What’s another 25 years when you’re already serving a life sentence? Fotios “Freddy” Geas — the ex-Mafia enforcer already serving a life sentence — was given an additional 25 years by a judge Friday for bludgeoning notorious New England crime boss James “Whitey” Bulger to death inside a federal prison in 2018. He pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and assault resulting in serious bodily injury for the brutal attack on Bulger. Geas had been behind bars since 2011 for multiple crimes, including the 2003 killing of Genovese crime boss Adolfo “Big Al” Bruno. Prosecutors said Geas repeatedly battered the 89-year-old...

Former FBI Director James Comey is backing Vice President Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), in the 2024 presidential race, he said Friday morning. “Kamala Harris made me feel like it’s finally morning in America,” Comey wrote in a post on the social platform X. “Everyone who cares about the rule of law and America’s indispensable role in the world should vote for Harris and Walz. I will.” Comey endorsed Biden during the 2020 Democratic primary. However, Biden’s campaign pushed back against the endorsement. “Yes, customer service? I just received a package that I very much...

The Justice Department has agreed to pay a total of $2 million to settle legal claims brought by former FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok and former FBI attorney Lisa Page over the DOJ’s release of text messages the pair exchanged. The agreement ends a lawsuit Page brought, but does not fully resolve Strzok’s separate suit, allowing him to continue to press his claims that he was fired in order to please then-President Donald Trump. On Friday, Strzok’s lawyers announced his $1.2 million agreement as attorneys for both sides notified a federal judge in Washington that the privacy-focused portion of that...

Chris Cuomo played video on Friday night that shows a Saudi official plotting the 9-11 attacks that killed 3,000 Americans. The video aired on News Nation and shows a Saudi official plotting the attack in Washington DC. This is the first time The Gateway Pundit has seen this video. Chris Cuomo: There’s a story that’s out right now that you have not been smothered with today. The more I think about it, it has been eating at me all day about how blanked up this is. We all remember 9/11. I guess we remember. Maybe we don’t? Maybe we don’t....

Pelosi, Schiff, and Biden have politicized a career intelligence community position by demanding the removal of a national security professional.Hours after President Joe Biden delivered his inaugural address promising to bring unity and healing to the country, his administration began a politically charged attack on a highly respected, newly appointed career intelligence official over fears he would be insufficiently loyal to Democratic partisans. The attempted purge has thus far followed the playbook publicly laid out by top Democrats and their left-wing media enablers. In a stunning violation of precedent, Biden’s National Security Agency (NSA) placed General Counsel Michael J. Ellis...

When you think about America’s decline, the FBI is one of the first organizations that comes to mind. What was once a highly respected institution has plummeted to levels most of us never imagined, thanks to their penchant for targeting and entrapping Americans based on their political beliefs. Actually, it makes you question whether they ever truly deserved our accolades and respect. They’ve likely always been a corrupt, Deep State organization, and the only reason the mask has been ripped off is because we, the people, had the audacity to elect an outsider. Once we did, our intelligence agencies sprang...

Former FBI Director James Comey was on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Tuesday and warned that Trump, if given a second term, would "use the power of the DOJ and the FBI to target his enemies."

There’s no way in hell they shouldn’t tell all’.. The FBI is closing the book on the agency’s “corrupt” handling of James “Whitey” Bulger — forever. The feds are refusing to make any further installments of Bulger’s case file public, saying the records are “investigative” and no longer subject to the Freedom of Information Act. “The records responsive to your request are law enforcement records; there is a pending or prospective law enforcement proceeding relevant to these responsive records, and release of the information could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings. Therefore, your request is being administratively closed,”...

According to an exclusive Fox News Digital report, a key prosecutor on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s current team protected the Clinton Foundation from federal investigation. According to the report of former Special Counsel John Durham, Ray Hulser, formerly the head of the Department of Justice’s Public Integrity Section (PIN), is the DOJ official who “declined prosecution” of the Clintons in 2016. The Durham report revealed that even after three different FBI field offices opened investigations into the Clinton Foundation, Hulser shut down the probes on behalf of the PIN. However, Hulser claimed during a 2016 interview with Durham that his...

Louis Freeh. Pal to Mueller and Comey and Wray.

Despite bipartisan congressional support for examining the FBI's gross mishandling of the post-9/11 anthrax attacks, President Barack Obama is telling Congress that he doesn't want the agency to be scrutinized and held accountable. Dr. Steven Hatfill, one of the innocent victims of the FBI investigation, is preparing to go public with his account of how the Department of Justice (DOJ) violated his rights and tried to ruin his career and reputation. He will be the subject of a forthcoming Atlantic magazine article and will be sitting down for an interview by the NBC "Today Show's" Matt Lauer. The DOJ paid...

The first congressional candidate in history to be banned from virtually all social media writes a compelling tale of modern American politics.. That’s not appropriate here!” chided an audibly nervous Minnesota congressman Tom Emmer, 60, at a recent National Republican Congressional Committee donor retreat in Key Biscayne, Florida. Emmer’s composure faltered when he was asked from the floor why a selection of 10 congressional seats targeted in the 2022 midterm elections did not include any of those held by the 10 Republican representatives who voted to impeach President Trump in 2021, seven of whom are still delusional enough to seek...

The Clintons certainly aren’t strangers to corruption and controversy. Beginning in the 1970s and 1980s, they were accused of running the Whitewater real estate investment scandal as governor of Arkansas. Bill allegedly pressured banker David Hale to provide an illegal $300,000 loan to Susan McDougal, the partner of the Clintons in the Whitewater deal. Once they arrived at the White House, the Clintons were accused of illegally firing White House travel office employees and replacing them with friends. In 1996, the Clintons were accused of illegally obtaining FBI files on political opponents. It became known as “Filegate,” but they were...

VIDEOWe just had yet more confirmation that former FBI Director James Comey is a flat out LIAR. John Durham reported that John Brennan, in August 2016, informed Barack Obama and others including COMEY that Hillary Clinton and the DNC were behind the Steele Dossier yet, as you can see, Comey pathetically feigned ignorance to Bret Baier in April 2018 about who funded that dossier.

It is now well established that the FBI has become thoroughly and possibly irreparably corrupt and politicized, serving as a thuggish arm of the Leftist establishment rather than any kind of law enforcement agency. Its decline accelerated during the tenure of the intensely partisan Leftist apparatchik James Comey as FBI director, but in the six years since Donald Trump removed Comey from office amid a storm of controversy, the lanky corruptocrat has shown not the slightest hint of introspection, much less regret. Instead, he just went on MSNBC to warn that a new Trump administration could see the president weaponizing...

Former FBI Director James Comey said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside with Jen Psaki” that he would not vote for the Republican nominee in 2024, even if it is someone other than former President Donald Trump. Psaki said, “You said that Trump poses a near existential threat to the rule of law.” She asked, “Tell me a little bit about the specifics of what he could try to do, what do you mean by that?” Comey said, “I think about what four years of a retribution presidency might look like. He could order the investigation and prosecution of individuals who he...

The FBI had at least four open criminal investigations into Hillary and Bill Clinton that were suddenly dropped in the months before the 2016 presidential election, special counsel John Durham’s recently released report shows. The bombshell report released by Durham — which concluded that the bureau’s probe into former President Donald Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia was “seriously flawed” — also shed light on the quashed probes. The feds had been looking into claims that foreign countries and other individuals were trying to influence the Clintons through donations to their namesake non-profit and Hillary’s presidential campaign. Three of the FBI’s...

In November 2019 in an exclusive report, The Gateway Pundit uncovered evidence that showed that on Jeff Sessions’ first day in office, he was committed to recusing himself as President Trump’s Attorney General and handing over the Department of Justice to the crooks in the Deep State. The former Senator from Alabama, Jeff Sessions was sworn in as President Trump’s Attorney General on February 9, 2017. His first real day of work was a few days later on Monday, February 12, 2017. Sessions was hardly a day in office before President Trump was set up in the Oval Office by...

The special counsel’s report provides the summary Americans need to understand the breadth of the malfeasance.. Special Counsel John Durham released his long-awaited report on the Crossfire Hurricane investigation Monday. While the 306-page report includes some new details of the Russia-collusion hoax, the Clinton campaign’s role in the plot, and the FBI and intelligence agencies’ misconduct, much of the content merely rehashes what conservative media have reported for the last five years. Still, our country needed a public record of the events that represent one of the biggest political scandals in American history, and on that front Durham delivered. FBI’s...

Hillary Clinton believes that when in the last days of her presidential campaign FBI director James Comey publicly released the news that more of her lost emails had been found on a recently seized laptop computer, it cost her the election: https://nypost.com/2021/11/04/hillary-clinton-recalls-terrible-day-fbi-reopened-email-probe/ And she's probably right. James Comey's bumbling contribution to Hillary Clinton's defeat is one that he can never fully atone for...
