Paging CNN president Chris Licht. Do you remember the request you made last June that your personnel not use the highly partisan term "The Big Lie" to describe skepticism about the conduct of the 2020 election? Well, perhaps you need to emphasize that request again to the Sunday host of CNN's Inside Politics, Abby Phillip, who repeated that phrase you frowned upon not once but twice in just a little over a minute and a half. The total number of times "The Big Lie" was invoked on Sunday was actually three since the Washington Post White House Bureau Chief also...

Ghislaine Maxwell broke her silence on her relationship with former President Bill Clinton and Hillary will be furious. Maxwell called their relationship a “special friendship” that lasted for years. “Yes, I follow what is happening to him,” Maxwell said about Prince Andrew. “He is paying such a price for the association with Jeffrey Epstein. I care about him, and I feel so bad for him. “There are many people who have been impacted by this story who have been canceled, some friends of mine who never even met Epstein lost their jobs. People who literally had nothing to do with...

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said the FBI possesses records indicating potential criminal activity by President Joe Biden's family in foreign business deals. Among records held by the FBI, Grassley said, is evidence that sheds light on Hunter Biden's business and financial relationship with Ukrainian energy company Burisma, and indicates that Joe Biden was aware of his son's business arrangements and might have been involved in some. It's unclear if the records, which according to a release were reviewed by the senator's investigative staff, have been shared with the Delaware U.S. Attorney's Office as part of its ongoing criminal investigation into...

Government agencies and private security companies in the U.S. have found a cost-effective way to engage in warrantless surveillance of individuals, groups and places: a pay-for-access web tool called Fog Reveal. The tool enables law enforcement officers to see “patterns of life” – where and when people work and live, with whom they associate and what places they visit. The tool’s maker, Fog Data Science, claims to have billions of data points from over 250 million U.S. mobile devices. Fog Reveal came to light when the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a nonprofit that advocates for online civil liberties, was investigating...

Chris Wallace is learning a harsh lesson after he abruptly left Fox News after 18 years to join the left-wing outlet at CNN. Wallace was lured onto CNN’s new online streaming service called CNN+ but it’s drawing fewer than 10,000 daily viewers. Wallace is quickly learning that no one is watching him anymore. Sources say Wallace is suffering “daily breakdowns,” and asking his staffers “to count how many times a day his promo is playing.” Without stronger marketing, it appears very few people are tuning in. Jon Nicosia, president of News Cycle Media and former managing editor of Mediaite, says...

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Sunday said former President Trump kept classified documents “as a trophy” in regards to an FBI search of Mar-a-Lago where authorities seized troves of White House materials with various classified markings. “He wanted to keep these documents as a trophy. That’s what they were, more than anything,” Christie, and ABC News contributor and former Trump adviser, said on “This Week,” referring to over 100 classified documents and dozens of empty folders labeled classified found at Trump’s property.

Igor Danchenko is on trial, but so is the FBI. That is the theme of Russiagate special counsel John Durham’s prosecution of Danchenko, heading into its third day of trial in Alexandria, Va., federal court. Danchenko is charged with five counts of lying to the FBI about two of his sources for what became the infamous “Steele dossier” — a compilation of faux intelligence reports, mainly authored by former British spy Christopher Steele, that portrayed the GOP’s then-presidential candidate, Donald Trump, as a clandestine agent of Russia. It remains to be seen whether Durham can prove these charges: The allegation...

As prosecutors weigh charges against Hunter Biden, don’t forget the many reasons to think the Joe Biden Justice Department shouldn’t be making these calls. The most recent evidence is the fact that sources close to the investigation felt the need to leak news that the feds have enough to bring tax- and gun-related charges. No way that happens unless people within Justice are seriously worried about even those puny charges getting squelched. They have reason to worry: Former Hunter associate Tony Bobulinski years ago corroborated to the FBI that indeed, the laptop emails said exactly what they seemed to. I.e....

The Biden White House is staffing up to defend the president and his administration against the potential coming onslaught of Republican-led probes focused on first-son Hunter Biden. In anticipation of a GOP victory in the House in November, the White House has so far agreed to part ways with $265,000 of taxpayer dollars for salaries of staffers who will primarily fend off the coming attacks. And that number is expected to grow.

Representative Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that a criminal referral from the January 6 House Select Committee was not necessary because the Department of Justice is going after former President Donald Trump “pretty hard.” Anchor George Stephanopoulos said, “President Biden said yesterday the committee made an overwhelming case. Should we be expecting a criminal referral?

<p>A "sizable percentage" of FBI employees felt sympathy towards the Jan. 6 insurrectionists, and considered the riot at the U.S. Capitol "no different than the BLM protests," according to a warning email sent to a top FBI official by someone with apparent connections to the bureau.</p>

Former President Donald Trump slammed the Jan. 6 committee, calling it a "total 'BUST'" after it voted to subpoena him on Thursday."Why didn’t the Unselect Committee ask me to testify months ago?" Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform. "Why did they wait until the very end, the final moments of their last meeting? Because the Committee is a total 'BUST' that has only served to further divide our Country which, by the way, is doing very badly — A laughing stock all over the World?"The committee voted unanimously Thursday to subpoena Trump, demanding the former president's...

The Jan. 6 House Select Committee's unanimous vote to subpoena former President Donald Trump was blasted by House GOP members Thursday."Today's subpoena of President Donald J. Trump less than one month from the midterm elections is a desperate political ploy by Democrats and their mainstream media stenographer allies," House Republican Conference Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York wrote in a statement, The Hill reported."The American people are smart and the Democrats' abuse of power will only energize the American people to fire Nancy Pelosi once and for all and deliver a red tsunami that will elect a historic Republican...

Former House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes on Friday accused Attorney General Merrick Garland of ‘blocking’ Special Counsel John Durham from bringing charges against officials implicated in the Russiagate scandal. 55 sec video “Something else going on with Durham,” Nunes said. “He has put systematically the FBI on trial here. He has showed us that there were so many people that were not just working for the Clinton campaign and the DNC. They also happen to be working for the FBI or later after the fact. They start to work for the FBI when they know that they’re actually liars…...

A source close to President Trump says that he would love to speak before the sham Jan 6 committee. Earlier today President Trump released the following truths. In the first truth, the President asked why corrupt Speaker Nancy Pelosi didn’t call in troops before Jan 6? He also asks why the Jan 6 committee never looked into voter fraud. This is why Americans were protesting the 2020 Election in the first place. The President also asks why the Jan 6 committee waited until now to call him in to testify. All of America knows the Jan 6 committee is a...

[...] – Video when Trump said: “Peacefully and Patriotically”We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the...

In 2021, the duplicitous FBI offered Christopher Steele $1 million to verify the unfounded claims made against Donald J. Trump in the crazy “Pee-Pee” dossier. This is understandable because the dossier was so absurd that someone needed to be paid off with a lot of money to verify it was true while maintaining a straight face. Also, that is a problem because the FBI had already sworn the crazy dossier was true in 2016. The job of the agency is supposed to be to validate what they swore to as true. This story is proof that the whole Russia hoax...
