During the run-up to the 2020 Presidential Election, election processes were changed to roll out “no excuse mail-in voting.” Some states even went as far as sending ballots to every voter on the voter registration roll. Most of these changes were made without the consent of the state legislatures, as mandated by the US Constitution in Article 1, Section 4, Clause 1. As a result of this, the number of mail-in ballots cast, according to the US Elections Assistance Commission, went from 33 million mail-in ballots in 2016 to approximately 65.5 million in the 2020 Election, despite warnings from a...

David Shafer @DavidShafer We today filed five motions in the Fulton County case, including this new 229 page motion to disqualify Fani Willis for a continuing pattern of forensic prosecutorial misconduct.

The fix is in. To “protect democracy,” democracy is already being canceled. We just haven’t admitted the implications of this to ourselves yet. On Sunday, January 14th, NBC News ran an eye-catching story: “Fears grow that Trump will use the military in ‘dictatorial ways’ if he returns to the White House.” It described “a loose-knit network of public interest groups and lawmakers” that is “quietly” making plans to “foil any efforts to expand presidential power” on the part of Donald Trump. The piece quoted an array of former high-ranking officials, all insisting Trump will misuse the Department of Defense to...

Before a single vote was cast, the 2020 election was baked into the cake. America’s political and media establishment were not going to let what happened to them in 2016 happen again. ... TIME Magazine - “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election” which describes a vast effort by a network of partisan political operatives, union leaders, and business titans to create a mail ballot “revolution” to oust Trump... a plan hatched by a highly motivated and well-funded few to undermine American democracy as we know it. Yet, it is not well understood exactly what...

Ajudge on Monday cut off a lawyer for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as he was arguing why his client should not be deposed in a divorce hearing involving special prosecutor Nathan Wade, whom she hired to handle the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump. Willis, who is accused of having an affair with Wade, was originally scheduled for a deposition in the case on Tuesday, but Judge Henry Thompson delayed that ruling until after Wade himself is questioned later this month. During a brief hearing at Cobb County Superior Court Monday, Willis’ lawyer, Cinque Axam,...

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been accused of hiring a private lawyer she was in a 'romantic' relationship with to prosecute Donald Trump, according to a stunning filing by one of the former president's co-defendants. The bombshell allegations are included in a filing by Michael Roman, a former Trump campaign official who is accused of taking part in the 'fake electors' scheme as one of 18 people charged in the state along with Trump. The public court filing, which seeks the dismissal of charges against him, alleges that Willis was in a personal relationship with private lawyer Nathan...

Circumstances aren't looking good for Fani Willis. The Fulton County, Ga., district attorney who has made a personal crusade out of trying to prosecute Donald Trump now has to give account to a judge regarding the allegations that she is in an improper relationship with one of the special counsels she hired for the Trump case. "The judge overseeing the election interference case against former president Donald Trump in Georgia has reportedly scheduled a hearing for Feb. 15 to examine recent allegations that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her lead prosecutor 'engaged in an improper relationship and mishandled...

In August, The Gateway Pundit shared a bombshell report that was taken completely by an up-to-then-buried Michigan State Police report. The report, which outlined a statewide investigation that turned into a nationwide investigation of a potentially massive voter registration scheme, was shared with us by the MIGOP Director of Election Integrity, Phil O’Halloran. After publishing the report that exposed a massive cover-up by Michigan’s Democrat Attorney General Dana Nessel and Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson of an explosive, statewide investigation by the MI State Police, Muskegon, MI Police Department, we began to receive tips from individuals who read our...

The prosecutor hired to go after Donald Trump by his alleged District Attorney lover Fani Willis had two meetings with the Biden White House during his investigation, according to court documents reviewed by DailyMail.com. The meetings and calls, which came ahead of Willis’ charges filed against Trump, brings into question repeated denials by the White House that it had any coordination with the Fulton DA’s prosecution. The Fulton County, Georgia DA hired Atlanta attorney Nathan Wade as an ‘anti-corruption special prosecutor’ to investigate Trump’s alleged election interference.

We have often zinged Joe Scarborough's false-modesty shtick of describing himself as a "simple country lawyer." The egotistical Morning Joe host clearly hopes people will react by thinking--or better yet, exclaiming--"No, Joe. You are one of America's most brilliant legal minds!" On today's show, Scarborough decided to defy the mockery and double-down on his shtick. Three times in one segment, as he reran audio of Trump pleading to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "find" him 11,780 votes, he pointedly described himself as, yes, a "simple country lawyer." For good measure, Joe upped the false-modesty ante by adding, "I...

Former President Donald Trump has unveiled a comprehensive report of election fraud in various swing states from the 2020 Presidential election. The document has been compiled by leading election experts, which Trump asserts is thoroughly verified and based on government sources, tapes, and public records. Each state discussed in the document has its unique set of allegations, which contribute to an overarching narrative of purported election fraud. Overall, the document discusses a range of irregularities, including reports of ineligible voters, anomalies in voting machines, and improbably high percentages of ballots cast for Biden. Trump suggested that investigations have uncovered a...

HOUSTON, TX, January 2, 2024 - True the Vote (TTV) declares a decisive triumph in their legal battle against Stacy Abrams' Fair Fight, legal teams led by Marc Elias, and the Biden Department of Justice. A federal court in the Northern District of Georgia today affirmed that citizens have the right to lawfully petition their government in support of election integrity without fear of persecution or prosecution. In a resounding vindication, TTV successfully defended its actions of December 2020, aiding Georgia citizens in filing elector challenges based on data showing over 364,000 voters appeared to be ineligible to vote due...

VIDEOHave you ever noticed how when leftist partisan hacks, such as election "expert" David Becker, appear on C-SPAN they try to present an image of someone above politics who is only seeking the truth? Well, that is exactly what David Becker attempted during his C-SPAN appearance on Washington Journal on January 3, 2024. Unfortunately for him, Laura Loomer exposed him as the leftist partisan hack that he is in May 2023 during a contentious street interview.

Critics are accusing the DOJ of sweeping additional charges against FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried under the rug, after prosecutors said he would not face a second trial for campaign finance violations following his conviction last month. In a letter filed on Friday night in federal court in Manhattan, prosecutors said the 'strong public interest' in a prompt resolution of the case outweighed the benefits of a second trial. In his letter to the court, US Attorney Damian Williams noted that prosecutors introduced evidence about all of the dropped charges during Bankman-Fried's monthlong first trial, where he was found guilty on...

PORTLAND, Maine — Maine’s Democratic secretary of state on Thursday removed former President Donald Trump from the state’s presidential primary ballot under the Constitution’s insurrection clause, becoming the first election official to take action unilaterally in a decision that has potential Electoral College consequences. While Maine has just four electoral votes, it’s one of two states to split them. Trump won one of Maine’s electors in 2020, so having him off the ballot there should he emerge as the Republican general election candidate could have outsized implications in a race that is expected to be narrowly decided.

A retired CIA leader coordinated a letter from former intelligence chiefs claiming that Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation because he wanted to help Joe Biden's presidential campaign. Mike Morell told the House Judiciary Committee that he was asked by Antony Blinken, the Secretary of State - who at the time was a senior member of the Biden campaign - to help discredit the laptop reporting. Morell was a former acting CIA director, serving for two months in 2011 and four months from 2012 to 2013. He retired from the CIA in September 2013. The House Judiciary Committee, led by...

A weird thing happened right after the Nov. 3 election: nothing. The nation was braced for chaos. Liberal groups had vowed to take to the streets, planning hundreds of protests across the country. Right-wing militias were girding for battle. In a poll before Election Day, 75% of Americans voiced concern about violence. Instead, an eerie quiet descended. As President Trump refused to concede, the response was not mass action but crickets. When media organizations called the race for Joe Biden on Nov. 7, jubilation broke out instead, as people thronged cities across the U.S. to celebrate the democratic process that...

The discovery of two batches of classified documents from Joe Biden’s time as vice president could bring renewed attention to an office the president shared with his scandal-plagued son Hunter and a Chinese energy conglomerate linked to Chinese military intelligence. Joe and Hunter Biden were "office mates" with executives from CEFC China Energy in 2017, according to emails from Hunter’s abandoned laptop. In an email to the general manager for the K Street office building, Hunter Biden said the office would be shared by his consulting firm Hudson West, CEFC China Energy, and the Biden Foundation, his family charity. "[P]lease...

On the Sunday edition of her MSNBC show, Katie Phang invited on for a victory lap the lawyer for the two plaintiffs who won a $148 million judgment from Rudy Giuliani in their defamation case against him. The mother-and-daughter plaintiffs had been election workers in Fulton County, Georgia in the 2020 election that Rudy had publicly accused of participating in election fraud in favor of Joe Biden. In the course of his comments, the lawyer, Von DuBose, managed to maintain a straight face while claiming: "No amount of money can bring back the sense of security that's been lost in...

Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis and her team of prosecutors want prison sentences for Donald Trump and his top allies, previously unreported emails reveal. The emails, first reported by the Guardian, reveal deepening hostilities between prosecutors and defendants in the monumental Georgia criminal case against Trump and his top allies. “We have a long road ahead,” Willis wrote in a previously unreported email last month to Trump’s attorneys. “Long after these folks are in jail, we will still be practicing law.” Willis and her team allege Trump and codefendants violated the racketeering statute as part of efforts to overturn...
