In an almost identical replay to the 2016 election, Attorney General Merrick Garland held a press conference today to note the indictment of three Iranian suspects for hacking the Trump campaign and attempting to influence the 2024 election outcome. [37-page-indictment pdf Here]
In 2016 the identified influence agents were from the nation of Russia. In 2024 the identified influence agents, Masoud Jalili, Seyyed Ali Aghamiri and Yasar Balaghi, are from the nation of Iran. All other aspects seemingly remain identical.
According to CBS, “The three defendants — identified in the indictment as Masoud Jalili, Seyyed Ali Aghamiri and Yasar Balaghi — are all members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Prosecutors said they executed a “wide-ranging hacking campaign that used spearphishing and social engineering techniques to target and compromise the accounts of current and former U.S. government officials, members of the media, nongovernmental organizations, and individuals associated with U.S. political campaigns.” (more)

It’s likely Fani told Nathan she was going to say, “she dindunuffin’,” and he better disappear. Apparently, the U.S. Marshals are looking for Nathan Wade after he has refused to accept a subpoena for testimony.
ATLANTA — The U.S. House Judiciary Committee has now tapped the U.S. Marshals to help obtain testimony from former Fulton County special prosecutor Nathan Wade.
They’ve taken the step after Wade failed to appear for an earlier scheduled hearing, according to a copy of a letter accompanying a subpoena obtained by 11Alive. Now, a committee spokesman said they’ve asked the Marshals service to serve Wade with a subpoena to testify.
[…] “Nathan Wade’s evasion of service is extremely unusual and will require the Committee to spend U.S. tax dollars to locate him.”
The subpoena, signed September 20, requests Wade’s testimony at a September 26 hearing in Washington, DC. Nathan Wade did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Former Georgia Governor Roy Barnes, now a private attorney representing Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in a different legal matter, argued the Judiciary Committee’s decision was politically motivated. “This seems to be nothing but political grandstanding right here before the election,” said Barnes.
[…] Barnes said he anticipated Wade would be asked detailed questions about the ongoing Fulton County prosecution of former President Trump and sent a letter requesting that he be allowed to be present during the interview so he could “make objections if they got into issue that were privileged.” (read more)

This stuff is so predictable. A person would think the DOJ-NSD would make an effort not to just reuse their prior playbook. Alas, specifically because the IC silos are run by bureaucratic idiots, they just end up rehashing anything that works.
On September 19th CTH said, “I’ll just casually sit back and wait to see what the DOJ NATIONAL SECURITY DIVISION (DOJ-NSD) come up with next. Presumably -if I am correct- we will see some patsy Iranian group named, labeled and blamed for the hacking, likely around the end of this month. However, factually the “hacking” per se’, is probably nothing more than the Biden group Intelligence Community (FBI/DOJ/DNI) exploiting their political surveillance control systems.” {LINK}
Cue Dramatic Music…
TODAY IN DC: A grand jury has indicted multiple Iranians on charges related to hacking Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign.
The federal charges stem from an Iranian operation that allegedly stole internal Trump campaign communications this summer, according to three people familiar with the investigation who were granted anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it.
The names of the defendants and the specific criminal charges were not immediately available. A grand jury secretly approved the indictment on Thursday afternoon. The Justice Department is expected to announce the charges as soon as Friday.
[…] This month, U.S. security agencies released an unusual statement saying Iranians sent material stolen from the former president’s campaign to people linked to Biden’s reelection team (which later morphed into Harris’ campaign). The statement said there is no sign the recipients responded.
Google’s cybersecurity arm has said Iranians tried to hack into Biden’s campaign as well, but there are no indications those attempts succeeded. (read more)
√ Iran in 2024 has replaced Russia in 2016. √ Devlin Barrett in 2024 has replaced Ali Watkins in 2016. √ “Google cybersecurity” in 2024 has replaced Crowdstrike in 2016.
Stop me when you realize you have seen this movie before.
At the end of this IC rainbow, it’s the same destination. The Trump campaign is under constant surveillance and the IC is obfuscating Iran as the legal predicate, the justification for the mechanisms used by the Biden administration as surveillance.

The Fulton County judge overseeing the Fani Willis constructed lawfare case against President Trump has just told the prosecution they must drop another two charges as DA Willis is trying to use a state court to prosecute federal charges.
VIA CBS – […] Fulton County Judge Scott McAfee said the two counts fall under federal jurisdiction. Both counts deal with conspiracy and filing false documents. Five counts of the original indictment against Trump have now been dismissed. Three were dropped earlier this year by Judge McAfee, who ruled that the charges lacked detail. Trump now faces eight remaining counts in the case, out of the original 13. (read more)
The Georgia case is currently in the appeals court over the prior ruling that Fani Willis should be permitted to stay on the prosecution of Trump after her boyfriend, the lawyer prosecuting the case, was forcibly removed due to the inherent conflict of interest. The appellate court ruling on Willis’ status is not anticipated before the November election.

The latest video surfacing from a New York Federal Prosecutor’s office says what the entire world knows: that Bragg’s case is BS and that he has brought this case to climb the ladder politically. This is what prosecutors do. Since Guiliani prosecuted John Gotti and became Mayor, the same took place with Christi in New Jersey. The ONLY way to end this corruption in our legal system is to bring indictments ONLY by a unanimous committee vote – not an individual prosecutor. Once an individual prosecutor charges you, that’s it. His personal career is on the line, and when dead wrong, he will not simply say sorry and drop the indictment. This video that has surfaced has forced Merchan to postpone the sentencing, for he will be appearing as if this is a witch-hunt to interfere in an election.

There’s a lot of positive commentary about this judicial decision; however, my hopium account balance is overdrawn. Let me present a factual angle of how the Deep State may use this. FYI if you have watched the corruption unfolding for the past few years, you will understand this is not doomerism; it’s pragmatic caution.
There is an argument to be made that Merchan, who has already shown stunningly political bias against President Trump, will operate only on the political LAWFARE interests of those who support him, regardless of consequence.
Judge Merchan is a rogue lawfare element, do not try to convince me he is bound by any legal or judicial limitations.
If you accept the possibility of political LAWFARE, then consider Judge Merchan may be positioned as an insurance policy against President Donald Trump taking office. The scenario would be President Trump winning the election (too big to rig) and then finding himself being sentenced to prison after his victory.
Not only would this scenario play into the hands of those who promise to defeat Trump even in victory, it would also create constitutional crisis, upend the political system and likely trigger something akin to a civil war – exactly what the IC/Deep State would relish.
Also, under this scenario those Sea Island folks advising RFK Jr and Ron DeSantis might have something other than altruism behind their current endorsement status, just sayin’. Don’t ever underestimate the scheming, conniving efforts of these crews.
NEW YORK — Donald Trump’s sentencing for his criminal conviction in Manhattan will be delayed until after Election Day, a judge ruled Friday, handing the former president a significant victory that will leave voters in the dark about his possible punishment, including a potential prison sentence, as they head to the polls.
The sentencing, previously scheduled for Sept. 18, is now set for Nov. 26.
Justice Juan Merchan, the judge who oversaw the trial and is responsible for sentencing Trump, said he wants to avoid any impression that the sentencing could give an advantage or disadvantage to “any political party and/or any candidate for any office.”
“The Court is a fair, impartial and apolitical institution,” Merchan wrote in a letter to lawyers in the case. (read more)

In Rippo v Baker 589 US _, 137 S. Ct. 905, 197 L. Ed. 2d 167 (2017), the United States Supreme Court held that the Nevada Supreme Court erred by requiring evidence of actual bias to demand a judge’s recusal. The Court held that evidence of actual bias is not required to demand recusal of a judge. In this case, Rippo was sentenced to death after a Nevada jury convicted him of first-degree murder along with other charges. Upon discovering that his trial judge may have been involved in federal bribes, Rippo suspected that the district attorney’s office was investigating the case. Rippo made a motion to disqualify the judge under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, stating that it was impossible for a judge to impartially adjudicate a case in which one of the parties was investigating him, but the judge declined to recuse himself. The trial judge was indicted on federal charges, and a new judge denied Rippo’s motion for a new trial.
On appeal, the Nevada Supreme Court affirmed the decision, holding that Rippo did not have evidence that state authorities were involved in the investigation. Pointing to documents from the judge’s own trial that supported his claim that the district attorney’s office had been involved with the investigation, Rippo sought postconviction relief. The court denied relief, and the Nevada State Supreme Court affirmed showing how courts hold that judges are really above the law.
Analysis: In Bracy v. Gramley 520 U.S. 899 (1997), a U.S. Supreme Court case involving a judge who accepted bribes to rule in favor of some defendants and against others who did not bribe him, the Court held that the petitioner was entitled to a discovery hearing. Although the nature of the case was speculative, the petitioner had alleged facts suggesting that his defense counsel may have schemed with the judge to rush the trial. The Nevada Supreme Court held that, unlike Bracy v. Gramley, since Rippo’s allegations did not support the assertion that the trial judge was actually biased, Rippo was not entitled to an evidentiary hearing.
The U.S. Supreme Court held that the Nevada Supreme Court applied the wrong legal standard. They noted that under the Due Process Clause, a judge may sometimes require recusal even when a judge has no actual bias. To determine whether recusal is required, courts look to whether the probability of actual bias on the part of the judge or decisionmaker is too high to be constitutionally tolerable. Because the Nevada Supreme Court did not ask the question of probability but, instead, actual evidence of bias, the U.S. Supreme Court vacated the judgment.
There is no question that under the Supreme Court, this pretend “acting judge” should have recused himself, and the entire NY system of justice is an international disgrace. Fair trials in NYC are simply impossible. This acting judge is interested in one thing only – stopping Trump from becoming president. The NY Court should be stepping in, given the national importance of this case. But, too, are out to interfere in the election. This is why the United States will never stand as a single country. For now, they do not care even about the appearance of law, and “justice” is now a two-word statement – “JUST US,” Nothing is now safe in NYC – NOTHING!!!!!
Special counsel Jack Smith filed a superseding indictment in the same DC case, showing how desperate the Democrats are to stop Trump from winning the White House, for he and RFK would shut down the Neocons who are taking us into World War III. Smith is outright seeking to Interfere in the 2024 Election. Smith was also never appointed or approved by Congress. He is an unauthorized hack of Merrick Garland, another Neocon who hates Russians. Garland also claims that his family was persecuted by Russians, along with Antony Blinken and Victoria Nuland. What are the odds that three people with personal family grievances with Russians control the Biden White House?
The FBI has conceded that they had so many agents there on January 6th that they could not even give a number to Congress. There is reasonable doubt as to who actually broke into the Capitol. Was it FBI undercover that created the affair to allow Pelosi to suspend normal rules for counting the votes? They want to blame Trump, but the beneficiary was actually Pelosi and Biden. There was also concern that calling in the National Guard presented an unspoken risk. Those in the military tend to lean more toward Trump than Biden. There were concerns that the National Guard could have switched sides and supported Trump vs Pelosi/Biden. After all, that is how coups often take place.
The actual rigging of the election took place in Congress. The claims that Trump denied bringing in the National Guard was false. Retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg testified before Congress that President Donald Trump did, in fact, request National Guard troops be deployed in Washington D.C. before the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Kellogg also said he was present at the time of Trump’s request and that Congress should release his testimony to the public, but the Democrats withheld that testimony. The American Military News also wrote:
“David Bossie, who wrote the Washington Times op-ed noted Jan. 3 conversation between Trump and Miller and said the Jan. 6 select committee is “crafting a narrative that doesn’t quite add up and omits important facts that would not stand if there were proper Republican representation on the committee.”
NBC News reported that the commanding general of the District of Columbia National Guard told members of Congress Wednesday that he had troops ready to deploy immediately to the Capitol on Jan. 6th. Still, it took more than three hours for the Defense Department to give the green light. This has raised questions about the Deep State and did they delayed the National Guard to ensure that the FBI broke the windows and led the protestors into the Capitol so that Pelosi was able to declare EMERGENCY RULES, shutting down all challenges to any state vote. If a state is challenged, it is to be debated in the full House. Pelosi imposed the COVID Rule that restricts the maximum number of people on the floor to 53. Any election rigging took place in Congress. It was not about voting machines or dead people voting which always takes place in every election.
Jack Smith has revised everything because he would have had to reveal his case is a mini-trial all over evidence in light of the Supreme Court. If Smith had tried to proceed under the original indictment would have given Trump a hearing that would have turned into a mini-trial. Smith would have been forced to bring in his witnesses and experts to testify and make the case for why Trump’s charges should remain or should be dropped. This superseding indictment was really to fold his case, which would have been questionable to begin with, and he would have lost respect in the public eye all before the election. The judges in all of Trump’s ongoing criminal cases must go through to apply the Supreme Court’s presidential immunity decision.
While we have the diehard Democrats who do not care about the Constitution or the rule of law, they spell “justice” using two words: “JUST US” and do not care about the future. The Supreme Court also held that prosecutors have ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY and judges, but the President should not be above the law? Why? They are?
The Supreme Court in 1993 also was confronted by the constant abuse of prosecutors in an investigative context. They finally ruled that abuse of the investigative process is grounds to deny the prosecutor’s absolute immunity under Buckley v. Fitzsimmons, 509 U.S. 259 (1993). That ruling reversed the holding of Absolute Immunity for prosecutors. The Immunity decision in the Trump case follows the same path that official acts are immune, the same as Smith enjoys. Still, UNOFFICIAL acts do not carry absolute immunity in the same way as the improper investigative acts Smith.
So let’s stop the partisan BS, and without the rule of law, NO NATION can stand!!!!!!!
This superseding indictment was to avoid an evidentiary hearing that would have been a mini-trial that would have Smith losing much of his wind, looking to the entire world that is just a partisan hack with the sole purpose of interfering in the 2024 election.
