Newly unredacted documents in the Mar-a-Lago raid case indicate that Jack Smith was after Obama and North Korea-related documents. After the raid the DOJ was pleased with their findings and wrote, “I think we are in good shape.” President Trump said two years after he met Obama before his 2017 Inauguration that Obama was on the brink of starting a war with North Korea. Trump claimed that Obama was “close to starting a big war” with North Korea. Obama must not have liked this. The corrupt and criminal Obama/Biden gang was after documents related to North Korea years later when...

by Julie KellyAs I noted yesterday, Elizabeth Prelogar totally misrepresented (lied?) how DOJ routinely handles sentencing requests for those convicted of 1512c2. Under questioning from Kavanaugh about prison sentences, Prelogar tried to make it sound like 1512c2 defendants with other nonviolent offenses (common misdemeanors) only get about 24 months in jail. She quickly mentioned the "Brock" case--referring to Larry Brock, a man from Texas convicted at bench trial of 1512c2 and 5 misdemeanors--and the "enhancement" recently overturned by DC appellate court in 1512c2 convictions. So what did DOJ ask for in Brock case? Not 24-26 months as Prelogar attempted to...

[This is a compilation of several X/Twitter posts made by Julie Kelly who is attending the Trump Classified Documents Hearing, that is also attended by Jack Smith and Donald Trump. You can read the entire thread, including future updates, at the source link.] LUNCH BREAK in Florida courtroom of Judge Cannon in classified documents case. President Trump arrived at 9:55 along with his attorneys and co-defendants. Special Counsel Jack Smith here too but did not speak during morning session. Judge Cannon appears unfazed by yet another historic hearing in her courtroom. She peppered Smith’s team with questions about timing of...

According to a new Jack Smith filing the DOJ may be a part of the scandal of the ‘missing’ Secret Service text messages. Jack Smith in his Monday night filing objected to Trump’s demands for evidence from the Department of Homeland Security and January 6 Committee. Per Julie Kelly: It appears DOJ is part of the scandal of the missing Secret Service texts. As I reported a few days ago, thousands of texts between 2 dozen Secret Service officials/agents including the director and Robert Engel–the agent Trump allegedly attacked on J6 according to Cassidy Hutchinson–were deleted at the end of...

Defense attorneys have coined the term “January 6 Jurisprudence” to describe the treatment received by the more than 1,200 defendants arrested so far in connection with the events of Jan. 6, 2021. This carve-out legal system involves the unprecedented and possibly unlawful use of a corporate evidence-tampering statute; excessive prison sentences and indefinite periods of pretrial incarceration; and the designation of nonviolent offenses as federal crimes of terrorism. The results so far appear to contradict the court’s collective conclusion. Court records show the jury selection process has repeatedly revealed a strong degree of bias against anyone tied to Jan. 6....

Rep Jim Jordan and David Schoen join Mark Levin on Life, Liberty and Levin tonight, September 10 at 8pm Eastern on Fox News.

As he makes his actions on January 6 the centerpiece of his campaign, Pence appears to have a different recollection than those of his top aides. During last week’s GOP debate in Milwaukee, the former vice president forced his Republican opponents to thank him for allegedly saving the republic on January 6, 2021. “The American people deserve to know whether everyone on this stage agrees that I kept my oath to the Constitution that day,” Pence declared. Unfortunately, the rest of the field complied. “Mike Pence stood for the Constitution and he deserves not grudging credit, he deserves our thanks...

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has a canned response when asked any question related to the events of January 6, 2021: It’s time to move on. On the campaign trail, DeSantis often claims that January 6 will be a losing issue in the general election. The governor repeated that warning at the debate in Milwaukee on Wednesday night, insisting the 2024 election “is not about January 6 of 2021, it’s about January 20 of 2025.” DeSantis has neatly sidestepped the matter of January 6 since announcing his run for president, entirely avoiding any mention of the date until recently. Radio show...

At her first appearance in the criminal case against Donald Trump for his alleged attempt to overturn the 2020 election, U.S. District Court Judge Tanya S. Chutkan repeatedly warned the former president’s lawyers that politics would not be tolerated in her courtroom. “The fact that [Trump is] running a political campaign has to yield to the orderly administration of justice,” Chutkan said during the August 11 hearing. “If that means he can’t say exactly what he wants to say about witnesses in this case, that’s how it has to be.” But even as she warns Trump about his “inflammatory” language,...

Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 It won’t just be Trump named in a Jan 6 indictment. DOJ/Smith love conspiracy charges and every conspiracy count—obstruction, seditious, etc—needs at least one co-conspirator. Prepare for lawyers, WH officials, campaign aides, and maybe GOP House members to be indicted, too. 11:22 AM · Jul 18, 2023

Speaker McCarthy fearlessly unveils all the footage of January 6th to journalists, finally revealing the truth about Ashli Babbitt! Prepare for a shocking revelation that will expose the hidden agenda behind the events at the Capitol. The truth is out, folks! An interview with Julie Kelly of American Greatness who thanks MTG for getting her and others access to the J6 footage. She also explains how that access works.

Speaker McCarthy and the GOP majority in the US House made a number of promises as this session of Congress began. Will this Congress act or will they pull a Lindsey Graham? In 2018 Senator Lindsey Graham promised to get to the bottom of the Mueller exam. The DOJ and FBI committed crimes in attempting a coup of the Trump Administration. Graham promised to get to who was behind this unconstitutional and criminal effort. But he lied. He never had any intention of digging into Obamagate and all the crimes that took place before the 2016 election and into the...

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s flop was merely the unsatisfying appetizer for the feast on Donald Trump that is about to come. The first grand jury indictment against Donald Trump, like so many highly-anticipated gotcha moments involving the former president, landed with a thud this week. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s 34-count bill of goods failed to impress legal and political observers across the spectrum. Even Ruth Marcus, associate editor for the Washington Post, admitted the legal basis for the charges is “unnervingly flimsy at worst.” News coverage of Bragg’s faceplant is quickly disappearing from the front pages as all...

Judge Aileen Cannon knew the Justice Department’s recent history of bad behavior related to all things Donald Trump would repeat itself. How right she was. Judge Aileen Cannon was right. In her controversial order authorizing the appointment of a neutral third-party to review the classification status of documents seized during the FBI’s pillage of Mar-A-Lago last summer, Cannon cited as a main concern the Justice Department’s chronic habit of leaking to the news media. Leaks hinting at what FBI investigators allegedly found, including perhaps nuclear secrets, were reported by reliable media apparatchiks just a few days after the FBI’s unprecedented...

The Department of Justice (DOJ) revealed Wednesday that a witness who Jan. 6 defendant Enrique Tarrio’s lawyer Sabino Jauregui planned to call for testimony had been an FBI informant, based on a court filing American Greatness’ Julie Kelly obtained. Jauregui said DOJ attorneys would not tell him whether two other planned witnesses were FBI informants, a hearing transcript shows. “My biggest concern is the fact that we still have confidential human sources who are unknown to us,” defendant Zachary Rehl’s lawyer Carmen Hernandez said Thursday. A Jan. 6 defendant’s lawyer said Justice Department (DOJ) attorneys would not tell him Wednesday...

John Le Carré’s cunning and ruthless patriot may not be fiction after all. How delightful that among the Republican members of the new Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government of the House Judiciary Committee is Harriet Hageman of Wyoming, and not the objectionable Liz Cheney. SNIP Joe Biden has numerous shortcomings as a political leader; apart from apparently being challenged by a severe shortness of brainpower, the commander-in-thief regards the people of MAGA not as fellow citizens to be respected, but as political foes to be destroyed. Applauding a charlatan’s State of the Union address throughout, not...

Just like everything out of Garland’s department, the notion that Jack Smith is in charge and his staff is “independent” is a total fabrication. To hear the media tell it, Jack Smith, the special counsel appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Donald Trump’s alleged theft of classified documents and any illegal interference in the certification of the 2020 election results, is feverishly working away. Smith, according to a recent story in Yahoo News, issued subpoenas seeking more information related to Trump’s attempts to “overturn” the 2020 election. The subpoenas target “election officials in seven battleground states that were...

Joe Biden and congressional Democrats are plowing new and dangerous ground. Meanwhile, the GOP is silent. When Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) looks around his adopted hometown of Washington, D.C.—a city shamelessly and aggressively using every lever of federal power to destroy Donald Trump and the 76 million Americans who dared to vote for him in 2020—he sees only one menace to the well-being of the nation: January 6 protesters. “I do think it’s an important issue,” McConnell said in response to a reporter’s question about a recent poll that ranked “threats to democracy” as the top concern among...

Jeffrey Rosen had a secret on January 6, 2021. The then-acting attorney general—Rosen was appointed on December 24, 2020 to replace departing Attorney General William Barr—had assembled a team of elite and highly skilled government agents at Quantico, a nexus point between the FBI and U.S. military, the weekend before Congress met to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election. At the same time he was rejecting President Donald Trump’s last-minute appeals to investigate election fraud, Rosen was managing a hush-hush operation in advance of planned rallies and protests in Washington on January 6. “Rosen made a unilateral decision...

Investigative reporter Julie Kelly from American Greatness joined author Lee Smith on EpochTV.com to discuss the ongoing persecution of the January 6 political prisoners and the Democrat Party’s ultimate plan to arrest President Donald Trump. During their one hour discussion Julie Kelly emphasized the need to expose the top Democrat Party operatives who are behind the physical and mental torture of Trump supporters who have been targeted in the January 6 witch hunt.
