A top Republican senator whose phone toll records were secretly subpoenaed during Jack Smith's investigation of President Donald Trump sued the former special counsel in his personal capacity Wednesday, arguing he was never lawfully empowered to wield the authority behind the Arctic Frost investigation. The lawsuit, Senator Marsha Blackburn v. John L. Smith, argues the prosecutor lacked lawful authority to serve as special counsel and violated the lawmaker's rights by obtaining the records. Blackburn is asking a federal court to declare Smith's appointment unconstitutional, order the records destroyed and award $1 in nominal damages. The case therefore seeks to test...

Vyacheslav Volodin said the US abandoned genuine elections, voting by mailMOSCOW, September 30. /TASS/. US President Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election over Donald Trump through fraud, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin has said, arguing that, unlike in the United States, democracy in Russia is genuine. "Our democracy is not contrived, unlike in the West, in the United States. They abandoned genuine elections; they vote by mail, yet there are not even voters’ return addresses. It is nothing but fraud. Trump suffered, and Biden overtook him last time thanks to that fraud," Volodin said at the first plenary session...

I ignored the written description of filtering the other night,” Molly Gaston messaged her fellow federal prosecutor, J.P. Cooney, in the early days of the post-2020 election targeting of President Donald Trump, documents obtained exclusively by The Federalist reveal. “Me too,” Cooney replied, showing that two of the attorneys whom Jack Smith would later choose to lead the special counsel team disregarded rules when judged “not tenable.” And additional documents whistleblowers provided Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, confirm the special counsel office ignored the protocol established to protect privileged documents. Monday afternoon, in advance of Jack Smith’s Tuesday testimony before the...

I hate to say this but President Barack Obama - there's now incontrovertable evidence that he was the spearhead of a seditious conspiracy to subvert the will of the American people and overthrow the United States government back in 2016.We must, absolutely must, hold every one of these criminals accountable for the crimes that they committed.They are the most heinous crimes committed in American history.James Comey.John Brennan.Clapper.Rice.Biden was in the meeting in July 28th in the Oval Office.

Former Trump staffer Michael Caputo endured a decade of lawfare that he says forced him out of his home and gave him cancer from all the stress. But just when he thought the Russiagate nightmare was over, he was slapped in the face this month with a lawsuit cooked up by a former DOJ lawyer from the “national security” unit that hounded him and other Trump associates over alleged foreign agent violations without laying a single charge. It’s a simple $100,000 contract dispute case, but Jack Korba, formerly a prosecutor in the small national security section of the District of...

US officials embraced an algorithm for detecting signals of harm from mRNA covid-19 vaccines that they knew was broken and suppressed efforts to fix it.

“Everyone is retarded and nothing Works.” Turns out that’s the key to unlock the mystery of this particular Fourth Turning, the one here and now, of our own time. It’s an excellent theory of everything happening these days, formulated by a close colleague of mine. And as far as I know, it’s the only theory that makes sense. It explains, for example how and why consulting US attorney Joe DiGenova quit the grand jury investigation, as conducted by the DOJ in the Southern District of Florida (SDFL), of the treasonous conspiracy against the people of the USA running since 2016.The...

The FBI has now released its eighth tranche of files on Thomas Matthew Crooks — the 20-year-old who came within an inch of killing Donald Trump in Butler, Penn. Like the earlier drops, this one is 181 pages of interview summaries, invoices, evidence logs, and internal communications from FBI Pittsburgh. It’s heavily redacted, and 95 pages are withheld outright. In June I went through the fifth tranche, and found that the redactions said more than the visible text. What survives the redactors is still stranger than most of what you’ve heard about this case on television. Here’s what stood out...

An “anonymous donor” paid for the cremation of President Trump’s would-be assassin, Thomas Crooks, just days after the deadly Butler, Pa., rally shooting, according to federal records reviewed by The Post. The revelation was included in a trove of documents provided to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), as part of his ongoing inquiry into the first Trump assassination attempt. “Anonymous donor paid for cremation,” reads a note at the end of a summary of an interview the gunman’s father, Matthew, conducted with federal investigators. The information appears to have been gleaned from a lawyer for the family, according...

🚨 HUGE JUSTICE WIN! President Trump just announced Michael Cohen, the prosecution’s star witness and in reality the only witness in the New York AG and Manhattan DA witch hunts, has fully RECANTED. Not clarified. Not walked back. RECANTED. Pressured. Coerced. Said things that were not true. Trump is demanding every remnant of those politically weaponized cases be terminated and dismissed. Letitia James and Alvin Bragg built the whole thing on a witness who now says it was wrong and unlawful. Such a thing can never be allowed to happen again.

Svetlana Lokhova@RealSLokhova October 27, 2019I flew to NYC at my own expense to give very important testimony to the American people on Maria Bartiromo’s show. I stayed in a hotel near the studio, again at my own expense. This was during the Special Counsel Durham investigation, which I assisted.I am an eyewitness to the Grand Conspiracy against President Trump, which started in 2015, directed by Obama and implemented by the CIA, MI6, the FBI, and the media.I spoke to Maria and her producers for weeks in advance to make sure they understood the importance of the story. I was not...

Will Letitia James face any consequences for using the Attorney General's office to persecute political opponents? Or will voters in New York reward her for doing, well, pretty much what she explicitly promised to accomplish?I know which way I'm betting.Two days ago, one of James' assistant AGs went public to accuse her of ordering political vendettas, almost all of them without cause. The New York Post's editorial board called Daniel Wiesenfeld "the Whistleblower of the Year," but perhaps he might end up as the Jeremiah of the Empire State. Make no mistake, though – these allegations would certainly be abuses...

Anthony Fauci’s division at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) provided cover for sensitive CIA research on bioterrorism threats, according to documents obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. An undated interagency agreement between the CIA and Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) appears to shed light on the origins of the institute’s involvement in biodefense. The CIA’s Biological Technology Center (BTC) initiated the collaboration on “forensic microbiology” on bioterrorism bugs for the intelligence community (IC). CIA funds would be used to leverage pre-existing civilian research efforts in a way that would benefit both CIA and NIH,...

The Census Bureau’s own Post-Enumeration Survey, the internal audit that checks the official count against a sample of households, found that Tennessee was undercounted by 4.78%, Florida by 3.48%, and Texas by 1.92%. On the other side of the ledger, Delaware was overcounted by 5.45%, Rhode Island by 5.05%, and New York by 3.44%, with Hawaii and Minnesota padded as well. These figures are the Bureau’s own, and they are not rounding artifacts. A 3.48% miss in a state of 22 million people is roughly 750,000 residents who were never recorded. The Bureau published these figures, described them as...

It didn’t happen all at once, but the timelines and the new document dumps paint a disturbing picture of what we knew would appear on the canvas long before Trump’s second presidency and the disclosures that exposed the whole deep state circus. We have former presidents, including Obama, ordering intelligence assessments to thread in Russian collusion nonsense; a former CIA director who lied about how the Steele Dossier, the document responsible for this hoax, was used in analyzing the intelligence; and the media’s incessant and destructive crusade to make this ruse legitimate. They failed because there was no evidence, and...

Three officials working in the U.S. Secret Service communications office were placed on administrative leave and stripped of their security clearances Monday, pending an investigation reportedly involving the CIA and FBI. While the Secret Service has not officially disclosed the names of the individuals or the specific nature of the allegations, multiple reports indicate the probe involves leaked classified or sensitive information to the media. According to RealClearPolitics reporter Susan Crabtree, controversial Chief of Communications Anthony Guglielmi is among the three officials placed on leave. Guglielmi and the other officials were reportedly escorted out of their offices in Washington D.C....

A major theme of President Trump’s critics is that he is corrupt. As a couple of examples, here is Elizabeth Warren on July 26 calling Trump “the most corrupt president of the United States any time in American history”; and here is a piece from the Guardian on August 11 calling Trump’s second term “the most openly corrupt” presidency ever. There are hundreds more where those came from. But is there anything to this? As long time readers here are aware, my view is that politics is inherently corrupt. In this way, politics differs from business, because in business it...

I note over at Townhall the always-worthwhile Matt Vespa's latest, wherein we read:President Trump was interviewed by his former attorney, Michael Cohen, the star witness in the hush money case, which verdict is under appeal. Trump said Cohen was weaponized against him by the Justice Department. Cohen agrees, adding that he felt coerced by the Feds. The case stems from the president's effort to pay adult film star Stormy Daniels $130,000 during the 2016 election.CNN legal analyst Elie Honig effectively pronounced the case dead, leaving its former cheerleaders with nothing but a pile of sad confetti. There's a reason federal...

Lead Anchor at CNN Jake Tapper comes out and admits THEY ALL KNEW Joe Biden wasn’t really President and calling the shots. He says there was an elite inner circle of advisors who would make the decisions and “steer the country.” He gives the names of the people in that group. Again, the mainstream media ALL KNEW Joe Biden wasn’t making decisions. “Tell me about the word choice, and then tell me about those people who were really calling the shots around the president.” Jake Tapper “So the Politburo, not a term we came up with, it's a term from...

Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul on Monday released the first batch of text messages from Dr. Fauci’s Covid-era iPhone. The text messages revealed that Fauci privately knew that the Covid vaccine caused miscarriages in pregnant women. Fauci covered up the data that revealed an 82% miscarriage rate in women vaccinated during the first trimester. Dr. Anthony Fauci privately discussed concerns about COVID-19 mRNA vaccines for pregnant women in January 2021, including questions about fever after a second dose and a theoretical risk of miscarriage during the first trimester, according to newly released text messages. The exchange involved Fauci, then-Centers...
