvard Law School don’t emphasize principle, morality, and neutrality. It’s all about who wins today. And when you educate your people that way, don’t expect anything different. We are no longer a principled nation who make decisions based on neutral, objective principles that are enduring. People like Jefferson and Madison will be turning over in their grave[s] when they see what has happened to today’s Congress. It’s just a shame. And the losers are the American people.” (Video here: Breitbart News, 4/22/2025) (Archive)

@StephenM opened by absolutely ripping into SCOTUS for its 7–2 ruling that blocked the deportation of violent Venezuelan gang members tied to Tren de Aragua—an organization he said operates under orders from Maduro’s regime.
“You have in this case, illegal aliens from Venezuela,” he said.
“Sent here by Maduro, who are members of a foreign terrorist organization… carrying out criminal enterprises to destabilize the political system in United States.”
“They’re all illegal. They’re all gang members. They’re all foreign terrorists.”
But instead of being expelled?
“We are being told they cannot be expelled from our country without an extraordinary amount of individualized adjudication, at the district court, circuit court, Supreme Court—up and down, up and down, up and down.”
Then came the gut punch:
“No American citizen receives this level of so-called due process—because it isn’t due process. This is called infinity process to keep you here forever.”

That’s when Miller laid into the double standard—how foreign criminals get luxury treatment, and American citizens get steamrolled.
“No American citizen charged with a crime—with a serious crime inside the United States, a U.S.-born American citizen—receives this kind of process. Millions of dollars in free legal services. Representation at every single level.”
And if you think the courts treated J6 defendants the same?
“Do you think that there is any American citizen who was persecuted, who was innocent, related to January 6th—do you think they could just get this kind of relief? This kind of process? It was NEVER available to them.”
He didn’t stop there.
“How many pressing constitutional issues have been swept aside that American CITIZENS need resolve—who are being persecuted by left wing mayors, left wing governors, left wing bureaucrats, who actually need relief,” Miller said.
How many? This is unfathomable.
“How many of their concerns have been swept aside? So our entire judicial system can spend hour after hour, week after week, month after month, scrutinizing every single last detail of a deportation of an invader sent here by a foreign government!”

That’s when Miller dropped what may be his fiercest claim of all time: Birthright citizenship is the biggest scam in American history.
This quickly turned into an exposé that will make your blood boil.
“Birthright citizenship is the biggest, costliest scam in financial history,” he said.
He explained how foreign nationals game the system by arriving pregnant:
“An illegal alien can come here nine months pregnant or on a tourist visa… have a baby. That baby is then declared an automatic citizen, which then entitles the entire family to come here and live here, and every one of them can get welfare.”
“Yes, they can get unlimited welfare, applying as the custodian of this citizen, so-called child.”
But to Miller, it’s not just a welfare issue—it’s a national security threat.
“See, we can keep out a foreign spy who has a Visa… But what happens when a foreign government uses this ridiculous birthright scam in order to create automatic citizens who then grow up as assets of a foreign government?”
“So it’s a major national security threat.”
He dismantled the legal basis behind it:
“The 14th Amendment… was ratified for the CHILDREN of FREED SLAVES… The idea that this was meant to provide illegal alien children with automatic citizenship——Do you really think that in the 19th century… they passed an amendment to say that people Congress has forbidden from entering here can have automatic children, citizens?”
His closing line?
“No human being who suggests it should be taken seriously.”
That’s when Miller dropped what may be his fiercest claim of all time: Birthright citizenship is the biggest scam in American history.
This quickly turned into an exposé that will make your blood boil.

“We could be facing a worst-case scenario,” said Nicolas Turza, a Branch Chief at the Department of Defense (@DeptofDefense), during an undercover date with an OMG journalist. Turza, whose role places him in a position of influence within the Pentagon, openly expressed opposition to the Commander-in-Chief.
Referring to President Trump (@realDonaldTrump), Turza stated, “The same guy who tried to overthrow an election is just, like, truly setting us down a path of dictatorship. He’s illegitimate. He’s terribly immoral, breaking every norm. We’re going to resist him. Everything he does.”
He added, “I’m a very patriotic person, and I’ve never been less patriotic.”
Turza also criticized Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth (@SecDef), saying, “This is insane… That’s not a good reflection on me. That’s a bad reflection on Trump… Nobody I know should be the Secretary of Defense.” He questioned Hegseth’s qualifications, calling him “insanely young to be the part” and adding, “he wasn’t that high up in the military.”
Discussing the Pentagon’s culture under the current administration, Turza revealed, “I think they don’t care who they hurt… They do a lot of the things that they do to enact a change that they see is making America in a populist, conservative framework that is more traditional, even if that means being sexist or racist or chauvinist.”
When asked his personal opinion of the president, Turza didn’t hold back: “The worst thing about him is his utter lack of moral principle… The second worst thing about him is how stupid he could be.”

-Career officials are melting down.
The Trump administration has forced out a majority of career managers and implemented new priorities.
-More than a dozen senior lawyers have been reassigned.
-Some have resigned in frustration after being moved to “less desirable roles unrelated to their expertise.”
-The division is now charged with pursuing priorities laid out in a series of Trump’s executive orders, including “Keeping Men out of Women’s Sports” and “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling.”
-“These documents appear to have been created in a vacuum completely divorced from reality,” a former official whined. “This is a 180 shift from the division’s traditional mission.”
-Many section chiefs have been transferred to roles unrelated to their legal backgrounds, including in the complaint adjudication office and the office that handles public records requests. 😂
-“I was there almost 18 years, and what’s happening now is basically the opposite of what we’ve been doing,” whined one veteran lawyer who recently left the department.

A former New Mexico judge and his wife allegedly tried to hide incriminating images and videos of an illegal immigrant believed to be a member of Venezuela’s notorious Tren de Aragua gang and harbored other migrants, the Justice Department said Friday.
Former Doña Ana County Magistrate Judge Joel Cano, 68, and his wife, Nancy Cano, 67, were arrested Thursday after federal agents raided their Las Cruces home. The pair face charges of evidence tampering amid allegations they harbored Cristhian Ortega-Lopez.
“Judges are responsible for upholding our country’s laws. It is beyond egregious for a former judge and his wife to engage in evidence tampering on behalf of a suspected Tren de Aragua gang member accused of illegally possessing firearms,” said U.S. Attorney Ryan Ellison.
“The U.S. Attorney’s Office is committed to dismantling this foreign terrorist organization by disrupting its criminal operations in New Mexico. That starts by prosecuting those who support gang members — including judges.”
Ortega-Lopez was put on the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) radar after a tipster said he was in the U.S. illegally and had guns. He initially entered the country Dec. 15, 2023, near Eagle Pass, Texas. He was taken into custody and released due to overcrowding at the U.S. Border Patrol facility.
Ortega-Lopez apparently posted multiple images and videos on social media showing him with other illegal immigrants handling guns at a shooting range in Las Cruces, federal prosecutors said. Among the weapons were a SIG Sauer P365 pistol, an AR-15 rifle equipped with a suppressor and other high-powered guns and ammunition.
His social media activity revealed content suggesting ties with the Venezuelan gang, including gang-related tattoos, hand gestures and clothing, prosecutors said.He also mocked a $5,000 reward to catch TdA members, Attorney General Pam Bondi said.
Among the images were also two people who were decapitated, she said.
In January, federal agents received a tip that Ortega-Lopez was living with other illegal immigrants on a property belonging to Cano, who was still a judge at the time, and his wife.
Authorities seized four guns during a Feb. 28 search of the property.
The four guns, along with three cellphones belonging to Ortega-Lopez, were seized, and he was arrested. During the search, Ortega-Lopez was allowed to make a phone call before being taken to the Doña Ana County Detention Center (DACDC).
He told the agents that the phone he wanted to use was not among the devices recovered. Video calls from DACDC later showed Nancy Cano holding a black iPhone believed to be Ortega’s fourth phone, prosecutors said.
During a March 7 call with Ortega-Lopez, Nancy Cano allegedly used the device to contact someone named “Michelle” via WhatsApp, before facilitating a FaceTime call between Michelle and Ortega-Lopez using her personal phone.
In an April 20 call, Nancy Cano and Ortega-Lopez discussed deleting his Facebook account, which he allegedly used to share incriminating content, including gang affiliations and images with guns.

On April 24, federal agents searched the Cano home to locate Ortega-Lopez’s missing phone. During questioning, Joel Cano admitted smashing the device with a hammer five weeks earlier because he believed it contained incriminating photos and videos of Ortega-Lopez with guns, and throwing it into a dumpster, said Bondi.
A forensic analysis of the recovered phones revealed messages linked to Ortega’s alleged criminal activities, including links with the TdA gang and images of him with guns, authorities said.

Newly-declassified memos written by disgraced FBI official Andrew McCabe shine new light on how he kept the Trump-Russia collusion hoax investigation alive during a critical period in the first half of 2017 before he got it handed off to a special counsel.
The eight memos penned by McCabe, most of which had never been released until earlier this month, span his discussions and meetings (including with President Donald Trump) held from January 24, 2017 to May 21, 2017 — a critical time period ranging from just before the FBI sprung an interview on retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn to just after Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel. The memos were more fully declassified through efforts by Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel earlier this month.
(…)
January 24, 2017 — Mike Flynn’s call with McCabe
McCabe created his first memo related to a discussion he had with Flynn just before he was interviewed by FBI agents on January 24, 2017. Versions of the memo were previously released with various redactions in 2019 and 2020, but the version released this month has the fewest redactions yet.
The FBI had been plotting how to potentially prosecute Flynn related to his December 2016 call with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, including potentially under the Logan Act.
McCabe said that “I told LTG Flynn that I had a sensitive matter to discuss. I explained that in light of the significant media coverage and public discussion about his recent contacts with Russian representatives, that Director Comey and I felt that we needed to have two of our agents sit down with the General and hear from him the details of those conversations. LTG Flynn asked if I was referring to his contacts with the Russian Ambassador to the United States, and indicated that I was.”
McCabe said in his memo that Flynn explained that he had been trying to “build relationships” with the Russians, and that he had calls in which he “exchanged condolences.” McCabe said Flynn then stated that McCabe probably knew what was said in these calls because “you listen to everything they say.”
McCabe said of his talk with Flynn that “I reiterated that in light of everything that has been said about these contacts, the important thing now was for us to hear directly from him what he said and how he felt about the conversations.”
Comey later admitted in 2018 that he took advantage of the chaos in the early days of Trump’s administration when he sent FBI special agents Peter Strzok and Joseph Pientka to talk to Flynn.
“I sent them,” Comey said to MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace, prompting laughter in the audience. “Something I probably wouldn’t have done or maybe gotten away with in … a more organized administration. In the George W. Bush administration, for example, or the Obama administration.”
“In both of those administrations, there was process, and so, if the FBI wanted to send agents into the White House itself to interview a senior official, you would work through the White House counsel, and there’d be discussions and approvals and who would be there, and I thought, it’s early enough — let’s just send a couple guys over,” Comey added.
Strzok overjoyed that Flynn case not closed
The Justice Department’s motion to dismiss the Flynn case in May 2020 stated that Strzok learned in early January 2017 that the Flynn case had not been closed despite the lack of evidence for keeping it open, and relayed the “serendipitously good” news to McCabe’s special assistant Lisa Page, with whom Strzok was having an affair. Strzok remarked that “our utter incompetence actually helps us.” Strzok then instructed FBI agents to “keep it open for now” at the behest of “the 7th Floor” of the bureau.
The DOJ said that “the FBI kept open its counterintelligence investigation into Mr. Flynn based solely on his calls with Kislyak — the only new information to arise since the FBI’s determination to close the case.” McCabe did not tell Flynn that he was being interviewed by the FBI as part of an investigation targeting the Trump campaign.
McCabe said in his memo that “LTG Flynn questioned how so much information had been made public and asked if we thought it had been leaked” and “I replied that we were quite concerned about what we perceived as significant leaks and that we were in the process of completing a referral to the Department of Justice requesting authority to initiate a leak investigation.” McCabe said that “I further indicated that these cases were hard to prove but that we thought the significance of this situation demanded a thorough review.”
The leaks begin
Flynn’s communications with Ambassador Kislyak were leaked to the media in early 2017. Republicans have alleged since 2017 that Obama-era officials improperly unmasked associates of then-candidate Donald Trump’s presidential campaign during the Russia collusion investigation. Democrats defended the intelligence-gathering process.
A Washington Postcolumn in mid-January 2017 contained classified details that set off a media frenzy. Citing a “senior U.S. government official,” it said Flynn and Kislyak spoke on the phone in December 2016, the day former President Barack Obama announced actions against Russia, and suggested Flynn had violated the archaic Logan Act. A follow-up article by the Washington Post in early February 2017 revealed classified details from Flynn’s monitored calls with Kislyak, citing “nine current and former officials” in “senior positions at multiple agencies.”
John Bash, the U.S. attorney tasked in 2020 with investigating the “unmasking” scandal, concluded that Flynn’s name had not even been hidden to begin with when the FBI shared information across the Obama administration.
The leakers of the Flynn calls were never found.
McCabe said in his memo that he told Flynn that it would not be a good idea for Flynn to have a lawyer present when he was questioned by the FBI that afternoon.
“I explained to LTG Flynn that my desire was to have two of my agents interview him as quickly, quietly, and discretely as possible. He agreed and offered to meet with the agents today,” McCabe wrote. “I explained that I thought the quickest way to get this done was to have a conversation between him and the agents only. I further stated that if LTG Flynn wished to include anyone else in the meeting, like the White House Counsel for instance, that would need to involve the Department of Justice. He stated that this would not be necessary and agreed to meet with the agents without any additional participants.”
William Barnett, the FBI agent who handled Flynn’s case in 2016 and 2017, called the Trump-Russia investigation “Collusion Clue” and argued many investigators were out to “get Trump.”
Top FBI officials had discussed the possibility of prosecuting Flynn for lying to the FBI about his contacts with the Russians as agents planned how to conduct their January 2017 interview of the Trump national security adviser, bureau notes show.
“I agreed yesterday that we shouldn’t show Flynn [REDACTED] if he didn’t admit” but “I thought about it last night and I believe we should rethink this,” Bill Priestap, the FBI’s head of counterintelligence, wrote in January 2017. “What is our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?”
Obama White House kept tabs on Flynn
An email that Obama national security adviser Susan Rice sent herself detailing an early January 2017 Oval Office meeting was declassified in 2020, revealing just how focused the outgoing Obama administration was on Flynn.
“Director Comey affirmed that he is processing ‘by the book’ as it relates to law enforcement. From a national security perspective, Comey said he does have some concerns that incoming NSA Flynn is speaking frequently with Russian ambassador Kislyak. Comey said that could be an issue as it relates to sharing sensitive information,” Rice wrote.
Former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates told Mueller’s team that she first learned the FBI possessed and was investigating recordings of Flynn’s conversations following an early January 2017 national security meeting at the White House, and that it was Obama — not Comey — who told her about it.
Obama “started by saying that he had ‘learned of the information about Flynn’ and his conversation with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak,” Yates said, according to FBI notes. “Obama specified he did not want any additional information on the matter but was seeking information on whether the White House should be treating Flynn any differently.”
Yates told investigators that “at that point,” she “had no idea what the President was talking about.” She “recalled Comey mentioning the Logan Act” but could not remember if Comey specifically said there was an “investigation.”
Handwritten notes by Strzok released by the Justice Department in 2020seem to quote then-Vice President Joe Biden directly raising the “Logan Act” related to Flynn, according to an apparent conversation Strzok had with Comey after an early January 2017 White House meeting. Strzok wrote that Comey said the Flynn-Kislyak calls “appear legit.” Obama emphasized that “the right people” should look into Flynn.
The task fell to Comey, McCabe, and Strzok.
The Flynn-Kislyak call and the FBI interview
The transcript of the call between Flynn and Kislyak — which occurred on December 29, 2016 — was declassified in 2020.
One transcript portion stated: “Flynn wants to convey the following [to Moscow]: Do not allow this [Obama] administration to box us in right now! Kislyak says they have conveyed it very clearly.”
“So, depending on what actions they take over this current issue of cyber stuff, where they are looking like they are going to dismiss some number of Russians out of the country. I understand all that and I understand that the information that they have and all that. But I ask Russia to do is to not, if anything, I know you have to have some sort of action, to only make it reciprocal; don’t go any further than you have to because I don’t want us to get into something that have to escalate to tit-for-tat. Do you follow me?” the transcript says Flynn said, with the transcript adding that “Kislyak says he understands what Flynn is saying, but Flynn might appreciate the sentiments that are raging now in Moscow.”
The transcript stated that Flynn said that “I really do not want us to get into the situation where we everybody goes back and forth and everybody had to be a tough guy here. We don’t need that right now. We need cool heads to prevail. And we need to be very steady about what we are going to do because we have absolutely a common threat in the Middle East.”
“Kislyak agrees. Now when FSB and GRU are sanctioned and Kislyak asks himself, does it mean that the U.S. is not willing to work on terrorist threats, Kislyak poses a question. Flynn says, yes. Kislyak says he heard Flynn and he will try people in Moscow to understand. Flynn repeats asking to reciprocate moderately,” the transcript stated.
The transcript added that Flynn also said, “Let’s keep this at even-kill level; then when we come in, we will have a better conversation where we are going to go regarding our relationship.”
The FBI’s notes of the interview of Flynn by Strzok and Pientka on January 24, 2017 were also released in a further declassified form this month. The interview occurred just a few hours after McCabe’s call with Flynn.
The FBI notes state: “FLYNN expanded that he had no particular affinity for Russia, but that KISLYAK was his counterpart, and maintaining trusted relationships within foreign governments is important.”
The notes state that “the interviewing agents asked FLYNN if he recalled any conversation with KISLYAK surrounding the expulsion of Russian diplomats or the closing of Russian properties in response to Russian hacking activities surrounding the election. FLYNN stated that he did not.”
The FBI notes also state that “the interviewing agents asked FLYNN if he recalled any conversation with KISLYAK in which the expulsions were discussed, where FLYNN might have encouraged KISLYAK not to escalate the situation, to keep the Russian response reciprocal,” or not to engage in a “tit-for-tat.” The FBI notes say that Flynn responded, “Not really. I don’t remember. It wasn’t ‘Don’t do anything.’”
Strzok was a key player throughout the FBI’s deeply flawed Crossfire Hurricane investigation — including writing the opening communication that launched the inquiry.
Pientka had conducted the FBI’s first counterintelligence briefing of then-candidate Trump in August 2016 at its New York field office — and the briefing had been used as a “pretext” to gather evidence on him and Flynn, according to 2019 testimony from DOJ inspector general Michael Horowitz.
“They sent a supervisory agent to the briefing from the Crossfire Hurricane team, and that agent prepared a report to the file of the briefing about what Mr. Trump and Mr. Flynn said,” Horowitz testified. “So the agent was actually doing the briefing but also using it for the purpose of investigation.”
It was Strzok who signed off on Pientka’s summary of that pretextual briefing.
The interview by Strzok and Pientka with Flynn in January 2017 would soon be leveraged by McCabe and the FBI to facilitate the firing of Flynn — and to underpin a prosecution.
Trump DOJ later points out flaws with FBI’s Flynn interview
The Trump Justice Department later pointed out significant problems with how McCabe and the rest of the FBI leadership had handled the Flynn affair.
“FBI Director Comey took the position that the FBI would not notify the incoming Trump administration of the Flynn-Kislyak communications. Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and other senior DOJ officials took the contrary view and believed that the incoming administration should be notified,” the DOJ said in 2020. “Deputy Attorney General Yates and another senior DOJ official became ‘frustrated’ when Director Comey’s justifications for withholding the information from the Trump administration repeatedly ‘morphed,’ vacillating from the potential compromise of a ‘counterintelligence’ investigation to the protection of a purported ‘criminal’ investigation.”
The DOJ said in 2020 that the morning of January 24, 2017 — right around when McCabe held his call with Flynn — Yates contacted Comey “to demand that the FBI notify the White House of the communications” but that “Comey did not initially return her call” — and when Comey called Yates back later that day, Comey “advised her that the FBI agents were already on their way to the White House to interview Mr. Flynn.” Yates said she was “flabbergasted” and “dumbfounded” while other senior DOJ officials “hit the roof” upon hearing of this development, given that “an interview of Flynn should have been coordinated with DOJ.”
But the machinations by McCabe and Comey ensured the FBI interview of Flynn happened the way they wanted.
Strzok and Pientka “didn’t show him the transcripts” of his calls when interviewing Flynn, the DOJ said, “nor did the agents give, at any point, warnings that making false statements would be a crime.”
And the DOJ said that “after the interview, the FBI agents expressed uncertainty as to whether Mr. Flynn had lied.” The DOJ wrote that Strzok and Pientka “had the impression at the time that Flynn was not lying or did not think he was lying.” And even Comey had his doubts about whether Flynn had even lied, saying, “I don’t know. I think there is an argument to be made he lied. It is a close one.”
“With its counterintelligence investigation no longer justifiably predicated, the communications between Mr. Flynn and Mr. Kislyak — the FBI’s sole basis for resurrecting the investigation on January 4, 2017 — did not warrant either continuing that existing counterintelligence investigation or opening a new criminal investigation,” the Trump DOJ determined in 2020. “The calls were entirely appropriate on their face. Mr. Flynn has never disputed that the calls were made. Indeed, Mr. Flynn, as the former Director of Defense Intelligence Agency, would have readily expected that the FBI had known of the calls — and told FBI Deputy Director McCabe as much.”
The Trump DOJ added: “The Government does not believe it could prove that Mr. Flynn knowingly and willfully made a false statement beyond a reasonable doubt. … The Government is not persuaded that the January 24, 2017 interview was conducted with a legitimate investigative basis and therefore does not believe Mr. Flynn’s statements were material even if untrue.”
Yet the FBI interview with Flynn would help end his brief tenure as national security adviser, and would result in his prosecution.
January 31, 2017 — McCabe talks to Bannon in the West Wing
McCabe wrote another memo about a meeting in the West Wing, accompanied by FBI official Bill Priestap, with then-White House official Steve Bannon on January 31, 2017.
The McCabe memo stated that “the purpose of the meeting was to discuss a piece of intelligence regarding Eugene Chin Yu, who claimed to be under consideration by Mr. Bannon for a position as Special Envoy to North Korea or the United States Ambassador to South Korea.” But the meeting soon led to a discussion about Trump and Comey.
“Mr. Bannon requested that he be given an opportunity to speak to me privately, and Mr. Priestap left the room. Mr. Bannon then mentioned that President Trump told him that he had a positive experience dining with Director Comey last Friday night and he inquired about whether the Director mentioned it to me,” McCabe wrote. “I replied that Director Comey was also very positive about their engagement. Mr. Bannon stated that he thought it was important to put the two men together to find out if Director Comey wished to stay in his position and whether President Trump wanted to retain him.”
McCabe later told Mueller’s team in September 2017 that he had essentially lied to Bannon, with the FBI’s notes of its interview with McCabe stating that “McCabe knew Comey did not have a good time, but answered that way in order to ‘move the issue off the table.’”
“Mr. Bannon explained that President Trump wished to be very supportive of law enforcement and to the FBI specifically Mr. Bannon was eager to identify opportunities for President Trump to visit the FBI, or to participate in FBI events, in an effort to publicly support the organization,” McCabe’s memo of the conversation stated. “Mr. Bannon pointed to the President’s recent speech at CIA headquarters as an example. He said President Trump would probably be quite interested in seeing the FBI Training Academy at Quantico, Virginia, and possibly could participate in a New Agent’s graduation. I told Mr. Bannon that I appreciated his and the President’s interest and indicated that I would discuss the matter with Director Comey.”
McCabe would later undercut efforts by Trump to pay a visit to the FBI, and McCabe would also soon exacerbate the tensions between Flynn and then-Vice President Mike Pence.
Flynn, Pence, and the Kislyak call
Obama had announced on December 29, 2016 that “I have ordered a number of actions in response to the Russian government’s aggressive harassment of U.S. officials and cyber operations aimed at the U.S. election.”
“I have issued an executive order that provides additional authority for responding to certain cyber activity that seeks to interfere with or undermine our election processes and institutions, or those of our allies or partners,” Obama said. “I have sanctioned nine entities and individuals: the GRU and the FSB, two Russian intelligence services; four individual officers of the GRU; and three companies that provided material support to the GRU’s cyber operations.”
Obama also said that “the State Department is also shutting down two Russian compounds, in Maryland and New York, used by Russian personnel for intelligence-related purposes, and is declaring ‘persona non grata’ 35 Russian intelligence operatives.”
Then-Vice President Mike Pence had told CBS News on January 15, 2017 that “I talked to General Flynn about that conversation [with Kislyak]… It was strictly coincidental that they had a conversation. They did not discuss anything having to do with the United States’ decision to expel diplomats or impose censure against Russia.”
“It wasn’t about sanctions. It was about the 35 guys who were thrown out,” Flynn later told the Daily Caller in February 2017 about his call with Kislyak. “So that’s what it turned out to be. It was basically, ‘Look, I know this happened. We’ll review everything.’ I never said anything such as, ‘We’re going to review sanctions,’ or anything like that.”
But Flynn signed a guilty plea in November 2017 after being targeted by the Mueller investigation. The Mueller team contended that “FLYNN’s false statements and omissions impeded and otherwise had a material impact on the FBI’s ongoing investigation into the existence of any links or coordination between individuals associated with the Campaign and Russia’s efforts to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.”
Flynn’s legal team moved to withdraw Flynn’s guilty plea in January 2020, declaring their client was “innocent” and pointing to “the government’s bad faith, vindictiveness, and breach of the plea agreement.”
Flynn’s lawyers told the court in the summer of 2020 that they believed the declassified information was exculpatory evidence “demonstrating (i) his innocence; (ii) the absence of any crime; (iii) government misconduct in the investigation of General Flynn; and (iv) prosecutorial misconduct in the suppression of evidence favorable to the defense.”
February 10, 2017 — McCabe meets with Pence about Flynn controversy
McCabe penned an additional memo about a counterintelligence briefing that he and Priestap gave at the Office of the Vice President on February 10, 2017 — just three days before Flynn was forced to resign as national security adviser at the behest of Pence. The memo shows that it was McCabe who showed Pence and other White House officials the Flynn-Kislyak transcript, and that McCabe discussed the Logan Act with Pence and others.
McCabe wrote that “I went to the White House to provide a basic CI [counterintelligence] defensive brief to the staff members of the Office of the Vice President” and that, after leaving the briefing and preparing to head back to FBI quarters, a yet-redacted FBI special agent “informed me that the White House Counsel’s office had been trying to reach me. Before leaving the White House grounds, I contacted the Sit Room. They informed me that White House Counsel Donald McGahn requested that I meet him in the West Wing to discuss an urgent matter in person.”
McCabe first went to McGahn’s office and then went to Pence’s office in the West Wing, where he met with Pence, McGahn, White House counsel’s office lawyer James Burnham, Pence chief of staff Josh Pitcock, and White House chief of staff Reince Priebus.
“After entering the office, Mr. Priebus informed me that he wanted to review ‘the transcripts.’ I understood he was referring to the transcripts of the telephone conversations between National Security Advisor Michael Flynn and Russian Ambassador to the United States Sergei Kislyak that were recently revealed in an article in the Washington Post,” McCabe wrote. “He mentioned that he knew the FBI previously allowed John Eisenberg, Legal Advisor to the National Security Staff, to review the transcripts. I indicated to Mr. Priebus and the others that I could have Bill Priestap retrieve the transcripts from FBI HQ so that they could review them. The Vice President asked me to dispatch Bill Priestap so that they could review the materials as soon as possible.”
McCabe said that he left the room to call Priestap and to direct him to retrieve the transcripts, and that he also spoke with FBI general counsel James Baker, who “agreed that the review was permissible.”
McCabe said he returned to the office and “I received several questions from Mr. Priebus about how the transcripts could have leaked to the media, and whether or not the FBI was investigating the leak. I replied that we did not know how information about the transcripts had been leaked but that we had submitted a referral to the Department of Justice requesting authorization to begin a media leak investigation. I explained that the investigations would include recent and previous revelations in the Washington Post and other news outlets.”
Leakers not caught
McCabe also wrote in his memo that “Pence asked if I had read the transcripts and I indicated that I had. He then asked if the articles were correct. I first stated that I could not confirm whether the reporter had access to the transcripts or if they had merely spoken to someone who had such access. I then stated that I thought the article in the Post accurately reflected the substance of the transcripts. The Vice President asked, ‘Did they talk about the sanctions?’ I understood him to be asking whether Mr. Flynn and Mr. Kislyak discussed the U.S. sanctions imposed on Russia at the end of December 2016. I indicated that they did discuss the sanctions in those conversations.”
The memo by McCabe stated that “the Vice President indicated that he needed to discuss the matter with his staff, so I left the room to wait for Mr. Priestap to return with the transcripts.”
Once the transcripts were retrieved by Priestap, McCabe wrote that “I provided the Vice President with transcripts of telephone calls captured on 12/23/2016, 12/29/2016 and 12/31/2016. All three calls were between Mr. Flynn and Mr. Kislyak.” McCabe said that “I brought the Vice President’s attention to the call on 12/29/2016” — the call McCabe knew the FBI had grilled Flynn on the month prior.
“While reading the first two pages he commented that several items were consistent with what Mr. Flynn previously informed him had been discussed on the call. He requested that Mr. Pitcock get him a transcript of his comments to CBS news and one was produced. He also asked when the Obama administration announced the sanctions against Russia and someone confirmed that the sanctions were made public on 12/29/2016,” McCabe said of Pence. “Upon reading the portion of the transcript that detailed Mr. Flynn’s comments about the sanctions, the Vice President appeared frustrated and noted that Mr. Flynn initiated the discussion on that topic. The Vice President and the others compared Mr. Flynn’s statements in the transcripts with the Vice President’s comments to CBS News, and discussed what Mr. Flynn had told the Vice President about his conversations.”
McCabe wrote that Priebus, McGahn, Burnham, and Pitcock also reviewed some of the transcripts.
“Mr. Priebus asked me questions about whether or not the discussions related in the transcripts could constitute a violation of the Logan Act. I replied that he would need to ask the Department of Justice whether or not the calls constituted a violation of the act,” McCabe wrote. “I further stated that I was not aware of any prior prosecutions of Logan Act violations. Mr. Priebus asked if previous administrations had similar contacts with foreign representatives prior to taking office officially. I indicated that although I could not speak authoritatively about the actions of previous administrations, I thought it was possible that considerations like that could have been why the act had not been charged in the past.”
McCabe knew quite well that the FBI had indeed considered investigating and potentially prosecuting Flynn under the Logan Act.
“The FBI had in their possession transcripts of the relevant calls,” the Trump DOJ wrote in May 2020 when seeking to throw out the Flynn prosecution. “Believing that the counterintelligence investigation of Mr. Flynn was to be closed, FBI leadership determined to continue its investigation of Mr. Flynn on the basis of these calls, and considered opening a new criminal investigation based solely on a potential violation of the Logan Act.”
McCabe’s memo concluded by saying that “the Vice President finished reading the transcripts and thanked us for providing them.”
Flynn was pushed to resign just a few days after McCabe’s meeting in the West Wing with Pence.
February 15, 2017—McCabe refuses to shoot down ‘false’ NYT story on Trump & Russia
McCabe’s memos also detailed a meeting with Priebus at the White House on February 15, 2017 — now just a few days after Flynn’s ouster — where McCabe refused to publicly shoot down a New York Times article on alleged Trump-Russia collusion, even though McCabe acknowledged it was “false.” McCabe also advised Priebus that Trump should not shoot the story down either. McCabe was again accompanied to this meeting by Priestap, and the meeting again began as a defensive briefing which devolved into a discussion about Russia.
“I went to the White House for a meeting with Chief of Staff to the President Reince Priebus. FBI Assistant Director for Counterintelligence Bill Priestap accompanied me. We were met by William Evanina, who is an FBI agent currently on detail to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence as the Director of the National Counterintelligence Security Center. The purpose of the meeting was to provide a counterintelligence defensive briefing to Mr. Priebus,” McCabe wrote. “We convened in Mr. Priebus’ office on the second floor of the West Wing. Joining us were White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations Joe Hagin, Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Intelligence Programs Ezra Cohen, and one of Mr. Priebus’ briefers from the President’s Daily Briefing Staff. Over the course of about 25 minutes, Mr. Priestap provided the briefing and Mr. Evanina contributed details about cyber espionage and other counterintelligence topics.”
McCabe wrote that “the briefing concluded when Mr. Priebus indicated he had another meeting to attend. I asked Mr. Priebus if he had a moment to discuss a sensitive matter privately. He said he did and the other individuals left the room. I informed Mr. Priebus that the article that appeared in the New York Times this morning which purported to detail FBI efforts to investigate contacts between Russian intelligence officers and several individuals associated with the Trump campaign was largely inaccurate. … I further stated that I was aware of only two White House employees who were in contact with the Russian government: Michael Flynn and Hope Hicks. I reminded him that we discussed the substance of Mr. Flynn’s contacts on Friday, 02/10/2017. I further stated that the FBI’s assessment was that Hope Hicks’ contacts were innocuous, within the scope of her duties, and that we had already provided her with a defensive briefing.”
The article contended that “American law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted the communications around the same time they were discovering evidence that Russia was trying to disrupt the presidential election by hacking into the Democratic National Committee… The intelligence agencies then sought to learn whether the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election.”
The McCabe memo said that “Priebus seemed surprised by my comments and indicated that he also thought the article was false. He indicated that the administration was frustrated by having to spend so much time and effort refuting press stories that the White House perceived to be false. Mr. Priebus asked if the FBI would publicly state that the article was false. I told him that we did not do that sort of thing because when we corrected inaccurate news accounts we might inadvertently telegraph to our adversaries our capabilities and our operational activity. He asked if he could share what I told him with others in the White House, including the President. I told him he could share it with whoever he felt he needed to, as long as they did not share it publicly.”
Priebus asked, “What if I told the President and he inadvertently tweeted it?” McCabe wrote that “I told him that would not be a good thing. He continued to press me to consider how the FBI could issue some sort of statement to address this issue. I told him that I would discuss the matter with Director Comey and then get back to him.”

I will admit, when I first read that Susan Rice was still ensconced on the Defense Policy Board well into the new Trump administration, I thought it must surely be fake news, some hallucination conjured by an overactive internet rumor mill. Yet, with the bitter taste of disbelief still fresh, the facts became clear. Not only had she lingered, she had lingered officially, and with all the institutional imprimatur the position carries. It is the sort of stunning oversight that shakes one’s faith in the assumption that elections carry consequences.
Rice, a veteran of Obama-era foreign policy failures and perhaps best remembered for her calculatedly deceptive Sunday show performances following the Benghazi disaster, was somehow still whispering counsel into the halls of the Pentagon in 2025. Her known hostility to President Trump, his America First doctrine, and the foundational pillars of his administration did not, apparently, disqualify her. Her presence was not merely inappropriate, it was absurd, a lingering ghost from an administration the voters had quite emphatically rejected.
Thankfully, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth acted swiftly. Upon confirming the disgraceful truth, he took the only responsible course available: he discharged the entire cadre of Pentagon advisory board members, wiping the slate clean. Yet the discovery of Rice’s lingering influence opened a larger question in my mind. How many other advisory boards, spread across the vast administrative sprawl of Washington, remained populated by individuals not just ideologically distant from the president but openly hostile to his agenda?
When I dug deeper, the findings were no less alarming.
At the State Department, Thomas Donilon, a consummate Democratic insider who served as Barack Obama’s National Security Advisor, continued to co-chair the Foreign Affairs Policy Board. Donilon, whose worldview is saturated in the globalist dogmas that Trumpism explicitly rejects, was not some neutral technocrat offering dispassionate advice. He was, and remains, a committed architect of the very foreign policy status quo that voters repudiated.
Serving alongside Donilon was Cecilia Muñoz, another alumnus of the Obama White House, celebrated in progressive circles for her aggressive domestic policy advocacy. That she too advised the State Department in 2025 suggests not malevolent intent by Trump officials, but the lingering inertia of an entrenched bureaucracy and the sheer pace at which the new administration had to operate.
The situation at the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board was equally disquieting. Janet Napolitano, former Obama DHS Secretary and Democratic governor, lent her counsel, as did Evan Bayh, a loyal son of the Democratic establishment. Jane Harman, the California Democrat whose tenure on the House Intelligence Committee made her a fixture of Beltway orthodoxy, also held a seat, alongside Calvin Smyre, the “Dean” of Georgia Democrats.
It must be said: these appointments were not acts of sabotage, they were inherited artifacts of the prior administration, relics that had, perhaps through bureaucratic oversight, been allowed to persist longer than they should have. The Trump administration, moving at a breakneck pace to secure cabinet confirmations, implement executive orders, and dismantle the administrative state’s more overt structures, may not have fully cleared the decks of every board and commission.
The President’s Export Council, ostensibly a forum for economic growth, suffered from a similar inertia. Keisha Lance Bottoms, former Atlanta mayor and Democratic partisan, advised on export matters, flanked by Lacy Johnson, a Democratic operative from Indiana, Patrick Murphy, a Democratic former congressman from Florida, and Juan Verde, a Democratic strategist from the Obama Commerce Department.
These individuals are not mere advisors offering technical expertise from some neutral Olympus. They are political actors, shaped by decades of partisan struggle, invested in the success of the Democratic Party and the failure of the Republican vision for America. Their continued presence on federal advisory boards confers undeserved credibility, allowing them to subtly or not so subtly undermine the president’s directives under the guise of “expert opinion.”
Even within the Department of Defense itself, figures like Michael Bloomberg and Reid Hoffman, both prominent Democratic donors and partisans, held advisory positions on the Defense Innovation Board. Robert Wolf, famously dubbed “Obama’s Wall Street ally,” lingered on the Defense Business Board. Their appointments predated the new administration and, in the tumult of transition, may not yet have been formally revoked.
Advisory boards matter. They shape the information a president and his cabinet receive, frame the choices deemed “serious,” and create institutional momentum behind or against policy initiatives. A hostile advisor is not a harmless academic adding “diversity of thought.” He is a wedge, a saboteur in slow motion, capable of cloaking opposition in the respectable garments of “best practices” and “expertise.”
To appreciate the peril, one need only revisit George Washington’s Farewell Address, in which he warned against “the insidious wiles of foreign influence.” Today, foreign influence often enters not through emissaries but through the porous membranes of a permanent political class, credentialed, networked, and ideologically committed to resisting populist correction.
What President Trump, Secretary Hegseth, and others must recognize is that elections, though decisive at the ballot box, are never self-executing within the bureaucratic labyrinth. Personnel, as the old Reagan maxim goes, is policy. Without loyal personnel, policy becomes little more than rhetorical flourish, mocked and resisted within the very apparatus charged with carrying it out.
It is not sufficient, therefore, to appoint secretaries and department heads. The advisory bodies must be purged of those whose loyalty lies with other agendas. It is not a question of suppressing dissent or banishing disagreement. It is a question of ensuring that advice flows from those who share, at a fundamental level, the vision that voters endorsed.
Nor should we shy away from acknowledging that credibility itself is a weapon. A Donilon or a Napolitano or a Rice can, with the simple weight of a title, influence media narratives, congressional investigations, and public perceptions. The mere fact that such a figure “advises” the president creates the illusion of bipartisan concern when, in fact, what exists is partisan subversion.
The stakes are not academic. As Mark Twain once noted, “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” In our era, an ill-placed advisor can seed narratives, foment resistance, and hamstring executive action before the ink on a policy directive has even dried.
The Trump administration must move swiftly to correct these oversights. A full review, department by department, board by board, is essential. Those whose affiliations, records, and loyalties stand in opposition to the constitutional mandate entrusted to President Trump must be thanked for their prior service and formally dismissed. Moreover, it is vital that these removals are publicly reported, ensuring that neither the media nor the bureaucratic establishment can operate under the false assumption that these old holdovers remain in positions of influence.
In doing so, we reaffirm a basic principle: the American people have the right to see their political choices honored not merely symbolically but operationally. Anything less is a betrayal disguised as continuity.

VIDEO ANALYSIS: “7 Headshots” – U.S. Capitol, Jan 6, 2021 | 1:06 PM
📍 Location: West Plaza, U.S. Capitol
🕐 Time: 1:06 PM, January 6th, 2021
🔒 Status: Footage was buried in a classified folder labeled “Previously Highly Sensitive” and withheld from hundreds of January 6 survivors and legal defense teams.
🚨 Key Observations:
7 Rubber Bullets — 7 Direct Headshots.
The video shows a Capitol Police officer systematically firing rubber bullets directly into the heads and faces of multiple demonstrators in rapid succession.
No Active Threat Justified That Force.
The crowd is densely packed, with no clear indication of violent aggression. Most of the targets are either standing still, raising hands, or attempting to shield themselves.
No Warnings, No De-escalation.
There’s no audible warning or demand for dispersal before the shots are fired. The use of force is immediate, targeted, and arguably punitive.
Several Victims Collapse or Stumble.
One man takes a direct hit to the face and drops instantly. Another doubles over. No officers render medical aid. No EMS teams are visible.
🧨 Why This Matters:
This was not crowd control — this was retaliatory violence.
Rubber bullets are classified as “less-lethal,” but direct headshots violate all recognized use-of-force protocols. These shots could have caused permanent brain damage, blindness, or death.
And this footage was hidden.
Defense attorneys, survivors, and the public were deliberately denied access to a clip that undermines the official narrative — that protesters initiated violence and police merely responded.
⚖️ This Footage Demands:
Immediate public release of all related bodycam angles
Formal congressional review of suppressed evidence
Reparations and justice for those shot, mischarged, or silenced

Letitia James Brooklyn property (Credit: Google Maps)
In a high-stakes response to a federal criminal referral, Letitia James’ defense lawyer, Abbe David Lowell, submitted a letter to U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi that made a stunning error: he fundamentally misunderstood the very property at the center of the investigation. The letter, prompted by the FHFA’s referral for potential mortgage fraud, falsely claimed James’ Brooklyn property “has always functioned as a four-person residence.” But official records, utility infrastructure, and tenant complaints paint a very different—and legally significant—picture.
In his letter to the US Attorney General, James’ lawyer made these specific claims about 296 Lafayette Avenue:
“In 2001, Ms. James purchased her Brooklyn, New York home with her savings to facilitate supporting her mother (sick at the time) and give other family members a place to live. Ms. James and her family members have lived there since 2001. The co-occupancy dwelling has four floors and, for as long as Ms. James has lived there, the property has always functioned as a four-person residence. Initially, Ms. James’ mother lived on the first floor; Ms. James occupied the second floor; a close family friend occupied the third floor; and her brother occupied the fourth floor. The basement did not have any unit. After Ms. James’ mother died, and to this day, Ms. James has occupied the first and second floor units for herself, while her close family friend and brother occupy units on the top two floors.”
This description reveals a lawyer completely unfamiliar with:
The building’s legal classification
The physical layout of the property
The actual utility services present
The documented complaint history
Most strikingly, the Certificate of Occupancy shows no fourth floor exists—yet the lawyer claims James’ brother lives there. That alone should have disqualified the letter.
The lawyer appears to be operating from a completely misaligned floor numbering system — a critical error that fundamentally affects how we understand the entire property and the tenant complaints:
Lawyer’s Floor Numbering
“Basement”: Actually the cellar — not legal for residential use. Lawyer conflates this with the basement.
“First Floor”: Actually the basement, which contains Unit 1 (which the lawyer claimed was occupied by James’ mother, but records show was occupied by tenants)
“Second Floor”: Actually the first floor (location of Unit 2B, a registered tenant unit)
“Third Floor”: Actually the second floor (lawyer claims it’s a single unit, but C/O says otherwise)
“Fourth Floor”: Doesn’t exist—this is pure fabrication
Actual Building (Per C/O)
Cellar: Not a legal residential space
Basement: One legal unit (“Unit 1” in HPD records)
First Floor: One legal unit (however, includes “Unit 2B” in HPD complaint records)
Second Floor: One legal unit
Third Floor: TWO separate legal units
Fourth Floor: Does not exist
This misalignment is critical because tenant complaints from “Unit 1” and “Unit 2B” correspond to spaces the lawyer claims were exclusively occupied by James and her mother—not by unrelated tenants. When we correctly align the floors, we see that these complaints directly contradict the lawyer’s claims about who lived where.
This isn’t just an embarrassing error in a routine real estate transaction, but in a letter to the U.S. Attorney General defending New York’s chief legal officer. The attorney isn’t just mistaken—he’s describing a building that doesn’t exist. (Read more: White Collar Fraud, 4/25/2025)(Archive)

– He was in a BlackRock commercial
– Joe Rogan says some individuals inside BlackRock may have “recognized that it’s beneficial to them if he gets assassinated”
– There was never a formal report
– There was never press conferences where they detailed all the information they know currently and where the investigation stands at the moment
– He was a very young g kid there with a rangefinder (used to measure distances, very suspicious)
– CNN streamed it live, which Joe Rogan does not believe they did for any other rally. And certainly not for a rally that’s in the middle of nowhere in Pennsylvania
– They wouldn’t let people be on that roof because the Secret service lady said it was sloped and it was dangerous
– The snipers that were on the other roof was a, a steeper pitch (It made no f*cking sense)
– Random people saw him and pointed him out on the roof with a gun for a long time before it happened
– The kid had 5 phones
– His body was immediately cremated
– There was some indications that there was a phone that had been traveling from outside the FBI offices in D.C to where this kid lived multiple times
We need answers.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has reassigned several agents who were photographed kneeling with demonstrators during a 2020 protest in the wake of police killing of George Floyd, people briefed on the matter told CNN.
The reassignments, viewed as demotions by many inside the FBI, come nearly five years after the episode that ignited controversy inside the bureau. FBI officials offered no explanation for changing the roles to less coveted positions for the agents, according to sources.
The FBI declined to comment to CNN, citing its policy to not discuss personnel matters. Agents affected didn’t respond to requests for comment. (Read more: CNN, 4/30/2025) (Archive)

Ashli Babbitt’s family just reached a settlement in their $30 million wrongful death lawsuit.
She was unarmed.
Surrounded by cops.
Posed no threat.
And they executed her.
After witnessing Rosanne Boyland’s murder in the West Tunnel, I moved to D.C. and helped guard
@michellewittho1 — Ashli’s mom — when she was assaulted by a D.C. Gulag guard during the first week of her now 4+ year vigil.
I wore a T-shirt with Ashli and Rosanne’s faces — and the truth:
“They Were Murdered by the Police.”
And now the U.S. government just admitted it.
We wore that shirt through dozens of committee hearings, trials, interviews across D.C., and every night at the vigil, where thousands watched from around the world.
We built a resistance.
We built a community.
And yes—we changed the world.
I love Micki with all my heart.
It was the honor of my life to stand beside her.
To wear Ashli’s face.
To speak Rosanne’s name.
To look evil in the eye and not blink.
This is what winning looks like.
We never gave up. And we never will.

“60 Minutes” ran a highly partisan segment likening President Trump to a cold-blooded mob boss Sunday — even as its corporate parent, Paramount Global, is currently in talks to settle a $20 billion lawsuit with the Trump administration over election interference.
“The fact is that these law firms are being told, ‘If you don’t play ball with us, maybe somethin’ really bad will happen to you,’” he said during Sunday night’s episode.
Pelley also sat down with Marc Elias, a longtime rival of Trump and a former Perkins Coie partner hired by the Kamala Harris 2024 presidential campaign, in the one-sided segment.
“Donald Trump is the walking embodiment of everything that is wrong with the American political system,” said Elias, who first crossed paths with Trump while a part of Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.
“And so when Donald Trump says that I am unethical or that I am undermining his vision of America, I say, ‘Boy I must be doin’ something right.’”

Earlier today President Trump signed an executive order blocking the U.S. development of “gain of function” research, the manipulation of biological agents to weaponize their lethality. [Executive Order Here]
As Health and Human Service Secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr noted in his remarks, the modern U.S. development of the bioweapons program was an outcome of a little-known subset within the Patriot Act that allowed scientists to develop bioweapons without legal accountability for any negative outcome. Let us not pretend….
In 2014 a U.S. developed bioweapon escaped a lab and in response President Obama stopped the program. However, the stoppage only blocked development of the bioweapons on U.S. soil. The various government agencies then continued the “gain of function” bioweapon development by offshoring the experiments and conducting the research in foreign countries. The SARS-CoV-2 weapon, COVID-19, was developed in one of those labs in Wuhan, China, and escaped creating the pandemic of 2020. WATCH:
Trump signs Executive Order to end federal funding for gain-of-function virus research which many now believe caused the COVID pandemic. pic.twitter.com/mWKz2deuy3
EXECUTIVE ORDER – Section 1. Purpose. Dangerous gain-of-function research on biological agents and pathogens has the potential to significantly endanger the lives of American citizens. If left unrestricted, its effects can include widespread mortality, an impaired public health system, disrupted American livelihoods, and diminished economic and national security.
The Biden Administration allowed dangerous gain-of-function research within the United States with insufficient levels of oversight. It also actively approved, through the National Institutes of Health, Federal life-science research funding in China and other countries where there is limited United States oversight or reasonable expectation of biosafety enforcement.
This recklessness, if unaddressed, may lead to the proliferation of research on pathogens (and potential pathogens) in settings without adequate safeguards, even after COVID-19 revealed the risk of such practices.
Sec. 2. Policy. It is the policy of the United States to ensure that United States federally funded research benefits American citizens without jeopardizing our Nation’s security, strength, or prosperity. My Administration will balance the prevention of catastrophic consequences with maintaining readiness against biological threats and driving global leadership in biotechnology, biological countermeasures, biosecurity, and health research.
Sec. 3. Stop Dangerous Gain-of-Function Research. (a) The Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs (APNSA), and in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the heads of other relevant executive departments and agencies (agencies) identified by the Director of OSTP, shall establish guidance for the heads of relevant agencies, to the extent consistent with the terms and conditions of the funding, to immediately:
(i) end Federal funding of dangerous gain-of-function research conducted by foreign entities in countries of concern (e.g., China) pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 6627(c), or in other countries where there is not adequate oversight to ensure that the countries are compliant with United States oversight standards and policies; and
(ii) end Federal funding of other life-science research that is occurring in countries of concern or foreign countries where there is not adequate oversight to ensure that the countries are compliant with United States oversight standards and policies and that could reasonably pose a threat to public health, public safety, and economic or national security, as determined by the heads of relevant agencies.
(b) The Director of OSTP, in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and the APNSA, and in consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the heads of other relevant agencies, shall establish guidance for the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the heads of other relevant agencies with respect to suspension of federally funded dangerous gain-of-function research, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the relevant research funding, at least until the completion of the policy called for in section 4(a) of this order. Heads of agencies shall report any exception to a suspension to the Director of OSTP for review in consultation with the APNSA and the heads of relevant agencies.
Sec. 4. Secure Future Research Through Commonsense Frameworks. (a) Within 120 days of the date of this order, the Director of OSTP, pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 6627 and in coordination with the APNSA and the heads of relevant agencies, shall revise or replace the 2024 “United States Government Policy for Oversight of Dual Use Research of Concern and Pathogens with Enhanced Pandemic Potential” to:
(i) strengthen top-down independent oversight; increase accountability through enforcement, audits, and improved public transparency; and clearly define the scope of covered research while ensuring the United States remains the global leader in biotechnology, biological countermeasures, and health research;
(ii) incorporate enforcement mechanisms, including those described in section 7 of this order, into Federal funding agreements to ensure compliance with all Federal policies governing dangerous gain-of-function research; and
(iii) provide for review and revision at least every 4 years, or as appropriate.
(b) Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Director of OSTP, in coordination with the APNSA and the heads of relevant agencies, shall revise or replace the 2024 “Framework for Nucleic Acid Synthesis Screening” (Framework) to ensure it takes a commonsense approach and effectively encourages providers of synthetic nucleic acid sequences to implement comprehensive, scalable, and verifiable synthetic nucleic acid procurement screening mechanisms to minimize the risk of misuse. The heads of all agencies that fund life-science research shall ensure that synthetic nucleic acid procurement is conducted through providers or manufacturers that adhere to the updated Framework. To ensure compliance, the updated Framework shall incorporate the enforcement mechanisms described in section 7 of this order. The Framework shall be reviewed and revised at least every 4 years, or as appropriate
Sec. 5. Manage Risks Associated with Non-federally Funded Research. Within 180 days of the date of this order, the Director of OSTP, in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, the APNSA, the Assistant to the President for Domestic Policy, and the heads of other relevant agencies, shall develop and implement a strategy to govern, limit, and track dangerous gain-of-function research across the United States that occurs without Federal funding and other life-science research that could cause significant societal consequences. This strategy shall include actions to achieve comprehensive, scalable, and verifiable nucleic acid synthesis screening in non-federally funded settings. Any gaps in authorities necessary to achieve the goals of this strategy shall be addressed in a legislative proposal to be sent to the President, through the Director of OSTP and the APNSA, within 180 days of the date of this order.
Sec. 6. Increase Accountability and Public Transparency of Dangerous Gain-of-Function Research. The Director of OSTP, in coordination with the APNSA and the heads of relevant agencies, shall ensure that the revised policy called for in section 4(a) of this order includes a mechanism whereby research institutions that receive Federal funding must report dangerous gain-of-function research, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, include research that is supported by non-Federal funding mechanisms. The reporting mechanism shall provide a publicly available source of information about research programs and awards identified pursuant to this section, including, where permitted by law, those that have been stopped or suspended pursuant to sections 3(a) and 3(b) of this order, and all future programs and awards that are covered by the updated policy developed in section 4(a) of this order. This reporting shall be conducted in a way that does not compromise national security or legitimate intellectual property interests of subject institutions.
Sec. 7. Future Enforcement Terms. The Secretary of Health and Human Services and the heads of other relevant agencies shall, consistent with existing laws and regulations, include in every life-science research contract or grant award:
(a) a term requiring the contractual counterparty or grant recipient to agree that its compliance in all respects with the terms of this order and any applicable regulations promulgated by the contracting or grant-offering agency is material to the Government’s payment decisions for purposes of 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4);
(b) a term requiring such counterparty or recipient to certify that it does not operate, participate in, or fund any dangerous gain-of-function research or other life-science research in foreign countries that could cause significant societal consequences or generate unnecessary national security risks, and that does not comply with this order and the policies ordered herein;
(c) a term stating that a violation of the terms of this order or any applicable regulations promulgated by the contracting or grant-offering agency by any grant recipient may be considered a violation of such term by the recipient’s employer or institution; and
(d) a term stating that any grant recipient, employer, or institution found to be in violation of the terms of this order or any applicable regulations promulgated by the contracting or grant-making agency may be subject to immediate revocation of ongoing Federal funding, and up to a 5-year period of ineligibility for Federal life-sciences grant funds offered by the Department of Health and Human Services and other relevant agencies.
Sec. 8. Definitions. For the purposes of this order,
“dangerous gain-of-function research” means scientific research on an infectious agent or toxin with the potential to cause disease by enhancing its pathogenicity or increasing its transmissibility. Covered research activities are those that could result in significant societal consequences and that seek or achieve one or more of the following outcomes:
(a) enhancing the harmful consequences of the agent or toxin;
(b) disrupting beneficial immunological response or the effectiveness of an immunization against the agent or toxin;
(c) conferring to the agent or toxin resistance to clinically or agriculturally useful prophylactic or therapeutic interventions against that agent or toxin or facilitating their ability to evade detection methodologies;
(d) increasing the stability, transmissibility, or the ability to disseminate the agent or toxin;
(e) altering the host range or tropism of the agent or toxin;
(f) enhancing the susceptibility of a human host population to the agent or toxin; or
(g) generating or reconstituting an eradicated or extinct agent or toxin.
(…) Grassley and Johnson demanded the National Archives turn over all communications with the Biden White House, FBI and DOJ related to the Mar-a-Lago raid.
“Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) are calling on the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to release all government records demonstrating the Biden administration’s role in advancing investigations into then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. The senators are also opening an inquiry into NARA and its Inspector General’s role in those investigations,” the Senate Judiciary Committee announced on Monday.
The chairmen requested:
All records between or among Department of Justice (DOJ), FBI and Biden White House officials referring or relating to President Trump’s election interference case, that began as the Arctic Frost investigation and ultimately became part of Jack Smith’s elector case.
All records between or among DOJ, FBI and Biden White House officials referring or relating to the investigation into President Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified information.
All NARA records, including the NARA Office of Inspector General, referring or relating to the Arctic Frost and the classified document investigations.
Last month Grassley and Johnson released new records detailing the FBI and DOJ’s sweeping investigation that formed the basis of Jack Smith’s DC case against President Trump.
Grassley and Johnson previously blew the lid off another sham investigation orchestrated by Biden’s corrupt Department of Justice and compromised FBI.
According to the documents released last month, the FBI and DOJ weaponized their power to target President Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and their allies through a probe dubbed “Arctic Frost.”
“Operation Arctic Frost” was a taxpayer-funded witch hunt launched in April 2022 that seized government-issued cell phones belonging to Trump and Pence while conducting a barrage of interviews across the country.
The FBI did not require a warrant to take possession of government phones from the Biden White House. However, after securing the devices, agents began preparing a search warrant to access their data, sources familiar with the investigation told Fox News.
The senators claim anti-Trump FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault violated FBI protocols—specifically the “No Self-Approval Rule”—to kickstart the investigation, which later turned into Special Counsel Jack Smith’s bogus lawfare case against Trump, relying on fabricated justifications, including the absurd claim that Trump and his associates had engaged in “fraudulent” activities related to the 2020 election.

— Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) May 6, 2025
Ten years ago, Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How Foreign Governments and Businesses Made Bill and Hillary Rich, was published. Its revelations launched an FBI investigation into Bill and Hillary Clinton’s family foundation. The book rocked official Washington, prompted widespread media coverage, including front-page write-ups in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post. Later reporting would confirm how much the book spooked the Clinton campaign team, which may have been why her campaign pursued the “Steele Dossier” attempt to tie their opponent, Donald Trump, to Russia.
The book even spawned a graphic novel–style treatment, a Fox News prime time special, and a documentary film.
To mark the book’s tenth anniversary, joining Peter Schweizer, the book’s author, and his co-host Eric Eggers on the most recent episode of The Drill Down is Steve Bannon, who was a co-founder of the Government Accountability Institute and now runs a daily show of his own called “The War Room.”
Back in 2015, Bannon was a big part of the book’s aggressive rollout strategy, which also included pre-publication sharing of some of its chapters with the New York Times, which then produced its own frontpage story on the sale of Uranium One to the Russians while Hillary was Secretary of State. Could that kind of media support for an investigative journalism book happen today?
“It was pretty amazing, the research that you and the team did to actually pull it all together,” Bannon says. “That’s why the book was so powerful.” He adds that since then, “the media ecosystem has changed.” He notes that the lesson the legacy media learned from the experience with Clinton Cash was not to report on stories that might in some way benefit Donald Trump, a tendency they would repeat in 2020 with the Hunter Biden laptop story, and again in 2024 with the lack of attention paid to Joe Biden’s deteriorating mental capacity.
On a recent podcast appearance, for example, former NBC host Chuck Todd loudly denied that the mainstream media missed the story of Joe Biden’s mental demise — calling it “right-wing-manufactured” spin. “I just refuse to accept this stupid premise because it’s a right-wing-manufactured, right-wing premise in order to stain the media,” Todd claimed.
Bannon believes the emerging new media needs to look past Todd’s brand of partisan boosterism. Clinton Cash and Schweizer’s later books, which were largely ignored by legacy media outlets, were nevertheless highly influential. “Our lesson is… If you do the work, people will find the story.”
This is a corrected and expanded version of an article originally published at 1:08 PM on May 7, 2025. It includes critical factual updates and new findings resulting from an ongoing investigation. I am being fully transparent about an error I made at the outset of the investigation, how that error occurred, and how correcting it led to the discovery of something even more significant..
Building a Real Estate Empire, One Undisclosed Deed at a Time
The initial confusion was driven by a seemingly impossible coincidence: Senator Thom R. Tillis has a brother—also named Thom R. Tillis That detail, obscured in legal and corporate filings, made it appear that the Senator himself had engaged in a self-dealing real estate transaction. I originally believed the Senator had acquired 5508 Enslow Place through an LLC via $0 quitclaim deed and later sold it for profit without reporting the transaction in mandatory senate financial disclosures.
That turned out to be incorrect. But rather than invalidate the story, correcting it uncovered something even more bizarre—and far more troubling.
Senator Thomas Roland Tillis, a senior Republican from North Carolina and sitting member of powerful Senate committees on Banking, Finance, and the Judiciary, is tied to a network of real estate transactions involving his family members, an array of limited liability companies, and a nonprofit corporation registered to a luxury residential address. The result is a financial and legal ecosystem that appears to be engineered for opacity and protected by bespoke legislation and corrupt government oversight.
This report presents evidence that raises serious questions about Tillis’s conduct and financial transparency with regard to:
Verifiable property records linking Tillis family entities to concealed or underreported assets
Multiple examples of $0 property transfers between corporate and family-controlled interests
Omitted financial disclosures in violation of the Ethics in Government Act
Potential misuse of nonprofit resources and commingled addresses with real estate operations
These findings are based on public records filed with the IRS, North Carolina’s Secretary of State, the Mecklenburg County Register of Deeds, and other official, government-controlled property databases. The documents cited here are verifiable and evidence of obfuscation speaks for itself.
Correcting the Initial Claim Unmasked a Bigger Problem at 5508 Enslow Place
The most confounding example in this investigation remains 5508 Enslow Place. Initially, I reported that Senator Tillis personally acquired and sold this property. That claim was incorrect — in 2008, Thom “Rick” Tillis and his wife Terry quitclaimed the property to their family-controlled LLC, TRT Holdings.
Five years later, in 2013, TRT Holdings sold the property to Theresa L. Baker, a woman from Connecticut who had recently relocated to North Carolina. The sale price was $55,000, and the transaction was executed via a warranty deed — suggesting a conventional, arms-length sale on paper.
It was after the sale where the deeply suspicious activity began. Baker died just three years later in 2016, and as of 2025, her name remains on the deed. The mortgage was quietly maintained for seven years after her death and only satisfied in 2023, with no recorded transfer of ownership or probate proceeding — a pattern that raises far more questions than the sale itself. Theresa Baker may not have known much about real estate law or deed classifications. From her point of view, she was buying a modest home for a good price from a real estate company. On paper, the use of a warranty deed suggested a conventional, protected transaction — but the circumstances that followed raise the possibility that she was merely a placeholder in a much broader scheme.
Baker died of cancer in 2016, just three years later. As of 2025, her name is still on the deed. The mortgage, originally taken out in her name, continued to be paid for seven years after her death, and was satisfied only recently — in 2023. No deed has been filed transferring ownership, no probate appears to have been opened, and no heirs have claimed the property.
These facts are not just strange. They point to the deliberate retention of a property in a dead woman’s name, while the home continues to be financially maintained and legally obscured. One possible explanation is that this was a planned placeholder title, allowing the true controllers of the property to remain invisible.
In April 2025, Senator Tillis co-sponsored S. 1334, a bill to raise the asset threshold for taxable Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) subsidiaries. This legislative development sharpens the strategic picture and introduces a new layer of possible intent, opening the door for the Tillis family to roll “parked” assets — like those once held by TRT Holdings — into a REIT structure with preferential tax treatment and reduced disclosure obligations. In that light, Theresa Baker wasn’t just a buyer — she may have been an unwitting participant in a larger scheme to keep assets off Tillis’s disclosure forms and IRS visibility until they could be sanitized, bundled, and monetized.
What Makes This Legally Abnormal?
• Quitclaim deeds are rarely used in arms-length transactions between unrelated parties—yet one was used here.
• Title remained in the deceased buyer’s name for nine years—anomalous under standard probate practice
• A mortgage remained active in her name for seven years after her death and was then quietly satisfied—without any transfer of title.
• The property was originally sold by TRT Holdings, a Tillis family-run LLC, which shared its address with a nonprofit founded by Susan Tillis
• TRT Holdings was dissolved just five weeks before Theresa Baker’s death, raising questions about whether this was done to avoid potential entanglements with her estate.
These factors raise serious red flags. While not direct evidence of criminal conduct, the structure and timing resemble common patterns used to conceal beneficial ownership and circumvent both tax and ethics disclosure requirements.
What I Can Prove — and What I Can’t
TRT Holdings sold the home to Theresa Baker.
Baker died in 2016.
No deed has ever transferred the property out of her name.
The mortgage was paid off in 2023.
The address used by TRT Holdings is the same as the registered address of the Susan M. Tillis Foundation.
TRT Holdings was voluntarily dissolved shortly before Baker’s death.
I cannot prove—yet:
Who occupied or used the house after Baker died.
Who paid the mortgage from 2016 to 2023.
Whether anyone connected to the Tillis family benefited from continued use of the home.
Whether the quitclaim deed structure was used intentionally to avoid liability or prepare the property for reacquisition after Baker’s death.
Each of these unanswered questions signals a highly abnormal transaction
Subpoena power may be necessary to determine the true beneficiaries of the mortgage payments and posthumous occupancy.
Why Bother? The Strategic Value of a Low-Profile Asset
While 5508 Enslow Place is not a luxury property, its treatment within this network suggests it serves a strategic purpose. Low-value homes are ideal for obscured control because they attract less scrutiny from journalists, tax assessors, and regulatory agencies. If this model was used repeatedly—as records suggest TRT Holdings controlled up to 30 properties—it may reflect a scalable scheme involving:
Quiet asset control without title exposure
Use of terminal buyers to temporarily shield true ownership
Potential refinancing or leveraging of appreciated equity posthumously
Maintenance of mortgages for properties that can continue generating use, rent, or long-term title reacquisition via quiet legal means
The extended mortgage payments after Baker’s death suggest a party with a long-game interest in the property. One plausible scenario is that the home was quietly re-controlled and leveraged over time while keeping it off ethics disclosures and tax rolls.
The nonprofit founded by Senator Tillis’s wife, the Susan M. Tillis Foundation, was registered to the exact same luxury residential address—16116 North Point Road—as TRT Holdings, the LLC that executed these questionable real estate transactions. This overlap raises difficult questions:
Why would a nonprofit be registered to a private residence instead of commercial office space?
Why register it to the same address as a real estate LLC engaging in unorthodox transfers and dissolutions?
Was this address functioning as a command center for coordinated personal, political, nonprofit, and business activity?
These are unanswered questions. But they are also red flags. The IRS requires separation of nonprofit and for-profit activity. While sharing an address is not illegal by itself, doing so in the context of opaque real estate deals and family-controlled nonprofits is at minimum a governance issue, and at worst a concealment tactic
Susan Tillis also appears in real estate records as the signatory on at least one deed involving another Tillis-linked property: a trailer park at 11826 Ramah Church Road. This suggests she played a direct role in facilitating real estate transfers between family-controlled entities, and further complicates any assertion that she was uninvolved.
A Curious 90 Days: Dissolution, Death, and a New Foundation
Between August and November 2016, three seemingly unrelated events occurred:
August 17, 2016 – TRT Holdings, LLC was voluntarily dissolved.
September 23, 2016 – Theresa Baker, purchaser of 5508 Enslow Place, died of cancer.
November 7, 2016 – The Susan M. Tillis Foundation was incorporated.
This 90-day period marks a critical pivot point. The entity that sold the property to a terminal buyer is shut down. The buyer dies. Then a federally tax-exempt nonprofit is launched—bearing the name of a sitting senator’s wife and sharing infrastructure with the now-defunct real estate operation.
This sequence doesn’t suggest coincidence. It suggests strategic reorganization
Shut down the entity that carried legal and reputational risk.
Wait out the buyer’s death and preserve the deed in her name.
Launch a nonprofit that can offer cover for real estate-related expenses, activity, or new structuring efforts.
The nonprofit may have been intended to serve as a public-facing shield for a system that was previously private and exposed.
The timing strongly implies that Susan Tillis’s role was not incidental — but integrated into the broader Tillis family real estate framework.
Final Thought: Who Paid the Dead Woman’s Mortgage?
One question looms above all others:
Who was paying Theresa Baker’s mortgage for seven years after she died — and why?
That isn’t a procedural hiccup. That’s a deliberate action. Someone had access to her account or estate, continued to make regular payments on her behalf, and then paid off the loan entirely in 2023. All while keeping the deed frozen in her name.
Was it a relative? A friend? Or someone connected to the original seller — a Tillis-run LLC? I don’t know yet. But whoever it was, they had a powerful reason to keep that house legally invisible for as long as possible.
And that raises perhaps the most pressing question of all:
In revelation caught on hidden camera by O’Keefe Media Group (OMG), American businessman and long-time royal insider John Bryan has come forward with damning claims about Prince Andrew’s personal relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Bryan, a trusted advisor to the Duke of York, also alleged that Prince Andrew lied to him about his involvement in sexual misconduct with minors.
“I knew he [Prince Andrew] saw him [Jeffrey Epstein],” said Bryan, “But he lied to me that he was such a close friend,” revealed Bryan, referring to Prince Andrew’s personal relationship with Epstein.
After Prince Andrew’s 2019 BBC interview, where he denied knowing Virginia Giuffre and famously claimed he was physically incapable of sweating, Bryan says he was quietly brought into “Royal Lodge,” Andrew’s private residence, to provide “crisis” management advice. In a previous interview with the New York Post, Bryan revealed “They [the British Royal Family] brought me in to help him [Andrew].” Bryan told the publication, “Andrew was so distressed, he wasn’t able to focus for more than 40 minutes.”
According to previous reporting by The Daily Mail, Bryan also admitted to crafting a five-page PR strategy titled the “House of Kroy,” advising Andrew to publicly express sympathy for victims of Jeffrey Epstein while maintaining his own innocence. At the time, Bryan publicly supported the Prince, stating, “I believe Prince Andrew is innocent.”
“I did a big thing in The Daily Mail saying that I believed Andrew,” Bryan recounted to our undercover OMG journalist, adding, “And then I found out he was lying. I was so pissed.” When asked what Andrew had lied about, Bryan didn’t mince words: “That he was fucking underage girls. That’s not cool.”
O’Keefe Media Group has reached out to both the Royal Family and John Bryan for comment regarding Bryan’s admissions.

Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo expressed shock Wednesday when Republican Rep. Rick Crawford of Arkansas detailed the findings of a House Intelligence Committee report on the FBI’s investigation of the 2017 attack on Republicans at a practice for the Congressional baseball game.
Then-House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana was shot in the June 2017attack carried out by James Hodgkinson, a supporter of independent Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont’s 2016 presidential campaign. Crawford told Bartiromo that FBI Director Kash Patel “pulled back the curtain” to allow a review of the agency’s probe into the attack, which also wounded a staffer and a police officer.
“How is this allowed?” Bartiromo asked Crawford after reading from the report. “There was no connection to terrorism initially and now we see a completely different narrative in the report.”
“It took us eight years to get that. But for Director Patel committing to us he would have it to us, we would still be waiting,” Crawford told Bartiromo. “Director Patel came in and he has kind of pulled the curtain back and I’ll do what he can he’s been transparent with us as possible and that’s exactly what he did.”
The report criticized the FBI, saying the case file showed that Hodgkinson carried out “a premeditated assassination attempt” against Republican members of Congress and was “seeking to affect” how the United States government conducted itself.
“First off, [the] suicide by cop narrative was on its face wrong because there was no uniformed police officers present when the shooting started,” Crawford said. “So, he was there, and we knew he had a manifesto on his person and he had a list of other Republican members in his pocket and he was engaged in a long-term, a ten-minute firefight. In a firefight, ten minutes is a long time. That was not suicide by cop and any reasonable person would have dismissed that immediately.”
“They stuck with the narrative until 2021. In May of 2021, for whatever reason, there was no new information introduced in the investigation, but they decided in May of 2021 to say, you know, if we had to do it over, maybe we would consider a nexus to domestic terrorism,” Crawford continued. “That’s a problem. The fact that it took them four years to come to the conclusion without any new information is the investigation. So, there was, this investigation is chock-full of questionable conclusions and really, the methods that they used and the political bias that was demonstrated is unconscionable.” (Read more: The Daily Caller, 5/7/2025) (Archive)
A Massachusetts judge will soon face a public hearing over serious misconduct allegations. Judge Shelley Joseph is accused of helping a twice-deported illegal migrant escape her courtroom in 2018.
The hearing, scheduled for June 9, will resemble a courtroom trial. Her legal team will have a chance to present evidence. The Commission on Judicial Conduct will oversee the process.
Joseph allegedly allowed Jose Medina-Perez, a migrant with narcotics charges, to exit through a back door. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were waiting with a detainer at the courthouse.
In 2019, former U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling charged Joseph with obstruction of justice and conspiracy. The case made national headlines.
Joseph later surrendered. In response, federal prosecutors dropped the charges. The matter then moved to the state’s judicial oversight body.
The Commission formally charged her late last year. According to the Boston Herald, Joseph is accused of “willful judicial misconduct” and “failing to comply with the law.” (Read more: World Insight Info, 5/7/2025)(Archive)

UPDATE: 60,000 additional files related to the Robert F. Kennedy of Senator Robert F. Kennedy are now online at http://archives.gov/rfk.
After the initial release of 10,000 documents three weeks ago, we searched FBI and CIA warehouses for any records not previously turned over to The National Archives. More than 60,000 documents were discovered, declassified, and digitized for public viewing. Today’s release is an important step toward maximum transparency, finding the truth, and sharing the truth.
UPDATE: 60,000 additional files related to the assassination of Senator Robert F. Kennedy are now online at https://t.co/bwLAh0CpAg.
As was first uncovered in the initial tranche of 10,000 RFK files, there were rumors circulating across the globe that Senator Kennedy had been shot one month prior to his true assassination date.
Today’s additional investigative materials corroborate that information.
Although some of the files were previously released by the LAPD or to individuals via FOIA requests, this is the FIRST TIME the American people will have the opportunity to review all available documents about the assassination of RFK in one location.
Releasing 60,000+ RFK assassination records proves what we’ve known for decades: D.C. bureaucrats hoard truth like dragons guarding loot. Executive Order 14176 forced the deep state to cough up files they buried for 60 years—files that should’ve been public the day after Bobby…
I am pleased to announce that Judge Jeanine Pirro will be appointed interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. Jeanine was Assistant District Attorney for Westchester County, New York, and then went on to serve as County Judge, and District Attorney, where she was the first woman ever to be elected to those positions. During her time in office, Jeanine was a powerful crusader for victims of crime. Her establishment of the Domestic Violence Bureau in her Prosecutor’s Office was the first in the Nation. She excelled in all ways. In addition to her Legal career, Jeanine previously hosted her own Fox News Show, Justice with Judge Jeanine, for ten years, and is currently Co-Host of The Five, one of the Highest Rated Shows on Television. Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position, and is considered one of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York. She is in a class by herself. Congratulations Jeanine!
One of the true beauties of President Trump is the way he turns seeming defeats into even greater victories.
So soon-to-be-primaried RINO Tillis wants to flex his puny little muscles and feebly try to derail the MAGA agenda?
And instead he gets ultra-MAGA and profoundly gifted jurist Judge Jeanine as the D.C. prosecutor and Ed Martin instead moves to the office that is in charge of gutting the belly of the beast????
Ed Martin’s pivot to leading the Weaponization Working Group is a masterstroke. His track record of gutting corrupt Biden-era prosecutions and dismantling the administrative state’s chokehold on justice proves he’s the right pick to expose D.C.’s rot. The same bureaucrats crying…
Ed Martin’s pivot to leading the Weaponization Working Group is a masterstroke. His track record of gutting corrupt Biden-era prosecutions and dismantling the administrative state’s chokehold on justice proves he’s the right pick to expose D.C.’s rot. The same bureaucrats crying about “norms” are the ones who weaponized DOJ against political enemies for years—Martin’s mandate to audit their misconduct is long overdue.
Tillis’s weak-kneed resistance only highlights why MAGA loyalists like Martin are essential: establishment Republicans would rather preserve the swamp than drain it. This isn’t a defeat—it’s a tactical elevation.
The real work begins: subpoenas, accountability, and ensuring every Biden crony who abused power faces consequences. No more two-tiered system.

Badar Khan Suri’s case is a textbook example of why immigration enforcement can’t play games with national security. DHS alleges he’s linked to a Hamas advisor and spread propaganda—that’s not “academic freedom,” that’s a red flag. ICE exists to remove threats, not debate them.
The media’s sob stories about his detention ignore the real issue: why was someone with these ties allowed to operate here in the first place? Deportation isn’t about his wife’s heritage; it’s about protecting Americans from extremism.
If the courts block this, it’s another win for bureaucracy over safety.

The FBI in Albany has opened a formal criminal investigation examining the real estate and mortgage transactions of New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to law enforcement sources briefed on the matter.
John A. Sarcone III, is appointed by Pam Bondi to be the new U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of New York. He is expected to take office as interim U.S. Attorney March 17 pending confirmation. (Credit: public domain)
It’s unclear why U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi steered the referral to New York’s Northern District; although James is a statewide elected official with offices in Albany, the transactions involve her personal property purchases and loans that were processed in New York City and Virginia. Some of the transactions also may fall outside the federal statute of limitations. However, one of the mortgages involves James’ assertions in loan documents related to her 2023 purchase of a residence in Norfolk, Virginia.
One of the mortgage documents filed in connection with James’ purchase of the single-family residence — a notarized power-of-attorney document — was signed as a witness by Jennifer Levy, who is the first deputy attorney general. A spokesman for James did not immediately respond to a question about why Levy would have been asked to sign a document related to the attorney general’s purchase of a private residence.
That document, which James also signed, stated: “I hereby declare that I intend to occupy this property as my principal residence.”
Under state law, James’ principal residence as a statewide elected official must be in New York.
“This is being handled at this time by main (Department of) Justice and the Albany FBI field office,” said U.S. Attorney John A. Sarcone III, who oversees the U.S. Attorney’s Office in New York’s Northern District. “We stand prepared to act in the capacity that we need to when and if we are informed there’s a charge to be made. Unlike Letitia James, who unethically ran around the state campaigning on getting Donald Trump… my office conducts itself in a manner that is proper and professional.”
(…) The Times Union has reported that the documents of her property transactions, some dating to 1983, have been circulated since last year to various news outlets and elected officials by a man using a fictitious name. He had claimed that he was part of a “group” that had begun delving into James’ property records after a friend had committed suicide while under investigation by the attorney general’s office for mortgage fraud.
(…) The documents apparently made their way to William J. Pulte, director of the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency, who sent a referral letter last month to Bondi alleging that James may have “falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government backed assistance and loans and more favorable loan terms.”
Democrats Exposed: Judges and Mayors Break Federal Law to Shield Violent Illegal Immigrants While Claiming “No One Is Above the Law”.
Democrats chant “no one is above the law” while targeting Trump with politically driven prosecutions, yet their officials defy federal law to protect violent illegal immigrants, favoring MS-13 and Tren de Aragua gang members over citizens. Three cases expose this hypocrisy, alongside New York’s AG’s legal woes.
In Wisconsin, Judge Hannah Dugan blocked ICE agents on April 18, 2025, to help Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, an illegal immigrant charged with domestic abuse, escape arrest. Dugan misled agents and snuck Flores-Ruiz out a jury door, risking officer and victim safety. In New Mexico, ex-Magistrate Judge Joel Cano hid Tren de Aragua gang member Cristhian Ortega-Lopez, giving him firearms and destroying evidence. Both face federal charges, but Democrats call it “political.”
In New Jersey, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka led Democrats in illegally storming an ICE facility to stop deportations of violent criminals. Meanwhile, New York AG Letitia James, embroiled in a mortgage fraud scandal, evades accountability while preaching “justice.” Democrats weaponize the law against Trump but break it to shield gang members, betraying Americans for votes.

Newark Mayor Ras Baraka’s arrest for illegally storming an ICE detention center to free violent criminal illegals is a disgusting display of Democrat priorities. These aren’t dreamers—they’re murderers, rapists, and gang members itching to terrorize our communities. Baraka, a gubernatorial wannabe, thinks he’s above the law, but he’s not alone.
Democrat Congressmen, hiding behind Speech and Debate Clause immunity, joined this lawless stunt to obstruct federal law enforcement. That immunity doesn’t give them a free pass to trespass and sabotage ICE’s mission. Karoline Leavitt added, “President Trump is deporting illegal immigrant criminals… to put Americans first.” Alina Habba will likely slap these Democrats with federal charges—and they deserve it. As they preached in 2024, “nobody is above the law.” Yet, Democrats shield these predators, proving they care more about violent illegals than innocent Americans. Trump’s mass deportation plan is our shield against this betrayal. Lock them up!

I have obtained exclusive ICE officer body cam footage clearly showing Democrat Rep. LaMonica McIver verbally and physically assaulting federal agents in New Jersey after illegally entering an ICE detention facility.
In the video you can see indisputable evidence of Congresswoman McIver (in the red jacket) punch, push and hit a federal agent, refusing to follow the ICE officers orders and impeding in a lawful arrest.
In the body cam footage you can also watch Rep. McIver verbally threaten to “put hands” on the federal agents. “I touch whoever I want mother fu****!” Rep. McIver then threatens to destroy the ICE officers careers, “You will pay!” before descending into a profanity-laced rampage tirade.
All of these actions are flatly illegal under 18 U.S. Code § 111 and carry heavy fines and prison sentences.
A spokesperson for Department of Homeland Security has confirmed to me that “there will be more investigations and arrests.”
“If you assault a law enforcement officer you will answer to the law.”
I have reached out to Speaker Johnson’s Office for an official statement on disciplinary action from the House.

If Congress members assaulted ICE officers, they should face the same legal consequences as any citizen. Law enforcement’s job is tough enough without politicians thinking they’re above the law. DHS releasing bodycam footage would bring transparency—either expose criminal behavior or debunk false claims. Either way, accountability matters.
No one gets a pass for attacking those enforcing our borders. The real issue? Politicians who grandstand on immigration chaos they helped create through decades of weak policies.
Secure the border, enforce the law, and let the facts—not theatrics—decide outcome.

Ed Martin’s nomination as U.S. Attorney for D.C. underscores a critical reset: prioritizing accountability over bureaucracy. The office’s prior focus on politically charged Jan. 6 prosecutions—many of which collapsed under scrutiny—revealed systemic overreach. Martin’s mandate? Restore prosecutorial discretion, dismantle legacy vendettas, and refocus on actual public safety.
D.C. saw a 14% drop in violent crime this year under interim leadership—proof that law and order works. The real scandal isn’t personnel changes; it’s that Biden’s DOJ weaponized the judiciary to target opponents while ignoring rampant urban decay.
Martin’s track record of challenging corrupt systems aligns with the urgent need to purge D.C.’s entrenched legal rot.

Thom Tillis is a disgrace. A weak, unqualified puppet of the NED and the USGLC, with zero military backbone, who sabotaged you not for wrongdoing, but for asking the one question that terrifies the regime:
What if their January 6 narrative is a lie?
That alone was enough to trigger their panic. Because truth is dangerous to institutions built on lies.
We the People are the judges now. Not the bloated, crumbling institutions desperately clinging to their illusion of legitimacy. Not the unelected elites in think tanks, CIA backrooms, or NGO war rooms.
Their post–Cold War “regime change at any cost” doctrine has killed hundreds of thousands, shattered entire nations, and unleashed suffering across the globe… all while pretending it’s about “freedom.”

(…) “There was no limit to the weaponization,” Martin told The New York Post. “So there may be no limit to the targets.”
“It’s a nationwide and frankly, international docket where the government was used against the citizens, where the government was weaponized,” he added.
“Sometimes there’ll be crimes involved, in which case we’ll prosecute. Sometimes there’ll be just the need to make clear this is not how it’s supposed to go.”
While the Senate was busy playing games, Martin was already wielding his authority behind the scenes.
As interim U.S. attorney, he demoted multiple prosecutors involved in the politically charged January 6th cases and began launching fresh inquiries into Russiagate actors.
Mueller’s infamous “pitbull,” Andrew Weissmann; DOJ insider Mary McCord; and disgraced former FBI counterintelligence chief Charles McGonigal—who is now serving a prison sentence for colluding with sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska—were all key players in the Trump-Russia saga.
Just last week, Martin’s office fired off an email to McGonigal’s attorney, asking for an interview with him over “information [that] has come to the attention of my office,” according to a copy of the letter first seen by The Post.
Based on the letter, it is not clear what Martin’s team unearthed about McGonigal, who is now ironically serving out a 78-month sentence for colluding with a Russian oligarch to evade US sanctions and concealing information from the feds about how he received $225,000 from someone linked to the Albanian government.
[…] Perhaps the most high-profile known target Martin pursued is Weissman, who was the top lieutenant of the Mueller probe and is now an MSNBC legal analyst.
In March, Martin raised conflict of interest concerns against Weissman over his role in signing off on a settlement of up to $4.5 billion in a foreign bribery case revolving around Brazilian construction giant Odebrecht while serving as chief of the Criminal Fraud Section of the Justice Department in 2016.
Martin pointed out that Weissman worked for the Jenner & Block law firm before leading the DOJ’s Criminal Fraud Section.
Jenner & Block represented Canadian private equity firm Brookfield Asset Management, which seemingly took advantage of the fallout from the bribery case and purchased a 57% stake from Odebrecht in Peruvian toll road authority Rutas de Lima in 2016.
Lawyer up, Lawfare Democrats.
Justice is coming.
Nobody is above the law.

Tim Tebow reveals to Shawn Ryan a map of 111,000 IPs downloading child porn of kids under 12 in 30 days, and urges Congress to act:
I’m sitting down today with Tim Tebow, a man whose platform spans from football fields to global humanitarian efforts, as he shares his mission to fight human trafficking and rescue the world’s most vulnerable. In this powerful conversation, Tim opens up about the harrowing realities of child sex exploitation, the moment his father’s bold rescue of four trafficked girls changed their lives forever, and the urgent need for legislative action through the Renewed Hope Act. He urges listeners to stand up, speak out, and contact their representatives to help pass this crucial bill, aimed at rescuing and restoring tens of thousands of unidentified and exploited children.

In this powerful conversation, Tim opens up about the harrowing… pic.twitter.com/btmvjJtDPc
TIM TEBOW: Specifically, our heart is to get to as many and leverage anything and everything we can so that they can get out of this evil.
As I mentioned earlier, you think so much is done by all these groups and gangs, and yes, that does take place in a lot of areas. But man, it’s overwhelming when you think how much is done by families, by friends, by those in the trusted circle. Especially when we talk about the fight against child exploitation and child sexual abuse, it’s off the charts what is being done in families.
Do you know what’s—I want to say most disappointing, but maybe one of the most heartbreaking? Do you know the number one offender? Biological fathers. Man, it’s not going to make your day.
I brought a map to share with you. This is the map—every red dot on that. First of all, that is a DOJ law enforcement map; it’s called the Red Dot Map. Every red dot on that map is at least one unique IP address of individuals downloading, sharing, distributing child abuse and rape images under the age of 12. There’s over 111,000 of them just in the U.S. in the last 30 days. Wow. I wanted to bring that because I think it brings to life so much of the evil that we’re trying to face.
People will say, “Well, that’s just over there, and it’s in those countries and all of those places.” And it’s not, Sean. It’s right here in our backyard. It is right here. Out of everyone, some people will say, “Okay, well, they’re just downloading and sharing it and distributing it.” But 55 to 85% are also hands-on offenders, and your average offender has 13 victims in their lifetime—13 victims. Every one of those red dots, there’s a boy or girl that is suffering on the other end of what they’re sharing, downloading, or distributing.
I wanted to share that with you because I know that your heart breaks for them, and I think that map brings to life the evil that we’re trying to fight. It’s why one of our hearts is to get the Renewed Hope Act passed through Congress. It takes the law enforcement officers right now and victim identification officers at C3—they’re amazing, some of my favorite people in the world—but there’s seven of them right now at C3. Seven people. Also, ICAC is working on that; we love ICAC, and we need to enhance their funding because they desperately need it. Internet Crimes Against Children—they’re awesome, 62 locations around the country, but primarily the ones that are also working on this are at C3.
We want to get the Renewed Hope Act passed because it would take it from 7 to 200. Now we have a much greater chance if we have all of those officers that are trained and equipped to be fighting against this evil. Again, that’s the last 30 days, and that’s not getting into livestreaming or extortion or grooming or so many of the other issues we’re fighting. That is just in peer-to-peer networks of them sharing and distributing child rape images under the age of 12.
SHAWN RYAN: 12 and under. 111,423 unique IP addresses.
TIM TEBOW: Some people will say, “Well, that’s just, you know, they’re just downloading it and they’re just sharing it.” No, it’s not just that easy. You have to go in, you have to download it, a peer-to-peer, and then you have to be able to download all of these images, and then you’re sharing them. It’s not like this just happens by accident. It’s not like, “Oh, I just looked at a bad picture,” and it’s not like this is a photo of a baby in a bathtub. No, so many of these are brutal, brutal abuse of children.
When we go back to those 50,000 boys and girls that are unknown in the ICAC database that we were talking about before, out of those 57,000, over 3,000 of them were infants or toddlers. If you say what’s on our heart—man, these are boys and girls that can’t fight for themselves. They can’t defend themselves, and yet so many of us, myself for so long, did nothing to defend or stand up for them. It is our heart that we would rally an army, and maybe we would even declare a national emergency to fight this evil. This is happening in our backyard.
Out of all those that have been rescued or safeguarded from Renewed Hope 1, 2, and 3, more than half of those boys and girls have been right here in the U.S. So, we think it’s over there, it’s over there, it’s over there—no. Yes, it is happening in other places, but it is happening in our country, right here in our neighborhoods, in our backyards, in our families.
Then we get into the fight against livestreaming. Do you know the number one payer of livestream rape of boys and girls around the world? Us. Us—not close. In peer-to-peer sharing, we’re third: China, Russia, America. Man, sorry, I do get fired up about it.
SHAWN RYAN: How are we combating this?
TIM TEBOW: Well, we’re trying to do it in every area and every way possible, whether that’s with partnerships and nonprofits and law enforcement, rallying task forces, legislation, and lobbying—trying to get them to enhance the army, per se, in fighting this. That’s really what the Renewed Hope Act is for, but it’s also getting the Renewed Hope operations more and more. We’re having more and more every day.
It’s also creating awareness, and I hate to use “awareness” because people say it all the time, and I don’t want awareness for awareness’s sake. I want people to be aware so we act to do something. I think we really have to change laws and legislation. I believe there’s a lot of people in Congress and in D.C. that want to change it, but we have to get it done. We have to protect these boys and girls. I know we have to figure out budgets and balances and all these important things, but what does it matter if we figure out a budget but our boys and girls in our backyard are being raped and abused? Let’s make the main thing the main thing. This should be a main thing. This has to be a main thing.
After spending years helping cover up Joe Biden’s obvious mental decline, Russia collusion hoaxer and left-wing propagandist Jake Tapper is now trying to gaslight Americans into believing he had nothing to do with the media-wide scandal.
The CNN host spent Tuesday hawking his upcoming book on X, which promises readers an inside look at the Biden administration’s efforts to hide the Delaware Democrat’s “health issues” — efforts the media were more than happy to participate in. Despite his best attempts to feign innocence on the subject, Tapper was one of the main leftist hacks leading the media campaign to try and convince Americans that the doddering Biden on their television screens was just a figment of their imaginations.
Here are a few examples of Tapper engaging in the cover-up.
After years of media spreading The Big Lie about Biden’s cognitive decline, culminating in the “cheapfake” hoax — Jake Tapper is now incredulous that some Dems now expect you to not believe your own eyes and ears on Biden’s debate performance.
Jake Tapper dismisses Biden’s cognitive decline, telling Lara Trump, “A cognitive decline…I think you were mocking his stutter. I think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody’s cognitive decline.”

Judge Hannah Dugan helped illegal alien, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, escape an ICE arrest outside of her courtroom. (Credit Fox News)
A federal grand jury indicted Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan on May 13 on charges that she tried to assist an undocumented immigrant escape arrest from her courtroom last month, putting her at the center of the growing dispute between President Donald Trump and the judiciary.
The two-page indictment accuses Dugan, 66, of obstructing a U.S. agency and concealing an individual to prevent an arrest. The two charges carry a maximum penalty of six years in prison and a $350,000 fine, but sentences in cases involving nonviolent offenses typically are much shorter.
Dugan is expected to enter a plea at a May 15 hearing. But members of her defense team issued this statement: “As she said after her unnecessary arrest, Judge Dugan asserts her innocence and looks forward to being vindicated in court.”
The indictment came after a string of witnesses entered the federal courthouse throughout the day on May 13 to testify before the grand jury.
Among those making appearances were Alan Freed Jr., Dugan’s court clerk, and Mercedes de la Rosa, who was the attorney for Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, the undocumented immigrant at the center of the case. De la Rosa has withdrawn from his case. (Read more: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 5/13/2025)(Archive)
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was criticized over comments she made accusing President Donald Trump of pay-for-play regarding reports that Qatar is giving the Trump administration a luxury Boeing 747 jet free of charge, to temporarily replace Air Force One.
“No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return,” Clinton wrote in a post on X. “Be serious.”
Clinton’s post comes after “sources familiar with the proposed arrangement” told ABC News that the Trump administration reportedly is in talks “to accept” the luxury jet, which will “initially be transferred to the United States Air Force.”
Prior to Trump leaving office in 2029, ownership of the luxury jet, which has been described as “a flying palace,” will be transferred over to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation:
The plane will initially be transferred to the United States Air Force, which will modify the 13-year-old aircraft to meet the U.S. military specifications required for any aircraft used to transport the president of the United States, multiple sources familiar with the proposed arrangement said.
The plane will then be transferred to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation no later than Jan. 1, 2029, and any costs relating to its transfer will be paid for by the U.S. Air Force, the sources told ABC News.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump previously suggested that the Trump administration is preparing to accept the luxury Boeing jet from Qatar as a “GIFT, FREE OF CHARGE,” adding that the “very public and transparent transaction” bothers Democrats.
As Breitbart Newsreported, in his bookClinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich, Peter Schweizer detailed “explosive revelations about Clinton’s tenure as Sec. of State and the influx of hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign sources into the Clinton Foundation”:
Yet as media outlets across the ideological spectrum have confirmed and verified the book’s explosive revelations about Clinton’s tenure as Sec. of State and the influx of hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign sources into the Clinton Foundation, the nation has learned much it did not know. Subsequent reporting by national news outlets has expanded on the book’s findings using its investigative methodology.
No one gives someone a $400 million dollar jet for free without expecting anything in return. Be serious.
Cry me river @HillaryClinton. Tell that to the mega-donors, including Qatar, who gave hundreds of millions of $$ to the Clinton Foundation. Didn’t seem to bother you then. https://t.co/mDrLKFSq9l
If you listened to Ed Martin naming the people within the lawfare community of DC operatives who are actively working to weaponize the legal system to block and attack reform efforts within the DOJ, then you likely understand the origin of these latest maneuvers.
Outgoing USAO Ed Martin, and current head of the DOJ ‘weaponization working group’ has revealed that Lawfare operators have filed ethics complaints in an effort to challenge his legal license. This is what happens when the U.S. Attorney General, Pam Bondi, doesn’t face down the internal lawfare operation within Main Justice severely enough.
(VIA REUTERS) – The lawyer President Donald Trump tapped to serve as Washington, D.C.’s top prosecutor and then dropped in the face of Senate opposition, said on Wednesday he is facing a professional ethics investigation, according to a letter seen by Reuters.
Interim Washington U.S. Attorney Ed Martin said in the letter sent to his staff on his last day on the job that he is under investigation by the D.C. Office of Disciplinary Counsel. The office is in charge of investigating and bringing misconduct proceedings against attorneys in the district.
Hamilton “Phil” Fox’s Disciplinary Counsel gave document forger, Kevin Clinesmith a pass. (Credit: Facebook/DCBar)
Martin alleged that Hamilton “Phil” Fox, the attorney investigating his conduct, had breached the confidentiality of the investigation by sharing a copy of the complaint with the department’s Civil Division.
“It is an outrage how they treat us and I will continue the fight against the weaponization of our law licenses against us,” Martin wrote in an email. “I am taking on Mr. Fox head on. His conduct is personally insulting and professionally unacceptable.”
Fox declined to comment on Martin’s claims, citing confidentiality rules.
In the email, Martin attached a copy of a May 9 letter he sent to Chief Judge Anna Blackburne-Rigsby of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals asking her to investigate and suspend Fox, and to dismiss the complaint filed against him. Martin’s letter did not specify the nature of the ethics allegations filed against him.
There have been at least five formal ethics complaints filed against Martin that were made public by nonprofit watchdog groups, ethics experts and members of Congress during his brief tenure as interim U.S. attorney.
At least one of those complaints has since been closed, after Fox concluded that Martin did not technically violate disciplinary rules when he filed a motion to dismiss a case against a person charged with taking part in the January 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol whom he had previously represented in private practice.

As the Washington DC U.S. Attorney, Ed Martin was in position to address the known and documented activity of a variety of former DOJ officials. There’s a strong argument to be made that’s the reason why the DOJ’s corrupt allies in congress moved to eliminate the threat Martin represented. However, their collective result didn’t remove him, nor did it change the objective, it just changed Mr Martin’s title.
Washington DC USAO Ed Martin carried the authority of the Attorney General, in the changed dynamic special appointee ADAG Ed Martin now carries the authority of the President of the United States to investigate a weaponized DOJ/FBI apparatus. It became a serendipitous outcome.
In this episode of Tucker Carlson the former Fox News host interviews the head of the newly formed ‘weaponization working group’ Ed Martin. Within the interview Martin outlines the mysterious motives of the FBI handling of the J6 “pipe bomber” case, alleging that basic investigative steps were overlooked. “They didn’t interview some of the people that you would have said, ‘That might be a suspect.’ They hadn’t interviewed him,” he said. Raising concerns about the agency’s competence, he added, “The question becomes, ‘what’s happening here?’ Is it incompetence? It feels worse than incompetence.”
When asked by Carlson whether the DOJ is worse than people believe, Martin went further, declaring, “I think it’s worse than incompetence.” “The only way forward is not to describe what I think of the motives but to expose over and over again what’s happened. If you expose what happened and the truth gets out, then accountability is possible.” Martin then described the issues facing the DOJ as “much, much worse than people think.” WATCH:
A bold legislative proposal, the “Restoring Constitutional Mandate for Congress to Set Rules for the Federal Courts Act,” seeks to rein in what its author warns is an existential crisis – a “judicial coup” targeting President Donald Trump and the American people.
Jonathon Mosely (Credit: public domain)
Drafted by Jonathon Moseley, a 24-year legal veteran and founder of the Patriot Legal Defense Fund, the bill aims to rescind the Rules Enabling Act. The Constitution empowers Congress to set the rules for the Federal courts.
But Congress generously trusted the U.S. Supreme Court with this honor and prestige. The bill includes a rebuke of U.S. Supreme Court Justices who have abused their constitutional role.
On May 12, Chief Justice John Roberts – who never criticizes misconduct by judges, politicized lawfare, or abuses against conservatives – issued his third attack on President Trump.
Roberts has not seemed to grasp that respect is earned, not demanded. But when judges like Roberts criticize only one side of the political world, they lose all credibility.
On May 8, Justice Sonia Sotomayor basically rallied the nation’s lawyers to fight an insurrection against Republican officials, speaking at the American Bar Association.
Moseley argues that judges should never be speaking outside the courthouse to maintain the public trust.
“The judiciary has really turned into fighting a war against Donald Trump and what he stands for, and we cannot allow this to go unanswered,” Moseley told The Gateway Pundit in an exclusive interview.
“Their plan: if they can stop the President, they can stop all of us. We used to be able to trust the Supreme Court to correct abuses, but the Supreme Court has gone woke.”
Moseley adds that the Justices have misunderstood “Supreme” and let that word go to their heads. “Justice Amy Comey Barrett now seems to be getting her legal briefings and scorn for Trump from MSNBC.”
The proposed measure argues that the current system has enabled lower courts to undermine justice. “Congress cannot change the existence of the Supreme Court because it’s in the Constitution,” he said.
But the bill would rescind the Rules Enabling Act (28 U.S.C. §§ 2071–2077), which delegated Congress’s constitutional power to the Supreme Court to establish how lower federal courts operate.
The proposed measure argues that the current system has enabled lower courts to undermine justice, particularly in politically charged cases involving Trump and his supporters.
The bill asserts that trusting the Supreme Court has led to “disappointment and widespread injustice,” including:
Nationwide injunctions by cherry-picked single, biased lower court judges.
“Deadlines… which have become in and of themselves unjust and harmful to many seeking their legal rights in court” such as 14 days to challenge a conviction under Rules 29 and 33.
“Resistance to changes of venue necessary to give the public confidence in the appearance and the reality of an unbiased judge and juries.”
“Illogical, inconsistent, and unconvincing admission of evidence….”
“Whenever there was evidence that a January 6 defendant was innocent, that was not allowed; whenever there was evidence that the defendant was guilty, that was allowed,” Moseley explained. By reforming court rules, the bill seeks to prevent such injustices, ensuring fair trials for all citizens.
Hillary Clinton Slams Trump for Encouraging American Families to Have More Children, Says That’s What Immigrants Are For
“The people who produce the most children in our country are immigrants … One of the reasons why our economy did so much better was … because we had a lot… pic.twitter.com/XQWsZwLC2o
Hillary’s argument that immigration-driven population growth is the solution to economic stagnation is a direct admission of failed leadership. The real issue? Washington’s refusal to address the root causes of declining birth rates—crushing inflation, unaffordable childcare, and stagnant wages caused by decades of reckless spending and open-border policies.
Families shouldn’t need to rely on immigration to prop up the economy; they deserve a government that makes raising children feasible through tax relief, deregulation, and policies that prioritize American workers. The FARM Act, Section 3, already proves we can defend domestic industries without outsourcing labor.
If D.C. spent less on foreign aid and more on slashing costs for housing, healthcare, and education, families wouldn’t be forced into this false choice. Immigration isn’t a substitute for competent governance—it’s a band-aid for systemic rot.

Mike Collins was serving as acting chair of the National Intelligence Council before he was dismissed alongside his deputy, Maria Langan-Riekhof. They each had more than 25 years of intelligence experience. The two were fired because of their opposition to Trump, Gabbard’s office said in an email, without offering examples.
“The director is working alongside President Trump to end the weaponization and politicization of the intelligence community,” the office said. ( Read more: PBS, 5/15/2025)(Archive)
Comey calls for Trump to be killed.
Brennan is livid over Tulsi firing intel assets.
This is a Clarion Call from Jim Comey to terrorists & hostile regimes to kill the President of the United States as he travels in the Middle East.
Any Democrat or Media Outlet who fails to condemn this clear Incitement of Violence is complicit and must be described as such. https://t.co/LxHAlM3Yqy
Comey truly is a POS. While he’ll claim not to know what 8647 means, there’s no doubt that the former disgraced FBI Dir. knows exactly what he’s doing, with a plea to bad actors/terrorists to assassinate the POTUS’ while traveling internationally.

NEW: The Secret Service can force James Comey to be interviewed about his threatening social media post about Trump, according to two Secret Service sources.
If he refuses to comply with their request for what’s known as a protective intelligence interview, the Secret Service case agent can apply for a subpoena through the assistant U.S. attorney and force him to answer their questions.
As an attorney, he will likely refuse to be interviewed without hiring an attorney and having that person present to provide counsel before answering Secret Service agents’ questions.
On the other hand, Comey could agree to demonstrate how open and transparent he is and agree to cooperate and sit down for an interview.

What a coincidence that a week before Comey’s book tour and new release drops, he accidentally created a media frenzy by snapping a picture of a random collection of seashells on the beach.
Axios obtained audio of Joe Biden’s October 2023 interview with special counsel Robert Hur.
“Amid long, uncomfortable pauses, Joe Biden struggled to recall when his son died, when he left office as vice president, what year Donald Trump was elected or why he had classified documents he shouldn’t have had.”
How did Axios get this?
He clearly had severe dementia in 2020.
If Biden had won in 2024, the same media outlets now pretending to expose the truth would still be covering it up.

The scandal is MUCH worse than the Biden WH not releasing the tape. The so-called “independent” Merrick Garland crooked Justice Dept was SUBPOENAED by Congress to release it, he defied that subpoena after jailing Steve Bannon for defying one, then DOJ refused to jail Garland. https://t.co/TLzzdrosZf
Why do Republicans want the audio of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview with President Biden when they already have the official transcript? Because they want to use his stutter, an obstacle he’s worked hard to overcome, against him. That is DESPICABLE.
EXPOSED: Soros, the Deep State & the Shadow Network
Today, I launched a powerful new tool that indexes the National Endowment for Democracy journal… and here’s what it uncovers:
Dozen-plus Open Society Foundation staff, funded by George Soros, are writing in a U.S. government-backed journal.
That journal is part of our taxpayer-funded National Endowment for Democracy, a quasi-government operation tied to foreign “democracy” missions- and Congress sits on its board.
No conspiracy theories. This is hard data.
This proves Soros and our intelligence apparatus are deeply intertwined.

The National Endowment for Democracy’s “democracy promotion” has always been a taxpayer-funded grift masquerading as virtue. For decades, NED shoveled billions into regime-change operations under the guise of “civil society” grants while ignoring the rot at home. The Journal of Democracy isn’t a scholarly endeavor—it’s a laundering machine for narratives that justify foreign meddling and censorship.
When NGOs like the National Democratic Institute (funded by NED, State Department, and USAID) embed operatives like Michael McFaul across governments, it’s not about freedom—it’s about manufacturing consent for endless foreign entanglements. Meanwhile, bridges crumble in Ohio, fentanyl floods our borders, and D.C. lectures us about “democratic values.”
Real accountability means auditing every cent NED spends on Soros-tied NGOs and redirecting those funds to AMERICAN priorities—border security, energy independence, and crushing inflation. The swamp won’t drain itself.

BREAKING NEWS: FBI Director Kash Patel keeps his promise and is shutting down the FBI Hoover Building in Washington DC. He said it is not safe for FBI agents.https://t.co/Y2UlOon2lX
Patterson, pictured with Bill Clinton in the Oval Office, said there was little reverence for his 20 years of military service in the Clinton administration, and even said Hillary ‘attempted to ban military uniforms’ in the White House. (Credit: Facebook)
A former Clinton administration staffer claimed that Hillary Clinton was so detested during her husband’s time in the White House that she was known as a ‘Nazi schoolmarm’ who made aides run in fear.
Buzz Patterson, the former Air Force Aide to Bill Clinton who carried the ‘nuclear football’ wherever the president went, took to X to reveal intimate details of the former First Couple.
He said he primarily lived in the White House and was ‘always in close proximity to both Bill and Hill’, which made him quickly learn that the mood of the day ‘depended solely on the presence or absence of Hillary.’
‘We used to say that when Hillary was gone, it was a frat party. When she was home, it was Schindler’s List,” Patterson wrote in a scathing X post that has received over five million views.
HILLARY CLINTON
As some of you know, I was the Air Force Military Aide for Bill Clinton, lived in the White House, traveled everywhere they traveled, and carried the “nuclear football.” As such, I was always in close proximity to both Bill and Hill.
Patterson served as Clinton’s Senior Military Aide from 1996 to 1998, and his role saw him carry the ‘Presidential Emergency Satchel’ to allow the president to launch a nuclear strike from anywhere in the world.
He said in his X post that the day-to-day work for Clinton varied dramatically based on Hillary’s whims, as he scathingly described her as ‘evil, vindictive, profane’ and ‘a b****.’
‘Among the military who served in the White House and the professional White House staff, the Clinton administration was infamously known for its lack of professionalism and courtesy, though few ever spoke about it,’ he wrote.
‘But when it came to rudeness, it was Hillary Clinton who was the most feared person in the administration. She set the tone.’
Patterson, an outspoken Donald Trump supporter, said he was warned from the get-go that Hillary Clinton was the most daunting figure in the White House, not her president husband.
‘When I first arrived to work in the White House, my predecessor warned me: ‘You can get away with pissing off Bill but if you make her mad, she’ll rip your heart out,” he wrote.
‘I heeded those words. I did make him mad a few times, but I never really pissed her off. I knew the ramifications.’
In a response to an X user asking what he did that ‘pissed off’ Clinton, Patterson said he once didn’t let him go to a restaurant when he was hungry because the Secret Service hadn’t swept it.
He said while these small issues could be brushed over by Bill, Patterson ‘realized there were different rules for Hillary.’
‘She instructed the senior staff, including me, that she didn’t want to be forced to encounter us,’ he said, adding that staff were seen scrambling to avoid her ‘no matter their position in the building.’
‘Many a time, I’d see mature, professional adults, working in the most important building in the world, scurrying into office doorways to escape Hillary’s line of sight,’ he wrote.
‘She was the Nazi schoolmarm and the rest of us were expected to hide as though we were kids in trouble.’
Rep. James Comer believes they’ve identified the staffers involved “in the use of the autopen” when Biden was “clearly in mental decline.”
“It questions who was actually making the decisions…Many of these executive orders, as well as the pardons of Biden’s entire family as a result of our investigation, these were all signed with the autopen. And clearly from that interview, which was many many months prior to the heavy use of the autopen, Joe Biden wasn’t capable of making decisions. He wasn’t coherent.”
Comer says anyone involved in the use of the autopen will be invited for “a transcribed interview,” then they will “receive a subpoena and they will have a full-blown deposition.”
“We want to find out who was actually making the decisions in the White House during the last nine months of the Biden administration when he was clearly in mental decline.”

There has been a lot of discussion about who was running the Biden administration against the backdrop of numerous revelations about his cognitive incapacity while in office. However, one key point keeps being overlooked about the DOJ during his tenure.
Merrick Garland was not selected to be Joe Biden’s Attorney General because the crew in control of the events wanted Merrick Garland as Attorney General. Garland was removed from his position as DC Circuit Court Justice in order to make room for Ketanji Brown-Jackson to take Garland’s place, get Senate confirmed and then await the resignation of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Bryer. {GO DEEP}
As a standalone Supreme Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown-Jackson would have been a radical pick. Judge Brown-Jackson was a known activist in the DC District Court; however, by removing Garland as chief circuit justice and replacing him with KBJ, who needed Senate confirmation as chief circuit justice, she could get through a later Senate confirmation easier and then sit on the Supreme Court for thirty years. Garland was removed to make room for KBJ. It was a strategy.
Garland was a U.S. Attorney General in name only. The actual lead of the DOJ was from Obama’s crew, Deputy AG Lisa Monaco.
WHY?
Barack Obama and Eric Holder (Credit: Olivier Douliery/Getty Images)
Back in 2009 President Obama selected Eric Holder to be Attorney General. AG Holder’s role was to lead the Lawfare ‘fundamental transformation’ we have seen in the 16 years since. In the 2010 midterms, Obama was “shellacked,” that triggered AG Holder to ask the Treasury Department to participate in a “special research project.” {Go Deep}
The IRS was asked for the Schedule-B’s of groups who were registered as “patriot” groups (Tea Party Patriots) and other names associated with the political uprising against Barack Obama and the takeover of federal healthcare, ie Obamacare. The Cincinnati field office of the IRS then sent the DOJ a batch of CD-ROM’s containing the names of the individual donors listed on the IRS 501-c (3)(4) forms. That list was then compiled and used by the federal government to target the donors and supporters. A whistleblower came forward; the IRS controversy swirled in 2012.
On September 25, 2014, the Justice Department said Attorney General Eric Holder would resign as soon as his successor is confirmed. Holder was succeeded by Loretta Lynch on April 27, 2015. Lynch was selected because she was the bridge to Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016. Remember the Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch tarmac meeting? It’s all connected.
[Sidebar – the reporter who broke the story of the Arizona Clinton/Lynch tarmac meeting later died from “suicide.”]
Summary so far: Obama appointed Holder to lead and create the weaponized Lawfare transition within Main Justice. Eric Holder did just that, and also created the DOJ-National Security Division (to use FARA investigations against DC operatives as leverage). Holder then left the DOJ, took the special research project data, and went to work in California. Loretta Lynch was then appointed as the transitional AG between Obama and Hillary Clinton. That was the plan. The DOJ/FBI would protect Clinton’s interests, and that’s exactly what they did in 2015 and 2016.
Eric Holder was then hired by the State of California right after the surprising and unexpected election result of 2016 [LINK]. Eric Holder then began constructing the BETA test for what was to come later. Eric Holder organized the motor-voter rolls in California to auto-register illegal alien voters. The California legislature passed a law permitting illegal aliens to get drivers licenses. Eric Holder’s program linked those drivers licenses automatically to voter registration. Do you remember the 2018 mid-term election in California?
For weeks after 2018 election day in California, the new process of mail-in ballots changed the entire election day outcome. California was the BETA test for the national 2020 mail-in ballot fraud system. It all links back to the California ballot and illegal alien voter registration operation carried out by Eric Holder.
Eric Holder was Obama’s weaponized Attorney General (2009-2015). Loretta Lynch was the Attorney General in place to facilitate the transition to Hillary Clinton (2015-2016). Merrick Garland was Biden’s Attorney General (2021) to pave the way for Ketanji Brown-Jackson to be a U.S. Supreme Court Justice (2022). Lisa Monaco was the person running the day-to-day DOJ operations (2021-2025).
KBJ was put into the planning book back in February 2020, yes, 2020!
It was February 25th, 2020, to be precise, just four days before the South Carolina Democrat primary. South Carolina Representative James Clyburn went backstage at the presidential debate and told Biden, “You’ve had a couple of opportunities to mention naming a Black woman to the Supreme Court,” Clyburn lectured his friend of nearly half a century, like a schoolteacher scolding a child. “I’m telling you, don’t you leave the stage tonight without making it known that you will do that.” {link}
Unbeknownst to Biden at the time, just two days earlier Barack Obama and James Clyburn came to an agreement and created the most consequential alliance of the 2020 Democrat campaign. Barack Obama the figurative and ideological leader of the movement known as “Black Lives Matter”, and James Clyburn the figurative and ideological leader of the political construct within the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) church, had struck a deal.
Obama and Clyburn really had no choice but to come to an agreement and form the alliance. If they did not act fast, Bernie Sanders was gaining momentum, and they could not have Sanders at the top of the 2020 ticket, because he was too outside the club system which was now almost exclusively focused on racial identity as a tool for political power.
A Bernie Sanders -vs- Donald Trump general election would have been a disaster; and it would be almost impossible for the racial operatives in the key precincts [Atlanta (GA), Philly (PA), Clark County (NV), Wayne County (Mich), Madison (WI)] to feel inspired enough to risk themselves and commit fraud to help Bernie win.
To get rid of Sanders, BLM and AME aligned. This was the actual moment when Hillary Clinton was cast into the pit of irrelevance in Democrat politics.
Within the agreement, Obama and Clyburn selected Biden as the tool they could easily control to deliver on their larger, progressive, leftist intentions.
A few days later, James Clyburn then endorsed Biden while Barack Obama began making phone calls telling each of the other candidates to drop out in sequence and support Biden or else the club would destroy them. The only one told not to drop out yet was Elizabeth Warren, as she would be needed as the insurance policy, the splitter against Bernie Sanders.
Each of the candidates was promised the traditional indulgences for toeing the party line, and the rest is history. Joe Biden wandered around doing what everyone told him to do, which was mostly stay in his basement and let the club work on his behalf, until the club delivered the nomination.
Inside that process, the strategic map was modified to ensure Ketanji Brown-Jackson would advance to the Supreme Court.
With Biden installed, he would select Merrick Garland as his Attorney General. Judge Garland was an important judge on the important DC Circuit Court. Garland’s replacement would need to be a Senate confirmed seat for that Circuit Court assignment. Brown-Jackson would be put into Garland’s open spot, and the Senate could not deny her the SCOTUS confirmation, having just confirmed her months before. {Go Deep}
It was always the team around -and including- Barack Obama operating in the background of Biden.
At first blush the question seems curious, but when you further think about it the question becomes rather important. If Joe Biden was not cognitively aware of what was happening around the office of the president, then who exactly was controlling the use of his signature via the auto-pen?
In a functioning democracy with a purposefully curious media, the fourth estate would be demanding a congressional investigation to get the answers and context for who was really carrying out the agenda of the Biden administration. Unfortunately, as a nation we lost that ‘fourth estate’ a long time ago, and congress is of no help. President Trump:
…”Whoever had control of the “AUTOPEN” is looking to be a bigger and bigger scandal by the moment. It is a major part of the real crime, THAT THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2020 WAS RIGGED AND STOLEN! Millions and millions of people knew that, but the Radical Left Democrats waged a campaign of inoculation and innocence like none that had ever been waged before. THIS IS WHY THE UNSELECT COMMITTEE OF POLITICAL THUGS, WHO WERE GIVEN A FULL AND COMPLETE PARDON BY THE PERSON WHO WIELDED THE NOW ILLEGALLY USED AUTOPEN, DELETED AND DESTROYED ALL EVIDENCE AND INFORMATION FROM THEIR CORRUPT AND VICIOUS WITCH HUNT AGAINST ME, AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE, WHOSE LIVES WERE COMPLETELY SHATTERED AND DESTROYED BY THIS HISTORICALLY CRIMINAL EVENT. Remember, it all began with DIRTY COP James Comey, Obama, a hapless and cognitively impaired Sleepy Joe Biden, and my now very famous ACCUSATION that,“THEY SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN!” Whoever had control of the Autopen is just the beginning. The biggest crime of all is that THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS RIGGED! I (MAGA!) WON THE ELECTION BY MILLIONS OF VOTES, AND EVERYONE KNOWS IT. GOD BLESS AMERICA, FOR THE FIGHT HAS JUST BEGUN!!!” (source)
Trump posted a video titled, “The Video Hillary Clinton Does Not Want You to See” that documented just some of the mysterious ‘suicides’ linked to the Clinton Crime family.
The video touched on the deaths of John F. Kennedy Jr., DNC staffer Seth Rich, Clinton White House Counsel Vince Foster, Clinton White House intern Mary Mahoney, and others connected to the Clintons.
In July 1999, Hillary Clinton’s senate rival and front-runner for NY senate seat John F. Kennedy Jr. died in a plane crash.
Mary Mahoney was a Clinton White House intern who could have been a star witness at the Clinton impeachment trials. She was executed at a DC Starbucks in July 1997.
In July 1993, White House Counsel Vince Foster was found dead of an apparent ‘suicide’ in Fort Marcy Park off the George Washington Parkway in Virginia.
In 1998, James McDougal, a key witness for White House prosecutors and financial partners with Bill and Hillary Clinton that led to the Whitewater scandal, died of cardiac arrest at the Federal Correctional Facility in Fort Worth, Texas, just before he was supposed to testify.
In 2015, Clinton White House Executive Chef Walter Scheib died of an ‘accidental drowning’ after he went on a hike on a trail in Taos, New Mexico. Scheib’s body was found submerged “in a mountain drainage flowing with surface runoff.”
In July 2016, DNC staffer Seth Rich was shot and killed in DC while he was walking home from a bar. It is believed that Seth Rich was the source of the Hillary Clinton/ DNC leaked emails published by Wikileaks. The Clinton/DNC emails published by Wikileaks greatly damaged Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign.
In August 2016, Shawn Lucas, a Bernie Sanders supporter who sued the DNC for rigging the primary in favor of Hillary Clinton was found dead in his home.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) admitted that the Democrat Party is a “threat to democracy,” as some argue they have not had a fair primary election since 2008, conceding this point during an appearance on Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant with Akaash Singh.
Schulz, a podcaster, actor, and comedian who identified himself as a “lifelong Democrat,” explained how disappointed he was with Sanders’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. He also pointed to the greater picture of Democrat voters feeling as though they truly have not gotten a say in who their nominee would be over the last several election cycles, as many wanted Sanders, who was viewed as an agent of radical change. However, the Democrat Party seemed to step in and quash his changes.
“We felt that over the last four elections, Democrats, we felt that we didn’t have a say on who could be president,” Schulz said. “We talk a lot about the Republicans being autocrats and oligarchs and taking over democracy, but from the Democrat perspective, and as I’m a lifelong Democrat, I felt like the Democratic Party completely removed the democratic process from its constituents.”
He called for accountability, recalling how he felt in 2016.
“I wanted you to, like, 2016 I was like, this is going to happen. This guy’s going to do it. And it felt like they, it felt like they stole it from you. And I’ll be honest, it broke my heart when you, when you supported them,” he said.
“Look, but you have, in the world that I live in, you got a choice,” Sanders responded. “And I mean, a lot of people, including my wife, agree with you, but you know, you’re down to a choice. Is it going to be Hillary Clinton or is it going to be Donald Trump? Not a great choice.”
Schulz pointed out that it ended up being Trump anyway, so “why don’t we burn it down?”
Sanders said “burning it down” means “children are not going to have, you know, food to eat, that the schools will deteriorate. People will not have health care.”
“And I, you know, I’m an elected official. I got to represent the people. I can’t turn my back on–” the senator said before Singh interjected.
“But then could not, could we not also say if, ostensibly, there hasn’t been a fair primary for the Democrats since 2008, are they not also a threat to democracy?” he asked.
Sanders had no choice but to agree.
“Fair enough,” Sanders said. “That is, that is — yeah. I’m not going to argue with that.”

Last week, Judge James Ho responded to Roberts in his rebuke of SCOTUS’ involvement in a Texas Alien Enemies Act lawsuit.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer said Tuesday he wants to get to the bottom of who was really in charge when Joe Biden was president.
After President Trump raised questions during the afternoon about Biden’s alleged use of an autopen to sign executive orders, Comer asked “[W]ho would put the document in there? Who gave that staffer the authority? Was it Joe Biden or was it another staffer? We don’t believe Joe Biden knew what was going on.”
Even though the media-at-large tried to dismiss claims of any cognitive decline on Biden’s part, they seem to be coming to the conclusion that Biden’s White House engaged in a cover-up.
“This investigation now has momentum — from all places, the left-wing media,” Comer told Newsmax. “And we’re going to try to get to the bottom of this, because this is the biggest scandal in American history. Not only do you have a president whose family was on the take from our adversaries around the world, you also have a situation where some of those family members were possibly, and I would go even further and say, probably running the country.”
The House Oversight Committee is planning to subpoena Biden staff members that were operating the autopen.
“We don’t believe that autopen was authorized by Joe Biden,” Comer said. “We don’t believe that using the autopen makes these executive orders and even these pardons legal. We’re going to do this investigation. Hopefully it will benefit Trump in court as he tries to do what the American people want done. And that’s drain the swamp.” (Read more: Townhall, 5/21/2025)(Archive)
Biden insisted he didn’t sign executive order just weeks after doing so, Speaker Johnson reveals | Matthew Sedacca, New York Post
President Biden had no clue whether or not he signed a critical executive order during a conversation last year with Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, who admitted he left the meeting fearing the nation is in “serious trouble.”
An addled Biden insisted to the Louisiana lawmaker that he never issued the order to freeze new liquid natural gas export permits — even though he signed off on it less than a month earlier.
Johnson told the Free Press’ Bari Weiss he didn’t believe Biden was lying, but was left to believe the then-81-year-old leader “genuinely didn’t know what he had signed.”
The troubling encounter happened in the Oval Office in early 2024, when the two met to discuss the latest aid package for Ukraine.
Afterwards, Johnson asked Biden why he had inked an executive order pausing new permits for American liquid natural gas export to European allies — a crucial issue for his constituents in the Bayou State, which in 2023, handled 61% of the nation’s LNG exports, according to the US Energy Information Administration.
“Why would you do that? Cause you understand we just talked about Ukraine, you understand you are fueling Vladimir Putin’s war machine, because they gotta get their gas from him,” Johnson said he told Biden.
Biden was stunned, Johnson said.
“I didn’t do that,” the president said, according to Johnson.
“Sir, you paused it, I know. I have the export terminals in my state. I talked to those people in my state, I’ve talked to those people this morning, this is doing massive damage to our economy, national security,” Johnson said he told the commander-in-chief.
Biden continued to deny that he froze the exports — and then remembered he signed the executive order, which he said was simply to study the effects of the fuel.
“I walked out of that meeting with fear and loathing because I thought, ‘We are in serious trouble—who is running the country?’” Johnson said.
“Like, I don’t know who put the paper in front of him, but he didn’t know,” he said.

Senator Ron Johnson opened the hearing with a bombshell: the Biden administration KNEW about deadly heart risks tied to the COVID shots, and deliberately kept it from the public.
Johnson released newly subpoenaed records exposing a detailed timeline of what officials knew and when. While Pfizer and Moderna received insider updates, doctors and citizens who raised concerns were silenced.
In February 2021, Israeli health officials warned the CDC of “large reports of myocarditis, particularly in young people” following Pfizer injections, just two and a half months after the vaccine received emergency use authorization.
By April, the CDC was already reviewing myocarditis data from Israel and the Department of Defense. But instead of alerting the public, they stayed quiet.
By the end of that month, VAERS had recorded 2,926 deaths, nearly half of which occurred within three days of injection. “Somebody ought to be looking at it,” Johnson said.
In May, the CDC considered issuing a formal health alert—but scrapped it. They replaced it with watered-down guidance that removed a key warning for doctors to restrict physical activity in myocarditis patients.
Francis Collins, then director of the NIH, brushed it all off. “Senator, people die,” he told Johnson.
In just six months, the toll was staggering: 384,270 reports of adverse events, 4,812 deaths, and 1,736 of those occurred within just 48 hours of injection.

Dr. Peter McCullough then took the floor and dismantled the narrative surrounding vaccine-induced myocarditis.
Before COVID, McCullough had seen just two cases in his entire career. After the rollout, everything changed.
He says he’s now “examined thousands of patients with this problem.”
“There’s 1,065 papers in the peer-reviewed literature on COVID vaccine myocarditis,” he explained, pointing to a 2021 case published in the New England Journal of Medicine. A 42-year-old man developed vaccine-induced myocarditis. “The infection is ruled out,” McCullough said. “It’s the vaccine.” Three days after his Moderna shot, the man was dead.
McCullough cited a shocking case from Korea—a young man who died within eight hours of hospitalization after a Pfizer shot. His heart had been, in McCullough’s words, “fried with inflammation.”
Then came a case from Connecticut: two teenage boys, 16 and 17, died in their sleep just days after Pfizer. Their parents found them unresponsive.
“These cases… should have gotten everyone’s attention,” McCullough said. “We should never have someone die after taking a vaccine that’s directly caused to the vaccine.”
Dr. Peter McCullough then took the floor and dismantled the narrative surrounding vaccine-induced myocarditis.
Before COVID, McCullough had seen just two cases in his entire career. After the rollout, everything changed.
Alabama-based physician Dr. Jordan Vaughn followed up with a chilling estimate—up to 15 million Americans may be suffering from long COVID or COVID vaccine injuries.
He now treats teenagers who can’t stand up and previously healthy adults who are suffering strokes with no clear cause.
According to Vaughn, the spike protein’s S1 subunit is far from harmless. “It triggers inflammation, it disrupts endothelial barriers, it induces fibrin resistant to breakdown, and it promotes a lot of amyloid aggregates,” he said.
These effects impair oxygen delivery, damage blood vessels, and trigger a wave of symptoms—racing heart, brain fog, shortness of breath, and post-exertional crashes.
In his clinic, Vaughn uses immunofluorescent microscopy to detect the spike protein’s damage, showing up in patients who were once thriving.
He warned that the mRNA injections led to uncontrolled spike protein production, which spread throughout the body, reaching the heart, brain, ovaries, and testes.

Regulators claimed the vaccine stayed in the arm. That was a lie. A Yale study now shows some people are still producing spike protein more than 700 days after their last injection.
OB-GYN Dr. James Thorp delivered one of the most haunting moments of the hearing.
He said the COVID shots “MIRRORED” the effects of chemical abortion drugs—and the government knew what it was doing.
Dr. Thorp pointed to the now-infamous Shimabukuro study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, which claimed a 12.6% miscarriage rate following COVID vaccination.
But when you isolate the data for women vaccinated in the first trimester, the miscarriage rate rises to 82%, Dr. Thorp said. This 82% claim remains a topic of debate within the scientific community.
If true, “This figure mirrors the effects of chemical abort drugs,” Dr. Thorp lamented.

Attorney Aaron Siri (@AaronSiriSG) then delivered a little-known history lesson on vaccine liability.
“For every product on the market, you can SUE the manufacturer for harm,” Siri said. “There’s only ONE product in America you CANNOT sue the manufacturer to claim it could have been made safer—and that’s VACCINES.”
He explained how the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act gave pharmaceutical companies sweeping immunity, not just for three vaccines, but for every new childhood shot added to the CDC schedule.
The result? A schedule that exploded from 3 shots to 29 in the first year of life, with zero accountability.
“They don’t have the financial incentive to make them safer,” Siri said. “In fact, they have the disincentive.”

Sen. Ron Johnson delivered another crushing blow to the “safe and effective” narrative—this time with a devastating chart that exposed that lie.
The chart showed that one of the biggest spikes in COVID cases and deaths occurred AFTER the vaccine rollout began in December 2020.
By mid-2021, over half the U.S. was “fully vaccinated.” But instead of improving, the numbers got worse.
If the vaccine had worked, cases and deaths would have dropped. They didn’t—and this chart makes that impossible to ignore.

Sensing the narrative was slipping, Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut) scrambled to defend public health officials.
He became visibly agitated at the suggestion that vaccine risks had been covered up.
“I may be sounding a little bit like a lawyer, not a physician, but purposeful concealment, intentional hiding, is essentially undocumented by the evidence released by this report itself,” Blumenthal said.
He brushed off the myocarditis concerns as “rare” and insisted that officials like Rochelle Walensky took “multiple steps” to warn the public.
So his message quietly shifted from “safe and effective” to “We did our best with what we knew at the time,” a clear sign that the vaccine narrative is running out of ground to stand on.

Dr.@P_McCulloughMD closed the hearing with a final truth bomb.
“You’ve asked for us to cite evidence,” Dr. McCullough began.
He pointed to three papers by Nathaniel Mead, a former National Institutes of Health writer sitting in the audience. Together, they contain nearly 1,000 references—and they all reach the same conclusion:
“The risks of COVID-19 vaccination far outweigh any theoretical benefits.”
Dr. McCullough then dismantled the narrative pushed by Gov. Josh Green and Sen. Richard Blumenthal, calling their claims that the vaccines saved lives and reduced the severity of disease as nothing more than “wishful thinking.”
“I don’t want America to be fooled by this hearing today thinking that the vaccines saved lives—because they didn’t,” Dr. McCullough said.

BOMBSHELL: Joe Rogan just revealed a new study estimating the COVID-19 mRNA shots have killed more Americans than WWI, WWII, and Vietnam combined.
He dropped the numbers during his conversation with Aaron Rodgers:
Rogan: “I just sent Jamie this study. VAERS adjusted data, and other derived from the MIT, Florida Department of Health study findings that yield a conservative range of 470,000 to 600,000 American deaths from the Covid-19 mRNA shots.”
Rodgers: “That’s it?”
Rogan: “Well, just that alone. That’s a lot of people, man.”
Then came the jaw-dropper:
“More than World War I, World War II and Vietnam combined.”
And it gets worse:
“This is Pfizer alone, so this is not even Moderna.”
“Pfizer alone likely killed over 470,000 Americans.”
“They found a 36% increase in all cause mortality among Pfizer recipients versus Moderna.”
Rodgers closed it out with pure sarcasm:
“Yeah, but they saved MILLIONS!”

The relatively tiny elite class ensconced in Washington, D.C. — they who manufacture and service the publicly-subsidized, permanent war economy — were surely none too pleased with Trump’s truly radical, for reasons explore here, recent speech delivered to the Saudi dignitaries assembled to receive his foreign policy prescriptions during a state visit.
In 1991, sitting U.S. president — at the time, a “retired” CIA boss — George Bush declared a New World Order, a peculiar rhetorical machination by which he meant a multinational neoliberal technocracy that would ultimately subvert all national sovereignty and roll the nation-states of the world into a single dystopian administrative state.
“What is at stake is more than one small country. It is a big idea — a New World Order, where diverse nations are drawn together in common cause, to achieve the universal aspirations of mankind.”
-George Bush, 1991
Elsewhere, he promised in vague terms that the enforcement arm of this new globalist project would be United Nations “peacekeeping” forces — national sovereignty or national interest be damned.
“When we are successful, and we will be, we have a real chance at this New World Order, an order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the UN’s founders.”
Contrarily, three decades later, delivering a speech that would have been hard to imagine any president in modern history delivering on account of its unorthodox omission of references to “human rights” or whatever other liberal rhetoric seemingly accompanies every presidential speech in recent memory, Trump went out of his way to denounce the “interventionists” (a polite term for warmongers/neocons), the “nation-builders,” and the “nonprofits” that have done so much to wreck and destabilize the world while draining the U.S. treasury to the tune of trillions of dollars.
“Before our eyes a new generation of leaders is transcending the ancient conflicts of tired divisions of the past and forging a future where the Middle East is defined by commerce, not chaos; where it exports technology, not terrorism; and where people of different nations, religions, and creeds are building cities together, not bombing each other out of existence…
This great transformation has not come from Western interventionists … giving you lectures on how to live or how to govern your own affairs. No, the gleaming marvels of Riyadh and Abu Dhabi were not created by the so-called ‘nation-builders,’ ‘neo-cons,’ or ‘liberal non-profits,’ like those who spent trillions failing to develop Kabul and Baghdad, so many other cities. Instead, the birth of a modern Middle East has been brought about by the people of the region themselves … developing your own sovereign countries, pursuing your own unique visions, and charting your own destinies…
In the end, the so-called ‘nation-builders’ wrecked far more nations than they built — and the interventionists were intervening in complex societies that they did not even understand themselves.”
Case in point: Hillary Clinton’s neoliberal jihad in Libya that deposed a relatively secular dictator and turned the country into a failed state with open-air slave markets.
The Trump Saudi speech might summarized succinctly in one sentence: You can’t deliver democracy with artillery shells — and, even if it were possible, doing so is not in America’s interests, or anyone else’s save for a handful of psychopaths in Washington D.C.
Somewhere in a Wyoming mansion, Dick Cheney’s artificial heart skipped a beat when he saw his lifelong ideology tossed in the historical trash can by the man who singlehandedly ended his nepo-daughter’s political career.
But he should probably just be happy he’s not rotting in the Hague for the remainder of his miserable existence before he departs the vail and passes on to hell, back to his Father.
Speaking of rotting, somewhere in the 9th Circle, Madeleine Albright is equally apoplectic that the official policy of the U.S. government she so dutifully served is no longer to starve children with pointless and obscene sanctions regime for obscure geopolitical purposes, only to turn the very country targeted for regime change over to ISIS two decades later.

A former Harvard Medical School morgue manager recently entered a plea in relation to an alleged scheme to steal and sell donated body parts.
Cedric Lodge, 57, of Goffstown, New Hampshire, pleaded guilty to interstate transport of stolen human remains on Wednesday before Chief U.S. District Judge Matthew W. Brann, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
The maximum penalty under federal law is 10 years in prison, a term of supervised release following imprisonment and a fine.
A sentence following a finding of guilt is imposed by the judge after “consideration of the applicable federal sentencing statutes and the federal sentencing guidelines,” according to the release.
Officials said Lodge admitted that from 2018 through at least March 2020 he participated in the sale and interstate transport of human remains stolen from the Harvard Medical School morgue in Massachusetts.
Lodge, then-manager of the Harvard Medical School morgue, removed human remains, including organs, brains, skin, hands, faces, dissected heads and other parts from donated cadavers after they had been used for research and teaching purposes, but before they could be disposed of according to the anatomical gift donation agreement between the donor and the school, according to the release.
He took the remains to his home in New Hampshire without the permission or knowledge of his employer, the donors or donors’ families.
After he and his wife sold the remains, they would ship the remains to the buyers in other states or the buyer would take possession directly and transport the remains themselves, according to the release. (Read more: Fox News, 5/22/2025) (Archive)

The man accused of shooting a couple from the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC this week reportedly posted praise for Luigi Mangione and wrote “death to America,” as well as “I voted for Hamas” on social media. He has been charged with first-degree murder in the case.
Elias Rodriguez (Credit: public domain)
A criminal complaint states that Elias Rodriguez, 30, has been charged with murder of foreign officials, causing the death of a person through the use of a firearm, discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, as well as two counts of first-degree murder.
According to the New York Post, federal authorities are working to connect a social media account reportedly linked to Rodriguez, law enforcement sources told the outlet. Rodriuez, a socialist activist and yelled “Free, free Palestine” as police were taking him into custody, was arrested for the killing of Yaron Lischinsky as well as his girlfriend Sarah Lynn Milgrim. The couple was set to get engaged next week.
Posts from the X account have praised Luigi Mangione as the killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, as well as other political violence. The social media account, with the handle of @kyotoleather, posted at the beginning of 2024, “Happy New Year. Death To Israel.”
One post claimed that “80% of the country applauds the targeted annihilation of a healthcare insurance exec,” apparently arguing to support Mangione’s actions. When Trump won in November, the account posted to X, “Don’t blame me, I voted for Hamas.”
Another post from December 2024 stated, “Violence does not have to happen, but if it does, then it should.” In another post, the account wrote, “De@th 2 Amerikkka.” (Read more: The Post Millennial, 5/22/2025)(Archive)
I’ve obtained the alleged manifesto written by Elias Rodriguez, suspect in the killing of two Israeli Embassy staffers in Washington, DC on Wednesday.
I believe the document to be authentic for several reasons, including the fact that it is signed by Rodriguez and timestamped well before he was named by law enforcement or any media. I am publishing it here not to glorify the violence — which I find abhorrent and condemn — but so the public can better understand the truth of what happened.
Refusing to confront the content of these texts often creates an information vacuum that is quickly filled by hoax documents, conspiracy theories, or selective leaks from authorities that can distort the facts. I believe that sunlight is the best disinfectant, especially when politics is involved, as the document makes clear is the case here.
Metropolitan Police Chief Pamela A. Smith identified Rodriguez as a 30-year-old man from Chicago who she said shouted “Free, free Palestine!” at the scene. The manifesto echoes this message, citing the war in Gaza as its central grievance and framing the killings as an act of political protest.
Below is the document in full.
Explication
May 20, 2025
Halintar is a word that means something like thunder or lightning. In the wake of an act people look for a text to fix its meaning, so here’s an attempt. The atrocities committed by Israelis against Palestine defy description and defy quantification. Instead of reading descriptions mostly we watch them unfold on video, sometimes live. After a few months of rapidly mounting death tolls Israel had obliterated the capacity to even continue counting the dead, which has served its genocide well. At time of writing the Gaza health ministry records 53,000 killed by traumatic force, at least ten thousand lie under rubble, and who knows how many thousands more dead of preventable disease, hunger, with tens of thousands now at risk of imminent famine due to Israeli blockade, all enabled by Western and Arab government complicity. The Gaza information office includes the ten thousand under the rubble with the dead in their own count. In news reports there have been those “ten thousand” under the rubble for months now, despite the continual making of more rubble and repeated bombing of rubble again and again and the bombing of tents amid the rubble. Like the Yemen death toll which had been frozen at some few thousand for years under Saudi-UK-US bombardment before being belatedly revealed to stand at 500k dead, all of these figures are almost surely a criminal undercount. I have no trouble believing the estimates that put the toll at 100,000 or more. More have been murdered since March of this year than in “Protective Edge” and “Cast Lead” put together. What more at this point can one say about the proportion of mangled and burned and exploded human beings whom were children. We who let this happen will never deserve the Palestinians’ forgiveness. They’ve let us know as much.
An armed action is not necessarily a military action. It usually is not. Usually it is theater and spectacle, a quality it shares with many unarmed actions. Nonviolent protest in the opening weeks of the genocide seemed to signal some sort of turning point. Never before had so many tens of thousands joined the Palestinians in the streets across the West. Never before had so many American politicians been forced to concede that, rhetorically at least, the Palestinians were human beings, too. But thus far the rhetoric has not amounted to much. The Israelis themselves boast about their own shock at the free hand the Americans have given them to exterminate the Palestinians. Public opinion has shifted against the genocidal apartheid state, and the American government has simply shrugged, they’ll do without public opinion then, criminalize it where they can, suffocate it with bland reassurances that they’re doing all they can to restrain Israel where it cannot criminalize protest outright. Aaron Bushnell and others sacrificed themselves in the hopes of stopping the massacre and the state works to make us feel their sacrifice was made in vain, that there is no hope in escalating for Gaza and no point in bringing the war home. We can’t let them succeed. Their sacrifices were not made in vain.
The impunity that representatives of our government feel at abetting this slaughter should be revealed as an illusion, then. The impunity we see is the worst for those of us in immediate proximity to the genocidaires. A surgeon who treated victims of the Mayan genocide by the Guatemalan state recounts an instance in which he was operating on a patient who’d been critically injured during a massacre when, suddenly, armed gunmen entered the room and shot the patient to death on his operating table, laughing as they killed him. The physician said the worst part was seeing the killers, well known to him, openly swagger down local streets in the years after.
Elsewhere a man of conscience once attempted to throw Robert McNamara off a Martha’s Vineyard-bound ferry into the sea, incensed at the same impunity and arrogance he saw in that butcher of Vietnam as he sat in the ferry’s lounge laughing with friends. The man took issue with McNamara’s “very posture, telling you, ‘My history is fine, and I can be slumped over a bar like this with my good friend Ralph here and you’ll have to lump it.'” The man did not succeed in heaving McNamara off a catwalk into the water, the former secretary of state managed to cling to the railing and clamber back to his feet, but the assailant explicated the value of the attempt by saying “Well, I got him outside, just the two of us, and suddenly his history wasn’t so fine, was it?”
A word about the morality of armed demonstration. Those of us against the genocide take satisfaction in arguing that the perpetrators and abettors have forfeited their humanity. I sympathize with this viewpoint and understand its value in soothing the psyche which cannot bear to accept the atrocities it witnesses, even mediated through the screen. But inhumanity has long since shown itself to be shockingly common, mundane, prosaically human. A perpetrator may then be a loving parent, a filial child, a generous and charitable friend, an amiable stranger, capable of moral strength at times when it suits him and sometimes even when it does not, and yet be a monster all the same. Humanity doesn’t exempt one from accountability. The action would have been morally justified taken 11 years ago during Protective Edge, around the time I personally became acutely aware of our brutal conduct in Palestine. But I think to most Americans such an action would have been illegible, would seem insane. I am glad that today at least there are many Americans for which the action will be highly legible and, in some funny way, the only sane thing to do.
I love you Mom, Dad, baby sis, the rest of my familia, including you, O*****

DOJ Pardon Attorney Ed Martin discussed Biden’s growing autopen scandal this week with journalist Mark Halperin on the “2WAY Tonight” podcast.
Last Tuesday Ed Martin said that the Justice Department is reviewing Joe Biden’s last-minute pardons since it has become increasingly clear he was incapacitated during his presidency.
Ed Martin this Tuesday revealed he wrote to the Biden family and others and a senior Democrat whistleblower came forward with shocking allegations.
A couple of people “lawyered up” Ed Martin said.
“The Biden pardons are unprecedented,” he added.
“I had a whistleblower in my office 10 day ago, senior, senior Democrat saying, ‘Look, it was these three people that controlled access, and they were making money off of it,’” Ed Martin told Mark Halperin. “I don’t know if I believe it yet, but the point is I think we have to get to the bottom of it for the American people and to protect the process. And that’s what we’re doing.”
Although Ed Martin couldn’t name names, he said the senior Democrat whistleblower worked as a high level advisor in Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign.

Former State Department official Mike Benz accused Harvard University on Thursday of acting as a central hub for anti-Trump activity, saying the school’s network of academic departments and think tanks has been “weaponized” against President Donald Trump.
The Department of Homeland Security revoked Harvard’s ability to host foreign students, citing a “toxic campus climate” and violations related to antisemitism and foreign funding disclosures. During an appearance on “The War Room,” Benz discussed Harvard’s widespread backchanneling with powerful institutions like the State Department, the Defense Department, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and various multinational corporations and NGOs.
“Virtually every center, institute and department at Harvard is weaponized against the Trump administration at every level. Through their backchanneling with intelligence, through the backchanneling with the State Department, through their backchanneling with the defense sector, through their backchanneling with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, multinational corporations, through their backchanneling with the NGOs,” Benz said.
Benz specifically named the Harvard Belfer Center and called it a “Heart of Darkness” hub within the university. He also pointed to Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan, both affiliated with the Belfer Center, as ideological architects of these strategies. (Read more: The Daily Caller, 5/22/2025)(Archive)
Rather than honoring the military men and women who gave their lives defending their fellow Americans’ right to live in freedom, two-time failed Democratic Party presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is calling on her supporters to bash President Donald Trump and his One Big Beautiful Bill that passed the House this week when they get together with friends and neighbors at Memorial Day gatherings this weekend:
I’m giving you a mission for this Memorial Day holiday weekend.
I want you to talk to two people—friends, neighbors, cookout attendees—about why Trump’s proposed budget would be a disaster for American kids.
We owe the next generation every chance, and this isn’t it.
How the Trump budget bill would impact kids. (It would be a disaster.)
* Drastically cut health care. 15 million Americans, including millions of children, could lose access through Medicaid cuts and ACA marketplace changes.
* Increase food insecurity. Nearly 11 million people—including 4 million kids—could lose SNAP food assistance.
* Make families poorer. The bill would kick 4.5 million American kids off the child tax credit.
* Leave AI dangers unchecked. The bill would freeze state-level AI regulation for 10 years, stripping states of the ability to protect kids from deep fakes, exploitation, and more.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has much work underway, announcing the cancellation of several Biden-era grants that were going toward bizarre and wasteful causes, such as research on LGBTQ+ cartoonists and gay travel guides.
“During the previous administration, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded the following grants to spend taxpayer dollars, all of which have been cancelled,” DOGE wrote on social media, noting that these cancellations have resulted in an overall savings of $163 million.
A $350,000 NEH grant, for instance, was for “interactive gay travel guides to better understand historical LGBTQ+ spaces.” Another grant to the tune of $247,000 was set to “digitize stories of transgender adults in the Pacific Northwest.”
A $60,000 grant was allotted to “research how LGBTQ+ cartoonists innovated comics in the 1980s & 1990s,” and $75,000 was to “examine the relationship between internet live streaming and LGBTQ+ communities.”
Not all grants were LGBTQ centered, however. One grant, coming in at $150,000, was for “excavation of Egypt’s first industrial-scale brewery.” And another $350,000 grant was for creating “a Spanish version of Homosauras.org.”
“NEH grants will be merit-based and awarded to non-DEI, pro-America causes,” DOGE affirmed.

The National Security Council is a ¹cushy job inside the White House filled with bureaucratic analysts and people who are in place in an attempt to steer policy. Many of those detailed to the NSC represent the interests of the Silo agency from which they originate.
The National Security Council contains approximately 350 full-time employees. The National Security Advisor, now Marco Rubio, is in charge of the NSC. Secretary Marco Rubio just fired more than 100 of them. A few quotes from Axios are beautiful, and telling:
(…) “The NSC is the ultimate Deep State. It’s Marco vs. the Deep State. We’re gutting the Deep State,” the official said of the move, which will cut the NSC staff to about half of its current 350 members. “The right-sizing of the NSC is in line with its original purpose and the president’s vision,” Rubio told Axios in a statement. “The NSC will now be better positioned to collaborate with agencies.” [link]
WASHINGTON DC – The Trump administration has put more than 100 officials at the National Security Council at the White House on administrative leave on Friday as part of a restructuring under interim national security adviser and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, according to two US officials and another source familiar with the matter.
(…) An email from NSC chief of staff Brian McCormack went out around 4:20 p.m. informing those being dismissed they’d have 30 minutes to clean out their desks, according to an administration official. If they weren’t on campus, the email read, they could email an address and arrange a time to retrieve their stuff later and turn in devices.
The email subject line read: “Your return to home agency,” indicating that most of those affected were detailed to the NSC from other departments and agencies.
On Thursday, Rubio convened a meeting with principals, which raised speculation that it was about the re-organization, the official said. And on Friday at 3:45 p.m., shortly before the email went out, senior directors were summoned to a meeting with Rubio.
[…] Those put on leave include career officials, as well as political hires made during the Trump administration.
In recent weeks staffers were being re-interviewed by the Office of the Presidential Personnel as the reshaping of the office was taking place, sources said. One of the questions asked was what officials thought was the appropriate size of the NSC, one source said.
Staffed by foreign policy experts from across the US government, the NSC typically serves as a critical body for coordinating the president’s foreign policy agenda.
But under President Donald Trump, the NSC’s role has been diminished, with the overhaul expected to further reduce its importance in the White House. (read more)

Biden Administration Labeled Opponents Of Covid Mandates As “Domestic Violent Extremists,” Newly Released Documents Show
The designation infringed on the First Amendment and opened the door to investigating Americans for vaccine mandate skepticism.
The Biden Administration labeled Americans who opposed the COVID-19 vaccination and mask mandates as “Domestic Violent Extremists,” or DVEs, according to newly declassified intelligence records obtained by Public @shellenberger @galexybrane and Catherine Herridge Reports. The designation created an “articulable purpose” for FBI or other government agents to open an “assessment” of individuals, which is often the first step toward a formal investigation, said a former FBI agent.
The report, which the Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, has declassified, claims that “anti government or anti authority violent extremists,” specifically militias, “characterize COVID-19 vaccination and mask mandates as evidence of government overreach.” A sweeping range of COVID narratives, the report states, “have resonated” with DVEs “motivated by QAnon.”
The FBI, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) coauthored the December 13, 2021 intelligence product whose title reads, “DVEs and Foreign Analogues May React Violently to COVID-19 Mitigation Mandates.”
The report cites criticism of mandates as “prominent narratives” related to violent extremism. These narratives “include the belief that COVID-19 vaccines are unsafe, especially for children, are part of a government or global conspiracy to deprive individuals of their civil liberties and livelihoods, or are designed to start a new social or political order.
“It’s a way they could go to social media companies and say, ‘You don’t want to propagate domestic terrorism so you should take down this content,’” said former FBI agent Steve Friend.

NEW: Biden Administration Labeled Opponents Of Covid Mandates As “Domestic Violent Extremists,” Newly Released Documents Show
The designation infringed on the First Amendment and opened the door to investigating Americans for vaccine mandate skepticism.
A separate February 2022 report called “Special Analysis: Joint Analytic Cell” investigates the “Sociopolitical Factors Amplifying Persistent Domestic Violent Extremist Threat.”
The newly declassified report seems to draw a straight line between opposition to vaccine mandates and elevated levels of domestic terrorism.
However, a close reading of the report’s statistics reveals that of the 2950 domestic terrorism cases handled by the FBI, the vast majority were “related to the 6 January siege of the US Capitol.”
Those cases included “parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol Building.”

Former Obama aide Jon Lovett, co-host of the “Pod Save America” podcast, recently admitted in an interview with Jon Stewart that while he wasn’t “behind the scenes” like Biden’s handlers, he did stay silent about his concerns on Biden’s health and mental capabilities.
The episode of Jon Stewart’s “The Weekly Show” podcast aired on Thursday.
“I remember feeling, I want to talk about this as a huge liability,” Lovett recalled. “But I’m not going to go so far as to say, ‘I think Joe Biden must drop out. He is too old to be president.’”
“I want him to f*cking win because I care about the country!”
Lovett said he didn’t want to make too much noise and become “part of the case against Joe Biden from the Right.”
Interestingly, just a few days before Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, took control of the National Intelligence Council (NIC) away from the CIA, Gabbard also made a move that is just as consequential and directly related.
It is pretty clear now the NIC was in the middle of a domestic Intelligence Community operation against the Trump administration when Tulsi Gabbard intercepted it (we hope with support from CIA Director John Ratcliffe, but we are not sure). {GO DEEP} It is clear from the comments by SoS/NSA Rubio, that several media outlets were poised and awaiting leaks from the NIC in anticipation of fulfilling their role to advance the operation. [SEE HERE] DNI Gabbard essentially quashed their plan.
(Credit: Conservative Treehouse)
However, I was not aware that it was pushed into the public sphere where DNI Gabbard had taken control of the Presidential Daily Brief simultaneous to her confrontation with the NIC operation. [NYT LINK, Archive] I am writing this update to inform and also ensure the CTH library has a reference point for future discussions. Please familiarize yourself with the citations above as well as two very important outlines.
#1 – The unrealized power of the DNI and the possibilities for Trump’s appointed Director of National Intelligence, if a particular process was followed {GO DEEP}. #2 – The actual purpose of the Presidential Daily Brief (PDB), as well as the modern weaponization of it by the CIA. {GO DEEP}. Those two citations are important context to understand a very visible dynamic taking place.
On the same day that DNI Tulsi Gabbard took control of the PDB away from the CIA, DNI Gabbard also removed the National Intelligence Council from the CIA. This is very good news and highlights both President Trump and DNI Gabbard understanding the unrealized potential power of the DNI that we have discussed on these pages.
Confronting a weaponized Intelligence Community is a key facet of interest for us because it is a core component battle against the main tools of the Fourth Branch of Government. The IC influence is in every policy related to Trump’s domestic and foreign agenda. Taking control and neutering the capabilities of the IC and CIA specifically, is a key undertaking.
With the horrible National Security Advisor Mike Waltz removed, and with Marco Rubio taking control of the National Security Council, now the moves by DNI Tulsi Gabbard begin to take on a much more deliberate context. Now I can be somewhat more optimistic about what we are seeing unfold, albeit it will likely remain unnoticed by almost all other reviewers of politics. Y’all are well aware the need for this IC confrontation has long been one of my biggest focuses.
The article is within the New York Times, which means the anonymous sources are from within the DHS/DNI (domestic IC) apparatus.
NYT – Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, is moving the assembly of the president’s daily intelligence brief from the C.I.A. headquarters to her own complex, according to officials briefed on the move.
The brief, a summary of intelligence and analysis about global hot spots and national security threats, is overseen and presented to the president by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. But C.I.A. officers write much of the analysis in the document and produce it, pulling together articles and graphics on the agency’s classified computer systems.
Ms. Gabbard’s decision comes as President Trump has openly mused to aides over time about whether the office she leads — which was created after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks to improve interagency coordination — should continue to exist, according to two people with knowledge of his remarks. Ms. Gabbard has discussed Mr. Trump’s concerns with him directly and has considered how to overhaul the office, according to one official.
(…) The C.I.A. memo said that while the directorate of analysis role in supporting the daily brief would evolve, “we will remain laser-focused on the president’s and Director Ratcliffe’s priorities and our core mission — generating and delivering insight with impact, free from political or personal bias.”
It is not clear how many C.I.A. personnel assigned to the P.D.B., as the brief is called, and to the National Intelligence Council will move. People familiar with the matter, who were not authorized to discuss internal concerns publicly, said a number of employees at the agency were looking for new assignments to avoid moving to Ms. Gabbard’s office.

The DNI position comes as an outcome of The Patriot Act and as I have repeatedly said, that position has never been fully functionalized. In essence, the DNI can be more powerful than all of the feeder elements into the intelligence apparatus.
The ODNI was formed in 2004, with the intent for the office to be the pivot point of a national security radar. The DNI was intended to provide information to domestic agencies about foreign terror networks that would prevent something like 9-11 from happening again. However, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has never, not for one day, operated on this intent. This is why they are such a critical position from my perspective.
I said in August of 2024, “The DNI can make the FBI, DOJ, DOJ-NSD, DoD, DoS and CIA provide anything and everything they demand. Instead of the other silos using blocks and threats against the office of the President, use the authority of the DNI to get them without confrontation. Then use the DNI to declassify the documents (if requested by potus), instead of the originating silo.
Can you see how the DNI office can be repurposed to be a seriously strong weapon in the toolbox of the President, against the schemes of those inside the various IC silos? The DNI becomes much more important than the CIA Director, NSA Director, FBI Director, Attorney General, etc, because the DNI can just show up and say, “give me this.” That’s the whole functional purpose of the DNI office that has never been exerted; let’s flippin’ use it.
Let’s use the office of the DNI as the central information hub that takes information from inside the corrupt silos, then provides that information to the President who puts sunlight upon it. Each corrupt silo penetrated with disinfectant. This could begin a process to pull down the shadow operations and let the American public see what has been happening inside our IC apparatus.”
It would appear that President Trump and Tulsi Gabbard are doing exactly that, and I am extremely pleased/thankful to see this plan of action in place.
Now, there’s another element to this. The Dept of Homeland Security Secretary, Kristi Noem, reports directly to President Trump. However, for all material intents and purposes of the post-911 design, the DHS Secretary also reports to the Director of National Intelligence, that’s Tulsi Gabbard.
The DHS Secretary directly controls the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA). Do you remember the story of Tulsi Gabbard being targeted by the Joe Biden DHS/TSA under the “Quiet Skies” operation? All of that information is at the fingertips of DNI Tulsi Gabbard.
So, I will leave you to think of this with a little optimism. Here is Tulsi Gabbard today discussing how Joe Biden defined “Domestic Violent Extremists,” and also a discussion about her own personal targeting on the “Quiet Skies” watch list.
Keep in mind, ODNI Tulsi Gabbard has access to every document, note, list and detail of the TSA program that targeted her. Tulsi Gabbard knows exactly who put her on the watch list, when, why and how, as well as who else was/is targeted under this program.
“FOX News Sunday” host Shannon Bream interviews journalist and author Alex Thompson and asks about a passage from his new book “Original Sin,” where he was told the plan for a second term was to have aides run the show while President Biden occasionally made appearances for “proof of life.”
SHANNON BREAM, FOX NEWS SUNDAY: You quote a long-time Biden aide basically admitting he shouldn’t be running again. They said to you on page 85, ‘He just had to win, and then he could disappear for four years. He’d only have to show proof of life every once in a while. His aides could pick up the slack.’ Who would have been running the White House in a second Biden term
ALEX THOMPSON, CO-AUTHOR: Well, this person went on to say that when you’re voting for a president, you’re voting for the aides around him. But these aides were not even Senate-confirmed aides. These are White House aides. These were unelected people. And one of the things that really I think comes out in our reporting here is that if you believe — and I think a lot of these people do sincerely believe that Donald Trump was and is an existential threat to democracy — you can rationalize anything, including sometimes doing undemocratic things, which I think is what this person is talking about.
Project Veritas today released Part One of an explosive undercover investigation revealing shocking truths about who truly controlled the Biden White House. Through covert meetings with David Hogg, Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee, and Deterrian Jones, former staffer in the Biden White House Office of Digital Strategy, Veritas uncovered a web of influence centered around Jill Biden’s Chief of Staff, Anthony Bernal, and a tight-knit inner circle.
In candid, on-camera admissions, Hogg stated, “Jill Biden’s Chief of Staff [Anthony Bernal] had an enormous amount of power,” emphasizing that “the bigger issue was the inner circle that was around Biden.” These revelations point to a hidden power structure that operated behind the scenes, raising questions about transparency and accountability in the Biden administration.
BREAKING: Undercover Meeting with DNC Leader @davidhogg111 Reveals who REALLY ran the Biden White House
“He wielded an enormous amount of power… I can’t stress to you enough how much power he had at the White House.”
Deterrian Jones, who worked directly in the Biden White House, described Bernal as a “shadowy, wizard of oz-type figure” who “wielded an enormous amount of power.” Jones admitted to avoiding Bernal, calling him “scary” and noting that his influence was an “open secret” among staff. These statements expose a culture of fear and unchecked authority within the administration.
Project Veritas has once again unmasked the secrets political leaders hide from the public. This investigation unveils the true power brokers behind the Biden White House, exposing truths the American people have a right to know.
In the upcoming second part of this series, Project Veritas will reveal additional inside knowledge about corruption, threats, and hidden DC secrets, as revealed by controversial DNC Vice Chair David Hogg. (Project Veritas, 5/28/2025)(Archive)

Despite providing demonstrably false information to Congress, Nellie Ohr was never held accountable for contributing to the FBI and DOJ’s Trump-Russia hoax
BUTLER COUNTY, IOWA – The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Justice (DOJ) failed to prosecute Fusion GPS contractor Nellie Ohr for lying to Congress about her role in advancing the FBI and DOJ’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation, according to an internal FBI analysis confirming Ohr’s false congressional testimony.
The 2019 FBI analysis, obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and declassified at the chairman’s request, provides detailed evidence Ohr lied to Congress during sworn testimony and, as a result, obstructed ongoing congressional investigations, violating federal statutes 18 U.S.C. § 1001 and 18 U.S.C § 1505. The document also exposes how the FBI prevented agents from reviewing all relevant information necessary to perform a full analysis of the extent of Ohr’s false testimony and her role in the fake Russia collusion investigation.
“By lying to Congress, Nellie Ohr showed contempt for congressional oversight and the American people. What’s more, the FBI and DOJ’s failure to hold Ohr accountable for appearing to commit multiple felonies and its obstructive conduct against agents that sought additional information reveals the agencies’ deeply disturbing political bias. Ohr never suffered consequences for advancing the phony Trump-Russia narrative and attempting to cover up her involvement in the hoax. Yet time and again, the American justice system has been weaponized against President Trump and his associates with reckless abandon,” Grassley said. “The DOJ’s inaction on Nellie Ohr’s criminal referral – despite the obviously incriminating evidence provided in the FBI’s own analysis – undermines public trust in the rule of law. I applaud Director Patel, Attorney General Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Blanche for cooperating with my request to declassify this information, which is in the public’s interest, and chart a new course for transparency and accountability at the FBI and DOJ.”
Nellie Ohr was employed by the political opposition research firm Fusion GPS between 2015 to 2016 to perform open-source research attempting to connect then-presidential candidate Donald Trump to Russian organized crime. This research was paid for by the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign and Democratic National Committee (DNC). Both organizations ultimately settled with the Federal Election Commission after allegations of campaign finance violations for intentionally misreporting the true purpose of the payments.
At the time of Nellie Ohr’s Fusion GPS employment, her husband, Bruce Ohr, was an Associate Deputy Attorney General at DOJ. Both Nellie and Bruce Ohr testified to the House Committee on the Judiciary and the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform in 2018 as part of the committees’ oversight of the FBI’s bogus 2016 Crossfire Hurricane investigation into President Trump’s disproven collusion with Russia.
In 2019, then-Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), a member of the House Oversight Committee, filed a criminal referral with DOJ asserting Nellie Ohr knowingly provided false testimony to the House committees.
Key Findings of the FBI’s 2019 Nellie Ohr Analysis:
Nellie Ohr may have been involved in drafting aspects of the Steele Dossier and conspired with her husband, Bruce Ohr, to ensure high-level FBI officials received her work product, while Fusion GPS coordinated with media entities to legitimize the FBI’s opening of its now discredited Trump-Russia investigation.
Nellie Ohr may have falsely testified to Congress that she had no knowledge of the DOJ’s Trump-Russia investigation (pg. 13).
Nellie Ohr gave a thumb drive containing her Fusion GPS work to her husband, Bruce Ohr, which he then provided to the FBI as part of its ongoing investigation (pg. 14).
Nellie Ohr’s email traffic shows she emailed her Russian investigative research directly to Bruce Ohr. Nellie’s research closely mirrored the DOJ and FBI’s Trump-Russia investigation (pgs. 15-16).
Bruce Ohr only shared information with the FBI relating to the Trump-Russia investigation after receiving it from his wife, Nellie Ohr (pgs. 15-17).
Nellie Ohr and Bruce Ohr met personally with British intelligence officer and Fusion GPS contractor, Christopher Steele, in 2016 (pg. 21).
Fusion GPS pitched Nellie Ohr’s research to the Department of State (DOS) for additional investigation, per DOS emails (pg. 23).
Nellie Ohr deleted emails with Russia-focused DOJ prosecutors, indicating an effort to conceal her exchanges with DOJ officials involved in the Trump-Russia investigation (pg. 24).
Nellie Ohr may have falsely testified to Congress that she was not involved in drafting the Steele Dossier (pgs. 25-28).
Nellie Ohr made an analytical error in her own research identical to that in the Steele Dossier (pgs. 29-30).
A report deleted from a thumb drive owned by Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson and provided to the FBI via Bruce Ohr contained the same subject matter researched by Nellie Ohr (pg. 31-33).
In direct contradiction to her congressional testimony, Nellie Ohr disseminated Fusion GPS research to DOJ prosecutors beyond those identified in her testimony (pg. 33).
Nellie Ohr repeatedly sent information to the following DOJ officials: Lisa Holtyn, Ivana Nizich, Joseph Wheatley (pgs. 34-37).
In direct contradiction to her congressional testimony, Nellie Ohr took six ham radio classes and an exam during her time as a Fusion GPS employee (pg. 37). Ham radios can facilitate international communication without the use of a cell signal.
Nellie Ohr claimed her ham radio training occurred before she was employed by Fusion GPS. However, per records from the Fairfax Fire and Rescue Department and Federal Communications Commission, Nellie Ohr’s entire ham radio training occurred between March to May 2016, while working at Fusion GPS.
Nellie Ohr may have been involved in the “Alfa dossier,” an additional sham document attempting to connect Trump to Russian crime (pg. 40).

An IT specialist employed by the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) was arrested today for attempting to transmit national defense information to an officer or agent of a foreign government.
Nathan Vilas Laatsch, 28, of Alexandria, Virginia, was arrested today in northern Virginia, and will make his initial court appearance in the Eastern District of Virginia tomorrow.
According to court documents, Laatsch became a civilian employee of the DIA in 2019, where he works with the Insider Threat Division and holds a Top Secret security clearance. In March 2025, the FBI commenced an operation after receiving a tip that an individual — now known to be Laatsch — offered to provide classified information to a friendly foreign government. In that email, the sender wrote that he did not “agree or align with the values of this administration” and was therefore “willing to share classified information” that he had access to, including “completed intelligence products, some unprocessed intelligence, and other assorted classified documentation.”
After multiple communications with an FBI agent — who Laatsch allegedly believed to be an official of the foreign government — Laatsch began transcribing classified information to a notepad at his desk and, over the course of approximately three days, repeatedly exfiltrated the information from his workspace. Laatsch subsequently confirmed to the FBI agent that he was prepared to transmit the information.
Thereafter, the FBI implemented an operation at a public park in northern Virginia, where Laatsch believed he would deposit the classified information for the foreign government to retrieve. On or about May 1, 2025, FBI surveillance observed Laatsch proceed to the specified location and deposit an item. Following Laatsch’s departure, the FBI retrieved the item, which was a thumb drive later found to contain a message from Laatsch and multiple typed documents, each containing information that was portion-marked up to the Secret or Top Secret levels. The message from Laatsch indicated that he had chosen to include “a decent sample size” of classified information to “decently demonstrate the range of types of products” to which he had access.
After receiving confirmation that the thumb drive had been received, on May 7, Laatsch allegedly sent a message to the FBI agent, which indicated Laatsch was seeking something from the foreign government in return for continuing to provide classified information. The next day, Laatsch specified that he was interested in “citizenship for your country” because he did not “expect[] things here to improve in the long term.” Although he said he was “not opposed to other compensation,” he was not in a position where he needed to seek “material compensation.”
On May 14, the FBI agent advised Laatsch that it was prepared to receive additional classified information. Between May 15 and May 27, Laatsch again repeatedly transcribed multiple pages of notes while logged into his classified workstation, folded the notes, and exfiltrated the classified information in his clothing.
On May 29, Laatsch arrived at a prearranged location in northern Virginia, where Laatsch again allegedly attempted to transmit multiple classified documents to the foreign country. Laatsch was arrested upon the FBI’s receipt of the documents.

Deshaun Eli Mack, a Family Services Specialist with the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), has been caught on hidden camera admitting to intentionally violating state policies to provide government-funded benefits to undocumented immigrants.
“I Will Twist and Turn Our Provisions”: Nevada DHHS Specialist Caught on Camera Admitting to “Bending the Rules” to Provide Benefits for Illegal Immigrants
“I get them emergency medical all the time… I just approve them for 12 months because I can. “
Mack detailed how he manipulates the system to offer extended emergency Medicaid coverage to illegals, stating, “I get them emergency medical all the time… just because I want to.”
According to Mack, emergency Medicaid for undocumented immigrants is supposed to be granted on a month-to-month basis and only for severe, qualifying conditions. However, he confessed that he bypasses this process entirely. “They’re supposed to apply every month,” he said, “so I just approve them for 12 months… because I can.”
When asked if that kind of discretion was allowed, Mack responded bluntly: “I make it so. I bend the rules a lot.” He added later, “I will twist and turn our provisions to fit the way that I want them to be.”
Mack also acknowledged a culture within the agency of avoiding cooperation with federal immigration authorities, stating, “We would never call ICE. We do not work with them ever.”
When pressed on whether this behavior amounted to subverting the law, Mack didn’t hesitate: “I do that a lot.”
Mack’s conduct could potentially violate multiple Nevada laws, including statutes related to misappropriation of public funds and the Nevada False Claims Act, which prohibits knowingly approving or submitting false claims for state payment.
OMG has reached out to Mack and the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services for comment on Mack’s remarks.
When contacted by OMG, Mack initially denied wrongdoing, stating, “I don’t [break the law], because I’m not.” Presented with his own recorded statements, Mack shifted his position, claiming, “I say a lot of things that I don’t mean” and eventually admitted, “I lie all the time.” He suggested he may have exaggerated to impress the undercover journalist, saying, “Absolutely,” when asked if that was the reason for his comments. Despite the specificity of his original statements, Mack ultimately claimed, “None of those words I said were true.”
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York announced on Thursday that a longtime USDA employee and five others were busted in one of the largest food stamp frauds in U.S. history.
A short time ago, Perry Carbone, Attorney for the United States, Charmeka Parker, the Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Office of Inspector General and Christopher G. Raia, the Assistant Director in Charge of the New York Field Office of the FBI revealed a superseding indictment was unsealed charging six people in connection with a $66 million-plus fraud and bribery scheme under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) aka food stamp program.
Michael Kehoe, Mohamad Nawafleh, Omar Alrawashdeh, Gamal Obaid, Emad Alrawashdeh, and Arlasa Davis have been hit with multiple charges, including conspiracy to steal government funds and to misappropriate USDA benefits. Davis, a USDA employee who worked as a program specialist, was employed in the division of the agency responsible for identifying SNAP fraud.
As the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York explains, Kehoe started a network in 2019 that handed over roughly 160 illegal EBT terminals to stores across the New York area to steal more than $30 million in EBT transactions. With the help of his co-conspirators, Nawafleh, Omar Alrawashdeh, Obaid, and Emad Alrawashdeh, Kehoe submitted approximately 200 fraudulent USDA applications, misappropriated USDA license numbers, and even forged application documents to acquire EBT terminals for unauthorized stores.
The stores included smoke shops and other businesses not eligible for USDA funds.
Davis was critical to the scheme. The Southern District of New York Attorney’s office notes that she took advantage of her position to sell hundreds of EBT license numbers.
“Michael Kehoe and his co-conspirators misappropriated tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds meant to help low-income families put food on the table,” Carbone explained. “This fraud was made possible when USDA employee Arlasa Davis betrayed the public trust by selling confidential government information to the very criminals she was supposed to catch.” (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 5/29/2025)(Archive)
After our story aired, the mayor’s office removed those names and told FOX 17 News the names were “mistakenly included in the information posted online.”
Critics of Mayor Freddie O’Connell say releasing the names was no mistake and puts federal agents at risk.
Supporters of Mayor O’Connell insist it was not malicious.
The names of ICE officers and Homeland Security Investigators are no longer visible on the Office of New Americans’ website, following our discovery of the public data.
This stemmed from Mayor O’Connell’s amended Executive Order 30.
As more reports emerge about former President Biden’s alleged cognitive decline during his time in office, a Republican senator has made an explosive new claim: that Biden would sometimes get lost in a closet inside the White House while serving as commander-in-chief.
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., made the stunning claim on “Hannity” Friday, citing an unnamed Secret Service whistleblower who Hawley said was assigned to Biden.
“He [Secret Service member] told me that Biden used to get lost in his closet in the mornings in the White House,” Hawley said. “I mean, the guy literally stumbling around in the White House residence couldn’t find his way out of his own closet. The president of the United States. I mean, this is outrageous. We were lied to.”

Elon Musk and Jared Isaacman (Credit: Graphic by The Gateway Pundit)
“We don’t confirm Schumer donors in this administration,” said a source close to the Trump team — referencing the quiet but decisive move to pull billionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman from consideration as the head of NASA under the second Trump Administration.
Isaacman — a close ally of Elon Musk, SpaceX collaborator, private astronaut, and founder of Shift4 — was under serious consideration for a high-level appointment. But his name was withdrawn after campaign finance records revealed over $200,000 in donations to prominent Democratic politicians, committees, and super PACs.
The donations, all made in recent election cycles, include contributions to some of the most powerful Democrat operatives and institutions:
Jared Isaacman’s Political Donations (2021–2024):
$100,000 to Senate Majority PAC (10/28/2021) — aligned with Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY)
$50,000 to Josh Shapiro for Governor (3/2/2022)
$10,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (3/29/2022)
$10,000 to the Democratic Party of Pennsylvania (7/22/2024)
$10,000 to the Michigan Democratic State Central Committee (8/1/2024)
$2,500 to George Whitesides for Congress (6/28/2022)
$2,500 to George Whitesides for Congress (11/8/2022)
$1,000 to Rep. Susan Wild (D-PA)
$500 to Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA)
$5,000 to Keystone America PAC (Democrat-aligned PA PAC)
$5,000 to Mitten PAC (Democrat-aligned MI PAC)
Notably absent from Isaacman’s financial history: any donations to President Donald Trump, his campaign, or any Trump-aligned political action committee.
(…) President Donald Trump officially withdrew Jared Isaacman’s nomination to lead NASA on May 31, 2025. The announcement came just days before the Senate was scheduled to vote on Isaacman’s confirmation, which had already advanced with bipartisan support. Following the withdrawal, Trump indicated that a new nominee aligned with his “America First” space policy would be announced soon. Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Steven Kwast has been mentioned as a potential replacement.
Isaacman’s donations, all on record with the Federal Election Commission and compiled by OpenSecrets.org, leave little doubt about his political leanings in recent cycles.
The takeaway from the Trump team, according to insiders: if you back Chuck Schumer with six-figure donations, don’t expect to be appointed in a Trump administration.
Energy expert Daniel Turner, founder of Power the Future, the nonprofit that released a damning report last week revealing that at least eight major actions taken by President Biden were allegedly signed via autopen, joined the latest episode of Breitbart News Saturday to highlight the gravity of his organization’s findings and of other similar reports.
(…) After Power the Future’s review discovered an utter lack of proof that Biden even knew about several major climate actions, as he never publicly spoke of or acknowledged them, the group sent letters this week to several agencies, including the Department of Justice (DOJ), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of the Interior (DOI), and the Department of Energy (DOE) calling for an investigation.
Letters were also sent to the House and Senate Oversight Committees, Turner toldFox News.
Speaking to Boyle, Turner continued, “Well, when you have an executive order to ban offshore oil and gas drilling … That’s a pretty damn big ban. When you have that and you sign it by autopen, there are process crimes.”
“Someone had to draft that. Someone had to actually put it on paper. Someone had to bring that paper to the autopen machine. That autopen machine is under lock and key. Someone had to open it. Someone had to confirm,” he explained. “And I’m not throwing names under the bus, but I’m just going to use titles. The chief of staff had to know what was going on. The staff secretary — every time Donald Trump signs an executive order, we see the staff secretary hand him that order, explain it, the president signs it. There are personnel involved in processes.”
“These processes, I think, if nothing else, they deserve a good, thorough investigation,” he added.
The letter to House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-KY) states:
In light of the growing evidence that actions purportedly taken by the former president may not have been approved or signed by him, but instead promulgated by a small coterie of advisers in his name without his knowledge or over his signature using an “autopen,” the need for congressional access to information has grown in importance with these revelations.
The letter continues:
Congress deserves to know how or whether these executive actions were authorized, and whether the former president was aware of such orders before they were implemented by the federal bureaucracy. Were these actions taken on behalf of the president and purporting to execute his authority undertaken with the president’s knowledge and approach? It appears incumbent upon Congress to inquire about all parties involved in these actions, who instructed them to do what, when.
Turner also pointed to House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-LA) claim that the former president apparently did not know that he had signed an executive order pausing the export of liquified natural gas (LNG) in an early 2024 meeting.
“Because if Joe Biden had no idea he banned natural gas … Look, I’m no Biden fan at all in any sense of the word — I loathe the man. But that guy has been in politics for 60 years because he is a savvy politician. A competent Biden would have never banned the sale of natural gas trying to win the state of Pennsylvania,” the Power the Future founder told Boyle. “Even Biden would have been like, ‘We’re not going to ban natural gas. I’m trying to win the damn state of Pennsylvania for the election.’ That’s how bad of a decision it was, and that’s how out of the loop Biden was.”
I’ve been posting a lot about Hillary Clinton. Let’s spend some time with Bill, shall we?
As the Air Force Military Aide and carrier of the “nuclear football,” the other aides and I lived and worked in the White House.
One morning, I was the first person on President Clinton’s calendar. I was scheduled to brief the president on the nuclear process and answer any questions he might have. I arrived at 7:00AM before the rest of the Oval Office was at work. It also happened to be the same morning that the Monica Lewinsky affair hit the national press.
As I walked by his secretary’s desk in the outer area of the Oval, I noticed the headlines of the Washington Post. I knew he’d been caught. I walked into the Oval and found the president with his head in his hands, bloodshot eyes. He knew he’d been caught, too. I said “Sir, if this is a bad time, I can comeback later for the briefing.” He agreed. I said, “Just one more thing. Could I just authenticate that you have the nuclear codes?” We called the codes “the biscuit” because the president would tear it open.
The president carries the codes, the aide carries the “football.” He told me that no, he didn’t have them. He didn’t know where they were. I asked him how long they’d been misplaced. He couldn’t remember. I was floored. It’d never happened before.
Instead of concern for the missing top secret document, he simply said, “Please don’t let this get out.” His only concern was his impending impeachment, Monica, and his poll numbers.
I gave the Pentagon a heads up and they were incredulous. We conducted an extensive search of the White House and the residence. Never found them. The Pentagon hopped to and created a new set that was quickly disseminated across the US nuclear arsenal. No easy task. They brought a new set the next morning.
Bill Clinton LOST the nuclear codes! For an undetermined period of time, our commander in chief didn’t have the ability to launch nuclear weapons. He never informed us, he had Monica on his mind. Dereliction of duty!
One of the leading prosecutors of the January 6th protesters has resigned from the Department of Justice.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Greg Rosen, who led the DOJ’s Capitol Siege Section, has taken up a post with a private law firm.
Rosen was one of the many prosecutors who worked tirelessly to harass, persecute and ultimately imprison around 1,500 individuals protesting the widespread fraud that tainted the 2020 presidential election.
In an interview with CBS News, Rosen complained about President Trump’s decision to pardon all those involved.
“The message that [the pardons] send is that political violence towards a political goal is acceptable in a modern democratic society,” Rosen said.
“That, from my perspective, is anathema to a constitutional republic.”
NEW: Greg Rosen, former head of Capitol Siege section of Justice Dept, to @cbsnews about agency’s review of 5,000+ FBI employees who were part of Jan 6 investigation:
“The job.. it was not political. For any person to be treated poorly because of that.. is shocking” pic.twitter.com/korUn5y4ok
The FBI’s electronic case management system, Sentinel, allows agents to hide the existence of relevant investigative reports from other authorized users of the federal database. And during the Russia collusion hoax, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team used that functionality to keep potentially relevant documents hidden from other FBI agents investigating whether a Fusion GPS contractor lied to Congress.
The significance of these two facts cannot be overstated: Now in question is whether the federal government complies with the constitutional mandate in criminal cases to provide defendants all material exculpatory and impeachment evidence as well as its discovery obligations in civil litigation; whether Special Counsel Durham’s office, the inspector general, and agents investigating the members of the Crossfire Hurricane team had access to all relevant information; whether the DOJ and FBI provided congressional oversight committees with requested (or subpoenaed) documents; and whether FOIA responses included all relevant documents to the press and public.
Last Wednesday, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released a recently declassified FBI “Electronic Communication,” or EC, dating from September 2019, which the Iowa Republican maintains “Proves Fusion GPS Contractor Nellie Ohr Lied To Congress About Contributions To Crossfire Hurricane.” That 43-page document, drafted by a FBI Washington Field Office agent, detailed extensive evidence indicating Nellie Ohr lied multiple times during her congressional testimony concerning the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into the Trump campaign.
The catalogue of evidence against Nellie Ohr, who is married to Bruce Ohr — one of the key FBI Russia-collusion hoaxers — raises the question of why the DOJ never pursued criminal charges against the Fusion GPS contractor. The EC also suggests that Nellie Ohr’s open-source research may have made its way into the Steele dossier and the fraudulent Alfa Bank materials provided to the FBI.
Those details, however, pale in comparison to two explosive facts the EC revealed by way of background. First, the EC explained the FBI’s Sentinel case management system allows investigative material to be coded “Prohibited Access,” which renders the files not merely inaccessible to other agents — but invisible to them. And second, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team designated the Trump/Russia-collusion investigations “Prohibited Access” in Sentinel, meaning any agents running keyword search in Sentinel would wrongly believe there were no responsive documents.
Here’s how the FBI Washington Field Office agent put it in the EC: “On May 3, 2019, relevant FBI/DOJ information related to this assessment [of Nellie Ohr] was inaccessible to FBI investigators given that the Trump/Russia-collusion investigations were in FBI systems under ‘Prohibited Access’ status which, unlike ‘Restricted Access’ status, precludes investigators from detecting the existence of potentially relevant serials.”
“In other words,” the EC continued, “when search terms that exist in the Prohibited Access-status cases are searched in Sentinel, the particular search will receive a false-negative Sentinel search response.”
The existence of the “Prohibited Access” classification came as a surprise to several former career prosecutors and FBI agents. Jay Town, a former career prosecutor and the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama under Trump 1.0, told The Federalist he was not aware of the “Prohibited Access” classification and shared that many of his colleagues likewise had never heard of it. “This is a staggering revelation for nearly all of us,” Town said.
At least one former assistant U.S. attorney, however, indicated he knew of the “Prohibited Access” coding, and clearly the FBI Washington Field Office agents who drafted and approved the EC were familiar with its use as well. But how many DOJ and FBI agents knew of the “Prohibited Access” functionality is unknown.
There is also scant public information about the coding and when or why it is used. For instance, the redacted public version of the FBI’s Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide does not appear to discuss the use of “Prohibited Access” in Sentinel. An inspector general’s report from 2021, however, confirms Sentinel offers a “Prohibited Access” coding and that that coding renders the files invisible to other FBI agents, with a footnote in that report explaining:
Documents and data uploaded into Sentinel are assigned one of three access levels: unrestricted, restricted, or prohibited. The extent to which information appears in search results depends on the data’s access level and the searcher’s permissions. Prohibited data is visible only to users with permission to view the underlying case; all other users receive no search results and would not know that information relevant to their search exists in a prohibited case.
That the FBI’s case management system allows documents, including witness statements and other evidence, to be rendered invisible to other agents searching Sentinel for relevant documents is horrifying because the federal government is legally obligated in a variety of circumstances to produce such information — but it cannot produce something that it does not know exists.

Former Acting Secret Service Director Ron Rowe said he planned to resign and retire in February but has remained on the payroll as a “senior adviser” for more than four months into the Trump administration, collecting paid leave.
Rowe’s last day was Friday, according to a knowledgeable Secret Service source, and many agents are hoping his departure will sweep out the DEI policies and lowering of standards that led to two assassination attempts against now-President Trump. After years of DEI hiring priorities, their impact is still plaguing the agency as demonstrated by the recent fistfight between two Uniformed Division officers in front of former President Obama’s D.C. residence late last month, which @RCPolitics first reported.
At least one of the big DEI priorities of former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle’s has now ended. With Trump’s executive order barring all DEI policies across the federal government, which placed hundreds of DEI officials on paid leave, Secret Service Director Sean Curran is no longer supporting the national 30X30 pledge to hire at least 30% women agents and officers by the year 2030, according to sources familiar with Secret Service policies. This was a major Cheatle priority, and sources say she aggressively pursued it and had achieved 24% women agents and officers with the Secret Service by the time of her forced resignation after the J13 assassination attempt last year.
There are plenty of women agents and officers who adhere to the highest Secret Service standards, but others were not hired solely on merit and at times were pushed through the process even if they didn’t pass all the training tests and requirements.
Within the hour, I’ll report in a separate post about multiple DEI conferences around the country the Secret Service was paying for its agents and employees to attend at the HEIGHT of the frenetic campaign last year while Rowe was complaining that the agency didn’t have enough taxpayer funds to keep manpower levels up.

Here are 50 reasons why President Donald J. Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill is the best chance in a generation to pass critical reforms for which Americans voted:
It delivers the largest tax cut in American history. This means an extra $5,000 in Americans’ pockets with a DOUBLE-DIGIT percent DECREASEto their tax bills. Americans earning between $30,000 and $80,000 will pay around 15% less in taxes.
It makes the Trump Tax Cuts permanent, preventing the largest tax increase ever. If the bill doesn’t pass, Americans will see the largest tax increase in history.
It raises Americans’ take-home pay by as much as $13,300 and wages by as much as $11,600.
It reverses the spending curse plaguing Washington, D.C. The bill delivers the largest deficit reduction in nearly 30 years, with $1.6 trillion in mandatory savings — the largest single reduction in mandatory spending in our country’s history.
It delivers NO TAX ON TIPS and NO TAX ON OVERTIME. This makes good on two of President Trump’s cornerstone campaign promises and will benefit hardworking Americans where they need it the most — their paychecks.
It finishes President Trump’s border wall. As a result, 701 miles of primary wall, 900 miles of river barriers, 629 miles of secondary barriers, and 141 miles of vehicle and pedestrian barriers will be constructed.
It boosts Border Patrol and ICE agents on the frontlines with the largest border security investment in history. This means funding to hire 10,000 new ICE personnel, 5,000 new customs officers, and 3,000 new Border Patrol agents to detain and deport at least one million illegal immigrants annually.
It increases the child tax credit to $2,500 per family.
It protects Medicaid for Americans who truly need it. This bill eliminates waste, fraud, and abuse by ending benefits for at least 1.4 million illegal immigrants who are gaming the system.
It implementspopular work requirements for able-bodied Americans receiving taxpayer-funded benefits. Through commonsense, Clinton-era work, volunteer, education, or training requirements, the One Big Beautiful Bill lifts Americans up to find a better quality of life through the dignity of work.
It eliminates hundreds of billions of dollars in Green New Scam tax credits. The legislation immediately stops credits from flowing to China, saving taxpayers $500+ billion every year.
It reverses electric vehicle mandates that let radical climate activists set the standards for American energy.
It ends Biden’s war on American energy. The bill finally unleashes American energy dominance by opening federal lands and waters to oil, gas, coal, geothermal, and mineral leasing.
It streamlines onerous permitting processes so America can get building again.
It refills the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to safeguard America’s energy security.
It repeals and rescinds every “green” corporate welfare subsidy in Democrats’ so-called “Inflation Reduction Act.”
It stops illegal immigrants from receiving tax credits and taxes remittances sent to foreign countries.
It supports small businesses by increasing the Section 199A deduction to 23% — promoting the growth and success of Main Street.
It incentivizes MADE IN AMERICA. The bill rewards companies that build their products in America with lower taxes — and allows Americans who buy an American-made vehicle to fully deduct their auto loan interest.
It creates new Trump Savings Accounts for newborns — allowing children across America to experience the miracle of compounded growth.
It expands access to childcare for hardworking American families.
It provides a historic increase in funding for the U.S. Coast Guard. This will help block illegal drugs and migrants from entering our country, protect our sovereignty in the Arctic, and promote our national security.
It supports building new factories to grow domestic business operations. The bill renews 100% immediate expensing and interest deductions, increases the small business deduction, and establishes 100% immediate expensing for equipment and machinery.
It helps American farmers, producers, and ranchers compete and sell products in foreign markets. The bill makes sure American farmers aren’t crowded out by foreign imports in liquid fuel production markets.
It holds woke, elitist universities accountable by increasing the endowment tax on large universities.
It protects hardworking taxpayers by canceling Biden’s illegal and unfair student loan bailouts.
It ends taxpayer-funded sex changes. It reverses the Biden-era mandate that Medicaid cover so-called “gender transition” procedures — ending the taxpayer-funded chemical castration and mutilation of American children.
It’s a once-in-a-generation chance to revolutionize our nation’s defense capabilities and protect the homeland against new threats by funding President Trump’s Golden Dome.
It enhances the capacity of America’s naval fleet. The bill provides billions of dollars to revitalize America’s shipbuilding and maritime industrial base.
It modernizes air traffic control — fulfilling President Trump’s plan to completely overhaul the systems that keep Americans flying safely and efficiently.
It strengthens SNAP benefits. The legislation requires states to contribute a greater portion of the cost of administering benefits, thereby controlling costs, and closes the excessively broad loopholes for work requirements.
It implements critical program integrity and cost containment provisions in Medicaid to strengthen it for future generations. These include removing deceased individuals from the program and limiting retroactive coverage from three months to one month prior to enrollment.
It safeguards Second Amendment rights by removing tax and registration requirements for firearm silencers and eliminating silencers from the National Firearms Act.
It provides critical disaster recovery funding to farmers, producers, and ranchers.
It provides funding to rebuild America’s military — including $9+ billion to improve quality of life for our servicemembers, $20+ billion to bolster U.S. munitions production, and $12+ billion to modernize our nuclear arsenal.
It expands health savings accounts to give Americans greater choice and flexibility in how they spend their money.
It gives $10,000 bonuses annually over the next four years to Border Patrol and ICE agents on the frontlines.
It incentivizes scholarships that empower American families and students to choose the education that best fits their needs.
It repeals Democrats’ insane attack on the gig economy — ending the requirement that Venmo, PayPal, and other gig transactions over $600 be reported to the IRS.
It reforms and streamlines the federal student loan program to drive down tuition costs and simplify repayment plans. This includes reasonable limits on amounts students can borrow.
It strengthens accountability for students and taxpayers on federal student loans. The bill imposes “skin in the game” requirements to hold universities financially accountable to the government on defaulted federal student loans.
It implements critical reforms to Pell Grants to make sure they prioritize students who truly need financial assistance while promoting completion. The legislation allows grants to be used for short-term, high-quality workforce training programs to support Americans who want to learn a trade instead of the traditional four-year colleges.
It increases timber sales on federal lands. This means an increase in timber production and improvement to forest management — improving the resilience of timber and saving billions on future wildfire suppression costs.
It authorizes the sale of expanded spectrum MHz to strengthen rural broadband and secure America’s technological dominance in AI and other emerging technologies.
It creates permanent fees that illegal immigrants must pay for their applications so American taxpayers aren’t saddled with covering these costs. These fees will bring in over $77 billion to cover adjudication costs and fund immigration processes and enforcement actions.
It protects family farmers. The bill prevents the greedy death tax from hitting two million family-owned farms who would otherwise see their exemptions cut in half and cuts taxes on farmers by over $10 billion.
It ends abusive financing practices in Medicaid by freezing existing provider taxes and prohibiting new provider taxes. This ensures states cannot improperly increase the federal government’s cost-share of a state Medicaid program at the expense of taxpayers.
It reins in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. This brainchild of Sen. Elizabeth Warren has long functioned as another woke, weaponized arm of the bureaucracy — with minimal accountability or oversight — that leverages its power against certain industries and individuals disfavored by the so-called “elites.”
It rolls back harmful Biden-era regulations that increase cost and administrative burdens with limited flexibility for states. These burdensome regulations, such as federal staffing mandates at nursing homes, lead to closures, reduced access to care, and increased costs, particularly in areas already overwhelmed by labor shortages.
John Brennan, Russiagate Conspirator and Laptop Hoaxer, is worried that the CIA and FBI won’t be “apolitical” under Trump —
— and will no longer attract “principled individuals.”
“It is just so similar to the totalitarian regimes that I saw overseas in terms of making sure that the security services are doing the bidding of the political leader.”
“That’s why I think that the FBI is going to have a tough time attracting individuals that have that type of principled approach to government service.”

I’m young enough to remember when subpoenas came flying my way left and right just months after leaving Trump 1.0! You name it—Process Servers, U.S. Marshalls, and the FBI — KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK — over 4 years, compliments of the LAWFARE waged by the Biden Admin!

Tucker Carlson and Mark Levin (Credit: public domain)
Mark Levin was at the White House today, lobbying for war with Iran. To be clear, Levin has no plans to fight in this or any other war. He’s demanding that American troops do it. We need to stop Iran from building nuclear weapons, he and likeminded ideologues in Washington are now arguing. They’re just weeks away.
If this sounds familiar, it’s because the same people have been making the same claim since at least the 1990s. It’s a lie. In fact, there is zero credible intelligence that suggests Iran is anywhere near building a bomb, or has plans to. None. Anyone who claims otherwise is ignorant or dishonest. If the US government knew Iran was weeks from possessing a nuclear weapon, we’d be at war already.
Iran knows this, which is why they aren’t building one. Iran also knows it’s unwise to give up its weapons program entirely. Muammar Gaddafi tried that and wound up sodomized with a bayonet. As soon as Gaddafi disarmed, NATO killed him. Iran’s leaders saw that happen. They learned the obvious lesson.
So why is Mark Levin once again hyperventilating about weapons of mass destruction? To distract you from the real goal, which is regime change — young Americans heading back to the Middle East to topple yet another government. Virtually no one will say this out loud. America’s record of overthrowing foreign leaders is so embarrassingly counterproductive that regime change has become a synonym for disaster. Officially, no one supports it. So instead of telling the truth about their motives, they manufacture hysteria: “A country like Iran can never have the bomb! They’ll nuke Los Angeles! We have to act now!”
They don’t really mean this, and you can tell they don’t by what they omit. At least two of Iran’s neighbors — both Islamic nations — already have nuclear weapons. That fact should scare the hell out of Mark Levin. Yet for some reason he never mentions it. How come? Because it’s not the weapons he hates. It’s the ideology of the Iranian government, which is why he’s lobbying to overthrow it.
It goes without saying that there are very few Trump voters who’d support a regime change war in Iran. Donald Trump has argued loudly against reckless lunacy like this. Trump ran for president as a peace candidate. That’s what made him different from conventional Republicans. It’s why he won. A war with Iran would amount to a profound betrayal of his supporters. It would end his presidency. That may explain why so many of Trump’s enemies are advocating for it.
And then there’s the question of the war itself. Iran may not have nukes, but it has a fearsome arsenal of ballistic missiles, many of which are aimed at US military installations in the Gulf, as well as at our allies and at critical energy infrastructure. The first week of a war with Iran could easily kill thousands of Americans. It could also collapse our economy, as surging oil prices trigger unmanageable inflation. Consider the effects of $30 gasoline.
But the second week of the war could be even worse. Iran isn’t Iraq or Libya, or even North Korea. While it’s often described as a rogue state, Iran has powerful allies. It’s now part of a global bloc called BRICS, which represents the majority of the world’s landmass, population, economy and military power. Iran has extensive military ties with Russia. It sells the overwhelming majority of its oil exports to China. Iran isn’t alone. An attack on Iran could very easily become a world war. We’d lose.
None of these are far fetched predictions. Most of them comport with the Pentagon’s own estimates: many Americans would die during a war with Iran. People like Mark Levin don’t seem to care about this. It’s not relevant to them. Instead they insist that Iran give up all uranium enrichment, regardless of its purpose. They know perfectly well that Iran will never accept that demand. They’ll fight first. And of course that’s the whole point of pushing for it: to box the Trump administration into a regime change war in Iran.
The one thing that people like Mark Levin don’t want is a peaceful solution to the problem of Iran, despite the obvious benefits to the United States. They denounce anyone who advocates for a deal as a traitor and a bigot. They tell us with a straight face that Long Island native Steve Witkoff is a secret tool of Islamic monarchies. They’ll say or do whatever it takes. They have no limits. These are scary people. Pray that Donald Trump ignores them.

Jeffrey Sachs divulged to Tucker Carlson the “Origination of The Deep State Project started under Clinton to expand NATO”
He explains how yesterday was truly HISTORIC DAY once that call between Trump & Putin occurred.
Every president since Clinton has signed onto this secret plan until Trump.
We had made assurances not to expand NATO to Russia and then after the fall of the Soviet Union we embarked on warp speed expansion. And the most dangerous move was to back out of the ABM (Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty) in 2002 which was designed to prevent nuclear war.
We then attempted to absorb Ukraine & Georgia into NATO.
This full segment is worth the time because it lays out how we arrived to this dangerous point that many times could have led us to WW3.

1. While most of America remains blissfully uninformed by our establishment press, the world’s two greatest superpowers are being manipulated by Dark Forces inside and outside our government, into a major military confrontation that no country wants, and no sane person would ever want.
2. I have no role in the Trump Administration, but over a long career in the active uniformed military, specifically military intelligence, I have made it a point to cultivate many sources of information around the world. From what I can piece together, I want to share my deep concerns about who is behind this march to war, and my recommendations for how our nation and the West can avoid a major military confrontation with Russia.
3. I believe that the American Deep State is staffed by those with a deep, visceral, and irrational hatred for Russia, and these persons have conspired to box in President Trump’s decision making through the Russiagate Hoax. During the time the Soviet Union was expanding and infiltrating our government, I was an outspoken anti-communist, but, despite the lies told by our Deep State, Russia is not the Soviet Union and Putin is not Stalin. Even today, years after the Russiagate Hoax has been exposed, President Trump’s efforts to bring peace are met with resistance. The Establishment Press, deeply influenced and even sometimes controlled by our Deep State, labeled President Trump and those who work for him “Putin’s Puppets” to goad him into taking unwarranted and aggressive steps against Russia. These voices from the establishment press reflect the views of the Deep State, not the American People, and not the MAGA movement, and should be completely disregarded, if not mocked.
4. During almost all of the post-World War II period, and certainly since the establishment of the CIA in 1947, these unelected dark establishment forces have acted to destabilize the world, bringing death, famine, assassinations, violence, coups, riots, revolutions, and destruction to our planet. Currently, these forces are working to provoke Russia into a major — perhaps a final — military conflict with the West.
5. This provocation has many forms. Most recently, it involves the surprise drone attack on the Russian federation strategic arsenal, said to affect 40 bombers, or about a third of Russia’s strategic bomber fleet. Since Russian and American strategic bombers are generally required by agreement to be visible to satellite surveillance, never before has anyone engaged in an attack on these visible targets. If Russian bombers can be attacked with impunity, so can American bombers. By this action, the Ukrainian Government has not just weakened Russia, it has jeopardized America. Thus, those in the Ukrainian government who ordered these strikes have made themselves enemies not just of Russia, but of the United States. Making matters worse, this unwarranted attack was followed by Ukrainian attacks on the Kerch Strait Bridge connecting Russia and Crimea.
6. I do not believe that the recent escalation against Russia’s strategic bomber fleet was authorized by or coordinated with President Trump. Rather, it is my view that the Deep State is now acting outside of the control of the elected leadership of our nation. I believe that these persons in our Deep State are engaged in a deliberate effort to provoke Russia into a major confrontation with the West, including the United States. The time is now to take aggressive action against those who abuse their authority as government employees to manipulate the elected leadership of our nation.
7. Growing up in an Irish Democrat family in Rhode Island, I was only about five when John Kennedy was assassinated, but our family viewed John Kennedy as a hero. Not just for my family, one of our most beloved Presidents, John F. Kennedy, in 1961, found himself manipulated by earlier versions of these same Deep State forces when they attempted to manipulate President Kennedy to launch Air Force planes to attack Cuba after the failed invasion, resulting in an open conflict with both Cuba and the Soviet Union. In President Kennedy’s June 1963 speech at American University declaring his vision of peace with the Soviet Union, he declared himself to be an enemy of this Deep State, which by all indications then retaliated by participating in his assassination five months later in Dallas. The American Deep State is not only a threat to peace, but a threat to the President.
8. President Trump has already faced at least two assassination attempts. If there is one person who I believe has the character and love for our nation to rid our government of these forces, it is President Trump. After the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, President Trump displayed the type of personal courage that those of us who have served in the military deeply admire. With great affection for the President, I now urge him to risk the wrath of the Deep State once again by taking actions to purge enemies of our nation within our agencies and departments. Removing such persons from power is absolutely necessary to achieve the type of peace he described during his campaign and the beginning of his Administration.
9. Once President Kennedy realized he was being manipulated, and opposed because he sought peace, he removed Allen Dulles as Director of Central Intelligence, and several of his assistants. I urge President Trump to immediately clean house of any in government who had prior knowledge of or participated in any way in the Ukrainian attack on the Russian federation strategic bombers, and to go further by immediately declaring an end to any support for the Ukraine War. President Trump is right: this is not “his” War. I urge him to recall all open and covert military and other government personnel from Ukraine. I urge him to have all those personnel removed and interrogated by the FBI or the military to learn of their possible participation in unauthorized military activities. Any Americans who have aided and abetted Ukraine’s attacks should be investigated for violation of American law, and prosecuted as necessary.
10. I also believe President Trump should distance himself from certain Western leaders such as German Chancellor Fred Merz, who have acted and spoken in an irresponsible manner with respect to the Ukraine War. If there are countries in Europe who wish to provide military assistance to Ukraine, that is their concern, and they should not be surprised by President Putin’s response to their actions against Russia. If such leaders want to lead their nations to war by persisting in such irresponsible behavior, they will go it alone.
11. I urge President Trump to also distance himself from demonstrated war mongers in our own government, chief among whom is U.S. Senator Lindsay Graham. Those who love wars fought by others are no friends of America, and have no entitlement to be friends of the President.
12. Finally, I urge the American people to stand prayerfully and resolutely with President Trump as he cleans house and acts in pursuit of the type of peace which President Kennedy embraced. Peace is not the normal state of man. Freedom requires a price be paid by every generation. It is time to recommit our nation to both.

General Flynn’s warnings about unelected bureaucrats hijacking foreign policy align with the core mission of exposing government waste and unaccountability. The Ukraine Support Act (H.R. 2913) allocates $300M annually through 2027 for military aid, yet Flynn’s analysis highlights a critical flaw: taxpayer dollars risk fueling proxy conflicts without congressional oversight or strategic clarity. This mirrors the bill’s Section 205, which mandates reports on allied contributions but lacks enforceable mechanisms to prevent mission creep.
The real issue? Bureaucrats weaponize aid to serve globalist agendas, not American interests. While national defense is non-negotiable, unchecked spending on foreign wars—without measurable outcomes or audits—is fiscal malpractice. Trump’s leadership must dismantle this corruption, redirecting resources to secure borders, energy independence, and crushing inflation.
Accountability starts with defunding Deep State operatives embedded in agencies, as Flynn rightly demands. Every dollar sent abroad should face the same scrutiny as domestic programs. No more blank checks for foreign quagmires.

A “Jew-hater” who protested against Israel on Columbia University’s campus and contemplated setting a student on fire allegedly had a direct link to Hamas’ deadly al-Qassam Brigades militant group, The Post can reveal.
Tarek Bazrouk — awaiting trial after being indicted on three federal hate crimes against Jewish people — was “a member of a chat group that received regular updates from Abu Obeida,” the official spokesperson for the brigades, according to allegations in federal documents.
The accusation is the first evidence of an agitator receiving information directly from Hamas and taking action during protests on the university campus.
Bazrouk, 20, who was not a Columbia student, also frequently wore the green headband used by Hamas terrorists and boasted to friends about having relatives overseas who were part of the terror group, prosecutors claim in a letter filed with the court.
While on Columbia’s campus during protests in April 2024, Bazrouk allegedly texted a pal saying he lit a flare and considered lighting someone on fire, but that there were “too many” people around for him to take on, otherwise he “would’ve hurted [sic] them.”
Columbia University said it has no record of Bazrouk being on campus and wanted “to be clear that this individual is not affiliated with our University in any way,” adding that the school “strongly condemns antisemitism and violence, and we are horrified by the violence and hate crimes described in the indictment.”
Bazrouk, a US citizen born and raised in New York, was also arrested next to the campus in December 2024 for one of the three attacks against Jewish people of which he stands accused.
It is not clear how Bazrouk got on campus, which is private university property, but Columbia was beset with anti-Israel protesters shielded by masks throughout 2024, resulting in the NYPD being called to flush them out in April that year. (Read more: New York Post, 6/4/2025)(Archive)

Last week, Michigan’s dirty Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson was the first elected official in the state’s history to be held in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over subpoenaed election information to lawmakers. Today, Articles of Impeachment have been filed against the current Secretary of State and Democratic candidate for Governor, Jocelyn Benson.
The subpoena issued by the Michigan House, which demanded that Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson provide election training materials, was issued in April with a May 22 deadline for submitting the materials. Unfortunately, for the citizens of Michigan, a significant portion of taxpayer dollars has been spent on defending the illegal activity by Michigan’s Secretary of State, Benson, who spends more time in court fighting lawsuits by plaintiffs demanding transparency and honest voter rolls than actually doing her job.

House Speaker Pro Tempore Rachelle Smit (R-Martin) released a statement following the contempt vote, highlighting the House’s persistence: “For seven months, we’ve given Secretary Benson every opportunity to sit down with us and discuss the training process for clerks and their staffs. I made my first information request in November of last year. Since then, we’ve gone back and forth repeatedly as MDOS has blocked our access to the materials used to train our clerks and their staff.” Joining Smit at the podium were Rep. Ann Bollin (R-Brighton Township), Chair of the House Appropriations Committee, and Rep. Jay DeBoyer (R-Clay Township), Chair of the House Oversight Committee.
The civil contempt vote was sponsored by Representatives Jay DeBoyer (R) and Ann Bollin (R) and was approved along party lines. Fifty-eight representatives voted in favor of contempt, while 47 voted against, and 5 representatives abstained from voting. (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 6/4/2025) (Archive)
(…) Grassley demanded Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel search for and produce all records related to Mueller and the Biden Crime Family that may currently be hiding in the “Prohibited Access” files.
“As I’m sure you are aware, the impact of parking records in a way that impedes, or in some cases prevents, responsive records from being produced to Congress pursuant to a valid request and during the course of court litigation, whether criminal or civil, is wide-ranging and potentially catastrophic to constitutional requirements,” Grassley wrote to Bondi and Patel. “Indeed, if the FBI has failed to take steps in the past to access records in ‘Restricted’ or ‘Prohibited’ status, the FBI has not fully responded to many years of my oversight requests.”
Chairman Grassley is also seeking records related to DOJ/FBI officials who destroyed federal documents related to Mueller’s bogus Trump-Russia collusion investigation.
Recall that Mueller’s top henchman Andrew Weissmann deleted his government phones numerous times during the Mueller inquisition.
Special Agent Walter Giardina who played a major role in the Mueller probe, Peter Navarro prosecution, Arctic Frost, Crossfire Hurricane, Roger Stone and Hillary Clinton cases illegally wiped his government laptop.
Per Grassley:
SA Giardina was an initial recipient of the Steele Dossier and falsely said that the report was corroborated as true.
SA Giardina stated openly his animosity toward President Trump and made known his personal motivation to investigate Trump.
SA Giardina electronically wiped the laptop he was assigned while working for Special Counsel Mueller outside of established protocol for record preservation, raising the possibility that he destroyed government records. The destruction of the laptop was reported to the DOJ Office of Inspector General.
SA Giardina instructed agents to use false Emolument Clause predication on President Trump to “dig around.”
SA Giardina was a case agent assigned to the Crimson River case, later changed to Red Maasari. This case was leaked, by whom it is not known, to the Washington Post in August 2024, roughly 90 days before the presidential election, in an attempt to falsely discredit President Trump.
NEW: Senate Judiciary is investigating FBI agent Giardina, who “falsely said the [Steele dossier] was corroborated as true” and “stated openly his animosity toward Trump” and “electronically wiped the laptop he was assigned while working for Special Counsel Mueller” on Flynn case https://t.co/Q4mt6GFRQt
A GoFundMe account was set up for the Ohr’s in October 2020 and they received over $51,000 in donations for their legal costs.. (Credit: GoFundMe)
(…) As FBI investigators were looking into FBI records of Nellie Ohr, they hit a roadblock set by the Special Counsel’s Office:
“Relevant FBI/DOJ information related to this assessment was inaccessible to FBI investigators given that the Trump/Russia-collusion investigations were in FBI systems under ‘Prohibited Access’ status which, unlike ‘Restricted Access’ status, precludes investigators from detecting the existence of potentially relevant serials. In other words, when search terms that exist in the Prohibited Access-status cases are searched in Sentinel [the FBI’s case management system], the particular search will receive a false-negative Sentinel search response.”
From the Electronic Communication, it’s pretty clear that the agents Federal Public Corruption squad were not surprised by the segregation of the Trump/Russia records. There’s no doubt that the Federal Public Corruption unit would be familiar with the Prohibited Access status, as they have (until their recent disbanding) investigated fraud, bribery, and corruption of public officials, both elected and unelected. Most likely they restricted many, if not all, of their investigations in a similar matter.
After all, it’s natural that some investigations require more secrecy than other, especially ones that are politically-charged, involve threats to the homeland, or are otherwise sensitive. And the existence of the “Prohibited Access” level – especially with regard to Crossfire Hurricane – is not itself a surprise.
“Because the information being investigated related to an ongoing presidential election campaign, the Crossfire Hurricane case file was designated as ‘prohibited’ meaning that access to the file was restricted and viewable to only those individuals assigned to work on the investigation. Agents and analysts referred to the investigation as ‘close-hold’ and, as discussed later in this chapter, used covert investigative techniques to ensure information about the investigation remained known only to the team and FBI and Department officials.”
Similarly, as our friend Walkafyre observed, the opening Electronic Communication for the Midyear investigation (which looked into Hillary Clinton’s transmission of classified information) stated it would be “designated as a prohibited investigation” due to its sensitive nature and “the damage its disclosure would cause.”
But it’s not only the political cases that are designated Prohibited. IG Horowitz, in his 2021 review of the FBI’s adjudication of employee misconduct investigations, noted that “documents and data uploaded into Sentinel are assigned one of the three access levels: unrestricted, restricted, or prohibited.” At that time, Sentinel was programmed so that FBI misconduct cases were “automatically designated ‘prohibited access.’”
So it’s not the existence of cases designated “Prohibited Access” being, by themselves, a scandal. But its rather the abuses that can stem from the prohibition. It cannot be forgotten that top officials within the FBI and the Mueller Special Counsel had a significant self-interest in the Prohibited Access designation, one relating to self-preservation and also their political desire to continue to their investigative pursuits. Sunlight was the disinfectant, though it came too late.
And we get an example of that abuse in the Electronic Communication released by Grassley. The Special Counsel’s Office (SCO) refused to provide a number of requested documents, including those relating to Nellie Ohr’s boss at Fusion GPS, Jake Berkowitz. Migration of the cases from Prohibited Access to Restricted Access was slow and incomplete. At other times, the SCO never provided documents to the search requests provided by the Federal Public Corruption.
That’s your scandal – using Prohibited Access as a way to not only insulate a corrupt case but to hinder the legitimate case against Nellie Ohr, with self-protection being the ultimate goal. (The other scandal being the still unexplained decision to not prosecute Nellie Ohr.) The timing is important – the materials continued to be prohibited, and the SCO continued to be uncooperative, even after the SCO had wound-down and Mueller had issued his report in the spring of 2019.
(…) Finally, on the topic of secrecy, apparently the FBI – apparently including former Director James Comey – had other means to hide documents. It was quite simple: keep paper copies but don’t digitize the files through the normal FBI procedures. (Read more: Techno Fog/The Reactionary, 6/5/2025)(Archive)

A high-ranking federal prosecutor resigned in protest after a grand jury indicted MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia on charges of trafficking aliens.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia is an El Salvadoran national who was illegally residing in Maryland. In 2019, an immigration judge ordered Abrego Garcia, an alleged member of the dangerous MS-13 gang, removed from the US.
After a months long court battle over his deportation, Kilmar Abrego Garcia was transported back to the United States from El Salvador to face criminal charges.
(…) A federal grand jury in Tennessee indicted Kilmar Abrego Garcia for “transporting undocumented migrants within the United States.”
He was charged with one count of conspiracy to transport aliens and one count of unlawful transportation of undocumented aliens.
According to the indictment, Kilmar Abrego Garcia and co-conspirators from El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico and the US were trafficking illegal aliens from 2016 through 2025.
(…) Ben Schrader, the Chief of the Criminal Division at the US Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Tennessee, quit in protest after a federal grand jury indicted Abrego Garcia.
Schrader believed the federal case against Abrego Garcia was pursued for political reasons.
“Earlier today, after nearly 15 years as an Assistant United States Attorney, I resigned as Chief of the Criminal Division at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Tennessee. It has been an incredible privilege to serve as a prosecutor with the Department of Justice, where the only job description I’ve ever known is to do the right thing, in the right way, for the right reasons. I wish all of my colleagues at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and across the Department the best as they seek to do justice on behalf of the American people,” Ben Schrader said on LinkedIn.

As we have watched things unfold, we have noticed that Tulsi Gabbard and Marco Rubio seem to be the most effective at delivering results despite the efforts of the entrenched control mechanisms of the deep state intelligence community. Actions speak louder than words, and while the words of many are strong, it is the actions of Gabbard and Rubio that show focus.
Previously Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard removed the National Intelligence Council from the CIA and removed the heads. In the latest development, the intelligence apparatus is in a state of apoplexy because DNI Gabbard has experienced the politicization of the Intelligence Community Inspector General’s network (ICIG), and she is now taking bold actions around the silo control mechanism.
(Credit: Conservative Treehouse)
Before getting to the substance, it is worth reminding everyone of clear politicization within the ICIG when Michael Atkinson changed the CIA whistleblower rules in order to facilitate a false accusation against President Trump using CIA operative Eric Ciaramella and Alexander Vindman. Atkinson worked with his former boss in the DOJ, Mary McCord, to frame the construct of an impeachment against President Trump.
Also remember, Atkinson’s testimony to the House impeachment committee was sealed and classified by co-chairs Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler who were part of the framing. That transcript has NEVER been released.

In the latest development, DNI Tulsi Gabbard has installed a key ally, Dennis Kirk, into the ICIG apparatus. Kirk is in place to monitor the political operations of the Intelligence Community and report to DNI Gabbard so that she can eliminate the bad actors. To say the Deep State IC embeds are apoplectic would be an understatement. The Inspector General system within the Intelligence Community is a critical control mechanism for politicization of intelligence.
The leaks to the media are to the Washington Post, because this core part of the IC is a CIA element. The CIA uses the Washington Post as their public relations and narrative distribution network.
WASHINGTON POST – Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard installed one of her top advisers to a position within the office of the inspector general of the intelligence community, according to two U.S. officials familiar with the matter. The move potentially compromises the integrity of the independent watchdog office while it is investigating the use of the Signal messaging app by top government officials to discuss classified details of a pending U.S. military strike against the Houthis in March.
The adviser, Dennis Kirk, was placed within the watchdog office on May 9, but reports to the DNI, according to one of the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.
Rep. Stephen F. Lynch (D-Massachusetts), the leading Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, sent a letter to acting intelligence community inspector general Tamara A. Johnson on Thursday, demanding information about the appointment of Kirk, who was an adviser in the Office of Personnel Management during President Donald Trump’s first term and co-author of a Project 2025 chapter on the federal workforce.
Lynch said the Oversight Committee was informed of the appointment by the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), a group made up of government watchdogs.
In a statement to The Washington Post, Gabbard’s press secretary, Olivia Coleman, accused the intelligence community inspector general of failing to fulfill “the responsibility to be an independent organization unbeholden to partisan interests.”
Coleman said that Kirk was assigned to the watchdog office as part of the transition team and found “evidence of overwhelming and intentional politicization by the current IC IG team.”
The office’s leadership, she said, has “bucked President Trump’s directives” regarding diversity, equity and inclusion, “slow-walked responses to Congressional Republicans while prioritizing responding to Democrats, abused taxpayer dollars for personal purposes, and created a workplace environment filled with politically motivated action,” she said. “This is unacceptable on all fronts, and the DNI is taking action to ensure the IG office is focused on fulfilling its mission.”
[…] “The purported appointment of the IC IG ‘senior adviser’ heightens existing concerns about politicization and improper conduct at ODNI, including the subordination of competence and accountability at the agency to political fealty to President Trump,” Lynch wrote.
[…] The intelligence community inspector general was set up by statute in 2010 to provide independent oversight over the now 18 agencies in the intelligence community. (read more)
Pay attention to when the ICIG office was constructed, 2010!
Barack Obama took office in January 2009, with the House and Senate fully controlled by Democrats (60 Senators) throughout 2009 and 2010. The establishment of the ICIG was part of the construct for the Fourth Branch of Govt.
Current DNI Tulsi Gabbard is working through a process to deal with the IC weaponization legacy we have discussed on these pages for quite some time. Again, one of the few cabinet officials actually confronting the constructs within the Deep State.
FBI Director Kash Patel sat down with Joe Rogan in Austin, Texas, where he dropped a series of revelations about the Bureau’s ongoing investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, including a promise to release jail cell surveillance footage and newly uncovered evidence that could implicate Anthony Fauci.
(…) The most explosive moment of the interview came when Patel shifted his focus to Dr. Anthony Fauci.
This was the bombshell.
After years of stonewalling, vanishing records, and unanswered questions, a major breakthrough had finally arrived: Fauci’s COVID-era phones and hard drives—once thought to be missing—had been found.
“We just had a great breakthrough this week on Fauci,” Patel revealed.
The FBI had been investigating the origins of COVID, but a key problem remained: Fauci’s communications during the most pivotal months of the pandemic were nowhere to be found.
“And nobody had found it… till two days ago.”
Now, the original hard drives are in hand. And Patel made the mission clear: “Did that guy lie? Did he intentionally mislead the world and cause countless deaths?”
He stressed that this isn’t about politics—it’s about accountability. “The best evidence is always the people’s evidence,” he said.
“We’re going to exploit those hard drives… We’re not done. We’re on the case.”
If there’s evidence Fauci manipulated data, covered up dissent, or shaped the narrative to fit a political agenda, Patel believes it could be sitting right there on those devices.
And this time, he says, the truth won’t be buried.

But there’s a lot more beneath the surface. Let’s dig in. ⬇️
1️⃣ Karen Bass once served as Vice Chair of the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a U.S. government-funded NGO notorious for meddling in foreign governments under the banner of “promoting democracy.”
Translation: soft power regime change.
2️⃣ NED has been exposed repeatedly for funding color revolutions, pushing Western-aligned NGOs, and helping topple governments that don’t play ball with U.S. interests.
Bass was right in the middle of it.
3️⃣ And then there’s the scholarship scandal.
LA County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas got federally indicted for receiving a scholarship from USC’s School of Social Work and allegedly trading favors.
Bass? She received the exact same scholarship.
But no charges. Not even a slap on the wrist.

Karen Bass’ political career started early. She volunteered in Robert Kennedy’s political campaign in middle school.
She studied philosophy at San Diego University from 1971 to 1973, but she was already a full-fledged political activist by then.
At the age of only 19 years old, she was already visiting Cuba every six months as a part of a group called the Venceremos Brigade. These visits would continue to the mid-1970s.
The Venceremos Brigade was a joint effort from the Castro government – she was working at the behest of a quasi-governmental NGO backed by Castro.

For years, the popular “LA Scanner” account on X presented itself as a simple, neutral feed with just scanner updates, crime alerts, and public safety notices. But now, the left-wing mask has finally slipped.
And what do we see underneath? A raging left-wing activist with Stage 5 TDS, an open hatred for law enforcement, and a not-so-subtle agenda to turn his 40K followers into digital foot soldiers for sabotage against ICE.
In a now-viral post, the account openly encouraged people to commit a federal crime – calling in fake reports to ICE in order to tie up their resources and “make them look like fools.” That’s not free speech. That’s incitement. That’s obstruction. And, as we mentioned, that’s a felony.
Definitely don’t call in fake reports to tie up their resources and make them look like fools pic.twitter.com/vE23FMmKCG
— LA Scanner (@LAScanner) June 8, 2025
And here’s the kicker: the guy knew exactly what he was doing. His snarky “definitely don’t call in fake reports” phrasing was a wink-and-nod to his activist base. The intent was clear—and now that it’s blowing up in his face, he’s panicking.
For those that don’t know, filing false reports to a federal law enforcement agency is illegal under 18 U.S.C. § 1001. It carries up to 5 years in prison or 8 years if it involves terrorism-related targets. And according to Grok and legal analysts, it’s easily traceable thanks to SS7 signaling, ANI data, and VoIP tracing. Translation: You will get caught.
One X user put it bluntly:
“Food for thought in case anyone wants to try and commit a felony by filing false reports… ANI makes it easy to trace your line, even if you spoof your Caller ID.”
However, things took a turn for Mr. LA Scanner once the violence escalated in LA and once MAGA accounts started calling for his arrest and removal from X. LA Scanner panicked. He posted a desperate backpedal:
“I want to be absolutely clear: I do not support the violence currently happening… If you are rioting, you need to stop… But if you’re peacefully protesting the removal of immigrants… I support your right to do so.”
Look:
The sudden backtrack from felonious wink-winks to “safety is the top priority” wasn’t just weak; it was transparent. He knew what he did. He just didn’t think it would come back on him. But it did. Because this is what happens when the left’s emotion-driven activism crosses the line into actual crime. Their fake moral high ground crumbles the second the consequences hit.
Here’s where this all started – because this isn’t just about ICE. It’s about Trump Derangement Syndrome taking over another American who let his rage cloud his judgment. Take a look at this unhinged statement he posted in the wee hours of June 9th.
I am absolutely sickened by the actions of this administration. I cannot — and will not — stand by while Donald Trump tears apart families, lives, and entire communities. What he says and what he does are not the same. While claiming to target criminals, he is deploying militarized agents to job sites and detaining entire construction crews. An 18-year-old was reportedly forced to relieve himself in front of adult men—some potentially dangerous—while in custody. Others are being held in conditions that can only be described as inhumane: sleeping on concrete floors with nothing but Mylar blankets, crowded into facilities that resemble modern-day concentration camps. This is not justice. This is cruelty. Trump is dismantling a nation built by immigrants, for immigrants. Mr. Trump: Stop. End these actions now. History is watching.
Clearly, the person running this account has more than scanners on his or her mind.
But it gets worse.
While those violent far-left mobs and Mexican nationalist rioters were wreaking havoc in L.A., Mr. LA Scanner decided to up the ante by posting what amounted to a hit list. A list of ICE locations, published in the middle of a live riot. This wasn’t public info sharing. It was tactical incitement.
Over 1,000 rioters are attacking federal agents and Governor Newsom does nothing.
LA’s Mayor is actually attacking ICE.

INSURRECTION: Democrat activists like Jack Quillin who runs the LA Scanner 𝕏 account doxxed federal agents and directed protesters to federal buildings before and during the riots. As a result, both the agents and the buildings were repeatedly attacked. Last night he began to realize that he was putting lives in danger stating, “I genuinely hope this doesn’t end in anyone losing their life” after posting the address of a federal agent. When he provided a list of federal offices in the LA area to protesters he made sure to remind them to remain peaceful. Quillin’s operation, NightSunTV, LLC, collected the names, addresses, photos of federal officials going as far as to build an interactive map that provided a real-time view of their locations throughout the LA area.

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) There was a lot of news last week about the FBI suppressing evidence: Sen. Chuck Grassley alleged Thursday that the bureau has a “Prohibited Access” label to hide damning documents, while Director Kash Patel was widely criticized a day later for his dubious claims that the FBI doesn’t have footage of sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s associates abusing girls.
To top it off, an attorney suing the FBI in federal court filed a motion Friday afternoon, accusing the bureau of lying about footage in another scandalous case: the Oklahoma City bombing, which remains the deadliest domestic terrorism attack in American history.

The late-Friday motion comes from Utah attorney Jesse Trentadue, who’s been suing the FBI for records on the OKC bombing for decades. Trentadue said in his motion that a researcher he works with recently uncovered previously hidden FBI records about the bombing. Those records, unearthed by OKC bomb researcher Richard Booth, show that an agent falsely testified in court that the bureau didn’t have surveillance footage of OKC bomber Timothy McVeigh and his mystery accomplice “John Doe 2.”
“Booth did a text based search of those FBI records and discovered therein four documents proving that the Bureau is in possession of videotapes from security cameras at the Regency Towers Apartments (“RTA”) that show the destruction of the Murrah Federal Building, and Timothy McVeigh actually arming the truck bomb at approximately 8:57 am on the morning of [April] 19, 1995, when the Ryder Truck that was carrying the bomb was parked in front of the RTA,” Trentadue’s motion states.
“More importantly, these same RTA videotapes would show John Doe 2, the accomplice that 24-witnesses have said was in the truck with McVeigh that morning, but who the FBI insists never existed.”
Trentadue’s filing comes some 17 years after he initially sued the FBI for surveillance footage of the OKC bombing in 2008. His lawsuit went to trial in 2014, and the FBI vociferously argued that no footage from the RTA buildings exists. The presiding judge has yet to issue a final judgment, in large part due to allegations that the FBI tampered with one of Trentadue’s witnesses (that wild saga can be read here).

We were warned that an internal revolution started by the communists would be coming. We were also warned that the summer of 2025 would be a “summer of chaos” in the United States. So the truth is that what happened in Los Angeles over the past few days shouldn’t be a surprise to any of us. The next couple of years are going to be a time when the far left in this country gets crazier than they have ever been before.
What we have just witnessed is only the beginning. So buckle up and hold on tight because things are only going to get wilder from here. The following are 16 things that everyone needs to know about the extremely violent far-left revolution that just erupted in Los Angeles…
#1 The protests in Los Angeles have been extraordinarily violent. It is being reported that objects were being thrown at police vehicles, and at one point a car was set on fire in the middle of an intersection…
KTLA video footage shows lines of law enforcement officers standing in the streets as protesters taunted them, while others blocked a roadway and threw objects at police vehicles. In addition, a car sitting in the middle of an intersection was seen engulfed in flames:
#2 The mainstream media has generally been downplaying this fact, but it has been confirmed that “multiple federal law enforcement officers” have been injured by the protesters…
Large-scale protests have sprouted throughout L.A. County including in the Westlake District, downtown L.A. and Paramount, and have escalated to violence on several occasions. A federal law enforcement official tells CBS News that multiple federal law enforcement officers were injured during confrontations with protesters on Friday and Saturday.
#3 Setting fires in southern California is a very foolish thing to do because they can easily get wildly out of control. But some of these violent protesters were “starting fires with accelerants” anyway…
On Saturday, anti-ICE protesters were filmed starting fires with accelerants during the anti-ICE rallies.
You can clearly see in a video making the rounds on X that the protesters are spraying accelerant on the dry brush before they set in on fire. Others are wearing Mexican flags as they stand by and watch.
#4 In the old days, everyone knew that you just don’t mess with the U.S. Marshals Service. They may not have realized it at the time, but the crowd of protesters that “swarmed” a U.S. Marshals Service bus could have very easily gotten shot…

A crowd swarmed a US Marshals Service bus exiting a nearby freeway, with authorities later closing on and off ramps to keep protesters from taking over the highway.
Smoke rose from burning shrubbery and refuse in the street, and demonstrators kicked at a Border Patrol vehicle.
A boulevard was closed to traffic as Border Patrol agents circulated through the area.
It’s become as predictable as heat waves and mosquitoes: every summer, the radical left finds a new excuse to unleash chaos on America’s streets. It kicked off in full force with George Floyd’s so-called “summer of love,” a blood-soaked, fiery spectacle that left cities burned to the ground, a trail of injured and dead bodies, and police departments damaged and demoralized.
Since then, like clockwork, they’ve churned out one outrage after another. Climate tantrums that block highways and ruin livelihoods. “No King” protests that vandalize statues and harass everyday Americans. And now, right on cue, they’re rioting to protect illegals from ICE, turning US neighborhoods into lawless war zones, all to keep America’s borders wide open and the Dems new illegal voting bloc intact.
Riot police have arrived in LA, and explosions are heard. 🔥🔥🔥

(…) This latest riot-fest out of Los Angeles proves this racket perfectly. The riots over ICE raids were so bad that President Trump had to send in the National Guard. Of course, the left tried to fight having the National Guard restore law and order.
ALERT: Today a federal appeals court will be holding a hearing on President Trump deploying the National Guard to the LA anti-ICE riots.
President Trump has the authority to enforce federal law—which includes federal immigration law.
— Rep. Wesley Hunt Press Office (@RepWPH) June 18, 2025
And just like always, the propaganda press played their “Baghdad Bob” role, calling it “mostly peaceful” while fires crackled and riot squads fought to regain control right behind them.
So who’s really behind this chaos, and how is your hard-earned tax money funding it?
Tulsi knows…
Watch:
And here is:

EXCLUSIVE: Taxpayer-Funded Nonprofit Behind the Anti-ICE Riots in Los Angeles.
Over the past two days, ICE agents have conducted targeted operations across the Los Angeles region, detaining more than 40 suspected illegal aliens. These enforcement actions triggered large-scale demonstrations, some of which turned confrontational, with reports of vandalism, blocked traffic, and physical clashes with federal agents.
The unrest has prompted questions about who is organizing and funding these protests. One of the organizations at the center of the resistance to ICE is the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA), a Los Angeles nonprofit that has long provided legal and advocacy services to illegal aliens. CHIRLA is known for radical positions on immigration—for example, it led a campaign to abolish ICE in 2018.
Angelica Salas
Yesterday afternoon, as clashes with federal law enforcement were heating up, CHIRLA Executive Director Angelica Salas held a press conference during which she announced that the Los Angeles Rapid Response Network’s hotline had received more than 50 calls reporting ICE activity and sightings of “men in military garb.” LARRN is organized by a coalition of nonprofits, and CHIRLA plays a central role, using its main phone line as the hotline number. LARRN’s hotline is one of the communication systems that allows legal observers, volunteers, and other activists to be quickly dispatched to the scene of immigration enforcement actions.
During her remarks, Salas referred to SEIU California President David Huerta as her “brother,” highlighting CHIRLA’s close ties to organized labor in California. Huerta had been arrested during one of the protests for blocking the path of an ICE vehicle, as shown by video footage released by U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli. Governor Gavin Newsom expressed his unequivocal support for Huerta, claiming he was only “witnessing” the action, while Essayli announced his intention to file criminal charges.
For her part, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has defiantly opposed federal immigration enforcement in the city, stating on social media Friday, “We will not stand for this” and “No vamos a permitir estas acciones,” (“We are not going to permit these actions”). She added that her office would collaborate with community-based organizations that serve immigrants. She has a long relationship with CHIRLA and bragged last year about obtaining federal funding for CHIRLA’s programs. That grant is part of a broader stream of public dollars that the organization receives from government sources.
In fact, according to a financial audit submitted to the state, the CHIRLA organization received nearly $34 million in revenue from government contracts during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2023, with 96% of that funding from the State of California. That figure marks a sharp increase from the prior year, when it received around $12 million in government contract revenue. Agencies contributing to CHIRLA’s funding during this period included the California Department of Social Services, the California Arts Council, the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services, and the Department of Homeland Security. Notably, as mentioned above, a DHS contract funded CHIRLA to provide citizenship instruction and naturalization services.
With $100,000 remaining on CHIRLA’s contract, DHS froze the remaining funds in February. CHIRLA responded by suing. The court denied their motion for a preliminary injunction on May 29. This is one of two lawsuits CHIRLA filed against DHS this year. The other was dismissed for lack of standing and is on appeal.
To sum up how this works: Your tax dollars fund an organization that organizes efforts to directly interfere with the federal government’s lawful exercise of authority. Then, through its lobbying arm, that organization helps get Democrats elected to office, who then repay the favor by ensuring increased funding.
This is the nonprofit industrial complex at work.

𝑵𝑬𝑽𝑰𝑳𝑳𝑬 𝑺𝑰𝑵𝑮𝑯𝑨𝑴: Funded Pro-Palestinian Campus Protests; Now Tied to Anti-ICE Riots
The LA riots were part of a series of nationwide protests organized by Communist PSL (Party for Socialism & Liberation) taking place on June 7-8.
Several days ago, Neville Singham was identified as the main backer behind PSL.
PSL printed signage and spokespeople not only for the LA riots, but also for San Antonio and other cities. I’ll document Neville Singham’s involvement below:

LA riots break out due to ICE doing their job. (Credit: Jim Vondruska/Getty Images)
CNN and MSNBC referred to riots in Los Angeles as “peaceful” 170 times as of Monday afternoon since the violence broke out following a Friday raid by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a Daily Caller News Foundation review found.
President Donald Trump ordered the National Guard to deploy Saturday as the riots continued in Los Angeles following a raid by ICE at a Home Depot, with video posted to social media showing an individual wearing a motorcycle helmet throwing rocks at the windshields of vehicles containing ICE agents with the FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to that person’s arrest. Despite the videos of fires burning appearing on those networks, they used the term “peaceful” dozens of times, according to a DCNF review of Grabien data.
While the phrase “peaceful protests” did not appear on CNN until Sunday, it has appeared 30 times on the network, with 25 of the utterances taking place Sunday. The phrase has been used 16 times on MSNBC, 12 of them on Sunday.
The term “peaceful protest” was used 124 times from Friday to Sunday on the two corporate 24-hour news channels. CNN used that term 69 times, while MSNBC used it 55 times.
In one instance Monday, MSNBC host Ana Cabrera claimed “vastly peaceful protests” against the ICE raids were occurring in Los Angeles.
“Let’s bring this all back to where it started,” Cabrera said during a segment with , the deputy state director for California for the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC). “Vastly peaceful protests of ICE operations in the Los Angeles area.”
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claimed that rioters in Los Angeles setting fire to and vandalizing vehicles, looting businesses, and throwing objects at law enforcement officials are caught up in the “exuberance of the moment.”
While speaking at a press conference, Pelosi explained that “when there is a large gathering” of people, anarchists view it “as an opportunity and they move in.” Pelosi continued to claim that images or videos showing a “burned car or a broken window” may be due to “the exuberance of the moment” or from the anarchists.
“When — and I say this as a former party chair — when there is a gathering, a large gathering of people, the anarchists see it as an opportunity and they move in,” Pelosi said. “So, [you] always have to be careful, whether you see a burned car or a broken window, or whatever it is. It may be the exuberance of the moment, but it may be the anarchists setting in.”

Today a federal grand jury seated in Newark, New Jersey returned a three-count indictment charging U.S. Representative LaMonica McIver with forcibly impeding and interfering with federal law enforcement officers. This indictment has a maximum penalty of 8 years for Count One, an additional maximum penalty of 8 years for Count Two, and a maximum penalty of 1 year in prison for Count Three.
As I have stated in the past, it is my Constitutional obligation as the Chief Federal Law Enforcement Officer for New Jersey to ensure that our federal partners are protected when executing their duties. While people are free to express their views for or against particular policies, they must not do so in a manner that endangers law enforcement and the communities those officers serve.
Today’s decision by the grand jury is the next step in a process that my Office will pursue to a just end.

1,500 Protests Planned. 50 States Targeted — PBD Says It’s a Setup as Democrats Look for their “Next George Floyd” moment to Frame Trump as a Dictator. @patrickbetdavid delivered a warning: the setup is already in motion.
“They’re losing their minds. It’s great to be on with you here. They’re losing their minds. But here’s the thing—when you look at Gavin Newsom, it’s very interesting how opportunistic he is and what his format is: blame, deflect; blame, deflect; get emotional; play politics; spin a little bit. The guy is such a gifted spinner.
Here’s a challenge that Californians have to be thinking about: California—this is the closest it’s ever been to being red. This is the closest California has ever been to being red in a long time. Now, a lot of the people that voted for Trump—the independents, the libertarians, and the conservatives in California that voted for Trump—they want to see changes in California.
Are you going to fall for this tactic? He’s separating families and their kids and all this… this is all this other stuff. He’s doing all this other stuff. It’s going to be interesting watching how California handles this, because if they succeed in getting everybody else emotional, we know what game they’re playing.
June 14th is President Trump’s 79th birthday—250-year army. You—you got flagged. You got all this stuff that they’re doing with America.
They don’t want to see any of these victories taking place. An Axios article came out talking about 1,500 protests—they’re already planning them in 50 states, funded by 100 progressive organizations and a lot of different NGOs. One of the Walton billionaires, Christy Walton—her name was mentioned in the New York Times. This is a 19–20 billion dollar type of person.
A lot of this money—you hear Soros, all these other things that they’re doing. They’re planning this. You know what they’re looking for? I hate to say this—they’re looking for their next George Floyd. That is all they need. They need one person. They need one massive crisis.
They have no policies. They have no good ideas. I’ve yet to see— I went on ChatGPT. I said, “Can you tell me what solutions Mayor Bass and Gavin Newsom have given to all these protesting?” There are no solutions. It’s meetings. It’s suing Trump. Zero solutions.”

The U.S. House of Representatives just voted 266–148 to repeal Washington, D.C.’s Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, which allowed non‑U.S. citizens, including potentially illegal immigrants and foreign agents, to cast ballots in local elections.
Led by Rep. August Pfluger (R‑TX), the vote drew support from 56 Democrats, proving GOP fears that D.C.’s progressive experiment threatens the sanctity of American elections.
“PASSED: My bill to prohibit noncitizens from voting in DC elections just passed the House!” Pfluger wrote on X.
He added, “It’s common sense: Only American citizens should be able to vote in U.S. elections!”

The Democratic Party’s rogue network of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with Marxist-aligned political ideologies is likely serving as the organizational backbone behind recent anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles. These demonstrations, which began as opposition to federal immigration enforcement actions, have escalated into civil unrest involving vandalism, arson, and looting, and now, the FBI has launched an investigation into the funding sources behind the chaos.
FBI Director Kash Patel told Just the News, “The FBI is investigating any and all monetary connections responsible for these riots.” This comes as a pattern of escalation is consistent with previous color revolution-style mobilizations by the Democratic Party’s NGO sphere.
While experts note that protest funding itself isn’t illegal, the FBI is focusing on the intent behind financial support—particularly if it facilitated criminal activity.

“If you have to watch out for a burnt car, that isn’t a peaceful protest, that isn’t America. That’s anarchy,” acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told Fox News.
Among the nonprofits identified as playing a key role in last week’s unrest are the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) and Unión del Barrio—a group seen as the Mexican version of BLM, whose manifesto openly cites Marxist and communist ideology. These groups sparked some of the first protests, which quickly morphed into unrest last week and over the weekend.
As civil unrest spreads across Los Angeles, President Trump has ordered the deployment of National Guard troops and Marines to stabilize the region. At the same time, nearly 200 NGOs linked to the Democratic Party’s activist network are reportedly coordinating efforts to export the unrest to cities across the country this weekend.

Four men, including a government contracting officer for the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and three owners and presidents of companies, have pleaded guilty for their roles in a decade-long bribery scheme involving at least 14 prime contracts worth over $550 million in U.S. taxpayer dollars.
Roderick Watson, 57, of Woodstock, Maryland, who worked as a USAID contracting officer, pleaded guilty to bribery of a public official;
Walter Barnes, 46, of Potomac, Maryland, who was the owner and president of PM Consulting Group LLC doing business as Vistant (Vistant), a certified small business under the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) 8(a) contracting program, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery of a public official and securities fraud;
Darryl Britt, 64, of Myakka City, Florida, who was the owner and president of Apprio, Inc. (Apprio), a certified small business under the SBA 8(a) contracting program, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery of a public official; and
Paul Young, 62, of Columbia, Maryland, who was the president of a subcontractor to Vistant and Apprio, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery of a public official.
In addition, Apprio and Vistant, both of which contracted with USAID, have agreed to admit criminal liability and enter into three-year deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs) in connection with criminal informations filed today in the District of Maryland. As part of these resolutions, both Apprio and Vistant admitted to engaging in a conspiracy to commit bribery of a public official and securities fraud. The DPAs entered into with Apprio and Vistant require each company to, among other obligations, provide ongoing cooperation with and disclosures to the Justice Department, implement a compliance and ethics program, and report to Justice Department regarding remediation and implementation of these compliance measures.
“The defendants sought to enrich themselves at the expense of American taxpayers through bribery and fraud,” said Matthew R. Galeotti, Head of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “Their scheme violated the public trust by corrupting the federal government’s procurement process. Anybody who cares about good and effective government should be concerned about the waste, fraud, and abuse in government agencies, including USAID. Those who engage in bribery schemes to exploit the U.S. Small Business Administration’s vital economic programs for small businesses — whether individuals or corporations acting through them — will be held to account.”
“Watson was entrusted to serve the interests of the American people — not his own — and his criminal actions for his own personal gain undermine the integrity of our public institutions,” said U.S. Attorney Kelly O. Hayes for the District of Maryland. “Public trust is a hallmark of our nation’s values, so corruption within a federal government agency is intolerable. This office, along with our law enforcement partners, will continue to pursue and prosecute corruption at every level to ensure accountability and protect public trust.”
“The guilty pleas reflect the FBI’s unwavering commitment to holding accountable all those who abuse the authority and responsibility of public service,” said Assistant Director Joe Perez of the FBI’s Criminal Division. “The actions of the defendants in this scheme serve to erode public trust. The FBI is focused on rebuilding this trust and protecting American taxpayers from corruption through investigations such as these.”
“Corruption in government programs will not be tolerated. Watson abused his position of trust for personal gain while federal contractors engaged in a pay-to-play scheme,” said Acting Assistant Inspector General for Investigations Sean Bottary of the USAID Office of Inspector General (USAID-OIG). “USAID-OIG is firmly committed to rooting out fraud and corruption within U.S. foreign assistance programs. Today’s announcement underscores our unwavering focus on exposing criminal activity, including bribery schemes by those entrusted to faithfully award government contracts. We appreciate our longstanding partnership with the Department of Justice in holding accountable those who defraud American taxpayers.”
“Watson exploited his position at USAID to line his pockets with bribes in exchange for more than $550 million in contracts. While he helped three company owners and presidents bypass the fair bidding process, he was showered with cash and lavish gifts,” said Chief Guy Ficco of IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI). “Through its financial crime investigations, IRS-CI works to protect taxpayer dollars and ensure government funds are awarded based on merit — not corruption. In close coordination with our law enforcement partners, IRS-CI helped put an end to their greed and criminal conduct. Now, Watson and his co-conspirators will face justice.”
Overview of Bribery Scheme
According to court documents, beginning in 2013, Watson, while a USAID contracting officer, agreed with Britt to receive bribes in exchange for using Watson’s influence to award contracts to Apprio. As a certified small business under the SBA 8(a) contracting program, which helps socially and economically disadvantaged businesses, Apprio could access lucrative federal contracting opportunities through set-asides and sole-source contracts exclusively available to eligible contractors without a competitive bid process.
Vistant was a subcontractor to Apprio on one of the contracts awarded through Watson’s influence. After Apprio graduated from the SBA 8(a) program and it was no longer eligible to be a prime contractor for new contracts with USAID under this program, the scheme shifted so that Vistant became the prime contractor and Apprio became the subcontractor on USAID contracts awarded through Watson’s influence between 2018 and 2022.
During the scheme, Britt and Barnes paid bribes to Watson that were often concealed by passing them through Young, who was the president of another subcontractor to Apprio and Vistant. Britt and Barnes also regularly funneled bribes to Watson, including cash, laptops, thousands of dollars in tickets to a suite at an NBA game, a country club wedding, down payments on two residential mortgages, cellular phones, and jobs for relatives. The bribes were also often concealed through electronic bank transfers falsely listing Watson on payroll, incorporated shell companies, and false invoices. Watson is alleged to have received bribes valued at more than approximately $1 million as part of the scheme.
In exchange for the bribe payments, Watson influenced the award of contracts to Apprio and Vistant by manipulating the procurement process at USAID through various means, including recommending their companies to other USAID decisionmakers for non-competitive contract awards, disclosing sensitive procurement information during the competitive bidding process, providing positive performance evaluations to a government agency, and approving decisions on the contracts, such as increased funding and a security clearance.
Apprio and Vistant also agreed to resolve concurrently with the Justice Department in its separate Civil False Claims Act investigations relating to the bribery scheme.
Overview of Vistant Securities Fraud Scheme
According to court documents, in 2022, Barnes and Watson defrauded a licensed small business investment company (SBIC), in furtherance of the bribery scheme, by inducing it into executing a credit agreement with Vistant. Through the credit agreement, Barnes caused Vistant to issue stock warrants that, if exercised, would result in the SBIC having a 40% equity stake in Vistant. The credit agreement also provided for a $14 million loan to Vistant from which Barnes could pay himself a $10 million dividend. Prior to executing the credit agreement, Watson agreed at Barnes’s request to speak with the SBIC about Vistant’s performance as a government contractor on USAID contracts. When speaking with the SBIC, Watson omitted that Barnes had bribed Watson to obtain USAID contracts for years. Watson’s endorsement of Vistant thereafter induced the SBIC to enter into the credit agreement with Barnes.
Overview of Apprio Securities Fraud Scheme
According to court documents, in 2023, Apprio, acting through Britt, engaged in a scheme in which Apprio fraudulently induced a private equity firm, which had an investment pool that was licensed as a SBIC, to purchase from Apprio’s parent company a 20% equity stake in the company for $4 million and simultaneously extend it a $4 million loan secured by shares of Apprio stock. In addition to making false material representations in the stock purchase and loan agreements, Britt intentionally omitted during his negotiations the material fact that he had bribed Watson for years, which was intended to deceive and induce the private equity company into executing the agreements.
Deferred Prosecution Agreements with Apprio and Vistant
The Justice Department reached its resolution with Apprio based on several factors, including Apprio’s credit for clearly accepting responsibility for its criminal conduct, fully cooperating in the investigation and engaging in timely remedial measures. Based on these factors, the criminal penalty calculated under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines reflects a 10% reduction off the bottom of the applicable Guidelines fine range pursuant to the Criminal Division Corporate Enforcement and Voluntary Self-Disclosure Policy (CEP). According to court documents, Apprio agreed that the appropriate criminal penalty based on the law and facts in its case is $51,673,185; however, Apprio also met its burden of establishing an inability to pay the criminal penalty sought. Based on the Justice Department’s independent analysis, it determined that paying a criminal penalty and civil settlement greater than $500,000 would substantially threaten the continued viability of Apprio. Accordingly, the Justice Department determined that the appropriate resolution of this case is a DPA and a payment of $500,000 in a civil settlement.
Similarly, the Justice Department reached its resolution with Vistant based on a number of factors, including Vistant’s credit for clearly accepting responsibility for its criminal conduct and cooperating with the investigation. Although Vistant’s cooperation was initially delayed and limited, Vistant began to fully cooperate thereafter. Vistant also received credit for engaging in timely remedial measures. Based on these factors, the penalty calculated under the Guidelines reflects a 5% reduction off the bottom of the applicable Guidelines fine range pursuant to the CEP. Vistant agreed that the appropriate criminal penalty based on the law and facts in its case is $86,407,740; however, Vistant also met its burden of establishing an inability to pay the criminal penalty sought. Based on the Justice Department’s independent analysis, it determined that paying a criminal penalty and civil settlement greater than $100,000 would substantially threaten the continued viability of Vistant. Accordingly, the Justice Department determined that the appropriate resolution of this case is a DPA and a payment of $100,000 in a civil settlement.
Watson is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 6, and faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison. Young is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 3 and faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison. Britt is scheduled to be sentenced on July 28 and faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison. Barnes is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 14 and faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison.

Ukrainian Nazis: a bigger problem than the media will ever acknowledge. (Credit: The Gateway Pundit)
The western media has been willingly blind to one of the worst-kept geopolitical secrets of our times: that the heroic ‘defenders of democracy’ in Ukraine are, in many cases, a bunch of Neo-Nazis running around unchecked.
The French premier newspaper Le Monde has just released the result of a 10-day investigation on the 3rd assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and to their ‘surprise’ and dismay found out that the militants go around openly and proudly wearing neo-Nazi symbols.
Of course, no one needed the Le Monde deep dive, since the information is readily available about the Nazi Azov Brigades and their heirs of the 3rd assault brigade.
And, what’s more, no one is hiding the fact that the Nazi collaborator and war criminal Stephan Bandera has been turned into a Ukrainian national hero.
“According to Le Monde, hundreds of servicemen of the 3rd Assault Brigade — the direct heirs of the Azov Regiment — continue to openly use Nazi symbols. The photo shows swastikas, greeting gestures, and SS emblems.
Despite the ‘reform’ and the formal inclusion of the brigade in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, radical symbols have not disappeared. Journalists note: this is not a matter of chance, but of a conscious choice – either based on ideological convictions or as a tool of intimidation.
On June 14, in Kiev, on the day of the ‘March of Equality’ [Gay Pride], radicals from the ‘Carpathian Sich’ held an alternative ‘March of Tradition’. Participants were captured on camera demonstrating a Nazi salute.”
Watch: Nazi salutes, swastikas, SS emblems… Le Monde Investigation on the 3rd assault brigade.

“Nazi salutes, swastikas, SS emblems… a video investigation by LeMonde on social media has identified several hundred worn by [350]🇺🇦soldiers. Among these… soldiers are 200 from the 3rd Assault Brigade, one of the elite units of the🇺🇦army.” pic.twitter.com/pjKu0aaXtM

Authorities reportedly have identified Vance Boelter as the top suspect in the killings of Democratic Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, as well as wounding Democratic Minnesota State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, on Saturday, according to The Associated Press.
Law enforcement believes that Vance Luther Boelter allegedly killed Hortman and her husband early Saturday morning before going on to shoot and seriously injure Democratic State Sen. John Hoffman of Minnesota and his wife, according to the AP.
Democratic Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz reportedly tapped Boelter in 2019 to serve on the Governor’s Workforce Development Board after having previously served on the Governor’s Workforce Development Council under former Democratic Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton, according to the New York Post.
Police said they encountered the shooter, who they reportedly believe to be Boelter, at Hortman’s home and exchanged fire before the individual managed to slip away. The individual who engaged law enforcement at the scene posed as a policeman in order to carry out the attacks on Hortman and Hoffman.
Police found “No Kings” signs in the suspect’s vehicle, and advised residents not to attend planned anti-Trump “No Kings” protests in a Facebook post. Walz stated that Hortman’s murder was a “politically-motivated assassination” during a Saturday news conference, and authorities said they have recovered a manifesto as well as a list of other targets.

The most terrifying finding was a deadly spike just 3 to 4 months after the final shot.
On June 15th, a group of brave Japanese truth seekers did what their government wouldn’t—they released a bombshell broadcast exposing vaccine data from over 18 million people.

Dr. Yasufumi Murakami isn’t just some fringe voice. He’s a respected professor at the Tokyo University of Science, where he serves as vice director at the Research Center for RNA Science.
He holds a Doctor of Pharmaceutical Science from the University of Tokyo and has authored over 100 scientific publications.
But when the data went public, things got deeply unsettling.

“..the more doses you get, the sooner you’re likely to die, within a shorter period…”
(…) Then came a graph that was impossible to ignore. It showed a clear pattern: the more vaccine doses a person received, the sooner they died after their final shot.
The title translates to: “Number of days from final vaccination to death and number of deaths.”
The note on the right reads: “As the number of vaccine doses increases, the peak in deaths appears sooner.”

EXCLUSIVE: @FBIDirectorKash & @FBIDDBongino: Expose the FBI and Gascón’s Konnech–CCP Election Software Cover-Up
Strong evidence shows that corrupt FBI officials and former LADA George Gascón deliberately concealed CCP infiltration of U.S. election systems—because exposing it would have politically benefited
@realDonaldTrump @Kash_Patel & @dbongino now have a rare opportunity: expose how deeply politicized the FBI became, remove CCP-controlled software from America’s elections, and finish an investigation that was already 90% complete before it was sabotaged.
At the center of the scandal is Konnech, a Michigan-based election software company secretly developed and financed by two Chinese firms—Jinhua Yulian Network and Jinhua Hongzheng Technology—under contract with China’s National People’s Congress and in partnership with state-owned giants like Huawei, China Telecom, China Unicom, China Mobile, and Lenovo.
Konnech’s flagship product, PollChief, is used to manage poll worker scheduling, equipment deployment, and logistics in major U.S. cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Detroit, Washington D.C., Fairfax County, and St. Louis.
In early 2021, @TrueTheVote’s Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips discovered that Konnech was storing the personally identifiable information (PII) of U.S. election workers, judges, and voters on servers in China. Using open-source tools like Binary Edge, they traced PollChief to Chinese IP addresses—where they found unsecured databases containing names, Social Security numbers, addresses, bank information, voter roll data, polling location schematics, provisional ballot serial numbers, and even passwords for voting machines.
They alerted FBI field offices in Detroit and San Antonio, where agents took the threat seriously and launched a 15-month counterintelligence investigation. But in April 2022—just before the release of Dinesh D’Souza’s 2000 Mules, a film on 2020 election fraud featuring True the Vote—FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C. intervened and flipped the investigation on its head.
Field agents warned Engelbrecht and Phillips that they, not Konnech, were now considered the threat. Two senior female FBI officials in Washington D.C. were reportedly preparing criminal charges against them rather than Konnech’s CEO Eugene Yu. Engelbrecht was warned she and Phillips might be prosecuted for accessing Konnech’s data on Chinese servers.
The FBI even tipped off Konnech about the investigation—compromising the case—and began circulating internal accusations that Phillips had committed cybercrimes, referring those allegations to the CIA and NSA. Phillips said their goal was to “Roger Stone” him—publicly smear and criminalize him as they had done to Trump allies.
In fear for their safety, a field agent advised Engelbrecht and Phillips to take the “nuclear option”—go public. On August 13, 2022, they did just that at The Pit, a closed-door briefing in Arizona with 200 cybersecurity experts, journalists, and election integrity investigators.
Two weeks later, Konnech sued them. In a stunning series of courtroom actions, Engelbrecht and Phillips were jailed and held in solitary confinement—until the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ordered their immediate release. The FBI stood by and let it happen. After their release, they published thousands of documents exposing Konnech’s ties to China. Within days, Konnech dropped the lawsuit.
Meanwhile, independent researchers quickly pieced together Eugene Yu’s background. Born in China, Jianwei Yu (于建伟) graduated from Zhejiang University in 1982 and worked for the CCP from 1983 to 1985 as a project manager in the Guangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone. He moved to the U.S. in 1986 to pursue an MBA at Wake Forest University.
In 2002, Yu founded Konnech. By November 2005, he had launched a Chinese subsidiary—Jinhua Yulian Network—funded and overseen by the CCP. That same year, he was profiled as an “overseas scholar” in a Chinese-language publication by the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) and the American Zhu Kezhen Education Foundation (AZKEF).
CAST is a formal CCP arm linking Chinese leadership with overseas scientists and technologists. AZKEF, where Yu served on the finance committee, flew U.S. researchers—including Harvard’s Charles Lieber—to Chinese universities. Lieber was later arrested for failing to disclose his ties to China’s Thousand Talents Plan, one of the CCP’s many programs that recruit foreign experts to encourage the illicit transfer of intellectual property back to China.
Konnech’s Chinese ties ran deep. It partnered with Michigan State University’s Confucius Institute, developed software in CCP-run tech parks, and directly served China’s National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
On January 25, 2006, Yu’s Chinese company was accepted into the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Jinhua Science and Technology Park—a CCP-controlled tech incubator. From that point on, Jinhua Yulian Network and Konnech, were financed, developed, and controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.
Just a month later, on February 25, 2006, Yu registered the domain yu-lian .cn for Jinhua Yulian Network using his Konnech email address (eyu@konnech .com). Archived versions of the company’s Chinese-language website show Yu praising “Comrade Jiang Zemin” and the Chinese Communist Party, while promoting Konnech’s software products used by the National People’s Congress, the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, Election Management Solutions Detroit, and U.S. Overseas Voters.
In December 2006, Konnech partnered with the Confucius Institute to build a Chinese communication platform called ChineseBrief .com. Yu registered CNBrief LLC, launched www.cnbrief .com, and displayed a banner in Chinese that translated to: “Chinese Brief – Overseas Chinese Network.”
Confucius Institutes are CCP-funded cultural centers embedded in Western universities that U.S. intelligence agencies and lawmakers have long warned operate under the direction of the CCP.
On July 18, 2007, an archived Chinese government website showed Yu offering a 5 million yuan (~$700,000 USD) software development contract on behalf of Jinhua Yulian Network, again using his Konnech email address and website.

Sir, I WAS in charge of election analysis and DID call it out. CIA and ODNI tried to cover up the evidence and when I wouldn’t go along with it, terminated me.
The newly declassified intelligence reports from August 2020 weren’t corroborated or fully investigated and instead were recalled from intelligence agencies at about the time that then-FBI Director Chris Wray testified there were no known plots of foreign interference ahead of the 2020 election in which Biden defeated Donald Trump, officials told Just the News.
The new documents were turned over to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who had first raised concerns to the bureau that the intelligence hadn’t been fully vetted, and instead was just dismissed even though there was evidence of the fake licenses.
“Thanks to the oversight work and partnership of Chairman Grassley, the FBI continues to provide unprecedented transparency at the people’s Bureau,” Patel told Just the News in a statement. “To that end, we have located documents Chairman Grassley requested, which detail alarming allegations related to the 2020 U.S. election.
“Specifically, these include allegations of plans from the CCP to manufacture fake driver’s licenses and ship them into the United States for the purpose of facilitating fraudulent mail-in ballots – allegations which, while substantiated, were abruptly recalled and never disclosed to the public,” Patel also said.
“In accordance with Chairman Grassley’s request for documents, I have immediately declassified the material and turned the document over to the Chairman for further review.”

For the sake of urgency I’m going to talk in direct and bold terms about the targeting of Tulsi Gabbard. The IC system is attempting to remove her as a disruptive influence by using Iran as a wedge to get her out, but the issue they have with Director Gabbard has nothing to do with Iran.
CTH approaches this after being very concerned about Tulsi Gabbard’s ability. Not because of intent, but rather we doubted her understanding of the scope of the IC opposition aligned against an effective Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Chairman Tom Cotton, the disassembled National Intelligence Council and a host of Intelligence Community embeds would like to see Gabbard removed. DC wants to see her removed because the traditional role of the DNI has been a willfully blind tool of the Intelligence Community; Gabbard is not that.
In the past few weeks, ever since she began intercepting the ICIG issues and using her own personnel to monitor the IC network, she has been targeted with several direct smear campaigns. It is obvious the targeting is coming from inside the intelligence apparatus, and perhaps even the orbit around/under CIA Director John Ratcliffe.
Tulsi Gabbard did make a strange video about nuclear weapons contrast against the horrific outcomes in Japan, but that seemed to be more of a personal video entry expressing a deep concern about nuclear weapons from her own perspectives. I said it was weird when I saw it, but I put that expression into the context of ‘surfboard Tulsi‘, the DNI peacenik. No biggie.
However, with the Israel -v- Iran conflict encompassing the White House, there is a transparent objective to weaponize Tulsi Gabbard’s activity as a contrast against President Trump supporting military conflict in Iran.
This contrast is being stimulated by the same elements who want to see her removed for the reasons noted above.
The latest narrative du jour in the files includes:
WASHINGTON DC – […] Trump has increasingly mused about nixing Gabbard’s office completely, an idea he floated when he gave her the job. In the White House there have been discussions about folding its mandate into the CIA or another agency, according to one of the people familiar with his response to the video and two others familiar with the matter — though it’s unclear what that would mean for Gabbard. The Director of National Intelligence serves as the president’s principal intelligence adviser and oversees the sprawling U.S. spy community. (link)
First, “nixing Gabbard’s office completely” is exactly what the bad elements of the Intelligence Community would love to see. Second, “folding its mandate into the CIA” is like a dream come true for the darkest elements of the IC and Senate enablers. And Third, “serves as the president’s principal intelligence adviser” is false. That’s the job of the National Security Advisor, Marco Rubio.
If there is one hope amid this looming and increasing drumbeat to remove her, it is that Marco Rubio likely can see exactly what the motives and intentions are from his former colleagues. The elements targeting DNI Gabbard all come from SSCI Chairman Marco Rubio’s old tribe.
SoS/NSA Rubio might save her, as too may Vice President JD Vance. Both of them are at the perfect distance to see the assembled drumbeat against Gabbard for what it is, a coordinated Intelligence Community operation. At least that is my hope.
I am not confident they will succeed removing her. However, what I am confident about is that if DNI Tulsi Gabbard is removed, she will not be replaced, and that’s as good as a win for the bad actors trying to target and survive Trump.
President Trump has no more juice or influence in the Senate. That time is over. Trump has exhausted all of the political capital he held in the upper chamber. Every Republican Senator now smiles, nods and does whatever the heck they want regardless of how it impacts President Trump. This is especially true for the SSCI who would control confirmation of a DNI replacement. They Republicans do not have to pretend any longer, Trump’s juice is gone.
If President Trump allows the Brutus crew in his orbit to isolate, ridicule and marginalize Tulsi Gabbard, he will be putting a significant part of his administration at risk. This is the Six Ways from Sunday crowd. (Read more: Conservative Treehouse, 6/18/2025)(Archive)

In Tulsi Gabbard’s testimony regarding Iran’s nuclear program, there are indications of selective reporting or misrepresentation about what she said.
In March 2025, Tulsi Gabbard, as Director of National Intelligence, testified before Congress that the U.S. intelligence community assessed Iran was not actively building a nuclear weapon and that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had not reauthorized the nuclear weapons program suspended in 2003.
She noted, however, that Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile was at unprecedented levels for a non-nuclear state and that public discussion of nuclear weapons in Iran had increased, potentially emboldening advocates within the regime.

President Trump’s public dismissal of Gabbard’s assessment in June 2025, claiming Iran was “very close” to a nuclear weapon, created a narrative divergence. Gabbard responded by asserting she and Trump were “on the same page.”

“Pres Trump was saying the same thing that I said in my annual threat assessment back in March. Unfortunately too many people in the media don’t care to actually read what I said”
On March 26, 2025, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard delivered opening remarks at a House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence hearing for the Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community. The complete opening statement is linked below and this is what she said about Iran:
Iran continues to seek to expand its influence in the Middle East, despite the degradation to its proxies and defenses during the Gaza conflict. Iran has developed and maintains ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and UAVs, including systems capable of striking U.S. targets and allies in the region. They’ve shown a willingness to use these weapons, including during a 2020 attack on US forces in Iraq and in attacks against Israel in April and October 2024. Iran’s cyber operations and capabilities also present a serious threat to U.S. networks and data. The IC continues to assess that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and Supreme leader Khomeini has not authorized the nuclear weapons program that he suspended in 2003. We continue to monitor closely if Tehran decides to reauthorize its nuclear weapons program. In the past year, we’ve seen an erosion of a decades long taboo in Iran on discussing nuclear weapons in public likely emboldening nuclear weapons advocates within Iran’s decision-making apparatus. Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile is at its highest levels and is unprecedented for a state without nuclear weapons. Iran will likely continue efforts to counter Israel and press for U.S. military withdrawal from the region by aiding, arming, and helping to reconstitute its loose consortium of like-minded terrorists, actors, which it refers to as its “Axis of Resistance.” Although weakened, this collection of actors still presents a wide range of threats including to Israel’s population, U.S. forces deployed in Iraq and Syria, as well as U.S. and international military and commercial shipping and transit.
The Democrat National Committee (DNC) is running out of money.
Some of the sources for their contributions have disappeared. It is estimated that annually $15 billion per year was laundered from USAID to non-profits and NGOs controlled by the Democrats.
This funded the lifestyles of thousands of left wing activists with salaries of $200,000 to $500,000. In turn, they would regularly make donations of thousands of dollars to Democrats in order to keep the fraud flowing.
Now that Trump and DOGE have ended that scam, this is starting to show up in Democrat fundraising numbers. Tens of thousands of their activist donors have lost their jobs which were funded by USAID.
The Democrat National Committee (DNC) is running out of money.
Some of the sources for their contributions have disappeared. It is estimated that annually $15 billion per year was laundered from USAID to non-profits and NGOs controlled by the Democrats.
Just months into the tenure of a new party leader, Ken Martin, the Democratic National Committee’s financial situation has grown so bleak that top officials have discussed whether they might need to borrow money this year to keep paying the bills.
Fund-raising from major donors — some of whom Mr. Martin has still not spoken with — has slowed sharply. At the same time, he has expanded the party’s financial commitments to every state, and even to far-flung territories like Guam.
(…) In an interview on Tuesday, Mr. Martin acknowledged that his early efforts to rebuild the party had been “overshadowed by some of this inside baseball stuff.” But he said he was bringing about meaningful change, pointing to increased investments in all 57 state parties, including the territories and Washington, D.C. He also noted that the D.N.C. was helping organize more than 100 town halls in Republican districts, carrying out an extensive 2024 postmortem and creating a war room to counter President Trump.
“I know there’s a lot of people that are carrying grudges, that are still litigating the campaign that their person didn’t win,” Mr. Martin said. “I am not one of those people. There’s no sense of living in the past. I have no enemies other than Donald Trump and the Republican Party.”
Six people briefed on the party’s fund-raising, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss its finances frankly, said big donors — who are an essential part of the party’s funding — had been very slow to give to the party this year as Mr. Martin solicits contributions. His commitment to state parties, which amounts to $1 million in monthly spending, has further strained the finances.
Senior D.N.C. officials have discussed the possibility of borrowing money in the coming months to keep the operations fully funded, according to two people with direct knowledge of the private discussions who insisted on anonymity. (Read more: New York Times, 6/18/2025)

We were in court this week for a hearing ordered by U.S. District Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan in our FOIA lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice for “Twitter Files” records concerning Hunter Biden’s laptop and other censorship. The only issue remaining in the lawsuit is the FBI’s continued hiding of records documenting two meetings between Twitter and the Biden FBI.
We filed the April 2023lawsuit against the Justice Department, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence after the FBI failed to respond to a December 2022 FOIA request for the records of any FBI official and key Twitter employees between June 2020 and December 2022 (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:23-cv-01163)).
The lawsuit references Yoel Roth, Vijaya Gadde, and Jim Baker, who were prominent in internal discussions at Twitter about censoring the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story, as journalist Matt Taibbi revealed in the December 2022 release of the “Twitter Files.”
It is frustrating beyond belief for us to have to go to federal court for basic information on Biden’s abuse of the FBI, using Twitter to censor and monitor Americans.
Earlier this year, FBI Director Kash Patel committed the FBI to a “new era” of transparency:
The FBI is entering a new era—one that will be defined by integrity, accountability, and the unwavering pursuit of justice. There will be no cover-ups, no missing documents, and no stone left unturned — and anyone from the prior or current Bureau who undermines this will be swiftly pursued. If there are gaps, we will find them. If records have been hidden, we will uncover them. And we will bring everything we find to the DOJ to be fully assessed and transparently disseminated to the American people as it should be. The oath we take is to the Constitution, and under my leadership, that promise will be upheld without compromise.
Through FOIA and other direct litigation, we continue to investigate and litigate the broad range of censorship that had been imposed upon tens of millions of Americans.
In November 2024, we uncovered records from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) revealing an extensive effort by government and non-government entities to monitor and censor social media posts on fraud during the 2020 election.
In June 2024, heavily redacted Homeland Security records from a Judicial Watch FOIA lawsuit showed state election officials in the days before and after the 2020 election flagging online content deemed “misinformation” and sending it to the Center for Internet Security (CIS), a DHS-funded nonprofit, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which is a division of DHS, the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP), which was created to flag online election content for censorship and suppression, and others.
In December 2023, Homeland Security records from the same lawsuit showed a close collaboration between its Cybersecurity and Information Security Agency (CISA) and the leftist Election Integrity Partnership (EIP) to engage in “real-time narrative tracking” on all major social media platforms in the days leading up to the 2020 election.
In November 2023, we uncovered Homeland Security records that showed the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) communicating during the 2020 election campaign with the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP). The CISA records showed government involvement in the EIP pressure on Google, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, Reddit and other platforms to censor “disinformation.”
In September 2022, we suedthe Secretary of State of the State of California for having YouTube censor a Judicial Watch election integrity video. In March 2025, Judicial Watch asked the Supreme Court of the United States to review the case.
In July 2021, we uncovered records from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which revealed that Facebook coordinated closely with the CDC to control the Covid narrative and “misinformation” and that over $3.5 million in free advertising was given to the CDC by social media companies.
In May 2021, we revealed documents showing that Iowa state officials pressured social media companies Twitter and Facebook to censor posts about the 2020 election.
In April 2021, records from the Office of the Secretary of State of California revealed how state officials pressured social media companies (Twitter, Facebook, Google (YouTube)) to censor posts about the 2020 election. Included in these records were “misinformation briefings” emails that were compiled by communications firm SKDK, which lists Biden for President as their top client of 2020. The records show how the state agency successfully pressured YouTube to censor a Judicial Watch video concerning mail-in voting and a Judicial Watch lawsuit settlement about California voter roll clean up.

Vance Boelter, 57, the suspect in the assassination and attempted assassination of Minnesota state lawmakers, made the claim that Governor Tim Walz instructed him to kill US Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) in order for the governor to run for her role in the Senate, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune.
The letter claims that he was trained by the US military unofficially, and that Walz told him to kill Klobuchar as well as other lawmaker, the outlet said, citing two sources familiar with the letter.
According to another report from Alpha News, citing multiple sources familiar with the investigation into Boelter and the shootings, said in a “confession letter” intended for FBI Director Kash Patel, Boelter confirmed that he was the “shooter at large in Minnesota involved in the 2 shootings.” (Read more: The Post Millennial, 6/20/2025)(Archive)
In a rambling, conspiratorial letter addressed to the FBI, alleged assassin Vance Boelter claimed Gov. Tim Walz instructed him to kill U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar so that Walz could run for the U.S. Senate, according to two people familiar with the contents of the letter.
The letter is the clearest evidence yet of Boelter’s mindset after the targeted violence against Minnesota politicians last week. It is incoherent, one and a half pages long, confusing and hard to read, according to two people familiar with the letter’s contents. It includes Boelter alleging he had been trained by the U.S. military off the books, and that Walz, who is not running for Senate, had asked him to kill Klobuchar and others.
(…) Klobuchar said in a statement Friday that, “Boelter is a very dangerous man and I am deeply grateful that law enforcement got him behind bars before he killed other people.”

Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist and former Columbia University graduate student, was released from ICE detention in Jena, Louisiana, on June 20, 2025.
The rally happened outside the Cathedral of St. John the Divine which is near Columbia University, NBC Newsreported on Monday.
Khalil, who is a graduate of Columbia, was arrested in March after leading radical protests on the campus, per Breitbart News. The article noted President Donald Trump had previously promised to deport foreign students fomenting anti-Semitic and anti-Israel protests on campuses.
While addressing the crowd, Khalil said, “Mahmoud Khalil is a human rights defender. Mahmoud Khalil is a freedom fighter. Mahmoud Khalil is a refugee. Mahmoud Khalil is a father and husband. And, above all, Mahmoud Khalil is Palestinian.”
Video footage shows him leading the chant, “Free, free Palestine!” as the crowd joined him:
Mahmoud Khalil is again leading antisemitic chants outside of Columbia University now that he was wrongly freed by an activist judge.
Khalil is a radical jihadist. So is his gross wife. They both need to be deported along with their child.

A federal judge recently issued a ruling that Khalil be released from ICE custody. The Breitbart News report said U.S. District Judge Michael E. Farbiarz, who was appointed by former President Joe Biden, had “previously rejected Khalil’s request to be released from ICE custody, explaining that he had ‘not put forward factual evidence as to why it might be unlawful to detain him’ regarding the charge that he reportedly omitted information on his green card application.”
Video footage appears to show his arrival back in New York City after his release accompanied by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY):
Look who personally accompanied anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil back to NYC.
Yes. AOC. The rising star of the Democratic party.

“This is breach of contract action against Mr. Biden for unpaid legal fees,” reads the complaint against Hunter filed in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia by Winston & Strawn LLP.
The lawsuit notes that Hunter, 55, hired Winston & Strawn “to represent him in several complex matters, including criminal trial in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware,” and that the firm provided him “with extensive legal services in those matters which generated a substantial amount of fees.”
Winston & Strawn claims Hunter has dodged the firm’s “repeated” efforts to collect those fees.
“Although a portion of those fees have been paid, Mr. Biden presently owes [Winston & Strawn] substantially in excess of $50,000 in fees and interest that are due and payable,” the complaint stated.
“Despite repeated requests for payment, Mr. Biden has failed to pay the amounts he owes.
(…) The firm said it “incurred substantial financial damages” because of Hunter’s alleged “breach of the Engagement Contract.”
Trump’s White House counsel sent a letter to Biden aide Neera Tanden this morning, as she appears before the House Oversight Committee amid a probe into Biden’s mental fitness as president — The letter argues that asserting executive privilege is “not justified” because of the nature of the allegations.

A top former aide to former President Joe Biden testified behind closed doors Tuesday for more than four hours as part of the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into his mental fitness to serve and his White House’s use of an autopen, confirming she was authorized to use the automatic signature device while pushing back on concerns about alleged manipulation or malfeasance.
Neera Tanden, who served as director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, explained in her opening remarks Tuesday that she was given authority to wield the autopen. She said she “was responsible for handling the flow of documents to and from the president” and was authorized to direct autopen use from October 2021 to May 2023 when she was serving as staff secretary and senior adviser to Biden.
Now, a crucial new detail has emerged regarding the closed-door testimony. According to an Oversight Project press release, Tanden would utilize the autopen without actually verifying from Biden himself that it was an authorized action. From the release:
“…she would send decision memos to Biden’s inner circle with no visibility of approval between sending the memo and receiving it back. Tanden’s testimony confirms that she affixed Biden’s signature onto presidential documents without direct knowledge that Biden authorized the given action.
“Given Biden’s clearly deteriorating condition and lack of capacity, it was incumbent on Tanden to actually confirm that Biden himself was capable of and actually making decisions. Instead, it appears that a close cabal of advisors were put between the autopen and the President.”
Oversight Project President Mike Howell joined Chanel Rion on OANN’s Fine Point to discuss the autopen scandal:
We’re going to learn that there were two types of people running the Biden White House.
The politburo where decisions were made and White House staff where decisions were implemented.
The Washington Examiner also reported yesterday that Tanden “was also authorized to direct that autopen signatures be affixed to certain categories of documents” and that the administration used the “system for authorizing the use of the autopen that [she] inherited from prior administrations” through her tenure as staff secretary.
President Trump earlier this month called the autopen saga “the biggest scandal outside the rigged 2020 election,” saying that he wasn’t a “big autopen person, fortunately.” President Trump added that the autopen is used when you get “thousands of letters from…people all over the country” and that is where the autopen “starts and stops.”
President Trump said that Biden “was never for open borders…transgender for everybody…men playing in women’s sports…frankly, I said it during the debate and I say it now, he didn’t have much of an idea what was going on.”
In January 2021, President Trump prophesized that, “The 25th Amendment is of zero risk to me, but will come back to haunt Joe Biden and the Biden administration. As the expression goes, be careful what you wish for.”
Howell would go on to discuss the 25th Amendment with Rion:
Kamala Harris and the Biden Cabinet abdicated their duty to invoke the 25th Amendment, Section 4.
They knew Joe Biden was incapacitated but preferred it.

She is the top elections enforcement official in the Civil Division at the Trump/Bondi Department of Justice.
She has spent nearly her entire professional career at the Department of Justice. Lawyers close to the Department of Justice tell the Gateway Pundit that she’s now the “top dog” for election crimes.
From 2021-2025, Riordan worked for the Public Interest Legal Foundation, which sues states to clean up their voter files. She spent a year in Charlottesville, Virginia filing less than a dozen cases against illegal immigrants for the government. She also prosecuted a man in Virginia for possession of marijuana in the Shenandoah National Park.
This past week, Riordan, according to DOJ sources, has been giving talking points as to why election crimes will not be prosecuted under the second Trump administration. DC Attorneys involved have relayed what Riordan is telling people around town: actual election integrity is impossible.
Riordan’s two main excuses for not prosecuting these crimes herself are obviously lies. She has told attorneys that she lacks data analysts and doesn’t have “a data guy” to review election data for irregularities and systemic fraud, and that loopholes in current law prevent her from investigating voter fraud anyway.
This is the reason, she says, why she cannot prosecute the obvious systemic voter fraud documented in states like Arizona, Georgia, and Michigan.
Riordan complains that she has “no data people” that she has access to, so she can’t effectively investigate election fraud from 2020 or 2024.
(…) Bill Bruch, who publishes a popular Substack on election integrity efforts in Washington State, “All Things Politics,” told the Gateway Pundit in response: “It’s concerning to hear that the Department of Justice doesn’t have a ‘data guy’ especially when I have five great ones, and IT specialists focused on election integrity whom I have worked with for years, that I could refer to them if DOJ asked. There are a lot of great expert people doing this work as volunteers, with solid resumes and credentials. I just can’t imagine that the nation’s central law enforcement agency can’t figure this out. Washington State was one of the first to use vote-by-mail, so we have seen the many methods they have used to cheat elections.”
Luckily for Riordan though, the Gateway Pundit has done her work for her, and can point her to the many data analysts nationwide who could assist her in this effort.
In fact, most of the data analysis has already been done. She doesn’t even need her own ‘data guy.’
The Gateway Pundit has years worth of archives that she could peruse that could give her the legal ‘reasonable grounds’ to open an investigation. The ‘reasonable grounds’ standard is the most common threshold for opening civil investigations, lower than “probable cause” which is the criminal standard, and similar to a “credible allegation” or “factual basis” suggesting a legal violation.
The Gateway Pundit also conducted an interview alongside another group in the fall of 2024 with Tom Davis, a retired Michigan data analyst who wrote a report on data irregularities in the 2020 election along with John Droz. The review of this data shows impossible irregularities in absentee ballot data where there is a correlation between the percentage of the vote that Republican and Democrat candidates receive from absentee ballots, by precinct.
The full interview with “data guy” Tom Davis is below.
John Droz also wrote data reports along with many other ‘data guys’ of which Tom Davis was one, after the 2020 elections looking into voting irregularities in swing states. His reports have never been challenged.
Riordan also claims that the Help American Vote Act (“HAVA”) of 2002 is essentially without any effective enforcement sections, rendering her impotent to bring cases about voter fraud. She claims that her only power to enforce the law rests in TItle three of the act.
Title III sets mandatory requirements for voting systems, provisional ballots, and centralized voter registration databases, and under Section 209 of HAVA, the Attorney General has the authority to bring civil actions in federal court to ensure state compliance. These lawsuits typically seek declaratory or injunctive relief to force states to correct deficiencies—such as failing to implement accessible voting machines, mishandling provisional ballots, or neglecting to establish a statewide voter database. Unlike private individuals, who must follow the more limited and procedural pathways outlined in Title IV, the DOJ can act directly to compel corrective action, often through consent decrees or court orders. This enforcement mechanism allows the federal government to maintain baseline election integrity and uniformity across states that accept HAVA funding.
DOJ sources tell the Gateway Pundit that in meetings, Riordan also deflects responsibility to prominent DOJ officials Ed Martin and Mack Warner. Martin and Warner, election integrity advocates suspect, are being set up to be the public face of fighting for election integrity, and are being set up to fail. The actual deep state complex within ‘main Justice’, which is what the Department of Justice calls itself, the deep state actually in control of the machinery of the Department are completely disinterested in pursuing the credible claims of voter fraud.

Jill Biden and “work husband” Anthony Bernal (Credit: Kevin Dietrich/Getty Images)l
A top aide who worked in former President Joe Biden’s administration has been slapped with a subpoena by House Republicans for an alleged cover-up of Biden’s cognitive decline during his time in the White House.
Anthony Bernal was a senior aide to Biden and some called him former first lady Jill Biden’s “work husband,” the New York Postreported Thursday.
Bernal on Wednesday told the House Oversight Committee he would not sit for a transcribed interview about the allegations.
“Bernal had been slated to appear on Thursday but pulled out after the Trump White House counsel’s office informed former Domestic Policy Council director Neera Tanden, who gave evidence Tuesday, that she wouldn’t be granted executive privilege,” the Post article said.
House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Chairman James Comer (R-KY) issued the subpoena, according to Fox News.
In a letter to Bernal on Thursday, Comer stated:
Given your close connection with both former President Biden and former First Lady Jill Biden, the Committee sought to understand if you contributed to an effort to hide former President Biden’s fitness to serve from the American people. You have refused the Committee’s request. However, to advance the Committee’s oversight and legislative responsibilities and interests, your testimony is critical.
He added that leadership “seeks information about your assessment of and relationship with former President Biden to explore whether the time has come for Congress to revisit potential legislation to address the oversight of presidents’ fitness to serve pursuant to its authority under Section 4 of the Twenty-Fifth Amendment or to propose changes to the Twenty-Fifth Amendment itself.”
In May, a Breitbart News article said Project Veritas undercover video footage revealed former Democrat National Convention (DNC) vice chair and gun control activist David Hogg accusing Bernal of running the White House. (Read more: Breitbart News, 6/26/2025)(Archive)

Following a years-long surge in illegal immigration, the Trump administration is poised to challenge a longstanding but legally fraught practice: counting illegal aliens in the U.S. census.
President Trump tried to end the practice during his first term, but President Biden overturned his predecessor’s policy before it was implemented. Now, buoyed by red state attorneys general and Republican legislators, the second Trump administration is determined “to clean up the census and make sure that illegal aliens are not counted,” White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller said last month.
What Miller didn’t mention are the political implications of the administration’s move. It could have significant political implications because the census count is used to apportion House seats, determine the number of votes each state gets in the Electoral College for selecting the president, and drive the flow of trillions of dollars in government funds.
Some immigration researchers project that including noncitizens in the census count disproportionately benefits Democratic states with large illegal alien populations. A recent study counters that, based on 2020 census figures, there would have been a negligible shift to the political map had the U.S. government excluded noncitizens from that count. But looking backward, those researchers found, red states would have benefited under the administration’s desired census counting shift. Had authorities excluded such migrants from the 2010 census, Louisiana, Missouri, Montana, Ohio and North Carolina all would have gained one seat in the House, while California would have lost three seats, and Texas and Florida would have each lost one seat – with the total number of Electoral College votes allotted each state changing accordingly.
Since the first census in 1790, the nation has counted not only citizens but also residents to determine such representation. In addition to citing its long history, defenders of the practice say it is only fair that states should be given the power and resources to represent and serve everyone within their borders.
Critics contend the government’s powers come from “We the people” – citizens or eligible voters – a government established before tens of millions of migrants resided in the country illegally. They also say the practice dilutes the representation of American citizens while incentivizing localities to promote illegal immigration.
Trump’s first term hints at what is to come if his administration vigorously pursues a citizen-centric census policy. In July 2020, when the president issued a memorandum to exclude illegal migrants from the census, blue states and immigration groups challenged it in court almost immediately.
Those challenges rose all the way to the Supreme Court. But it did not rule on the merits – whether all residents must be counted and if the president has the authority to exclude nonresidents – setting the stage for a battle over immigration and presidential power.
The Meaning of the 14th Amendment
The census issue hinges on the Constitution’s language, which calls for apportioning House seats among the states “according to their respective Numbers.” Those “Numbers” originally included “free Persons” and “three-fifths of all other Persons” – namely slaves, a result of the states’ compromise. The framers excluded “Indians not taxed” – Native Americans who were members of sovereign tribal nations, not citizens – from the count.
After the Civil War, Congress passed the 14th Amendment to recognize the rights of the formerly enslaved. It states that congressional representation “shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State,” again excluding Indians not taxed. Under the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, this population would be granted citizenship.
Congress tasked the secretary of commerce with carrying out the census “in such form and content as he may determine.” The president receives that data, is responsible for carrying out the apportionment calculations, and transmits the information to Congress.
Echoing arguments against birthright citizenship, critics on the right say that the 14th Amendment aimed to address the status of former slaves, not masses of illegal migrants. They assert that including this population in the census artificially skews political power, effectively disenfranchises citizens, and incentivizes states to adopt sanctuary policies protecting people here illegally.
“…[R]espect for the law and protection of the integrity of the democratic process warrant the exclusion of illegal aliens from the apportionment base, to the extent feasible and to the maximum extent of the President’s discretion under the law,” President Trump wrote in the 2020memorandum.
The first Trump administration argued that the “persons in each State” that the 14th Amendment refers to had long been interpreted to mean “inhabitants.” Inhabitants, it asserted, do not include “every individual physically present within a State’s boundaries at the time of the census,” noting that past administrations had excluded temporary aliens and foreign diplomatic personnel for apportionment.
The administration also argued that the Constitution and relevant law authorize the executive branch to determine who is to be counted as an inhabitant in the census. The president, therefore, had discretion to omit “persons with debatable ties to a State,” like “aliens living within a jurisdiction without the sovereign’s permission to settle there.”
The administration pointed to Franklin v. Massachusetts to support its claims.There, the Supreme Court held that the President George H.W. Bush administration could include Defense Department employees deployed overseas in the census. Then, the Court found that the president’s duties in the census process are not solely “ceremonial or ministerial,” and that federal law “does not curtail the President’s authority to direct the [Commerce] Secretary in making policy judgments that result in ‘the decennial census.’”
In testimony at the Democrat-led July 2020 House Oversight Committee hearing on the Trump memorandum, Republicans tabbed the head of the Claremont Institute’s Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, John Eastman, to defend it. The conservative legal scholar, much-maligned by the left for the counsel he provided President Trump regarding challenging the 2020 election, recently told RealClearInvestigations that the Declaration of Independence’s “consent principle” – the concept that government derives its power from the American people – “compels that only citizens be counted for purposes of reapportionment,” and that the principle “is actually codified in the Constitution by excluding ‘Indians not taxed.’” In Eastman’s view, that language signifies that the founders sought to omit “those who are not part of our political community, from the apportionment for representation.”
“President Trump would be on solid ground, therefore, were he to direct that the census either not count illegal aliens at all, or at the very least record citizenship status so that a proper apportionment of citizens could be conducted,” Eastman said.
The plaintiffs challenging the Trump administration contended that the 14th Amendment’s “persons” includes all residents irrespective of their immigration status; that the president lacked the discretion to deem otherwise; and that the process the administration had put in place to exclude illegal aliens was legally deficient. The president had issued a July 2019directive in advance of his memo instructing the Census Bureau to collect citizenship data from various federal agencies, which would have been used to exclude illegal aliens from the apportionment count, raising additional legal questions.
Testifying opposite Eastman at the committee hearing, former Census Bureau directors warned that the president’s memo would spook potential respondents and suggested the memo would minimally create the appearance of politicizing the census.
Trump’s action reflected an “illegal desire of only counting citizens,” said Vincent Barabba, former Census Bureau director under the Nixon, Ford, and Carter administrations. “[H]is real objective…is to make sure less people will be counted in states with large minority populations which did not support President Trump or the positions he has taken.”
When litigation over the Trump census policy reached the Supreme Court, it punted. In December 2020, the justices held by a 6-3 margin in Trump v. New York that the plaintiffs lacked standing, and that the case was not ripe for adjudication – with Justices Steven Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan dissenting.
Upon taking office, President Biden issued a first-day executive order revoking both of Trump’s policies. Excluding people based on their immigration status “conflict[s] with the principle of equal representation enshrined in our Constitution, census statutes, and historical tradition,” Biden wrote. “Reapportionment shall be based on the total number of persons residing in the several States, without regard for immigration status.”
States Provide a Backup Plan
The first Trump administration lost a related case at the Supreme Court. In 2018, the administration reinstated a question on the decennial survey about the citizenship status of respondents – a move that likewise came under furious legal challenge.
The Commerce Department stated that it reinstated the question at the behest of the Justice Department, which was seeking superior data on voting-age citizens necessary to enforce the Voting Rights Act. Critics sued the administration, saying that including the question, which administrations had dropped after 1960, would chill immigrant respondents, leading to an unconstitutional undercount.
In June 2019, the justices found that while reinstating such a question was legal, the process by which the president sought to do so was invalid, since the Commerce Department’s rationale for including it was “contrived” and “pretextual” – in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act.
If the second Trump administration fails to win court approval of its expected effort to exclude illegal migrants, this time around, it will have backup.
Three days before Trump’s second inauguration, Louisiana, Kansas, Ohio, and West Virginia sued the Commerce Department, arguing that its prevailing practice of counting foreigners including illegal aliens at their place of “‘usual residence…’ robb[ed] the people of the Plaintiff States of their rightful share of political representation, while systematically redistributing political power to states with high numbers of illegal aliens and nonimmigrant aliens.”
They want the federal court, among other things, to vacate this “Residence Rule” to the extent it requires the Census Bureau to “include illegal aliens and nonimmigrant aliens in the apportionment base.” And they want to require the Census Bureau to include questions on the survey about citizenship, including one to determine whether non-citizen respondents are lawful permanent residents.
In March, the federal court stayed the case at the Trump administration’s request. The administration said it needed time “to determine its approach to the Residence Rule.” The White House and states plan to provide a joint status update on July 1.
The Justice and Commerce Departments did not respond to RCI’s requests for comment.
Republicans Seek a Legislative Fix
In the interim, Congress has acted. During the last session, Republican members introduced the Equal Representation Act, requiring the census to include a citizenship question and exclude all non-citizens from the census count for apportionment.
Democrats panned the bill, with the then-ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, Jamie Raskin, writing in a minority report that “The plain reading of the [constitutional] text is clear as day, and the original purposes have been carefully articulated and never rebutted. For those who like to follow precedent, every apportionment since 1790 has included every single person residing in the United States, not just those lucky enough to have been given the right to vote.”
In 2016, the Supreme Court held that a state or locality may draw legislative districts based on total population, irrespective of the fact that some districts may have significantly larger voter-eligible populations than others.
Writing for the majority, the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said that “we need not and do not resolve whether…States may draw districts to equalize voter-eligible population rather than total population.”
Fifty years prior, the Court held that Hawaii could use a registered-voter population base for its apportionment of state legislative seats due to the “large concentrations of military and other transients” in key population center Oahu.
In May 2024, the House passed the Equal Representation Act on a largely party-line vote, but it failed to advance in the Senate.
The current House reintroduced the bill by North Carolina Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards. He told RealClearInvestigations that “Americans deserve fair and equal representation, something that will not be possible until we eliminate the influence of noncitizens in our elections.”
The bill must first move through the Oversight Committee, chaired by Kentucky GOP Rep. James Comer. He told RCI that “American citizens’ representation in Congress should not be determined by individuals who are not citizens of the United States.”
Comer said his committee plans to move the bill again during this congressional session.
The states suing the Commerce Department are adamant that their view should prevail irrespective of legislative action.
Christopher Hajec, Director of Litigation at the Immigration Reform Law Institute – a legal nonprofit opposed to “unchecked mass migration” that is representing Kansas in the pending states’ suit – told RCI that “Whatever Congress does or does not do, our position is that the Constitution implies that illegal aliens should not be counted in the census for apportionment.”

A bombshell new CIA review of the Obama administration’s spy agencies’ assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election to help Donald Trump was deliberately corrupted by then-CIA Director John Brennan, FBI Director James Comey and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, who were “excessively involved” in its drafting, and rushed its completion in a “chaotic,” “atypical” and “markedly unconventional” process that raised questions of a “potential political motive.”
Further, Brennan’s decision to include the discredited Steele dossier, over the objections of the CIA’s most senior Russia experts, “undermined the credibility” of the assessment.
The “Tradecraft Review of the 2016 Intelligence Community Assessment [ICA] on Russian Election Interference” was conducted by career professionals at the CIA’s Directorate of Analysis and was commissioned by CIA Director John Ratcliffe in May.
The “lessons-learned review” found that, on December 6, 2016, six weeks before his presidency ended, Barack Obama ordered the assessment, which concluded that Russian President Vladimir Putin “aspired” to help Trump win the election.
The review identified “multiple procedural anomalies” that undermined the credibility of the ICA, including “a highly compressed production timeline, stringent compartmentation, and excessive involvement of agency heads.”
It also questioned the exclusion of key intelligence agencies and said media leaks may have influenced analysts to conform to a false narrative of Trump-Russia collusion.
“The rushed timeline to publish both classified and unclassified versions before the presidential transition raised questions about a potential political motive behind the White House tasking and timeline.”
The review found that Brennan directed the compilation of the ICA, and that his, Comey’s and Clapper’s “direct engagement in the ICA’s development was highly unusual in both scope and intensity” and ”risked stifling analytic debate.”
Brennan handpicked the CIA analysts to compile the ICA and involved only the ODNI, CIA, FBI and NSA, excluding 13 of the then-17 intelligence agencies.
He sidelined the National Intelligence Council and forced the inclusion of the discredited Steele dossier despite objections of the authors and senior CIA Russia experts, so as to push a false narrative that Russia secured Trump’s 2016 victory.
“This was Obama, Comey, Clapper and Brennan deciding ‘We’re going to screw Trump,’” said Ratcliffe in an exclusive interview.
“It was, ‘We’re going to create this and put the imprimatur of an IC assessment in a way that nobody can question it.’ They stamped it as Russian collusion and then classified it so nobody could see it.
“This led to Mueller [special counsel Robert Mueller’s inquiry, which concluded after two years that there was no Trump-Russia collusion]. It put the seal of approval of the intelligence community that Russia was helping Trump and that the Steele dossier was the scandal of our lifetime. It ate up the first two years of his [Trump’s first] presidency.
“You see how Brennan and Clapper and Comey manipulated [and] silenced all the career professionals and railroaded the process.”
ACTBLUE MUST FACE CONGRESS AFTER MASSIVE FRAUD & FOREIGN ELECTION FUNDING DOJ PROBE. ActBlue officials have been subpoenaed and are now legally obligated to testify before Congress over years of enormous fraud regarding their fundraising platform directly connected to the Democratic Party.
They are alleged to have been laundering money through ActBlue for years using unaware American citizens’ personal information in an attempt to cover up the illegal donations, especially coming from foreign nations.
Biden’s Treasury Secretary stonewalled Congress refusing to release ActBlue information, the top seven executives at ActBlue resigned as billions of taxpayer dollars in small dollar donations to ActBlue coming from USAID to Democrat-aligned NGOs began to disappear.
Pam Bondi has also been ordered by President Trump to investigate ActBlue. One person summoned is a current senior workflow specialist, and the other is the former VP of customer service, Alyssa Twomey, per NYP.
Are you starting to understand how these illegal operations steal and launders your taxpayer dollars and hides foreign money and why USAID and all these front companies and NGOs were so important?
And it’s all being used to undermine the American citizens, their interests, and the United States in general all while using your own taxpayer dollars and information to cover it all up, steal elections, destroy the country, and enrich themselves.
This isn’t politics. This is a literal criminal enterprise disguised as a government organization.

Linda Sun Falsified Information to Cause Approval of NYS Contracts Awarded to Businesses Operated by her Family Member and her Husband
BROOKLYN, NY – A federal grand jury in Brooklyn yesterday returned a second superseding indictment that added charges against Linda Sun and her husband and co-defendant Chris Hu related to a fraudulent scheme involving procurement of personal protective equipment (PPE) by the New York State (NYS) government at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the scheme, Sun steered contracts to vendors with whom she had undisclosed personal connections, and she and Hu received millions of dollars from the vendors, including some in the form of kickbacks, which Sun did not disclose to the NYS government. The new charges against Sun and Hu include honest services wire fraud, honest services wire fraud conspiracy, bribery, and conspiracy to defraud the United States. Additionally, Hu is charged with tax evasion. The defendants will be arraigned on Monday, June 30, 2025.
Joseph Nocella, Jr., United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York; Christopher G. Raia, Assistant Director in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office (FBI); and Harry T. Chavis, Jr., Special Agent in Charge, Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI New York), announced the new charges.
“As alleged, Linda Sun not only acted as unregistered agent of the government of the People’s Republic of China, but also enriched herself to the tune of millions of dollars when New York State was at its most vulnerable at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic,” stated United States Attorney Nocella. “When masks, gloves, and other protective supplies were hard to find, Sun abused her position of trust to steer contracts to her associates so that she and her husband could share in the profits. We demand better from our public servants, and this Office will continue to hold accountable public officials who enrich themselves at the expense of the New York taxpayers.”
(…) “During a global pandemic, Linda Sun allegedly leveraged her authority within the New York State government to secretly steer contracts to selective PPE vendors in exchange for millions of dollars in kickbacks to her and her husband,” stated FBI Assistant Director in Charge Raia. “This alleged scheme not only created an unearned and undisclosed benefit for the defendants and their relatives, but it also exploited the state’s critical need for resources in a health crisis. The FBI will never tolerate any public official who abuses their position to profit at the expense of others, especially when their objectives align with foreign agendas.”
“Not only did Sun allegedly use Chinese money and her influence in New York State to benefit the Chinese government, it is further alleged that she used her position to steer multi-million-dollar contracts to companies controlled by family members and friends. With this investigation, this husband-and-wife team with supposed ties to corruption has been rooted out, and they will soon understand that in legitimate government spending, there is no friends and family discount,” stated IRS-CI New York Special Agent in Charge Chavis.
As alleged in the superseding indictment, at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic and while working with the team of NYS government employees responsible for obtaining PPE, Sun used her position of influence with the government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to coordinate the NYS government’s purchase of PPE from vendors located in the PRC. In addition to certain vendors referred by the PRC government, Sun referred two vendors (the Cousin Company and the Associate Company) that were not recommended by the PRC government but rather had ties to Sun and Hu, while claiming falsely that these, too, were referrals from components of the PRC government. In reality, the Cousin Company was operated by one of Sun’s second cousins, and the Associate Company was operated by Hu and one of Hu’s business associates. With Sun’s assistance, the Cousin Company and the Associate Company each entered into multiple contracts with the NYS government worth millions of dollars apiece.
Sun, the Associate Company, and the Cousin Company did not disclose to the NYS government (1) the fact that Sun and Hu had relationships with the Associate Company and the Cousin Company, or (2) that Sun and Hu received a portion of the profits that the Associate Company and the Cousin Company made as a result of their contracts with the NYS government for PPE, including through kickback payments from the Cousin Company.
To conceal her relationship with the Cousin Company from procurement authorities at the NYS government, Sun falsified a document to suggest that the Jiangsu Department of Commerce had recommended the Cousin Company. On or about March 20, 2020, Sun and other NYS government officials received an email from the U.S. representative to the Jiangsu Trade & Business Representative Office in Albany, New York suggesting four PRC-based vendors who were able to provide PPE for the NYS government. On or about March 21, 2020, Sun forwarded herself an altered version of the email in which she replaced the first suggested vendor—a vendor that produced ventilators—with the Cousin Company and wrote that the Cousin Company was recommended by the Jiangsu Department of Commerce.
On or about March 24, 2020, in an email with the subject line “Already VERIFIED by Linda Sun,” Sun wrote to NYS procurement officials that the Cousin Company “came recommended by Jiangsu Chamber of Commerce,” that the representative had helped “screen potential vendors,” and that the Cousin Company’s surgical mask was the “gold standard.” Below Sun’s message was what purported to be quoted text from the Jiangsu Chamber of Commerce’s email recommending vendors. However, the email in the quoted text was the altered email.
In connection with the Cousin Company contracts with the NYS government, a spreadsheet maintained on Sun and Hu’s personal computer indicated that the Cousin provided payments to Hu (and Sun) totaling approximately $2.3 million during 2020 and 2021. These kickbacks from the Cousin Company represented taxable income. Hu did not report these payments as income to the U.S. government, as required, or pay taxes on this income in Forms 1040 for 2020 and 2021 that he filed on behalf of himself and Sun.
In part, Hu laundered the income from the Cousin Company by having the Cousin make $1.5 million in payments in three $500,000 increments from another entity that the Cousin owned (the Cousin Entity) to U.S. accounts at a financial institution. Hu created these accounts in a close relative’s name instead of his own on April 29, 2020, two days before the final $6 million payment from NYS government to the Cousin Company.
Sun also arranged for the Associate Company to be a vendor for NYS government contracts. On March 14, 2020, Sun wrote an email with the subject “Mask suppliers” to other members of the NYS government PPE task force with procurement authority and listed the Associate Company as a potential supplier. Sun subsequently communicated with the Associate Company by email to obtain a price quote for the contract and provided a status update to the NYS government about the contracts with the Associate Company.
A computer owned by the defendants contained a NYS internal document tracking various state PPE contracts, broken out by vendor. One of the fields in the document contained, for each company, an answer to the question “why did we do business with this vendor?” For the Associate Company, the answer to the question was listed as: “referred by Chinese chamber of commerce.” However, there was no such referral for the Associate Company.
According to a spreadsheet found in one of Hu’s electronic accounts, the total profits Hu expected to reap from the contracts that the Associate Company and the Cousin Company had with the NYS Department of Health totaled $8,029,741. Hu marked the column for these expected profits with the word “me.”
The new charges are in addition to the existing charges against Sun, which include violating and conspiring to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act, visa fraud, alien smuggling, and money laundering, and the existing charges against Hu, which include money laundering conspiracy, money laundering, as well as conspiracy to commit bank fraud and misuse of means of identification. The charges in the superseding indictment are allegations and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
The government’s case is being handled by the Office’s National Security and Cybercrime Section. Assistant United States Attorneys Alexander A. Solomon, Robert M. Pollack, and Amanda Shami are in charge of the prosecution, with the assistance of Trial Attorney Eli Ross from the National Security Division’s Counterintelligence and Export Control Section and Litigation Analyst Emma Tavangari. Assistant U.S. Attorney Laura Mantell of the Office’s Asset Recovery Section is handling forfeiture matters. (Justice.gov, 6/26/2025)(Archive)
An identity theft investigation led to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) workplace raid at a fire equipment factory in North Carolina on Wednesday. The operation led to the arrest of at least 30 people, according to a local news report.
ICE Homeland Security Investigations special agents and deputies with the U.S. Marshals Service conducted a workplace enforcement operation at the Buckeye Fire Equipment Company in King Mountain, North Carolina, on Wednesday. The operation followed an investigation by the HSI into allegations of identity theft.
ICE officials told Queen City News they visited the plant as part of an investigation into identity theft and other crimes.
“Allegations of identity theft and you should take seriously. Would you want your identities used for someone else to work or do whatever they’re going to do with them? So its a serious federal crime,” ICE spokesman Lindsay Williams told the local news outlet. “There have been some folks detained where somewhere in the dozen or so range, but that number may increase as we continue.”
Officials later confirmed they had placed at least 30 people into custody. They expect that number to increase as the investigation continues. (Read more: Breitbart News, 6/26/2025)(Archive)
Well, CNN is at the center of yet another fake news hoax. What number is this now? Honestly, too many to count. But this latest stunt is especially egregious because it involves our national security.
So what happened?
CNN ran a bogus story claiming that President Trump’s highly successful military strikes barely dented Iran’s nuclear program and only set them back “a few months.” The goal was obvious: downplay the operation and spin it as a failure.
But here’s the problem: that claim completely contradicted the official military assessment, which stated the strikes were a resounding success.
Senator Rubio and Pete Hegseth shredded the media and the likely leakers for pushing a false narrative that not only undermines President Trump but also puts US national security at risk.
Watch these two powerful clips:

Hegseth SHAMES the media for reporting on a leaked “preliminary” “low confidence” report in an attempt to cast doubt on the success of U.S. strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities 👏👏👏 pic.twitter.com/upmwztr1WQ
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is launching a probe into a Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) report leaked to CNN assessing damage from President Donald Trump’s strikes on Iran, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Wednesday.
Now here’s where the story takes a turn. Enter Natasha Bertrand… CNN’s Pentagon and national security correspondent. But she’s a lot more than that.
Bertrand has been called a Deep State mouthpiece and a key player in pushing the Russia hoax, the infamous “pee tape” lie, and a long list of other intelligence-backed psy-ops, like the Hunter Biden laptop coverup and the “51 spies who lied.” But now, she’s got a new gig. Ms. Bertrand is the alleged leaker.
@PressSec: “We have seen this playbook run before… leaked bits and pieces of an intel assessment to push a false narrative. And it’s to the same reporter, I will add —

Dem leaders quickly fell in line, backing up the bogus story:
I read key intelligence and sat in a classified briefing today on the Iran strikes.
I cannot share the details. But I can share this: Trump did not “obliterate” their program. He likely set it back months, not years; leaving diplomacy – once again – as the only real path. pic.twitter.com/AWLERf3yMe
Well, now we know. The so-called “assessment” being passed around was junk—completely lacking in credibility. It was never going to be officially published because it wouldn’t hold up under real scrutiny.
Which means the only way this fake narrative could see the light of day was to leak it straight to the regime’s favorite cable news source: CNN.
That’s exactly why it landed in Natasha Bertrand’s lap. No ethical journalist would touch it. But she would, and that’s what makes Natasha the Deep State Darling that she is.
Journalist Molly Hemingway called out just how flimsy this so-called report really was.
I’ll add that multiple knowledgeable sources tell me the intel assessment being bandied about specifically notes it was done the day after the strike, needs weeks’ more analysis, was not done in conjunction with other intel agencies, and was given a low confidence rating. pic.twitter.com/psNEhnceNq
But again, this shouldn’t surprise anybody, since Natasha is the Deep State’s go-to girl. And speaking of that, take a look at this reel, highlighting Natasha’s biggest fake news hits:

A Pulitzer-Prize winning Washington Post journalist was arrested and charged with possession of child porn, DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro announced Friday.
Thomas Pham LeGro, 48, was arrested on Thursday after FBI agents discovered 11 videos of child sexual abuse material on his work laptop during a raid, Pirro’s office says, adding that they also found fractured pieces of a hard drive in his hallway, and seized several electronic devices.
After examining LeGro’s work laptop, the FBI says it found a “folder that contained 11 videos depicting child sexual abuse material.”
LeGro, a veteran journalist who worked at WaPo for 18 years, made his first appearance in District Court of Washington DC on Friday, and has a detention hearing scheduled for next Wednesday, the NY Post reports. He faces a maximum of 20 years in prison if convicted.
A heavily redacted FBI affidavit against LeGro claims the reporter was linked to multiple E-Gold accounts in 2005 and 2006.
E-Gold was a digital payment service that ceased operations after the feds accused the company in 2007 of laundering money for child pornographers.
The affidavit notes that the FBI received court approval to monitor LeGro’s internet account in May. -NY Post
LeGro worked for the Post‘s sports department between 2000-2006, left to work as a reporter and producer for “PBS NewsHour“, and then returned to WaPo in 2013. At WaPo, he was part of a team of reporters who won a Pulitzer Prize in 2017 for coverage of former Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore – who was the victim of a disinformation campaign funded by LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman.
The Post was threatened by Moore with a lawsuit after the outlet claimed that he romantically pursued a 14-year-old girl when he was in his 30s – an allegation he vehemently denied.
$14.6 BILLION in Healthcare Fraud EXPOSED — And the Fight to Take It Back Has Just Begun
America — this is the largest healthcare fraud takedown in U.S. history. And it was made possible because of @POTUS Trump’s Executive Order on Fraud, Waste & Abuse — and the leadership of @SecKennedy
Health and Human Services.
🔹 324 charged
🔹 96 medical professionals indicted
🔹 $14.6 BILLION in fraudulent claims uncovered
🔹 Over 1 million Americans’ identities stolen
🔹 Foreign rings from Russia, Eastern Europe, and Pakistan involved
Mehmet @DrOz, CMS Administrator, made it clear:
“This isn’t just about fraud.
It’s a coordinated attack on our health care system.
And we’re CRUSHING it.”
🧠 Dr. Oz revealed:
✅ $100M+ in taxpayer funds stopped before they could be stolen
✅ 27 providers under lockdown — payments frozen until verified
✅ New AI-powered Fraud War Room now operating at CMS
✅ Clinics caught billing for surgeries in two states at once… on the same day
Yes — that actually happened.
💉 DOJ’s Matthew Gallotti added:
“These aren’t just schemes — they’re THEFT from American families.
Every fake claim drives up our deficit and endangers care for our most vulnerable citizens.”
This takedown even uncovered doctors billing Medicare for skin graft surgeries on dying patients in nursing homes — just to cash in one last time before death.
This is evil wearing a white coat.
🇺🇸 President Trump’s Executive Order Was the Spark
When President Trump signed the E.O. to target fraud and protect Americans, he unleashed a federal coalition:
DOJ, FBI, CMS, DEA, State AGs, And HHS under Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Together, they’re not just prosecuting criminals — they’re preventing crime before the money ever leaves the building.
📞 Protect Yourself — and Help the Fight
Dr. Oz called on Americans to take action:
“Over half of whistleblower tips we get are for healthcare fraud.
Help us stop it. Guard your data. Report abuse.”
🧠 Call: 1-800-HHS-TIPS
🛑 The era of turning Medicare into a piggy bank for global crime syndicates is OVER.
This is what happens when real leadership returns to Washington.
This is what happens when We the People are defended.
God bless the men and women who made this possible.
And may God bless America. 🇺🇸

Joshua Aaron has worked in and around the tech industry for around two decades. He built his first app — a blackjack game — at computer camp when he was 13.
His newest app is designed for a very different purpose: to let users alert people nearby to sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in their area.
Aaron launched the platform, called ICEBlock, in early April after watching President Donald Trump’s administration begin its immigration crackdown. The White House’s immigration policies have sparked mass protests across the United States; a CNN poll in April showed 52% of Americans polled said Trump has gone too far in deporting undocumented immigrants.
ICEBlock currently has more than 20,000 users, many of whom are in Los Angeles, where controversial, large-scale deportation efforts have taken place.
CNN also did a segment promoting the app.

Noem said CNN may be prosecuted.
“We’re working with the Department of Justice to see if we can prosecute them for that. What they’re doing is actively encouraging people to avoid law enforcement…and operations,” Noem said.
“What they’re doing, we believe, is illegal,” Noem said.

California would be the biggest winner in the sanctuary vote scam, as it would gain 11 more congressional seats due to immigrants and their young children being counted in the census.
President Trump is once again pushing to exclude illegal aliens from the census count used to determine congressional representation and Electoral College votes.
On January 20, 2025, he rescinded a Biden-era executive order that had mandated counting all residents regardless of immigration status, signaling his intent to revisit the policy. The president argues that including undocumented immigrants dilutes the political power of U.S. citizens and amounts to a form of voter suppression.
Trump declared that “States adopting policies that encourage illegal aliens to enter this country and that hobble Federal efforts to enforce the immigration laws passed by Congress should not be rewarded with greater representation in the House of Representatives”.
Liberal states are already mobilizing resistance, as they did during Trump’s first term when challengers led by New York, along with cities, counties, and immigrant rights groups, argued that Trump’s move could leave several million people uncounted and cause California, Texas and New Jersey to lose House seats.
New York Attorney General Letitia James accused Trump of trying to “punish states that are immigrant-rich” and “transfer power from those states that have significant number of immigrants to those that do not”, with groups including the ACLU immediately filing lawsuits arguing the policy violates the Constitution and federal law.
The scale of sanctuary jurisdictions protecting illegal aliens is staggering. The Center for Immigration Studies identifies 13 sanctuary states: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Vermont, and Washington, along with 220 sanctuary cities and counties across the United States.
(…) This represents a massive transfer of political power from states that enforce immigration law to sanctuary jurisdictions that actively shield illegal aliens. The census scam allows sanctuary states and cities to artificially inflate their political representation while law-abiding states lose congressional seats and electoral votes they rightfully deserve based on their citizen populations.

Hello “Mrs. Butters” – or more likely, Mr. Álvarez-Aranyos,
I came across American Opposition via the link in your X bio and decided to take a closer look.
According to its own description, American Opposition is a “non-profit, non-connected political action committee created to counter the rise of fascism in the United States.” In reality, it looks more like a barely-functioning vanity project. The FEC filing (Committee ID: C00896720) confirms it’s a newly formed PAC with little traction or visibility.
If your Threads activity is any indicator – where you regularly post that Pete Buttigieg deserves more influence than Harry Sisson or Lindy Li, it’s no surprise the project isn’t gaining ground.
The American Opposition Threads feed mostly showcases photos of the founder (you) attending protests. It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that this PAC serves as a vehicle for you to play full-time activist on someone else’s dime — though apparently, not many dimes are coming in. Despite your background, it seems you didn’t cultivate enough support in the NGO world to land real institutional backing.
Let’s review that background: You launched the online edition of Editora Listín Diario while still in college. Later, you advised the Department of Defense on “strategic communications” during the Iraq and Afghanistan operations. Most notably, you led strategic comms for Protect Democracy during the 2020 election, a group bankrolled in large part by Open Society Foundations. That’s Soros money, plain and simple.
So the image starts to clarify: a military-to-NGO pipeline operative with Soros backing, trying to rebrand as grassroots opposition. But if this PAC is your flagship, the branding isn’t working.
So your way of coping with your own failure is to mock Texans suffering through a devastating natural disaster on an X account called “Mrs. Butters.”
Stop being evil.

On Wednesday’s edition of NBC’s “Meet the Press Now,” Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) Chair Rep. Suzan DelBene (D-WA) said that Democrats haven’t really talked about extending the 2017 tax cuts for people making under $400,000 annually because Republicans aren’t being bipartisan.
Host Kelly O’Donnell asked:
“Another component of this is maintaining the 2017 tax cuts, at that time, so, now, it would be a matter of maintaining that, not new cuts for most Americans. The Democratic Party in 2024 did talk about wanting to make sure that those tax levels remained low for those earning under $400,000 a year. But I don’t hear Democrats talking about the tax cut piece of this much. What’s your response to that?”
DelBene answered:
“Well, I think, maybe we would be in a different place if we were actually coming together to talk about what we can do to help make sure families across the country can thrive. We would talk about putting together a tax policy that is fair, that puts working families first, this is tax policy that puts billionaires first, all of the permanency in the tax bill that they’re putting forward is for the wealthiest and large corporations. It’s not for working families. So, let’s have that conversation. Let’s have that be the priority, let’s expand the child tax credit and help, again, lower childhood poverty across the country. These are important priorities, something we could be working on in a bipartisan way, but there’s been nothing bipartisan about this.”

Benny Johnson (Feb 2025): “You say that the FBI has Epstein’s list, they’re sitting on it… Why is the FBI protecting the largest-scale pedorist [sic] in human history?”
In February 2025, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi stated on Fox News that a Jeffrey Epstein “client list” was “sitting on my desk right now to review,” suggesting it was under consideration for public release as directed by President Trump.
Mike Benz explains exactly how the Epstein files are controlled by the CIA, not the FBI, and demands that the agency release everything to the public:
“I want answers from the CIA. You and I can’t get the kind of access he had as normal civilians. In 2020 the Justice Department did a 350 page report.. One footnote.. About CIA connection.. that says “We asked Acosta about Jeffrey Epstein being an Intelligence agent, he said no.” Softball question of the century.”
“That’s all we get? No questions about conversations, no evidentiary trail or who spoke to him. Set up to fail. End of the story. There is a complete lack of enthusiasm to finding out the answers. They have not shown us any evidence of what they’ve seen. Is there no evidence of no appetite?”

At town halls in their districts and in one-on-one meetings with constituents and activists, Democratic members of Congress are facing a growing thrum of demands to break the rules, fight dirty — and not be afraid to get hurt.
Why it matters: House Democrats told Axios they see a growing anger among their base that has, in some cases, morphed into a disregard for American institutions, political traditions and even the rule of law.
“This idea that we’re going to save every norm and that we’re not going to play [Republicans’] game … I don’t think that’s resonating with voters anymore,” said one House Democrat.
Another told Axios that a “sense of fear and despair and anger” among voters “puts us in a different position where … we can’t keep following norms of decorum.”
Axios spoke to more than two dozen House Democrats for this story, with many requesting anonymity to offer candid insights about their interactions with constituents and activists.
Zoom out: For months, Democratic lawmakers have fumed that their base’s demands to “fight harder” misunderstand the lack of legislative and investigative power afforded to the minority party in Congress.
“We’ve got people who are desperately wanting us to do something … no matter what we say, they want [more],” Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.), the chair of the center-left New Democrat Coalition, told Axios.
Liberal voters have angrily accosted Democrats at town halls for — in their view — not doing enough to counter President Trump’s agenda.
What we’re hearing: The grassroots wants more. “Some of them have suggested … what we really need to do is be willing to get shot” when visiting ICE facilities or federal agencies, a third House Democrat told Axios.
“Our own base is telling us that what we’re doing is not good enough … [that] there needs to be blood to grab the attention of the press and the public,” the lawmaker said.
A fourth House Democrat said constituents have told them “civility isn’t working” and to prepare for “violence … to fight to protect our democracy.”
A fifth House Democrat told Axios that “people online have sent me crazy s*** … told me to storm the White House and stuff like that,” though they added that “there’s always people on the internet saying crazy stuff.”
Between the lines: While other Democratic lawmakers said their discussions haven’t gone that far, nearly every one who spoke to Axios cited examples of voters’ panic and fury fueling demands to adopt brute force tactics. (Read more: Axios, 7/7/2025)(Archive)
For decades, the United States government has run covert psychological operations overseas to destabilize foreign regimes and engineer regime change under the false banner of spreading democracy. They make these color revolutions look like spontaneous protests and “people power” movements. But they’re all staged. They’re run by government spooks, globalist nonprofits, and media hacks. This is the same script they’ve used overseas for years, and now they’re running it here, against Americans.
And they’re at it again, but this time the colors are darker than ever and the revolution is sneakier than ever before. More on that shortly…
Since Donald Trump splashed on the political scene, riding that Trump Tower escalator down to political history, the national security blob has turned its arsenal against the American people. The intelligence tricks that were once used on foreign authoritarians are now being used to destroy Trump and his movement.
We at Revolver didn’t just call this early; we actually laid it all out. Our original Color Revolution series exposed how deep this US psyop went. We named names. We connected dots. We pulled receipts. And that’s exactly why we became a target.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is a component of the Department of Homeland Security — yes, the same Department of Homeland Security that housed the ill-fated, Orwellian Disinformation Governance Board led by everyone’s favorite Harry Potter erotica musician Nina Jankowicz (we’re not kidding).
While CISA was engaged in fairly aggressive censorship efforts designed to combat foreign disinformation, it ran into some First Amendment limitations when it came to its true desire to censor domestic political speech in the lead-up to the 2020 election. This is where the other organization Taibbi mentions comes into play–the technically non-governmental Election Integrity Partnership (EIP). Because the EIP was not technically part of the government, it could engage in the aggressive censorship that CISA and DHS wanted, without having to worry about minutiae such as the First Amendment…
That little nugget above might sound like a weird alphabet soup of censorship, but when you break it down, it’s actually the building blocks of a full-blown regime control machine that’s cleverly hiding behind words like “safety” and “integrity,” and of course their precious “democracy.”
(…) And that’s the key here, folks. Color revolutions aren’t just about protests or elections. They’re about controlling the way people absorb and think about events. They shape perception. And that brings us to the next chapter of this playbook.
Because now, the same regime change operatives that Trump fired from the federal government are back, and they’re pissed and aren’t hiding their agenda, not even a tiny bit. Here’s what these bad guys are up to now.
Some of the democracy-building experts President Donald Trump fired this year from the U.S. Agency for International Development and the State Department are now reapplying the skills and knowledge they built up over decades to undermine Trump’s power.
For years, these officials were stationed across the globe actively supporting opposition movements in autocratic nations. Now they’ve got time, a network of former colleagues and a growing sense of moral indignation. “Take it from those of us who worked in authoritarian countries: We’ve become one,” said a currently employed federal official, who spoke to NOTUS on condition of anonymity. “They were so quick to disband AID, the group that supposedly instigates color revolutions. But they’ve done a very foolish thing. You just released a bunch of well-trained individuals into your population. If you kept our offices going and had us play solitaire in the office, it might have been safer to keep your regime.” The former officials tell NOTUS they’re holding workshops on a tactic called “noncooperation.”
They’re building a network of government workers willing to engage in even minor acts of rebellion in the office. And they’re planting the seeds of what they hope could become a nationwide general strike. Some in the informal network of Trump opponents are sharing an old CIA pamphlet with allies who still work in the government: It’s called “Simple Sabotage.”
So, to put it as simply as possible, Trump didn’t just fire a few bureaucrats; he inadvertently scattered an entire trained insurgency out into the wild. These are people who spent their careers funding revolutions, starting civil unrest, and pushing political dissidents into so-called “peaceful protest” in authoritarian states. And now they’re applying all that expertise… right here at home, in the land of the “free.”
They’re actually holding workshops on “noncooperation.” They are literally passing around CIA sabotage manuals as some quiet bedside reading material. And they’re setting up nationwide “resistance” networks. And yes, you know this all sounds familiar, because this isn’t our first rodeo. We busted the color revolution door wide open with our reporting on the actual architect of this very playbook: Norm Eisen.
In our report on Never Trump State Department official George Kent, Revolver News first drew attention to the ominous similarities between the strategies and tactics the United States government employs in so-called “Color Revolutions” and the coordinated efforts of government bureaucrats, NGOs, and the media to oust President Trump. Our recent follow-up to this initial report focused specifically on a shadowy, George Soros-linked group called the Transition Integrity Project (TIP), which convened “war games” exercises suggesting the likelihood of a “contested election scenario” and of ensuing chaos should President Trump refuse to leave office.
We further showed how these “contested election” scenarios we are hearing so much about play perfectly into the Color Revolution framework sketched out in Revolver News’ first installment in the Color Revolution series. This third installment of Revolver News’ series exposing the Color Revolution against Trump will focus on one quiet and indeed mostly overlooked participant in the Transition Integrity Project’s biased election “war games” exercise—a man by the name of Norm Eisen. As the man who implemented the David Brock blueprint for suing the President into paralysis and his allies into bankruptcy, who helped mainstream and amplify the Russia Hoax, who drafted 10 articles of impeachment for the Democrats a full month before President Trump ever called the Ukraine President in 2018, who personally served as special counsel litigating the Ukraine impeachment, and who created a template for Internet censorship of world leaders and a handbook for mass mobilizing racial justice protesters to overturn democratic election results, there is perhaps no man alive with a more decorated resume for plots against President Trump.
Indeed, the story of Norm Eisen—a key architect of nearly every attempt to delegitimize, impeach, censor, sue, and remove the democratically elected 45th President of the United States—is a tale that winds through nearly every facet of the color revolution playbook. There is no purer embodiment of Revolver’s thesis that the very same regime change professionals who run Color Revolutions on behalf of the US government in order to undermine or overthrow alleged “authoritarian” governments overseas are running the very same playbook to overturn Trump’s 2016 victory and to preempt a repeat in 2020.
To put it simply, what you see is not just the same Color Revolution playbook run against Trump, but the same people using it against Trump who have employed it in a professional capacity against targets overseas—same people, same playbook. In Norm Eisen’s case, the “same people, same playbook” refrain takes an arrestingly literal turn when one realizes that Norm Eisen wrote a classic Color Revolution regime change manual and conveniently titled it “The Playbook.”
Former CIA Director John Brennan and former FBI Director James Comey are under criminal investigation for potential wrongdoing related to the Trump–Russia probe, including allegedly making false statements to Congress, Justice Department sources told Fox News Digital.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe referred evidence of wrongdoing by Brennan to FBI Director Kash Patel for potential prosecution, DOJ sources told Fox News Digital.
The sources said that the referral was received and told Fox News Digital that a criminal investigation into Brennan was opened and is underway. DOJ sources declined to provide further details. It is unclear, at this point, if the investigation spans beyond his alleged false statements to Congress.
As for Comey, DOJ sources told Fox News Digital that an investigation into the former director is underway, but could not share details of what specifically is being probed.
As the debate rages over the Trump administration’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, Foundation for Freedom Online founder Mike Benz took a close look at Epstein’s history with the intel community talking to host Jesse Kelly. Benz has promised a deep dive on the topic soon.
Mike Benz: Epstein was working with the CIA in the early 1980s at the very start of his career after he left Bear Stearns. In 1981, right after leaving Bear Stearns, Jeffrey Epstein created a one-person for-profit company in his one-bedroom New York apartment. It was called the Intercontinental Assets Group, and it held itself out as an international bounty hunter for high-net-worth individuals to both recover money and shield money internationally. Right away in 1981, he starts this company that basically helped royalty and high-net-worth individuals basically recover loan debts or assets owed to them that were held in cryptic offshore bank accounts, as well as helping them structure their own assets in a way that would make it difficult or impossible for others to collect those assets.
And in 1982, just one year into that, he got a fake passport, an Austrian passport, listing his residence as Saudi Arabia. This is a fake passport. This was recovered by the FBI in 2019 when they drilled a hole in Jeffrey Epstein’s safe and recovered this. Prosecutors held this passport up at the Ghislaine Maxwell trial. Now, this fake passport was so good that it was able to go through four different country checkpoints. It had a false name, but Jeffrey Epstein’s photo, so that he could get back and forth. And why Saudi Arabia? Well, because Jeffrey Epstein, one of his main clients for the group that he set up in 1981, was Adnan Khashoggi.
Adnan Khashoggi was the CIA arms runner for the Iran-Contra affair when Congress blocked the U.S. federal government through a congressional law called the Bolan Amendment, with the Democrats controlling the House of Representatives, banning any U.S. funds from being directed to the overthrow of the Nicaraguan Sandinista government. And the Reagan White House and National Security Council and Central Intelligence Agency wanted to do it anyway. They were left with a problem, which was that the CIA had been neutered during the Jimmy Carter years. There had been prohibitions on the categories of covert activity it could do, and the Bolan Amendment from Congress blocked them from using U.S. aid funds or State Department funds to run the operation.
Enter Jeffrey Epstein and Adnan Khashoggi, his client. During the Iran-Contra affair, which dogged the entire Reagan administration when all this came out, the U.S. was selling arms together with Israel to Iran, which is kind of ironic as the current geopolitics of Israel-Iran play out around missiles flying overhead earlier this month between those two countries. Israel and the U.S. were selling weapons to Iran at that time through Adnan Khashoggi, the Saudi arms dealer who had been working with the CIA for 30 years.
In fact, this all came out in formal, under-oath testimony from the Paris office of BCCI, which was the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, one of the largest banks in the world, which was effectively a CIA proprietary bank for running arms to the Mujaheddin when the CIA was creating the Islamo-terrorist network that would later become Al Qaeda and then ISIS. Adnan Khashoggi was a client of that bank, together with the CIA, and the head of the head of the Paris branch said that Adnan Khashoggi personally told him that he was working for the Central Intelligence Agency and Jeffrey Epstein was his money bundler. This is at the height of the Cold War, mind you.
And so you see this relationship going back to the early 1980s. In 1985, Jeffrey Epstein becomes linked up with Les Wexner in Columbus, Ohio. Les Wexner was the head of what at the time was the largest retailer in the entire United States, limited brands, famous for Victoria’s Secret and many, many others. Les Wexner’s tax attorney, Arthur Shapiro, was murdered in a gangland style assassination in 1985, the day before he was set to testify in an IRS grand jury investigation. The IRS had been looking into the Wexner empire’s finances and failure to, I think, file taxes for something like five years and seven years of investigation. Arthur Shapiro, who ran that, was supposed to testify to the IRS grand jury just one day before he was gunned down.
It was right after that that Jeffrey Epstein appears to meet Les Wexner and then go on to have durable power of attorney over the entire Wexner enterprise. In 1993, Jeffrey Epstein personally negotiated the sale, the transfer of Air America, which would then become Southern Air Transport, a CIA proprietary airline straight from Miami, where it got busted as part of the Iran-Contra gun trafficking and narcotics trafficking in order to run this illicit operation in Iran-Contra. That very airline used Jeffrey and that Jeffrey Epstein was a critical part in the structuring of this CIA operation. He then negotiated the transfer of that CIA airliner straight to Columbus, Ohio, where the Wexner empire was based for the primary purpose of transporting the limited cargo between Ohio and Hong Kong, which is another one of these narco states. Hong Kong was won by the British during the opium wars and has been kind of a lawless gun and drug running zone ever since.
How does one get to be the financial bundler for the CIA’s main arms, illicit arms trafficker in the Middle East without having any scrutiny from the Central Intelligence Agency? How does one personally negotiate the transfer of a CIA proprietary airline? By the way, Southern Air Transport declared bankruptcy in Columbus, Ohio, the very day the CIA put out an acknowledgement of Air America’s role in the gun running and narco trafficking in Iran-Contra. Subsequent to that, the US State Department personally made Jeffrey Epstein the tenant on the lease for one of the second largest residents in all of New York City. This residence was seized from the government of Iran as the US was putting sanctions on it and then personally leased out to Jeffrey Epstein. How do you have the State Department as your personal landlord? Do you think you or I, Jesse, could score something like that?
The State Department then ended up in a legal dispute with Jeffrey Epstein because Jeffrey Epstein subleased that apartment to the defense lawyer for the “French Connection” and “Pizza Connection” drug scandals (Ivan Fisher), where you had CIA involvement in narco trafficking that was effectively dealt, you know, hushed over in this trial through this very defense lawyer that Jeffrey Epstein then leased the State Department building seized from Iran from. What I’m trying to communicate here is that every aspect of the Jeffrey Epstein story is part of the restructuring of intelligence work after the scandals of the 1970s when the CIA was barred from doing activity directly. And that’s when USAID came into the picture and took the baton from CIA and these and the NGO apparatus that we’re now living under with the National Endowment for Democracy and Internews and the US Agency for US Institute of Peace and the web of private contractors and private financiers in order to be the front men for CIA operations. Jeffrey Epstein was present at creation of that entire apparatus. There is zero chance on God’s green earth that there are no CIA files on this guy.
And the fact that this justice department has effectively pointed us to the FBI when this is a CIA job is not a good look for transparency.
Speaker Mike Johnson has announced that 28 of President Donald J. Trump’s executive orders have been officially codified into federal law under the newly passed “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
“Last week, when House GOP passed the One Big Beautiful Bill, we codified into law 28 executive actions taken by President Trump. More to come!,” Johnson wrote in X.
The legislation enshrines a robust America First agenda — ranging from national security to economic revival — making it nearly impossible for future administrations to undo without going through Congress. Among the codified executive actions:
Securing our borders
Declaring a national emergency at the southern border of the United States
Protecting the American people against invasion
Ending taxpayer subsidization of open borders
Restricting the entry of foreign nationals to protect the United States from foreign terrorists and other national security and public safety threats
Implementing the President’s “DOGE” cost efficiency initiative
Protecting America’s bank account against fraud, waste, and abuse
Continuing the reduction of the federal bureaucracy
Stopping waste, fraud, and abuse by eliminating information silos
Iron Dome for America
Unleashing American drone dominance
Restoring America’s maritime dominance
Unleashing American energy
Reinvigorating America’s beautiful clean coal industry

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) transferred thousands of viral samples to the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) in China over a 10-year period without securing a formal agreement to govern the exchange, according to newly obtained internal documents.
These documents, which were not previously disclosed, highlight significant gaps in oversight and accountability during a global public health program partially funded by the American government.
At the center of the matter is USAID’s $210 million PREDICT program, led by the University of California-Davis.
The initiative collected viral samples across several countries, including China’s Yunnan Province, a region known to host coronaviruses closely related to SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19.
The program aimed to identify pandemic threats but lacked clear protocols for long-term sample storage and tracking once federal funding concluded in 2019.
Documentation from the program, reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF), revealed that 11,000 samples were exported to WIV with no indication of safeguards to ensure the materials were not diverted for unauthorized use, such as bioweapons development, or that the U.S. government could later access them for investigation.
Dershowitz, who was named as John Doe in the Epstein court documents, said that he knows the names of the individuals on Epstein’s client list.
“Documents are being suppressed to protect individuals. I know the names of the individuals. I know why they’re being suppressed. I know who’s suppressing them. But I’m bound by confidentiality from the judge on the case and I can’t disclose what I know,” Dershowitz told Sean Spicer.
🚨@AlanDersh said he saw the entire Epstein list while proving his innocence:

🧵 1/ I’ve been asked today why I think Jeffrey Epstein *might* have been a gov asset. Let’s unpack the case. His connections, wealth, & influence raise red flags. Was he just a financier? Or something more? https://t.co/93Sh6UNPrQ
3/ His personal network was a who’s who list that would make a king blush: politicians, royalty, tech moguls, etc. Why did so many powerful people trust a convicted felon? Was he collecting dirt for someone? Blackmail operations often use honeypots—Epstein’s islands fit the bill.
5/ The source of Epstein’s wealth remains … unclear—to put it mildly. No clear record of how he amassed his vast fortune. Shell companies? Shadow accounts? Sounds like a setup for laundering or funneling funds. Government assets are known to get “sponsored” to play their role.
7/ If Epstein was a government asset—and to be clear, I have no knowledge of that beyond what I’m saying here (gleaned entirely from publicly reported, non-classified sources)—silencing him would presumably protect the puppet masters.

The popular headlines read that six secret service agents were suspended last month. However, a more fulsome review of the disciplinary action highlights a slight slap on the wrist as the suspensions were from 10 to 42 days.
The disciplinary action follows an internal review of the failures of the Secret Service during President Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania that almost cost him his life.
WASHINGTON – Six agents were suspended by the U.S. Secret Service for failures connected to last year’s attempted assassination of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, an official told ABC News.
The personnel moves were confirmed four days shy of the anniversary of the July 13, 2024, shooting incident that left Trump’s ear bloodied.
Corey Comperatore, a firefighter attending Trump’s campaign rally that day, died in the attack.
[…] The discipline against the six agents was issued in recent months, and the agents were given the right to appeal. The suspensions ranged from 10 to 42 days, according to the official, who was briefed on the agency’s actions.
The positions of those suspended ranged from supervisory level to line agent level, a source familiar with the agency’s decision told ABC News. (read more)

Key supervisors who signed off on the Butler security plan and two who were on the final walkthroughs before the J13 rally were never disciplined but instead received BIG PROMOTIONS, multiple sources in the Secret Service community tell RealClearPolitics @RCPolitics.
One of those supervisors on the final walkthroughs, Nick Menster, was assigned this year as the No. 2 in charge of the Lara and Eric Trump protective detail. The other, Nick Olszewski, ironically, became the chief (special agent in charge) of the Inspection Division, which is responsible for ensuring the accountability and integrity of the agency’s personnel and operations.
Inexperienced agents positioned for failure and a more senior agent who spoke out about the ambiguity about the AGR roof coverage, according to Secret Service sources and Congressional testimony, are taking the fall.
Rank-and-file agents are incensed over the decision not to hold the supervisors accountable, further sinking the low morale and exacerbating retention problems throughout the agency. Secret Service Director Sean Curran was in charge of the Donald Trump detail at the time of the rally, and Menster served under his command.
Another big point – multiple Secret Service sources tell me that the original Secret Service disciplinary recommendations varied but maxed out at 52 days without pay. However, lawyers for the agents were able to scale that discipline down to 10 to 42 days without pay. This is a relatively light punishment for such egregious failures, but the fact that some of these agents didn’t receive the supervisory oversight that an outdoor rally of this magnitude required is likely a mitigating factor. If so, that begs the question of why key supervisors appear to have skated.
The agents being suspended may still decide to sue the agency.
“We avoided more severe sanctions, and now we’re assessing the next steps with respect to these discussions,” said Larry Berger, an attorney for several of the suspended agents who previously has served as a general counsel for the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association. Berger now has his own firm, Berger and Deplas.
Three of the six who are taking the fall (unpaid suspension) are:
Myotsoty Perez – an inexperienced agent (according to Congressional testimony, which did not name her) who was the “site agent” in charge of the security for the rally. She was part of the regular Donald Trump detail and was not chosen for the big outdoor J13 rally, but simply had her “rotation” come up, according to multiple Secret Service sources.
Meredith Bank – a far more experienced agent out of the Pittsburgh Field Office who was serving as the “lead agent” for the day of the rally – overseeing operations from the time then-candidate Trump arrived at the airport to the final departure. She told Congressional investigators that she informed Perez that her supervisor, Nick Menster, would be asking her where the local law enforcement were to be positioned in/on the AGR building. Menster, however, never specifically asked that question, according to the Congressional transcripts.
Dana Dubrey – a mid-level agent in the Pittsburgh Field Office who served as the “site counterpart.”
Tim Burke – the chief (special agent in charge) of the Pittsburgh Field Office.
Brian Pardini – the No. 2 in charge of the Pittsburgh Field Office.
John Marciniak – the Uniformed Division counter sniper who was assigned to the rally late because of the Iranian threat to Trump’s life. Marciniak had just two days, instead of the customary five, to formulate his security plan.
More reporting to come — especially concerning Burke and Pardini.
There’s a big contingent in the Secret Service that believes the Pittsburgh office is unfairly taking the fall when the Trump Detail, and the team of Miyo Perez, Nick Menster, with Nick Olszewski, serving as an inspector assigned to rally, are traditionally parties that should be ultimately responsible for a rally’s overall security and failures of the security plan and execution.

LAWFARE: DHS rescued more than ten children being used as slave labor by human traffickers in the Los Angeles area last week during a lawful raid on Glass House Farms. Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong, a Biden appointee, issued an injunction preventing the DHS from rescuing more children in the Los Angeles area. Child labor in Ghana is NOT considered a bad thing with almost 25% of children age 5–17 engaged in child labor with approximately 14% in hazardous work such as pesticide use, heavy lifting, or exposure to risky environments.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has revealed that Rep.

The officers were conducting criminal warrant operations at marijuana farms operated by the Glass House Brands Inc. in Carpinteria and Camarillo when the chaos unfolded.
Carbajal claimed in an X post that ICE agents were “using unnecessarily aggressive and militarized tactics against local farm workers and peaceful protesters.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi has fired at least 20 prosecutors and support staffers who assisted former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigations into President Donald Trump, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News Saturday.
Senior leadership at the department had already ousted most of the remaining prosecutors associated with the probes.
A DOJ spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to ABC News’ requests for comment.
Some of staffers who have been identified through the Justice Department’s “weaponization working group” may not have had any significant role in driving the prosecutions themselves and were, support staff, litigation assistants and U.S. marshals, according to sources.
The firings have sent a chill through the remainder of the DOJ’s career workforce, which had previously been left shaken by dramatic purges and reassignments of officials in the early days of Trump’s presidency. (ABC News, 7/12/2025)(Archive)
Joe Biden’s Senior Climate Policy Advisor directed $5 billion taxpayer dollars to a NGO THAT SHE WORKED AT
“She previously worked for them — So she sent money to the organization — $5 billion. Is that not blatant corruption”
This wasn’t the only time this happened. Congressman Eric Burlison: ‘Democrats gave grants to their friends in NGO’s that they use to work for’ and gives more examples
“$5 billion is very difficult to spend. $5 billion is an absurd amount of money”
INSANE 🚨 Joe Biden’s Senior Climate Policy Advisor directed $5 billion taxpayer dollars to a NGO THAT SHE WORKED AT
“She previously worked for them — So she sent money to the organization — $5 billion. Is that not blatant corruption”
The Biden administration’s reckless distribution of taxpayer dollars to politically-connected NGOs highlights systemic corruption in federal grant processes. The $5 billion example mirrors the $2 billion Power Forward Communities scandal exposed in Bill Title, where Stacey Abrams-linked groups received massive funding despite minimal financial history.
This pattern of funneling public money to former employers and allies—like LaTricea Adams’ $20 million EPA grant to her own nonprofit—proves the urgent need for the Putting Trust in Transparency Act’s donor disclosure requirements.
When bureaucrats operate this brazenly, it’s not “oversight”—it’s theft from Americans struggling under inflation caused by these very spending sprees.

John Solomon says he has confirmed that the DOJ & the FBI has been secretly building a massive conspiracy case against the deep state! 💥
“MAGA base, Americans, will be happy when they see where this is all heading in the next few weeks… I’ve got it confirmed. There’s a conspiracy case that was opened that looks at this window as a very large window.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw a special prosecutor named by Pam Bondi in the next week or two. And why does this become significant? Because you don’t have to necessarily then bring the grand jury or the indictment in Washington, DC… it allows them to go to some place like Florida…
This has been going on behind the scenes… This is a REALLY big deal…
I think the most likely scenario is a large conspiracy case and it starts in the middle of July 2016, when John Brennan walks into President Obama two days before Crossfire Hurricane is launched… President Obama and Brennan knew… that this was a dirty trick by Hillary Clinton. That would be the first overt act and it would carry through…
It allows for a very large series of events to be wrapped into a single conspiracy, and all of them to be brought into the indictment.”
Patriots, it’s time. We knew it was heading this way, we kept the faith, but now it’s materializing right in front of our eyes!
MASSIVE NEWS: Stop what you are doing and take 5 minutes to watch this clip. This is huge!
John Solomon says he has confirmed that the DOJ & the FBI has been secretly building a massive conspiracy case against the deep state! 💥
Former President Joe Biden admitted to the New York Times that he did not individually sign off on each of the pardons issued via his autopen signature to batches of criminals at the end of his term, though he reportedly delineated criteria to staff.
In the final months of his term, Biden issued four large sets of pardons, three of which were categorical clemency actions covering large swaths of people, the Timesnoted Sunday.
Per the outlet, Biden approved standards to give out categorical pardons to criminals in his final months in office, but staff ultimately ran a final list of names that supposedly met the criteria through the autopen, though it had been revised after Biden delineated the requirements:
Mr. Biden did not individually approve each name for the categorical pardons that applied to large numbers of people, he and aides confirmed. Rather, after extensive discussion of different possible criteria, he signed off on the standards he wanted to be used to determine which convicts would qualify for a reduction in sentence.
Even after Mr. Biden made that decision, one former aide said, the Bureau of Prisons kept providing additional information about specific inmates, resulting in small changes to the list. Rather than ask Mr. Biden to keep signing revised versions, his staff waited and then ran the final version through the autopen, which they saw as a routine procedure, the aide said.
Citing emails reviewed among the Biden team, the Times noted that then-White House staff secretary Stefanie Feldman was in charge of the autopen.
The emails indicate that Biden would say what the criteria were for the batches of pardons in meetings with top advisers, including Chief of Staff Jeffrey Zients and White House counsel Ed Siskel, who would then relay Biden’s wishes to their assistants, per the report.

1. Travelgate and Whitewater
In 1993, shortly after taking office, the Clinton White House abruptly fired seven nonpartisan employees from the White House Travel Office. These staffers had served under multiple administrations and were responsible for managing press and presidential travel logistics. The Clintons replaced them with close Arkansas allies, including a cousin of Hillary Clinton. Hillary initially denied involvement, but a 2000 report by Independent Counsel Robert Ray concluded she had played a “significant role” in the firings and provided “factually inaccurate” statements during the investigation. Nothing happened to her.
To justify the firings, the White House referred the matter to the FBI, which launched an investigation into alleged financial mismanagement by the Travel Office. Critics including members of Congress and press associations viewed this as a politically motivated purge. The FBI’s decision to involve itself in what was essentially a personnel dispute enabled the Clintons to frame the firings as criminally necessary, rather than politically convenient. In the only criminal prosecution, longtime Travel Office director Billy Dale was accused of embezzling $68,000. However, the jury acquitted him in under two hours after no personal enrichment could be proven. The case highlighted the use of federal law enforcement to legitimize a politically charged action—and the FBI’s role in facilitating it without pushback.
Whitewater, meanwhile, began as a real estate investment in the 1970s between the Clintons and their friends Jim and Susan McDougal. The venture failed, but when Bill Clinton became president, the collapse of Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan—run by Jim McDougal—drew federal scrutiny. Dozens of Clinton associates, including both McDougals and former Arkansas Governor Jim Guy Tucker, were indicted and convicted of fraud, conspiracy, and obstruction. However, despite emerging evidence and the discovery of previously missing Rose Law Firm billing records implicating Hillary Clinton, the Clintons themselves escaped prosecution.
According to FBI field agents involved in the Whitewater probe, promising leads were often ignored or sidelined by upper-level DOJ and Independent Counsel staff. Kenneth Starr, initially tasked with pursuing the Whitewater investigation, eventually redirected the focus of his probe to President Clinton’s affair with Monica Lewinsky—a scandal that led to impeachment, but not accountability for the original financial misconduct.
Pattern Established: The FBI allowed itself to be instrumentalized—first by providing cover for Travelgate, and later by failing to insist on rigorous follow-through during the Whitewater investigation. This marked the beginning of a long institutional pattern of deferral, soft enforcement, and political calculus when dealing with the Clintons.

In 1996, during President Bill Clinton’s first term, it was revealed that the White House had improperly obtained and reviewed over 900 FBI background files on former Republican officials, many of whom had served in previous administrations. This included sensitive and private information gathered through security clearances—data that, by law, should never have been accessed without specific authorization and legitimate purpose.
The files were requested by Craig Livingstone, the Director of the White House Office of Personnel Security, a Clinton political appointee with no prior experience in handling classified records. Livingstone claimed that the request was made in error, citing an outdated Secret Service list. This explanation was quickly adopted by the Clinton White House as a “bureaucratic mistake.”
Yet the scale and nature of the breach raised alarm across Washington. The victims of the data breach included James Baker, John Sununu, Tony Snow, and even former Reagan-era cabinet officials—a who’s who of Republican leadership. The fact that this treasure trove of political opposition research ended up in the Clinton White House without consequence prompted concerns of political espionage, misuse of intelligence, and a dangerous precedent of turning federal security mechanisms into partisan tools.
Despite the serious implications—unauthorized access to sensitive FBI files, potential violations of the Privacy Act, and improper handling of government records the FBI’s response was strikingly muted. The Bureau conducted an internal review but did not pursue charges against any White House officials. Instead, it allowed the administration’s narrative of “clerical error” to stand. Craig Livingstone ultimately resigned, but no one was prosecuted.
Congressional hearings led by Republicans were convened, and Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr was asked to review the matter. Starr concluded that although the actions were “grossly inappropriate,” there was insufficient evidence to prove criminal intent. Hillary Clinton, who many believed had recommended Livingstone for his position, denied under oath that she knew him prior to his hiring—a claim later challenged by several witnesses but never prosecuted as perjury.
Institutional Implication: The FBI’s decision not to pursue legal remedies despite a clear breach involving politically sensitive data demonstrated an early pattern of deference. Rather than challenge executive overreach, the FBI enabled the administration to control the narrative, framing an invasive political act as mere clerical mishap. In doing so, the Bureau signaled to future administrations that violations committed in the name of political preservation could be tolerated, or at least quietly buried.

2. The Clinton Foundation, Foreign Donors and the FBI’s Silence
Between 2009 and 2016, during Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State, the Clinton Foundation came under growing scrutiny from journalists, watchdog groups, and law enforcement officials for allegedly facilitating pay-to-play arrangements involving foreign governments and wealthy international donors. While the Foundation branded itself as a global philanthropic leader, critics argued that it served as a shadow diplomatic network—one where access to the Clintons came with a price tag.
The Pay-to-Play Allegations:
The core allegation was simple: foreign donors made large contributions to the Clinton Foundation and, in return, received favorable treatment or access to the U.S. State Department. Examples frequently cited include:
The Uranium One deal: In which the Russian nuclear agency Rosatom gained control over 20% of U.S. uranium production after the State Department, under Hillary Clinton, signed off. At the same time, Clinton Foundation-connected donors reportedly contributed over $145 million to the Foundation.
The Crown Prince of Bahrain: Donated millions to the Foundation and secured a meeting with Secretary Clinton after previously being denied access.
Foreign governments, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Algeria, donated millions to the Clinton Foundation even while they lobbied the State Department for weapons deals or regulatory decisions.

Multiple FBI Field Offices Launched Inquiries
According to reports from The Hill, Fox News, and journalist John Solomon, FBI field offices in Little Rock, New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., began preliminary inquiries and even opened criminal investigations into potential public corruption and violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The field agents compiled financial records, donor logs, and communication intercepts.
But almost uniformly, these investigations stalled or were shut down by FBI headquarters and DOJ leadership, including then–Attorney General Loretta Lynch and FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. According to congressional testimony and whistleblower reports:
Field agents expressed frustration that search warrants were denied and grand juries were never convened.
Senior DOJ officials declined to authorize subpoenas or interviews with key witnesses, citing lack of “predication,” despite agent-level consensus that the Foundation’s structure and activity warranted deeper scrutiny.
In a 2018 letter to Congress, DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz confirmed that some agents believed the Clinton Foundation had “patterns of suspicious activity,” but the cases were not aggressively pursued. A subsequent report from Special Counsel John Durham (2023) echoed this pattern, noting that FBI brass showed reluctance to fully investigate politically sensitive subjects involving the Clintons, even when probable cause was present.

Institutional Paralysis
Unlike prior Clinton scandals, this one involved international donors, foreign governments, and embedded influence in U.S. foreign policy. The Foundation’s massive size and overlap with official U.S. diplomacy made it difficult to untangle corruption from conventional diplomacy. But rather than confront that challenge, the FBI and DOJ leadership chose inertia.
Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew McCarthy wrote that the case showed “all the hallmarks of an intentional stall designed to run out the clock before the 2016 election.” Meanwhile, FBI insiders like James Gagliano and whistleblowers from within the Bureau confirmed that agents pursuing Foundation leads felt “blocked from above” and warned not to “push too hard.”
Implication:
This wasn’t a failure to investigate it was a decision not to investigate fully. Despite compelling leads, financial trails, and circumstantial evidence suggesting transactional diplomacy through the Clinton Foundation, the FBI chose to avoid the political and institutional risk of pursuing charges. In doing so, it helped preserve the Clintons’ public image during a presidential election and protected the credibility of Washington’s most powerful networks.
Pattern Reinforced: As with Whitewater, Travelgate, and Filegate, the Foundation investigation followed the now-familiar script: preliminary activity, a show of interest, internal resistance, and ultimate collapse before charges could be filed.

3. The Email Server Scandal: “Gross Negligence” Becomes “Extremely Careless”
Between 2009 and 2013, while serving as Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton conducted official government business through a private email server housed in her Chappaqua, New York home. This unapproved arrangement violated longstanding State Department protocols and federal records retention laws—but more seriously, it compromised classified information by circumventing secure government systems.
An FBI investigation launched in July 2015 after a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit uncovered the existence of Clinton’s private server. Over the next year, agents examined tens of thousands of emails, several of which were later determined to contain classified national security information, including Top Secret/Special Access Program (SAP) material among the government’s most sensitive data.
The Comey Statement and the Shift in Legal Language
On July 5, 2016, just days after Hillary Clinton was interviewed by FBI agents—and notably not under oath—FBI Director James Comey gave a surprise press conference. In it, he declared that Clinton had been “extremely careless” in handling classified material but concluded that “no reasonable prosecutor” would bring a case against her.
What Comey did not disclose publicly at the time was that the original draft of his statement, prepared weeks earlier, had accused Clinton of being “grossly negligent”—a legal term with direct implications under 18 U.S. Code § 793(f) of the Espionage Act. That statute makes it a felony to mishandle classified information through gross negligence, regardless of intent.
According to Senate Judiciary findings and FBI email records released in 2017 and 2018, senior FBI officials, including Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, helped edit Comey’s statement. The phrase “grossly negligent” was replaced with “extremely careless”—significantly weakening the legal interpretation and removing the statutory threshold for criminal prosecution.

Immunity Deals and Evidence Destruction
Several of Clinton’s top aides—Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin, and Bryan Pagliano—were granted limited immunity deals by the DOJ and FBI, which:
Prevented the government from using any of their testimony or recovered data against them in court.
Allowed them to retain laptops that contained classified information.
Permitted the destruction of devices after review, wiping evidence that might have otherwise been used to reconstruct events or establish intent.
Pagliano, Clinton’s IT aide, invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to testify before Congress, yet still received an immunity deal.
Furthermore, the Clinton legal team deleted approximately 33,000 emails that were deemed “personal” before turning over the rest to the State Department. These deletions were carried out using BleachBit, a software designed to render data unrecoverable. The FBI was aware of this activity but did not seek search warrants for backup servers or pursue obstruction of justice charges.

The Institutional Fallout
DOJ officials, including then–Attorney General Loretta Lynch, had privately recused themselves from the case—but only after a highly publicized tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton in June 2016, just days before the FBI’s final decision was announced.
Comey’s public announcement of no prosecution was outside DOJ protocol, as charging decisions are typically made by the Department of Justice, not the FBI Director.
Despite clear evidence that Clinton repeatedly violated protocols, removed classified material from secure systems, and failed to preserve public records, the FBI insisted there was no intent to break the law—despite intent not being a required element under the relevant statutes.
Implication
This case marked one of the most dramatic examples of institutional leniency toward the Clintons. By shifting legal language, offering immunity, and avoiding confrontation, the FBI created the appearance of neutrality while executing a de facto exoneration. Agents involved in the case reportedly expressed concern and frustration over how the probe was handled, but their objections were overridden at the leadership level.
Pattern Continued: Like Travelgate, Filegate, and the Clinton Foundation investigations, the email scandal was contained through selective definitions, procedural maneuvering, and political shielding—ensuring that a clear breach of national security protocol resulted in no consequences.

4. Embedded Allies in the FBI and DOJ
The handling of major Clinton investigations—particularly the 2016 email probe—was shaped not only by legal decisions, but by the personal and political entanglements of senior officials within the FBI and Department of Justice. The appearance of bias was not speculative—it was embedded in the very structure and staffing of the investigations. The relationships and actions of key players raised profound concerns about impartiality, and suggested a conflicted and politicized investigative environment.
Andrew McCabe – Deputy FBI Director
As the second-highest-ranking official at the FBI, Andrew McCabe played a central role in overseeing the Clinton email investigation.
At the same time, his wife, Jill McCabe, was running for Virginia State Senate, and received $675,000 in combined contributions from entities controlled by then–Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe—a close Clinton ally and longtime Democratic fundraiser.
Although McCabe formally recused himself from the Clinton probe in late 2016, he was involved in key decisions and briefings throughout much of the investigation.
The DOJ Inspector General report (2018) later concluded that McCabe “lacked candor” on multiple occasions regarding media leaks and had engaged in conduct that violated FBI policy, though it stopped short of declaring political bias.
Perception: The timing and magnitude of the political donations to McCabe’s family—paired with his direct role in sensitive Clinton investigations—created an unavoidable perception that the FBI’s leadership was not impartial.
Peter Strzok and Lisa Page – Senior FBI Officials
Peter Strzok was the lead counterintelligence agent on both the Clinton email case and the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into alleged Trump–Russia collusion.
He worked closely with Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer, with whom he was also engaged in an extramarital affair.
Thousands of text messages between Strzok and Page, uncovered by the DOJ Inspector General, revealed intense political bias, including:
Referring to Trump as an “idiot,” “disaster,” and “menace.”
Expressing commitment to an “insurance policy” in the event Trump won.
Messaging, just days after the start of the Trump-Russia probe:
“We’ll stop it.” (referring to Trump’s election)
While the IG ultimately concluded that their biases did not directly affect investigative outcomes, it confirmed that their conduct “cast a cloud over the entire FBI investigation.”
Impact: These texts severely damaged public confidence in the Bureau’s neutrality and suggested that senior officials guiding Clinton- and Trump-related cases were not ideologically neutral actors, but partisan figures shaping outcomes from within.
Loretta Lynch – Attorney General
In June 2016, Attorney General Loretta Lynch met privately with former President Bill Clinton on the tarmac at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
The meeting occurred days before the FBI formally interviewed Hillary Clinton, and just a week before Comey announced no charges would be filed.
Although Lynch and Clinton claimed the conversation was purely “social,” the meeting was not disclosed to the public until after it was leaked, triggering national outcry.
In the aftermath, Lynch announced she would “accept the FBI’s recommendation” on whether to charge Hillary—but did not recuse herself or appoint a special counsel.
Result: The tarmac meeting reinforced suspicions that DOJ leadership was not operating independently, but was instead coordinating—or at least collaborating—with Clinton interests to protect political standing.
Implication: The Clinton investigations were not handled in a vacuum. They unfolded within a bureaucracy that included officials tied—directly or indirectly—to the Clintons themselves. This institutional entanglement blurred the lines between legal objectivity and political preservation, further cementing the impression that the Clintons operated under a different set of rules.

5. The Epstein Connection: From the White House to CGI
The relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and the Clintons spans decades, forming one of the most persistent and unsettling threads in the broader scandal surrounding elite privilege and political protection. From frequent visits to the Clinton White House in the 1990s to Epstein’s deeper entanglement with the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) in the 2000s, the ties are well-documented—and increasingly difficult to dismiss as coincidental.
Early Access: Epstein’s White House Visits (1993–1995)
According to visitor logs obtained via the Clinton Presidential Library, Jeffrey Epstein visited the White House at least 17 times, sometimes multiple times per day, totaling 37 separate entries between 1993 and 1995. Each time, he was signed in by Mark Middleton, a Clinton aide and then–Special Assistant to the President. Middleton worked closely with White House Chief of Staff Mack McLarty and was responsible for coordinating donor access and VIP introductions.
These visits occurred years before Epstein’s public emergence as a wealthy sex offender or financier. At the time, he was quietly ascending through the world of elite philanthropy, cultivating ties to scientists, politicians, and billionaires. His entry into the Clinton White House—typically reserved for donors, political allies, or key operatives—suggests he had established himself as more than a casual acquaintance.
Jet Flights and Clinton’s Travel
Between 2001 and 2003, Bill Clinton flew on Epstein’s private jet—dubbed the “Lolita Express”—at least 26 times, according to flight logs submitted in civil and criminal proceedings. These trips included international destinations, often tied to Clinton Foundation or CGI initiatives, such as anti-AIDS campaigns in Africa. Notably:
Five flights included no Secret Service detail, a rare and suspicious omission for a former U.S. president.
Flight manifests often included Ghislaine Maxwell and women later identified as Epstein trafficking victims, including Chauntae Davies, who later accused Epstein of abuse.
Clinton has denied ever visiting Epstein’s properties, including Little St. James island and the New Mexico Zorro Ranch, but survivor Virginia Giuffre testified that she saw Clinton on the island. While she stopped short of accusing him of misconduct, she quoted Epstein as saying, “He owes me a favor.”
Philanthropic Overlap: Epstein, CGI, and the Clinton Foundation
Despite his 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor, Epstein maintained ties to elite philanthropic circles, including the Clinton Global Initiative, founded in 2005. According to court filings and his legal team:
Epstein was “part of the original group that helped conceive” CGI.
He donated at least $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation and was reportedly involved in coordinating donor circles during CGI’s early years.
Survivors and journalists allege that Epstein used his philanthropic persona to legitimize his presence among global leaders—and that his ties to CGI helped insulate him from scrutiny even after his conviction.
Ghislaine Maxwell and Clintonworld
Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime associate and key enabler, enjoyed deep and enduring access to the Clinton inner circle:
She was invited to Chelsea Clinton’s wedding in 2010, two years after Epstein’s conviction.
She attended Clinton Global Initiative events through at least 2009, appearing in photographs with prominent politicians, foreign dignitaries, and billionaires.
Multiple sources, including Vanity Fair and The Daily Mail, reported that Maxwell was considered a fixture in elite political and donor circles—a status she retained long after the public knew of Epstein’s criminal record.
The Death of Mark Middleton
The man who had granted Epstein White House access, Mark Middleton, died under highly suspicious circumstances on May 7, 2022, at Heifer Ranch in Perry County, Arkansas. Authorities ruled his death a suicide, stating he:
Hung himself from a tree using an extension cord.
Sustained a shotgun wound to the chest.
Had a Stoeger 12-gauge shotgun found 30 feet away—an unusual detail, since it’s rare for a person to both shoot and hang themselves in a single act.
The crime scene photographs were sealed by court order at the request of Middleton’s family, citing online conspiracy threats. The official investigation concluded no foul play, but the bizarre nature of the death—and Middleton’s historical proximity to both Epstein and Clinton—has only fueled deeper suspicion.
5. The Epstein Connection: From the White House to CGI
The relationship between Jeffrey Epstein and the Clintons spans decades, forming one of the most persistent and unsettling threads in the broader scandal surrounding elite privilege and political protection. From frequent…

Implication
This section of the Clinton–Epstein saga underscores the depth and persistence of Epstein’s integration into elite networks. He was not a fringe figure or rogue actor. He was a trusted donor, guest, and travel companion, embedded in CGI programming and personal Clinton family events—even after his criminal conviction.
The FBI never pursued Epstein’s connections to Clinton with the same vigor it showed toward other politically sensitive figures. Neither Clinton was subpoenaed. No grand juries were convened to probe Epstein’s role in CGI, nor were co-conspirators publicly named during Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial. The failure to investigate these connections speaks to a broader pattern of protection and political calculation.

6. Institutional Self-Preservation Over Accountability
By the mid-2000s, the Clintons were no longer merely prominent political figures—they had become central nodes in a vast web of global influence, stretching across diplomacy, intelligence, philanthropy, media, and finance. Investigating them thoroughly did not just threaten their personal reputations; it risked exposing systemic vulnerabilities and implicating entire institutions. As a result, the FBI—alongside other elements of the Department of Justice and the intelligence community—opted for institutional self-preservation over legal accountability.
Covert Intelligence Operations
Bill Clinton’s presidency and Hillary Clinton’s tenure as Secretary of State intersected with numerous classified and sensitive operations:
Clinton-era U.S. covert action in the Balkans, Iraq, and post-Soviet states created enduring relationships between the Clinton inner circle and intelligence operatives.
The Clinton Foundation and its international reach meant that many of the Foundation’s foreign donors and partners may have also served as informal intelligence contacts or fronts.
Epstein himself was rumored to be protected by or connected to U.S. and foreign intelligence services, which former officials such as Alexander Acosta alluded to when he stated, “I was told he belonged to intelligence”—justifying the 2007 non-prosecution agreement.
Implication: A full investigation into the Clintons’ dealings—especially their ties to Epstein—could have unspooled covert partnerships, clandestine funding channels, or proxy operations involving allies, adversaries, and strategic regions.
Diplomatic Backchannels
The Clintons—especially Hillary as Secretary of State—operated parallel diplomatic networks through the Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative. These channels:
Bypassed traditional oversight by the State Department and Congress.
Enabled direct contact with foreign heads of state, royal families, and private global actors under the guise of charitable partnerships.
Created situations where diplomatic negotiations, grant allocations, and policy positions were potentially shaped by donor relationships, not national interest.
A full probe would have drawn in sovereign governments, multilateral institutions, and high-level foreign intelligence officers, risking massive geopolitical fallout.
Foreign Donor Corruption
Between 2001 and 2016, the Clinton Foundation received hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign governments and corporations—many of whom had business before the U.S. government while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.
Investigating these donations seriously would have forced the FBI to:
Subpoena foreign governments and multinationals.
Follow financial trails into offshore accounts and tax havens.
Confront the possibility that U.S. policy decisions were influenced or purchased.
Rather than risk that confrontation, FBI headquarters reportedly shut down or blocked multiple field office investigations, including those in Little Rock, New York, and Los Angeles, as confirmed by journalists and whistleblowers like John Solomon.
Blackmail Networks (e.g., Epstein)
Jeffrey Epstein’s operation was not just about personal exploitation—it was about leverage:
Surveillance systems in his New York and Palm Beach homes were reportedly used to record high-profile guests engaging in compromising acts.
His proximity to politicians, academics, and royals across the globe allowed him to build a blackmail portfolio.
Bill Clinton’s deep and well-documented association with Epstein—37 White House visits, 26 private jet flights, CGI donor overlap—placed him at potential risk.
Prosecuting Epstein thoroughly—especially post-2005—risked exposing not just Clinton, but a broader network of compromised officials across multiple governments.

Why the FBI Chose Silence
Faced with this tangle of risk, the FBI and DOJ leadership made a strategic calculation:
Better to protect the system—even if it meant allowing elite wrongdoers to escape justice.
Better to preserve public trust in institutions than to open scandals that would implicate diplomats, donors, and potentially even the intelligence community.
This posture of institutional protectionism explains:
The refusal to subpoena key Clinton Foundation donors.
The rewriting of Comey’s findings in the email probe.
The destruction of immunity-sealed evidence.
The refusal to publicly name Epstein’s clients.
In each case, accountability was delayed, diluted, or dismissed in favor of stability, optics, and reputational defense.
Conclusion
The FBI’s failure to hold the Clintons accountable was not merely about favoritism—it was about the preservation of an elite architecture of influence. To indict the Clintons would have meant exposing how American power—across diplomacy, security, and finance—is wielded behind closed doors. In choosing not to pursue justice, the Bureau upheld a dangerous principle: that power can insulate itself from the law when the stakes are too high.

A 2024 Lawsuit Detailing the FBI Gross Negligence
1. Decades of Delay and Inaction
The plaintiffs claim the FBI received credible reports about Epstein’s trafficking as early as 1996, yet only opened a case in 2006—a delay spanning a full decade
This mirrors earlier political-era misconduct (Travelgate, Filegate), where internal political considerations or institutional caution led to delayed or superficial investigations.
2. Cover-Up Allegations & Political Influence
The lawsuit describes how victims were ignored—cases were dropped, interviews never conducted, and field office leads blocked .
This aligns with the precedent of claims that FBI senior leadership intervened, as seen with Clinton-linked cases, to avoid politically damaging associations.
3. Suppression of Evidence
Plaintiffs assert the FBI seized tapes, flight logs, and victim interviews—and then effectively hid them.
Decades earlier, the FBI similarly deflected on sensitive Clinton-related records. In the Epstein context, the DOJ’s refusal to release a “client list” or full document collection in 2025 reinforces a continuing cover-up culture.
4. Institutional Self-Preservation
Facing high-level risks—intel exposure, donor scandal, sex-scandal associations—the FBI consistently chose to sideline evidence or dismiss cases rather than face political fallout.
Doing justice to Epstein’s trafficking would expose interconnected elites, including the Clintons, and risk unraveling systems of influence—a scenario mirroring the institutional rationale discussed earlier.
Implications for the Lawsuit
Negligence Standard
Victims accuse the FBI under the Federal Tort Claims Act of negligently failing to follow its own protocols—just as it once did in politically charged investigations.
Damage Linked to Cover-up
The lawsuit asserts that victims were abused repeatedly because the FBI chose not to act—a legal reflection of the theory that the FBI shielded political and institutional interests above all else.
Demand for Transparency
Plaintiffs request the unsealing of records—flight logs, witness statements, tapes—mirroring demands for transparency in EB and Clinton investigations. The DOJ’s refusal to release “Epstein files” continues to raise deep suspicion
Ongoing Culture of Protection
The Espionage-like silence around Epstein parallels earlier silence regarding Clinton. The lawsuit suggests that Epstein was similarly protected from exposure by virtue of his elite ties.
Conclusion
The “12 Jane Does vs. FBI” lawsuit is not just a claim of investigatory neglect—it is a legal crystallization of the institutional behaviors described throughout this paper:
Delay and delay tactics
Suppression of evidence
Political calculation over justice
Protection of elites at the cost of victims
A culture of silence spanning decades
Whether intentionally shielding powerful figures like Epstein—and by extension, those with whom he associated—the FBI faces serious scrutiny: did it, once again, prioritize institutional self-preservation over accountability and justice?
Clinton has never been subpoenaed or questioned under oath about his relationship with Epstein—despite being:
A frequent flyer on the “Lolita Express”
A foundation partner with Epstein-linked figures
Present at multiple overlapping events
This lack of inquiry is consistent with the FBI’s longstanding reluctance to fully investigate figures at the top of the political hierarchy, particularly when those figures are as globally entrenched as the Clintons.

Entin: Have the organizers of the July 17 demonstrations approached you?
Swart: Interests aligned with the organizers of the July 17 movement have approached us, and in fact, we rejected an offer that probably is worth around $20 million.
Entin: $20 million?
Swart: Correct. I mean, this is a nationwide thing, right? It’s not to say I would have made $20 million personally, but the value of the contract would have been worth around that amount, nationwide, to organize huge demonstrations around the country, but personally, I just don’t think it’s effective. So, I’m not trying to call myself virtuous for rejecting it. What I’m saying is, I’m saying I’m rejecting it, not because I don’t want to take the business, but because, frankly, this is going to be ineffective. It’s going to make us all look bad.
Here is the raw interview with “Crowds on Demand” CEO Adam Swart for full context: pic.twitter.com/3F6fLemih5
Timeline editor’s note: AI interpreted the confession letter posted in this X thread, and there are several significant errors. I put a line through the errors, and for some, I was unable to interpret them, so I left with a question mark.
“Dear Kash Patel,
My name is Dr. Vince Lethorn Berthar Dr. Vance Luther Boelter, Ed.D. I am the shooter at large in Minnesota involved in the June 12 shootings, which happened in the early morning hours of Saturday, June 13 — sometime between approximately 2:30 a.m. and 3:30 a.m.
I will probably be dead by the time you read this letter. I wanted to share some information with you that you might find interesting.
I was told trained by U.S. military people on the lakes during my release off the books starting in college. I’ve been on many operations since then in Eastern Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Africa — all in the line of duty, doing what I believed was right and in the best interest of the United States.
Recently, I was approached about a project that Tim Walz wanted done. Amy Klobuchar and Tina Keith Smith were involved. I wasn’t originally aware of the project — but Tim wanted me to kill Amy Klobuchar and Tina Keith Smith to force a planned retirement.
Tim Walz and Amy Klobuchar (Credit: public domain)
Tim wants to be a senator and didn’t trust them to retire as planned. With Amy gone, Tim would stay in at the last minute, get one of the open Senate seats, and [someone named] Elken Keith Ellison would be rewarded with a large government contract ?.
I told Tim I wasn’t willing to do it. I said if he didn’t call off that plan, I would go public. He said he would “call it off” — but instead, he set up murders said he would hurt my family if I don’t play ball. including one involving someone named Jan, Mel, and others Then he set up a meeting with me and Mel — and — to “get the dark types” when I moved ?.
They had some people trying to kill me. I was able to get away by God’s mercy. I went back a short time later and shot several of them.
You should note: I didn’t fire a single round at any peace officers. I had plenty of opportunity, but I didn’t take it. Ask for the report on how many weapons and how much ammunition I had on me.
When the cops pulled up right next to me in their vehicles, I had an AK pistol aimed right at their heads. I could have left a pile of cops dead — but I didn’t shoot. You can ask them yourself. I support law enforcement. That’s why I spared them.
But if they come after my wife and kids next time, I won’t give them a pass.
I want you to get on the phone and tell Tim [Walz] you have a few questions. Then ask him if he knows me. If he says no — that he never met me — go look at the files. You’ll see that Tim Walz personally groomed me and put me on his Governor’s task force boards as a business representative. He’s now trying to destroy me for his public record. appointed me to the Governor’s Workforce Board ?, the business representatives. He is probably trying to destroy that info but it’s public record.
Ask Tim why they kept the SWAT incidents ? silent from the media when they first happened. Not a word in the press. Why? Because they needed to get their stories straight figured out first. They didn’t want anyone wanted everyone on the same page about “what happened.”
Tim’s probably crapping bricks right now because I’m still at large, and he knows what I can declassify do. He knows what I know. I know where all the buried skeletons are.
S0 I will be shot on sight — you can bet on that. — because I know where all the buried skeletons are.
If I’m going to turn myself in, it needs to be directly to you, and I need to be held at a military prison near or in the Middle East — or at least on a ship. These guys have tour gains their guns everywhere, and can get to anybody.
I’m willing to spill all the beans. I just want my family safe. They had nothing to do with this and are totally innocent.
This was a one-person op.”

Johnson & Johnson Lead Scientist Confesses J&J COVID-19 Vaccine Was ‘Not Safe and Effective,’ Reveals “Lack of Research” From Rushing to Release Vaccine: “People Wanted It, We Gave It to Them”
“Do you have any idea the lack of research that was done on those products [vaccines]?”
“I mean we basically just had a race to figure out who could solve it best… At one point, we just canned it.”
BREAKING: Johnson & Johnson Lead Scientist Confesses J&J COVID-19 Vaccine Was ‘Not Safe and Effective,’ Reveals “Lack of Research” From Rushing to Release Vaccine: “People Wanted It, We Gave It to Them”
“We didn’t do the typical tests,” said Joshua Rys, a Lead Scientist in Regulatory Affairs for Johnson & Johnson (J&J), revealed on hidden camera that the typical clinical process was abandoned for the COVID-19 vaccine, knowingly bypassing standard testing protocols under pressure from the U.S. government and public demand. He added, “This was just, ‘let’s test it on some lab models… and just throw it to the wind and see what happens.’”
He acknowledged that the public wasn’t informed about the shortcuts, asking, “Do you have any idea the lack of research that was done on those products?” Rys claimed, “People wanted it, we gave it to them.”
While public officials claimed the vaccines were “safe and effective,” Rys pushed back. “There’s no proof. None of that stuff was safe and effective,” he said, adding that the industry relies on a benefit-risk tradeoff to justify product launches.
Rys also pointed to government pressure through Operation Warp Speed. “The government is like, ‘We need help… You’re solving this problem,’” he said. “People panic, so they try to solve it in whatever way they think is good.”
According to a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) spokesperson, “Even during a public health emergency, pharmaceutical companies are still required to follow strict protocols for clinical testing. For emergency use, companies must show that the benefits clearly outweigh the risks. Oversight doesn’t stop at approval — the FDA and other agencies also monitor products closely once they’re in use. That includes real-world safety tracking, independent advisory committees, and required reporting of any adverse events. These steps are in place to make sure public health decisions are based on solid science and strong safeguards — especially in emergencies.
Dr. Marty Makary and Dr. Vinay Prasad recently announced a new vaccine safety and transparency framework — one that’s built on gold-standard science, real-world data, and honest communication with the public and will require thorough safety testing before licensing. Their work is focused on strengthening trust, improving how we monitor safety after vaccines are in use, and making sure people have clear, accurate information to make informed decisions.
HHS remains committed to full transparency and evidence-based oversight — putting the safety of the American people first.”
OMG has reached out to Joshua Rys and Johnson & Johnson for comment regarding Rys’ statements.
