March 1, 2024 – “This office is a global laughingstock” – attorney Harry MacDougald gives closing arguments in Willis/Wade disqualification hearing

Closing arguments were held today in the Fulton County case to disqualify District Attorney Fani Willis. Fani is under fire after she was caught lying to the court about her affair with her lover and Trump prosecutor Nathan Wade, and committing perjury under oath during her testimony. The evidence is clear in the case. Fani and her lover Nathan Wade were seeing each other romantically months and likely years before she then hired him to prosecute the former president of the United States on RICO charges.

Lawyers for the defendants in the case, including Trump, and from the DA’s office presented closing arguments on the matter to Judge Scott McAfee who says he will release his ruling within two weeks.

Attorney Harold MacDougald batted MAGA cleanup today at the hearing and mopped the floor with Fani Willis. MacDougald is representing former Assistant Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division Jeffrey Clark in the case. Clark is one of the 19 defendants accused of RICO charges by Fani, Nathan, and their secret contacts in the Biden White House.

Harry MacDougald: The general rule on conflicts of interest for lawyers is in rule of professional Conduct 1.7. And we all know it’s all drummed into us, that we cannot have a conflict of interest, and if we do, we have to withdraw or we will be disqualified. The basic idea is that a conflict of interest impairs the lawyer’s independent professional judgment. That’s the test of a conflict and whether it can be waived and whether it’s disqualifying. And that conflict is not just financial.

It can be any conflict that impairs your independent professional judgment. And you see that in McLaughlin v. Payne, the court asked what was a personal interest for purposes of disqualification. It’s anything that impairs professional judgment that’s reflected in the ABA standards that were quoted by Mr. Merchant, which lists the prosecutor’s personal, political, financial, professional, business, property or other interests or relationships, and that’s really embedded in the prosecutor’s oath to act impartially.

And the earlier disqualification order by Judge McBurney was based on political interests, not financial. What my colleagues had described as forensic misconduct is also cognizable as a conflict of interest. Based on that footnote in Williams case, the root of all of the problems that we see in this court right now is a conflict of interest arising from their individual personal interests in perpetuating and concealing their relationship. That’s the original sin from which all of the other problems flow. There are six different actual conflicts of interest in this case, any one of which warrants disqualification, but collectively, practically compelling.

First, the financial conflict that’s already been covered.

Second, the personal ambition, political ambition.

Third, there is a dovetailed or complementary pattern of deceit and concealment of the relationship and the money.

Fourth, the speech at the church.

Fifth, the motion for protective order that the DA filed in Mr. Wade’s divorce case.

Sixth, the way the state has conducted the defense of this motion to disqualify, especially the hearing on the financial piece, the court asked for a limiting principle and asked about materiality. The limiting principle is whatever impairs the independent professional judgment of the lawyer that is applied routinely. We have a county code section that flatly prohibits gifts from contractors, period. We have by analogy the federal bribery statute, which has a threshold of $5,000.18 USC.

Six, six, six. The court asked about burdens and inferences. The court can draw a negative inference from the state’s failure to produce evidence to support the invisible magic cash balancing theory based on state v. Thomas, 311 Georgia 407 particularly footnote 19 as to the timing question that the court asked about, there were two contracts for Mr. Wade executed after they acknowledged the relationship began, each one of them afflicted or conflicted under county and common law.

The second conflict is her political ambition, for which he was previously chastised by judgment. Bernie. And that’s also present in this book. The inside flap of this book says that they were given, quote, exclusive access to thousands of secret documents, emails, text messages and audio recordings. The court has twice denied defense motions to unseal special purpose grand jury materials.

She helped herself to get the glory of this book. I introduced certified copies of a number of county code sections. I’m not going to walk through those, but I’ll tell you why they matter. The stack of law from the state constitution down to the county ordinances imposes a regime on the DA under which she has three obligations. She has to go to the county commission to get approval to pay him like she did.

She cannot accept gifts from a prohibited source. She has to disclose the gifts that she received. She evaded all of those requirements. Section 269 of the county code prohibits gifts from prohibited sources, which he was. There is no boyfriend exception.

The disclosure forms. The evidence is sufficient for you to find that her disclosure form for 2022 is false and that it is a false writing. That’s an actual conflict of interest between her duty, legal duty of disclosure, her legal duty of candor as a prosecutor, and her private and personal interests in concealing the relationship, concealing the gifts, and keeping the gravy train rolling for as long as possible. His part in the pattern of concealment is the story you see in many divorce cases. The husband is hiding things from his wife, how much money he’s making the other woman and what he’s spending on the other woman.

And he got on that stand, lied in his interrogatories, and he got on the stand, and he lied about lying in the interrogatories. And the lawyers for the DA, the DA’s office, they just sat there and let him do it. They did nothing to correct obviously perjured testimony in and of itself that warrants disqualification of every one of them. The reason they lied and covered it up was to avoid the trouble they’re in right now that served their personal interests to the detriment of their public duties as prosecutors. The speech at the church, I want to focus on why she did that.

Mr. Gillan talked about that. She did it to deflect attention from her own misconduct and that of Mr. Wade. She violated her public duty as a prosecutor to serve her personal interests and the personal interests of her boyfriend.

That is a disqualifying conflict between her personal interests and a public duty that is actual, operational, and materialized, and it rests on undisputed facts. The next thing that she did that was a disqualifying conflict of interest was the emergency motion for protective order that she filed in the divorce. I filed a certified copy of that as exhibit 37. She sought a protective order under the apex doctrine on the grounds that she’s the DA. The whole filing is expressly predicated on her status as DA.

In fact, she never lets you forget it. She says it 27 times in twelve pages in that filing. Speaking as DA, she said the circumstances, quote, suggest that defendant Joycelyn Wade is using the legal process to harass and embarrass district Attorney Willis, and in doing so, is obstructing and interfering with an ongoing criminal investigation. In the prayer for relief on page eleven, she asked for six months to, quote, complete a review of the filings in the instant case, investigate and depose relevant witnesses with regard to the interference and obstruction. This motion contends there’s no sugar coating it.

That’s a clear violation of rule of professional conduct 3.4 h, which prohibits lawyers from making threats of criminal prosecution to gain advantage in a civil case. She abused her power. She abused her position to threaten her boyfriend’s wife with criminal prosecution to gain advantage for herself and her boyfriend in her boyfriend’s divorce. She violated her public duties not to make that kind of a threat in order to serve her private personal interests and those of Mr. Wade.

Another actual operational conflict, the last category is the conduct of the defense of this hearing. There are a lot of objections made based on attorney client privilege during Mr. Bradley’s testimony. Most of those objections were made by the state, but the privilege being asserted does not belong to the state. It belongs to Mr. Wade. That shows that the DA’s office is serving the personal interests of the DA and Mr. Wade in carrying out further concealment and cover up of their relationship and not the cause of justice they are sworn to serve. That is a conflict of interest. It’s a continuation of the wrongful pattern of concealment and cover up that they’ve engaged in since the beginning.

But now they’ve enlisted the entire office in the enterprise. In the written response to the motion to disqualify, they said this, and I quote, to be absolutely clear, there is no evidence that DA Willis derived any financial benefit from Mr. Wade. That’s on page 15. Flat out false.

Ten lawyers in this case put their name on that, starting with the DA. So throw another log on the bonfire of conflicts of interest.

The problem here is the DA cannot distinguish between her personal interests and ambitions on the one hand, and her public duties as a prosecutor on the other. And apparently, neither can anyone else in their office. Of the six conflicts I’ve identified, only one is subject to a conflict in the evidence. This is a case study in what happens when you operate under a conflict of interest. It’s put an irreparable stain on the case.

Think of the message that would be sent if they were not disqualified! If this is tolerated, we’ll get more of it.

This office is a global laughingstock because of their conduct. They should be disqualified and the case should be dismissed.

March 1, 2024 – Alexander Vindman: Trump has ‘every intention’ to undo American democracy

Retired Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman suggested Friday that President Trump has “every intention” to undo American democracy if reelected, as concerns rise over whether the former president would launch a revenge campaign in a second term.

“We might have only one more vote left that really matters,” Vindman said in an interview on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” with anchor Ali Velshi. “If Trump comes to office, he’s already declared that he intends to be a dictator. The President and the chief executive is invested with broad powers.”

“And it’s not easy to undo American democracy that’s been around for nearly 250 years, but a lot of damage has been done,” he added. “And, President Trump has every intention to do that.”

Vindman, who was a key witness in Trump’s first impeachment inquiry, suggested Trump would try to run the White House the same way Russian President Vladimir Putin runs the Kremlin. He urged voters to make sure they vote in order to avoid the “challenges and oppression that the Russians are facing.”

His comments come after he criticized Trump for his rhetoric around NATO in the wake of the recent death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s death.

“Donald Trump invited Vladimir Putin to attack NATO,” Vindman told MSNBC’s Michael Steele a little over a week ago. “I would say that that probably was a contributing factor in the calculus around the assassination of Navalny.” (Read more: AOL News, 3/02/2024)  (Archive)

March 1, 2024 – “The f’ing spy chief of China” CEFC executive Patrick Ho, wants his $1 million back from Hunter Biden for legal services never rendered

Hunter Biden’s CEFC China Energy Co. “client” who paid him $1 million for legal services never rendered in 2017 has reportedly threatened to sue the president’s son if he does not return the money.

The threat raises questions about the nature of Hunter’s legal representation of CEFC, a foreign entity. Hunter did not register as a foreign agent to represent CEFC. The special counsel did not charge Hunter with violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) in the tax indictment.

CEFC executive Patrick Ho, whom Hunter previously described as “the fucking spy chief of China,” wrote in a demand letter to Hunter requesting the return of the funds because the president’s son did not fulfill his obligations, the New York Post’s Miranda Devine reported:

Ho’s letter, sent by Hong Kong law firm Huen & Partners to Hunter’s attorney Abbe Lowell in Washington, DC, set a deadline of seven days for the repayment of any remaining funds.

“Patrick says he paid him, and that Hunter never did anything for him,” a friend of Ho’s told The Post, “and that according to the contract, the money should be reimbursed.”

The $1 million legal retainer was wired from CEFC in China to CEFC’s Hong Kong HSBC account, and then, on November 2, 2017, to the American bank account of Hudson West III (HWIII), the firm Hunter co-owned with CEFC, and then to Hunter’s private firm, Owasco, according to his California tax indictment.

Hunter admitted during his failed plea deal in July, “My own law firm” got a $1 million “payment for legal fees for Patrick Ho.” (Read more: Breitbart, 3/04/2024)  (Archive)

March 1, 2024 – Jack Smith asks DC Judge Boasberg to decide what Trump classified doc evidence to show Florida judge

Judge James Boasberg (Credit: public domain)

If you ever needed a good point to highlight the nature of political Lawfare, this is a great example.

Julie Kelly essentially notes that Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is asking DC Judge James Boasberg to decide what evidence should be given to Florida Judge Aileen Cannon.

Julie Kelly (Via Twitter) – “It appears that records related to the grand jury proceedings in DC on the classified docs case remain under seal and have not been transmitted to Judge Cannon or defense.

Recall that almost the entire investigation into the classified docs matter took place in Washington DC–not southern FLA even though it is the controlling jurisdiction since the alleged “crime” of retaining classified records/national defense info happened at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach.

DOJ then Jack Smith kept the case in Trump-hating DC courthouse so they could get favorable rulings from then-chief judge Beryl Howell–which they did. For example, Howell cited the crime fraud exception to justify piercing atty-client privilege between Trump and his lawyer, Evan Corcoran, to force Corcoran to turn over his records to DOJ.

Highly unlikely that would have happened in FLA especially before Judge Cannon. But right before indictment, Jack Smith moved the case to Florida. Reports at the time indicated DOJ read summaries of its grand jury evidence to a FLA grand jury in order to secure the indictment.

So, how is it almost nine months post-indictment that trove of evidence remains under seal? When the issue was raised, David Harbach said DOJ was “in the process” of asking the current DC chief judge James Boasberg to review the file, add redactions if needed, and transmit to FLA court. (link)

There is a certain level of cognitive disassociation needed by the media to ignore how the DOJ is using a DC court system to prosecute a Florida case against Trump.   Go Deep on Boasberg HERE

Boasberg, an ally of SSCI Chairman Mark Warner, has intercepted several cases that brought sunlight upon the corrupt DC system.  In each case Boasberg ruled in favor of maintaining the corruption, including his willfully blind support of the FBI searching NSA databases to conduct illegal surveillance of Americans, and including Boasberg’s personal appointment of Mary McCord to run defense on behalf of the corrupt DOJ main office.

Julie Kelly:

Before I get to summary of afternoon proceedings in FLA classified docs hearing, I want to isolate this.

March 2, 2024 – CDC now says Covid is just the flu; In the past, DHS made instructional videos telling children to snitch on family members who claimed Covid was no more fatal than the flu

March 3, 2024 – Chris Huttman, the partner of Fani Willis’ deputy Jeff DiSantis works with Biden 2024 campaign

Chris Huttman, the business partner of Fulton County’s Deputy District Attorney Jeff DiSantis, works with President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign, financial disclosures reviewed by Breitbart News show.

Huttman’s connection with DiSantis is significant because sources with direct knowledge of Fulton County’s office exclusively told Breitbart News that DiSantis is a Biden plant inside the office to target former President Donald Trump.

Huttman is the “head media buyer and strategist” at “Media Buying and Analytics, LLC,” according to multiple press reports and a candidate advertisement agreement signed in 2023 with the Biden campaign.

  • Media Buying and Analytics is the top vendor for Biden’s 2024 reelection campaign.
  • The entity raked in $8,687,624 during the 2024 cycle.

Huttman’s history with Biden goes back to the 2020 cycle, according to Federal Election Commission records.

  • Media Buying and Analytics earned $1.2 million from the Biden campaign in 2020.
  • Open Secrets ranked the entity as the top Biden campaign vendor during the 2020 cycle.

Media Buying and Analytics, LLC does not have a large online footprint, but Huttman’s partnership bio with DiSantis describes him as a “media buyer and analyst he has extensive experience using polling and historical election data and has directly placed or assisted with over $100m in media spending.” It also says Huttman worked with the 2008 Obama campaign in Georgia to target the black vote. (Read more: Breitbart, 3/03/2024)  (Archive)

More info:

Why is Disantis in her office?   Documents indicate he is a high-end democratic consultant with experience up to presidential campaigns, someone who would seem to be vastly overqualified for such a position in a local DA’s office.

Question #1 – Why did he join the DA’s office and is he a playing a role other than what his title would suggest?

Disantis is also a principal of 20/20 Insight, LLC. and is associated with Chris Huttman. 2020/Insight’s website describes them as:

Question #2 – Is it appropriate (or even legal) for a District Attorney employee to be employed by a clearly partisan corporation while working for the DA’s office?

Who is Chris Huttman and what skills does he bring to 20/20 Insight?

20/20 Insight’s website:  “Chris is the technology director for 20/20 Insight, and is a former candidate for state representative in Georgia.  As a media buyer and analyst he has extensive experience using polling and historical election data and has directly placed or assisted with over $100m in media spending.

So it would appear that Huttman is an expert in finding and analyzing data.   The AJC quoted his work in polling about Buckhead splitting from the City of Atlanta:

Huttman is also associated with Canal Partners which claims to be the lead buying agency for Biden in 2020 and involved in every presidential race since 1988.

Earlier in the Fani Willis case she arranged for a Special Grand Jury to be selected.  Very shortly after the Jury was excused, the Foreman, Emily Kohrs, took the surprising step of appearing on various national media and discussing aspects of the Special Grand Jury’s work.

At the time, many suggested this might put a key flaw in the viability of any charges that might be brought as a result of the Special Grand Jury’s recommendations.

The Hill reported that former Governor Chris Christie said: “I think she did a lot of damage to the case,” Christie said in an interview with conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt, but added that “she didn’t violate the law.”

It was also reported at the time that Kohrs was a follower and perhaps a practitioner of Wicca (aka witchcraft.)

Question #3 – How could such a person be picked for a Special Grand Jury and also selected as Foreman?

Some point to the entry of Disantis into Willis’ office and his connection to 20/20 Insight and Chris Huttman as possible clues.

Chris Huttman was acknowledged as a data and analysis expert.   He has been quoted in Atlanta publications citing various studies he has conducted and the precision with which he has been able to identify and poll groups of individuals within the community.

Question #4 – Was Disantis, working within Willis’ office part of the Jury selection process?

With the capabilities of 20/20 Insight and Chris Huttman would they have been able to create a jury pool conducive to the outcome wished?      We don’t know.

Would such a pool yield members who might be biased to the point of predefining the jury’s findings and recommendations?

While the information spawns more questions than answers, it does add to the befuddling steps and players that have been a part of these indictments and drama for more than a year.

March 3, 2024 – Marc Elias boasts about Trump low number of primary votes in DC

Democrat election lawyer Marc E. Elias boasted Sunday that President Donald Trump cannot receive a fair trial in the District of Columbia, after noting the small number of votes Trump received Saturday in the Republican primary there.

Elias runs the so-called “Democracy Docket,” suing on behalf of Democrats and claiming to defend “democracy” in doing so. He played a key role in planting the “Russia collusion” hoax, which sought to undermine the results of the 2016 presidential election. He was also instrumental in suing states to change their voting laws ahead of the 2020 presidential election to enable mass vote-by-mail, a tactic that was crucial to Democratic turnout in swing states.

His comment was not only an admission that Trump cannot receive a fair trial in a jurisdiction full of potential jurors who are opposed to him, but celebrated that fact, because it would make convicting the former president even easier. (Read more: Breitbart, 3/04/2024) (Archive)

March 4, 2024 – In an unanimous decision, SCOTUS tosses Colorado ruling barring Trump from Colorado ballot

The Supreme Court on Monday tossed out a Colorado court ruling that barred Donald Trump from appearing on the state’s Republican presidential primary ballot because of a provision in the U.S. Constitution related to people who engage in insurrection.

The unanimous decision in Trump’s favor by the Supreme Court — which means votes he garners on Tuesday’s ballot will count for the former president — was not a surprise.

In December the Colorado Supreme Court disqualified Trump from the 2024 ballot.

All 7 Colorado Supreme Court justices were appointed by Democrats – 3 of the justices dissented to the ruling.

The legal theories are based on Section 3 of the US Constitution’s 14th Amendment which states public officials who have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion against” the US may be disqualified from public office.

Trump has not been charged with engaging in insurrection or rebellion against the United States.

Oral arguments before the Supreme Court on Trump’s ballot eligibility wrapped in early February.

The Supreme Court expressed skepticism as they heard arguments from Colorado lawyer Jason Murray. Even the liberal justices expressed concern.

It was unanimous.

March 4, 2024 – Arizona judge refuses to extradite a murder suspect to Alvin Bragg’s jurisdiction

A judge in Arizona delivered a blow to George Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg this week after refusing to extradite a murder suspect to New York City.

Raad Almansoori (Credit: public domain)

During a hearing, Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell argued against sending murder suspect Raad Almansoori, 26, back to Bragg’s jurisdiction after the suspect was accused of beating a woman to death at a Manhattan hotel.

Mitchell argued that Bragg does not have a good reputation for treating violent suspects too well. Court Commissioner Barbara Spencer ruled in favor of Mitchell, which dealt a huge blow to Bragg, the Washington Examiner reported.

“Nothing can happen on the fugitive case other than there could be what’s called a governor’s directive, which is the document that would hold you instead of the governor’s warrant, or you would choose to sign a waiver,” Spencer told Almansoori in court, KSAZ-TV reported.

Bragg immediately responded, claiming that his priority was the pursuit of justice. “Seeking justice for victims and survivors is our priority at the Manhattan D.A.’s Office,” said a spokesperson for the DA’s office, the New York Post reported.

“We do not stand on ceremony but prioritize the integrity of the process,” they continued. “We are proceeding as we do in every case involving an out-of-state arrest: following the facts and the law to ensure justice is served.”

Prosecutors in Manhattan can still petition Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) to override the judge’s ruling and agree to extradite Almansoori.

Mitchell made waves when she subtly criticized Bragg for what some perceived as his lenient approach to violent criminals. It served as the basis for her decision not to extradite Almansoori, who allegedly fled to Arizona following the murder of Denisse Oleas-Arancibia, 38.

“Having observed the treatment of violent criminals in the New York area by the Manhattan D.A. there, Alvin Bragg,” Mitchell told reporters last month. “I think it’s safer to keep him here and keep him in custody so that he cannot be out doing this to individuals either in our state, county or anywhere in the United States.” (Read more: Conservative Brief, 6/04/2024)  (Archive)

March 4, 2024 – Two more witnesses come forward to contradict testimony of Nathan Wade’s former law partner Terrence Bradley

A second witness came forward with claims that Nathan Wade’s former law partner Terrence Bradley made statements in private conversations that contradicted his testimony under oath, according to a Tuesday court filing.

Manubir “Manny” Arora (Credit: ALM | Law.com)

Bradley allegedly divulged details about Wade’s relationship with Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to former adjunct professor at Georgia State School of Law Manny Arora in several conversations between September and October 2023, according to a court filing by Trump co-defendant Cathy Latham’s attorneys. On the witness stand, Bradley insisted that he could “not recall” various details about their relationship, such as when it began — a detail he allegedly provided to Latham — and said he was “speculating” when confronted with texts he sent defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant confirming when the relationship began.

The court filing notes Bradley told Arora that Wade began a relationship with Willis while she was running for district attorney from 2019-2020 and that Wade supervised Willis’ transition team, which included hiring and firing staff, according to the filing.

Arora represented Trump co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro, who took a plea deal in October. (Read more: The Daily Caller, 3/05/2024)  (Archive)

Cindi Lee Yeager (Credit: public domain)

Another witness can say that Bradley didn’t tell the truth under oath:

Trump co-defendant David Shafer’s attorneys told Judge Scott McAfee Monday that Cindi Lee Yeager, co-chief deputy for the Cobb County District Attorney’s Office, could also testify to multiple conversations she had with Bradley that “directly” contradicted his testimony on the witness stand.

“Ms. Yeager watched Mr. Bradley’s testimony before the Court and became concerned as a result of the fact that what Mr. Bradley testified to on the witness stand was directly contrary to what Mr. Bradley had told Ms. Yeager in person,” the filing stated.

Maybe Bradley shouldn’t contradict himself under oath. (Read more: Legal Insurrection, 3/05/2024)  (Archive)

Within 24 hours of exposing taxpayer-funded sex kink parties within the Senate Appropriations Committee’s new spending bill, the Senate voted unanimously to remove the earmark from the bill entirely.

After realizing Libs of TikTok was responsible for breaking this viral story, Senator John Fetterman reversed his withdrawal from the bill, reaffirming his support for sex kink parties. However, this realization came after the Senate already voted to remove it.

March 5, 2024 – Joe Biden’s illegal alien crime wave starts to get public attention – Grady Judd human trafficking bust press conference

The Daily Mail has an article detailing dozens of violent crimes perpetrated by Joe Biden’s illegal alien border invasion [SEE HERE]. The subject theme is “the grim toll of a migrant crime wave sweeping across the United States.”  The article details the graphic and horrific nature of multiple violent criminals who came into the country illegally and murdered, raped, assaulted and organized into groups for the purpose of robbery and theft.

Additionally, in Polk County Florida, Sheriff Grady Judd outlines a sting operation called “March Sadness” where 228 people were arrested and 13 victims of human trafficking were rescued by the police unit.  The details shared by Sherriff Judd are sobering as he outlines exactly what was taking place and how the illegal alien trafficking system is creating victims from many of the female migrants. [ARTICLE HERE] – WATCH (prompted):

The details of these articles and press conferences are likely not a surprise to CTH readers as we have discussed exactly these scenarios in our SAF (slowly at first) ground reports.  Unfortunately, the outcomes described by the Daily Mail accounting and the sting operation by Sherriff Judd are likely only the tip of the iceberg.

What Judd outlines about the federal government giving the illegal aliens free airline tickets is infuriating.  Watch that video above for details.

March 5, 2024 – Architect of the Ukraine crisis, aka World War Reddit, State Dept executive producer Victoria Nuland will retire this month

Victoria Nuland (Credit: public domain)

Victoria Nuland, the third-highest ranking U.S. diplomat and one of the principal agents responsible for attempted color revolutions, (ie. Russia and Ukraine), will retire and leave her post this month, according to The State Department today.

This is a good indicator that things are not going according to the Obama/Biden agenda. GOOD!

Anthony Blinken – Victoria Nuland has let me know that she intends to step down in the coming weeks as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs – a role in which she has personified President Biden’s commitment to put diplomacy back at the center of our foreign policy and revitalize America’s global leadership at a crucial time for our nation and the world.

Toria’s tenure caps three and a half decades of remarkable public service under six Presidents and ten Secretaries of State. Starting with her very first posting as a consular officer in Guangzhou, China, Toria’s had most of the jobs in this Department. Political officer and economic officer. Spokesperson and chief of staff. Deputy Assistant Secretary and Assistant Secretary. Special Envoy and Ambassador.

These experiences have armed Toria with an encyclopedic knowledge of a wide range of issues and regions, and an unmatched capacity to wield the full toolkit of American diplomacy to advance our interests and values.

What makes Toria truly exceptional is the fierce passion she brings to fighting for what she believes in most: freedom, democracy, human rights, and America’s enduring capacity to inspire and promote those values around the world. (read more)

March 5, 2024 – Tucker Carlson interviews Hunter Biden’s psychiatrist and reveals why he had Hunter’s second laptop

If you’ve been following the Hunter Biden laptop story, you may remember a psychiatrist called Dr. Keith Ablow. The DEA took Hunter Biden’s laptop from Dr. Ablow’s home office. Dr. Ablow explains why.

(Washington Examiner reports the laptop was retrieved in a DEA raid, February 2020.)

Another laptop tied to Hunter Biden was reportedly obtained by the Drug Enforcement Administration earlier this year.

Sources told NBC News that the device belonging to the 50-year-old son of former Vice President Joe Biden, who is now a presidential candidate, was taken into custody by the DEA in February while executing a search warrant in the Massachusetts office of a psychiatrist who was accused of professional misconduct.

That former celebrity psychiatrist, Keith Ablow, saw his medical license suspended after he faced allegations of sexually exploiting patients and illegally diverting prescription drugs. Ablow has denied the allegations and has not been charged with any crime.

The report from NBC on Friday said Hunter Biden was not a target of the search or the investigation, and his lawyer got the laptop back. It remains unclear why the device was there in the first place.

A lawyer for Hunter Biden did not immediately return a request for comment. The Washington Examiner also reached out to the DEA for comment. Hunter Biden has struggled with substance abuse. He was discharged from the U.S. Navy in 2013 after testing positive for cocaine. (Read more: Washington Examiner, 10/30/2020)  (Archive)

A corporate media journalist, who controversially demanded that unvaccinated members of the public be taken away to concentration camps, has died at just 33 years old.

Ian Vandaelle died after being hospitalized and “declared neurologically dead,” his family revealed.

Vandaelle was a Canadian business journalist who worked as a reporter and editor at the Financial Post.

He was also previously a producer at BNN Bloomberg for over a decade.

However, he was known to many on social media for his pro-Covid vaccine posts on Twitter, now known as X.

Vandaelle advocated for vaccine passports and mandates and called for the firing of anyone who refused the injections.

He also suggested that unvaccinated people should be arrested and taken away to concentration camps by their governments.

Stephanie Hughes, Vandaelle’s partner, revealed that he died suddenly.

March 6, 2024 – Judge Cannon grants the filing of two Amicus Briefs for the Trump Document Case

Complete tweet:

United States v. Trump
(Docs Case)

Judge Cannon has granted the filing of two Amicus Briefs in this case and will consider them.

One from America First Legal and the other from Citizens United Foundation.

The AFL brief argues that criminal referral from NARA which lead to the indictment of Trump violated the Administrative Procedures Act should therefore be dismissed as should the indictment.

The CUF brief is the Ed Meese filing that was filed with SCOTUS arguing that Jack Smith was unlawfully appointed and does not have the authority to prosecute the case.

Special Counsel Smith and President Trump have until March 15, 2024 to respond to the briefs if they wish to do so.

March 6, 2024 – MSNBC’s Nicole Wallace: If Trump is elected, America will be a ‘threat to the world order’ aka The New World Order

(Credit: Clipping from Breitbart video)

MSNBC anchor Nicolle Wallace said Wednesday on “Deadline” that if former President Donald Trump is elected president again, the United States would become a threat to the world order.

Wallace said, “One of my favorite conversations you had last night we were talking about sort of the things that were still in the DNA of the two parties, that the Republicans fall in line and the Democrats sort of wait to fall I think they largely love Joe Biden and what he’s done, but they want to be more madly in love with someone or something. It was on display last night. Donald Trump has all this resistance He’s losing like 35 to 55% of the primary voters. But Mitch McConnell fails in line.”

She continued, “Biden wins 98% and like 5% uncommitted, and Dems are still wringing their hands sayin, ‘I don’t know will Newsom get in?’ It is bonkers.”

Wallace added, “To the degree the country’s in any decline, it is the threat of a second Trump term. I had the former Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull on and I said will we still be part of the intelligence sharing? He said ‘I don’t know.’ America becoming a threat which is a threat to the world order if Trump is re-elected is known known to quote Donald Rumsfeld. It is a known known. I don’t know if former Defense Secretary Mattis or Mark Milley will come out and say those things, but everyone in the National Security establishment who worked in and was around the first Trump term will tell you that. And what they would say privately and publicly is America could survive one Trump term, it won’t survive a second. That is a fact of the view of those who were tasked with protecting our national security during his presidency before and probably some are still in those agencies. And yet Mitch McConnell who, if I have access to that information, Mitch McConnell does, too, endorsed Trump today.” (Breitbart News, 3/06/2024) (Archive)

March 7, 2024 – New Isikoff book admits Fani Willis’ get-Trump investigation began with illegal recording

With Fani Willis repeatedly saying the entire investigation into Republicans was the result of an illegally recorded phone call, defendants might pursue legal recourse.

Democrat Fani Willis’ legal troubles extend beyond recent revelations that she deceptively hired her otherwise under-qualified, secret, married lover to run the political prosecution of former President Donald Trump and other Republicans in Georgia. A new book from Mike Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman admits that a widely misunderstood phone call, on which Willis’ political prosecution rests, was illegally recorded. That means the entire prosecution could crumble with defendants having a new avenue to challenge Democrat lawfare.

Find Me the Votes: A Hard-Charging Georgia Prosecutor, a Rogue President, and the Plot to Steal an American Election is a fawning political biography of Willis. For context on the bias of the authors, Isikoff was an original Russia-collusion hoaxer, and his articles to that end were used to secure warrants for the FBI to spy on innocent Republican presidential campaign advisers such as Carter Page.

For years, the media and other Democrats have held up Willis as a brilliant and credible prosecutor of Republicans. The new book suffers from poor timing, with Willis and her lover accused of perjury, subornation of perjury, bribery, and kickbacks related to the prosecution. Willis could be removed from the prosecution as early as this week.

(…) The person who recorded the phone call wasn’t in Fulton County or even in Georgia. That’s a problem. Jordan Fuchs, a political activist who serves as Raffensperger’s chief of staff, was in Florida, where it is illegal to record a call without all parties to the call consenting to the recording. She neither asked for nor received consent to record.

Jordan Fuchs (Credit: public domain)

Fuchs was one of the main sources for Isikoff and Klaidman’s book, they admit in their acknowledgments. While they reward her with effusive praise throughout, she comes off very poorly. For example, she offers a frankly unhinged conspiracy theory that President Trump was planning to lose the 2020 election as early as May of 2020 and was therefore floating a plan with Washington Post reporters to win the election in Georgia through the legislature. She describes how she “invented a new policy” to block public view of an election audit. She indicates such little knowledge of election laws and processes that she seems to think Georgia requires voters to use Social Security numbers to vote.

Fuchs is instead described as a “street-smart deputy” of Raffensperger who is obsessed with personal slights, political payback, and her hatred of Trump, his supporters, and his team. Her previous dabbling in the occult is contextualized, along with her shocking lack of knowledge of election law and processes — which brings us to the illegally taped phone call.

“Unlike many of her fellow Republican consultants with whom she had worked, Fuchs had a friendly working relationship with members of the Fourth Estate,” Isikoff and Klaidman write before describing Fuchs’ regular leaks to The Washington Post, which conservatives despise for its left-wing propaganda, hoaxes such as the Russia-collusion lie, and smears of conservatives such as Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Fuchs first gave The Washington Post fabricated quotes they later had to retract about a phone call President Trump had with someone in the elections office. Though Fuchs was not busted for her lie until March 2021, months after the fabricated quotes were used to impeach President Trump, the authors of the book say the embarrassment of being found out taught her the importance of recording phone calls such as the early January 2021 phone call that forms the basis of Willis’ investigation. They do not explain how this lesson worked in terms of the space-time continuum.

In any case, Fuchs recorded a phone call between Trump, Raffensperger, and their associates. Fuchs ended the call by saying they should get off the phone and work to “preserve the relationship” between the two offices. Instead, she immediately leaked the phone call to The Washington Post, which published it hours later.

Covering up the Crime

This is where the authors of the book admit that the very recording of the call was a crime:

Fuchs has never talked publicly about her taping of the phone call; she learned, after the fact, that Florida where she was at the time is one of fifteen states that requires two-party consent for the taping of phone calls. A lawyer for Raffensperger’s office asked the January 6 committee not to call her as a witness for reasons the committee’s lawyers assumed were due to her potential legal exposure. The committee agreed. But when she was called before a Fulton County special grand jury convened by Fani Willis, she was granted immunity and confirmed the taping, according to three sources with direct knowledge of her testimony.

March 07, 2024 – Jack Smith defends the lack of prosecution for Hillary Clinton in latest filing re documents case

Special Counsel Jack Smith has defended the lack of criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for her mishandling of classified information on her private email server.

President Donald Trump has cited Clinton’s case in his defense against Smith’s charges of mishandling classified documents.

In a dramatic turn of events, Smith has vehemently countered Trump’s claims in the ongoing criminal case regarding classified documents.

(…) However, Smith’s filings argue that Trump’s case is markedly different due to the nature and intention behind the retention of the documents.

Smith’s argument emphasizes that, unlike others who may have “unintentionally” kept confidential documents, Trump’s actions were “deliberate.”

(…) In the latest court filing, Smith tries to dismantle Trump’s comparison to the Clinton email case.

He notes that despite Clinton being investigated for using a private server for classified information.

At the time, the DOJ said Clinton was not prosecuted due to a “lack of evidence” of “intentional misconduct.”

In stark contrast, Trump is accused of not only knowingly possessing secret documents but also intentionally withholding them.

In his defense of Clinton, Smith argues there is a clear distinction from any past cases involving the mishandling of classified information.

Smith’s refutation of Trump’s claim of immunity under the Presidential Records Act further complicates Trump’s defense.

According to Smith, the Act does not absolve Trump of his actions, as the classified documents in question were not personal but related to national security, thus falling outside the scope of the Act’s protection.

March 8, 2024 – Col Douglas Macgregor response to Joe Biden SOTU speech

Retired Colonel Douglas MacGregor (Credit: YouTube clipping)

Retired Colonel Douglas Macgregor delivers a surprisingly accurate response to the situation created by Joe Biden as espoused in the 2024 State of the Union address.  I cannot emphasize the value of these remarks strongly enough, in part because my own independent research – and that of a global team I have been working with- is in direct alignment with this outline.

Two years ago, I accepted the reality that Western sanctions against Russia were profoundly different from all other sanctions and completely ridiculous in the bigger picture of how the global economy operates.  A sanction regime is familiar and has been used against Cuba, North Korea, Iran and even Venezuela before.  Few were paying attention, but for the first time the U.S sanctions against Russia were not created to target Russia and punish any violator, they were created to remove the tools which would allow violations.  The actual dollar as a trade currency was being weaponized.

What followed was not a surprise.  Given the nature of the relationships in the geopolitical world, it only took a few months for Russia and their allies to create new tools which would render the Western economic sanctions irrelevant.  That’s exactly what happened, and the Russian economy has thrived, while their relationship with two-thirds of the global world has strengthened.

Feeling like the only person who could see through the opaque nature of a narrative that surrounded the Russian sanctions, I quietly set out on a mission to understand what this was all about.  None of it made sense. More on that journey will follow. However, what Macgregor is describing is precisely the outcome that was predictable two years ago.

There is an information war against what Macgregor describes in the beginning of these remarks, and people I know personally have become targets as a result. It might surprise many to discover the nature of this information war does not originate with government or politicians. Our focus has been misplaced and our emphasis has been on the wrong syllable. WATCH:

The targets within this information war are not people who are criticizing politicians. The core targets within this information war are those who are talking about the entities who are controlling and directing the politicians and government.  The voices who are considered a threat are not, repeat NOT, voices who are critical of government.  The voices who are considered a threat are those who understand the government actors are controlled and intentionally presented as the false source of the problem.

Just as Jack Smith is not the controlling entity organizing the targeting of Donald Trump, so too is Joe Biden (and the administration) not the originating entity who organized the Western sanction regime against Russia.  Jack Smith and Joe Biden are essentially actors, vessels following a design that has been created by outside government entities for the purpose of targeting Donald Trump and/or Russia respectively.  The bigger motives and intents of targeting both are essentially the same.  There are trillions at stake.

Outside government actors like Mary McCord, Norm Eisen, Andrew Weissmann and crew are the organizers behind Jack Smith’s effort.  They are the characters who coordinate with Fani Willis (GA) and Letishia James (NY).  Those individuals are funded by outside government institutions.  Ultimately, Jack Smith is the vessel.

Within the Western finance system, Blackrock, Vanguard, the WEF and a host of similarly aligned massive financial interests are the organizers behind the Russian sanction regime.  The USA government is the vessel.

FOLLOW THE MONEY…. This is one of the reasons why the entire political establishment is behind support for Ukraine. Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street and a host of massive financial interests are the funding mechanism for U.S. politicians.

The various Western governments and politicians are the vessels, not the originating sources of these policies.

Macgregor doesn’t go deep in the weeds on this, but what he describes as the economic and financial outcome is entirely accurate. (Conservative Treehouse, 3/08/2024)  (Archive)

March 8, 2024 – Sheriff Dar Leaf accuses Michigan prosecutor of attempting to take control of his ongoing investigation into Michigan 2020 presidential election

Michigan Sheriff Dar Leaf (Credit: Screenshot/WXMI)

Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf announced that he has launched an investigation into the handling of the Michigan 2020 election, implicating Dominion Voting Systems officials, Michigan’s Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Attorney General Dana Nessel, computer scientist J. Alex Halderman, and others in potential misconduct.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported in 2022 that Sheriff Dar Leaf filed a lawsuit against the lawless and obstructive actions of Attorney General Dana Nessel, who regularly mocks and threatens her political opponents, together with Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, who’s blocked the efforts of citizens and law enforcement to investigate voter fraud and voter irregularities related to the 2020 election.

The Barry County Sheriff is also suing MI Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s henchman, Jonathan Brater.

Jonathan Brater (CSpan clipping)

Jonathan Brater is Michigan’s Director of Elections, a member of the executive branch of state government, and an employee of the state. As director of elections, Mr. Brater is “vested with the powers and shall perform the duties of the secretary of state under his or her supervision, with respect to the supervision and administration of the election laws.”

The lawsuit states that Attorney General Nessel, who has no accountability to the Barry County Electorate, and even less authority to encroach upon the law enforcement functions of a constitutional sheriff, has committed a flagrant violation of constitutional and statutory laws by usurping the power of Sheriff Dar Leaf by obstructing, impeding, prejudging the ability of a duly elected official to conduct a criminal investigation into allegations of criminal acts related to the 2020 election and voting.

  • Defendants, without authority, encroached upon Sheriff Dar Leaf’s duties by obstructing and interfering with his lawful investigation, obstructing justice in the process, and covering up evidence and crimes, including those that they themselves were involved in and conspired with others to commit.
  • Defendants usurped and otherwise obstructed an elected constitutional officer and prevented him from performing his constitutional, statutory, and common-law duties as County Sheriff in accordance with the Michigan Constitution, and state and federal laws.
  • Defendants, without legitimate authority, also unconstitutionally and unlawfully confiscated property, documents, and information (including voting machines with its attendant software, programs, and data), all of which was required to be sealed, preserved, protected, and retained by federal law.
  • Defendants acted in concert or individually to transfer and reallocate the duties and powers of the Plaintiff, usurping his power and removing from him or otherwise preventing his ability to perform his constitutional and statutory duties.
  • Defendants acts included but are not limited to threatening, harassing, and interfering with witnesses, local government officials (including township clerks), deputies, agents, and experts, and interfering with, obstructing, and otherwise defiling investigative works and the results of such works; confiscating and/or destroying confidential files and information pertaining to an ongoing investigation; unconstitutionally and unlawfully (and without the proper procedure) usurping Plaintiff’s law enforcement functions and authorities, which are exclusively reserved to him under Michigan common law and statutory law; stepping in to quell an ongoing legitimate investigation, confiscating confidential files and documents related thereto; obstructing, harassing, and/or threatening his deputies and agents conducting the law enforcement function on his behalf as they are allowed to do exclusively and with immunity under Michigan law, confiscating voting equipment and information and data that is required by federal law to be protected and preserved.

On or about November 3, 2020, Plaintiff Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf received information that election fraud and voting machine fraud was taking place in Barry County, Michigan, before, during, and after the November 2020 election.

Pursuant to his exclusive common-law and statutory duties to investigate and ferret out criminal activity occurring within his county, Sheriff Leaf opened an investigation.

D. H. Hilson (Credit: public domain)

On Thursday, Sheriff Leaf received a subpoena from the office of Muskegon County Prosecutor D.J. Hilson, ordering him to present his law enforcement files at the Oakland County courthouse with less than 24 hours’ notice.

Leaf has expressed reluctance to comply fully with the subpoena, citing concerns over compromising his department’s ongoing investigation.

Sheriff Leaf asserts that his department possesses sensitive documents, including email communications that suggest Dominion employees directed Serbian foreign nationals to remotely access Michigan’s election system before the certification of the 2020 election results.

These documents include emails that allegedly corroborate evidence contained in expert reports of foreign access to Michigan election equipment.

In addition to the allegations against Dominion, Sheriff Leaf’s files reportedly contain communications from J. Alex Halderman, a University of Michigan Professor of Computer Science and Engineering, who offered assistance to Dominion employees implicated in the investigation.

Halderman is accused of failing to disclose significant security breaches in Michigan’s election equipment and of concealing evidence pertinent to the case.

Recall that Halderman was the same person who was able to HACK A DOMINION VOTING MACHINE to change the tabulation In Front Of U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg in the courtroom! Halderman USED ONLY A PEN TO CHANGE VOTE TOTALS!

Also, Sheriff Leaf disclosed that his office and central dispatch experienced a network outage on the day of the subpoena, leading to suspicions of an attempt to obstruct the investigation.

The Gateway Pundit spoke with Sheriff Dar Leaf who confirmed to us that the letter was his and is accurate.

March 8, 2024 – J6 Committee falsely claimed they had ‘no evidence’ to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had asked for 10,000 National Guard troops

Former Rep. Liz Cheney’s January 6 Committee suppressed evidence that President Donald Trump pushed for 10,000 National Guard troops to protect the nation’s capital, a previously hidden transcript obtained by The Federalist shows.

Cheney and her committee falsely claimed they had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops. In fact, an early transcribed interview conducted by the committee included precisely that evidence from a key source. The interview, which Cheney attended and personally participated in, was suppressed from public release until now.

White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations Anthony Ornato (Credit: Wikipedia)

Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato’s first transcribed interview with the committee was conducted on January 28, 2022. In it, he told Cheney and her investigators that he overheard White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows push Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to request as many National Guard troops as she needed to protect the city.

He also testified President Trump had suggested 10,000 would be needed to keep the peace at the public rallies and protests scheduled for January 6, 2021. Ornato also described White House frustration with Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller’s slow deployment of assistance on the afternoon of January 6, 2021.

Not only did the committee not accurately characterize the interview, they suppressed the transcript from public review. On top of that, committee allies began publishing critical stories and even conspiracy theories about Ornato ahead of follow-up interviews with him. Ornato was a career Secret Service official who had been detailed to the security position in the White House.

Cheney frequently points skeptics of her investigation to the Government Publishing Office website that posted, she said, “transcripts, documents, exhibits & our meticulously sourced 800+ page final report.” That website provides “supporting documents” to the claims made by Cheney and fellow anti-Trump enthusiasts.

However, transcripts of fewer than half of the 1,000 interviews the committee claims it conducted are posted on that site. It is unclear how many of the hidden transcripts include exonerating information suppressed by the committee.

Those documents support the committee’s narrative rather than the truth of the events leading up to January 6, 2021, said Rep. Barry Loudermilk, chairman of the House Administration’s Subcommittee on Oversight. (Read more: The Federalist, 3/08/2024)  (Archive)

Update 3/10/2024

(…) On Saturday, conservative commentator Mark Levin called Cheney out, posting on X: “Sleazy Liz Cheney needs to receive some of the Stalinist medicine she introduced into the body politick against scores of patriotic Americans — that is, she needs to be compelled to testify under oath about, among other things, what knowledge she may have about: possible witness tampering, censorship of exculpatory information and testimony, the destruction of committee evidence and data, etc.”

Cheney responded, calling Mollie Hemingway a “bozo” – and directing people to various sections of the Jan. 6 report in which Secretary of Defense Miller (the guy who was ‘slow to deploy’ assistance) said Trump never ordered 10,000 troops, and that Kash Patel is “not a credible witness” (as determined by a judge with a conflict noted below).

Note that Cheney never addresses the suppression of information.

March 9, 2024 – Intelligence community influence operators to meet House Intel Committee ahead of FISA-702 expiration

House Intelligence Committee Chairman, Mike Turner (Credit: public domain)

The Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Mike Turner, may be a Republican – but he is no friend of the American freedom movement who do not like the surveillance state.

Factually, Mike Turner is a part of the deep swamp and has advocated for reforms that make the unconstitutional FISA-702 exploits even worse.  As a result, this meeting with the people who control the surveillance mechanism makes sense.

WASHINGTON DC – The House Intelligence Committee is slated to hear from a series of top national security officials for a public hearing Tuesday, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter who was granted anonymity to speak candidly. That list includes:

Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines
CIA Director Bill Burns
FBI Director Chris Wray
U.S. Cyber Command Director Gen. Timothy Haugh
Defense Intelligence Agency Director Jeffrey Kruse
(LINK)

The FISA-702 surveillance authority is scheduled to expire on April 19th, “Patriots Day.”

Everyone agrees the version of the House authorization by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) is the worst possible outcome; it expands 702 abuse by expanding the surveillance authority.  That reality is factually accurate and correct.

So, reconcile this:

Wait, what?

If the 702-reauthorization bill that passed the HPSCI committee vote is as bad as Kash Patel and everyone says it is (which it is); and if the bill completely ignores the reforms that were suggested and advocated for by Patel and Nunes (which it does); then how does Kash Patel reconcile his boss Devin Nunes supporting the bill per Mike Turner?

The reconciliation is found inside the issue I have recently written about.

Mike Turner is lying about the support from John Ratcliffe and Devin Nunes for the HPSCI FISA-702 reauthorization bill. Ratcliffe and Nunes do not support the Turner construct.

But wait, if that is true (which it is), then why are Ratcliffe, Nunes, and by extension Patel, silent about Turner’s false support claims?

The answer…. Institutional preservation of the HPSCI compartment, and a desire for access therein.

Yes, that is correct. They will rage against the outcome of the institutional endeavor, but only so far as the value of the institution itself must be maintained. Ratcliffe, Nunes and yes, Kash Patel are functionaries of the system. Their sense of identity is dependent on the system.

To remind….

The CIA director, NSA director, ODNI, FBI Director, etc are not in charge of the compartments they represent. They are simply functionaries -middle men- who operate in the space between where the compass points are directed, where the data originates, and oversight of that data that is ultimately filtered and delivered to the functionaries, who then brief the representatives…. who then create policy… albeit flawed policy…. based on a very specific, controlled, compartmented and skewed information flow.

March 11, 2024 – House Oversight releases the January 6 Initial Findings Report

Chairman Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) released his January 6 Initial Findings Report on Monday, March 11, 2024.

(…) “For nearly two years former Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s January 6th Select Committee promoted hearsay and cherry-picked information to promote its political goal – to legislatively prosecute former President Donald Trump,” said Chairman Loudermilk on Monday.

“It was no surprise that the Select Committee’s final report focused primarily on former President Trump and his supporters, not the security failures and reforms needed to ensure the United States Capitol is safer today than in 2021.”

“The American people deserve the entire truth about what caused the violent breach at the United States Capitol of January 6, 2021. It is unfortunate the Select Committee succumbed to their political inclinations and chased false narratives instead of providing the important work of a genuine investigation. In my committee’s investigation, it is my objective to uncover the facts about January 6, without political bias or spin. My report today is just the beginning,” Loudermilk concluded.

March 11, 2024 – House Oversight J6 Report: The January 6 Committee colluded with Fani Willis’ office

(…) There is evidence that Fulton County Georgia Fani Willis met with the illicit committee, and she participated in numerous calls with the sham committee. The J6 Committee even shared video recordings with Fani’s office but deleted the recordings to prevent Republican lawmakers from gaining access to it.

This information was published on pages 49 and 50 of the report.

From the report:

“Politico also reported that Fani Willis’ staff met with the Select Committee in April 2022 and participated in multiple phone calls with the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office. The same video recordings that the Fulton County District Attorney requested were never archived by the Select Committee.

“Although no additional communications between the Select Committee and the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office were archived by the Select Committee, the prospect of the Select Committee sharing video recordings of witness interviews with Willis but not this Subcommittee remains particularly concerning. The Subcommittee has opened an investigation into the extent of the coordination between Willis and the Select Committee and is committed to uncovering answers to these questions.

This is not the first time Liz Cheney’s committee was accused of deleting evidence. The Committee deleted numerous video interviews that would have exonerated President Trump. (Read more: The Gateway Pundit, 3/12/2024)  (Archive)

March 11, 2024 – Another media conspiracy, the time that Trump attacked a Secret Service agent on Jan 6, implodes

March 11, 2024 – Special Counsel Dave Weiss retaliates against Hunter Biden IRS whistleblowers

David Weiss (Credit: (Screenshot/CBS News)

Two months ago, Special Counsel Dave Weiss retaliated against Hunter Biden IRS whistleblowers Supervisory Special Agent Gary Shapley and Special Agent Joseph Ziegler by falsely suggesting they were under investigation by a government agency.

Weiss began retaliating against the whistleblowers in 2022, however, the special counsel filed a court document two months ago and falsely claimed Shapley and Ziegler were under investigation for potential misconduct.

Dave Weiss redacted information related to his claims against the whistleblowers under the guise of an “ongoing investigation.”

“Both SSA Shapley and SA Ziegler have filed whistleblower retaliation claims with OSC, and we understand OSC has requested related documents as part of an investigation into the retaliation claims. Specifically, SSA Shapley has alleged that now-Special Counsel David Weiss began retaliating against Shapley in November 2022 when Weiss learned Shapley had been making protected whistleblower disclosures about Weiss’s office to his IRS chain of command. Those disclosures included allegations Weiss’s office (the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Delaware) engaged in prosecutorial misconduct in the Hunter Biden case by treating Mr. Biden more leniently than similarly situated taxpayers who were not politically connected.” Attorneys for the IRS whistleblowers wrote in a letter to the Acting Principal Deputy Special Counsel.

“Two months ago Special Counsel Weiss filed a document in one of the criminal prosecutions of Hunter Biden drafted and redacted carefully to lead the public to believe SSA Shapley and SA Ziegler were under investigation for potential misconduct. That March 11, 2024 filing opened by stating: “[T]wo IRS agents, Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, . . . . have made unsubstantiated claims that prosecutors’ decision-making in this investigation was infected by politics.” The filing continued later: “[A]s described in the attached declaration, Exhibit 2 (filed under seal), the IRS has taken responsible steps to address Shapley’s and Ziegler’s conduct.” Over half of the next page was also redacted. The referenced Exhibit 2 stated the redactions were “to a potential ongoing investigation. . . and the government has filed three exhibits [under seal] that reference a potential ongoing investigation,” the letter stated.

March 12, 2024 – They call it a “Bloodbath at the RNC” as Team Trump plans to cut 60 staff jobs and cancel vendor contracts

Alright, alright, alright. All the right people are pearl clutching as the new MAGA RNC leadership starts eliminating positions, reprioritizing the Republican National Committee on the functions that matter, and canceling professionally republican vendor contracts.

Essentially, the business end of the professionally republican RNC is being taken apart and retooled as a more election centric operation.

WASHINGTON – Donald Trump’s newly installed leadership team at the Republican National Committee on Monday began the process of pushing out dozens of officials, according to two people close to the Trump campaign and the RNC.

All told, the expectation is that more than 60 RNC staffers who work across the political, communications and data departments will be let go. Those being asked to resign include five members of the senior staff, though the names were not made public. Additionally, some vendor contracts are expected to be cut.

In a letter to some political and data staff, Sean Cairncross, the RNC’s new chief operating officer, said that the new committee leadership was “in the process of evaluating the organization and staff to ensure the building is aligned” with its vision. “During this process, certain staff are being asked to resign and reapply for a position on the team.”

The overhaul is aimed at cutting, what one of the people described as, “bureaucracy” at the RNC. But the move also underscores the swiftness with which Trump’s operation is moving to take over the Republican Party’s operations after the former president all but clinched the party’s presidential nomination last week.

Trump’s campaign took over operational control of the RNC on Monday. On Friday, former North Carolina GOP Chair Michael Whatley was elected the RNC’s new chair, and Trump daughter-in-law Lara Trump was elected as co-chair. Both had Trump’s endorsement. Additionally, Trump senior campaign adviser Chris LaCivita was named as the RNC’s new chief of staff. (read more)

Did he tell his ghostwriter on February 16, 2017, that he had just found all of his classified stuff downstairs? “He did make that statement that was captured on an audio recording.”

And on April 10, 2017, Biden read aloud a classified passage? “Correct.”

@RepArmstrongND: “It appears from the report that President Biden met every actual element of the crime.”

The Robert Hur hearing:

𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲, 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐁𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧 “𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬” 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐧.

President Biden kept classified documents, “critical to his legacy,” about Afghanistan and the Afghanistan troop surge “in a badly damaged box surrounded by household detritus” in his Delaware garage. At his Delaware home, President Biden also kept notebooks containing classified information in unlocked drawers in his office and basement den. President Biden kept these classified documents to cite in his memoirs to prove “he was a man of presidential timber.” On at least three occasions, President Biden “read from classified entries aloud to his ghostwriter nearly verbatim.”

𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐁𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧 “𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩” 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞.

Evidence suggested President Biden “was deeply familiar with the measures taken to safeguard classified information and the need for those measures to prevent harm to national security.” The Special Counsel noted that President Biden has nearly fifty years of experience with classified information, and previously publicly acknowledged limits on how a sitting or former president or vice president may properly handle classified information. Moreover, he said of President Trump allegedly keeping classified documents: how can “anyone . . . be that irresponsible” and “voiced concern about ‘[w]hat data was in the there that may compromise sources and methods.’”

𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐥 𝐇𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐁𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐮𝐛𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝, 𝐭𝐡𝐮𝐬, 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝.

The Special Counsel worried that jurors might be persuaded by President Biden’s presentation “as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.” Special Counsel Hur found that President Biden’s “memory was significantly limited, both during his recorded interviews with the ghostwriter in 2017, and in his interview with [the Special Counsel’s] office in 2023.” Finally, Special Counsel Hur pointed to DOJ principles of prosecution that weigh in favor of not prosecuting because “there is no record of the Department of Justice prosecuting a former president or vice president for mishandling classified documents from his own administration. The exception is former President Trump.”

However, there are material distinctions that weigh in President Trump’s favor. The documents in President Trump’s case came from his time in the White House—when he possessed the ultimate classification authority. The documents in President Biden’s case span forty years, as far back as the 1970s, and include material from his time in the Senate and the Vice Presidency. At no time did President Biden possess ultimate classification authority. The Justice Department has never prosecuted a former president for maintaining classified information after office—until Special Counsel Jack Smith indicted President Trump.

 

Former Special Counsel Robert Hur told lawmakers in a high-profile hearing Tuesday that President Joe Biden’s public comments about his handling of classified documents contradict the findings in his report. During the Judiciary Committee hearing, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) quoted Biden’s public comments that he did not share classified information. Hur replied that the comments were “inconsistent with the findings based on the evidence in my report.”

Rep. James Comer’s opening statement for the hearing on Special Counsel Robert K. Hur’s report.

“Many questions remain, but now the White House is obstructing Congress as we seek the truth for the American people.

“We’ve subpoenaed former White House Counsel Dana Remus to appear for a deposition to provide information to our committee, but the White House is seeking to block her testimony.

“We also subpoenaed the Department of Justice for the audio recordings and transcript of President Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Hur. These were due the morning of the State of the Union.

“Only this morning—a couple of hours before today’s hearing—the Department of Justice finally provided the transcript of President Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Hur.

“The timing is not coincidental.

“Although we have had little time to review the transcripts, from what we have seen, it is clear why the White House did not want Special Counsel Hur’s final report to be released.

“The White House has refused to be transparent with the American people about the President’s mishandling of classified documents.

“And worse, they have appeared to have lied: about the timeline, about who handled the documents, and even about the contents of President Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Hur.

“That is why today’s hearing is important.

“Transparency is what we seek today. We look forward to Special Counsel Hur’s testimony.”

March 12, 2024 – Biden-Hur transcript offers insight into special counsel’s classified documents report; Biden lied about Beau exchange

A transcript of special counsel Robert Hur’s two-day interview with President Biden offered a detailed view of the exchanges at the heart of Hur’s report on Biden’s handling of classified materials.

A copy of the transcript, obtained by The Hill ahead of Hur’s testimony on Capitol Hill, made clear that Biden occasionally fumbled over details, including when staff interjected to remind him what year his son died, but he was fully engaged and often joked with the special counsel and his staff throughout the interview.

The transcript offers the fullest picture yet of how Biden handled the interview, which later became fodder for Hur’s report in which he described the president as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

At the outset of the interview, Hur acknowledged that some of the questions asked would be related to events that happened “years ago” and that investigators would ask Biden to answer to the best of his recollection.

“I’m a young man, so it’s not a problem,” Biden quipped.

One of the most notable exchanges to come out of Hur’s final report was when the special counsel wrote that Biden struggled to remember key dates and details, including when his son Beau died.

The transcript shows Biden is the one who first raised the death of his son, and while he recounts the date of Beau Biden’s death — May 30 — two aides interject to note it was in 2015.

“And what’s happened in the meantime is that as — and Trump gets elected in November of 2017?” Biden says, according to the transcript, to which two others note it was 2016.

“16, 2016. All right. So — why do I have 2017 here?” Biden asks, at which point his White House counsel notes that’s when Biden left office as vice president.

“Yeah, OK. But that’s when Trump gets sworn in, January. … And in 2017, Beau had passed and — this is personal,” Biden continues.

In a press conference following the release of the report, Biden expressed particular anger over the special counsel saying he did not remember when his son died.

“How in the hell dare he raise that?” Biden said in the February press conference. “Frankly, when I was asked the question I thought to myself, it wasn’t any of their damn business.”

Other exchanges in the report were less contentious. Biden spoke at length about his Corvette. The president joked that the FBI likely knows the layout of his Wilmington, Del., home better than he does. He quipped that he hoped investigators didn’t find any photos of his wife in a bathing suit.

Hur and his team asked numerous questions about how and where Biden consumed classified information and how his team packed up his things at the end of his term as vice president.

On the second day of the interview, which took place Oct. 9, Biden defended his handling of classified documents emphatically and said that he did not keep classified documents.

“The point is I never kept anything when I wasn’t vice president or president that, in fact, was classified document to be used by me for any reason,” Biden said.

Hur noted that Biden “out of the gate” was trying to distinguish between documents with “red color borders” and “small letter classification markings.” Biden replied that his point was that he returned anything that was clearly marked. He discussed with his personal counsel Bob Bauer if there was an instance when some papers with red markings on it were found, but said he didn’t discover that independently.

Biden was asked about a notebook and had to recall dates.

March 13, 2024 – New evidence shows the CIA has turned on the American people

(…) New revelations from text messages have blown the lid off: the CIA was not just observing but actively involved in the chaos of January 6th, and now we know more about what these shadowy government agencies were up to, thanks to a lawsuit by Judicial Watch.

Judicial Watch just got their hands on 88 pages of juicy ATF documents from the DOJ, and guess what they found? The CIA actually had boots on the ground in Washington, DC, on January 6, 2021. How did Judicial Watch snag these records, you may be wondering? Well, no surprise, they had to drag the DOJ to court after a stone-cold silence on a FOIA request about “gunfire” in the Capitol and calls for ATF backup on that day. “These striking records show that CIA resources were deployed in reaction to the January 6 disturbance,” says Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch.

The CIA had “dog teams” on the ground that day.

Washington Examiner:

Newly unearthed communications records show for the first time that the CIA played limited but key roles during the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.

Some 88 pages of documents that Judicial Watch shared with Secrets reveal the spy agency put “several” dog teams on alert near the Capitol and that it assigned “bomb techs” to the House side neighborhood where explosive devices were found at Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters.

The revelations were in heavily redacted documents provided to Judicial Watch, which had sued under the Freedom of Information Act for intelligence communications on Jan. 6, 2021, when pro-Trump supporters went to the Capitol to urge an end to the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory, some violently.

While virtually all federal and city police had some involvement in dispatching the crowds that day, the CIA has remained in the background.

Day by day, it’s becoming clearer: the Capitol was swarming with FEDs from every US intelligence agency. It was an extensive operation, all aimed at entrapping Donald Trump. Both the protesters and Trump himself were set up. But as the old saying goes, the truth has a way of leaking out. (Read more: Revolver News, 3/14/2024) (Archive)

March 13, 2024 – OMG (James O’Keefe) stings Pentagon official: “Pack the Supreme Court,” “ban the US Senate,” “abolish the electoral college,” “take guns away” and “open the border”

BREAKING INSIDE THE PENTAGON: Associate Director in the Office of the Secretary of Defense says, “Why not just have an open border?” “Tear down the wall.”

“I think we should repeal the Second Amendment and take the guns all away!” says Jason Beck, who has a classified security clearance and works for the Department of Defense. Beck, who uses a fake name Aiden Grey in his meetings with a disguised James O’Keefe, describes his extremist policies, including “mobilizing the national guard” to confiscate guns from people’s homes. Beck says he wants a “monopoly on state violence,” a concept he describes as “‘We {the government), are the only ones with guns.”

Jason Beck works in Total Force Requirements & Sourcing Policy in the Office of @SecDef Lloyd Austin. This office oversees the @DeptofDefense and acts as the principal defense policy maker and adviser to the President of the United States. Beck says he helps “writes answers for testimony” of “the department’s senior leadership – basically they go over to the Hill for hearings on the department’s posture.”

In this shocking footage we get an INSIDE look as Jason Beck tells James O’Keefe, “we need to pack the Supreme court,” ban the United States Senate, and abolish the electoral college. He also discusses his “bottom surgery’ being painful and the changes to his plumbing.

March 13, 2024 – The RNC files lawsuit against Michigan SoS Jocelyn Benson for failing to maintain accurate voter rolls

Lara Trump (l) vs Jocelyn Benson (Credit: public domain)

(…) The RNC lawsuit says that Michigan’s mismanagement undermines election integrity and allows ineligible voters to cast ballots. Benson is accused of violating the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).

“Election integrity starts with clean voter rolls, and that’s why the National Voter Registration Act requires state officials to keep their rolls accurate and up-to-date,” new RNC Chairman Michael Whatley said. “Jocelyn Benson has failed to follow the NVRA, leaving Michigan with inflated and inaccurate voter rolls ahead of the 2024 election.”

According to the lawsuit, at least 53 counties in Michigan have more active registered voters than adult citizens over the age of 18. According to the RNC, the number of counties with registration rates above 100% ballooned after 2020, when only one county had that rate.

The suit also said that 23 counties have voter-registration rates of over 90% of eligible adults registered, which is far above the average national and statewide rate.

The suit says, “The RNC and its members are concerned that Defendants’ failure to comply with the NVRA’s voter-list maintenance obligations undermines the integrity of elections by increasing the opportunity for ineligible voters or voters intent on fraud to cast ballots.”

Filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan, the suit says that the registration rates were calculated using Census Bureau data. It was filed days after new leadership, backed by former President Donald Trump, took the reins at the RNC. (Read more: The Daily Wire, 3/13/2024)  (Archive)

March 13, 2024 – Judicial Watch sues Fani Willis for communications with Special Counsel Jack Smith, Pelosi January 6 Committee

Judicial Watch announced today it filed a Georgia Open Records Act lawsuit against District Attorney Fani Willis and Fulton County, Georgia, for records of any communication Willis and the county had with Special Counsel Jack Smith and the House January 6 Committee (Judicial Watch Inc. v. Fani Willis et al. (No. 24-CV-002805)).

The lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of Fulton County, GA after Willis and the County denied having any records responsive to an August 2023 Georgia Open Records Act request for:

All documents and communication sent to, received from, or relating to Special Counsel Jack Smith or any employees in his office.

All documents and communication sent to or received from the United States House January 6th Committee or any of its employees.

Judicial Watch states in the lawsuit that Willis’ and the County’s “representation about not having records responsive to the request is likely false.” Judicial Watch refers to a December 5, 2023, letter from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan to Willis that cites a December 2021, letter from Willis to then-House January 6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson. In that letter Willis requested assistance from the committee and offered to travel to DC. Jordan writes:

Specifically, you asked Rep. Thompson for access to “record [sic] includ[ing] but . . . not limited to recordings and transcripts of witness interviews and depositions, electronic and print records of communications, and records of travel.” You even offered that you and your staff were eager to travel to Washington, D.C, to “meet with investigators in person” and to receive these records “any time” between January 31, 2022, and February 25, 2022.

Judicial Watch argues in its complaint: “Willis’s letter to [former] Chairman Thompson is plainly responsive to the request, yet it was neither produced to Plaintiff in response to the request nor claimed to be subject to exemption from production under the Open Records Act.”

Judicial Watch also cites recent news reports and other records which “indicate that representatives of Willis’s office traveled to Washington, DC, and met with January 6 Select Committee staffers in April, May, and November 2022, as Willis proposed in her December 17, 2021 letter …”

Judicial Watch states that a January 2024, Politico report titled “Jan. 6 committee helped guide days of Georgia Trump probe” and a January 2024, letter from the House Judiciary Committee to Fulton County Special Prosecutor Nathan J. Wade are examples that “Such meetings plainly had to be coordinated and likely generated communications if not other records about or memorializing these meetings.”

Any such records would be responsive to Judicial Watch’s request, the lawsuit states.

“Fani Willis and Fulton County seem to have provided false information about having no records of communications with Jack Smith and the Pelosi January 6 committee,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

On January 30, 2024, Judicial Watch announced it filed a lawsuit against Fulton County for records regarding the hiring of Wade as a special prosecutor by Willis. Wade was hired to pursue unprecedented criminal investigations and prosecutions against former President Trump and others over the 2020 election disputes.

In October 2023, Judicial Watch sued the DOJ for records and communications between the Office of U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith and the Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney’s office regarding requests/receipt of federal funding/assistance in the investigation of former President Trump and his 18 codefendants in the Fulton County indictment of August 14, 2023. To date, the DOJ is refusing to confirm or deny the existence of records, claiming that to do so would interfere with enforcement proceedings. Judicial Watch’s litigation challenging this is continuing. (Judicial Watch, 3/13/2024)  (Archive)

March 13, 2024 – Georgia judge Scott McAfee dismisses 6 charges in Fani Willis indictment

Judge Scott McAfee (Credit: CNN)

(…) On Wednesday Judge McAfee quashed 6 counts in Fani Willis’ indictment – including 3 counts against President Trump.

According to the ruling:

  • Count Two alleges that multiple Defendants solicited elected members of the Georgia Senate to violate their oaths of office on December 3, 2020, by requesting or importuning them to unlawfully appoint presidential electors;
  • Count Five alleges that Defendant Trump solicited the Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives to violate his oath of office on December 7, 2020, by requesting or importuning him to call a special session to unlawfully appoint presidential electors;
  • Count Six alleges that Defendants Smith and Giuliani solicited members of the Georgia House of Representatives to violate their oaths of office on December 10, 2020, by requesting or importuning them to unlawfully appoint presidential electors;
  • Count 23 alleges that multiple Defendants solicited elected members of the Georgia Senate to violate their oaths of office on December 30, 2020, by requesting or importuning them to unlawfully appoint presidential electors;
  • Count 28 alleges that Defendants Trump and Meadows solicited the Georgia Secretary of State to violate his oath of office on January 2, 2021, by requesting or importuning him to unlawfully influence the certified election returns; and
  • Count 38 alleges that Defendant Trump solicited the Georgia Secretary of State to violate his oath of office on September 17, 2021, by requesting or importuning him to unlawfully decertify the election.

The judge in his ruling left the door open to a superseding indictment, however, this move still may not get Fani Willis her pre-election conviction since the defense is allowed discovery and time to respond to any new charges.

Techno Fog offers more legalese:

(…) Judge McAfee quashed these counts through a “special demurrer.” Before we get to his reasoning and the effects of quashing these counts, its important to discuss the relevant aspects of the law.

Georgia law requires an indictment provide sufficient factual allegations to enable a defendant “to prepare for trial.”¹[1] “An indictment is subject to a special demurrer if it is not perfect in form or if the accused is entitled to more information.”²[2] For example, special demurrers have been upheld by the Georgia Court of Appeals where the accusations in a criminal case “did not track the language of the statute”³[3] or where the indictment was “generic” and did not inform a defendant “of the facts constituting the offence alleged against him.”⁴[4]

The counts quashed by Judge McAfee all relation to various alleged efforts to solicit public officials to violate their oath of office. It was alleged in the indictment that the Defendants solicited Georgia officials “to violate their oaths of the Georgia Constitution and the United States Constitution.” Judge McAfee rightly observed that “the incorporation of the United States and Georgia Constitutions is so generic as to compel this Court to grant the special demurrers.” He reasoned that these oaths contain “hundreds of clauses” and are interpreted by scholars “to contain dramatically different meanings.”

Judge McAfee also took issue with the failure of detail regarding these counts:

“As written, these six counts contain all the essential elements of the crimes but fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission, i.e., the underlying felony solicited. They do not give the Defendants enough information to prepare their defenses intelligently, as the Defendants could have violated the Constitutions and thus the statute in dozens, if not hundreds, of distinct ways. Under the standards articulated by our appellate courts, the special demurrer must be granted, and Counts 2, 5, 6, 23, 28, and 38 quashed.”⁵[5]

What does this mean going forward? A couple things.

First, this does not dismiss the entire indictment. All other charges against the remaining Defendants are still operative, including the RICO charges.

Second, these counts aren’t dismissed with prejudice. The State may seek a reindictment which would supplement these six counts. Theoretically, the reindictment would fix the problems observed by Judge McAfee by providing more details concerning the parts of the oaths of office the Defendants asked Georgia officials to violate, and by specifying the underlying felony being solicited. In the alternative, the State may appeal Judge McAfee’s ruling. We find it more likely that the State re-indicts. (Techno Fog/Substack, 3/13/2024)

 

March 14, 2024 – A British Member of Parliament calls for the death penalty given to Microsoft’s Bill Gates and the “Covid Cabal”

(…) Taking his concerns beyond parliamentary discussions, Bridgen has reached out to the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Mark Rowley. He aims to organize a three-hour meeting where experts and whistleblowers will present evidence to demonstrate criminal activities conducted by senior members of the UK government and civil service during the pandemic.

In an alarming revelation, Bridgen disclosed that a senior cabinet minister shared details of a plan to use what he referred to as “turbo cancer” to depopulate the world. According to Bridgen, this revelation unfolded in the tea room at Westminster Houses of Parliament. The unnamed minister allegedly conveyed that Bridgen would be “dead of cancer soon” due to being misled into taking the vaccine during the pandemic.

Despite the shocking nature of these claims, Bridgen has been a vocal opponent of globalist authoritarianism in the UK. He has consistently opposed Covid vaccine mandates, lockdowns, and mask mandates. His recent warning about a potential surge in cancer deaths linked to mRNA vaccines coincides with reports of Pfizer employees blowing the whistle on what they term a “scam.” (Read more: TogetherInTruth, 3/14/2024)  (Archive)

March 14, 2024 – Judge Cannon is considering dismissing charges against Trump due to arbitrary enforcement and selective prosecution

Full Text:

NEW: From FLA courthouse in Trump’s classified documents case with a prediction.

Robert Hur report and testimony is the biggest elephant in the room. The term “arbitrary enforcement” used frequently by both the defense and Judge Aileen Cannon.

Cannon hammered the fact no former president or vice president has been charged under Espionage Act for taking and keeping classified records including national defense information–which represents 32 counts against Trump in Jack Smith’s indictment.

Prediction: Cannon won’t dismiss the case based on the motions debated today–vagueness of Espionage Act and protection under the Presidential Records Act.

But it’s very likely she will dismiss the case based on selective prosecution, a motion still pending before her.

Full Text:

Jay Bratt, representing special counsel office, confirmed the “crime” began that day because as a former president, he was entitled to retain the documents.

Cannon again asked for historical precedent as to when a former president or vice president faced charges for similar conduct. Bratt of course said there is none.

She added “vice president” on numerous occasions for a reason–Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Mike Pence all skated on criminal charges. Trump is the only one who has not.

Cannon: “Arbitrary enforcement…is featuring in this case.”

Cannon also addressed the “foreseeability” as to Trump’s awareness he was committing a crime by keeping classified/national defense information.

“Given the constellation of what happened before”–meaning no criminal prosecution of former presidents including Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan and vice presidents–Cannon suggested Trump could have reasonably expected he was in the clear.

Also of interest: Jay Bratt claiming there is no official process for a president to obtain or keep a security clearance. His argument is Trump’s clearance automatically expired at the end of this term–which contradicts how former government officials maintained clearances long after their service ended.

Trump’s elimination of John Brennan’s clearance was raised.

But there is a problem. The Dept. of Energy, learning of Smith’s indictment against Trump in the summer of 2023, retroactively revoked Trump’s “Q” security clearance.

Bratt says the government has emails and a draft memo to revoke Trump’s clearance.

Cannon’s counterargument is–but if there is no formal process for authorizing or removing a president’s security clearance–why did DOE need to memorialize it post-indictment.

Bratt didn’t really have an answer.

March 15, 2024 – Fiona Hill and other Russia hawks cry Trump/Russia collusion again

The same players from “RussiaGate” — the failed deep state hoax to frame Trump for colluding with Russia to win in 2016 — are pushing the narrative, with some help from Never Trump allies who made their way into in the Trump administration.

One of them, Fiona Hill, a Russia hawk who was reportedly recruited into the Trump administration by K.T. McFarland and Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Michael Flynn, has been making the rounds in the media warning about Trump as the public face for those disgruntled former intelligence officials.

“He wants to weaponize the intelligence community. And the fact is you need to look with a 360 degree perspective. He can’t just cherry pick what he wants to hear when there are so many U.S. adversaries and countries that don’t wish the U.S. well,” Hill told Politico recently. “If he guts the intel on one thing, he’ll be partially blinding us.”

Hill had also just appeared on CBS News Sunday, where she said: “Former President Trump has made it very clear that he admires Vladimir Putin.”

Hill also had shady ties to characters involved in the debunked Steele dossier, which was the centerpiece of the Russia collusion hoax. Hill, a former National Intelligence Council analyst and a current senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, had worked closely with Igor Danchenko, an analyst at Brookings, and introduced him to the dossier author Christopher Steele. Danchenko would become the primary researcher for the dossier, which was later found out by then-House intelligence investigator Kash Patel to be surreptitiously funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC. Hill would also allegedly introduce Danchenko to Charles Dolan Jr. — a Democrat operative who served as a “source” for Danchenko. Danchenko would later be indicted for lying to the FBI.

Along with figures like Hill, Democrats in Congress with deep ties to the intelligence community are also pushing the narrative.


Anonymous intelligence community officials have also increasingly appeared in media pieces criticizing Trump.

One example is the aforementioned Politico piece, which cited anonymous current and former intelligence officials.

Another example is a February 25 New York Times piece citing CIA anonymous officials on the deep cooperation between the CIA and Ukraine, questioning whether Republicans would “abandon” Ukraine.

Some former CIA officials are penning pieces themselves. Rob Dannenberg, former chief of operations for CIA’s Counterterrorism Center, wrote an open letter to House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) encouraging him to bring up Ukraine aid for a vote.

Former CIA official Marc Polymeropoulos, who worked with former Deputy CIA Director Mike Morell to write the letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation, recently amplified a piece warning about Trump soon being given intelligence briefings as the Republican presidential nominee.

Nathan Wade, the lead prosecutor on the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump, has resigned.

Wade bowed out from the case a few hours after Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee issued a scathing ruling that demanded either he or district attorney Fani Willis had to go after their romance complicated the case.

“I am proud of the work our team has accomplished in investigating, indicting, and litigating this case,” Wade wrote in his resignation letter to Willis.

“Seeking justice for the people of Georgia and the United States, and being part of the effort to ensure that the rule of law and democracy are preserved, has been the honor of a lifetime,” he added.

Trump reacted on Truth Social, writing: “Fani Willis lover, Mr. Nathan Wade Esq., has just resigned in disgrace.”

He then claimed the case had been set up by Joe Biden and his “Department of Injustice” to persecute him for “Election Interference and living the life of the Rich & Famous.”

Willis accepted Wade’s resignation, and heaped praise on him in her own statement, saying she will always remember how he was “brave enough to step forward and take on” the election interference case.  (Read more: The New York Post, 3/15/2024)  (Archive)

March 15, 2024 – Judge Scott McAfee rules either Willis or Wade has to withdraw from Trump case

Full Text:

BREAKING NEWS: Judge Scott McAfee has GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART the motion to disqualify Fulton County DA Fani Willis.

Bottom line: either Willis steps aside, along with her entire office OR Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade withdraws. A decision must be made, per McAfee.

The Court found that there was NO evidence of an actual conflict of interest. However, he did find that the “prosecution is encumbered by an appearance of impropriety.” And “as long as Wade remains on the case, this unnecessary perception will persist.”

The Court “finds itself unable to place any stock” in the testimony of Terrence Bradley. McAfee also said Robin Yeartie’s testimony “lacked context and detail.” And he considered the Wade cellphone info but said it didn’t say conclusively when the relationship started.

The Court also denied the motions to dismiss the indictment.

The Court ruled that there was “no material financial benefit” derived by Willis in hiring and engaging in a personal relationship with Wade.

Steve Sadow, the lawyer, said counsel respects Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee’s decision but thinks the judge did not fully take into account all the details in the case.

“We believe that the Court did not afford appropriate significance to the prosecutorial misconduct of Willis and Wade, including the financial benefits, testifying untruthfully about when their personal relationship began, as well as Willis’ extrajudicial MLK ‘church speech,’ where she played the race card and falsely accused the defendants and their counsel of racism,” Mr. Sadow said.

“We will use all legal options available as we continue to fight to end this case, which should never have been brought in the first place,” he added.

Judge McAfee ruled on Friday that either Ms. Willis or Mr. Wade must step down because of their personal relationship and unanswered questions about a possible financial benefit to Ms. Willis from hiring Mr. Wade as the special prosecutor resulted in the appearance of impropriety.

“Even if the romantic relationship began after SADA Wade’s initial contract in November 2021, the district attorney chose to continue supervising and paying Wade while maintaining such a relationship,” he said. “She further allowed the regular and loose exchange of money between them without any exact or verifiable measure of reconciliation. This lack of a confirmed financial split creates the possibility and appearance that the District Attorney benefited—albeit non-materially—from a contract whose award lay solely within her purview and policing.” (Read more: The Epoch Times, 3/15/2024)  (Archive)

March 17, 2024 – Corporate media gaslights the public and twists Trump’s use of the word “bloodbath”; Examples of the media using “bloodbath” often in their news reports

For your perusal, here’s a ton of leftists using the term #bloodbath on various news programs over the years.

All of this was apparently okay, yet Donald Trump using the term at one speech to discuss the auto industry has caused everyone to lose their minds.

Think about how the mainstream media is attempting to influence your opinion – be fearful that they aren’t even attempting to hide it anymore.

March 18, 2024 – Michigan lawyer Stefanie Lambert is arrested for submitting “evidence of numerous crimes” including internal emails from Dominion Voting Systems to law enforcement

Michigan attorney Stefanie Lambert Junttila was arrested in Washington, D.C., on Monday following a court hearing after she gave the “evidence of numerous crimes” to law enforcement containing internal emails from Dominion Voting Systems, AP reported.

Lambert attended a court hearing in Washington, D.C., for a defamation case involving Patrick Byrne, whom she represents. Byrne, the former CEO of Overstock, is being sued by Dominion Voting Systems over his claims of election fraud.

Lambert’s arrest occurred after it was revealed that she had leaked confidential documents from Dominion to Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf, who has been actively investigating claims of voter fraud from the 2020 election, according to CNN.

The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf has made a bold move by sending a letter to U.S. Representative Jim Jordan, urging a congressional investigation into what he claims as evidence of “foreign interference” in the 2020 election.

Sheriff Leaf alleges that electronic voting machines were accessed by foreign nationals across the United States, including Michigan, to manipulate election results.

As Lambert’s hearing concluded, the judge requested her to remain behind while the other attorneys exited. Federal marshals entered the courtroom afterward, and Lambert was not seen leaving. The U.S. Marshals Service later confirmed Lambert’s arrest, linking it to her failure to appear in court for her separate Michigan criminal case, according to CNN.

During the hearing, Lambert admitted to passing the Dominion materials to Sheriff Leaf, asserting that she was reporting a crime to law enforcement. She has been vocal about her claims, suggesting that foreign nationals interfered with the election.

Lambert’s stance has been made clear through her social media, where she has stated, “I gave the evidence to law enforcement. The discovery (file from Dominion) contained evidence of numerous crimes. The Constitution does not permit secret Serbians to run our elections. Local clerks are to run our elections, & transparency is prevented by vendors (Dominion).”

Dominion’s legal team has suggested that Lambert’s actions might constitute a criminal offense and has requested her removal from the case. A future hearing is set to determine whether Lambert violated a court order by leaking the documents. Additionally, the court has summoned Byrne to appear and respond to questions about the incident.

A non-profit team of hundreds of volunteers investigating election integrity in Michigan, Election Integrity Force, released the following statement:

In a troubling attack on the pillars of the American republic, Stefanie Lambert, a dedicated attorney championing electoral transparency, was arrested today in Washington, D.C.

This incident comes on the heels of Ms. Lambert’s pivotal role in shedding light on the operations of Dominion Voting Systems, especially following a recent flood of confidential internal documents from Dominion that were made public earlier today. These documents, accessible at Election Integrity Force, provide damning evidence of misconduct and have stirred significant public concern over the integrity of the 2020 election outcomes.

Stefanie Lambert, renowned for her diligent pursuit of truth and accountability in our electoral system, found herself targeted by law enforcement as she attended a critical hearing at the United States District Court. Her arrest raises grave concerns about due process and the constitutional rights of those who seek to expose corruption and advocate for electoral integrity.

The leaked documents from Dominion Voting Systems reveal startling admissions by company officials, including the unlawful involvement of foreign nationals in the U.S. election infrastructure. Lambert’s arrest, under these circumstances, appears to be a calculated effort to intimidate and silence a prominent voice in the movement for electoral reform.

The significance of today’s events extends beyond Ms. Lambert’s personal legal battle. It represents a chilling threat to free speech, the right to legal defense, and the broader principles that underpin our republic. When attorneys, who play a critical role in upholding justice and transparency, are persecuted for their advocacy, it undermines public confidence in our institutions and erodes the foundation of our republic.

Despite the adversity she faces, Ms. Lambert remains resolute in her belief that the pursuit of justice and the unveiling of truth are paramount. Her case has mobilized a diverse coalition of individuals committed to protecting the integrity of our elections and holding those in power accountable.
This arrest should serve as a wake-up call to all Americans, regardless of political affiliation. The actions taken against Stefanie Lambert are not merely an attack on one individual but a direct challenge to the values that define our republic. It underscores the urgency of remaining vigilant and proactive in defending our democratic institutions from manipulation and abuse.

We stand in unwavering support of Stefanie Lambert and the principles she represents. It is our collective duty to ensure that justice prevails and that the quest for truth and integrity in our electoral process is not silenced by those who fear its consequences.

March 18, 2024 – Mar-a-Lago Judge Aileen Cannon gives Jack Smith an ultimatum

(Credit: Discern Report)

(…) Special Counsel Jack Smith now faces a dilemma. He must decide whether to allow jurors to examine the classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago or give them instructions that would likely lead to Trump’s acquittal. Smith could appeal to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, but that would delay the trial even further.

Trump, along with two of his associates, have been indicted on 39 felony counts for hoarding classified documents without authorization and attempting to cover it up. Trump argues that these documents were his “personal” files and therefore he had the right to keep them. He also claims that the country’s national security laws are “too vague” to be used against him.

While some saw Cannon’s decision last Thursday to not dismiss the case as a victory for Smith, it was more of a strategic move to set up her ultimatum on Monday. Now, prosecutors must decide whether to show jurors the classified records or inform them that a president has the sole authority to categorize records as personal or presidential during their term.

The first option would require Smith to allow any potential jurors in this rural Florida area to suddenly have access to these sensitive national secrets. The second option would essentially force jurors to acquit Trump, as they would be told he had the power to claim personal ownership over any government document within his reach.

In her two-page ruling, Cannon proposed a new version of the law without a lengthy judicial order to back it up. This proposed jury instruction would state: “A president has sole authority under the [Presidential Records Act] to categorize records as personal or presidential during his/her presidency. Neither a court nor a jury is permitted to make or review such a categorization decision.”

Cannon argues that the Presidential Records Act is unclear about how to allow a president to make this kind of determination, even though the law was passed in 1978 to ensure that White House records are considered government property and overseen by responsible historians and librarians at the National Archives.

March 18, 2024 – Media Research Center: Google interfered in 41 U.S. elections over 16 years

A new study by the Media Research Center alleges that Google has repeatedly interfered in U.S. elections, favoring leftist candidates and suppressing conservative voices.

Google, the ultra-woke tech giant that dominates online search and advertising, has been accused of a staggering pattern of election interference spanning over 16 years and 41 separate instances, according to a bombshell report from the Media Research Center (MRC). The study, conducted by MRC’s Free Speech America division, levels severe allegations against the Silicon Valley giant, claiming it has systematically utilized its immense technological prowess to sway electoral outcomes in favor of left-leaning candidates.

“MRC researchers have found 41 times where Google interfered in elections over the last 16 years, and its impact has surged dramatically, making it evermore harmful to democracy. In every case, Google harmed the candidates – regardless of party – who threatened its left-wing candidate of choice,” asserted Dan Schneider, vice president of MRC Free Speech America, and Gabriela Pariseau, the division’s editor.

The study cites a litany of apparent infractions, ranging from algorithmic manipulation to outright censorship. Among the most egregious claims are allegations that Google favored Barack Obama over his Republican rivals John McCain in 2008 and Mitt Romney in 2012, refused to rectify a derogatory “Google bomb” smearing Rick Santorum during the 2012 GOP primaries, and excluded potentially damaging autofill results for Hillary Clinton in 2016 while not extending the same courtesy to Donald Trump or Bernie Sanders.

Moreover, the researchers assert that Google disabled Tulsi Gabbard’s ad account during the 2020 Democratic debates, suppressed negative coverage of Joe Biden, concealed most Republican campaign websites in 2022’s competitive Senate races, and is actively aiding Biden’s 2024 campaign by “burying in its search results the campaign websites of every one of his significant opponents.”

The authors of the study allege that this pattern of misconduct extends far beyond mere isolated incidents. “Utilizing the many tools in its arsenal, Google aided those who most closely aligned with its leftist values from election cycle to election cycle since as far back as the 2008 presidential election. Meanwhile, it targeted for censorship those candidates who posed the most serious threat,” they wrote, accusing the company of making election interference “an organizational mission.”

Supporting these claims, the study cites research from Dr. Robert Epstein, who concluded that Google’s algorithm likely shifted at least 2.6 million votes toward Hillary Clinton in 2016, while its “results and get-out-the-vote reminders favored Democrats and shifted the 2020 election results by at least 6 million votes.” (Read more: Breitbart, 3/18/2024)  (Archive)

March 19, 2024 – Biden’s Justice Department imprisons Trump Trade Advisor Peter Navarro

Full Text:

NEW: Biden’s Justice Department shatters historical precedent imprisoning Trump Trade Advisor Peter Navarro for contempt of Congress, destroying a 250-year tradition of honoring executive privilege.

Obama’s DOJ didn’t prosecute Eric Holder and Lois Lerner following contempt referrals after they invoked executive privilege.

Bush’s DOJ didn’t prosecute Josh Bolten and Harriet Miers following contempt referrals after they invoked executive privilege.

The Justice Department hasn’t prosecuted executive officials who were instructed by the president to invoke executive privilege until now.

The last time anyone was sentenced for contempt of Congress was in 1948.

Navarro, a Harvard-educated economist known for his efforts to restore American manufacturing, will serve four months in prison.

He will turn 75 in July behind bars as a martyr of the regime.

NAVARRO: “When I walk into that prison today, the justice system will have done a crippling blow to the constitution’s separation of judicial powers and executive privilege.”

March 20, 2024 – House Oversight Committee hearing on Biden influence peddling including highlights

Full Committee on Oversight and Accountability holds hearing: “Influence Peddling: Examining Joe Biden’s Abuse of Public Office.”

Some of the hearing’s highlights:

Tony Bobulinsiki, Hunter Biden’s former business partner, delivers his opening statement to the House Oversight Committee.

Full Text:

Today, Tony Bobulinski, the original whistleblower, was under oath for the first time in public and he left the Democrats rattled. Bobulinski met with Joe Biden twice and confirmed he was the Big Guy, who called the shots. Joe Biden was for sale. And it turns out the Biden family was brokering Russian Chinese energy deals right under the FBI’s noses. There were cars, cash, diamonds, expensive scotch, aliases, burner phones, donors paying the Biden family’s taxes, suspicious activity reports and bribes. But Democrats are having a hard time facing the facts.

March 20, 2024 – Government documents confirm the Biden administration’s mobilization of U.S. counterterrorism assets to support Imran Ahmed’s global censorship campaign

To justify censorship, Biden’s strategy asserted that “Internet-based communications platforms” make Americans “vulnerab[le] to domestic terrorist recruitment and other harmful content.” Effectively, the Biden Administration turned to the national security state and its allied technology companies to censor political opponents. In Orwellian fashion, it said: “All told, a better, more holistic, and coordinated understanding of and information sharing on today’s threat will allow a more effective and comprehensive response. That response will address not just current and imminent incarnations of the domestic terrorism threat but also its contributing factors before they can generate still more violence in the future.”

Biden Endorses the “Christchurch Call to Action”

As the Biden Strategy explained, as part of its effort to control information, “We will also build a community” of “critical partners,” including “state, local, tribal, and territorial governments, as well as foreign allies and partners, civil society, the technology sector, academia, and more.” These “interlocking communities that can contribute information, expertise, analysis, and more” and “With the right orientation and partnerships, the Federal Government can energize, connect, and empower those communities – communities whose input was critical to the formulation of this Strategy itself.”

Accordingly, it declared that “in a global, multi-stakeholder setting … with partner governments … the United States endorses the Christchurch Call to Action to Eliminate Terrorist and Violent Extremist Content Online.”

In 2019, the Trump Administration had refused this “call to action” on free speech grounds. In fact, on the same day that the Trump Administration announced that it was passing on this international initiative censorship initiative, it reportedly released an online tool for users to report if they suspect they’ve been the subject of “political bias” by Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, or other online platforms

Biden Supports CCDH

Biden’s government claimed that “Maximizing the Federal Government’s understanding of [domestic terrorism] means supporting and making appropriate use of the analysis performed by entities outside the government….” CCDH was one such entity.

CCDH is a United Kingdom-based nonprofit that has been encouraging censorship online for years. It originates from and is staffed with many individuals in the United Kingdom. However, it has been incorporated in the United States and registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the United States, effective December 11, 2020.

CCDH describes itself as a “not-for-profit non-governmental organization” that “works to stop the spread of online hate and disinformation through innovative research, public campaigns and policy advocacy.” It describes its founder and CEO, Imran Ahmed, as an “authority on social and psychological malignancies on social media, such as identity-based hate, extremism, disinformation, and conspiracy theories.” However, Ahmed is a leftist political operative connected to the UK Labour Party. Through his work with Stop Funding Fake News (SFFN), which was later folded into CCDH, Imran Ahmed took credit for a so-called “defund racism” campaign associated with Black Lives Matter to force Google to remove their ads from The Federalist and ZeroHedge.

CCDH is best known for its March 24, 2021 report, THE DISINFORMATION DOZEN: Why platforms must act on twelve leading online anti-vaxxers, which branded twelve Americans, including Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., “anti-vaxxers … responsible for almost two-thirds of anti‑vaccine content circulating on social media platforms,” and called for them to be deplatformed.

As the Missouri v. Biden case revealed, Biden White House officials quickly pressured social media companies to deplatform and demote “the disinfo dozen.” On July 15, 2021, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki admitted to “flagging problematic posts for Facebook.” Presumably citing CCDH’s report, Psaki also implied that the “12 people who are producing 65 percent of anti-vaccine misinformation [should not] remain active on Facebook.”

On or around March 29, 2022, Robert Silvers — the DHS Under Secretary for Strategy, Policy, and Plans who co-chaired the short-lived Disinformation Governance Board with Nina Jankowicz — connected with CCDH’s then-Head of Policy, Eva Hartshorn-Sanders, via LinkedIn. On March 29, 2022, Eva Hartshorn-Sanders emailed Robert Silvers “to meet to discuss research that [CCDH] released and coming up in the next couple of weeks, and … to hear about work that [DHS] ha[s] underway, including more about the strategies and plans that [the DHS] team have developed.” Eva also invited Robert to CCDH’s Global Summit and Changemakers Dinner.

In addition to her lead policy role at CCDH, Eva Hartshorn-Sanders separately provides “[l]eading Government advice on the response to the March 15 terrorist attacks on Christchurch mosques.”

Eva Hartshorn-Sanders promoted online censorship legislation around the world, including the UK’s Online Safety Bill, testifying before the House of Commons that “websites like The Gateway Pundit profit from Google ads to the tune of over $1 million while spreading election disinformation. That has led to real-world death threats sent to election officials and contributed to the events of 6 January. It is not something we want to see replicated in the UK.” Eva Hartshorn-Sanders also opposed a principle “that is framed negatively about preventing platforms from removing content, rather than positively about addressing content that undermines elections.”

Robert Silvers quickly replied, “I am copying our Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism, Lucian Sikorskyj, to follow up and pursue these opportunities.”

The next day, on March 30, 2022, Eva Hartshorn-Sanders also invited the DHS Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism to CCDH’s Global Summit and Changemakers Dinner, and they began scheduling for a call “in the next few weeks.”

By June 16, 2022, a White House Task Force to Address Online Harassment and Abuse was established under the leadership of the Director of the White House Gender Policy Council and the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs.

By September 23, 2022, CCDH was directly meeting with officials from the White House, the NSC, and the Department of State’s Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT), updating them with CCDH’s latest findings.

On September 30, 2022, CCDH formally submitted its research and policy recommendations on technology-facilitated gender-based violence to the White House Task Force. Its submission highlighted how CCDH “studied the way anti-vaccine extremists, hate actors, climate change deniers, and misogynists weaponize platforms to spread lies and attack marginalized groups,” and developed policy and legislation to “ensure that social media platforms meet [CCDH’s framework] for addressing digital hate and disinformation, embedding Safety by Design, Transparency requirements (on algorithms, rules enforcement and economics), Accountability and Responsibility.”

On March 3, 2023, the White House published its Initial Blueprint for the White House Task Force to Address Online Harassment and Abuse. The Blueprint highlighted federal research funding, “Digital Equity” grants, Department of Education guidance to be issued to colleges, and an FTC enforcement action against a gaming platform. According to Eva Hartshorn-Sanders, CCDH was “able to feed in research and policy recommendations for its development.”

Statement from Gene Hamilton, America First Legal Executive Director: 

“These documents demonstrate, yet again, the Biden Administration’s drive to censor its political opponents. In the name of fighting “domestic terrorism,” it eagerly partnered with foreign leftists to silence American citizens who questioned or challenged the government’s irrational vaccine mandates and who dared to discuss the possibility of fraud during the 2020 election. The Biden Administration’s National Security Strategy was a fraud, and its program of censorship an indefensible disgrace.” said Gene Hamilton.

March 20, 2024 – The former deputy director of the Milwaukee Election Commission was found guilty of misconduct in public office and voter fraud

The former deputy director of the Milwaukee Election Commission was found guilty of one count of misconduct in public office and three counts of voter fraud at the conclusion of her jury trial on Wednesday.

Kimberly Zapata, 47, will be sentenced on May 2 at a hearing before Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Kori Ashley, who also presided over her trial.

Zapata pleaded not guilty to all the charges she faced. Combining all potential penalties for all the charges, she now faces a maximum of five years in prison and more than $10,000 in fines at sentencing.

(…) Prosecutors successfully argued that Zapata used fake voter information to request three military absentee ballots through the Wisconsin Elections Commission’s online portal on Oct. 25, 2022 — just ahead of that year’s midterm elections — and send them to a Republican lawmaker who embraced election conspiracy theories.

Adams painted Zapata as an apolitical whistleblower highlighting real issues with election administration, divorced from conspiracy theories. He said she was under extreme stress at the time, in part because her office was inundated with such theories and threats of harm or death against election officials.

Adams used his closing arguments to try to convince the jury that there was an “incredible mismatch” between what prosecutors believe and the actual facts in the case.

(…) She admitted to her actions — including to her boss, Milwaukee Election Commission Director Claire Woodall-Vogg — shortly after the fact, but claims she requested the ballots only to expose a loophole in the absentee voting system.

Westphal swatted down the notion that the defendant was a legitimate whistleblower who gained and shared information.

“She is not exposing the information; she is committing election fraud … that’s not blowing the whistle on the problem, that’s aggravating the problem,” the prosecutor said.

Far from alleviating the mis- and-disinformation, stress and anxiety in her office, Zapata added “to the anxiety and stress in this office by creating this false narrative that people are doing this,” Westphal said. (Read more: Courthouse News, 3/20/2024)  (Archive)

Sentencing hearing on May 2, 2024:

March 20, 2024 – With the obstruction count pending with SCOTUS, DC US Atty Matthew Graves threatens to ask for more time added if the J6 convicted seek a reduced sentence

 

Jack Posobiec spoke with investigative journalist Julie Kelly about why the wife of the US attorney for Washington, DC, Matthew Graves, has had an “all-access” pass to the White House, despite President Joe Biden insisting that the White House and Justice Department are completely separate entitites. Graves refused to allow Hunter Biden to be prosecuted in his district, according to IRS whistleblower Gary Shapely.

“Every time we hear from Joe Biden that the Department of Justice is completely independent of the White House,” Posobiec said. “There’s no collusion … He doesn’t even know where the Department of Justice is. He doesn’t even remember who the attorney general is, which honestly might be true, but probably for other reasons.”

July 2023 – Posobiec asked Kelly why the wife of the DC attorney would have such access to the White House.

Fatima Goss Graves (Credit: TG Time)

Kelly stated that Fatima Goss Graves, the US attorney’s wife, also the CEO “and president of a very well-funded, 100-million-dollar nonprofit called the National Women’s Law Center,” had visited the White House “28 times since Joe Biden was elected or became president. Her invitation to the White House increased exponentially … after her husband, Matthew Graves, was confirmed by the Senate in November 2021.”

“She has attended high-level events with the President, with Dr. Jill, with Kamala Harris. She has met, at least on three occasions, with one of Kamala Harris’s top advisors.”

“So I pose those questions in my piece on my Substack, and suggest that House Republicans now want to talk to Matt Graves, after the IRS whistleblower said that he declined to the client to prosecute Hunter Biden for tax crimes committed in 2014 and 2015 in Washington DC.

March 20, 2024 – Judge Scott McAfee announces Trump and his co-defendants can appeal the Fani Willis disqualification decision

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee on Wednesday announced President Trump and his co-defendants can appeal the Fani Willis disqualification decision.

(…)  The Georgia Court of Appeals has 45 days to decide on any appeal to the judge’s disqualification order.

Trump’s lawyer Steve Sadow called this decision by Judge McAfee “highly significant.”

“The defense is optimistic that appellate review will lead to the case being dismissed and the DA being disqualified,” Sadow said, according to Fox News.

Fox News reported:

A Georgia judge presiding over the 2020 election interference case against former President Trump announced Wednesday that Trump and his co-defendants can appeal the order that denied the disqualification of embattled DA Fani Wills.

Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee on Wednesday issued a certificate of immediate review, allowing Trump and eight co-defendants to seek an appeal of the order.

The defense now has 10 days to submit an application to the Georgia Court of Appeals, which will have 45 days to decide whether they will hear the case from March 15, when the order was issued. Under Georgia law, the Georgia Court of Appeals is not required to hear the case.

“Upon review of the Defendants’ joint motion for a Certificate of Immediate Review, the Court finds that the Order on the Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss and Disqualify the Fulton County District Attorney issued March 15, 2024, ‘is of such importance to the case that immediate review should be had,’” McAfee said.

March 21, 2024 – FDA loses war on Ivermectin and agrees to remove all related social media content and consumer advisories on Ivermectin usage for Covid-19

Full Text:

FDA loses its war on ivermectin and agrees to remove all social media posts and consumer directives regarding ivermectin and COVID, including its most popular tweet in FDA history.

This landmark case sets an important precedent in limiting FDA overreach into the doctor-patient relationship.

Thank you @BoydenGrayPLLC for your excellent counsel. @drpaulmarik1 @RobertApter1 @Covid19Critical

(…) Last year, Doctors Mary Talley Bowden, Paul Marik, & Robert Apter appeared in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals as part of their lawsuit.

“The FDA is not your doctor. Yesterday we took them to court to remind them of that,” Dr. Bowden wrote.

A photo clipping from Wikipedia of the negligent FDA Commissioners who promoted the deadly Covid vaccines.

“A pharmacist cites CDC and US FDA as why she will continue to deny filling prescriptions for ivermectin. On Tuesday, the FDA’s attorney declared the FDA has no problem with doctors prescribing ivermectin off-label. It’s time for them to make a formal announcement and set the record straight,” Bowden wrote on Thursday.

During the oral argument, Ashley Cheung Honold, a Department of Justice lawyer representing the FDA stated that the agency “explicitly recognizes” that doctors do have the authority to administer ivermectin to treat COVID.

“”FDA explicitly recognizes that doctors do have the authority to prescribe ivermectin to treat COVID,” said Honold.

“FDA made these statements in response to multiple reports of consumers being hospitalized, after self-medicating with ivermectin intended for horses, which is available for purchase over the counter without the need for prescription,” Honold said.

“In some contexts, those words could be construed as a command,” Ms. Honold said. “But in this context, where FDA was simply using these words in the context of a quippy tweet meant to share its informational article, those statements do not rise to the level of a command.”

“FDA is clearly acknowledging that doctors have the authority to prescribe human ivermectin to treat COVID. So they are not interfering with the authority of doctors to prescribe drugs or to practice medicine,” she said.

It can be recalled that Houston Methodist launched an investigation into Bowden and suspended her for defying health authorities and exercising free speech.

The hospital excoriated Bowden for “using her social media accounts to express her personal opinions about the COVID-19 vaccine and treatments,” NBC News reports. The suspension barred the physician from admitting or treating patients at the hospital.

Bowden repeatedly warned that it is “wrong” to mandate the experimental mRNA vaccines and continuously touted Ivermectin as a safe and effective treatment amid threats from public health officials against prescribing the drug.

Bowden was forced to resign. In her resignation letter, Bowden doubled down on the efficacy of Ivermectin.

“I have worked hard to provide early treatment for victims of COVID-19. My efforts have been successful. I have treated more than 200 COVID-19 patients, including many with co-morbidities, and none of these patients have required hospitalization. This is a testament to the success of my treatment methods,” she wrote. “Throughout this pandemic, there has been no FDA-approved treatment for COVID. Therefore I have done my best to care for patients and save lives in the absence of a clear scientific consensus.”

“Early treatment must still be part of any strategy for patient care. That is why physicians and hospitals should pay more attention to medications such as Ivermectin, which significant research and my clinical experience indicate is effective,” she continued. “I have decided to part ways with Houston Methodist because of the accusation that I have been spreading “dangerous information.” This is false and defamatory. I do not spread misinformation, and my opinions are supported by science. There is substantial evidence for the efficacy of Ivermectin in treating COVID-19, and no evidence for serious or fatal side effects associated with the doses used to treat COVID-19.”

March 21, 2024 – Whistleblower alleges CIA intervened to block interview with key Hunter Biden associate

A new whistleblower has come forward to congressional investigators alleging that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) moved to prevent federal investigators from interviewing a key associate of Hunter Biden.

The whistleblower alleges that the CIA intervened in August 2021 to prevent Internal Revenue Service (IRS) investigators from interviewing Kevin Morris, a Hollywood lawyer who has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrats and paid some of Hunter Biden’s legal fees, House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan wrote in a Thursday letter to CIA Director Bill Burns. The whistleblower further alleged that Department of Justice (DOJ) officials were subsequently called into CIA headquarters and instructed that Morris was not to be a witness in their probe.

“The information we recently received from the whistleblower seems to corroborate our concerns about DOJ’s deviations from standard process to provide Hunter Biden with preferential treatment. According to the whistleblower, in August 2021, when IRS investigators were preparing to interview Patrick Kevin Morris, an associate of Hunter Biden, the CIA intervened to stop the interview,” Comer and Jordan wrote in their letter. “Two DOJ officials were allegedly summoned to CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia for a briefing regarding Mr. Morris. At that meeting, it was communicated that Mr. Morris could not be a witness during the investigation.”

Comer-Jordan CIA Whistleblo… by Nick Pope

“It is unknown why or on what basis the CIA allegedly intervened to prevent investigators from interviewing Mr. Morris,” the letter continues. “However, these allegations track with other evidence showing how the DOJ deviated from its standard investigative practices during the investigation of Hunter Biden.”

The lawmakers concluded their letter by demanding that the CIA hand over all documents and internal communications pertaining to Hunter Biden and the DOJ and IRS investigations into his affairs, as well as all documents and communications pertaining to attempts to interview Morris pursuant to Hunter Biden probes. Comer and Jordan instructed the CIA to hand over those materials no later than the close of business on April 4.

While the CIA allegedly made an effort to prevent federal investigators from interviewing Morris back in 2021, congressional lawmakers got their chance to interview him under oath in January. (Read more: Daily Caller, 3/21/2024) (Archive)

March 21, 2024 – James Carville: Biden doesn’t need to do the “wetwork” in 2024, “people like me and other groups in the party” can do that

CNN’s Anderson Cooper interviews James Carville:

James Carville volunteered himself and other Democratic political operatives to take over the “wetwork” for President Biden’s 2024 re-election campaign during an interview Wednesday night on CNN.

“President Biden is not the best attack politician I’ve ever seen in my life, and leave it at that. But there are a lot of people to do what I call, quote, the wetwork, unquote,” Carville told CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

He defined “wetwork” as “a CIA term to take a guy out” but explained, “It is paid TV and stuff like that.”

“He doesn’t need to do the wetwork. People like me and other groups in the party need to do that, [Biden is] not very good at it,” the former Clinton campaign manager said. “I don’t think people want to hear that from him. He can cruise along at a better altitude.” (RealClearPolitics, 3/21/2024)  (Archive)

March 21, 2024 – “Biden censorship regime” locks media access at border over embarrassing invasion video

New York Post’s Jennie Taer is on the ground at the southern border wall and was the first to report the shocking invasion footage in El Paso, Texas, one day ago, when migrants attacked US National Guard troops. In response, the federal government has blocked media access to at least one stretch of the wall because the footage is extremely shocking and embarrassing for the White House.

“Media now being blocked from the scene where we captured a breach by hundreds of migrants in El Paso yesterday, how do we do our jobs now?”Taer posted on X on Friday evening.

One day before, the NYPost journo captured this video that shocked the nation.

Somehow, delusional White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre blames Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for the migrant chaos. She believes the American people are stupid enough to believe her lies. However, we know Americans are fed up with the bullshit the White House peddles because polling data for this rogue administration has imploded.

March 22, 2024 – Trump’s acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller claims January 6 Committee threatened him to remain silent about Trump authorizing deployment of National Guard

Donald Trump‘s former acting Defense Secretary Chris Miller claims the January 6 committee threatened to ‘make his life hell’ if he kept claiming his former boss authorized National Guard deployment during the Capitol riot.

In an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com, the former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center said he became ‘fearful’ of aggressive tactics by members of the Democrat-led panel who tried to stop him speaking publicly about a narrative that didn’t align with their final report.

Miller’s bombshell claims follow a report by Republican Rep. Barry Loudermilk that reveals the committee withheld a transcript from an interview with a top White House official where he told Vice Chair Liz Cheney and other staffers that Trump did want to deploy troops.

Cheney did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether she or any other members of the Select Committee corresponded with witnesses in a way that could be interpreted as threatening.

Trump appointed Miller as the Pentagon chief in November 2020 after he fired Mark Esper amid attempts to overturn Joe Biden‘s presidential election victory.

He was only in the job for two months, but was thrust in front of the committee during their probe into the events that unfolded on the day the electoral college votes were certified.

Miller claims the members intimidated him, and warned they would repeatedly bring him in for ‘hours’ of additional testimony if he kept going on TV and defending the former president’s actions.

(…) The former Trump officials’ testimonies to the January 6 panel included recalling this meeting on January 3, 2021.

Kash and Miller’s sworn testimonies were buried or discredited by the Select Committee as they claimed the two men were politically aligned with the former president.

Miller said he ‘definitely interpreted’ the panel would ‘make my life hell’ if he kept going on TV.

‘Now, you know, they’ll say, ‘No, that wasn’t it at all. We just wanted to make sure that we understood all the nuance and complexity.’ But I definitely interpreted it as… don’t fight city hall type thing,’ he explained.

A review of the panel’s investigation by the House Administration Committee’s Subcommittee on Oversight revealed that longtime Secret Service official Tony Ornato, who was in charge of Trump’s security detail on January 6, 2021, corroborated Kash and Miller’s testimonies.

“There’s More on This” – Kash Patel Warns Liz Cheney and Her J6 Committee Lackeys that More is Coming to Expose their Lies to the American Public (VIDEO)

Steve Bannon: Kash, the Daily Mail has an explosive exclusive that says Chris Miller, and you, or particularly Miller, was intimidated right after that interview by Liz Cheney and members of the January sixth staff to say that if you guys continue to come out and publicly talk about this, there are going to be consequences, sir.

Kash Patel: That that was the truth. Donald Trump wanted to prevent any insurrection narrative and any actual insurrection and did that. Right after that authorization, Pelosi and Bowser rejected the request for National Guard, Men, and Women, and now we’ve caught them. And what is worse, Steve, is the cover-up of the corruption from these government gangsters.

The January 6th Committee that preached to America about equality under the law and finding the truth, last week, we found suppressed evidence of the innocence of Donald Trump in Tony Ornato’s testimony. And now, what do we do? Now what do we do? They threatened a cabinet secretary, the former Secretary of Defense, in charge on that day with legal endeavors to bury him in legal fees and investigate him, should he dare to come out with the truth.

Just think about that. A Congressional committee led by Liz Cheney and funded by our taxpayers actually threatened the Secretary of Defense. Steve, I think they did it to the media, too. They threatened them with lawsuits and subpoenas if they dare to put out the truth, all for one point, because it buries the truth about the insurrection narrative that they have been rolling out there.

There was no insurrection. Donald Trump is innocent. Now we have actual legal warfare by a Congressional committee against a former cabinet secretary, I think others, and I think against media organizations as well.

Steve Bannon:  This is outrageous because they’re using that committee as the pretext in Colorado. They just take the committee file and say, Oh, Trump’s an insurrectionist because Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger and Benny Thompson said so. And a little Jamie Raskin, the worst of the worst. And they just read it into the record and that’s it. When are we going to go after this committee, sir?

Kash Patel:  Well, maybe they need to start reading this great reporting by the Daily Mail, which, by the way, I think is a part of a multi-part piece that’s coming. There’s more on this. The story is not being done. One headline alone would be the story of the year about threatening a cabinet secretary with legal action for daring to put out the truth. What the members of Congress need to do is start subpoenaing every single member of that committee. Liz Cheney and Cassidy Hutchinson should be front and center before the United States public, answering questions on their oath. By the way, Cassidy Hutchinson, who lied under oath and is now being sued for defamation and was their star witness. These two combined to write the Christopher Steele dossier of January 6th and now have been completely exposed.

March 23, 2024 – Gen. Michael Flynn: Deep State is at war with ‘America and the American people’

The Deep State is at war with “America and the American people,” Gen. Michael Flynn, the former national security adviser to former President Donald Trump, said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday, previewing his upcoming documentary film.

The movie, Flynn: Deliver the Truth. Whatever the Cost, details how the Deep State went after Flynn, and the story, he said, is “really two parts.”

“The first part is really about my life and service to the military” and how he rose to the levels he reached, Flynn explained, noting that the second part is “really about the persecution and the resurrection.”

“Really, it’s a story of survival. And it’s a story of hope,” he said, explaining that the story is largely about how one responds to the bad things that happen to them. Further, Flynn said he exposes things in the film that he has “never talked about.”

When asked why the Deep State chose to go after him, Flynn noted that “they’re not just at war with Donald Trump.”

“They’re at war with America and the American people. So I want to sort of emphasize that, you know, ‘Why me?’ And I do describe this in the film because you don’t get to leading one of the largest intel agencies in the world, which I did, you don’t get to being the national security adviser, chosen by a duly-elected president of the United States of America, which I was, I mean, you know, without having your act together, and then, of course, I served five years in combat overseas against foreign enemies,” Flynn said. “The biggest enemies that I faced was right here at home.”

Flynn said he discusses this at length in the film.

“So, ‘Why me?’ The things that I had done in the latter part of my military career do sort of tell a little bit, and I talk a little bit about this, tell a little bit of a story about ‘Why me?’ when I helped Donald Trump become president of the United States and I was chosen to be his national security adviser,” he explained.

“I started immediately digging into things that I knew about, right? When people say, ‘Flynn knows where the bodies are buried,’ that is a metaphor for the things that I was aware of as not only the head of one of the largest intel agencies in the world — I also worked at the director of national intelligence level — but as I got into the transitioning into the White House, I started to ask questions that I knew the answers to, and I wanted to find out, you know, who was actually doing some of these things, right?” he explained.

March 23, 2024 – House Subcommittee Chairman Pete Sessions starts looking at root of DC Lawfare activity

Rosa Brooks (Credit: Georgetown Law)

Chairman Pete Sessions (TX-CD17) appears to have taken the first step in what could be a very lengthy process of sunlight.  Chairman Sessions has sent a preservation letter to Georgetown University School of Law, identifying a couple of people at the root of the problem, Rosa Brooks and Mary McCord. {SEE HERE}

RED STATE – […] Sessions specifically singled out Professor Mary B. McCord for Brooks’ attention. McCord is now the executive director of the Georgetown University School of Law’s Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protections, or ICAP. 

Just as Brooks is no utility player, neither is McCord.

Before McCord joined Brooks’ team at Georgetown, she was a holdover from President Barack Obama, serving in the early months of the Trump administration.

As the acting assistant attorney general for the National Security Division, McCord worked with another Obama holdover, acting Attorney General Sally Q. Yates, worked together to kneecap National Security Advisor Michael T. Flynn.

Mary McCord

The subcommittee chairman quoted McCord in the letter from an interview she gave to NBC News, in its Jan. 14 web article, “Fears grow that Trump will use the military in ‘dictatorial ways’ if he returns to the White House.” 

McCord told NBC: “We’re already starting to put together a team to think through the most damaging types of things that he [Trump] might do so that we’re ready to bring lawsuits if we have to.”

The congressman then made a request:

Please define if Professor McCord and her colleagues are conducting this hyperpartisan activity under the auspices of ICAP—an entity which is described as a ‘non-partisan institute within Georgetown University Law Center.

(continue reading). 

While both Brooks and McCord are key players within a corrupt network, it is Mary McCord who can be directly traced to the origin of every attack against President Donald Trump and his administration.

There is not a single element of the Lawfare construct targeting Donald Trump that does not trace in origination back to Mary McCord.

To give you an idea of the scope of influence of Mary McCord as a key functionary, consider what we can document.

♦ McCord submitted the fraudulent FISA application to spy on Trump campaign (2016).

♦ McCord created the “Logan Act” claim used against Michael Flynn and then went with Sally Yates to confront the White House (2017).

♦ McCord then left the DOJ and went to work for Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler on their impeachment teams (2018).

♦ McCord organized the CIA rule changes with Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson. [Atkinson was McCord’s general counsel when she was acting head of the DOJ-National Security Division.] That 2019 coordination, with her former colleague, created the baseline for the false claims of National Security Council member Alexander Vindman and the Ukraine-narrative impeachment effort.

♦ McCord led and organized the House joint committee impeachment effort, in the background, using the evidence she helped create (2019).

♦ McCord joined the FISA Court to protect against DOJ IG Michael Horowitz’s newly gained NSD oversight and his review of the Title-1 surveillance warrant – the FISA that targeted Carter Page.  A FISA warrant McCord originally constructed and submitted to the FISA court a few years earlier (2019).

♦ McCord then joined the J6 Committee helping to create all the Lawfare angles they deployed (2021).

November 3, 2021 – In Washington DC – “Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and the House Jan. 6 Select Committee has tapped Mary McCord, who once ran the Justice Department’s National Security Division, for representation in its fight to obtain former President Donald Trump’s White House records. (read more)

♦ McCord then coordinated with DA Fani Willis in Georgia (2022).

January 10, 2024 –  Georgia prosecutors probing Donald Trump’s effort to subvert the 2020 election got an early boost in the spring of 2022. It came from another set of investigators who were way ahead of them: the House Jan. 6 select committee.

Committee staff quietly met with lawyers and agents working for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in mid-April 2022, just as she prepared to convene a special grand jury investigation. In the previously unreported meeting, the Jan. 6 committee aides let the district attorney’s team review — but not keep — a limited set of evidence they had gathered. (read more)

♦ McCord is working with Special Counsel Jack Smith to prosecute Trump (2023 through today).

In short, Mary McCord is the Lawfare string that winds through every legal ‘stop Trump’ effort; yet, until now no one has ever called her out!  (Read more: Conservative Treehouse, 3/24/2024)  (Archive)

March 23, 2024 – The Biden regime’s disturbing and unauthorized new “federal red flag” center transforms Americans into shameful government informants

(Credit: Revolver News graphic)

(…) In a blatant drive to transform American citizens into shameful informants for the government’s “brown shirts” by encouraging them to snitch on neighbors, friends, and family, the Biden regime has, without Congress’s approval and in total violation of the US Constitution, established a “Red Flag Center.” This move is aimed at spying on “we the people” and infringing upon our Second Amendment rights through the use of civilian spies. It’s a ballsy step to bulldoze Americans’ constitutional freedoms and disarm us, literally and figuratively. This alarming “center” is set to be illegally run by Biden’s politicized DOJ, targeting anyone viewed as a political dissident. The same tyrannical and anti-American garbage we’ve seen time and time again from this regime.

Congressman Thomas Massie is among those deeply disturbed by this illegal move. He’s now exposing this unconstitutional center for exactly what it is. Here’s his take on the announcement of this alarming and unauthorized new “red flag center” established by the Biden regime:

Here’s a closeup of the statement from Merrick B. Garland:

This isn’t some small potatoes operation; Biden’s DOJ has big plans to disarm as many of you as they possibly can, by any means necessary.

Patrick Webb:

BREAKING: The DOJ with the help of the newly formed National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center will be working with doctors, district attorneys, judges, and other federal agencies under the guise of “mental health” to handover personal information and collaborate on documents which would allow law enforcement the right to confiscate U.S. citizen’s firearms and imprison them under the pretense of “saving you from yourself”, according to new press release.

March 24, 2024 – Trump: “Hillary Clinton created ISIS with Obama.”; Carlson: “CIA was involved in JFK’s assassination”: Benz: “Hunter Biden is untouchable, CIA operation in Ukraine”

The CIA by any other name… ISIS, Hamas, Helbollah, Antifa, BLM…

“Hillary Clinton created ISIS with Obama.”
– President Trump

“Hunter Biden is untouchable is because his work in Ukraine touched on a very sensitive CIA operation.”
– Mike Benz

“Source says yes, the CIA was involved in JFK’s assassination”
– Tucker Carlson

In addition, Mike also explains how Hunter (and Gavin Newsom) are selling off parts of America to our foreign enemies. Could this be some kind of payoff for Hunter’s high-level national security work?

Honestly, this theory could really explain why there are so many high-level relatives on Burisma’s board and why VP Biden once threatened to withhold a billion dollars from Ukraine unless they dropped their internal investigation. And perhaps the most troubling part is that nobody cared—possibly because our entire intelligence community was in on all of it?

“Mike recently sat down with America’s Voice to break down this theory that Hunter might be an intelligence asset. They discussed the possibility that he was working for the national security state to shift Ukraine’s energy focus away from Russia and towards Europe. It’s a complex theory, but unpacking it sheds new light on the bigger geopolitical moves at play.

March 24, 2024 – Mop-Up Man: Is this former ATF agent running the J6 pipe bomb cover-up?

We have long maintained that the two smoking guns of the January 6 Fedsurrection are the curious case of Ray Epps, on the one hand, and the RNC/DNC pipe bomb hoax, on the other.

(…) All of this changed when we drew attention to a certain explosive (no pun intended) surveillance video that had quietly and with great reluctance been released by the Capitol Police thanks to the persistent efforts of Thomas Massie, who has valiantly used his Congressional perch to advance our body of research on the January 6 pipe bomb.

(…) When asked about the flagrant and explicable lack of concern in relation to the pipe bomb, a more senior Capitol Police official who spoke for the group offered the following shocking response: the nonchalant response of the Secret Service and Capitol Police to the pipe bomb was deliberately designed so as not to cause panic among the public. Think of that: we’re supposed to believe that Secret Service agents and Capitol Police stood lackadaisically within feet of what could have been a live explosive device and allowed a group of children to walk within feet of said device in order to not cause panic.

Revolver:

As it so happens, Congressman Massie and a number of other Judiciary officials had the opportunity to meet with relevant Capitol Police officials, including at least one Capitol Police officer who was present during the discovery of the DNC bomb depicted in the video above. When asked the obvious and burning question as to why Secret Service officials, as well as the Capitol Police officers on scene, were so utterly unconcerned with the recently discovered bomb just feet within their proximity, the Capitol Police responded that they and the Secret Service officials on scene reacted with such utter indifference in order not to cause panic.

Think about this. The Secret Service was notified of the presence of an explosive device within feet of themselves, the Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, whom they’re supposed to protect, and children and other passersby, and we are supposed to believe that the officials did nothing because they didn’t want to cause panic!

(…) We are now in a position to expose the identity of the most senior Capitol Police official in that meeting and the man who reportedly presented congressional officials and staffers with the absurd excuse that the Capitol Police and Secret Service allowed a group of children to walk in front of the bomb so as not to cause panic—a baffling explanation for such a flagrant breach of protocol as to be unbelievable to the point of offense. That Capitol Police official is Ashan Benedict, currently Assistant Chief of Police of the Capitol Police in charge of Protective and Intelligence Operations. Yes, you read that right. A man who would excuse the flagrant violation of security protocol as depicted in the footage of the DNC bomb discovery is the head of Protective Operations at the Capitol Police. This alone should be sufficient to cause a national scandal, but it gets far worse. Ashan Benedict’s conduct and statements in the meeting described above, together with new (yet entirely overlooked) information that has come out as a result of a recent Judicial Watch FOIA request, lead us to believe with a high degree of conviction that Ashan M. Benedict is one of the key cover-up men of the entire January 6 pipe bomb hoax.

Ashan M. Benedict, Assistant Chief of Police in Charge of Protective and Intelligence Operations, US Capitol Police (Credit: public domain)

Up until this point, Benedict remained, for the most part, an unknown figure to the public. In fact, the only public exposure of Benedict of any note occurred quite recently in the context of Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) documents released as a result of Judicial Watch’s FOIA requests. The headline that emerged from this story is the exposure of CIA involvement on January 6. As we shall soon see, however, the documents FOIAd by Judicial Watch inadvertently expose information that serves to dramatically reinforce our belief that Benedict is a key coverup man for the January 6 pipe bomb hoax.

The ATF documents obtained by Judicial Watch run 88 pages, which includes a number of screenshots from a text group chat of various ATF officials on January 6 called the “January 7 Intel Chain.” The first thing we notice about the group chat in question is how nearly every single name is redacted—not an uncommon feature, to be sure—in FOIAd documents from three-letter agencies. Ashan Benedict’s name, interestingly, is one of the very few that is not redacted. Note that on January 6, 2021, Benedict was a senior ATF official as the Special Agent in Charge for all of Washington, D.C. (hence his presence in the FOIA documents).

(…) The location of the command center notwithstanding, one of the several damning and unanswered questions pertaining to the discovery of the DNC pipe bomb has always been how quickly it was discovered after the first pipe bomb at the Capitol Hill Club had been discovered. We learn from the surveillance footage of the discovery of the DNC bomb that this took place a mere 15 minutes after the discovery of the first bomb.

(…) So what are the chances that some Nostradamus-like figure working for the Capitol Police or ATF would somehow, after the discovery of the first pipe bomb at the Capitol Hill Club, magically intuit that there must be another bomb at the DNC and go on to discover this DNC bomb (which had been undiscovered for over 17 hours) a mere 15 minutes later?

As it so happens, this very question came up in the closed-door meeting between certain members of Congress, their staff, and Congressional officials (including Benedict as the senior officer) and was posed to one of the Capitol Police officers on the scene when the DNC bomb was discovered—in fact, he’s the partner of the plainclothes Capitol Police Officer who discovered the bomb. The answer Benedict and the Capitol Police officer provided was just as offensively implausible as the claim they didn’t attempt to warn schoolchildren of the bomb in order to avoid panic. The Capitol Police officer who was on the scene at the discovery of the DNC bomb claimed that they were at the location of the first bomb and simply had a hunch there might be something at the DNC, and sure enough, 15 minutes later they found it. Remarkable!

The impossible coincidences and absurd explanations for them don’t stop there, however. Just as the notion that the Capitol Police officers just managed to have a hunch that a second bomb would be at the DNC doesn’t add up, it is equally, if not more puzzling, as to how the same officers in question would have had the clairvoyance to know there wouldn’t be a third bomb. After all, if two bombs are discovered in relatively close proximity to the Capitol and in quick succession, wouldn’t the natural assumption be that there would be a third and possibly additional devices? And yet the same officers with sufficient clairvoyance to think to search for and discover a second bomb at the DNC, and to do so an astonishing 15 minutes after the first bomb was discovered—the same officers with sufficient clairvoyance to somehow know that the DNC bomb posed no threat to themselves or the schoolchildren passing by—are, astonishingly enough, the very same officers with the clairvoyance to know that there would be no third bomb in addition to the RNC and DNC bombs, or at least it was not worth looking at or fretting over.

As it so happens, the Capitol Police officer, whose partner was the plainclothes officer who discovered the DNC bomb and who was also on the scene at the discovery of the bomb, was asked by Congressional officials in this meeting whether they had searched for a third bomb upon discovering the second, and if not, why not? The answer, under the watchful and approving eye of Ashan Benedict (whom we now have revealed to be the senior Capitol Police official at this meeting), answered that they did not think there would be a third bomb and provided no explanation as to why.

March 26, 2024 – Report: DOJ sought info on James Biden in connection to Medicare fraud case

James Biden (Credit: Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images)

The Justice Department reportedly sought information in 2023 about James Biden’s activities in connection to a Medicare fraud case involving a lucrative “Americore” deal.

It is unclear if James Biden, brother of President Joe Biden, is a target of the investigation, Politico reported Monday.

Americore is accused of being part of a scheme to defraud Medicare.

A second probe by federal investigators in South Florida into the Americore deal involving “transactions linked to Jim Biden” is also underway, two people familiar with the matter told Politico. It remains unclear if James Biden is the “focus” of the second probe, according to the report. His lawyer told Politico that his client is not under investigation regarding Americore.

Investigators in Florida are probing an Americore agreement that James Biden “was party to,” including “a series of loans made to Americore by an investment fund run by a Jim Biden associate,” the outlet reported.

James Biden admitted to Congress in February that he earned money to organize some of the loans for the company. He received a $200,000 loan from Americore and on the same day, cut Joe Biden a $200,000 check, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) revealed in October.

James Biden denies the $200,000 check he gave Joe Biden was due to a pre-existing business relationship. He insists the check was a return payment for money Joe Biden lent him.

However, a previously unreported lawsuit claims James Biden received improper payments from the Americore deal, Politico reported Monday:

In a complaint filed in Palm Beach County in 2022, investors in the Third Friday Total Return Fund allege that the money manager in charge of the fund looted millions of dollars from it by making sham loans to Americore, then diverted roughly $600,000 of the embezzled funds to Jim Biden.

(…) Several of the loans have an additional, previously unreported, link to the Bidens. An email obtained by POLITICO shows that a lawyer who has worked for Jim and Hunter Biden, George Mesires, represented the lender in some of the transactions being scrutinized. Mesires did not respond to requests for comment.

“Jim Biden is not named as a defendant in the Palm Beach suit, and it is not clear whether his activities are a focus in either criminal investigation,” the outlet reported.

More information about the allegations against Americore is here. (Read more: Breitbart, 3/26/2024) (Archive)

March 27, 2024 – O’Keefe Media Group undercover: CISA official confirms they colluded with big tech to censor Americans

Full Text:

“Trump Was Right, Biden doesn’t care about trade” states Trevar Kolodny, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (@CISACyber) Official in the Department of Homeland Security for chemical security.

Kolodny, who declares “I don’t think I can vote for Donald Trump after January 6th,” worked in the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau for the U.S. Treasury Department prior to CISA and despite not being a Trump fan observes Trump “was deeply interested in trade.”

Kolodny also confirms CISA’s collusion with Big Tech: “And they, they’ve had conversation with Facebook, Google about these things that aren’t true. There’s been a whole lot.” – collusion which was detailed in a House Judiciary report released last year about CISA using infrastructure to combat so-called misinformation. (This is the same CISA that actively worked to censor information related to our reporting on voter fraud during its election integrity project.) Kolodny relates that Senator Rand Paul is trying to “gum up” “the broader cyber security agency” for CISA’s efforts to combat internet misinformation, but Kolodny adds, “I get where Rand Paul @Randpaul is coming from.”

March 27, 2024 – Texas court deals massive blow to Biden’s climate change agenda

On Wednesday a U.S. District Court delivered a significant setback to the Biden administration’s climate change agenda, striking down a controversial rule aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the nation’s highways.

The rule, introduced by the Department of Transportation (DOT)’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in December 2023, sought to compel states to actively measure, report, and establish declining targets for carbon dioxide emissions generated by vehicles on U.S. highways.

The state of Texas, challenging the federal mandate, argued that the FHWA had overstepped its authority with the imposition of the new rule. U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix, appointed by former President Trump, concurred with Texas, stating unequivocally that “the rule was unauthorized.”

“A federal administrative agency cannot act without congressional authorization,” Hendrix wrote. The contested rule required states not only to track and report greenhouse gas emissions but also to set and strive for progressively lower emission targets. The Biden administration defended the rule as a crucial step towards mitigating climate change and promoting sustainable transportation infrastructure.

However, Texas presented a strong legal challenge, asserting that the FHWA lacked the statutory authority to enforce such environmental mandates under the current legislative framework. Judge Hendrix’s analysis aligned with this perspective, saying that the DOT’s expansive interpretation of its regulatory powers was unsupported by the statute’s text.

“The relevant definitions and related performance measures make clear that ‘performance of the Interstate/National Highway Systems’ focuses on the infrastructure’s effectiveness in facilitating travel, commerce, and national defense—not environmental outputs of vehicles using the systems,” Hendrix elaborated.

In December, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stated that the “new performance measure will provide states with a clear and consistent framework to track carbon pollution and the flexibility to set their own climate targets.”

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton vehemently opposed the initiative, declaring the state’s intention to halt “unlawful climate mandates.” Additionally, in December, a coalition of 21 states filed a lawsuit in Kentucky to contest the regulation, a case that remains unresolved.

March 27, 2024 – Whistleblower claims Michael Cohen was having affair with Stormy Daniels since 2006 and cooked up hush money scheme to extort money from Trump

Tony Seruga is a very popular commentator on Twitter. In his profile, the conservative commentator with over 77K followers, Mr. Seruga, states that he’s an Intel Ops CIA/NSA Contractor/Whistleblower.

This afternoon, Mr. Seruga dropped a bombshell, and if true, it could blow up the whole Stormy Daniels affair with Trump lie that the mainstream media and Democrats have been clinging to since 2015.

Tony Seruga claims he used to share office space with the convicted felon and former attorney, Michael Avenatti, who represented porn star Stormy Daniels in her case alleging that then-presidential candidate Donald J. Trump paid her hush money to keep their alleged “affair” out of the public.

Seruga’s tweet begins: “I spoke with Michael Avenatti, who at one time had an office in the same building as one of my businesses in Newport Beach, CA (in November 2018, a few days after his arrest on suspicion of domestic violence, Avenatti’s law firm was evicted from those same offices in Newport Beach after skipping $213,000 worth of rent payments.).”

(…) Here’s where Seruga’s story gets to be very interesting as it relates to Stormy Daniels and former Trump attorney Michael Cohen, “In any case, Avenatti shared details of his client Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, case and the fact that her and Michael Cohen were actually having an affair since 2006.”

And then, Seruga drops a bombshell:

“The whole hush money scheme was cooked up by Michael Cohen to extort the Trump Organization before the 2016 election. Avenatti seemed pleased at how deviant Michael Cohen was.”

Seruga followed up his first tweet by explaining how the shady lawyer Michael Avenatti bragged about the scheme more than once and even bragged about it to former NBA star Dennis Rodman on the patio in Corona Del Mar, CA.

(…) “Understand, Michael Avenatti is a serial liar, but he did speak about his client (that he would later steal from) and Michael Cohen’s affair touching on their scheme to bilk the Trump Organization out of money. He spoke about it on more than one occasion. He was very passionate that Trump had not signed the NDA making it null and void. One time, in fact, he was bragging about it to Dennis Rodman at the Port Restaurant out on the patio, in Corona Del Mar, CA. I was only half listening as I had heard it all before, but Dennis Rodman seemed engaged in the conversation.”

March 28, 2024 – Trump judge issues gag order; Trump seizes loophole and blasts Judge Merchan and his daughter, Democrat activist Loren Merchan

(…) Justice Merchan imposed a gag order on the former President, blocking him from speaking about ‘reasonably foreseeable witnesses,’ lawyers working on the case, court staff or their families.

However, the order did not include Merchan or his daughter, prompting prosecutors to ask for clarification on Friday.

Trump seized the loophole, taking to social media to heap his frustrations on the judge and his daughter.

‘Judge Juan Merchan is totally compromised, and should be removed from this TRUMP Non-Case immediately,’ Trump posted to Truth Social on Thursday.

He then directed his rage at 34-year-old Loren, alleging she was the owner of an account on X, formerly Twitter, that depicted an image of Trump behind bars.

‘His Daughter, Loren, is a Rabid Trump Hater, who has admitted to having conversations with her father about me, and yet he gagged me,’ Trump professed.

‘She works for Crooked Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Adam ‘Shifty’ Schiff, and other Radical Leftists who Campaign on ‘Getting Trump.” (Read more: The Daily Mail, 3/31/2024)  (Archive)

March 28, 2024 – Hillary Clinton takes aim at “disinformation” and “negative, virulent content” while advocating for Section 230 to be abolished ahead of 2024 elections

(…) So, Clinton-the-victim’s comments now, half a year before the next US presidential election and amid mainstream media’s “disinformation/AI panic” might read as little, if anything, more than political campaigning.

She claims this is her focus now: still talking about the alleged wrongdoing done to her in 2016, still alleging this was all about “disinformation” – and that it was all “primitive” – compared to what she anticipates is happening now.

Clinton also plays her audience by at once “admitting” that she and hers are ignorant (“I don’t think any of us understood it. I did not understand it. I can tell you, my campaign did not understand it”), to then claim that, for some reason, she should now be taken as an authority.

Not about social media, memes, the “dark web” (or, God forbid, the concept of email…) but also, the regulation of online providers/content. Enter the CDA Section 230 debate – where it seems each side of the ideological aisle interprets its importance according to their political needs of the day.

“Their, you know, the so-called ‘Dark Web’ was filled with these kinds of memes and stories and videos of all sorts…portraying me in all kinds of… less than flattering ways,” Clinton said. “And we knew something’s going on, but we didn’t understand the full extent of the very clever way in which it was insinuated into social media.”

Clinton is now quoted in the press as saying that tech companies – enjoying, and, conservatives say, indulgently abusing their Section 230 protections over third-party content (to favor liberals) – suddenly should no longer have those privileges.

An experienced observer may see this turn of events – somebody like Clinton apparently advocating for Section 230 to be abolished – as simply a maneuver to pile on more pressure on major tech companies to be careful “not to slip” in their “censorship diligence” this election season – or else.

Either way, this is what Clinton said: “Section 230 has to go. We need a different system under which tech companies and we’re mostly talking obviously about the social media platforms – operate.” (Read more: ReclaimTheNet.org, 3/31/2024) (Archive)
