In what can be seen as a major development turns out that 20 CIA and FBI agents have come forward with allegations that former President Barack Obama and former CIA Director John Brennan orchestrated a massive deception involving the Russia investigation. The whistle blowers claim that intelligence was manipulated to falsely suggest Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. They assert that the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) released in January 2017 was based on unreliable sources, including the discredited Steele dossier.
The agents further allege that Brennan and other senior officials suppressed dissenting views that contradicted the narrative of Russian interference to benefit Donald Trump. Documents declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard have supported these claims, suggesting a coordinated effort to undermine Trump’s presidency.
In response, Attorney General Pam Bondi has formed a “strike force” to investigate the allegations of misconduct by Obama-era officials.
Republican lawmakers are calling for the appointment of a special counsel to further investigate the matter.
However, legal experts have pointed out that prosecuting former presidents presents significant constitutional challenges.
These revelations have reignited partisan debates over the origins of the Russia investigation and the handling of its intelligence.
As the investigation moves forward, the impact on public trust in the intelligence community and the political landscape remains uncertain.
Presidential immunity doesn’t cover breaking criminal actions and conspiracy to commit sedition would not be covered by immunity also the conspiracy charge would possibly negate the statute of limitations so this could become very interesting if the DOJ see's a way to arrest and prosecute OBAMA. Should they prosecute a former President? Why not they lied, and did it to TRUMP... So go for it. Nobody is above the law. Remember?
The X CIA officer Susan Miller denies that there was a OBAMA lead sabotage of Trump in 2016. Cause a person set in place by the Clinton's who worked with the OBAMA, Biden white house & was around during the 2015-2016 her input is voided as SHE is a liberal.
This is her background, having worked for news organizations like ABC, CNN + Fox News. Also remember she held various high-level positions within the CIA, including leading the team that assessed Russian interference in the 2016 election. She was involved & helped OBAMA!
The trial of American king of the freak off parties and once mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, who was accused of running a sprawling sex trafficking operation, has ended with two guilty verdicts and an acquittal on three others. The rapper was convicted on two counts of transportation for prostitution of his ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura, and another woman known as "Jane" who had testified in the trial. He was found not guilty of the most serious charge of racketeering conspiracy, as well as two charges of sex trafficking in relation to Ms Ventura and "Jane".
Sean Combs also known as "The Diddler", 55, had pleaded not guilty and denied all allegations against him. But I mean to quote "Joe Biden" "Come on man!" Here is a breakdown of the charges faced by the rapper and how the jury came to its decision. Racketeering conspiracy, or directing an illegal enterprise under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (Rico), is the formal name for the charge. The law was created to take on mob bosses, but it has since been used in other trials, including for sex trafficking such as in the case against disgraced R&B singer R Kelly. It is also sometimes used against a group of defendants. To me this was the hardest of the charges for the prosecution to prove without more people charged.
The Diddler has also gone by the names Puffy, Puff Daddy, P Diddy, Love, and Brother Love emerged in the hip-hop scene in the 1990s. His early music career success included helping launch the careers of Mary J Blige and Christopher Wallace aka Biggie Smalls, or The Notorious B.I.G. His music label Bad Boy Records became one of the most important labels in rap and expanded to include Faith Evans, Ma$e, 112, Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez. Combs also had a prolific business career outside of music, including a deal with British drinks company Diageo to promote the French vodka brand Cîroc. In 2023, he released his fifth record The Love Album: Off The Grid and earned his first solo nomination at the Grammy awards. He also was named a Global Icon at the MTV Awards.
To convict Combs on this charge, prosecutors had to prove that he used his loyal network of associates to run a criminal enterprise to commit crimes including sex trafficking, kidnapping, drugging and obstruction of justice. In this case, that network would include his employees, who prosecutors argued played a part in setting up the "freak-offs" at the center of the case. These were prolonged sexual encounters at which the prosecution's key witnesses said they were coerced to have sex with male escorts while Combs watched. In a raid on his Los Angeles mansion, police found supplies that they said were intended for use in freak-offs, including drugs and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil. Combs' acquittal on the most serious charge of racketeering will likely be seen as a big win by his legal team. His lawyers had sought to undermine the allegation by asking witnesses whether Combs' employees ever witnessed the freak-offs. Cassie Ventura, the star witness for the prosecution, said she did not think they were present.
Defence lawyers argued that the case cannot be considered to be racketeering if members of Combs' staff were not knowingly complicit. "Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me?" said defence attorney Marc Agnifilo. "Did any witness get on that witness stand and say 'yes, I was part of a racketeering enterprise, I engaged in racketeering'?" Robert Mintz, a criminal defence lawyer and former federal prosecutor, told the BBC that the racketeering charge was always going to be the most challenging one for prosecutors to prove to a jury. To gain a conviction, lawyers needed to prove that Combs established a co-ordinated plan between himself and at least one other person to commit at least two crimes over a span of several years, Mr Mintz said. "It's a very complicated charge, used typically in the past in organized crime prosecution," Mr Mintz said, adding it is unsurprising that this charge gave the jury the most difficulty.
Combs was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution relating to Ms Ventura and an anonymous victim known as "Jane". In simple terms, it means the jury found Combs guilty of transporting the two women to places where they would participate in sex acts and prostitution. The felony dates back to the Mann Act, which was enacted in 1910.
The Mann Act is a US federal law that was passed to combat human trafficking and sexual exploitation of women. Initially referred to as the "White-Slave Traffic Act", the more than 100-year-old law prohibits the transportation of individuals across state lines for illegal sex acts or prostitution. Both Ms Ventura and "Jane", who had dated the rapper, separately testified about "freak-offs" or "hotel nights". They described these as sexual encounters in which the couple would hire male escorts to have sex with the female partner while Combs watched, at times recording or directing them. In its early days, the Mann Act was used by federal prosecutors as a way to criminalize some forms of consensual activity, including interracial relationships. Combs' lawyers referenced that history in an unsuccessful attempt to get one of the charges against the rapper dismissed, arguing that he was being unfairly persecuted because of his race.
Transportation for purposes of prostitution the charge that Combs was convicted of carries a maximum sentence of 10 years. And Combs was convicted on two counts. After the verdict, his lawyer Marc Agnifilo immediately asked for his client to be released from federal detention until his sentencing hearing, and suggested a $1m bail. But a judge denied that request and said the hip-hop mogul will remain in jail until he is sentenced.
Prosecutor Maurene Comey has said she will push for the full 20 years - a decade for each conviction. "It is clear that the defendant does pose a danger," she said. Combs has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, since his arrest on 16 September 2024. Critics describe the prison as overcrowded and understaffed, with a culture of violence. His lawyers argued for his release in 2024, citing the jail’s “horrific” conditions, but a New York federal judge denied the bail request, describing Combs as a “serious flight risk”.
Judge Arun Subramanian proposed 3 October as a sentencing date for Combs, but the defence asked for an expedited schedule. The lawyers will meet again on 8 July to further discuss the schedule. The judge said Combs would get 10 months credit for time served. While the rapper faces a maximum sentence of 10 years on each count, it will be up to the judge to decide the length of time he will ultimately serve.
Separately, Combs faces a number of lawsuits accusing him of rape and assault. Tony Buzbee, a Texas lawyer handling some of these cases, said that more than 100 women and men from across the US had either filed lawsuits against the rap mogul or intended to do so. In December 2023, a woman known in court papers as Jane Doe alleged that she was "gang raped" by Combs and others in 2003, when she was 17. She said she was given "copious amounts of drugs and alcohol" before the attack. Combs's legal team dismissed the flurry of lawsuits as "clear attempts to garner publicity".
Diddy's current legal issues began in late 2023 when he was sued by Ms Ventura, also known as Cassie, for violent abuse and rape. That lawsuit was settled for an undisclosed amount a day after it was filed, with Combs maintaining his innocence. Since then, dozens of other people have filed lawsuits accusing Combs of sexual assault, with accusations dating back to 1991. He denies all the claims. His controversial history with Ms Ventura resurfaced in 2024, when CNN published leaked CCTV footage from 2016 showing Combs kicking his ex-girlfriend as she lay on a hotel hallway floor. He apologised for his behaviour, saying: "I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I was disgusted then when I did it. I'm disgusted now."
How were the New York jurors selected?
Dozens of potential jurors were vetted by the court. The process included potential jurors looking through a long list of places and people that could be mentioned during trial, with names like Kanye West and Kid Cudi. Potential jurors also had to fill out questionnaires that asked whether they had "views about hip hop artists" or "feelings concerning violence, sexual assault". The judge reminded the court several times of the importance of choosing a fair and impartial jury.
Remember the saying friends "Nobody is Above the LAW" and so yes it's about time that Big Booty Willis understood this as these are the very words they love throwing around on these fake charges against Donald Trump but finally the court Found Fani GUILTY and we just found out she now must PAY a major fine for Withholding Evidence. She must pay according to the Judge who is handling her case against her! See Fani Willis was ordered to pay $54K in attorneys' fees. This for her behavior and violating open records law.
Nobody is Above the Law Fani, and so while Fulton County District Attorney Fati Willis keeps going to black churches to argue her name and how people mock her cus she named like a fat ass, and looks like one all she wants. I mean we all like to call her Fat Fani "Whatcha Talking About" Willis cause it's fun! So when the very center of a dispute around the failure of Willis' takes place and we mock her she uses her race to try and sell to the local black church goers like they can help her some how! LOL So her office for the failure to provide records requested by defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant, who represents Michael Roman (The former campaign and White House aide to President Donald Trump.) now Willis will pay! Hope she has enough money in her piggy bank at home to cover that since she don't put her money in banks as she says...
Michael Roman was indicted alongside Trump in the Georgia election interference case, which was brought by Willis in 2023 and currently remains in limbo. Friday's ruling marks another setback for Willis and her case against out 45th & 47th President Donald Trump. This last December 2024, Willis was disqualified from prosecuting the case against Trump and 18 other co-defendants, accusing them of engaging in a conspiracy to overturn Joe Biden's victory in Georgia in 2020. Trump has denied the accusations and accused Willis of mounting a politically motivated attack.
According to the Georgia Court of Appeals, the disqualification was necessary due to the "appearance of impropriety" created by Willis' past relationship with Nathan Wade, a former special prosecutor on the case. He was forced to resign from the case in October. Willis filed an appeal with the Georgia Supreme Court in January, arguing that the court was wrong to disqualify her "based solely upon an appearance of impropriety and absent a finding of an actual conflict of interest or forensic misconduct."
In the court order issued on Friday, the judge found that Willis' office had been "openly hostile" to Merchant's requests for documents, and that they were "handled differently than other requests." The judge added that this indicated a "lack of good faith." Willis now has 30 days to hand over all the requested records and pay $54,264 to Merchant, based on nearly 80 hours of work on the case, according to the order. Merchant previously accused Willis' office of withholding key documents regarding the employment of Wade. She also sought records on how Willis' office allocated public funds. In response, Willis' office accused Merchant Law Firm of attempting to "undermine" the prosecution. Separately, the Georgia Senate passed a bill in early March that could allow Trump and his co-defendants to seek reimbursement for their legal expenses.
The legislation, approved unanimously, permits counties to cover attorneys' fees and other legal costs in cases where a district attorney is disqualified due to misconduct, provided the case is dismissed.
Responding to the court order Friday, attorney Ashleigh Merchant wrote on X: "Proud that we have judges willing to hold people in power accountable when they ignore the law!!!" District Attorney Fani Willis wrote in her January appeal: "No Georgia court has ever disqualified a district attorney for the mere appearance of impropriety without the existence of an actual conflict of interest." So what will happen Next you ask? Well according to court documents, Willis now has one month to pay the $54,264 to Merchant.
Willis must also hand over all relevant records within the same 30-day time period. The future of the case, including whether Georgia's Supreme Court will uphold Willis' disqualification, still remains in limbo. Which is odd to me since it's now known the President while in office has total immunity over things like this, and TRUMP who was in office and constitionally has every right to ask for a re-count which is all he did should be exonerated of all these stupid charges.
A homicide investigation is underway after a reporter for the platform InfoWars was shot dead outside his apartment in Austin which as you can imagine has kicked off a lot of conspiracy theories online about the killing itself. But the police said on Wednesday they believed that the reporter "Jamie White", was the victim of a random attack. As a matter-of-fact update that did not address the conspiracy theories swirling in right-wing media, Austin police said that Mr. White, 36, was trying to thwart his vehicle from being stolen outside his apartment complex on Sunday night when someone shot him and fled. Mr. White later died at the hospital.
When asked about the conspiracy theories, Jason Jones, the Police Department’s lead homicide investigator on the case replied, “We will follow the leads that develop in this case.” That has not stopped Infowars’ founder, Alex Jones, from doing what he has long done give us his point of view on what he knows from his being connected to this situation we can't expect anything less.
Alex took to the air with speculation about Mr. White’s death and The killing “could’ve been a hit,” Mr. Jones said Tuesday in a YouTube interview with conservative commentator Benny Johnson. Also one of our favorites on the network by the way! Anyway Jones added “What are the chances in a town of over two million people that an Infowars lead reporter gets butchered?” Mr. Jones also claimed that Mr. White and Elon Musk were both on a hit list that originated in Ukraine and has asked the Justice Department to get involved.
Before his death, Mr. White himself posted on social media last June that he was on a “Ukrainian ‘Enemies List,’” and claimed that it was tied to the State Department, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Central Intelligence Agency and the liberal financier George Soros. “I think Pam Bondi should look into it,” Mr. Jones said, referring to the U.S. attorney general. “The Austin Police Department admitted they’re totally overwhelmed. They said they can’t really respond to most crime scenes.” During a news briefing on Wednesday, Detective Jones, the homicide investigator (no relation to Alex Jones the Infowars founder) asked for the public’s assistance to find the culprits.
“Today, we are asking for anyone with information about Mr. White’s murder to call the Police Department,” he said. Alex Jones broke news of the tragedy on Monday on air, and in a statement blamed Mr. White’s killing “in part” on the policies of Travis County’s district attorney, José Garza, a Democrat. Mr. Garza was re-elected in November despite conservative criticism that he had been soft on crime. In a statement, the district attorney’s office called Mr. Jones’s allegations “shameful, but not surprising that Alex Jones is trying to exploit the victims’ death for political gain.” The statement went on: “However, we will not let Jones distract us from our work in seeking justice for Mr. White and supporting the Austin Police Department in its investigation.” According to Detective Jones, officers responded to a call of a shooting at around 11:56 p.m. Sunday at a parking lot outside the victim’s apartment complex in a southeast neighborhood of Austin.
A preliminary investigation revealed that Mr. White had tried to stop an unspecified number of people from breaking into his Kia and was shot, the police said. When officers arrived, they found Mr. White, “lying on the ground in the parking lot with apparent trauma to his body,” Detective Jones said. The perpetrators fled the scene, the police said. Mr. White was taken to a nearby hospital where he succumbed to his injuries about half an hour later. One of the car windows was broken, and the police found blood inside the vehicle. They said it very likely belonged to some of the perpetrators who appeared to have been cut by the glass.
The police believe Mr. White’s attackers have been targeting Kia vehicles across Austin. “The suspects were in the process of breaking into multiple vehicles that night, including the vehicle of our victim,” a spokeswoman, Lisa Cortinas, said in an email. Investigators said they recovered a stolen vehicle that was very likely taken by the same people.
“They have no regard for human life,” Detective Jones said of the perpetrators on Wednesday. Homicide rates have been stubbornly high in Austin, the capital of Texas and one of the fastest-growing cities in America, in recent years. But at the news conference on Wednesday, Detective Jones said that murders were down 30 percent this year from the same period a year ago. Alex Jones said his team became concerned when Mr. White didn’t report to work on time Monday morning.
“We sent some people over this morning when he didn’t answer the phone, because he’s always here early and early,” he said on his own show. Mr. White had written about a variety of subjects for Infowars, including reporting on Secret Service officers shooting an armed man near the White House, and on the cost-cutting efforts by Mr. Musk, who is leading the new Department of Government Efficiency.
YES You read it right according to the one and only Anna Paulina Luna will be leading a House task force on declassification of some our country's biggest hidden secrets and biggest conspiracy theorists are going to enjoy this. To me the citizens of this country as you know have become increasingly concerned about the lack of transparency and disclosure on issues pertaining to Non-Human Intelligence (NHI), Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), and Unidentified Submersible Objects (USO). For decades the talks in many conspiracy circles have been about the embargo on the truth about what the Government knows.
With this said on Inside Tha Jackals Head myself Angel Espino as host of that show have said in the past that Trump was going to move to not just drain the swamp, end corruption and he would disclose our biggest hidden secrets including the JFK, RFK and Alien stuff. Truth is I didn't expect the release of the MLK files but those never really had the talking heads going like disclosure on these other topics. The big one being Aliens, UFO's, UAP's, USO's and so on. On my podcast this has been a main focus for over a good 14 years now that I've been on air.
It's about time we get full disclosure but like I've said before we will get what they have on paper which I don't expect that to be "Full Disclosure" as most of the stuff might not be written down as this is how secrets are kept. But they're not just going to put out what they have but there will be an investigation according to the Trump White House on this because with all the drone activity and all the sightings and reports and interest well. This is time. Also remember I said I believed Trump would be our disclosure President. Also keep in mind why I think this. Before Roswell, and after WW' 2 Nikola Tesla passed on and he was working on exotic tech which include free energy, and even a UFO like craft.
When he died Donald Trump's uncle John Trump was part of the recovery team which went to get the paper work, and belongings of Tesla who died broke, and never got the recognition alive he deserved.. Now fast forward to today and we have President Trump and Elon Musk working together. Elon Musk owns SPACE X, and "TESLA" Cars... He's also about the Smartest and richest man on the planet. Folks we're on for a great 2025 if all things fall in place how I'm expecting. Keep in mind for the most part also they don't mention USO's much but she does and this is interesting because I've long held the theory that most of these orbs, crafts, and other things "Alien" which we think are coming from deep space are actually from inside out planet deep in the ocean below and they have very intelligent beings down there who can communicate and have tech which are far more advanced than ours on top. This is why I do think this topic is so hot right now and why we need to be told not just what is coming from space but what is right under our feet deep in our oceans darkest parts.
The issue is not only a matter of being transparent and open about the subject but also the dangers we're facing in our aviation safety and again we have a global right to know whether we are truly alone in the universe. According to the National UAP Task Force, there were 144 reports of encounters between U.S. military and unidentified phenomena between 2004 and 2021, highlighting the need for more transparent investigations and communications. We believe that it is possible to confirm the existence of these phenomena without jeopardizing national security or disclosing sensitive technology. At this point I don't think that will be much of a problem as we don't wanna have people thrown in prison for keeping this secret. We just want to be told the truth and so we all can move on and build our way into Space with out space brothers, and sisters.
Good news friends RFK Jr. clears key Senate committee, moving Trump's nominee to be the nation's top health official, moved closer toward confirmation Tuesday, with the Senate Finance Committee voting along party lines to send his controversial nomination to the full Senate.
By a 14-13 vote, the committee voted to advance Kennedy, who has faced intense scrutiny over his past anti-vaccine statements and questions about how he would lead the Department of Health and Human Services. The key swing vote putting Kennedy over the edge was Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., a physician who fell in line with the Republican majority and voted for Kennedy despite raising reservations about Kennedy's position on vaccines.
Cassidy, who is up for reelection in 2026, announced his support shortly before the vote in a post on X, saying he had "very intense conversations" with Kennedy and The White House over the weekend. "With the serious commitments I’ve received from the administration and the opportunity to make progress on the issues we agree on like healthy foods and a pro-American agenda, I will vote yes," Cassidy said.
The vote came after Kennedy was grilled by Democrats during two days of committee hearings last week. He struggled to account for past statements he made questioning vaccines and conspiracy theories he's pushed and stumbled over questions about Medicare and Medicaid. Democrats continued on the attack saying “I simply do not trust him to oversee the CDC,” Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., “He’s unqualified, and I dare say everybody here knows it.”
Outside of Trump's Defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, Republican senators have stayed united behind the president's Cabinet picks, but Kennedy's nomination as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services has presented the biggest test yet. It's unclear whether Kennedy has the votes for passage in the Senate, but at least four Republican senators would likely have to vote against Kennedy for his nomination to fail given Republican's 53-47 majority.
Ranking member Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon said Democrats are not done trying to block Kennedy’s confirmation, despite Tuesday’s notable setback. “This fight is going to go on. And I’m going to pull out all the stops,” Wyden said, without elaborating what those stops are and acknowledging that Republicans have been reticent to alienate themselves from Trump over his Cabinet nominees.
“Obviously it is a challenging political time,” Wyden said, but, “the fight is not over. We can continue this on the floor of the Senate." Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., a polio survivor, has raised concerns over Kennedy's position on vaccines. And Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine have showed a willingness to buck Trump when it comes to his nominees when they voted against the Hegseth pick.
Yet even if all three were to vote against Kennedy's nomination, Vice President JD Vance would be in position to cast a tie-breaking vote, like he did with Hegseth, if at least one more Republican senator didn't also vote against Kennedy. Kennedy's fate in the Finance Committee came down to Cassidy, R-La., a physician, who had talked openly about being torn over Kennedy because of his views on vaccines.
But the vote also posed tough political considerations for Cassidy, who has already drawn a Republican primary challenger in 2026 after voting to convict Trump during the president's second impeachment in 2021. "I've been struggling with your nomination," Cassidy bluntly told Kennedy during last week's hearings. "Does a 71-year old man who spent decades criticizing vaccines and was financially vested in finding fault with vaccines, can he change his attitudes and approach now that he'll have the most important position influencing vaccine policy in the United States?"
Democrats have attacked Kennedy for a trail of controversial past statements including casting doubt about vaccines, comparing the CDC's work to "Nazi death camps," saying it "highly likely" Lyme disease was a military bioweapon and concerns about antidepressants.

“NOT A Lone Gunman” Trump Declassifies JFK Files - Was It a Mob Job?
The assassination of President John F Kennedy reverberated throughout the world as the tragic loss of a charismatic, energetic young leader. Known for his inspiring speeches and support for civil rights, his murder has spawned a library of conspiracies all about who could have benefited from it. Was it the Soviets? The CIA? The Mob?! Well, the truth may be about to come out, as Donald Trump has signed orders for the declassification of government reports on the JFK, RFK and MLK Jr assassinations. Conspiracy theorists and their detractors alike are anxious to see what these secretive files may reveal.
For an exploration of all possibilities, Piers Morgan brings together author Jefferson Morley, former capo for the Colombo crime family Michael Franzese and former CIA officer and host of 'The President's Daily Brief' Mike Baker.
When Will the Declassified JFK Files Be Released Publicly? Donald Trump has delivered on one of his campaign pledges for the conspiratorial-minded, signing an executive order on January 23 to release the remaining classified files related to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. “The continued redaction and withholding of information from records pertaining to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is not consistent with the public interest and the release of these records is long overdue,” the order reads. Trump was more succinct as he signed the order in Sharpie. “Everything will be revealed,” he said. Polls have long shown that a majority of Americans do not believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in Kennedy’s death.
Trump’s order which also requires the release of documents related to the Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr. assassinations provides a time frame and guidelines for the declassification process. But how much about the assassination is really left in the cabinets of the intelligence community? Below is everything we know about the JFK files and how we got here. The executive order demands that the attorney general and director of national intelligence “present a plan within 15 days for the full and complete release” of the JFK assassination records.
Next, they will “immediately review” the records related to the RFK and MLK Jr. assassinations and present a plan for their release within 45 days. That doesn’t necessarily mean that we will see these documents in a matter of weeks. The timeline is for the Justice Department and director of national intelligence to issue a plan. The actual process could take far longer. For one, both departments have a lot of other priorities under the new president. Plus both departments are currently being led by acting heads, as Trump’s nominees (Pam Bondi for attorney general and Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence) await Senate confirmation. Experts also say that if a total release of JFK documents is actually coming, it will take a long time for the intelligence community to complete a review process.
Larry Scnhapf, an attorney who has sued the government to release JFK files, told ABC News that “if they’re going to do a substantive [document by document] review, then it’s going to be a while before the records are released.” In 1992, after Oliver Stone’s conspiratorial JFK revived the public’s and lawmakers’ interest in the assassination, Congress passed the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act, which required the National Archives and Records Administration to collect all files related to the assassination and multiple investigations into it with a plan to release previously withheld documents in 2017.
But as the deadline loomed during Trump’s first term, the intelligence community lobbied him to stall, claiming it needed more time to complete reviews. Trump then essentially kicked the can to his successor. Biden ordered the release of 13,000 documents in 2022 before issuing a “final certification” in 2023, in which he released thousands more documents but left an estimated 4,000 withheld.
Since the JFK records act was passed in 1992, 320,000 documents have been reviewed and 99 percent of those have been released, per NARA. But the Biden administration left 2,140 documents fully or partially redacted. Another 2,500 docs were withheld for other reasons, like court-ordered seals of restrictions from individuals who donated their papers. Historians, for the most part, do not expect any bombshells from the remaining papers. But authors who study the JFK assassination expect that will not stop those who believe there were multiple gunmen from further speculation.
The Warren Commission, the FBI, and various governmental probes concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. But in 1979, the House Select Committee on Assassinations determined there was a “high probability” that two gunmen fired at JFK. “The Committee believes, on the basis of the evidence available to it, that President John F. Kennedy was probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy,” the lawmakers wrote in their findings.
Like Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. campaigned on a promise to release all files related to the assassinations of his uncle and father. Naturally, he supports his prospective boss’s decision. “I think it’s a great move because they need to have more transparency in our government and he’s keeping his promise to have the government tell the truth to the American people about everything,” Kennedy told reporters on the day the order was announced.
In a statement, Kennedy added that the decision was a step against the government secrecy that he believes has undermined the country for decades. “The 60-year strategy of lies and secrecy, disinformation, censorship, and defamation employed by Intel officials to obscure and suppress troubling facts about JFK’s assassination has provided the playbook for a series of subsequent crises the MLK and RFK assassinations, Vietnam, 9/11, the Iraq war and COVID that have each accelerated the subversion of our exemplary democracy by the Military/Medical Industrial Complex and pushed us further down the road toward totalitarianism,” he wrote in a post on X.
Trump grants sweeping pardon of Jan. 6 defendants, including rioters who some claim attacked police... Even though having seen a lot of hours of footage it was more like the police instigated the attack by the tear gas, and force used before these people were agitated by the plants that pushed people to enter the capitol. This was all part of the leftist mafia plan to make this look worse than what it was. But like promissed during his run for office again Donald Trump has pardoned, commuted the prison sentences or vowed to dismiss the cases of all of the 1,500-plus people charged with crimes in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, including people convicted of assaulting police officers, using his clemency powers on his first day back in office to undo the massive prosecution of these people who did not deserve the kind of treatment they have endured over the course of the last 3 years.
Trump’s action, just hours after his return to the White House on Monday, paves the way for the release from prison of people found guilty of violent attacks by a rigged system one we now know was helped by Nancy Pelosi, and other bad actors from within the government and police, as well as leaders of far-left extremist groups that all deserve to be convicted of election fraud during the 2020 presidential election that allowed the disaster that was the Joe Biden & Kamala Harris failed time at The White house. The pardons are a culmination of Trump’s years long campaign to rewrite the history of the Jan. 6 attack, which left the country divided as we all saw what clearly was a terrible event made worse by bad leadership of Nancy Pelosi, and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser. Both these women belong in prison. Trump also ordered the attorney general to seek the dismissal of roughly 450 cases that are pending before judges stemming from the largest investigation in Justice Department history.
Casting the rioters as “patriots” and “hostages,” Trump has claimed they were unfairly treated by the Justice Department, which also charged him with federal crimes in two cases he contends were politically motivated. Trump said the pardons will end “a grave national injustice that has been perpetrated upon the American people over the last four years” and begin “a process of national reconciliation.” The pardons were met with elation from Trump supporters and lawyers for the Jan. 6 defendants. Trump supporters gathered late Monday in the cold outside the Washington jail, where more than a dozen defendants were being held before the pardons.
“We are deeply thankful for President Trump for his actions today,” said James Lee Bright, an attorney who represented Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, who was serving an 18-year prison sentence after being convicted of seditious conspiracy and other crimes. It’s unclear how quickly the defendants may be released from prison. An attorney for Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys national chairman who was sentenced to 22 years in prison for seditious conspiracy, said he expected his client to be released from prison Monday night. “This marks a pivotal moment in our client’s life, and it symbolizes a turning point for our nation,” attorney Nayib Hassan said in a statement. “We are optimistic for the future, as we now turn the page on this chapter, embracing new possibilities and opportunities.”
Democrats slammed the move to extend the pardons to violent rioters, many of whose crimes were captured on camera and broadcast on live TV. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called it “an outrageous insult to our justice system and the heroes who suffered physical scars and emotional trauma as they protected the Capitol, the Congress and the Constitution.” “Donald Trump is ushering in a Golden Age for people that break the law and attempt to overthrow the government,” Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said in an emailed statement. Former Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone, who lost consciousness and suffered a heart attack after a rioter shocked him with a stun gun, appeared taken aback to learn from an Associated Press reporter that those who assaulted police officers are among the pardon recipients.
“This is what the American people voted for,” he said. “How do you react to something like that?” Fanone said he has spent the past four years worried about his safety and the well-being of his family. Pardoning his assailants only compounds his fears, he said. “I think they’re cowards,” he said. “Their strength was in their numbers and the mob mentality. And as individuals, they are who they are.” Trump had suggested in the weeks leading up to his return to the White House that instead of blanket pardons, he would look at the Jan. 6 defendants on a case-by-case basis. And Vice President JD Vance had said just days ago that people responsible for the violence during the Capitol riot “obviously” should not be pardoned. Fourteen defendants, including several convicted of seditious conspiracy, had their sentences commuted, while the rest of those found guilty of Jan. 6 crimes were granted “full, complete and unconditional” pardons. The pardons come weeks after the Justice Department abandoned its two federal criminal cases against Trump, citing its policy against prosecuting sitting presidents.
Had Trump lost the 2024 election, he may have ultimately stood trial on charges in the same federal courthouse in Washington in the case that had accused him of conspiring to overturn his 2020 election loss in a desperate bid to cling to power. More than 1,200 people across the U.S. had been convicted of Jan. 6 crimes over the last four years, including roughly 200 people who pleaded guilty to assaulting law enforcement. Hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants who didn’t engage in any of the violence and destruction were charged with misdemeanor trespassing offenses, and many of those served little to no time behind bars.
But the violence that day has been documented extensively through videos, testimony and other evidence seen by judges and jurors in the courthouse that its within view of the Capitol. Police were dragged into the crowd and beaten. Rioters used makeshift weapons to attack police, including flagpoles, a crutch and a hockey stick. Investigators documented a number of firearms in the crowd, along with knives, a pitchfork, a tomahawk ax, brass knuckle gloves and other weapons. Officers have described in testimony fearing for their lives as members of the mob hurled insults and obscenities at them.
Of the more than 1,500 people charged, about 250 people were convicted of crimes by a judge or a jury after a trial, while more than 1,000 others had pleaded guilty to offenses. Only two people were acquitted of all charges by judges after bench trials. No jury has fully acquitted a Capitol riot defendant. More than 1,000 rioters had been sentenced, with over 700 receiving at least some time behind bars. The rest were given some combination of probation, community service, home detention or fines.
Remember folks also that not all of the defendants who had sentences commuted were convicted of seditious conspiracy.
So we finally have an overtune of one of the biggest injustice done to a couple of real true American Patriots. Right from the J/6 capitol Pardons by Trump we now have both Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, ex-Proud Boys boss Enrique Tarrio set free. As we know President Trump granted pardons to more than 1,500 defendants who faced charges in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol event. As both lawyers on both far-right leaders confirmed their release on Tuesday. Mr Tarrio was 16 months into a 22-year prison sentence on seditious conspiracy and other charges, while Rhodes was almost 20 months into an 18-year sentence for the same offense.
“They’ve already been in jail for a long time,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office Monday evening about the clemency recipients. “These people have been destroyed.” Unlike many of the J/6 defendants, neither Tarrior or Rhodes were eve inside the Capitol Building during the event and were not even in DC! But they were charged with helping to plot out the attack. During the run-up to the riot, Rhodes and others had stockpiled tactical gear and firearms. He also stepped into restricted Capitol grounds while directing his Oath Keepers militia members as the chaos unfolded. “My only regret is that they should have brought rifles,” Rhodes said on an audio recording obtained by federal investigators. “We should have brought rifles. We could have fixed it right then and there. I’d hang f—ing [Nancy] Pelosi from the lamppost.” Something a lot of people in this country would actually cheer for.
Tarrio had led the Proud Boys, another right-wing group, from 2018 to 2021. He also worked as the Florida state director of Latinos for Trump. Prosecutors had accused Tarrio of playing a critical role in orchestrating the Proud Boys’ rampage at the Capitol, including by ordering “hand-selected members” of the group to attend the “Stop The Steal” Trump rally that preceded the event. Tarrio again was not in Washington, DC the day of the over hyped riot, but prosecutors highlighted text messages he he exchanged with members of the groups. During the Aftermath Tarrio stressed that he didn’t have sympathy for the members of Congress who were forced into hiding. He also said that he didn’t “support” or “condemn” the riot.
In addition to Monday’s clemency grants, Trump directed the Justice Department to ask for the dismissal of about 450 cases that are still being litigated... A Good start to finally ending this nightmare caused by Nancy Pelosi, the DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, the left radicals in congress, media and in Antifa & BLM.
Appeals Court Kicks Fani Willis Out on her fat ass on the Donald Trump prosecution and so this now CRUMBLES! Letitia James NEXT to Go? Finally the Georgia appeals court booted Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’s (D) office from the 2020 election interference case against President-elect Trump on Thursday due to her relationship with a top prosecutor on the case. Something which should have never been brought to court to start with but now it's just another witch haunt on Trump which went nowhere but only was done to try and hurt the election of Trump which ended up as a major fail in every way.
The panel described Willis’s relationship with ex-special prosecutor Nathan Wade as a “significant appearance of impropriety.” The court declined to outright dismiss Trump’s indictment, but disqualifying Willis’s office throws the future of the case already complicated by Trump’s impending return to the White House further into doubt. Folks in other words this case is DEAD like Fani Willis political career, and she needs to have her Barr license evoked.
“After carefully considering the trial court’s findings in its order, we conclude that it erred by failing to disqualify DA Willis and her office,” Judge E. Trenton Brown III wrote in the court’s ruling. “The remedy crafted by the trial court to prevent an ongoing appearance of impropriety did nothing to address the appearance of impropriety that existed at times when DA Willis was exercising her broad pretrial discretion about who to prosecute and what charges to bring,” it continued. The decision leaves open a theoretical possibility another prosecutor could take over the case, but the path forward remains precarious. Trump’s legal team has separately sought to dismiss all his criminal prosecutions on the grounds that he is the president-elect.
“As the Court rightfully noted, only the remedy of disqualification will suffice to restore public confidence,” Trump attorney Steve Sadow said in a statement. “This decision puts an end to a politically motivated persecution of the next President of the United States.” The Hill has requested comment from Willis’s office. Defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant, who represents one of Trump’s co-defendants and brought the initial claim against Willis and Wade, said she and her client are “thankful” the court agreed Willis should not be allowed to prosecute the case any further. Willis charged Trump and more than a dozen of his allies last summer for allegedly entering a months-long unlawful conspiracy to overturn President Biden’s 2020 victory in Georgia.
The revelation of the romance between Willis and Wade, whom the district attorney hired to spearhead the Trump prosecution, created a months-long detour in the case. After a whirlwind hearing in February that saw both prosecutors take the stand, Judge Scott McAfee, who oversees the trial proceedings, found the romance amounted to an appearance of a conflict. The judge said the prosecution could move ahead if Wade stepped aside, which he quickly did. For months, Trump and his allies have appealed that ruling to the Georgia Court of Appeals, insisting the district attorney should not be allowed to move forward. In the meantime, the trial proceedings ground to a halt.
The appeals court panel in Thursday’s ruling rejected Trump’s arguments that the romance amounted to an actual conflict agreeing it was only an appearance of one but said the judge was wrong to conclude Willis could move ahead.
“While we recognize that an appearance of impropriety generally is not enough to support disqualification, this is the rare case in which disqualification is mandated and no other remedy will suffice to restore public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings,” the appeals court wrote. Judge Ben Land dissented from the other two judges on the panel, suggesting the appeals court should defer to the trial judge’s findings instead of interfering with their discretion.
“Where, as here, a prosecutor has no actual conflict of interest and the trial court, based on the evidence presented to it, rejects the allegations of actual impropriety, we have no authority to reverse the trial court’s denial of a motion to disqualify,” Land wrote. “None. Even where there is an appearance of impropriety.” Willis could appeal the ruling to the state’s Supreme Court. But if that effort fails, the case against Trump and his allies will be handed over to the Prosecuting Attorneys Council of Georgia. It would follow the same trajectory as when Willis’s office was previously disqualified from prosecuting Georgia Lt. Gov Burt Jones (R) in the case after she fundraised for his political opponent.
More than two years later, the council declined to bring charges.
I don't know who is worse Tish James up in NY or Fani Willis in GA. Bot these women suffer deep with TDS and both seem to not be able to read the writing on the wall that their b/s lies and games are over and it's time to call it a day and move on.
They literally are breaking laws to do what they're doing to Trump and what they don't understand is when Trump is sworn in they're FUCKED! So if they're smart which they're not they would just drop it all issue an apology and WALK AWAY... But these are what we call "DUMB HOOD RATS" who were put in a position to do harm to not just Trump but the entire country and whoever they wanted to mess with.
But looks like the tide is turning as a Fulton County Superior Court has issued a default judgment against District Attorney Fani Willis for refusing to turn over records that could document her collusion with the J6 committee and Special Counsel Jack Smith.
The court order states: "By finding the Defendant in default, the Court has effectively declared that she violated the ORA [Open Records Act]. The Court further ORDERS the Defendant to conduct a thorough search of her records for responsive materials within five business days of this Order's entry."
"Within the same five-day period, the Defendant is ORDERED to provide the Plaintiff with copies of all responsive records that are not legally exempt or excepted from disclosure. If the Defendant must or chooses to withhold any portion of a requested record, she is instructed to adhere to the procedures outlined in the ORA." However, the Fulton County D.A. claims that such records don't exist, potentially putting her at legal risk of perjury and obstruction of justice.
The court makes it clear that it has substantive reason to believe Willis is withholding records: "Defendant is further ORDERED to provide an explanation why such correspondence does not exist in Defendant’s records (or why it is being withheld)."
However, if Willis does turn over the records, it could provide proof of a criminal conspiracy. Oh, the irony.
Mean while in NY this moron fat woman who thinks she's above the law AG Letitia James is still in LALA Land thinking she's going to take Trump down... She now is get this folks! She's vowing war?
New York attorney general Letitia James vows war on Trump in hostile press conference https://t.co/BKA9AMtxyj
She ran on getting Trump by any means! She's an idiot who is trying to make a criminal out of Trump with a crime that doesn't exist! She continues even tho she's lied over and over and it's been seen on video.
Both Fani and Letitia are lunatics. But my god it's amazing how these people just won't give it up. The mentality shows that they don't get it still or what's the deal? The writing is on the wall as soon as Trump is in office he will make all this junk just go away if they don't step down.
To talk about going to WAR with a President? Who the hell do these idiots think they are? They talk about not letting someone be above the law and yet they break the law, and they're all acting nonstop like they're above the law.
Don't know about you folks but Trump was wrong about one thing! I will never get tired of seeing our side win! LOL Now hear this! The Judge grants Jack Smith request to dismiss Jan. 6 charges against Trump... After the appeal was dropped in the Florida docs case Trump says lawfare against him was a 'political hijacking,' but says he 'persevered against all odds, and WON' So yes he did as now a judge has dropped again all the charges against President-elect Donald Trump in the D.C. case against him, following a request that Special Counsel Jack Smith made on Monday.
The decision concerns the investigation into the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol breach. Fox News Digital previously learned of Smith's request earlier on Monday. "The Government has moved to dismiss the Superseding Indictment without prejudice," U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan wrote in a decision. "Defendant does not oppose the Motion…and the court will grant it." Jack also filed a motion to drop his appeal in his classified records case against Trump a case that was tossed in July by federal Judge Aileen Cannon.
Jude Cannon ruled Smith was unlawfully appointed as special counsel. The moves come after Smith had already filed a motion to vacate all deadlines in the 2020 election interference case against Trump in Washington, D.C. a widely expected move, but one that stopped short of dropping the case against Trump completely. Smith had said his team planned to give an updated report on the official status of the case against Trump on Dec. 2. Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges in the case and took the fight to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing on the basis of presidential immunity. The high court ruled that Trump was immune from prosecution for official presidential acts, forcing Smith to file a new indictment. Trump pleaded not guilty to those new charges, too. Trump's attorneys have been seeking to have the election interference charges dropped in Washington, D.C., alleging that Smith was appointed unlawfully.
"The American People re-elected President Trump with an overwhelming mandate to Make America Great Again. Today’s decision by the DOJ ends the unconstitutional federal cases against President Trump, and is a major victory for the rule of law," Trump spokesman and incoming White House communications director Steven Cheung said in a statement. "The American People and President Trump want an immediate end to the political weaponization of our justice system and we look forward to uniting our country." Trump pleaded not guilty to all charges stemming from both of Smith’s investigations.
Smith is expected to resign as special counsel before Trump takes office. Trump posted to his Truth Social Monday afternoon that the cases against him "are empty and lawless and should never have been brought." "These cases, like all of the other cases I have been forced to go through, are empty and lawless, and should never have been brought. Over $100 Million Dollars of Taxpayer Dollars has been wasted in the Democrat Party’s fight against their Political Opponent, ME," Trump posted. "Nothing like this has ever happened in our Country before." Although the case will still go forward for Trump’s two co-defendants, valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos de Oliveira, the order satisfies Smith’s request to terminate an appeal in the case as it concerns Trump. In both cases, Smith cited Trump’s upcoming inauguration and Department of Justice guidelines that prohibit the prosecution of sitting presidents. Smith also moved to dismiss Trump’s election meddling case without prejudice. Smith was contesting Judge Aileen Cannon’s decision to dismiss the case in the classified materials case, which found that the special counsel had been appointed illegally.
Liberals clung to hope that the appeal would be successful, claiming that Judge Cannon’s decision counters 50 years of prior rulings regarding special counsel regulations, and the court has previously reversed one of her decisions. “Nonetheless, it brings to an end for Trump a serious case focused largely on his conduct after leaving the White House. It was potentially the stronger of Smith’s two cases after a Supreme Court ruling that determined former presidents retain broad immunity for their conduct while in office. Prosecutors brought both Espionage Act and obstruction of justice charges against Trump after he repeatedly refused requests to return White House records, including defying a subpoena,” The Hill reported.
Trump said "state Prosecutors and District Attorneys, such as Fani Willis and her lover, Nathan Wade (who had absolutely zero experience in cases such as this, but was paid MILLIONS, enough for them to take numerous trips and cruises around the globe!), Letitia James, who inappropriately, unethically, and probably illegally, campaigned on ‘GETTING TRUMP’ in order to win Political Office, and Alvin Bragg, who himself never wanted to bring this case against me, but was forced to do so by the Justice Department and the Democrat Party."

Trump reportedly has a plan in place to fire the entire team of Jack Smith, including the prosecutor himself, and investigate the results of the previous election in which he was defeated by President Joe Biden. The president-elect plans to even get rid of the career attorneys who are typically protected from political retribution, The Washington Post reported. Trump “wants to clean out ‘the bad guys, the people who went after me,’” a source close to the president-elect said. The special prosecutor’s team consists of dozens of attorneys, FBI agents, and staff who were likely assigned to the cases and did not choose to be on his team, the report said. “President Trump campaigned on firing rogue bureaucrats who have engaged in the illegal weaponization of our American justice system, and the American people can expect he will deliver on that promise,” Karoline Leavitt, the press secretary for the president-elect, said to The Post.
“House Republicans previously told Justice Department officials that anyone who had worked on the Trump cases with Smith should preserve all of their communications in a move that signaled that Smith, among others, could be targeted by congressional investigators,” the report said. “Trump also apparently plans to use the DOJ to investigate the 2020 election in which he lost to President Joe Biden but has continued to claim that his loss was due to widespread cheating. Many investigations have found no proof of the widespread voter fraud Trump and his GOP allies claimed,” it said. Smith is likely to step down from his position after ending his cases against President-elect Donald Trump, according to reports. A Justice Department source told CNN that Smith is in talks with DOJ leaders about how best to wind down the Jan. 6 case as well as an appeal of U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s ruling over the summer to throw out his classified documents case against the soon-to-be 47th president.
“Trump has threatened to fire Smith, but Smith expects to be gone before Trump takes office,” CNN reported. “The talks between Smith and DOJ leaders extend beyond Trump’s criminal cases to questions about what to do with other defendants in the classified documents case as well as the special counsel’s office and what happens to its budget and staff,” the outlet continued. Smith is required to submit a report on his work to Attorney General Merrick Garland. It remains unclear whether the timing of Smith’s departure will be affected if the report needs to be reviewed and approved by the intelligence community, according to sources familiar with the discussions, CNN said. Smith is working to finalize the report before Trump takes office, as Garland will need to approve it and decide whether any part of it will be released publicly, one source said. The New York Times was the first to report Smith’s plans to resign from his post.
As president, Trump is afforded protections against prosecution that he didn’t have as a private citizen. Longstanding Justice Department policy dictates that a sitting president cannot be prosecuted for crimes, and a Supreme Court ruling this summer confirmed that Trump has “absolute” immunity from prosecution for actions taken within his core constitutional powers as president, CNN said. Before his departure, Smith will need to determine how to resolve the two criminal cases he initiated against Trump. In Florida, Smith has appealed Cannon’s decision to dismiss the classified documents case, which found that Smith was unconstitutionally appointed as special counsel and that the funding for his office also violated the law. In Washington, D.C., Smith’s team is moving forward with the criminal case accusing Trump of orchestrating a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election following the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity, CNN noted.
US election 2024 INFO: Our own Laura Loomer the well known Right-wing activist posted that Jeff Walz, the brother of Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Tim Walz, supports Republican Presidential pick Donald Trump, and yes this news has now gone viral. As we could expect the news of Jeff Walz, the brother of Kamala Harris’s running mate Tim Walz coming out as a supporter of Republican presidential Donald Trump the online speculation about the reclusive Walz brother’s political leanings took social media by storm.
After Laura Loomer posted a photograph, purportedly of a donation slip, which she claims shows that Jeff Walz donated to Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. While the authenticity of this photograph couldn't be verified, the post has since gone viral, sparking heated debate.
Loomer’s post on X (formerly Twitter) read, "Tim Walz @GovTimWalz and @KamalaHarris are such a bad Presidential ticket that Walz's own BROTHER is supporting Donald Trump instead."
Sharing “evidence”, she continued, "According to these FEC records, Jeff Walz, the brother of VP candidate Tim Walz, donated to President Trump's presidential campaign in 2016. Jeff Walz lives in Florida. Perhaps I will go interview and ask him about his support for Donald Trump." The controversy deepened as Loomer shared more alleged details about Jeff Walz’s political stance. She claimed that on March 30, 2023, the same day Trump was indicted for business fraud, Jeff Walz referred to the US under the Biden administration as a “third world banana republic” on his Facebook page.
Loomer wrote, “Jeff Walz, the brother of Democrat Vice Presidential candidate Tim Walz, donated to President Trump’s 2016 Presidential campaign and said ‘We’ve just become a third world banana republic’ on his Facebook page... Now she’s running for President with Jeff’s brother.” In the wake of Loomer's posts, Jeff Walz made statements on Facebook distancing himself from his brother's political ideologies. In a comment, he expressed his disapproval, saying, "The stories I could tell. Not the type of character you want making decisions about your future."
NEW:
🚨🚨🚨
Tim Walz @GovTimWalz and @KamalaHarris are such a bad Presidential ticket that Walz’s own BROTHER is supporting Donald Trump instead.
According to these FEC records, Jeff Walz, the brother of VP candidate Tim Walz, donated to President Trump’s presidential… pic.twitter.com/6wEwGo6bCu
He also revealed a strained relationship with his brother, stating, "Haven't spoke to him in 8 years. I'm 100% opposed to all his ideology." Jeff Walz alleged that after Tim Walz was tapped as Kamala Harris’s running mate, his family was not informed or provided with any security. He also said he had "thought about" joining forces with Trump and publicly endorsing his re-election bid. Not much is known about Tim Walz’s brother Jeff, except that he was born in Nebraska and currently lives in Florida. The brothers have two other siblings: a sister named Sandy who lives in Alliance, Nebraska, and a brother named Craig who died in a camping accident in 2016
On the other hand, the person who put Jeff Walz in the spotlight is quite a notorious figure. A far-right internet personality and activist from Florida, Laura Loomer is known for her inflammatory rhetoric. She has previously described herself as a “proud Islamophobe,” a label that has resulted in bans from major social media platforms, though her X account was reinstated after Elon Musk took control of the platform. Loomer has a history of making incendiary comments, from calling Muslims “savages” to describing Islam as a “cancer.” She has also promoted conspiracy theories about various mass shootings. Amid these controversies, Loomer has remained a vocal supporter of Donald Trump, who has publicly praised her as “terrific” and “very special.”
In April 2023, The New York Times reported that Trump considered giving Loomer a role in his campaign, though this did not materialize. Nevertheless, she continues to be an outspoken figure within far-right circles and has attacked Kamala Harris, questioning whether she is “Black or Indian” in a racially charged critique.
OK So rumor has it that following a controversy filled campaign that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has ran and his poll numbers compared to Trump are reportedly planning to suspend their presidential bid. He is considering endorsing former President Donald Trump and reportedly hopeful that he might secure the position of Trump’s health secretary if he wins. Kennedy was an environmental lawyer known for his work cleaning up the Hudson River with a storied last name who in recent years has become known for spreading conspiracy theories about medicine, including vaccines and anti-depressants. He used the popularity he gained as an anti-vaxxer during the pandemic to briefly challenge President Joe Biden in the Democratic primary before announcing an independent bid for president in October 2023.
He had been seen as a potential spoiler for both candidates, given his connection to the Democratic Kennedy dynasty as well as his embrace of the anti-establishment and anti-vaccine views held by certain segments of the GOP. He was polling around 10 percent nationally for the better part of 2024, and even higher in some swing state polls. But he struggled to get on the ballot in many states, though his campaign maintains that he has secured enough signatures to do so in all but Kentucky, Mississippi, Rhode Island, and Wyoming. And after Vice President Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee, he seemed to hold less sway among voters who were turned off by Biden. His poll numbers consequently cratered to under 5 percent.
Despite Kennedy’s flagging national numbers, polling suggests his exit from the race could still help Trump, with whom he’s become decidedly more cozy in recent months. Trump wouldn’t have to win a lot of Kennedy’s potential voters to make a difference in key swing states; if the race is as close as it was in 2020, Trump gaining even a fraction of a percent from Kennedy could make the difference. Trump probably has the most to gain from Kennedy dropping out. Kennedy has increasingly endeared himself to Republican voters while struggling to get the same support among Democrats and independents. And polls conducted in recent months, including since Biden dropped out of the race, suggest that Trump would pick up more of Kennedy’s supporters.
Any margin would likely be small but potentially significant and his endorsement of the GOP leader Donald Trump could be the tide turning moment in this election. The Republicans tend to see Kennedy more favorably than Democrats, and those with favorable views toward him tend to have more favorable opinions of Trump than of Harris, according to a July AP-NORC poll conducted before Biden dropped out. Several national polls conducted since Harris became the presumptive nominee have also tested a race between Harris, Trump, and Kennedy, as well as a two-way race between Harris and Trump. Trump tends to get a bigger bump than Harris when Kennedy is excluded.
In an August Reuters/Ipsos poll of registered voters, for instance, Harris received 42 percent support, Trump 37 percent, and Kennedy 4 percent, while 15 percent supported another candidate, weren’t sure who they would support, or weren’t sure if they would vote at all. But when voters were pushed to select either Trump or Harris, 49 percent backed Harris and 47 percent Trump a 10 percentage point boost for Trump.
Trump had a similar edge with Kennedy voters in a July Harvard CAPS/Harris Poll. In a three-way contest, Harris earned 44 percent support, Trump 47 percent, and Kennedy 10 percent. In a head-to-head poll, Harris earned 48 percent and Trump 52 percent. It may seem like the advantage Trump gains when Kennedy is out of the picture is relatively small. But Biden won in 2020 by exceedingly narrow margins in six key battleground states; in Arizona, it was by less than 11,000 votes. On the margin, Kennedy’s supporters could make a difference, depending on where they’re distributed. In Arizona, for example, Kennedy is still polling at about 6 percent, according to The Hill’s polling average.
Of course, he might not actually win that large a vote share if he decides to stay in the race; third-party candidates tend to poll much better than they actually perform on Election Day, when their supporters are confronted with the reality that their preferred candidate won’t win. But that vote share would have been more than enough to have swung the 2020 results in the other direction.
The same is true in other swing states, where polling suggests a very tight race. An early August New York Times/Siena survey of registered voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin found Harris leading Trump 46 percent to 43 percent when respondents were given all third-party candidates to choose from. When asked to pick between just Harris and Trump, the gap tightened to 48 and 46 percent, respectively. Those states are likely to be key, given their high electoral college vote count and in most scenarios, Harris would need all three to win. Harris’s entry into the race likely limits the impact of Kennedy’s exit While RFK Jr.s supporters may still be able to make an important impact on the margins, their power to drag the Democratic nominee’s polling down seems to have diminished substantially.
Before Harris became the nominee, there was a much larger than usual number of disaffected voters who didn’t like either Biden or Trump and just wanted someone anyone as an alternative. A theoretical no-name candidate as an alternative to Biden and Trump got about 10 percent in Ipsos polling conducted earlier this year.
Kennedy provided an alternative for a while. But when Harris stepped into the POTUS 2024 picture, that undermined his appeal at least among Democrats. “There were some wavering Democratic voters who just thought Biden was too old, or they didn’t like him, and Harris is just a more appealing candidate for those kinds of people,” said Kyle Kondik, managing editor of Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics.
Kondik said it’s possible that Biden may have ended up winning back those voters anyway if he had stayed in the race and had a typical post-Democratic National Convention bump. But at this point, Kondik said, he would not be surprised if the third-party vote share in the election ends up being about 2 percent of the electorate, as it was in 2012 and 2020.
Before Harris became the nominee, political analysts were projecting that it would be closer to the nearly 6 percent share third parties got in 2016, which some analysts argued doomed Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton’s candidacy. “For all the talk about third parties in this election, a combination of the most prominent third-party candidate dropping out, in addition to the increased favor-ability of the two major party nominees, means that there’s just going to be less of a market for third party candidates,” he said.
Kennedy could make more of an impact as a surrogate for Trump. He could help the former president with certain demographics, such as young men who listen to prominent personalities such as Joe Rogan, who has praised Kennedy. But the Trump campaign might also be wary of attaching itself to Kennedy’s brand: If the brain worm and the bear incident weren’t enough, he has been disavowed by members of his own famous family and now peddles conspiracy theories not just about the Covid-19 vaccine, but his father’s killer, 5G cell phone transmission, fraud in the 2004 election, and more. “The Democratic refrain against Trump and his running mate JD Vance is that they’re ‘weird,’” Kondik said. “Kennedy doesn’t make them less weird.” This from a person who supports boys bathrooms with Tampons, Abortions until 9 months, Drag Queen reading hour with Elementary kids...
Weird? Because they're loving husband, fathers, and want to make this country the best it can be. Weird because Trump, Vance, and RFK Jr love our country and want to help our Citizens and not illegal criminals.
Yeah we should be as weird as Trump, Vance, RFK Jr... We need more weird people like that and less brain dead morons like Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Barrack & Mike Obama, Bill & The She devil known as Hillary Clinton. Oh and rest of the liberal tards in Congress, Senate and voting class.
