On February 11th all four DOJ prosecutors in the Roger Stone case abruptly resigned after the Department of Justice backed down from their outrageous and excessive sentencing recommendations for Roger Stone after he was caught lying to Congress in a process crime. Roger Stone, a Republican and Trump confidante, is 67 and has NO criminal record. Democrats and Amy Berman Jackson want him to die in prison. So who exactly are these so-called “career line prosecutors” as the fake news media keeps calling them in the Roger Stone case? Everyone of them has a direct tie to Hillary Clinton or Barack […]

US Attorney General William Barr on Sunday spoke to CBS’s “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan about the ongoing George Floyd riots. As per usual, CBS’s Margaret Brennan did her best to spread fake news and propaganda by claiming the protests have been “largely peaceful,” however, Bill Barr destroyed all of her talking points. “A senior administration official told our CBS’s David Martin that in a meeting at the White House on Monday morning, the President demanded that 10,000 active-duty troops be ordered into American streets — Is that accurate?” Brennan asked Barr. “No, that’s completely false. That’s completely false,” Barr […]

(Matt Tait and Andrew Weissmann) The attorney for a star witness of the Mueller sham just happens to be a colleague of former Mueller gang leader Andrew Weissmann. Who would have thought? A week ago, the transcripts from House hearings a couple years ago, involving the fraudulent Trump – Russia collusion sham, were finally released. One individual who spoke before the House Committee was Matt Tait. Tait wrote a post at the notoriously far left entity Lawfare on June 30, 2017.

Former Congressman Jason Chaffetz, who led the house oversight committee, slammed Obama and Biden for directly colluding with the FBI to ambush Trump’s administration. “It is directly Barack Obama and Joe Biden talking to the FBI Director who then does things that we have never, ever seen before in the FBI in ambushing this White House. And I got to tell you, what bugs me as much as anything, Ed, is they did not give the incoming president the courtesy and the respect of giving him a defensive briefing one on one. They totally bypassed that. That is fundamentally and totally […]
Attorney Sol Wisenberg shared with Laura Ingraham on the Ingraham Angle tonight that the actions of Judge Sullivan go against the results of a recent case on the matter in the DC Circuit. If the DOJ or government wants to dismiss a case they proposed, a judge cannot refuse the government’s right to do so. The judge overseeing the General Flynn case, Judge Sullivan, has shown his disdain for the rule of law. He accused General Flynn of treason during one court hearing. He is clearly a Deep State hack. Now he wants to bring another judge into the case to […]

Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton have each released statements calling for the immediate release of Shelley Luther, the Dallas salon owner who had the audacity to open her business.
