Trump slams ‘communist’ persecution of conservatives while speaking at DOJ

By  Logan Washburn | The Federalist The Department of Justice was persecuting Donald Trump with sham trials just last year. But today, now-President Trump spoke at the DOJ, calling out the “communist” federal persecution of conservatives. “They tried to turn America into a corrupt communist and Third World country, but in the end, the thugs failed and the truth won. Freedom won, justice won, democracy won, and above all, the American people won,” Trump said. “There could be no more heinous betrayal of American values than to use the law to terrorize the innocent and reward the wicked.” A “corrupt group of hacks and radicals” in the federal government “weaponized the vast powers of our intelligence and law enforcement agencies to try and thwart the will of the American people,” Tru...

CO AG Weiser on DOJ’s review of Tina Peters’ case: “Grotesque attempt to weaponize the rule of law” 

By RMV Staff | Rocky Mountain Voice The DOJ is now reviewing whether federal agencies engaged in politically motivated lawfare in the high-profile case of former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters. In response to the DOJ’s filing, Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser urged the Denver federal court to reject its interference. The DOJ’s recent move to review Peters’ prosecution for "political bias" is a rare and unprecedented step, leading many to question whether this is a genuine concern for justice or simply an attempt to suppress dissent. Peters was sentenced to nine years behind bars for actions related to the forensic imaging of Mesa County's election management system in 2021.  The mainstream narrative has painted her as a criminal, but the DOJ’s sudden interest in reviewing h...

Google begs Trump DOJ to reverse course on breaking up monopoly after antitrust trial

By Lucas Nolan | Breitbart Google is asking the Trump administration’s Justice Department to reconsider its push to break up the search giant, arguing that such a move could harm U.S. national security and the economy. Bloomberg reports that representatives from Google met with officials from the DOJ last week, urging them to take a less aggressive approach in their ongoing antitrust case against the company. The search engine giant is currently facing potential remedies that could force it to sell its Chrome web browser and make significant changes to its business practices, including ending billions of dollars in exclusivity payments to companies like Apple. Google’s argument centers around the potential impact on national security and the economy if the company were to be brok...

EPA working with DOJ, FBI on NGO corruption after eight groups tied to ‘gold bars’ scheme

By Sean Moran | Breitbart Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lee Zeldin detailed on The Alex Marlow Show how the Biden administration protected $20 billion in “gold bars” meant for leftist NGOs, many of them with connections to the Biden administration. Zeldin sent shockwaves in mid-February after he had pledged to recover $20 billion in taxpayer funds that had been sent by the Biden administration to climate change projects and other pet projects of Democrat staffers. The EPA Administrator at the time likened it to “throwing gold bars off the Titanic,” saying that it was a “rush job with reduced oversight.” READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Pam Bondi says FBI lied to her about turning over all of the Epstein files

By  Ashe Schow | Daily Wire In a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel, Attorney General Pam Bondi accused the bureau of lying to her about turning over its files on millionaire sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Bondi sent the letter on Thursday, after she said she learned from a source Wednesday night that she hadn’t received all the Epstein files despite the FBI’s repeated assurances that she had. “Before you came into office, I requested the full and complete files related to Jeffrey Epstein,” Bondi wrote to Patel, according to a copy of the letter posted to X by Michael Shellenberger. “In response to this request, I received approximately 200 pages of documents, which consisted primarily of flight logs, Epstein’s list of contacts, and a list of victims’ names and phone numbers.” R...

FBI agents sue Trump DOJ to block any public identification of employees who worked on Jan. 6 investigations

By Breanne Deppisch | Fox News A group of nine FBI agents filed a lawsuit Tuesday seeking to block the public identification of any FBI employees who worked on the Jan. 6 investigations into the U.S. Capitol riots, in an attempt to head off what they described as potentially retaliatory efforts against personnel involved in the probe. The plaintiffs, who filed the lawsuit anonymously in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, said that any effort to review or discriminate against FBI employees involved in the Jan. 6 investigations would be "unlawful and retaliatory," and a violation of civil service protections under federal law. The lawsuit cited the questionnaire employees were required to fill out detailing their specific role in the Jan. 6 investigation and Mar-a...

DOJ pledges to end ‘weaponization’ of FACE act, drop three ongoing cases

By Robert McGreevy | Daily Caller The Department of Justice (DOJ) pledged to end the federal government’s weaponization of the law, instructing the Civil Rights Division to dismiss with prejudice three FACE Act cases that targeted pro-life protesters, according to a memorandum obtained by the Daily Caller. The DOJ under former President Joe Biden used the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act to prosecute a relatively large number of pro-life protesters. The 1994 law prohibits “violent, threatening, damaging, and obstructive conduct intended to injure, intimidate, or interfere with the right to seek, obtain or provide reproductive health services.” The majority of the pro-life protesters Biden’s DOJ prosecuted under the FACE Act were nonviolent. “Even though more than 1...
