Elon Musk just dropped a bombshell on the Joe Rogan Experience, confirming what many Americans have long suspected—Washington, D.C. is a cesspool of corruption, and the Democrats are the primary beneficiaries. “I think maybe three-quarters of the graft is Democratic. I think there’s maybe 20–25% that’s Republican,” Musk revealed, exposing how the system is rigged for political elites. “Most of the graft is going to the Democrats, but they throw some bones to the Republicans too, so then they’re in on it.” In a shocking but unsurprising exchange, Musk and Rogan discussed the absurd wealth accumulation of members of Congress,...

The federal whistleblower protection agency has concluded the IRS wrongly retaliated against two agents who blew the whistle on political interference in the Hunter Biden criminal investigation and may have violated federal law by trying to gag the agents from disclosing wrongdoing, according to correspondence to Congress made public Wednesday. The Empower Oversight whistleblower center, which represented one of the agents, Gary Shapley, disclosed the findings of the Office of Special Counsel in a letter sent to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. Empower Oversight had filed a complaint with OSC in May 2023 alleging that Shapley and his...

An order signed by President Trump on Tuesday signals a new front in fighting lawfare operatives in the private sector. As an aide started to explain the latest order about to be signed during a press conference in the White House on Tuesday afternoon, President Trump interrupted his spiel. “Hold it, this is a good one,” the president, holding up his hand, said to several reporters assembled in the Oval Office. “Is everybody listening? We’re going to call it the ‘Deranged Jack Smith’...bill.” The order, in the form of a memo to several agency heads, suspended the security clearance of...

Squads of FBI agents were escorted out of field offices in New York, Miami and Washington. Agents who were escorted from the Miami office were involved in the Mar-a-Lago documents case ... Everyone involved in that raid knew it was wrong ... We were just following orders ... Fire Driscoll immediately. File charges against him and prosecute him in the Miami courts. The next one will comply. Play by their rules. They set the precedent. ... If Mr Driscoll felt so strongly about not complying with a lawful command, he should have resigned his post. Instead, his “team” drove him...

Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll is on shaky ground with Department of Justice leaders for refusing to deliver the names of bureau employees involved in Jan. 6 cases and other Trump investigations. President Trump tapped Mr. Driscoll, an FBI veteran, to lead the bureau temporarily while his nominee for director, Kash Patel, goes through the Senate confirmation process. But questions remain over whether Mr. Driscoll can stay in the job before Mr. Patel is confirmed and sworn in. Acting Deputy Attorney General Emil Bove on Friday ordered Mr. Driscoll to compile a list of all current and former FBI employees...

A federal judge on Tuesday ruled that the Justice Department cannot share special counsel Jack Smith's classified documents report with members of Congress. U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon extended the hold she had placed blocking the DOJ from sharing with four lawmakers Smith's report on his probe into President Donald Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents. "In short, the Department offers no valid justification for the purportedly urgent desire to release to members of Congress case information in an ongoing criminal proceeding," Cannon wrote in an order published Tuesday, the day after Trump returned to office. Cannon, who dismissed...

Thank you for your service, Mr. Attorney General! Watch this at your own peril.

Republicans roasted Attorney General Merrick Garland on social media after a video of him doing a victory lap while leaving the Department of Justice became viral. In the clip, which was posted on Friday via X, a celebratory Garland walked and thanked cheering department staffers while the outgoing AG exited out of the building. But, in response, prominent critics of Garland blasted the attorney general and his record. Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) ripped Garland in a fiery X post. “Merrick Garland has left @TheJusticeDept for the FINAL TIME,” Donalds said. “His DOJ attacked political opponents. His DOJ was unprecedentedly weaponized....

FORT PIERCE, Florida — A federal judge appeared highly skeptical Friday of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s plan to show lawmakers the volume of special counsel Jack Smith’s report pertaining to his now dismissed criminal case against President-elect Donald Trump for hoarding classified documents. With the clock counting down towards Trump’s inauguration on Monday, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon expressed serious doubts about nearly every argument a Justice Department attorney put forward for allowing the department to show four congressional leaders the portion of Smith’s report covering the classified-information probe. Over the course of a 90-minute public hearing, Cannon — a...

Yes, he was being serious. Joe Biden is a congenital liar who can’t seem to remember anything, so I have no idea whether what he said he did a month ago is true, but apparently…Biden is lamenting his decision to appoint Merrick Garland because the prosecutor failed to persecute Trump quick enough and hard enough: President Joe Biden is quietly expressing regret about appointing Merrick Garland as attorney general. According to a report in The Washington Post, Biden believes Garland was slow to prosecute Donald Trump for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, and allowed for an...

Special counsel Jack Smith’s report on President-elect Donald Trump will be released to the public, Department of Justice (DOJ) officials said on Jan. 8. Attorney General Merrick Garland intends to release part one of the report, which deals with Trump, “in furtherance of the public interest in informing a co-equal branch and the public regarding this significant matter,” officials said in a court filing to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit. Smith has already transmitted the report to Garland, officials said. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday had ordered the department not to release the report...

Outgoing US Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday defended his persecution aggressive prosecution of Trump supporters who merely walked through the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Garland released a statement ahead of Congress’s certification of the 2024 election. More than 1,500 January 6ers – many nonviolent, first time offenders – have been charged by Merrick Garland’s DOJ in the last four years. Biden’s DOJ hunted down MAGA grandmothers and other non-violent offenders and threw them in the DC gulag. Merrick Garland defended his actions and told a whopper of a lie about DC Metro and Capitol police officers. “On this...

WASHINGTON — DC US Attorney Matthew Graves announced Monday that he will resign before President-elect Donald Trump retakes the White House — likely avoiding an involuntary departure after controversial decisions not to criminally charge first son Hunter Biden and most local crimes. “Serving as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia has been the honor of a lifetime,” Graves said in a statement announcing his resignation, effective Jan. 16. “I am deeply thankful to [DC Delegate Eleanor] Holmes Norton for recommending me; to President Biden for nominating me; and to Attorney General [Merrick] Garland for placing his trust in...
