[GatewayPundit] Project Veritas on Tuesday released a bombshell story from a whistleblower alleging former US Attorney General Bill Barr along with media figure Armstrong Williams is running an illegal immigration visa fraud scheme for elites and billionaires.
Patrícia Lélis, whistleblower, former Brazilian journalist at Howard Stirk Holdings, who is in hiding abroad, told Project Veritas that she was prosecuted after reporting Bill Barr and Armstrong William to the FBI.
“It is way more easy to defraud the immigration system and the government more than people think. And I have proof of that because that’s what Armstrong [Williams] and [Former Attorney General] Bill Barr does,” she said.
Patrícia Lélis alleges wealthy foreigners are obtaining US visas through sham companies and Bill Barr not only knows about it, he is actively participating in the scheme.
Project Veritas reviewed text messages revealing Armstrong Williams “directing Patrícia Lélis to receive $700,000 into her personal account for creating a business plan for Peter and Vivienne Reis’ E-2 visa application. When Lélis raised concerns about the absence of a contract and being falsely presented as a lawyer rather than a journalist, Williams responded with threats.”
“$700,000 is nothing… you are living in the richest country in the world…stop asking so many questions and do your job if you don’t want to lose your greencard,” Armstrong Wiliams said in a text.
According to Project Veritas, the companies conducted no actual operations and Bill Barr used burner phones to hide the scheme.
“Bill Barr knows the companies that they launched for the visa was not real companies,” she told Project Veritas. “After they got their visas, I discovered they do not have any plan to open and operate the company. So, it’s basically like they create a fake company that I helped to create with them,” she said.

🚨BREAKING: Whistleblower: Former Attorney General Bill Barr and Media Figure Armstrong Williams are Running Illegal Visa Fraud Scheme for Foreign Billionaires
[FoxNews] Investigation follows criminal referral alleging senator falsified bank documents for favorable loan terms
Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., is under criminal investigation for mortgage fraud, a Trump administration source told Fox News.
Fox News host Laura Ingraham broke the news on Tuesday night on "The Ingraham Angle," saying the source said a criminal investigation is being conducted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland on possible charges involving mortgage fraud.
The investigation comes a month after a story broke about the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) sending a criminal referral to the Department of Justice (DOJ) alleging that Schiff, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms.
In a 2011 affidavit signed by the then California congressman, Schiff certified that a property in Montgomery County, Maryland, is his primary residence.
Schiff also owns a condominium in Burbank, California, which he has also claimed as his primary residence as recently as 2023, during his campaign for Senate.
Schiff's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment on the matter.
The director of the UFHFA sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in May citing alleged misconduct by Schiff.
"Based on media reports, Mr. Adam B. Schiff has, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire more favorable loan terms, impacting payments from 2003-2019 for a Potomac, Maryland-based property," FHFA Director William Pulte wrote in the letter. "As regulator of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the Federal Home Loan Banks, we take very seriously allegations of mortgage fraud or other criminal activity. Such misconduct jeopardizes the safety and soundness of FHFA’s regulated entities and the security and stability of the U.S. mortgage market."
Pulte later received a memo from the Fannie Mae financial crimes investigations concluding that Schiff allegedly engaged in "a sustained pattern of possible occupancy misrepresentation" on five Fannie Mae loans, Fox News has learned.
Schiff and his wife purchased a home in Potomac, Maryland, in 2003 for $870,000, according to the letter. They entered into a Fannie Mae-backed mortgage agreement for $610,000 at a rate of 5.625% over a term of 30 years, asserting the property would be their primary and principal residence.
The letter said they reaffirmed that the Maryland home was their primary residence in mortgage refinancing filings in 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2013, despite Schiff being an elected official representing the state of California at the same time.
Fox News obtained a copy of the 2011 affidavit showing Schiff signed certifying that the Maryland house is his primary residence.
Pulte said Schiff and his wife did not list the Maryland home as their secondary residence until 2020.
Over the same time frame, Schiff took a homeowner’s tax exemption on a condo that he owns in Burbank, California, also claiming that home as his primary residence for a $7,000 reduction off of the 1% property tax, Pulte wrote, citing media reports.
In 2023, the letter notes, a spokesperson for Schiff asserted that, "Adam’s primary residence is Burbank, California, and will remain so when he wins the Senate seat."
The federal housing official wrote that he believes Schiff's alleged misconduct could be violations of federal criminal codes banning wire fraud, mail fraud, bank fraud and false statements to financial institutions.
Schiff "appears to have falsified records in order to receive favorable loan terms, and also appears to have been aware of the financial benefits of a primary residence mortgage when compared to a secondary residence mortgage," Pulte wrote.
According to the letter, a spokesperson for Schiff in 2023 told CNN that, "Adam’s California and Maryland addresses have been listed as primary residences for loan purposes because they are both occupied throughout the year and to distinguish them from a vacation property."
Last year, the letter notes, a federal jury convicted Marilyn Mosby of making false statements on a mortgage application for a Florida condominium when she was the Baltimore City state’s attorney.

They all thought they could get away with this forever. This is ticky-tack stuff, not the rrepublic-destroying crimes that went on inside CIA, NSA and FBI.
And if they had blown Trump's head off, they'd all still be fine. But their shooter couldn't hit a watermelon at 150 yards, so here we are.
[JUDICIALWATCH.ORG] Judicial Watch announced a $4.975 million settlement today in the wrongful death lawsuit against the U.S. Government filed on behalf of the family of Ashli Babbitt, the U.S. Air Force veteran who was shot and killed inside the U.S. Capitol by then-Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd on January 6, 2021. Ashli Babbitt was the only January 6 homicide victim.
''This fair settlement is a historic and necessary step for justice for Ashli Babbitt's family. Ashli should never have been killed, and this settlement destroys the evil, partisan narrative that justified her outrageous killing and protected her killer,'' said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. ''Judicial Watch's team spent years investigating, litigating, and exposing the truth about Ashli's homicide. And credit goes to the hundreds of thousands of Judicial Watch members who supported this cause! President Trump was an absolute rock in supporting Ashli's family and advocating for justice!''
Babbitt, 35, owned and operated a successful pool business with her husband Aaron. Ashli traveled alone from San Diego to Washington, DC, to attend the Women for America First (aka Save America) rally on January 6, 2021, at the Ellipse near the White House.
The wrongful death lawsuit was filed in San Diego, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, Ashli's home venue, on January 5, 2024, against the U.S. Government on behalf of the family of Ashli Babbitt and transferred to the District of Columbia over objection (Estate of Ashli Babbitt and Aaron Babbitt, et al. v. United States of America (No. 1:24-cv-01701 (formerly 3:24-cv-00033)). In settling the lawsuit, the parties signed a ''Stipulation for Compromise Settlement and Release:''
to settle and compromise each and every claim of any kind, whether known or unknown, including claims for wrongful death, arising directly or indirectly from the acts or omissions that gave rise to the above-captioned action under the terms and conditions set forth in this Stipulation.

What's to be done about the shoot, Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd? What's to be done about the obvious entrapment of American citizens permitted to transit the Capital? Lastly, what's to be done about the mysterious pipe bomber ?

Bongino said they were investigating the pipe bomber. I suspect that Bongino will not be doing press conferences soon. Harmeet might go after Byrd at some point.

So the taxpayer is on the hook. What about making the perps personally responsible? For acting outside their authority, committing a crime "under color of law, etc, etc, etc.
[PJMedia] Federal courts have allowed two lawsuits to proceed against Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, and Illinois to force them to clean up their voter rolls.
Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... have been engaging in election fraud for well over a century and a half, but I don’t think any of us understood the extent of the election integrity problem in our day until the last few election cycles. One aspect of potential fraud is the presence of 'dirty names' on voter rolls—individuals who are not legally allowed to be there, whether because they are illegal aliens, deceased, or disqualified for other reasons. Those are the names Judicial Watch and two other organizations are suing to remove in two deep blue states.
"The voter rolls in Illinois and California are a mess and these court decisions allow our Judicial Watch legal team to proceed in court to clean them up," Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton stated in a blurb. "The stakes are high—as there are potentially millions of ineligible names on the voter rolls in these two states."
The blurb explained further:
Judicial Watch and two political organizations, Breakthrough Ideas and Illinois Family Action, and registered voter Carol Davis, sued after alleging 23 counties, with a combined 980,089 registered voters, reported removing a combined total of just 100 voter registrations under a key provision of federal law over the past two-year period (Judicial Watch Inc. et al. v. Illinois State Board of Elections et al. (No. 1:24-cv-01867)).
Both lawsuits can now move forward thanks to the rulings from last week.
Back in May, Judicial Watch announced that it had successfully cleared five million dirty names from voter rolls across the country. Los Angeles alone accounted for 1.2 million of those names and New York for around 900,000. Ohio, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Colorado each also cleaned out hundreds of thousands of names.
Just to give some food for thought, Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The man who made Barack Obama and Jimmy Carter look competent, if only by comparison.... won the 2020 election by about 7 million votes. Since then, the five million dirty names have been cleared from voter rolls, and more will likely be identified in the new lawsuits.
Judicial Watch added in its new release:
Recently, the Commonwealth of Kentucky reported that 735,000 ineligible voter registrations had been removed from its voter rolls since 2019 by the State Board of Elections as part of its 2018 consent decree settling a lawsuit by Judicial Watch.
The voter rolls suits aren’t the only election integrity cases ongoing. Last month, Judicial Watch filed its opening brief to the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of Rep. Mike Bost (R-Illinois) and two presidential electors. These three are before SCOTUS to vindicate their standing in a challenge to an Illinois law which has extended Election Day for 14 days past the date which has already been established by federal law.

Kentucky and Illinois use ERIC. California does not. ERIC’s high level of corruption was not sufficient for their needs.

I'd like to believe that Democrats have control of California because they cheat. But my biggest fear is that this state is a lost cause even if the Democrats can't cheat. So many people who live here are either ignorant or just plain bad people. The TV news and the newspapers don't report on anything that matters. You never hear anything about all the shit in Sacramento. Then there are the young people who've been brainwashed in the schools and have lived so long with all this corruption that they don't know any better. I really fear for this state.

[Breitbart] House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) announced Tuesday that he has issued subpoenas to some of the most powerful political figures of the past three decades to testify in an investigation centered on the “horrific crimes perpetrated by Jeffrey Epstein,” as described in the Committee’s press release.
Among those now under subpoena are:
Former U.S. Attorney General William Barr (August 18)
Former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales (August 26)
Former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions (August 28)
Former FBI Director Robert Mueller (September 2)
Former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch (September 9)
Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder (September 30)
Attorney General Merrick Garland (October 2)
Former FBI Director James Comey (October 7)
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton (October 9)
Former President Bill Clinton (October 14)
The House Oversight Committee, through Chairman Comer, subpoenaed the Department of Justice (DOJ) for all records related to Jeffrey Epstein in accordance with a bipartisan vote by the Federal Law Enforcement Subcommittee on July 23. That vote included an amendment from Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) to expand the scope of the DOJ subpoena.
In a separate motion introduced by Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) and approved by voice vote, the subcommittee directed the chairman to compel testimony from Bill and Hillary Clinton, along with several former U.S. attorneys general and FBI directors. The move is part of the committee’s broader investigation into the federal government’s handling of the Epstein case and associated individuals, including Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime accomplice who is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking of minors.
Bill Clinton’s documented interactions with Jeffrey Epstein include multiple flights aboard the now-infamous “Lolita Express,” according to his own 2024 memoir Citizen: My Life After the White House. In the book, Clinton acknowledged the flights but downplayed the relationship, writing, “I wish I had never met him.” Epstein also visited the White House at least 17 times in 1993, during Clinton’s first year in office.
As Breitbart News reported, the Department of Justice filed a motion in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York to unseal grand jury transcripts associated with Epstein’s indictment, pending court approval. The move, made at the direction of the attorney general, comes amid mounting congressional scrutiny of DOJ leadership past and present, including former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller, both of whom have now been subpoenaed to testify before the House Oversight Committee.
During an exchange with reporters on July 25, President Trump criticized the media for focusing on accusations against him while, in his view, ignoring former President Clinton’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein.
“You ought to be speaking about Bill Clinton, who went to the island 28 times,” Trump said. “I never went to the island.”

Holy fucking shit.
Anywy, this is just Congress.
A big show, but still we haven't seen anyone in handcufffs.
No trials, no convictions, no prison sentences. No looking up former elites by their inmate numbers.
It's quite possible they will all get away with it and we will have to be satisfied with simply putting a stop to their crimes.

Maybe these names came up in Ms. Maxwell's recent testimony to the DOJ?

Nobody goes under oath in front of Congress without high priced representation. That was part of the Lawfare of Russiagate. They made regular members of the Trump admin lawyer up for multiple depositions investigating a story that they knew was false from the beginning.

Dhillon's account directly challenges media reporting suggesting the fight was triggered by an effort to gerrymander districts to give majority Republicans an advantage in the 2026 election.

I don't think they need to be hauled before Congress and forced to vote; voluntarily avoiding roll call is an abstain vote and counts towards the quorum.
And there isn't an argument that their constituents are not represented, because they voted for them to represent them in Congress and this is how they chose to do so.
Now, investigating funding outside of personal wealth, I could see conspiracy to commit fraud plus civil rights violations with both the member and the funding organization, voter fraud, plus exposure to a class action lawsuit by member's constituents.

You see, a purposeful quorum break decision as proposed must include both houses of Congress, at the state and federal, because Senators will do this trick as well, and if you think that Federal Congress democrats are not watching this closely and making plans, I have some ocean front property I'd like to sell you.
And really that rule should apply to any and all elected public position, city council to supreme court.
Gotta make the case that an elected official can be good, be terrible, vote against promises, abstain, even show up drunk and pass out, that elected official is there, representing the voters will of that district. To not show up at all is to deny the voters of that district their will to have representation in government. It is a mean girl face of basically suspending that district's elections. Last I heard, denying the right to representation was Jim Crow! Poll Tax!
Second, it must be explained that a duly appointed call to vote which is purposefully avoided is not empowering but indeed a decision to abdicate representation of that district in a bad faith effort to disrupt the proper representation of the joining members and therefore void that seat until a replacement member is appointed, by whatever means, which reduces temporarily the number of seats therefore the necessary number of members for a quorum.
And soon, before they really start stomping and screaming and playing slap-ass.

It will be delightful to hear all the talking heads describing the act of booking it to break the quorum as an essential part of tge democratic process

[Breitbart] A federal appeals court upheld on Monday a Texas law that requires voters to provide proof of identification when voting with mail-in ballots.
A three-judge panel reversed a lower district court’s ruling, deciding that the Texas state law did not violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because it is crucial to confirm voter eligibility, as required under law.
“Mail-in ballots are not secure,” Judge James Ho wrote in the unanimous opinion.
The ruling included findings that “mail-in ballot fraud is a significant threat.”
“The ID number requirement is obviously designed to confirm that each mail-in ballot voter is precisely who he claims he is. And that is plainly ‘material’ to ‘determining whether such individual is qualified under State law to vote,’” Ho continued.
Fox News wrote:
The Fifth Circuit — the same court that ruled in favor of Texas — has allowed for the tightening of voter rules in the past. Recently, judges with the Fifth Circuit ruled that mail-in ballots must arrive by Election Day to be counted, Politico reported.
Texas’ Election Integrity Protection Act of 2021 was signed in September of that year, following the 2020 presidential election. At the time, several Republican states began cracking down on voter identification. Additionally, according to the Texas Tribune, the law limited local control of elections by prohibiting counties from offering expanded voting options.
“Our precedents compel us to side with Texas. We have made clear that states have a legitimate interest in combating voter fraud, and thus enjoy ‘considerable discretion in deciding what is an adequate level of effectiveness to serve [their] important interests in voter integrity,’” Ho noted.

I used mail-in while I was in the military so I understand the need. The deal where states were sending out unsolicited ballots to unverified addresses was ludicrous.
