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...

John Bolton's bombshell memoir contains new instances of alleged misconduct by President Trump – including agreeing to back off criminal probes as 'personal favors' to certain dictators. The book also contains a claim that Trump pleaded with Chinese President Xi Jinping to boost U.S. food purchases, describing it in terms of his own election. Trump regularly touts a deal to pause the China trade war as one of his chief accomplishments. A new book excerpt obtained by the New York Times contains the claim about the criminal probes. Bolton writes that in cases involving China and Turkey, Trump was willing...

One lesson from the ongoing scandal is that it lifted the curtain of foreign governments’ covert influence campaigns in the United States. Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop revealed much information, including Hunter’s shady business dealings in Ukraine and China, raising questions about the extent to which President Biden was involved in his son’s business activities. This ongoing scandal lifted the curtain of foreign governments’ covert influence campaigns in the United States. No government has conducted such influence campaigns more effectively than Communist China. To understand China’s influence campaigns on foreign soil, one has to get familiar with a secretive Chinese government...

a Democrat whistleblower told the FBI in 2017 that Adam Schiff okayed leaking classified documents with the intent to harm President Trump. This same Democrat whistleblower told the FBI agents from the agency’s St. Louis office again in 2023 that he personally attended a meeting at which Schiff authorized leaking classified information. The FBI brass did nothing. Chris Wray did nothing. The FBI under Chris Wray allowed these criminal acts to take place. Chris Wray has a long record of allowing the bureau to engage in criminal acts under his direction. Here are a few of Chris Wray’s notable lawless...

Neal Katyal, who helped draft the special counsel rules as a Justice Department lawyer in the late 1990s, said Friday that Attorney General William Barr can and should release special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report. Katyal, in an op-ed in The Washington Post, wrote that there are no regulations preventing Barr from publicizing Mueller’s findings, which were delivered to Barr late Friday afternoon. “The public has every right to see Robert S. Mueller III’s conclusions. Absolutely nothing in the law or the regulations prevents the report from becoming public. Indeed, the relevant sources of law give Attorney General P. William...

In a case of strange bedfellows, William Barr, former U.S. attorney general to President Donald Trump, has teamed up with Fani Willis, the Democratic prosecutor who tried the president before being tossed off the case, to try and take Trump down. A whistleblower in the investigation has alleged that Barr conspired with Willis to stop Trump’s return to the White House through her prosecution, which saw the president and 18 co-defendants charged with attempting to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results. Barr, whistleblower Patrícia Lélis said, joined Willis and other participants like media figure Armstrong Williams for secret meetings in Washington,...

New evidence including emails, notes, and texts expose that they both worked in conjunction to target and prosecute President Trump. Take a wild guess who Bill Barr’s father, "Donald Barr," was close to and hired while he was Headmaster at the Dalton school? Jeffery Epstein. You just can't make this stuff up.

The U.S. attorney from Connecticut assigned by Attorney General William Barr to look into the origins of the Obama-era “Spygate” probe is reportedly examining documents generated by a “fusion cell” of officials established by former CIA Director John Brennan. John Durham, who specializes in official corruption cases, has been looking into the origins of the Spygate probe for several weeks now. In a tweet Wednesday, investigative reporter Paul Sperry noted, “According to Main DOJ sources, Durham’s portfolio for looking into the provenance of CH includes examining docs generated by an interagency ‘fusion cell’ Brennan set up in mid-2016 on Russian...

Reactions have come fast and hard following Kash Patel's nomination to lead the FBI. Donald Trump made the selection amid years of corruption and abuse within the nation's top law enforcement agency, citing Patel's role in uncovering the Russian collusion hoax. To be sure, though, his resume extends much further, having held numerous high-level positions in the Pentagon, DOJ, and NSC. Anyone claiming he's not "qualified" is simply not telling the truth. Still, some are trying to make that case by sharing a quote from Bill Barr's 2022 tell-all book in which he trashed Patel as having "virtually no experience...

One of the most disturbing scandals of the Hunter Biden saga is the imprisonment without trial of former FBI informant Alexander Smirnov. The Ukrainian-born Israeli-American, who once told his FBI handler about Ukrainian claims of a $10 million bribe to the Bidens, has been languishing in a Los Angeles prison for nine months on charges that he lied to the FBI. Last week, federal prosecutors slapped new tax-evasion charges on Smirnov, 43, which suggests they know their original indictment is too weak for a jury to convict him when he faces trial beginning Jan. 8. Smirnov was one of the...

Every once in a while, you come across a clip that sends chills down your spine and perfectly sums up the fight we’re in. This is one of those videos. .....Here is Bill Barr, Trump’s own AG, last August praising Jack Smith and his pathetic partisan cases, while absolutely railing against Trump.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr, who served in President-elect Trump's first administration, is calling on prosecutors at the state and federal levels to dismiss the pending legal cases against Trump before he takes office once again. Barr told Fox News Digital that voters were well aware of all the allegations against Trump when electing him to a second term in office on Tuesday, and that it is in the country's best interest for prosecutors to listen to them. "The American people have rendered their verdict on President Trump, and decisively chosen him to lead the country for the next four...

Every man has a hobby or two. Some, like stamp collecting or bowling, reveal very little about his character. Others ... well, let me point you in the direction of Donald Barr, father of former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr. When Donald wasn’t doing his 9-to-5 work as headmaster at the exclusive New York City private school Dalton, he was busy writing some rather peculiar science fiction. His 1973 novel, "Space Relations: A Slightly Gothic Interplanetary Tale," envisions a universe where the elite indulge in the most depraved of activities. On the planet Kossar, trafficking, sexual debauchery, and the enslavement...

,big>Antisemitism isn’t borne of ignorance at my alma mater. Antisemitism is taught there.Reading the report issued last month by Columbia University’s Task Force on Antisemitism, one could be forgiven for thinking that it describes the University of Heidelberg circa 1933. It contains accounts of observant Jews being harassed and assaulted, and open calls for the murder of Jews. But no, this is not Nazi Germany. This is the Upper West Side of Manhattan in 2024. There—in one of the nation’s most elite enclaves of higher learning—the oldest hatred is alive and well, gussied up in academic robes. The admittedly “serious...

Bill Barr is plugged into, and gets his marching ­orders from, a network of reactionary Catholics, whose tentacles reach into the highest echelons of power. At the center is a sinister, secretive organization with a Latin name: Opus Dei, “the Work of God.” That’s the impression you might take away from a new profile of the attorney general in The New Yorker. All that’s missing are the hair shirts, cilices and murderous albino monks — the kind of thing too many secular elites believe about the lives of devout ­Catholics generally and members of Opus Dei especially. The winding and...
