Straight from the Sources’ Mouths?

DEVELOPING: Sources say the FBI agents and officials who were involved in the raid on former President Trump’s home work in the same CounterIntelligence Division of the FBI that investigated Trump in the Russiagate hoax and are actively under criminal investigation by Special Counsel John Durham for potentially abusing their power investigating Trump in the Russian fraud and therefore have a potential conflict of interest and should have been RECUSED from participating in this supposed “espionage” investigation at Mar-a-Lago.

“Sources”?

Then again, sometimes that’s all you can go with at the start of an exposé.

I tried to find more on this before posting to see what kind of evidence Paul Sperry has, but I don’t see anything on his landing page yet and  Twitter has seen fit to “suspend” his account.

Unlike what they do with jihadists who make online threats.

It’s foot-dragging reminiscent of the feds’ hunt for Whitey Bulger, the serial-killing brother of the most powerful Democrat politician in the state. [More]

Hey, go with what you know works…

Playing for the Cameras?

“Mark my words here: There will be a moment when President Trump is giving one of his big speeches somewhere and the FBI will storm the stage,” Starnes said. “They will arrest the president on national television and drag him away. That’s how all of this will end up.” [More]

Be funny if someone forgets to order the Secret Service detail to stand down…

Breaking News

Authorities are in a standoff with an armed suspect who tried to enter the FBI’s Cincinnati office [More]

It’s too early to assume anything. We’ll see if he fits any narrative-exploitable profile. If I had to bet I’d say he won’t. And if they do try to tie him in with heightened “anti-FBI rhetoric” by “conservatives,” there’s nothing being said that they don’t own.

We’re the Only Ones Stealing Enough

Lawsuit Uncovers the Inside Story of the FBI’s Plans to Take Security Deposit Boxes without Charging Owners with Crimes – Newly released court filing demonstrates how feds planned to take property collectively worth more than $100 million from US Private Vaults’ customers [More]

So who’s in jail over this?

Speaking of ‘Deplorable and Dangerous’

FBI Director Wray pushes back on threats following unprecedented raid on Trump [More]

Channeling his inner Hillary, is he?

Why not? He’d channeled his inner Blumenthal before he was even confirmed.

RELATED UPDATES

Be very suspicious of anything you hear in the media attributable to anonymous sources. The supposed leaks from unidentified persons supposedly with knowledge are either FBI/DOJ whispering in the ear of reporter-scribes which may or may not reflect reality, or people who don’t have actual knowledge, or sources who exist only in the imagination of the reporters. It’s all an unreliable web of deception. [More]

The best gaslighting uses coordinated narrative talking points.

Eric Trump tells DailyMail.com what REALLY happened in FBI raid: President’s son says 30 agents REFUSED to hand over warrant… [More]

At that point you notify them on camera you are calling the sheriff.

The only way to fight back is to make the kinds of people who’ve weaponized and undermined the American state suffer for their actions. They’ve arrested their enemies, revived obscure rules as pretexts for partisan attacks, and raided their opponents’ homes, and they won’t be sorry until they’ve felt the same pain. [More]

Or worse.

‘Militia Violent Extremist’ Latest in History of Smears against Constitutionalists

Demonizing gun owners who believe in the founders’ intent of the Second Amendment is nothing new for our government. I’ve been following such attempts for years. [More]

“The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.”

On Second Thought

They are looking for an excuse to indict him…..and keep him under indictment. While indicted he won’t be able to run for office. If they can get him behind bars that’s just a bonus. It’s a virtual certainty they will have “found” i.e planted evidence during this bullshit raid. The American Gestapo nee FBI will do whatever their masters in the American Communist Party tell them to do. [More]

Yeah, that was my fourth thought after I called it a day. Stealing 2020 wasn’t enough– after seeing his CPAC straw poll results and knowing people will be paying attention next time, stealing 2024 calls for pulling out all the stops. If this fails, some may be deranged enough to want that assassination Bernard Kerik is publicly speculating on, and all I can say to that is if they thought Archduke Ferdinand was a catalyst for something bigger…

What I can’t tell at this point is if this is a long-planned step or if it’s a last-ditch desperation “Hail Mary” by the Dems who know their numbers are up for November.  Trust in government is at a low and a significant portion of the country believes the last election was stolen– not just a handful of lunatics in buffalo hats egged on by assorted provocateurs.  That also explains why the Dems are so adamant about this J6 business– if legitimacy in their rule is exposed for all to see as fraudulent, they’ve seen what happens when truckers in Canada and farmers in the Netherlands are roused. They know that F-15s and nukes aside, they’re hopelessly outnumbered on the ground– which is why they want our guns.

I find it significant that, at this writing, there is nothing in the Google News feed about Mitch McConnell weighing in on this. I sense a combination of feckless Republicans not knowing how real hardball is played and some of the old guard rooting for the Swamp because they believe they’ll have a place in it.

UPDATES

We’ll probably want to check in on Donald Trump’s Truth Social page from time to time for statements.  This seems like a point to hammer on:


The FBI And DOJ Criminalizing Opposition To The Regime Is How The Republic Ends [More]

So is that a bug or a feature?

Every American should be frightened and mad as hell by such unprecedented police state thuggery tactics and there must be a complete dismantling and elimination of the FBI. This is too much for our republic to withstand,” concluded Congressman Gosar. [More]

FBI delenda est.

[Via Henry Bowman]


This is a provocation. They are trying to get a reaction that allows a further crackdown. Don’t take the bait. [More]

He’s right about deliberate provocation, but this piece feels incomplete. “Be smart” has to include more than “do nothing.”

[Via Michael G]


Remember when Trump said it would be best for armed government agents to raid you and take your property first and then “go through due process second?” [More]

Helluva thing, being hoist with your own petard.

We’re the Fauxnly Ones Politically Embarrassing Enough

Last week, U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols sentenced Carter to nine months in federal prison for the theft of public funds. [More]

So … “illegal” gun … impersonating being a fed … but he’s not a “prohibited person” after all the other charges were dropped?

Guess that wouldn’t look good on Schneider’s guncreds.

I wish I thought a FOIA would do any good here…

Just a Little Something to Take Our Minds Off Hunter Biden

Former Governor of Puerto Rico Arrested in Bribery Scheme [More]

And here’s the comedy gold:

“The Department of Justice is committed to holding accountable those who wrongly believe there is one rule of law for the powerful and another for the powerless. No one is above the rule of law.”

Is it really so wrong to wonder if she made the administration’s enemies list?

We’re the Only Ones Incentivized Enough

House Judiciary Committee: Whistleblowers Say FBI ‘Pressuring Agents’ to Reclassify Cases as Domestic Terrorism – “For example, one whistleblower explained that because agents are not finding enough DVE [domestic violent extremist] cases, they are encouraged and incentivized to reclassify cases as DVE cases even though there is minimal, circumstantial evidence to support the reclassification.” [More]

In other words, not meeting the quota is career-limiting? And do top guys get “Always Think Terrorist” Leathermans?

All on Christipher Wray’s watch. Seems some of us were just telling Don Jr. to say “Thanks!” to his Dad for that.

And some of us were sounding alarms before that.

Nothing to See Here

Agents investigating President Joe Biden’s son “opened an assessment which was used by an FBI headquarters team to improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation and caused investigative activity to cease”… [More]

So basically, “gun control” is about surrendering ours to people who systemically misdirect and lie to us in order to maintain and grow their political power, and it has nothing to do with safety or “common sense,” and anyone who is willfully deluded and believes otherwise is exactly the type of useful idiot they’re counting on?

We’re the Only Ones Uninformative Enough

Missouri sheriff says even under ‘threat of arrest’ he will not release gun owners’ info to FBI – ‘I will go down with the ship if need be,’ the sheriff says [More]

I’m sorry, but while everybody’s waving flags, my first thought is “What’s he doing with that information in the first place?”

[Via bondmen]

And This Surprises Who?

Today, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray demanding that they cease their attempts to illegally obtain information from local sheriffs on Missourians who have concealed carry permits. Missouri law specifically prohibits the sharing of information on concealed carry permit holders to any entity – local, state, federal, or otherwise. [More]

What, the Trump pick who agreed with Richard Blumenthal on guns?
