Deep State Update: An Unparalleled Scandal
Judicial Watch Files Major Lawsuits on FBI/State Department Corruption
Clinton Emails Reveal Classified Docs, Clinton Foundation Connections
How Did Obama State Department Help the Russian Ambassador Attend the Republican Convention?
We were the beneficiaries of excellent insight on the Deep State this week in a special Judicial Watch panel presentation.
Joining me were Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), who serves on the Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform; Vince Coglianese, host of “Mornings on the Mall” at WMAL Radio and editorial director of the Daily Caller; Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer, vice president for strategic coordination and operations for the London Center for Policy Research; and our own attorney Michael Bekesha.
You can watch the whole discussion here .
The Deep State is clearly out of control. Back when we uncovered the Clinton email scandal, Judicial Watch fought tooth and nail with the State Department, the Justice Department and the FBI for documents. Little did we know that, even as they were protecting Hillary Clinton, these agencies were also targeting her political opponent, Donald Trump. And, since then, we’ve uncovered a scandal unparalleled in American history in terms of abuse by government officials, offices, and agencies for political purposes.
The Obama administration used the Justice Department, the FBI, and other agencies to spy on its political opposition; and worked with Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee, to launder suspect intelligence from foreign nationals and use that as a pretext to spy on Donald Trump and his associates.
It’s an incredible story, one that begins with the Obama White House and continues in the Deep State today.
Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer spoke first and brought to our attention the fact that Robert Mueller’s investigation is diverting resources from genuine needs.
According to my sources, in 2016 and in 2017, 71 percent of the foreign counterintelligence budget of the FBI was diverted from looking at threats, looking at foreign counterintelligence, to focus only on Clinton and Trump – to absolve Clinton and to convict Trump.
Now, what do you call it when an official element of the U.S. government diverts money – appropriated funds for purposes of defending the American people — and turns it against domestic targets? That is the Deep State. That’s what we are talking about here. This is not fiction. It’s not tinfoil hat stuff.
Vince Coglianese provided some historical context that reminded us that the Deep State has not just suddenly appeared.
Richard Nixon was controlled by his own government – the people around him, who were spying on him, and the people who worked for him.
Henry Kissinger constantly had his briefcase rifled through. The attorney general of the United States was spied on by the protective detail that was assigned to him by the FBI director. They were keeping copious notes on conversations between him and his wife and sending them back. That seems pretty bad. That does not seem like the America that any average citizen is going to be voting for, yet that’s what we have in our history.
Rep. Jim Jordan reminded us of something we heard not long ago, and he put it in startling context.
Remember back during the transition Sen. Chuck Schumer on one of the Sunday shows said that when President-elect Trump expressed concerned about the leaks he had to be careful. Remember, Schumer said, the intelligence community has six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.
When I heard that statement, I thought, “You’ve got to be kidding me.” That is not how it works in the United States of America. It’s not unelected people getting back at folks who stood in front of the voters, name on the ballot, and were elected by we the people. So that to me is probably my biggest concern about some of these things we’re seeing from the swamp.
Michael Bekesha made it clear that the Deep State is fighting to cover its tracks.
Three years after we learned about Hillary Clinton’s private email server, we still don’t have all of her emails. It’s almost two years since the FBI investigation ended. We still don’t have all of her emails, and we don’t have all the files related to the investigation. We keep fighting in court. The government keeps slow walking. They keep obstructing. And so all we have are the leaks from the Deep State, and that’s a problem. The American public doesn’t know what to believe because we don’t have the full picture.
I encourage you to take the time to watch the full presentation .
Off the Wall Ping!
Contact to be added.
Unless the Manchurian AG proceeds within the next month to obtain indictments and arrest warrants for Hillary and other members of the Traitorobama kakistocracy, the House GOP should begin proceedings to impeach Sessions for nonfeasance.
Doesn’t matter. Nothing will every be done.
over here
If you spend some time understanding what was just said and stop looking for a Reality show moment you will understand how pervasive this has become in out Government
Jeff Sesions has purposely recused himself or been so under a specific section of US code that prohibits him from giving daily updates etc on the status and full nature of all investigations that are ongoing.
To satisfy your want so much info about what is really going on would be available to the other side and they would react and adjust, as they have in the past. The scope and scale of what is really going on is International, and even yanking Hillary out and hanging her at this moment would not change things much, another wannabe would just slide in the gap and it would go on
Patience my friend, they have been at this all for over a century at least
Doesnt Schumer know? That is not how it works. It’s not not about "getting back at folks" you disagree with......the thing we’re forever seeing emanating from the Swamp.
More importantly, the overriding principle in a republic is that the machinery of govt, its agents and agencies, are NEVER to be used against American citizens.
Support Free Republic, Folks!
While that is true, it would provide celestial satisfaction to some of us and brown spots in the underwear to others...........
No. I love reading about Democrat crimes. It reminds me that it is our responsibility to try and educate as many people as we can in any way that we can.
If, as I’ve read is true, fire sessions for incompetence.

Well said!
I would say in response we are in shall we say “violent agreement”
When it is all said and done there are a lot of people just as deserving for a neck tie party
If there are no punishments, it will escalate into a full scale war Deep State versus the People.
Just simply bypass Sessions. POTUS could strike a deal with Congress that the evidence they accumulated can be passed to a Special Prosecutor, and from thence to a grand jury for indictments.
Do we need special legislation? How ‘bout this: failure of DOJ to act on referrals for prosecution within 30 days results in automatic referral to another prosecutor. Would also propose new legislation on these lines: Failure of federal officials to hand over evidence within reasonable time (legislators put # of days here) results in loss of employment and mandatory jail time.
“Nothing will every be done.”
Then why are you here?
You really believe that after 40+ years of the Clintons in public office that something will finally be done? If either one serves as little as one hour in a cell, ping me and I’ll admit I was wrong.
Doesn’t matter. Nothing will ever be done.

Sadly true. I developed a bring Bill and Hillary to justice obsession in 1993 (to date) and used to watch FR (1998 onward) for the exciting “any time now this evidence will sink the Clintons”
posts, followed by mysterious deaths of witnesses and destruction of Rose Law Firm documents under subpoena (by college students doing shredding and saying “I felt bad. I knew this was the stuff the news said was under subpoena but I needed the job.”
Then....the Clintons skated. Infuriating.
