Government Corruption
New memos further expose DOJ and FBI wash, rinse, repeat mindset in probing Trump, allies
[Just The News] New emails released by Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley provide further evidence that federal law enforcement and the Justice Department often had a wash, rinse and repeat mindset when it came to investigating President Donald Trump and his political allies.

One of those emails, which Grassley released during a committee hearing with FBI Director Kash Patel, shows that one agent sought to open a criminal investigation into tech titan Elon Musk while he led efficiency efforts in the Trump administration last year as a special government employee.

According to the agent’s theory, Musk’s effort to get government employees to share their weekly accomplishments in an email "encouraged, abetted, aided, etc. thousands if not tens of thousands of government employees to violate government wide security policy and transmit sensitive government information."

"And no, I’m not kidding," the now-former FBI agent Kevin Gounaud wrote in the February 2025 email.

Grassley said the new emails he released Tuesday are part of a decade-long pattern of law enforcement and intelligence officials pursuing Trump and his closest allies.

"For almost a decade now, I’ve made records public showing how a number of now discredited law enforcement and intelligence officials schemed to take out Trump and other Republicans," the Iowa Republican said in his opening statement. "And here we are, in 2026, still finding records from years ago showing even more evidence of targeting."

It it is clear there is growing mountain of factual evidence to the claims that certain DOJ, Federal LEO's, LSD's, NGO's, Media Groups all used their positions to engage in, or support Subversion & Treasonous activities.

It is clear it was done to assist or support those in the Biden Coup, in creating a false criminal narratives against Trump, DOGE and MAGA.

These people and groups need to be put on a Public Black List and banned from any future Fed Gov interactions and/or Taxpayer funded positions.

#2  Hanging a few (dozen) of them would also discourage such behaviors from others, both now and in the future. Failure to do so will only enbolden them.

Just Like It Looks - Lawfare Timeline Played Perfectly Ensures Mail-In Ballot Fraud Will Continue
Perhaps. The Trump administration has plenty of other cases in the pipeline for all their issues. In the meantime, my household here in Cincinnati has already received two mailings of forms to request mail-in ballots — but only those who officially live here. Trailing daughter #2, who moved out and cancelled her Ohio voter registration a decade ago, did not get one. Interestingly, a hand written postcard came to her at the house today from the Reform Jewish Religious Action Center, reminding her to make sure she is registered and votes in November — their mailing llist must date back to her time in Hebrew school, which she finished in 2008 or so; we finally stopped paying the membership fee about five years later, as I hadn’t had the energy to go to services for years at that point.
[ConservativeTreehouse] Everyone knew exactly what the Lawfare approach entailed. Lower court judges delayed rulings, then rejected the arguments citing insufficient time for the states to comply with U.S Postal Service rule changes for mail-in ballots. By the time the Supreme Court could weigh in, the clock had generally expired. The 2026 midterm election mail-in ballot fraud will proceed as before without impediment.

The Trump administration argued the measures were to prevent fraud, but lawfare and state officials claimed that introducing a new ballot-matching system mid-election would create chaos. The Supreme Court ruling [SEE HERE] comes as many states are beginning to send out ballots for the upcoming midterm elections, making last-minute changes particularly risky.

WASHINGTON DC – The Supreme Court has rejected the Trump administration’s attempt to force states to take part in a new system to control the delivery of mail-in ballots in the looming midterm elections.

In a ruling Monday, the justices left in place a lower-court ruling that blocked the Postal Service from implementing the new requirements in the coming weeks due to the potential that millions of voters could be disenfranchised by not having their ballots delivered.

The Trump administration said the new measures were needed to combat fraud, but many election officials say the federal government was inviting chaos by trying to deploy a new ballot-matching system just as officials in many states began sending out ballots to voters in advance of the midterms.

#2  I got request forms for two kids that no longer live at this address and don’t vote. The mailers are a bad idea.
