You may remember the year 2017, the first year of President Trump’s first term in office when the entire Main Justice, FBI and Intelligence Community apparatus was leaking manufactured, sometimes classified information, to the media.

Against President Trump’s furious demands, the Dept of Justice, Jeff Sessions, Rod Rosenstein and Dana Boente announced a widespread ‘whole of govt’ effort to find the leakers in an effort to stop the outflow.

The leakers were later identified, albeit never prosecuted, as top DOJ, FBI and Intelligence Community (DNI, CIA) officials.  However, the insufferable hunt for them was also shown to be mostly nonsense, because the apparatus of DC just didn’t care.

With orange Hitler in the White House, the Washington DC Uniparty didn’t care how he was taken out – they just wanted him gone.  We all remember it well.

In the latest release of information, from FBI Director Kash Patel to John Solomon, part of the leak hunting files has been made public. [SEE HERE].  I would note, the FBI file constructs are intentionally obtuse, because: (a) they come from multiple silos by design; and (b) they don’t outline a useful timeline to tell the story.  This is done on purpose.

Now, before the Q-adherents and alt-media clickbait crowd start to generate false-hope soundbites and column inches from the data, let me be crystal clear:

Absolutely nothing will come of this release, AND that cannot be emphasized enough; because in the final analysis, evidence released to John Solomon – is, by its nature – never going to be used in court proceedings.

If the DOJ and FBI planned to use the evidence in court, they would not be giving it to their clickbait friends in media.

That said, here’s some first review perspectives on the release anyway.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin appeared for a podcast interview with Miranda Devine where he outlined billions of EPA dollars that were transferred to various passthroughs as an outcome of the Inflation Reduction Act (aka Green New Deal).

As noted by Administrator Zeldin, various investigations are now underway to determine who structured the payments as the EPA begins clawing back the money.  The numbers are staggering, $20+ billion.  WATCH:

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has announced a major shift in reducing the role of the Intelligence Community and eliminating the politization of intelligence information.

As we have discussed on these pages for several years, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence was created shortly before the Obama administration took power, and subsequently the fledgling organization was weaponized for domestic influence operations. DNI Tulsi Gabbard takes a major step in addressing this problem.

In the era shortly after 9/11, the DC national security apparatus was constructed to preserve continuity of government and simultaneously view all Americans as potential threats.  The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) were created specifically for this purpose.

What Barack Obama and Eric Holder did with that new construct was refine the internal targeting mechanisms so that only their ideological opposition became the target of the new national security system.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Wednesday, Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard announced a long-overdue transformation of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) to refocus on executing its core national security mission with integrity in the most agile, effective, and efficient way. This will reduce ODNI by over 40% by the end of fiscal year 2025 and save taxpayers over $700 million per year and better enable ODNI to focus on fulfilling its critical role of serving as the central hub for intelligence integration, strategic guidance, and oversight over the Intelligence Community.

Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard continues her effort to deconstruct the politicization of the intelligence community with the revocation of security clearances from 37 intelligence analysts.  Many of these names are from the fraudulent Intelligence Community letter that dismissed the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation.

In a Twitter announcement today, DNI Gabbard posts a notification letter that the security clearances are revoked effective immediately. Most of the names on the list are unknown to the general public, but these are the people buried deep inside the intelligence information system who are tasked with interpreting intelligence data.

The names on the list come mostly from the staff pool of the National Security Council (NSC), CIA National Intelligence Council (NIC), State Dept. and various sub-silos within the offices that deliver finished intelligence products to the CIA, FBI Counterintelligence Division, NSA intelligence analysis center and ultimately the DNI and White House.

These are the sources of politicized, often manufactured, intelligence interpretations.

When former National Security Advisor Susan Rice, DNI James Clapper and former CIA Director John Brennan said, “give me this outcome,” the targeted names today are the people who constructed the fraud.  Some of the names, like Beth Sanner, are currently working as “National Security Analysts” for various media operations, like CNN.

Several names on the list are former intelligence analysts who signed the letter manufactured by former Acting CIA Director Mike Morrell about the Biden laptop.

Following a historic peace summit consisting of EU leaders attending the White House, President Donald Trump says arrangements are beginning for a bilateral meeting between the leaders of Russia and Ukraine.  If the approach is successful, this could be a significant move toward ending the conflict between the two countries.

President Trump – “I had a very good meeting with distinguished guests, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, of Ukraine, President Emmanuel Macron, of France, President Alexander Stubb, of Finland, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, of Italy, Prime Minister Keir Starmer, of the United Kingdom, Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Friedrich Merz, President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, in the White House, which ended in a further meeting in the Oval Office.

During the meeting we discussed Security Guarantees for Ukraine, which Guarantees would be provided by the various European Countries, with a coordination with the United States of America. Everyone is very happy about the possibility of PEACE for Russia/Ukraine.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has announced his resignation from the state AG position to take a role at the top of the FBI silo.   Pam Bondi has appointed Andrew Bailey as Co-Deputy FBI Director to serve alongside Dan Bongino.

This outcome and appointment make a lot of sense. Missouri AG Andrew Bailey helped expose the DHS manipulation of social media and has pushed the envelope against the Deep State/Lawfare attacks against Donald Trump.

Bailey has used the power of his office for good purposes and provided cautious optimism he could do the same at a federal level in the position. {GO DEEP}

Two weaknesses with the appointment of Kash Patel and Dan Bongino were that neither of them had large institutional leadership experience, and neither had organized long investigative processes within the legal system.  The concerns therein were never about intent, but rather, their ability.

Andrew Bailey provides a boost in experience that both the Director and Deputy are lacking.  This is not a slight against Kash Patel and Dan Bongino, the appointment of a subject matter expert is strategically necessary.

AG ANDREW BAILEY  Press Release – […] “Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced today that he will resign effective on September 8, 2025.

“It has been a humbling privilege to serve as the 44th Attorney General of the State of Missouri, and I am forever grateful to the people of Missouri for the opportunity to represent our state and your families. My life has been defined by a call to service, and I am once again answering that call, this time at the national level. But wherever I am called, Missouri is and always will be home,” said Attorney General Bailey. “I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to serve as the Co-Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. I extend my deepest gratitude to President Trump and U.S. Attorney General Bondi for the privilege to join in their stated mission to Make America Safe Again.”

I have been asked to recap some of my research into cited formats of what I believe to be criminal conduct, with specific statutes against them. This is the fourth.

DNI Tulsi Gabbard is not a lawyer. While I may be wrong, I find Tulsi Gabbard to be a patriot. Mrs. Gabbard is focused on providing evidence to the DOJ that essentially forces action. I support Tulsi Gabbard’s efforts.

If there is one corrupt DC player who has escaped scrutiny for her corrupt endeavors, it would be Mary McCord.

More than any other Lawfare operative within Main Justice, Mary McCord sits at the center of every table in the manufacturing of cases against Donald Trump. {GO DEEP} Mary McCord’s husband is Sheldon Snook; he was the right hand to the legal counsel of Chief Justice John Roberts.

When the Carter Page FISA application was originally assembled by the FBI and DOJ, there was initial hesitancy from within the DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) about submitting the application, because it did not have enough citations in evidence (the infamous ‘Woods File’).  That’s why the Steele Dossier ultimately became important.  It was the Steele Dossier that provided the push, the legal cover needed for the DOJ-NSD to submit the application for a Title-1 surveillance warrant against the campaign of Donald J. Trump.

When the application was finally assembled for submission to the FISA court, the head of the DOJ-NSD was John Carlin.  Carlin quit working for the DOJ-NSD in late September 2016 just before the final application was submitted (October 21,2016).  John Carlin was replaced by Deputy Asst. Attorney General, Mary McCord.

♦ When the FISA application was finally submitted (approved by Sally Yates and James Comey), it was Mary McCord who did the actual process of filing the application and gaining the Title-1 surveillance warrant.
