The Washington Examiner reports that the suit was filed on behalf of Babbitt’s estate and her husband, Aaron Babbitt, and claims the officer who shot Babbitt was “incompetent” and “dangerous” and should have recognized Babbitt posed no threat to Congress when she entered the House speaker’s lobby. Kyle Cheney from Politico posted the news on X this Friday afternoon. UPDATE: The radical leftist judge on the case, Ana Reyes, is SCREAMING at both sides in the courtroom. Insane! Via Julie Kelly:

Pour one out for Jack Smith. After two years of fawning press coverage and promises that the international war-crimes prosecutor would finally put Donald Trump behind bars, the special counsel today hammered the final nail in his own battered coffin by dropping his four-count J6-related indictment in Washington against the incoming president. The move represents yet another failure by the Democratic apparatchik who once ran the Department of Justice’s public integrity unit under the Obama administration. Since then, Smith has been on a losing streak unmatched in DOJ history, suffering one loss after another before the Supreme Court and trial...

Sixty-three days until Trump and the DOGE Team arrive in D.C. to deliver the rule of law, and justice will return to America.

After a year of legal, judicial, and political drama, Special Counsel Jack Smith just filed a superseding indictment to replace the first indictment he handed down against Donald Trump in August 2023 related to the events of January 6 and the former president’s alleged attempts to “overturn” the 2020 election. Trump faces the four same charges—three conspiracy and one obstruction count—but the new version is nine pages shorter as Smith had to follow the presidential immunity guidance set forth by the Supreme Court in the Trump v US opinion published on July 1. The special counsel removed a large swath...

Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 Now is a good time to remind everyone that Jack Smith is and always has been a stone-cold loser. His J6 case is barely on life support in DC after he fudged the case. Judge Cannon is systematically destroying his docs case in addition to destroying the reputation and sanity of his prosecutors in Florida. And Justice Thomas just gave Cannon one more reason to dismiss docs case for unlawful appointment of Smith--a defense motion currently pending in her court:

HOLY ****: Special Counsel Jack Smith just admitted the FBI added cover sheets to alleged classified documents found at MAL and took photos for evidence. This confirms my report from last month that the FBI doctored evidence to produce stunt photos of classified docs at MAL:

Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 This is the hottest piece on the interwebs. Don't miss it. Milley's involvement in Jan 6--and why did he classify all his J6-related records immediately afterwards?

Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 Retweeted @RealStevefriend @RealStevefriend The Vegas shooter’s girlfriend did it. She was assisted by Larry Nassar. A member of the Wolverine Watchmen drove the getaway car. @julie_kelly2 Quote Tweet Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 · 37m Two years ago tonight, some rando allegedly set pipe bombs outside DNC and RNC HQ. Kamala Harris, who’s never been asked about it, was reportedly at DNC when devices found. Let’s commemorate one of FBIs biggest investigative failures. http://ow.ly/lMoV50Mily5

Spent most of the day at Ft. Pierce federal courthouse to cover two hearings in classified docs case.Special Counsel team's frustration with Judge Aileen Cannon is really evident.And it's glorious.David Harbach, one of Smith's lead prosecutors and usually a cool customer in court, had a series of mini temper tantrums this morning. At times pounding his fist on the podium and clapping his hands in anger to emphasize a point, Harbach was totally unprofessional, demeaning, and petulant.Cannon asked Harbach to "calm down" during one diatribe about accusations DOJ threatened one of the defense attorneys to get his client to flip...

An exhibit filed today by Donald Trump in a motion to suppress evidence seized during the FBI’s August 2022 raid of Mar-a-Lago revealed shocking new details about the bureau’s plans to use deadly force and even engage the former president and his security detail that day if necessary.

Judge Cannon on Tuesday unsealed numerous motions related to Jack Smith’s classified documents case against Trump. One filing revealed Biden’s FBI authorized the use of deadly force during their raid on Mar-a-Lago in August 2022. Armed FBI agents were prepared to confront Trump!! “Should FPOTUS [Trump] arrive at MAL [Mar-a-Lago], FBI MM EM and OSCs will be prepared to engage with FPOTUS and USSS Security Team.”

Revolver’s very own Darren Beattie, who’s made waves with his investigative deep dives into the January 6 “Fedsurrection,” is at it again. He’s just unleashed another bombshell. This time, he’s shining a spotlight on a J6 character who’s been lurking in the shadows. Meet Donell Harvin, the latest Trump-hating Deep Stater who conveniently pulled a “Miss Cleo” and “predicted” the entire J6 pipe bomb scenario way before it actually unfolded. That seems a bit fantastical, right? It makes you wonder: is the government running psychic hotlines these days, or is something far more sinister at play? Probably the latter. Thankfully,...

Newly unredacted documents in the Mar-a-Lago raid case indicate that Jack Smith was after Obama and North Korea-related documents. After the raid the DOJ was pleased with their findings and wrote, “I think we are in good shape.” President Trump said two years after he met Obama before his 2017 Inauguration that Obama was on the brink of starting a war with North Korea. Trump claimed that Obama was “close to starting a big war” with North Korea. Obama must not have liked this. The corrupt and criminal Obama/Biden gang was after documents related to North Korea years later when...

by Julie KellyAs I noted yesterday, Elizabeth Prelogar totally misrepresented (lied?) how DOJ routinely handles sentencing requests for those convicted of 1512c2. Under questioning from Kavanaugh about prison sentences, Prelogar tried to make it sound like 1512c2 defendants with other nonviolent offenses (common misdemeanors) only get about 24 months in jail. She quickly mentioned the "Brock" case--referring to Larry Brock, a man from Texas convicted at bench trial of 1512c2 and 5 misdemeanors--and the "enhancement" recently overturned by DC appellate court in 1512c2 convictions. So what did DOJ ask for in Brock case? Not 24-26 months as Prelogar attempted to...

[This is a compilation of several X/Twitter posts made by Julie Kelly who is attending the Trump Classified Documents Hearing, that is also attended by Jack Smith and Donald Trump. You can read the entire thread, including future updates, at the source link.] LUNCH BREAK in Florida courtroom of Judge Cannon in classified documents case. President Trump arrived at 9:55 along with his attorneys and co-defendants. Special Counsel Jack Smith here too but did not speak during morning session. Judge Cannon appears unfazed by yet another historic hearing in her courtroom. She peppered Smith’s team with questions about timing of...

According to a new Jack Smith filing the DOJ may be a part of the scandal of the ‘missing’ Secret Service text messages. Jack Smith in his Monday night filing objected to Trump’s demands for evidence from the Department of Homeland Security and January 6 Committee. Per Julie Kelly: It appears DOJ is part of the scandal of the missing Secret Service texts. As I reported a few days ago, thousands of texts between 2 dozen Secret Service officials/agents including the director and Robert Engel–the agent Trump allegedly attacked on J6 according to Cassidy Hutchinson–were deleted at the end of...

Defense attorneys have coined the term “January 6 Jurisprudence” to describe the treatment received by the more than 1,200 defendants arrested so far in connection with the events of Jan. 6, 2021. This carve-out legal system involves the unprecedented and possibly unlawful use of a corporate evidence-tampering statute; excessive prison sentences and indefinite periods of pretrial incarceration; and the designation of nonviolent offenses as federal crimes of terrorism. The results so far appear to contradict the court’s collective conclusion. Court records show the jury selection process has repeatedly revealed a strong degree of bias against anyone tied to Jan. 6....

Rep Jim Jordan and David Schoen join Mark Levin on Life, Liberty and Levin tonight, September 10 at 8pm Eastern on Fox News.

As he makes his actions on January 6 the centerpiece of his campaign, Pence appears to have a different recollection than those of his top aides. During last week’s GOP debate in Milwaukee, the former vice president forced his Republican opponents to thank him for allegedly saving the republic on January 6, 2021. “The American people deserve to know whether everyone on this stage agrees that I kept my oath to the Constitution that day,” Pence declared. Unfortunately, the rest of the field complied. “Mike Pence stood for the Constitution and he deserves not grudging credit, he deserves our thanks...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has a canned response when asked any question related to the events of January 6, 2021: It’s time to move on. On the campaign trail, DeSantis often claims that January 6 will be a losing issue in the general election. The governor repeated that warning at the debate in Milwaukee on Wednesday night, insisting the 2024 election “is not about January 6 of 2021, it’s about January 20 of 2025.” DeSantis has neatly sidestepped the matter of January 6 since announcing his run for president, entirely avoiding any mention of the date until recently.
