[PJ] We all remember how, in the fall of 2020, the Biden campaign scrambled to discredit the New York Post’s bombshell report on Hunter Biden’s "laptop from hell." Just days before a crucial debate, they enlisted 51 former intelligence officials to sign a letter suggesting the laptop was Russian disinformation—giving Biden the perfect excuse to dismiss the story when Trump confronted him. That letter also handed Big Tech the justification to censor the story across social media, making it one of the most brazen examples of election interference in U.S. history. "Shocking." How so ?
On his first day back in office, Trump revoked the security clearances of those 51 officials. Since then, they’ve spun excuse after excuse—including the laughable claim that they never actually called the laptop Russian disinformation. But now, a leaked email from John Brennan, one of the key signers, exposes the truth. Not only did these officials back the letter, but they did so with the explicit goal of helping Biden mislead the public. It’s a damning revelation that confirms their role in manipulating the election narrative.
On October 19, 2020, former CIA Director Mike Morell sent Brennan a copy of the letter, asking if he could add his name to the list, before explicitly stating he was "trying to give the [Biden] campaign, particularly during the debate on Thursday, a talking point to push back on Trump on this."
Brennan replied within 20 minutes, telling Morrell, "Ok, Michael, add my name to the list. Good initiative. Thanks for asking me to sign on."

The more we uncover about the Biden Regime dealings, its censorship, cover-ups, stolen $$$$$$, Bribes, and outright illegal uses of power and punishment of its political or Agenda rivals.
The more it looks like the US has had its 1st Coup attempt staged by a collection of Liberals, Socialists, Democrats, the MS and Pervert groups, But it failed after just 3+ years.
When will we see these persons and others answer for their crimes and sitting in JAIL?

Once President Trump’s people have wrested control from the Deep State, NN2N1. This is a hostile corporate takeover.
We saw in President Trump’s first round what happened when he tried to get things done without first consolidating control — not nearly enough, and most of it reversed by the Biden group. This time they’re at the Act stage of the OODA loop (having done Orient, Observe, and decide over the past four years so they could —gloriously! — hit the ground running on January 20th), but court cases are probably 6-12 months in the future at best. The first step is to take control away from those who set themselves as this administration’s enemies, and that work has only just started.

I dunno, N. I suspect Kennedy's assassination was a coup too.

The email is not consistent with everything that Brennan has told us. I’m not sure that I trust him.

Abu ... you make a very valid point.
I, for one, am growing impatient waiting to read what is still left, not burned or altered files, on both the Kennedy's and MLK.

It goes back to the Dulles Brothers at the end of WW-II. Like when they worked with Himmler to get German and NAZI assets. So Dulles, Various bankers and the British Royal family who likely KILLED Himmler. Youtube link to that heist
[ZERO] For Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the weaponization of the criminal justice system has always followed a certain Casablanca pattern. Like Claude Rains as the venerable Captain Louis Renault, it is simply a matter of "rounding up the usual suspects."
Grassley released FBI whistleblower records on Thursday showing that an anti-Trump figure, former FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault, previously found to have violated the Hatch Act was a key factor in pushing the election charges brought by former Special Counsel Jack Smith.
Grassley suggested that Thibault violated protocol in opening and advancing the FBI’s initial probe into the 2020 election without sufficient predication. The investigation, called Operation Arctic Frost, was opened on April 13, 2022.
Years later, "Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, [Thibault] walked" into Grassley’s.
Whistleblowers alleged that Thibault’s alleged "partisanship" likely impacted investigations involving President Trump and Hunter Biden.
Thibault was previously named as the agent who effectively scuttled the investigation into Hunter Biden and his laptop.
[FoxNews] 'There's no doubt that Tammany Hall corruption is alive and well in the state capital,' NY GOP Assemblyman Matt Slater says
New York Democratic lawmakers are working to keep Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik's House seat vacant until the summer in an unprecedented move hashed out during late-night discussions last week, a Republican Empire State assemblyman told Fox Digital.
"We still haven't seen the final proposal from the Democrats in Albany, but there's no doubt that Tammany Hall corruption is alive and well in the state capital," Republican New York Assemblyman Matt Slater, who represents the state's 94th district in areas of Putnam and Westchester counties, told Fox News Digital in an exclusive Zoom interview on Sunday morning.
"It is just blatantly corrupt for the New York State Democrats to keep changing the rules of engagement simply out of self-interest. Meanwhile, New Yorkers are struggling in so many different ways. U-Haul just gave us our worst migration rating ever because there's so many New Yorkers who are fleeing this state.
So the next census is going to be particularly challenging for the state, when they will again lose congresscritters — and will have a smaller pie to keep away from the great Republican unwashed.
So they can get things done, but they only do it when it benefits them," Slater continued.
Slater, who serves as the ranking Republican on the state's Election Law Committee, was reacting to state Democrats working to introduce legislation that could keep Stefanik's House seat vacant until June, when the state holds its scheduled primary elections. Stefanik is in the midst of her confirmation process to serve in the Trump administration and is expected to resign her House seat if the Senate confirms her as the next U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.
Under current law, New York's governor has 10 days to declare a special election for a vacant seat and an additional 80 to 90 days to hold the election. Stefanik's seat is key for the Republican Party and Trump's second administration, as Republicans hold a slim majority at 218 members to the Democrats' 215 members.
The state Democrats' anticipated legislation has not yet been introduced, but Democrats were summoned to an emergency conference on Friday evening to reportedly discuss such a bill, Slater explained. He expects to have a copy of the Democrats' bill on Monday morning.
Slater said the Democrats' objective of changing election laws to move the special election back to the summer is part of their bigger agenda to combat the second Trump administration.
"Speaker Johnson has the hardest job in government right now, trying to keep the Republican conference, caucus together. This obviously would make that margin of Republican control that much more thin and that much more challenging for the speaker and, again, jeopardizing President Trump's agenda to get through Congress. That's their entire mission and goal, the Albany Democrats, is to make sure that they're combating President Trump each step of the way. And this is their latest way of doing it," Slater said.
He pointed to a bevy of instances in which New York Democrats have leveraged their state power to combat Trump and the Republican Party in recent years, including gerrymandering and "stacking" New York's top court with Democrats.
"If you look at the track record of the Democrats, who control every aspect of state government here in New York, they have changed the rules so many times just because it benefits them. Whether it's redistricting, whether it's stacking the Court of Appeals, whether it's allowing the governor to remove her then-indicted lieutenant governor from the ballot. The list goes on and on," he said.
"And in this case, it will deprive 800,000 New Yorkers of proper representation in Washington. And oh by the way, there were two special elections last year. And the Democrats didn't say anything about changing the rules because fact of the matter is, these are Republican districts that will be impacted, and they are trying to disrupt the Trump administration and, frankly, Leader Johnson from being able to deliver on their agenda."
President Donald Trump nominated Stefanik to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under his second administration. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted to advance the New York Republican's confirmation on Thursday, with her full Senate floor vote expected later this week.
Stefanik is expected to resign from the U.S. House to take the ambassadorship if and when the Senate officially confirms her nomination.
A spokesperson for Democrat New York Gov. Kathy Hochul told Gothamist that she "believes it’s critical to increase voter turnout and reduce the cost of election administration, and she would support legislation that achieves that goal."
Slater poured cold water on the office's claim that the proposal is rooted in promoting voter turnout and easing costs, pointing to two special elections held last year – former Democrat Rep. Brian Higgins' seat as well as the February 2024 special election to replace former Republican Rep. George Santos' in a district where Democrats were expected to have an edge over the GOP. Democrats, who have held trifecta control in the state since 2018, did not push to change special election laws last year, Slater noted.
"I can't believe how hypocritical the governor and her office can be in this, because let me remind the governor that she had two special elections for Congress last year," he said.
"To sit here and say that this is going to save taxpayer money and increase voter turnout, but you didn't think about that last year when your own party had special elections that you were favored to win? Fact of the matter is, this has everything to do with the fact that this is a Republican seat. This is about control of Republicans in Congress, and this is about disrupting President Trump's agenda in Washington."
Local outlets have reported the bill could push the special election beyond June to November, when the state holds its general elections, though Slater cast doubt that Democrats would push the envelope that far.
"If you want to talk about increasing voter turnout and saving taxpayer money, they really don't have an excuse to wait past that June date. And so, you know, yes, it's always a possibility that November is the date that they put in the legislation. But I'm hard-pressed to believe that they would go that far," he said.
Slater argued that the push from Democrats to approve the special election change is a wake-up call for New Yorkers.
"[It's] so transparently political that New Yorkers need to wake up, and they need to understand that this isn't the leadership that we're asking for. President Trump has a great agenda moving forward, and this is all about disrupting that agenda to put America first," he said.
Stefanik is a longtime Trump ally who chaired the House Republican Conference from 2021 to 2025, making her the fourth-most powerful Republican in the House. She was first elected to the House in blue New York in 2014 at age 30, making her the youngest woman elected to the House at the time.
Fox News Digital reached out to the governor's office on Sunday but did not immediately receive a reply.

Expecting a bloodbath at FBI today and tomorrow. My guess is acting FBI director Brian Driscoll will be gone by this evening for defying a direct order seeking names of FBI employees—perhaps more than 6,000—involved in Jan 6 cases.
Hard to see how James Dennehy, who runs the NY field office, keeps his job after sending defiant email to colleagues over the weekend promising to “dig in” and not step down or follow orders.
The NYT obtained the email.
Dennehy: “Today, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle of our own, as good people are being walked out of the F.B.I. and others are being targeted because they did their jobs in accordance with the law and F.B.I. policy,” Dennehy wrote.
Dennehy also said the removal of top officials including at Miami and Washington field offices have caused “fear and angst within the F.B.I. ranks.”
He compared his insubordination to being a Marine “in the early 1990s, when he dug a small foxhole five feet deep and hunkered down for safety.
“It sucked,” he wrote. “But it worked.”
Don’t think this is going to end well for Mr. Dennehy.

Also it’s unclear whether every FBI employee who worked on Jan 6 “terrorism” cases will be fired. My guess is many will be asked to take their “terrorism” expertise down to the southern border or other locations where real terror threats exist.

I try and have sympathy for the ‘good’ FBI personnel caught up in the draining of the swamp. But I also know that maybe you are not a ‘good’ FBI resource if you knowingly looked the other way when laws were being broke by colleagues and leadership.
*Happy sigh* Sooooo much winning, and it’s only the beginning of the third week. What is this country going to look like 206 weeks from now? Because I lack the imagination to imagine it.
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] The Department of Justice has opened an investigation into Chuck Schumer ...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 49.16247 years. Senate minority leader as of 2017... for threatening Supreme Court justices.
According to The Washington Post, interim D.C. U.S. attorney Edward R. Martin, Jr. is looking to scrutinize Democratic leaders and former Justice Department officials.
Among them is the Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in connection with comments regarding Trump's Supreme Court justices, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.
During a pro-abortion rally back in 2020, Schumer said that the two justices would ''pay the price'' for overturning Roe vs Wade, a decision that they eventually handed down two years later.
''I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price,'' Schumer said at the time.
''You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.''
''We take threats against public officials very seriously,'' Martin wrote Schumer in a letter on January 21st. ''I look forward to your cooperation.''
