Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Rick Crawford (R-AR) have dropped a political nuke on Washington: Smoking-gun thumb drives containing unreviewed evidence in the Hillary Clinton email scandal have been sitting in an FBI office collecting dust for over SIX YEARS. The letter, addressed directly to FBI Director Kash Patel, demands that the unevaluated materials — which include sensitive intelligence, foreign communications, and damning evidence related to the Clinton Foundation and Barack Obama — be immediately reviewed and exposed to the American people.

If the thumb drives are unreviewed how does anyone know they contain “smoking guns”? This may be more click bait from Hoft.

I would have thought those kinds of things would have been destroyed long ago. Let's hope they bring Granny Maojackets (hat tip Stephen Kruiser) down. I won't get too optimistic yet.

Um, #1, is it possible that Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and House Permanent Select Committee reviewed it? They are trying to make the point that it was collecting dust just sitting there doing nothing. . .

Why can't Kash Patel or Dan Bongino review it BEFORE Grassley points it out? It has been more than six months. Is this too much to ask??

What this likely will help illustrate is the intentional obstruction of justice. Someone sent it to this outpost office in Northern Virginia (away from the DC HQ 7th floor). It's almost common knowledge that the Chinese, Russians and other intelligence sources knew Hillary had her unsecured private server in her home bathroom. They obtained information off that server. People need to be exposed and held accountable to ensure they aren't considered reliable or trusted. I can assure you, the companies and corporations who have Foreign Corrupt Practices Act policies should not be exposing themselves to potential liability or any conflict by hiring any of those involved.

You bet (or yawn). The investigation will be completed in 10 years and they'll have to connect it to events that occurred 6 years ago that may have already been bleach bit and hammered. Hopefully, the administrations after President Trump keep the same FBI we have today. Another James Comey will drop it like a hot potato.

I am hardly a fan of Bill Clinton, but I can't imagine living with that woman for years, even for political purposes. I am not excusing adultery, but I can easily see why he had a roving eye (and another body part).

An Islamic center in Minnesota penned a gushing letter of support for a Somalian migrant convicted of raping a 12-year-old girl. Qalinle Ibrahim Dirie, 42, was convicted in May of first-degree criminal sexual conduct after he was found guilty of abducting the girl from her backyard and raping her in June 2024. Following his conviction, Dirie's local Islamic center, Al-Ihsan Islamic Center in St. Paul, submitted a heartfelt letter begging Hennepin County District Court Judge Michael Burns to consider the convicted criminal's 'character' before delivering a sentence, Alpha News reported.

The Democrats have decided that they want to make the One Big Beautiful Bill their primary campaign talking point in 2026. They think that by focusing on Medicaid cuts, they can scare voters away from the Republican Party and back toward them for the midterms. One of their focus points is how Medicaid cuts might impact rural hospitals. But the Democrats are also big proponents of doing away with the 340B drug program that those same hospitals rely on, and they aren't lifting a finger to stop big pharmaceutical companies from trying to gut it however they can.

FBI Director Kash Patel found thousands of Russia collusion hoax documents in “burn bags” in a secret room at the FBI, Fox News reported. One of the documents in the burn bags included the classified annex to the John Durham report that includes the underlying intelligence he investigated. CIA Director John Ratcliffe is expected to declassify the annex to Durham’s final report and send it to Senator Grassley, who will release it to the public. Fox News also reported that Kash Patel and his team of investigators discovered a “previously undisclosed” SCIF at the FBI headquarters.

WASHINGTON — President Trump signed an executive order Thursday calling on states and cities to end “endemic vagrancy” — and rehouse homeless people including drug addicts and those suffering from mental problems in “treatment centers.” The order redirects federal funding to prioritize “shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment.” On average, more than 274,000 people were sleeping on the streets each night last year under then-President Joe Biden, the order says.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard who unearthed and released the declassified documents on Friday described it as an "egregious abuse of power" that amounts to a "treasonous conspiracy."

The intelligence came from two memos obtained by the Obama administration in the lead-up to the Clinton-Trump contest and laid out “confidential conversations” between members of the Democratic National Committee and liberal billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.

President Donald J. Trump has expressed his commitment to solving this problem on behalf of future Administrations and the American people. The White House is one of the most beautiful and historic buildings in the world, yet the White House is currently unable to host major functions honoring world leaders and other countries without having to install a large and unsightly tent approximately 100 yards away from the main building entrance.

Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. I’d like to talk about illegal immigration, but specifically about the new president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum. She’s been very vocal about U.S. policy toward Mexico. For example, she said she would offer legal counsel to her citizens that were here illegally that were picked up, she thought, unfairly or too violently by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.She also said that the United States had no business taxing remittances—that is money that Mexican nationals here, for the most part illegally, send back to Mexico. She said, “Do not come into Mexican national ground if you’re going after the cartels.”

WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has privately discussed the idea of running for political office next year in Tennessee, according to two people who have spoken directly with him about it. If Hegseth were to follow through on the discussions, it would amount to a major leadership shake-up at the department that oversees the American military and millions of federal employees. The Defense Department bars civilian employees from running for political office, meaning Hegseth would have to resign to do so. In a statement, Sean Parnell, the Pentagon’s chief spokesman, said, “Hegseth’s focus remains solely on serving under President Trump.”
