The Trump administration is experiencing an unprecedented move by federal judges who are overstepping their constitutional limits and ordering Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs) against President Trump. The judicial activism is in support of ongoing Lawfare operations within the deepest ranks of the administrative state.
Remember, Lawfare in its purest form is not designed to win the final legal battle. Instead, it is a construct to use the law to create obstacles that will eventually fall under higher judicial review; but the larger intent is to impede the presidency, stall the inevitable, and maintain morale for the political activists and their media support systems. Lawfare is a political construct intended to manipulate public opinion.
In the Dellinger v Bessent case, where President Trump has fired Hampton Dellinger at Treasury, a three-judge District of Columbia, Circuit Court, have intervened and maintained a TRO against President Trump blocking him from removing Dellinger from his position as Special Counsel of the Office of Special Counsel, at the Treasury Dept. [CASE pdf HERE]
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington, D.C. issued a temporary restraining order on February 12, restoring Dellinger to his position pending a further, preliminary order. The District of Columbia U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals threw out the administration’s appeal in a 2-1 decision on Saturday, saying it was premature, given that Jackson’s order was only temporary.
Judge Florence Pan and Judge J Michelle Childs, both activist robed women, ruled to maintain the TRO and deny injunctive appellate relief. Judge Gregory Katsas dissented from the Lawfare decision saying while TRO’s are not usually appealable, in this instance the TRO violates the Article II constitutional power of the President to conduct his official duties. [Dissent Outlined Below] Katsas would have granted the government’s stay.
Regardless of the DC Circuit Court decision, Acting Solicitor General Sarah Harris has now filed an “APPLICATION TO VACATE THE ORDER ISSUED BY THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA AND REQUEST FOR AN IMMEDIATE ADMINISTRATIVE STAY” with the Supreme Court. [pdf HERE] The application by Acting SG Harris relies heavily on the dissenting opinion of Judge Katsas.
Before getting to the dissent opinion which frames the application to the Supreme Court, it is worth noting that President Trump’s Solicitor General nominee, Dean Sauer, is still in limbo. In fact, the Senate Judiciary Committee has taken NO ACTION since receiving the nomination from President Trump on January 20, 2025. SEE HERE and SEE HERE
Considering that President Trump is under a Lawfare assault that will inevitably lead all the cases to the United States Supreme Court, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley has taken no action toward the confirmation of Solicitor General Dean Sauer.
This is not accidental.
The U.S. Solicitor General is the fourth highest ranking member within the Dept of Justice. The task of the Office of the Solicitor General (OSG) is to supervise and conduct government litigation in the United States Supreme Court. All Supreme Court litigation is channeled through the Office of the Solicitor General and is actively conducted by the Office. The United States government is involved in approximately two-thirds of all the cases the U.S. Supreme Court decides each year.
Senator Chuck Grassley well understands the importance of Solicitor General Sauer during this critical time. However, Senator Grassley is also in direct opposition to President Trump on the issue of tariffs.
Chuck Grassley receives major funding for his personal wealth from Big Ag and multinational lobbyists. Grassley is intentionally slow walking the OSG nomination in order to impede President Trump and support the Lawfare efforts against him.
Grassley, like most of the republican Senators in the upper chamber, are ideologically and financially opposed to President Trump agenda. MAGA supporters need to understand exactly what is happening in the background.

Oh, this is rich…. “The lawsuit, which claims violations of First Amendment rights and of the federal Privacy Act, asks to bar the Justice Department from aggregating and disseminating the identities of FBI agents and employees that could tie them to the Jan. 6 and Mar-a-Lago cases.” [Read Full Article]
The ‘rank and vile’ FBI agents decry violations of their “Free Speech” and “Privacy” after those same FBI agents violated U.S. citizen free speech (see “Twitter files”) and privacy (see FISA-702). [Read Their Lawsuit Here]
Seriously, the arrogance, hubris and sentiment of being above all accountability is just too thick. You just cannot make this stuff up.
WASHINGTON DC – […] “Plaintiffs legitimately fear that the information being compiled will be accessed by persons who are not authorized to have access to it,” they argue. “Plaintiffs further assert that even if they are not targeted for termination, they may face other retaliatory acts such as demotion, denial of job opportunities or denial of promotions in the future.”
The suit was filed in federal court in Washington on Tuesday around the same time as a deadline the Justice Department set for the FBI to identify all its personnel who worked on Jan. 6-related cases or investigations. It’s unclear what DOJ officials plan to do with the names, but some prosecutors and FBI leaders deemed untrustworthy by Trump appointees have already been fired. (more)
The modern FBI is the police agency of a weaponized U.S government, with a direct and purposeful mandate to keep the American people under control through strict surveillance and a violent police state.
Understand and accept this with great seriousness, there are no honorable “rank and file” inside this organization.
Every member of the FBI is a participant in the weaponization of power and government. The members are jackboots recruited from ideological college campuses for exactly the purpose of supporting a Stasi-like police state.
Through the past several years, we have discovered how the FBI worked inside Twitter, Facebook and social media to control information, remove content and manipulate opinion on behalf of the U.S. government – all activity political.
We have also learned the FBI took active measures to suppress information about the Hunter Biden laptop and control any negative consequences for the Biden regime – again, political. These are not disputed realities.
The U.S. Dept of Justice and FBI are now political institutions that have abandoned their originating mission in order to become the domestic equivalent of the Soviet-era FSB. Their joint targeting mechanisms have been redesigned to support the interests of corrupt DC politicians, specifically the interests of Democrats.
It was in June 2022, when Senator Chuck Grassley sent a letter [pdf HERE] to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Chris Wray, notifying them of whistleblower allegations from within the FBI that senior leadership in both Main Justice and FBI are involved in a coordinated effort to cover up criminal activity related to Hunter Biden.
The whistleblower allegations, in combination with the documented history of DOJ and FBI misconduct, culminate in Senator Grassley stating:
“If these allegations are true and accurate, the Justice Department and FBI are – and have been – institutionally corrupted to their very core to the point in which the United States Congress and the American people will have no confidence in the equal application of the law. Attorney General Garland and Director Wray, simply put, based on the allegations that I’ve received from numerous whistleblowers, you have systemic and existential problems within your agencies.” (LINK)
Grassley was admitting what has been visible for years.
Senator Grassley is telling the corrupt DOJ-FBI leadership that people in the organizations are outlining the detailed behavior of their corrupt leadership. However, with zero oversight involved, and with Democrats in charge of all committees that would be responsible for such oversight, and with institutional media in alignment and agreement with the corrupt institutional intents of the DOJ/FBI, the frustrating question becomes, “and“?
I mean, who are we kidding? If Republicans were in charge of the Senate Judiciary, Reform/Oversight, or Intelligence committees, do we really believe that anything would be different? Before responding to that cynicism, remind yourself, they were for four years, January 2015 through January 2019, Republicans in charge of oversight.
It was exactly when Republicans were in charge of Main Justice and FBI oversight that Main Justice and FBI were targeting political candidate Donald Trump.
In July 2021, the DOJ OIG produced an absolutely damning Inspector General investigation of FBI conduct in the rape and sexual assault of U.S. Gymnasts, revealing how FBI agents facilitated Nassar’s sex crimes by taking no action despite numerous witness statements to them.
Worse yet, the FBI never reported the sexual assaults to local law enforcement… and to top it off, the rank and vile FBI agents lied during the investigation of their conduct, and the DOJ under AG Bill Barr, and now under AG Merrick Garland, refused to prosecute the FBI liars.
The entire IG report [Must Read pdf Here] reveals layer-upon-layer of FBI wrongdoing, misconduct and false statements in an effort to cover up their activity when the internal investigation of their conduct began. This report is a total condemnation of the FBI rank and file. It really is quite stunning.
BACKGROUND on FBI – As we discovered in January of 2023, the FBI was fully aware of the terrorist who was planning to shoot the synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, and yet they did nothing.
The FBI knowledge of the shooter, Malik Faisal Akram, who was known as Faisal Akram, was confirmed by The Daily Mail. Akram ranted, prior to his travel to the U.S, that he wished he had died in the 9/11 terror attacks. He was a regular visitor to Pakistan, and reportedly a member of the Tablighi Jamaat group set up to ‘purify’ Islam. To say the U.S. intelligence system knew Faisal Akram would be an understatement.
The FBI was also fully aware of the Boston Marathon bombers, the Tsarnaev brothers, before they executed their plot. The FBI took no action. The Russian police twice warned the FBI that the Tsarnaev brothers were going to carry out a domestic terrorist attack on the USA, the FBI did nothing.
The FBI knew in advance of the Pulse Nightclub shooter (Omar Mateen) and were tipped off by the local sheriff. The FBI knew in advance of the San Bernardino Terrorists (Tashfeen Malik). The FBI knew in advance of the Boston Marathon Bombers (the Tsarnaev brothers) tipped off by Russians. The FBI knew in advance of the Parkland High School shooter (Nikolas Cruz). The FBI knew in advance of the Fort Hood shooter (Nidal Hasan), and the FBI knew in advance of Colorado grocery store shooter Ahmad al-Aliwi Alissa. The FBI took no action.
The case of the first recorded ISIS attack on U.S. soil was in Garland, Texas in 2015.
The FBI not only knew the shooters (Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi) in advance, BUT the FBI ALSO took the shooters to the venue and were standing only a few yards away when Simpson and Soofi opened fire. Yes, you read that correctly – the FBI took the terrorists to the event and then watched it unfold. “An FBI trainer suggested in an interview with “60 Minutes” that, had the attack been bigger, the agency’s numerous ties to the shooter would have led to a congressional investigation.”
Remember, shortly before the 2018 mid-term election, when Ceasar Syoc – a man living in his van – was caught sending “energetic material that can become combustible when subjected to heat or friction”, or what FBI Director Christopher Wray called “not hoax devices”?
Remember how sketchy everything about that was, including the child-like perpetrator telling a judge later that he was trying to walk back his guilty plea, because he was tricked into signing a confession for a crime he did not create.
Or more recently, the goofball plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer that involved 18 suspects, twelve of them actually working for the FBI as the plot was hatched? And we cannot forget the January 6th. DC protest turned insurrection effort, which is clearly looking like an FBI inspired and coordinated effort; and unlike Syoc, despite the numerous CCTV cameras and resources in the area, they cannot find who placed the pipe-bombs?
Have we forgotten the Atlanta “Olympic Park Bombing”, and the FBI intentionally setting up transparently innocent, Richard Jewel?
What about the FBI failing to investigate the assassination of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens in Benghazi. Did we forget when Robert Mueller’s FBI waited 19 days after the Benghazi attack before showing up at the compound?…. Journalists from the USA were walking around the compound after 48 hours, but it took the FBI another two weeks before the first investigator arrived…. All evidence long destroyed.
Then, there’s the entirety of the FBI conduct in “Spygate”, the demonstrably evident FBI operation to conduct political surveillance against Donald Trump using their investigative authorities; and the downstream consequences of a massive institutional effort to cover up one of the biggest justice department scandals in the history of our nation. The original effort against Donald Trump used massive resources from the DOJ and FBI. Heck, the coverup operation using the Mueller/Weissmann special counsel used more than 50 investigative FBI agents alone.
And of course, the FBI still had 13 extra agents available to rush to a NASCAR racetrack to investigate a garage door pull-down rope that might have been perceived as a noose; but the serial rape of hundreds of teenage girls, eh, not-so-much effort – even when they are standing in front of the FBI begging for help.
[At this point, I am increasingly convinced by evidence there are elements within the FBI that are enablers involved in sex trafficking, human smuggling, abduction, counterfeiting and money laundering as part of their operational mission.]
The FBI didn’t make a mistake or drop the proverbial ball in the Olympic gymnast case, they intentionally and specifically maintained the sexual exploitation of teenage girls by doing absolutely nothing with the complaints they received. This is not misconduct, this is purposeful.
Then, as if to apply salt to the open wound of severe FBI politicization, what did the FBI do with the Hunter Biden laptop?
More recently, the FBI executed a search warrant on the home and office of Project Veritas and the founder James O’Keefe. While the raid was taking place, a New York Times reporter called O’Keefe to ask him about his thoughts on getting raided. The same New York Times journalist, a few days later, then begins writing about the confidential attorney-client privileged information illegally retrieved then leaked by the FBI during their raid.
♦My point is this…
What the Federal Security Service (FSB) is to the internal security of the Russian state, so too is the FBI in performing the same function for the U.S. federal government.
The FBI is a U.S. version of the Russian “State Police”; and the FBI is deployed -almost exclusively- to attack domestic enemies of those who control government, while they protect the interests of the U.S. Fourth Branch of Government. That is the clear and accurate domestic prism to contextualize their perceived mission: “domestic violent extremists pose the greatest threat” to their objective.
Put another way, “We The People”, who fight against government abuse and usurpation, are the FBI’s actual and literal enemy.
Let me be very clear with another brutally obvious example. Antifa could not exist as an organization, capable to organize and carry out violent attacks against their targets, without the full support of the FBI. If the FBI wanted to arrest members of Antifa, who are actually conducting violence, they could do it easily – with little effort.
It is the absence of any action, by the FBI toward Antifa, that tells us the FBI is enabling that violent extremist behavior to continue. Once you accept that transparent point of truth, then you realize the FBI definition of domestic violent extremism is something else entirely.
The FBI is not a law enforcement or investigative division of the U.S. Department of Justice. The FBI is a political weapon of a larger institution that is now focused almost entirely toward supporting a radical communist agenda to destroy civil society in the United States.
The FBI set up the operation in Michigan to give the illusion that domestic threats were attempting to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer, everything about the events were an FBI construct. The same thing with the January 6th events in Washington DC and the pipe bombs. These are domestic FBI operations. Think about the precarious nature of what this type of activity indicates.
The current mission of the FBI appears to be preserving and protecting institutional power by protecting the administration of Joe Biden.
Anyone who continues to push this insufferable and fraudulent “honorable FBI rank and file talking point”, is, at this point in history, willfully and purposefully operating to deceive the American people on behalf of government interests who are intent on destroying us.
It is not a difference of opinion any longer. Personally, I have lost the ability to sit comfortably or intellectually with anyone who pushes or accepts the ‘mistakes are made’ nonsense. The FBI is not making mistakes, they are doing well what is important to them.
To me, it comes down to a simple matter of accepting what is continually staring us in the face.
Additionally, as we watched the outcome of the Michael Sussmann trial, we should never lose sight of the fact that 40 FBI agents were involved in the Mueller-Weissmann probe to investigate the fraudulent construct created by Hillary Clinton and crew. 40 agents? And, according to the outcome of the Sussmann trial, the FBI knew it was all a ruse.
This is why and how the Fourth Branch of U.S. Government is now the superseding apparatus above all other branches. {GO DEEP} This is why and how Barack Obama, John Brennan and Eric Holder created it, cemented it, and made it impervious to any effort to remove it.
Remember when Henry Cuellar was critical of the Biden administration open border policies that were hurting his Texas district? Less than a month after going public with his criticisms, the FBI raids on his home and office began. The same FBI that raided the home of James O’Keefe while coordinating their search with the New York Times.
The Fourth Branch of Government is corrupt; heck, the J6 committee was defending the corrupt FBI, participating with the corrupt FBI, selling a joint J6 operation that involved the FBI. The corrupt media have aligned with the corrupt FBI, and the justice institutions in/around this legal framework are self-aware and fully autonomous.
As the Twitter files show, the DOJ and FBI, through the authority of DHS, now have the ability to monitor every single aspect of every life that might seek to challenge or destroy the corrupt system.
In essence, Skynet -the ultimate end game of political surveillance and targeting outlined by Edward Snowden- has been activated. We the People are the enemy of the state.
Jackboots are very real, and they are wearing FBI logos on their shirts.

As noted in the visible scale of media panic, Washington DC federal officeholders (many in their pajamas as they work from home) are having fits of apoplexy as the Trump administration bears down on accountability.
As Politico puts it, “Congressional Democrats seem flummoxed by the pace, responding to crises from three news cycles ago while new ones keep arising in real time.” Apparently, things continue to proceed according to plan, the DC system is overwhelmed by the pace of President Trump’s administrative deconstruction.
Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe appears on CNN to discuss the “utter disarray” as Trump administration officials enter and engage the protected silos from every vulnerable position.
“I’ve talked to more FBI people in the last 4 days than I did in the prior 4 years.” “It is a place in utter disarray right now. People are worried about how am I going to pay the bills? How am I gonna support my family?” “If you get fired, you’re done. That’s the end of your reputation, your ability to get any job, you lose your pay, you lose your chance at a pension, you lose your health insurance.” “This is a moment of terror for these people.” WATCH:
Keep in mind, these are the people who weaponized the NSA database to conduct political surveillance.
The Dept of Justice was weaponized to target their political opposition.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation was weaponized to act as the police investigative units for those targets.
The Dept of Homeland Security was weaponized to control the evidence and information about their political targeting and surveillance.
The IRS was weaponized against Obama’s political opposition.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence was weaponized to allow the targeting radar to sweep internally against American citizens under the guise of national security and domestic terror threats.
The Central Intelligence Agency was weaponized allowing and permitting their “foreign surveillance” mandate to merge with the DHS internal surveillance mandate, while simultaneously the CIA conducted overseas political operations against the interests of sovereign countries. All of their activity in ideological alignment.
The Defense Department was purged of patriotism, intentionally weakened through diversity equity and inclusion, and then boiled down to a flag corps of general willing to go along with the policy of Obama.
Main Justice through the National Security Division used FARA violations to target anyone who was determined a threat to the fundamental change, and Main Justice began wholesale Lawfare operations against Donald Trump and any entity who would dare align with him.
Hundreds of millions, likely billions, were funneled through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, The Green New Deal, The Inflation Reduction Act, and various legislative expenditures to foreign governments; those funds went directly into the bank accounts of Democrat donors and political activist groups.
♦ And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, the part the awakened American public can look into and see for themselves.
Underneath the waterline, there’s the USAID issue where Elon Musk is currently operating with DOGE. Tens of thousands of vested interests, inside and outside of Washington DC, operating to maintain the fundamental change system that President Obama created. However, their defenses are weak and shallow, fraught with vulnerability and the endless need to avoid sunlight.
All of that scheming, rot, corruption and unlawful activity makes them vulnerable. The need for control is a reaction to fear. The ‘fundamental change’ group are fraught with fear. That is why they consider the current political landscape as a zero-sum contest. That’s the source of their panic.
WASHINGTON DC – […] All eyes are now on federal courts, where challenges to these decisions are slowly starting to take shape. Two judges have already blocked the White House from implementing its across-the-board spending freeze. And lawsuits in federal courts are potentially the last vanguard for those hoping to stop Trump’s efforts to remake the federal government.
“Nobody has challenged across the landscape the way this president has,” said Stan Brand, a former top House lawyer and veteran of Washington’s highest-profile legal battles of the past 40 years. “We’ve had fights over [spending authority]. We’ve had fights over inspectors general, even before Trump. We’ve had fights over foreign aid. But this one is deeper and seems more programmatic. All of these will get challenged in some manner.”
Judges are bracing for an onslaught of challenges to the growing list of unprecedented steps taken by a president who seems determined to test the limits of his constitutional authority. The outcome of those cases will, in some ways, define the Trump presidency. But in others, the chaos is part of the design. Trump’s allies say he is making good on his campaign promise to shake up Washington no matter what sticks legally.
“Federal employees around the country are surely feeling Trump’s orders as body blows, as he likely intended,” said Daniel Richman, a lawyer and former adviser to FBI leadership. “But once the immediate shock at his extraordinary power claims wears off, I doubt they will all be cowed. Rather, they will be the source of litigation that all but the most die-hard Trumpist judges will take seriously.”
[…] Thousands more terminations at the FBI of employees who played a role in Jan. 6 criminal cases may be imminent, even as pockets of resistance begin to emerge. A group of national security lawyers and allies have offered free legal assistance to FBI officials targeted by the new leadership based on their role in Jan. 6 cases, and lawsuits to prevent wholesale terminations could be imminent.
Many of Washington’s legal veterans say they’re most alarmed and perplexed by Musk and his amorphous role in efforts to make massive, abrupt and ill-explained changes to the operations of the federal government. He routinely uses his social media platform, X, to characterize some government-funded programs as “criminal” and relished, for example, putting USAID — the agency responsible for administering international aid programs — through a “wood chipper.” Those claims of illegality have been coupled with a chorus of Trump’s MAGA allies characterizing the agency as a hotbed of progressive causes, suggesting the agency drew Trump allies’ ire for political reasons.
Musk has sent a team of allies to take control of computer systems at Treasury and in the Office of Personnel Management, which are responsible for delivering appropriated funds and overseeing the entire federal workforce. It’s unclear what responsibilities they have. Amid reports some of those incursions have been met with pushback, Washington, D.C.’s interim U.S. Attorney Ed Martin — a conservative culture warrior who was a prominent conspiracy theorist about the Jan.6 attack — offered to use his office to protect Musk’s efforts.
Martin suggested that “threats, confrontations or other actions in any way that impact their work may break numerous laws.” Martin ended his letter to Musk — which Musk quickly acknowledged — by warning Musk to be wary of subversive elements in government. (read more)
We are officially at this part of the movie…. You can feel it.

Acting Attorney General James McHenry has fired more than a dozen career prosecutors from Main Justice citing their work with the Special Counsel Jack Smith targeting of President Trump. This is an exceptionally valuable non-pretending approach toward eliminating the weaponization of the DOJ, the history of the manipulation of the DOJ/FBI serves as the backdrop.
Remember when Robert Mueller spent 2 years investigating the Trump-Russia collusion nonsense, and it was later discovered the investigative team (5o FBI agents) knew in January 2017, the Trump-Russia collusion claim was false. Why did those 50 FBI agents remain employed, when it was clear they knew there was no basis for the accusations? The simple non-pretending questions are always the starkest.
That’s the sentiment behind current Acting AG James McHenry, firing the lawyers who worked with Jack Smith. In addition to the fabrication of a prosecutorial predicate, the deployment of Lawfare is not based on factual law. The prosecutors showed their political bias by willingly engaging in a prosecution they understood was without merit.
(WASHINGTON AP) – […] The abrupt termination targeting career prosecutors who worked on special counsel Jack Smith’s team is the latest sign of upheaval inside the Justice Department and is consistent with the administration’s determination to purge the government of workers it perceives as disloyal to the president.
Monday’s norm-shattering move, which follows the reassignment of multiple senior career officials across divisions, was made even though rank-and-file prosecutors by tradition remain with the department across presidential administrations and are not punished by virtue of their involvement in sensitive investigations. The firings are effective immediately.
“Today, Acting Attorney General James McHenry terminated the employment of a number of DOJ officials who played a significant role in prosecuting President Trump,” said a statement from a Justice Department official. “In light of their actions, the Acting Attorney General does not trust these officials to assist in faithfully implementing the President’s agenda. This action is consistent with the mission of ending the weaponization of government.” (read more)

QUESTION: Justice Elena Kagan denied the petition to prevent California from investigating and probably jailing doctors who went against Newsom’s COVID-19 protocol. If I remember correctly, isn’t she the former Solicitor General who told them to release you because she could not explain how you were being held without any charge of civil contempt for 7 years?
FD
ANSWER: Yes, your memory is correct. The judge was as corrupt as Trump discovered in New York City. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals is corrupt and they only protect the judges and government and even refuse to order judges to stop committing felonies by changing the transcripts. To be thrown in jail on civil contempt, you should have an order that specifies what it is you are supposed to do. I NEVER had such an order, and when I asked for one, the Judge simply said to his Receiver, “I thought you did that.” I should have legally been released then and there. He kept me in prison without any order.
The reason there was no published order was that they wanted the computer code. They said they would close the company and fire 240 employees unless I turned over the code and even put it in writing to a lawyer offering to rent the company to keep the forecasts going.
Then, when my clients joined me and went after the bankers, they put a gag order on me to stop me from helping my clients against the bank. Then the bank pleaded guilty and returned all the money to my clients, and to justify still keeping me in jail, they claimed there was yet another fraud, without any charges or complaint no less any description. The judge still refused to release me without even a complaint filed. This violated Due Process of Law and the Second Circuit ignored everything.
The Second Circuit just kept me in prison for a civil contempt statute with a maximum sentence of 18 months as a Political Prisoner to protect the bankers and the government. The court transcript even states there is no description of any alleged fraud, but they still just kept me in jail indefinitely because they wanted to stop our forecasts.
When I finally got to the Supreme Court, they ordered the government to respond, meaning they were taking my case. That is when Justice Kagan first asked for a postponement, which I declined. Justice Kagan had no choice because the case was outrageous, and she told the NY boys to release me. They released me from contempt and then told the Supreme Court the case was “moot” to get out of the whole mess.
I had no restitution and no penalties. They knew I would be right back in the Supreme Court if they tried that. Today, this does present a problem. If I return to the Supreme Court, Justice Kagan and Justice Sotomayor would have to recuse themselves because BOTH were involved in my case. That would probably set a legal record to have two justices compelled to recuse from the same case. When released, you are supposed to have 3 years of supervised release. The judge in Trump’s case dismissed that, and in my case, I reported only once, and that was it. They were afraid I would go right back to the Supreme Court. As soon as I got out, Congress invited me to Washington, where I was introduced as the guy with this model they were trying to suppress.
When I was in Frankfurt, Germany, for the debut of the film On Me the Forecaster, there was a question-and-answer period at the end. A woman stood up and said this is what was wrong with America – just raw corruption. A German lawyer stood up and said: “We do this to people here in Germany all the time.” Governments really cannot be trusted to enforce laws. John Stuart Mills also commented in On Liberty: “Let us not flatter ourselves that we are yet free from the stain of legal persecution.”
Charles Dickenson also wrote about the corrupt legal system in Britain at the time. He said: “Suffer any wrong that can be done you rather than come here!” – The Court of Chancery, which I was in civil contempt, the equivalent of the English Court of Chancery.
Even Shakespeare wrote his famous line in Henry VI: “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.” There were no lawyers for private citizens. Only the king had lawyers. The real meaning of those words was to kill all the king’s prosecutors for also legal abuse and corruption.
I have NO FAITH in our legal system. History confirms we are in serious trouble.
When the Rule of law collapses, the government is not far behind.
We really need to press that control-alt-delete and start over.

A few interested sites are noting a recently published decision in the U.S. v. Hasbajrami case in Brooklyn, New York, where Eastern District Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall identified the misuse of FISA-702 “backdoor searches” regarding defendant, Agron Hasbajrami.
Hasbajrami plead guilty to charges of attempting to provide material support to a terrorist organization, alleging that he intended to travel to the Federally Administered Tribal Area of Pakistan, where he expected to join a terrorist organization, receive training, and ultimately fight against U.S. forces and others in Afghanistan and Pakistan. However, after his guilty plea, while he is serving time in prison, prosecutors admitted some of the evidence against him came as a result of privacy violations, unlawful FISA-702 searches.
Hasbajrami sought to have the evidence against him thrown out on 4th amendment grounds (fruit of the poisoned tree) and withdraw his guilty plea. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals denied Hasbarjami’s blanket evidence suppression motion for the exclusion of all FISA Section 702 collection in his case but did not weigh in on whether the warrantless Section 702 database queries were constitutional, instead remanding the case back to Judge Hall for a review of that question.
Judge DeArchy Hall received the case again and reviewed all of the government motions against the request to suppress the evidence. What results is a very well-constructed explanation and opinion of how FISA-702 was misused in the case [SEE 60-pg Opinion HERE].
The judge determined that U.S. government officials did factually violate the technical rules and procedures for the use of FISA-702 searches, and the DOJ should have gone to court to obtain a warrant to look at Hasbajrami’s private communication. In essence, yes, the 4th amendment protections of Hasbajrami were violated. However, the issue of overturning the resulting evidence becomes a matter of legal distinction.
The defendant, who admitted guilt (twice) did not claim the evidence was a result of misuse or a wrongful approach in searching the NSA’s library, from which FISA-702 search results are determined (a structural flaw in the defense motion). The defendant filed a suppression motion on the issue of his 4th amendment rights being violated. The judge opinion holds that the FBI’s Section 702 queries violated the Fourth Amendment; however, the court ultimately denied the defendant’s motion to suppress the resulting evidence on separate grounds.
The value in the ruling by Judge Hall, is a few fold: First, it is an excellent review of the FISA-702 origin and all of the constitutional arguments that surround the controversial law. Second, the ruling clearly shows that FISA-702 searches are currently being used unlawfully and continually by government officials. Third, the ruling clearly shows how “backdoor” 702 searches are violations of the Fourth Amendment. [Albeit in this case, of no value to the argument put forth by Hasbajrami.]
All this and a few bucks will buy you a cup of coffee.
The ruling essentially underpins the reality that government officials are using their access to the complete library within the NSA collection and storage database to conduct searches of U.S. communication that removes the constitutional protections of the 4th amendment.
Mr Agron Hasbajrami was ensnared by this surveillance process and admitted his guilt thereafter.
However, the issue is not Hasbajrami’s intent, or even his guilt. The issue that surrounds us is this constant surveillance state and the tens-of-millions of searches that are done on the private papers of American citizens.
In essence we have a domestic surveillance state looking for suspect people who are operating against the interests of government.
Mr. Hasbajrami was caught wanting to join a terrorist organization. However, as we have witnessed in the cold and brutal reality of the J6 roundup, that same “terrorist organization” may well be defined as your local “patriot group” or “parent’s advisory committee.”
