A new report released by the Committee on House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight into the January 6 pipe bomber shows the FBI stopped looking for the suspect in 2021 and covered up evidence. The FBI is now refusing to cooperate with Congressional investigators. In September, former Secret Service agent Dan Bongino said according to a whistleblower, after the pipe bombs were found at the RNC and DNC headquarters, “assets on the ground, including a whistleblower, was briefed about the pipe bombs the next day and show a picture of a guy in a hoodie.” However, according to the whistleblower, the...

The estate of Malcolm X is suing the federal government, accusing it of playing a role in the 1965 assassination of the civil rights leader. In a lawsuit filed against the Department of Justice (DOJ), FBI, CIA and New York Police Department (NYPD), the estate alleges the agencies all played a significant role in the events leading to Malcolm X’s slaying and then engaged in a decades-long cover-up of their involvement. The complaint says the quartet of agencies were aware of credible threats against Malcolm X’s life but failed to intervene. “As a direct result of the Defendants’ intentional, bad...

Michael Waltz (R-Fla.), one of 13 lawmakers tapped to serve on the House bipartisan task force, told reporters at a Wednesday press conference at the Trump Hotel Chicago that the “overseas accounts” piqued his suspicion immediately regarding the shooter’s motives.” “Why does a 19-year-old kid who is a health care aid need encrypted platforms not even based in the United States, but...

the top Secret Service official who blew the security at the Trump Butler rally is still calling the shots and approving advance teams at Trump rallies. The female agent is still calling the shots at the Trump rallies despite failing in her one job – to keep the President safe and secure in public. It appears that there is no accountability in the US government today. You can even fail a security detail and get the former president shot in the head and keep your job. And we still do not know her name or the names of the other...

A new video from Trump assassination attempt victim's POV shows figure moving on roof moments before gunfire. James Copenhaver was shot twice and critically wounded during the assassination attempt against Trump Video shows Trump shooting victim's POV moments before gunfire

It is unlikely that Harris knows much about the plot, but she knows enough to keep her mouth shut. It’s time for someone in the media to ask her what, in fact, she does know. This past week, pundits have been quick to label the July 13 attempt on Donald Trump’s life an “inside job.” A little too quick. The pundits may be right, but they do not yet have enough evidence to make that claim. I was deep into the research for my new book, Ashli: The Untold Story of the Women of January 6, before I felt comfortable...

The Secret Service acknowledged Saturday that it had turned down requests of additional resources sought by former President Donald Trump’s security detail in the two years leading up to his attempted assassination last week, a reversal from earlier statements by the agency denying that such requests had been rebuffed.

"Stonewalling," Barrasso can be heard yelling at Cheatle as she moves through the convention center.

We know the FBI develops "domestic terrorists" with the intent of capturing them in the act, to give themselves a great big pat on the back, push the "rightwing extremism" narrative ("but the shooter was Republican!"), and to justify budget increases. Let's say the FBI was grooming this kid. They didn't intend for an assassination. But, of course, government is incompetent so it got away from them. (See Fast and Furious, et al.) Now, let's assume this scheme was passed along outside and upwards of the agency, to somebody with great power, enough to influence choices within multiple agencies, or...

Jesse Watters gives his take on reports that counter-snipers were inside the building Thomas Matthew Crooks fired shots from.

"See something, say something." After the 9/11 disaster, that phrase served as a terse marching order for alert American citizens willing to help stop terror attacks on U.S. soil. "See something, say something" is superb national security advice. 9/11 demonstrated America is under attack. Every citizen can contribute to the defense effort. On Saturday, July 13, several alert citizens attending a presidential campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, saw a young man lurking near a building adjacent to the fairground where presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump intended to deliver a speech. The young man was later seen on the...

House Republican members on the Oversight Committee said Tuesday the Department of Homeland Security has taken over communications between the committee and the U.S. Secret Service and refuses to confirm a time for a briefing that was supposed to take place today. The interposition by the Department of Homeland Security comes as Congress is seeking answers from the Secret Service about the security failure at Donald Trump's July 13 rally in Pennsylvania where an attempt was made on the former president's life. The USSS had previously agreed to brief the committee Tuesday. "After the Secret Service agreed to brief members...

How does a gunman, in plain view of some spectators, manage to open fire on a former president at a campaign rally protected by federal and local law enforcement?That is the frightening and unanswered question facing the country — and security officials — after Donald Trump said he suffered a graze wound on his right ear while he was speaking in a field in Butler, Pennsylvania, and left the stage with a bloodied head.Secret Service personnel shot and killed the gunman, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, immediately after he opened fire, the FBI said.

New details about the assassination attempt on President Trump are coming fast. Earlier this morning former Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino gave his opinion about the Secret Service almost unfathomable drop in security protocol that allowed a gunman with a rifle to climb atop a building a mere 130 yards away from President Trump. Having some very specific insight into protection detail protocol, Bongino gives a unique perspective on what might have gone wrong. ... Making matters worse, the FBI are in charge of the investigation. The FBI has suffered irreversible credibility collapse, and many believe there is no worse...
