Democratic party attorney Marc Elias on Thursday told MSNBC's "The Weeknight" that President Donald Trump is trying to intimidate his political "enemies" from being a meaningful and robust opposition to him. MICHAEL STEELE, CO-HOST: Marc, Marc, here we go again. One more, right? What's your reaction, my friend, as the indictment counts seem to mount up here? MARC ELIAS, DEMOCRATIC ATTORNEY, DEMOCRACY DOCKET FOUNDER: Yeah, look, I think that we can't overcomplicate this with all due respect to your one of your prior guests. The fact is Donald Trump came into office saying he's going to seek vengeance against...

I gave GROK information from Devin Nunes' interview in which he said starting in 2015, and the investigation(s) of Donald Trump's potential Russia collusion, started by Hillary, forwarded by Obama, and resulting in in the Mueller Investigation, which was followed by the Ukraine whistleblower hoax, the Hunter Biden laptop investigation, and the classified documents raid at Mar A Lago. I asked Grok to provide information to help me identify select officials (i.e., to exclude Grassley, Durham, Nunes etc.) and agents who worked across multiple investigations and to provide the number of years those people worked on those investigations (Grok calls...

Mike Davis just dropped a bomb on Fox News during his chat with Maria Bartiromo… and if what he’s saying turns out to be true, we’re not just talking about another political scandal, folks. We’re talking about the indictment of the century. Ironically, for years, the left and their media puppets told America that “Russian collusion” was the crime of the century. But the real crime, as Mike cleverly points out, wasn’t anything that Trump did… it’s what the Obama-Biden-Hillary crew unleashed on President Trump. The Crossfire Hurricane hit job wasn’t just the usual political dirty tricks. It was the...

In a pair of interviews by Maria Bartiromo (1, 2), Devin Nunes said Hillary started the Russia collusion hoax to keep Donald Trump from being elected. Obama continued the collusion hoax. Then Mueller and his team continued the collusion hoax. When Mueller completely flamed out because there was no intelligence that tied Trump to Russia, they launched the Ukraine whistleblower hoax. Then we had the Hunter Biden laptop, and the raid at Mar A Lago.All of that was done by, basically, the same two dozen people and media operatives that are all involved in perpetuating these hoaxes. Although these crimes...

The following is a refreshing podcast by John Solomon which shines a vigorous light on the ongoing 'grand conspiracy' against President Trump. The podcast is 38 minutes in length so my notes are rough and I will post them in two parts. The introductory text posted below the podcast at the link follows: John Solomon ReportsRussiagate Revisited: Uncovering the TruthIn this Just the News special report, John Solomon tackles the grand conspiracy against President Donald Trump. Senator Ron Johnson unpacks the intricate web of political scandals that have shaped the recent landscape of American politics. From the Ukraine impeachment to...

People in Washington DC are starting to realize the full scale of the Obama surveillance system. All of the evidence and datapoints, those released and those yet to surface, flow in one direction. Even the professionally reluctant are starting to admit.What Obama, Biden, Comey, Crossfire Hurricane, Robert Mueller, Arctic Frost and Jack Smith were doing, was using their offices -and govt systems- to watch their opposition, spy on them, then take action based on the results.Friend of the Treehouse John Spiropoulos has put together a series of videos explaining how President Obama, FBI Director James Comey and CIA Director John...

[H/T Bert]The video premiered Jul 27, 2025 and is 14 minutes in length. I posted my notes on the first half of the video (Part 1) below.[40 seconds into video]1. Nunes says Tulsi Gabbard explained that the President's Daily Briefing (PDB) contained the intel that no collusion was detected between Trump and Putin. That information was never given to Congress; but information given to Congress was in that 'disposed of PDB). President Trump's campaign was made aware of this information as was the House Intelligence Committee (w/Devin Nunes). Obama was briefed with the same information (i.e., 'nothing to see here'),...

Recently declassified documents indicate leaks of classified information to reporters were designed to portray Trump as in league with Russia. ================================================================== Recently declassified documents indicate that people close to former FBI Director James Comey and Democratic Sen. Adam Schiff were connected to leaks of classified information to prominent reporters designed to portray Donald Trump and his allies as being in league with Russia. Written in 2017, the FBI documents expose how selected Washington reporters, including Ellen Nakashima of The Washington Post and Michael Schmidt of The New York Times, scored a series of Pulitzer Prize-winning scoops in 2017 by repeating...

Could former FBI Director James Comey be the first major figure to face real accountability for his role in the destructive Russia collusion hoax? It’s a question worth asking given Thursday evening’s news that the cocky former intel chief has been indicted by a grand jury on counts of making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding. The charges were brought by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia. What’s particularly noteworthy about the indictment, however, is its relation to the Russia collusion hoax.As The Federalist’s Brianna Lyman summarized, “The charges arise from testimony Comey...

Donald Trump is now President of the United States for a second term, having survived an unprecedented campaign of lawfare that has included no fewer than four criminal prosecutions, two state and two federal, brought during the four years that he was out of office. All were brought by highly partisan Democratic Party prosecutors. The four prosecutions of Trump are all now essentially dead. However, much of the process of killing off these prosecutions has occurred either since Trump’s re-election, or only because of the fortuity of Trump getting enough appointments to the Supreme Court during his first four years...

Within hours of her 2016 presidential campaign loss, a devastated Hillary Clinton attributed her defeat not to the American voters who rejected her, but to Russia, echoing a campaign theme she had been developing for months. “Hillary declined to take responsibility for her own loss” and “kept pointing her finger” at Russia, according to Shattered, a 2017 book about her campaign—“Her team coalesced around the idea that Russian hacking was the major unreported story of the campaign.” The corporate media were also devastated, as they had spent the entire campaign mocking the idea that Trump and his anti-establishment positions on...

Doug Ross has created a very readable six-part series, with illustrations, outlining in great detail and in dramatic form the corruption of the FBI and the entire intelligence community in the latter years of the Obama administration, beginning first with an extensive cover-up of Hillary Clinton’s illegal use of a private server for sending classified emails, followed by the initial stages of the Russian collusion hoax against Trump that was also used to justify spying on his campaign. The series admits to be being a dramatization, but is also is based entirely on actual facts that are now documented and...

President Donald Trump has no issue with sending Obama-era FBI Director James Comey and CIA chief John Brennan — one of the 51 "spies who lie"— to prison. "I don't know if there's going to be" arrests, Trump told The Daily Caller in excerpts of an interview that will be released in full on Monday, adding, "there should be. "What they did is a disgrace. They cheated, they lied, they did so many bad things, evil things that were so bad for the country, and because they did something to me that should have never been done, nobody thought they'd...

President Trump’s tariffs are one of the broadest claims of executive power in American history, taxing imports from anywhere on his personal whim. The problem is he doesn’t have that power under the law or the Constitution, as the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled late Friday in V.O.S. Selections v. U.S. This is a crucial moment for the Constitution’s separation of powers. A 7-4 majority upheld a lower-court decision striking down the tariffs that Mr. Trump imposed under the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). In February he invoked the law to slap taxes on imports...

We’ve grown accustomed to corporate media lying to us. It’s the lazy lies that are perhaps most galling. The Wall Street Journal’s recent overheated piece on the Trump administration’s public revocation of an “undercover” senior CIA officer is ridiculously lazy. The CIA spook in question is a very overt member of the intelligence community. Just Google the name Julia Gurganus. ‘Zero Concerns’ Wall Street Journal national security reporter Brett Forrest on Wednesday reported that Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s naming of Gurganus on a list of 37 current and former officials stripped of their national security clearances has “alarmed...

President Trump promised voters during his campaign for a second term that he had bigger things on his mind than retribution against opponents. But it is increasingly clear that vengeance is a large part, maybe the largest part, of how he will define success in his second term. His revenge campaign took an ominous turn Friday as FBI agents raided the home and office of Mr. Trump’s first-term national security adviser John Bolton. They brought two broad warrants to search the “premises.” Agents showed up unannounced at his Bethesda, Md., home at 7 a.m. They confiscated his wife Gretchen’s phone...

Newly declassified memos reveal federal prosecutors secured evidence from FBI brass indicating that former FBI Director James authorized classified leaks shortly before the 2016 election, but they declined to bring charges. According to the memos obtained by Just The News, an investigation by the US Postal Inspection Service Agents revealed former FBI General Counsel James Baker and Comey’s Chief of Staff James Rybicki were involved in leaking the classified information to The New York Times in October 2016. The specific classified information was not identified. “The USPIS Investigation also revealed Baker disclosed USG classified information to the NYT under the...

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced the revocation of 37 security clearances of current and former officials who “abused public trust by politicizing and manipulating” information — including several who were involved in a controversial, Barack Obama-ordered assessment of Russian influence in the 2016 election. An ODNI memo dated Monday announced that the more than three dozen intel professionals — including a former top aide to Obama DNI James Clapper — had either politicized or weaponized intelligence, failed to safeguard classified info or not followed tradecraft standards. “The President has directed that, effective immediately, the security clearances of the...
