What a Week!
American Thinker ^ | 12 Oct, 2025 | Clarice Feldman

This was an incredible week for news, and I am going to discuss just three of what I consider the most important events: The ongoing investigations and criminal indictments; the shutdown of the government, and the ceasefire and return of the hostages in Gaza.

The Ongoing Criminal Investigations

Letitia James, the New York attorney general who confected a criminal case for financial fraud against President Trump has herself been charged with criminal mortgage frauds. Former head of the FBI James Comey has been indicted by a Virginia grand jury for making a false statement to Congress and obstructing a congressional investigation.

Reasoned speculation is that former national security adviser John Bolton will be indicted in Maryland for potential violations of the Espionage Act this week.

Also rumored to be subjects of criminal investigations are former FBI head Christopher Wray, former Attorney General Merrick Garland, and Jack Smith, former special counsel. (It was revealed this week that Smith tracked the private communications and calls of nearly a dozen GOP senators during his J6 investigation. It was also recently revealed that 274 FBI agents were part of the J6 crowd and likely instigated the crowd to enter the Capitol. If that was not their purpose, what were they doing there? There are suggestions that some of them are talking to congressional investigators.) The list of targets keeps growing:

Paul Sperry reports that Mueller deputy Andrew Weissman is among those under scrutiny, for participation in a judicial proceeding in which he had a financial interest.

It’s not just these prominent figures -- the Administration is reviewing the financial files of Antifa with an eye to prosecuting those who funded this terrorist outfit.

In sum, we are looking at a criminal defense attorneys’ pot of gold.

The Shutdown

"A day before the agreement the UN was falsely claiming starvation in Gaza. The minute the agreement was signed fat Gazans reported they had sufficient food to feed everyone there for three months."

The Turks want sanctions relief, the F-35 stealth fighter, new F-16s, and greater cooperation with the US.

That's the part of the deal I have the most problem with. We shouldn't empower the sick man of Europe.

“Worse, by flooding Medicaid rolls with millions of new recipients”

Obamacare needs to be repealed and replaced by the market. Makes me mad to think of what the rat John McCain said after blocking its repeal, “Let’s see Trump make America great again now.” Despicable.

Espionage Act has very few misdemeanor level crimes.

My mom says he is guilty because of his mustache. “Any facial hair just means they got something to hide!”
