[Breitbart] Numbers released by the Chicago City Government show there were nearly 2,800 shooting victims in the city from January 1, 2024, to December 30, 2024.
According to Chicago.gov, the total number of shooting victims–fatal and non-fatal combined–was 2,794 for the time frame in view.
The total breaks down to 512 fatal shooting victims and 2,282 non-fatal shooting victims.
At the time of the writing of this article, there are roughly 36 hours left in 2024, which means the total number of shooting victims could increase. But as of right now, the total is about 150 fewer than in 2023. However, “human trafficking victimizations” rose 141.7 percent in Chicago in 2024 versus where they were in 2023 and “aggravated battery victimizations” increased by 5.5 percent.
Breitbart News reported at least 100 people were shot in Chicago during the Fourth of July weekend alone. Seventeen of the shooting victims from that one weekend succumbed to their wounds.
Now compare Chicago's a Democrat run metro Demographics & Gun Violence.
Percentage of residents living in poverty in 2022: 17.2% (note: no 2023-24 data, I wonder why?)

[JustTheNews] When then-Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss sought to bring charges in D.C., Graves declined to partner with him on the case.
Matthew Graves, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia whose name surfaced in testimony by IRS whistleblowers about political interference in the Hunter Biden tax case, will resign in early January, the Department of Justice confirmed Monday.
“Serving as the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia has been the honor of a lifetime,” Graves said. “I am deeply thankful to Congresswoman Holmes Norton for recommending me; to President Biden for nominating me; and to Attorney General Garland for placing his trust in me.”
Graves featured in the testimony of whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, the IRS agents who went public about alleged political interference by Biden-appointed officials in the Hunter Biden tax probe.
When then-Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss sought to bring charges in D.C., Graves declined to partner with him on the case, according to the whistleblowers' testimony.
That declination was among the key points the whistleblowers addressed in contradicting Attorney General Merrick Garland's statements that Weiss had full authority to pursue charges against Biden.
Graves's declination prevented the investigators from pursuing charges related to the 2014 and 2015 tax years, when Biden was on the board of the Ukrainian gas firm Burisma.
[JustTheNews] "I believe the reason that he chose me to do it is because I was, you know, I saw the corruption up front and personal," he said on the "Victor Davis Hanson Show."
Trump Media and Technology Group CEO Devin Nunes this week, highlighted the importance of depoliticizing the U.S. intelligence agencies as he gears up to chair the President's Intelligence Advisory Board.
President-elect Donald Trump tapped Nunes, the former House Intelligence Committee Chairman, for the post earlier in December.
"I believe the reason that he chose me to do it is because I was, you know, I saw the corruption up front and personal," he said on the "Victor Davis Hanson Show." "And so when, when things go wrong, this board is there to have a fresh set of eyes, a fresh look into what these agencies are doing or have done."
"Yeah, so it's, I've described it Victor as something that's very similar to my role when I was chair of the House Intelligence Committee, where I effectively reported to the United States Congress, to the legislative branch of government," he went on. "Here I report directly to the to the President. So it has, it has very extensive powers, and obviously the President can increase those authorities or decrease those authorities, as he see fits. But, you know, look, I feel like he has the confidence in me that that if I see something wrong, that we're going to get to the bottom of it."
Nunes further outlined what he believed to be the root cause of the intelligence community's expansion, politicization, and left-ward shift.
"I believe it's, it's pretty simple as to what's what's happened," he said. "Even though the defense and intelligence industrial complex is bigger than I think Eisenhower ever imagined it could be, and more dangerous. But there's only one word. It's been politicized, and it was politicized on purpose, and the people that live in Washington, D.C., that mostly are part of the left, but as we have found out, it's pretty easy for people who you would think are hard right, that if there livelihood is threatened, they somehow move and team up with the left i.e. the Cheney family."
"I know that the President wants to have a DOJ and FBI and DOD and CIA that America can be proud of," he insisted. "And it's, you know, it's pretty the President sees this pretty simply. And he, he actually campaigned on it. What did he campaign on? Make America safe again, it's not complicated. But in order to do that, you have to have a de-politicized intelligence agency."
[NYPOST] Three senior Justice Department officials violated internal policies and engaged in ''misconduct'' when they leaked details about a non-public investigation to the media ''days before an election,'' the agency's inspector general revealed Monday.
The DOJ's Office of the Inspector General (OIG), which has been run by Michael Horowitz since 2012, launched a probe after it received a complaint alleging that a ''politically motivated'' disclosure related to ''information about ongoing matters'' was made in the runup to an unspecified election.
''The OIG investigation found that three then Senior DOJ Officials violated DOJ's Confidentiality and Media Contacts Policy by leaking to select news hounds, days before an election, non-public DOJ investigative information regarding ongoing DOJ investigative matters, resulting in the publication of two news articles that included the non-public DOJ investigative information,'' the DOJ OIG said in a brief investigative summary.
''The OIG investigation also found that one of these three then Senior DOJ Officials violated the Confidentiality and Media Contacts Policy and DOJ's Social Media Policy by reposting through a DOJ social media account links to the news articles,'' the summary continued.
The three officials were no longer DOJ employees when the investigation began and declined or did not respond to interview requests, according to the OIG, which does not have the authority to compel testimony from former employees.
''The OIG has completed its investigation and provided its report to the Office of the Deputy Attorney General and, because the report contained misconduct findings against attorneys, provided its report to the Professional Misconduct Review Unit for appropriate action,'' Horowitz's office said, adding that a report was also provided to the US Office of Special Counsel for potential Hatch Act violations to be investigated.
It's unclear what investigation the former DOJ employees are accused of leaking to media outlets.
In September, Sen. Chuck Grassley also wrote a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray that was also forwarded to Horowitz, accusing the DOJ and FBI of ''leaking material and information to the media'' about an ultimately closed probe into President-elect Donald Trump ...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election.

Shouldn't they face fines and/or jail time, Or at the least a permanent BAN from any Court/Legal System or Government employment?

Our unelected minions in almost all agencies are out of control. Releasing info like that was intended to change or affect an election, treason and certainly lines with RICO, if you can charge a government official with RICO>

... if you can charge a government official with RICO
It depends on the difference between "organized crime" and "government", which is to say, what the meaning of "is" is.

I would take the all the IGs, make them a Department, give them a building near Leavenworth and add ample prosecutors. All their cases would be tried in Kansas. I would then impeach every judge in the DC circuit, give mandatory immediate retirement to any judge who makes it through the gauntlet, and replace none of them.

Leavenworth is pretty Blue. Cottonwood Falls would be a better place, or Beloit, or Medicine Lodge which already has a stockade. Not Wichita or Topeka which are controlled by the NEA.
