The likely goal of Democrats is to delay a vote on confirming Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court and Sen. Diane Feinstein, who produced the letter of a woman accusing the nominee of inappropriate behavior, has yet another trick up her sleeve. Adding to the cause to delay the vote, Feinstein says there’s still more that senators don’t know about Kavanaugh, according to Talking Points Memo.

"The walls are closing in, but they're not closing in on the president. They're closing in on the FBI and the Department of Justice under President Obama," diGenova said on Fox News' "Hannity" Thursday night. "By mentioning Carter Page, they have now created massive civil liability for everybody involved in revealing Carter Page's name," diGenova declared. He cited the names of former FBI counterintelligence director Bill Priestap, former FBI director James Comey, former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, and former FBI general counsel James Baker as people who are particularly vulnerable to civil liability. "The reporters for the New York...

Former Attorney General Eric Holder on Tuesday blasted President Trump for attacking him in a tweet on Sept. 11. Trump quoted Fox Business host Lou Dobbs in a tweet earlier Tuesday, writing, “‘ERIC Holder could be running the Justice Department right now and it would be behaving no differently than it is.’ @LouDobbs.” Holder responded in a tweet that Sept. 11 “is not a day for the usual unhinged Trump politics.” “This is a day to remember the innocent Americans we lost and the brave first responders who gave their lives,” Holder added. “They’re the best of America and we...

In a dramatic interaction during Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to serve on the Supreme Court on Thursday morning, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) deliberately violated rules against releasing protected information, risking, in his own estimation, the loss of his position. Here's why he did so — and what's likely to happen as a result. At issue are documents provided to the committee before the hearing process began. (Kavanaugh must be approved by the committee before his nomination can be sent to the full Senate for full confirmation.) Booker took issue with how and when some...

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) on Thursday released emails from Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's time as a White House counsel, escalating a heated fight over his documents. Booker released approximately 12 pages of emails tied to discussions Kavanaugh had on racial inequality including one email thread titled "racial profiling." The documents are marked "committee confidential," meaning they are not supposed to be discussed or released publicly. But the move comes after Booker said during a heated debate on Kavanaugh's third day before the Judiciary Committee that he would release the email thread. "I am right now, before your process is...

It looks like Judge Bruce will not be hearing any more cases in the near future. Back in October of 2013 Judge Bruce was appointed by Barack Obama to the federal court. Judge Bruce was set to hear two of the most extreme profile cases in the region. Before he was in the federal court, he was an assistant US Attorney in the Central District. As an Obama-Appointed federal judge, he has finally been removed from his position. Recently, the judge admitted to being involved with illegal activity with the cases he had been hearing in the past. It was...

Seamus Bruner, Government Accountability Institute (GAI) researcher and author of Compromised: How Money and Politics Drive FBI Corruption, explained how former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller leveraged their government positions to enrich themselves. He joined Peter Schweizer, GAI president and Breitbart News senior editor-at-large, for a Wednesday interview with Sean Hannity. “This is a familiar story [about] the revolving door; turning public service into self service,” said Bruner. “We followed the money. We followed it to the top, and we found that these choir boys or boy scouts — as the media likes to depict them — James...

President Trump said “flipping” should be illegal on Thursday two days after Michael Cohen implicated him in a guilty plea. Mr. Trump said in an interview with Fox News’ Ainsley Earhardt that flipping “almost ought to be illegal.” People “make up stories” about others just to cut down on their on prison sentences, he argued.

The outspoken Dallas mayor pro tem who balked at the National Rifle Association coming to town earlier this year resigned on Thursday after entering a guilty plea in federal court. The U.S. Attorney’s Office announced that Dallas City Council Member and Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway pleaded guilty to conspiracy and tax evasion charges involving $450,000 in bribe and kickback payments stemming from securing a city school bus stop-arm camera contract for a Louisiana company. The Dallas Morning News later reported that Caraway resigned his public position in the aftermath of the revelations. “I have dedicated much of my life...

Stolen: A noted researcher and author of a new book on Democrat-tied voter fraud says the data indicate a “tsunami” of illegal balloting is likely to take place during the 2018 midterms, which could flip enough GOP seats for Democrats to regain control of the House. Eric Eggers of the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) said in an interview with Breitbart Radio that narrow GOP election victories like the one in Ohio’s 12th district on Tuesday could flip enough seats that Democrats will regain congressional control when voter fraud is factored in. Even more unnerving: Eggers said there is enough documentation...

A California Democrat who resigned last year amid sexual misconduct allegations — including that he allegedly masturbated in front of a female lobbyist — has transferred more than $1 million into a lieutenant governor committee account, according to a campaign finance report filed Tuesday. The filing suggests that former state Assemblyman Matt Dababneh, 37, a Democrat who represented Woodland Hills, could be plotting a political comeback, the Sacramento Bee reported. **SNIP** Another woman, Jessica Yas Barker, said in December that she quit her job at a congressman’s office because of Dababneh’s frequent comments about her appearance, including advice that she...

The U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan is investigating whether three prominent Washington power players engaged in illegal foreign lobbying, after Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office referred the matter to federal prosecutors, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.

FOX news just announced Articles of Impeachment for Rosenstein have been just filed.

In one of the more stunning revelations contained in the report compiled by the Justice Department’s watchdog, former FBI Director James Comey claimed he doesn’t remember the moment he decided – and put down in writing -- that Hillary Clinton had committed crimes. We know that on or about May 2, 2016, Comey composed a statement summarizing Clinton’s mishandling of classified documents, concluding that she was “grossly negligent.” Those pivotal words have a distinct legal meaning, and are drawn directly from a federal statute, 18 U.S.C. 793(f), which makes it a felony to handle classified documents in a “grossly negligent”...

Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz slammed the massive number of redactions in the set of documents the Justice Department released on Saturday related to the wiretapping of a onetime campaign adviser to President Trump. Appearing on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Dershowitz argued that the vast majority of redactions were meant “to cover up people’s incompetence” and not any top secret information and that the American public deserves to know what has been hidden from view. “We need to know more, not less,” Dershowitz said. “We need less redactions.” The documents, which were released to the New York Times...

Trump-hating FBI official Peter Strzok created a fake timeline of the Weiner email recovery in order to leave a misleading record for the file. Strzok also created this document to get everyone in Comey’s inner circle on the same page. This is similar to what Susan Rice did when she sent herself a bizarre email on the same day Donald Trump was being sworn into office.

Former Spokane NAACP President Nkechi Diallo -- who became infamous as Rachel Dolezal, a white woman identifying as black -- was booked and fingerprinted at a Washington state jail Monday as she awaits trial on multiple charges, including welfare fraud. Diallo pleaded not guilty to state charges of first-degree theft by welfare fraud, making false verification and second-degree perjury last month. A judge ordered her freed on her own recognizance and gave her a deadline of Monday evening to report to the Spokane County jail for booking and fingerprinting. Diallo, who changed her name from Rachel Dolezal in October 2016,...

A secret memo marked “URGENT” detailed how the House Democratic Caucus’s server went “missing” soon after it became evidence in a cybersecurity probe. The secret memo also said more than “40 House offices may have been victims of IT security violations.” In the memo, Congress’s top law enforcement official, Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving, along with Chief Administrative Officer Phil Kiko, wrote, “We have concluded that the employees [Democratic systems administrator Imran Awan and his family] are an ongoing and serious risk to the House of Representatives, possibly threatening the integrity of our information systems and thereby members’ capacity to serve constituents.”...
