Former FBI Director James Comey, who was recently indicted for allegedly lying to Congress when he denied authorizing bureau leaks to the media, is being represented by Patrick Fitzgerald – whose connection to the leak ordeal dates back to when Comey was fired from his post in 2017, then leaked his so-called Comey Memos to the press to prompt the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller. Fitzgerald, also a former U.S. attorney, was one of Comey’s lawyers after President Donald Trump fired him in May 2017. Shortly after he was fired, Comey sent Fitzgerald copies of his memorializations of private conversations he had with Trump, then Fitzgerald forwarded copies

P.F. knew by the first week(if not before) of the Valerie Plame investigation who the so called leak was. And that it was a democrat bureaucrat. But he continued his 2 year investigation into the Bush administration anyway. He did the bogus prosecution of Libby for which Libby was guaranteed to be found guilty by a DC jury. Plame had already appeared in a picture which labeled her as CIA in a popular European magazine because she was the hot wife of an American ambassador. Everyone that mattered already knew she worked for the CIA. There was nothing to leak except that the CIA was working against Bush by lying about Plame's status. And that they too were playing politics and trying to undermine the Bush administration. Part of that undermining was to get her husband to do an investigation for the CIA of rumors that Iraq was trying to buy more yellow cake. He claimed people told him they weren't. But every spy agency in Europe were and are still today saying it was true. When Iraq was finally invaded we indeed found WMD that had been claimed would be there. We knew it because the UN had already documented it years before and Hussein was supposed to have turned them over but never did.

Ah, yes. Anybody still remember the triumphal liberal cheers of "Fitzmas for Christmas"? They were dreaming of PF throwing Scooter Libby in jail before Christmas in 2007. PF did throw him in jail, but later. Eventually W commuted Libby's sentence, but did not pardon him. He should have pardoned him. TANJ - There Ain't No Justice - if you are a conservative.

The article Mentions Davis Howowitz severa times. Every time I hear or see his name an old southern phrase keeps popping up into my consciousness, "Worthless as Teats on a boar hog"! He had the opportunity to be an Historic figure and bring criminals to Justice but chose to stand idly by and do so very little as to do nothing! Perhaps he was in on the scam the whole time, after-all Dems must stick together or surely they'll all be proven the T R A I T O R O U S scum their mothers raised.

This is the "Valerie Plame Affair" DOJ Prosecutor, who neutered Scooter Libby, even though it was Robert Novak, WaPo reporter, and his Editor, who decided to, "out her" from beneath her, "double-deep-dark-secret-super-spy-CIA "cover." Here's an interesting quote from Fitzgerald regarding President GW Bush's "commutation" of Scooter Libby's sentence that should play very well over the next few months with respect to his, "client." ------- Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, however, took issue with Bush's description of the sentence as 'excessive', saying it was "[i]mposed pursuant to the laws governing sentencings which occur every day throughout this country ... It is fundamental to the rule of law that all citizens stand before the bar of justice as equals ... [T]hat principle guided the judge during both the trial and the sentencing," Fitzgerald said. ------ On a side note, did you know that after the First Persian Gulf War (1991) our CIA sent Valerie Plame to Europe to obtain two advanced degrees in economics (first in London then Brussels), all on the taxpayers' dime? Hello, CIA, why not just hire people with similar degrees already in hand?

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Friday went off on White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt while talking about political violence and recent controversies in connection with the Republican Party. “We’ve already seen a rise in political violence and hatred in America, and then you’ve got swastikas apparently appearing in the offices of Republican members of Congress,” Jeffries told reporters on Capitol Hill. “You’ve got Young Republicans engaging in the most antisemitic and racist speech possible.” Jefferies said Republicans “are ripping the sheets off” before turning his attention to President Trump’s press secretary.

Some of us have been voting long enough that we can still remember when Election Day was just that—Election Day. Not Election Week. Not Election Month. Not Election Season. For most of American history, Election Day was called that for a reason: It was one day and done. Dating back to an act of Congress in 1845, for reasons we needn’t get into here, it’s been the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November ever since. Voters knew that and planned their schedules accordingly to make it to the polls on Election Day. For the frail and homebound elderly and for those who knew they would be traveling

There have been over 1,600 rapes, 2,000 sexual assaults with penetration and over 4,300 sex crimes as part of a staggering wave of assaults so far this year in New York City. Total rapes were up 42% in just the past week, and as an exclusive FPM+ report titled ‘New Rape City’ revealed, are up as high as 300% in some parts of the city. And it’s getting worse. In the middle of this shocking wave of sexual assaults, Zohran Mamdani, the socialist candidate currently ahead in the mayoral election, has offered proposals tailor-made to sex offenders. Critics had already warned that Mamdani’s pro-crime proposals, including having social workers

Sen. Bernie Sanders's (I., Vt.) campaign spent $78,371 chartering private jets between July and September, according to federal campaign finance disclosures it submitted Wednesday. Just a few hours later, Sanders lamented that the United States is "increasingly becoming an oligarchic form of society," during a CNN town hall. It continues the campaign's pattern of spending lavishly on private air travel. During the six months prior, Friends of Bernie Sanders spent more than $450,000 chartering jets.

A man living in Louisiana has been arrested on charges that he joined in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israeli civilians. Mahmoud Amin Ya’qub al-Muhtadi, 33, was charged with fighting alongside Hamas in the massacre that killed more than 1,200 Israelis, according to The New York Times. A complaint filed by the FBI said al-Muhtadi faces charges that include providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization and visa fraud. The document said al-Muhtadi was a member of the Domestic Front of the Liberation of Palestine, which has been designated as a terrorist group. The complaint said that the resident of Lafayette, Louisiana, had been a top member of the group.

On Wednesday, The New York Times’ Zolan Kanno-Youngs and Hamed Aleaziz reported the Trump administration is considering “giving preference to English speakers” and foreigners who “oppose migration” to potential refugee seekers. According to The Times, “The proposed changes would put new emphasis on whether applicants would be able to assimilate into the United States, directing them to take classes on ‘American history and values’ and ‘respect for cultural norms.'” To The Times, such alleged reforms are apparently scandalous — as if wanting foreigners to be able to understand our history and values and respect our culture is some sort of problem. In reality, it’s what any serious nation would do.

Abigail Spanberger, the Democrat running for Virginia governor, insists she's running on a platform of saving Virginian families money. At least that's what she says. What she does, on the other hand, is completely different. And now Spanberger wants to slap Virginia taxpayers with the bill for a $15 million DEI czar and staff to enact racist, discriminatory practices in Virginia's government. Spanberger noted the position, a cabinet-level one, started with former Governor Ralph Northam. "What it meant in that administration," Spanberger said, "is that there was someone who was bringing a lens of intentionality and inclusivity. How do we view history here in Virginia,

The Catholic Herald reports Fr Giacomo Cardinali, Vice Prefect, said in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Repubblica that Muslim academics had requested an area in which to pray, and the library had agreed. “Some Muslim scholars have asked us for a room with a carpet for praying and we have given it to them,” he said.

General Motors said Tuesday that it plans to take a $1.6 billion charge in the third quarter as it revamps its electric vehicle strategy as the end of the federal government's EV tax credit is expected to slow demand. GM's move comes as automakers are reworking their plans for producing EVs after consumer demand softened over the last two years. The Trump administration's move to end the $7,500 federal tax credit for EVs, which helped support the emerging industry, prompted executives to warn about a drop-off in consumer demand. GM said in a filing that it expects "the adoption rate of EVs to slow" following the recent policy shifts,

Now, AOC venturing outside the state could be an early move to consolidate her national constituency for a 2028 presidential run, which she could do, but she has options.

After a U.S.-led campaign, the United Nations has postponed a vote on a proposal to impose the world’s first global carbon tax on shipping, delaying the decision by one year. The rule was expected to come up for a vote this week as part of the U.N. International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) "Net-Zero Framework." But a majority of member nations voted to defer it after failing to reach consensus amid U.S. opposition. Backed by the European Union and Brazil, the plan seeks to raise billions from carriers that exceed new emissions limits, channeling the revenue toward climate adaptation and clean-fuel projects in developing nations. Washington and Riyadh led the opposition.

The “moral equivalent of war” is often used to elevate an otherwise non-threatening event into an existential threat. But today, the U.S. and indeed, all of Western civilization, faces a very real existential threat, one equal to war: the global collapse of fertility and families. In country after country, the stark, awful news emerges on a nearly daily basis: birth rates are plunging as women disengage from traditional marriage and family life, and young men do the same. The U.S. is no exception. Last year, the U.S. fertility rate plunged to an all-time low of 1.6 children per woman, a rate roughly 24% below the 2.1 children required j

President Donald Trump on Thursday warned Hamas “we will have no choice but to go in and kill them” if internal bloodshed persists in Gaza. The grim warning from Trump came after he previously downplayed the internal violence in the territory since a ceasefire and hostage deal between Israel and Hamas went into effect last week in the two-year war. Trump later clarified he won’t send U.S. troops into Gaza after launching the threat against Hamas. “It’s not going to be us,” Trump said in an exchange with reporters. “We won’t have to. There are people very close, very nearby that will go in and they’ll do the trick very easily,

Mr. Alexander tells readers that this will have the apparently distasteful consequence of establishing admissions guidelines, managing university costs, creating testing standards for faculty competence and hiring, and setting criteria for international student admissions. He asserts that this is an example of federal overreach.
