The dismissals were the first time that prosecutors who worked on Jan. 6 cases and were past their probationary period of federal employment had been fired by the Justice Department. ... At least three federal prosecutors who worked on cases against Jan. 6 rioters were fired Friday by the Justice Department, according to more than half a dozen current and former officials familiar with the dismissals. ... they were “removed from federal service effective immediately.” ... The Trump administration in late January fired probationary federal prosecutors who worked on Jan. 6 cases and prosecutors who worked on former special counsel...

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal jury on Monday awarded $500,000 to the widow and estate of a police officer who killed himself nine days after he helped defend the U.S. Capitol from a mob of rioters, including a man who scuffled with the officer during the attack. The eight-member jury ordered that man, 69-year-old chiropractor David Walls-Kaufman, to pay $380,000 in punitive damages and $60,000 in compensatory damages to Erin Smith for assaulting her husband, Metropolitan Police Officer Jeffrey Smith, inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. They awarded an additional $60,000 to compensate Jeffrey Smith's estate for his pain...

There are at least a few intelligent subversives leading the charge at the LA riots. The organizers of this chaos appear to have realized that waving Mexican flags as if you're a conquistador claiming Los Angeles as part of Mexico was not a good look. So now they're handing American flags to protesters as a way to rehabilitate their image. This comes after days of footage showing them waving Mexican flags while torching cars, attacking police and burning U.S. flags. It's clear they realized the current optics were a disaster — now they're intentionally using American Flags in an attempt...

Five members of the Proud Boys are suing the U.S. government and certain employees in the FBI and Department of Justice for $100 million over their Jan. 6 prosecutions. Enrique Tarrio, Zachary Rehl, Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs and Dominic Pezzola allege in the lawsuit the FBI and DOJ violated their constitutional rights... ... the men claim "egregious and systemic abuse of the legal system and the United States Constitution to punish and oppress political allies of President Trump, by any and all means necessary, legal, or illegal. "Through the use of evidence tampering, witness intimidation, violations of attorney-client privilege, and...

Fired Federal Attorney who wrongfully sent Jan 6 prisoners to prison cries about losing job.

Thank you for your patience. Apparently, public backlash from the Kash Patel and Dan Bongino interview with Maria Bartiromo has penetrated the membrane around them. FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announces the FBI “reform teams” will likely be in place next week. From there, they will begin reviewing subjects of interest to the American people, including: (1) the J6 pipe bomber, (2) the White House cocaine user, and (3) the Dobbs leaker. ... The Director and I will have most of our incoming reform teams in place by next week. The hiring process can take a little bit of time,...

– The U.S. government has agreed to pay nearly $5 million to the family of Ashli Babbitt, the Jan. 6 rioter who was fatally shot by police during the 2021 attack on the Capitol, according to multiple reports on Monday. The Washington Post first reported the settlement, citing two people “briefed on the matter” who said the Trump administration has agreed to it, with roughly one-third of the money going to the lawyers representing Babbitt’s family. Tom Manger, the outgoing U.S. Capitol Police chief, confirmed the settlement news to CBS, adding that he told the police force he was “extremely...

From habeas petition to its ruling, it took the Supreme Court only about 24 hours to provide relief to Tren de Aragua foreign terrorists.

MRC President Brent Bozell and MRC Free Speech America Vice President Dan Schneider rebuked the Soros empire for financing groups that have voiced support for the terrorist group Hamas. In an Oct. 12 letter to Open Society Foundations (OSF) founder George Soros and his son — OSF Chairman Alex Soros — Bozell and Schneider called on both George and Alex Soros to disclose all of their pro-Hamas grantees, publicly disavow them and terminate all funding to those groups. “Given that your donations have gone straight into the bloodstream of those who seek to exterminate Jews and push Israel into the...

Within weeks of the embarrassment of the 2022 red trickle midterm elections, Tillis thought it would be a good idea to get into bed with the Democrats on a hideous amnesty bill that was an homage to Barack. The timing was almost as bad as the bill itself. ... Now Tillis is throwing his second hissy fit of the year — opposing Pete Hegseth's confirmation as Secretary of Defense — and has become a fly in the ointment regarding Ed Martin’s nomination as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. Tillis takes umbrage with Martin's support of J6 defendants, especially...

John Strand :: I was sentenced to nearly 3 years in prison—not for violence on J6, but for standing my ground and refusing to bow to a rigged political prosecution.. Now Senator Thom Tillis wants to block Ed Martin—one of the few fighting for real justice. We see you, @SenThomTillis .

In defending the Biden DOJ's lawfare against his own constituents, Sen. Thom Tillis not only could sink interim DC US Attorney Ed Martin's confirmation but end ongoing investigations at the office. At the heart of the systemically corrupt Department of Justice beats the office of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia. Nearly every politically-driven prosecution in Washington starts and ends there: for example, the first official act of Matthew Graves, the Biden appointed DC US Attorney, was to hand up a criminal indictment against Trump confidant Steve Bannon for contempt of Congress in November 2021. The office is...

Mike Pence may be despised by his own supporters, but it appears he has many admirers in left-wing circles. The former vice-president, who betrayed President Trump and the entire MAGA movement by refusing to challenge the widespread fraud that tainted the 2020 presidential results, collected the “John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award” on Sunday evening as recognition of his actions. Addressing the liberal audience, Pence described January 6th as a “tragic day” and took thinly veiled shots at the Trump administration. “Our institutions held that day, not because of any one person, but because leaders in both political parties,...

'They need to agree to serious long term changes'.. Robby Starbuck is standing firm in his lawsuit against Meta after its chatbot defamed him for almost a year, saying the time for apologies is over. "It’s too late to solve this with an apology. It’s been nearly a year. People doxxed my kids," Starbuck told ... The anti-DEI crusader alleged that Meta’s AI chatbot gave users false and defamatory statements about him, wrongly claiming he is a White supremacist who was arrested as part of the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, in a lawsuit filed in Delaware Superior Court Tuesday. Starbuck...

During his Senate confirmation hearing, Joe Kent, Trump’s pick for director of the National Counterterrorism Center, dropped a bombshell. Kent, who is a former Green Beret, stated in no uncertain terms that Trump’s intelligence community is actively investigating the FBI’s possible role in orchestrating the chaos on January 6th.Yep—he said it out loud.And this wasn’t just some wild claim made on social media or on a random podcast. This was a nominee, under oath, during a Senate hearing, all but confirming that the “fedsurrection” theory—that the FBI actually helped incite and direct the melee at the Capitol—is being taken very...

Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that President Donald Trump was “violating the fundamental rights of people in order to punish them.” Partial transcript as follows: STEPHANOPOULOS: You saw Jon Karl’s piece about the president’s retribution campaign, he promised to be the retribution during the campaign. We’re seeing these moves against universities. We’re seeing these moves against law firms. You took the Senate floor to protest. What should these law firms and universities do? BOOKER: Well, first and foremost, you’re calling retribution, but it’s something far worse than that. If you look around the world, from...

President Trump has said he will look into the status of Capitol police officer Michael Byrd.As readers will remember, Byrd is the man who murdered January 6th protester Ashli Babbitt in cold blood.While protesters were aggressively persecuted and imprisoned, Byrd was cleared of any wrongdoing following an investigation by his superiors.After avoiding criminal prosecution, he was given a medal by the Biden regime and has since been promoted to a higher position.In an interview with Greg Kelly over on Newsmax, Trump was asked about Babbitt’s murder by Byrd and whether he should still be in his position.Trump has promised to...

A year ago, Wooz News put this video, laying out all of the organizing groups around the capitol and then continues to point them out in various roles throughout the day. It is clever, funny and right on target.

Well, looks like another Deep State darling is biting the dust. This time, it’s Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger—and let’s just say, the timing is more than a little suspicious. ... Chief J. Thomas Manger will retire from the U.S. Capitol Police on May 2, his office announced Tuesday. […] Manger’s four years on the Hill weren’t without incident. In January, a man managed to slip a handgun past security while on a Capitol tour. The incident provoked bipartisan condemnation from House Administration Chair Bryan Steil, R-Wis., and ranking member Joseph D. Morelle, D-N.Y. “The USCP has requested a nearly...

FBI Director Kash Patel has made good on his promise to restore integrity within the Bureau. Patel has officially turned over explosive documents related to the mysterious pipe bomb incidents on January 6th to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and his investigative committee. Patel’s decisive move responds to Chairman Jordan’s aggressive subpoena from late February, demanding the FBI finally come clean about critical investigations that many conservatives argue have been shrouded in suspicious secrecy by former leadership. With trust at historic lows following years of controversial actions by Biden administration holdovers, Director Patel’s compliance signals a strong shift towards...
