Read the Indictment Against Henry Cuellar to Understand Why Congress Never Challenges the Intelligence Community


Posted originally on the CTH on May 6, 2024 | Sundance 

There is a rather remarkable indictment against congressman Henry Cuellar (D-Texas, CD-28) that everyone should read.  You might remember that Cuellar was openly critical of the Biden border crisis in the latter half of 2021.  Approximately a few weeks after Cuellar was openly and strongly criticizing Biden, FBI agents raided his home {BACKSTORY}.

At the time of the FBI raid (January 2022), everyone noted the visible connection between Cuellar’s criticism of Biden and the launch of the DOJ investigation against him.  The timing was just too convenient.

Last Friday an indictment was unsealed.  Representative Cuellar and his wife are each charged with two counts of conspiracy to commit bribery of a federal official and to have a public official act as an agent of a foreign principal, two counts of bribery of a federal official, two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, two counts of violating the ban on public officials acting as agents of a foreign principal, one count of conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering, and five counts of money laundering.

Interestingly, the charges and the activity date back to 2014 and continue over the next ten years culminating in the indictment a decade later.

I would strongly urge people to read THE 54-PAGE INDICTMENT.

What you realize when you read the indictment is exactly what we have talked about on these pages for well over a decade, the business end of American politics.  Cuellar and his wife are a case study in how the average federal politician gets wealthy from selling their office.

All of the DC politicians participate in this type of influence selling.  There are ZERO federal elected officials who do not participate in this process.  And within that dynamic, we find the answer to how the Intelligence Community exists to control all of the DC political systems without any checks in their authority.

One of the primary reasons the Intelligence Community was so fast to join the effort to eliminate the threat Donald Trump, represented in 2016, was specifically due to the lack of corrupt activity (IC blackmail) that could be leveraged against him.  Absent the ability to control the target, the IC must create leverage.

The intelligence institutions, in collaboration with the weaponized justice institutions, created the fourth branch of government.  It was this system that was fine-tuned by Barack Obama and Eric Holder to target their political opposition.

Representative Henry Cuellar is a warning to the other compromised people in Washington DC not to challenge the administrative state.  The “six ways to Sunday” groups will focus on anyone who threatens the system or breaks the code of Omerta.

Don’t read anyone else’s interpretation of it; instead, read the indictment [SEE HERE].   Then ask yourself if the DOJ/FBI knew this stuff for so long, why did they wait? 

“I want to be clear that both my wife and I are innocent of these allegations. Everything I have done in Congress has been to serve the people of South Texas,” Cuellar said in his statement, later adding: “The actions I took in Congress were consistent with the actions of many of my colleagues and in the interest of the American people.” (LINK)

Trump Company Comptroller Testifies He Alone Determined to Classify Cohen Payment as “Legal Expense” Never Had Conversation with President Trump About It


Posted originally on the CTH on May 6, 2024 | Sundance

In a normally functioning democracy (constitutional republic), the testimony today by Trump corporate comptroller Jeff McConney would end the ridiculous “hush money” case.  McConney testified he alone was the one who instructed the accounting department to classify payments to Michael Cohen as “legal expenses.”

This entire premise of the silly NY City case against Donald Trump is predicated on the claim candidate Trump had the payments classified as legal expenses to hide the hush money payment.  If Trump didn’t determine the classification, the case should collapse.  Alas, we all know what this Lawfare is really about.

Activist Judge Juan Merchan Threatens to Jail President Trump for Gag Order Violations as Part of Political Lawfare Strategy


Posted originally on the CTH on May 6, 2024 | Sundance

So far, these ridiculous Lawfare attacks against President Donald Trump have backfired and generated more support.  The reasoning for this reaction from the polled public is simple; the more the weaponized state and judicial system attacks President Trump, the clearer the dynamic of the 2024 election becomes.

The radicals amid the Lawfare operation consistently disregard the intelligence of the average American; however, it should be noted talking down to people is a common trait amid most leftists who consider themselves more intelligent than the people they talk about.  As the operatives use transparently ridiculous Lawfare to attack President Trump, the dynamic of the race changes.

2024 is no longer about Republicans vs Democrats.  The 2024 race is now framed as ‘truthful voting Americans fighting against a corrupt and weaponized government supported by a corrupt political UniParty system – Republicans and Democrats alike.

As Mary McCord, Andrew Weissmann and Norm Eisen design the Lawfare narrative executed by District Attorney Alvin Bragg and NYC activist Judge Juan Merchan, the Lawfare crew underestimate the intelligence of the American electorate. Today, Merchan threatens to jail President Trump [SEE JUDGEMENT HERE] for violating the gag order they need in order to continue their Lawfare attacks.

Today Judge Merchan held President Trump in contempt for one of four statements prosecutors claimed were gag order violations. The ‘infraction’ was a comment Trump made about the jury, April 22 on a radio show called “Just the News, No Noise.”  President Trump responded to a question saying, “That jury was picked so fast — 95 percent Democrats.”  This retort, the judge claims, is a violation:

“Defendant violated the Order by making public statements about the jury and how it was selected. In doing so, Defendant not only called into question the integrity, and therefore the legitimacy of these proceedings, but again raised the specter of fear for the safety of the jurors and of their loved ones.”  [Page 4, pdf]

According to Politico the judge also said: “It’s important to understand that the last thing I want to do is to put you in jail. You are a former president of the United States and possibly a future president, as well. … There are many reasons why incarceration is truly a last step for me,” the judge said.

“I also worry about the people who would have to execute that sanction,” Merchan added, referring to jail personnel, the Secret Service and others. “At the end of the day I have a job to do — part of that job is to protect the dignity of the judicial system.” (LINK)

Peak Mueller – DOJ Concealing Legal Predicate to Investigate Congressional Staff in 2017


Posted originally on the CTH on May 5, 2024 | Sundance 

Jason Foster has filed an interesting “motion to intervene” in a court filing against the DOJ effort to keep the legal rationale for a 2017 subpoena hidden. tldr version HERE

Mr Jason Foster was one of Chuck Grassley’s congressional lawyers on the Senate Judiciary Committee and a key Grassley research staffer when the background of the DOJ/FBI spygate operation against Donald Trump was at its apex.

In a COURT FILING Jason Foster notes in September 2017 the DOJ requested and received a court order which it leveraged against Google and Big Tech to gain access to the phone and electronic data of House and Senate staff members. The DOJ then filed Non Disclosure Orders (NDOs) blocking the notification of the target(s), in this example Mr Foster himself.   Foster wants to know what justification the DOJ gave the judge to get the warrants and subpoena.

I find this motion/filing exceptionally interesting because the originating DOJ action was in September ’17, when the Mueller cover-up was in full bloom, the Mueller team essentially controlled all of Main Justice (per Rosenstein testimony) and the effort of the DOJ was to keep a bag over the FBI/DOJ activity in the 2016 election.

As Jeff Carlson notes, the “DOJ has kept sealed their “legal rationale” for targeting the communications of congressional staff attorneys for GOP oversight committees.”

Foster notes this DOJ subpoena appears related to the leak of the “Top Secret” FISA application used against Carter Page.  The media received that leak in March 2107, and the FBI (Washington Field Office) was investigating how the TS-SCI classified leak originated.  At the same time, the DOJ (“Mueller team”), now in September 2017, had a vested interest monitoring ‘who knew what’ not only about the leak (James Wolfe and Mark Warner), but also about the motives of the special counsel coverup operation.

In the filing, Empower Oversight writes:

“At the time DOJ began collecting their communications records, Mr. Foster and his fellow colleagues on both sides of the aisle were communicating with confidential sources and whistleblowers whose willingness to share information with Congress is essential to its oversight function. The Legislative Branch has a constitutional interest in protecting the identity of those confidential sources and whistleblower just as journalists do under the First Amendment. Yet due to the secrecy demanded by DOJ, and granted ex parte by the Court, the nondisclosure orders deprived Congress of an opportunity to object at the time or even to know until years later that telecommunications providers had complied. Providers like Google, and perhaps even the Court, yielded to DOJ demands for secrecy without knowing the full context and constitutional implications of the subpoenas.” (more)

The Mark Warner and James Wolfe leak of the FISA application to media was one of the biggest untold stories of the 2017 Trump targeting and DC coverup operation.  Factually, the media had the full and unredacted FISA application from March 17, 2017, throughout all of their pretense reporting as if they didn’t know the details.

The greatest likelihood is that Mueller’s team headed by Andrew Weissmann wanted to keep tabs on who in Washington DC was circling the truth.  The subpoena against Jason Foster and other House and Senate committee lawyers and staff would help the DOJ keep tabs on who knew the details at a very key time in the coverup operation.

Within Main Justice DOJ at the time Andrew Weissmann (Mueller team) would want to know what Chuck Grassley and Devin Nunes had uncovered and who would potentially be assisting them.

The DOJ search warrants in Sept 2017 (the warrants of interest to Jason Foster) likely do not relate directly to the James Wolfe investigation, despite the timeline being very similar.  U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu from the USAO in Washington DC was conducting the Wolfe investigation and the Washington Field Office (WFO), FBI Agent Brian Dugan was the lead investigative unit.  These subpoenas were something else.

Strong Segment – Steve Bannon and Julie Kelly Discuss Mar-a-Lago Documents Case – Lawfare Backstopped by Judge Aileen Cannon


Posted originally on the CTH on April 30, 2024 | Sundance

This is a good overall encapsulation by Julie Kelly and to a lesser extent Steve Bannon about what Judge Aileen Cannon is doing with the Jack Smith “documents” case in Florida.

Kelly notes accurately {See Background} that Judge Aileen Cannon is somewhat limited on what she can do about the federal government case due to the DOJ using the false pretense of “national security” to control how the judicial branch can interact with the lawfare construct of the executive branch.  The Lawfare crew intentionally created the “national security” angle to control all sides of the case and limit the release of information to the public.

Judge Cannon has recently been releasing and un-redacting documents and motions filed in the case to allow disinfecting sunlight and transparency to enter. This approach undercuts the prosecution manipulation, the DOJ does not like it.   Julie Kelly outlines some of the details that Cannon’s releases have highlighted.  {Direct Rumble Link}

At the 12:00 minute mark, Steve Bannon highlights his anger as he rails against congress and the staff of multiple committees who participate in the willful blindness and pretending game.

After noticing how congress is mute about the revelations that Cannon is providing, Bannon notes the republicans are essentially anti-Trump and controlled opposition, which is essentially accurate…. However, he’s just now noticing this?

It is a little annoying to see Mr. Bannon discuss outrage as a manipulative tactic {Chaffe and Countermeasures}, considering the years of outrage traps laid by the republicans in the Deep State against President Trump.  The latest effort by congress pretending not to notice, and then staying quiet, is not exactly a surprise.

Think about two sets of documents as evidence against two teams working in synergy. Team one (Clinton) was outside government. Team two (DOJ/FBI) was inside government. The documents the DOJ/FBI were urgently searching to retrieve pertained to both groups but were also divided. That helps to explain the wording of the memo below and the motive behind the DOJ/FBI using the General Services Administration (GSA) and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) as tools to conduct post-Trump-term physical surveillance and searches.

Here’s the Occam’s Razor…. and I will only say this once.  A lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and the Spygate manipulators was filed in 2022. [LINK HERE]

The lawsuit was filed against specific persons, and most of those persons were interviewed by the FBI as part of the originating investigation.  Within the subjects of the lawsuit, we find names and groups including:

Hillary Clinton, Hillary for America Campaign Committee, DNC, DNC Services Corp, Perkins Coie, Michael Sussmann, Marc Elias, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Charles Dolan, Jake Sullivan, John Podesta, Robby Mook, Phillipe Reines as well as Fusion GPS, Glenn Simpson, Peter Fritsch, Nellie Ohr, Bruce Ohr, Orbis Business Intelligence, Christopher Steele, Igor Danchenko, Neustar Inc., Rodney Joffe, James Comey Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Kevin Clinesmith and Andrew McCabe.

Once the lawsuit against CLINTON/FBI was filed, the background physical paper evidence no longer needed to be in the possession of the person(s) who wrote the lawsuit (physical possession).  [LINK HERE] Simple thumb-drives would suffice.

Activist Judge Merchan Fines President Trump $9,000 for Violating Court Gag Order in New York City Case


Posted originally on the CTH on April 30, 2024 | Sundance 

Judge Juan Merchan has openly targeted President Trump on behalf of the clients for the judge’s daughter Loren Merchan. Ms Merchan is president of Authentic Campaigns, a Chicago-based progressive political consulting firm who represents the interests of Democrat politicians.

NEW YORK – Donald Trump was held in contempt by Justice Juan Merchan Tuesday morning for social media posts and other statements the former president made that violated a gag order imposed in his Manhattan criminal case.

The judge ordered Trump to pay a $9,000 fine — $1,000 for each violation. And he warned Trump that additional violations could land him in jail.

“Defendant is hereby warned that the Court will not tolerate willful violations of its lawful orders and that if necessary and appropriate under the circumstances, it will impose an incarceratory punishment,” the judge wrote in an eight-page decision. (more)

Smith & Merrick Garland of DOJ Have NO Constitutional Authority to Prosecute Trump – PERIOD!!!!


Posted Apr 29, 2024 By Martin Armstrong 

Justice Thomas

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, You may be a trader, but your understanding of constitutional law far surpasses that of most attorneys. I heard your father was also such a man. As you have raised, Justice Thomas even asked if Trump’s lawyer, John Sauer, had questioned Smith’s power to prosecute any president. Justice Thomas asked, “Did you, in this litigation, challenge the appointment of special counsel?”   He said “We hadn’t raised it yet in this case when this case went up on appeal.” This is shocking. Justice Kavanaugh also chimed in along the same lines, warning as you do that this will establish an unending precedent. Justice Gorsuch commented that the court is “writing a rule for the ages.” Are Trump’s lawyers deliberately throwing this case?

WL

McCarthyism

REPLY: Yes, I grew up with debates and discussions about the Constitution. My father was a brilliant many who inspired me to discover history. It was the Age of McCarthy who was ignoring everything just to win as they are doing today. As I have said, Article I, Section 6, Clause 1 prohibits the arrest of a Congressman or Senator to interfere in their vote. The president cannot be the exception. Article II, Section 4 makes it very clear that ONLY Congress can charge the President, and he can ONLY be put on trial in the Senate:

 The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

I really do not understand fighting on immunity when they should be fighting on the lack of subject matter jurisdiction to appoint some prosecutor who is UNELECTED and UNSUPERVISED by the Senate, and he can bring charges against a president who interferes in the 2024 election. This is not going to look good historically. Justice Kavanaugh is very smart, and he understands precedents well. He explained: “It’s going to cycle back and be used against the current president or the next president … and the next president and the next president after that.” Justice Gorsuch’s comment that they are “writing a rule for the ages” is absolutely correct.

I am very disappointed in Trump’s lawyers – VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smith Garland


Merrick Garland and Jack Smith acted as Traitors and should be prosecuted for their actions without any authority for violating their oaths to uphold the Constitution. This would be true even against prosecuting Biden. That must rest in the hands of the House to Impeach (Indict) and the Senate to put on trial in both cases. I am shocked that nobody in Congress has moved to IMPEACH both men, and they should be put on trial themselves.

The Constitution specifically identifies what constitutes treason against the United States and, importantly, limits the offense of treason to only two types of conduct: (1) “levying war” against the United States or (2) “adhering to [the] enemies [of the United States], giving them aid and comfort.”  In the good old days of England, Garland and Smith would have been hanged for treason. The Court held in Cramer v. United States 325 U.S. 1 (1945) that they MUST have given aid and comfort to an enemy. You may sympathize with an enemy’s view but you must also commit an act of comfort to the enemy, else there is no treason. This raises the question of Treason domestically when what they are doing is trying to aid the foreign economic policy of Karl Marx – a socialist. I cannot see how nobody has challenged in court that their redistributing wealth violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution.

T Shirt Land of Free

We cannot have liberty and justice for all, and then we claim that monetary means are the exception so we can discriminate by class. This is so hypocritical it goes right to the foundation of liberty and equal protection of the law. I have studied INTERNATIONAL LAW and how it has evolved since ancient times.

Biden War

This is not being partisan. We are indeed staring into the eyes of the ABSOLUTE death of the United States. This is why these people want Biden; he is senile and lets them do whatever they want. They are bringing down the United States, and we are looking at not just writing a rule for the ages; we are looking at the total collapse of the United States. These people hate Trump so much that they are destroying everything the Founding Fathers envisioned, all for personal corruption.
