Investigative journalist John Solomon has uncovered a smoking-gun email from Obama’s Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates explicitly ordering FBI agents to shut down a criminal corruption probe into the Clinton Foundation. Thanks to Judicial Watch, the American public was made aware of Hillary Clinton’s private email server. Hillary Clinton conducted official business on a non-government server so she could hide her Clinton Foundation pay-to-play while she was head of the Department of State. According to emails obtained by Judicial Watch, Hillary Clinton gave preferential treatment to Clinton Foundation donors while she was Secretary of State. In fact, Judge Royce...

President Trump should have purged every single Obama appointee down to the city dog catcher. It is nothing short of astonishing that not one FBI agent came forward and spoke out against this treasonous plot. These agencies are irretrievably broken. …this entire operation was a deliberate and direct attack on the foundation of American governance. As for Barack Hussein Obama, he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law and hounded like our great President has been hounded for the past four years. Obama, Biden Oval Office Meeting On January 5 Was Key To Entire Anti-Trump Operation...

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....

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...

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.'
