The subpoenas are coming.

Maybe it won’t be long now before America gets some real answers…

Not long after Attorney General William Barr said the actions by Obama-era officials against the Trump 2016 campaign were “unprecedented,” we see some real movement.

And though many citizens have called out Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for dragging his feet, he has issued a press release that most will appreciate.

Subpoenas are on the way for 53 Obama-era officials!

Via The Daily Wire:

The Senate Judiciary Committee announced late on Monday that it would be voting to authorize issuing subpoenas to top Obama-era officials over their investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign and other related matters.

This is BIG!

Subpoena authorization “covers a number of documents” from key witnesses, too.

And some of those witnesses include James Comey, Andrew McCabe, James Clapper, and John Brennan.

If the vote passes, Graham’s subpoena would deliver the following:

• Documents and communications referenced in, and testimony at a hearing or deposition of any individual named or identified by pseudonym in, the report titled “Review of Four FISA Applications and Other Aspects of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane Investigation” issued by the U.S. Department of Justice Inspector General
• Documents and communications related to, and the testimony at a hearing or deposition of any current or former executive branch official or employee involved in, the Crossfire Hurricane investigation (including investigations opened under the Crossfire Hurricane umbrella) or the receipt or analysis of reports prepared by Christopher Steele (commonly referred to as the “Steele dossier”)

We’ve got a long way to go, of course, but this is a step in the right direction.

Sure, we wanted to see this movement years ago but at least something is happening … and Donald Trump might finally be vindicated!

The question now is: what did these officials know, and how far up the food chain did it go? Did Obama himself know?

Many believe he did. But now we just need the proof!

Stay tuned to see what happens if these subpoenas go out…

SHARE the good news — justice might be just around the corner!

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s most recent coronavirus relief package incorporates a plethora of ridiculous mandates, including sections that would allow “nonviolent” felons to be set free from prison and illegal immigrants to be released from federal detention.

On Tuesday, House Democrats unveiled the $3 trillion proposal, which also includes protection for illegal immigrants if their jobs are deemed “essential.”

Releasing convicted criminals onto the streets to re-offend and granting amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants is just part of top Democrats’ partisan wish list.

Taking into consideration that violent criminals often plea down to a lesser offense in return for a shorter prison sentence, it simply does not make sense to release federal prisoners en masse.

According to the U.S. Sentencing Commission’s 2018 annual report, over 97 percent of federal convicts took plea deals instead of facing more serious charges at trial, as Breitbart reported.

So while releasing thousands of “nonviolent” felons might sound like a good idea in theory — at least if you’re a Democrat — it could lead to dangerous criminals being released onto our streets.

“During a declared national emergency relating to a communicable disease, [the legislation] mandates the release into community supervision of federal prisoners and pretrial detainees who are non-violent and, for instance, pregnant women, juveniles, older prisoners and detainees, and those with certain medical conditions,” a summary of the bill reads.

The bill “Modifies probation and supervised release policies to avoid unnecessary in-person contact with probation officers and to reduce the numbers of those supervised and those imprisoned for violations” and “Mandates the release of non-violent pretrial defendants on their own recognizance.”

Pelosi’s HEROES Act also includes provisions that 1) grant judges the ability to shorten the sentences of convicted felons and 2) terminate the fees that jail inmates need to pay before their trials so they can be released without posting bail.

“During the COVID-19 emergency, expands court authority to order compassionate release for federal prisoners and to reduce sentences, and removes administrative barriers that slow the ability of 81 prisoners to seek compassionate release. Authorizes courts to temporarily release persons who have been sentenced, but have not yet been transported to a Bureau of Prisons facility, to protect them from COVID-19,” the summary reads.

“Authorizes the establishment of a grant program that distributes funds directly to state and local courts, with the condition that they impose a moratorium on the imposition and collection of court-imposed fees and fines during the COVID19 crisis,” it adds.

The massive multi-trillion dollar bill is making it easy for most of the establishment media to gloss over the small but powerful sections about illegal alien amnesty.

One section buried all the way down on page 1,762 of the House Democrats’ “HEROES Act” directs the Department of Homeland Security to release back onto the streets illegal immigrants being held by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“The Secretary of Homeland Security shall prioritize for release on recognizance or alternatives to detention individuals who are not subject to mandatory detention laws, unless the individual is a threat to public safety or national security,” the bill reads.

Moreover, under the act, illegal aliens fortunate enough to work in “essential critical infrastructure” are protected from being deemed in violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

That protection is buried all the way down on page 1,737 of the bill.

Employers who hire illegal immigrants to work “essential” jobs would also be exempt.

Thankfully, this partisan play was flagged by Ken Cuccinelli, acting director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, who said it was a push for “amnesty.”

Is it really a good idea to not only grant an amnesty to illegal aliens but to absolve employers who have been breaking the law in the last few months? I don't think so! pic.twitter.com/mak6nHzwiV

— Acting Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli (@HomelandKen) May 13, 2020

 “These pages of the proposed bill create a deferred action program for aliens based on the CISA essential workforce list. Granting both deferred action and employment authorization. The aliens wouldn’t even have to apply for an EAD or deferred action, they get it automatically,” Cuccinelli tweeted.

Instead of focusing on getting getting Americans back to work, Pelosi and her Democratic cohorts are intent of freeing felons and illegal immigrants.

We have already witnessed inmates being released from prisons and jails in California and New York.

If bill were to pass, this short-sighted policy could affect communities across the nation.

The sheer chaos that would presumably ensue would make it difficult for us to get our society functioning again.

Unfortunately, it appears this is precisely what some Democrats are hoping for.

This article appeared originally on The Western Journal.

Former South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy just found a scandalous skeleton in Barack Obama’s administration closet and if Trump didn’t know before he will be furious.

Gowdy, appearing on Fox News, made the astounding claim that team Obama did not just go after Mike Flynn but they went after Trump’s kids.

Gowdy said on the day of Trump’s inauguration this is what team Obama did: “The morning of the inauguration, President Trump’s family members’ names were unmasked.”

From BPR:

Former South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy revealed Thursday that then-incoming National Security Adviser Michael Flynn wasn’t the only one whom Obama administration officials had sought to unmask in late 2016 and early 2017 — they’d also tried to unmask members of then-President-elect Donald Trump’s family.

“There was an unmasking request made the morning of the inauguration,” he said during an appearance on FNC “America’s Newsroom.” “The morning of the inauguration, President Trump’s family members’ names were unmasked.”

While the former congressman cited no evidence to back this up, it’s presumed he gleaned this information from intelligence reports he’d read during his tenure as the chair of the House Oversight Committee prior to his retirement in early 2019.

Reporting by award-winning journalist Adam Housley suggests Flynn “is just the tip of the iceberg” apropos those who were targeted by the Obama administration:

In light of all this emerging information, the goal now is to investigate these unmaskings, according to Senate Judiciary chair Lindsey Graham.

“In light of General Flynn’s unmasking by the Obama Administration, the job of Congress will be to perform oversight of these unmasking requests to ensure the process was used for legitimate national security concerns, not reprisals or political curiosity,” he said in tweets posted Wednesday.

“I specifically want to know how many unmasking requests were made, if any, beyond General Flynn regarding members of the Trump campaign team, family, or associates.”

I am told...Flynn is the tip of the iceberg...this gets worse. "Adam you are looking at the foyer of a house that is a 20 bedroom mansion"

Nancy Pelosi kept the House closed as she prepared a $3 trillion spending bill. The package is filled with nothing but liberal goodies and had no input from Republicans.

Naturally, a bill with such a big price tag would require serious debate, right? You can’t expect something this huge to be passed without bipartisan discussion.

If you thought that, you underestimated how far Nance would go to force her agenda.

From YouTube:

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said that “it’s important for us to put forth our bill now without too much conversation,” when she appeared on MSNBC on 5/11/2020.

Dang. Democrats accuse Trump of a lot of things. But you could never accuse him of getting something done “without too much conversation.”

Yet that is exactly what Pelosi wants to do with the largest spending bill in U.S. history. She actually thinks she can ram this far-left, Democratic boondoggle through Congress without any discussion.

Just about every piece of legislation requires debate from all sides. That’s a crucial part of the process.

Each member of the House represents Americans. Those Americans deserve to have their say, in the form of their elected congressperson.

But Pelosi just admitted she doesn’t want to hear from Americans, as she forces this burden onto us.

Um, excuse me, Nance? I think the American people should have something to say about this $3 trillion price tag.

We’ll be paying that off for decades. Yet Nancy doesn’t want your elected representatives to discuss it!

It seems Nancy thinks Americans should have no input on the very laws that will affect all of us.

“Just let us make the decisions, like good little boys and girls,” she seems to be saying.

Are we going to let her get away with that? Did we miss a meeting of Congress that made Nance Queen of America?

This bill is one of the biggest expansions of government we’ve ever seen. Yet she thinks it won’t be discussed by members of Congress?

A Michigan man with a passion for music and teaching children has seen his life’s work wiped away with the stroke of a pen by Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

Steve Walker, the owner of Walker Music & Textiles Co. in Hastings, Michigan, wept as he spoke with WXMI-TV during a recent interview in which he said Michigan’s lockdown order had forced him and his wife out of business.

Walker puts a very human face on Whitmer’s broad lockdown order, and for him, Walker Music was more than a business, it was a dream come true.

Unfortunately, that dream is dead, at least for now.

Through tears, Walker told WXMI-TV that the closure of his business will have far-reaching implications for him and all those with whom he shared the gift of music.

“This is my dream. Shutting it down. Closing out this phase of my life,” he said. “It won’t be a retail shop anymore, and it won’t be an inviting environment for kids to come and be loved and to learn music.”

Walker opened his music store 11 years ago and was well-liked in the small community of Hastings, which is about an hour west of Lansing, where Whitmer and other lawmakers reside and continue to draw their paychecks.

He lamented Michigan’s overreaching treatment of small business owners like himself.

Per the lockdown order, music stores have been deemed nonessential by Whitmer.

“This is who I am. People that know me, know it is,” Walker said. “If you look on Facebook and Instagram, you’ll see what this means to people. And you’ll see what it means to me.”

“I’ve been sitting here for 60 days watching my neighbors do business day in and day out,” he said. “They aren’t thriving, but they are surviving. There’s no reason in hell I couldn’t have done the same thing. None. And that’s what makes me angry.”

Walker applied for grants from the state in an attempt to keep the business afloat, but that effort proved fruitless.

His landlord has agreed to release him from his lease and now he is liquidating his inventory.

“For our future, we’ve decided that the best thing for us is to close,” Walker’s wife, Nancy, told the TV station. “So right now we’re having 20 percent sales off for the next two weeks, and then we’re only going to run our sales for about six weeks.”

Walker blamed Whitmer directly for killing his dream.

“I put the responsibility of that on the governor’s shoulders because if she had been reasonable, this would not be happening,” he said. “But oh well. That’s the way it is. That’s life. And I have to move on and deal with it.”

The musician and soon-to-be-former businessman also made it clear he never wanted anything from his government but his right to the pursuit of happiness, which he has been denied, thanks to Whitmer’s lockdown order.

“I don’t want a stupid handout from the government, I want my hands untied so I can work,” he said.

But Walker will be forced to find another way to earn a living, and Whitmer and other Democrats will apparently continue to go on deciding what is and isn’t essential — which apparently does not include music.

Thomas Jefferson would probably disagree with any such assertion.

“Do not neglect your music, it will be a companion which will sweeten many hours of life to you,” the country’s third president wrote in a letter to his daughter Martha in 1790.

H/T The Western Journal.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer claimed that the protests against her coronavirus lockdown orders are “racist and misogynistic.”

“These have been really political rallies where people come with Confederate flags and Nazi symbolism and calling for violence,” the Democratic governor told the hosts of ABC’s “The View” on Wednesday.

“This is not appropriate in a global pandemic, but it is certainly not an exercise of democratic principles, where we have free speech,” she said. “This is calls to violence. This is racist and misogynistic.”

Thousands of protesters gathered in Lansing on April 15 to oppose Whitmer’s extended stay-at-home order.

Although the “Operation Gridlock” Facebook event told people to stay in their cars and protest with signs, many people gathered on the steps of the state Capitol.

Whitmer told “The View” that such protests make it likelier that the state will have to remain in a “stay-at-home posture.”

“These protests, they do undermine the effort, and it’s very clearly a political statement that is playing out where people are coming together from across the state, they are congregating, they are not wearing masks, they are not staying six feet apart, and then they go back home into communities and the risk of perpetuating the spread of COVID-19 is real,” she said.

“While I respect people’s right to dissent, they need to do it in a way that is responsible and does not put others at risk,” the governor said.

Whitmer added that “everyone who has a platform” needs to stop encouraging these demonstrations because they make it that much more difficult to “re-engage our economy.”

Whitmer’s claim about “Nazi symbolism” at the protests could be based on a picture of someone holding a “Trump/Pence” sign with a swastika on it that circled the internet after Operation Gridlock.

Snopes, however, reported that the image was taken at a March rally for Democratic Sen. Bernie Sanders at a park in Boise, Idaho.

Still, one woman at the Michigan protest displayed a sign with a swastika on it, seemingly comparing the governor’s orders to Nazi Germany.

Whitmer asked Vice President Mike Pence earlier this week to discourage the Michigan protests and tell people to take COVID-19 seriously, WXYZ-TV reported.

Pence didn’t address the protests but said the Trump administration will “continue to emphasize to people the safe and responsible practices while we’ll move toward reopening.”

Another protest outside the Michigan Capitol has been planned for Thursday, according to the Detroit Free Press.

Trump broke his silence about the scandalous Obama Biden administration today with maria Bartiromo and Barack needs a good lawyer.

“If I were a Democrat instead of a Republican, I think everybody would’ve been in jail a long time ago, & I’m talking with 50-year sentences. People should be going to jail for this stuff. This was all Obama. This was all Biden”

“It was the greatest political crime in the history of our country, it is a disgrace what’s happened. This is the greatest political scam, hoax in the history of our country,” Trump said.

From The Daily Wire:

President Trump then laid into the Obama administration for its apparent efforts to target Flynn.

“People should be going to jail for this stuff and hopefully, a lot of people are going to have to pay,” Trump said. “No other president should have to go through, and I’ll tell you, Gen. Flynn and others are heroes, heroes, because what’s happened to them. They weren’t after Gen. Flynn. They wanted him to lie about me. Make up a story.”

“Unmasking” refers to requests made to intelligence agencies to identify specific individuals referred to in National Security Administration (NSA) reports — in this case, foreign intelligence reports tracking certain Russian officials, including a former Russian ambassador.

Where Russian officials placed calls to members of the Trump team, Obama administration officials asked for those Trump team members to be identified, ostensibly because the Obama White House was looking for evidence that the Trump team was impermissibly collaborating with the Russians to impact the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.

Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell declassified the list of “unmasking” requests last week.

The declassified list, released Wednesday by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) names Obama officials who “may have received Lt. Gen Flynn’s identity in response to a request processed between 8 November 2016 and 31 January 2017 to unmask an identity that had been generically referred to in an NSA foreign intelligence report.”

Although Biden is among those listed in the report, his rapid response director, Andrew Bates, told reporters late Wednesday that “all normal procedures were followed” and called the documents’ release a partisan attack.

“These documents have absolutely nothing to do with any FBI investigation and they confirm that all normal procedures were followed — any suggestion otherwise is a flat out lie,” Bates said.

“What’s more, it’s telling that these documents were selectively leaked by Republicans abusing their congressional powers to act as arms of the Trump campaign after having them provided by a partisan official installed for this very purpose.”

Trump’s campaign fired back, calling Biden’s excuse “limp.”

Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff just flubbed a massive issue in the Supreme Court in a landmark case involving Trump’s taxes.

More embarrassing actions from the Dems that really show you how out of their depths Pelosi and Adam Schiff really are. Total lightweights who protect Wall Street, not Main Street.

“From listening to that argument you would never know the House has won every argument in the lower courts. Two cases in the district courts, two cases in the appellate courts. I say you’d never know because Douglas Letter, the attorney for the House, seemed woefully unprepared for the questions that were asked there,” Law&Crime founder Dan Abrams said.

“He couldn’t cite a particular standard for what would in any way constrain or constrict Congress from simply going on fishing expeditions and asking for medical records, et cetera.”

“But most importantly he couldn’t have not known that he would be asked what kind of legislation could Congress create from these requests— he couldn’t cite a single type of legislation,” he added.

“Now, that doesn’t mean that their position is necessarily weak legally. It does mean that Douglas Letter was in way over his head in this argument.”

“And for Douglas Letter to not be prepared for questions on that … it’s fair to say that it is unacceptable if you are a member of the House and he is your attorney,” he said.

He went on to say the lawyer did real damage to Pelosi’s case and she should be in for a rude awakening when they decide.

Abrams did praise Trump’s legal team:

“On the flip side of that, I think we saw some very strong lawyering from what my be the weaker legal argument from President Trump’s lawyer Patrick Strawbridge and the Department of Justice lawyer Jeffrey Wall, both taking on some of the trickier questions from the liberal justices,” Dan said.

“One has to wonder, in listening to the questions, whether now it is an uphill battle for the House to win this, in particular because even Justice Breyer expressed some concerns, Justice Kagan expressed some concerns about not having a standard that involves some letter of increased scrutiny when it comes to the president of the United States.”

Kavanaugh correctly tells Letter that he has failed to establish a limiting principle for a "valid legislative purpose."

"That's the concern I identified" from other justices' questions, Kavanaugh says. "I want to give you a chance" to explain "why it wouldn't spiral."

Now that the DOJ dropped Michael Flynn’s case, more documents are revealing what went on behind the scenes.

And it doesn’t look good for Obama-era officials… or even Obama himself.

More and more details are suggesting Obama was up to something. President Trump himself called his predecessor out hard on Twitter:

OBAMAGATE makes Watergate look small time!

From Fox News:

President Trump on Sunday intensified his criticism of former President Obama by tying him to the Michael Flynn investigation…

Trump later tweeted, “OBAMAGATE,” indicating that he believes that Obama worked to undermine his presidency.

Woah. As usual, President Trump doesn’t mince words when he called out Obama’s possible involvement in Flynn’s investigation.

A newly released document revealed Obama was aware of the wiretapping of Flynn’s phone calls. That led to Flynn’s questioning and charges.

All that was connected to the FBI’s investigation into Russia—which many believe to have been a hunt against Trump.

It appears Trump is pointing his finger directly at Obama. Former deputy attorney general revealed that Obama knew about Flynn’s wiretapping.

Does that mean Obama was also in the know on Comey’s Russian case? Did Obama know about the phony dossier that was used to secure a FISA warrant against Trump’s campaign staffer?

Did Obama know that James Comey said he wasn’t investigating Trump, when evidence suggests that was his plan all along?

Trump seems to think so. And in fact, by calling it “Obamagate,” it appears Trump is saying Obama was behind it all.

That’s the biggest question that needs to be answered. More and more evidence suggests the deep state hatched these investigations to take down the president.

Does that mean Obama not only knew about all this… but was behind it? Or at the very least, in agreement?

It’s either that or he was completely unaware of major investigations by his own DOJ. Which is more possible?

Hollywood actor Michael Rapaport crossed the line with a nasty Mother’s day attack on First Lady Melania Trump.

He disgraced himself with a few Tweets today: HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!! I hope you’re a better Mother than you are First Lady, you’re useless as a First Lady, literally @FLOTUS #MILFS.

From The Washington Examiner: The tweet was accompanied by the vulgar hashtag “#Milfs.”

Rapaport previously took aim at the first lady in April via a meme of her and President Trump with the message, “Just a reminder, a hooker and a con man are running America” and a caption warning, “Never forget.”

In March, he also posted a profanity-laced video slamming the entire Trump family.

“Why don’t you send your f—ing son, dick stain Donald Trump Jr., big-toothed Eric Trump, little f—ing Barron, f—ing Ivanka, junkyard Jared — let them go out there and test the f—ing waters,” Rapaport said.

“Let them see if shit is sweet. Let them take the cars, the trains, the buses, the Amtraks. Let them play in the park.

And if everything’s good after five days of them playing out there in the streets, we’ll all go back to [work].”

“F—ing pig — the real people want to get back to work ASAP? You never worked a f—ing day in your life. You’re worried about the next four years?

You need to be worried about the next four days, motherf—er. You need to be worried about the next four weeks — the next four months, you motherf—er.

You are the worst possible motherf—er we could have in power, making decisions right now,” he said.

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

Former federal prosecutor Trey Gowdy dropped the hammer on the hapless Adam Schiff and his accomplices in the media.

Gowdy says the media aided and abetted Adam in perpetrating this fraud attempt to take down President Trump.

He went on to say just voting Adam Schiff out of office is not enough and he said the reporters who helped Adam push the fake story need to be named and shamed.

“The media, not only did they not provide scrutiny over Adam Schiff, they aided and abetted him,” Gowdy said.

“Politico, the Hill, Washington Post, New York Times, I’ll come on and even give you the reporters’ names sometimes.”

“The reporters who sat there and helped Adam Schiff perpetrate this fraud, next time I’m with you I’ll give you the names of the reporters.”

“I asked every one of them. Even if it’s hearsay, even if it’s something you heard that you didn’t believe.”

“Even if it’s inadmissible in court, tell me everything you’ve ever heard about Trump, his campaign, or even the groupies and the hangers-on in his campaign, and there was nothing, so my expectations of Adam Schiff are very low.”

“He still doesn’t meet them, but they’re very low.”

“My expectation of the D.C. media was a little higher, and they aided and abetted him for the entire year we conducted this investigation.”

“I’d love for the D.C. media, who loves leaks, they live on leaks,” https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/gowdy-ready-to-expose-reporters-who-aided-and-abetted-adam-schiff-during-russia-investigationsaid Gowdy.

“I wish somebody would leak to them who it was that told President Obama that Michael Flynn’s name was in that transcript.”

“He’s got immunity,” added Gowdy of Scgiff facing charges. “The only accountability shouldn’t come from court.”

“Let the voters throw him out. They can do better in California.”
