Former Rep. Darrell Issa and conservative group Judicial Watch are challenging California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s executive order for an all mail-in ballot election. Judicial Watch filed the suit in a Sacramento district court Thursday on behalf of Issa to block Newsom’s order, which would send absentee ballots to all registered voters, Politico reported. Issa is running for former Rep. Duncan Hunter’s seat in the wake of his resignation. California is the first state this year to move to an all vote-by-mail election because of the coronavirus. While Democrats lauded the executive order, Republicans have raised concerns over voter fraud.

The EC was obtained as a result of Judicial Watch’s FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) lawsuit against the FBI and Department of Justice. The electronic communication was dated July 31, 2016 and was written by former FBI official Peter Strzok — a Hillary superfan who hates Trump, as he expressed in countless text messages with his former mistress, FBI attorney Lisa Page. The redacted document appears to prove that the illegal surveillance of Trump campaign aides was started on the basis of unsubstantiated, third-hand gossip speculating that Russia might have wanted Donald Trump to win in 2016.

(Washington, DC) Judicial Watch announced today that it received the “electronic communication” (EC) that officially launched the counterintelligence investigation, termed “Crossfire Hurricane,” of President Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:19-cv-02743)). The redacted document details seeming third hand information that the Russian government “had been...

There is no shortage of examples nationwide that confirm illegal immigrant sanctuary policies endanger communities and this month we have a case that should serve as the poster child. Not surprisingly, it comes out of California but even for a notorious sanctuary state it seems excessive. An illegal alien with a lengthy criminal history that includes convictions for felony sex with a minor and battery was released by San Francisco authorities six times despite his violent history that also includes a domestic violence arrest. The 25-year-old Honduran man, Kristian Jonas Gamez-Trejo, has long appeared on Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE)...

After a trifecta of wins in the last two weeks which include the unsealing of Flynn exculpatory evidence, the dismissal of the case against Gen. Flynn, and the release of House Intelligence Committee transcripts proving Trump/Russian collusion was nonexistent, a new narrative is forming. This time, it’s coming from the right and maybe even from the honest few on the left. It’s becoming more and more credible that President Obama was not only aware of the coup against candidate, then President, Donald Trump, he was in on it. If rumors are correct, a “bombshell” revelation is coming this week which...

It took a global pandemic for the Los Angeles Veterans Affairs to offer a few vets temporary housing on a sprawling parcel deeded to the federal government over a century ago for the specific purpose of caring for disabled military veterans. Thousands of veterans have long lived on the streets surrounding the lush facility in West L.A., yet the VA has been derelict in its duty to help them. With the COVID-19 crisis deeply impacting the region’s vast homeless population, the VA finally erected several small tents in the parking lot of its healthcare system campus to accommodate a couple...

Federal Prisons Ignore Terrorist Risk Federal Prisons Ignore Terrorist Risk The Bureau of Prisons, the same organization that was responsible for the safekeeping of Jeffrey Epstein, is back in the news again. This week, our Corruption Chronicles blog reports that the agency is failing to adequately monitor the communications of prisoners with terrorist ties. Additionally, the bureau failed to fulfill the FBI’s request for lists of convicts with terrorist ties who were set to be released. The nation’s federal prison system is supposed to keep America safe by, among other things, monitoring all social communications of high-risk inmates, especially...

More evidence confirms more FBI and Mueller gang lies and cover ups.

This indicates the meeting should have been recorded in a form 302 but the FBI continues to claim no records related to Seth Rich are available! Previously we reported that after getting caught lying to the Courts and claiming there were no documents related to Seth Rich, emails between FBI Deep State lovers...
