August 17, 2025 - Trump warns rampant judge-shopping Is the left’s ‘final weapon’ that could ‘take down America’

In a piece published yesterday, I documented how anti-Trump activist Judge James Boasberg was assigned a series of “Trump cases” in the early weeks of the second Trump administration. He then blocked and stalled part of the president’s first wave agenda.

So, how did one left-wing judge get assigned so many sensitive cases? Part of the answer is the legal tactic known as “judge-shopping,” which was patented by lawfare general and activist attorney Marc Elias.

In an exclusive interview I conducted as part of my research for Breaking the Law, President Trump has called out the practice and warned that “judge-shopping is rampant at levels never seen before. You know the outcome of a case as soon as the judge is picked.”

“And the radical left is using this, their final weapon, to take down America,” the president told me.

Judge-shopping is a straightforward idea: A politically interested party will bring a case to a court with mostly favorable judges to make it likely they get their desired outcome. For example, some courts have only one judge, so it can be easy to anticipate how a judge will rule if you bring the case to that judge’s court. Other powerful courts, such as the D.C. District Court, is composed of mostly of judges who appear to be ideologically on the left. The venue rules for federal cases (28 U.S.C. § 1391) make it so that virtually every case brought against the federal government can be filed in that court since it is often where the defendant resides or where the relevant events occurred.

Breitbart News Senior Contributor Peter Schweizer credits Marc Elias, a high priest of lawfare if there ever was one, with popularizing the venue-shopping tactic. According to Schweizer, Elias was able to swing the highly contested 2008 Minnesota senate race for Democrat Al Franken over Republican Norm Coleman by finding a specific court to legitimize over a thousand ballots that had previously been rejected because they had potentially been cast by convicted felons.

(…) The left has used Elias’s tactic to great effect, politicizing the courts and ensuring there is no equal justice under the law for political conservatives.

It is imperative we move to end judge and forum-shopping immediately. The damage a politicized judge can do goes beyond injunctions and TROs. These judges decide the rules of the court, who and what goes in and out, what decisions juries can and can’t make, etc. As was the case in Judge Juan Merchan’s courtroom, the jury instructions and other peculiarities of a particular judge’s courtroom can determine the outcome of the case.

August 17, 2025 - Ed Martin puts Jan 6 Committee members and Adam Schiff on notice: “When this comes out, it’ll take the whole of these people’s hoaxes down”

On Sunday, Ed Martin, DOJ Pardon Attorney and Director of Weaponization, appeared on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo to discuss Adam Schiff’s mortgage fraud, the Trump-Russia hoax, January 6 Committee members and the Biden autopen scandal.

Ed Martin revealed the DOJ is investigating members of the unconstitutional January 6 Committee.

The nine members of the January 6 Select Committee included: Chairman Bennie Thompson, Vice Chair Liz Cheney and other members were: Adam Schiff, Zoe Lofgren, Jamie Raskin, Pete Aguilar, Stephanie Murphy, Elaine Luria and Adam Kinzinger.

Separately, Rep Loudermilk recently announced he will be creating a subcommittee with subpoena power to investigate the January 6 Committee.

Ed Martin suggested January 6 Committee members will be subpoenaed… they… should ‘keep an eye on their mailbox.’

“Trust me – a lot of people did not get a pardon that were involved in the Select Committee. They ought to be keeping an eye on their mailbox because there’s a lot to be asked about,” Ed Martin said.

“Pam Bondi has let us loose and when this comes out, it will take the whole of these people’s hoaxes down and we’re doing it bit by bit,” he said.

“There’s a referral from Bill Pulte about mortgage fraud…but now there’s more on Adam Schiff. And all we’re gonna again and get to the facts of this,” he added.

August 19, 2025 - An FEC complaint is filed against US Senator Amy Klobuchar for "smurfing" millions $ from ActBlue funds

BREAKING: an FEC complaint has been filed against US Senator Amy Klobuchar today.

$9,633,912 is what she Smurfed into her three campaign committees. I know it is more however, a lot more and that will probably be an addendum.

Stop Smurfing, its criminal money laundering by politicians.

More details in retweet here:

The Fox News video I re-posted was from April 24th. But something brand new: by next week I will have filed an FEC complaint against US Senator Amy Klobuchar.

KLOBUCHAR FOR MINNESOTA takes $3,946,364 USD in 46,448 Smurfing Contributions, from 5,160 Contributors.

AMY FOR AMERICA takes $4,880,382 USD in 66,796 Smurfing Contributions, from 7,724 Contributors.

AMY KLOBUCHAR VICTORY COMMITTEE takes $807,166 USD in 309 Smurfing Contributions, from 239 Contributors.

Totaling $9,633,912 of her federal campaign committees Smurfing, i.e. criminally laundering money into her campaigns. And I know it is higher yet. @amyklobuchar @SenAmyKlobuchar

Meaning Klobuchar cheated, she committed massive election fraud and in no way is the duly elected US Senator from Minnesota. Resign now Klobuchar.

President Trump orders US DOJ to launch full scale investigation into Actblue. America you’re welcome from: @immutablechrist @TheTVConsPiracy @smurfsearch @PatriotsACT @jewelsHND @JamesOKeefeIII, myself and many others who spent years researching, exposing, getting criminal investigations opened at the states’ level and then federal level against Actblue.

NOTE: @Actblue is just one campaign committee committing Smurfing, i.e. structured criminal money laundering typically using computer bots. There are over 1,300 identified committees committing Smurfing.

Including @WinRed – with US Senator Lindsey Graham being a big one out of many as just one example.

August 19, 2025 - Tulsi Gabbard strips security clearances from 37 Deep State officials tied to the Trump-Russia hoax

Being entrusted with a security clearance is a privilege, not a right. Those in the Intelligence Community who betray their oath to the Constitution and put their own interests ahead of the interests of the American people have broken the sacred trust they promised to uphold. In doing so, they undermine our national security, the safety and security of the American people and the foundational principles of our democratic republic.

This is why, at @POTUS’ direction, @ODNIgov directed the revocation of the security clearances of 37 current and former intelligence professionals who have abused the public trust by politicizing and manipulating intelligence, leaking classified intelligence without authorization, and/or committing intentional egregious violations of tradecraft standards.

Our Intelligence Community must be committed to upholding the values and principles enshrined in the US Constitution and maintain a laser-like focus on our mission of ensuring the safety, security and freedom of the American people.

August 20, 2025 - Tulsi Gabbard axes a Biden-era censorship office that was working with social media companies to censor conservatives

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just AXED a Biden-era censorship office that was working with social media companies to censor conservatives and anti-establishment voices.

“This Center was going and working with different social media companies saying… ‘we have to censor these dissenting voices.'”

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard just delivered a win for free speech by dismantling Biden’s censorship pipeline. The Biden-era Domestic Terrorism Prevention Center wasn’t about security—it was a taxpayer-funded censorship factory. Their strategy weaponized federal agencies to pressure Big Tech into silencing dissent under the guise of “countering misinformation.” Section 3.2 of their declassified plan even pushed digital literacy programs through USAID, blurring lines between national security and ideological control.

Gabbard’s move exposes how bureaucrats hijacked counterterrorism funds to police speech instead of threats. This is why audits matter: $50M+ wasted on policing tweets while real security gaps fester.

Defund the thought police, refocus on actual threats.

August 20, 2025 - Kash Patel exposes Obama-Clinton Grand Conspiracy; confirms Russiagate, FISA court abuses, and Mar-a-Lago raid were a political hit job

FBI Director Kash Patel joined Larry Kudlow in a bombshell interview this week, and it’s ten minutes every American needs to see.

On Larry Kudlow’s show, FBI Director Kash Patel unleashed a series of bombshells that confirm what millions of Americans have long suspected: Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were the masterminds behind the phony Russiagate hoax and the illegal invasion of President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.

Now, Patel has confirmed it on national television, Obama and Hillary Clinton were at the very top of the conspiracy.

Kudlow pressed Patel on how the FBI could justify invading the private home of a former president, something unprecedented in American history.

Patel laid it out plainly: Russiagate, the FISA Court abuses, and the Mar-a-Lago raid were all connected. A “political operation,” not a legitimate investigation.

Kudlow also asked Patel point-blank if Obama and Hillary were the architects of this grand conspiracy.

August 20, 2025 - Peter Navarro: Time to investigate the FBI agent who tried to take down Trump and me

(Credit: Pete Marovich/NYT/Bloomberg via Getty Images)

They call Walter Giardina a Marine hero. The media portrayed him as a martyr in FBI Director Kash Patel’s recent “purge” of politicized FBI agents.

In my new book, I Went to Prison So You Won’t Have To, I call Giardina something else: the tip of the spear in a weaponized FBI campaign to destroy Donald Trump — and a disgraced FBI agent who personally targeted me and my fiancée.

(…)

Target: Navarro

In early 2022, the Democrat-controlled January 6 Committee subpoenaed me. I refused their witch hunt, citing executive privilege — not as a tactic, but because it has long been the Department of Justice’s settled policy that senior White House advisers to the president have absolute testimonial immunity from compelled congressional testimony about their official duties.

This protection exists to preserve what the Supreme Court calls candor and confidentiality in presidential communications. This is the very essence of George Washington’s doctrine of executive privilege, first asserted in 1796 to protect sensitive deliberations from legislative intrusion.

But in my case, a partisan and weaponized Biden DOJ turned its own policy on its head and indicted me anyway. I was Giardina’s huckleberry, and he went after me like a jackal — discarding over two centuries of Constitutional separation of powers protection to score a political hit.

On May 19, 2022, at 4:50 PM, Giardina emailed a group of FBI agents with the news: DOJ wanted to indict me within two weeks. His email read like a military op order: find my location, get my phone and iCloud data, plan the “knock-and-talk,” time the arrest. Every detail accounted for.

By May 24, the plan was locked: indictment on June 2, arrest on June 3 or June 7. “Media attention is anticipated,” one of the emails noted. They weren’t just planning an arrest — they were scripting a Perp Walk Media Circus.

Internal FBI emails later released by Sen. Grassley would show that after Walter Giardina updated everyone on the DOJ’s indictment plan, Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault replied, “Wow. Great” — a revealing glimpse of the partisan enthusiasm behind the operation. (Read more: Breitbart, 8/20/2025)  (Archive)

August 21, 2025 - Peter Schweizer: "Clinton's Russia vulnerabilities were turned into Trump's burden, projected onto his campaign in a haze of innuendo"

(…) Appearing on an OANN program this week, Schweizer told host Matt Gaetz that the government’s double standard is unmistakable. “At the same time, they are killing an organic investigation into Clinton corruption… they were also creating a completely fictional investigation tying [Donald] Trump to Russia,” he said.

Five FBI field offices had been involved before being shut down, including a satellite office in Africa. Schweizer called the saga proof of a new kind of corruption — “offshored, globalized corruption,” complete with political dynasties selling access and foreign oligarchs buying influence.

The contrast between the scuttled investigation of the Clinton Foundation and the “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation into the Trump campaign’s purported ties to Russia is glaring. While the Clinton probes were heavily throttled, the FBI raced to open a full investigation into Trump’s campaign on the flimsiest of tips — a conversation in a London wine bar — green-lighting it within three days. Clinton’s Russia vulnerabilities were turned into Trump’s burden, projected onto his campaign in a haze of innuendo.

Put together, the picture is damning: an IRS that dropped the ball in 2019, and an FBI and DOJ that throttled their own field offices in 2016. The whistleblowers are still pressing their case, six years later.

But the old memos are now re-surfacing, and the “deep state” may yet face a reckoning from what may prove the largest political scandal of modern times. (Read more: Zero Hedge, 8/22/2025)  (Archive)

August 21, 2025 - An IRS memo reveals abrupt end to Clinton Foundation probe In 2019

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) abruptly shuttered an investigation into the Clinton Foundation during the first Trump administration, according to internal IRS memos, emails and related notes reviewed by Just The News.

The whistleblowers, John Moynihan, a retired Drug Enforcement Agency financial crimes analyst, and Larry Doyle, a corporate tax compliance expert, had submitted extensive documentation to the IRS, according to Just The News. The whistleblowers alleged the Clinton Foundation had mishandled funds, mingled personal and charitable finances and possibly engaged in quid pro quo arrangements.

“Can’t talk about the CF,” one IRS agent allegedly stated in a memo, cutting off communication with two whistleblowers who had been working with the agency for months, according to Just The News.

Between January and April 2019, the whistleblowers met repeatedly with IRS investigators, presenting detailed evidence, including thumb drives with thousands of pages of documents, charts mapping financial networks and lists of potential witnesses, the outlet reported. But by July 2019, all investigative activity had ground to a halt.

The whistleblowers contend that there is “absolutely no doubt that somebody up the chain of command blocked this pursuit,” Just The News reported. Moynihan and Doyle are currently pursuing two cases in the U.S. Tax Court, arguing they were wrongly denied an award for identifying alleged tax irregularities at the Clinton Foundation.

August 21, 2025 - NY Appeals Court makes critical ruling in Letitia James’ civil fraud case against Trump

Appellate Division Courthouse of New York State (Credit: Wikipedia)

A New York appeals court tossed a nearly half-billion-dollar civil fraud penalty against President Donald Trump on Thursday.

The penalty, which now stands at over $515 million with interest, is “excessive,” a panel of five judges found.

Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump last year to pay $355 million in penalties in the case brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who alleged Trump inflated his net worth to secure better loans.

“While the injunctive relief ordered by the court is well crafted to curb defendants’ business culture, the court’s disgorgement order, which directs that defendants pay nearly half a billion dollars to the State of New York, is an excessive fine that violates the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution,” Justice Peter H. Moulton wrote in a concurring opinion joined by Justice Dianne Renwick.

Trump wrote on Truth Social that he “greatly respect[s] the fact that the Court had the Courage to throw out this unlawful and disgraceful Decision that was hurting Business all throughout New York State.”

“This was a Case of Election Interference by the City and State trying to show, illegally, that I did things that were wrong when, in fact, everything I did was absolutely CORRECT and, even, PERFECT,” he wrote. “Every single Dollar was thrown out, even the penalties imposed on us by the Corrupt Judge, one of the most overturned in History, Arthur Engoron.”

Two other judges, Justices John R. Higgitt and Llinét M. R, said they would have vacated Engoron’s judgement and ordered a new trial.

Another judge on the bench highlighted James’ political motives in bringing the case, arguing the complaint should have been dismissed in its entirety.

“Plainly, her ultimate goal was not ‘market hygiene,’ as posited by Justice Moulton, but political hygiene, ending with the derailment of President Trump’s political career and the destruction of his real estate business,” Justice David Friedman wrote. “The voters have obviously rendered a verdict on his political career. This bench today unanimously derails the effort to destroy his business.”

Trump wrote on Truth Social that he was “honored by Justice David Friedman’s great words of wisdom, which should be read by everyone.” (Read more: The Daily Caller, 8/21/2025)  (Archive)

August 21, 2025 - Prosecutors secured evidence Comey authorized classified leaks, but declined charges

Federal prosecutors gathered evidence from James Comey’s top lieutenants that he authorized the leak of classified information to reporters just before the 2016 election but declined to bring criminal charges, according to recently declassified memos that call into question the former FBI director’s testimony to Congress.

The bombshell revelations involving ex-FBI general counsel James Baker and ex-Comey chief of staff James Rybicki were memorialized in documents that FBI Director Kash Patel discovered earlier this year, but the passages were originally redacted by the Justice Department in versions sent to Congress earlier this month.

Attorney General Pam Bondi intervened and eliminated the redactions, dispatching new versions of the memos this week to the House and Senate Judiciary committees, officials told Just the News.

The memos detail evidence and interviews gathered by U.S. Postal Inspection Service agents concerning classified information leaked to The New York Times in October 2016, ahead of the November election in which Republican Donald Trump defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton.

“The USPIS Investigation also revealed Baker disclosed USG [U.S. government] classified information to the NYT under the belief he was ultimately instructed and authorized to do so by then FBI Director James Comey,” one summary memo reads. “For example, during interviews, Baker indicated FBI Chief of Staff James Rybicki instructed him (Baker) to disclose the information to the NYT, and Baker understood Rybicki was conveying this instruction and authorization from Comey.”

The memos don’t identify the specific pieces of classified information that were leaked or whether Comey or anyone else was authorized to declassify them for the media.  But they were investigated by multiple prosecutors, including the U.S. attorney’s office in Washington, D.C., under Trump’s first administration and by future-special prosecutor John Durham, and all declined to bring criminal charges, the memos show.

Bondi told Just the News on Thursday she was committed to bringing accountability for the yet unpunished leaks.

“This document produced at my direction confirms what many Americans have long suspected: former FBI Director James Comey and his chief of staff engaged in abhorrent conduct,” she said. “There must be accountability for those who were entrusted with safeguarding our nation’s secrets and failed to do so.”

Comey previously denied during congressional testimony that he had ever been a source in news articles related to the FBI’s investigations into Trump and Clinton and further denied that he had ever approved of anyone else at the FBI being such a source. He has long denied any wrongdoing and insisted he has been politically attacked because he stood up to Trump.

Patel told Just the News the evidence he uncovered raised concerns that one of his predecessors may have authorized illegal leaks and lied about it.

“These newly declassified memos show how former FBI leadership authorized classified leaks and withheld the truth from Congress and the American people,” he said. “Thanks to President Trump’s commitment to transparency, the cover-up is being exposed. The public deserves nothing less than full accountability.”

Declassified FBI Memos – Tropic Vortex Investigation – Baker, Rybicki, and Comey

A recent barrage of declassified documents showing Comey and current Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., may have been behind national security leaks over the last decade designed to harm Trump may prove more than just an exercise in historical accountability.

Legal experts say the statute of limitations for prosecution under espionage laws for leaks back in 2016 or 2017 can be extended to 10 years if the act was knowing and willful and harmed national security or was part of an ongoing criminal conspiracy that continued into the last five years.

Another factor in the death of Iryna Zarutska on Charlotte’s light rail–the left-wing MacArthur Foundation giving Mecklenburg county a $3.3 million grant to reduce the jail population. Specifically as part of “racial equity aims.

Like Soros’ Open Society, the MacArthur Foundation incentivizes local municipalities to make residents less safe by leaving threats like Decarlos Brown on the streets.

LAWFARE: Did you know that many of the judges releasing violent criminals into your communities aren’t even lawyers? Judge Teresa Stokes who released the career criminal who murdered the Ukrainian refugee on a promise he’d return to court for trial is NOT a lawyer. In states like North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Texas and Arizona the magistrate signing your arrest or search warrant, or deciding bail amounts might not be a lawyer.

(Timeline editor’s note: We are using the August 22, 2025 date when adding base information to the Iryna Zarutska timeline entries, because that is the day she was killed. It did not become apparent to the public until  September due to a total lack of mainstream media coverage.)

August 22, 2025 - FBI raids John Bolton's Maryland home in national security probe

FBI agents raided the DC-area home of President Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton on Friday morning in a high-profile national security probe, The Post can exclusively reveal.

Federal agents busted into Bolton’s house in Bethesda, Md., at 7 a.m. in an investigation ordered by FBI Director Kash Patel, a Trump administration official told The Post.

“NO ONE is above the law… @FBI agents on mission,” he said in a cryptic post to X shortly after the raid began.

The probe — which is said to involve classified documents — was first launched years ago, but the Biden administration shut it down “for political reasons,” according to a senior US official.

Bolton has previously been accused of including classified information in his 2020 book, “The Room Where It Happened.”

President Trump fought to quash its publication over its inclusion of national secrets — saying Bolton broke an NDA signed as a condition of his employment — but was ultimately unsuccessful. (The New York Post, 8/22/2025)  (Archives)

August 22, 2025 - Hegseth fires head of Defense Intelligence Agency, Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse

The firing follows a June preliminary assessment from the DIA — the Pentagon’s main intelligence wing — of the Iran military strikes, which prompted vicious backlash from the Trump administration.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has fired Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse, director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, the latest senior military or intelligence officer to lose his position in a wider purge of national security agencies’ top ranks, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution, didn’t immediately cite a reason for the dismissal other than “loss of confidence,” a catchall term Hegseth has used to justify the sacking of other senior military officers this year.

The firing follows a preliminary assessment from the DIA — the Pentagon’s main intelligence wing — of the military strikes on Iran’s three main nuclear sites in June, which prompted vicious backlash from the Trump administration after it was first reported by CNN and the New York Times.

That preliminary report assessed that Iran’s nuclear capabilities had been set back only a matter of months, in contrast to Hegseth’s and President Donald Trump’s statements that the capabilities had been “obliterated.”

The Pentagon and the Defense Intelligence Agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Since entering office, Hegseth has fired a slate of America’s most senior military officers, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Charles “C.Q.” Brown, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti, Coast Guard Commandant Linda Fagan and Air Force Vice Chief of Staff Gen. James Slife.
Last week, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Allvin announced he would step down in November, after being forced out of his position.
The Trump administration has simultaneously purged a number of spy agency heads, whose roles, like the military’s, are supposed to be apolitical.
In April, Trump fired the head of the powerful National Security Agency, which conducts electronic and digital eavesdropping. Gen. Timothy Haugh and his deputy, Wendy Noble, were dismissed after far-right activist Laura Loomer advocated for their ouster.
In May, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard removed the acting chair of the National Intelligence Council, Michael Collins, and his deputy. The move came after the NIC, a respected analytic hub, wrote an assessment that contradicted Trump’s rationale for invoking the Alien Enemies Act and deporting alleged Venezuelan gang members without due process.

August 22, 2025 - Tulsi Gabbard bars intel community from sharing classified intelligence regarding Ukraine negotiations with Five Eyes partners

On Friday, CBS News reported that Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, banned US classified intelligence regarding the negotiations on Ukraine with Five Eyes partners.

The Five Eyes Alliance (FVEY) is an intelligence alliance comprising Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The organization has its origins traced back to World War II.

This information was leaked to CBS News by current intel operatives. They spoke under condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive national security matters.

They should be tossed out the door like the other dirty leakers in the intelligence community.

In 2018, The Gateway Pundit was the first to report that the Deep State was using foreigners to spy on then-candidate Trump in 2015 prior to the 2016 presidential election.  President Trump tweeted our report by Joe Hoft the following day and the fake-news mainstream media immediately attacked him for promoting what they called a “conspiracy theory.”

We later discovered more evidence in 2020 that we were 100% correct in our initial reporting.

Joe Hoft reported on this development at the time.  In June of 2018 The Gateway Pundit posted an article identifying unredacted words in previously redacted texts between corrupt cops Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, two individuals supposedly having an affair and key players at the top of the FBI involved in spying on candidate and then President Trump.

The discovery came from an individual on Twitter who was later removed from the platform, named Nick Falco, who identified a word uncovered in a Senate text that the corrupt DOJ previously redacted.

In our 2018 post, we noted that hidden in the information released by the Senate at that time were unredacted Strzok–Page texts that revealed that the FBI initiated actions to insert multiple spies in the Trump campaign in December 2015. (Read more: Gateway Pundit, 8/23/2025)  (Archive)
