[ConservativeTreehouse] A formal announcement is likely tomorrow; however, leading information now affirms Acting AG Todd Blanche is moving Joe DiGenova and Christopher-James DeLorenz into positions in South Florida to assist U.S. Attorney Jason Quiñones in ongoing investigation of the Donald Trump targeting. The venue puts any grand jury information in the court orbit of Judge Aileen Cannon.
Before getting into the substance, the alignment here is critical to understand. Judge Cannon saw firsthand exactly what the Lawfare constructs consist of when she had the Jack Smith operation in her court during the Mar-a-Lago documents case. Judge Cannon knows the context of weaponized justice and saw the techniques through first-hand experience. This cannot be emphasized enough.
There are a lot of people who want to see some form of accountability finally delivered for the decade-long corrupt Lawfare operation that took place against Donald Trump before he took office (Spygate), during his administration (Russiagate, Mueller, Impeachment), after he left office took office (Jack Smith and Mar-a-Lago) and even through today (Judicial Intervention). Many of those voices have concerns about 81-year-old Joe diGenova, so let me address that first by pointing out how the issues that frame the criticism are also a valuable asset.
Joe diGenova has a very rare current perspective; he completely sees the timeline of Trump targeting for what it is. This is immensely valuable because not enough people understand the complex continuum enough to stand back and see the bigger picture. diGenova sees the bigger picture.
diGenova can see the 2015/2016 FBI contractor political spying operation (Spygate) and how it connects to the later Fusion GPS/Clinton construct of Russiagate. More importantly, diGenova sees the connective tissue -the actual characters- flowing from Spygate, through Russiagate, into the Mueller investigation, then into the impeachment effort and then into the Jack Smith operation. Seeing the big picture is the first step.
Now, critics point out that diGenova is a creature of DC. Yes, that is true. However, that’s also an asset given that he understands just how difficult it is to navigate through all of these ridiculous DC interests. diGenova is also a character, boisterous perhaps intemperate and easy to Alinsky (isolate, ridicule, marginalize). So what? It doesn’t matter who is involved in this effort, they are going to be Alinsky’d by the Lawfare operatives on the other side.
Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing see the big picture and have a skillset to tell the story. They can assist brilliantly and direct the telling of the story by connecting the lead prosecutors to the background script of how everything unfolded over the past decade. If Quiñones is researching a “conspiracy” case, it is the primary job of the investigative researchers to connect each of the evidence dots to the larger conspiracy. Sounds perfect for diGenova.
diGenova can put the prior weaponization into a timeline and from that timeline extract the step-by-step evidence that proves it. This timeline of targeting and how it is all connected has been missing in every investigative review up to now. That’s the value of diGenova.
This doesn’t mean diGenova is in the courtroom per se’, but rather he’s the one explaining the sequencing of witnesses for a grand jury and how the questioning of one might relate to the questioning of another.
Christopher-James DeLorenz has the skillset of knowing Judge Aileen Cannon and the internal machinery of a modern Main Justice. Put them together and the lead prosecutor in Florida has a formidable team putting the details onto the table in front of him/her.
This could have been done in DC years ago by the House Select Subcommittee on Weaponization; however, they did not have the skillset nor the operational strength to push through the DC politics as a group. Former Representative Dan Bishop is a current U.S. Attorney in North Carolina, and he said it wasn’t fear that screwed up the subcommittee effort as it was republican political leadership stopping the subcommittee from aggressively investigating the whole matter, the big picture.
There are rumors that Blanche has assigned diGenova because President Trump is frustrated with Main Justice on this issue. I don’t know if that is true, but jumping ju-ju-bones – could you blame Trump?
Remember, former AG Jeff Sessions ridiculously recused himself putting Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein responsible for all of the time during the Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann targeting. President Trump wanted to declassify records directly related to his targeting, but Rod Rosenstein kept telling White House lawyers that if Trump released anything Mueller would view that as “interference or obstruction.”
Even the memo written by Devin Nunes was considered ‘obstruction’ by the Mueller team, and that was simply Nunes sending Trey Gowdy and John Ratcliffe to read the Carter Page FISA warrant and write down their opinion of it. Remember that stupid battle with the DOJ/FBI and IC?
Then came Bill Barr who told President Trump not to declassify and release any information, or he would be interfering with Robert Mueller then ridiculously John Durham. Over and over again President Trump was told he could not declassify and release documents or he would be guilty of some form of obstruction.
To be fair, with the context of the impeachment evidence now at the forefront, it is obvious the end goal of the Mueller operation was to provoke Trump into doing something that could be classified as “obstruction” which would then kick-off an impeachment. That was the purpose of all Mueller and Weissmann’s effort.
The day after Mueller’s embarrassing testimony to congress, the Ukraine-centric impeachment effort was triggered. All of the tools and Lawfare operatives (McCord, Atkinson et al) were in position for an impeachment, regardless of what the angle was.

Be interesting to see a Rasmussen poll on what Americans think of the FBI.

@1 The FBI as a whole or it's leadership in DC and some of the other more prominent cities that one has to go through to get promoted to DC leadership?
I think the average rank & file FBI agent is honest and doing their job as best they can. It's the leadership that is the issue and some more of the higher rank people need to be fired and if possible prosecuted

There were a few ruffled feathers in thr Florida regional offices following 9/11. A female agent was in the news for a short time talking about the hijackers, Then the discussions just disappeared. When issues just disappear it always gives me pause.
[PJ Media] The Director of National Intelligence's declassification of documents this week proved that the impeachment of President Donald Trump 45 for a phone call about Ukraine was an utterly fabricated put-up job. We all suspected it, but the released docs confirm it. And now we're seeing stunning video of the lawyer in charge of the impeachment also confirming the gobsmacking reason behind it.
The documents reveal yet another false story that "deep state actors within the intelligence community" fabricated, and the laundering of that phony story through a fake "whistleblower," whom DNI Tulsi Gabbard has now referred for prosecution.
Post Brennan, Haspel, and Comey graphic here please.
A lot of focus has been on Eric Ciaramella, the Obama holdover in Trump 45 world who was a Biden acolyte, and worked with the then-vice president on Ukraine matters.
Ciaramella cited double or triple hearsay evidence and had no direct knowledge of the phone call but, like a game of telephone, was told about it afterward. Later, the Inspector General, who's also been referred for prosecution, ignored the hearsay, took his whistleblower complaint form (there's a suggestion that he swapped it) and never bothered to read the transcript of the actual conversation.
The part of the conversation that raised Ciaramella's antennae was when Trump asked Ukraine's new president Volodymyr Zelensky to get him information being reported that Joe Biden was shaking down the new government for financial gain for himself and his son, Hunter. One of Hunter Biden's "deliverables" for the Ukraine energy company Burisma paying him $1 million was to get rid of the prosecutor investigating the company. There's widely reported video of Joe Biden gloating about withholding $1 billion to Ukraine in exchange for firing the prosecutor.
The phone call with Zelensky happened right after the Robert Mueller special prosecutor's report showed no Russia collusion, and after Mueller himself flamed out in congressional testimony.
They needed another scandal to Get Trump. Enter the Ukraine phone call and subsequent impeachment, which none other than the lefty anti-Trump lawyer Norm Eisen ran.
A 2024 video I saw the other day of Eisen, the man in charge of most of the lawfare (with Project 65 and Marc Elias) against President Trump, confirms that the Ukraine operation was done to cover up Joe Biden's shady and illegal deals in the one-time Soviet state. He says as much on a podcast that has resurfaced.
🚨Top Democrat political consultant and campaign strategist, James Carville, just stated on the Left-wing ’Policon’ podcast that when the Democrats regain power, they plan to:
-Grant statehood to Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico, so that the Democrats can unlock 4 extra seats in... pic.twitter.com/z04hVHc3Vw
-Pack the U.S. Supreme Court from 9 Justices up to 13 Justices, adding another 4 Left-wing Justices to the court.
-Reopen the U.S.-Mexico border and grant mass-amnesty to every single alien currently inside of the United States.
-His advice to Democrat politicians: “Don’t run on it. Don’t talk about it. Just do it.”
Opium dreams. To accomplish these things they would need to have supermajorities in both House and Senate, or majorities in both plus the White House. Given that they’re going to have serious difficulties cheating their way to victory in most red states, what odds they will have enough Electoral College votes to get the White House and enough votes for to get the necessary majorities in both House and Senate? But it’s lovely that he feels safe enough to say such things where we cqn find out about it.

Before they can regain power and do as Carville suggests, Repubicans should approve statehood for the eastern counties of Washington state, Oregon and California. California in particular should be split into six separate states. Dunno how many you can get from Washington and Oregon but I believe the citizens in those counties would love to get out from under Seattle and Portland as much as citizens in inland California would love to get out from under the crooked morons in Sacramento. Any one of these new states would certainly be bigger in terms of both geography and population than some of the eastern seaboard states like Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Delaware. They'd certainly bigger and more viable than DC and Puerto Rico.

Cheating will be much harder to accomplish in most states even without the SAVE Act. I don’t see a pathway to power for Dems nationally without a lot of cheating. I believe that Bayou Skeletor will be disappointed.

Could well be the citizens of southern Illinois would like to break away from all the corruption in Chicago too.

Many of the states could be split into blue/red enclaves. I'm sure Texas could do without Austin and Houston. The California landing zones would be good carve-outs.
#7
If California split into a number of smaller states without any area joining areas of other states, I think it would be a net gain of Senators for the Dems and a net gain of Representatives for the the Republicans, depending on the number of new states.
The Dems gerrymandering would be much less effective then. If just the preposed State of Jefferson was created, it would be win win for the Republicans.
