DOJ Asks Judge to Keep Affidavit for Search Warrant Used Against President Trump Sealed from Public Review


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on August 15, 2022 | Sundance

If the search warrant affidavit was revealed to the public, the DOJ Lawfare tribe targeting Trump – within the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD), could not keep the benefit of selective leaks to their media stenographers.  It would be more difficult to frame the narrative.  [DOJ Filing pdf HERE]

On Thursday August 11th, Attorney General Merrick Garland said the justice department was committed to transparency in order to retain their integrity with the American public.  On Monday August 15th, Attorney General Garland asked the court to keep the records sealed.   The six-year pattern continues….

WASHINGTON DC – “If disclosed, the affidavit would serve as a roadmap to the government’s ongoing investigation, providing specific details about its direction and likely course, in a manner that is highly likely to compromise future investigative steps,” U.S. Attorney Juan Gonzalez and Justice Department counterintelligence chief Jay Bratt said in a filing urging the continued secrecy of the affidavit.

“The fact that this investigation implicates highly classified materials further underscores the need to protect the integrity of the investigation and exacerbates the potential for harm if information is disclosed to the public prematurely or improperly,” the DOJ officials wrote.

CBS Caught Scripting Fake News, Narrative Engineer Norah O’Donnell

CBS narrative engineer Norah O’Donnell made the rounds today proclaiming the DOJ did not seize President Trump’s passports. At least that was the carefully constructed narrative within her messaging. LOOK: [Tweet Link]

Pretty cut and dry effort there.   “The FBI is not in possession of former President Trump’s passports.” “Trump had accused the FBI of stealing his three passports”…

Ten minutes later this statement from CBS Kelly O’Donnell.  LOOK:  [Tweet Link]

Riddle me this…

How does the Dept of Justice return something they did not take?

Washington DC journalism is stenography for the democrat regime.  Nothing more.

The Inflation Reduction Act is “Orwellian”


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Aug 16, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Experts have stated that the Inflation Reduction Act will not reduce inflation in any meaningful way. So why is the White House spending $739 billion on this failed act? They have no idea! No Republican voted to pass the act, and the Democrats are yet again spending recklessly without reason.

The Congressional Budget Office analyzed the proposal and found it negligible at best. In fact, the CBO believes inflation could possibly rise in 2023 due to this expensive proposal. Estimates range from the act reducing inflation by 0.1% to increasing it by 0.1%. Furthermore, the Obamacare subsidies will be given to families earning up to $304,000 annually who do not need government handouts. The CBO also found that the 15% corporate tax minimum within the proposal will hurt businesses and prevent them from expanding.

“When you look at your next paycheck, remember that the Democrats voted to spend $740,000,000,000 of your hard-earned money to double the size of the IRS and to pay for their reckless tax & spending spree,” Senator Thom Tillis tweeted. So why is the White House expected to pass this legislation?

ABC News anchor Jonathan Karl questioned clueless White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre. “But let me ask you, it’s called the ‘Inflation Reduction Act,’ but the Congressional Budget Office, which is nonpartisan, said that there would be a negligible impact on inflation this year and barely impact inflation at all next year, isn’t it almost Orwellian?” Karl asked. “How can you call it inflation reduction when the nonpartisan experts say it’s not gonna bring inflation down?”

Jean-Pierre did not have an answer. She simply stated that the proposal is “making sure that billions in corporate America are paying their fair share.” We know from data that the IRS will target everyone and has historically gone after lower-income Americans. Another Democrat-backed reckless spending bill that taxpayers will pay for without ever having the opportunity to cast a vote.

Wyoming and Alaska Primary Elections Tomorrow – Liz Cheney and Lisa Murkowski Face MAGA Challengers


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on August 15, 2022 | Sundance

One-way voters in Wyoming and Alaska could sound a resounding message of support for President Trump would be to succeed in the primary challenges to Liz Cheney (U-Wyoming) and Lisa Murkowski (U-Alaska) on Tuesday.

WASHINGTON – Cheney faces daunting prospects in her effort to fend off the Trump-backed Harriet Hageman, increasingly looking at a life beyond Capitol Hill that could include a possible presidential campaign. Murkowski, however, is expected to advance from her primary and is already planning to compete in the November general election.

The anticipated outcomes at least partially stem from the nuanced politics of each state. Wyoming is a Republican stronghold, delivering Trump his strongest victory of any state in the 2020 campaign. Alaska, meanwhile, has a history of rewarding candidates with an independent streak.

But Murkowski enjoys an additional advantage in the way elections are being conducted in Alaska this year. Winner-take-all party primaries, like the one Cheney is facing, have been replaced by a voter-approved process in which all candidates are listed together. The four who get the most votes, regardless of party affiliation, advance to the general election in which ranked voting will be used.

Murkowski benefits from avoiding a Republican primary, “which she would have had a zero percent — I mean zero percent — chance of winning,” said Alaska pollster Ivan Moore.

Murkowski has 18 challengers in her primary, the most prominent being Republican Kelly Tshibaka, whom Trump has endorsed. (READ MORE)

FBI Seized President Trump Passports During Raid on Mar-a-Lago


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on August 15, 2022 | Sundance

Earlier this afternoon President Donald Trump revealed yet another shocking piece of information related to the FBI’s raid of his private residence in Mar-a-Lago.  Sharing in a post written on Truth Social President Trump notes, “In the raid by the FBI of Mar-a-Lago, they stole my three Passports (one expired), along with everything else. This is an assault on a political opponent at a level never seen before in our Country. Third World!”

The unprecedented DOJ and FBI assault against President Trump continues.  President Trump gave an interview to Fox News to discuss:

(Via FOX) – […]  In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital on Monday morning, his first since the raid, Trump said he had his representatives reach out to the Justice Department to offer to help amid outrage over the FBI’s unprecedented raid on his private residence last week, in which agents seized classified records, including some marked as top secret. Trump is disputing the classification of those records, saying the records have been declassified.

“The country is in a very dangerous position. There is tremendous anger, like I’ve never seen before, over all of the scams, and this new one — years of scams and witch hunts, and now this,” Trump said.

“If there is anything we can do to help, I, and my people, would certainly be willing to do that,” Trump said.

“There has never been a time like this where law enforcement has been used to break into the house of a former president of the United States, and there is tremendous anger in the country — at a level that has never been seen before, other than during very perilous times,” Trump said.

Trump told Fox News that his team “has not heard yet” from the Justice Department on whether they will accept his offer for help.

“I think they would want the same thing — I’ve never seen anything like this,” Trump said. “It is a very dangerous time for our country.”

He added: “I will do whatever I can to help the country.”

Trump, reflecting on the “years of fake witch hunts and phony Russia, Russia, Russia schemes and scams,” said that “nothing happens to those people who perpetuate that — nothing happens with them.”  (read more)

Something Smells About the Raid of Trump


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Aug 14, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Back in October 2020, Trump issued had issued a major declassification order for every Russiagate document. He also included every former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton document to be declassified. Sources in Washington suggest that the National Archives is playing politics and has ignored the declassification of all the RussiaGate documents. The raid of Trump appears to be a move to protect the full disclosure of what took place under RussiaGate. This may get far worse if the true scope of the seized documents ends up being revealed. Let’s see what surfaces. The president has the power to declassify any document. This is raising serious questions as to what is going on at the National Archieves.

It is Official, Jill Biden’s Wardrobe Consultant is Kamala Harris’ Speechwriter

There is no other reasonable explanation that makes sense.  [LINK]  Jill Biden’s wardrobe consultant/clothier must also be Kamala Harris’ speechwriter.

This much fail cannot possibly come from two different people.  [IMAGE LINK]

Also, why are they letting Jill Biden steal snow globes from the souvenir shop?
