FBI Lisa Page’s Chilling Admission: “If they start digging deep, we are screwed…”.. • Newly declassified Crossfire Hurricane documents reveal FBI attorney Lisa Page’s fear that the media, following a New York Times article, might start "digging deep" into the Crossfire Hurricane investigation—exposing their plot to undermine President-elect Donald Trump. • On November 7, 2016, Lisa Page reacted to a New York Times article about Russian propaganda efforts tied to the 2016 election, specifically mentioning "lots of HRC-related emails." • Her response in a message to colleagues—“if they start digging deep, we are screwed”—suggests the FBI team was hiding something...

Newly declassified documents show informant Stefan Halper was motivated in part by "monetary compensation" and was paid nearly $1.2 million from FBI over three decades. ********************************************************************** Akey FBI informant in the widely-debunked Russia collusion case was paid nearly $1.2 million over three decades, was motivated in part by "monetary compensation," and continued snitching even after agents concluded he told them an inaccurate story about future Trump National Security Advisor Mike Flynn, newly declassified documents show. The nearly 700 pages of once-secret documents, obtained by Just the News, were recently turned over by FBI Director Kash Patel to House Judiciary Committee...

FBI agents lost their security clearances and jobs after blowing the whistle on the Biden-era and Chris Wray-led bureau. Now their lawyers are asking the Trump FBI, led by Kash Patel, to address their complaints.. FBI agents who blew the whistle on “wrongdoing” within the bureau — including one agent saying he wants to share further information about working under disgraced FBI official Peter Strzok — are calling upon the bureau, now led by Kash Patel, to review and resolve their claims of retaliation by Biden's FBI. Empower Oversight sent an early March letter to FBI general counsel Samuel Ramer,...

Much to the chagrin of the media, Bruce Swartz, “globally renowned for representing the Justice Department in some of its most sensitive foreign dealings,” resigned rather than accept a demotion by President Trump. For 30 years, “careerist” Bruce Swartz quietly worked to advance Democratic interests on one hot button case after another, but if Special Presidential Envoy Ric Grenell has his way, Swartz will be prosecuted for intrigue few even know about. “Bruce Schwartz (sic) undermined Donald Trump and US foreign policy while he worked at DoJ,” Grenell tweeted on March 15. “I told him private information about negotiations (he...

By Wayne Allyn Root In just the past few hours, we have uncovered perhaps the biggest scandal of the Biden presidency. It turns out Joe Biden never signed anything- no laws, no Executive Orders, no legal documents, nothing. They were all signed by autopen. There were no original signatures. Which makes them all illegal. That makes everything that happened and passed during the past four years null and void. But that brings up the question of the century: If Biden never signed anything, who did? Who was calling the shots? Who was running the country? I know the answer… All...

federal judge on Tuesday reinstated Cathy Harris, the Democrat chairwoman of the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB). “The mission of the MSPB is to “Protect the Merit System Principles and promote an effective Federal workforce free of Prohibited Personnel Practices.”” the agency’s website says. Cathy Harris was appointed to the MSPB in 2021 and her term was set to expire on March 1, 2028, but Trump fired her earlier this month. Judge Rudolph Contreras, an Obama appointee with a history of anti-Trump bias, said Trump’s decision to fire Cathy Harris, a member of an agency in the executive branch, exceeded...

Former FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok has cleared his X account as Trump nominee Kash Patel advances toward confirmation as FBI Director. Over the weekend, Strzok’s social media presence on X was wiped, removing posts and interactions from his account. The timing has raised questions... One of the most notable messages from August 15, 2016, referenced an “insurance policy” against a Trump victory. Strzok wrote to Page: “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in Andy’s office…that there’s no way [Trump] gets elected…but I’m afraid we can’t take that risk.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pam Bondi had insisted at her Senate confirmation hearing that as attorney general, her Justice Department would not “play politics.” Yet in the month since the Trump administration took over the building, a succession of actions has raised concerns the department is doing exactly that. Top officials have demanded the names of thousands of FBI agents who investigated the Capitol riot, sued a state attorney general who had won a massive fraud verdict against Donald Trump before the 2024 election, and ordered the dismissal of a criminal case against New York Mayor Eric Adams by saying the...

Peter Strzok just wiped his X account. Reminder. Here’s a video of Strzok testifying under oath that the entire 7th floor Brass at the FBI is guilty of sedition. From Comey to McCabe to Strzok. None were pardoned by Biden. It’s time for Justice.

And this is the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency John Ratcliffe, the FBI was ordered by Barack Obama not to arrest Hillary Clinton for espionage in violation of — 18 U.S. Code § 793. Gathering, transmitting or lose defense information. In fact, James Comey effectively served as Hillary Clinton’s personal attorney.

No outside influence of any kind was brought to bear.” CIA John Ratcliffe: “Lisa Page confirmed to me under oath that the FBI was ordered by the Obama DOJ...

The brass on the seventh floor at FBI headquarters in Washington are walking around in a daze and wary of a housecleaning since President-elect Donald Trump won his reelection on Tuesday, according to inside sources. The Washington Times learned through several anonymous bureau sources that senior executives who run the agency were “stunned” and “shell-shocked” by Mr. Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris. “You know the fit test? How they let the standards slack on the fit test?” the first FBI source said, referring to the agency’s physical fitness requirements. “Everyone’s going to have a real problem when they’re...

President Trump late Thursday night inquired about the fate of the FBI’s “302” report on the Michael Flynn case that officials say vanished after the president’s first national security adviser met with federal agents in January 2017. “Where is the 302? It is missing. Was it stolen or destroyed? General Flynn is being persecuted!” Trump tweeted. Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo that the original 302 document — which typically summarizes witness interviews with agents — was “missing.” Nunes said the document is where Flynn is accused of lying to...

McCabe personally saw to it that Gen. Flynn was fired: After Yate's pressuring of WH lawyer McGahn on Jan. 30, 2017, didn't accomplish their goal, McCabe sat VP Pence down in Situation Room on Feb. 10 & had him read his 302s on Flynn. The NSC chief was fired 3 days later

Three days ago, word of an alleged whistleblower from ABC News emerged following the Trump-Harris debate who claimed, among other things, that Harris was given questions in advanced. While unverified – and should therefore be taken with a grain of salt for now, the whistleblower also claims there are three topics that were off-limits. President Biden’s health. Kamala’s tenure as Attorney General and District Attorney “her brother-in-law, Tony West, who faces allegations of embezzling billions of dollars in taxpayer funds and who may be involved in her administration if elections.” To that end, Edward R. Szall via Died Suddenly News...

Donald Trump can be seen as a Russian asset, though not in the traditional sense of an active agent or a recruited resource, an ex-FBI deputy director who worked under the former US president said. Asked on a podcast if he thought it possible Trump was a Russian asset, Andrew McCabe, who Trump fired as FBI deputy director in 2018, said: “I do, I do.” He added: “I don’t know that I would characterize it as [an] active, recruited, knowing asset in the way that people in the intelligence community think of that term. But I do think that Donald...

FBI Agent Peter Strzok and his FBI Crossfire Hurricane unit were focused on the White House during President Trump’s inauguration celebration, so much so that the “angry” agent complained he was kept out of the loop on a bureau counter-intelligence briefing there.Mr. Strzok, who would later be fired for his anti-Trump messages to FBI lawyer Lisa Page, erupted the day after Mr. Trump became president, according to newly released emails obtained by Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog in Washington.Mr. Strzok said in an email to his boss, counter-intelligence chief Bill Priestap, he could have folded the FBI briefing into his...

If you are a Democrat bureaucrat who spends his time at the FBI, not doing his job of going after criminals, but instead violating the Hatch Act while campaigning for Hillary and seeking to destroy Trump, and you get caught, you won’t be punished. Nope — the taxpayers will be screwed again by paying your high pension and giving you a kickback of $1.2 million. Justice Dept. settles with ex-FBI officials Strzok, Page over leak of anti-Trump texts The Justice Department has agreed to settle claims by former senior FBI special agent Peter P. Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page,...

The Justice Department has agreed to pay a total of $2 million to settle legal claims brought by former FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok and former FBI attorney Lisa Page over the DOJ’s release of text messages the pair exchanged. The agreement ends a lawsuit Page brought, but does not fully resolve Strzok’s separate suit, allowing him to continue to press his claims that he was fired in order to please then-President Donald Trump. On Friday, Strzok’s lawyers announced his $1.2 million agreement as attorneys for both sides notified a federal judge in Washington that the privacy-focused portion of that...

The Justice Department has agreed to settle claims by former senior FBI special agent Peter P. Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page, who had filed lawsuits accusing the government of violating their privacy rights by leaking their politically charged text messages criticizing Donald Trump. Strzok’s attorneys say he will receive a $1.2 million settlement. Terms for Page were not disclosed. Strzok and Page said they were illegally targeted for retribution by the Trump administration after the FBI investigated Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election. Strzok, a former top counter-intelligence expert, was fired by the FBI in 2018 after news...
