FBI checks, ethics paperwork threaten to slow down Trump confirmations

By Alexander Bolton | The Hill Republican sources on Capitol Hill warn that President-elect Trump’s nominees may be delayed because of paperwork holdups and the slow start of FBI background checks, creating obstacles for the speedy confirmation of Trump’s national security team. Senate Republican leaders called on colleagues to swiftly confirm Trump’s national security team in the wake of the suspected terror attack in New Orleans on New Year’s Day, but those pleas for fast action are running up against procedural thickets in the Senate, where even routine business can take days or weeks to get done. As of Thursday evening, only Pete Hegseth, Trump’s nominee to head the Defense Department, had the date of his confirmation hearing announced — Jan. 14. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE ...

Lyman: Here’s who Biden’s FBI decided to persecute rather than hunt down real terrorists

By Brianna Lyman | Commentary, The Federalist Imagine how much worse Wednesday’s deadly event would have been had the FBI not taken dangerous grandmothers off the street? Early Wednesday morning, a radical Islamic terrorist drove his truck through a crowd of people celebrating the start of the new year in New Orleans. Fifteen people were murdered and more than 35 injured. But maybe this tragedy could have been avoided if the FBI spent less time targeting parents, Catholics and countless other dissidents and instead focused its resources on catching actual  terrorists. Shamsud-Din Jabbar plowed through a crowd in his Ford F-150 Lightning EV truck draped with an ISIS flag before shooting at police officers, who fatally shot Jabbar. Jabbar “recently converted to Islam” and ...

FBI, DOJ officials with Biden-Harris admin lawyer up in prep for potential prosecutions by incoming AG Matt Gaetz

By Thomas Stevenson | The Post Millennial Current DOJ as well as FBI officials are reaching out to lawyers after President-elect has chosen former Rep. Matt Gaetz for US Attorney General. Some of the most senior officials in the federal justice agencies are preparing for potential prosecution during the upcoming Trump administration. According to NBC News, after Trump's victory over Harris, some long-time and senior-level staff at the DOJ as well as the FBI are nervous that Trump appointments such as Gaetz at the DOJ could go after them legally. The selection of Gaetz has specifically made them nervous about possible cases against them, per the outlet. Some FBI officials were "shell-shocked" by Trump's election win.  Trump has long promised to "drain the swamp...

One agency is melting down over Trump’s win

By Matt Vespa | Townhall The Federal Bureau of Investigation is reportedly a place of mourning. Donald Trump won the 2024 election, capping off the greatest political comeback in American history. It’s over. Done. Trumpism is here to stay. The man has defeated the liberal media, the intelligence community, and the Justice Department, and they’re shell-shocked and stunned over this decisive win. Trump won 312 electoral votes and the popular vote. For the top brass at the J. Edgar Hoover Building, it’s likely the end of their tenure at the agency (via Washington Times):  " The brass on the seventh floor at FBI headquarters in Washington are walking around in a daze and wary of a housecleaning since President-elect Donald Trump won his reelection on Tuesday, according to inside sourc...

James Comey instructed the FBI to infiltrate 2016 Trump campaign with ‘honeypots’: whistleblower

By Hannah Nightingale | The Post Millennial A protected whistleblower disclosure sent to the House Judiciary Committee has revealed that the FBI began targeting Donald Trump in June of 2015, shortly after he announced his presidential run, in an off-the-books investigation ordered by then-FBI Director James Comey.  The disclosure, reviewed by the Washington Times, stated that two undercover FBI agents were directed to act as "honeypots" and infiltrated the high levels of Trump’s 2016 campaign. The undercover agents traveled with Trump and his campaign staff. The agent "personally knew" that Comey had ordered the investigation against Trump and that Comey had "personally directed it." The operation did not appear to target a specific crime, ...

Frederick & Cochrane: Is FBI still colluding with big tech to interfere in our elections?

By Kara Frederick  and Daniel Cochrane | Commentary, Daily Signal Four years ago this month, the FBI worked with Facebook and Twitter to suppress a New York Post story detailing the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop, just weeks before the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Today, on the eve of another contentious election, America could see a repeat of what federal District Court Judge Terry Doughty called the “most massive attack against free speech in United States’ history.” The FBI knew Hunter Biden’s laptop was authentic in November 2019. Yet, it repeatedly warned social media platforms of an impending “hack and leak operation” ahead of the 2020 election. READ THE FULL COMMENTARY AT THE DAILY SIGNAL Editor’...

Colorado ranks 8th in violent crime, 4th in property crime and auto theft

By D.J. Summers | Common Sense Institute The Federal Bureau of Investigation recently revised its national crime data to reflect latecomer reports from police agencies. In doing so, it was revealed that the national violent crime rate rose in 2023 rather than fell. CSI is presenting the FBI’s Colorado’s crime data to firmly establish the Centennial State’s trends, which remain largely unchanged as a result of the update. Crucially, crime is not just a social ill but an economic one. Previous CSI findings have highlighted the negative economic consequences of crime. In 2022, the tangible and intangible costs of Colorado’s crime totaled $4,623 per Coloradan. Key Findings Even though Colorado’s violent crime rate came down in 2023 from a peak in 2022, it is still at an elevated r...

China’s espionage machine is overwhelming the west

By Nick Pope | The Daily Caller The Chinese government is conducting espionage activities on such a broad scale that Western governments are struggling to keep Beijing’s spying in check, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday. In just the last month, the FBI said that Chinese government-linked hackers breached 260,000 internet-connected devices across the U.S. and Europe, while federal officials alleged that a former top aide to Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul was a Chinese agent and a congressional report found that Chinese-made cargo cranes at America’s ports contained technology that would allow China to control them discreetly, according to the WSJ. Western intelligence agencies are sounding the alarm and asking the public to be vigilant for possible Ch...
