President Trump said Monday that he was “surprised” by Attorney General William Barr’s statement that he doesn’t anticipate a criminal investigation into former President Obama or former Vice President Joe Biden. “I think if it was me, they would do it. I think if for them, maybe, they’re not going to,” Trump told reporters Monday afternoon when asked about the attorney general's comments. “I’m surprised because Obama knew everything that was happening.” “I think it’s just a continuation of a double standard. I am surprised by it,” the president continued. Barr earlier Monday said he didn’t expect U.S. attorney John...

President Trump has gone on the record that the plotters against him in what he called an "attempted coup" are going to be exposed and brought to justice for their misdeeds, and that it is happening faster than most people believe.  Last night, for almost three quarters of an hour, President Trump spoke via telephone on air with Sean Hannity on the latter's eponymous Fox News program.  Because the two men are friends, the conversation flowed from topic to topic, covering a wide range of points.  But the president made some startling points that cover complicated stories just emerging. Probably, the key...

Today’s Campaign Update, Part III (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Here’s one of the main reasons why Donald Trump was elected: Because he doesn’t mince words. – I knew Donald Trump would win the GOP 2016 nomination on the night of August 6, 2015 when, in a question in the first GOP debate , moderator Chris Wallace asked all 12 candidates on stage to give him a direct answer to a simple question. I paused the TV, turned to my sweet wife, who was watching the debate with me, and said, “Watch this: Trump’s going to be the only person...

Lots of whispers circulating in and around Washington D.C. regarding a Trump White House that is set to unleash an investigative push back against all those false accusors that have been peddling the dangerous and divisive Trump-Russia hoax for the last two years. Word is members of both the Clinton and Obama gang are bracing for impact. DEVELOPING…

The man who used to run the CIA, and lost his job when Donald Trump took office, did a huge amount of damage to the United States by calling the sitting president a traitor. Because of his presumed access to information unavailable to the public, many foreign leaders had reason to believe that they could resist the demands and requests of President Trump by simply outlasting him in office. Think Kim Jong un, Xi Jin ping, Angela Merkel, and of course Vladimir Putin for starters. Victor Davis Hanson has pointed out that almost fifty years of American diplomacy has...

White House spokesman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Monday that media figures and Democrats who accused President Trump of working with Russia were guilty of treason — and could face the death penalty. “They are literally, the media and Democrats have called the president an agent of a foreign government. That is an accusation equal to treason, which is punishable by death in this country,” she said on NBC’s “Today” show.

America got conned again. It was all a big set-up. A ruse. A dirty canard. The whole thing was one giant lie. And everybody peddling it — from House Democratic leaders, to Senate Democrats running for president, to the Senate Republican who reported the whole thing in the first place, to the roaring lions of the Great White Media — knew it was a lie. Sure, there are some — take sleazy lawyer Michael Avenatti, for instance — who are so monumentally stupid that he probably did not know that it was all a big con. It is not uncommon...

Former CIA chief John O. Brennan now says his months of attacks on President Trump may have been based on “bad information.”... “Well, I don’t know if I received bad information but I think I suspected there was more than there actually was,” Mr. Brennan told host Joe Scarborough. “I am relieved that it’s been determined there was not a criminal conspiracy with the Russian government over our election.”

Townhall's Katie Pavlich dug this up from newly-released emails from ultra-chatty FBI'ers Page and McCabe. On Oct. 14, 2016, Page wrote to McCabe, WRT a WH meeting. “Page to McCabe. "Apparently DAG [Sally Yates] now wants to be there, and WH wants DOJ to host.... We will very much need to get Cohen’s view (then-Deputy CIA Director David Cohen). Better, have him weigh in before the meeting. We need to speak with one voice, if that is in fact the case.” McCabe responded within the hour: "Thanks. I will reach out to David." On Oct. 19, Page wrote to McCabe...

CTH is going to break down the AG Barr Principal Conclusion notification letter against more than three years of background research. Yes, more than “three years“, is the correct time-frame here. The origin of the DOJ/FBI operation against Donald Trump goes back to 2015; the Mueller probe was a 2017 concluding chapter in the seditious conspiracy effort. I’m going to cite as much background as possible; however, this review encompasses so much granular history that some parts might be too complex for a person who only recently jumped into the story. Disclaimer: this outline does not fit the narrative from...

VIDEO The reactions of much of the liberal media to the long-awaited Robert Mueller Report are absolutely HILARIOUS. It was not at all what they expected. In this video I present some of the more entertaining of these media meltdowns. Keep watching the DUmmie FUnnies channel because I am sure in the very near future we will have more compilations of these very funny meltdowns.

President Donald Trump told reporters that it was time to investigate leftist Democrats for pushing the ongoing hoax that his campaign colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election. “There are a lot of people out there that have done some very very evil things, very bad things. I would say treasonous things against our country,” Trump said. “And hopefully, people that have done such harm to our country, we’ve gone through a period of really bad things happening. Those people will certainly be looked at. I have been looking at them for a long time.”

JONATHAN KARL, ABC NEWS: Mr. President, did this not turn out to be a witchhunt after all? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: It lasted a long time. We're glad it's over. It's 100% the way it should have been. I wish it could have gone a lot sooner, a lot quicker. There are a lot of people out there that have done some very, very evil things, very bad things. I would say treasonous things against our country and hopefully that people that have done such harm to our country......Those people will certainly be looked at. I've been looking at them for...

First, a couple of things to keep in mind about the Mueller Report. It wasn't just Mueller- it was a team, and not just any team. It was a team of mostly hardened democrats who were rabidly anti-Trump. This is the original team. Of them, None of the 16 lawyers known to work for special counsel Robert Mueller are registered RepublicansThere are 13 registered Democrats on the investigation and three lawyers with no party affiliationCampaign finance records reveal that 11 lawyers are Democratic donors Their donations? The special counsel’s office has previously disclosed that nine of the 16 lawyers have made a...

The former President now owes the country an explanation for the historic abuse of government surveillance powers. The Mueller report confirms that the Obama administration, without evidence, turned the surveillance powers of the federal government against the presidential campaign of the party out of power. This historic abuse of executive authority was either approved by President Barack Obama or it was not. It’s time for Mr. Obama, who oddly receives few mentions in stories about his government’s spying on associates of the 2016 Trump campaign, to say what he knew and did not know about the targeting of his party’s...

President Trump and his legal team declared total victory Sunday following the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s key findings -- including no evidence of collusion with Russia during the 2016 campaign -- but sought to turn the tables by renewing calls to investigate the investigators. Trump himself slammed the probe as an “illegal takedown,” as he called Mueller’s report a “complete exoneration” and said it was a “shame” his presidency had to deal with the investigation for two years. “Hopefully somebody is going to look at the other side,” Trump said. “This was an illegal takedown that failed and...
