CNN’s recent Trump trial announcement has America stunned

The Left is not backing down from its goal of destroying this great nation. But now, things have taken a major turn.

And CNN’s recent Trump trial announcement has America stunned.

In a remarkable development, CNN’s top legal expert Elie Honig has stated that the criminal charges against former President Donald Trump in Georgia may completely disintegrate following the recent postponement of the case.

Honig, a seasoned Senior Legal Analyst and former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, made these observations after a Georgia appellate court decided to halt the proceedings this week.

“It’s over. Let’s be realistic. It’s not happening before the 2024 election. It’s not happening in 2024. It’s maybe not happening at all,” Honig asserted. His comments highlight the significant legal and procedural hurdles that now loom over the prosecution’s case.

The charges against Trump stem from his alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, a state that played a critical role in President Joe Biden’s victory.

The indictment, brought forth by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, accused Trump and several of his associates of conspiracy and racketeering.

However, the appellate court’s decision to take up the case and halt the district court’s proceedings has cast serious doubt on the future of these charges.

Honig emphasized the unusual nature of the appellate court’s decision to pause the case.

“The appeals court, we can never predict what they’re going to do. But there’s some things we know for sure. Number one, they didn’t have to take this case, the appeal, and they chose to. The other thing is they didn’t have to pause the district court,” he explained.

He further elaborated that the trial court judge had initially planned to continue proceedings while the appeal was underway.

“The trial court judge specified, while you all are doing that, I am going to continue holding proceedings in this trial court,” Honig noted. However, the appellate court overruled this decision, signaling that they are taking the appeal “very seriously.”

If Trump and his co-defendants succeed in their appeal, it could mean the end of the case. “If Trump and the defendants prevail in this appeal, this case is essentially toast,” Honig predicted.

This would not only be a significant legal victory for Trump but also a major blow to the efforts of District Attorney Fani Willis, who has been criticized for her handling of the case.

Honig also pointed out that if the case is dismissed, former Trump officials who have already pled guilty might retract their pleas.

This would add another layer of complexity and embarrassment to the already beleaguered prosecution.

A critical element of the defense’s appeal is the conduct of District Attorney Willis. Honig highlighted that Willis’ comments outside of court have been deemed “legally improper” by Judge Scott McAfee.

“There is a separate issue that Trump and the other defendants are going to raise that I think is a bigger deal, which is Fani Willis’ inappropriate comments about the case outside of court,” Honig said.

Judge McAfee’s recognition of these comments as “legally improper” but his failure to act on them provides a strong argument for the defense.

“The defense is going to argue to the Court of Appeals, if the prosecutor makes, quote, ‘legally improper’ statements that impair the constitutional rights of the defendant, there needs to be a remedy for that,” Honig asserted.

This development comes at a crucial time as Trump seeks to solidify his position for the 2024 presidential election.

The former president has repeatedly described the charges against him as politically motivated, a sentiment echoed by many Americans.

The postponement of Trump’s Georgia trial and the appellate court’s decision to review the case have injected new uncertainty into the legal battles surrounding the former president.

Elie Honig’s analysis underscores the fragile nature of the prosecution’s case and the possibility that it could fall apart entirely.

Leading Democrat makes shocking media demands that violate Constitutional rights

The Radical Left does not care about the rights of Americans. But this new violation has shocked everyone.

And a leading Democrat has made shocking media demands that violate Constitutional rights.

In an incendiary rant this week, Democrat strategist James Carville took aim at the legacy media, urging them to adopt an even more biased approach in their reporting on former President Donald Trump.

Carville’s comments came in response to a recent statement by New York Times executive editor Joe Kahn, who asserted that the newspaper aims to maintain fairness and avoid becoming “a propaganda arm for a single candidate.”

“People say Trump is going to be the Republican nominee and we got to cover it, and Biden’s the Democratic nominee and we cover this. And if there’s something bad about Biden, of course, we’ve got to print it,” Carville said on Thursday.

“But if something comes up that is, can’t say good about Trump, but more favorable to him, like the Elie Honigs and the Fareed Zakarias of the world, that’s one way to look at it. We just tell the truth and let the people decide. Or, at times when the country is in great peril or the moral imperative is so significant, you don’t do that.”

Carville’s remarks reveal a deep-seated belief among some on the left that traditional journalistic standards should be abandoned in favor of more openly partisan coverage.

This sentiment starkly contrasts with the principles of objective journalism, which aim to provide balanced and unbiased reporting so the public can make informed decisions.

Carville lambasted Kahn for suggesting that The New York Times should strive for impartiality. “Now you have Joe Kahn, the new editor or publisher, whatever he is at The New York Times, saying, ‘We’re just going to cover this down the middle. We’re going to cover what it is,’” Carville continued.

“I don’t think that’s the role of the news media at a time when the entire Constitution is in peril. I don’t have anything against slanted coverage. I really don’t … I would have something against it at most other times in American history, but not right now. F*** your objectivity. The real objectivity in this country right now is we’re either going to have a Constitution or we’re not.”

The Democrat strategist’s outburst underscores the extreme polarization in American politics, where the mainstream media is increasingly seen not as impartial observers but as active participants in the political arena.

Carville’s call for more biased coverage reflects a growing desperation among Democrats who view the Trump movement as an existential threat.

Carville also criticized the media’s coverage of the criminal charges against President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and the alleged bias of the judge in Trump’s Manhattan criminal trial.

“I can’t tell you that these are bad people. They’re extremely naive people who have no idea what’s at stake in this election,” he said.

“So I think we need slanted coverage, more slanted coverage, and I think we got to recognize the threat that this guy and the MAGA, not just him, the entire MAGA movement, from Alito and Trump on down is a serious, clear and present danger to the existence of the Constitution in the United States. And I mean that.”

Carville’s remarks are emblematic of the broader strategy employed by many on the left: to delegitimize Trump and his supporters by any means necessary, including the abandonment of journalistic objectivity.

This approach has led to a media landscape where bias is not just tolerated but encouraged, as long as it serves the perceived greater good of combating Trump and the MAGA movement.

Such a strategy, however, is fraught with risks. By openly advocating for biased coverage, Carville and others undermine the credibility of the media and erode public trust in journalism.

This erosion of trust is dangerous, as it can lead to a public that is increasingly skeptical of all news sources, making it harder for citizens to distinguish between fact and propaganda.

Moreover, the call for biased reporting ignores the fact that many Americans are deeply concerned about the very issues Carville dismisses.

The criminal charges against Hunter Biden, for instance, are seen by many as a legitimate matter of public interest, not merely a distraction.

Similarly, concerns about judicial bias and the integrity of the legal system are not confined to one side of the political spectrum.

James Carville’s call for the media to abandon objectivity in favor of more openly partisan coverage reflects a dangerous trend in American politics.

Garland’s recent comments have shocked even his own allies

AG Garland has been in hot water recently. And it seems like he is doing nothing to change that.

But now, Garland’s recent comments have shocked even his own allies.

In a striking demonstration of double standards within the Department of Justice, Attorney General Merrick Garland recently refused to comply with congressional subpoenas demanding the audio recording of President Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur. Garland’s justification was that he did not believe the subpoenas were “legitimate.”

This decision starkly contrasts with the treatment of former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, who is set to begin a prison sentence for his refusal to comply with a congressional subpoena issued by the January 6 Committee.

In May, Garland made headlines when he refused to turn over the audio of Biden’s interview to the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees.

“The Justice Department is a fundamental institution of our democracy,” Garland stated. “People depend on us to ensure that our investigations and our prosecutions are conducted according to the facts and the law and without political influence.” He asserted that the committees’ request for the audio file was not legitimate and that complying with it would “harm our ability in the future to successfully pursue sensitive investigations.”

Garland defended the DOJ’s stance by citing Biden’s “protective assertion of privilege,” which he claimed justified withholding the audio from Congress.

Despite the Judiciary and Oversight Committees voting to hold Garland in contempt, the measure has yet to be approved by the House, leaving the issue unresolved.

During a congressional hearing in June, Garland reiterated his position, describing the request as “illegitimate” and criticizing Republicans who threatened to hold him in contempt.

He maintained that there was no bias in the justice system, a statement that many Americans find increasingly difficult to believe given the disparate treatment of high-profile figures like Bannon.

Bannon, a political commentator and former Trump adviser, has faced severe consequences for his noncompliance with a congressional subpoena.

The January 6 Committee had summoned Bannon to provide a deposition and produce documents related to the events leading up to the storming of the Capitol.

Bannon argued that the requested documents were protected by executive privilege, a claim stemming from former President Trump’s assertion of privilege over the materials.

Despite his defense, Bannon was charged with contempt of Congress in November 2021. Garland, at the time, highlighted the DOJ’s commitment to the rule of law:

“Since my first day in office, I have promised Justice Department employees that together we would show the American people by word and deed that the department adheres to the rule of law, follows the facts and the law, and pursues equal justice under the law.” This stance led to Bannon’s indictment, reflecting what Garland described as the department’s “steadfast commitment to these principles.”

In July 2022, Bannon was found guilty and sentenced to 120 days in prison. Although a judge suspended his sentence pending appeal, the conviction was upheld, and he has now been ordered to report to prison on July 1.

Bannon’s attorney, David Schoen, argued that Trump had invoked executive privilege, which prevented Bannon from testifying. Despite this, Bannon was sentenced, showcasing a stark contrast in the application of justice compared to Garland’s protection of Biden.

The disparity between the treatment of Bannon and the protection afforded to Biden has not gone unnoticed.

Many Americans argue that Garland’s refusal to comply with congressional subpoenas regarding Biden’s interview audio, while aggressively pursuing charges against Bannon, highlights a concerning double standard.

This discrepancy raises questions about the impartiality of the DOJ under Garland and Biden’s leadership.

Democrat candidate calls for horrific treatment of Trump supporters

The Radical Left is hiding their hatred for Americans less and less. But no one expected them to take things this far.

And a Democrat candidate has called for the horrific treatment of Trump supporters.

In a stunning revelation during a Zoom townhall meeting, Paula Collins, a New York Democrat running for Congress, suggested that supporters of former President Donald Trump should be subjected to “re-education camps” to help the country recover from what she described as the “MAGA nightmare.”

Collins, who is challenging GOP House Chairwoman and New York Representative Elise Stefanik in the 21st congressional district, made these comments while discussing the future of America post-2024 elections.

“Even if we were to have a resounding blue wave come through, as many of us would like, putting it all back together again after we’ve gone through this MAGA nightmare and re-educating basically, which, that sounds like a rather, a re-education camp. I don’t think we really want to call it that,” Collins stated during the virtual townhall. She added, “I’m sure we can find another way to phrase it,” as reported by Fox Digital.

Following the backlash from her comments, Collins attempted to clarify her statement to Fox Digital.

“We currently have lawmakers, including Rep. Elise Stefanik, who mis-quote or mis-understand the law… Even if MAGA were to be resoundingly defeated, we would need to engage in widespread civics education, which both red and blue voters acknowledge has been slipping in recent years,” she said.

Collins claimed that her goal was to enhance the public’s understanding of civic processes, not to enforce literal re-education camps.

“The goal would be such that regular citizens could understand the process by which the state courts process matters, compared to the federal court circuit, and so forth,” she explained.

The comments sparked outrage among Republicans, with Elise Stefanik leading the charge.

Stefanik, who has been a vocal supporter of Trump and a critic of the recent legal actions against him, condemned Collins’ remarks.

Stefanik described the verdict against Trump in the falsified business records case as “corrupt” and “illegally brought.”

In a statement responding to Collins’ comments, Stefanik said, “Joe Biden and Democrats up and down the ballot are attacking democracy by weaponizing lawfare against President Trump and now threatening ‘re-education camps’ for Trump voters. Joe Biden, Hakeem Jeffries, and Chuck Schumer must immediately condemn this statement.”

Alex DeGrasse, a senior advisor to Stefanik, also weighed in on the controversy.

“This radical New York City Democrat Socialist who literally is renting a bed and breakfast room in NY-21 was caught on tape saying she wants to force Trump voters through ‘re-education camps.’ Everyone knows she will be defeated by Elise Stefanik by a historic margin. This is yet another reason why President Trump, Elise Stefanik, and voters in Upstate and across America will clean the Democrats’ clocks at the ballot box this November,” DeGrasse stated.

Collins’ remarks about “re-education camps” are likely to be a focal point in the campaign, providing fodder for Stefanik and her supporters to rally against extreme and out-of-touch liberal policies.

The idea of “re-education” is particularly incendiary, evoking historical parallels to authoritarian regimes, which is anathema to the values held by many American voters.

As the campaign progresses, it will be crucial for Collins to navigate the fallout from her remarks and attempt to connect with voters in a district that has consistently favored Republican candidates.

Democrats’ newest election moves sees them elect a dead man

Democrats are constantly doing whatever they can to get the edge in elections. But this newest development is shocking.

And the Democrats’ newest election moves sees them elect a dead man.

In an unusual turn of events, a deceased Democrat has won his primary bid to retain his congressional seat in New Jersey after running uncontested.

Ronald Payne Jr., the long-serving congressman for New Jersey’s 10th district, passed away in April at the age of 65 from a heart attack.

Despite his death, Payne’s name remained on the ballot due to the filing deadline for the primary being in March, well before his untimely demise.

Payne, a respected member of the Congressional Black Caucus, held his seat since 2012, following in the footsteps of his father who served the district for 20 years until his own death while in office.

This tragic yet bizarre situation highlights a significant gap in the electoral process, where procedural timelines can result in posthumous victories.

A special election has been scheduled for July 16 to fill Payne’s seat. The Democratic field is already crowded with about a dozen candidates vying for the position.

New Jersey’s 10th district, encompassing Newark, Hudson, Union, and Essex counties, has been a Democratic stronghold since 1947. In contrast, the GOP candidate Carmen Bucco emerged victorious in the primary, ready to contest the special election.

Across the state of New Jersey, former President Donald Trump ran uncontested in the GOP presidential primary, solidifying his position as the Republican frontrunner.

On the Democratic side, incumbent President Joe Biden secured his party’s nomination, although a notable 41,461 ballots were cast for “uncommitted.”

This significant number reflects a growing dissent among Democrats, particularly those opposed to Biden’s support for Israel in its conflict with the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas.

These “uncommitted” votes highlight an internal struggle within the Democratic Party, driven by a faction that vehemently opposes Israel’s defensive actions against Hamas and other militant groups.

This development could signal potential challenges for Biden as he seeks re-election, especially from voters who feel disenfranchised by his foreign policy decisions.

In addition to the congressional race, the New Jersey primary saw Andy Kim winning the Democratic primary for the U.S. Senate seat.

Kim, who has served as the representative for New Jersey’s 3rd congressional district since 2019, is known for his moderate stance and focus on bipartisan solutions. His win sets the stage for a competitive Senate race.

Curtis Bashaw secured the Republican nomination for the Senate seat. Bashaw, a businessman with a background in real estate and hospitality, has positioned himself as a strong conservative voice, emphasizing economic growth, national security, and traditional values.

The upcoming Senate race will likely be a key battleground, reflecting broader national issues and voter sentiments.

The bizarre primary victory of a deceased congressman underscores the need for electoral reforms to address such anomalies.

It raises questions about the efficiency and responsiveness of the electoral process in adapting to unforeseen circumstances.

Meanwhile, the significant “uncommitted” vote in the Democratic presidential primary serves as a stark reminder of the internal divisions within the party.

Noncitizen voting fear becomes reality because of this shocking Leftist move

Many Americans have grown increasingly concerned about the possibility of noncitizens voting. And Radical Leftists have been trying to cover up the truth.

But now, the fear has become a reality because of this shocking Leftist move.

Washington, DC, saw a significant shift in its voting demographic on Tuesday as over 500 noncitizens registered to vote in the district’s local elections.

This change came after the implementation of the Local Resident Voting Rights Act, allowing noncitizens to participate in local elections for the first time.

The Act, which took effect this week, permits noncitizens to vote in local elections provided they have been residents of the jurisdiction for at least 30 days, meet age and competency requirements, and have not registered to vote elsewhere in the United States.

It is important to note that the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigration Responsibility Act of 1996 continues to prohibit noncitizens from voting in state and federal elections.

The DC Board of Elections facilitated the registration process for noncitizens by allowing them to prove their residency through various documents.

As reported by the Washington Post, as of Tuesday, over 500 noncitizens had taken advantage of this new law and registered to vote in the nation’s capital.

The breakdown of party affiliation among these new voters is telling: 310 registered as Democrats, 169 as independents, and a mere 28 as Republicans. An additional 16 registered with the Green Party.

The local elections saw a total of six City Council seats up for grabs, including Ward 2, Ward 4, Ward 7, Ward 8, and two At-large seats.

These were the only races in which noncitizens were permitted to vote. Meanwhile, U.S. citizens also had the opportunity to vote in a number of primary elections, including those for the U.S. House non-voting delegate, U.S. Senate shadow senator, and U.S. House shadow representative.

DC’s decision to extend voting rights to noncitizens in municipal elections has not been without controversy.

In May, the House of Representatives voted to block the law, but it still needs to pass the Senate before it can be nullified.

This has not stopped a number of politicians at both the state and federal levels from voicing their concerns.

One of the most vocal critics has been Texas Representative Chip Roy, who expressed his disapproval in an interview with the Daily Mail.

“The radical progressive Democrats in the DC city government couldn’t be prouder of the fact that they’re going to have illegal aliens voting in their elections,” Roy said.

“Yet, they want us to believe that it’s going to stop there, and that none of them are going to try — or be encouraged — to illegally vote in federal elections? Give me a break.”

The sentiment shared by Roy is echoed by many Americans who see this move as a slippery slope that could undermine the integrity of U.S. elections.

They argue that allowing noncitizens to vote in any capacity could lead to potential abuses and illegal voting in federal elections.

The fear is that once noncitizens are given a foothold in local elections, it might only be a matter of time before the same logic is applied to state and federal elections.

The fact remains that the majority of noncitizens registered to vote in DC have aligned themselves with the Democratic Party.

This aligns with the broader trend seen in urban areas where progressive policies are more widely accepted.

The disparity in party affiliation among noncitizen voters has further fueled concerns among many that this move is politically motivated to bolster Democratic support in local elections.

The local elections in DC will serve as a litmus test for how this new voting demographic will influence future elections.

Biden’s shocking election interference admission has stunned the world

Election interference has been a major concern for many Americans. And the Radical Left’s recent moves have made people more worried.

And now, Biden’s shocking election interference admission has stunned the world.

In a revealing interview with Time Magazine, incumbent President Joe Biden made a striking admission about China’s alleged meddling in U.S. elections.

When pressed on the issue, Biden acknowledged, “There, there, there, there is evidence that meddling is going on.”

This statement comes amid ongoing debates about foreign interference in American democracy and the implications for the upcoming 2024 election, which pits Biden against former President Donald Trump in a highly anticipated rematch.

During the interview, the Time reporter inquired specifically about China’s involvement in the electoral process, asking if there was evidence of meddling through artificial intelligence or other means.

Biden’s response was cautious but clear, “I’m not going to get into, I don’t think I should from an intelligence standpoint, there…”

When the interviewer pressed further, Biden elaborated, “I think China would have an interest—let me put it like this—would have an interest in meddling. Everybody, all the bad guys are rooting for Trump, man. Not a joke. Think about it.”

Biden’s comments echo concerns raised during the 2020 election cycle, where Trump, along with then-Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe and Attorney General Bill Barr, asserted that China had worked to further Biden’s chances.

These claims were later countered by the intelligence community, which stated that China had no preference in the election’s outcome.

In a related context, French President Emmanuel Macron’s 2019 statement about NATO experiencing “brain death” under Trump’s administration was also mentioned by Biden.

Macron had criticized the lack of U.S. leadership and Trump’s insistence that NATO members pay their fair share for defense, a move that, while unpopular among European leaders, led to increased contributions from several NATO countries.

The issue of foreign interference in U.S. elections is not new. In 2016, then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton accused Trump of colluding with Russia to interfere in the election.

These allegations were widely reported by media outlets and led to significant political fallout.

Clinton’s campaign was later fined for misreporting payments to an opposition research firm as legal fees, which were used to make false claims against Trump.

In April, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence issued a threat warning highlighting Beijing’s covert influence efforts.

The warning stated, “Beijing is expanding its global covert influence posture to better support the CCP’s goals. The PRC aims to sow doubts about US leadership, undermine democracy, and extend Beijing’s influence.”

Trump had previously claimed that China helped Biden win the 2020 election. In August 2021, DNI John Ratcliffe supported this view, stating, “China is using a massive and sophisticated influence campaign that dwarfs anything that any other country is doing.”

Attorney General Bill Barr also confirmed having seen the intelligence. However, a subsequent report from the National Intelligence Council contradicted these claims, stating, “We assess that China did not deploy interference efforts and considered but did not deploy influence efforts intended to change the outcome of the US Presidential election. We have high confidence in this judgment.”

The report further noted, “China … did not view either election outcome as being advantageous enough for China to risk getting caught meddling.”

Despite these findings, concerns about China’s intentions remain, with allegations that Beijing seeks to undermine American democracy by inflaming political divisions.

The Council on Foreign Relations suggested that Beijing’s goal might be to weaken American democracy and its global coherence by exacerbating political divisions.

As the 2024 election approaches, the issue of foreign interference remains a critical concern.

New bombshell out of major swing state has the potential to change everything

The Radical Left is losing ground in almost every state after Trump’s recent conviction. But this new report underscores just how significant things are.

And a new bombshell report out of a major swing states has the potential to change everything.

In a significant development for the 2024 presidential race, a new poll by Mitchell Research & Communications indicates that former President Donald Trump holds a lead over incumbent President Joe Biden among Michigan voters.

According to the poll, Trump commands 48.2 percent of the vote in a head-to-head matchup, slightly ahead of Biden’s 47.6 percent. Notably, 4.2 percent of voters remain undecided.

When third-party candidates are factored in, Trump’s lead extends marginally. The poll reveals Trump with 46.3 percent of the vote, while Biden trails with 45.1 percent.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., running as a third-party candidate, garners 3.3 percent support. The poll, conducted on June 3, surveyed 697 likely voters and carries a margin of error of 6.9 percent.

This data reflects a tightening race since the last poll conducted on May 20-21, 2024, which showed Trump with a wider lead of 2 percent.

The recent poll, taken after Trump’s conviction, suggests that Biden has slightly improved his standing among Democrats, securing 95 percent of their support compared to Trump’s 93 percent among Republicans.

Trump’s support among Democrats has decreased from 9 percent to 4 percent, while Biden’s backing among Republicans has risen from 4 percent to 5 percent. Among Independent voters, Trump now leads with 47 percent to Biden’s 40 percent.

Steve Mitchell, president of Mitchell Research & Communications, highlighted the implications of these findings, noting how Trump’s recent conviction might have influenced voter sentiment.

“Trump’s lead has narrowed from two percent to point six percent since our last survey conducted May 20-21, 2024, before Trump’s conviction. In the May 2024 survey, Trump had solidified his base better than Biden but post-conviction, Biden is doing slightly better with Democrats (95 percent) than Trump has with Republicans (93 percent),” Mitchell observed.

Michigan’s pivotal role in the upcoming election cannot be overstated. As a key swing state, it has the potential to significantly impact the outcome of the 2024 presidential race.

According to Real Clear Politics polling averages, Trump currently leads outside the margin of error in other crucial swing states such as Georgia, Arizona, North Carolina, and Florida.

Trump also has a notable lead in Nevada, a state that has not voted Republican since 2004 when voters re-elected George W. Bush.

To secure an electoral victory, Trump would need to win only one of the three critical states—Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Wisconsin—assuming he also prevails in the aforementioned swing states.

Currently, Trump holds a slight edge over Biden in all three of these states, although the results are within the margin of error in most polls. Trump carried these states in 2016 but lost them in 2020.

The post-conviction polling data underscores the resilience of Trump’s support base despite legal challenges.

His ability to maintain, and in some cases, increase support among key voter groups reflects a deep-rooted dissatisfaction with the current administration.

Many Trump supporters view the legal actions against him as politically motivated, which has galvanized his base and fueled campaign donations.

Reports indicate that Trump raised more than $200 million following his conviction, suggesting strong financial backing and grassroots support.

For President Biden, the narrowing gap in Michigan and other battleground states signals the need for a robust campaign strategy to regain lost ground.

His administration’s policies, particularly on the economy, inflation, and immigration, will be under intense scrutiny as voters weigh their options.

The upcoming election promises to be fiercely contested, with both candidates vying for the support of Independents and swing state voters.

Trump’s appeal to these groups, as reflected in the Mitchell Research poll, could be a decisive factor.

Biden’s DOJ has recently been caught redhanded, and Americans are outraged

Everyone knows that Joe Biden’s DOJ has been weaponized against anyone who disagrees with him. But now the proof has shown an even darker truth.

And Biden’s DOJ has recently been caught redhanded, and Americans are outraged.

America First Legal (AFL) has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Justice (DOJ) for failing to release records pertaining to former President Donald Trump’s criminal trial under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

This legal action highlights AFL’s ongoing battle to uncover potential partisan motives behind the DOJ’s involvement in the Trump investigation.

The records in question involve Matthew Colangelo, who was recruited by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg in December 2022.

The lawsuit alleges that Colangelo was hired to help “jump-start” the investigation into Trump, a move that AFL claims was driven by Colangelo’s “history of taking on Donald J. Trump and his family business.”

The AFL’s lawsuit, filed on Monday, detailed Colangelo’s positions at both the DOJ and the New York Attorney General’s office, noting that both institutions had “competing investigations” related to Trump.

Colangelo transitioned from his senior role at the DOJ to join Bragg’s team shortly before Trump was indicted.

“It is not every day that the number three ranking DOJ official — the Acting Associate Attorney General — leaves his post to join a district attorney’s office. Yet, that is exactly what Mr. Colangelo did,” AFL claimed in a statement. “This calculated move reeks of partisanship.”

According to Fox News, AFL Executive Director Gene Hamilton explained that AFL initially filed a FOIA request in 2023 to obtain Colangelo’s calendars and records discussing Trump, aiming to uncover the reasons behind his switch from the DOJ to the Manhattan DA’s office.

The DOJ responded to the FOIA request, acknowledging it but requesting an additional 10 days to process it due to “unusual circumstances.”

AFL then agreed to “exclude publicly available news article compilations, provided they were not commented on by department personnel.” However, according to the lawsuit, the DOJ failed to release any documents.

“We’re going to get those records, and we are going to obtain everything from his calendar entries to communications, for everything in between, to show and to help shed a light on this coordinated effort to get Donald Trump, that is unprecedented and has never been done before,” Hamilton said to Fox News.

“Because none of these records are public, and because this is a key central figure involved in the political persecution of Donald Trump, we think it’s vital and critical that we get records.”

In a parallel effort, House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan sent a letter last month to New York Attorney General Letitia James, demanding documents related to Colangelo.

“Mr. Colangelo’s recent employment history demonstrates his obsession with investigating a person rather than prosecuting a crime,” Jordan said in his letter.

Jordan’s inquiry underscores the broader concerns among many Americans about potential political motivations behind the investigations targeting Trump.

The legal and political implications of Colangelo’s transition from a high-ranking DOJ official to a key player in the Manhattan DA’s office are significant.

It raises questions about the impartiality of the justice system and the potential use of legal institutions for partisan purposes.

The AFL lawsuit argues that the public has a right to know the details surrounding Colangelo’s move and his involvement in the Trump investigation.

It seeks to shed light on whether there was a coordinated effort to target Trump for political reasons, an allegation that, if proven, would have serious ramifications for the integrity of the justice system.

This case is emblematic of the broader struggle over transparency and accountability in government. The use of FOIA requests and subsequent lawsuits to compel the release of information is a critical tool for ensuring that government actions are subject to public scrutiny.

New evidence shows just how far Democrats are willing to stop Trump

The Radical Left hates Trump, and they will stop at nothing to oppose him. And now they have crossed serious lines.

And new evidence shows just how far Democrats are willing to go to stop Trump.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) unleashed a scathing critique of the Democratic Party during a recent interview, accusing them of being willing to dismantle the U.S. justice system to secure electoral victories and maintain their grip on power.

Cruz’s remarks came during his “Verdict” podcast with co-host Ben Ferguson, where he discussed the guilty verdict handed down by a Manhattan jury in District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s criminal trial against former President Donald Trump.

Cruz did not mince words as he drew stark comparisons between the United States and banana republics, highlighting the fundamental difference being the rule of law.

“If you contrast America to banana republics, the difference is you have the rule of law,” Cruz stated emphatically.

“The difference is you don’t do this. And these Democrats, they hate Trump so much they don’t care. They’re willing to destroy it all.”

Cruz reserved particularly harsh criticism for Alvin Bragg, whom he accused of having a political agenda. “Alvin Bragg, mind you, he is suddenly tough on crime,” Cruz said with evident sarcasm.

“Yeah, this is a guy who, if you murder people, if you rape people, you walk down the street and you punch a little old lady in the face, Alvin Bragg will let you go.” Cruz’s implication was clear: Bragg’s prosecutorial focus on Trump was politically motivated rather than a genuine effort to uphold justice.

The Texas senator asserted that Bragg’s true objective in prosecuting Trump was to bolster Joe Biden’s chances of re-election. “He’s trying to re-elect Joe Biden,” Cruz declared. “He’s trying to stay in power.”

Cruz’s assessment is that the legal maneuvers against Trump are part of a broader strategy to undermine the former president and tarnish his reputation in the eyes of voters.

Cruz also took aim at Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over Trump’s trial, criticizing the jury instructions given during the proceedings.

“The U.S. Supreme Court has long made clear in order to convict someone of a crime, you must prove beyond a reasonable doubt every element of the crime and the jury must find unanimously that you are guilty, you have committed every element of the crime,” Cruz explained.

He contended that Judge Merchan’s instructions allowed the jury too much leeway, likening it to a “choose your own adventure” scenario that undermined the integrity of the judicial process.

The senator expressed confidence that the conviction would be overturned on appeal, suggesting that Democrats were aware of this likelihood but were more interested in the short-term political damage a conviction could inflict on Trump.

“The purpose is what Alex Soros said, the purpose is what Joe Biden said. The purpose is all the Democrats, and all the media get to call him a felon over and over and over again, between now and Election Day,” Cruz argued. “This is a five-month battle. It’s not a five-year battle, the purpose is not to put Donald Trump in jail. They know that’s not going to happen; they are trying to win.”

Cruz’s analysis posits that the Democratic Party is leveraging the justice system as a political tool, prioritizing electoral gains over the integrity of legal processes.

“This is about keeping Joe Biden, the Democrats in power because it’s all they care about. And they’re willing to burn the justice system to the ground to keep the Democrats in power,” he concluded.

Many Americans view the legal actions against Trump as a weaponization of the justice system to target a political opponent, while Democrats argue that no one is above the law and that Trump’s actions warrant prosecution.

As Trump’s legal team prepares for the appeals process, the political ramifications of the trial continue to reverberate.

Regardless of the outcome of the appeal, the trial has set a precedent that will be scrutinized for years to come, highlighting the delicate balance between justice and politics in a deeply divided nation. Cruz’s commentary underscores the high stakes involved and the profound implications for the future of American democracy.

AG Garland’s shocking refusal has set the stage for a major move by Conservative lawmakers

The House Judiciary Committee is not rolling over and letting the Radical Left push them around. And they are doing everything they can to ensure real justice is brought to the Biden family.

And AG Garland’s shocking refusal has set the stage for a major move by Conservative lawmakers.

During a contentious House Judiciary hearing on Tuesday, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland faced tough questions from Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) about details in Special Counsel Robert Hur’s report regarding President Joe Biden’s cognitive state.

The line of questioning centered on Hur’s decision not to prosecute Biden, with a key factor being Biden’s portrayal as a “well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.”

Biggs began his questioning with a direct quote from Hur’s report, emphasizing the sympathetic view Hur had taken of Biden.

“[Hur] basically says here he found Mr. Biden to be sympathetic and … ‘a well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.’ So he made a prosecutorial decision that he wasn’t going to prosecute. Are you going to dispute that? You’re not disputing that, are you?”

Garland, seemingly prepared for a grilling, responded cautiously, not providing a direct answer.

This prompted Biggs to accuse him of being “non-responsive,” as he sought to clarify the rationale behind the decision not to prosecute Biden.

“Mr. Biden has not been prosecuted, correct?” Biggs pressed. Garland affirmed this fact but offered little else in terms of detailed explanation.

The exchange grew tenser as Biggs continued to probe. He highlighted that the rationale for not prosecuting Biden included his depiction as a sympathetic elderly man with memory issues.

Garland conceded that this characterization was part of a broader list of reasons for the decision but hesitated to delve into specifics.

“Give me one more reason,” Biggs demanded, seeking further clarity on why Biden was not prosecuted.

Garland responded that Biden’s cooperation with the investigation was another factor, though he avoided elaborating further on the contents of Hur’s report or the decision-making process behind it.

The Special Counsel’s interview with Biden, and the subsequent transcript, became a focal point of the hearing.

The transcript, released after Hur’s decision not to prosecute, detailed Biden’s interactions during the investigation.

Hur noted, “We have also considered that, at trial, Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

Hur’s report elaborated on the challenges of securing a conviction, stating, “Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone for whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him — by then a former president well into his eighties — of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness.”

This part of the report has fueled claims that Biden received preferential treatment due to his status and perceived cognitive decline.

During the hearing, Biggs emphasized this point, arguing that the decision not to prosecute Biden based on his memory and age sets a concerning precedent.

Adding to the controversy, Biden has claimed executive privilege over the audio tapes from his interview with Hur.

Reports indicate that the transcript was edited to remove repeated words and filler content from Biden’s testimony, raising further questions about transparency and fairness in the investigation.

Massive new development in Biden case could see Hunter behind bars

With the Left doing everything they can to cover up for the Biden family, Americans are worried about the corrupt family walking free. But prosecutors highlight just how bad things are.

And a massive new development in the Biden case could see Hunter behind bars.

In a significant turn of events, the federal firearms trial of Hunter Biden commenced on Tuesday in Delaware.

Prosecutors did not waste any time presenting evidence, with one of the most controversial pieces being the infamous laptop belonging to President Joe Biden’s son.

The laptop, which has been the center of numerous controversies and extensive media coverage, became a focal point as prosecutors used its contents to build their case.

During the opening statements, prosecutors introduced text messages and images from the laptop’s hard drive, aiming to establish that Hunter Biden was actively involved in drug use around the time he allegedly lied on his FBI background check form.

This form was filled out in connection with the purchase of a firearm.

The evidence presented included text messages between Hunter Biden and a contact, discussing the purchase of “10 grams” of a substance in the summer of 2018.

Prosecutors also showed images purportedly depicting cocaine, which were recovered from the laptop.

These pieces of evidence were intended to support the allegation that Biden was indeed using drugs at the time he purchased the firearm, contradicting his declaration on the ATF form.

Further bolstering their case, prosecutors presented invoices from a rehabilitation facility in Los Angeles, dated just one month before the gun purchase.

This evidence was used to paint a picture of Biden’s ongoing struggles with substance abuse, directly challenging his claims of being drug-free at the time of the firearm acquisition.

Hunter Biden faces several serious charges in this case. In 2023, he was accused of lying on an FBI background check form when he purchased a Colt Cobra 38SPL revolver on October 12, 2018.

Specifically, he claimed that he was not a drug user, despite later admissions in his memoir, “Beautiful Things,” that he was indeed struggling with addiction at the time.

The charges against him include making false statements while purchasing a firearm, making false statements regarding information kept by federal firearms licensed dealers, and unlawful possession of a firearm. If convicted on all counts, Biden could face up to 25 years in prison.

This trial is not just a legal battle; it carries substantial political implications. As the son of the sitting president, Hunter Biden’s legal troubles are inevitably tied to the political fortunes of his father, President Joe Biden.

The introduction of the laptop into evidence revives numerous allegations that have been leveraged against the Biden family by political opponents.

Critics of the Biden administration have seized upon this trial as evidence of corruption and misconduct within the First Family.

The case has already fueled partisan debates, with Republicans arguing that Hunter Biden’s actions reflect poorly on his father’s judgment and leadership.

As the trial continues, all eyes will be on Delaware, with both the prosecution and defense preparing to call witnesses and present further evidence.

The outcome of this case could have far-reaching consequences, not only for Hunter Biden but also for the broader political landscape as the country approaches the next election cycle.

The courtroom battle over Hunter Biden’s alleged false statements on his firearm purchase forms is set to be a major legal and political story in the coming weeks.

Whether the evidence from the laptop will be the decisive factor in this case remains to be seen, but its introduction has certainly set the stage for a contentious and closely watched trial.
