President Trump’s approval rating has edged up, driven by long-term confidence in his economy and boosted by the lackluster performances of the two dozen Democrats trying to beat him in the 2020 election, according to the latest Zogby Analytics poll. The contrarian survey, provided exclusively to Secrets, pushes back on some other recent polls showing a surge in Trump’s disapproval rating. Namely, it found that recent issues portrayed as trouble for Trump haven’t hurt him and that he is growing in support among Africans Americans, Hispanics, independents, and younger voters. “President Trump's job approval has continued to rise the last...

Rob Reiner doubled down on his impeachment rhetoric today after the president urged Israel to deny entry to Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. Calling the president “an ignoramus” for “suggesting two duly elected members of Congress be refused entry to Israel,” Reiner claims it’s time to impeach. Well, that’s when he got smacked down by patriotic Americans. You’ll love this. Poor Rob Reiner. The former “All in the Family” star who played the role of “Meathead” gambled and lost big time on his campaign to out President Donald Trump as a Russian asset and spy beholden to Vladimir Putin....

All but four of Hillary Clinton’s 30,000 emails were copied, likely secretly, to a Gmail address called CarterHeavyIndustries@gmail.com, according to a new Senate report. The FBI says that the account was linked to Paul Combetta, an IT aide Clinton hired who used BleachBit to destroy emails after they were subpoenaed and misled FBI agents. Combetta said he sent all of her emails to the Gmail account as part of trying to copy them to a new server. Combetta was copying Clinton’s emails off of an old laptop that he was supposed send back in the mail, but there’s no evidence...

State Department confirms multiple security incidents involving Clinton email investigation Fifteen individuals are believed to have mishandled classified information. Interviews with intelligence community officials have revealed that senior FBI leaders "seemed indifferent to evidence of a possible intrusion by a foreign adversary" into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s non-government email server, and that State Department officials allegedly sought to "downgrade classified material found on the server," according to Senate investigators still probing the matter. The information was contained in a letter and interview transcripts sent Monday by the majority staff on the Senate Finance and Homeland Security and Governmental...

Full title: Gregg Jarrett: Comey's FBI was running a secret counterintelligence operation against Trump, new docs showNewly obtained documents confirm that James Comey’s FBI was running a secret and corrupt counterintelligence operation against the Trump campaign in the summer of 2016 and repeatedly deceiving the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) thereafter in order to wiretap a Trump campaign associate. The disclosure was the result of a federal lawsuit and a year of litigation. Despite efforts by FBI Director Christopher Wray to obstruct, a federal court issued an order that forced the FBI and Department of Justice to produce the records...

In an interview with MSNBC Sunday, Democratic Representative Al Green of Texas made the case for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, Mediaite reports. The Democrat began by arguing that it is not enough to want to defeat Trump at the polls, suggesting that the Democrats need to make an effort to impeach the president’s “philosophy.” “It is one thing to want to defeat the president at the polls. But it’s another thing to understand that we have to impeach the philosophy that he’s perpetrating upon society,” Green said. The Texas Democrat has long called for impeachment, but many of...

Democrats are panicking. In the wake of his many gaffes and shaky debate performances, many view front-runner Joe Biden as unable to go the distance, and unlikely to beat Donald Trump if he succeeds in winning the Democratic nomination. Which of the more than 20 other candidates in the race would be a better bet, they wonder? This is where the angst sets in. Elizabeth Warren is too radical, Bernie Sanders too angry, Beto too absurd, Mayor Pete too young, Cory Booker too annoying, which leaves….Kamala Harris. She’s tough, she can debate, as a woman of color she checks numerous...

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) on Friday outlined details of what he and the House Judiciary Committee will continue doing to further beat the dead horse that is his witch hunt investigation into President Trump.To much of America, it came off as more of a cry for help. Here is a thirty-six second snippet of Nadler's babble-fest: House Judiciary Cmte. will file an application today for the grand jury material underlying the Mueller report, Chairman Nadler says. pic.twitter.com/TYBcpH7QIq — MSNBC (@MSNBC) July 26, 2019 For the past couple of years Democrats have been waiting for Robert Mueller to be their...

I mean this really isn’t shocking. For years, they’ve been saying it. It’s just been a mixed bag of those who want to get it done now like he far left of the Democratic Party, and those who want to do it, but not so close to an election year; the ones who take into account political realities. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said she would rather censure Trump than impeach him. Pelosi appears to be someone unable to corral the crazies in her caucus. Maybe she looked a bit out of step, but I stand corrected. She may...

The swamp gets swampier as links to Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire accused of sex trafficking underage girls, and Washington heavyweights. The newest link to be uncovered is tied to former FBI Director James Comey, but he is far from the only one with links, as CNN reported. “Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey, is one of the prosecutors, according to a source with knowledge of the case,” CNN said.

But the liberal mainstream media is pushing another conspiracy. IT WAS RUSSIA!!

For perhaps the first time this year, I find myself in full agreement with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The circumstances of Jeffrey Epstein’s apparent suicide seem very strange indeed, so much so that it raises all sorts of questions as to what happened, how, and especially why: Ocasio-Cortez is hardly the only person demanding answers either, as Epstein’s victims have been robbed of their opportunity for justice. Epstein wasn’t just some minor figure sitting in a local lockup who had never sent out any signals of potential self- (or other-directed-) harm. “He was probably the most high-profile inmate” in federal custody in...

For the past three years, Washington’s gatekeepers have covered up evidence of two potentially massive and overlapping public-corruption scandals that, if fully exposed, threaten to shake the nation to its core. One involves the Obama administration spying on the Trump campaign while sexing-up Russian interference in the 2016 election to justify it. The other involves it pulling punches in the Hillary Clinton email investigation and clearing her of criminal wrongdoing just in time for the Democratic National Convention. President Donald Trump has granted his plucky new attorney general the power to rip the cover off both these election-year scandals. Trump’s...

Peter Strzok, the central figure in both the FBI’s burying of Hillary Clinton’s crimes and in carrying out the “insurance policy” of his lover, Lisa Page, to use the powers of the national security establishment to take out a U.S. presidential candidate, is strolling back in to FBI Headquarters these days as though it was just another day at the office. I am not making this up. “Strzok is in the (HQ) building all the time,” one FBI insider revealed, according to a recent media report at True Pundit. “He is taking meetings or part of meetings.” The article goes...

The top attorney for House Democrats is poised to play a key role in determining whether Democrats begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump. Even though some of House counsel Douglas Letter's legal fights are on topics like ObamaCare and border wall funding, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has pointed to the lawsuits surrounding subpoenas for Trump’s private records as laying the foundation necessary for possible impeachment proceedings. Whether to formally initiate impeachment will be left up to House Democrats, but the information Letter is seeking in court is being teed up as crucial to that decision. However, it’s unlikely that the...

OUTRAGEOUS: Most Corrupt FBI Agent in US History (Peter Strzok) Lands Most Corrupt Judge in US History (Amy Berman Jackson) to Oversee His Case!!! - ( Full title ) ... The most corrupt judge in US history, Obama appointee Amy Berman Jackson, was assigned to the wrongful termination lawsuit from the most corrupt FBI Agent in US history, Peter Strzok. Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointed liberal judge with a corrupt disposition and anger towards Americans who think differently than Obama, will now apply her own distorted interpretation of the law in corrupt cop Peter Strzok’s wrongful termination case....

WASHINGTON (AP) - A veteran FBI agent who wrote derogatory text messages about Donald Trump filed a lawsuit Tuesday charging that the bureau caved to “unrelenting pressure” from the president when it fired him. The suit from Peter Strzok also alleges he was unfairly punished for expressing his political opinions, and that the Justice Department violated his privacy when it shared hundreds of his text messages with reporters. “The campaign to publicly vilify Special Agent Strzok contributed to the FBI’s ultimate decision to unlawfully terminate him,” the lawsuit says, “as well as to frequent incidents of public and online harassment...

Peter Strzok, the former FBI agent who came under fire for sending disparaging text messages about President Trump and other political figures during the 2016 election, is suing his former employer over his firing, claiming the decision was a result of "unrelenting pressure" from President Trump. In a lawsuit filed on Tuesday, Strzok's counsel argued that he was fired unlawfully for using his protected political speech under the First Amendment, among other reasons. Strzok was fired last August. His firing came after DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz released a lengthy 500-page report last year that fiercely criticized Strzok for his...

Here is what we know. High-level FBI officials complained to the highest executive offices of the FBI that Strzok and more top agents were engaged in sexual relationships with CNN’s on-air personnel. Those high-ranking sources say top management (former FBI director James Comey and his successor Christopher Wray) did not investigate the reports and the relationships continued. And the sexual romps still might continue today... FBI insiders believe classified and sensitive intelligence was leaked to CNN as a byproduct of agents engaged in sexual affairs.

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Monday pressed Department of Justice (DOJ) lawyers on why the public shouldn’t be allowed to see redacted portions of former special counsel Robert Mueller’s report, suggesting that he may be willing to consider releasing at least some of the restricted document. Judge Reggie Walton, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, posed the questions during a hearing on a pair of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits seeking the redacted portions of the report. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) and BuzzFeed News reporter Jason Leopold filed the lawsuits earlier this year....
