Shifty Schiff came after Blanche--wrongly accused

Todd Blanche Fires Back at Adam Schiff: ‘You Can’t Accuse Me… and Then Lie’

Todd Blanche had a tense moment with Sen. Adam Schiff during Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing.

Blanche, President Trump’s pick for attorney general, appeared before the panel as senators pressed him on his record, his work at the Justice Department, and his past role as Trump’s personal attorney.

Trump announced last month that he had nominated Blanche to serve as attorney general. The night before the hearing, Trump praised Blanche and urged the Senate to confirm him.

“Todd Blanche is doing a PHENOMENAL job as Acting Attorney General of the United States. Under Todd’s incredible leadership at DOJ, Murder is down to the LOWEST level since 1900, and we just saw the biggest one year drop in RECORDED HISTORY,” Trump said on Tuesday evening.

Schiff used part of his questioning to focus on volume II of Jack Smith’s report involving Trump. He accused Blanche of having a conflict of interest because Blanche previously represented Trump before joining the Justice Department.

Schiff also suggested Blanche played a role in keeping that portion of Smith’s report from being released to the public. Blanche did not let the accusation slide.

Anti-Trumper Jack Smith

DOJ records reveal Jack Smith's team accessed text messages of 44 lawmakers, bypassing its own safeguards

Former special counsel Jack Smith's investigative team accessed the text messages of 44 members of Congress, Republicans and Democrats alike, after bypassing the office's own internal screening protocols designed to protect privileged and constitutionally protected communications, newly released Department of Justice records show.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin disclosed the findings after the DOJ delivered the records on Tuesday.

The messages, sent between October 2020 and January 20, 2021, were exchanged between the lawmakers and Trump White House personnel. Smith's team obtained them from the National Archives and Records Administration as part of its twin investigations into former President Donald Trump.

The disclosure raises hard questions about the scope and discipline of Smith's probe, and about whether his sworn testimony before Congress squares with the paper trail the DOJ has now produced...Filter Team protocols ignored.

Smith's office had established what it called a "Filter Team", a standard DOJ mechanism meant to screen out privileged or constitutionally sensitive material before investigators could review it. Internal DOJ documents released to Grassley spelled out the rules plainly:

"All communication to/from the Filter Team must go through the Coordinator. No materials shall be disclosed to the investigative team without approval of a filter team attorney."

Those rules were not followed. Assistant Attorney General Patrick Davis, in a letter accompanying the records release, told Grassley that Smith's team "bypassed the Filter Team and directly accessed these text messages." The FBI then identified the individuals whose phone numbers sent or received the texts.

Sleazy Jack

Jack Smith forced to answer tough questions to Congress about political investigation of Trump

Former special counsel Jack Smith stepped into the hot seat on Thursday, delivering testimony that has reignited debates over his prosecutorial decisions involving President Donald Trump.

The Daily Caller reported that on Thursday, Smith testified publicly before Congress, fielding intense scrutiny from Republicans over his investigative tactics and litigation choices while receiving praise from Democrats who insisted he handled matters correctly. Of course.

He secured two indictments against Trump—one for alleged interference in the 2020 election and another for mishandling classified documents—but was forced to drop both cases after legal challenges.

Key admissions during the hearing included doubts about parts of former Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony, details on subpoenas for lawmakers’ phone records, payments to confidential sources, and gaps in recalling his own swearing-in process.

Adding to the skepticism, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the classified documents case in July 2024, ruling that Smith’s appointment as a private citizen lacked proper nomination and Senate confirmation. This legal blow, paired with procedural oddities, paints a picture of a prosecution built on shaky foundations. It’s a reminder that process matters as much as intent.

Critics argue his methods—subpoenas, questionable witnesses, and unclear finances—undermine that noble goal. The pursuit of justice shouldn’t look like a fishing expedition.

Jack Smith obstructed Justice

Jack Smith Admits Judges Not Told of GOP Phone Seizures

Jack Smith admitted that judges were not told his team was seizing the phone records of Republican congressmen when asked to sign off on nondisclosure orders for associated subpoenas, according to a transcript of the ex-special counsel's deposition obtained by the New York Post on Wednesday.

Smith told members of the House Judiciary Committee in his testimony on Dec. 17 that keeping the subpoenas — which were part of the FBI's investigation into 2020 election interference — hidden was necessary to avoid a "grave risk of obstruction of justice."

Asked by a Judiciary Committee member whether judges who approved the subpoenas knew they were demanding that AT&T and Verizon hand over the call logs of lawmakers, Smith said, "I don't think we identified that, because I don't think that was department policy at the time."

Judiciary members said Smith's team risked infringing on constitutional "speech or debate protections" for lawmakers — about a dozen of whom had their cellphone metadata taken.

Jack Smith Lied

Jack Smith's prosecution of Donald Trump was supposed to be independent

Turns out that was a lie

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith met with then-FBI Director Christopher Wray on May 24, 2023 — months after Smith launched his investigation into Donald Trump over January 6 and the 2020 election.

One day later, the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division created a "significant case notification" document about Smith's investigation, code-named "Arctic Frost."

The timing wasn't coincidental.

Smith used it to track the private communications and phone calls of nearly a dozen Republican senators during his January 6 probe.

That's right — a Special Counsel appointed by a Democrat Attorney General coordinated with the FBI Director to spy on sitting members of Congress from the opposition party.

Biden Administration's Hit Job against Trump

JPMorgan Chase CEO Just Landed in Florida Prosecutor’s Legal Crosshairs

The Biden regime's witch hunt against Trump just exploded in their faces

Now a top prosecutor is coming for the bank that helped them do it.

And one Florida prosecutor just put JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon in his legal crosshairs. JPMorgan Chase caught red-handed coordinating with Jack Smith.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier dropped a bombshell that sent shockwaves through the financial world.

He announced his office launched a criminal investigation into JPMorgan Chase for allegedly coordinating with Special Counsel Jack Smith's "Arctic Frost" operation to target Trump Media & Technology Group.

The investigation stems from explosive revelations that the Biden Justice Department subpoenaed JPMorgan on March 28, 2023, demanding "any and all records" of Trump Media – including records from before the company even existed.

This wasn't some random fishing expedition. This was a calculated hit job designed to cripple Trump's social media platform Truth Social before it could go public.

Jack Smith targeted Senators and Tech companies linked to the Republican Party

Grassley: Biden’s DOJ Issued 197 Subpoenas Targeting Conservative Groups Like TPUSA

Subpoenas obtained through whistleblowers show wide-ranging surveillance of GOP officials.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) revealed Wednesday that the FBI and former Special Counsel Jack Smith subpoenaed records on hundreds of Republican lawmakers, staffers, and conservative groups — including Turning Point USA and the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) — as part of a sweeping 2022 investigation known as “Arctic Frost.”

At a Capitol Hill press conference, Grassley announced that 197 subpoenas, recently made public, expose a Justice Department probe that extended far beyond its publicly stated scope. The documents show requests for information on over 430 individuals and entities — all reportedly linked to the Republican Party.

Among the organizations named were Turning Point USA and RAGA, along with current and former staff to President Donald Trump, such as Dan Scavino and Peter Navarro.

Video from Grassley’s briefing showed that subpoenas were issued to financial institutions and Apple, seeking communications and metadata tied to Trump and even the “January 6th Prison Choir.”

Trump Teases Legal Action Against 'Sleazebag' Jack Smith

Teasing potential legal action against former President Joe Biden's special counsel Jack Smith, President Donald Trump echoed his "sleazebag" rebuke made exclusively Monday night on Newsmax's "Greg Kelly Reports."

"Deranged Jack Smith got caught with his hand in the cookie jar," Trump wrote Tuesday morning on Truth Social. "A real sleazebag!!!"

Trump's "sleazebag" moniker for the special prosecutor appointed by Biden to pursue Trump, his former administration officials, and 2020 election-challenge lawyers is not new, but his remarks to Newsmax on Monday night suggest accountability, if not criminal charges, will be coming.

Political actor now under Investigation

Jack Smith Under Investigation by Office of Special Counsel

The Office of Special Counsel has launched a formal investigation into Jack Smith, the first official legal probe into his conduct, The Post has reported.

Smith is the justice department lawyer who oversaw two criminal investigations into President Donald Trump during the Biden administration, one into Trump’s handling of classified documents, the other as to whether his actions on Jan. 6th, 2021, were an attempt to overturn the 2020 election. Both cases were dismissed.

An email reviewed by The Post states The Hatch Act Unit, which enforces a law restricting government employees from engaging in political activities, has begun reviewing the former Special Counsel for the United States Department of Justice. The email was written by Senior Counsel Charles Baldis at OSC.

Deep State Operatives under Jack Smith, fired

DOJ Axes 20 Deep State Operatives—Media Furious!

In a decisive move to restore integrity to the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Trump administration has fired 20 employees who worked under Special Counsel Jack Smith’s politically motivated investigations targeting former President Donald Trump.

According to a source familiar with the matter, the terminated staff includes two prosecutors, 12 support staff, and six U.S. marshals who assisted in the classified documents and 2020 election cases—both of which were dismissed after Trump’s landslide victory in the 2024 election.

This latest purge follows the dismissal of more than a dozen officials tied to Smith’s team in January, with Smith himself resigning before Trump took office, a clear sign that the Biden-era DOJ’s weaponized lawfare against Trump has finally met its end.

The liberal media, ever eager to spin this as an authoritarian crackdown, has conveniently ignored the rampant corruption and ethical violations that plagued Smith’s investigations. Axios and Reuters, while reporting on the firings, failed to acknowledge the glaring conflicts of interest and partisan bias that tainted these cases from the start.

Smith’s own final report admitted that Trump would have been convicted if not for his election victory—an astonishing admission that reveals the sham nature of these prosecutions. Yet, even Smith couldn’t bring himself to charge Trump with insurrection, conceding that January 6 was nothing more than a riot and that there was no evidence Trump incited it.

Charges dropped against Mar-A-Lago's Valet and Property Manager in documents case

Trump's DOJ drops Mar-a-Lago classified documents charges against president's co-defendants

Sweet news on President's Day

On Wednesday, Justice Department attorneys requested the dismissal of federal criminal charges against Donald Trump and his two co-defendants for improper handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, as CBS News reported.

“The United States of America moves to voluntarily dismiss its appeal with prejudice (dismissed permanently),” the motion from Assistant U.S. Attorney Hayden P. O’Byrne states.

“The government has conferred with counsel for Appellees Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, who do not object to the voluntary dismissal.”

President Trump's valet, Nauta, and Mar-a-Lago property manager, De Oliveira, were charged with conspiring to obstruct federal investigators investigating allegations that Trump unlawfully kept classified documents at his resort property after his first term.

Indictments arose from investigations led by special counsel Jack Smith, who resigned this month after dismissing Trump's criminal charges due to DOJ policy against pursuing a sitting president.

Jack Smith is moving on

Jack Smith Withdraws from Trump’s Classified Documents Case

Just in time for January 20

If the classified documents case initially filed by Special Counsel Jack Smith continues at some point, it will have to happen without him.

According to reports, Smith transferred all relative documents over to federal prosecutors in the Southern District of Florida.

Smith formally dropped the charges in his cases against Trump, but this was done without prejudice, so the charges can be brought again in the future if another prosecutor decides to represent the case.

This is Jack Smtih removing himself from all obligations so he can resign as Special Counsel.

In the classified documents case, Trump had a friendly judge that he appointed, Judge Aileen Cannon.

Investigating the Investigator?

Jack Smith Could Face ‘Severe Consequences’ For Year-Long Legal Crusade Against Trump

Special counsel Jack Smith may not be in the clear, even after dropping all charges against President-elect Donald Trump.

Smith’s decision to dismiss his cases against Trump on Monday reignited calls for an investigation into his efforts. While it’s unclear if probing Smith is high enough on Trump’s priority list to translate talk into action, some aren’t ready to simply brush Smith’s months-long pursuit aside now that the threat is gone.

Investigating the federal prosecutions against Trump is important “because of the huge cost and ultimate failure,” former federal prosecutor Andrew Cherkasky told the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“Whether that yields findings of criminality is unlikely. However, I think it will find that Smith’s novel legal approach was fraught with issues that should have led a reasonable prosecutor to decline prosecution,” Cherkasky told the DCNF. “Smith is already leaving his special counsel post, but I anticipate some of the lawyers working under him will also be forced out of the [Department of Justice] DOJ for engaging in a legally unsound prosecution.”

Jack Smith steps down before he gets fired

Jack Smith's team asked to cancel upcoming Trump court deadlines

Judge cancels court deadlines in Trump’s 2020 election case after his presidential win

The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case canceled any remaining court deadlines Friday while prosecutors assess the “the appropriate course going forward” in light of the Republican’s presidential victory.

Special Counsel Jack Smith charged Trump last year with plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and illegally hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

But Smith’s team has been evaluating how to wind down the two federal cases before the president-elect takes office because of longstanding Justice Department policy that says sitting presidents cannot be prosecuted, a person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.

Trump’s victory over Vice President Kamala Harris means that the Justice Department believes he can no longer face prosecution in accordance with department legal opinions meant to shield presidents from criminal charges while in office.

In a court filing Friday in the 2020 election case, Smith’s team asked to cancel any upcoming court deadlines, saying it needs “time to assess this unprecedented circumstance and determine the appropriate course going forward consistent with Department of Justice policy.”

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan quickly granted the request, and ordered prosecutors to file court papers with their “proposed course for this case” by Dec. 2.

Trump says he will fire Jack Smith

Trump Challenges Jack Smith Appointment as Special Counsel

Trump is once again on the attack against Special Counsel Jack Smith.

Trump’s attorneys are already challenging Jack Smith’s appointment as unconstitutional.

The former president added more fuel to the fire saying that he would fire Smith “within two seconds” if he gets elected as president. Can He Do This.

First, let’s look at the filing by Trump’s attorneys, who are claiming that Merrick Garland did not have the power to appoint Jack Smith.

If that is true, the special counsel appointments of the last five decades, including William Barr's appointment of John Durham, will all be nullified.

This very issue was heavily litigated in the 1970s, and rules for the appointment of a special counsel by the attorney general were clearly outlined in 28 CFR § 600.1.

Trump will deliver swift action against Jack Smith upon taking office

Trump Promises Rapid Dismissal of Special Counsel If Re-Elected

Former President Donald Trump has stirred controversy ahead of the election by promising swift action against Special Counsel Jack Smith.

According to Alternet, Trump declared his intention to dismiss Jack Smith, the special counsel currently prosecuting him, should he return to power.

In a recent podcast conversation with Hugh Hewitt, Trump conveyed his resolve to remove Smith immediately upon reclaiming the presidency. The Washington Post highlighted this statement in its coverage of the interview.

Trump denigrated Smith during the interview, labeling him as "corrupted," which Trump sees as justification for the intended dismissal. Nonetheless, actual authority to discharge a special counsel lies with the Attorney General, not the president.

Despite legal norms, Trump appeared unfazed, expressing confidence in his ability to maneuver the situation. "Oh, it’s so easy. It’s so easy," he affirmed regarding the removal of Smith.

Evil Jack Smith

Jack Smith just got indicted for this nasty election violation he thought he’d gotten away with

Jack Smith is Kamala Harris’ secret weapon in the 2024 election.

But Jack Smith is also on the wrong side of the law.

And now Jack Smith just got indicted for this nasty election violation he thought he’d gotten away with. Jack Smith’s election interference.

Obama Judge Tanya Chutkan unsealed Jack Smith’s detailed 165-page brief, using the flawed argument that all the sham criminal charges he filed against Trump for contesting the 2020 election fell outside the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling as her excuse.

Chutkan made the brief public, which allowed Smith to present a one-sided case to the public of his evidence and arguments presented in the best light possible, which also denied Trump’s due process rights to test Smith’s case in court using cross examination and the rules of evidence.

“The release of this falsehood-ridden, Unconstitutional, J6 brief immediately following Tim Walz’s disastrous Debate performance, and 33 days before the Most Important Election in the History of our Country, is another obvious attempt by the Harris-Biden regime to undermine and Weaponize American Democracy, and INTERFERE IN THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
