Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis must be drooling. In a dark day for America, Democrats made President Joe Biden’s chief political rival fly to their stronghold of Atlanta, surrender to law-enforcement officials, and get photographed and fingerprinted like a common criminal. Consequently, Willis and her fellow Democrats now boast a mugshot of former President of the United States Donald Trump. They will deploy it in campaign ads from now until Armageddon. It probably already inhabits dart boards in the White House and the Democrat National Committee. The next step in Trump’s persecution will be Willis’ Stalinesque show trial. Exhibit...

A California cop who was heralded as “Detective of the Year” just three years ago has been charged with sending sexually explicit messages to someone he thought was a teenage girl, authorities said. Santa Ana Police Detective Gregory Daniel Beaumarchais, 43, is facing a misdemeanor charge of annoying or molesting a victim believed to be under the age of 18, Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said. “Police officers are entrusted with the sacred responsibility to safeguard society from harm,” the prosecutor said in a statement. “It is beyond disturbing that a sworn police officer would engage in inappropriate conversations...

Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone is the most recent in a string of Arizona officials to complain about the county’s audit of the 2020 presidential election. The sheriff said that the State Senate’s demands for the audit of Maricopa County’s presidential election is “mind-numbingly reckless and irresponsible.” He said the law enforcement agency would be at risk if the county complied with the Republican majority senate’s demands for routers or digital copies of the routers. The Senate also wants passwords to the voting machines that county officials have claimed they do not have, AZ Central reported. “The Senate Republican Caucus’...

LOS ANGELES, CA—A huge crowd turned out Sunday for the Hans Gruber memorial service. Gruber was the victim of police violence, having been thrown from Nakatomi Plaza by police officer John McClane, which many consider one of the most excessive uses of force ever witnessed. After the incident, there were protests all week, and now thousands from all over the country came to pay respects to Gruber, widely described as an “intelligent and witty soul.” That man was a hero,” said Doyle Graham, who traveled from Nevada to pay respects. “I mean, I don’t really know much about him other...

The Justice Department fired Mr. McCabe in the spring of 2018, citing Mr. Horowitz’s conclusions. Mr. McCabe is suing the Justice Department for wrongful termination, alleging President Trump ordered his firing. When FBI investigators confronted Mr. McCabe about the leak, he denied authorizing the disclosure to the Journal. He also presented himself as a “victim,” according to the agent who conducted the interview.Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe admitted he misled investigators about his role in a media leak and apologized for it, according to transcripts of his interviews with investigators released Thursday. The transcripts were released by the Justice...

If you’re a law enforcement official who has more allegiance to ideology than to the law or to the country, where does that get you? For former FBI analyst Mark Tolson, the answer is jail — however briefly. Tolson is best-known — if he’s known at all — as the man who broke into a pro-Trump operative’s email account in October 2018, took screen-shots of some of the messages, then sent images to a reporter and offered the reporter the password, according to Politico. The unnamed member of the media turned down the opportunity. Tolson, 60, said he did it...

Longtime NBC anchor Tom Brokaw issued an apology to Richard Jewell, the security guard who saved lives in the aftermath of the 1996 Atlanta, Georgia, bombing and later became a prime suspect. Jewell, whose story was recently turned into a movie by Clint Eastwood, started evacuating people from Centennial Olympic Park during the Atlanta Olympics after he spotted the bomb. Days later, media outlets began reporting that Jewell was the primary suspect in the attack. His innocence, however, was announced after months of speculation. Brokaw, one of the journalists who reported that Jewell was a suspect, apologized on social media...

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe has claimed the Trump administration is withholding evidence in his lawsuit. McCabe was fired from his position by Attorney General Jeff Sessions in 2018, after DOJ's Inspector General issued a damaging report following a leak investigation.

It’s now official: Russia, Russia, Russia really was fake news from the start. There was no factual basis for the FBI to spy on Donald Trump’s campaign. That means there was no need for the appointment of a special counsel and that Robert Mueller should have stayed in retirement. It means the two years of rumors and accusations and the giant cloud of suspicions over the White House produced by Mueller’s headhunters were unfair and unjustified. It also means J. Edgar Hoover can finally rest in peace. James Comey is now revealed to be the dirtiest cop ever to run...

Dennis Tuttle and Rhogena Nicholas were the victims. There was a federal bond hearing for former Houston Police Officer Gerald Goines last week after his arrest on 20 November, 2019.In the hearing for Goines, FBI special agent O'Neil Brown testified about more evidence found in Goines' official, but unmarked Houston Police Department car. From click2houston.com:Brown’s testimony brought forward new revelations about the investigation into Goines’ alleged activities.

This same confidential informant told investigators the drugs Goines said were purchased from 7815 Harding Street came...

The Harris County District Attorney's Office has dismissed 27 criminal cases and is in the process of reviewing 1,400 other convictions related to the officers charged in the botched Harding Street raid. The 14,000 cases being probed include 2,200 drug cases linked to Goines and Bryant. However, Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo believes it's not a department wide problem. "We've been looking at a lot of cases and we have yet to see it again, any evidence of any systemic issues," Acevedo said. Harris County DA @HarrisCountyDAO Ogg's office has dismissed 27 cases and is reviewing 1,400 other convictions after...

HOUSTON - Remember the explosive speech by Houston Police Officers' Union President Joe Gamaldi in the hours following the deadly botched raid at a home on Harding Street earlier this year? "We are sick and tired of having dirtbags trying to take our lives when all we are trying to do is protect this community and protect our families," Gamaldi said on Jan. Gamaldi and the union stood defiantly that night in its backing of Sgt. Gerald Goines, as well as the other Houston police officers injured in the raid. For months thereafter, the union picked up Goines' legal tab....

'He used his badge to rape': Texas deputy is charged with raping two women while in UNIFORM as cops urge 'more of victims he exposed himself to and sexually assaulted' to come forward Prosecutors say Richard Cornejo, 37, targeted a woman sleeping in a vehicle outside Palacios Latino Night Club in July 2018 while he was on patrol duty. He found a small amount of marijuana in the woman's car, offered to follow her home then allegedly assaulted her. Cops received a complaint last July that Cornejo had sexually assaulted someone that May and it led to the discovery of...

Former FBI Director James Comey had "so many answers" on Thursday following the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report, after he initially tweeted that he had "so many questions." Comey claimed to have answers after the Justice Department publicly released a redacted version of Mueller's report regarding his investigation into the Trump campaign and possible collusion with Russia. It marked the dramatic end of a lengthy and contentious investigation but also rang in a new round of partisan fighting. Alongside having "so many answers," Comey tweeted a photo of branches scattered across the ground.

A federal judge ordered the FBI Thursday to turn over former Director James Comey’s memos, including the notes that he took during his infamous one-on-one meetings with President Trump. Judge James E. Boasberg of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled in favor of CNN, USA Today, Judicial Watch, and other outlets, telling the DOJ that it must hand over the Comey memos to the court for review and possible public release. The memos include the notes that Comey said he leaked to the media to spark the appointment of a special counsel.

Interesting interview covering multiple aspects to the change in House power. Soon to be in the minority, HPSCI Chairman Devin Nunes discusses the likely diminished investigation into DOJ/FBI corruption as a result of Rod Rosenstein and “Dirty Cops” running out the clock. One of the interesting points noted by Nunes is how Speaker Paul Ryan requested the DOJ and FBI declassify internal emails for House committee use. However, DAG Rod Rosenstein refused to provide the emails which highlighted how officials within the institution abused their authority. It will be interesting to watch how the “trust the plan” group, those proclaiming...

When then-FBI Director James Comey announced he was closing the Hillary Clinton email investigation for a second time just days before the 2016 election, he certified to Congress that his agency had “reviewed all of the communications” discovered on a personal laptop used by Clinton’s closest aide, Huma Abedin, and her husband, Anthony Weiner. At the time, many wondered how investigators managed over the course of one week to read the “hundreds of thousands” of emails residing on the machine, which had been a focus of a sex-crimes investigation of Weiner, a former Congressman. Comey later told Congress that “thanks...

The news that the FBI fired Peter Strzok broke yesterday, and with that we can begin to see big-picture truth take shape about the bureau’s role in the Hillary Clinton investigation as well as the Russia investigation. It does not look good for the leadership at the FBI. 2016 did not bring out the best in them. Director James Comey was fired, as was Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and now Strzok, an FBI senior counterintelligence agent, has been terminated after being demoted earlier. He was a lead investigator on the probe into Clinton’s email server in 2016 before moving on...

Here’s how we discover. However, first, the frustrating context: From the Boston Marathon bombing investigation through the San...

Is there just a little corruption in DC? From 2001 to 2005 there was an ongoing investigation into the Clinton Foundation. A Grand Jury had been empaneled. Governments from around the world had donated to the “Charity”. Yet, from 2001 to 2003 none of those “Donations” to the Clinton Foundation was declared. Hmmm, now you would think that an honest investigator would be able to figure this out. Guess who took over this investigation in 2002? Bet you can’t guess. None other than James Comey.
