Ohio’s election integrity unit announced it had uncovered a voter fraud scheme that involved Haitians living in the state.

In a press release on Thursday, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose outlined details of the scheme and said he would “aggressively pursue” those involved, including third-party groups and paid canvassers.

The release stated:

Secretary of State Frank LaRose announced today that his Election Integrity Unit has issued a warning to Ohio’s 88 county boards of elections after an investigation uncovered the use of illegal voter registration forms by a government agency.

“This is a reminder to all of our elections officials to be vigilant as we enter the final weeks of voter registration eligibility for the 2024 general election,” said Secretary LaRose. “We’re continuing to aggressively pursue third-party groups and paid canvassers who’ve been submitting fraudulent registration forms, and we’re cracking down on the use of illegal forms that aren’t authorized by my office as the law requires. These investigations are happening even as we continue to broaden the enforcement of Ohio’s constitutional citizenship voting requirement.”

The office’s Election Integrity Unit recently concluded an investigation into the origins of an illegal voter registration form translated into the Haitian Creole language. The Clark County Board of Elections reported this form to our office after rejecting its submission by a local applicant.

“The Board confirmed they’ve only received one of these unauthorized forms, but they rightly recognized it as illegal and worked with my team to track down its source with the help of a county government assistance office,” said Hun Yi, Director of Investigations for the office’s Public Integrity Division, in a memo to elections officials. “The form was erroneously included among others outsourced to a foreign language translation service. It garnered national attention considering the high number of Haitian refugees that have recently migrated to the Springfield area, and it serves as an important reminder that boards and designated voter registration agencies should be vigilant about the use of forms submitted to their office.”

The memo also highlights the Secretary of State’s efforts to enhance the ongoing statewide audit of Ohio’s voter rolls for citizenship compliance, using records provided by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles and the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database. The office is also implementing more extensive cross-checks of Social Security Administration records, federal jury pool data, and naturalization records maintained by the justice system, while repeatedly asking the Biden-Harris administration to grant access to additional DHS databases, specifically the Person Centric Query Service (PCQS) database, the Person Centric Identity Services (PCIS) database, and the Central Index System 2…

…The memo concludes with a notice of ongoing investigations into evidence of a pattern of fraudulent voter registration activity in multiple counties under the paid employment of a group called Black Fork Strategies.

Black Fork Strategies has denied involvement in fraudulent activities, claiming they are cooperating with investigations and providing information about former canvassers. The company, owned by veteran organizer Kirk Noden, focuses on voter engagement and other campaign activities. Despite their assurances, the ongoing investigations continue to raise concerns about the integrity of Ohio’s election processes. (Read more: Badlands Media, 8/29/2024)

September 12, 2024 - House Committee moves to hold Blinken in contempt for not complying with subpoena re Afghanistan withdrawal

The House Foreign Affairs Committee announced Thursday that it will convene a review session to hold Secretary of State Antony Blinken in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with a subpoena to testify about the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Republican Texas Rep. Michael McCaul, committee chair, scheduled a review session for Sept. 19 to consider holding Blinken in contempt of Congress, claiming he failed to respond to a subpoena issued the previous week, which demanded his testimony on the withdrawal from Afghanistan, according to a press release.

Despite Blinken’s repeated testimonies before both the House and Senate, the committee insists on further testimony from him to shape potential legislative reforms aimed at avoiding similar future debacles, the Washington Examiner reported. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller expressed disappointment over the new subpoena and pointed to Blinken’s extensive prior cooperation with congressional inquiries into the matter.

“The Secretary has testified before the Congress on Afghanistan more than 14 times — more than any other Cabinet-level official,” Miller said, the Washington Examiner reported. “It is disappointing that instead of continuing to engage with the Department in good faith, the Committee instead has issued yet another unnecessary subpoena.”

Democratic New York Rep. Gregory Meeks also released a statement condemning McCaul’s call for a review session. “The scheduled Committee vote to hold Secretary Blinken in contempt, based on bogus allegations of wrongdoing that their own investigation has not proven, is just the latest act in the political theater that Republicans now wish to extend further into the election season,” Meeks said.

McCaul’s decision follows the House committee‘s investigation into the Afghanistan withdrawal, which culminated in a report issued Sunday. The 354-page report criticized the Biden administration’s handling of the withdrawal, which saw a resurgence of Taliban control and was marked by a deadly suicide attack at Kabul International Airport.

September 13, 2024 - AI analysis of ABC debate transcript reports clear evidence of bias

This is quite remarkable and brilliantly done. While we don’t need anything to confirm what our eyes and ears clearly heard/saw, a guy uploaded the entire transcript of the ABC debate into ChatGPT and asked the artificial intelligence system to review the content for the presence of bias. [Source Link] ChatGPT then analyzed the transcript and gives a summary opinion. The result is pretty amazing.

As previously mentioned, do not negate the ability of the American public to see through the manipulation by media. This is not 2015.

We are now in an era where institutional biases have been in the public spotlight for almost a decade. The gaslighting no longer carries the same impact or value.  Unfortunately, politicians in a bubble are usually the last people to understand where the American public stand on any issue.

This is also a dangerous time.  The most dangerous time in the lifecycle of any victim is that moment when the abuser realizes all of the prior behavioral control mechanisms no longer work.

Think Poland circa 1985, We The People have been in an abusive relationship with govt; President Donald Trump has led people to the streets and now a significant majority fully understand the scale of our assembly.

Thanks in part to the COVID-19 overreach, the govt (mostly DHS) is left controlling social media platforms that have lost their ability to constrain the free expression narrative.  Alternate communication networks are now plentiful; hence we see the U.S govt and Intelligence Community trying desperately to control Telegram, TikTok, Rumble and other venues.

September 12, 2024 - Sen. Blumenthal warns the American people will be shocked, astonished and appalled by report on Secret Service failures

Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) warned that the American public would be ‘shocked, astonished, and appalled’ by the level of incompetence and failure within the Secret Service surrounding the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.

(…) Chilling texts, which were obtained by the New York Times from local law enforcement, detail the frantic communications of counter snipers.

One of the countersnipers sent a message to his colleagues indicating that his shift was ending. At approximately 4:26 PM, he observed a suspicious individual—later identified as the assailant, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks—sitting on a picnic table just 50 yards from the exit.

“Guys I am out. Be safe,” the sniper wrote. “Someone followed our lead and snuck in and parked by our cars just so you know. I’m just letting you know because you see me go out with my rifle and put it in my car so he knows you guys are up there.”

He added that Crooks was “sitting to the direct right on a picnic table about 50 yards from the exit” in a message sent at 4:27 PM, a little over 90 minutes before the gunman fired. The two other countersnipers responded with a thumbs-up emoji and a “Roger that.”

(…) Even more damning is the revelation that former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle and her agency reportedly denied repeated requests for increased security by worried agents assigned to Trump’s detail.

Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) shared whistleblower information about the dismal training provided to Homeland Security personnel assigned to protect Trump during the Butler rally.

According to the whistleblower, these agents received only a “two-hour online webinar” as their preparation for the high-stakes event. The training was described as inadequate, with pre-recorded videos riddled with technical glitches.

Blumenthal, speaking to reporters on Capitol Hill, promised that an upcoming report on the incident will reveal damning details about the Secret Service’s failures that day.

“I think the American people are going to be shocked, astonished, and appalled by what we will report to them about the failures by the Secret Service in this assassination attempt on a former president,” Blumenthal said.

This comes after acting U.S. Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe briefed senators on Thursday during a closed-door meeting, providing an update on the ongoing investigation into the attempted assassination, Fox News reported.

Blumenthal was tight-lipped on the specifics of the report but made it clear that the findings would expose a litany of errors.

(…) He went on to blast DHS for its lack of transparency, calling out the department for withholding critical information.  (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 9/13/2024)  (Archive)

September 13, 2024 - IRS whistleblowers sue Hunter Biden’s defense counsel for defamation

The two IRS agents who blew the whistle on the Hunter Biden tax investigation and significantly altered the course of the case, on Friday night sued the first son’s lawyer Abbe Lowell for defamation.

The two whistleblowers, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, are suing for libel because of the alleged damage done to their careers, and are requesting a jury trial in Washington, D.C.

The whistleblowers originally brought concerns to the House Ways and Means Committee that the Justice Department had provided preferential treatment to Biden during a probe into his alleged tax violations.

Shapley and Ziegler alleged in Friday’s legal complaint that Lowell acted with malice by sending letters to several different Congressional committees, where the lawyer “falsely accused the Plaintiffs of violating grand jury secrecy rules … and the taxpayer confidentiality statute.”

“It is particularly ironic and damaging that a well-known attorney like Lowell—in his words, ‘one of the country’s foremost white collar defense and trial lawyers’ that is ‘widely viewed as counsel of choice for individuals facing government investigations and potential indictments’—has chosen to falsely accuse these special agents of criminal behavior,”  the lawsuit, obtained by Just The News, reads. “Lowell’s stature and credibility in the legal community have amplified the harm caused by his defamatory statements.”

They also accused Lowell of intentionally leaking “malicious and false allegations, including accusations that Shapley and Ziegler ‘committed felonies’ and ‘violated the law,'” to third parties, including the press, that have harmed the pair’s reputations. (JusttheNews, 9/13/2024)  (Archive)

September 13, 2024 - Fani Willis defies subpoena, skips Georgia State Senate hearing on “alleged misconduct” related to Trump RICO case

As previously reported, Fani Willis is trying to block subpoenas requiring her to testify before a Georgia State Senate Committee about her relationship with Nathan Wade after she was caught perjuring herself.

Fani Willis had an illicit affair with Nathan Wade, the top prosecutor she hired to hunt down Trump in her RICO and conspiracy case against the former president.

In February 2024 Fani Willis testified under oath that her relationship with her then-top prosecutor Nathan Wade had ended months ago.

Fani Willis skipped the hearing on Friday even though she was subpoenaed by a special state committee!

“Let’s please note for the record that Ms. Willis has failed to appear in compliance with the subpoena and has failed to produce documents requested,” Committee chairman Senator Bill Cowsert said.

Cowsert added that “the committee has hired outside legal counsel to assist in the enforcement of the subpoena.” the AP reported. (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 9/13/2024)  (Archive)

September 12, 2024 (The day before)

A judge tossed two counts against former President Donald Trump Thursday in the case brought by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

While Judge Scott McAfee declined to toss the whole indictment under the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause, he found that some charges did “lie beyond this State’s jurisdiction,” including the two counts against Trump and another against co-defendants. Willis indicted Trump and 18 others in August 2023 for allegedly interfering in the 2020 election in Georgia.

“President Trump and his legal team in Georgia have prevailed once again,” Steve Sadow, lead counsel for Trump in the Fulton County case, said in a statement. “The trial court has decided that counts 15 and 27 in the indictment must be quashed/dismissed.”

McAfee tossed counts 14, 15, and 27 of the indictment, which contained allegations related to filing false documents in federal court. (The Daily Caller, 9/12/2024)

September 13, 2024 - Kamala Harris gives bizarre “word-salad” interview highlighting why campaign director Brian Fallon tries to keep her hidden

Kamala Harris gave her first post-debate interview to ABC News6, Philadelphia.  The media outlet understood the potential risk of the interview following public ridicule of the national ABC News debate.   As a result, ABC News6 has posted the full unedited interview, and the responses by Kamala Harris highlight exactly why Brian Fallon has tried to keep her away from speaking without a teleprompter.

Not only does Kamala Harris fail to answer the questions, the responses she gives are ridiculous word-salad replies about ancillary issues that are not even connected to the primary topic being queried.  WATCH:

September 13, 2024 - Hillary Clinton found it ‘exciting’ when Joe Biden dropped out

Hillary shared an audio clip she recorded of her epilogue for her upcoming book with Morning Joe:

After I got off the phone with the vice president I looked at Bill with a huge smile and said, “This is exciting!” I felt promise, I felt possibility. It was exhilarating! When I imagine Kamala standing before the Capitol next January, taking the oath of office as our first woman president, my heart leaps. After hard years of division, it will prove that our best days are still ahead and that we are making progress on our long journey toward a more perfect union. And it will make such a difference in the lives of hard-working people everywhere.

Democrats have lost our standard-bearer. We will miss Joe Biden’s steady leadership, deep empathy, and fighting spirit. He is a wise and decent man who served our country well. Yet we have gained much too: a new champion, an invigorated campaign, and a renewed sense of purpose.

This is what was supposed to happen since Biden “picked” Harris as his VP. I swear this was the Democrats’ plan all along.

I highly doubt Hillary is as excited as she says, though. After all, in her mind, the first female president should have been her.

September 16, 2024 - Highlights of Sean "Diddy" Combs arrest; secret sex tapes of politicians and celebrities at his "freak off" parties

Sean “Diddy” Combs (Credit: public domain)

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ former bodyguard, Gene Deal, has alleged that the rap mogul possesses secret tapes of politicians and celebrities engaging in scandalous activities at his notorious “freak off” parties, the Daily Mail reported.

The claims come on the heels of Diddy’s recent indictment on serious charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking, and suggest a broader conspiracy that could implicate high-profile officials and celebrities.

According to the New York Post:

When federal prosecutors raided Sean “Diddy” Combs’ homes in Miami and Los Angeles, they found 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lube that were used during “Freak Off” sex sessions, according to an indictment.

Combs’ staff — including “high-ranking supervisors,” security, household workers and personal assistants — all helped to arrange for elaborate Freak Offs where victims were forced to engage in sex while Combs masturbated and recorded, the court papers allege.

Combs’ employees booked hotel rooms, arranged for transportation for victims, male prostitutes and Combs, and stocked Freak Off products in the hotel rooms like drugs, baby oil, lube, extra linens and lighting, the feds allege in the indictment.

During a March raid on Combs’ two homes on the East and West coasts, the feds found “Freak Off supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant,” the court documents allege.

Combs’ staff would later clean to “mitigate room damage” and they would schedule IV delivery to help the victims “recover from the physical exertion and drug use” of the sometimes days-long Freak Offs, the indictment alleges.

After pleading not guilty to the charges, Diddy was remanded to the Metropolitan Detention Center on September 17, where he has been denied bail twice.

Reports indicate that his placement on suicide watch is due to Combs being ‘in shock’ and grappling with an ‘unclear’ mental state.

During an appearance on The Art of Dialogue podcast, Diddy’s former bodyguard, Deal, asserted that Diddy’s legal troubles are merely the tip of the iceberg.

(…) When asked if any celebrities appear on the alleged ‘freak off’ tapes, Deal responded, “(Diddy) hosted celebrity parties, so what do you think? I think they’re not telling the whole truth.”

FBI Seize ‘Horrific’ Obama ‘Freak Off’ Tapes Featuring Underage Justin Bieber

The FBI are scrambling to cover up “damaging” footage of the Obamas and other VIP elites engaged in depraved sex acts with minors including underage popstars, according to witnesses who were present during some of their worst excesses.

Described as worse than Frazzledrip, the scope of the FBI investigation is being kept under a tight wrap because the authorities are desperate to protect the powerful names implicated in Diddy’s blackmail operation.

Unfortunately for the elite, whistleblowers including those closest to Diddy and his entourage are coming forward to expose what they know about sex crimes perpetrated at his infamous Freak Off parties attended by a Who’s Who of Hollywood and D.C.

 

Once again, I want to make clear that we are not making any accusations here, just showing you what I’ve found on Twitter and Rumble.

“There already have been tapes leaking around Hollywood being shopped around, but one particular person contacted me to shop a particular video they were in possession of,” Mitchell-Kidd would not reveal who was in the tape but says Diddy and someone “more high-profile” could be seen in the tape.

“The other person in the video is very visible. … And I can tell the video was pornographic. This was in his Atlanta home, and it does seem like the person isn’t looking into the video. To me, doesn’t seem like that person knows they’re being videotaped.”

September 16, 2024 - Transcripts conflict with DoD IG and show President Trump's directives to Pentagon leadership to "keep January 6 safe" were deliberately ignored

(Credit: Mark Wilson/Getty Images)

Committee on House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight Chairman Barry Loudermilk (GA-11) revealed that days before January 6, 2021, President Trump met with senior Pentagon leaders urging them to do their jobs to protect lives and property. The transcripts released show Trump gave senior Pentagon leadership directives to keep January 6 peaceful – including using the National Guard – which the Pentagon leaders ignored. This revelation directly contradicts the conclusions drawn in the flawed DoD IG report on January 6, 2021.

In response to these revelations, Chairman Loudermilk released the following statement:

“Pentagon leadership prioritized concerns of optics over their duty to protect lives,” said Chairman Loudermilk. “President Trump met with senior Pentagon leaders and directed them to make sure any events on January 6, 2021 were safe. It is very concerning that these Senior Pentagon officials ignored President Trump’s guidance AND misled Congressional Leaders to believe they were doing their job, when they were not. The DoD IG’s report is fundamentally flawed. It does not draw conclusions from the interviews they conducted, but pushes a narrative to keep their hands clean. We have many questions for them, and we will continue to dig until we are satisfied the American people know the truth.”

See below for a full breakdown of the Pentagon leaders’ choices to ignore President Trump’s directives.

Days before January 6, 2021, President Trump met with senior Pentagon leaders urging them to do their jobs to protect lives and property. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Mark Milley, recalls a conversation between the Acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller, and President Trump:

Milley: “The President just says, ‘Hey, look at this. There’s going to be a large amount of protestors here on the 6th, make sure that you have sufficient National Guard or Soldiers to make sure it’s a safe event.’… [POTUS said] I don’t care if you use Guard, or Soldiers, active duty Soldiers, do whatever you have to do. Just make sure it’s safe.’ [SecDef] Miller responds by saying, ‘Hey, we’ve got a plan, and we’ve got it covered.’”

Major General William Walker

On January 5, the Secretary of the Army, Ryan McCarthy, placed unprecedented restrictions on DCNG Commander Major General William Walker to prevent any movement to the Capitol without Secretary McCarthy’s explicit permission on January 6 and 7.

On January 6, 2021, the outer perimeter on the West Front of the U.S. Capitol was breached by rioters at 12:53pm. The DCNG arrived five hours later. Click here to view the timeline.

These transcripts prove President Trump’s senior Pentagon leaders were focused on OPTICS, instead of doing their job, as the Capitol was breached:

Miller: “There was absolutely – there is absolutely no way I was putting U.S. military forces at the Capitol, period.”

Director of the Army Staff, Lieutenant General Walter Piatt: “Was optics a concern for us as we prepared to use soldiers downtown in Washington D.C? Absolutely.”

As “optics” concerns were being discussed and Secretary McCarthy claims he was ‘developing a plan’, the DCNG was ready to move, less than 2 miles from the Capitol – awaiting Secretary McCarthy’s authorization.

Walker’s General Counsel, Colonel Earl Matthews: “We were seeing the Congress of the United States being overrun, and the Guard – and the Capitol Police, the MPD, they need help. We had people at the D.C. Armory who are able to help, and they’re not moving. They’re not allowed to move.”

DCNG Command Sergeant Major Michael Brooks: “They were ready to go, and they just couldn’t understand why they were still sitting there. Literally sitting on a bus, just waiting to drive to the Capitol and do the best they could do to support Capitol Police.”

At 3:04pm, Miller provided verbal approval to Secretary McCarthy for immediate deployment of the DCNG. What was Secretary McCarthy doing between receiving this approval, and 5:08pm, when the order eventually reaches the D.C. National Guard? Why didn’t he communicate this approval for a full two hours?

At 3:18pm, Secretary McCarthy told Congressional Democrat Leadership that the DC National Guard had the “green light” and “is moving”. Two hours would pass before Secretary McCarthy’s deployment order would ACTUALLY be communicated to the DCNG.

In these vital hours, the DCNG had been trying but was unable to reach Secretary McCarthy.

DCNG Adjutant General Aaron Dean: “[Walker] tried to call Secretary McCarthy three times between 2:30 and 5pm. He said, ‘I haven’t heard from him all day.’  When he tried to call his cell phone, it went straight to voicemail.” (Committee on House Administration, 9/20/2024)  (Archive)

Breitbart reported July 16, 2022:

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) called on Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley to honor his word and stop dodging questions about allegations in Bob Woodward and Robert Costa’s book Peril that he usurped President Donald Trump’s power as commander in chief after the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, in violation of the law.

Grassley and Banks both spoke Thursday on the floors of the Senate and House respectively to remind Milley he told members of Congress he would review the allegations in the book and get back to them to say if they are true. Despite repeated requests, he has still not said if they are true.

“Milley allegedly placed military hands — his hands — on controls that belonged exclusively to the president. According to Peril, [he] summoned senior operation officers in the military command center to his office,” Grassley said, adding, “He had them take ‘an oath’ not to ‘act’ on the president’s orders without checking with him first,” Grassley said.

Grassley continued:

These brazen words and actions, if accurate, strike at the heart of our democracy — civilian control of the military. They turn this guiding rule upside down and show utter contempt for the commander-in-chief coming from the nation’s top general. They are dangerous and contrary to military code 10 US Code 888.

Grassley went on to respond to Milley in one of many follow-ups:

“After my third note, Gen. Milley responded with the same old smoke and mirrors routine: ‘I have never read the books.’ Years of oversight have taught…

September 16, 2024 - Hillary Clinton pushes criminal charges for Americans who spread Russian “disinformation”

September 17, 2024 - Billionaire hedge fund owner John Paulson says he’ll yank his money from market if Kamala Harris wins election

Billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson has threatened to remove his money from the US markets if Vice President Kamala Harris defeats former President Donald Trump in November’s presidential election.

The Paulson & Co. founder — also a Trump megadonor — made the shocking revelation during his appearance on Fox Business’ “The Claman Countdown,” on Tuesday.

“It depends on the policy, if Harris is elected I would pull my money from the market,” Paulson said. “I’d go into cash and I’d go into gold because I think the uncertainty regarding the plans they outlined would create a lot of uncertainty in the markets and likely lower markets.”

Paulson cited the policies Harris’ campaign laid out that would focus on more centralized price controls and new government spending programs.

The future of the American stock market and economy relies on the winner of the Nov. 5 general election, the 64-year-old investor insisted.

“It very much depends on who is in the White House and who controls Congress,” Paulson said. “I’d be very concerned if Harris is elected and pursues the tax plans and other economic plans that she articulated.”

“If they do implement a 25 percent tax on unrealized gains, that would cause mass selling of almost everything — stocks, bonds, homes, art. I think it would cause a crash in the markets and a pretty quick recession.

Economists have estimated the plans would cost over $1.7 trillion. (Read more: The New York Post, 9/18/2024)  (Archive)

September 16, 2024 - Hawley releases whistleblower report on Secret Service failures in first Trump assassination attempt

Full Hawley Whistleblower Report

September 17, 2024 - IG Report skewers State Department's handling of Iran envoy Robert Malley's access to classified info, after his security clearance was revoked

The State Department grossly mishandled its suspension of scandal-plagued Iran envoy Robert Malley, allowing him to continue accessing classified information and sensitive data after he was disciplined, according to an inspector general report reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon.

The department’s assistant inspector general gathered congressional staffers Wednesday afternoon for a closed-door briefing on the agency’s missteps after Malley had his security clearance pulled in 2023 for mishandling classified information. The briefing revealed that Malley was permitted to engage in classified activities even after his clearance was pulled, representing a breach of federal protocol, according to attendees. Malley was also treated differently than other employees accused of a major security breach, with the State Department working to shield him from public embarrassment, according to the inspector general report that accompanied the briefing.

Information about Malley’s situation was withheld from senior State Department officials, including his own deputy, according to some who attended the briefing. The inspector general further determined that Malley was still performing his official duties after his security clearance was revoked, again in breach of State Department protocol.

The briefing and accompanying report provide a rare window into Malley’s suspension and the circumstances surrounding it. The Iran envoy’s security clearance was originally revoked in late April 2023, but the State Department kept it hidden from public view for more than two months. That process “deviated” from department policy, the inspector general determined.

“The Department deviated from the way that suspensions are typically delivered by delaying notification to Mr. Malley until senior Department officials were apprised of his suspension,” according to a copy of the report. “The delay allowed him the opportunity to participate in a classified conference call after the suspension was approved, but before he was notified.”

The “secure telephone call” referenced in the report took place on April 21, after Malley’s security clearance was revoked and included White House officials.

In late May, a month after Malley had his clearance revoked, he was included in an email with then-undersecretary for political affairs Victoria Nuland regarding talking points for Secretary of State Antony Blinken. Nuland reported being “unaware of [Malley’s] clearance suspension despite having to work with” him on sensitive matters.

“Special Envoy Malley’s advice was also regularly sought and provided on issues including media talking points and Congressional testimony,” investigators found.

The State Department even went so far as to restore Malley’s “access to Sensitive But Unclassified information systems, although such access is usually restricted for individuals in circumstances similar to Mr. Malley,” investigators determined. “A key justification for the restoration of access was concern that, if Special Envoy Malley was restricted from accessing his Department email account, he might use a personal email account as his primary means of conducting government business, which is explicitly prohibited by Department policy.”

“The lack of supervision of Special Envoy Malley led to significant confusion as to what work Mr. Malley was authorized to do following the suspension,” according to the report. “The Department failed to consistently notify employees who regularly interacted with Mr. Malley that he was no longer allowed to access classified information. These conditions likely led to Special Envoy Malley engaging on issues outside the limited scope of issues on which he was authorized to work.”

(…) The inspector general report says that Malley is still technically the Biden-Harris administration’s Iran envoy and will remain so “until he resigns or is removed by the Department if his security clearance is [permanently] revoked.”

The investigation into Malley quickly sparked a firestorm on Capitol Hill, with the House Foreign Affairs Committee accusing the State Department of stonewalling multiple requests for information. The committee, in fact, only learned of Malley’s alleged indiscretion through media reports.

“The Department’s failure to inform Congress of this matter demonstrates at best a lack of candor, and at worst represents deliberate and potentially unlawful misinformation,” Rep. Michael McCaul (R., Texas), the committee’s chairman, wrote in a June 2023 letter to the State Department first reported by the Free Beacon.

September 18, 2024 - Congressional probe into political fundraising platform ActBlue finds potential ‘criminal activity’

A congressional investigation analyzing more than 200 million political contributions found potential “criminal activity” and referred the information to five state attorneys general for further review.

The review involved donation reports from ActBlue, an online Democratic fundraising platform, to the Federal Election Commission, according to Rep. Bryan Steil (R-Wis.), chairman of the House Administration Committee.

“This investigation focused on potential unlawful exploitation of unwitting ‘straw donors,’ whose identities may have been used to channel illicit funds into campaigns in your state,” Steil wrote in a Sept. 18 letter to the attorneys general.

Steil sent letters and information collected over the past year to Texas, Virginia, Arkansas, Florida, and Missouri for further investigation into ActBlue.

“The final analysis produced a set of anomalous donor profiles, ranked by the severity of the inconsistencies. In reviewing this analysis, it became clear there is suspicious activity occurring that warrants further review,” the letter stated.

ActBlue did not require a card verification value (CVV), according to Steil, which made it vulnerable to foreign and illegal contributions. (Read more: The Epoch Times, 9/20/2024) (Archive)

September 18, 2024 - Secret Service whistleblower: Agents violated protocol and ignored the known vulnerable spot Routh was hiding in for 12 hours

A Secret Service whistleblower has made a bombshell claim about a security lapse at former President Donald Trump’s Florida golf course where a would-be assassin was found with an AK-47. The 78-year-old former president was enjoying a round of golf in West Palm Beach when Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, allegedly stuck the barrel of his weapon through the chain-link fence.

It was later revealed that agents had spotted Routh prior to the assassination attempt, and Republican Sen. Josh Hawley now says the Secret Service failed to secure the perimeter.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the plausibility of the whistleblower’s allegations.

September 18, 2024 - Senators ask "broadband czar" Kamala Harris about her mismanagement of $42 billion fund for broadband in rural America

FCC Commissioner @BrendanCarrFCC slams Vice President Kamala Harris’s $42 billion broadband initiative, saying it hasn’t connected a single person to the internet in 3 years.

“In 2021, VP Harris agreed to lead a $42 billion effort to expand internet access to millions. It’s been 1,039 days, and no one has been connected—no homes, no businesses, not even a shovel in the ground.”

Carr adds, “It gets worse. No infrastructure will begin until next year at the earliest, and in many cases, not until 2026. This makes it the slowest federal broadband program in recent history.”

Carr accuses the administration of focusing on climate change, DEI, and other political goals instead of connecting Americans. He points out that the government revoked a $1,300 per location deal with @Starlink after President Biden targeted
@elonmusk, and now the government is spending over $100,000 per location on its own efforts.

“The bottom line: Without major reforms, VP Harris’s $42 billion program is wired to fail. It’s time to correct course. Get rid of all the extraneous political goals and focus on quickly connecting Americans.”
