The White House has released new documents concerning the FBI’s criminal probe of President Trump - Oxferd Comma - that was initiated in May 2017, just months after his inauguration. As we all know, Crossfire Hurricane was officially opened in the summer of 2016. That investigation continued even after Trump’s election in November 2016. By May 2017, the FBI and the rest of the Intelligence Community was increasingly desperate. The FISA warrants on Carter Page revealed no useful intelligence, thus requiring the submission of increasingly deceptive renewals that altered the truth and included both the omission of material facts and...

The White House on Wednesday released declassified information saying the FBI opened an investigation into whether President Trump was acting as an asset for Russia when he fired FBI Director James Comey, a theory an administration official said was not backed up by evidence. The official said the investigation, known as Oxferd Comma, was a subcomponent of Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI probe into potential collusion between the 2016 Trump campaign and the Russian government — an investigation that has long drawn Mr. Trump's ire. The predicate of Oxferd Comma was the newly elected president's decision to fire Comey in 2017....

WASHINGTON — Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) is calling for all congressional staff to undergo background checks and dishing on growing foreign influence campaigns that she describes as “the worst kept secret on Capitol Hill.” Cammack has introduced a resolution that would also mandate disclosure of staffers’ nationalities as well as any payments by foreign governments to current or new Capitol hill hires. The proposal comes after reports emerged last month that the FBI has been investigating a senior GOP aide for allegedly acting as a foreign agent on behalf of Qatar, as well as revelations that spies for Cuba and...

LANSING, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – On Monday, the Michigan Court of Appeals reversed the convictions of two men tied to the 2020 plot to kidnap Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. The ruling for Pete Musico and Paul Bellar follows a decision earlier this summer by a different Court of Appeals panel that reversed the conviction of co-defendant Joseph Morrison. Musico, Bellar, and Morrison were convicted in state court on charges related to the alleged plot to kidnap Whitmer, while several other defendants were prosecuted separately in federal court. In that earlier ruling, the panel overturned Morrison’s convictions after finding that kidnapping...

The Justice Department and FBI have a new communist financier in their crosshairs for alleged financial crimes: James "Fergie" Cox Chambers Jr., the estranged bad-boy heir to the Cox cable empire. On Friday, Spanish police detained Chambers on the luxury island of Ibiza, in response to an international arrest warrant, according to sources. Chambers is allegedly wanted for money laundering and providing support to Hamas, following years of financing anti-Israel and anti-West organizations and protests. The transnational network he helped fund and support is kicking in to cast him as a victim of the Trump administration's "fascism," while critics are...

Bryan Kohberger’s plea deal left several burning questions unanswered about the final moments of the four University of Idaho students he butchered to death, an ex-FBI agent said in the latest episode of “Pod Force One.” Chris Whitcomb told “Pod Force One” host Miranda Devine that a vacuum of evidence was left behind in Kohberger’s quadruple homicide case when the convicted killer took a plea deal last July — dodging a much-anticipated trial and skirting the death penalty. Whitcomb’s book, “Broken Plea: The Explosive Search for the Truth Behind the Idaho Murders,” released in late April, details the overlooked inconsistencies...

Evidence shows that John Roberts, chief justice of the United States Supreme Court, was “hacked” by a Deep State surveillance operation overseen by Obama administration CIA director John Brennan and Obama director of national intelligence James Clapper. Roberts, the Bush appointee who made the decisive vote to uphold the constitutionality of Obamacare before the 2012 election, was allegedly the victim of the same Deep State surveillance program that spied on President Donald Trump. Tapes released by Federal Judge G. Murray Snow — preserved on a Whistleblower Soundcloud page — show real estate billionaire Timothy Blixseth explaining Brennan and Clapper’s surveillance...

What began with a concerned mother calling police on her son ended in the thwarting of a terror plot involving drones and snipers aimed at members of U.S. Congress attending Sunday's UFC event at the White House, the government alleges in a criminal complaint filed against one of the plot's admitted leaders, an Ohio teen.

Co-conspirators, the charging documents allege,...
