Free Republic

As we approach the 2024 election, states across the country are removing thousands of noncitizens from their voter rolls.Yet amid a surge of millions of immigrants across our borders, Democrats seem intent not only on undermining these state-led efforts, and leaving the election system vulnerable to potentially unprecedented noncitizen participation, but on threatening those acting to protect our republic from foreign election interference.The Biden-Harris administration has also led opposition to the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, requiring that voters provide documentary proof of citizenship, and enacted Executive Order 14019, under which federal authorities are allegedly working to register and...

...It turns out Routh was well known to law enforcement and had been on the FBI's radar since 2019. A tip came in claiming that the convicted felon was in possession of a firearm, officials revealed at a press conference on Monday, but the tipster never confirmed the information... FBI, Secret Service and other federal and local officials also provided an update as conspiracy theories fly about the would-be Trump assassin, saying it appears Routh was a lone wolf actor. 'We do not have information that has been acting with anyone else in present,' the Miami FBI Field Office's Special...

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Officials from the Department of Justice issued a public warning that, if Donald Trump is elected, he will do to them all of the stuff they're currently doing to him. According to Attorney General Merrick Garland, Trump's election could prove disastrous to the DOJ. "It's important that we remember that if Trump manages to seize power again, he is going to treat the DOJ exactly as horribly as we are currently treating him," Garland said at a press briefing. "He will definitely start imprisoning political opponents, harassing them with frivolous lawsuits, and convicting them as felons through...

The just-released data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics’s National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) shows violent crime has soared under Biden-Harris. If you look at rape, robbery, and aggravated assaults (the NCVS doesn’t measure murder), between 2016 and 2020, violent crime fell by 15% under Trump and soared by 55% under Biden between 2020 and 2023. The year before they became president and then how it had changed by the either the end of Trump’s president or the latest year for Biden-Harris. Even if you take the starting period for Biden as 2019 or the five-year average before COVID because...

In a major blow to the Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ), nearly half of all “obstruction” charges related to January 6th, 2021 have been dropped. As Just The News reports, the DOJ’s decision comes after a major ruling by the Supreme Court in June, which ruled that the “obstruction of an official proceeding” charge could not be used against protesters who were at the Capitol that day unless it can be explicitly proven that they were trying to stop the certification of the electoral votes from the 2020 election. The DOJ’s announcement saw the charges dropped from 60 of the...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Merrick Garland will denounce “conspiracy theories” and “dangerous falsehoods" targeting the Justice Department during a speech Thursday to employees as he forcefully pushes back against Republican claims of politicization.Garland will use a speech to U.S. attorneys gathered in Washington and other Justice Department members to vigorously defend the department's integrity and impartiality and to condemn what he describes as “outrageous” attacks that put law enforcement in harm's way. “These attacks have come in the form of conspiracy theories, dangerous falsehoods, efforts to bully and intimidate career public servants by repeatedly and publicly singling them out,...

Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed superseding indictments against former President Donald Trump, despite a federal judge previously ruling Smith was unlawfully appointed to pursue. Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland demanding to know who authorized this new indictment. In July, Judge Aileen Cannon ruled that Smith was unlawfully appointed to his prosecution of Trump for attempting to overturn the 2020 Election. As Fox News described, the prosecutor filed a new, amended indictment into a separate probe, which Rep. Gaetz suggests has even less legal validity in his letter. "It is unclear what...

The Justice Department issued a warning to states Monday to tread lightly in trying to clean up their election systems of bogus names and ineligible voters, firing a shot across the bow of GOP-led states that have been trying to erase noncitizens from their rolls. Department officials also released a web video pleading with people to come forward with stories if they think they have been “improperly” removed. In new guidance to states, the department said federal law allows states to clean their rolls, but it must be done within strict guidelines and only for approved reasons such as a...

The Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) arrested an illegal immigrant from Guatemala for impersonating Americans and voting in federal elections. 42-year-old Angelica Maria Francisco was taken into custody after it was revealed she had been illegally voting in both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections. She was charged with “false claims of citizenship in connection with voting, false statements in application for a United States passport, use of a United States passport obtained by false statements, and aggravated identity theft.” Francisco agreed to plead guilty to all charges. According to court documents, the illegal immigrant, who has been residing in...

The following is an excerpt from RealClearPublishing's new book by Joseph B. Sweeney, "Dangerous Injustice: How Democrats Weaponized the DOJ to Protect Biden and Persecute Trump." Examples of the Democratic Party’s corruption of the American justice system for political means can be traced back to at least former President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Continuing and escalating throughout Trump’s presidency, and after, the aggressive weaponization of federal law enforcement against Trump reached the unimaginable when on August 8, 2022, thirty Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agents, armed and authorized to use deadly force, raided the home of the former president...

The truth is, Russia isn’t interfering in the 2024 election nearly as much as Biden’s FBI and DOJ are right now.The Biden administration’s announcement this week that the Justice Department is taking action against alleged Kremlin-run websites and Russian state media employees as part of an effort to crack down on Russian “misinformation” ahead of the election should raise red flags — huge, obvious red flags.The biggest red flag is the timing of the indictment and accompanying announcement, just as mail-in ballots in some states are sent out and two weeks before in-person voting begins in some states. The only...

Where have we heard this before? The Biden administration is claiming that Russia has been actively interfering in the 2024 U.S. election by operating what it calls “sophisticated” campaigns to influence American voters. Democrats claimed that the election of Donald Trump to the presidency in 2016 was the result of “Russian collusion.” 51 former and current intelligence officials assured us that the 2020 presidential race was nearly tainted by “Russian disinformation.” Now we’re being told that the 2024 election cycle has been influenced by Russian opinion manipulation. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) isn’t persuaded by the latest claims of Russian...

Judge Tanya Chutkan acknowledged Thursday that appeals are certain no matter how she rules on pending immunity issues in former President Donald Trump’s Jan. 6 case. During the first hearing since the federal case was paused in December, attorneys argued about the timeline for handling a range of issues that must be resolved before moving forward... Trump’s attorney John Lauro emphasized there is no need to rush to judgement, but Chutkan responded that everybody knows her ruling will be appealed. “We’re hardly sprinting to a finish line here,” Chutkan said, noting it’s difficult to even contemplate a trial date with...

WASHINGTON (TND) — A senior official at the Department of Justice's Southern District of New York office claimed in an undercover video released Thursday the repeated prosecution of former President Donald Trump has devolved into a “perversion of justice." The clip by Mug Club Undercover shows Nicholas Biase commenting on the myriad of legal troubles facing Trump since leaving the White House, including his felony conviction for falsifying business records. This, he argued, has backfired as Trump continues to see strong polling. “They made him more relevant,” Biase said of Trump. “That’s why he’s surging in the polls. You know,...

Claims His Former Colleague Alvin Bragg's Case is "Nonsense" And Alleges He Was "Stacking Charges" “He[Alvin Bragg] was just stacking charges and rearranging things just to make it fit a case.” “I think the case is nonsense.”

A top Department of Justice spokesman in New York was caught on a hidden camera ripping Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for his recent prosecution of former President Donald Trump — accusing Bragg of conducting “lawfare” just to further his own political ambitions. Nicholas Biase, chief spokesman for the Manhattan US Attorney’s Office, was secretly recorded tearing into the progressive prosecutor during a recent conversation with a so-called undercover operative from conservative podcaster Steven Crowder’s “Mug Club.” “Honestly, I think the case is nonsense,” Biase was filmed saying to an unidentified woman on July 31 at what appears to be...

Russian operatives reportedly funneled money to a Tennessee-based company linked to conservative commentators with millions of subscribers on social media platforms. Tenet Media was the unnamed company in the Department of Justice's indictment that was unsealed in New York's Southern District on Wednesday, CNN reported. The Biden administration seized Kremlin-run websites and charged two Russian state media employees in its most sweeping effort yet to push back against what it says are Russian attempts to spread disinformation ahead of the November presidential election.

The real threat to America’s future isn’t coming from Moscow—it’s coming from Washington, D.C. In a bombshell video released by Louder with Crowder’s MugClub Undercover unit, new footage reveals an explosive admission from a senior Justice Department official, suggesting that the ongoing legal battles faced by former President Donald Trump are part of a politically motivated campaign orchestrated by the Deep State. The undercover video appears to show Nicholas Biase, Chief of Public Affairs for the U.S. Department of Justice in the Southern District of New York (SDNY), admitting that the slew of criminal charges against Trump is part of...

The U.S. Department of Justice on Wednesday said it disrupted Russian-directed foreign malign influence campaigns it referred to as “Doppelganger,” that sought to spread Russian government propaganda. The effort was meant to reduce international support for Ukraine, bolster pro-Russian policies, and influence voters in the U.S. and elsewhere, the Justice Department said. Separately, the DOJ accused two Russian employees of RT, the Russian state-owned media outlet, of a $10 million scheme to create and distribute content to U.S. audiences while keeping the connection to Russia hidden. RT worked with an online content creation company in Tennessee, which was directed to...
