Evidence uncovered so far, including weapons and tactics seen on surveillance video, suggests a level of planning that has led investigators to believe the attack on the US Capitol was not just a protest that spiraled out of control, a federal law enforcement official says. Among the evidence the FBI is examining are indications that some participants at the Trump rally at the Ellipse, outside the White House, left the event early, perhaps to retrieve items to be used in the assault on the Capitol. A team of investigators and prosecutors are also focused on the command and control aspect...

A prominent Democrat law professor has called for a "no holds barred" investigation into the 2020 presidential election results. Prof. Jonathan Turley, a constitutional scholar and longtime Democrat, says a full probe of the 2020 vote count is needed because "tens of millions of voters believe that this election was rigged."

This will be the same fate of any Investigation of the Biden family corruption, once he occupies the White House. Editorial | Sudden death for Madigan probe The Editorial Board 12/18/2020 The curtain has come down on an ill-fated special investigating committee in the Illinois House. Democratic Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan needs all the good publicity — in this case, that’s defined as the absence of bad publicity — he can get. So it was good news for him when Democrats on the special House committee created to investigate allegedly unethical behavior by Madigan this week pulled the plug...

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) slammed the Senate’s investigation of Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings as a “political exercise” in September, saying it was “not the legitimate role of government.” Those criticisms now look shortsighted, as Hunter Biden has admitted that he is under federal investigation.

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace said Friday on “America’s Newsroom” that Attorney General William Barr was ” playing it by the book” by not making the investigation into Hunter Biden public. Wallace said, “I will say that Justice Department guidelines are that the Justice Department does not take any action in the weeks or even months leading up to an investigation — or to an election that would sway that election. So it would seem that Barr was playing it by the book in not doing this. And remember the firestorm when James Comey, the FBI Director, came out first...

The Georgia Secretary of State's office is investigating whether or not a group of ballot monitors in Atlanta were misled into leaving their posts early during ballot-counting on Election Night. During a Georgia state senate hearing on Thursday, President Trump's legal team revealed security footage from Atlanta's State Farm Arena depicting ballot-counting that occurred there late into Election Night and early into the next morning.

FOX News opened their noon hour with a hit piece on President Trump and in extension his 73.8 million confirmed voters. During the segment FOX reported that Chris Wray’s FBI WILL NOT be investigating any election irregularities. Nothing to see here. Liberal election workers in Detroit block the entrance to the TCF center for GOP observers and then board up the windows with cardboard and pizza boxes. They are much too busy to worry about election security. They have to chase down the Q movement and Trump supporters driving trucks with MAGA flags.

This is about what we’d expect from a nation with something to hide. According to the New York Times, China is blocking the World Health Organization (WHO) from investigating the origins of the coronavirus that has swept across the world over the last year. From National Review: "The coronavirus was first reported to have originated at an animal market in Wuhan, China, however numerous observers have already questioned this account of the virus’s origins. Among other issues, the original host animal—a species of bat—was not sold at the particular animal market, and the city of Wuhan is home to virology...

The New York Times ran an in-depth story Monday on Judge Amy Coney Barrett’s adoptions from Haiti. The story, which is the result of more than three weeks’ investigation by the Times, turns up nothing in the way of bombshell revelations. It does, however, fly in the face of pleas by adoption experts not to make children’s lives the center of a politically motivated investigation.Whether from restraint or lack of content, the Times article avoids being an overt hit piece. On first blush it reads almost like a personal profile — which is notable, considering it was written without...

President Trump publicly pressured the Justice Department on Friday to move against his political adversaries and complained that Attorney General William P. Barr is not doing enough to deliver results of a probe into how the Obama administration investigated possible collusion between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign. The delayed report is “a disgrace,” and Trump’s 2016 Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, should be jailed, Trump said in a rambling radio interview, one day after he argued on Twitter that his current Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, is a criminal who should be barred from running...... Administration officials have expressed frustration in...

Joe Biden is now the subject of an active federal criminal investigation into his role in the CI probe directed at Trump’s 2016 campaign. Recall, Joe Biden was in a January 5, 2017 secret Oval Office meeting discussing General Flynn’s phone calls with Russian Ambassador Kislyak with Obama, Yates, Comey, Rice and Brennan and 7 days later he sought to unmask Flynn.

The criminal investigation into Biden also includes...

WASHINGTON — The Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into whether President Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton unlawfully disclosed classified information when he published his bombshell memoir “The Room Where It Happened,” according to a new report. The department has formed a grand jury and subpoenaed communications from Bolton’s publisher, Simon & Schuster, after the government failed to block the release of the book earlier this summer, the New York Times reported Tuesday. The Trump administration sued Bolton in June in a bid to delay the publication of the tell-all about Bolton’s 17 months in the...
