The DOJ, FBI, and IRS in Trump's first term seemed to let a large number of Trump antagonists off the hook for their potential criminality. It remains to be seen how the second Trump DOJ will handle possible high-profile prosecutions.

The Justice Department, FBI, and IRS during the first Trump administration slow-walked, declined to aggressively pursue, or squashed investigations into potential criminal behavior by James Comey, Hillary Clinton and her Clinton Foundation, now Sen. Adam Schiff, Hunter Biden, and other politically-sensitive figures.

A host of declassifications published by Just the News in recent weeks have revealed new details about these investigations by the DOJ, FBI, and IRS — including previously unknown details about how many of these inquiries were delayed or ground to a halt during President Donald Trump’s first term in office.

Newly-declassified records detail evidence that since-fired FBI Director Comey approved leaking classified information despite his denials to the contrary, including using his lieutenants and friends to leak to the media. 

New allegations about how then-Rep. and now-Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., may have leaked classified information to hurt Trump as well also surfaced, as well as new information on how inquiries into the Clinton Foundation were shut down. The Trump DOJ declined to pursue prosecutions in any of these matters.

The IRS investigation into now-former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, was also first slow-walked by the DOJ during the first Trump administration, according to whistleblowers. And special counsel John Durham — appointed by then-Attorney General William Barr — did not pursue prosecutions against members of the intelligence community or FBI (except for Kevin Clinesmith), despite the politicized nature of the Trump-Russia investigation.

Bureaucrats involved in this sabotage should all lose their jobs. They aren’t getting paid to hide criminal activity. They may think they are, but they aren’t.

Do not despair - God desires His people to storm and possess the gates, but the Adversary won't go down easily.

Jeff Sessions and Bill Barr are deep state operatives. Mike Pence too.

And I still don’t trust Mike Johnston or Thune.

The counting of votes was halted and Brandon votes were inserted. Who called that shot?

It’s a shame they buffaloed Trump his first term; he simply underestimated the filth of the deep state. But what the devil meant for evil, God has turned to good. Trump is absolutely on fire this time, and has accomplished more in 8 months than most presidents accomplish in 8 years. Praise. The. LORD!
