We first heard of Lindsey Halligan working for President Trump after the illegal Mar-a-Lago raid. The crooked Biden regime authorized the raid in an effort to steal documents that the President rightly held in his possession. Halligan was on Hannity to discuss what happened and the corruption in the elections and more. Lindsey Halligan, who brought us the historic, unprecedented indictment of corrupt criminal Jim Comey, has always been fighting for President Trump and for truth and accountability. Here is her interview as Pres Trump’s lawyer defending him from the FBI goons and Jack Smith responsible for the raid on...

Before you add John Bolton’s indictment to the growing pile of specious prosecutions of Donald Trump’s enemies, stop and read the Justice Department’s allegations that the former national security adviser systematically shared classified information with people who weren’t authorized to read it, all in the service of writing a tell-all book. The 18-count criminal indictment, filed yesterday, was compiled by experienced prosecutors, not political lackeys. It is detailed and precise, and relies on Bolton’s own words to implicate him. You should question whether these charges would be brought if Trump weren’t president. Officials in Joe Biden’s administration passed on the...

According to the Inspector General Report, several memos were shared with the Columbia Law Professor Daniel Richman. Richman is expected to be a central witness in the pending federal prosecution against Comey in Virginia for allegedly lying about his role in media leaks. The Inspector General also found attorney Patrick Fitzgerald received multiple Comey memos about the Trump meetings, including at least one memo containing classified information. Fitzgerald is now representing Comey in the Virginia case. Question: Is there a conflict, or the appearance of a conflict? Does it cross any legal or ethical red lines? Richman has not responded...

In his Loyal Opposition blog, New York Times ed page editor Andrew Rosenthal goes after the Justice Department’s decision to prosecute former CIA officer, former Democratic Senate staffer and Huffington Post blogger John Kiriakou for leaking classified information — including the names of CIA operatives — to journalists. Rosenthal writes, That may seem simple: CIA officer, classified information disclosed, prison. But take a closer look. He’s been charged with revealing that two men accused of organizing the Sept. 11 attacks, Abu Zubaydah and Khalid Sheikh Mohamed, were tortured. So the man who blew the whistle on torture may go to...

The New York state attorney general was indicted on charges related to alleged mortgage fraud — but the case looks like an unconstitutional selective prosecution.In the same jurisdiction in which the Trump Justice Department indicted former FBI Director James Comey more than a week ago, the same prosecutor who brought that case has now gone after another Trump enemy: New York Attorney General Letitia “Tish” James. (Disclosure: I worked as a volunteer member of James' transition team after her election in 2018.)The reason for the indictment? James is accused of having falsified a mortgage application on a property purchased in...

A third of Republicans support deporting citizens who disagree with Donald TrumpMost presidential hopefuls make hokey promises to fix the economy, heal divisions or restore America’s promise. Donald Trump offered something different. “For those who have been wronged and betrayed, I am your retribution,” he promised the crowd at the 2023 Conservative Political Action Conference. Since his inauguration in January that vengeance has come relentlessly. The administration has ordered investigations into former Biden aides, bullied some of the country’s most powerful law firms and cut federal funding for universities. Two weeks ago James Comey, the onetime FBI director who was...

"Are you aware that James Comey used to be a communist. In a 2003 interview with New York Magazine, James Comey said before voting for Jimmy Carter in 1980, he'd been a communist. He admitted 'I moved from Communist to whatever I am now' ... The CIA Director and the FBI Director [under Obama] both had histories of not just flirtation, but serious immersion into communism. And like the KGB always said, 'No one ever leaves, the KGB,' Nobody ever leaves this way of thinking." SNIP

Comey's letter, submitted under penalty of law, prompts committee to withdraw deposition demand The House Oversight Committee has dropped its subpoena for former FBI Director James Comey, after he said he had no knowledge relevant to the panel’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, The Hill reported, citing a letter Comey sent to the committee. In the Oct. 1 letter sent to Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky, Comey said he had no "knowledge" or "information relevant to the Committee’s investigation" into the late pedophile. Comey was slated to sit for a deposition on Tuesday before the committee that is examining Epstein’s contacts...

Another high-ranking prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia has been fired. Last month, President Trump fired Erik Siebert as the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia because he refused to bring charges against Letitia James, Comey, Schiff, and others. Shortly after Siebert’s firing, Lindsey Halligan, the new Acting US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, indicted former FBI Director James Comey. However, the night before Lindsey Halligan indicted Comey, Deep State prosecutors in the EDVA, leaked a memo in an effort to defend Comey. “Two sources familiar with the matter tell me prosecutors in the EDVA...

We’ve seen this before, just on a smaller scale. Special Counsel Robert Mueller is following the infamous playbook of Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, who managed to convict an innocent man while the guilty one walked free — and Fitzgerald knew it. They both went after and indicted people who either did not commit any crimes or were indicted for things unrelated to the purposes for which they were appointed. Both were in hotly political environments with supportive media. Both were open-ended investigations. And, it seems, both were hungry for convictions for the sake of convictions — not truth or justice....

Long ago, Americans viewed the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) with tremendous admiration. It was considered a premier law enforcement agency and was favorably depicted in countless television shows and movies. Sadly, that reputation has suffered in recent years. It changed from being viewed as unbiased and revered to having a reputation as partisan and untrustworthy. This turnabout accelerated during the tenure of James Comey as FBI Director. In May 2017, President Donald Trump fired Comey. Among other issues, Trump was disgusted with Comey’s handling of the phony Russian collusion investigation. He refused to publicly exonerate President Trump, although he...

“If you want a friend in DC, get a dog. We're coming for you.” —Dan Bongino, Deputy Director, FBI. You better believe Martha Stewart baked a cake last night — the lovely Gâteau Opéra perhaps? — when she got the news that the ham sandwich known as James Comey got indicted by a federal grand jury twenty-two years after that same ham sandwich indicted the goddess of hearth and home for lying to the FBI and the SEC over a trumped-up insider-trading rap, and sent her to federal prison for a five-month stretch plus five additional months of confined home-making...

Documents declassified by FBI Director Kash Patel directly link former FBI chief James Comey to false statements he made before Congress, independent journalist Catherine Herridge reported Thursday. Further, Herridge reported that the indictment against Comey had been "ready to go," but that former U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert had been "blocking" or "slow-walking" the charges. Lindsey Halligan, whom President Donald Trump named interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, removed the blocks. Patel declassified the FBI leak investigations, codenamed Arctic Haze, which Herridge reported show Comey orchestrated a calculated leak campaign to steer the Russia-collusion narrative and burnish his...

James Comey’s son-in-law abruptly resigned from his gig as a federal prosecutor Thursday — just minutes after the ex-FBI director was indicted by a federal grand jury. Troy Edwards Jr. quit his position as a senior national security prosecutor within the Eastern District of Virginia, which is the same office now prosecuting his father-in-law. In a one-sentence resignation letter addressed to new US Attorney Lindsey Halligan, Edwards said he was leaving “to uphold my oath to the Constitution and the country.” The indictment against Comey, 64, alleges he lied to Congress while giving his Sept. 30, 2020, congressional testimony amid...

Thursday on MSNBC’s “All In,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) said President Donald Trump’s followers could not call themselves “patriotic” if they cheered the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey. Host Chris Hayes said, “James Comey, the former director of the FBI, a guy who refused to turn the bureau into Trump’s personal plaything, has now been indicted on two federal charge.” Crockett said, “Yeah, so here’s the thing. I want the American people to know that when you stand up to a bully, you win. Do not back down. Do not bend. You allow them to go and wage...

Former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director James Comey claimed he is innocent amid news Thursday that he has been federally indicted. Comey posted a video to his Instagram account wherein he said he was “not afraid” and felt ready to go to trial. “My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump. But we couldn’t imagine ourselves living any other way. We will not live on our knees, and you shouldn’t either. Somebody that I love dearly recently said that ‘fear is the tool of a tyrant,’ and she’s right....

Disclosure by the FBI to Congress answers a long-simmering question but does not reveal what the agents did that day. The FBI has acknowledged it had 274 plainclothes agents in the massive crowds on Jan. 6, 2021, more than four and a half years after questions were first raised about the level of FBI involvement that day, Blaze News has learned. A senior congressional source said the number is not necessarily a surprise, since the FBI often embeds countersurveillance personnel at large events. But given the FBI’s until-now steadfast refusal to disclose the level of its presence at the Capitol,...

Former FBI Director Chris Wray lied to Congress and the American people when he said under oath that there were no FBI agents undercover on January 6. – Congressional video VIDEOS AT LINK.................. It appears that James Comey could have a familiar cellmate when he is finally sent to prison for lying under oath to Congress and the American people. Former FBI Director Chris Wray lied and lectured House Republicans for accusing the FBI of planting informants/operatives/agents inside the massive crowd of Trump supporters on January 6, 2021. In a bold statement that directly contradicts multiple official sources, FBI Director...

Hidden for four years, an after-action report on FBI's involvement in Jan. 6 riot found by Director Patel shows dozens of agents feared that the FBI had become "woke" and "liberally biased." ============================================================= The FBI secretly deployed more than 250 plainclothes agents to the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot, an operation so disorganized it unleashed searing frustrations among many of the FBI's rank-and-file that the bureau had lost its core competencies to "wokeness" and allowed its employees to become “pawns in a political war,” according to an after-action report kept from the public for more than four...
