AAG Todd Blanche Moves diGenova and DeLorenz to South Florida Group Assisting USAO Jason Reding Quiñones


Posted originally on CTH on April 19, 2026 | sundance 

A formal announcement is likely tomorrow; however, leading information now affirms Acting AG Todd Blanche is moving Joe DiGenova and Christopher-James DeLorenz into positions in South Florida to assist U.S. Attorney Jason Quiñones in ongoing investigation of the Donald Trump targeting.  The venue puts any grand jury information in the court orbit of Judge Aileen Cannon.

Before getting into the substance, the alignment here is critical to understand.  Judge Cannon saw firsthand exactly what the Lawfare constructs consist of when she had the Jack Smith operation in her court during the Mar-a-Lago documents case.  Judge Cannon knows the context of weaponized justice and saw the techniques through first-hand experience.  This cannot be emphasized enough.

There are a lot of people who want to see some form of accountability finally delivered for the decade-long corrupt Lawfare operation that took place against Donald Trump before he took office (Spygate), during his administration (Russiagate, Mueller, Impeachment), after he left office took office (Jack Smith and Mar-a-Lago) and even through today (Judicial Intervention).  Many of those voices have concerns about 81-year-old Joe diGenova, so let me address that first by pointing out how the issues that frame the criticism are also a valuable asset.

Joe diGenova has a very rare current perspective; he completely sees the timeline of Trump targeting for what it is.  This is immensely valuable because not enough people understand the complex continuum enough to stand back and see the bigger picture.  diGenova sees the bigger picture.

diGenova can see the 2015/2016 FBI contractor political spying operation (Spygate) and how it connects to the later Fusion GPS/Clinton construct of Russiagate. More importantly, diGenova sees the connective tissue -the actual characters- flowing from Spygate, through Russiagate, into the Mueller investigation, then into the impeachment effort and then into the Jack Smith operation.  Seeing the big picture is the first step.

Now, critics point out that diGenova is a creature of DC. Yes, that is true. However, that’s also an asset given that he understands just how difficult it is to navigate through all of these ridiculous DC interests.  diGenova is also a character, boisterous perhaps intemperate and easy to Alinsky (isolate, ridicule, marginalize). So what? It doesn’t matter who is involved in this effort, they are going to be Alinsky’d by the Lawfare operatives on the other side.

Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing see the big picture and have a skillset to tell the story.  They can assist brilliantly and direct the telling of the story by connecting the lead prosecutors to the background script of how everything unfolded over the past decade.  If Quiñones is researching a “conspiracy” case, it is the primary job of the investigative researchers to connect each of the evidence dots to the larger conspiracy.  Sounds perfect for diGenova.

diGenova can put the prior weaponization into a timeline and from that timeline extract the step-by-step evidence that proves it.  This timeline of targeting and how it is all connected has been missing in every investigative review up to now.  That’s the value of diGenova.

This doesn’t mean diGenova is in the courtroom per se’, but rather he’s the one explaining the sequencing of witnesses for a grand jury and how the questioning of one might relate to the questioning of another.

Christopher-James DeLorenz has the skillset of knowing Judge Aileen Cannon and the internal machinery of a modern Main Justice.   Put them together and the lead prosecutor in Florida has a formidable team putting the details onto the table in front of him/her.

This could have been done in DC years ago by the House Select Subcommittee on Weaponization; however, they did not have the skillset nor the operational strength to push through the DC politics as a group.  Former Representative Dan Bishop is a current U.S. Attorney in North Carolina, and he said it wasn’t fear that screwed up the subcommittee effort as it was republican political leadership stopping the subcommittee from aggressively investigating the whole matter, the big picture.

There are rumors that Blanche has assigned diGenova because President Trump is frustrated with Main Justice on this issue.  I don’t know if that is true, but jumping ju-ju-bones – could you blame Trump?

Remember, former AG Jeff Sessions ridiculously recused himself putting Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein responsible for all of the time during the Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann targeting.  President Trump wanted to declassify records directly related to his targeting, but Rod Rosenstein kept telling White House lawyers that if Trump released anything Mueller would view that as “interference or obstruction.”

Even the memo written by Devin Nunes was considered ‘obstruction’ by the Mueller team, and that was simply Nunes sending Trey Gowdy and John Ratcliffe to read the Carter Page FISA warrant and write down their opinion of it.  Remember that stupid battle with the DOJ/FBI and IC?

Then came Bill Barr who told President Trump not to declassify and release any information, or he would be interfering with Robert Mueller then ridiculously John Durham.  Over and over again President Trump was told he could not declassify and release documents or he would be guilty of some form of obstruction.

To be fair, with the context of the impeachment evidence now at the forefront, it is obvious the end goal of the Mueller operation was to provoke Trump into doing something that could be classified as “obstruction” which would then kick-off an impeachment.  That was the purpose of all Mueller and Weissmann’s effort.

The day after Mueller’s embarrassing testimony to congress, the Ukraine-centric impeachment effort was triggered.  All of the tools and Lawfare operatives (McCord, Atkinson et al) were in position for an impeachment, regardless of what the angle was.

After years of wanting information released and being legally advised not to do it, the FBI then raided Mar-a-Lago to ensure no documents were ever released.

This is one long continuum of targeting, and I do believe Joe diGenova is one of the people who “gets it.”  Whether all the evidence rises to the level of unlawful activity is yet unknown. Personally, I think there is enough substantive evidence to prove criminal conduct in court – and I am willing to work my ass off to assist helping to identify, locate and retrieve it. Which brings me to an important final point.

I’m saying this to all of the “Twitter Experts”.  All of the researchers and who understand the material at a granular level, need to quit bitching about ‘nothing being done’ and start putting their energy into helping people in the Trump administration understand it and find it.

Instead of predicting failure, help Joe diGenova (or whomever) by telling him each part of the material that they know about.  Once he is officially appointed to the role of assistant or advisor in this endeavor, diGenova will have a .gov email address.  Send him the details.

If we listened to those who told us it was futile trying to get detailed information from two branches and seven isolation silos on the background of the fraudulent 2019 impeachment effort, we would never have seen the corrupt IC IG Atkinson material and transcripts to prove it.  We now have that evidence because we figured out how to get it.

Considering the date today:

...”A man may do an immense deal of good, if he does not care who gets the credit for doing it.”….

I absolutely hope Joe diGenova, Victoria Toensing, Christopher-James DeLorenz and U.S. Attorney Jason Quiñones succeed.  I do everything in my power to support their efforts, and I will pray with intensity for their safety and success every single day.

With Strait Open, British Prime Minister Kier Starmer Says He’s Organizing EU Security Force in Effort to Remain Relevant

British Prime Minister Kier Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz issue a joint statement on their plan to open the Strait of Hormuz, after President Trump secured and opened the Strait of Hormuz.

Essentially, after holding an international teleconference, leaders from the U.K, France, Italy and Germany gather to express their importance on an issue that has been entirely resolved without them.  The result is akin to a Monty Python skit that’s missing the part where a guy comes out and slaps them in the face with a big fish.  WATCH (prompted):

Blockade Successful – Deal Reached – Strait Open – Oil Prices Plummet


Posted originally on CTH on April 17, 2026 | Sundance

In a series of posts on Truth Social, President Trump has announced that a deconfliction deal with Iran has been agreed.

It appears the blockade was successful in finally convincing Iran they had very few options.  Additionally, as we all well understand here, the blockade was halting oil shipments to China. It is very likely that Beijing was also putting pressure on Iran to reach a deal.

[SOURCE]

“THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS COMPLETELY OPEN AND READY FOR BUSINESS AND FULL PASSAGE, BUT THE NAVAL BLOCKADE WILL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT AS IT PERTAINS TO IRAN, ONLY, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS OUR TRANSACTION WITH IRAN IS 100% COMPLETE. THIS PROCESS SHOULD GO VERY QUICKLY IN THAT MOST OF THE POINTS ARE ALREADY NEGOTIATED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!” ~ PRESIDENT DONALD J.TRUMP

“The U.S.A. will get all Nuclear “Dust,” created by our great B2 Bombers – No money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form. This deal is in no way subject to Lebanon, either, but the USA will, separately, work with Lebanon, and deal with the Hezboolah situation in an appropriate manner. Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!! Thank you!” ~ President DJT

“Now that the Hormuz Strait situation is over, I received a call from NATO asking if we would need some help. I TOLD THEM TO STAY AWAY, UNLESS THEY JUST WANT TO LOAD UP THEIR SHIPS WITH OIL. They were useless when needed, a Paper Tiger!” ~ President DJT

“Thank you to Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar for your great bravery and help!” President DONALD J. TRUMP

“Iran, with the help of the U.S.A., has removed, or is removing, all sea mines! Thank you!” President DJT

“Again! This deal is not tied, in any way, to Lebanon, but we will, MAKE LEBANON GREAT AGAIN!”

“Thank you to Pakistan and its Great Prime Minister and Field Marshall, two fantastic people!!!” President DONALD J. TRUMP

“A GREAT AND BRILLIANT DAY FOR THE WORLD!” DJT

“Iran has agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again. It will no longer be used as a weapon against the World!” ~President DONALD J. TRUMP

With the fighting ending and the conflict over, suddenly the U.K and France come running to assist.

Late Night House FISA Shenanigans Results in a Two-Week Extension, But No Agreement on Reauthorization Bill


Posted originally on CTH on April 17, 2026 | Sundance

Late last night (midnight) the House members were called back to session in order to vote on a procedural rule to facilitate a negotiated FISA(702) extension.  The advancement vote failed to pass the House (200-220) collapsing the bill, which is not a bad outcome all things considered.

House Republican leaders posted a compromise FISA amendment just before 11 p.m., and then called the House members to vote.  The Amendment would have extended FISA (702) for five years and did include language that would have strengthened criminal penalties for misuse of the program, and some language that would have required warrants under certain circumstances.

However, there is strong opposition in the House to a FISA(702) extension that doesn’t contain a full warrant requirement when the FISA search targets, directly or indirectly, an American citizen. A rather eclectic group of Republicans including: Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.), Andy Harris (Md.), Darin LaHood (Ill.), Thomas Massie (Ky.), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (Iowa), Zach Nunn (Iowa), Andy Ogles (Tenn.), Scott Perry (Pa.), John Rose (Tenn.), Keith Self (Texas), Mike Turner (Ohio) and Jeff Van Drew (N.J.) voted against the bill.

Leftists are voting against anything Trump supports, though there are some democrats who are consistent in their efforts to stop FISA (702) for many years.  You can tell from the Republicans who opposed last night’s bill, that there is also a wide divergence of opinion on the issue.

My personal opinion is that most of the legislature, both parties, don’t have any honest understanding of how FISA (702) is used, has been used, and will likely continue to be used. While this effort at reauthorization may have failed, it’s not really a bad thing and more time for lawmakers to get educated on the core issue is always a good thing.

The root of the issue is the Fourth Amendment and ultimately the process that FISA (702) touches on, which is electronic surveillance.

The use of FISA (702) against a U.S. citizen has only been tested in one court case and that case wasn’t a great example {SEE HERE}. Only one case has ever pushed into the sphere of challenging this unconstitutional exploitation. A 2025 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.

Politico has tried to make the FISA (702) reauthorization an issue of division between President Trump -who supports it- and Tulsi Gabbard who supports Trump’s decision. {LINK}

DNI Tulsi Gabbard appears to have just as many reservations as us about allowing the government to search an electronic database that contains our private papers and effects without a warrant.  It is simply a Fourth Amendment concern.

At the same time, President Trump is told FISA (702) surveillance is critical for DHS, deportations, domestic terrorism intercepts and foreign intelligence use that relates to U.S. military application.  All of which is likely true because the core of the FISA (702) search issue is warrantless real-time surveillance.

The collection of data, the database itself, as well as the search functioning therein, is part of the toolbox for FISA-702 surveillance.

The historic problem is not that “authorities granted under FISA-702” were/are used to conduct surveillance; but rather the search of the NSA collection database was done, illegally and frequently, for non-authorized reasons.

The capability to conduct those search queries is maintained by justifying the need for FISA-702.

The historic searches and domestic surveillance were done by exploiting the NSA database, for a reason and purpose that is not authorized and has nothing to do with FISA-702. THAT’S THE PROBLEM.

The existence of the U.S. citizen data itself creates the opportunity to search it. The legal justification to search that database is done under the auspices of FISA-702; however, that’s not the issue. The issue is that searches of the NSA database are done by government officials and government contractors for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with FISA-702.

As a consequence, it’s the collection that creates the problem. Not the legal process for searching it. As long as the database exists there will be unlawful intrusions into it for domestic and/or political surveillance.

If FISA-702 did not exist, the quasi-constitutional justification for the wholesale collection of U.S. citizen metadata no longer exists. It really is that simple.

There is ZERO justification for the capture of U.S. citizen data by the government. The capture itself violates the Fourth Amendment. The only way the government can justify the capture of U.S. Citizen data is if there is some quasi-constitutional or national security reason for it.

Take away “702”, and the data collection collapses; ANY “incidental” search of the database then loses any plausible legal justification. 702 is the camel’s nose under the tent.

If you remove FISA (702) from the toolbox you remove the legal authority to search the database when any American citizen data is involved.

It appears the House has given themselves two more weeks to continue trying to find a solution.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard Outlines Reason for Criminal Referral of Trump Impeachment Collaborators


Posted originally on CTH on April 16, 2026 | Sundance 

Director of National Intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, appears for an interview with Katie Pavlich to outline the importance of bringing all of the information about the Intelligence Community targeting of President Trump to the public.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant, and We the People want to see accountability for the Machiavellian conduct.  The intelligence community targeted President Trump and people within the CIA ran an operation to remove him.  These people have names and titles that have remained hidden, DNI Tulsi Gabbard is putting those names, specific names into the public psyche so we can have a full understanding of what took place.

Now, for many here this may seem like information we have all known about; however, Gabbard is providing the receipts, the actual evidence, of how these IC operations took place.  WATCH:

.

DNI Gabbard is showing how specific people within government weaponized their positions to conduct some of the most insidious schemes in modern U.S. history.  The criminality of those schemes is for others in Main Justice to determine, but the evidence of those schemes is clear.

I am thankful that people are now starting to use the new information to review past timelines. [SEE HERE] What they will discover is that Michael Atkinson’s work with Mary McCord and the Lawfare network are not isolated events. This is a continuum of targeting against Donald Trump using all of the intelligence levers at their disposal.

Michael Atkinson and Eric Ciaramella are the current names, but beside them sits Mary McCord, Norm Eisen, Andrew Weissmann, Barry Berke, Dan Goldman, Benjamin Wittes and many others from the Lawfare community.  They intersect with various high level government officials in Main Justice, the FBI, the CIA, NSA and various intelligence agencies.

This is the nest of Deep State and Tulsi Gabbard is exposing it.
