Matt Gaetz was interviewing the FBI's cyber chief, and asked about Hunter's laptop, turned over to the FBI a few years ago. Evidently the FBI can't find it. If you find the laptop, he says the password is "Hunter02"

VIDEOJimmy Dore might be a leftist but at least he is an HONEST leftist in stark contrast to that political chameleon grifter Joe Scarborough. Watch how Scarborough pretends there was nothing political about the raid on President Trump's Mar-a-Lago versus Dore seeing EXACTLY what this is REALLY about, namely a blatantly political maneuver to keep Trump from running in 2024.

Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks met with former President Trump at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster Tuesday evening, and said the former commander in chief is "very upbeat," and has "made up his mind" about 2024—a decision he will make public in "a matter of time." "He didn’t seem defeated in the least bit—he was very fired up, very upbeat," Banks told Fox News of Trump’s attitude, just a day after the FBI raided his home at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. "It was a great three-hour-long conversation about what House Republicans are doing now to win back the...

Spending time on Twitter can be illuminating. Never have I seen so much spamming going on from the left all about how Trump "stole" classified documents. You could call it the "Crapper Caper." I have repeatedly pointed out that the President can declassify anything he chooses. But it's not about that. It's about something very different. Trump and his lawyers were cooperating with the National Archives and had already returned 15 boxes of materials. Than came a June meeting: Trump's attorneys were present at that meeting and the sources say the former president himself stopped in to say hello for...

“No, the president was not briefed, was not aware of it. No. No one at the White House was given a heads up, no. That did not happen.” When another reporter asked her whether she was concerned about the optics of the Justice Department raiding the home of a former president, Jean-Pierre said nothing. After the reporter pressed her about Republicans saying the raid “reeks of politics,” Jean-Pierre again suggested Biden had no advanced knowledge. “Look, I’ll say this: the president and the White House learned about this FBI search from public reports,” she said. “We learned just like the...

The FBI’s search of former President Trump’s estate in Florida is a political thunderbolt that on Tuesday had a number of Republicans thinking it could boost his standing in a future presidential race. Trump seized on the raid to rally his supporters, while Republicans across the political spectrum offered support for the former president — including potential rivals for the 2024 nomination. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called it an “escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies,” while former Vice President Mike Pence said it “undermines public confidence in our justice system.” He demanded “a full accounting” of the matter. Critics...

CBS’ left-wing The Late Show host Stephen Colbert says the FBI’s raid of former President Donald Trump’s home is like Christmas, adding, “we all got the present we wanted.” “It may be hot outside, but in here it’s Christmas, because yesterday, we got the present we wanted: FBI agents raided Mar-a-Lago,” Colbert said to his audience, before blowing them a kiss.

As reported earlier today — President Trump declassified a binder on January 19th, 2021 that contains hundreds of pages about the Crossfire Hurricane scandal. It contains damaging information about the corrupt actors involved with our government. Two different DOJ Attorney General’s have defied President Trump’s direct lawful order to publish the binder in the Federal Register. It’s been 19 months as the DOJ defies the order, and every FOIA request to make it public.

The raid on Mar-a-Lago was based largely on information from an FBI confidential human source, one who was able to identify what classified documents former President Trump was still hiding and even the location of those documents, two senior government officials told Newsweek. The officials, who have direct knowledge of the FBI's deliberations and were granted anonymity in order to discuss sensitive matters, said the raid of Donald Trump's Florida residence was deliberately timed to occur when the former president was away. FBI decision-makers in Washington and Miami thought that denying the former president a photo opportunity or a platform...

Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) has put Democrat President Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland on notice over the FBI’s raid of President Donald Trump’s Florida home, Mar-a-Lago. Stefanik, the third-ranking House Republican, also issued a warning over the seizure of GOP Rep. Scott Perry’s (R-PA) cellphone. As Slay News reported earlier, Trump ally Perry said three FBI agents seized his phone while he was traveling with his family. The New York congresswoman accused Biden of weaponizing the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI before warning the president and AG that they “will absolutely be held accountable” when...
