While we’ve all been heavily focused on the election, the NY Times dropped an important story about Jan. 6 that many didn’t notice. Remember when Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) grilled an FBI official about FBI or confidential human sources (informants) who may have been involved or had knowledge about Jan. 6?

Last Updated on October 29, 2022 The FBI is asking a federal court to reverse its order that demanded the bureau to disclose information from a laptop belonging to Seth Rich. If the judge refuses, the FBI has asked for a delay of 66 years. Rich was working as a staffer for the Democratic National Committee when he was shot and killed on a Washington D.C. street in 2016. No arrests have ever been made in connection with the Rich killing. U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant, an Obama appointee, ruled in September that the bureau must hand over information from...

As long suspected, but not confirmed until October 13, 2022, the FBI testified that geo-tracking data is accurate and reliable.A bombshell report by the Electronic Freedom Foundation (EFF) revealed the “vast, secretive” partnership between private companies and the federal government to surveil and track the movements of Millions of Americans.According to the EFF, the Biden Regime’s alphabet agencies, including ICE, the FBI, US Secret Service, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Department of Defense (DoD), as well as state and local law enforcement, are being funneled hordes of private cell phone location data by private brokers who harvest...

The Department of Justice needs funds to continue investigating the little three-hour riot that sent most of liberal America into paralysis. Most Americans have moved on, as they should, since most have no choice. Unlike the wealthy, over-educated snobs that infest the coasts and cities, we ordinary citizens must work for a living. They also see their degraded purchasing power as their paychecks cannot keep up with the historic levels of inflation that have beset the country. And maybe the hundreds of arrests the Federal Bureau of Investigation has made in this overblown investigation into what amounted to be a...

The FBI Agents Association bills itself as “dedicated to advancing and safeguarding the careers, economic interests, conditions of employment and welfare of FBI agents and retired FBI agents.” Founded in 1981, the nonprofit boasts 14,000 members — including 90% of the current agent workforce — and once enjoyed almost universal appeal and respect among them. Once. With outrageous, political decisions by its board, it has sullied itself just as James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Kevin Clinesmith annihilated the top law-enforcement agency’s reputation during the 2016 Russiagate hoax.

It’s unclear who the FBI and their handlers thought they were dealing with in regards to the Mar-a-Lago raid.Maybe after getting the election snatched from him, they thought President Trump would simply lay over for Biden and his vultures to consume. Well, they’ve learned very quickly that the President is always ready to put up a championship caliber fight at any moment.Within weeks, of the DOJ and FBI raid, the President’s team was able to halt the government’s witch-hunt well into December.A federal judge agreed to appoint a special master to review records seized by the FBI during its search...

Danchenko, a Russian analyst, was a source of information for Christopher Steele, a former British spy who was paid by Democrats to research ties between Russia and presidential candidate Donald Trump. The compilation of research files, which included salacious rumors and unproven assertions, came to be familiarly known as the “Steele dossier.”

A prominent pro-life priest known for his nonviolent attempts to hinder the operation of abortion clinics to save unborn children faces federal charges for padlocking closed the gate to a New York abortion clinic in July, blocking the entrance to the clinic in the hopes of counseling the women seeking an abortion that day to reconsider. Father Fidelis Moscinski, 52, a priest of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal (CFR), was charged last week under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a 1994 federal law that prohibits the blocking of access to abortion clinics. According to a...

The Department of Justice manipulated evidence in the sex trafficking trial of convicted cult leader Keith Raniere, a group of FBI experts backed by famed attorney Alan Dershowitz claimed Thursday.Raniere was convicted in 2019, but now the group of six veteran FBI forensic experts claims the government framed him. They held a virtual press conference on Thursday, joined by Dershowitz, who is representing Raniere, former U.S. Attorney Bud Cummins, and several others.“If true, this is a historic level of corruption,” Dershowitz said. “There must be immediate action.”

The Biden administration has continued weaponizing the Department of Justice to target Conservatives and Trump supporters. 11 pro-life activists were charged with violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a pro-abortion federal law. The group of pro-lifers allegedly prevented one clinic employee and one patient from entering a Tennessee abortion mill. Seven pro-lifers were charged with “conspiracy against rights secured by the FACE Act.” Four others were also indicted for FACE Act violations. The activists with the “conspiracy against rights secured by the FACE Act” charges could receive fines up to $250,000 and face up to...

FBI agents with "guns drawn" reportedly raided the home of 73-year-old Chester Eugene Gallagher after the pro-life leader promoted a series of anti-abortion events last year on social media in the Nashville area and advertised an activist blockade of an abortion clinic. Pro-life activist Heather Idoni, the 58-year-old owner of Beloved Books bookstore turned-Ukraine relief center, was charged by the DOJ with a civil rights conspiracy and a Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act) offense for "blockading" an abortion facility.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. senator is pressing the FBI for more information after a whistleblower alleged that an internal review found 665 FBI personnel have resigned or retired to avoid accountability in misconduct probes over the past two decades. The whistleblower told the office of Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, that the Justice Department launched the review of the FBI's disciplinary database in 2020 following an Associated Press investigation into sexual misconduct allegations involving at least six senior FBI officials.

FBI agents questioned a pro-life prayer supporter outside a Planned Parenthood abortion facility Tuesday in St. Paul, Minn., after a complaint that he had interfered with a client’s access to the facility. Brian Gibson, president of Pro-Life Action Ministries, shared with LifeSiteNews that this prayer supporter explained to the agents that his interference with access to the Planned Parenthood facility “could not be possible.” “This prayer supporter comes almost every day to pray, while kneeling, for hours on end,” Gibson shared in an email on Wednesday. “He kneels on the public sidewalk near a tree cut-out, where no one can...

Today, a federal judge ordered the FBI to “produce the information it possesses related to Seth Rich’s laptop.” This case involves a multi-year fight by attorney Ty Clevenger to obtain records relating to the FBI/DOJ investigation of Seth Rich, particularly whether Rich was involved in the hack of the DNC or had communicated with Wikileaks. This fight dates back to 2017 and includes two FOIA lawsuit. In the first lawsuit, the FBI produced no responsive documents. The parties knew the FBI had something, and so this sparked a second lawsuit – where the FBI somehow found 20,000 pages of potentially...

Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), and Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) warned us about Kristen Clarke. Cruz called the radical lawyer “completely unfit to serve,” but serve she does as the Biden Administration’s chief of the civil rights division of the Department of Justice (DOJ). Her department is where equal justice now goes to die. Clarke considers her calling in Biden’s Justice Department one of score-settling for past decisions, holding contemporaries responsible for historical injustices, and chasing ghosts of the past. She greenlit the federal case against Mark Houck, a Pennsylvania Catholic pro-life author, whose seven children screamed for mercy...

On Friday, as half of America now knows, two-dozen FBI agents stormed the home of pro-life activist Mark Houck and arrested him in front of his horrified wife and seven children. The charge against him was shoving a man in front of a Planned Parenthood abortion mill nearly a year ago. In the indictment handed down by the grand jury, the man allegedly assaulted is known simply as B.L. Although I know his name, and others have reported it, I will leave it at B.L. for now lest two-dozen FBI agents show up at my door. As it turns out,...

New information confirms that a massive FBI raid on the home of a pro-life family in Pennsylvania and the arrest of a father of seven children was based on a bogus charge that a court had already dismissed. As LifeNews reported, Joe Biden’s FBI has raided the home of a well-known pro-life advocate and arrested him in front of his crying children on a bogus charge that had already been thrown out of court. Biden’s administration is coming under fire for weaponizing the FBI and Department of Justice to target pro-life conservatives. Mark Houck, a father of seven, is frequently...

On reading about the Saturday arrest of pro-life activist Mark Houck, I thought the author at this alternative site had to be exaggerating. It struck me as beyond belief that two dozen or so armed FBI agents would swarm the house of a Catholic father of seven, rifles drawn, and arrest him in front of his weeping children for anything short of murder. I have had to recalibrate my belief system. The “crime” fell quite a bit short of murder. On October 13, 2021, Houck brought his 12-year-old son with him for his weekly sidewalk counseling outside of a Planned...

The FBI responded Tuesday after alleged bureau whistleblowers came forward and accused it of moving agents from child abuse cases to “domestic violent extremist” cases.The J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building in Washington on July 21, 2022. (Chung I Ho/The Epoch Times)On Monday evening, House Judiciary Republicans wrote on Twitter that an unnamed whistleblower came forward and told them that the FBI is moving agents from child sexual abuse cases to pursue investigations relating to the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.The whistleblower, according to Republicans and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), “told that child sexual abuse material investigations were no longer an FBI...

The privacy invasion was vast when FBI agents drilled and pried their way into 1,400 safe-deposit boxes at the U.S. Private Vaults store in Beverly Hills. They rummaged through personal belongings of a jazz saxophone player, an interior designer, a retired doctor, a flooring contractor, two Century City lawyers and hundreds of others. Agents took photos and videos of pay stubs, password lists, credit cards, a prenuptial agreement, immigration and vaccination records, bank statements, heirlooms and a will, court records show. In one box, agents found cremated human remains. Eighteen months later, newly unsealed court documents show that the FBI...
