Smith doesn’t regret charging Trump Smith told lawmakers that he did not regret his decision to charge Trump in both felony indictments. "If asked whether to prosecute a former president based on the same facts today, I would do so regardless of whether that president was a Republican or a Democrat," he said. "No one should be above the law in our country, and the law required that he be held to account. So that is what I did." The former special counsel said his team had collected “overwhelming evidence” that could have secured convictions in both cases. "The evidence...

The FBI has caught 5 of the 10 most wanted fugitives in the first year of President Trump's second term. FBI Director Kash Patel said the criminals "spent over three decades collectively evading justice" and they have "been put in custody" in under 1 year.

On Saturday, Alejandro Rosales Castillo, one of the FBI’s most wanted fugitives, was being prepared for extradition to face murder charges in North Carolina. During a congressional hearing in September, Patel said the Biden...

President Donald Trump summoned FBI Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche to the White House on Wednesday. The president's public schedule described the meeting as an update on the fight against violent crime. But once everyone was in the room, Trump made it clear he had something else in mind. It was time, the president said, to speed the indictments of his political foes - the former officials who, he alleges, tried to destroy him and his family. Pointing up at the portraits of presidents Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Jackson which line the...

FOX: These indictments caused Obama to say democracy is being threatened. TRUMP: I know. He says that all the time - HE'S the one that threatened it by SPYING on my campaign. HE STARTED IT. Obama spied on my campaign. And he did it knowing it was illegal. But he started the whole thing! There were a lot of dishonest people - and I suspect they'll be caught!

FBI Director Kash Patel tells Just the News that the bureau is "on the verge" of unmasking the command structure and financing for anarchist groups like Antifa that have unleashed unrest around America and has also identified potential new criminal activity related to the abuse of federal law enforcement and intelligence. "We are looking at so many different leads on criminal activity by those who are in positions of power, and we're not going to stop until every single one of those is fully exposed," Patel said during a wide-ranging interview this week on the "Just the News, No Noise"...

Bondi/Patel are actively investigating Hillary Clinton's email server, and the manner in which James Comey and the FBI investigated (or didn't investigate it). Below are the Cliff's Notes version I am using to come up to speed on what the big deal was. And yes, it does seem like a big deal. I thought I'd let it soak over night before I post it as a thread tomorrow.### Greatest Risks Involved in Hillary Clinton's Email Server MishandlingThe greatest risks from the mishandling of TOP SECRET/Special Access Program (SAP) materials on Hillary Clinton's private email server centered on potential exposure of...

Mike Davis just dropped a bomb on Fox News during his chat with Maria Bartiromo… and if what he’s saying turns out to be true, we’re not just talking about another political scandal, folks. We’re talking about the indictment of the century. Ironically, for years, the left and their media puppets told America that “Russian collusion” was the crime of the century. But the real crime, as Mike cleverly points out, wasn’t anything that Trump did… it’s what the Obama-Biden-Hillary crew unleashed on President Trump. The Crossfire Hurricane hit job wasn’t just the usual political dirty tricks. It was the...

Republicans are turning the heat back up on the Trump administration for its handling of the Epstein files. Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie torched FBI Director Kash Patel over the weekend after he caught the bureau chief off guard on information that Patel should have already been privy to. “I told Director Kash Patel that the FBI has names of 20 men to whom Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women and girls,” Massie wrote on X. “This basic fact seemed to surprise him. Why? “Is the FBI withholding those names to protect the President’s rich and powerful friends?” Massie continued, before demanding that...
