Be of good cheer, the insufferable Lawfare attack was always going to end thusly. Special counsel Jack Smith has filed a motion to dismiss his criminal case against President-elect Donald Trump surrounding J6 and the proclaimed to subversion of the 2020 election.
In a 6-page filing [AVAILABLE HERE] Jack Smith says, “Justice Department policy prohibits him from continuing the case.” Smith is using the election as the justification to save face.
The case was never about the merits of unlawful conduct targeting President Donald Trump. The case was always about Main Justice, via Lisa Monaco and the crew of lawfare ideologues, trying to influence the election outcome of 2024. The dismissal of the case was a foregone predetermined conclusion that was always going to surface after the election.
The reality behind this non-pretending perspective is exactly why the DOJ insiders were very nervous about Matt Gaetz.

According to NBC, DOJ Lawfare operatives and FBI agents within the corrupt and weaponized silos, are calling their friends for legal assistance and protection against investigations of their past activity.
It is easy to see how DOJ-NSD officials would be worried, particularly given the nature of how Deputy AG Lisa Monaco organized them over the past four years to continue Lawfare efforts against President Trump. Perhaps one name, Mary McCord, should be concerned a little more than most.
Additionally, the FBI agents who participated in the witch hunts against President Trump and his allies are also concerned. Both groups now reaching out to lawyers proactively evaluating their risk against the backdrop of demonstrably corrupt and illegal activity.
In short, the article outlines how they were nervous before, but they are extremely worried now that Matt Gaetz has been nominated as Attorney General. Many of them planning to exit quickly and take a low-profile position.
.
WASHINGTON DC – Multiple current and former senior Justice Department and FBI officials have begun reaching out to lawyers in anticipation of being criminally investigated by the Trump administration, according to three people with knowledge of their deliberations.
Following Trump’s decisive election victory, many Justice Department officials and career staffers were already nervous about the possibility that they would be targeted by Trump loyalists, particularly members of Congress. But the selection of former Rep. Matt Gaetz, a firebrand Trump ally who was the subject of a recent FBI investigation, to lead the department has sharply increased the sense of alarm, the sources said.
“Everything we did was aboveboard,” said a former senior FBI official who has started contacting lawyers because he expects to be prosecuted himself. “But this is a different world.”
The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of becoming even more of a target, doesn’t believe any attempt to prosecute him will be successful. Judges and juries have the power to throw out cases or find defendants innocent if they deem prosecutions to be baseless.
But like many other current and former Justice Department officials, he is bracing for a potentially long and costly legal battle, as well as the possibility of protracted congressional investigations, after Trump takes office in January.
Career FBI employees are especially vulnerable, the official added. Since they make less money than they would in the private sector, they rely on the pensions they receive after 20 years. (read more)

It should not come as a surprise to see the same methods deployed against President Trump in 2024 that were used by the FBI in 2016. The difference is now that President Trump understands the full power of his office in the security clearance process and that he doesn’t need the FBI.
In 2016 the FBI used their power to conduct security clearances as a tool to stall and block President Trump appointments. Historically this is one of the ways a very corrupt and political FBI interfere in any system that might be against the interests of the Intelligence Community that controls them. However, in 2024 President-Elect Trump and his transition team have already taken a different approach.
First the report:
WASHINGTON DC – An official at FBI headquarters in Washington is warning that the bureau’s security clearance division is politicized and can’t be trusted to screen President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees for top administration jobs.
The allegations of political bias at the FBI’s security division, or SecD, were revealed in a protected whistleblower disclosure sent to the House Judiciary Committee, which The Washington Times reviewed.
The official said the security clearance process has been “contaminated by the political agendas of [security division] officials and other executives in the FBI.” (more)
This is not any earth-shattering revelation. We painstakingly discussed this in a multitude of prior research discussions. The motive of the Whistleblower to come forth now, is likely because President Trump is already working around the problem.
WASHINGTON DC – President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team is skipping the protocol of using the FBI to conduct background checks, according to a report.
Instead, the president-elect’s team is turning to private companies to vet administrative appointees, people familiar with transition planning told CNN. Trump has criticized the FBI for its slow investigation process and feared it would delay his ability to roll out his agenda.
A security clearance is needed for some Cabinet positions, such as attorney general, and the process of obtaining one includes an FBI background check.
Dan Meyer, a national security attorney, told CNN Trump’s mistrust of the FBI and the deep state has made him go completely rogue. [They] “don’t want the FBI to coordinate a norm. They want to hammer the norm,” Meyer told CNN.
The Trump transition team’s decision to bypass the FBI background check comes as Trump has nominated former Reps. Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard for attorney general and National Intelligence director, respectively — both controversial picks. (more)
Because President Trump is making civics great again, it’s worth reminding everyone that President Trump has unilateral decision-making authority to grant anyone a security clearance. The President (atop the executive) can give anyone he chooses a top-secret security clearance status, simply by saying this person has top-secret security clearance. Yes, it really is that easy.
The President can choose his advisors and choose to share anything – even the most top-secret information in the country – with his advisors and cabinet members. That’s what we elect him/her to do; to use his/her judgement to make decisions.
This is one of the powers within the office that cannot be challenged by any other silo, branch or institution. The security clearance rules are what President Trump says the security clearance rules are.
There is no outside silo in the Executive Branch, who can supersede the decision of President Trump.

Government corruption is not isolated to Washington. The media, academics, lobbyists, think-tanks, pharmaceutical companies, big tech, and perhaps every organization with ties to federal agencies compromises the corrupt system. It is finally time to drain the swamp.
I often speak on how bankers simply never serve time in prison because they hire the people from the agencies who are supposed to regulate them. Goldman Sachs, for example, may pay a fine but they never send their own to jail. Any fee paid is never even close to the money they actually made, rather, it is just a pay-off. We see the same system throughout every organization or university that government has tarnished. They have become above the law.
A study entitled “Lobbyists into Government” (Benjamin C. K. Egerod and Joshua McCrain (2023)) examines what occurs when a lobbyist transitions into a role in government. Lobbyists are trained to influence and persuade government officials to act on behalf of their corporation. Lobbying firms often hire men and women with prior government experience to gain access to their connections. There are no laws preventing these individuals from entering the government, as both sides of the aisle are drenched in corruption. It has become one giant revolving door. As they say, “It’s one big club and you’re not in it.”
Anthony Fauci acted as the director of the National Institutes of Health while also acting as a top funder of bioweapon research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Stephen Hahn once served as the FDA commissioner in charge of regulating Moderna, one of the pioneers of the COVID-19 vaccine, and then Hahn went on to work directly for Moderna. Scott Gottlieb played the same move with the FDA and Pfizer, as did Mark McClellan with the FDA and Johnson & Johnson.
Kennedy said that the new government would listen to whistleblowers like Edward Snowden, who had been forced into hiding for speaking out against blatant corruption. Countless individuals have risked their freedom and lives to raise the alarm on the magnitude of government corruption. They have been demonized by the media as conspiracy theorists or even domestic terrorists.
The swamp has expanded to every corner of the US. Universities and think tanks produce studies to align with their funders’ political interests. We must starve these corrupt actors of government funds. Then, the new administration must examine how extensively this corruption damaged American lives. We allowed bad actors like Fauci to sell us on the idea of a never-ending pandemic blamed on Chinese peasants at a wet market when he was actively funding gain-of-function research. Kennedy, in particular, has a bone to pick with Fauci.
The Biden Administration focused on multiplying the public sector and expanding government oversight. Trump has appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). “Together, these two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my administration to dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies — essential to the ‘Save America’ Movement,” Mr Trump added.
Elon Musk said he looks forward to draining the swamp in Washington. “All actions of the Department of Government Efficiency will be posted online for maximum transparency. Anytime the public thinks we are cutting something important or not cutting something wasteful, just let us know! We will also have a leaderboard for most insanely dumb spending of your tax dollars. This will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining,” he posted on X. Vivek posted that they “will not go gently” on corrupt officials.
In addition to damaging American society and aiding in the demise of our very civilization, this corruption is extremely expensive. Trump noted: “Importantly, we will drive out the massive waste and fraud which exists throughout our annual $6.5 Trillion Dollars of Government Spending. They will work together to liberate our Economy, and make the U.S. Government accountable to ‘WE THE PEOPLE.’”
This is one of the main reasons why they attempted to assassinate Trump. The politicians crying that Trump will have them imprisoned know they were acting with ill intent. Our public servants must serve America and American interests. Our food, medicine, education, and every area of life must be free of exploitative practices that only benefit the establishment. IT IS TIME TO DRAIN THE SWAMP.
