July 21, 2025 - More on the never investigated Clinton thumb drives mentioned in the 2018 DOJ/OIG report and recently released by Grassley

Jason Foster was the Chief Investigative Counsel for Chuck Grassley and the Senate Judiciary Committee.

For the record, I have not been a source for this or any other story mentioning the classified appendix to the @JusticeOIG’s Clinton e-mail report.

However, I will state publicly—without revealing anything I’m legally obligated to keep confidential—that as @ChuckGrassley’s chief investigator at the time, we arranged a bipartisan briefing for Senators on the Judiciary Cmte.

Then-DOJ IG Michael Horowitz summarized the information in the appendix to the several Democrat and Republican Senators who chose to attend.

Each of them, from both sides of the aisle, expressed shock that the gov’t turned a blind-eye to the information at issue. Even prominent Democrat Senators acknowledged in this private setting that it required further investigation, even if it was likely to be politically embarrassing for their party.

IG Horowitz explained why his office was limited in conducting further inquiry due to jurisdictional issues. I urged him to partner with the Intelligence Community Inspector General (IC IG) on a joint follow-up probe, an idea which several of the Senators present thoroughly endorsed.

To my knowledge, no joint DOJ/IC IG probe ever happened. But I left in Fall 2018, so I’m not privy to nonpublic developments that may have occurred after that.

One of the things I did before I left was to seek a briefing from the FBI to explain its failure to investigate the information in the DOJ IG appendix, regardless of whether the rest of the Intelligence Community did anything.

A first-term Trump-era congressional affairs official acknowledged to me that it was a huge and legitimate concern and that the FBI needed to answer for it—but asked for more time to “get their arms around it” before coming in to brief us.

No such FBI briefing occurred while I was still there.

July 22, 2025 - There is ‘clear evidence there was collusion’ between Biden WH and anti-Trump lawfare operators

On Tuesday’s “Charlie Kirk Show,” “Alex Marlow Show,” host and Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow discussed details from his forthcoming book Breaking the Law: Exposing the Weaponization of America’s Legal System Against Donald Trump.

Marlow stated, “[T]here is clear evidence there was collusion from the Joe Biden White House with these various cases. One key example is Nathan Wade going to the White House two times for a total of I think it was about 16 hours of meetings at the White House, during the middle of this. … Nathan Wade was a family lawyer, he was a nobody, he would never be on a case like this in a million years.”

He added, “And him doing this somehow also got him invited to the White House, there’s no scenario that Nathan Wade was talking about in that White House other than how to get Donald Trump.”

He further stated that Congress will have to investigate this since people outside government can’t due to how disclosure rules work. (Breitbart News, 7/22/2025)  (Archive)

July 21, 2025 - Speaker Johnson has no issue compelling testimony from Obama

July 22, 2025 - Iran and China circumvent sanctions via notorious bank and Letitia James is implicated

The Standard Chartered Bank sanctions evasion case, now in court in the US Second Circuit, found at least $9.6 billion of illegal payments by the bank to Iranian and Hezbollah entities.

The case implicates NYAG Letitia James and the Federal Reserve for ignoring billions of these illicit payments and ignoring Treasury sanctions designations. Maximum Pressure is not being enforced because of the failures of the Fed and the NYAG.

Make sure this case continues.

** Call the Southern District of New York …. Office number: 212-637-2200

At least $9.6 billion of specifically identified illicit payments were made by SCB from its NYC branch to OFAC and known terrorist names. The $9.6 billion was found in internal trade reports turned over by bank whistleblowers and represents the first batch from SCB Dubai office that cleared through SCB NYC. There are estimated over $100 billion more of illegal payments that are more recent and from SCB China where it has 53 mainland branches that facilitate dollar trade payments for oil and war-making materials.

These payments were hidden by SCB from required disclosure in its ongoing Deferred Prosecution Agreement now under the jurisdiction of DCUSA Pirro and SDNY Clayton where both were briefed on SCB after their appointments. There are career blockers at each jurisdiction.

Involvement by the NYAG

In early 2024, NYAG was briefed by terrorist financing experts and the whistleblowers in detail on the illicit payments yet did nothing about it other than reapprove SCB annual license.

NYAG was briefed in two meetings in February and March 2024 about the $9,6 billion of illegal payments and did nothing but approve the annual renewal of SCB State banking license. One of meetings was recorded and clearly shows that NYAG officials recognized the payments were not previously known and not in prior SCB sanctions settlements. Five NYAG senior staff including Letitia James Deputy Scott Spiegleman were in all meetings. In late 2024, Spiegleman went to work for IBM which has a large tech contract running the SWIFT platform.  IBM Promontory advised SCB to hide currency trade data.

July 23, 2025 - Grassley asks Kash Patel to review newly discovered thumb drives containing info on Clinton email scandal

House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Rick Crawford (AR-01) and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) recently sent a letter to Federal Bureau of Investigations FBI Director Kash Patel requesting that the FBI review the unevaluated material related to Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server and mishandling of highly classified information during her time as Secretary of State.

This untapped and unreviewed information has lived within thumb drives in the FBI’s custody inside a Northern Virginia offshoot office of the FBI’s Washington Field Office since 2018. This letter was sent in response to Chairman Grassley’s efforts to get the appendix to the DOJ OIG’s June 2018 report reviewing the DOJ and FBI’s handling of the Clinton investigation, also known as the “Clinton annex,” declassified.

Chairmen Crawford and Grassley wrote, “The revelations contained in the declassified OIG appendix are at the heart of why the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) became distrusted by so many under your agency’s prior directors: a failure to impartially conduct its law enforcement and intelligence mission. Concerning the issue at hand, Comey’s FBI shockingly failed to review and exploit evidence in its own possession, even though they admitted in written memos the information was necessary to conduct a ‘thorough and complete investigation.’ The FBI also failed to review and exploit other foreign intelligence information.”

They continued, “Therefore, we now write to stress the importance that this material be immediately dug out from hiding and properly assessed. How evidence which purportedly includes information related to ‘former President Barack Obama’s emails’ and ‘network infrastructure diagrams for U.S. government classified networks,’ remained unreviewed by the preeminent law enforcement agency in the world is mind-numbing. We know you will not similarly ignore evidence in your agency’s possession, no matter where its exploitation or conclusions might lead.”

Read the full letter here.

Notably, the declassified Clinton Annex revealed that:

  • Russian-language reports were also obtained by the FBI of discussions between then-DNC head, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, and George Soros’ Open Society Foundations, with suggestions concerning the deletion of evidence on Hillary Clinton’s email servers, mention of FBI’s investigation into the Clinton Foundation, and reports suggesting then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch was in contact with Hillary Clinton’s staff.
  • DOJ OIG also relied on the now-debunked Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) on the Russia collusion hoax during its review, once again shedding light on the damage caused by the ICA’s widely spread tentacles.

July 22, 2025 - Senate Republicans reopen the Clinton email investigation

(Credit: Kelo)

Senate Republicans are re-opening the Clinton email probe. It had to be done. Several thumb drives were never analyzed, with a detailed report showing that the FBI came up with laughable reasons not to do it, deviating from department policy.

As Matt Taibbi, a former contributing editor to Rolling Stone, noted, the 35-page annex to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s 2018 report on the DOJ’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email server and the 2016 election was a Keystone Cops operation.

With such glaring incompetence, it was reported last night that this probe will be re-examined.

Justice is coming, but before it does, many more media people are going to have meltdowns.

From Sen. Chuck Grassley’s (R-IA) press release:

The DOJ OIG’s Clinton annex shows the FBI obtained thumb drives from a source during the Clinton investigation, but then-FBI Director James Comey, as well as then-Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe, former FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok and others, failed to perform additional, targeted searches of the drives, even though they contained information relevant to the inquiry. The DOJ OIG report illustrates that the FBI failed to thoroughly and completely investigate the Clinton matter as a result, as well as vet the serious national security risks created by Clinton’s careless handling of highly classified information. According to the DOJ OIG, the thumb drives contained highly sensitive information exfiltrated from U.S. government agencies, including the Department of State, as well as then-President Barack Obama’s emails and, potentially, congressional information. The thumb drives were never reviewed as part of the Clinton investigation, contrary to the recommendation of a draft FBI memorandum. The DOJ OIG report also shows the drives should have been immediately reviewed for foreign intelligence purposes, but were not.

The FBI also obtained intelligence reports discussing purported communications between Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), who was chairwoman of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) at the time, and two different individuals who worked for the Soros Open Society Foundations. The intelligence reports alleged that the Obama administration took efforts to scuttle the investigation into Clinton and protect her candidacy. The DOJ OIG Clinton annex shows Comey, McCabe and Strzok, among others, did not make serious investigative efforts to determine the veracity, or lack thereof, regarding the intelligence reports.

On July 5, 2016, Comey exonerated Clinton in a public statement regarding the investigation and recommended DOJ take no legal action to hold her accountable. Grassley’s oversight revealed Comey planned to exonerate Clinton even before interviewing her. Weeks later, on July 31, 2016, Comey’s FBI formally opened the bogus Crossfire Hurricane investigation into President Trump’s disproven collusion with Russia. On that day, Strzok texted Lisa Page, an FBI lawyer, saying: “And damn this feels momentous. Because this matters. The other one did, too, but that was to ensure we didn’t F something up. This matters because this MATTERS. So super glad to be on this voyage with you.”

Grassley cited Comey’s handling of the Clinton investigation as evidence that Comey lacked the ability to maintain the public’s trust in the FBI, and was therefore rightfully terminated.

July 23, 2025 - House panel votes to subpoena Bill and Hillary Clinton over possible links to Ghislaine Maxwell

A House Oversight panel subcommittee voted to subpoena Bill and Hillary Clinton on Wednesday over their alleged ties to notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) introduced the motion for subpoenas during a Federal Law Enforcement Subcommittee hearing, and it was approved by the Republican-led panel via voice vote, with no roll call taken.

The Clintons and several former top Justice Department officials — ex-FBI Director James Comey, one-time special counsel Robert Mueller and former Attorneys General Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions and Alberto Gonzales — were included in the list of subpoenas sought by Perry in order to “expand the full committee’s investigation into Ms. Maxwell.”

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) would need to formally issue the subpoenas to the Clintons and the others for them to be compelled to provide testimony or documents to the panel.

“Subpoenas will be issued in the future,” a spokesperson for the House Oversight Committee told The Post.

(…) The subcommittee’s actions come after Comer subpoenaed Maxwell, who has been serving a 20-year prison sentence since 2022, to sit for a deposition with the Oversight Committee.

The deposition has tentatively been scheduled for Aug. 11, at the Federal Correctional Institution Tallahassee, where Maxwell has been incarcerated since her conviction on sex-trafficking conspiracy charges. (Read more: New York Post, 7/23/2025)  (Archive)

July 23, 2025 - Tulsi Gabbard new doc release: "Here are the top Obama Russia Hoax lies debunked"

New evidence has emerged of the most egregious weaponization and politicization of intelligence in American history. Per President @realDonaldTrump’s directive, I have declassified a @HouseIntel oversight majority staff report that exposes how the Obama Administration manufactured the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment that they knew was false, promoting the LIE that Vladimir Putin and the Russian government helped President Trump win the 2016 election.

In doing so, they conspired to subvert the will of the American people, working with their partners in the media to promote the lie, in order to undermine the legitimacy of President Trump, essentially enacting a years-long coup against him.

Here are the top Obama Russia Hoax lies debunked by today’s release:

dni.gov/files/ODNI/doc

LIE: Putin and the Russian Government helped Trump win the 2016 election

TRUTH: President Obama, former Director of the CIA John Brennan, and others fabricated the Russia Hoax, suppressed intelligence showing Putin was preparing for a Clinton victory, manufactured findings from shoddy sources, disobeyed IC standards, and knowingly lied to the American people.

LIE: The fabricated Steele Dossier was not used as a source in the Obama Administration’s January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment of the November 2016 election

TRUTH: Not only did CIA Director Brennan, FBI Director Comey, DNI Clapper and others include the Steele Dossier in the 2017 ICA, they overruled senior Intel officials who warned them it was fabricated and should not be used.

LIE: The Obama Administration’s January ICA was an independent Intelligence Community product, produced with apolitical analysis.

TRUTH: Obama ordered the Intelligence Community to create an Intelligence Community Assessment they knew was false, promoting a contrived narrative, with the intent of undermining the legitimacy and power of a duly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump.

Together, the @ODNIgov records released on Friday, the @TheJusticeDept’s June 2018 report known as the “Clinton annex” released earlier this week, and the @HouseIntel oversight report we released today confirm what many Americans have known: The Russia Hoax was a lie that was knowingly created by the Obama Administration to undermine the legitimacy and power of the duly elected President of the United States, Donald Trump.

July 23, 2025 - Democrat from Russia hoax probe now top lawyer at Trump’s NSA - UPDATE: She's been fired

April Falcon Doss (Credit: public domain)

A top lawyer for President Donald Trump’s National Security Agency previously worked for Senate Democrats on their discredited probe attempting to tie Trump to Russia and has a history of partisan anti-Trump activism.

April Falcon Doss is the current general counsel for the NSA, the powerful cyber-intelligence agency, according to the agency’s website. A longtime veteran of the agency, Doss also worked as an NSA intelligence lawyer from 2003 to April 2016. But in between those two stints, she worked on the highly-partisan congressional investigation into Russian involvement in the 2016 election.

Just months into Trump’s first term as president, she took a high-level job working for Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) on the Senate Intelligence Committee, investigating supposed Russian interference in the 2016 election. Doss was the Democrats’ Senior Counsel for the committee’s Russia investigation, which conducted hundreds of interviews in its failed attempt to find evidence of conspiracy between Trump and Russia.

Doss is a transparently partisan activist who has written publicly about her opposition to Trump. She has called for Trump to be permanently banned from social media for staging an “insurrection,” attacked Republicans for opposing a crackdown on “disinformation,” and defended the treatment of Trump aides Carter Page and Michael Flynn at the hands of the intelligence state.

reported in June 2022 that the NSA, during the Biden administration, had re-hired Doss for the top role. The intelligence agency didn’t publicly announce the hire, it reported, because it didn’t want to “stir the hornet’s nest among Capitol Hill Republicans.” That’s because in the interim, Democrats, “experts,” and intelligence officials had decried it as improper — and ultimately blocked it — when Trump had attempted to name a Republican former House intelligence committee staffer to the same role.

UPDATE, 7/29/2025

Anti-Trump Democrat Russia Collusion Hoax Investigator Fired as NSA General Counsel

July 23, 2025 - Tulsi Gabbard holds a WH press briefing after releasing intelligence documents on a years-long coup against Trump

Intelligence officials under former President Barack Obama omitted information indicating Russia had damaging material about Hillary Clinton’s mental and physical health during the 2016 campaign but chose not to release it, as they worked to find support for a narrative that Russia intervened to help elect President Donald Trump, according to newly declassified records.

The revelation comes from a long-classified House Intelligence Committee report made public by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Wednesday. The report, dated Sept. 18, 2020, says Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service accessed internal Democratic National Committee communications in 2016 that contained detailed allegations about Clinton’s physical and psychological health, including claims she was on a daily regimen of “heavy tranquilizers” and suffering from a mix of “intensified psycho-emotional problems.”

July 23, 2025 - DNI Gabbard: Media is ‘complicit’ in Russia collusion hoax

Wednesday on FNC’s “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard reacted to “crazy questions” from members of the media during a press conference about her efforts to expose so-called Deep State actors alleged to have knowingly promoted debunked claims of Russia-Trump collusion to alter the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.

Gabbard told host Jesse Watters the media were “complicit” in promoting those claims.

“You mentioned, Director, that there’s, I guess, Deep State actors who are still trying to prevent the truth from coming out,” Watters said. “What do you mean by that?”

Gabbard replied, “There are still people, it won’t surprise you, within the Intelligence Community who don’t want this information to see the light of day. Some of them may be implicated in the crafting of it, others are concerned about people being embarrassed, others are concerned about accountability, and what else we will discover as we continue down this path towards the truth and bring about accountability for the American people. That’s really what this is all about, and why it does such a disservice. I was standing there in the White House Press Briefing Room and hearing some of these crazy questions being asked by members of the media who are trying to distract and deflect away from the historic expose that we have brought forward, that once again, puts into question the American people’s ability to trust the integrity of our Democratic Republic.”

“And the reason why that is, and it’s similar to the Deep State actors who have been trying to stop us from releasing this, is that we have members of the media who were complicit in this from the very beginning, who were leaked early copies of this, or at least lines from this, January 2017 Obama manufactured Intelligence Assessment,” she continued. “They printed what they were fed, people like Ellen Nakashima from The Washington Post, who, by the way, went on to win a Pulitzer Prize because for years, she was so good at lying and not telling the truth to the American people that they gave her an award for it. These people are still here. Ellen Nakashima is still harassing people who work within the Intelligence Community who are calling up and reporting her using burner phones to try to ask them harassing questions. There are a lot of Deep State actors still here within Washington.” (Read more: Breitbart News, 7/24/2025) (Archive)

July 23, 2025 - The Russians kept quiet about DNC emails that said Hillary suffered from psycho-emotional problems, fits of anger, and took "heavy tranquilizers"

 

July 24, 2025 - Re-watch Comey’s 2018 interview with Bret Baier — after all we know now, it hits different…

Sometimes it takes a second watch for the truth to really slap you in the face, and this is one of those moments.

James Comey’s 2018 sit-down with Bret Baier may have flown under the radar back then, but now, after everything Tulsi has exposed and the DOJ’s new Strike Force aimed directly at Obama’s regime, yeah, this Fox Interview feels like watching a guilty man squirm under fluorescent lights.

Bret may not have realized it at the time, but he pulled off a master class in cornering a liar without even raising his voice. What we’re watching now, in hindsight, is Comey unraveling on national TV. Tripping over his words, dodging basic questions, and desperately trying to explain how the Director of the FBI didn’t know Hillary Clinton funded the Steele Dossier that sparked the entire Russia collusion hoax.

People’s dogs knew this, but Comey didn’t?

That’s a hard pill to swallow, and Bret let him know.

Comey launched a full-blown investigation into a sitting US president, based in part on a (fake) document he claims he didn’t even know was bankrolled by the DNC and Hillary’s campaign. It’s laughable. The man was either criminally incompetent or lying through his teeth. Most likely a bit of both.

Bret presses him, and you can see it: the darting eyes, the tight-lipped half-smile, and the body language of a man who’s praying the commercial break rolls in to save him. He even claims he never briefed Obama on the dossier, something Bret finds fantastical. You can practically see him thinking, “Are you serious, man?”

And now, in 2025, with the Strike Force knocking on doors and declassified intel crushing the fake narrative, you really have to wonder how many frantic phone calls this lurching buffoon has made to his legal counsel in the last 48 hours.

Watch the full interview again. This time, with 2025 eyes…

UPDATE: More from the lying liars

h/t Daily Caller, 7/24/2025

July 25, 2025 - Media Matters in meltdown: Soros-funded censorship group on verge of collapse amid lawsuits, layoffs

Media Matters for America — the far-left censorship group that spent decades smearing conservatives — is on the verge of implosion after sustained legal and financial pressure from Republican leadership and X owner Elon Musk, the New York Times revealed this week.

Media Matters, the leftist nonprofit notorious for its scorched-earth campaigns against conservative media, is reportedly in a state of crisis, reeling from a series of lawsuits, federal investigations, mass layoffs, infighting, and donor panic. The New York Times now confirms what many on the right have suspected for months: the group’s legal and financial foundation is cracking, and its future is in jeopardy.

The collapse follows an aggressive legal response to what Elon Musk and Republican officials describe as Media Matters’ attempt to trigger a boycott of X, the social media platform owned by Musk. After the group published a report accusing X of placing major brand ads next to pro-Nazi content, Musk responded by accusing the group of manipulating data. X filed a lawsuit alleging fraud and defamation. Republican attorneys general in Texas and Missouri followed up with investigations into the group’s funding and alleged deception of donors.

Despite claiming it has “no plans to close,” Media Matters has quietly cut back its attacks, slashed staff, and even floated shuttering operations entirely, according to interviews and internal documents obtained by the Times.

The group has racked up over $15 million in legal bills in less than two years, alienated donors, and now reportedly faces a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigation — revealed through documents obtained by Reuters and not yet publicly confirmed by the commission — into whether it colluded with other liberal organizations to suppress advertising on Musk’s platform.

Breitbart News has reported extensively on the group’s unraveling, including a federal judge’s decision to allow Musk’s lawsuit to proceed to trial in April 2025. The lawsuit accuses Media Matters of deploying “coordinated, inauthentic behavior” to mislead advertisers. This conduct, X claims, sparked an advertiser exodus. According to the New York Times, the advertiser boycott, which X attributes to Media Matters’ report, cost the platform more than $75 million in lost revenue.

The group’s president, Angelo Carusone, has blamed the Trump administration for using federal power to “silence critics.” In May, the FTC issued a sweeping investigative demand for documents related to Media Matters’ communications with other liberal watchdog and advertising groups, echoing concerns raised by Elon Musk that such entities coordinated advertiser boycotts under the guise of “brand safety.”

Once a powerhouse in Democrat-aligned media warfare, bolstered by billionaire donors like George Soros and nonprofit structures that shield donor identities, Media Matters now finds itself hemorrhaging cash, morale, and relevance. Even longtime allies have reportedly distanced themselves, and one top donor has allegedly urged the group to shut down altogether. (Read more: Breitbart News, 7/25/2025)  (Archive)

July 25, 2025 - Team Obama attempts to rescue themselves following the disclosure of Obama’s actions in the Russia hoax scandal

Aides who worked for Barack Obama are desperate to shut down the burgeoning scandal surrounding their former boss and have devised a laughable plan to prevent it from reaching the public further.

(…) Now, NBC News reveals that Team Obama is desperate to find a way to ensure the scandal eventually dissipates and put a stop to more “unchecked allegations.”

From NBC News:

To former aides who worked in Barack Obama’s White House, the Trump administration’s allegations of “treason” carried the stench of desperation from a president straining to shift the focus from a burgeoning scandal around Jeffrey Epstein.

Still, they’re grappling with how to contain the unprecedented accusations National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard has leveled, even as they dismiss them as asinine, interviews with more than half a dozen people who worked in Obama’s White House or on his campaigns reveal.

These people say the events of the last week have turned into a messaging balancing act between unnecessarily giving oxygen to the claims that Obama ordered a false intelligence analysis to show Russia had worked to help Trump win the 2016 election and leaving the potential for unchecked accusations to balloon. Many of those who talked to NBC News were not authorized to speak publicly about strategy.

What is their brilliant scheme? It turns out that they plan to reach so-called Republicans via newspaper editorial boards and via members of Congress.

“The battle now is to play this even to make sure that thoughts don’t start to creep into more mainstream” audiences, a former Obama administration official said. That person said it was important to reach “mainstream Republicans,” who would listen to editorial boards and those in Congress who deemed the allegations against Obama as “beyond the pale.”

Do they actually think any GOPer, even more moderates, care one bit what the Wall Street Journal or Washington Post has to say?

Moreover, how many are going to listen to leftists and RINOS in Congress who dismiss Obama’s treason as a nothingburger? (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 7/26/2025)  (Archive)

July 25, 2025 - Ghislaine Maxwell gives DOJ details about 100 people linked to Epstein

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and Ghislane Maxwell (Credit: CNN clipping)

Ghislaine Maxwell told the DOJ about “100 different people” linked to Jeffrey Epstein, according to her lawyer David Oscar Markus.

Maxwell never pleaded the Fifth.

The comments start at 5:53 in the video:

I think Ghislaine did a wonderful job. She literally answered every question. She didn’t say, “You know what, don’t ask me that, I’m not gonna talk about this person.” She was asked maybe about 100 different people, she answered questions about everybody and she didn’t hold anything back.

Maxwell is serving a 20-year prison sentence after a jury convicted her of sex trafficking of a minor, transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and conspiracy.

Maxwell has already said “she’s willing to testify before Congress on Epstein’s apparent full client list.”

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and his team questioned Maxwell for two days after Attorney General Pam Bondi reached out to Markus. (Read more: Legal Insurrection, 7/25/2025)  (Archive)

July 25, 2025 - 20 CIA and FBI agents confirm Obama was behind Russia hoax and reveal his hiding place

(…) According to new reporting from Fox News, twenty CIA and FBI agents have now confirmed that Obama didn’t just know about the Russia Hoax, he ran it. And to keep it buried, he locked the evidence away in a CIA vault, where it sat hidden for nearly a decade.

Yes, America, Obama could be in some very hot water.

Revolver:

This is a seismic shift, what many of you voted for. It’s a sign that the Obama regime’s protective shield may finally be cracking.

For the first time in about a decade, the barrel of our crooked government might finally be pointed in the right direction. Instead of targeting innocent Americans, the elite liars who abused their power and cooked up one of the most dangerous political hoaxes in US history are finally in the crosshairs, right where they belong.

But there’s something you need to understand about this “Strike Force” operation. It’s not just your average investigation. It’s a helluva lot more than that, and the Obama cronies, like James Clapper, are smart to lawyer up.

So… what exactly is a DOJ “Strike Force,” and why should it have Obama’s inner circle panicking and calling their lawyers

As Sean Davis, CEO of The Federalist, put it best:

July 25, 2025 - Lefties, illegals, & minorities are finally experiencing "Consequence Culture"

(Credit: Brandon Smith/Alt-Market)

Travel back in time to the year 2021 and you might find yourself in the middle of a bizarre debate over the virtues of “cancel culture”. At the time, the political left was aggressively trying to secure long-term power within the US through a multi-pronged psychological offensive – A war on the minds of the masses designed to force Americans into submission.

A big part of their strategy relied on the fundamentals of Cultural Marxism: The combination of Marxist mob tactics, artificial consensus and the exploitation of minority grievances as a vehicle for controlling speech. This was the rise of the “woke movement” to the halls of government.

The root of their power was not martial. In fact, the political left is weak and largely astroturf with minimal ability to project power in a physical way. If conservatives wanted to destroy them tomorrow the task would be relatively easy. We don’t because many of us still have hope that our problems can be solved through peaceful discourse.

What the leftists did have at their disposal was a massive institutional apparatus of government agencies, corporations, Big Tech and NGOs. The full might of the establishment cabal was on their side, which meant they had the means to enforce “cancel culture” and silence their ideological opponents.

I don’t think there has ever been a psychological war on a population that was more pervasive and tyrannical. Not since Mao’s Cultural Revolution in China has a citizenry been under such a siege by their own government. The fact that we survived this event, defeated the onslaught and actually grew a grassroots anti-woke movement without the use of social media forums is truly mind blowing.

Very few people today realize the level of victory that was achieved. We thwarted perhaps the largest 4th Generation “mind war” ever devised and we did it without any institutional access. We won by simple truth and word of mouth.

Another tool that the leftists and globalists used was the mobilization of illegal migrants, gays and minorities as a shield against criticism or counter-protest. If conservatives and moderates fought back with superior debate or our own protest groups, we were immediately accused of racism, xenophobia and homophobia. Merely presenting an opposing view to the progressive machine was considered an act of evil.

Large contingents within all of these groups were happy to go along with the agenda for numerous reasons.

First and foremost, DEI allowed them to easily game the system. They could snatch up grants, subsidies, welfare, and leapfrog over more talented and more intelligent competitors in education and business simply because of their “marginalized status”.

Secondly, the system under progressives was two-tier; leftists activists, illegals and minorities were given preferential protection while breaking the law and causing chaos. Conservatives were labeled terrorists for any act of defiance. We were banned from the largest web platforms. Some of us were targeted by the online mob and lost our jobs. Others were “de-banked” and threatened with ostracism from the economy. Still others were imprisoned.

This imbalance of the law bred a culture of entitlement, especially within the LGBT cult and the black community. Illegal aliens were given carte blanche to enter the country and feed like parasites. Not only that, but they were treated like heroes coming to save the US from “population decline” and “labor shortages”.

They all participated in the game willfully and joyfully.They were ALL part of the problem. But, of course, none of them ever thought the party would end or that they might end up facing consequences for their behavior. They joined in the feeding frenzy without considering the inevitable clap-back. (Read more: Brandon Smith/Alt-Markets, 7/25/2025)  (Archive)

July 25, 2025 - Devin Nunes discusses the DNI revelations released by Tulsi Gabbard; draws attention to the Mar-a-Lago raid

Former House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes appears on OAN with former Congressman Matt Gaetz to discuss the information released by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

As noted by Nunes, why did it take this long for the information to surface?  That question showcases how corrupt the DC system -the Intelligence Community- is in its effort to protect itself from accountability.

Nunes also points to the raid on Mar-a-Lago as a possible entry point for investigative accountability.  WATCH:

Let me refresh on something that could potentially be a revelation down the road.

In 2022 a Florida judge dismissed a lawsuit brought by President Trump against Hillary Clinton. [65-page Ruling Here] The media enjoyed ridiculing Trump using the words of the judge who dismissed the case.  As noted by the Washington Times, “Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks, a Clinton appointee, said Mr. Trump’s filing was too lengthy, detailing events that “are implausible because they lack any specific allegations which might provide factual support for the conclusions reached.”

When I originally read the 108-page Donald Trump lawsuit filed in March 2022, it took me a few moments, and then I realized this was not a lawsuit; this was a legal transfer mechanism created by lawyers to establish a proprietary information silo.

Here’s a totally different take on the issues surrounding the Trump -v- Clinton lawsuit, which -from the outset- I always believed was going to be dismissed because suing all of those characters under the auspices of a civil RICO case was never the objective.

In the aftermath of the filing, the silo created by the lawsuit is grounded upon attorney-client privilege, a legal countermeasure to a predictable DOJ-NSD lawfare maneuver, which unfolded in the FBI Mar-a-Lago raid and the subsequent Jack Smith targeting operation.

In March 2022 President Trump filed a civil lawsuit against: Hillary Clinton, Hillary for America Campaign Committee, DNC, DNC Services Corp, Perkins Coie, Michael Sussmann, Marc Elias, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Charles Dolan, Jake Sullivan, John Podesta, Robby Mook, Phillipe Reines as well as Fusion GPS, Glenn Simpson, Peter Fritsch, Nellie Ohr, Bruce Ohr, Orbis Business Intelligence, Christopher Steele, Igor Danchenko, Neustar Inc., Rodney Joffe, James Comey Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Kevin Clinesmith and Andrew McCabe. [108-Page Lawsuit Here]

When I was about one-third of the way through reading the lawsuit, I initially stopped and said to myself this is going to take a lot of documentary evidence to back up the claims in the assertions.  Dozens of attachments would be needed and hundreds of citations to the dozens of attachments would be mandatory.  Except, they were not there.

After reading further, while completely understanding the background material that was being described in the filing, I realized this wasn’t a lawsuit per se’.  The 108-pages I was holding in my hands was more akin to legal transfer mechanism from President Trump to lawyers who needed it.

The lawsuit filing was contingent upon a series of documents that would be needed to support the claims within it.

Whoever wrote the lawsuit had obviously reviewed the evidence to support the filing.  However, the attachments and citations were missing.

That was weird.

That’s when I realized the purpose of the lawsuit.  In hindsight, things became clear when the FBI later raided the home of Donald Trump, and suddenly the motive to confiscate documents, perhaps the missing lawsuit attachments and citations, surfaced.

With the manipulative, and I said intentional, “ongoing investigation” angle created by the John Durham probe essentially blocking public release of declassified documents showing the efforts of all the lawsuit participants (Trump-Russia Collusion Hoax), in 2021 President Trump needed a legal way to secure and more importantly share evidence.

Think of it like the people around Trump wanting to show lawyers the evidence in the documents.  However, because of the construct of the lawfare being deployed against Trump, any lawyer would need a *reason* to review the evidence.   The Trump -v- Clinton et al lawsuit becomes that ‘reason.’

The “documents” (classified or not) were likely reviewed by lawyers in preparation for the lawsuit.  This is their legal justification for reviewing the documents.  In essence, the lawsuit was a transfer mechanism permitting the Trump legal team to review the evidence on behalf of their client, former President Donald Trump.

Once the formation of the lawsuit was established, the retainer and acceptance of the lawyers to represent their client cemented, the legal counsel, discussion and information within legal duties/obligations of those who represent the plaintiff (Trump) becomes an information silo.  In addition to previous executive privilege established by President Trump himself; outside government there is now another silo to defend against the motives of the Lawfare crew (DOJ), the attorney-client privilege.

The lawsuit itself then becomes a transfer mechanism permitting sharing of the documents and providing legal cover for the reviewers (lawyers).  The details within the 108-page filing constitute the claims of the plaintiff in the lawsuit, which were established by the evidentiary documents later seized by the DOJ and FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago.

“Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks, a Clinton appointee, said Mr. Trump’s filing was too lengthy, detailing events that “are implausible because they lack any specific allegations which might provide factual support for the conclusions reached.”

There were no attachments and/or citations to the documentary evidence in the 108-page filing, because there was a legal risk to citing evidence with a status in dispute by the corrupt people in Main Justice and the FBI.

Secondarily, there was an obstruction risk to the President in 2022, if his legal team was to publish citations that were part of an ongoing investigation (John Durham).   However, this doesn’t negate the value of constructing the information silo, an attorney-client privilege.

The lawsuit was dismissed in March 2022.

In August 2022 the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago.

If the documents chased by the FBI were part of the lawsuit established by President Trump and his legal team via Trump -v- Clinton, then the material seized by the FBI would be -in part- attorney client work product.  Lawfully obtained, constitutionally declassified and legally protected material.

According to later reports all of the documents were returned to President Trump at the conclusion of the Jack Smith investigation.

I think Devin Nunes is right to draw attention to the motive of the FBI to raid Mar-a-Lago.

Given the nature of the FBI working collaboratively with the Clinton crew in 2016/2017, I genuinely suspect it was the underpinning evidence to support the claims of the Trump -vs- Clinton lawsuit the FBI were looking for. (Conservative Treehouse, 7/26/2025)  (Archive)

July 26, 2025 - John Bolton didn't brief Trump on classified memo showing John Brennan manufactured Trump-Putin collusion intel

(…) Real Clear Investigations reporter Paul Sperry revealed last night that Bolton had a classified memo in his possession that showed how former CIA Director John Brennan helped manufacture intelligence linking Trump to Vladimir Putin. Still, he never briefed Trump on the matter.

Guess what he did instead?

He stuck it in a National Security Council safe because he supposedly believed the intel. What a snake.

“Sources tell me in 2018 former Trump Nat’l Security Adviser John Bolton received a classified memo summarizing the explosive report exposing how Brennan cooked up Putin-Trump intel, but Bolton stuck it in an NSC safe and never briefed Trump, believing the Brennan intel,” Sperry wrote on X.

John Bolton’s Classified Bombshell: How a Neocon Cover-Up May Have Sparked Criminal Liability and Prolonged The Russia Hoax Narrative Continue! RETWEET

In a stunning revelation, journalist Paul Sperry reports that in 2018, former Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton received a classified memo exposing how CIA Director John Brennan fabricated Putin-Trump intelligence. Rather than briefing President Trump, Bolton allegedly stashed it in an NSC safe, a decision that could ignite criminal liability. By concealing evidence of a potential intelligence hoax, Bolton may have obstructed justice, a felony with no statute of limitations (SOL) if tied to an ongoing crime. Under 18 U.S.C. § 3282, SOL typically runs five years, but concealment can extend it—especially if the cover-up perpetuates a fraud against the government, as this might suggest.

Trump faced not just leftist vitriol but neocon ire for rejecting forever wars. He obliterated ISIS in weeks, deterred North Korean aggression, and bolstered the military, deploying it decisively—like the swift, clean strike on Iran that quelled its conflict with Israel. Yet, hawks like Bolton fumed as Trump spurned their Ukraine-Russia quagmire, refusing $300 billion in aid. This neocon backlash, fused with Brennan’s alleged ruse, fueled Trump’s first-term torment. Bolton’s silence may have shielded a narrative that painted Trump as Putin’s pawn, a charge now unraveling. As the truth emerges, the neocons’ war lust and Bolton’s vaulted secret could redefine this saga. (NOTE: any discussion about criminal statutes is personal opinion and not Legal advice)
