Newly obtained emails reveal that former president Joe Biden's White House was involved from the beginning in the investigation into the classified documents found at Donald Trump's residence in Mar-a-Lago. Trump has been under intense investigation by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The official narrative suggested that Trump had retained sensitive materials without authorization, which led to an FBI raid at his Mar-a-Lago residence in August 2022. However, these new revelations confirm coordination between the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and senior officials before the official referral to the Department of...

ALL CASES AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP MUST EITHER BE DROPPED BY PROSECUTORS OR DISMISSED BY THE RELEVANT COURTS For half a century, it has been the position of Democrat and Republican administrations, that the DOJ cannot indict a sitting president. This position has been justified for a myriad of reasons, all of which come down to the fact, that the president is the head of the executive branch, and unelected prosecutors, juries, and judges cannot exercise a power that makes it impossible for a president to carry out his constitutional duties while defending his liberty and reputation in a courtroom. To...

First, the transfer of power happens on January 20 not January 6. (And DOJ let off the hook hundreds of 2017 inaugural rioters.) Second, there is no law guaranteeing the "peaceful transfer of power." Which is why the Constitution provides several weeks between election day and inauguration day with both a state and congressional certification process and opportunities to contest the results. Third, as he brags about the nearly 1,500 J6ers arrested and charged so far for January 6--including at least seven last week during the DNC--most face misdemeanors.

Full statement: The Justice Department issued the following statement from Attorney General Merrick B. Garland: “From the beginning of his tenure, President Biden has made clear in both word and deed that he stands for the rule of law and for the Justice Department’s critical mission to protect the safety and the civil rights of everyone in our country. I am grateful for his leadership and for the enormous respect he has shown for the 115,000 public servants of the Justice Department over the past three and a half years. As President Biden has noted, there is critical governing work...

Judge Aileen Cannon's dismissal of Donald Trump's classified documents case may backfire on the former president, according to a slew of legal experts, potentially landing the presumptive Republican nominee in another court where he'd be less likely to win on the merits. In her decision Monday, Cannon opined that the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith by the Department of Justice violated the Constitution. But she had long frustrated prosecutors and legal observers before this week for repeatedly delaying the trial and appearing partial towards Trump's team, culminating now in a ruling that one expert called "jurisprudential garbage." The decision,...

A pair of Senate Democrats has asked the Justice Department to criminally investigate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas over travel given as gifts and a loan for a luxury car from wealthy donor friends. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., who chairs the Judiciary subcommittee on federal courts, and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden of Oregon sent a letter last week asking Attorney General Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel to examine whether Thomas violated federal ethics and tax laws when he didn't disclose as income more than $267,000 of a loan that was allegedly forgiven in 2008.

House Republicans filed a lawsuit on July 1 against Attorney General Merrick Garland, seeking to force the Department of Justice (DOJ) to release the audiotapes of special counsel Robert Hur’s interview with President Joe Biden in his classified documents probe.The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, also asks the court to require the DOJ to hand over the audio of Mr. Hur’s interview with President Biden’s ghostwriter, Mark Zwonitzer, who wrote two memoirs for him.The legal action came after the House Republicans last month voted to hold Mr. Garland in contempt for failing to...

Just now, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna appeared in public to discuss the arrest of Barack Obama’s failed Supreme Court Justice nominee and America’s most crooked ever Attorney General. We are here today because of the double standard that exists within the justice system. As you know, on February 27, the Oversight Committee, as well as the House Judiciary, had sent a subpoena to Attorney General Garland, of which we received no response, and after referring him for criminal contempt within 48 hours or less, the Department of Justice refused to prosecute. Inherent contempt is clearly within our Article One authority,...

While she was recovering from the birth of her first child and unable to vote, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna learned of an obscure House procedure that could see Attorney General Merrick Garland arrested. Frustrated that the DOJ hasn't acted on the House holding Garland in criminal contempt earlier this month, she will force a vote on an 'inherent contempt resolution' this week. The criminal contempt resolution referred Garland to his own Justice Department for criminal charges after he refused to hand over the audio of Biden's special counsel interview. But the DOJ quickly announced it will not act on the...

GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said last week that she will bring force an inherent contempt vote to the House floor after the DOJ declined to prosecute US Attorney General Merrick Garland. (snip) Rep. Luna wrote:“It’s being reported Garland is CALLING moderate Republicans asking them to vote against holding him in inherent contempt. Garland, you can make this all go away by handing over the tapes. You’re willfully ignoring congressional issued subpoenas…Garland is now calling Republican members of congress pressuring them to NOT vote for inherent contempt. This is the definition of corruption. He thinks he is above the law...

Attorney General Merrick Garland was voted in contempt of Congress last week by the U.S. House of Representatives after repeatedly refusing to hand over the audio interview conducted by former Special Counsel Robert Hur with President Joe Biden. The interview was part of Hur's investigation into Biden's mishandling of classified information when he left the U.S. Senate and vice presidency.

This week, Attorney General Merrick Garland took to the pages of the Washington Post to lash out at critics who are spreading what he considers “conspiracy theories crafted and spread for the purpose of undermining public trust in the judicial process itself.” His column, titled “Unfounded attacks on the Justice Department must end,” missed the point. It is Garland himself who has become the problem. The solution is in Wilmington, Delaware, where 12 average citizens just showed a commitment to the rule of law that seems to be harder and harder for the attorney general to meet. Since his appointment,...

THOSE AUDIO RECORDINGS OF BIDEN'S ESPIONAGE TESTIMONY MUST BE UNIMAGINABLY SHOCKING -- HENCE, THE GARLAND COVERUP Merritt Garland MUST be held in contempt by the House. There is NO privilege that allows Garland to withhold the audio tapes of Joe Biden's interview by Special Counsel Robert Hurr. Indeed, Garland has already released the text to the House, but he edited the texts. Regardless, there is no privilege, if there had been a privilege it was waived with the release of the text, the text does not exactly reflect Biden's testimony, and the legislative branch (in this case, the House) has...

The FBI Security Division questioned employees about a fellow agent’s views on COVID vaccines, Donald Trump, and a Second Amendment rally, according to whistleblower disclosures made to the Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General on Saturday. This revelation raises more concerns that the FBI’s leadership has become hopelessly politicized and seeks to purge itself of agents with certain disfavored views.

Merrick Garland is no “by-the-book” attorney general. Even now, Garland is refusing to hand over audio recordings of President Joe Biden’s interviews with former special counsel Robert Hur over the president’s hoarding of classified documents, despite a congressional subpoena. As the Department of Justice stonewalls Congress, it is also prosecuting the Republican Party’s presidential candidate for the very crimes the Hur tape supposedly “exonerates” Biden from. Considering the Hur transcript has already been released — and we know that Biden lied about it — there is even less justification for withholding the audio. And considering the DOJ has apparently cleaned...

Jack Poso 🇺🇸 @JackPosobiec BREAKING: GARLAND TO LAUNCH 'ELECTION THREAT TASK FORCE' TO GO AFTER ANYONE QUESTIONING ELECTION INTEGRITY IN 2024 HE WILL CREATE FBI ATTACK TEAMS TO TARGET ANYONE ATTEMPTING TO VERIFY OUR ELECTION PROCESS

Hodgetwins @hodgetwins Ron DeSantis knew about the raid on Trump and told Merrick Garland "Thanks for the heads up" (Garland to topple Trump. Cyberspace Command reportedly has text messages in which Garland writes, "We're coming," and DeSantis responds, "Thanks for the heads up," timestamped three hours before the FBI swarm illegally and unprecedentedly violated the home of a President of the United States.)

luca Brasi was both protector and enforcer to Don Vito Corleone in the movie The Godfather. Today, Merrick Garland reprises that role for Joe Biden while Garland claims to be the god of all things legal and immune to the law itself. The House of Representatives had demanded the complete recordings of SCO Robert Hur's interview with Biden regarding Biden reckless handling of highly classified materials over the years. Hur recommended that while Biden was guilty that he face no criminal charges because he was a decrepit and forgetful old man. Biden, who had previously insisted that he had nothing...
