It’s Bigly Hitting the Fan Week
American Thinker ^ | 20 Jul, 2025 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 07/20/2025 4:20:37 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The three biggest stories this week expose judicial hijinks, the willingness of the Wall Street Journal to publish defamatory anti-Trump nonsense in violation of all journalism ethics, and Tulsi Gabbard’s public declassification of material showing how President Obama worked from the moment of Trump’s 2016 election victory on to tar and hamstring him with made-up Russian influence lies.

Judicial Malfeasance

As usual, the most significant coverage of lefty judiciary hijinks is by Margot Cleveland. She uncovered a memo of a judicial conference in which the notorious D.C. judge James Boasberg confirmed to Chief Justice John Roberts the anti-Trump bias of that lower court, making clear they assumed that Trump would violate their orders. (Indeed, it’s my belief this is the hope of judges who enter preposterously over the top orders -- the hope that wearying of having to repeatedly seek higher court reprieves he will ignore those orders and give the Democrats fuel for yet another impeachment circus.)

In a memorandum obtained exclusively by The Federalist, a member of the Judicial Conference summarized the March [of this year] meeting, including a “working breakfast” at which Justice Roberts spoke. According to the memorandum, “District of the District of Columbia Chief Judge James Boasberg next raised his colleagues’ concerns that the Administration would disregard rulings of federal courts leading to a constitutional crisis.”

“Chief Justice Roberts expressed hope that would not happen and in turn no constitutional crisis would materialize,” according to the memorandum. The summary of the working breakfast added that Chief Justice Roberts noted that “his interactions with the President have been civil and respectful, such as the President thanking him at the state of the union address for administering the oath.”

Donald Trump, however, is not merely the president: He is a Defendant in scores of lawsuits

There has to be some consequence for these rogue judges. The democRATs won’t let them be impeached.

Number Three-——The Obama-directed RussiaGate Lie

DNI head Tulsi Gabbard declassified documents in her possession which, in her words “detail a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people and try to usurp the President from fulfilling his mandate.” Her entire presentation of the history of this seditious conspiracy which began on December 8, 2016 is neatly organized on this thread.

It’s true Devin Nunes and his then investigator Kash Patel uncovered this plot seven years ago, but without the ability then to declassify the documentation as Gabbard has done. She has transmitted all this material to the Department of Justice, and James Comey, James Clapper, and John Brennan should, if they have not yet done so, seek counsel in yet another boon for D.C.’s criminal defense attorneys. (It’s likely that the same white-shoe law firms that rushed to defend the thugs in Gitmo — but not the J 6 defendants — will volunteer some services and some independent funding will pour in to help, but they can’t be happy to be so publicly exposed and facing serious legal jeopardy.) And those further down who engaged in or covered up what they knew are unlikely to be so lucky. As for the “lightbringer,” check out the 2016 Trump swearing-in ceremony and watch Obama, who had already set in motion something no former president has ever done, sabotaging his successor. Knowing what he had set in motion just weeks before, even his adherents can never look at him in the same way again.

Jeff Childers explains what is so monumental about what Gabbard has done.

It defied every norm of intelligence conduct. The DNI normally never speaks publicly about ongoing investigations, it has never accused former administrations of treason (or any crime), and certainly does not weaponize the credibility of the office to ignite a public reckoning. This marks the first time in modern history that the intelligence community’s internal coup (if proven) has been openly exposed by its own leadership, transforming the IC from a shield into a spotlight, and potentially rewriting the entire post-9/11 national security order. [snip] Here’s a list of all the records Tulsi just shattered, in a single Twitter thread and 124 pages of declassified documents. And this list is only what I could think of as of this morning:

1. First sitting Director of National Intelligence to publicly accuse former intelligence leaders of a treasonous conspiracy (or any crime).

2. First time a DNI declassified internal IC assessments, memos, and emails during an active DOJ referral.

3. First full publication of an aborted Presidential Daily Brief (PDB) draft that contradicted an official narrative.

4. First evidence-based accusation that the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) was politicized by presidential directive.

5. First direct public attribution of intelligence manipulation to a sitting president — Barack Obama — by name, not just implication.

6. First official public confirmation that the Steele Dossier was used in the 2017 ICA, despite internal dissent and known credibility issues.

7. First use of a Twitter thread as an official vehicle for declassifying national intelligence — turning social media into a disclosure mechanism.

8. First coordinated public release of IC whistleblower complaints, dissenting analyst emails, and interagency meeting notes in a single drop.

9. First breach of the classified means credible doctrine — by showing how classification was weaponized to create false public certainty. This one has many legs.

10. First dismantling of the we can’t comment on ongoing investigations playbook by someone inside the intel chain of command.

11. First time the post-Trump impeachment “insurrection” narrative has been turned against the intelligence agencies that constructed it.

12. First voluntary public declassification of internal IC meeting notes confirming political coordination of IC messaging — without subpoenas and before the usual years of Congressional hearings and wrangling.

We know that Devin Nunes, and his then-investigator, Kash Patel, uncovered this plot seven years ago....... but without the ability to declassify the documentation as Gabbard has done.

Trump appointee Gabbard transmitted all this highly incriminating material to the Department of Justice.

James Comey, James Clapper, and John Brennan should, if they have not yet done so, seek counsel in yet another boon for DC’s criminal defense attorneys.

Thank God for inspiring His righteous believers to strive for truth. In hindsight we see the Good Lord gave these evil demons enough time and rope to hang themselves. It has been a long slog for His faithful people. The Lord truly works in mysterious ways, ways his people cannot fathom. Trust in the Lord for He is all knowing and in control.

Trump’s astute DNI head, Tulsi Gabbard, declassified documents in her possession which, in her words “detail a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest levels of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people.

The nefarious Obama/Hillary cabal tried to usurp the powers of newly
elected President Trump to prevent him from fulfilling his election mandate.

Gabbard’s entire presentation of the history of this seditious conspiracy which began on December 8, 2016 is neatly organized on this thread.

If there are trials, and they are held in the District of Columbia, the defendants will be completely exonerated. The left wing judges who hear the case will bar evidence and facilitate legal maneuvering by the defense. Witnesses against the defendants will be threatened indirectly and possibly directly. The jury the judge permits to be selected with be highly biased against the Trump administration and prosecutors. The media will daily run pro defendant stories and anti-Trump vitriol which the jury members will lap up. The deck will be stacked in favor of acquittal. Should any impartial juror slip through the selection process, and have the courage to vote for conviction, there will be a hung jury. Plus ANTIFA and other leftist groups may be turned loose on the streets to create mayhem.

If Bondi and the DOJ cannot find a reason to move the trial to a state where an impartial judge and jury can be selected, there is no reason to go through the agony of a trial.

I would think that the attempted overthrow of a duly elected potus by an outgoing potus ought to be story #1!

If any of the spying on Trump happened in Mar a Lago, then why can't they hold the trials in FL?

And even if homobama is somehow immune from prosecution, that doesn't mean Clapper, Comey, and Brennan are immune.

If the feckless Bondi and the DOJ cannot find a reason to move the Obama cabal trial to a state where an impartial judge and jury can be selected, there is no reason to go through the agony of an execrable trial in DC where they will be found “not guilty.”


Agreed

I keep telling myself, as others have reassured us, that the deep state will defend itself to the point of forcing us into WW3 to avoid exposure, trials, convictions, imprisonment or death sentences (which our US Constitution calls for DIRECTLY for the high crime of Treason), IOW, no matter how much we wish for justice, it just ain’t going to happen.

THEN, Tulsi Gabbard.

Mind blowing. But will Pam Bondi do the right thing or keep covering for criminals in our government?

“It’s Bigly Hitting the Fan Week”

It probably is true. Then two weeks from now Barbie will have black-holed everything and nothing more will be said or done about any of the corruption.

I’ll never forget the look on Nunes’ face when he came out of that room, having learned the truth.

It seems it was shortly after that that Ryan 86ed him from certain responsibilities — neutered him.

“If there are trials, and they are held in the District of Columbia, the defendants will be completely exonerated.”

I think these crimes are Federal crimes, so probably Judge Jeanine will prosecute. She has a good track record of winning her cases, so possibly she can pull off another win even with d DC jury.

But it seems that treason is the crime here, so I’m hoping it is tried in military court. If Barbie decides to make it simply a case in a regular DC court, then we can be sure that she was in on it, too. (I have never trusted her; I don’t trust her now. Trump shouldn’t, either.)
