Paul Sperry @paulsperry_ Just as Obama ordered post-election intel to smear Trump, he ordered pre-debate intel to help Hillary. Obama approved the "joint statement" manufactured by Clapper conveniently on Oct. 7, 2016 -- 2 days before the prez debate -- and Clinton used it to tar Trump as a Russian agent 5:15 PM · Jul 21, 2025

Bombshell declassified docs show how Comey FBI mishandled its investigation into Hillary Clinton's illicit private email server and buried key evidence. A newly-declassified appendix to a years-old Justice Department watchdog report shows that then-FBI Director James Comey was swayed to preemptively announce the end of the bureau’s investigation into Hillary Clinton based on mysterious classified intelligence reports – and that the FBI failed to investigate thumbdrives containing potentially key information about use of an illicit private email server.The details are part of a classified appendix to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s 2018 report criticizing the politicized conduct of the FBI’s...

The U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary has released a scathing statement exposing the FBI’s utter failure—if not outright refusal—to properly investigate Hillary Clinton’s illegal use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) revealed that the newly declassified “Clinton annex”—an appendix to the DOJ Inspector General’s 2018 report—shows that James Comey’s FBI deliberately ignored key evidence, stonewalled Congress, and prioritized politics over national security. Grassley confirmed that the document, declassified at his request by Trump-appointed Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, reveals how FBI brass—including Comey, McCabe, and...

DOJ has declassified key new documents detailing how the Comey FBI and Peter Strzok ignored a major national security breach by Hillary Clinton they should have thoroughly investigated as part of a counterintelligence case, but they went after Donald Trump instead ... When are you going to get off this ignoring stuff? Steele was paid by FBI simultaneously as he was being paid by Clinton. You can do the math. They set Steele up inside Clinton campaign. He was using Danchenko as a cutout. Clinton put him there through Strobe Talbott, another name you are omitting from this that should...

Last week saw a massive document dump that reconfirmed what we knew about the Russian collusion hoax. It was a deep state, legacy media, and Democrat plot to undermine the first Trump presidency. Former CIA Director John Brennan and ex-FBI Chief James Comey are now subjects of investigation over their conduct regarding their operation. The next question is when James Clapper and Barack Obama will be roped into that probe. Obama especially since his fingerprints are all over this mess.

The Hillary Clinton campaign was directly coordinated with the Obama White House to launch the Trump-Russia hoax in July 2016. Hillary Clinton unleashed hell on this country when she hatched the ‘Trump-Russia collusion’ plot in 2016 to distract from her email scandal. Hillary used a bogus dossier and conspired with foreigners and the FBI to spy on Trump’s 2016 campaign and presidency. In July of 2016, then-FBI special agent Peter Strzok opened a counterintel investigation into Trump’s camp dubbed “Crossfire Hurricane” on suspicions (based on no evidence) that the Russians had infiltrated Trump’s circle. The “electronic communication” (EC) that launched...

The Wall Street Journal embarrassed itself Thursday by hyping a so-called Trump-Epstein “bombshell” that amounted to nothing more than a disputed birthday card from 2003 that they won’t show, and that Trump denies writing and is now suing over. The rest of the story was recycled material long in the public domain. Desperate to revive the left’s failed narrative tying Trump to Epstein, the Journal grasped at straws while ignoring Epstein’s far more substantial connections to powerful Democrats like Bill Clinton, who flew on Epstein’s jet multiple times and visited his island — facts the media still downplays to this...

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — Federal prosecutors have asked a judge to cut the 23-year prison term being served by an American Muslim activist who admitted participating in a Libyan plot to assassinate King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. Abdurahman Alamoudi, 59, of Falls Church has been in jail since his arrest in September 2003. He pleaded guilty to illegal business dealings with Libya and admitted receiving more than $500,000 in cash from Libyan officials as part of an assassination plot. According to court records, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi wanted then-Prince Abdullah killed after a 2003 Arab League summit where Gadhafi felt...

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

Britain's largest misinformation monitor and "fact-checker" went into bankruptcy, according to a report in the Times of London last week. In the U.S., left-wing groups like NewsGuard and GDI have come under fierce criticism as de facto tools for censorship. Logically, founded in 2016 by Cambridge engineering graduate Lyric Jain, aimed to combat "harmful and manipulative content" following high-profile events like the Brexit referendum and the U.S. presidential election. A pivotal misstep was its decision to work with India's Karnataka state government's fact-checking unit, a move criticized by the Editors Guild of India and others for potentially enabling state censorship...

Rudy Giuliani recalled the moment Hillary Clinton collapsed Hillary Clinton on September 11, 2016, buckled and dropped at Ground Zero in New York City. Clinton’s handlers threw her into her van like a side of beef. She even lost a shoe. WATCH: Clinton’s camp claimed the weather contributed to Hillary’s fainting episode. But it was a very comfortable 75 degrees that morning in New York City. Here’s video from a different angle: The Clinton campaign then released a statement from Hillary’s doctor stating she was diagnosed with pneumonia on that day which led to her fainting episode.(snip) Later that day...

Hello Mrs. Clinton, Can you please explain why your flagship program, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, CHAI (EIN 271414646), failed a mandatory federal grant audit? And out of 225MM in expenses, why does it spend 27 million between travel and conferences? And who receives the personal housing allowances and health club memberships?

On Monday’s America This Week Walter Kirn read from a bizarre introduction to his 75th Anniversary edition paperback edition of 1984. Written by Harvard-educated author Dolen Perkins-Valdez, it came with a trigger warning. I had to go looking for the foreword by Perkins-Valdez, a black female writer whose Twitter page features a line from the “discussion questions” portion of her book Take My Hand: “History repeats what we don’t remember.”In Take My Hand Perkins-Valdez stressed the importance of remembering episodes like the Tuskegee syphilis experiments and the use of the Henrietta Lacks cell line. Her essay about 1984 argues at...

Democrat politicians reached screeching levels of hypocrisy over Donald Trump's decision to act rather than wait for an Iranian nuclear weapon deployment. Chuck Schumer demanded action from Congress, as did Hakeem Jeffries. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez led calls for impeachment. Practically every Democrat on Capitol Hill -- with the notable exception of John Fetterman -- rushed to promote their "authoritarian" narrative about Trump. All of this venting reveals very short memories on the port side of Capitol Hill. Fourteen years ago, they couldn't get enough of presidential strikes on a nation in the very same region. Remember Hillary Clinton's chortling over the...

Robert Ellsberg speaks on whistleblowing, truth-telling and the Pentagon Papers Oct 2, 2019 by Heidi Schlumpf JusticePolitics The autumn of 1969 has been on Robert Ellsberg's mind lately, as the 50th anniversary of a life-changing request from his father approaches. A half century ago, as a 13-year-old, Ellsberg agreed to help his dad photocopy documents from a government report he had worked on. Those documents, which came to be known as the Pentagon Papers, revealed the United States' role in the build-up to the Vietnam War and the lies told to the American public and to Congress about U.S. actions...

China puppet suggests asking China to “back” the Democrats. Little slow on the draw there, doll.

The Federal Judge who just went after @DOGE is married to the attorney representing Hampton Dellinger in his lawsuit against the Trump administration. She was also Lisa Page's personal attorney during a GOP inquiry into her efforts to smear President Trump with the Russia Collusion Hoax with Peter Strozk. How is this not a conflict of interest!?

Hillary Clinton turned off comments after she fired a post to X condemning Donald Trump for deploying the National Guard to what she called 'peaceful demonstrations' in Los Angeles. Clinton, who served Secretary of State under President Obama, provoked the MAGA online contingent by slamming Trump in the statement posted on Tuesday. 'California Governor Newsom didn't request the National Guard be deployed to his state following peaceful demonstrations. Trump sent them anyway. It's the first time in 60 years a president has made that choice,' she wrote. 'Trump's goal isn't to keep Californians safe. His goal is to cause chaos,...

Partisan targeting or legitimate antitrust inquiry?The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is seeking documents from the left-leaning nonprofit Media Matters to determine whether the self-styled watchdog conspired with other organizations to orchestrate illegal advertiser boycotts of conservative news sites in violation of antitrust laws. In 2024, Elon Musk sued the company for allegedly costing his X platform billions of dollars in lost advertising revenue, leading some observers to criticize the current FTC inquiry as a Musk-inspired alliance.What FTC SeeksThe FTC seeks communications between Media Matters and the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM) — a cross-industry initiative of the World Federation...

And how Trump shattered the Establishment’s manufactured consent. There was a moment in the late spring of 2015 when I realized that the ground beneath our feet was shifting. During an appearance on Fox News, Charles Krauthammer was asked to predict the Republican and Democrat nominees for the 2016 election. He said rather confidently that the nominees would be “Jeb” Bush and Hillary Clinton. When asked to explain his reasoning, Dr. Krauthammer pointed out that Bush and Clinton had the money, the political infrastructure, and the backing of their respective party elites. I found his predictions unsettling — partly because...
