If you are deep in the political research weeds about the weaponization of government, there is a letter from lawyers representing President Trump to the chair of the House Intel Committee that is very interesting [pdf available here].
The letter is written to HPSCI Chair Mike Turner and copied to the other seven members of the gang-of-eight in the Senate and House. The letter outlines the details of the documents that became the contested issue between the DOJ-National Security Division (‘NSD’, important distinction), specifically a DOJ-NSD official named Jay Bratt, and the attorney for President Trump, Mr. Evan Corcoran.
The letter is fascinating because it outlines how the process of moving documents from the White House was weaponized by a politically motivated National Archives and Records Administration (“NARA”), and the letter also gives fulsome context to the types of “classified materials” that have been insanely over emphasized by media.
[…] “Tim Parlatore and Jim Trusty, two of the undersigned counsel for President Trump, reviewed all 15 boxes at NARA earlier this year and based on that review, it is clear to us what happened. The boxes contain all manner of documents from the White House, are loosely grouped by date, and include newspapers, magazines, notes, letters, and daily schedules. Following its review of the materials, NARA inserted placeholder pages where it had removed documents with classification markings. That allowed Messrs. Parlatore and Trusty to discern what the documents were, as well as what other materials in the boxes were in the proximity of the marked documents when the White House staff packed them. The vast majority of the placeholder inserts refer to briefings for phone calls with foreign leaders that were located near the schedule for those calls.” (page 3, pdf link)
Additionally, get this part… despite the standard process that has been in place for the prior four administrations, the NARA refused to participate in the collection of any documents from the White House during the transition phase following the November 2020 election.
The NARA refused to assist in the collection of the Trump records for national archive holding and review, and then the NARA triggered a sequence of events that led to the DOJ using a reference from the NARA, to weaponize a process they refused to engage in. The NARA refused to do their specialized bureaucratic job, and then the NARA used what they defined as an incomplete job as a reason to refer the outcome to the DOJ. The details are quite interesting.
The letter details how the DOJ-NSD then weaponized the process, fought with the FBI investigative and supervisory agents who were saying Trump was doing nothing wrong, and then culminating in a documented lie to the Florida magistrate, in order to get a politically motivated search warrant.
The DOJ will not release the documents they used to convince the judge to obtain the warrant. Additionally, the DOJ will not release a list of the documents, or even describe the documents, they later claimed are classified. To this date, the Trump defense team is being told President Trump held classified documents, yet the DOJ will not describe to the lawyers who represent President Trump, what those classified documents are.
I strongly urge anyone interested to read the 10-page letter. It is a key part of the puzzle being explained and outlined.
Trump Classified docs response to hpsci
If, like me, you see the elements of the Washington DC corruption through a prism of bipartisan participation and purposefully blind willfulness; and if you overlay the entire mechanics of what we can document to be undeniably true about the scale and scope of the participating enterprises who operate within this corrupt system of government; and if you accept that multinational corporations, mega-financial conglomerates, and powerful interests in control of money are the true seats of power behind the DC Potemkin Village; then you can fully grasp how this specific part of the weaponized government against Donald Trump system fits into the bigger picture.
The depth of the DC corruption is stunning; yet so too is the intensity of the sunlight that is so easy to put upon it with simple truths.
This is not an 800lb gorilla sitting in the corner of the room that everyone pretends not to see.
This scale of corruption is more akin to a 30,000 lb blue whale laying on top of the house, fin and flippers hitting the ground and crushing the neighbors’ rose bushes, while the tail blocks the streets and the stench of it all permeates the air for a dozen miles…. Yet, the owners of the house keep inviting everyone to the cocktail parties, and the guests pretend not to notice anything.
It’s all just so damned weird.
I worked at NARA for a couple of years a long time ago. And even then, every employee I met was openly a partisan Democrat. The white employees were fully woke leftists – and this was the 90s. The white male employees were around 15 percent gay which is higher than the general population.
NARA should never be trusted to do anything – they put a trigger warning on the Constitution.
You’re describing 75% of the federal government!
At least.
99%
The EPA is on the same sheet of music.
Hatful squirrel’s with unlimited power
They are truly nuts.
And it was Obama EPA Secretary Gina McCarthy that was using a personal email account to coordinate with Sierra Club and other environmental groups so as to avoid Congressional oversight and record keeping laws. She was an advisor to Biden in the first year of his term.
So just like a typical local govt. library.
The entire Federal Government shouldn’t be trusted to do anything at this point. ALL of it has become a giant corrupt cesspool. Both political parties are a joke as well. It’s now “We the people” VS The DC establishment and all of its corrupt tentacles.
Washington DC votes for Democrats 93%-7%. So it’s a bit more than 75% overall.
This is why the J6 “trials” are such a farce and why our President Trump is in such grave danger.
Check out this article by Julie Kelly, queen of everything J6.
It is terrifying to think what will happen when the Proud Boys are convicted.
https://amgreatness.com/2023/04/27/outcome-of-proud-boys-trial-could-decide-trumps-fate/
It is terrifying. Reading it makes me want to.throw up.
The most dangerous words in the English language are “I’m from the Government and I’m here to help”. Ronald Reagan
All by design. This awaits Trump should he secure the election.
They ought to all
start studying
The US Constitution.
-Maybe they’ll really learn something.
Hope the test to work for WE THE PEOPLE is tough.
They haven’t cared about the Constitution in years.
It’s just a piece of paper to them.
“Bureaucratic Supremacists”
(just who do these elected people think they are)
And over time it makes people on our side of things ponder whether the constitution allowed such a government as we have had or just powerless to stop it
No, WE the People allowed it, and the Constitution DOES give us the power to stop it.
Not with the 2A, as many suggest, if it gets to that point, all is already lost.
With the 10th, of coarse.
Agree, a nation is more important than pieces of paper
BAM
A piece of paper (actually, parchment I believe) that they think should be “classified” or something, because they think its incendiary and seditious.
As for the Declaration of Independence, ..it gives them vapors, and they need time with a puppy in a safe space, just from THINKING about it.
or as Oblamo would say..”..its an imperfect document”
…a charter of negative liberties.
Barack Obama referring to the US Constitution.
For Obama, limits on government power = negative liberties.
PDJT said, at his recent rally, he OS going to have a new civil service exam, that tests knowledge/understanding of the Constitution.
If fail the test means clean out your desk, that right there would clean out the deep state.
And “Schedule F” pink slips is what will great them upon Trumps arrival.
Truth is Trump had a chance to fire 800k non essential federal employees but didn’t want to be meanie. In return, during COVID they kept there jobs while 40 million were laid off or became unemployed..
IF Trump is 47 hope he returns the favor.
Not true.
You can’t just FIRE people without cause especially federal employees and definitely not the unionized ones. Obama unionized some of them.
There were 4,000 political appointees President Trump could have fired and didn’t including James Comey. Incredibly, Jeff Sessions said that he told President Trump to fire James Comey on DAY ONE! How would things have been different with Comey gone!
So, Trump should have taken advice from Sessions on day one but he shouldn’t have taken advice from Sessions after that? Am I getting this right?
Should clarify…bu not approving Congressional budget, those 800k wouldn’t be paid. Hold out for 6 months they would be off the government coin.
The unions involved are 5th column; part of the web of international socialist organizations like The Socialist International. These entities are the very essence of “enemies foreign and domestic.”
He can. All he needs to do is reverse a long standing EO
YES!!!!
I remember it being mentioned that if a president bans the union that represents these employees, he can fire them at will
sometimes you have to do what you “can’t” do. and see what happens.
This might require the cooperation of a Freedom Caucus congress. Abolish all the courts with liberal ideological judges.
Obama made it easy for appointed people to become civil servants. Virtually impossible for Trump to fire a lot of people from Obama administration.
Dr. Lifson at American Thinker did a series of essays about these Obama actions.
Nice decent people always think others are the same. Trump was nice and decent.
Lol…lol…
pink slips at work gives them time to sabotage. lock doors on arrival. computers unplugged. key cards invalidated.
Fed Ex firing (I have seen that). swat teams with search warrants. and guns. NOTHING is too severe
They’ll blame him for vax deaths and crucify him over it.
Is it possible to weaponize audacity? That’s what it feels like they have bet the farm on.
All levels of gubmint are filled with people so arrogant that there arrogance blinds them to their own incompetence.
THAT is a MASSIVE understatement!!!
Waiting for Kevin McCarthy, Jim Jordan, Massie and Comer to begin the IMPEACHMENT of Garland and Wray? Hello! Is anybody home?
don’t hold your breath !
the home has been abandoned and squatters took over!
If the allegedly GOP conservatives in the House don’t start impeachment proceedings against every piece of crap in this stolen fraudulent administration, they need to be recalled by their respective state legislators. If these GOP mouth pieces don’t start defending about 80% of DC, they don’t serve a pay check
Members of congress are not subject to recall.
Bahahaha! You are kidding, right?
Well, I’m not kidding just pointing out the obvious, VM!
If they are going to impeach anyone, that should happen at the end of the investigation, not during early days.
Actually, a common misunderstanding and misuse of the term Impeachment, even after we all saw it play out.
To “Impeach” is like and indictment, and then there IS a trial, which is an investigation and “trying” of facts, and only then is there a CONVICTION.
So, an Impeachment of anyone, Majorkas, whoever would involve a trial,, which would have one side laying out the accusations, the other presenting a defence, snd then a verdict.
Since the Senate would be the body to convict, and it is 98-2 Uniparty, there would be NO Convictions, of any Biden admin officials, assuming they WERE Impeached by the House.
So, a royal waste if time, accomplishing NOTHING.
Which pretty much means its right in Congresses wheelhouse.
Actually, the advantage would be it would “tie up” Congress, and they couldn’t pass any bills, so they could not bother to read them, and they couldn’t spend any more $.
Successful impeachment isn’t necessarily defined by removal.
The stain remains forever & there is some level of accountability.
We cannot complain about a lack of consequences on one hand & then condone not doing anything because of a lack of a conviction on the other hand lest we become the hypocrites we despise.
^ This.
If nothing else make the case against them and make the Senate vote.
If they are not going to impeach the likes of Garland, Biden etc … there is no point in having the procedure in the Constitution.
“So, a royal waste if time, accomplishing NOTHING.” CORRECT!
Another show trial by the so called Conservatives AKA eGOP.
I agree with Dutchman. I heard a recent interview with Kash Patel, who basically said the same. He says getting truth out however, wherever, and everywhere we can is more important. The impeachment scenario would be just circus leading nowhere, a big waste of time and money, and the Senate would never vote to remove anyone. Truth always wins. Though I know we’ve been waiting a long time for Truth! President Trump is our Truth, and that’s a big reason why they hate him so much.
No point in doing so….they will not be removed from office.
You would put them through hell exposing all of the crimes they committed and publicly humiliate them! It would ruin their reputation and kill any changes of a seven figure corporate position!
They don’t CARE about ‘reputations’ and it would likely INSURE a book deal, University professorship, and several corporate board positions.
Did you see the picture of Comey, McCabe and Stroxz, standing in line for a free meal at the homeless shelter?
Me, neither.
Touché
Exactly. Accountability.
Didn’t hurt Clinton. Bounced right off of Trump.
Yes, there’s a point.
The stain of impeachment remains forever & there is some level of accountability.
We cannot complain about a lack of consequences on one hand & then condone not doing anything because of a lack of a conviction on the other hand lest we become the hypocrites we despise.
The process is the punishment, it’s Lawfare thrown back in their face.
They won’t waste the taxpayers’ time or MONEY until they have the votes and majority to impeach, which they do not. That is not their fault – it’s the fault of the people who keep voting for these Democrats.
What makes you think real live people are voting for the Democrats?
TY Dutch!
“What makes you think real live people are voting for the Democrats?”
Dead people do not vote.
And,
I’ve met a lot of real life people who Voted for Hillary Clinton.
Think again. Several investigations have found ‘dead people’ voting. Been going on for years. Ballot harvesting.
“Think again. Several investigations have found ‘dead people’ voting. Been going on for years. Ballot harvesting.”
Dead people do not vote, because they are dead.
They need help.
Undead Democrats are the help.
Democrats vote using dead People’s names.
I hope that clears up your confusion of what I meant..
Semantics
1 They don’t want President Harris
2 If both Biden and Harris are impeached on the same ticket they were selected on, then McCarthy becomes president. McCarthy has spent his entire life seeking to be Speaker of the House and has no intentions of becoming president.
I think Trump has to move the federal government out of DC. They are all clustered there reinforcing each other. Split the agencies and departments out making the 50 states and not in cities. People will quit. New different people will get jobs. They don’t need to be there.
Just like Alon found out with Twadder. What did he do? He pinkslipped 70% of the work force. Twadder is going along just fine without the dead wood.
DC is a dead forest.
Dead forests are highly flammable; capable of untold collateral damage.
Almost as dangerous as a deep coal mine fire.
There is always collateral damage in a war.
Somebody needs to strike a match.
We moved most of the Navy Bureau of Personnel out of the DC region… the majority quit rather than moving to TN… as one of the transition officers (from TN), I was convinced that the black employees thought that slavery and lynchings were still in existence… the white employees were convinced that the culture was so far beneath them, there was no way they were living there… the Navy was better off rid of the employees who quit.
With all the background agitating going on, all the inbred Public servants White anting, Pence and Sessions I am surprised he got anything done at all. Declassified documents and Barr slow walked it.
As someone who works in the gibmint, I would gladly escape the DC area. My family links to this area go back to the 1640s, but it has become unlivable. As for leadership, it’s worse than I’ve ever seen.
I get your point. There is no leadership.
It’s like their all besotted with SSRIs.
A near total failure of trustee culture. It’s emblematic of all the major institutions, corporations, foundations and non-profits.
Damn scary, that.
He moved BLM out west, and biden wants to bring it back into the fold of corruption.
I recall much of this clearly since they moved it to Grand Junction, CO where I lived at the time. I read a number of articles on it, including the incredibly whining from so many flunkies who refused to move and quit, or demanded so many perks to delay any move.
If any Congressional committee with oversight of Interior investigated, I bet they would find many millions wasted because the bureaucracy did whatever they could to delay the move.
Their headquarters in Grand Junction always looked like nobody worked there. No cars in the parking lot and no additional traffic.
According to this article, the unqualified Interior Secretary moved the HQ back to DC. 87% resigned or retired rather than move.
Currently only 3 employees occupy the offices.

I agree but the concern would be the tenacious progressive marxist would figure out a way to infiltrate every area of government and be more determined to turn red states purple to blue.
Nah, it needs permanent closure sans a handful of supporting staff for the branches and tbt 4th one sunk into an abyss
Nah. Just cut their budgets 30%.
Cut their budgets 50%. And start at the top. Little oeople at the bottom of the salary scale are not the ones making the decisions. They FOLLOW the top crew. Fire all the top ones.
Three – five layers down!
That would be about right. Wasn’t it the EPA that furloughed ~95% of their employees as non-essential during the last government shutdown? If 95% are non-essential, it’s a good bet that 50% are unnecessary.
80%
Unfortunately, the hiring bosses know what they are there for and will just hire more wokie nutcases. Trump needs to figure out how to get rid of the SES and start cleaning the Augean Stables!
SES can be moved at the will of the government.
The SES should be dissolved. Tyranny of the scribes.
Takes an EO. They work for the executive branch. Protection has to be rescinded. Congress can’t do it with a bill unless the POTUS signs it; and you’ll never get an override because Congress relies on too many government workers votes.
He already HAS “figured it out” and had the plan in place for his second term.
He HAS sketched out the outline, in his rally speaches, does no one LISTEN?
But Dutch, didn’t you know…last night BOB said Trump didn’t say anything new…🙄
I like that idea. The first offices should be located in California City or east Bakersfield. Weed them all out.
It should be distributed across flyover country for continuity of government and national security interests.
It’s strategically insane to be so geographically centralized. Zoom solves the availability to Congress problem that made the centralization essential.
Would love to see DHS central office relocated to the West Texas/Mexico border. Move FAA to Kansas. Department of Ag to Missouri. Department of the Interior to Western Colorado.
Let DC become national center for museums, monuments and mausoleums; a perfect preparation for the gerontocracy that is the Biden era. Send everything else to the boonies.
That’s what DC originally was; the boonies; a solitary swamp far away from the major centers of industry and culture. That’s a good idea worth repeating.
No offense to Alaska, but I like the idea of moving the NIH & FDA headquarters there, along with the Dept. of Ed, the & EPA. Why, there’s so much inexpensive tundra to build housing for them, it could save them a lot of money. And taxpayers. Surely there is plenty of land for them to build acres of wind mill farms also, so they could be self-sustainable. I would guess there is plenty of wind up there, especially in the winter months. And it seems safer than DC.
Just close all the agencies you mentioned, entirely.
Save alaska for some marginally useful agencies.
Close Dept of Ed and the EPA
You are completely and totally wrong. Spending the money to move something like this is costly and will not fix anything. Close most of it down. Much of what the federal government does should be done by the states. Cut the remainder by 2/3’s. “They” do not do much that is productive.
Am I wrong in believing Rep Turner is not exactly an eager Trump supporter. He has criticized him often in the past.
You should ask Mike how much he likes Biden?
Why is Congressman Mike Turner the head of anything. He’s a Rhino….
“He’s a Rhino…”
You answered your own question.
Most likely a senior RINO.
Copy that 👌 👍 Sundance.
👉 I suppose just like the recent Covid-19 mandates such as masks 😷 and so-called “social distance” rules, a vast number of people assume without question this is the new “normal” that ALL must comply with in order to “exist”👈.
😒In short order the followers accept the new “normal” then they really begin to believe it then they😈 turn against those who simply want to engage with logic, thoughtful alternatives and actual truth.😳
⚠️After this process is done it’s really easy for the propagandized to ignore the rotting “30,000 lb blue whale 🐋”, about to crush the house 🏠 with the compliant home 🏡 owners and their willfully deceived party 🥳 🎉 guests.
👪The additional bad news is what purifying ruination is wrought upon the entire neighborhood🤮.

Autocorrect strikes again.
We were musing with friends last weekend about our many autocorrect experiences. The consensus was if Nuclear War ever breaks out, autocorrect will likely be at the root of it.
Sometimes it gets things right. ALWAYS changes “FBI” to “FIB”, so maybe theres something to this “Artificial intelligence” after all.
Then again, maybe the FBI are such obvious liars, that even a stupid algorythm can see it?
Out of office for paid time off corrected to “out of office on POT”
An iconic post.
❤
Quite a bit of crapweaseling going on between the NARA and the DOJ. Obviously there is coordination. Who’s running the point ?
The woke WH staff of course.
Chicago Jesus
Obviously they were the plans for Little Boy and Fat Man.
Only in DC could corruption go nuclear.
corruption ALWAYS resembles “weird”
so does just plain incompetence. (re: NARA refusal to do the minimum)
you are being too polite…
when we look at the broad 10,000 mile sky fish eye lens, it’s quite clear that this dovetails into a larger comprehensive conspiracy of the administrative state/slash/secret police spy state…that was initiated BEFORE President Trump was elected, and was sworn into power, and that continues to this very day.
when little peter struckout expressed “insurance policy” to his misfit accomplice and romantic witch page, and just as Schumer expressed “six ways to sunday”.
we understand that all of these individual “activities” are all small tactical maneuvers that make up a larger strategic war plan.
take TRUMP OUT. NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES. NO MATTER HOW MUCH EXPOSURE OCCURS. NO MATTER HOW MUCH DAMAGE TO NATIONAL SECURITY HAPPENS.
take him out.
this is not just simple orange man bad political opposition.
this is the effort of a highly coordinated, well resources, extremely focused and centralized and de centralized
MILITARY OPERATION!
understand this.
the CIA and the FBI would not be capable of performing the extent of these conspiracies in such a careful and well planned and impeccably timed manner. This requires military war fighting power.
that is not to suggest that the military has the best intellectual capacity, but that there is the ability to COMMAND<CONTROL AND COORDINATE. The means to perform this across such a diverse number of front line operators, depends on specific classication and communication systems. (not smart phones…specific encrypted apps as well as 1,000’s of embedded people at the highest levels of power about the full range of business, government, state, justice, and of course state department.
My opinion that this entire take down is being coordinated specifically by DOD. And probably planned within the bowels of IC community…it’s the same view I have about HOW the bioweapon was developed and then offshored to WUHAN….much evidence points to a DARPA project, a special division within DOD.
the reasons WHY this is likely DOD as lead principal to TAKE TRUMP OUT..is because DOD has the most classification silos. There are project and covert operations within DOD that will never be known by the public…and that has been the case for a very long time.
when was the last time you ever read a FOIA case judge compelling the US military to produce classified documents and communications? Even from congress?
it never happens.
that’s where you perform your unconstitutional lawless operations…DOD.
everyone else down stream is just a customer/client and a front line operator….but the big “insurance” underwriters operate out of DOD.
eisenhower was right of course.
these are only my opinions. I cannot support these opinions on smoking gun evidence. I base these opinions of what is most probable and what has been proven to be the case in the past.
God Bless America

I think that there is a 20,000 lb whale sitting on top of every blue city in the country adding gobs of pus to whole slimy mess.
It looks to me as though he knew they would do this and set them up. They had everything in date order and catalogued and I bet they had scanned everything so they know what they took. They will also know if anything is planted.
“It’s all just so damned weird.”
YES, YES, YES!! And the number of people who continue to pretend that there is nothing weird happening is mind boggling!!
Have they ALL been bribed or blackmailed or are they just SO invested in their strange, dystopian fantasy that they simply cannot admit that they have been WRONG about everything? (And this questions covers BOTH sides of the aisle and almost ALL of the Federal/State/Local governments in ALL states, as well as the overwhelming number of so-called journalists working today, regardless of WHAT channel or medium!)
Same thing they did in Egypt and Libya. People want to fit in. Bad. Especially younger people, but dude it’s all of us. No one wants to be shunned and if all you hear is the same narrative, even though it’s changed significantly from when you were growing up, you either join the majority, or be the cyclical grumpy man who has lost all credibility – or worse, they cancel or imprison you. Most people are wise and know not to stick their necks out too, so all you see is the same old narrative being pumped 24/7 to us by the entire media as well as paid shills and deployed bots in the comment sections you frequent. This isn’t a conspiracy theory, it’s a cold hard fact.
We would do well to read up on how they did what they did in the Arab spring countries using fb and twitter and the news media.
I don’t think knowing though will help us much.
“aisle”,…there IS NO “AISLE”.
And whenever anything is touted as “Bi-partisan” it means pucker up and grab the vaseline, cause WE are about to get,…you know what.
Agree with your point but I always add that disclaimer due to the large number of people who continue to think that we could fix all of our problems if only we could get more Republicans elected!
That there is a coordinated effort to take out Trump is obvious. That it’s being run by the DoD is less certain to me. I think it’s Obama, who stuffed all government departments with his loyalists behind it. I see that a rape suit is ongoing with Bragg’s trial, this one in the wings, and no telling how many psychotic Blasey-Fords lined up til election day to practice lawfare to keep Trump from running. I would be shocked if a number of states moved to prevent Trump’s name from appearing on the ballot, requiring a great expense of time and money (and energy) to fight all of these suits up to the Supreme Court. All this has the classic signs of a post-coup government, as well as political prisoners held without trial for years, and troops stationed in the capital. I’m not sure how coordinated it is. It’s hard to tell.
Also opinion from observation. Like you, no smoking gun.
Their operating theater has a million points. It is a blanket of corruption so large that there is no big fat smoking gun. Instead, a million pea shooters are doing the job.
I would be shocked if a number of states DIDN’T move, I should have said.
One sec: are these lawyers implying that they are not going to use the defense that President Trump had plenary power to declassify?
Not how I read that at all.
My impression was that it was a shot across the bow meant specifically for the Gof8.
The Gof8 has privileged access and Trump’s attorneys are pointing out the unique way Team Trump’s exit was treated by NARA. The case could be made, given precedent and that it was not followed, that they were set up.
Then add the unusual escalation to DOJ, with quotes.
Their conclusion was apt.
They are calling on the Gof8 to initiate a legislative process which would solidify the process of the situation so that it could not be weaponized in the future.
IMO, they are pointing out they are aware it was weaponized this time.
We know. You know because we’ve notified you in writing. We know you know.
Now fix it.
This farce was planned before the election steal.
Insanity abounds, and I am done with angry. I am now immersed in hate…
No good man, that’s exactly what they want you to do. And I guarantee your hate, if ever manifested anywhere but in your head, will get you rounded up.
Before it even gets to “being rounded up” hate destroys your soul, by opening a door, Satan can walk right in.
Hate, nurtured consumes and destroys your life.
I know, I harbored hate for many years, and it nearly destroyed me.
And, it doesn’t even make you a good warrior, in fact just the opposite; consumed by hate, you are easily defeated.
That is the problem we face, in a nutshell. There are so many high powered, filthy rich forces, who are against Donald Trump being President along with the entire Democrat Communist Party and the Republican Establishment, not to mention all who were involved in the STOLEN 2020 and 2022 elections, it is a miracle President Trump hasn
t already been strapped to a gurney with an IV in his arm waiting for the nod to push the button. It is clear that God is no longer with the United States as a whole, withdrawing his hand of protection roughly around the late forties to 1963. but He still works in certain people in the United States to accomplish what He wants accomplished. That is why President Donald Trump is still safe and unharmed because God isn
t done with Donald Trump or the United States quite yet.God is very much with the USA as a whole. But God works in strange ways.
“But God works in strange ways.”
yes, but ,
I think too many people think God is there Butler.
It’s up to the people of the United States to do something about the evil in the Whitehouse.
Please stop saying the election was stolen unless you have some evidence that everyone in the world has overlooked.
Are you NUTS, McHorse?

David Ferriero needs a visit from the 3 ghosts..
Speaking of “willful blindness” , one might make a case that NARA, as a federal agency, engaged in willful blindness, or even willful negligence, for not following long established standard operating procedures for assuming physical and legal custody of DJT’s documents as they had for past Presidents. I believe that finding of willful behavior by NARA negates any federal government criminal case. There is also a question of entrapment.
Business as usual in the land of no accountability.
It’s like something. straight out of Alice In Wonderland!
Ain’t it though?
Do they do group drug sessions to come up with these endless schemes?

I still get chills thinking about it.
Thank you for sharing. Every time they attack him he grows stronger, his popularity grows stronger, and our awareness of the degree of absolute corruption there is against We the People in our Federal Government.
Sundance and CTH used to be an echo chamber. Now there are many, and rippling out from them is an exponentially growing distain for the corruption of our government, recognition that our own government is abusing, allowing abuse, and selling opportunity for abuse of us.
Our founders would hang most of them.
I’d say a bit less than an echo chamber than an incubator perhaps.
Your point is well taken however, that there are many more voices and outposts of sanity joining in now.
Dystopia Now has many enemies and I’m proud to be one, along with my Treeper Family!
You have millions..yes millions here in Canada too..
Not all of course know about this treasure of a site, but Covid, Trudeau the psychopath and his henchmen have created a massive resistance.
Cheers!
Yep.
The Conspiracy is global, the West is in deep doo doo, and the Anglosphere leads the pack.
Shameful, but they are only infuriating the good and honest and provoking them to prepare.
I can’t shake the sense The House of Windsor is at the bottom of this emerging Great Game Empire.
We have dimwitted King of great ambition, and the NZ/AUS/CA nexus is all about the subject feudalization of the people of those once great modern countries.
The government insiders have turned their societies into glorified nurseries for the infantilized masses, never citizens and forever subjects of the crown.
These “leaders” are not our friend. Particularly Justin Trudeau.
It’s getting harder to dispute that very possibility.
Dopey Chuck wants to restore the glory of the original globalist empire.
You mean BEFORE the Windsors were brought in?/sarc
They might not be willing to bother with a rope; just dispatch them on sight. It was a wartime mood back then.
😲😲😲
The entire federal government needs to be permanently ended
So small it should become that essentially we the people can take back our stolen pirated tax dollars
What set Donald Trump apart from any presidential candidate we’ve had in a long time was his wealth. When he was running in 2016, his being a billionaire allowed him to run his campaign in certain ways, sleeping and showering on his plane while traveling, not being beholden to donors to any great extent, and so on. Fast forward a mere seven years, and they have counterfeited so much money that they don’t even have to try to pretend to show him any respect. To move the needle now you need Elon type money. Because the enemy has that same kind of money, and they can buy everything, and everyone, and they do
Because you can buy a person working at the National Archives, and it looks like they have. But I don’t know that you can buy Elon. I think it’s really good that we have one of those guys on our side finally.
And even though DJT’s net worth has probably been halved, he still has enough to not be beholden to.donors. Fortunately he still generates sufficient cash flow to not disrupt his lifestyle. And we all know what an unhappy wife can be like. Pray and help others
Elon has done more for mankind than anyone in history. I hope he runs someday, but that may sour his legacy bc he’s not cut out for it.
Like taking manufacturing to China? I guess you did say mankind and not the US.
Not everyone. There are some people that will not sell their integrity, not for any price.
Admittedly, they are rare, but they exist.
KL was offered whatever it would take, to not run for office for two years recently, and she turned it down.
Its similar to those that refuse a plea bargain and “rolling over” and giving perjured testimony in exchange for a lighter sentence.
There are many Cohens, few Manaforts, but they DO exist.
The US created a whole agency of Conan The Librarians that think they are not only above the law, but above the entire Congressional Oversight. A true Wag-The-Dog Agency.
Delete the Agency, Fire every person in the agency, and start a new one. Remember Reagan firing the Air Traffic Contollers? Every Agency that is weaponized and is not a Constitutionally required Agency needs to be destroyed.
Start from Scratch. FILTHY LIBERALS heads will explode. Hopefully.
Eh, I would say corrupt as opposed to weird. This didn’t happen by accident, it was a planned take down by the deep state. Your explanation of it is much better than the initial I read which made it look like Trump was trying to get the legislature to bail him out. DOJ/FBI must be defunded by 1/2. Wray must be fired.
No. Wray must be prosecuted and stripped of his assets
And he should have a lot of company
Another setup by the pretorian guard DC. Useless breathers.
As I recognized immediately ~ on the day of the raid ~ someone ~ not NARA ~ had gone through the White House and Executive Office Building and collected every piece of paper, etc. associated with the Trump Administration and packed it in boxes which were then sent to the Riverdale Facility.
NARA would ordinarily go through all that and pull out all the President’s clearly personal material ~ instead they appeared to have directed GSA to just send it all to Mar A Lago!
The ONLY people who are allowed to rummage around in the WH like that have to have a top secret clearance to be allowed into the WH complex, as well as a top secret clearance lest they encounter some classified material.
That pretty well reduces the number of people who can do the work ~ to NARA, FBI, Secret Service, State Department, and then only top officials (the WH clearance takes care of keeping out the riff raff eh)….
I’m guessing the NARA crowd knew the FBI had agents there who were salting the files being sent to Mar A Lago, and they didn’t want to get blamed for it.
In answer to the question of where did the FBI act to salt the files ~ was it in Florida on the raid, or in DC on Moving Day.
FBI, DOJ or Pence staff member, sometimes it’s hard to distinguish. 😉
Although on a per capita basis Ukraine is the most corrupt country n earth, on an absolute basis America is now the most corrupt country on earth.
Agreed,
IMO maybe the worst as they have deceived so many good and decent citizens of the U.S.A.
More importantly they have been directly responsible for untold death, destruction and mayhem.
I am praying that President Trump is once again elected.
The alternative will be a world in free fall.
God bless PDJT
And they are intimately intertwined .
“America is now the most corrupt country on earth.”
Not everything is a contest.
But, The most corrupt country on earth ?
we would lose to;
Somalia, South Sudan, North Korea , Syria, China etc..
The DC Syndicate that’s controlled by a group of nefarious, unethical, morally bankrupt players has been out to get Trump from day one, when he announced he was running for President of the United States. These corrupt individuals have used every dirty trick in the book to destroy Donald Trump. They have shown that they have no respect for our Constitutional Republic, The Bill of Rights or the Rule of Law. They openly embrace evil and try to convince We the People that the evil they embrace is actually good by censoring the truth.
‘You Don’t Know What The Warrant Says?’
‘There are no criminal penalties attached the the Presidential Records Act… does not exclude classified documents…’
‘personal records are excluded from the Acts preservation requirements’
‘the Court’s view under the statutory scheme established by the presidential records act the decision to segregate personal materials from presidential records is made by the president during the president’s term and in his sole discretion’
‘according to the presidential records Act only President Trump had the authority to determine presidential versus personal records…’
It is rather astounding to me that a senior official such as the FBI Director is not required to have appropriate legal staff on the floor, sitting right beside him, who can provide meaningful replies. If a Member of Congress makes a direct question, he is entitled to a direct and immediate answer. And, yes, “the flames are intended to be burning underneath your feet.”
Thank you Sundance
It is truly fascinating Vladimir Putin may save America from the scoundrels in Washington DC.
He seems to know precisely who needs to be bombed back to the stone age and has no problem doing it.
A hysterical Victoria Nuland and a U.S. military full of men believing they are women don’t strike fear in anybody. They draw gales of laughter from around the world.
Putin must be praying Voltaire’s famous prayer, “Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.” His prayer is being answered.
Vladimir is giving Biden and the Democrats a lot of tough love!
talk about long tentacles….trump.litigation in NY,DC,GA, and probably a couple queued up somewhere
we will soon learn about. rudy and a few in GA….such a powerful machine they have
It takes a special kind of evil to first conceive, and then weave, these interconnecting plots to destroy PDJT.
How many times have we seen the questionable activities of Clinton, Obama, and Biden. The Mar-a-Lago raid was aided by the close relationship of the Bush family, with the Judge authorizing the raid. I find the double even tripling of standards taken by the Biden, DOJ and NARA to be shocking. Plus, the DOJ and NARA have never even asked the Biden VP what he was doing with 1800+ boxes of classified documents.
Davis argues that Biden wanted to get back documents showing the Clinton, Obama, and Biden connections to Russian collusion and Garland did the raid to cover up for Biden. Only Biden could waive Trump’s executive privilege.

It was a total inside job set up.
President Trump has out vote.
No apology and be offended if you don’t like that.
One of the most insightful articles and letter I have ever read.
Welcome to the Treehouse!
Sundance never ceases to amaze.
“The letter is written to HPSCI Chair Mike Turner and copied to the other seven members of the gang-of-eight in the Senate and House.”
Meanwhile, the incredibly rotten media were describing Trumps lawyers as begging House Republicans to save him from this mess.
A mess that is clearly a bipartisan hit job.
mr ####ing ukraine.
How old is this clip?
what a twink
President Trump’s legal team are documenting that the current witch hunt is not following the laws.
By doing so directly to the gang of eight they are now in a position to act and if they do not respond and or do so they are as complicit as the Nazi Lawfare cabal.
Make no mistake anyone associated with and or working for Lawfare down to the receptionist is no better than those that worked for Hitler.
Wow, thanks for this. I didn’t know NARA was so scary. And to think they are in charge of our Nation’s history.
Nothing weird about it- the administrative wants to frame him and keep him litigiously occupied with fake lawsuits and character assassinations for as long as they have to. These are the enemies of the state and deserve a complete and total demolition. Fire them all and then prosecute them to cancel their pensions and ruin them financially through lawsuits.
What’s gonna happen is they’re gonna push trump into a dictator or pussy role. It’s his second term, I bet he goes dictator on them, but that works in their favor no matter what he does to them. We are screwed, like usual.
McHorse, I’ve seen three comments by you…you are tiresome and tedious.
Trump did nothing wrong.
Time to raid Obama’s and Bush’s WH Document stash.
The FBI needs to be dismantaled. All their leadership and raid participants held in a Montana prision until crimes and charges are brought against them. It may take years but I can wait.
MAGA 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻
IMO, the Biden/Pence document revelations were to create cover for what was done to PDJT. Nothing further will happen regarding those two.
As the NA told Turner, it’s been going on since Reagan. Notice no raid’s on Clinton, Bushies, or Zero.
“We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.”― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
What do you call 70-80% of the DC federal bureaucracy lying at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean?
A good start!
Then layer on top Bagpipes idiotic comments. The Imperial Capitol is in full control and will do as they please-No lie is to big, no act to treasonous for there will be no accountability.
It would appear this was a time bomb set to be triggered if needed to (try) blow up PDJT chances for another run.
