“Deep State”
One Month Before Election Day, Judge Chutkan Allows Jack Smith to Broadcast His Evidence
With 34 days to go before Election Day, and with early voting already under way in states that will decide the presidential contest, Judge Tanya Chutkan has granted Biden-Harris Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith’s motion to publicly broadcast the evidence he would offer at trial in the 2020 election-interference case against the Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump.
The Deep State just won’t quit.

Despite the USSS, Donald Trump Has Survived Two Assassination Attempts
It is only by Divine providence that Trump has survived. At this juncture in our history, if Trump were actually assassinated, that would have unfathomable consequences.
My investigator’s creed is trust no one, there are no coincidences, and follow the money, honey.
Bombshell revelations: Apparent cover-up of DNC pipe bomb that was found on January 6 appears to unravel
WASHINGTON, DC – While Democrats and the media have been focusing on the shiny object of the January 6, 2021 siege at the U.S. Capitol, another incident that occurred that day has been ignored. This incident, involving the discovery of pipe bombs, is possibly much more serious than what occurred at the Capitol. It raises a lot of questions and underscores the need for further investigation and public engagement.
The Secret Service Is a National Embarrassment
If this is what the Secret Service has become, it’s a wonder that something worse than Butler, Pa., hasn’t already happened.
That event was terrible enough, with one rally-goer killed and Donald Trump coming within an inch of losing his life.
Inexperienced Secret Service agent stuck on helpline during Trump shooting
An inexperienced Secret Service agent was stuck on a drone helpline during the attempted assassination of Donald Trump at a rally, a Senate investigation has found.
Multiple Secret Service failures during the July rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, were “foreseeable” and “preventable”, according to the bipartisan report released on Wednesday.
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee inquiry found multiple failures on almost every level, including in planning, communications, security and allocation of resources.
Secret Service Whistleblower Claims Trump Forced To Cancel Wisconsin Rally Because Agency Could Not Secure the Event
Senator Hawley is making new accusations against the Secret Service following the recent attempt on President Trump’s life, saying that a whistleblower has informed him that the protective agency denied resources Trump’s campaign requested ahead of a rally in Wisconsin.
The Secret Service has yet to respond to the allegation.
Ryan Wesley Routh charged with attempting to assassinate Trump at Florida golf club
Man charged with attempting to assassinate Trump at Florida golf club
A man accused of lurking outside Donald Trump’s south Florida golf course on 15 September with a gun – and allegedly writing about his desire to kill him – was charged on Tuesday with attempting to kill the Republican presidential candidate.
Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was indicted on five counts in south Florida federal court: attempted assassination of a major political candidate, possessing a firearm in furtherance of a crime of violence, assaulting a federal officer, felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. He was first charged with federal firearms crimes after his arrest.
The media are desperate to make us forget Crooks and Routh.
Trump Assassins: Off-the-Books Assets?
Prior to their respective assassination attempts targeting Trump, Ryan Routh and Thomas Crooks had extraordinary proximity to U.S. Intelligence, demonstrated foreknowledge of Trump’s schedule and security, and acquired skills that intelligence agencies have a history of sharing with assets.
When Did FBI Know?: House Judiciary Committee Demands Briefing From Wray on Iran Hack of Trump Campaign
The GOP-led House Judiciary Committee announced Friday that it has launched inquiry into Iran’s hacking of the Trump Campaign to support the Biden-Harris campaign.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) revealed in a joint statement Wednesday that “Iranian malicious cyber actors in late June and early July sent unsolicited emails to individuals then associated with President Biden’s campaign that contained an excerpt taken from stolen, non-public material from former President Trump’s campaign as text in the emails.”
‘There Was Complacency’: Secret Service Reveals Failures That Led to First Trump Assassination Attempt
Breakdowns in communication with local law enforcement impeded the Secret Service’s ability to competently address the first attempt on former president Donald Trump’s life at a Pennsylvania rally in July, according to a preliminary report released Friday.
Secret Service acting director Ronald Rowe, who replaced Kimberly Cheatle following her resignation due to fallout from the attempted assassination, laid the blame on complacent Secret Service agents, who he vowed would face unspecified consequences.
What did John Brennan Know?
About the assassination attempts on Donald Trump, and when did he know it?
In the wake of the second attempt on his life, Donald Trump flagged the “highly inflammatory language” Democrats have deployed against him, such as the charges of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris that the former president is a threat to democracy and so forth. When it comes to inflammatory language and outright hatred, it’s hard to top former CIA director John Brennan, author of Undaunted: My Fight Against America’s Enemies at Home and Abroad. Note the order in the subtitle.
US says Iran sent info from Trump hack to Biden associates
Iranian hackers distributed information about Donald Trump’s electoral campaign to people linked to the Biden campaign, according to the FBI and US intelligence agencies.
US officials now believe that information taken from the Trump campaign was sent in unsolicited emails to people linked to the campaign in late June and early July – before Biden dropped out of the race for president.
There is currently no evidence that the hackers received any reply from any recipients.
They just keep trying.
FBI Agent Investigating Second Assassination Attempt Allegedly Made ‘Anti-Trump’ Posts
When FBI Special Agent Jeffrey Veltri addressed a room of reporters Sunday, he presented himself as a disinterested investigator in the second attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life. But Veltri was known at the FBI to be “adamantly and vocally anti-Trump,” according to a whistleblower account reported by The Washington Times.
“The FBI has assumed the role as the lead federal law enforcement agency in the investigation,” said Veltri, who is in charge of the FBI Miami Field Office, in the press conference. “We will continue to support this investigation with the full resources of the FBI.”
The reason people want to kill Trump – Weaponized conspiracies are more potent than facts
“Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?”, asked Henry II in 1170, to no one in particular. He was referring to his fractious Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket; in turn, some of Henry’s knights took his remark as their cue to murder the Archbishop.
This is hardly the last time incendiary language has, however indirectly, prompted violence in the real world. Nine centuries on from Henry II, Donald Trump’s characteristically florid turn of phrase has been repeatedly linked to real-world threats to public safety. Then just last week, his repetition of a rumour about Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, eating local pets sparked a media furore — and reported bomb threats in Springfield itself.
Speaking of which …
BREAKING: Ohio Governor Mike DeWine is refusing to identify the foreign actors who called in the majority of hoax bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio. This is outrageous. The public has a right to know which foreign nations are meddling in our elections. pic.twitter.com/M61hCg50mn
