Special counsel Jack Smith filed a superseding indictment in the same DC case, showing how desperate the Democrats are to stop Trump from winning the White House, for he and RFK would shut down the Neocons who are taking us into World War III. Smith is outright seeking to Interfere in the 2024 Election. Smith was also never appointed or approved by Congress. He is an unauthorized hack of Merrick Garland, another Neocon who hates Russians. Garland also claims that his family was persecuted by Russians, along with Antony Blinken and Victoria Nuland. What are the odds that three people with personal family grievances with Russians control the Biden White House?
The FBI has conceded that they had so many agents there on January 6th that they could not even give a number to Congress. There is reasonable doubt as to who actually broke into the Capitol. Was it FBI undercover that created the affair to allow Pelosi to suspend normal rules for counting the votes? They want to blame Trump, but the beneficiary was actually Pelosi and Biden. There was also concern that calling in the National Guard presented an unspoken risk. Those in the military tend to lean more toward Trump than Biden. There were concerns that the National Guard could have switched sides and supported Trump vs Pelosi/Biden. After all, that is how coups often take place.
The actual rigging of the election took place in Congress. The claims that Trump denied bringing in the National Guard was false. Retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg testified before Congress that President Donald Trump did, in fact, request National Guard troops be deployed in Washington D.C. before the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Kellogg also said he was present at the time of Trump’s request and that Congress should release his testimony to the public, but the Democrats withheld that testimony. The American Military News also wrote:
“David Bossie, who wrote the Washington Times op-ed noted Jan. 3 conversation between Trump and Miller and said the Jan. 6 select committee is “crafting a narrative that doesn’t quite add up and omits important facts that would not stand if there were proper Republican representation on the committee.”
NBC News reported that the commanding general of the District of Columbia National Guard told members of Congress Wednesday that he had troops ready to deploy immediately to the Capitol on Jan. 6th. Still, it took more than three hours for the Defense Department to give the green light. This has raised questions about the Deep State and did they delayed the National Guard to ensure that the FBI broke the windows and led the protestors into the Capitol so that Pelosi was able to declare EMERGENCY RULES, shutting down all challenges to any state vote. If a state is challenged, it is to be debated in the full House. Pelosi imposed the COVID Rule that restricts the maximum number of people on the floor to 53. Any election rigging took place in Congress. It was not about voting machines or dead people voting which always takes place in every election.
Jack Smith has revised everything because he would have had to reveal his case is a mini-trial all over evidence in light of the Supreme Court. If Smith had tried to proceed under the original indictment would have given Trump a hearing that would have turned into a mini-trial. Smith would have been forced to bring in his witnesses and experts to testify and make the case for why Trump’s charges should remain or should be dropped. This superseding indictment was really to fold his case, which would have been questionable to begin with, and he would have lost respect in the public eye all before the election. The judges in all of Trump’s ongoing criminal cases must go through to apply the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision.
While we have the diehard Democrats who do not care about the Constitution or the rule of law, they spell “justice” using two words: “JUST US” and do not care about the future. The Supreme Court also held that prosecutors have ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY and judges, but the President should not be above the law? Why? They are?
The Supreme Court in 1993 also was confronted by the constant abuse of prosecutors in an investigative context. They finally ruled that abuse of the investigative process is grounds to deny the prosecutor’s absolute immunity under Buckley v. Fitzsimmons, 509 U.S. 259 (1993). That ruling reversed the holding of Absolute Immunity for prosecutors. The Immunity decision in the Trump case follows the same path that official acts are immune, the same as Smith enjoys. Still, UNOFFICIAL acts do not carry absolute immunity in the same way as the improper investigative acts Smith.
So let’s stop the partisan BS, and without the rule of law, NO NATION can stand!!!!!!!
This superseding indictment was to avoid an evidentiary hearing that would have been a mini-trial that would have Smith losing much of his wind, looking to the entire world that is just a partisan hack with the sole purpose of interfering in the 2024 election.

The tip of the Lawfare spear consists of a small group of former DOJ attorneys and Main Justice leftists who helped AG Eric Holder create the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) when it was formed on behalf of President Obama.
Lawfare, writ large, are a tribe of leftists who strategically weaponize the justice systems within the DOJ. They are also the main guides, strategists and legal analysts who previously used Robert Mueller and currently use Jack Smith.
The tribe is led by a trio of fellow travelers: Mary McCord, Norm Eisen and Andrew Weissmann.
If you research the group, you will discover that Mary McCord sits at the center of every attack approach deployed against President Trump {CITATION}. The influence of McCord cannot be overstated, while gender fluid leftists like Eisen, Weissmann (and others), wax philosophically about which statutes can be twisted and interpreted to assist their Lawfare strategy du jour.
Everything we have watched unfold, from using “The Logan Act” against Michael Flynn, to using “The Insurrection Act” against President Trump and the J-6 targets, comes from this small crew of effeminate leftists.
The similarity of the Lawfare behavioral proclivities is an outcome of their tribal synchronicity. Much like the McClintock or Wellesley effect, when you isolate Lawfare individuals into a small tribe, their collective behaviors replicate.
This crew of Brookings funded Lawfare ideologues was also described by Christine Blasey-Ford as her “Beach Friends.” Since leaving official government positions, the key trio of leadership congregate professionally on MSNBC and feed the leftists in media and politics from their primary cable outlet.
I noted, during a recent flight filled with DC bureaucrats and IC officials (United Airlines), how they all watched MSNBC on their seat monitors as if it was a religious service that needed to be attended. It really was a sight to see. Every bureaucrat, active or retired, seated with their laptop under the headrest monitor while typing, texting and DM’ing in unison like synchronized swimmers.
That experience was the first time I realized how the term “NPC’s” or non-Player Characters might have originated as a meme, but the label was eerily accurate.
FBI HQ left, Main Justice building right
The alarming aspect to the tribal Lawfare approach, is to realize how this essentially very small group of former DOJ-NSD lawyers commands such an oversized influence on our national politics.
In reality, this crew is likely less than 20 full-time characters with about a half-dozen lawyers used as spokespeople. Essentially, the public voice to keep the hardcore leftists on the optimal message. However, this group also writes the legal strategies for all of the attack approaches used in Atlanta, Georgia (Fani Willis), New York (Alvin Bragg) and DC/FL with Special Counsel Jack Smith.
Within Main Justice, it is Deputy AG Lisa Monaco who takes the Lawfare instructions from the outside group and funnels them back into actionable work within the DOJ (ie to Jack Smith). It’s a similar process as to how the inside and outside group coordinated and used Robert Mueller.
Andrew Weissmann, Mary McCord and Norm Eisen (with occasional guests), can be seen daily watching very closely how their legal briefs, citations and structured legal motions are being used. Yes, it is their written words, their legal briefs, and their filings that are signed by the government officials and submitted into multiple judicial venues.
♦ Well, that’s who they are…. So, we cannot say we don’t know the exact names of the people at the epicenter of the operation, and you do not need to read the proverbial overuse of the word “they” without knowing exactly who they are.
With the Supreme Court ruling yesterday on presidential immunity, the Lawfare group is absolutely apoplectic and fraught with anxiety about it.
Why?
Why this much extreme vitriol?
The answer is very simple. Andrew Weissmann speaks about the exact reason in this soundbite. Listen at the 01:37 point, when Weissmann says the ruling now puts the President in charge of the DOJ-NSD. THAT reality is beyond alarming to a group who have lived in a world where they were untouchable. WATCH:
What exactly is the background here?
This is where CTH readers are miles ahead, at least a year ahead, of where the reality of this story will eventually end up. Andrew Weissmann is concerned because the Supreme Court just put the DOJ-NSD back into a box where they are accountable within the Executive Branch.
Remember, Barack Obama and Eric Holder created the DOJ-NSD using the authorities granted to the administrative state by the bureaucracy following 9/11. Specifically, because the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS) was created, and within that dynamic the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) was established. DHS would now be the weaponized umbrella organization, and the power granted to the DNI would establish the need for the DOJ-NSD.
In the era shortly after 9/11, the DC national security apparatus was constructed to preserve continuity of government and simultaneously view all Americans as potential threats. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) were created specifically for this purpose.
What Barack Obama and Eric Holder did with that new construct was refine the internal targeting mechanisms, so that only their ideological opposition became the target of the new national security system. This is very important to understand as you dig deeper.
Washington DC created the modern national security apparatus immediately and hurriedly after 9/11/01. DHS came along in 2002, and within the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 the ODNI was formed. When Barack Obama and Eric Holder arrived a few years later, those newly formed institutions were viewed as opportunities to create a very specific national security apparatus that would focus almost exclusively against their political opposition.
Eric Holder created the DOJ-National Security Division for exactly the purpose of weaponizing the DOJ to target their political opposition. This is what the DOJ-NSD does under the auspices of “National Security.” The FARA violation monitoring is one of the more well-known operations within the DOJ-NSD, and from that construct you find the original justification for the NSA database monitoring.
The surveillance of Americans shifted around the roles and responsibilities within Main Justice after the DOJ-NSD was created. The National Security Division took over Foreign Agent Registration Act monitoring as well as FISA. Both FARA and FISA required some form of downstream surveillance within the authority of the NSD.
The FBI counterintelligence division became the investigative offshoot to assist the NSD, and due to the tightrope of legal compliance issues, lawyers from the NSD were dispatched into the FBI to give legal assistance on the surveillance side. This is how NSD lawyers like Lisa Page, Tashina Guahar and Kevin Clinesmith end up encircling FBI officials like Peter Strzok and Andrew McCabe.
Within this newly created DOJ-NSD, there was no inspector general oversight, so the internal officials were unaccountable, had no reason to worry about anyone looking at them, and they were generally running amok. In 2015 the Office of the DOJ Inspector General requested oversight, and it was Deputy AG Sally Yates who responded with a lengthy 58-page legal explanation saying, essentially, ‘nope – not allowed.’ (PDF HERE) All of the DOJ is subject to oversight, except the NSD.
We discover just how ridiculous and partisan the NSD became through the outcomes of the Hillary Clinton investigation. The Clinton investigation was operated by the FBI and the unaccountable DOJ-NSD.
Yesterday, in a stunning opinion that destabilized the Lawfare ideologues, the Supreme Court affirmed the Unitary Executive principle around the constitution.
The 6-3 opinion held that the President is “a person alone who comprises a branch of government.” This is important to understand. The Executive Branch is the President.
As noted by reader Alex1689: […] Read the SCOTUS opinion, not from a point of view of apprehension about President Trump (he’ll be fine), but from the point of view of what does this allow him to do in his second term, and what straightjackets does it remove that were a threat during his first term?
To start, the court wrote about powers that carry with them core, absolute immunity, the exercise of which cannot come under question in any forum. It specifically identified:
Pardons
Recognition of foreign governments
Removal of executive branch officials.
If it can’t be questioned . . . It also cannot be the grounds for impeachment, can it?
Let’s repeat: If it’s a core power, the exercise of the core power cannot be grounds for impeachment (*except if done in connection with taking a bribe).
In his first term, there was the threat that if President Trump fired . . .
Rosenstein Barr Fauci
That he would be prosecuted for obstruction of justice or impeached.
That threat is forever off the table now.
He can fire anyone he likes in the executive branch. The straightjacket is gone.
On that point, further, the majority opinion uses strong language consistent with the Unitary Executive theory of the Constitution. The President is “a person alone who comprises a branch of government.”
While there are areas of shared constitutional responsibility, the core powers of the Executive Branch, including personnel, are the President’s alone.
While impeachment is a political process within the Legislative Branch, and the Supreme Court is extremely hesitant to overstep their role therein, they did put this sentiment clearly into the opinion about immunity: …“The President is not above the law. But Congress may not criminalize the President’s conduct in carrying out the responsibilities of the Executive Branch under the Constitution.”…
Congress may not criminalize the conduct of the President simply for carrying out his core executive branch duties. Removal of Executive Branch officials is a core duty, an official act, carrying absolute immunity.
That newly affirmed reality is exactly why Andrew Weissmann and the Lawfare crowd are very alarmed.

After it was revealed that Attorney General Merrick Garland, the FBI and DOJ added language to their search warrant permitting the FBI to use deadly force against President Trump and/or his security detail during the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, President Trump responded with shock.
Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a motion to amend the bail conditions for President Trump on Friday night. Prosecutor Smith wants Judge Cannon to forbid President Trump from talking about the FBI agents who conducted the armed raid and used the search warrant. [PDF Court Motion Here]
There is a profound irony in Jack Smith seeking to block President Trump from talking about the FBI conduct, as the former president’s remarks might create “misleading impressions” about the details of the raid. The DOJ and FBI have been leaking “misleading impressions” to the media for almost 9 years about the FBI operation investigation of Donald Trump.
For nine years, more than 40 highly political assigned FBI agents have been fabricating stories and leaking them to the media; yet, it is President Trump who the DOJ worries might create “misleading impressions.” The issue would be farcical if the lying FBI topic was not so serious.
I mean seriously, think about it. There was never any merit, not even a scintilla of plausible merit, to the FBI baseline that Donald J. Trump was colluding with Russians to win the 2016 election. There was ZERO evidence of any type of coordination, collusion or creation of any assistance by Trump officials and any Russian people about manipulating the election. However, despite that reality, more than 40 FBI agents worked on the case(s), first with Crossfire Hurricane then with Robert Mueller for over 4 years.
[From the Mueller Report]
40 FBI agents worked a case they knew was total nonsense.
FORTY FBI AGENTS.
That’s FORTY people inside the FBI investigating something they knew was nonsense, because most of what they were investigating was fabricated by FBI agents…..
….. And Jack Smith is worried that President Trump might create a “misleading impression” by talking publicly about the behavior of those agents. ?!?!
Sometimes you just have to stand back, get away from the granular stupidity of it all, and see the insufferable nonsense for what it is.
Eliminate the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS)
Eliminate the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA)
Repeal the Patriot Act
Stop gathering and storing the private electronic records of Americans

There is rising speculation over whether prosecutors in Donald Trump’s classified documents case, Jack Smith, will attempt to have presiding Judge Aileen Cannon recused (removed) from the trial after she granted the defense access to certain unredacted classified papers. Smith wants to deny Trump any knowledge of who will testify against him. This is typical of an unethical prosecutor who manipulates judges and courts to ensure they always win and keep the highest conviction rate in the world, along with the 500% greater chance you will go to prison in the USA rather than China.
In my case, after Republic National Bank pled guilty with a deal to return all the money they stole and make all my clients whole with the promise nobody in the bank would ever go to prison, as always in New York, I filed a motion before Judge McKenna which was to compel the government to explain what were the charges since in a reverse proffer session they finally admitted I stole no money. I represented myself because they had taken my lawyers away with another parallel civil court. I filed this motion to compel the government to explain just the theory of the case. They argued this was a pro se brief, and the court could not expect them to answer because I did not know the law to defend myself. I then moved to dismiss the case since if I did not know the law to defend myself; then I could not have knowingly violated the law. Judge McKenna smiled and asked the government if they would not answer my motion now.
Since they had no answer, they went to the Chief Judge, had my case removed from Judge McKenna, and reassigned it to Judge Keenan, who instantly denied that motion. This is how these prosecutors act. The Constitution, law, due process, nothing matters to them. They MUST retain their perfect conviction rate. Jack Smith is now widely expected to pull the same maneuver. We will see if the Florida Federal Court is as corrupt as New York. Just for the record, they should have made a motion to recuse before Judge McKenna, to which I should have had the due process right to object. That was denied by the back-room deal with the Chief Judge, and then, as you can see, they sealed the records, so I cannot even see how they removed the judge.
Judge Keenan, a former prosecutor, should also have had a hearing to allow me to object to this back-room deal – he did not. The bankers told the government I had to be shut down because they were losing money in their manipulations. I had forecast that Russia would collapse in June 1998 within about 30 days. That was the collapse of the Long-Term Capital Management.
Even Edmond Safra, the owner of Republic National Bank, lost over $1 billion, so I believe he stole the funds from me and told the government he had no idea where the money was. All you had to do was go down the list of all the big players who lost billions, for they assumed if they ganged up together, they could manipulate the world. Just look at who had all loses on the same trade, and that is the evidence that they are “the club,” as I call it; they do not compete against each other but join together. If they were manufacturing cars, they would be charged under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act statutes and broken up like AT&T, etc.
When I asked a NY Lawyer why bankers are never charged? He said: “You don’t shit where you eat.“The prosecutors were so bought that no rational person would ever believe $1 billion left a bank, and they had no idea where it was. There would be a wire transfer, a check written – something! There was nothing. They could not be that stupid. This was all about shutting down my First Amendment rights and stopping the forecasting.
It became obvious when Judge Keenan dared to publicly claim I stole the idea for the ECM from the 1998 Movie Pi. They could care less about even facts when they alleged I was dealing in Japan back in 1992. I suppose I used a time machine as well. It was the forecasting they were desperately trying to discredit at all costs to support the bankers manipulating the markets and blowing up the world economy every time.
The Southern District of NY court is beyond all hope – it’s too corrupt. Judges commit felonies all the time, and they alter the transcripts, changing the very words spoken in court. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals dared to claim they lacked the power to order judges to obey the law – see US v ZICHETTELLO id/97. I argued since time means nothing and they can change the words spoken in court, they might as well say I confessed to killing JFK while they were at it and just order the death penalty since trials are a nuisance anyway. Stalin executed Kondratieff because he said there was a cycle and communism would collapse as well. He was taken from court when they ran out of reasons to imprison him and just shot him in the parking lot.
Trump does not stand a chance of winning in New York City. I have never seen the courts there EVER provide a fair trial to anyone! There is a higher probability that it will snow in Hell before Trump ever gets a fair trial in New York City. We are NOW about to see if the Florida courts are as corrupt as New York. Jack Smith will try a backroom deal and say the President needs this. Tuesday, Judge Cannon ruled in favor of Trump, stating the filing from Jack Smith:
“fails to identify the information at issue, provide any explanation about the nature of the investigation, or explain how disclosure of the code name would prejudice or jeopardize the integrity of the separate investigation (assuming it remains ongoing).“
With each passing day, this corruption is becoming so bad that the only solution becomes separation of the United States, particularly in light of the Biden Administration seeking a total dictatorship over Texas, tearing up the constitution and nullifying all State’s rights, which the Founding Fathers swore that day would NEVER come – see Federalist #46.
Without the Rule of Law – Civilization Cannot Exist.
The worst kid you ever knew in high school becomes a prosecutor.

In a three-page opinion and order [pdf Available Here], DC District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan outlines that she may be forced to pause the case against President Trump until the appellate court, and then likely the Supreme Court, make a decision on presidential immunity.
Within this opinion/order, we find the reason for Special Prosecutor Jack Smith to jump over the appellate court and ask the Supreme Court to expedite a review and determination on the issue.
The jurisdictional issue on the specifics of the pre-trial appeal is likely to slow down the trial dates being pushed by Special Prosecutor Smith. Overall, this has been a very bad day for the Lawfare team, as they run into judicial processes that cannot be facilitated by politically motivated higher courts.

In response to a media lawsuit for information being withheld by the DOJ, a heavily redacted search warrant was revealed {SEE pdf HERE}. Within the warrant issued to Twitter-Xcorp, Special Counsel Jack Smith demanded the information on every account that engaged with the Donald Trump Twitter account.
The ridiculously overbroad warrant and demand for information, was initially fought by Twitter; however, it appears the courts ultimately demanded compliance and Twitter acquiesced. That is a stunning amount of information included in the search warrant.
(New York Post) – Special counsel Jack Smith’s comprehensive search warrant for information related to former President Donald Trump’s Twitter account sought the 2024 Republican presidential primary front-runner’s search history, drafted tweets, blocks and mutes.
The special counsel also demanded a list of all devices used to log into the account and information on users interacting with Trump, heavily redacted court filings show.
The search warrant, issued in January against the company now known as X, was among several documents released by the Justice Department Monday as part of a lawsuit brought by media organizations seeking sunlight on the special counsel’s investigation into Trump’s actions leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol.
The filings shed some light on what investigators were looking for when they issued the warrant against the social media company owned by Elon Musk. (read more)
While the release of the warrant is initially surprising, it should not come as a great surprise to know the Biden government wants to generate a list of what they would consider subversives to the interests of the state.
Previously, the Obama/Biden administration, through the DOJ, used the IRS to assemble a list of people and entities against their interests. Once that revelation came to light, as a result of a whistleblower, the Obama/Biden administration then began a process of using the NSA database to monitor political opposition. Ultimately, that led to the targeting of candidate Donald Trump in 2016 and the later targeting of President Trump after his inauguration.
The Jack Smith effort is simply a continuation of a very dystopian DOJ effort.
