Jack Smith’s failed crusade: How DOJ overreach fueled Trump’s comeback

By Julie Kelly | Commentary, Declassified Substack John Lauro, the president's criminal defense attorney in the January 6 case, describes his experience with Special Counsel Jack Smith and his henchmen in response to Smith's recent publicity tour. In the summer of 2023, John Lauro—a New York-based defense attorney at the time representing Donald Trump related to the events of January 6—met the government prosecutors leading the criminal investigation into his client. For nearly two hours that day, Lauro spoke to Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team in response to Smith’s target letter notifying the former president that he may face charges for his attempts to “overturn the 2020 election.” Lauro and Todd Blanche, currently the deputy attorney general, tried to dissuade Smith...

60 Years Later: DOJ Expands Grip on Elections Under Voting Rights Banner

By Jasmyn Jordan | BREITBART On the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, under the leadership of Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, reaffirmed its commitment to enforcing federal voting laws and protecting ballot access for all Americans. In a video posted Wednesday on X, Dhillon stated the DOJ is “not just marking history” but actively “enforcing the law.” The post highlighted several current initiatives, including: Investigating violations of federal voting laws. Ensuring all 50 states maintain accurate voter rolls. Challenging efforts to suppress or dilute the vote. Suing jurisdictions where ineligible voters remain on the rolls. Reviewing redistricting plans for evidence of racial g...

Weaponized DOJ? FBI Launched ‘Grand Conspiracy’ Case Against Trump After Dropping Clinton Foundation Investigations

By John Solomon | Just the News The FBI has quietly launched an investigation into a decade of Democratic party and deep-state antics from Russia collusion to Jack Smith, opening the door for the appointment of a special prosecutor to examine whether the well-documented episodes amount to a criminal conspiracy to meddle in three U.S. elections to the benefit of Democrats and the detriment of President Donald Trump, Just the News has learned. The “grand conspiracy” case was opened several weeks ago after new FBI Director Kash Patel took over, and it could get a significant boost if Trump were to declassify two secret tranches of evidence that identify a potential ignition point to the alleged conspiracy in the summer of 2016, according to several people directly familiar with the inqu...

Garland seeks to trample Americans’ due process rights to get Trump

By Margot Cleveland | The Federalist The release of the special counsel report by the attorney general would severely prejudice the due process rights of the individuals identified in that report, a brief filed late Saturday in a Florida federal court argued. All eyes now rest on Judge Aileen Cannon’s docket to see how she responds to this weekend’s bombshell filing. The flurry of court filings began exactly one week ago when Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira filed two emergency motions to enjoin the release of the special counsel’s report. Special Counsel Jack Smith had indicted Nauta, De Oliveira, and Trump in the Southern District of Florida for alleged crimes related to Trump’s retention of classified documents.  Last year, presiding judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the charge...

Thousands of noncitizens removed from voter rolls, dozens of lawmakers want answers from Garland

 By Adam Shaw | Fox News Dozens of lawmakers in the House and Senate are calling for more information from the Justice Department about efforts to stop noncitizen voting in federal elections, which they call a "serious threat" to election integrity, citing officials in multiple states who have identified noncitizens on their voter rolls. A letter from 73 lawmakers, led by Sen. Bill Hagerty, R-Tenn., and Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., sent to Attorney General Merrick Garland said they were "deeply concerned" by reports of noncitizens registering to vote and voting in federal elections and had not received a response from an inquiry in July on the matter. "As of today, there has been no response from you or your Department regarding the inquiry on July 12, 2024, seeking information on ef...

Garland speech on DOJ impartiality met with skepticism from critics: ‘A little late’

By Ashley Oliver | Washington Examiner Attorney General Merrick Garland praised his employees on Thursday for their impartiality in the wake of his Justice Department pursuing some of the most politically fraught prosecutions in history. Garland spoke about DOJ “norms” more than a dozen times during his remarks, which he delivered to the department’s workforce during an annual conference of U.S. attorneys in Washington, D.C. “Our norms are a promise that we will not allow this department to be used as a political weapon, and our norms are a promise that we will not allow this nation to become a country where law enforcement is treated as an apparatus of politics,” Garland said.

Biden admin revives Russian election interference bogeyman just in time for November

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller President Joe Biden’s administration launched new accusations of election interference at Russia nine weeks before the 2024 election. The Department of Justice alleged Wednesday that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered several Russian companies to target Americans through the use of influencers and social media pages to spread propaganda and interfere with the election in a campaign titled “Doppelganger.” As a result of the indictment, the DOJ is charging two Russian-based employees of RT, a Russian state-controlled media outlet, with “conspiring to commit money laundering and to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act,” according to a press release.

House GOP holds AG Garland in contempt of Congress over withholding Hur’s Biden tapes

bY JORDAIN CARNEY | Politico House Republicans voted on Wednesday to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress — dramatically escalating their fight with the Justice Department. There was lingering skepticism just hours before the 216-207 vote about whether GOP leaders would be able to lock down the near unity required. Ultimately, nearly every Republican voted to take the largely symbolic step, which refers the attorney general to the DOJ for prosecution, with Democrats united in opposition. Only Ohio Rep. David Joyce voted against it on the Republican side. “As a former prosecutor, I cannot in good conscience support a resolution that would further politicize our judicial system to score political points. The American people expect Congress to work for the...
