On Thursday the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government, held its first hearing. I have not yet had time to listen to the full testimony of all witnesses, but it looks like the subcommittee is working to narrow the focus of their investigation and oversight by identifying the most critical issues.
In an unusual twist Senator Chuck Grassley and Senator Ron Johnson gave testimony to the House subcommittee to include their own experience with investigations of how the DOJ and FBI have weaponized their institutions against the American people and even against congressional oversight. Full video below:
If you watched the full hearing, or if you have identified key questioning that you feel is relevant to the larger issues bearing further investigation, please identify those segments so that we can all benefit.
I am hopeful this subcommittee will deliver sunlight through the testimony and deposition of key witnesses. However, knowing how most congressional oversight committees tend to wander, miss and omit the key issue(s), we need to identify the motive of this specific committee through the action we can document and cite. I hope to complete watching the entire testimony by the end of the day today.
thanks Sundance be well stay strong get some sleep we need you healthy blessings R.D.
Ditto.
yes, and be sure to wear a sweater and drink your milk.
Blech!
Unkind and unnecessary.
The market for “Comey is my Homey” t-shirts is crashing. Lordy, I hope there are tapes along with those whistle blowers.
All I can say is that I am glad Jim Jordan did not want to be Speaker. He has assembled a “ murders row” of talent to expose those who have weaponized our Constitution. Best afternoon I’ve spent in year’s!
What were they key issues? Highlight them, as Sundance asked, so that we all can focus on them and ensure sun light reaches the darkest of dark places.
“What were their key issues?”
MSM dont report it so its a dog and pony show for conservites nothing changes indictments arrest ? Until then its aka a school play put on by Republicans.
Nothing changes because of the Commies and their allies who are trying to foist a police state on this nation. It’s a dog and pony show to those who wish to destroy this nation.
Congress can investigate all they want but only the Executive Branch can order arrests and the criminal cabal is now fully in charge, from Biden on down.
Simple fact is, they’ll never arrest themselves, regardless what damning evidence is uncovered.
Why is this important fact never discussed on this board? Do people here think our Legislative Branch can order arrests?
A lot of people don’t understand that Congress has no legal authority to do anything to these people and we all know the DOJ won’t since they are the biggest part of the problem. Obviously the media is going to bury it so the vast majority of America will have no idea about any of it.
Nancy Pelosi’s House seemed to have a lot of influence over the Trump administration. The House has more than enough authority if anyone there is willing to use it.
that’s because pelosi belonged to a political party and had the support of those who work in the institutions of the liberal Establishment–that includes the Dep’t of (liberal) Justice and even most mainstream Republicans.
We cons elected Trump without the support of either party. We saw what happened. He was unable to control the gov’t and unable to reform the central gov’t and was impeached twice.
So let’s do it again in 2024.
Stupid.
Are you suggesting they wouldn’t sabotage another MAGA President? If so, that’s even more stupid.
And if you think these people will play nicey-nice if we give up on MAGA altogether, then that takes the record for stupidity.
Yes, we are in the fight of our lives here! Freedom is worth it! And you are free to go back to your safe space and mope about your one-world totalitarian ‘utopia,’ where everything is unicorns and rainbows.
I’m suggesting the MAGA army stops fighting like British soldiers in red coats. We are an underground guerrilla movement. Think Fidel.
(btw, James O’keefe gets it.)
So did George Washington for that matter.
Too late. A couple hundred million patriots are out here in the OPEN already. Globalists know how we actually voted, even if their ‘ballots’ overrode us.
So now what?
President Trump is the only one with the smarts AND the cajones to fight this evil out here in the OPEN with us. Patriots need to SEE him in our corner!
Anybody who wishes to go stealth MAGA within the institutions is more than welcome to do so! We will need those *stealth* Patriots on both sides of the aisle if we are ever to ‘win’ one of their rigged elections again.
The UNiparty is crafty enough to infiltrate every side of an election. Are we?
They impeached Trump. They can impeach Biden too but that won’t solve the problems in the DOJ and FBI. Those traitors need to be prosecuted and the House cannot do that.
They can’t prosecute, correct. What if the Weponization committee was used to lay out all of the elements of a RICO case that could then be picked up privately?
Suing the federal government and especially the DOJ and FBI is not even worth considering for several reasons.
Not the Federal Government, individuals around and within it – personally. Can a case be build against persons within the Government acting outside of their official duties (where they may have immunity) but still in furtherance of a racket? How about family members? Use subpoena power to lay out a case and take their houses and pensions.
Once again, only the Executive Branch can prosecute.
Unfortunately, it’s become a fatal flaw in the system. I suppose founders never imagined such blatant corruption would be allowed to continue by We The People unfettered 🙁
Really? Please elaborate.
The D’s are going to let the R’s are going to put on a spectacular and thunderous “More cowbell!” show to the amazement of everyone which will be given the highest of accolades leaving the throngs of sheeple satisfied that our two-party system is functioning as it should.
more chaff will deliver another loss in 2024
issue that needs addressing – ballot harvesting.
AND not one person involved in FISA, two impeachments, COVID murders, or stolen elections served any meaning full time in prison because if one commits crimes for the swamp they get a pass.
Hell, you get a promotion!
Only the Executive Branch can order arrests and they’ll never arrest themselves.
“issue that needs addressing – ballot harvesting”
more than just “harvesting”
how about printing a ballot for every name on the voter rolls, whether living, dead, inactive voter, whatever
… and voting them Democrat and inserting them into the stacks to be counted
even Republican names
… “I’m sorry, Mister GOP guy, it appears that you’ve already voted”
” … but you can fill in this affidavit that’ll be put in a box and never seen again”
” … or you can vote this provisional ballot that’ll be mis-directed into the sack of already-counted ballots and therefore never be directed to a counting machine
What I’m saying is that in addition to “harvesting” there are also other avenues of fraud in voter-roll manipulation, manufacturing and falsifying ballots, various means of ballot-box stuffing, et cetera
Tractor-trailer loads of printed ballots from a New York printing center into Pennsylvania … at 8pm after polls have closed, too late to be voted but in plenty of time to be counted, if you gnomesayin’
White vans full of printed ballots showing up at the back loading dock at 2 or 4 am, after observers have been sent home for the night
Oh – and finally, driving mail trucks full of Republican ballots up into the Santa Cruz mountains and dumping them over the side of the road down canyon embankments
But in their attempt at countering, the GOP has so far only wrapped their heads around “harvesting”
“Yeah, we’ve gotta expand our vote harvesting efforts, like them Democrats do”
“Yeah, that’s the ticket …”
… and we’ve heard precious little conversation about those other types of fraud. Just judging from what I’ve seen in the press.
Anyone?
I’m not talking about the very few that are raising these issues, like Kari Lake
I’m talking about the topics getting traction, getting pushed up into the news to prominent visibility that affects the entire national conversation
GOP will never win elections again if they can’t expose and eliminate these many avenues of ballot fraud
Meanwhile, the GOP is divided, with some pointing out the obvious fraud in 2020 and 2022 while other Republicans shout them down:
“Stop talking crazy, judges have ruled there was no fraud, you’re making the rest of us look like ridiculous conspiracy nuts!”
Anyone thinking the GOP will transform into a serious, hard-hitting, fraud-exposing electoral force, raise your hands
But I won’t be counting them now, I’m turning in, so keep ’em up til tomorrow, m’kay? I’ll count them then, promise
Wow… he’s right you know?
Did you ever think that maybe the reason the Democrats “knew” that Russia interfered in the 2016 election is that somebody might have derailed their counting schemes? I recall in 2008 at the Copenhagen global warming summit with Nobel Laureate BHO ready to preside over saving the planet the East Anglia emails were released. I always though that was Russia that crapped on that parade. Reckon Putin did us a solid. I wish he would reveal some more now.
I tell everyone I am MAGA
Well big tech msm big pharma multi national companies will make sure Trump doesn’t get the nomination. He is bad for their agenda…Hope I am wrong. He is the only one who can fix it my opinion why he’s not in it for $$$ the rest are loyal to the highest bidder.
Sorry they can’t indite.it goes to Doj to die.
I stated in a post on another topic that we must focus our efforts on stopping the 24 fraud in 7 counties. Those are Philadelphia County (PA), Wayne County (MI), Fulton County (GA), Milwaukee County (WI), Dane County (WI), Maricopa County (AZ) and Clark County (NV). The issues you mention above almost all occurred in one of those counties. The ballots from New York likely had a final destination in Philadelphia. If we can throw sand in the gears of the established fraud operations in these counties we have a chance in 24.
Thank you for focus on specific battles rather than pre-declaring surrender in the overall war.
Well said. Now, one hopes the RNC is well advanced in their planning.
/cough
Yeah, I find it very interesting how Ron Desanctimonious was single handedly able to dismantle the corrupt ballot stuffing machines in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, but somehow that can’t be done in the other population centers in the other battleground states. He appears to be getting lots of help from the election machine people and the GOPe.
“how about printing a ballot for every name on the voter rolls, whether living, dead, inactive voter, whatever”
That is a brilliant!!! idea that in a day of mail merge makes perfect sense. Yes!!
Good point, but…..the problem is in some states the voting rolls are innaccurate. Illiegal aliens are getting drivers licenses, and are not legal to vote, but I believe theie names are being used to create “ballots” and counted in the swing states.
You have the right idea. It’s not the illegal border jumpers themselves who are voting en masse, it is the *ballots* created in their names that are added to the count. Which might even matter someday, if there is *ever* an R or D candidate who’s *not* beholden to that Big Club, you know, the one that we *ain’t* in.
Oh yes, we did have ONE candidate like that once.. What was his name again? The *one* the Big Club hates with the passion of a trillion suns?
Give me a minute.. Umm.. ah.. YES! That would be PRESIDENT TRUMP!! spit
I don’t think that was a technique to avoid fraud but rather one of the methods
Who will step up for the American Taxpayer, Citizen?
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRt1wFBh/
Companies like Runbeck in Arizona need to be Run Out of Business.
Like the processing, and chicken plants.
Jay Valentine and his group need to be hired soon to analyze all swing state voter rolls for phantoms!
Hire legal experts to force states to clean up voter rolls or we are finished.
Trump should put his money into these folks ASAP!
There are tons of groups already doing this. The main prolem is that they do not communicate with each other. Judicial Watch has done it for decades.
Yes TL, Judicial Watch has been going state by state with lawsuits to clean up voter rolls. NC lawsuit was successfully completed by JW and the voter rolls were cleaned up before midterms.
As a main goal is sunlight as SD says, perhaps a current state analysis of voter rolls initiatives by US State with JW testimony (Tom Fitton) as a means to bypass communication blocks and centralize the larger issue of voter fraud with this committee while also getting this information out to the public and on record.
One thing that isn’t mentioned is the importance of WHO counts the votes as Stalin explained. What’s actually happening is the clever Democrats get their fellow Dems to register as Republican, then apply to work as a Repub poll worker, so they actually have 2 Dems counting the votes instead of a Dem and a Repub. And of course, all the adjudicated votes, all go to the Dems among all the other shenanigans that take place.
Dunno, but it seems to me that Bill Gates guy in Arizona? He may have been a registered Republican, but talked, walked and smelled like a Demorat.
Yes, and how many investigations and prosecutions have taken place from all of the thousands of affidavits of stolen votes? That’s local, state and federal identity theft.
KM can’t even keep his troops in line like Ironwoman Pelosi, not one Democrat crossed the line with the Republicans. One any vote. ever. Seven RINOs voted with the dens yesterday. Good grief.
What was it they voted on yesterday?
I’m nott sure what it was but saw the vote count on TV.
Spot on correct. WE have to realize there is a money making machine talking about the ISSUES Republicans have to over come to win an election. This is all Smoke and Mirrors. For every Republican and every Conservative, fixing all voter fraud should be all they talk about, all they work on correcting EVERY DAY until it’s fixed.
If we don’t, then nothing else matters. Why is Hilary positioning herself to run for President again? Because she KNOWS Michigan, PA, NV, AZ and probably GA are all hers, and she doesn’t even have to campaign to get them. If true, it DOESN’T MATTER what ideas, committees or hearings the Republicans have or do. We lose.
“For every Republican and every Conservative, fixing all voter fraud should be all they talk about, all they work on correcting …
Exactly, GA
But what is it that they actually do?
Not that
Other stuff
But not that
Bill Barr. “There was no evidence of any significant voter fraud.”
….because we didn’t look for any.
Hearing some good stuff here. As always.
Mail-in ballot fraud is like pickpocketing; whereas Dominion voter machine fraud is like credit card theft.
— Quote from the documentary ‘Selection Code.’
I’m shocked how few people have even heard of this film produced last year by Mike Lindell. I’m convinced it’s been completed shadow banned from any social media or online streaming sites.
These Dominion machines are the real problem. We’ll never win the White House or even small local elections where these machines are being used.
Watch this movie. Spread to friends and family.

thx, me
Harvesting doesn’t matter if the voter rolls are clean and signatures verified.
Disagree. Harvested ballots mean that the activist that delivers the ballots may have employed any number of criminal means to generate the ballot. Coercion, threats, forgery and bribes being only a few. Moreover they nobody just charitably spends their days transporting ballots from lazy but diligent voters. At best they are getting persons insecure about voting to vote as they wish. I do not think some pink-haired activist is going to deliver the votes of those who disagree with her/his political wishes.
People are insecure about voting maybe because they are clueless. We really do not need stupid, insane, or underinformed represented in this country. Their shortcomings are amply displayed in candidates already.
You nailed it !!!!
Well stated Charles!
Can Iinterest you in a time share condo in glorious Malabo?
While I missed the first panel and only caught about the last hour or so of the second panel, the segment which stands out the most clearly to me was Representative Stewart. His focus was on the FBI lying to the FISA Court, Congress and the American people. He referenced the lies to the FISA court on the Carter Page FISA application, the IG report on the lies and errors found on the Page FISA Application and the amount of errors found in an additional 25 FISA applications reviewed and included in the IG’s report. He was also concerned about the increased use of surveillance against foreigners to gather huge amount of data on U.S. citizens. He also made it clear that the he questions the reauthorization this year of 702. I clearly remember reading your posts that explained these issues, so I was able to follow his commentary quite easily.
following this also! Called my representatives to have 702 reauthorization become a debate with records to show it is not performing the basis for its creation. That congress can retool this and delimit the mass surveillance programs.
I also mentioned that congress needs to get involved with big federal governments and state and local law enforcement that “buys” big data about domestic citizens..seems to me this should be a prohibition without a specific warrant, given that it is essentially spying.
God Bless America
Added to these infractions ought to be a consideration on why our vaunted Justice Department made sure these agents were shielded from prosecution or any other form of sanction. Part, perhaps the greatest part, of the corruption is the security these agents have in knowing that they will be protected regarding their acts in furtherance of the criminal conspiracies.
l caught the last hour or so today and what stood out to me was what an SOB the bad penny Goldman ls. He ls on BOTH commlttees and was down rlght rude at the end to the 3 GOP wltnesses.
He must have been gettlng ylelded tlme cuz every tlme l looked up, he was talklng agaln
Not to mentlon he ls a flat out llar.
Goldman’s latest payoff from Biden was when Biden created economic turmoil in the USA and war in Ukraine…. which caused Oil and Defense stocks to increase inversely (as oil profits hit record highs and Biden funneled hundreds of Billions into defense companies.) to other equity investments many of which had been going down… Goldman made millions off his stocks since Biden got installed. He even used the proceeds towards his congressional campaign in NYC. Once you realize that, you understand why he is trying so hard to claim Biden is clean. (Neither of them are.)
The onslaught of strategems to undermine the US Republic by the “public-private partnership” (neo-fascism) is overwhelming.
This is apparently by design. Blitzkrieg concept. We the people can’t keep up with this incredible onslaught.
This SD remark is an insight into the effect of the Blitzkrieg strategy itself:
“I hope to complete watching the entire testimony by the end of the day today.”
How many other strategems and attacks are birthed and advanced while we are occupied by one or another?
Including attrition by biowarfare (demicide), lawfare, and information warfare. Along with the accelerating efforts to collapse the fiat monetary system with runaway overspending and debt. And the proxy war draining US weapons and adding debt while threatening WWIII with the specter of reimposing the draft and suspending civil rights entirely as a “wartime exigency”.
The forces doing this are like a myriad-headed hydra. Its head-spinning.
Meanwhile, the majority of people in the US and western alliance are walking around with the slow-attrition genetic bioweapon in their bodies. Serious illness, cancer, sudden deaths, excess mortality, similar pathology as the virus spike to veil the shots’ causality. A brilliant bioweapon system design. The blighting effect of this plus masks, lockdowns, and fentanyl are seriously weakening the people and their ability to oppose the “soft” blitzkrieg.
Apparently an integrated design, dovetailing with the other elements of the “unrestricted warfare” being waged on the US and western alliance. Interestingly, NOT China.
Q: Why would anyone want to do this?
A: Look to the end state. 100 Year Plan.
Don’t forget the energy strangulation, driving inflation and weakening the US and western alliance energy infrastructure long-term. With the hard push (risibly unrealistic fuel economy regulations) to replace petrol vehicles with EVs which are obviously not a viable replacement.
Like the other elements pushing the US and western alliance down, this does not seem to be affecting China. How many combined “coincidences” does it take to wake people up to what is behind all this?
The USG weaponized FBI etc. are just one part of many, all working in the same direction. The hearings are theater, expect nothing concrete to change, just like the original Church Committee in 1976.
That’s as clear an analysis as I’ve seen, point by point….
meanwhile I’m living by best life as well as I can…..
Please please bring back the draft.
My preference is 18 -80 male female.draft.
Might seem stupid.to some but grandpa who ran his hardware store.for.thirty years can roll his chair upto a counter and run the sign in and sign out at the motorpool Oh did I mention no deferments accept motherhood and dementia.
The point is with everyone having skin in the game and a lottery deciding if their life will be turned upside down.
I predict no more wars and lots of babies
We don’t have a draft but our lives have already been turned upside down. Some just aren’t up to speed about that yet.
I hope they follow Sundance’s excellent guidelines and release it all.
America has become an exercise in civic masochism. Or is it a low-energy battle between inertia and masochism where masochism tends to wrestle inertia to a draw?
Media entrancement has become so deeply enmeshed in the American psyche that the very notion of angry mobs pouring into the streets is completely off the menu-grid.
Hey, you might miss the next ‘hard-hitting alt-media expose’. Wonder if the stormers of the Bastille had TIVO?
As if to compensate for this action-deficit, the rhetoric is increasingly muscled-up with steroid-words to suggest physicality where none exists.
How many times a week does the Gateway Pundit say ‘Conservative Prognosticator A CRUSHES Liberal Prognosticator B”?
Of course no one gets crushed. Not in real life. Sticks n stones an’ all that…
At least SD is honest… watch this, watch that…
Watch being the operative watchword.
In some weird cognitive sense, we’re trapped in Nixon’s rather ingenious encapsulation of the media time-eddy (‘The American people don’t believe anything until they see it first on TV’). And that was in the late 60s!
How can you get incensed if television hasn’t fulfilled its role as Prime Mover? No one in the MSM will ever tell us to storm the Bastille. So we won’t.
What Nixon said is true; however, the information media environment has changed since Nixon. It now includes the internet (this site, for example), social media and email. Maybe, there’s a ray of hope there
Agree. And the country is full of more cord-cutters every day.
As long as the commoners are kept above a lower threshold of comfort, under 100% 24/7 surveillance, there will be no “storming the Bastille”.
J6 was an obvious Reichstag Fire 2.0, a set up for effect. Not a “storming the Bastille”.
Think about the commoners that did the storied things of old, fighting what they perceived as tyranny. In the 1860’s for example, the commoners in the southern US were hardened by a very austere and hard life. Spending months scraping in the field on military maneuvers was little worse than everyday life, and they were already acclimated to trapping and outfoxing and shooting things to eat (skills also used to fight). Also, surveillance was largely avoidable.
Compare to today. The forces pushing America down are moving slowly, careful not to perturabate too much. Keeping the lower comfort threshold in place. They are playing the long game, using time to their advantage, and using unprecedented surveillance and AI analytics to adjust as they go. (100 Years long.)
It’s called slow boiling the pot.
Well said, glassbreaker.
The alt-media, whether consciously or not, aids and abets the ‘comfort facade’. That’s why I maintain media content & ideology is glorified ‘flavoring’. At the bottom of the bowl, it’s all media.
A conceivable convo circa 2030:
So what did you do before the Gulag?
I frequented gateway pundit. What about you?
I liked Dan Bongino. Wanna switch bunks?
ALL media is about WATCHING.
I watched. Grassleys testimony was solid. I’m having a hard time understanding why the Democrats on this committee are so hell bent on siding with the blatant abuse of government. The contrast should be seen by all Americans. Mr Gaetz definitely called out Mr Williams!! Rightfully so! How does Goldman and Wasserman sleep at night? The head of commitee on democrat side, unbelievable, bows to Goldman. The need to call out for a just government is overlooked! Brownie points are stacking up for those who cant see pass their own hypocrisy. I’d be ashame to call myself a Democrat. Thankfully I’m a commonsense thinker and if everyday American could truly see this on every TV, it would awake many more. CSPAN shows what they want every morning and its sickening to see how bias the public broadcast show blatantly picks articles from the usual paper media! The Media is a protected class. We need to bring back the Mundt act. I’m disgusted!
the democrats are a cult and only follow leadership
their leadership is corrupt
the republican rinos are a cult and only follow leadership
their leadership is corrupt
Our saving grace are the MAGA members who don’t
necessarily follow leadership, but appear to be doing
what is right
I’m proud to be MAGA!
We dont break laws. We need to break through rules that are so twisted in manipulation. Cults… very true. I Thank God everyday for my independent mind.
I see through the BS.
Thank you Amjean. And thank you SD. I’m not alone, as so many manipulators want us to believe 😊
They side with the blatant abuse by government because they hate our current form of government. They want to tear down our constitutional republic and replace it with another more totalitarian one, and use our current government as a weapon to do that. They are true believers and are doing what they think is correct. We stand in the way and therefore must be neutered or destroyed. The more they howl and protest, and the more hysterical they get, is when we know we are getting over the target. We are in a Cold War with those who wish to fundamentally transform America. I think I stole that last line from someone. Anyway, they are not going to stop, and we cannot stop resisting them. We are on the side of truth, and will ultimately defeat them if we do not waver. I really do believe that. In many of the things I see happening today I sense they are afraid. I believe that they fear their transformation project may be in jeopardy. The people are beginning to see that something is wrong. Maybe I am naive.
Republican Senator Chuck Grassley , an 88 year old man, truly in the twilight of his life,

You really don’t understand why Democrats support the corruption and political partisanship within the Deep State?
I absolutely know why. The why should of been how…how can they!!
Yes! I watched it in its entirety yesterday. I was SO pleased when Gaetz called out Mr. Williams and stated that his clients include the likes of George Soros as well as a couple of other (I forget who, now) LEFTISTS.
Kelly Armstrong (R- ND) was excellent, as well. He is a great addition to Congress.
I watched and listened to the committee for quite a while. It was like a ping pong match. Republicans call out the FBI , then Democrats attack and go to the shiny, little, bald headed, lizardly , lawyer a–, Williams, to agree with them. What will be accomplished when criminals are allowed to be on any committee that’s trying to get at the truth and present evidence of real wrong doing seems dubious to me. .
Dare I say that I was not impressed with Turley AT ALL? He was bland, too reserved and had no energy— standing on the white line in the middle of the road. UGH I wish Jordan all the luck in the world. I’d take a shower after that meeting for sure.
More than anything it showed to me how very bad and totally corrupt the Democrats are. They are gum in the works, poison in the soup and a toxin to the rule of law and justice.
I liked Baker’s testimony, the retired FBI agent, the comments from Stephanic, the big display of disgusting posters of the FBI in uniform kneeling to support BLM, Grassley’s comments. There was a lot of truth revealed then immediately denied or shifted to some counter meme by the Dems.
I agree. The attack dogs attacked, brought receipts, and exposed people…with evidence. Then the Dems came in to just wax poetically about the people being exposed.
That’s the difference thought- the R’s brought receipts. The D’s brought platitudes. Smart people see this, including Dems. Idiots will bob their heads and do as told by the MSM.
Nothing matters because no one will be held accountable. Well, maybe the two useful idiots from Twitter: Rothe and Gadde. That’s about it. Anyone with real ties to government agencies will be protected. Roth and Gadde will become the sacrificial anodes of the deep state. And then Rothe and Gadde will have one last epiphany- they are the useful idiots.
“Smart people see this….”
Number one, there are a lot of dumb citizens and voters, including the so-called educated.
Number two, there are a lot of citizens and voters who simply follow the hive and refuse to listen to or recognize or apply facts.
Number three, there are a lot of citizens who just vote for who promises to steal another dollar from workers and put that dollar in their wallet.
And Number four, there are a lot of citizens and voters who just don’t give a damn as long as there is a sports game or other entainment to watch.
Carve all those out as non-watchers and we are left with the few who value liberty and the original vision for our republic AND who will take action to protect those principles.
I’m old enough to remember when the Benghazi backstory was sorta/kinda/eventually clarified by a Hollywood movie. Of course, without naming three letter names and pointing pointers and locking locks or even firing squads.
The word for today is, once again, #UnServiceable .
The federal government has become a terrorist organization to BOTH its own people as well as the rest of the world. It makes absolutely no sense other than to say they are sociopathic with death wishes.
It’s a hierarchical organization. People generally do what they are told to do regardless of conscience.
The key is to lop off the head – the leadership. Many ways to do that.
Biden must be impeached, and then removed from office.
Why are we not signaling that out in the open for the world to see? ‘We’ being those of prominence who want this ‘war’ w/Ukraine stopped.
Doesn’t anyone in DC realize that they/we are sitting ducks?
Last question about Germany: Did ‘Biden’ get some kind of ok from some deep state Germans to go ahead and destroy the pipeline? Could some DS Germans have seen a benefit??
The best we can hope for in the near term is that the hearings will lead up to 2024 elections vindicating President Trump and accumulating a mountain of evidence against the Government, Biden, Press, and social media.
Then when President Trump wins the flipping will begin with a prosecutor like Kash Patel.
Make no mistake about it, McCarthy is getting orders from Trump on the make up and questioning of oversight committee.
It is so refreshing to see Trump on offense through these committees.
I’ve been around 58 years. Liars will keep lying. The light bulb in their minds never seems to go from off to on. I’ve seen it for 25 years. The employees that move up the ladder are the ones who lie the best. The conscience worker eventually sees through the BS. My hope is this hierarchy of lawless government workers have a Look in the mirror.
Ugh
The committee needs to point out….
Every bit of evidence the democrats spew are the same talking points the MSM project. Every comment can be tied to what the MSM has in their script. The back channel is fed thru talking points knowing in the future it will be used against those trying to do the right thing. The committee needs to point this fact out!
Funny, my local tv news covered the J6 committee quite extensively from its beginning. Not a word about any of this. Funny huh?
In the word of Dan Bongino’s producer, Joe- WEIRD.
As of 7:12 EST 30 comments posted – not much interest in this.
Like Alinsky’s rule # 12, this has to be personalized.
If they think ignored subpoenas, or Grassley’s strongly worded letters is going to get a rise out of the public.. they don’t.
They need a whistler blower, and a compelling one.
Rudy Giuliani came up with a whistle blower against the voting machine fraud, but his star witness was absurd looking and sounding.
Mark Steyn fell out with Fox, because he hectored their star Hannity to explain why, if so many good people populate the FBI, where are the whistle blowers?
If Jim Jordan and the rest, don’t already have an impressive whistle blower lined up and ready for battle, they’re just wasting everyone’s time.
How far did you watch? I do see that Jordan’s strategy up to the first recess is to present Grassley, Johnson, and even Gabbard because their stories of two-tier justice are specific to themselves. They bring their own receipts. Their rebutters have none, of course.
So far I’m trying not to watch from a treeper plugged-in perspective, but from a PBS viewer perspective…
When was Tulsi ever subjected to abuse by the FBI? I don’t understand what evidence she brings to the table. But I haven’t watched.
Unless these hearings have some kind of procedure to stop the lies and obfuscations of the dems, I don’t see any path forward. I have watched previous hearings and it is disgusting to listen to the dems’ lies as they give speeches to their base and to their donors. Anyone not sticking to the subject matter with facts needs to be cut off and lose his or her alotted time.
Kyle Seraphin is an FBI WB. He’s being targeted by the FBI now. As are several others.
I remember when WB’s were all the rage and must remain nameless to protect them and their story.
Yes, the FIB “indefinitely suspended” Kyle.
Kyle leaked an FIB document from the Richmond office that claimed that Catholics who like the Latin Mass may be prone to “radicalism.”
This from catholicagencynews.com:
The FBI says it is retracting a leaked document published on the internet Feb. 8 that appears to reveal that the bureau’s Richmond division launched an investigation into “radical traditionalist” Catholics and their possible ties to “the far-right white nationalist movement.”
Amazing how when sunlight hits their (FIB’s) hidden plots they somehow magically die. Lots of retracting and not trues. Lots of- taken out of contexts too. And then attacks on those who let the light in.
Interestingly that this is not what happened to Mr. Ciarmella Schiff’s WB.
Who was Giuliano’s star witness?
Many citizens who follow the actions of the FBI/DOJ know there is a double standard when it comes to prosecution/arrests. In many cases, laws and/or processes are not followed in pursuit of the alleged crime. In some cases, facts are altered by FBI/DOJ.
And yet, the penalties for those within the FBI/DOJ and court sentences are weak.
Citizens believe those entrusted to law enforcement should be held to an even higher standard than citizens. And yet, these criminals are given lenient sentences.
Citizens are further concerned that whistleblowers within FBI/DOJ are muted and later penalized for their action.
If the FBI/DOJ are to be fixed, whistleblowers need to be safeguarded and elevated within these agencies. And those who knowingly commit crimes need to be held to a higher standard.
Oh and no secret courts!!
It is somewhat encouraging seeing congresscritters in the GOP actually step up to the plate and deliver, dittos Tulsi Gabbard.
However, we know exactly no one will be held accoutable – the Deep State has already made damn sure of that. And exactly nothing will be done to de-rig and de-fraud 2024. Perhaps a few tech-lefties will get a limp wrist slap, but then it’s back to all their dirty, dirty business.
Its apparent to me Twitter executives are guilty of election interference in 2020 and 2022…Removing selected congress people Hunter laptop just a few…Censorship of conservatives.
Though I harbor some hope that this “theater” will result in something that might be productive, my common sense says it will be roughly equal in value to the obscene “theater” events known as drag queen shows. I have zero confidence in congress. I offer the following short story to illustrate.
I wrote to my senator, Tommy Tuberville, urging him to not support Mitch McConnell and got the following reply; “my years of coaching taught me how to spot a winning game plan and though I may not always agree with it, the party (team) is the most important part of any winning plan.” The idiot thinks he’s playing football! I replied with a warning: “Coach, you’re not coaching/playing with guys that read on a fourth grade level now…be careful!”
If this committee results in a single arrest, I’ll be winning to watch….otherwise, it’s all kabuki theater.
I agree Tubberville’s written communications have changed in the last 6 months. Disappointed to see he is now prepared to get along to move along within the Republican Party.
Just who is directing the FBI and DoJ and CIA with this Liberal Leftist agenda?
We always refer generically to the Leftist Deep State… but who are their leaders?
Who is running the show?
It’s time to figure out who (with names) is doing this.
Obama, Jarrett, Susan Rice, Samantha Power, John Brennan…
We need to have the Whistleblowers name names or no immunity!!!!!
Ideological capture is driving it to a large degree.
I’m not sure anyone needs to run the show at this point, because they’re…most of them…on the same page.
If John Durham had done his job, he could have followed that right back to the Obama White House more than likely but of course that is why he refused to do his job.
Dan Goldman is asshoe.
Kat Cammack is hot.
What the heck is going on with that guy Raskin?
The doo rag on his head was just weird.
He is being treated for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and is undergoing chemoimmunotherapy.
He’s got cancer. Why doesn’t he wear a wig?
Jim Jordan was the reason why the Muller investigation was a dud.
He will be the reason that this investigation will not be a dud, but indictments.
How will the indictment process work? I recall a whole bunch of Congressional referrals as Russia/FISA gates unfolded that went nowhere.
A grand jury hands down a True Bill of Indictment. There are two grand juries after Trump right now, one for the documents, the other for the “thing” he wanted Pence to do on 1/6.
Too many speeches and not enough answers.
Were they following US laws or UN laws?
What indictable crimes were committed?
The power to silence is equivalent to canceling someone, a virtual death sentence.
I have been watching the committee hearings. I will try organize my thoughts. Right now they only thing that is apparent: dems definitely don’t want questions about any issues. That is distracting.
Saw most of the hearing and I was underwhelmed.
Understand that the message needs to get out there through public hearings and there were multiple avenues of potential investigation discussed (from school boards, to FISA abuse, government data collection / 4th amendment abuses etc.), but many of these issues are too deep in the weeds for this type of hearing format.
There needs to be depositions of witnesses behind the scenes. Jordan noted that a whistleblower already gave transcribed statements and there is more to come. The hearings have to then build a narrative around the deposition testimony that’s collected. Apparently the committee has already issued subpoenas for documents but the resolution of those is going to take months / years.
Am I the only one who finds Tulsi the most uninspiring speaker on the planet!
TPTB are trying soooooooooo hard to put her forward. She’s given endless time on Fox.
She spouts all the right words with dead eyes in an uncomfortable and visibly self-conscious effort to look serious. Ugh.
Yeah, she’s got a pretty face but the girl is a TERRIBLE actress.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/02/watch-tulsi-gabbard-tears-apart-vile-rino-mitt-romney-hearing-accusing-treason/
What the average Joe doesn’t know is what goes on in the back rooms, hallways, and members’ offices. Oh, and off-site.
The hearings are primarily for show.
I know because I worked on Capital Hill and I know how quickly the trajectory of a hearing can turn based on public opinion.
“Does it surprise you that Phizer, Google and George Soros are on your client list?” Matt Gaetz
I was so happy to hear Matt out this leftist Williams!!!
“Mr. Roth, Let me refresh your memory for you.” Anna Paulina Luna puts twitter exec’s feet to the fire.
This was good. I like her even if this is just a show trial.
Just once, when some stentorian hag, or stump trained wimp, haughtily inserts the phrase “January 6th Insurrection” with shameless airs of moral superiority, I would like to see Jimmy J, with an impish smile, ask his “good colleague” to, “at some time in our hearing, explain exactly what role Ray Epps played in the insurrection.” Every time that obvious lie goes by without at least a playful jab, the deeper its hold on the psyche of the masses digs. Just sayin.’
If possible shouldn’t this be shared from Rumble?
Lauren Boebert explains FBI collusion with Twitter to James Baker, “You are the collusion!.”
Where’s the tapes they promised.
An idea: make sound bites from the hearing of dems defending Stasi-esque behaviors of fedgov and post them all over Twitter and any other social media and make them able to be downloaded and emailed everywhere
The FBI was willing to pay a million dollars for the right dirt on Trump. We need someone who will pay a million dollars to get the real dirt on the FBI.
Remember the Nunes hearings about FBI corruption that included Comey, Strzok, McCabe, et al. when something like 15 criminal referrals were submitted to the DOJ for prosecution? How many of those were ever prosecuted? Yeah, and that was with a “Republican” AG.
Bill Barr should be subpoened to testify along with his records, emails, etc. Is that possible?
I was able to watch around an hour. I initially went to CSPAN thinking I could watch it there (on Dish) and it wasn’t on either channel. So eventually I went to Gettr and found that Warroom was streaming it.
My impression was the committee came out with a whimper instead of a bang. If I was a casually informed citizen I would think this is a whole lot of nothing by the GOP. Seems to me there should have been at least a couple of FBI witnesses who brought the goods to start out the committee. The portion I saw was quite a bit with Jonathon Turley and some former FBI who is now with a connected DC Democrat lobbying law firm.
At this point I started to have streaming issues. When I got it back it was Tulsi Gabbard and I thought why? What could possibly be compelling about her testimony and I stopped watching.
Count me dubious if Jordan is going to pull this off. Hope I’m wrong.
Our ways are not God’s ways, and we rarely see things go according to our preferred script. What we need to focus on now is the fact — and it is an obvious fact — that evil is being unmasked everywhere around us and that the best medicine for an infection, which this is, is to be opened to the sunlight and air.
The depth and breadth of evil all around us is staggering, and prosecution, even highly visible prosecution, of this or that perpetrator is not going to have any impact whatsoever on the demonic machinery behind this. But simply ferreting out the corruption and putting it on display in this way, so that more and more people become aware of its sheer, repulsive magnitude, that will first create a hesitancy on the perpetrators to continue behaving like monsters with impunity. Then, at first slowly but more and more quickly over time, we will see the useful idiots realize what they have been a part of, and they will quietly withdraw their support for evil. Finally, some of the fellow travelers will switch sides, if only to join up with the strong horse, and that will leave only the true party members, the sociopaths like the Obamas and the Garlands and the Pelosis, all of whom will go back to their holes to lick their wounds.
That’s is what we have been praying for and what we must keep praying for. That, by all indications of the moment, is how this is going to go down.
Turn off their money for starters
The hearings will mean nothing. They are a show to quiet the masses. Some recommendations will be passed on to the DOJ. The same cheating system will be in place for 2024. It’s okay to dream, but in the real world, these organizations must be removed and removed now.
If you want a legitimate election in 2024 then you better get busy shutting down the DHS, FBI, CIA and even parts of the DOD since they are involved in the Bioweapons production process.
Time is running out to the 2024 election. Will it be another selection election?
At this juncture, yes, IMO it will be another selection election, both at the nomination conventions and the ballot box.
Congress isn’t going to strangle Branch 4. Branch 4 is embedded in Congress, as well as the other branches of government. It’s taken decades to complete. We are the backstop. The Constitution enumerates it.
How effective has this “backstop” been over the last 6 years. Without a true and clean election, that backstop will remain full of holes or more simply put, the backstop will not improve without the ability to elect, not select the proper people.
It is one of the greatest issues of our time.
How can we possibly assure our Democracy when Law Enforcement is soooo off the rails??
How do we not hold these folks to higher standards?
How do we get misdeeds/unlawful actions of those in law enforcement reported?
How do we protect those who report these issues?
It has to be done inside-out.
History provides guidelines. The Constitution assists in defining them. The rest is up to us. Those humans aren’t gods, they’re mortal. Mortality is a tenuous thing. Ask Ashli Babbitt. No, I guess you can’t. Right.
The key is the process, Dunes2021. The process is no better than the quality of the people running it. The Constitution helps to define the process. Morality is just one measure or factor that defines the quality of the people elected to run it.
Selection instead of election degrades the quality of the people running the process.
When you see anyone on these commits, ask them why the people pushing the following non-vaccine has not been prosecuted?
IT’S OFFICIAL: CDC Adds COVID-19 Vaccine to Routine Immunization Schedule for Children and Adolescents (VIDEO)
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/02/official-cdc-adds-covid-19-vaccine-routine-immunization-schedule-children-adolescents/
Thereby providing legal immunity to the Pharmaceutical companies that are producing this ‘non-vaccine’. And of course also guaranteeing them a steady stream of income and profits from a product that not only doesn’t work, but is also dangerous.
Isn’t it interesting that the CDC always drops the P from its full name –Center for Disease Control and PROTECTION! Maybe they have ignored the last part for so long they think the P stands for Disease Production instead of Protection.
Funny that, eh? As funny as a heart attack, you might say!
Well said. As you know, we have a mandate by God to protect the children.
Yes indeedy!
Not only do we have a mandate by God to protect the children, we have a duty to ourselves, our children, and our Creator to uphold and preserve our integrity, honor, and decency.
Prevention
Hearings are a good start but when does the action begin? This stuff is still happening as they hold their hearings.
Right off the bat I see a lot of lawfare talking points in Paskell’s opening. Just like Sundance predicted they are going to use “on going investigations” as a shield.
Two specifics, neither involving witnesses, and two general directions.
The specifics:
1). The Goldman Jordan interchange about minority access to majority notes, names, and records. That is worth watching several times over with a close eye.
Points to notice: No one on the majority staff is leaking, and any electronic snooping efforts are apparently failing. The majority has the whistleblower information on a close hold, and it is effective. Whistleblowers can feel secure at least the majority won’t stab them in the back.
Second, look at Goldman’s demeanor. He is angry, demanding, prosecutorial, and just this side of snarling at Jim Jordan.
That is what we in the legal profession would call a lack of professional courtesy. It may seem quaint, but it matters. Many a state bar in the last few decades has convened panels, held and mandated trainings, and updated their professional rules regarding this issue.
That didn’t used to be necessary in the days when there were only 30 lawyers in town and you knew you’d be seeing John or Steve at the bar lunch the next week, so humiliating him in court to impress your client with your “zeal” this week just because an opportunity presented itself was never going to be a good choice. Getting business done without it becoming personal was essential. Bad behavior that technically wasn’t unethical (refusing to agree to waive a filing deadline when your opponent’s kid got sick) meant you couldn’t expect to be treated kindly when what comes around came aroun a few months later.
Congress, a small club, used to be more or less the same way for more or less the same reasons.
Contrast that with Mr. Goldman’s behavior towards the witnesses and towards Jim Jordan. Old hacks like Wasserman-Schultz at least kind of fake it.
Goldman doesn’t care. He is just vicious, and he treats Jim Jordan like an opposing counsel for whom he has blatant contempt, and who is like the dog he usually kicks who is refusing to heel.
There are two explanations for his behavior. One is, he’s an asshoe in real life and that’s just his withered soul on display. The other is (though it could be both) that he isn’t there for the long haul ups and downs of the political tide. He understands that one way or another, the tide stops in the next 2 years, with a clear winner and a clear loser. There isn’t going to be a bar lunch next week,
or ever.
And if he has to rip hearts out of chests, he doesn’t intend to lose.
2) Massie’s address to whistleblowers. He knows they are watching. He says it is safe to come in from the cold. This isn’t kabuki theater. He addresses that concern head on.
That matters. It’s like the meme of the guy holding the whip with a crowd on their knees. The first guy to stand up gets whipped, but then a second guy stands up, and the crowd takes notice, then the crowd steps up and then they are chasing the guy with the whip.
Will the field agents who have seen and maybe been forced to participate in unconstitutional and unethical behaviors continue to submit, knowing dozens have stepped up? Will they trust that the tide is turning? Once that flow really starts, they have to consider whether being the last ones on their knees is going to serve them well if there is a major housecleaning and reduction in force in 3 years. This is the time of choosing. Congressman Massie is as upright and honest and grounded a Congressman as ever was. He just put his word of honor on the line. No one should miss that.
Two general directions. The majority is going with “We want to save the FBI, not destroy it.” For some of us, who have come to believe there is no federal law enforcement that is either truly necessary or that will not eventually become corrupt, even when cleaned up for now, that may be a choice with which we disagree, but is going to be a theme – and I guess if you want whistleblowers to cooperate, there has to be the promise of still existing jobs at the end of that rainbow.
Second general direction: Section 702 is clearly up for discussion and is serving as both carrot and stick. If the IC in general wants any sort of spying “for good purposes ” then some kind of real reins and real accountability has to attach to potential abuses and the past abuses must be held to public account.
Final note to all the blackpillers out there: If an FBI whistleblower goes under oath and on the record to testify that he or she geocached the cell phone records of two MS 13 gang members within 6 feet of Seth Rich at the exact time when he was shot, and then from there traced those same cell phones all the way to Myrtle Beach (where they were found shot), but the Washington Field Office ordered him or her to bury that evidence, and also to l bury the Seth Rich laptop that showed SR was the leaker to Wikileaks – is it still “just theater and nothing will come of it”?
Because that is one scenario Goldman is losing sleep over, I guarantee you.
Come to think of it, given the South Carolina connection there, maybe Lindsey Graham would be losing sleep too.
How many democrats have you seen prosecuted in the last 6 years as a result of referrals from congress?
“Field agents who have seen and maybe been forced to participate in unconstitutional and unethical behaviors“. Could have left the FBI or CIA. They were never forced to participate.
Alex1689, understand that a great many people have been hurt by those who have “played along to get along”.
“……..He understands that one way or another, the tide stops in the next 2 years, with a clear winner and a clear loser. There isn’t going to be a bar lunch next week, or ever.”
Interesting posit, thanks 🙂
My complete loss of confidence in “all things government” makes me extremely skeptical that good will come from these hearings. My sense tells me this is just another political “dog and pony show” to get the participants names and faces before the voting public. “Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.”
General “Raisin’ Cane” has set up a “Doubting Squad” at the end of the MAGA column.
All “Doubting Thomases” and “Negative Nellies” can report there for the duration of the war. You will be able to vent amongst “fellow doubters” without having to be mentally challenged by the daily ups and down of the battles.
If you come to your senses before the end of the war, you will be welcomed back into the MAGA frontlines pursuing the retreating, losing democrats / GOPe gang members.
The MAGA movement has the numerical, economic, moral, intellect and armed majorities in America and the “Greatest Of All Times” leader, President Trump. If you are MAGA you are on the winning side.
“Let’s go Brandon!”
While the funding was ‘authorized’ by the lame-duck Congress for these Constitutionally criminal syndicates, it should still be possible for this Congress to defund them via ‘appropriations’. Perhaps as part of the debt ceiling issue?
We need more than an accurate historical account of their criminality.
Imagine a trial in which all the evidence of criminality is presented beyond a shadow of a doubt but nothing happens to the criminal? In short, We the People want some butts.
