  1. None if this would be happening if the GOP wasn’t completely impotent, hapless, and hopeless. They need to distance themselves from this egomaniac who still clings to Warp Speed as a good thing, in spite of voluminous data to the contrary. Even the demented Biden has stopped taking credit for it. The GOP has zero chance of Re-election with Trump as their candidate.

  2. Newsmax Host Takes to Live TV to Show How Seized Trump Classified Docs Fit Into One Box: ‘Something Isn’t Adding Up’
    By Johnathan Jones, The Western Journal Jun. 14, 2023 9:00 am2 Comments

    Newsmax host Greg Kelly has punched a major hole in the establishment media’s reporting about the number of classified documents authorities claim former President Donald Trump left the White House with.

    Trump has been indicted for that as the Justice Department, which answers to President Joe Biden, seeks to put him in prison for the rest of his natural life.

    The country’s 45th president faces hundreds of years behind bars for alleged violations of the Espionage Act and other crimes, so says special counsel Jack Smith with all of his conflicts of interest.

    The latest overblown witch hunt has Democrats giddy and their media sycophants plastering images of rooms full of boxes on TV and online.

    The number of boxes sent on co-host of ABC’s “The View” into a disgusting erotic fit on Monday.

    Other partisans online have shared pictures of boxes from the DOJ that make it appear as though Trump packed up a U-Haul truck with government secrets and stashed them in a bathroom in Florida:

    Kelly demonstrated the truth about all those boxes on his show Monday night and again on Twitter Tuesday morning.

    Nothing of any relevance to the government’s supposed case is in any of them.

    In fact, as Kelly pointed out, the number of documents that were found to be classified actually fit in one box — with plenty of room to spare.

    Newsmax had “Something isn’t adding up” at the bottom of the screen as Kelly discussed the documents.

    Kelly tweeted, “Important: The CORRUPT Department of ‘Justice’ is trying to TAINT the American People (and Jury Pool?) w/ALARMIST photos that mean NOTHING! This is an absolute HOAX. (PS: the deep state ‘Leak’ classified docs ALL THE TIME to the Fake News who have no ‘clearance’!!).”

    Kelly’s claims are backed up by reporting from The Washington Post over what the FBI found at Mar-a-Lago last summer when it raided Trump’s home:

    “Inside the boxes, archivists found 197 classified documents, some extremely sensitive, the government alleged in court filings. That discovery set in motion the chain of events that led to the unsealing Friday of a 38-count indictment against Trump and Walt Nauta, a trusted servant.”

    The federal government and the media are coming after Trump with everything they can collectively muster.

    A casual viewer of this latest witch hunt might see images of Trump’s private residence and the boxes and come to the conclusion the former president was living among hoarded government secrets.

    As Kelly brilliantly pointed out, that is simply not the case.

    Trump might be guilty of needing to make some time better utilize his space.

    But per usual, the media’s collective portrayal of anything relating to the former president relies on dramatic overreactions, hyperbole and lies.

    OPINION
    KASH PATEL: Did Government Gangsters Unwittingly Exonerate Trump With Their Own Indictment?

    KASH PATEL
    CONTRIBUTOR
    June 13, 2023
    11:45 AM ET
    FONT SIZE:

    With President Trump’s recent indictment, the weaponized Department of Justice (DOJ) put the two-tier system of justice on blast for the American people to observe. But will it backfire? Will the DOJ’s politically motivated misconduct slam shut the coffin of justice as we know it, destroying America’s faith in the justice system, or will it be their undoing?

    Ironically, the indictment itself serves as President Trump’s exoneration. For over two years, we heard endlessly from the legacy media and their leaked stories from DOJ government gangsters that Trump unlawfully took countless classified documents — ones he wasn’t permitted to do so under the law. But when the DOJ finally went to the grand jury to seek charges, they must have forgotten to ask the jurors to return an indictment matching their years-long escapade.

    If Trump had so egregiously taken so many classified documents unlawfully, certainly that would be the charge leveled in the indictment. Yet, upon review, the DOJ sought no such charge. Instead, they reached back 105 years to the Espionage Act and what’s known as National Defense Information regarding retention.

    Quick histrionics: classified information didn’t exist by statute in the United States until the mid-20th century. Thus, by legal definition, charging President Trump with a statute that predates the creation of classified information, when they could’ve opted to charge him directly, legally precludes the DOJ from saying he took any classified documents. If you are going to shoot your shot, shoot your shot, if you are going to kill the king, kill the king. They not only missed, but their legal arrows are headed back towards their own heads.

    Surprisingly, we turn to the Clintons for Trump’s innocence. The DOJ established the legal precedent for prosecution of this same piece of the Espionage Act statute when ‘investigating’ Hillary Clinton. Hillary knowingly sent over 3 dozen emails containing actual classified information on an unsecure home server (two of the people who sent and received classified intelligence were Jake Sullivan and William Burns). Hillary was said not to have the intent necessary for any reasonable prosecutor to bring the case. Sullivan and Burns similarly were not prosecuted. Instead, they received promotions and are now serving as the National Security Director to Biden and the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

    Now for Bill. The Presidential Records Act protects every past president from prosecution for taking documents from his time in office upon leaving and the courts have decided that protection is ultimate in the “Clinton Sock Case,” where Bill Clinton took secret tapes after leaving office, hid them in his sock drawer and DOJ/NARA sued for their return. The court ruled definitively that the DOJ has no authority to pierce the Presidential Records Act, and those tapes have never been released.

    So if Trump illegally had classified documents, charge him for it. But the DOJ did not. If Hillary could not be charged by any reasonable prosecutor (as infamously laid out by then FBI Director, James Comey), neither can Trump. If the courts found Bill to have absolute immunity from prosecution based on the Presidential Records Act, so should Trump.

    Layering onto this vindictive system of Jenga justice is historic prosecutorial misconduct. The two lead prosecutors, Special Counsel Jack Smith and his deputy Karen Gilbert, have either been shellacked by a Supreme Court reversal 8-0 in the case of former Governor Bob McDonald or caught unlawfully recording a defense attorney and his team during an ongoing prosecution. Gilbert authorized it and she was about to be severely punished for her gross violations of law and ethics by the federal court in Miami in 2009, when she abruptly resigned.

    When asked by the presiding judge under oath if she had sought any approval for this illegal eavesdropping, she said “she thought she had.” Dr. Ali Shaygan, the defendant in that case was acquitted of all 141 felonious counts. And these are the same attorneys that got a D.C. judge to break Trump’s attorney-client privilege. See a pattern?

    President Trump and the federal courts now have a unique ability to rectify the two-tier system of justice simply by utilizing the Clintons, Comey and the DOJ’s own contradictory indictment. And let’s not forget Special Counsel Jack who stated last week, “We have one set of laws in this country, and they apply to everyone.” Good, then apply them, and since we know the DOJ won’t, it is up the Judge. These government gangsters have been running roughshod over American justice for far too long. It is ironic that its own demise will be brought on by its very creators. So much for the DOJ staying out of presidential elections.

  6. Hillary Clinton Trashes Trump For Storing Classified Documents at Mar-a-Lago Following Federal Indictment (VIDEO)
    By Cristina Laila Jun. 14, 2023 12:25 pm14 Comments

    Twice-failed presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton trashed Trump for lawfully storing presidential records at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

    “Pod Save America” host Jon Lovett asked Hillary Clinton about storing classified information on her private server.

    “Republicans claim that you did the same thing and got off scot-free, why did your friend Jim Comey let you off so easy?” the host asked Hillary Clinton.

    Hillary laughed as she trashed Trump and said it is “profoundly disturbing” to see Republicans defending Trump.

    Hillary gave away the game (just like Dr. Jill recently did) and said Trump’s federal indictment should have been the final straw for the Republican party.

    Clinton was shocked to see Trump still has tremendous support following the federal indictment.

    WATCH:

    CHINA HACKED HILLARY CLINTON’S PRIVATE SERVER THAT CONTAINED CLASSIFIED MATERIALS.

    Hillary Clinton used a private email system to conduct official government business when she was the head of the Department of State.

    Through many FOIA lawsuits, Judicial Watch revealed that many of Hillary Clinton’s emails contained classified material, including the name of a clandestine CIA agent.

    Not only did Hillary Clinton transmit classified material over a private server, she destroyed emails and BlackBerrys that were under subpoena.

    Clinton used BleachBit to destroy 33,000 emails and destroyed several BlackBerrys with a hammer.

    All hands were on deck to make sure that Espionage Act charges would not be brought against Hillary Clinton even though a Chinese company described as a front for Chinese Intel accessed her classified emails while she was the head of the Department of State.

    During a hearing in July of 2018, Congressman Louie Gohmert a member of the House Judiciary Committee, revealed that the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG) found that nearly all of Hillary Clinton’s 30,000 emails were sent to a foreign entity and the FBI did nothing about it.

    The ICIG found an “anomaly on Hillary Clinton’s emails going through their private server, and when they had done the forensic analysis, they found that her emails, every single one except four, over 30,000, were going to an address that was not on the distribution list,” Gohmert said to Peter Strzok during a previous hearing.

    Hillary Clinton’s husband Bill Clinton also stored classified tapes in his sock drawer and he was never charged.

  7. Mike Pence Will Not Commit to Pardoning President Trump if the Biden Regime Jails Him
    By Jim Hoft Jun. 14, 2023 2:30 pm61 Comments

    Mike Pence joined Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Wednesday on their popular radio show.

    During the interview Mike Pence refused to commit to pardoning President Donald Trump if the Biden regime is successful in jailing the leading GOP candidate.

    Mike Pence already said he will not pardon any January 6 prisoners who are receiving six times the court sentences of an ordinary criminal.

    You can make a good argument that the only reason they are in prison is because Mike Pence lied to the American public and refused to take action on January 6.

    Pence is done. He is only hanging around to trash President Trump. Go away, Mike.

  8. Ron DeSantis May Be the Next Republican Indicted and Jailed by the Raging Marxists – Maybe He Should Have Done More to Defend Trump?

    Communists play smash-mouth.

    On Tuesday the lawless Biden regime indicted and arraigned the leading opposition candidate in a Miami court.

    President Trump was charged with 37 crimes related to his possession of de-classified documents at his home in Mar-a-Lago. The president has the legal right to choose which documents he will declassify.

    Meanwhile, Joe Biden stole hundreds of classified documents going back to 1974. But America is living in a post-Constitution era today where Democrat politics trump the US Constitution. And Democrats and their Deep State cohorts can break laws at will without ever worrying about facing any consequences.

    Republicans allow this. Republicans talk a lot but we all know they are too weak to stand up to the angry unhinged Marxists controlling the nation today.

    On Tuesday Governor DeSantis declined to Tweet. He stayed away from Miami. He has been mostly silent as the Biden regime destroys the country and indicts the opposition leader.

    DeSantis is a fool to think he will get a pass from the raging Marxists if they are successful in destroying President Trump. He needs to read a few books on the 20th Century communist regimes.

    Governor Newsom is already talking about indicting Governor DeSantis.

    California Governor Gavin Newsom has warned of potential legal action against his Florida counterpart, Ron DeSantis, for allegedly leaving migrants outside a church in Sacramento, but DeSantis said the migrants wanted to go.

    Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta on Monday initiated an investigation into a group of migrants that were allegedly flown to Sacramento from Texas. Both claimed to have spoken to several of the migrants, who claimed to have been taken from the Lone Star state to New Mexico, and from there to California. They also appeared to have documents issued by the state of Florida, leading Newsom and Bonta to issue strong warnings against DeSantis and his administration.

    You’re up next, Ron.

  9. Case Against Trump ‘Irreparably Tainted by Government Misconduct’, Says Ex-Trump Defense Attorney

    KURT ZINDULKA13 Jun 2023
    The investigation into former President Donald Trump over alleged mishandling of classified documents has been “irreparably tainted by government misconduct” and therefore could see the case thrown out entirely before trial, a former Trump criminal defense attorney claimed.

    Timothy Parlatore, who served as a criminal defense attorney for former President Donald Trump until last month, has said that he believes there are fundamental flaws with the federal case against the current Republican frontrunner — particularly over the grand jury process and breaches of attorney-client privilege — which could result in the entire case being quashed before even heading to trial.

    Detailing how he would approach the pretrial strategy in an interview with POLITICO, Parlatore said that Trump’s attorneys should “attack the conduct of the entire investigation and show through death by a thousand cuts why this entire investigation is irreparably tainted by government misconduct,” adding: “The case, therefore, should be dismissed or, at a minimum, the prosecutor should be disqualified.”

    The defense lawyer said that one of the most important pretrial battles will concern the admissibility of the communication notes of Trump attorney Evan Corcoran, which were allowed to be used in the case by D.C. federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who allowed prosecutor Jack Smith to pierce attorney-client privilege under the “crime-fraud exception,” which allows the seal of secrecy between a lawyer and client if it is determined that their communications were made with the aim of gaining advice on how to commit a crime.

    Parlatore argued that the decision to unseal the notes — which according to the New York Times “gave prosecutors a road map to building their case” — was made prior to the Trump legal team having full access to the evidence put forward against him and therefore the motion will likely have to be re-argued before the court.

    Arguing that it was wrong for Trump to be charged with criminal counts for simply asking his attorney questions during a privileged conversation, Parlatore said: “It should have never been a crime-fraud exception, and once it was, it should never have been the evidence for a charge… It’s insane.”

    The former Trump defense attorney went on to say that this was followed by a series of wrongdoing by prosecutors during the grand jury process, during which, he claimed, prosecutors frequently asked about privileged attorney-client communications while telling the jury that for Trump’s team to invoke privilege was a sign of guilt. This alone would mean “that the entire grand jury process was flawed,” Parlatore said.

    Furthermore, Trump’s legal team will likely attempt to use discovery to obtain information about potential “prosecutorial misconduct” in terms of “the attempted extortion or witness tampering of one of the attorneys,” he said. It has been alleged by Trump’s lawyers that Justice Department counterintelligence chief Jay Bratt had attempted to exert inappropriate pressure on Trump co-defendant Walt Nuata and his attorney Stanley Woodward.

    “What communications are there between DOJ and anyone who oversees the judicial process? You would want to try to find any corroboration of that,” he questioned.

    Parlatore also said that he would target the legitimacy of the search warrant that led to the radical step of launching a raid on Trump’s estate at Mar-a-Lago in August of 2022, which could come under new scrutiny after the former president’s legal team is provided with the unredacted version of the warrant.

  10. ‘Back Up Plan For Jack Smith’ – Corrupt Prosecutor Andrew Weissmann Floats More Serious Federal Charges Against Trump in New Jersey
    By Cristina Laila Jun. 14, 2023 4:33 pm269 Comments

    Corrupt prosecutor Andrew Weissmann on Wednesday floated additional and more serious federal charges against Trump in New Jersey.

    Special Counsel Jack Smith last week indicted Trump on 37 federal counts in Miami.

    News of the Florida grand jury was leaked to the media just days before Trump was hit with 37 federal charges in Miami.

    Up until last week it was reported Jack Smith only had a grand jury in DC hearing evidence in the classified documents case.

    Jack Smith reportedly hit a roadblock and was unable to bring certain charges in DC since Mar-a-Lago is located in West Palm Beach so he empaneled a grand jury in Florida to ‘get Trump.’

    Trump was charged with 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information and 6 other process crimes stemming from his conversations with his lawyer.

    Jack Smith however did not charge Trump with dissemination of the national defense information related to documents stored at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf club.

    According to the indictment reviewed by this reporter, In July 2021, at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, NJ, during an audio-recorded meeting with a reporter and two staffers, Trump “showed and described a “plan of attack” that Trump said was prepared for him by the DoD and a senior military official.”

    Trump allegedly said he could have declassified the document while he was president, “Now I can’t, you know, but this is “still a secret.”

    Also according to the indictment, in August or September 2021, at the NJ golf club, Trump showed a rep from his PAC a “classified map related to a military operation and told the representative that he should not be showing to the representative…”

    Trump never disseminated national defense information but Andrew Weissmann said Jack Smith could bring more serious charges against Trump in New Jersey.

    “The legal uncertainties that surround bringing charges in Florida for dissemination of national-security secrets in Bedminster leaves open the possibility that charges might yet be brought in New Jersey—a backup plan of sorts for Smith. If Aileen Cannon, the Florida judge assigned to the case, were to seek to pocket-veto the charges before her by, say, scheduling the trial for after the 2024 presidential election, the special counsel would be able to sidestep her tactic by proceeding with charges in New Jersey.” Andrew Weissmann co-wrote in an op-ed for The Atlantic.

    Andrew Weissmann was involved in some of the most egregious corruption scandals in US history.

    Weissmann was involved in FBI activities with the mob in New York in the 1990s. He was a key member of the Enron Task Force in the early 2000s and also was involved in the sale of Uranium One under Obama.

    After all of his corrupt acts, Weissmann then led the corrupt Mueller Special Counsel and he is likely behind the scenes still working to jail Trump.

    Trump Campaign Has Raised Over $7 Million Since Indictment News Broke
    By Cassandra MacDonald Jun. 14, 2023 5:40 pm1 Comment

    The Trump campaign has announced that it has raised over $7 million since news broke that the Department of Justice was indicting the former president.
    Trump was indicted on 37 felony charges on Tuesday.

    In a press release about the fundraising, Trump’s campaign wrote that “since deranged Jack Smith took the unprecedented step of weaponizing the justice system to attack his political opponent, Donald J. Trump for President 2024 has raised more than $6.6 million in just a few short days.”

    Trump spokeswoman Liz Harrington tweeted the press release with an update, saying that they had now surpassed $7 million.

    “In a clear sign of the steadfast support President Donald J. Trump enjoys from grassroots Patriots across the nation, over $4.5 million has been raised from digital fundraising, with an additional $2.1 million raised at President Trump’s event at Bedminster last night,” the statement added.

    Trump’s statement continued, “the American people will not stand for this corrupt attempt to interfere in the 2024 election against the leading candidate for President who will demolish the Deep State and finish the job of draining the swamp.”

    The statement added that Trump is the only candidate who can beat Joe Biden in the general election.

    Trump entered a “not guilty” plea through his attorneys and did not speak during Tuesday’s court appearance. He has been charged with 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information; one count of conspiracy to obstruct justice; one count of withholding a document or record; one count of corruptly concealing a document or record; one count of concealing a document in a federal investigation; one count of scheme to conceal; and one count of false statements and representations.

    Trump is currently the Republican frontrunner for the 2024 nomination — and his lead has only grown stronger since the indictment was announced. A person is not prohibited from being elected if convicted, even in prison.

    In an interview with Politico on Sunday, Trump said he would not drop out of the race — even if he is convicted.

    “I’ll never leave,” Trump said. “Look, if I would have left, I would have left prior to the original race in 2016. That was a rough one. In theory that was not doable.”

    This is the second time Trump has been indicted this year, but the first time being charged federally.

    In April, the Manhattan district attorney charged Trump with falsifying business records, alleging that he hid hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.

    Trump’s campaign said that they raised $15.4 million in a donation bump after the New York charges were announced, according to a report from the Associated Press.

    Advice from Israel to America: everyone’s a bit uneasy the first time a country’s leader gets indicted, but eventually you get used to it and before long you’ve got prime ministers testifying against each other while one of them is in office and the other leads the opposition.

    Headline, Times of Israel:
    In court, Netanyahu’s defense attorney accuses Lapid of being an unreliable witness
    In fiery exchange, lawyer Amit Hadad points to discrepancies in opposition leader’s accounts and says he has lied about his IDF service, which Lapid decries as ‘malicious gossip’

    We have presidential debates, Israel has cross-examination in a court of law. Every democracy has its own way of sorting this stuff out.

    • Fortunately, no Prime Minister in Canada will ever testify against another Prime Minister. The incoming Prime Minister is a clone of the outgoing, and there is a Gentlemens Agreement that they will not pursue each other. This applies at all levels in Canada – Municipal, Provincial, and Federal. Otherwise people like Wynne, McGuinty, all Ottawa Mayors, all Toronto Mayors, all Premiers, would be doing life sentences for a wide variety of crimes from Accepting Bribes, corruption. Racketeering, misappropriation of Public Funds, collusion, to Treason. Nudge nudge wink wink.
