When I said in 2020 that House Republican representatives were generally focused on who gets the larger pieces of the cake during the office birthday party, many people just couldn’t fathom it.
With all the crisis, corruption, manipulation of government institutions, DOJ/FBI targeting and jaw-dropping weaponization that was stunningly evident, a large number of readers could not bring themselves to realize almost all House Republicans just didn’t care. Fortunately, a lot more awakening has happened in the past four years, and I think people are now more willing to accept the reality of just how bad it is in Republican ranks.
If there was just one article this month, I would like to suggest everyone read THIS ONE IN POLITICO. There’s no paywall; everyone can read it, and the context of it is, unfortunately, exactly as I would describe it myself. I have witnessed first-hand, exactly what the article covers.
On the day after the Mar-a-Lago raid in 2022, the FBI raided the home of Pennsylvania Representative Scott Perry. {DETAILS} Factually, there were a series of coordinated FBI raids and targeted inquisitions that were intentionally timed to trigger immediately after the August ’22 Trump raid.
What most people do not know was that President Trump’s former Chief of Staff, Mark Meadows essentially set up Scott Perry. After the DOJ framed the J6 events as a “national security threat,” Mark Meadows was essentially a walking FISA virus. Meadows sent Perry text messages via an encrypted Signal app, however, Signal was cooperating with the DOJ/FBI to give all communication to the targeting units of a weaponized surveillance state.
SIDEBAR: I believe Meadows knew his communication with Perry would be intercepted, because Meadows was an ¹operative for the Intelligence Community. I have pointed out the Meadows issues before. Additionally, Meadows was absolutely confirmed as John Solomon’s source from Congress and likely from the Oval Office. Meadows consistently leaked information to Hannity’s Tick Tock buddy, that the DOJ/FBI and IC wanted to see distributed.
¹Mark Meadows is a confirmed Deep State operative, and I would not bet against Solomon being a willing assistant and operative himself. [Chase his current storyline with that qualifier in mind, and you might have a different perspective. Seven years of “Breaking”, “Explosive”, “Game Changing”, “Exclusive”, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. All of it with ZERO “big boom” accountability outcomes – exactly as designed.]
SIDEBAR OVER – Back to Perry. Pennsylvania Representative Scott Perry became an FBI target in part because of his proximity to the epicenter of the AME church network voting fraud in Philadelphia [there’s a reason Biden goes there all the time], and in part because Perry was a supporter of President Trump and didn’t buy the illogical 2020 election outcome narrative. {NYT Link}
Well, last week House Speaker Mike Johnson appointed Scott Perry to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, or HPSCI as it is known. Despite the MAGA reps supporting this selection, my hunch is that President Trump was the voice who leveraged Johnson to make this happen. Now, the non-MAGA professional Republicans in the House are going bananas.
The backlash against the appointment of Perry to the HPSCI is a remarkable dose of sunlight upon all of the Republican deep state operatives in the House of Representatives. Texas Rep Dan Crenshaw is so filled with rage he can’t see straight.
WASHINGTON DC – […] Crenshaw, a member of the Intelligence panel, added: “The speaker needs to remember that there isn’t only one group that can threaten them. … Just do not teach the lesson that the only way for us to be effective here is threatening, because I’ll take the lesson and I’ll do it.”
[…] Beyond Crenshaw, a person familiar with the sitdowns said two separate groups of Republicans met with Johnson this week to share their frustrations about Perry’s appointment. That includes members of the Intelligence Committee who plan to meet with him on Thursday.
One Republican, who was granted anonymity to speak candidly, said no previous committee assignment has sparked as much internal anger as Johnson’s decision about Perry.
Another GOP member added that Perry’s appointment “was the talk for a day or two” among Republicans during their recent trip to France because of how “angry” lawmakers are.
“There’s a lot of pissed people. A lot of angry people. (read more)
Pour in the sunlight…. This is good stuff. We need to find out exactly which Republicans are angered by the appointment of Perry to the HPSCI. The problem is much bigger than the insufferable Dan Crenshaw.
Beyond the details of this story, stand back and look at the larger picture of how the HPSCI seats were historically assigned, against the background of how stunningly bad the HPSCI has been at holding the HPSCI Democrats like Adam Schiff to account. Let yourself think about this.
Everyone gets frustrated by the insufferable ineptitude of the House Republicans who appear on committees, and as a consequence appear on television asking the wrong questions. Well, overlay the silo problem with the reality that Republican House accountability processes (committee assignments) are determined by seniority and who plays nicely in DC.

Steven Bannon is the former White House Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor to President Donald Trump. Mr Bannon currently hosts The War Room podcast on Rumble and is very familiar to CTH readers.
Steve Bannon was subpoenaed by the politically motivated J6 Committee, then referred for criminal prosecution when he refused to comply with their demands citing “executive privilege.” After a political trial and DC conviction, last week a federal judge instructed Bannon to report to prison on July 1st to begin his 4-month sentence for the misdemeanor crime of refusing to comply with a congressional subpoena. The entire background is completely enmeshed in political targeting.

I have returned from a two-week tour in Europe, and I can tell you that both the LEFT and RIGHT in European governments are appalled at this trial that Trump has been subjected to especially after I wrote to explain that Juan Manuel Merchan is not an actual judge but is only a prosecutor “ACTING” as a judge. Most curious, since Merchan is NOT a formal judge and is ONLY an acting justice of the New York State Supreme Court in New York County, this raises serious questions given his clear conflicts of interest. How did a former prosecutor become not just an ACTING judge but also be assigned to this case? New York City is a cesspool of corruption dating back to the days when the Mafia installed their judges to rule the city.
This is not just a possible rigged proceeding; it is also UNCONSTITUTIONAL insofar as the alleged crime is a federal crime when this ACTING JUDGE has no subject matter jurisdiction in a state court to preside over a federal crime. This is smelling increasingly like a political hit job to interfere in the 2024 election.
Acting Judge Merchan has now emailed both sides in this UNCONSTITUTIONAL “Hush Money” Business Records Felony Case of Donald Trump, alerting them to a potential problem with the Jury. Merchan sent an email notifying both sides that Jurors are not permitted to commence deliberations until AFTER the case ends. They were also not to discuss the case with each other or with outsiders prior to the case ending.
This Judge needs an escape route, for I can confirm institutions are getting out of NYC because of this case. Merchan now informs that almost ALL the jurors in the Trump trial broke those two instructions from the court not to discuss the case. Apparently, one Juror told his cousin that “Trump is getting convicted” one day before the conviction took place unless they all discussed the case and decided before it was over.
Merchan People v DJT 6-7-24 Letter to Parties
Here is Merchan’s letter to both parties. It is brief and notifies them of a comment posted to the New York State Court System’s Facebook page.
“Today, the Court became aware of a comment that was posted on the Unified Court System’s public Facebook page and which I now bring to your attention. In the comment, the user, ‘Michael Anderson,’ states: ‘My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted. Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!”
The posting also included a party emoji and a heart emoji, suggesting that the purported poster was happy with the verdict.
“The comment, now labeled as one week old, responded to a routine UCS notice, posted on May 29, 2024, regarding oral arguments” in an unrelated case in the court’s Appellate Division, Merchan wrote.
The Manhattan jury voted unanimously on May 31 – two days after that – to convict the former president of falsifying business records to hide a hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Trump is the first former U.S. president convicted of a crime. Clearly, this is a mistrial. The BILLION DOLLAR QUESTION is, will this judge dismiss the case now because it was clearly for political purposes when Bill Clinton paid $850,000 to silence also a sexual allegation compared to $130,000 for Stormy Daniels?
Merchan is now in a dark room historically and is trying to find the door, which is the emergency exit for the way out, but the sign is not lit. This is his escape exit =- but will he take it? Trump could NEVER get a fair trial in New York City – they do not exist! The polls have not turned against Trump, and he has used this to demonstrate that Biden has weaponized the law to try to hold on to power for the Neocons. They know they cannot use this pretend conviction, especially now, as a talking point. If anything, this PROVES that Trump can NEVER get a fair trial in NYC, Washington DC, or Georgia. Even in the Florida case, this also UNCONSTITUTIONALLY appointed Special Prosecutor who is not a prosecutor, not sanctioned or reviewed by Congress, and unsupervised by the DOJ, indicted Trump for the Florida case using a Washington DC Grand Jury. The Sixth Amendment states you must be charged where the crime occurred – that is, Florida – not Washington, DC. –“WHICH DISTRICT SHALL HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY ASCERTAINED BY LAW”
The entire purpose of the Sixth Amendment was that the King would indict you in England for a crime he alleged took place in the Colonies. You would be taken to London in chains, thrown in prison, starved, and then put on trial in England, where the jury was already prejudiced against Colonists as New York City was against Trump. This is what has to be gutted. The government should NEVER be able to bring criminal charges – EVER, except for acts directly against the government. All other “crimes” between two private people should be off-limits!!!!
That was the Magna Carta, and when the King was forced to end his tyranny of fining people for revenue, that is when he changed the law to still get fines. He transformed a private dispute “disturbed his peace” and reinstituted his tyranny as we are witnessing today against Trump. Even in the case of the assets, the prosecutors, NOT THE BANKS, alleged that Trump overvalued his assets to reduce his interest costs. Who was the pretend victim? The banks said they were fine. Once again, we must end this reign of legal terrorism, which has always surfaced and stained the legal system with perpetual LEGAL PERSECUTION. It is time for a change.
There’s just something very sketchy about this public release of information from Judge Merchan in New York City. Merchan doesn’t have an integrity bone and the comment he is bringing attention toward is innocuous and random. However, Merchan could be trying to get Trump to violate the gag order aspect and talk about jurors; thereby making the sentencing worse.
According to information Merchan is providing the lawyers in the Trump case, a comment was made on the court’s FaceBook page indicating one of the jurors said the Trump guilty verdict was predetermined. [SOURCE] “My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted. Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!”
Why would Judge Merchan want to draw public attention to this?
Either something bigger is being diluted by this story, or perhaps Merchan is using it as a provocation to get Trump to talk about the jury and violate his gag order ahead of sentencing.
Or, perhaps Merchan is looking to create a mistrial to exit the case, or do it over again and extend the gag order. Also, why not include the entire quote from the Facebook Page:
Not sure what’s going on, but something. Something….

Suspicious Cat remains, well, suspicious.
The Supreme Court has 28 decisions still remaining, and there are a lot of really important cases that will shape history. The next opinion day will be June 13; this 2023-2024 term ends on June 28th. Buried within these 28 cases is the only one regarding deference to agencies known as the Chevron decision. Many hope that will be overruled, which will be a victory for the private sector, as well as the rulings on the abortion pill mifepristone. However, the political game changer will be former President Donald Trump’s presidential immunity. The court heard oral arguments in Trump v. United States on April 25.
It’s going to be a real legal mess, to say the least. I noticed that we had a Directional Change show up for announcement day – June 13th. That is very unusual, for it is the FIRST time I have ever seen the computer highlight on a Supreme Court announcement day. The Panic Cycle on the 17th is also showing up in the Euro.
However, the FOMC meeting at the Federal Reserve is on the 11-12th. When we look at the 30-year bond, we can see a Panic Cycle and a Directional Change for the 12th. The computer has been able to forecast even FOMC meetings. Interestingly, we also have a panic cycle showing up on the 12th in some European markets. Add to this mess, we have the EU elections on June 9th.
The decision, especially on the Trump Immunity case, may have the biggest impact. Many people thought that the Supreme Court would remand it and instruct the district court to parse what is and what is not an official act. If the Supreme Court was going to do that, it would have a quick decision. This opens the door to two possibilities.
(1) The court will state that Trump has virtually absolute immunity. That is probably the wisest decision that would wipe out all cases against Trump. If this is NOT done, then there will be a very dangerous precedent, and you can bet that denying that immunity to Trump can then be used against Biden and even Obama if he intervenes in the current election. Granting virtual absolute immunity will save the USA from weaponizing the DOJ and transforming the nation into a banana republic. You can bet WHATEVER they have done to Trump, the other side will do to Biden et al.
(2) The Special Prosecutor has NO jurisdiction to do what he is doing. He was not appointed by Congress nor confirmed. He was a special appointment by the DOJ, and he actually does not even fall under prosecutorial immunity himself. That would be a valid decision that would end the Washington and Florida cases.
Steve Bannon is appealing a contempt of Congress indictment and guilty verdict based on an executive privilege defense. Today Mr. Bannon was told to report to federal jail July 1st to begin his 4-month prison sentence.
Following the ruling from the judge, Steve Bannon and his lawyers spoke to the assembled media pool. WATCH:
It looks like the Lawfare case against President Donald Trump is not going to happen prior to the election. Considering that Fani Willis met with Mary McCord prior to filing this case against Trump, we can directly trace the origin of the Georgia case to congress and the White House.
The appellate court in Georgia is currently reviewing the professional conduct of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. As the court is deciding whether to disqualify Ms. Willis from the cases (very likely), the court has suspended all further action by Fulton County against any of the defendants.
The Lawfare community (McCord, Weissmann, Eisen and MSNBC, CNN et al) are apoplectic at this decision by the court.
WASHINGTON – A Georgia appeals court has halted all pretrial proceedings in Donald Trump’s Atlanta-based criminal case while a three-judge panel considers whether to disqualify the lead prosecutor, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
The order issued Wednesday effectively confirms that the sprawling racketeering case against Trump and more than a dozen codefendants — charging them with an attempt to corrupt Georgia’s 2020 election results — will not come before a jury in 2024.
The case had already seemed like a longshot to go to trial before this year’s presidential election, with a long list of complicated pretrial matters still pending before Judge Scott McAfee. The Georgia appeals court order blocks McAfee from advancing those issues while Trump and other defendants mount an appeal over allegations of ethical lapses by Willis. That appeal is scheduled for oral arguments on Oct. 4, with a decision from the appellate court likely to take several months after that.
For Trump, it’s another vindication of his well-worn strategy to delay his criminal cases until after the election. If he prevails in November, he’s unlikely to face the Georgia case until 2029 — if at all — because many legal experts believe a state cannot constitutionally prosecute a sitting president. As president, Trump would also have the power to unravel the other two languishing criminal cases against him, both brought by special counsel Jack Smith. (read more)
Congressman Matt Gaetz seemingly cuts across the UniParty grain at key moments; perhaps today is another example. The better part of good public questioning is not just what question is asked, but also how the question is asked.
The back-and-forth questioning does not need to be performative to be substantial, it only needs to express the same frame of mind that a viewer would have on the subject matter. If your gut has a sense about an issue and the questioner conveys that same gut-level sentiment honestly, it puts the person being questioned into a non-pretending corner.
AG Merrick Garland says it’s a “dangerous conspiracy theory” to allege that the Department of Justice is communicating with state and local prosecutions against Trump. But former senior DOJ official Matthew Colangelo was appointed Senior Counsel to District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office to “get Trump” – as detailed in Mark Pomerantz’s book. Congressman Matt Gaetz asks the non-pretending version of the questions. WATCH:
