Federal officials will monitor polling locations on Election Day in Passaic County after several Republicans demanded stronger security measures. ---SNIP-- Republicans called for installing video cameras where vote-by-mail ballots are stored, creating access logbooks and requiring one Democrat and one Republican to be present during signature verification.

President Trump and everyone around him who were merciless tormented by the government for years are entitled to damages--not just to recoup financial losses but to ensure this doesn't happen again.The rage du jour relates to news that President Trump is not abandoning his pursuit of recouping part of the massive financial losses he incurred fighting the government’s decade-long lawfare against him. On Tuesday, the New York Times confirmed the president is seeking a total of $230 million in damages for defending himself in both the Russiagate investigation and the unprecedented criminal cases brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith.While the...

The Justice Department on Thursday warned California officials, including Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), against engaging in an “apparent criminal conspiracy” to arrest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche issued the letter to Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, state Attorney General Rob Bonta and San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins after the former House speaker suggested Wednesday that local police could arrest ICE agents if they violate state laws while carrying out immigration enforcement operations. “Rather than supporting and working with federal law enforcement professionals, California politicians, including U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi and San Francisco District Attorney...

Aprominent Republican senator whose phone records were seized during the Biden administration declared Wednesday she will sue Justice Department and FBI officials who conducted the search on grounds they violated her personal civil liberties and her protections as a member of Congress. “The infringement is deep and wide,” Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., told Just the News. Blackburn said the 2023 grand jury subpoena of phone records violated her 1st and 4th Amendment protections of free speech and privacy, her separation of powers protections as a lawmaker and possibly the Stored Communications Act because her carrier Verizon retained and turned over...

‘Brennan’s assertion that the CIA was not ‘involved at all’ with the Steele dossier cannot be reconciled with the facts.’ The House Judiciary Committee referred former CIA Director John Brennan to the Justice Department for criminal prosecution on Tuesday over allegations that he “knowingly made false statements” to Congress about his role in the Russia collusion hoax. In the letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi obtained by The Federalist, Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, argued that “Brennan made numerous willfully and intentionally false statements of material fact contradicted by the record established by the House Permanent Select Committee on...

FIRST ON FOX: A federal grand jury indicted two alleged Antifa members with terrorism-related charges for a July 4 attack on an ICE facility in Texas.The indictment, issued Wednesday and unsealed Thursday, charges Cameron Arnold and Zachary Evetts with providing material support for terrorism, attempting to murder federal and assisting officers and discharging firearms during attempted murders."For the first time ever, the FBI has arrested anarchist violent extremists and charged these Antifa-aligned individuals with material support to terrorism," FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement."This was a planned and coordinated terrorist attack on the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado,...

After watching Trump's presser today (my partial notes on the video below), I can say we're in a far safer standing than I thought regarding civil unrest in major cities. President Trump has invested major Law Enforcement resources in many cities, not just Portland, LA, and Chicago, to clean out what I believe to be the upper levels, or command structure, of the street rioters and those who pay and direct them. Patel noted in the presser that President Trump direct him to go after the hardest criminals, and the FBI has done so.I believe that President Trump is demonstrating...

[FULL TITLE] Page 203 of IG Report says Loretta Lynch-Bill Clinton tarmac meeting was planned via Secret Service, FBI Stunning revelations from the IG report of DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz (an Obama appointee) suggests that the 2016 tarmac meeting between then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Bill Clinton was coordinated — contradicting their claims that the meeting was accidental and coincidental. In 2016, Lynch — the U.S. attorney general under Barack Obama — secretly met for 30 minutes with Bill Clinton on an airport tarmac in Arizona. At the time, then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was being investigated by the FBI...

Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson: An individual has been arrested for threatening to kill my wife, my four children, and me. He sent a letter to my home saying he hated our views and wanted us dead. He is being charged federally and faces prison time. I want to thank President Trump, AG Pam Bondi, and the Department of Justice for immediately acting and saving my family. We are forever grateful. Left-wing violence is exploding with copycats appearing everywhere. It is the greatest threat to our country today, targeting people for simply speaking the truth. Let me be absolutely clear: We will...

Yet another far left crazy, who threatens to murder conservatives, arrested. and charged by DOJ. Hopefully most of them will end up in jail for very long periods of time.

Following the end of the FBI’s cooperation with the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center, America First Legal dropped a trove of documents proving that President Joe Biden’s Justice Department closely cooperated with SPLC, ADL, and other groups to target so-called hate. Indeed, the documents show that Kristen Clarke, the black supremacist who ran DOJ’s Civil Rights Division under Biden, took direction from the SPLC in running her department and setting its priorities. Such were the close contacts that one wonders why Clarke didn’t give SPLC and ADL offices at DOJ to cut down on travel time for meetings with the...

The FBI is considering carrying out a "showy" arrest and perp walk of the agency's now-indicted ex-Director James Comey, and has suspended an agent who refused to participate in the plan, three sources familiar with the matter told CBS News.Comey was charged last week with lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding, an unprecedented move that came after President Trump publicly pressured Attorney General Pam Bondi to look into his longtime adversary. A grand jury voted to indict him on Sept. 25 and hours later, Comey was issued a summons directing him to appear in federal court in northern...

Another high-ranking prosecutor in the Eastern District of Virginia has been fired. Last month, President Trump fired Erik Siebert as the US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia because he refused to bring charges against Letitia James, Comey, Schiff, and others. Shortly after Siebert’s firing, Lindsey Halligan, the new Acting US Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, indicted former FBI Director James Comey. However, the night before Lindsey Halligan indicted Comey, Deep State prosecutors in the EDVA, leaked a memo in an effort to defend Comey. “Two sources familiar with the matter tell me prosecutors in the EDVA...

The Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) and Sheriff Robert Luna on Tuesday, accusing it of "systematically" delaying concealed carry permits for law-abiding citizens in violation of the Second Amendment. The lawsuit, which the DOJ touts as its first-ever affirmative lawsuit in support of gun owners, alleges the LASD created a "pattern and practice" of obstruction by forcing law-abiding citizens to wait months and even years for a decision. The DOJ said in their complaint that, between January 2024 and March 2025, the sheriff’s office received 3,982 new applications for concealed carry permits...

The Donald Trump administration Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed an amicus brief defending rights protected by the Second Amendment in the consolidated case to be heard in the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. The case is ASSOCIATION OF NEW JERSEY RIFLE AND PISTOL CLUBS, INC., et al., v. ATTORNEY GENERAL NEW JERSEY, et al.This case is one of the best candidates for courts to make clear that bans on semi-automatic rifles and magazines that hold more than ten rounds are unconstitutional and in conflict with the Second Amendment.The Trump DOJ was not asked to submit...

Patrick Byrne @PatrickByrne Your DOJ: Pam Bondi works remotely from Florida, flies up for announcements. Todd Blanche runs Pam's DOJ, was a Dem until Jan 2025, and has blocked: Tina's release Investigation into Dominion Restitution for J6 political prisoners Pardons Trump wants done cf.

unday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said President Donald Trump had weaponized the Department of Justice like no other president. Host Kristen Welker said, “We have been tracking the indictment of James Comey. He’s accused of lying to the Senate in 2020. He notes the fact he was indicted by a federal grand jury. He also says he wants to let the process play out. Do you trust, do you have faith in the judicial system?” Schumer said, “I have no faith in Donald Trump’s judicial system. He has turned this judicial system to...

Long ago, Americans viewed the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) with tremendous admiration. It was considered a premier law enforcement agency and was favorably depicted in countless television shows and movies. Sadly, that reputation has suffered in recent years. It changed from being viewed as unbiased and revered to having a reputation as partisan and untrustworthy. This turnabout accelerated during the tenure of James Comey as FBI Director. In May 2017, President Donald Trump fired Comey. Among other issues, Trump was disgusted with Comey’s handling of the phony Russian collusion investigation. He refused to publicly exonerate President Trump, although he...

Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted for lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional investigation. Truth be told, that indictment should be only the tip of the iceberg for the charges that Comey should eventually face, but even this modest first step has left-wing politicos caterwauling about President Trump’s “unprecedented” use of the Department of Justice to seek revenge on his political enemies — a “glass-break moment” that “thrust the Justice Department into perilous new territory,” according to The New York Times.Sen. Elizabeth Warren posted that “using the justice system to go after political opponents is what dictators...

Documents declassified by FBI Director Kash Patel directly link former FBI chief James Comey to false statements he made before Congress, independent journalist Catherine Herridge reported Thursday. Further, Herridge reported that the indictment against Comey had been "ready to go," but that former U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert had been "blocking" or "slow-walking" the charges. Lindsey Halligan, whom President Donald Trump named interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, removed the blocks. Patel declassified the FBI leak investigations, codenamed Arctic Haze, which Herridge reported show Comey orchestrated a calculated leak campaign to steer the Russia-collusion narrative and burnish his...
