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...

A sloppy update to software made by US cybersecurity giant CrowdStrike has taken PCs and servers used by airlines, railways, banks, broadcasters and even medical facilities around the world offline. For anyone following US politics over the past decade or so, the company’s name should be eerily familiar.CrowdStrike is making global headlines (and causing global headaches) this week after an update released Friday morning afflicted thousands of corporate machines running Microsoft products with the infamous blue screen of death error. While the company has already put out a fix, the buggy update is expected to cause billions of dollars and...

The Democrat party has three main factions vying for control. One of them is the Biden family. Another consists of down-ballot Democrat office-holders. The third one is composed of the intelligence agency heads, leaders of the dark state. There is also a fourth faction. ... The Biden family is a massive business that produces nothing except corrupt political influence. It is exemplified in Joe Biden’s laughing boast that he successfully coerced the Ukrainian government to fire its prosecutor, who was exposing the crimes of Hunter Biden. Hunter was a highly paid board member of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma. Hunter...

Law enforcement officials admitted it was “surprising” how the gunman was able to get so many shots off in the attempted assassination on former President Donald Trump before he was taken out by Secret Service snipers. During a press conference early Sunday, officials from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pennsylvania State Police deferred several questions about security to the Secret Service — who were notably absent. When asked if he was surprised at the number of shots the gunman was able to take at a former president, Kevin Rojek, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh field...

Gov. Chris Sununu (R) signed legislation on July 12 blocking credit card companies from tracking firearm and firearm-related sales in New Hampshire. By signing the legislation, HB 1186, Sununu secured New Hampshire as the 17th state in which credit cards cannot track such sales. The NRA-ILA reported: firearms, ammunition, or firearm accessories, and provides a civil penalty for violations. This critical legislation protects gun-owners privacy and ensures that bad actors cannot use credit and debit card transactions to create a gun-registry or block cardholders from making gun-related purchase.

Biden’s corrupt Justice Department will continue to pursue the two lawfare cases against Trump past election day if Trump wins. According to a leak to The Washington Post, Special Counsel Jack Smith will continue to file motions and possibly conduct a trial after Election Day if Trump wins in a race against the clock before Inauguration Day. The Justice Department cannot charge a sitting president so they want to ‘get Trump’ before he is sworn in on January 20, 2025. “Justice Department officials plan to pursue the criminal cases against Donald Trump past Election Day even if he wins, under...

Jim Jordan, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, declared on Wednesday that the entire Congress would vote to find U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress over his refusal to provide President Joe Biden with requested documents.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fl) has pivoted from her initial hardline stance against US Attorney General Merrick Garland. The House had previously voted 216 to 207 to hold Garland in contempt for failing to hand over the Robert Hur audio tape of his interview with President Joe Biden. The lone Republican siding with Democrats was Rep. David Joyce from Ohio. After promising to direct the House sergeant-at-arms to take Garland into custody, Luna has now proposed a daily fine of $10,000 until Garland complies with their subpoena. A source familiar with the situation revealed that she agreed to postpone the...

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:

Details have emerged about two individuals at the heart of an FBI political corruption investigation in Oakland, California, which saw the raid of Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao’s home last week. The Gateway Pundit previously reported that FBI agents raided a home owned by Democrat Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao. An FBI spokesperson told the press that agents were conducting “court-authorized law enforcement” at Thao’s property. The focus of the investigation is on David Duong, CEO of California Waste Solutions, and his son, Andy Duong. Both have deep-seated ties to Democratic politicians and businesses, NBC Bay Area reported. Their business dealings and...

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...

A Cleveland digital newspaper was forced to retract a guest column on Tuesday after it was published with significant factual errors about FBI whistleblowers who made protected disclosures to Congress, including claims they engaged in unlawful conduct. The error-riddled paragraphs were tucked away at the end of an opinion piece critical of Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, whose Weaponization Committee received testimony from the whistleblowers about their experiences in the bureau. Although the original article was deleted, an archived version can be found here. The article was removed from the newspaper’s website, cleveland.com, after it was published by The Plain Dealer...

Former Donald Trump adviser Steven Bannon has pledged that a second Trump term will bring “accountability” to those involved in the ex-president’s prosecutions.Speaking at a Turning Point USA event in Detroit on Saturday, Bannon singled out Attorney General Merrick Garland, Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, and Special Counsel Jack Smith.Trump, who was convicted in New York last month of falsifying business records, is under federal indictment in two jurisdictions, where he faces charges of trying to overturn the 2020 election and retaining classified documents after leaving office. The former president has also been indicted in Georgia for trying to overturn...

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.

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,...
