Former DC Attorney General Ed Martin Warns ‘DOJ Much Worse Than People Think’

The once temporary DC US Attorney Ed Martin, who the GOP decided was too much of a danger to themselves thus was dispensed, gave a masterful interview with Tucker Carlson. Totally riveting. Former Judge Jeanine Pirro is his temporary replacement and all I can say is she has a mighty big task ahead. You will understand why the GOP had to get rid of him. Why Senator Tillis took the hit. More importantly, he gives the background to the J6 nonsense as well as the undisclosed pipe bomber story.

Zero Hedge sets it up:

Ed Martin, a senior official in the Trump administration’s Department of Justice, is warning that corruption within federal law enforcement is far more severe than the American public realizes. Martin, who holds the roles of Director of the Weaponization Working Group, Associate Deputy Attorney General, and Pardon Attorney, made the comments during an interview with Tucker Carlson.

When asked by Carlson whether the DOJ is worse than people believe, Martin went further, declaring, “I think it’s worse than incompetence.” However, he urged that importance of following the facts and not getting ahead of investigations, saying, “The only way forward is not to describe what I think of the motives but to expose over and over again what’s happened. If you expose what happened and the truth gets out, then accountability is possible.

Martin went on to praise Bongino’s efforts, noting, “He is going hammer and tongs at this stuff.” The Trump DOJ official acknowledged the complexity of pursuing accountability, saying, “You can’t arrest everybody in the first month, but you got to get this going.”

Martin then described the issues facing the DOJ as “much, much worse than people think.”

Pro-Illegal Alien And DEI Supporter Ashleigh Bondoc Joins DOJ As Special Assistant To White House Senior Counselor

With judicial appointments, Trump is still seems to be receiving bad vetting or is intentionally being sabotaged, similar to he was with the Amy Coney Barrett pick. Fire brand Laura Loomer who has misfired at times, still manages hitting many bulls-eye and this sure appears to be one.

Many are asking of AG Bondi, Where’s the beef? Lots of investigations, but how about some arrests? She manages to find her way to Fox News often enough. Then there is the Jeffrey Epstein Files that have yet to see the light of day while it is reported that the files are being scrubbed as we speak.

Here we go with the Loomered story of Bondoc.

Ashleigh Bondoc, an attorney with a history of advocating for illegal aliens and DEI policies, has been appointed as a Special Assistant to Stanley Woodward, the Senior Counselor to President Donald Trump and the newly nominated Associate Attorney General, within the Department of Justice (DOJ). Woodward and Bondoc report to US Attorney General Pam Bondi.

The hiring, confirmed through Bondoc’s LinkedIn profile, has raised questions about the alignment of personnel decisions within the Trump administration, especially since the Trump administration has promised and embraced policies designed to crack down on illegal immigration and DEI.

According to her LinkedIn profile, Bondoc previously served as a Public Interest Intern at the American Bar Association’s Commission on Immigration. In that role, she provided legal support to illegal immigrants in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities.

Her responsibilities included: Offering legal assistance to ICE detainees via a multilingual hotline, communicating in English and Spanish, preparing legal portfolios to aid detainees in resolving immigration cases, including asylum claims and challenges to criminal charges, and drafting formal complaints based on detainee concerns for submission to ICE.

LinkedIn records also reveal that Bondoc worked as an immigration paralegal for Glinsmann Immigration in Gaithersburg, Maryland. In that role, Bondoc was responsible for assisting with the preparation and development of non-removal proceeding immigration cases (specifically, permanent residence, permanent labor certification, family-based immigration, and naturalization cases) through the completion of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services forms, research, and evidence analysis and organization.

Additionally, during her time as a student at The Catholic University of America, Bondoc participated in Diversity Career Panel Discussions, which focused on promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in professional settings.

Karma Comes to AG Letitia James; DOJ Receives a Criminal Referral Against Her

GW Law Prof Jonathan Turley on shocking Letitia James allegations: ‘The irony is crushing. James prosecuted Trump for misleading financial statements, yet now faces similar questions about residency claims and loan applications. DOJ has prosecuted others for falsely claiming properties as principal residences. Rules apparently don’t apply to those enforcing them.'”

‘This is really for James, the very case that she most famously brought. She insisted that these technicalities matter and that the powerful should not be given a free pass. Well, that bill has come due in this case… I’m honestly just not sure how you defend against this unless you say that these are fraudulent documents.'”

Among other issues, Newsweek gives us this:

A separate land record stipulates both women to “occupy, establish, and use” the Norfolk home as their “principal residence” within 60 days and to keep it their “principal residence” for at least one year.

“This is a potential problem for Letitia James,” former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told Newsweek.

He cited New York law as it pertains to elected officials to be one potential legal roadblock.

State law says the following: “When an officeholder removes his residence from the territorial limits required by statute, the office is rendered vacant.”

 

The turning of the screw….how quickly it can happen.

A year ago:

 

You can catch the rest of the details over at:

New York Post:

WASHINGTON — New York Attorney General Letitia James was hit with a federal criminal referral for instances of alleged mortgage fraud on Tuesday, according to a letter obtained by The Post.

Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director William Pulte sent the missive to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche, alleging that James had “falsified records” to get home loans for a property in Virginia that she claimed was her “principal residence” in 2023 — while still serving as a New York state prosecutor.

 

In the full Turley interview he mentions that this is not a trivial matter, and pointed out the Mayor of Baltimore and her experience with the law.

What happened to the last mayor of Baltimore?
 
 
Catherine Elizabeth Pugh (born March 10, 1950) is an American former politician who served as the 51st mayor of Baltimore, Maryland’s largest city, from 2016 to 2019. She resigned from office amid a scandal that eventually led to criminal charges, three years in prison, and three years probation in 2020.
 

Former Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh Sentenced to Three Years in Federal Prison for Fraud Conspiracy and Tax Charges

Baltimore, Maryland – U.S. District Judge Deborah K. Chasanow today sentenced Catherine Elizabeth Pugh, age 69, of Baltimore, Maryland, to three years in federal prison, followed by three years of supervised release, on charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and two counts of tax evasion.  

“Today, Catherine Pugh learned the consequences of her actions.  When those in positions of trust conspire to defraud the government and engage in corrupt ventures, they must be held accountable,” said IRS-CI Special Agent in Charge Kelly R. Jackson.  “We will continue to pursue justice against those whose actions deteriorate the confidence of the citizens that they were elected to serve.”

Biden DOJ to Bring 200 More Charges Against J6 Cases at Last Minute

As the terrorists stalk the land, the DOJ keeps at it with the J6 arrests. Biden and his henchmen are committed to ending on the lowest note possible.

Gateway Pundit:

Four years later…

The Biden DOJ on Monday revealed it is likely going to charge 200 more Trump supporters related to the January 6, 2021 Capitol protest.

More than 1,500 January 6ers – many nonviolent, first time offenders – have been charged by Merrick Garland’s DOJ in the last four years.

 

Biden’s DOJ hunted down MAGA grandmothers and other non-violent offenders and threw them in the DC gulag.

Revolver News recently floated a scenario in which the Biden DOJ unseals an indictment on the January 6 pipe bomber shortly before Trump’s inauguration to throw a wrench in Trump’s possible blanket pardon of J6ers.

The FBI last Thursday evening released *new* footage of the January 6 pipe bomber after Rep. Loudermilk released a report revealing the bureau engaged in a massive coverup operation.

More lawfare….

Politico reported:

Federal prosecutors are weighing charging as many as 200 more people for their involvement in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol — including 60 suspected of assaulting or impeding police officers during the riot that nearly derailed the transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden.

The new figures, released by the Justice Department Monday, reveal for the first time how many cases prosecutors believe are pending as Trump prepares to take office and threatens to unravel the massive four-year probe. About 1,583 people have faced federal charges for their role in the attack — including more than 600 facing felony charges for assaulting or resisting police during the chaos.

Though the Justice Department has released monthly statistics on the Jan. 6 probe — the largest federal prosecution in its history, according to DOJ leaders, Monday’s figures are the first time prosecutors have estimated how many uncharged cases remain. It’s a signal flare to Trump, who has indicated he expects to pardon many people involved in the attack but has repeatedly mischaracterized the status of the cases.

Warden Admits Biden-Harris DOJ Has Illegally Imprisoned Steve Bannon Since October 19

 

Liz Cheney, who is out with Kamala, might be asked about Steve Bannon. After all, she is the one who set up Bannon in that nonsensical  congressional J6 show. Bannon who was appealing his conviction for not making it to her party, was sent to jail before his appeal could be heard. 

Gateway Pundit

A letter obtained by The Tennessee Star, addressed to Bannon’s legal team, confirms that Bannon, who was due for early release under accrued good time credits, has not been released due to bureaucratic delays purportedly caused by the Biden-Harris regime.

The Tennessee Star on Monday obtained a letter sent by the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to attorneys representing Steve Bannon, wherein the federal agency acknowledged it is holding the former White House chief strategist in violation of the First Step Act (FSA) of 2018, as Bannon accrued 10 days of good time credit toward an early release:

To date, Mr. Bannon has earned 10 First Step Act (“FSA”) time credits. These credits would typically be applied toward early transfer to supervision pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 3624 (g) (3). However, Mr. Bannon does not have a term of supervision following his term of imprisonment. Thus, his 10 FSA time credits can only be applied toward prerelease custody placement in a Residential Reentry Center or on home confinement.”

 
Steve Bannon’s lawyers filed a motion on August 29, urging for his immediate release and questioning why the government’s response to his petition has been delayed for over 75 days.

Steve Bannon has been incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Institute in Danbury, Connecticut, serving a four-month sentence for defying a congressional subpoena from the sham House select committee investigating the events of January 6, 2021.

According to the letter from Acting Warden Darek Puzio, Bannon earned 10 FSA time credits, which should have allowed for his transfer to home confinement three days ago, on October 19, 2024.

However, the warden’s letter states that the BOP found there to be “insufficient time” to process Bannon’s transfer to home confinement, leaving him to serve out the remainder of his sentence until the scheduled release date next week, October 29, 2024.

These are the wheels of justice under Biden/Harris. Yet they claim that it is Trump who will lock up his enemies?

When is your pound of flesh going to be enough Liz? Of course this keeps Bannon off the radio with his popular show.

Biden DOJ Goes After State For Punishing Prostitutes for knowingly Spreading HIV – Violates ADA

Another minority gal wonder from Biden’s Dept. of Justice who will wreck havoc on the men in Tennessee. Better to spread HIV than discriminate against someone with an “HIV disability.” If one had any doubt that the DOJ is off the rails, this one should clear it up.

Here is the story:

The Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a lawsuit against the state of Tennessee Thursday over a law penalizing prostitutes for spreading the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), insanely claiming it is a “prohibited form of discrimination” under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

The Tennessee law, which was passed in 1991, characterizes intentionally spreading HIV as “aggravated prostitution.” Specifically, this occurs when a person “engages in sexual activity as a business or is an inmate in a house of prostitution or loiters in a public place for the purpose of being hired to engage in sexual activity” despite knowing that they are infected with HIV.

A person convicted of “aggravated prostitution” faces up to 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000. Most of Tennessee’s prostitution occurs in the Memphis area.

Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division released a statement claiming the law targets HIV-infected individuals because of their “disability.” Yes, in the eyes of the Regime, having a deadly, infectious disease counts as a disability.

The enforcement of state criminal laws that treat people differently based on HIV status alone and that are not based on actual risks of harm, discriminate against people living with HIV. People living with HIV should not be subjected to a different system of justice based on outdated science and misguided assumptions.

Keep reading

It also follows a federal lawsuit filed by multiple organizations — including the American Civil Liberties Union, the Transgender Law Center and the ACLU of Tennessee — on behalf of four “Jane Doe” plaintiffs and OUTMemphis, a local nonprofit that serves the LGBTQ community.

Just who is Attorney Kristen Clarke?

Google starts out:

What is Kristen Clarke known for?
Throughout her career, Clarke has focused on work that seeks to strengthen our democracy by combating discrimination faced by African Americans and other marginalized communities. Her role involves ensuring civil liberties for all Americans.

Her name rang a bell with me, and indeed she managed to find her way here in Pennsylvania in our election process/chaos. Too much in the weeds to get into, but I had caught this then:

Kristen Clarke, Assistant AG Civil Rights Div is a radical Marxist. Ethical questions & ideological extremism. She was accused of multiple instances of providing false testimony under oath during confirmation. Only one GOP Senator voted for her approval

From Karl Marx’s America

Her storied past included a no win for the Boy Scouts of America

LGBTQ rights

In 2015, Clarke opened an investigation into the Boy Scouts to look at the national group’s ban on openly gay adults and alleged hiring rejections based on sexual orientation in New York.[31] The investigation was about “ensuring equal protection under the law for all New Yorkers, including lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals who live and work in New York.”[32] In July 2015, her office secured an agreement with the Boy Scouts of America to end their policy of excluding openly gay adults from serving as leaders in the organization.[33] The terms of the agreement applied nationally. In an editorial with Chad Griffin, she called for policymakers and the public to treat the recent wave of hate-motivated violence toward trans women of color as a national crisis.[34]

Of course this opened the doors for pedophiles but I am sure you already connected the dots.

Tucker Carlson ‘Safer to be the president’s son than his opponent’ #5

,

Tucker is out with his take on the latest news of Hunter Biden taking a walk. ‘What we’re watching here is the total inversion of virtue,’ yes indeed.

 

Tucker Carlson on Tuesday, June 20, 2023. (Video screenshot)

 

Titled

 

 

Here is a Twitter copy in case Youtube takes it down.

Virtue? Anyone say virtue?

So how did the MSNBC take the news that Hunter was walking?

Of course the case is ongoing. Thus Comer and GOP will find it hard sailing to continue the quest for the documents to bring it all home to dad. Wray? “It’s an ongoing investigation.”

If you are still game on the virtue thing. I will throw in the latest from James O’Keefe. This dropped yesterday in the midst of the Hunter story and deserves him getting some credit as he toils in the vineyard of evil.

Yes, a very good day in the swamp.

Whistleblower On Biden Corruption Goes Missing In Cyprus After Saying Biden Wants To Bury Him

 

The House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer said he is going to drop the documents including bank records tomorrow that will prove the corruption of the Biden syndicate. That is if Biden doesn’t manage to get them sealed before then.

And just like that we hear that one of the whistleblowers Gal Luft has gone missing. What a coincidence. 

An alleged Israeli whistleblower who is an expert on energy security has gone missing in Cyprus after claiming in a tweet that the Biden administration was out to “bury” him.

First a refresher on where we are with the investigation.

This past weekend on “Sunday Morning Futures” Maria Bartiromo  interviewed the House Oversight Committee Chair Comer.

 

 

Zero Hedge:

In February, Dr. Gal Luft, the founder and executive director of the Washington-based Institute for the Analysis of Global Security (IAGS), was preparing to reveal damning information about the Biden family’s international business exploits to Congress when the Biden Department of Justice had him arrested on weapon trafficking charges.

Luft reportedly told the FBI in 2019 that the Bidens informed a Chinese energy executive that he was the target of a federal investigation, allowing him to flee the country before he could be arrested.

According to Luft’s lawyer, the Justice Department is retaliating against his client “with trumped-up and false charges.”

…….

Luft alleged through Henoch that four years ago, he tried to inform the DOJ that CEFC had paid $100,000 a month to Hunter Biden and $65,000 to Joe Biden’s brother Jim, “in exchange for their FBI connections and use of the Biden name to promote China’s Belt and Road Initiative around the world,” the New York Post reported in March.

….

CEFC paid a further $4.9 million to Hunter and Jim Biden in monthly installments for 14 months from August 2017, government records show.

The House Oversight Committee released bank statements last week, showing an additional $1,065,000 was funneled from a Chinese company affiliated with CEFC to Hunter, Jim, and Hallie Biden, Hunter’s former lover, and widow of his late brother, Beau. The payments were made in increments over three months through Biden associate Rob Walker, whose wife, Betsy, had been personal assistant to then-second lady Jill Biden.

FBI Lied to Judge, then Confiscated $86 Million from 1400 Safe Deposit Boxes

Another amazing out of control move by the FBI and DOJ. Wait until we get the 84,000 more IRS agents. It gives new meaning to “drill baby drill.” What happened to probable cause? Here we go:

The FBI ‘drilled and pried’ their way into 1,400 safe-deposit boxes at a private vault company in Beverly Hills after misleading a judge about their plan to permanently confiscate everything inside every box containing at least $5,000 in cash or goods, a senior FBI agent recently testified.

Query Image

They rummaged through personal belongings of a jazz saxophone player, an interior designer, a retired doctor, a flooring contractor, two Century City lawyers and hundreds of others.

Agents took photos and videos of pay stubs, password lists, credit cards, a prenuptial agreement, immigration and vaccination records, bank statements, heirlooms and a will, court records show. In one box, agents found cremated human remains.

They omitted from their warrant request a central part of the FBI’s plan: Permanent confiscation of everything inside every box containing at least $5,000 in cash or goods, a senior FBI agent recently testified.

The FBI’s justification for the dragnet forfeiture was its presumption that hundreds of unknown box holders were all storing assets somehow tied to unknown crimes, court records show.

The U.S. attorney’s office has tried to block public disclosure of court papers that laid bare the government’s deception, but a judge rejected its request to keep them under seal.

The failure to disclose the confiscation plan in the warrant request came to light in FBI documents and depositions of agents in a class-action lawsuit by box holders who say the raid violated their rights.

The court filings also show that federal agents defied restrictions that U.S. Magistrate Judge Steve Kim set in the warrant by searching through box holders’ belongings for evidence of crimes.

“The government did not know what was in those boxes, who owned them, or what, if anything, those people had done,” Robert Frommer, a lawyer who represents nearly 400 box holders in the class-action case, wrote in court papers.

LA Times

From Bunkerville’s earlier story in April 5, 2021:

Back to today’s story:

This is the problem with these Magistrate Federal Judges. They have not been approved by the senate and may have questionable legal experience. They are basically to do the “grunt” work of the Federal Judges. In this case though, the FBI clearly roamed beyond the restrictions set.

The government shops for them to do their dirty work. Article III judges should be required for warrants such as these:

Article III Judges

Article III of the Constitution governs the appointment, tenure, and payment of Supreme Court justices, and federal circuit and district judges. These judges, often referred to as “Article III judges,” are nominated by the president and confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

Back to the story:

The FBI and US attorney’s office in Los Angeles justified the 5-day dragnet forfeiture at the US Private Vaults store by assuming that hundreds of anonymous box holders were storing assets somehow tied to unknown crimes.

At the end of the operation, agents had recovered more than $86 million in cash, and a ‘bonanza’ of gold, silver, rare coins, jewelry and other items of value.

Now, around 700 box holders who aren’t implicated in any crimes liken the raid to police barging into a building’s 700 apartments and taking every tenant’s possessions when the only evidence of wrongdoing is against the landlord.

The plaintiffs in the class-action suit have asked U.S. District Judge R. Gary Klausner to declare the raid unconstitutional. If he grants the request, it could force the FBI to return millions of dollars to box holders whose assets it has tried to confiscate.

It could also spoil an unknown number of criminal investigations by blocking prosecutors from using any evidence or information acquired in the raid, including guns and drugs. –LA Times

The government did not know what was in those boxes, who owned them, or what, if anything, those people had done,” said their lawyer, Robert Frommer. “That’s why the warrant application did not even attempt to argue there was probable cause to seize and forfeit box renters’ property.”

After the raid, the FBI posted a notice in the store window where customers could claim their property. Those who came forward had their bank records, state tax returns, DMV files and criminal histories investigated, agents testified.

As far as having a private vault lockbox, if it is anything like where I live, there are no bank boxes available. When is America going to say enough is enough?

Whitmer Kidnapping trial Judge places 25-minute limit on defense attorneys but not on prosecutors 

 

BREAKING: Federal judge in Whitmer Kidnapping trial places 25-minute limit on defense attorneys but not on prosecutors. Defense attorneys now arguing with Judge Robert Jonker about his order under Reeves. This was applied to two government witnesses who pleaded guilty. 

Earlier in the trial:

The judge is getting impatient with the defense in the Gov. Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping retrial, telling lawyers they are taking too much time talking about “crap” that isn’t important, dragging out the case and exhausting jurors in the process.

“You can look at the jury and see when they are checking out — and they’re checking out,” U.S. District Judge Robert Jonker said after the jury went home Friday.

“It’s getting ridiculous,” Jonker said of the time spent on cross-examinations, warning he is going to think “hard” over the weekend about enforcing time limits “unless the defendants can start focusing on something that really matters.” Read more Detroit Free Press.

And with that he limited the time for the defense attorneys yesterday.
