  • House Report: FBI Misled the Public on 2017 GOP Baseball Shooting – Gun Owners Took the Fall While Left-Wing Terrorist Was Whitewashed

    Washington, D.C. – In a bombshell report released Tuesday, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence accused the FBI of deliberately downplaying the politically motivated 2017 shooting that nearly killed House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and injured several others. The shooter, James Hodgkinson, was a far-left extremist who opened fire on Republican congressmen practicing for the annual charity baseball game—but the FBI called it “suicide by cop.” That decision, the report says, wasn’t just wrong—it was dishonest. The 27-page unclassified report, compiled from more than 3,000 pages of FBI records recently turned over by new Director Kash Patel, reveals that...

    Newly-declassified memos written by disgraced FBI official Andrew McCabe shine new light on how he kept the Trump-Russia collusion hoax investigation alive during a critical period in the first half of 2017 before he got it handed off to a special counsel. The eight memos penned by McCabe, most of which had never been released until earlier this month, span his discussions and meetings (including with President Donald Trump) held from January 24, 2017 to May 21, 2017 — a critical time period ranging from just before the FBI sprung an interview on retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn to just...

    The top brass in the FBI and intelligence community were determined to stop President Trump from winning the White House in 2016, and they talked about removing him from office months after he was sworn in, according to newly released documents. The zeal to pin Russian collusion allegations on Mr. Trump spilled out of the 700 pages of emails, memos, interviews and other material connected to the 2016 “Crossfire Hurricane” probe that were newly made public by the Trump administration. Some of the material is familiar, released in 2021 by Mr. Trump on the final day of his first term....

FBI agents who blew the whistle on “wrongdoing” within the bureau — including one agent saying he wants to share further information about working under disgraced FBI official Peter Strzok — are calling upon the bureau, now led by Kash Patel, to review and resolve their claims of retaliation by Biden's FBI. Empower Oversight sent an early March letter to FBI general counsel Samuel Ramer,...

    Tell me the FBI needs Kash Patel without saying that the FBI needs Kash Patel. More than two years after filing a FOIA demand on the FBI for documents related to the Russia-collusion hoax, the bureau finally produced a six-page document detailing their probable cause for investigating Donald Trump. However, most of the document remains redacted, which means that we still don't know why Andrew McCabe made Trump a target after firing James Comey. Real Clear Investigations' Aaron Maté reports that the FBI wants to keep its "articulable factual basis" for probing whether Trump was a Russian agent under wraps:As...

    Former acting FBI Director-turned-CNN contributor Andrew McCabe ordered a criminal probe into then-President Donald Trump days after he fired FBI Director James Comey, using the discredited source of the Russia “dossier.” That is the claim made by RealClearInvestigations reporter Paul Sperry, based on newly-released documents. The FBI initiated its “Russia collusion” investigation in mid-2016 based on the “dossier” compiled by a former British spy, Christopher Steele, who was working for the opposition research firm Fusion GPS. Steele’s work had first been bankrolled by Trump’s conservative critics, then by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee (which hid the...

    Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said it is time to “change the context of gun ownership” in the United States following the Madison Christian school shooting. During a CNN broadcast, McCabe said: We’re [going] nowhere because it keeps happening. We know it’s going to happen again. It’s happening today. It’s going to happen again in the near future. I can guarantee you that and every time it happens, we do just about nothing. That doesn’t mean there aren’t things we can’t do. We could do things. We could — we could support and enact legislation that changes the —...

    It’s going to be awkward at FBI headquarters next month when President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the bureau likely takes over. *** Patel has promised to “clean house” at the Hoover Building, and hold all those who “abused their power” during the Russiagate “witch hunt” accountable. He might start with the officials and agents who secretly vacuumed up his phone records and emails starting in late 2017, when he led a House Intelligence Committee investigation into the FBI’s reliance on Hillary Clinton’s false opposition research to surveil a Trump campaign official as a supposed “Russian agent.” According to a...

    Donald Trump's choice of Kash Patel for director of the FBI is sending shockwaves throughout DC. Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe went into complete meltdown Sunday as he whined that Patel would spearhead a campaign of 'retribution.' McCabe, who backed the Russian interference investigation into Trump, claimed that Patel - a Trump loyalist - would use the FBI to further the president-elect's political agenda and crackdown on his enemies. His rant on CNN went viral as people were stunned by the apparent hypocrisy in his criticism of Patel, while he has previously made wild claims that Trump was a...

    WASHINGTON -- President-elect Donald Trump has picked Kash Patel to serve as FBI director, turning to a fierce loyalist to upend America's premier law enforcement agency and rid the government of perceived "conspirators." It's the latest bombshell Trump has thrown at the Washington establishment and a test for how far Senate Republicans will go in confirming his nominees. "I am proud to announce that Kashyap "Kash" Patel will serve as the next Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation," Trump posted Saturday night on Truth Social. "Kash is a brilliant lawyer, investigator, and 'America First' fighter who has spent his...

    At least four Democratic representatives from Connecticut said Thursday they were targeted with bomb threats while home celebrating Thanksgiving with their families. Reps. Joe Courtney, Jim Himes, John Larson and Jahana Hayes each issued statements revealing they were targeted with bomb threats, prompting law enforcement to respond. In each case, law enforcement ultimately found no evidence of a bomb and all four lawmakers have reported their families are safe. The incidents come one day after several of Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks and administration appointees were similarly targeted in what the president-elect’s transition team called “violent and unAmerican threats to their...

    President-elect Donald Trump reacted quickly to protests from supporters who believed that he would choose Mike Rogers as director of the FBI. Trump's long-serving advisor and social media director Dan Scavino delivered an update on the idea on Friday morning on his X account. 'Just spoke to President Trump regarding Mike Rogers going to the FBI,' he wrote. 'It’s not happening — In his own words, “I have never even given it a thought.” Not happening.' Rogers, a former FBI agent, congressman, and chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, ran unsuccessfully for Senator of Michigan in November but was a...

    Donald Trump can be seen as a Russian asset, though not in the traditional sense of an active agent or a recruited resource, an ex-FBI deputy director who worked under the former US president said. Asked on a podcast if he thought it possible Trump was a Russian asset, Andrew McCabe, who Trump fired as FBI deputy director in 2018, said: “I do, I do.” He added: “I don’t know that I would characterize it as [an] active, recruited, knowing asset in the way that people in the intelligence community think of that term. But I do think that Donald...
  • 7 Big Takeaways From Andrew McCabe’s Planned Coup

    McCabe's actions prove that the Russia probe was always tainted and that many in the FBI and DOJ aren’t public servants, but rather incompetent attention-seekers. If Washington, D.C. were a better place, former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe would be swiftly run out of town. He was fired last year for lying to the FBI’s inspector general at least four times regarding serious questions about multiple abuses that occurred while McCabe sat in a powerful and unelected office. These abuses included working with former FBI director James Comey to set up former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus for...
