One of the most despicable things the Deep State did during the Trump era was its persecution of General Michael Flynn. Finally, though, Flynn is pushing back, having filed a claim for $50,000,000 against the United States of America for malicious prosecution and abuse of process.
Donald Trump can be sued by police officers injured in the January 6 riot, the Department of Justice has said.
The department was weighing in on a lawsuit that seeks to hold the former president liable for the actions of the mob that stormed the US Capitol two years ago.
Two officers with the US Capitol Police and 11 Democratic members of Congress have launched a civil lawsuit which seeks to hold him accountable. He has appealed to dismiss the suit, claiming that as president at the time, he held absolute immunity.

The Georgia special grand jury investigating former president Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election believes that at least one of the witnesses that testified before it last year committed perjury, according to portions of the jury’s final report released Thursday.
TDS.
Biden partisans pushed the story hard, claiming that Slow Joe was Maverick from Top Gun, while Trump meekly took it when China did the same thing during his administration.
To retain journalistic credibility, getting a story right is more important than pursuing a crusade.
That’s a fair takeaway from a report published this week by the Columbia Journalism Review dissecting the so-called Russiagate saga, during which former President Donald Trump was accused of colluding with Russian officials to win the 2016 election. While pursuing the story, many journalists went well beyond their traditional role of scrutinizing powerful officials and not only openly picked a side in America’s escalating political warfare but committed to proving a literal conspiracy theory true, no matter the evidence. It didn’t go well.
A progressive billionaire-funded network of Democratic propaganda sites masquerading as legitimate news websites is leading the push to keep former president Donald Trump off Facebook and Twitter.
Courier Newsroom, which bills itself as the “largest left-leaning news network in the country,” organized a petition this week to pressure Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter’s Elon Musk to keep Trump off their platforms. Facebook said Thursday it would reinstate Trump “in the coming weeks.” Twitter reinstated Trump in November, but the former president has not posted on the site. Both sites banned him in January 2021, under pressure from Democratic lawmakers and liberal advocacy groups.
A man who admitted using chemical spray to assault Brian Sicknick on January 6, a day before the Capitol police officer died, was sentenced to nearly seven years in prison in a Washington court on Friday.
Julian Khater, 33, from Pennsylvania, was also fined $10,000.
The judge, Thomas F Hogan, told Khater: “There are officers who lost their lives, there’s officers who committed suicide after this, there’s officers who can’t go back to work. Your actions … are inexcusable.”
WASHINGTON — Four additional members of the far-right Oath Keepers militia were found guilty of seditious conspiracy on Monday for their roles in trying to keep Donald J. Trump in office after his 2020 election defeat, nearly two months after the group’s leader — Stewart Rhodes — was convicted of the same offense in a separate trial in November.
A jury in Federal District Court in Washington also found the four defendants guilty of two separate conspiracy charges.
Despite all the evidence, Biden Justice Department declines to prosecute the officer who shot Babbitt on Jan. 6, 2021.
According to the Biden regime and its supporters in the legacy media, the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol Hill riot resulted in the deaths of five police officers. And, even though one of these died of natural causes and four reportedly committed suicide days and even months after the riot, the legacy media has dutifully linked their deaths to the Capitol demonstrators. All of this is part of an effort by the regime and its supporters to portray the demonstrators as violent insurrectionists who were galvanized and directed by President Donald Trump to forcibly overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The goal, of course, is to disqualify Trump from running for reelection.
The Washington Post admitted Monday that “Russian trolls on Twitter had little influence on 2016 voters” — years after the Post and other corporate media water-carriers pushed the false story that former President Donald Trump’s election was illegitimate, due in part to Russian interference via bots on Twitter targeting U.S. social media users. The admission cites a New York University study that found “there was no relationship between exposure to the Russian foreign influence campaign and changes in attitudes, polarization, or voting behavior.”
Media treatment of the non-story followed a predictable, three-step process that’s become the propaganda press’s MO: Spread a false claim, control the narrative while crushing dissent with bogus “fact checks,” and then admit the truth only after the news cycle has achieved its intended purpose.
It turns out that random drivel produced by foreigners and thrown into the enormous, all-consuming maw of American social media doesn’t have much effect.
Not all conspiracy theories are created equal.
The same people who pride themselves on rigorously insisting on the facts — ideally, explained in the dulcet tones of an NPR anchor — are happy to embrace conspiracy theories supportive of their own worldview.
This is why the idea that Russian disinformation on social media influenced or even decided the 2016 election has gained such purchase, even though a new study finds, unsurprisingly, no evidence for it.
Toronto man used COVID-relief money to import Donald Trump-branded gun parts through the mail
A Toronto man who used COVID-relief funds to buy and illegally import gun parts from the southern United States — including a Donald Trump-branded semi-automatic pistol — is now looking at a penitentiary sentence.
Last fall, on the eve of trial, Devon Pelley pleaded guilty to 10 firearm importation and gun possession charges laid after the Canada Border Services Agency and Ontario Provincial Police in October 2020 intercepted packages containing four firearm slides and barrels, sent by the mail from Alpharetta, a city in northern Georgia, to a fictitious person at a budget hotel on Queen Street West in Toronto.
OMG! It has Trump on it!
The perp imported one Trump gun not multiple Trump gun parts.
A federal appeals court has ruled in favor of a former teacher in Vancouver, Washington, concluding that his wearing a hat supporting Donald Trump to school was protected speech under the first amendment.
Documents from the ninth circuit court of appeals show that Eric Dodge, a science teacher, brought the Make America Great Again baseball cap to an Evergreen Public Schools building twice before the 2019-2020 school year.
According to the Columbian newspaper, the first occasion was a staff-only cultural sensitivity and racial bias training.
As expected, the House Ways and Means Committee Democrats used their final days in the majority to release six years of tax returns connected to former president Donald Trump. This is an unprecedented action, one that was condemned by committee Republicans, and rightly so –this is banana-republic stuff. Committee chairman Richard Neal (D., Mass.) sounded a note of reluctance in his statement, putting most of the blame on the IRS for not auditing Trump enough while he was president. Leaking a tax return is a felony; regardless of the procedural hoops Democrats jumped through to get these returns out there, they’re now as public as they would have been if they’d been leaked, and the committee effectively forcing the leak creates a very bad precedent (can we see Hunter Biden’s tax returns next?).
Former President Donald Trump’s tax returns have been released, ending a bitter six-year long battle to gain greater insights into his finances.
Ever since his entry into politics, critics have been keen to get Mr Trump – whose foundational pitch to voters had been that his business success made him the best choice to run the country – to show what his wealth actually looked like.
He had steadfastly refused.
And … Jan. 6 panel drops Trump subpoena as it wraps up work
WASHINGTON (AP) — The House Jan. 6 committee has dropped its subpoena against former President Donald Trump as it wraps up work and prepares to dissolve next week.
Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson, the committee’s Democratic chairman, wrote in a letter to Trump lawyer David Warrington on Wednesday that he is formally withdrawing the subpoena.
“As you may know, the Select Committee has concluded its hearings, released its final report and will very soon reach its end,” Thompson wrote. “In light of the imminent end of our investigation, the Select Committee can no longer pursue the specific information covered by the subpoena.”
