Under fire Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth may have just blown up his own ship, with the disclosure of a 2016 video in which he agreed that certain war crimes need to be prosecuted (presumably like ordering defenseless ship wrecked men with their back turned not to be hit with missiles during wartime), and that soldiers have an obligation NOT to follow illegal commands of the commander in chief!. The...

Michael Popok spots something peculiar in a new filing by Epstein's co-conspirator in child sex trafficking, Ghislaine Maxwell, as her current attorney informs a federal judge that she is going to try to file another petition to get released from federal prison, but ON HER OWN, and not with an attorney!.

Trump has officially lost it, bragging about passing “cognitive tests” that masquerade as dementia ones, while going on racist rants, interspersed with sexists ones, and then finally admitting that “affordability” in Trump America is a “con job!” When bored, he throws Administration officials like Kristie Noem, Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel under the bus. And now federal appellate courts are firing...

Two novice prosecutors, one named Lindsey Halligan were roasted alive by a federal judge, as one had to admit that the James Comey Indictment was fraudulently obtained from the grand jury, and the other had to admit the existence of a secret memo that the DOJ doesn't want the judge or defense to read, that will create "reasonable doubt" in the jury's mind about Comey's fake crimes.

Don't believe a word Trump posts on social media. He has no intention of actually having the Epstein Files see the light of day. Sure he gave permission to House Republicans to save themselves to vote for their release today on Capitol Hill, but the Senate will slow the bill down long enough for AG Pam Bondi to stand at a podium and announce that there is an "active" criminal investigation against...

Fresh off the heals of a Federal Magistrate Judge finding prosecutorial abuse of power in the Former FBI Dir. Comey case in the grand jury and subpoena process, NY AG Tish James has filed within hours of that ruling, her own Motion to Dismiss the indictment citing primarily the "outrageous" abusive conduct of Trump, Bondi, Lindsey Halligan, Ed Martin and Fannie Mae's Director Bill Pulte.
