Federal judge appointed Special Master meet DOJ's continued coverup of millions of Epstein Files. Michael Popok explains how Trump's attempt to use Federal Courts to run interference for his refusal to release all the Epstein Files, has backfired, as Rep. Massey and Khanna demand that a federal judge stop trusting the DOJ, and appoint an independent officer of the court to take over the collection, review and production of ALL the Epstein Files.

Today's Headlines: In Portland, Customs and Border Patrol agents shot two people during a vehicle stop — both were hospitalized, the FBI is now on scene, and DHS says it was “targeted.”  In Minneapolis, the Trump administration continues to fully defend the ICE officer who killed Renee Good. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced the FBI is taking over the investigation, cutting Minnesota out of access to its own evidence, while insisting the officer followed his training. Governor Tim Walz pushed back hard, accusing ICE of raiding a nearby school and using chemical agents on school grounds, forcing closures and prompting him to warn protesters to stay peaceful as the administration appears eager to escalate. Vice President JD Vance then took the podium to claim the ICE officer has absolute immunity, shame the media for portraying Good as innocent, and argue the officer's past injury explains his behavior. Public pressure is starting to land: Avelo Airlines is cutting ties with ICE and shutting down its Arizona base, while Hilton dropped a Minneapolis-area franchise after it refused to host ICE agents. The Epstein saga keeps unraveling, with House Oversight approving subpoenas for Les Wexner and Epstein's estate executors, and lawmakers pushing for a special master to force DOJ compliance on the files. On Venezuela, Trump has sidelined intelligence chief Tulsi Gabbard, Senate Republicans advanced a War Powers resolution to curb further military action, and Trump responded by calling for those senators to be voted out. Elsewhere in chaos, Trump floated buying $200 billion in mortgage bonds, Warner Bros. rejected Paramount again in favor of Netflix, the White House may add an entire story to the West Wing for “symmetry,” and the UK is openly considering banning X over Grok-generated deepfake porn.

Vice President JD Vance announced the creation of a new Department of Justice division to combat fraud nationwide. The Trump Administration established this DOJ division following a rise in fraud in states like Minnesota. The Sekulow team discusses the White House sending federal prosecutors to Minnesota as part of its national fraud enforcement efforts, Attorney General Pam Bondi's statement, the scandals under Gov. Tim Walz's watch, the ACLJ's legal work – and much more.

Today we're breaking down everything you need to know about what comes next in the Nick Reiner case.Alan Jackson quit as Nick's attorney this morning — but not before delivering a statement that sounded more like a closing argument than a goodbye: "Nick Reiner is NOT guilty of murder under California law. Print that." Three weeks of investigation. Ten sealed subpoenas. And now he's gone.Here's what that statement actually means. California's insanity defense works in two phases. First, the jury decides guilt based on the evidence. Then — if guilty — a second trial determines whether the defendant was legally insane at the time of the crime. That's where Jackson's words apply. Under the M'Naghten Rule, the defense must prove Nick couldn't understand what he was doing or couldn't tell right from wrong at the exact moment of the killings. Less than one percent of defendants plead insanity. Only about a quarter succeed.Nick is now represented by Deputy Public Defender Kimberly Greene, who met him for approximately thirty seconds before the hearing. But the LA County Public Defender's Office has one of the best capital case records in the country — between 2006 and 2015, only one of their clients was sentenced to death out of thirty appeals.Here's what most people miss: even if the insanity defense works, Nick doesn't walk free. He goes to a state psychiatric hospital — potentially for life. Facilities where the DOJ found civil rights violations and patient murders.The insanity defense isn't an escape hatch. It's a different kind of cage. And whether Nick goes to prison or Patton State Hospital, he's not coming back.#NickReiner #RobReiner #TrueCrimeToday #InsanityDefense #CaliforniaLaw #MurderCase #AlanJackson #PublicDefender #CriminalJustice #ReinerCaseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Alan Jackson spent three weeks investigating the Nick Reiner case. Every waking hour, he said. Ten subpoenas issued and sealed. And then he quit — but not before telling reporters that Nick Reiner is "NOT guilty of murder under California law."That's not how attorneys typically leave cases. That's a roadmap. And now someone else has to follow it.This episode breaks down what Jackson's statement actually means and why the path forward is anything but simple. We examine the three distinct legal battles ahead: competency to stand trial, the guilt phase, and the sanity trial where Jackson's words would have applied. California uses the M'Naghten Rule — a purely cognitive standard that requires the defense to prove Nick couldn't understand his actions or distinguish right from wrong at the exact moment of the crime.We also look at who's taking over. Deputy Public Defender Kimberly Greene had thirty seconds with Nick before becoming his attorney. But the LA County Public Defender's Office has a track record that defies the stereotype — between 2006 and 2015, only one of their clients was sentenced to death out of thirty capital appeals. The office is led by Ricardo Garcia, who secured a life verdict in San Diego's longest death penalty trial.Here's the uncomfortable truth: even if the insanity defense succeeds, Nick goes to a state psychiatric hospital — potentially forever. Facilities where the DOJ found civil rights violations and patient-on-patient murders. The insanity defense isn't freedom. It's a different kind of cage.His parents spent seventeen years trying to save him. Now the state of California will make a permanent decision about his life.#NickReiner #RobReiner #AlanJackson #InsanityDefense #HiddenKillers #TrueCrime #CaliforniaLaw #MurderTrial #MentalHealth #ReinerMurdersJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tens Of Thousands Of Leftists Call For The Death Of All ICE Agents In New York, Woman Who Rammed ICE In Minnesota Was Part Of “ICE Watch Antifa Super Soldiers!” Plus, Vance Announces DOJ Task Force To Target Unprecedented Fraud

Congressional Republicans defect to support two Democratic resolutions. It's not exactly a show of spine — maybe a vertebrae — but is it the beginning of something? Yet another US Attorney gets disqualified, this time in New York. Meanwhile Judges in Virginia wonder how it's remotely ethical for Lindsey Halligan to present herself in court filings as a US Attorney. The DOJ is violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act. And what legal recourse is there for the family of Renee Good, who was executed by ICE officers in Minneapolis.

Ghislaine Maxwell originally signaled she was ready to comply with the congressional subpoena demanding her testimony before the House Oversight Committee tentatively scheduled for the week of August 11. Her legal team had framed her cooperation with the Department of Justice—during a two‑day interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, in which she reportedly answered questions about nearly 100 individuals without invoking privilege—as a sign of willingness to come forward fully. That earlier posture suggested Maxwell might walk the halls of Capitol Hill to finally provide insight into Epstein's network and operations.But following that DOJ sit‑down, she is now openly "undecided" about whether she will testify before Congress. Despite praising her own “truthful” and unrestricted cooperation in front of federal prosecutors, Maxwell has refused to commit to congressional testimony, leaving open the possibility of invoking her Fifth Amendment rights absent formal immunity. Critics are quick to suggest this move is a calculated pivot—falling back into legal limbo just as the political temperature rises. Rather than embracing transparency, she's pulling back into silence until she sees whether immunity or clemency might eventually materialize—casting further doubt on the sincerity of her earlier so-called "willingness."to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Maxwell's lawyer says she's undecided on appearing for congressional testimony - POLITICO

Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), the bipartisan sponsors of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, have formally asked a federal judge to appoint a special master or independent monitor to oversee the Justice Department's release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Their request comes after the DOJ missed the law's December 19, 2025 deadline to make the documents public and has released only a small fraction of what it says is a multi-million document trove. In a letter to U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer, Khanna and Massie argue that the DOJ's slow pace, extensive redactions, and failure to submit legally required reports to Congress undermine compliance with the statute and could further traumatize survivors. They want a neutral third party empowered to assess whether the department is fully complying with the law and identify any improper redactions or other questionable conduct.The lawmakers have emphasized their lack of confidence in the DOJ's ability to self-police this process and contend that without court-appointed oversight, full disclosure is unlikely. In their filing, they highlight inconsistencies in the DOJ's reported figures on released versus remaining documents, and they stress that the department “cannot be trusted with making mandatory disclosures under the Act.” Massie has also threatened contempt proceedings against Attorney General Pam Bondi for ongoing noncompliance. By urging judicial intervention through a special master, Khanna and Massie aim to ensure the transparency envisioned by their law and compel the release of the full set of Epstein-related records despite departmental resistance.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:US congressmen ask judge to appoint official to force release of all Epstein files | Jeffrey Epstein | The Guardian

Calls for the Department of Justice's Inspector General to step in and investigate the handling of the Epstein files release have intensified as delays, contradictions, and shifting explanations continue to pile up. What began as cautious skepticism has hardened into open frustration from lawmakers, transparency advocates, and legal experts who argue that the DOJ's conduct no longer passes the smell test. Despite Congress passing legislation mandating disclosure, the DOJ has repeatedly claimed it needs years to review and redact millions of documents—an assertion that critics say directly conflicts with the government's long-standing position that Epstein was thoroughly investigated years ago. If the material was already reviewed, categorized, and litigated over in past prosecutions and civil cases, the argument goes, then the idea that it suddenly requires a near-decade scrub looks less like due diligence and more like institutional stalling.As a result, pressure has mounted for the Inspector General to examine whether the DOJ is acting in good faith or deliberately slow-walking compliance to shield itself from embarrassment, exposure, or liability. Lawmakers have raised concerns that the department may be protecting its own past misconduct—failed prosecutions, ignored evidence, sweetheart deals, and inter-agency breakdowns—by burying the record under procedural excuses. Survivor advocates have echoed those demands, warning that endless delays amount to a second betrayal, one that favors bureaucratic self-preservation over transparency and accountability. With every missed deadline and shifting justification, calls for an independent IG probe grow louder, fueled by the belief that the only way the public will ever learn the truth about Epstein's protection is if the DOJ is investigated by someone who doesn't have a vested interest in keeping the lid on.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Delayed release of Epstein files triggers calls for internal watchdog review - CBS News

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the fallout from Trump's Venezuela operation as the president announces an oil deal following the capture of Nicolás Maduro, raising questions about coercion, profiteering, and global backlash from China and regional allies. They analyze Trump's claims about seizing billions in Venezuelan oil, the response from interim leader Delcy Rodríguez, and mounting fears of authoritarian crackdowns as armed militias flood Caracas under a sweeping emergency decree. Kander and Gupta also dive into Trump's revived push to acquire Greenland, unpacking Marco Rubio's closed-door comments, NATO alarm, and the administration's refusal to rule out military force. Plus, they discuss new scrutiny over Epstein-related DOJ delays, fresh data showing young men souring on Trump, escalating GOP infighting, and renewed attempts to rewrite the history of January 6.

In breaking, a New York Federal Judge has “fired” Trump's handpicked MAGA “US Attorney” who has been going after NYAG Tish James and her office for Trump, and declared that he is disqualified for working on any criminal investigation involving the AG's fraud investigation of Trump or about the NRA. Michael Popok explains that this is the SIXTH judge to rule against Trump and his corrupt DOJ so far about US Attorneys, as judges move closer to yanking these unqualified lawyers' bar licenses as well.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan explains why Minnesota's governor is openly escalating toward a constitutional crisis, how a deadly ICE confrontation is being weaponized politically, and why Democrats may be preparing nationwide unrest to distract from a massive fraud reckoning. He then covers major White House moves on housing, defense contractors, Venezuela, China, Russia, and Greenland, showing how Trump's strategy is reshaping global power. Tim Walz Declares a De Facto War on the Federal Government: Minnesota Governor Tim Walz announced that his state is "in a state of war" with the federal government after an ICE officer shot and killed protester Renee Good during an immigration raid in Minneapolis. Video shows Good used her vehicle as a weapon against the officer, who fired in self-defense after being struck. Walz ordered the National Guard to prepare for deployment and called on activists nationwide to rise up, prompting warnings that his rhetoric may meet the legal definition of insurrection. A Manufactured Crisis and the Somali Fraud Reckoning: Bryan explains why the timing of Walz's escalation matters. Attorney General Pam Bondi just surged federal investigators into Minnesota to probe billion-dollar Somali fraud rings tied to Medicaid, daycare centers, and migrant nonprofits, many of which donated to Democratic campaigns. Federal funds to Minnesota and other blue states have been frozen or cut, and the White House is preparing a nationwide fraud announcement. Bryan warns that the death of an activist is being exploited to distract from what could become one of the largest corruption scandals in U.S. history. White House Targets Defense Contractors and Housing Costs: President Trump issued an executive order blocking major defense contractors from paying dividends or buying back stock until weapons production accelerates. CEO compensation is capped at five million dollars annually. Trump also moved to ban large institutional investors from buying additional single-family homes, arguing corporate buyers are pricing Americans out of the housing market. Senate Republicans are already drafting legislation to codify the policy. Trump Confronts Socialist Housing Policy in New York City: The Justice Department is reviewing whether New York City's new socialist mayor and his housing director violated anti-discrimination laws. The housing director has publicly called homeownership a tool of white supremacy and advocated seizing private property, with the mayor openly endorsing her views. DOJ officials say racial targeting in housing policy is unlawful and will be challenged. Global Shockwaves from Venezuela and the Ghost Fleet: Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed a three-phase U.S. plan for Venezuela, beginning with stability under remnants of the Maduro regime, followed by economic recovery and eventual democratic transition. The United States will act as Venezuela's sole oil dealer while seizing ghost-fleet tankers moving Iranian and Russian oil. Trump authorized U.S. forces to seize ships even after they reflagged as Russian, directly squeezing Moscow's war finances and Beijing's energy supply. Greenland and Europe's Energy Reality Check: Denmark warned it would use lethal force if U.S. troops attempt to seize Greenland, even as Chinese submarines map Arctic waters near U.S. defenses. Bryan contrasts Europe's military posturing with its fragile energy reality, as winter cold, snow-covered solar panels, and weak wind output drive electricity shortages and price spikes across Germany and Northern Europe "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: January 8 2026 Wright Report, Tim Walz ICE shooting Minneapolis, Renee Good protest death, Minnesota National Guard insurrection rhetoric, Somali fraud Medicaid daycare nonprofits, Pam Bondi investigation surge, defense contractor dividend ban Trump, institutional investors single family homes, Zohran Mamdani housing discrimination DOJ, Venezuela stability first strategy Rubio, ghost fleet tanker seizures Russia Iran, Greenland Denmark threat U.S. troops, China Arctic submarine mapping, Europe winter energy crisis

Election fraud is exploding back into the spotlight as President Trump floods social media with hard-hitting clips calling the 2020 election "the greatest theft in U.S. history" and demands Republicans immediately abolish mass mail-in voting. We break down his direct message to the GOP, the viral White House post on Mike Pence's "betrayal," and the chilling "This is How They Stole It" video that's lighting up feeds. Plus, we expose the chaos in Minneapolis of an ICE-involved shooting where video clearly shows a woman ramming an agent, yet Ilhan Omar calls her a "legal observer" and Mayor Frey tells ICE to get out fueling protests and proving anti-ICE rhetoric has real consequences.Brooklyn prosecutor Michael F. Vecchione, former Chief of Homicide & Rackets who took down corrupt judges and politicians, joins us to dissect the airtight federal case against Nicolás Maduro. From narco-terrorism and life-sentence charges to the notorious conditions at MDC Brooklyn where Maduro is held pretrial, Vecchione reveals how prosecutors build unbreakable corruption cases against heads of state, the defense strategies Maduro might try, and why this historic prosecution could reshape U.S.-Venezuela relations forever.We close with the massive Minnesota welfare fraud hearings blowing up on Capitol Hill Rep. Brandon Gill grilling former DOJ prosecutor Brendan Ballou, Keith Ellison downplaying billions stolen, and even Somalia's UN ambassador tied to Medicaid scams. Elon Musk on Joe Rogan calls out Democrat voting fraud, while Friday's explosive episode tease with David Clements (The Professor) and Raul's documents promises to drop jaw-dropping evidence on overseas voter ID laundering. The reckoning is here, tune in before they try to silence it!

Journalist and political commentator Molly Jong-Fast joins Marc Elias to discuss Trump's declining political power, the myth of a governing mandate, and the growing backlash heading into the 2026 midterm elections. They examine corporate and billionaire collaboration with Trumpism, the retreat of Big Law, escalating voter suppression and election subversion, DOJ efforts to access voter files, and the legal fight to protect voting rights and democracy. The discussion also dives into the collapse of U.S. media, disinformation, Section 230, the erosion of expertise, billionaire influence on social media, AI misinformation, and why journalism has been undermined by policy choices.

War Room Left's ‘ICE Kills Innocent Woman' Narrative Crumbles, As Facts Behind Minneapolis Shooting Emerge! PLUS, JD Vance Announces New DOJ Office for Investigating and Prosecuting Fraud Nationwide

By the DOJ's own actions, what was promised as a meaningful step toward transparency has instead turned into a masterclass in bad faith. Despite a clear legal mandate requiring the release of Epstein-related records by December 19th, the Department of Justice has released roughly 1% of what it was obligated to disclose. Not 1% of what was convenient. Not 1% of what they felt like parting with. One percent of the total universe of documents they have publicly acknowledged possessing. This is not a paperwork hiccup or a minor delay—it is an institutional refusal to comply with the spirit or the letter of the law. For decades, the DOJ has insisted that Epstein was thoroughly investigated, that the evidence was reviewed, that the case was handled—yet when transparency is finally required, the files suddenly become too numerous, too complex, and too sensitive to release on time. The contradiction is glaring: either these materials were already organized and understood, or the DOJ has been misleading the public for years about the depth and seriousness of its investigation.For survivors, this isn't just bureaucratic nonsense—it's a direct insult. Many of them waited decades to be believed, to see the system acknowledge what was done to them and who enabled it. Releasing a token sliver of records while slow-walking the rest sends a clear message: institutional self-protection still outweighs accountability. To the American public, it's an unmistakable middle finger—proof that even when Congress acts, even when the law is explicit, the DOJ believes it can stall, obfuscate, and wear people down through attrition. Transparency delayed is transparency denied, and in this case, the delay isn't accidental. It reinforces the same power imbalance that allowed Epstein to operate in plain sight for so long, signaling that when powerful interests are implicated, justice remains optional and accountability remains negotiable.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Justice Department has released only 1% of Epstein files, new filing says

The letter from Kirkland & Ellis to the Department of Justice raises alarm about what Epstein's legal team characterizes as an increasingly improper overlap between federal prosecutors and civil litigation against Jeffrey Epstein. The attorneys note that since their prior submission, two additional civil lawsuits have been filed, all represented by Bradley Edwards Herman, a former law partner of First Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Sloman. They argue that it strains credibility that nearly all alleged victims—some no longer even residing in Florida—somehow retained the same small Miami law firm, particularly when those plaintiffs all appear on the government's confidential list of alleged victims. The letter emphasizes that the U.S. Attorney's Office had explicitly assured Epstein's counsel that this list would remain confidential, raising serious concerns about leaks or improper coordination.Beyond the appearance of a conflict of interest, the letter frames this pattern as evidence of inappropriate federal involvement in civil cases that should be independent of the criminal investigation. Epstein's lawyers suggest that the government's actions—or failures to prevent information sharing—are contributing to a coordinated legal assault that undermines fairness and due process. They stop short of making a direct accusation but clearly signal that the integrity of the prosecution is at risk if DOJ leadership does not intervene. The letter is essentially a warning shot to Main Justice, urging scrutiny of the Miami U.S. Attorney's Office before the situation escalates into a broader ethical or legal scandal.to contact mebobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:403-07.pdf

Tommy and Ben discuss: the fallout from the Trump administration's strikes on Venezuela and kidnapping of President Nicolás Maduro, why President Trump chose Maduro's VP Delcy Rodríguez to run the country instead of opposition leader María Corina Machado, how the DOJ's new indictment of Maduro shows that the administration has been lying about him being the head of a drug cartel, and the comparisons between the Venezuela operation and the 1989 invasion of Panama to arrest Manuel Noriega. Then they dig into the (unfortunately named) “Donroe Doctrine” and what Trump's embrace of regime change means for the world, including how seriously we should take his threats against Mexico, Colombia, Cuba, and Greenland. Finally, they explain why Iranians have been protesting in huge numbers for over a week, how serious of a threat the protests pose to the regime, and debate whether we should take seriously Trump's threat to respond militarily if the regime kills protesters. Then Ben speaks to Representative Joaquin Castro (D-TX) about President Trump's lack of transparency to Congress about the attack on Venezuela, how much it's costing American taxpayers, and how Democrats are trying to stop him from future invasions.

In a brand new filing with a. Federal judge, the Trump led DOJ just confessed that they may have lost (or buried from public view) about 3.2 million documents related to Epstein and the continued child sex trafficking coverup scandal.

In a highly critical new court filing, the **U.S. Department of Justice has acknowledged that more than 2 million documents potentially responsive to the Epstein Files Transparency Act remain in “various phases of review,” even though the law required all unclassified material to be publicly released by Dec. 19, 2025. To date, the DOJ has only posted about 12,285 documents (roughly 125,000 pages) — less than 1 % of the estimated total — and says that hundreds of Justice Department attorneys and FBI analysts are still slogging through the backlog to identify, review, and redact material for release. The department also revealed that it uncovered over 1 million new files late in the process that were not included in its initial review, further expanding an already massive effort. This disclosure came in a letter signed by top DOJ officials including Attorney General Pam Bondi and was submitted to a federal judge overseeing compliance with the law, underlining how far the agency remains from meeting its statutory obligations.Critics — from members of Congress to survivors of Epstein's trafficking network — have panned the DOJ's slow pace and partial disclosures, arguing that the vast number of yet-to-be-released documents suggests a failure of transparency and accountability at the heart of a case tied to powerful figures and alleged systemic failures. The department defends its approach by pointing to the need for meticulous redactions to protect victim privacy and the logistical challenge posed by the sheer volume of records, but the continued delay past the congressional deadline has fueled accusations of obfuscation and insufficient urgency. With millions of pages still in review and no clear timetable for full release, the DOJ's handling of the Epstein files remains a flashpoint in ongoing debates over transparency, justice for victims, and public trust in federal institutions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:DOJ tells court it has more than 2M Epstein documents to review ahead of redacted release | The Independent

In this January 7 episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold covers a wide-ranging set of developments spanning foreign policy, domestic economics, and media narratives. The show opens with discussion of law enforcement activity in Minneapolis and broader concerns around immigration enforcement and federal response. Jon then turns to Venezuela, examining President Trump's statements on interim authorities, sanctioned oil transfers, and why the situation does not fit traditional definitions of regime change. From there, the episode moves into renewed attention on Greenland, including Denmark's response, media fear narratives, and strategic considerations surrounding Arctic security and resource control. Jon also reviews Trump's announcement on banning large institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes, discussing housing affordability, corporate ownership, and the impact on the American dream. Additional segments touch on foreign funding of U.S. universities, DOJ actions on voter roll data, sanctioned oil seizures, and shifting geopolitical alignments, with live chat interaction throughout.

Just days into 2026, Mary and Andrew dive into a fresh slate of legal questions brought on by the United States' surprise extraction of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife to New York to face criminal charges. Unpacking why the operation is widely viewed as illegal in both Venezuela and here at home, they focus on the Trump administration's pattern of self-excusing questionable tactics under the banner of fighting crime and drug smuggling. Next, as the fifth anniversary of the January 6th insurrection approaches, Mary previews her upcoming testimony in front of House Democrats on the impact the broad swath of pardons for J6 convictions has had, before the co-hosts review Jack Smith's now public deposition before the House Judiciary Committee. Last, Mary and Andrew turn to the newly unsealed order in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, in which the judge believes DOJ officials may have pushed to prosecute him only after he was wrongly deported to El Salvador.Further reading:Former Special Counsel Jack Smith's testimony transcript is HERE,  the video is HEREHERE is Judge Gary R.

In part one of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, Democrats in Minnesota are urging longtime Sen. Amy Klobuchar to jump into the blue-leaning state's race for governor in the wake of Monday's blockbuster move by Democratic Gov.

Klobuchar is receiving calls urging her to run for governor and the possibility of appointing Walz to the state Senate. Also the DOJ's investigation into the Minnesota fraud scandal and a close look into fraud in other blue states as well. And the double-edged sword of social media and how public servants mitigate their communication alongside citizen journalism.

Tara breaks down a sweeping federal crackdown unfolding in Minneapolis and beyond — from thousands of fraud and immigration investigators deployed, to explosive revelations about ghost daycare centers, suitcase cash operations, and decades-old investigations buried by Washington. As panic spreads among Democrat officials, Tara explains why this moment is different, how crime statistics are finally moving in the right direction, and why the media's narrative about “chaos” and “war” collapses under basic facts and long-standing law. This episode connects fraud, open borders, crime, censorship, and media deception — and shows why accountability is suddenly back on the table.

In this explosive episode, Tara breaks down why federal investigators are flooding Minneapolis — and why local Democrat leadership is panicking in public. After Minnesota Governor Tim Walz abruptly drops out of the governor's race, Trump officials signal what many already suspect: this isn't a PR issue — it's criminal exposure. With 2,000 federal agents deployed, funds frozen, daycare and SNAP programs under review, and ICE on the ground, the reaction from city leaders has turned desperate. From suitcases of cash moving through airports, to empty daycares raking in millions, to a mayor all but threatening ICE agents, Tara lays out a fraud operation years in the making — and why it's finally being exposed.

With the CA state auditor alleging 70 BILLION worth of taxpayer funds "lost," Trump again today announced the DoJ is investigating. Like Maduro & Tim Walz, Gavin may want to get his go-bag packed.

The DOJ missed a legally mandated December 19 transparency deadline on the Epstein files and has offered little more than vague assurances that it is still “working behind the scenes” to process millions of documents. That explanation rings hollow given how long the government has possessed this material and how predictable the transparency requirement was. Missing the deadline is not a clerical slip but a statement of priorities, signaling continued institutional resistance to full disclosure. The invocation of massive document counts functions less as a justification than as a delay tactic, one designed to exhaust public attention and blunt accountability while preserving protection for powerful interests connected to Epstein.The DOJ has repeatedly shifted the goal posts on Epstein transparency by turning clear legal and public demands into an endless process with no fixed endpoint. Each time a deadline or disclosure requirement approaches, it is met not with documents, but with new justifications—more records to review, more redactions to apply, more internal steps to complete. What began as a mandate for transparency has been reframed into a moving target defined entirely by the DOJ's own pace and preferences. This pattern allows the department to appear cooperative while functionally delaying accountability, keeping the most damaging material out of public view while insisting progress is being made. The result is a rolling postponement that undermines the law itself and reinforces the perception that when Epstein is involved, transparency is something the DOJ controls, not something it complies with.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Event Summary (WATCH: PRESIDENT TRUMP PRESS CON HERE) The U.S. military executed a highly complex and precise operation in Caracas, Venezuela, to apprehend Maduro. The mission involved over 150 aircraft, advanced coordination across multiple military branches, and cyber and space operations. The operation was completed without any American casualties, which is emphasized as a major success. Geopolitical Context Venezuela’s significance stems from its vast oil reserves (largest in the world) and strategic location near the U.S. Maduro’s regime is portrayed as illegitimate, corrupt, and deeply involved in drug trafficking and alliances with U.S. adversaries (Russia, China, Iran, Hezbollah). The discussion highlights Venezuela’s decline from being one of the wealthiest nations in the 1950s to a failed state under socialist rule. Legal Justifications President Trump acted within his constitutional authority under Article II as Commander-in-Chief. References are made to historical precedents, notably the 1990 capture of Manuel Noriega in Panama. The legal basis includes: FBI’s extraterritorial arrest authority. Precedents like the Ker-Frisbie doctrine and United States v. Alvarez-Machain. DOJ opinions (including one by Bill Barr) affirming presidential power to authorize such actions. Anticipated legal challenges include head-of-state immunity and UN Charter arguments. Future Implications (WATCH HERE: Is Cuba Ready to Fall?) There will be geopolitical ripple effects in Latin America, especially Cuba and Colombia. Avoiding prolonged U.S. military occupation in Venezuela is key Discussion of possible democratic elections and leadership changes in Venezuela. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Fidel Castro stole everything but their love and their lives. Same with my other grandparents Rafael and Ophelia and my Mom. They lost everything but their love and their lives. Now there's hope of a free Cuba for our long lost family there and hope of making past wrongs right once again. I'm with President Trump all the way. Cuba should be a rich, island paradise and it can be as a US territory. It's a strategic asset for our safety too as a base of operations to defend our homeland in the mainland US. There's no downside to toppling the communists who've only stayed in power by killing and jailing Cubans for decades. Now is the time. It can also serve as a helpful spot to run any US/Venezuela operations that benefits America instead of a narco pass through entity used by our enemies as a constant threat to American safety. Russia, China, Venezuela and many others have used Cuba to threaten us for long enough. It's time we take control and empower the Cuban people. No American blood needs to be spilled. This can be a massive win for the future of both Cuba and more importantly, for America. It's time for the evil of communism to die. https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/2007882386529542519?s=20 https://twitter.com/FaytuksNetwork/status/2008187454595969240?s=20   rials monthly ($7). https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/2007930486438682861?s=20 https://twitter.com/RyanSaavedra/status/2007978922458444265?s=20   longer had it.

Cincinnati police and Secret Service agents responded swiftly to reports of the vandalism, arriving at the scene to detain the man without further incident.

And the Department of War — and the American people — expect justice. Therefore, in response to Senator Mark Kelly's seditious statements — and his pattern of reckless misconduct — the Department of War is taking administrative action against Captain Mark E. Kelly, USN (Ret). The department has initiated retirement grade determination proceedings under 10 U.S.C. § 1370(f), with reduction in his retired grade resulting in a corresponding reduction in retired pay. To ensure this action, the Secretary of War has also issued a formal Letter of Censure, which outlines the totality of Captain (for now) Kelly's reckless misconduct. This Censure is a necessary process step, and will be placed in Captain Kelly's official and permanent military personnel file. Captain Kelly has been provided notice of the basis for this action and has thirty days to submit a response. The retirement grade determination process directed by Secretary Hegseth will be completed within forty five days. Captain Kelly's status as a sitting United States Senator does not exempt him from accountability, and further violations could result in further action. These actions are based on Captain Kelly’s public statements from June through December 2025 in which he characterized lawful military operations as illegal and counseled members of the Armed Forces to refuse lawful orders. This conduct was seditious in nature and violated Articles 133 and 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, to which Captain Kelly remains subject as a retired officer receiving pay. https://twitter.com/TonySeruga/status/2008201370458075286?s=20  energy, and corporatism, all are reliant on the narcos for dark funding.

President Trump shut down a fake news reporter who was trying to create a wedge between Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.   A legacy media reporter tried to stir up a little trouble and President Trump promptly shut her down. “What you say that Marco Rubio has your ear more than the Vice President right now?” a reporter asked President Trump. Trump shut it down. “No! They both do. JD is very smart and doing a great job and so is Marco! I would say they're equal,” Trump said. The reporter continued, “It sounds like [Rubio] is the go to and you were just talking about Cuba and what could come next there.” AUDIO: Source: thegatewaypundit.com https://twitter.com/AwakenedOutlaw/status/2008092328867869069?s=20  a plea of some sort.

This is apparently the overture of what is to come – The Secret Dominion/Huawei Data Center in Belgrade, Serbia – that emphatically and officially did not exist – DID exist and was disabled by U.S. gov employees just days prior to the 2024 election. It has now been dismantled, which may disappoint former CIA Director John Brennan, who reportedly financed half of it from the CIA ‘Black Budget.’ The other half of the funding was from our dear friends in China. That’s right, the theft of The US Presidency and multiple other elections worldwide was co-financed by our own CIA – Top Venezuelan engineers who reportedly designed and executed multiple foreign based election frauds in America using Dominion and Smartmatic systems are in America under U.S. gov protection and have provided sworn testimony. They include an engineer who personally helped illegally install Joe Biden as President in 2020 – These engineers are also joined by General Hugo Carvjal, former Head of Venezuelan Intelligence, now in jail in New York (his cellmate is Diddy Combs) and he is cooperating with Fed authorities (see below) – Another Venezuelan General has now also joined General Carvjal in providing 1st person testimony – Official state and court adduced evidence of 2020 election fraud has been compiled for every one of the battleground states. Cowardice and corruption within the American judiciary has scuttled any real progress – Georgia corruption came into better focus last month as Fulton County admitted not following the law concerning over 300K ‘votes’ and then their most corrupt state judge agreed to unseal the 2020 ‘warehouse ballots,’ many of which are officially sworn to be likely counterfeit. What a sad crooked bunch – The DOJ is suing multiple states to require compliance with Federal election laws including HAVA – Georgia is among them – and @AAGDhillon is leading the charge – President Trump pardoned Tina Peters but corrupt Colorado officials refuse to release her from prison. Colorado wants to litigate her role as a Federal officer in their elections while her health declines due to their horrible conditions. Colorado officials are going to pay dearly – An American Armada, the likes of which hasn’t been assembled in this century, sits off the coast of U.S. Election Theft Central. They are resting up after the historic strike extraction of Maduro. They will not idle long. The President promises to clean out all the cartel del Soles thugs and return Venezuela to democratic self governance.

I think Trump and the US MIL were sending a message. Now is when we start winning the war against the Deep State. I think we have graduated into a new phase of the operation. https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/2007924998703366560?s=20   necessary for what comes later, when Trump invokes the Insurrection Act and sends US MIL to cities nationwide. If the US MIL are going to conduct mass arrests, the public will need to trust them and trust Trump. So for those asking why Trump is arresting Maduro before arresting treasonous actors in the US, I think there is method to the madness. The high-profile US arrests will likely be towards the end, after more of the public are fully bought in on the operation to dismantle the Deep State. Arresting people is the easy part. Convincing billions of people that high-profile individuals, including former heads of state, need to be arrested… that's the tricky part. https://twitter.com/RapidResponse47/status/2008033626294792665?s=20 https://twitter.com/USDOL/status/2007933111729021305?s=20 (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:13499335648425062,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-7164-1323"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.customads.co/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs");

A feckless Chief Justice who is obviously trying to avoid being attacked by his favorite president Trump, issued a worthless “Final Report” on this past year at the Judiciary, filled with misstatements, omissions and misleading “statistics”. Missing from the report? Any mention of Trump's attacks on the Judiciary, Judges, Lawyers and Law Firms, the violence threatened against them, the use of rogue US Attorneys to go after Trump's political enemies, the corruption of the DOJ, the lack of ethics at the Supreme Court, and the battle that has spilled into the open between the lower federal trial courts and the Supreme Court, or the Court being complicit with Trump through the use of the “shadow docket” to allow back door appeals to side with Trump 86% of the time. Michael Popok blows apart the Report and its attempt to wrap Roberts and judges in a flag to fool the American people into believing that the Third Branch hasn't been captured by MAGA and Trump.
