Former Attorney General Bill Barr proclaimed that the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story by legacy media and big tech corporations “definitely” had an effect on the 2020 presidential election. Barr recalled when a letter signed by more than 50 former senior U.S. intelligence officials – including former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper — claimed the allegations regarding a laptop purportedly owned by President Joe Biden’s son “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation” was released in October 2020. “As soon as this letter came out from the so-called intelligence specialists, the DNI, John Radcliffe...

With each new indictment, Special Counsel John Durham is slowly exposing the extent of the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign’s involvement, and that of other longtime Democrat operatives, in the most destructive political dirty trick in history. The big question that remains is whether the ringleader and masterminds of the Russian collusion hoax will ever be revealed and held accountable. The indictments handed down involve lying to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and the FBI. Last year, Kevin Clinesmith, the FBI attorney who falsified a document that was then presented to that court, received a mere slap on the wrist. What...

Former Attorney General William Barr bluntly dismissed some of former President Donald Trump's election fraud allegations as "bulls***" in new interviews published Sunday in the Atlantic. “My attitude was: It was put-up or shut-up time,” Barr recalled at one point. “If there was evidence of fraud, I had no motive to suppress it. But my suspicion all the way along was that there was nothing there. It was all bulls***.”

Trump...

Wray, who was testifying before the House Homeland Security Committee as part of its Worldwide Threat hearing, was responded to questions about the level of threat the movement poses.

We do have quite a number of properly...

Trump supporters are waiting with baited breath for U.S. Attorney John Durham to come out with his explosive findings in regards to his investigation into the origins of the Russian collusion probe against President Trump. According to Judicial Watch founder Tom Fitton, Trump supporters are getting taken for a ride. Fitton said during a recent appearance on Fox Business’ “Lou Dobbs Tonight” that Barr and Durham are making no progress on investigating what very well may be the worst criminal conspiracy in U.S. history. “You know, my concern is it’s been, what, sixteen-plus months since Durham was appointed and only...

The Justice Department announced new restrictions Tuesday on how it conducts any secret national security surveillance of candidates for federal office or their staff. The restrictions, announced by Attorney General William Barr in a pair of memos, are part of broader changes to the Justice Department’s surveillance procedures implemented in response to problems detected during the 2016 investigation into ties between Russia and President Donald Trump’s campaign. Coming just two months before the 2020 election, the changes are designed to ensure that law enforcement officials have to clear additional hurdles before pursuing the same type of surveillance as was conducted...

On MSNBC's AM Joy show today, Ayanna Pressley, a Democrat congresswoman from Massachusetts and member of The Squad, said: "I'm looking to the public . . . There needs to be unrest in the streets for as long as there is unrest in our lives. And unfortunately, there's plenty to go around." Was Pressley fomenting violence? She certainly was inciting "unrest"—with no end in sight. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

“There are two different things going on,” Barr said. “One, I’ve said that the American people need to know what actually happened, we need to get through the story of what happened in 2016 and 2017, now, out. That will be done.” “The second aspect of this is, if people crossed the line, if people involved in that activity violated the criminal law, they will be charged,” Barr continued. “And John Durham is an independent man, highly experienced, and his investigation is pursuing a case. There was some delay because of COVID, but I’m satisfied with the progress and I’ve...

Print this article Former CIA Director John Brennan appears to have dodged prosecution in U.S. Attorney John Durham's criminal inquiry into the Russia investigation. After NBC News reported Thursday that Brennan agreed to do an interview with Durham, signaling that his investigation is nearing its end, a lawyer familiar with the situation told NPR that the Obama-era CIA director has been told he is not a target of prosecutors. Instead, this source said, the interview will mainly consist of technical questions. The news is sure to disappoint some of President Trump's most ardent supporters who believe Brennan and other top...

Attorney General William Barr is expected to come out swinging when he testifies on Capitol Hill Tuesday, accusing Democrats of falsely seeking to paint him as a Trump loyalist and challenging them to denounce violence in Portland, Ore.

"Ever since I made it clear that I was going to do everything I...

What are Freepers thoughts on Julian Assange? Barr's DOJ want him extradited to face espionage charges for allegedly publishing classified material. It's likely he will face a rigged trial in DC (Maybe under Berman Jackson!) and won't have a hope in defending himself which he is entitled to. He could face the rest of his life behind bars under this arcane espionage law. It does not sit right with me. Thoughts?
