ALEXANDRIA, Va.—The Justice Department said in court on Nov. 19 that the full grand jury in former FBI Director James Comey’s case never saw the final indictment used to charge him, an issue Comey’s attorney described as fatal to the prosecution. The revelation was made amid scrutiny of the grand jury proceedings, but this particular hearing was focused on Comey’s argument that the prosecution should be dismissed as vindictive and unconstitutional. After some argument about the motion, Judge Michael Nachmanoff of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia asked Justice Department attorney Tyler Lemons for further details about the indictment.

The swamp ALWAYS protects its own creatures. This looks suspiciously like a deliberately self-sabotaged dog and pony show for the consumption of those outraged by Comey's rather obvious abuse of authority.

FTA: Trump wrote 'They’re all guilty as hell, but nothing is going to be done.’ Sounds like he gets it.

That is NOT what the prosecution said. The prosecution said the grand jury approved two of three counts, and they rewrote the indictment including only 2 of the indictments, which the grand jury had already seen (word for word), and approved.

Thanks #6, Epoch Times, like so much of media, looking for clickbait hits. They wouldn't know how to just report the facts for any story. It is always slanted to get attention. Ironically, they WOULD get MORE attention, if they were actually telling the truth.

Defense counsel is doing what he should do. Lawyers challenge everything. Comet has bragged about his own guilt - how he cleverly used his law professor friend to leak classified information to the media, with the intent to cause the creation of an independent counsel. I heard Comey say that.

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia announced on X Friday she will resign from Congress early next year, after a weekslong falling-out with President Trump and much of her party. Her last day will be Jan. 5, 2026, Greene said. In a statement, the hard-right congresswoman expressed frustration with her party and with the change of pace in Congress, writing that GOP leadership had refused to work on addressing health care costs, and bills that she drafted on immigration and other issues had sat "collecting dust." She said the "legislature has been mostly sidelined."

Earlier this week, the American people were “reliably” informed by the left-wing press that the full grand jury that indicted disgraced former FBI Director James Comey did not see the final indictment. “Judge grills government over apparent lapses in Comey indictment,” ABC News’ Peter Charalambous, Alexander Mallin, Katherine Faulders, and Nicholas Kerr wrote on November 19. According to the quartet, U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan “told a judge … that the full grand jury that indicted Comey did not see the final indictment — only the foreperson and another grand juror did.” (snip)The only problem? It’s not true.

A bicameral group of Republicans in Congress is grilling James Boasberg, the U.S. district chief judge for Washington, D.C., on his decision to allow lawfare activist Jack Smith to spy on the Senate, offering him the “opportunity to explain yourself publicly” for a decision that almost certainly violated federal law. As The Federalist reported, Boasberg approved a scheme under the Department of Justice’s Arctic Frost weaponization against Republicans in which Smith could subpoena the phone records of House and Senate Republicans and attach a nondisclosure order (NDO) so that the congressional bodies could not find out about it from the telecommunications providers being subpoenaed.

Pennsylvania will lose $75 million in federal roads funds unless it gets into compliance with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) licensing requirements for non-domiciled commercial learner’s permits (CLP) and non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses (CDL). That is according to an alarming letter DOT sent Wednesday to Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Secretary Mike Carroll and Gov. Josh Shapiro. The threatened loss of funding comes on the heels of the recent Kansas arrest of an illegal alien wanted in Uzbekistan for belonging to a terrorist organization, according to ICE. As The Federalist previously reported, the alleged terrorist Akhror Bozorov was issued a non-domiciled CDL in Pennsylvania.

When Europe goes to war with Russia, they will not require the military to fill out customs declarations as they cross borders within the EU. Tanks, missiles, artillery and most combat weapons could be exempt from EU customs declarations if the plan by Brussels moves forwardAdditionally, under the proposal most drivers of military equipment may even be permitted to exceed the limits on driving times and rest periods, should the fight against Russia require extended physical effort. The newly proposed objective is to empower European soldiers to make independent decisions without having to fill out the customary paperwork, requiring prior approval from the European Commission before affixing their bayonets.

The Trump administration has done an admirable job of stopping border crossings by illegals since taking control of the executive branch in January, but as many Americans who voted for President Donald Trump know, stopping those people is only half the battle. The other half is efficient and effective mass deportations to the tune of 1 million per monthThe Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced in late October that more than 2 million illegals had left the country, most of whom self-deported, while DHS forcibly removed 500,000. DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said the Trump administration was on pace to deport 600,000 by the end of Trump’s first year back in office.
Appeals Court Sides With CNN Over Trump 7 replies

A panel of appeals court judges on Nov. 18 upheld a ruling against President Donald Trump in a case he brought against CNN. Trump did not adequately show that CNN defamed him when it reported that he promoted what it described as the “Big Lie” when challenging results from the 2020 presidential election, judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit concluded. Trump said that the phrase was intended to link him to Adolf Hitler and propaganda used by the Nazis in Germany, but the term is ambiguous enough to cast doubt on that allegation, according to the new ruling.

Fake news was working overtime on Monday by declaring, without authority, that the “full, complete” presidential pardons related to the 2020 presidential election cannot protect against bogus state charges arising from that election. Corporate media wrongly insisted that the pardon clause in the U.S. Constitution applies only to charges brought by federal prosecutors. Not so. The pardon clause states that the president “shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.” Every attempt in court to narrow the scope of the pardon clause has failed.

Republicans are at odds over an effort to unwind a controversial provision tucked into the bill to reopen the government that would allow senators to sue for substantial sums if they aren’t notified when federal law enforcement seeks their phone records. The provision has fueled classic tensions between the House and the Senate, prompted an effort to repeal the new law, divided Republicans, and started to become fodder for primary opponents. Signed into law by President Trump last week, the unusual addition to the spending bill fundamentally changes how investigators must treat the 100 members of the Senate.

Few stories grabbed national attention quite like the Cracker Barrel rebrand did this year. Even amid endless high-profile developments in Washington, the Cracker Barrel rebrand stood out as offensive to Americans everywhere. Like Bud Light's partnership with transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney, Cracker Barrel's new look felt like an attack on an American institution from an out-of-touch C-suite that bought into the leftist idea of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. The backlash was so severe that the company publicly slammed the brakes on their modern makeover and promised Americans they weren't changing a thing.

ABC News might soon find itself staring down another expensive defamation lawsuit from President Trump, and honestly, it wouldn't come as a shock. On a recent episode of The View, Joy Behar confidently claimed that it was "obvious" Trump was a pedophile connected with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, implicating him in Epstein’s crimes. This wild accusation came without a shred of evidence tying Trump to Epstein’s criminal activities. In fact, Trump is arguably one of the few prominent figures who did the right thing and severed ties with Epstein years ago, unlike many Democrats who have since been ensnared in the fallout. Despite the Democrats’ best efforts, the recent dump

When Joe Biden, the worst living president of the United States, entered the world in 1942, there were still people alive who fought in the Civil War. Now he's celebrating his 83rd birthday. He is joined in celebration by his conniving wife, Dr. Jill Biden, his crackhead lothario son, Hunter Biden, his utterly disgraced former White House press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, and other deranged weirdos who view Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 campaign as a national tragedy.

When Obama administration officials manufactured U.S. intelligence tying Donald Trump to Moscow following his stunning 2016 victory, they had no idea Trump’s own political appointees would help them undermine Trump’s presidency – and his chances of reelection in 2020. RCI’s review of recently declassified documents and exclusive interviews with former Trump officials reveals for the first time how key members of Trump’s cabinet and other appointees during his first term shrouded the previous administration’s machinations and either deliberately or inadvertently misled the public into thinking the fake Russiagate intelligence was real.

Dick Cheney's funeral was held on Thursday at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. Cheney served as Vice President under President George W. Bush from 2001 to 2009. He died on Nov. 3, at 84 years old, "due to complications from pneumonia and cardiac and vascular disease." Bush and Cheney's daughter, Liz, gave the eulogies. What got a lot of talk on social media about was who was there - and who wasn't. Starting with the "who wasn't," President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance were not invited. Cheney and his daughter were big critics of Trump, and they supported Kamala Harris in her 2024 presidential run.

Charlotte, N.C., is making headlines this week because dozens of construction sites have gone silent. ICE swept through the region, and the labor force evaporated almost instantly. A major American city discovered, in real time, that its building boom was being held together by workers who couldn’t legally be there. Watching that footage hit me hard, because I’ve seen it before — not on the evening news, but in the slow collapse of my own childhood community.

A prominent Muslim advocacy organization is taking Texas to court, arguing that Gov. Greg Abbott's decision to brand it a "foreign terrorist organization" tramples both the U.S. Constitution and state law. The Council on American-Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin chapters filed a federal lawsuit Thursday seeking to overturn Abbott’s proclamation issued earlier in the week. "This attempt to punish the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization simply because Governor Abbott disagrees with its views is not only contrary to the United States Constitution, but finds no support in any Texas law," the group said in its lawsuit. Founded in 1994, CAIR operates 25 chapters nationwide,

Crockett (D-Texas) tried to defend herself Wednesday night in a CNN appearance after she was ripped for boldly implying that she’d found evidence linking the Long Island Republican and other prominent GOPers to the disgraced financier, who died in 2019. “Listen, I never said that it was that Jeffrey Epstein,” Crockett told “The Source” host Kaitlin Collins after being given the chance to correct the record.

The wealthy oceanfront town of Carmel, California, has banned pickleball in its public park after residents complained that the constant sound of paddles striking balls was too noisy. The Carmel City Council voted earlier this month to permanently prohibit the sport at Forest Hill Park, the only public pickleball location within city limits, marking the first such ban in the state, according to sfgate.com. Residents reported that the "popping" sound had been echoing through the neighborhood as players participated in the game that has grown in popularity, particularly among seniors and retirees, the outlet reported.

House Democratic leaders, including Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, contacted the U.S. Capitol Police and the House sergeant-at-arms to request protection for four representatives who appeared in a video message encouraging military troops to defy orders from their superiors that they deem illegal.

With a little less than a year to go before the 2026 midterm elections, a Marist Poll shows Democrats leading Republicans by a massive +14 points in the generic ballot. “Democrats currently have a 14-point lead against the Republicans among registered voters nationally on the 2026 generic congressional ballot question,” writes Marist. “This has changed considerably. Since 2022, voters have been divided about which party’s candidate they would support.” This, even though those polled “place most of the blame for the shutdown on congressional Democrats.” Still, “six in ten [blame] either the President or the GOP in Congress.”
