GOP senator vows to delay debt ceiling deal lacking ‘substantial reform’

 

May 25, 2023

Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), the chairman of the conservative Senate Republican Steering Committee, is threatening to use “every procedural tool” at his disposal to slow down Senate passage of a bill to raise the debt ceiling if it doesn’t include “substantial” reforms.

Lee could drag out the floor proceedings on a bill for days, something that negotiators could now have to factor into their timeline as they scramble to reach a deal before the nation defaults.

“I will use every procedural tool at my disposal to impede a debt-ceiling deal that doesn’t contain substantial spending and budgetary reforms. I fear things are moving in that direction. If they do, that proposal will not face smooth sailing in the Senate,” Lee tweeted Thursday morning in response to media reports that White House negotiators and Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) are getting closer to an agreement on spending levels.

Lee has an array of tools at his disposal to bog down any debt limit deal.

IRS chief responds to allegations of whistleblower retaliation: 'IRS follows the direction of the Justice Department'

 May 25, 2023

IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel admitted last week that if an IRS whistleblower had their "work assignment" changed, it came at the direction of the Justice Department.

There are at least two IRS whistleblowers, one being a criminal supervisory special agent, that claim the Justice Department has interfered in a high-profile criminal investigation. While the attorneys representing the supervisory agent have been careful not to name the subject of that investigation, it is believed to be the Hunter Biden probe.

What did Werfel say?

Responding to allegations of internal retaliation against IRS whistleblowers, Werfel sent the House Ways and Means Committee a letter on May 17 denying those accusations, Fox News reported.

But he also suggested the Justice Department is responsible for actions taken against the whistleblower who came forward last month.

"I want to state unequivocally that I have not intervened — and will not intervene — in any way that would impact the status of any whistleblower," Werfel wrote, according to Fox News.

Supreme Court limits federal power over wetlands in favor of property rights

 

May 25, 2023

Justice Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinion that stated that the Clean Water Act only regulates wetlands that have a "continuous surface connection" to larger bodies of water that are regulated. 

The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled 5-4 in favor of an Idaho couple who wanted to build a house near a lake in a decision that makes it more difficult for the Environmental Protection Agency to police water quality. 

Justice Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinion that stated that the Clean Water Act only regulates wetlands that have a "continuous surface connection" to larger bodies of water that are regulated. The couple, Chantell and Michael Sackett, do not have such a connection on their property.

House Fails To Overturn Biden’s Veto Of Bill Repealing Tariff Exception For Chinese Solar Panels

 

May 25, 2023

The House of Representatives failed on Wednesday to overturn a veto by President Joe Biden of a bill passed by Congress that would repeal his tariff exemptions to solar panels made with Chinese components, which was granted to further his climate agenda.

Both houses of Congress, on May 4, passed a bill to repeal the “Procedures Covering Suspension of Liquidation, Duties and Estimated Duties” issued by the administration, which suspended tariffs on “crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells” – a component of solar panels made using parts from China. Republicans have said that the rule will effectively remove photovoltaic cell tariffs on China – enabling them to ship components to other countries, which then send finished panels to the U.S. – as well as benefit Chinese firms using the “slave labor” of China’s Uyghur Muslim population to make the components. (RELATED: ‘Build Back Beijing’: Biden Waives Solar Tariffs In Massive Win For Chinese Industry)

The vote to overturn the veto was 214-205, garnering a majority of support in the House but well below the two-thirds majority required to overturn a veto under the Constitution. The effort had first passed the Republican-majority House by a vote of 221-202 and the Democratic-majority Senate by a vote of 56-41, garnering bipartisan support in each chamber, even as Biden vowed to veto the bill and did so.

Small Businesses Assured with U.S. Supreme Court Ruling in Sackett v. EPA

 

May 25, 2023

Sackett v. EPA concerned WOTUS standard for property owners

WASHINGTON, D.C. (May 25, 2023) – NFIB applauds today’s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency. The Court determined the EPA and the Department of the Army had overstepped the federal authorities granted under the Clean Water Act. NFIB filed an amicus brief in the case arguing against the Ninth Circuit’s ruling.

“Today’s decision in Sackett v. EPA provides long-needed clarity for small business owners and landowners,” said Beth Milito, Executive Director of NFIB’s Small Business Legal Center. “The ever-changing standard and definition of ‘waters of the United States’ has disproportionately impacted small businesses, including farmers, ranchers, home builders, and contractors. The Supreme Court’s ruling today affirmed the limits set by Congress and will rein in the extreme interpretation of the Clean Water Act.”

The case questioned whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit set forth the proper test for determining whether wetlands are “waters of the United States” under the Clean Water Act. When a wetland is deemed to be a “water of the United States,” and thus subject to EPA’s jurisdiction, landowners can expect both bureaucratic and financial obstacles to improving their lands. Today’s decision narrows the number of situations in which the EPA will have jurisdiction.

In December, NFIB opposed the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) and the Department of the Army’s final rule on the waters of the United States.

The NFIB Small Business Legal Center protects the rights of small business owners in the nation’s courts. NFIB is currently active in more than 40 cases in federal and state courts across the country and in the U.S. Supreme Court.

Smoking Gun: Hunter Biden’s “Pay for Play” Contract/Emails Revealed From Days Before the Infamous “Son of a Bitch Was Fired” Trip to Ukraine

May 25, 2023

Joe Biden infamously bragged about his “$1 billion loan guarantee” quid-pro-quo meeting that took place in December 2015 in Ukraine.  Joe couldn’t help bragging about getting the prosecutor investigating Burisma, Viktor Shokin, fired years later in a Council on Foreign Relations panel.  In his boastings, Biden also implicated then-President Obama in that exchange:  “You have no authority…you’re not the President…” to which Biden smugly replied “Call him.”

But more shocking than this admission are emails that strongly suggest Hunter Biden’s involvement in this effort to “close down for [sic] any cases/pursuits against Nikolay [Zlochevsky] in Ukraine.”  The following outlines a thorough investigation by Badlands Media co-founder Jon Herold:

Can the Abraham Accords transform the Middle East?

 

May 25, 2023

The third anniversary of landmark agreements between Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain, known as the Abraham Accords, is approaching. Joint normalization between the Jewish state, Sudan, and Morocco later followed, growing the number of countries in the region that recognize Israel.

Now is a good time to revisit the peace treaties to see how they have reshaped the trajectory of Middle East relations.

Named after the father of three monotheistic religions founded in the Middle East — Judaism, Islam and Christianity — the U.S.-brokered Abraham Accords made history as the first time in more than two decades that any country in the Middle East and North Africa region normalized ties with the Jewish state.

In 1979, Egypt became the first country in the region to establish a peace treaty with Israel, followed by Jordan in 1994.

Since the Abraham Accords were first penned almost three years ago, normalization has opened new opportunities for defense cooperation, collaboration on food and water security, and much more.

BOMBSHELL REPORT: University program linking Christians, Republicans to Nazis granted DHS funds under 'anti-terror' initiative

 

May 25, 2023

Biden admin funding controversial efforts to treat conservative groups as radical, watchdog warns

The Biden administration is doling out taxpayer money through an anti-terrorism grant initiative to a university program that has explicitly lumped the Republican Party, as well as Christian and conservative groups, into the same category as Nazis, according to documents shared exclusively with Fox News Digital.

The Media Research Center, a conservative watchdog group, obtained documents through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests showing a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) program meant to fight terrorism is funding a group whose work has explicitly targeted the American political right. The MRC outlined its findings in a report, arguing what the group found warrants criminal prosecution.

"This terrorism task force is engaged in an active effort to demonize and eliminate Christian, conservative, and Republican organizations using federal taxpayer dollars," said Brent Bozell, founder and president of the Media Research Center. "What we have uncovered calls for criminal prosecution. The American people need to know those who are abusing their positions in the federal government will be held accountable for their criminal behavior."

DHS's Targeted Violence and Terrorism Prevention Grant Program (TVTP) provides funds to various public, private, and non-profit institutions — such as universities and county governments — "to establish or enhance capabilities to prevent targeted violence and terrorism." Grant applicants must be based in the U.S. and implement a U.S.-based program.

Here's why the US doesn't have to pay off its $31 trillion mountain of debt, according to Paul Krugman

May 25, 2023

Caveat: Economist Paul Krugman is wrong 99.99% of the time.

• The US government doesn't have to pay off its $31 trillion debt, Paul Krugman said.

• The government debt can't be compared to something like a household's finances, Krugman said.

• "When governments for one reason or another run up large debts, it is, as far as I can tell, unusual to pay those debts off."

The US doesn't actually have to pay off its $31 trillion mountain of debt, according to top economist Paul Krugman, hitting back at the idea that government finances can be compared to household balance sheets in an op-ed weeks before the US possibly defaults on some obligations.

Though individual borrowers are expected to pay off debts, the same isn't true for governments, Krugman argued in a column for the New York Times on Friday. That's because unlike people, governments don't die, and they gain more revenue with each passing generation.

"Governments, then, must service their debts – pay interest and repay principal when bonds come due – but they don't necessarily have to pay them off; they can issue new bonds to pay principal on old bonds and even borrow to pay interest as long as overall debt doesn't rise too much faster than revenue," he added.

Though the debt-to-GDP ratio hovered around 97% last year, interest payments on that debt is only around $395 billion, according to the Office of Management and Budget, or around 1% of last year's GDP.

Historically, it's also unusual for governments to pay off large debts, Krugman said. Such was the case for Great Britain, which has largely held onto the debt it incurred as far back as the Napoleonic wars.

In the Red Our glidepath to Insolvency.

 

May 25, 2023

When Ross Perot won an impressive 19% of the popular vote as an independent candidate for president in 1992, his main issue was the national debt. In one of his unusual, half-hour-long campaign ads, Perot declared, “Just this year, we ran up $341 billion in new debt…. That’s our legislators and our president trying to buy our vote, this year, with what used to be our money.”

Three decades later, our national debt—which reached $4 trillion the year that Perot ran—has hit $30 trillion. If our debt were to keep rising at that rate over the next 60 years, it would increase more than 50-fold and surpass $1.5 quadrillion (a quadrillion, which sounds like a made-up number, is a thousand trillions).

The portion of the national debt that really matters is the almost 80% that’s held by entities—whether foreign or stateside—other than the federal government. Such “debt held by the public,” which is fueled by deficit spending, has to be paid back to outside entities, whereas debt not held by the public merely involves intragovernmental transfers. Foreign holdings compose about a third of all debt held by the public. Japan and China hold by far the most (over $1 trillion each), some of which belongs to private investors and some to government entities. Put another way, China—an increasingly hostile world superpower—has more than $1 trillion of leverage over us.

It’s getting worse, fast. Our recent deficit spending has been truly historic. In 2020, based on official federal tallies (the basis for all figures in this essay), the federal government brought in $3.4 trillion in tax revenues and dished out $6.6 trillion in spending—so, for every $10 that came in, $19 went out. This lavish expenditure smashed the deficit record like New York’s Bob Beamon smashed the long-jump record in the 1968 Olympics. Beamon soared past the previous record—27 feet, 4-3/4 inches—to make an astounding 29-foot, 2-1/2 inch-jump. In similar fashion, with the deficit record sitting at $1.4 trillion, the federal government in 2020 spent a spectacular $3.1 trillion that it didn’t have. In 2020 alone, the government racked up more deficit spending than it had during the first 36 fiscal years of the postwar era (1947 through 1982), and that’s after adjusting for inflation.

What Republicans want in exchange for raising the debt limit

 

May 25, 2023

 Debt ceiling negotiations between the White House and congressional Republicans took on a new, harder tone this week after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy signaled that he was not willing to compromise with Democrats over a list of GOP demands.

Instead, McCarthy’s deputies say they view a vote to raise the debt ceiling — and to avoid a potentially catastrophic U.S. debt default — as a concession to Democrats, and potentially the only one they plan to make. Given the havoc a default could wreak on the global economy, increasing the borrowing limit is typically a formality, often structured as a companion bill that gets tacked on to unrelated legislation.

Rep. Patrick McHenry, of North Carolina, a chief GOP negotiator, was asked Tuesday night what concessions Democrats were getting as part of a potential compromise with the White House to win both Republican and Democratic votes.

“The debt ceiling,” he replied.

“That’s what they’re getting,” added Rep. Garret Graves, of Louisiana, another GOP negotiator.

The Final John Durham Report Showed a Massive Conspiracy Against Trump and America!

 May 16, 2023

My transcript from The Medlock Post Radio Show May 16, 2023.

Immanuel Kant: “But a lie is a lie, and in itself intrinsically evil, whether it be told with good or bad intents.”

James Baldwin: “People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction.”

Was any of this report a surprise to you? Was it a surprise to anyone who looked for the truth?  Was this a surprise to anyone with Common Sense?  Was this a surprise to anyone who understood the Constitution and the Rule of Law?

John Durham’s Final Report:

The Justice Department and FBI "failed to uphold their important mission of strict fidelity to the law," Durham concluded in the 306-page report.

            Durham was tasked in late 2020 by then-Attorney General Bill Barr to investigate the origins of the FBI's "Crossfire Hurricane" probe of the Trump campaign that was launched in July 2016. Durham's appointment came just weeks before Trump was defeated by Joe Biden, effectively ensuring that his work would continue even after Biden took office.

Some of the FBI's most controversial actions were largely based on since-debunked allegations provided by former British spy Christopher Steele.

"Our investigation ... revealed that senior FBI personnel displayed a serious lack of analytical rigor toward the information that they received, especially information received from politically affiliated persons and entities," Durham wrote in his report. "In particular, there was significant reliance on investigative leads provided or funded (directly or indirectly) by Trump's political opponents. The Department did not adequately examine or question these materials and the motivations of those providing them before opening a full-scale investigation."

In his final report, Durham alleges that the investigation into Trump in its early days was handled differently from how the FBI approached prior matters, including allegations of "foreign election interference plans" purportedly aimed at Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign, which Durham's team also examined.

"In short, it is the Office's assessment that the FBI discounted or willfully ignored material information that did not support the narrative of a collusive relationship between Trump and Russia," the report says. "An objective and honest assessment of these strands of information should have caused the FBI to question not only the predication for Crossfire Hurricane, but also to reflect on whether the FBI was being manipulated for political or other purposes. Unfortunately, it did not."

While Durham does not appear to say outright that the FBI's Russia investigation should not have been launched, he strongly suggests that is the case -- while using sharp language to admonish former FBI leadership and agents and describing his findings as "sobering."

That is all you need to know about the report.  The FBI, the DOJ, the Deep State Propaganda Media, all LIED to America and the World about Donald Trump.

This was and still is an attack on Donald Trump.  But not just Donald Trump.

The Attacks are against America.

The Attacks are against Freedom.

The Attacks are against the Constitution.

The Attacks are against the Founding Fathers.

The Attacks are against We The People.

The Attacks are against Free and Fair Elections.

The Attacks are against Capitalism.

The Attacks are against Common Sense.

The Attacks are against Reason.

The Attacks are to Censor Truth.

The Attacks are against Freedom to Worship.

The Attacks are against “Love thy Neighbor”.

The Attacks are against Kindness and Goodness.

The Attacks are against Human Dignity.

The Attacks are on Honesty.

Do the results of John Durham’s report matter whether you like Donald Trump or dislike Donald Trump?  Well, it should.  The Deep State Propaganda Media, the Marxist Left, and RINO Republicans painted him as a low-life human being that raped women and did other disgusting things.  You came to hate Donald Trump all based on LIES.  It is one thing not to like someone’s political views.  But the liars wanted you to “hate” Donald Trump. 

They did that because he loved America and wanted America to be America.  He wanted prosperity for all those that would work for it.  Trump did not want America to become a “European America”. Or America to become a “Communist State ruled by Marxist Globalists”.  He wanted America to be the strong Constitutional Republic that made America Great from the beginning of the country’s founding.

I have some questions for all those that came to hate Donald Trump because of the Propaganda Lies about him.

Are you going to change your mind about Donald Trump?

Are you going to realize you have fallen under the spell of Marxist Evil?

Are you going to Repent of your Sins of hatred and envy?

Are you going to forsake that you Bowed at the feet of the False Idol of Marxist Ideology?

Will The Deep State Propaganda Media correct all their false reports and lies and apologize?  They have not even reported on John Durham’s report yet. So why should we think they will change now?

Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) proposed that there are no conceivable circumstances in which lying is morally acceptable. He argued that morality is rooted in our capacity to make free, rational choices and that lying is, in effect, an assault on morality because it aims to undermine this capacity. Kant also affirmed that the moral law demands that we treat others as ends-in-themselves, whereas lying involves treating others merely as means. The Kantian perspective contrasts sharply with that of consequentialists, who hold that the moral value of an act lies entirely in the degree to which it maximizes some nonmoral good.

Immanuel Kant: Lies are morally wrong, for two reasons. First, lying corrupts the most important quality of being human: your ability to make free, rational choices is deprived of you the moment you tell a lie. Each lie you tell contradicts the part of you that gives you moral worth. Second, lies deprive others of their freedom to choose rationally. When your lie leads people to decide other than they would have had they known the truth, you have harmed their human dignity and autonomy.

Ayn Rand: “Devotion to the truth is the hallmark of Morality; there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking.” 

I want to reflect back on the last episode where I said this, “Most people don’t really want the truth. They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is true.”

When people refuse to listen to opposing opinions or engage in a discussion or debate, they are only starving their own intellect and starving their soul.

 

Thomas Sowell: “The beauty of doing nothing is that you can do it perfectly. Only when you do something is it almost impossible to do it without mistakes. Therefore, people who are contributing nothing to society, except their constant criticism, can feel both intellectually and morally superior.”

Durham summary…we knew it all along and none of these bastards will go to jail after putting our country through hell

 May 16, 2023

The Clinton Campaign Was Behind The Whole Thing

• "The FBl's actions with respect to other highly significant intelligence it received from a trusted foreign source pointing to a Clinton campaign plan to vilify Trump by tying him to Vladimir Putin so as to divert attention from her own concerns relating to her use of a private email server," the report concluded. "Unlike the FBI's opening of a full investigation of unknown members of the Trump campaign based on raw, uncorroborated information, in this separate matter involving a purported Clinton campaign plan, the FBI never opened any type of inquiry, issued any taskings, employed any analytical personnel, or produced any analytical products in connection with the information.”
• "This lack of action was despite the fact that the significance of the Clinton plan intelligence was such as to have prompted the Director of the CIA to brief the President, Vice President, Attorney General, Director of the FBI, and other senior government officials about its content within days of its receipt," Durham added. "It was also of enough importance for the CIA to send a formal written referral memorandum to Director Corney and the Deputy Assistant Director of the FBI's Counterintelligence Division, Peter Strzok, for their consideration and action."

There Were Double Standards for Trump and Clinton

• "The speed and manner in which the FBI opened and investigated Crossfire Hurricane during the presidential election season based on raw, unanalyzed, and uncorroborated intelligence also reflected a noticeable departure from how it approached prior matters involving possible attempted foreign election interference plans aimed at the Clinton campaign," Durham wrote.
• "In one such matter...FBI Headquarters and Department officials required defensive briefings to be provided to Clinton and other officials or candidates who appeared to be the targets of foreign interference," he added. "In another, the FBI elected to end an investigation after one of its longtime and valuable CHSs went beyond what was authorized and made an improper and possibly illegal financial contribution to the Clinton campaign on behalf of a foreign entity  as a precursor to a much larger donation being contemplated."
• "These examples are also markedly different from the FBl's actions with respect to other highly significant intelligence it received from a trusted foreign source pointing to a Clinton campaign plan to vilify Trump by tying him to Vladimir Putin so as to divert attention from her own concerns relating to her use of a private email server," Durham continued.

Clinton Opposition Research Firm Fusion GPS Went to the Media Before the FBI

• Before handing over their materials to law enforcement, Fusion GPS and Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann approached a media outlet to secure coverage of the materials.
• "Prior to providing the unfounded Alfa bank claims to the FBI, Sussmann and Fusion GPS (the Clinton campaign's opposition research firm) had provided the same information to various news organizations and were pressing reporters to write articles about the alleged secret communications channel," Durham wrote. "Moreover, during his September 2016 meeting at the FBI, Sussmann told Baker that an unnamed news outlet was in possession of the information and would soon publish a story about it."
• "The disclosure of the media's involvement caused the FBI to contact the news outlet whose name was eventually provided by Sussmann in the hope of delaying any public reporting on the subject," he continued. "In doing so it confirmed for the New York Times that the FBI was looking into the matter."
• "On October 31, 2016, less than two weeks before the election, the New York Times and others published articles on the Alfa Bank matter and the Clinton campaign issued tweets and public statements on the allegations of a secret channel of communications being used by the Trump Organization and a Russian bank -allegations that had been provided to the media and the FBI by Fusion GPS and Sussmann, both of whom were working for the Clinton campaign," the report concluded.

Media Reporting on Trump-Russia Collusion

• Articles by The New York Times, Slate, and Mother Jones regarding the Trump-Russia collusion narrative were cited by the report for the inaccurate information they published. Durham noted that some reports by the Times were debunked by Strzok, while others, such as those by Slate and Mother Jones, were based on information the Clinton campaign was pushing regarding the Alfa Bank allegation.
• Regarding the Times' reports, "the FBI's own records show that reports published by The New York Times in February and March 2017 concerning what four unnamed current and former U.S. intelligence officials claimed about Trump campaign personnel being in touch with any Russian intelligence officers was untrue."

Peter Strzok says Durham investigation 'never should have taken place' after being named in report

 

May 16, 2023

Of course, Peter Strzok is going to say this.  He and Lisa Page were two of the ringleaders in the charge to bring down Donald Trump.  He took many false affidavits to the judges to have them sign off on warrants and subpoenas. 

Strzok was fired from the FBI after his anti-Trump texts were discovered in 2018

Ex-FBI agent Peter Strzok, who was referenced in Special Counsel John Durham’s report Monday, argued that it exhibited "bias" and "never should have" been made.

After four years of research, Durham’s 316-page report found that the FBI investigation into Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign for Russia collusion had a "lack of analytical rigor, apparent confirmation bias, and an over-willingness to rely on information from individuals connected to political opponents."

Despite this, Strzok insisted on MSNBC’s "The ReidOut" that Durham’s investigation "didn’t come up with anything" and "never should have taken place."

MSNBC’s "Deadline: White House" discussed the 300-page report released just hours prior regarding the "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation into whether former President Trump colluded with Russia to influence the 2016 election. Durham found the investigation was marred by a "lack of analytical rigor, apparent confirmation bias, and an over-willingness to rely on information from individuals connected to political opponents."

However, a panel including former FBI agent Frank Figliuzzi and former attorney for the Mueller investigation Andrew Weissman attacked Durham and the report, insisting that it was based on "conspiracy."

General Flynn responds to the John Durham Report…

May 16, 2023

” This report must be a rally cry for all freedom-loving Americans”

Today, special counsel John Durham released his report on his findings regarding the FBI’s investigation into the Trump Russia collusion conspiracy. The result is striking. There never was any basis to investigate President Trump, me, or anyone else in the Trump campaign over fake claims of Russian collusion claims that were a fiction invented by Hillary Clinton’s campaign and pursued by a weaponized and politicized FBI and Department of Justice. This was not just a crime against President Trump, my family, and me, but also against the American people and our constitutional system of government. It must never be allowed to happen again.

This report provides further vindication that the FBI investigation that targeted and persecuted me and my family should have never occurred. While I appreciate the further vindication explained in this report, thanks to the dedicated work from John Durham and his team, I am still angered that this ever was allowed to happen in the first place. The American people were robbed of millions of taxpayer dollars due to this hoax meant to target President Trump, me, and our supporters.

My family and I were attacked for years due to lies. Where do we go for justice? How do I get those lost years of my life back? This is why I have sued the Department of Justice there must be accountability if our constitutional republic is to survive. The FBI dragged my name through the mud for years despite the entire basis of their investigation being built on a lie. A lie that they knew about.

Notably, the report emphatically states that the FBI never had any type of evidence that I engaged in any conspiracy with Russia. The FBI instead apparently went forward with their investigation because I was a member of the Trump campaign who had visited Russia. The FBI opened this fraudulent investigation against me and the Trump campaign despite providing no defensive briefings, either before or after they opened the investigation, to President Trump or anyone in the campaign. Importantly, the report emphasized on page sixty-six that the investigations into me and others in the Trump campaign “had not resulted in the collection of any inculpatory information.”

The report itself provides evidence that the FBI had insufficient, predicate intelligence to open an investigation, that the FBI did not properly analyze any information, and that the FBI had a biased predisposition to open an investigation.

We need to restore accountability in this country before it is too late. We cannot allow witch hunts initiated by our justice system to occur simply based on political biases.

This report provides what we knew all along: the Trump-Russia investigation was a conspiracy, not based on fact, but instead, politically driven. The partisan corporate news media will try to bury this report and hope that the American people quickly forget about it. We must resist this temptation. This report must be a rally cry for all freedom-loving Americans, of all parties and persuasions, to fight back against a politicized federal law enforcement and justice system. If we do not fight back now, the America we love may be lost forever.
