Senator Ron Johnson had complained several times about the FBI delivering false information to the Senate regarding the investigation of the Hunter Biden laptop, prior to the 2020 election. Today, the Dept of Justice arrested two senior FBI officials for making false statements to congress. [Indictment pdf HERE]
DOJ Press Release – WASHINGTON – Two former senior FBI officials, Nikki Cole Floris, 46, of Alexandria, Virginia, and Bradley Benavides, 56, of Aiken, South Carolina, surrendered today on arrest warrants issued after a criminal complaint charged them with lying to Congress about their involvement in the FBI’s investigations into Hunter Biden, announced U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro.
[…] “This morning two former FBI members of the now dissolved Foreign Influence Task Force, Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides, were taken into custody – charged with allegedly lying to Congress in 2023 on matters regarding investigations related to the 2020 election. One of these individuals is on record privately claiming to be ‘running a shadow government’ during the 2020 election,” said FBI Director Kash Patel. “As we’ve said repeatedly: weaponization will never be tolerated at this FBI. We have already dismantled the corrupt CR-15 squad that engaged in political weaponization targeting their opponents, including President Trump – and anyone who abuses their position of public trust will be held accountable.”
Floris and Benavides each were charged with making false statements in a matter within the jurisdiction of the legislative branch, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2). The charges stem from an ongoing investigation into the since-dissolved FBI Foreign Influence Task Force, or FITF, which led the FBI’s efforts to secure the 2020 election from foreign malign influence.
[…] Floris and Benavides each were charged with making false statements in a matter within the jurisdiction of the legislative branch, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2). The charges stem from an ongoing investigation into the since-dissolved FBI Foreign Influence Task Force, or FITF, which led the FBI’s efforts to secure the 2020 election from foreign malign influence.
Evidence shows that Floris discussed the FBI’s investigations into Hunter Biden routinely for more than a year both within the FITF and with others in the FBI. Contrary to his assertion that he learned of the Hunter Biden laptop from Wikipedia, Benavides regularly discussed the laptop with FBI officials in the leadup to the 2020 election.
Floris led the FITF as a Deputy Assistant Director from mid-2019 through mid-2022. Benavides was the FIFT Section Chief from mid-2019 through the 2020 election.
In the leadup to the 2020 election, the FBI had several investigations into Hunter Biden in which the FITF participated. In 2023, the United States House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary interviewed both defendants about FITF’s role in the Hunter Biden investigations. Each defendant was warned that lying to Congress is a crime.
Floris and Benavides testified that the FITF was not involved in the FBI’s investigations into Hunter Biden. For example, Floris told the Judiciary Committee that she was involved in no discussions about Hunter Biden while she was at the FITF. Benavides testified that he only learned of the FBI’s possession of Hunter Biden’s laptop from reading a Wikipedia article in 2023.
According to an affidavit submitted in support of the criminal complaint against Floris and Benavides, documentary evidence, contemporaneous communications, and witness accounts contradict their Congressional testimony. {Source}
Great news!
Thank you Sundance, you are amazing how you stay on top of all this 🌳🇺🇸❤️✝️🦅
Off Top Sundance.
I’ve seen comments about Boasberg getting Omar’s case.
Also being reported on a site called The Right Scoop.
With judges like him our judicial system will continue in chaos as bandits are not held accountable to our laws …bill
Good luck getting a conviction in D.C. However, many times it’s the process not the punishment.
Honorable rank and file?
So, according to scumbag Comey, we have 2 1/2 years to completely purge this cesspool?
Good to know.
Keep arresting and firing!!
I think there are several 3 letter clubs that need to go to that shelf of history because it no longer served the purpose of its creation.
This is just a little raw meat for the big, angry cats while nothing serious is being done about a coup against a Sitting President of the United States of America.
if we get more things like this, it’s all moving in the law and order direction
How? Recognize that Washington DC is basically a FOREIGN COUNTRY. It is populated by people HOSTILE to people like Trump, MAGA, etc.
Patel, et al, have no friends there.
Any work that needs to be done to effect the results you are talking about will have to be done by Patel and a few loyal associates – the rest of the FBI will passively or actively oppose the work.
Sadly, once Trump leaves, all will revert to the way it has always been.
On the contrary, Patel has MANY friends in DC
“A merry heart does good, but a broken spirit dries the bones.”-Proverbs 17:22
Imagine how loud this pair will be singing to try and make sure they never end up in the yard of a federal prison.
Too many just like them with robes for that.
Sticking a couple in the refrigerator chills the rest. Not that we might not end up having to more.
The termiting is gaining traction, we just must get past the mid – terms.
People must be held to account, or this will be 10 times worse next time
Agree, and perhaps it’s just starting to look like there will be SOME accountability. I have always assumed, perhaps wrong on my part, that nothing will happen to all those who have scammed the system, Americans and country. This is a short list of some of the arrests made in the last 90 days…public officials who are SUPPOSED to uphold their oaths. Very interesting with a few of them…hope the trend continues.

Thank you!
A full list helps those who complain.
We are grateful for every single one… keep um comin !!!
Never ever give up hope. PDJT never gives up hope. All I can say is that in the last few months the needle has been moving in our favor ever so slightly. After the mid-terms I expect we will see a huge uptick in arrets in these traitors.
I think the pan of milk is steaming and very close to boiling. Once it does, many more arrests and indictments will be coming along fast and furious. (cue word man!!)
I want to know about Anthony Weiner’s laptop. Where is it? What is on it? Elon, Marco Polo we are calling you for the forensic spider crawl.
How about the cop who murdered the lady at the capitol 1-6? He got transferred and that was it. There is no statute of limitations on murder. Also the lady that was beaten to death in the basement on the same day.
And Seth Rich, do not forget that kid.
That culture inside the FBI is just plotting its revenge.
A few token scalps does not solve the problem
I think this helps the midterms, Good to see. Now the Omar Alias lady – do something there and a few more of deep state treason artists!!
PERP WALKS 2026
At this point we’re grateful for anything. And even though these arrests may seem like small potatoes, it could be the beginning of toppling many more dominoes.
data republican release on the coup plot after mid terms i think may blow the whole lid off the commie advance
“Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants.”—Louis Brandeis
PDJT will be a lame duck that will crap on all that is bad and quack like you’ve never heard before.
This is right about the time when the leftist media declares his presidency over.
The MSM will keep it as quiet as possible. Publish distractions. Lie about it if they do cover it.
mmm small potatoes roasting on the grill make a fine beginning to a meal
Covering up what the Biden Crime family was really all about deprived Americans of facts that we should have had in the voting booth in ‘20.
Putin & Xi would love to be able to actually meddle in US elections as much as these Deep State apparatchiks have done.
Hopefully they will sacrifice their scalps and rat on the higher ups involved with their shadow government activities. Obviously this is another widespread conspiracy.
On,y if they are staring at some long prison time……
Indeed.
Get them to turn states evidence or it’s hard time at Leavenworth.
All crime syndicate prosecutions hinge on that.
Now we see if they get slaps on the wrist like that Ciaramella (sp?) guy.
They didn’t lie on their own. They were following orders.
Press them HARD to either singot spend years at Club FED.
FIB headquarters definitely needs to be moved to the furthest away corner of comfortable surroundings
All of DC does. Every 50 years or so. That way, different people can be hired than just coastal Leftists.
Unfortunately they are going to build a new Mega Million $ Palace Complex for the Communist FBI in Greenbelt, People’s Republic of Maryland or Communist Washington, DC.
Move to a new HQ in Alaktak, AK.
Americans know they shouldn’t lie, but for Democrats, it’s a way of life.
Lying to congress is a crime? This will be news to a lot of people on capitol hill.
Congress lying to the voters should be a crime. Then we’d be getting somewhere.
Yeah, but….lying to congress is not the same as a lying congress–they are allowed to lie at will.
Its a good move. These two will start singing immediately. Wouldn’t be surprised if they hang themselves in their cells while the cameras are glitching
They will most likely be released while awaiting trial. I could be wrong but time will tell.
FITF, which led the FBI’s efforts to secure the 2020 election from foreign malign influence. Because that’s their job, how dare some foreigners try to muscle in on the game.
That made my day. LOL.
99% of the rank and file are as corrupt as the other 1%
As attested by the (not) long line of whistleblowers diming out their corrupt colleagues. There should be so many that they have to take a number as in a butcher shop.
I am not being ungrateful but why did this take 36 months or longer to indict these 2?
Is it possible they are the first of many? I have to believe they were part of a much larger seditious attempt against DJT
…”I have great confidence in the people down below who are just trying to hang on. And I’m urging them, hang on. Two and a half years, and then we can rebuild these institutions.”… Former FBI Director James Comey
While all this FBI skulduggery was going on, Floris’ and Benavides’ former boss, James Comey, was teaching ‘Ethical Leadership’ at William and Mary College!
There are no words…
Off topic but on topic on the illegal election nonsense

PENNSYLVANIA: Nine non-citizens have been charged separately with illegally voting, despite knowing that they were not U.S. citizens.
What’s up Wray???
Lying, leaking and laboring are not a discretionary task for the worker bees, but under close direction of a superior.
Find the reason, find the superior and much more will be clear!
Low hanging fruit. Perhaps they can rat-out the fruit on the upper branches.
This is a really good start to lead us to Christopher Wray and ultimately Obama, who ran a shadow government for 8 years after his terms ended.
When do they begin their gigs on MS-NOW and CNN?
About @#&! TIME. Now go arrest about 590 more.
Comey and cohorts can rebuild their FBI institution while serving time in prison.
Let’s see which judge you think will be assigned these cases. Move these cases out of DC. Better yet, shut down the whole U.S. District Court for the DC.
So will they roll on higher ups?

Where’s a photo of the other scumbag?
My fear is that this may boomerang in that if a DC jury finds them not guilty it will increase the deep state’s feeling of invulnerability.
I love to see it! How many October surprises does this make, y’all? I can’t keep track of them. And thank God for Sundance and the handful of other “alternative media” journalists in the US, because the MSM would shoot their own
kidscats before they would report this stuff.Finally some FO
These slugs are looking at ham sandwiches while Soetero dines on caviar.
Saint Comey: The world’s most sanctimonious man. When will justice be meted out on him?
6 years to get others to admit to the prior 2020 truth – plus a lot of subsequent adversity.
[ The Lord also faced a lot of adversity in sharing the truth – and persevered through the adversity – because it helps us to improve and learn to
‘take the high road’, i.e. choose the morally correct option in ones faith, life journey…
(and one, albeit not perfect, may attain a clear conscience (at a cost)…. which just might come in handy, some day… ) ]
In Oct. 2020
John Paul Mac Isaac, computer repair person,
who tried to get the repaired laptop back to the owner,
eventually alerted the FBI of incriminating emails, text messages, photos and financial documents on (hunter) Biden’s infamous laptop, before turning it over to Rudy Giuliani,
revealed that
he’s since lost his computer repair store and now faces bankruptcy.
hmmm… sharing the truth…
The Lord knows all about some peoples human nature (desire to save face, look good – at costs to others ) ….first hand…
Love thy neighbors
