Lawfare

Blurb:

The lack of self-awareness has got to be intentional at this point.

According to New York Attorney General Letitia James, she has become the victim of “a justice system which has been weaponized.” And that’s funny because I don’t recall her ever having a problem about a weaponized justice system when she was the one weaponizing it.

James ran on the promise of going after Trump. So, it’s astonishing that she is now out there claiming that the DOJ “has been used as a tool of revenge.”

Earlier this month, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) disclosed that special counsel Jack Smith tracked the communications of eight Republican senators (and one congressman) as part of his Arctic Frost investigation into President Donald Trump’s actions after the 2020 presidential election.

The group included Sens. Marsha Blackburn (TN), Lindsey Graham (SC), Bill Hagerty (TN), Josh Hawley (MO), Ron Johnson (WI), Cynthia Lummis (WY), Dan Sullivan (AK), Tommy Tuberville (AL) and Rep. Mike Kelly (PA).

Blurb:

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith is defending his decision to subpoena the private phone records of multiple Republican lawmakers during his 2023 “investigation” into President Donald Trump, insisting the move was “entirely proper” and consistent with Justice Department policy.

In a letter sent to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on Tuesday, Smith’s attorneys claimed the records were “narrowly tailored” and “carefully targeted” as part of the FBI’s “Arctic Frost” probe into what prosecutors alleged was Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election.

“As described by various Senators, the toll data collection was narrowly tailored and limited to the four days from January 4, 2021, to January 7, 2021,” Smith’s lawyers wrote.

A judge has temporarily blocked the transfer of the land for use for the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library after a suit claimed not enough notice was given before the meeting in which the board voted to transfer it.

A legal battle is unfolding in Miami over the future of the Donald J. Trump Presidential Library, after an 85-year-old retired professor filed a lawsuit that temporarily halted the transfer of a prime piece of downtown real estate intended for the project.

A federal judge once accused of waging war on Trump-era policies has been tapped to oversee former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s high-profile criminal case — and conservatives are furious.

Judge Theodore D. Chuang, appointed by Barack Obama, has a long record of rulings that rubbed conservatives the wrong way. Now, he’s been assigned to the Bolton case, where the former national security chief faces 18 total counts for allegedly mishandling classified information through a personal email account potentially compromised by foreign hackers.

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) blasted the move on X, calling out Chuang’s political history and left-leaning track record.

Blurb:

The time for accountability is already here for James Comey and John Bolton.

And now, former CIA Director John Brennan may be the next one to face Judgement Day…

Brennan has just been criminally referred to the Department of Justice.

Here are the details:

BREAKING: Former CIA Director John Brennan has officially been referred to the DOJ for criminal prosecution for lying to Congress:

“We write to refer significant evidence that former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) John Brennan knowingly made false statements during his transcribed interview before the Committee on the Judiciary on May 11, 2023.’ While testifying, Brennan made numerous willfully and intentionally false statements of material fact contradicted by the record established by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI) and the CIA.”

Blurb:

Federal prosecutors are now signaling they may remove James Comey’s attorney Patrick Fitzgerald as his lead counsel because of his involvement in the former FBI Director’s leaks of classified information to the media through Daniel Richman.

A grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia indicted former FBI Director James Comey last month. He was indicted on two counts – false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.

If convicted, James Comey is facing up to five years in prison.

Comey’s case was assigned to US District Judge Michael Nachmanoff, a Biden appointee.

Blurb:

Former FBI Director James Comey, whose visceral hatred of President Donald Trump remains palpable, now has the unmitigated gall to ask a federal judge to dismiss the Justice Department’s case against him because of, as his legal team claims, “vindictiveness” and Trump’s “personal animus” against him.

Comey was indicted on September 25 on charges of making a false statement and obstruction of Congress. Specifically, the charges are for allegedly lying to Congress during a 2020 Senate hearing focused on the FBI’s investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign’s contacts with Russia.

Pretty rich, huh? Comey’s personal animus against Trump is legendary. During his legal pursuit of the president, the disgraced former FBI head took lawfare to a whole new level.

Blurb:

A grand jury indicted former FBI Director James Comey in September on charges of making false statements to Congress and obstructing a congressional proceeding. Comey pleaded not guilty on October 8.

Comey’s legal troubles are just beginning, however, as federal prosecutors are seeking to remove Comey defense attorney Patrick Fitzgerald from his case, citing a conflict of interest.

 

Blurb:

Former national security adviser John Bolton’s indictment shows he is charged with 18 criminal counts, including eight counts of transmitting national defense information and 10 counts of retaining national defense information.

The indictment also claims that after Bolton was hacked by a “cyber actor” linked to Iran, he failed to reveal what kinds of classified information he had been sending through the hacked account.

The indictment alleges that “from on or about April 9, 2018, through at least on or about August 22, 2025, BOLTON abused his position as National Security Advisor by sharing more than a thousand pages of information about his day-to-day activities as the National Security Advisor-including information relating to the national defense which was classified up to the TOP SECRET/SCI level-with two unauthorized individuals, namely Individuals 1 and 2.”

Cook County Circuit Chief Judge Timothy Evans has issued an administrative decree that effectively bars ICE and Border Patrol agents from making civil immigration arrests at or near county courthouses, even as aliens appear for hearings.

The edict, signed late Tuesday night and going into effect Wednesday, proclaims that “no person attending or returning from a court proceeding shall be subject to a civil arrest” unless there is a judicial warrant or order.

The order explicitly limits it to civil immigration arrests. The order also includes the walkways, entryways, driveways, and parking lots contiguous to courthouses. “The fair administration of justice requires that courts remain open and accessible, and that litigants and witnesses may appear without fear of civil arrest,” the order states.

New York Attorney General Letitia James has been harboring a fugitive from justice in the Norfolk, Virginia house at the center of her federal indictment, the Daily Mail reported Monday.

Letitia James’s niece, Shamice Thompson-Hairston, has two daughters who live in separate properties owned by James in Norfolk. Both have significant criminal histories.

Jack Smith, Andrew Weissmann

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith spoke out for the first time about his politically motivated investigations into President Trump during a sit-down conversation with dirty prosecutor Andrew Weissmann at the University of London.

Andrew Weissmann ran Robert Mueller’s Trump-Russia witch hunt, and many believe he was involved in other cases against Trump.

Blurb:

Evidence undergirding the federal government’s case against New York Attorney General Letitia James has finally been made public, and the results are disastrous for the anti-Trump Democrat.

James, 66, faces 60 years in prison if found guilty of falsifying documents submitted to mortgage authorities when she purchased a Virginia homestead in 2020. The acquisition came with a “second home rider” that stipulated she would use the home as her primary residence.

That never occurred, however, and other media reports have suggested that James may have been harboring a fugitive and family member at the second house instead.

Blurb:

Former FBI Director James Comey’s defense team wants to kill the Trump administration’s case before it goes to trial, but legal experts say their chances of success are slim.

Comey’s attorney Patrick Fitzgerald indicated Wednesday that the defense intends to file motions alleging vindictive and selective prosecution “at the direction of President [Donald] Trump,” as well as challenging the appointment of the prosecutor who brought the indictment, Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan.

If Halligan had not indicted Comey on Sept. 25, the statute of limitations would have expired within days, making it crucial for the government to prevail on a motion to dismiss. However, legal experts told the Daily Caller News Foundation the two motions Comey hopes to file will be difficult to prove.

Since returning to office, President Trump has faced an onslaught of leftist-backed lawfare seeking to grind the implementation of his voters’ agenda to a halt. Unsurprisingly, many of these lawsuits have been filed in districts predominated by Democrat-appointed judges, who have been more than happy to issue a myriad of preliminary injunctions and temporary restraining orders blocking enforcement of the administration’s policies.

Now, with the U.S. Supreme Court largely agreeing to shut down this lower court judicial coup for the time being, a number of rogue judges have taken to anonymously attacking the high court for stopping the crisis they helped create.

ALEXANDRIA, Virginia — Former FBI Director James Comey pleaded not guilty Wednesday morning to charges of making false statements and obstructing a 2020 congressional proceeding, as prosecutors signaled the case would introduce classified information in the discovery phase of legal proceedings.

The prosecution, led by U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, argued this was a complicated case and pushed for more time before bringing it to trial. U.S. District Judge Michael Nachmanoff raised skepticism about how complicated the two-charge indictment is, but he eventually agreed that a preliminary date for when the trial could begin is Jan. 5.

The government requested that a trial take place outside the “speedy trial window” in part because there is a large amount of discovery in the case, including classified materials, which were not previously discussed before the arraignment.

Blurb:

Former Federal Bureau of Investigation Director James Comey pleaded not guilty Wednesday to the two criminal charges he faces for allegedly lying to Congress.

Comey was indicted Sept. 25 for making a false statement and obstruction of a congressional proceeding. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

But in his arraignment Wednesday, Comey pleaded not guilty to both charges and requested a jury trial, which has been scheduled for Jan. 5, 2026. The government says it expects the trial to take 2-3 days.

Comey is represented by former federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, who is known for being the first to bring charges against Osama bin Laden in 1996.

The charges against Comey concern his 2020 testimony before Congress on the investigation into alleged Trump-Russia collusion in the 2016 election. Comey briefly headed that investigation during his tenure as FBI director before President Donald Trump fired him in May 2017.

Blurb:

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has vowed to take legal action against anyone in the federal government allegedly involved in monitoring his private phone records during Special Counsel Jack Smith’s “investigation” into Jan. 6.

The senator’s fiery remarks followed bombshell reports revealing that Smith and his team, as part of their so-called “Arctic Frost” investigation, allegedly tracked phone calls from multiple Republican lawmakers well after the events of Jan. 6, 2021.

‘Abuse Of Power’

Tuesday night on Fox News’s “Hannity,” Graham called the alleged surveillance an outrageous violation of his rights.

“If he [Trump] had never announced he was going to run for president, none of this would have happened,” Graham said.

“They were trying to destroy his comeback.

“This was all orchestrated by Jack Smith, Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, Letitia James to destroy this man so he could not win in 2024.

“I’ve seen this movie before.

Excerpt:

An FBI document obtained by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) shows that the FBI, under Joe Biden, spied on 8 Republican senators as part of its Arctic Frost investigation.

Grassley said the 2023 investigation, which formed the basis of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s elector case against President Trump, targeted 8 GOP Senators’ personal cell phones for “tolling data” tracking their use between January 4 and January 7, 2021.

According to a press release from the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary, the FBI targeted 8 GOP Senators, including Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN), Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK),  Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) and Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) as well as Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA).

Excerpt:

The Biden FBI targeted eight Republican senators’ personal cell phone information as part of an investigation that evolved into lawfare against Donald Trump, new records published Monday show.

The agency document released by Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, indicates that the FBI sought and obtained the cell phone “tolling data” of eight GOP senators and Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Penn., as part of its “Arctic Frost” inquiry in 2023. That investigation ultimately became Special Counsel Jack Smith‘s elector lawfare against Trump.

According to a Senate Judiciary Committee press release, the FBI obtained the data “about the senators’ phone use from January 4 through January 7, 2021.” The information, the presser noted, “shows when and to whom a call is made, as well as the duration and general location data of the call,” but “does not include the content of the call.”

The eight Senate Republicans targeted in the probe include Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Bill Hagerty and Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, and Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming.

“Based on the evidence to-date, Arctic Frost and related weaponization by federal law enforcement under Biden was arguably worse than Watergate,” Grassley said in a statement. “What I’ve uncovered today is disturbing and outrageous political conduct by the Biden FBI. The FBI’s actions were an unconstitutional breach, and Attorney General Bondi and Director Patel need to hold accountable those involved in this serious wrongdoing.”

EXCLUSIVE: Former Special Counsel Jack Smith was allegedly tracking the private communications and phone calls of nearly a dozen Republican Senators as part of his investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots, Fox News Digital has learned.

A document, reviewed by Fox News Digital, revealed that Smith and his “Arctic Frost” team investigating Jan. 6 were allegedly tracking the phone calls of GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and GOP Rep. Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania.

The document, recently discovered by FBI Director Kash Patel and exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, is titled “CAST Assistance” and dated Sept. 27, 2023. “CAST” refers to the FBI’s cellular analysis survey team.

Excerpt:

Joe Biden’s FBI – and later Jack Smith – spied on eight Republican Senators during the ‘Arctic Frost’ investigation into January 6.

Republican Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson earlier this year released new records detailing the FBI and DOJ’s sweeping investigation that formed the basis of Jack Smith’s DC case against President Trump.

Grassley and Johnson previously blew the lid off another sham investigation orchestrated by Biden’s corrupt Department of Justice and compromised FBI. According to the documents released earlier this year, the FBI and DOJ weaponized their power to target President Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, and their allies through a probe dubbed “Arctic Frost.”

“Operation Arctic Frost” was a taxpayer-funded witch hunt launched in April 2022 that seized government-issued cell phones belonging to Trump and Pence while conducting a barrage of interviews across the country.

Now this… Jack Smith tracked private phone calls of eight GOP Senators.
