Former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Deadline” that Americans needed to “unelect these bastards” while discussing Republicans standing by former President Donald Trump. Steele said, “We just need to stop talking about these people as if this is somehow commonplace, normal, to even have that debate. No, we’re not going to debate do we overthrow the government today, or do we go get coffee? No, we’re not having that debate. So let’s call out what Trump and his ilk are doing and continuing to stoke.”

Former Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele called Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan a "son of a b****" for his recent remarks that he wasn't certain whether he spoke to former President Donald Trump on Jan. 6. Steele , a frequent critic of Trump , expressed disbelief that Jordan would be uncertain of the details of his conversation with Trump surrounding Jan. 6. "I can tell you the time, the place, the date of every conversation I've had with every president of this country, period," Steele said during a Thursday livestream for the Lincoln Project. "Going back to Bill Clinton, I...

Five years ago, on July 31, 2016, the Federal Bureau of Investigation opened Crossfire Hurricane, its investigation of the presidential campaign of former President Donald Trump. Some parts of the bureau had been looking into allegations of collusion between the campaign and Russia even before the investigation began. But on July 31, the FBI started the process that led to a million leaks, enormous damage to candidate Trump, and then President-elect Trump, and then President Trump, the abuse of the government's secret surveillance court to wiretap a low-level Trump adviser, efforts to impeach the president, more leaks, media hysteria, and,...

Former Republican Party chairman Michael Steele on Tuesday called for nationalizing elections and ending the filibuster in the Senate. Steele argued that states are stripping away access to the ballot box and “putting hurdles” in front of voters. He added that removing the Senate filibuster and putting the federal government in charge of election laws makes “common sense.” “[T]he filibuster is used as a wedge, a political insiders’ game, tool, to sort of not have to deal with the big policy,” Steele said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “Rank and file Americans out there are just like, ‘Can you just get...

Daniel Jones, lead author of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report on the CIA’s interrogation program, founded the Democracy Integrity Project in January 2017. Tax records show he funded Steele, Fusion, and others involved with Russia-related inquiries, keeping a web of groups working and donor money flowing to the tune of millions. The new filings contend that “the purpose of the Democracy Integrity Project is to promote democracy in the United States and around the world.” Tax records from the Democracy Integrity Project filed in November 2020 and made public in April show the Jones organization sent $1,222,714 in 2019 for...

State Department nominee Victoria Nuland coasted through her Senate confirmation hearing on Thursday without facing any questions about her role disseminating information from former British spy Christopher Steele during the 2016 presidential campaign. Nuland, who is nominated for undersecretary of state of political affairs, authorized two meetings during a previous stint at the State Department between government officials and Steele, a former British spy who compiled a dossier alleging collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government. She also pressed the FBI in the weeks before the 2016 election to investigate Steele’s allegations, according to government documents released last year.

Stefan Halper's story of Flynn trip with Russian woman deemed 'not plausible … not accurate.' Five days before the FBI formally opened the Michael Flynn probe in summer 2016, a confidential informant alleged to agents that Donald Trump's national security adviser had left a 2014 foreign meeting alone with a Russian woman. Agents ultimately deemed the account "not plausible" and "not accurate" but proceeded to investigate Flynn anyway, newly declassified documents show. FBI confidential human source (CHS) reports show Stefan Halper, an academic who long worked for the bureau as a trusted informant, was the original source of a story...

Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Lindsey Graham has released 11 transcripts of interviews conducted during the Senate Judiciary Committee’s inquiry into the origins and aftermath of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane Investigation — i.e., its indispensable to the Russia hoax perpetrated by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Graham’s press release is posted here. The transcripts have all been posted online and made accessible here. John Solomon extracts the highlights for Just the News in “FBI, State officials aware early on Steele made major mistake in Russia reporting.” No one who has followed the revelation of the hoax over the...

Newly released documents describe just how involved State Department employees were in British ex-spy Christopher Steele sharing unverified claims about President Trump's links to Russia with the FBI in 2016.

Robert Steele discusses various aspects of 2020 election fraud by DemonRats and other issues surrounding the DemonRat cabal.

A couple of days ago there was a big Fox News dustup between Rudy Giuliani and Lisa 'Kennedy' Montgomery when she first compared him to Christopher Steele then said she was grossed out by his Borat scene. Giuliani blew up, told her to come over to his office, examine the documents for herself then apologize for comparing him to a criminal that created a phony dossier for the Clinton campaign. Kennedy promised that she would come over with her staff and look for herself. I haven't seen any followup on that yet. Does anyone know if she kept her promise?

So here we are, faced with the re-election of President Donald Trump and the prospect of a nation still struggling against Covid-19, reeling from the ravages of a flattened economy and in pain from civil unrest and our genuine concern for how we treat one another. I, of course, disagree with Biden on many issues and policies, sometimes vigorously; and it is my fervent hope that he will pursue policies that will help our country heal. But this election is not about those issues or policies. Rather, it is about the course of a nation and the character of her...

ks between President Trump and Russia that was used in a controversial dossier, said on Wednesday that he wants to clear his name, adding that the claim by Trump’s allies that he is a “Russian agent” is “slander.” In an interview published Wednesday by The New York Times, Danchenko said that after his identity was revealed in July, he began receiving threats and harassment, especially following Attorney General William Barr’s declassification of the fact that Danchenko was the subject of an FBI counterintelligence investigation a decade ago. While the FBI had closed the investigation by 2011, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.)...

"Although Vice President Biden and I disagree on some policy points, I believe he will earnestly pursue options that work towards healing the divide exacerbated by Trump and his administration," Steele added. "My support for Biden is because we share an everlasting loyalty to what is ultimately best for our nation."

From the failed Chris Wallace-Biden tag-team attempt against Trump, to biased moderator Susan Page’s shrill interruptions of Vice President Pence, to the Presidential Debate Commission’s ridiculous and politically motivated effort to force a “virtual debate” on Biden’s behalf, patriotic Americans have caught on to the fact that there is something deeply unfair about the presidential debates. This clear bias has justifiably led many observers to wonder what is wrong with the Presidential Debate Commission. Just yesterday, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany called out the Commission directly: Kayleigh’s characterization of the Commission is of course correct. However, its corruption and...

Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director Gina Haspel is personally blocking the declassification and release of key Russiagate documents in the hopes that President Donald Trump will lose his re-election bid, multiple senior U.S. officials told The Federalist. The officials said Haspel, who served under former CIA Director John Brennan as the spy agency’s station chief in London in 2016 and 2017, is concerned that the declassification and release of documents detailing what the CIA was doing during the 2016 election and the 2017 transition could embarrass the CIA and potentially even implicate Haspel herself. “Haspel and [FBI Director Christopher] Wray...

Breaking Mark Meadows — ‘Trump asked me to declassify new spygate documents this morning’ Here's Meadows revealing that the president requested to declassify the documents that Devin Nunes asked for, which include the second and third Danchenko interviews. Of course you can always count on the Fox & Friends crew to completely miss the momentousness of that news. pic.twitter.com/oVzqqXPhGv— Hans Mahncke (@HansMahncke) October 5, 2020   And here's what Nunes asked for, specifically the underlying evidence that shows that Danchenko and Steele were hired to "cover up what the Clinton campaign was doing", as well as the Danchenko interviews. pic.twitter.com/UryZpsi3uv—...
