CIA Director John Ratcliffe appears on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the recent releases from his office and from the office of DNI Tulsi Gabbard. Within the interview Director Ratcliffe references the special counsel John Durham investigation, subsequent 306-page report, and then notes the 48-page classified appendix to the report. According to Ratcliffe he is in the process of declassifying and releasing the 48-page annex. Additionally, there are witness transcripts from Hillary Clinton, John Brennan, James Clapper and possibly Andrew McCabe that could be released. Remember, James Comey refused to be interviewed by John Durham; however, Andrew McCabe...

Paul Sperry @paulsperry_ BREAKING: Senate Intel ranking Dem Mark Warner turned away an intel analyst who worked on the ICA & approached his office "numerous times" to blow whistle on CIA Dir Brennan juicing bad intel on Russia and Trump, but Warner refused to even give him email address to send evidence. 7:25 PM · Jul 26, 2025

President Trump should have purged every single Obama appointee down to the city dog catcher. It is nothing short of astonishing that not one FBI agent came forward and spoke out against this treasonous plot. These agencies are irretrievably broken. …this entire operation was a deliberate and direct attack on the foundation of American governance. As for Barack Hussein Obama, he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and hounded like our great President has been hounded for the past four years. Obama, Biden Oval Office Meeting On January 5 Was Key To Entire Anti-Trump Operation...

Interesting to see terrorist sympathizer Maher Bitar’s name on the participants list of this NSC meeting [December 9, 2016 in Obama's White House Situation Room] where the Russia Hoax conspirators hatched their plan. Shortly after this PC [Principals Committee meeting of the National Security Council], Bitar would leave the executive branch to go work on HPSCI [House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence] for disgraced former Congressman Schiff. It would appear that through Bitar, Obama was able to continue, after his term ended, his illegal attempts to take down @realDonaldTrump @EzraACohen July 18, 2025

Paul Sperry @paulsperry_ Brennan, Clapper, Comey and McCabe engaged in a conspiracy to commit perjury by lying in unison to the: -- HPSCI -- SSCI -- Special Counsel's Office -- DOJ IG -- House Judiciary -- Senate Judiciary -- House Oversight 3:12 PM · Jul 10, 2025

Have you considered that you simply don't hate the press enough? If you think you do, you might find yourself reconsidering after reading this latest story. As RedState reported, a pro-Palestinian terrorist in Colorado threw Molotov cocktails at peaceful marchers as they silently remembered the hostages being held by Hamas. The attack took place in Boulder, injuring at least five people. Police arrested Mohamad Soliman at the scene, with videos showing him shouting "Palestine is free" and "end Zionists" as he attempted to burn innocent people alive. In the aftermath of such an attack, you'd hope that press outlets would...

You’d think an elderly woman getting burned alive at a pro-Israel event by a man hurling Molotov cocktails while screaming “This will end when Palestine is free” would be universally condemned as terrorism. But this is 2025, with the media’s moral compass still spinning wildly and antisemitism extremely fashionable on the political left. So, instead of acknowledging the obvious, CNN went into full denial mode the moment the FBI under Director Kash Patel called the Boulder firebombing exactly what it was: a targeted terror attack. Despite the local police chief declining to confirm whether the Boulder attack was targeted, the...

During the Senate Judiciary Committee’s interview of attorney general nominee William Barr last Tuesday, committee chairman Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) asked: “Are there rules on how you can do counterintelligence investigations in the FBI?” Barr replied, “I believe there are.” Indeed there are, Mr. Barr. There are very specific rules governing the FBI’s ability to initiate and conduct counterintelligence investigations. These rules bear the title of the role you soon may take on for the second time. They are referred to as the “Attorney General Guidelines,” or AGG. Please read and understand them. This may seem like a basic request...

Washington, D.C. – In a bombshell report released Tuesday, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence accused the FBI of deliberately downplaying the politically motivated 2017 shooting that nearly killed House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and injured several others. The shooter, James Hodgkinson, was a far-left extremist who opened fire on Republican congressmen practicing for the annual charity baseball game—but the FBI called it “suicide by cop.” That decision, the report says, wasn’t just wrong—it was dishonest. The 27-page unclassified report, compiled from more than 3,000 pages of FBI records recently turned over by new Director Kash Patel, reveals that...

The FBI botched its investigation of the 2017 congressional baseball shooting — downplaying the gunman’s anti-GOP motives*** The House Judiciary Committee, *** released the scathing, unclassified report on its findings Tuesday after combing through roughly 3,000 case file documents it was given last month on the attack that wounded six, including current House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.), and led to the death of gunman James T. Hodgkinson. “This is the same FBI that can’t tell us who planted the pipe bomb [on Jan. 6, 2021], who can’t tell us who leaked the Dobbs opinion and who can tell us...

Newly-declassified memos written by disgraced FBI official Andrew McCabe shine new light on how he kept the Trump-Russia collusion hoax investigation alive during a critical period in the first half of 2017 before he got it handed off to a special counsel. The eight memos penned by McCabe, most of which had never been released until earlier this month, span his discussions and meetings (including with President Donald Trump) held from January 24, 2017 to May 21, 2017 — a critical time period ranging from just before the FBI sprung an interview on retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn to just...

IMMEDIATELY ARREST FOR CONSPIRACY TO OVERTHROW THE USG THE FOLLOWING AND BRING THEM IN FOR QUESTIONING: @BarackObama @JohnBrennan Jim Clapper (he’ll talk) Susan Rice Jim Comey (he’ll talk) Andrew McCabe (he’ll talk) This is full blown Treason! Yes, you’re damn right, I’m biased about this but if these people aren’t held accountable, they’ll do it again and again and again. These are communist thugs who use the idea of the ends justifying the means. But what is at grave risk is our country. The United States of America will only remain great if we maintain two examples our founders showed...

The top brass in the FBI and intelligence community were determined to stop President Trump from winning the White House in 2016, and they talked about removing him from office months after he was sworn in, according to newly released documents. The zeal to pin Russian collusion allegations on Mr. Trump spilled out of the 700 pages of emails, memos, interviews and other material connected to the 2016 “Crossfire Hurricane” probe that were newly made public by the Trump administration. Some of the material is familiar, released in 2021 by Mr. Trump on the final day of his first term....

The FBI under Andrew McCabe labeled the 2017 congressional baseball game shooting "suicide by cop" rather than domestic terrorism. Left-wing activist James Hodgkinson specifically targeted Republicans for murder, but the FBI under Chris Wray reversed that decision years later, but stonewalled disclosure. Now, Kash Patel is promising transparency. FBI Director Kash Patel announced this week that he had handed over to Congress long-sought bureau records related to the 2017 congressional baseball game shooting following years of House Republicans arguing the bureau was stonewalling on why it had labeled the attack “suicide by cop” instead of domestic terrorism. James Hodgkinson, an...

FBI agents lost their security clearances and jobs after blowing the whistle on the Biden-era and Chris Wray-led bureau. Now their lawyers are asking the Trump FBI, led by Kash Patel, to address their complaints.. FBI agents who blew the whistle on “wrongdoing” within the bureau — including one agent saying he wants to share further information about working under disgraced FBI official Peter Strzok — are calling upon the bureau, now led by Kash Patel, to review and resolve their claims of retaliation by Biden's FBI. Empower Oversight sent an early March letter to FBI general counsel Samuel Ramer,...

Former FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok has cleared his X account as Trump nominee Kash Patel advances toward confirmation as FBI Director. Over the weekend, Strzok’s social media presence on X was wiped, removing posts and interactions from his account. The timing has raised questions... One of the most notable messages from August 15, 2016, referenced an “insurance policy” against a Trump victory. Strzok wrote to Page: “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office…that there’s no way [Trump] gets elected…but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk.”

On Tuesday evening President Trump announced he created a new Intelligence Advisory Board tasked with advancing his “America First” agenda. The new advisory board will advise Trump on national security issues. Truth Social CEO Devin Nunes will serve as the chairman. ABC News reported: The White House announced on Tuesday the formation of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board, tasked with advising President Donald Trump on national security challenges and advancing the administration’s “America First” agenda. Devin Nunes, chief executive officer of the Trump Media & Technology Group, which runs Truth Social, will serve as chairman. His general counsel, Scott Glabe,...

What do we have here, a banana republic? According to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem: The FBI is so corrupt. We will work with any and every agency to stop leaks and prosecute these crooked deep state agents to the fullest extent of the law. https://t.co/HNW1ujf0Gd — Secretary Kristi Noem (@Sec_Noem) February 9, 2025Things like this, where the army fights the navy, are exactly what happen in a night-haunted tinpot dictatorship.If what Noem says is right, this is an amazing breach of professionalism at the FBI, leaking news of raids to the press in order to undermine another federal agency.It's...

The feds are still lying and obfuscating about the Russiagate conspiracy against Donald Trump: Witness the recent release, years late and heavily redacted, of a document about the origin of the FBI probe. This comes to light thanks only to the dogged efforts of the folks at RealClearInvestigations. The biggest thing the Bureau is still hiding: The “articulable factual basis” on which its 2017 probe of Trump’s alleged role as a Russian intelligence asset was legitimated. ...
