January 6th political prisoners have been languishing in prisons across America for the past four years, many without a trial. Many of them never had a criminal record, many never committed a single act of violence, including on January 6, 2021, and most of them have had their lives destroyed by the Democrat Party machine’s punishing injustice system. Men and women who’ve been imprisoned by the Biden/Obama shadow government for daring to protest the legitimacy of the 2020 election have lost family members, jobs, businesses, friends, and reputations, all because Democrats needed to push a fake narrative that President Trump...

Republicans roasted Attorney General Merrick Garland on social media after a video of him doing a victory lap while leaving the Department of Justice became viral. In the clip, which was posted on Friday via X, a celebratory Garland walked and thanked cheering department staffers while the outgoing AG exited out of the building.

President Joe Biden thought about pardoning President-elect Donald Trump, though it’s not known how seriously, a person directly familiar with his comments told NBC News’s Natasha Korecki, Carol E. Lee, and Jonathan Allen. Trump was the victim of the weaponization of justice under Biden’s Justice Department.

The freshly released Jack Smith report is a textbook example of a dirty “legal wrap-up smear,” a term describing the intersection of partisan politics and legal weaponization. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi explained this tactic in 2017: "You smear somebody with falsehoods... you merchandise it, and then you write it, and they’ll say, ‘See, it’s reported in the press.’ Then it’s called a wrap-up smear."This tactic is glaringly evident in the report’s handling of former President Donald Trump. One of its most egregious admissions is that prosecutors considered—but ultimately declined—to charge Trump under the Insurrection Act. This is significant because Democrats...

The Justice Department made public Volume I of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s final report on his now-closed investigations into President-elect Donald Trump, days before he is set to be sworn into office. Attorney General Merrick Garland released the first volume, which focuses on the election case against Trump, of Smith’s report on Tuesday at midnight after back-and-forth in the federal court system. An opening letter from Smith to Garland said that it is "laughable" that Trump believes the Biden administration, or other political actors, influenced or directed his decisions as a prosecutor, stating that he was guided by the Principles...

A Department of Justice (DOJ) lawsuit alleges that Hazleton, Pennsylvania’s city council elections violate federal law because not enough “Hispanic-preferred candidates” are winning – without defining what a Hispanic-preferred candidate is. The DOJ sued the majority-Hispanic town Tuesday over its at-large election system in which voters across Hazelton vote to elect each district’s city council member, alleging it does not give Hispanics a fair chance at participation and violates a section of the Voting Rights Act that bans restricting voters based on race. The complaint fails to prove illegal discrimination and appears “meritless” on its face, legal experts told the...

Outgoing US Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday defended his persecution aggressive prosecution of Trump supporters who merely walked through the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Garland released a statement ahead of Congress’s certification of the 2024 election. More than 1,500 January 6ers – many nonviolent, first time offenders – have been charged by Merrick Garland’s DOJ in the last four years. Biden’s DOJ hunted down MAGA grandmothers and other non-violent offenders and threw them in the DC gulag. Merrick Garland defended his actions and told a whopper of a lie about DC Metro and Capitol police officers. “On this...

On Dec. 12th, 2024—the D.O.J Office of Inspector General (OIG) released a report evaluating the FBI’s role in intelligence gathering and handling of Confidential Human Sources (CHS) leading up to certification day for the 2020 presidential election.

It also made clear that there was no evidence of undercover FBI agents being present within the Capitol crowd, and that none of the CHSs who were at the riot were authorized by the FBI...

The hunters are becoming the hunted. Federal prosecutors involved in the Trump witch hunts and January 6 cases are exiting the Justice Department at a record rate. Many of Jack Smith’s prosecutors also fear they will go bankrupt defending themselves if Trump’s DOJ decides to launch an investigation into the Biden Regime’s weaponization of the department. The swamp is draining itself.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) suggested in a recent interview that the Department of Justice (DOJ) staff is worried it will become a “law firm” for President-elect Trump during his second stint in the White House. His claim came shortly after Trump tapped former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi to lead the DOJ following former Rep. Matt Gaetz’s (R-Fla.) withdrawal from consideration. “So, she’s really presiding over the bureaucracy,” Raskin, the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, told MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight” in an interview Thursday. “That is where she will be the key transmission belt between Donald Trump’s orders...

The law is the law, and Jimmy Kimmel broke it. Or at least, he broke the law as it has been outrageously interpreted according to President Joe Biden’s Justice Department, which prosecuted and jailed Douglass Mackey for making an almost identical joke to the one Kimmel made on Wednesday night. During his monologue, Kimmel said, “If you want to vote for Trump, vote late. Vote very late. Do your voting on Thursday or maybe Friday.” Get it? He’s joking about how he hopes Trump voters don’t vote in time. But is it a harmless joke or a case of “election...

Election officials in York County, Pennsylvania, are reporting that they also received THOUSANDS of potentially fraudulent voter registration forms and mail-in ballot applications from a third-party group First Lancaster County, and now York County? WHAT IS GOING ON? I'm also receiving information from sources on the ground that say this is happening in more counties. It's becoming evident to me that Election Fraudsters wanted to cheat in the 2024 election by bloating the voter rolls with dubious names and requesting mail-in ballots using those names. I'm glad the scheme is being "caught" before and not after the election. This also...

A recent string of lawsuits by the Department of Justice (DOJ) against police and fire departments could serve as a blueprint for erasing physical and mental standards in the name of equity. The DOJ settled two lawsuits and filed a third against local departments in October accusing them of discrimination after black applicants disproportionately failed to pass cognitive written tests and female applicants struggled to pass physical tests. The DOJ deemed the tests discriminatory due to the results, despite applicants of all races and both genders being subject to the same standards. The three lawsuits, all filed within weeks of...
