DOJ during Trump’s first term stymied, squashed probes on Comey, Clinton, Schiff and Hunter Biden

The Justice Department, FBI, and IRS during the first Trump administration slow-walked, declined to aggressively pursue, or squashed investigations into potential criminal behavior by James Comey, Hillary Clinton and her Clinton Foundation, now Sen. Adam Schiff, Hunter Biden, and other politically-sensitive figures.

A host of declassifications published by Just the News in recent weeks have revealed new details about these investigations by the DOJ, FBI, and IRS — including previously unknown details about how many of these inquiries were delayed or ground to a halt during President Donald Trump’s first term in office.

Newly-declassified records detail evidence that since-fired FBI Director Comey approved leaking classified information despite his denials to the contrary, including using his lieutenants and friends to leak to the media. 

New allegations about how then-Rep. and now-Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., may have leaked classified information to hurt Trump as well also surfaced, as well as new information on how inquiries into the Clinton Foundation were shut down. The Trump DOJ declined to pursue prosecutions in any of these matters.

The IRS investigation into now-former President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, was also first slow-walked by the DOJ during the first Trump administration, according to whistleblowers. And special counsel John Durham — appointed by then-Attorney General William Barr — did not pursue prosecutions against members of the intelligence community or FBI (except for Kevin Clinesmith), despite the politicized nature of the Trump-Russia investigation.

There is some emerging evidence that the current Justice Department and FBI under Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel will be more aggressive this time around. FBI agents early on Friday raided the suburban Maryland home of former National Security Advisor John Bolton as part of an investigation into a national security matter.

Patel seemingly hinted at the action on his X social media account, writing that “NO ONE is above the law… @FBI agents on mission.”

Adam Schiff, Facing Criminal Investigation, Forms Legal Defense Fund

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who abused his positions on the House Intelligence Committee and the January 6 Committee to pursue political foes, has formed a legal defense fund to deal with his own mounting legal woes.

The New York Times reported Tuesday:

As a member of the U.S. House, Mr. Schiff led congressional inquiries into Mr. Trump during his first term in the White House. He served as the lead impeachment manager in Mr. Trump’s first impeachment and then on the committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol.

…

Paperwork for the “Senator Schiff Legal Defense Fund” filed with the Internal Revenue Service is dated Aug. 14, records show.

“It’s clear that Donald Trump and his MAGA allies will continue weaponizing the justice process to attack Senator Schiff for holding this corrupt administration accountable,” said Marisol Samayoa, a spokeswoman for Mr. Schiff. “This fund will ensure he can fight back against these baseless smears while continuing to do his job.”

As ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee, Schiff leaked information that he hoped would implicate then-President Donald Trump in so-called “Russia collusion,” often lying to the public about it.

Schiff also tried to suppress findings by then-chairman Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA) into the origins of the Russia investigation, and targeted Kash Patel, a key investigator — who now is the head of the FBI.

When Schiff became chairman of the committee, he launched an investigation that would lead to the first Trump impeachment, lying to the public about his staff’s contact with a so-called “whistleblower.” Schiff promised the whistleblower would testify, then reneged on that promise and invented a false right for the whistleblower not to be named in public. He conducted hearings in secret, leaking reports about what was said that often turned out to be the opposite of what actually happened, and suppressing contrary testimony.

The final House Impeachment Report revealed that Schiff had spied on Nunes, on Patel, and on Trump’s attorney. He failed to defend the report at the House Judiciary Committee, sending a staffer instead.

After failing to convince the Senate to convict Trump, Schiff went on to serve on the one-sided January 6 Committee, which protected then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and again held secret hearings in which witnesses had few due process rights. The committee later destroyed its documents to cover up its work.

Report: Adam Schiff Got Below-Market Mortgage Rate on Potomac Home After 16 Years of Fraudulently Claiming It as Primary Residence

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), longtime nemesis of President Donald Trump, is enjoying a rock bottom 3 percent mortgage rate on both his Maryland and California homes since refinancing in 2020, newly released documents examined by the New York Post reveal.

That, according to the Post report, is below the average 30-year mortgage interest rate in 2020 of 3.10% for primary residences in the U.S., with secondary residences usually subject to rates up to 0.5% higher.

The rates in question are newsworthy because of a Department of Justice (DOJ) criminal investigation underway into the senator’s home financing. As Breitbart News has reported, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) accuses the junior senator of potential mortgage fraud for claiming two homes as primary residences for more than a decade to achieve lower mortgage rates and reduced taxes.

According to DOJ sources, a grand jury in Maryland is currently evaluating a criminal indictment against the former 12-term congressman.

Exposed: How Hillary Planned to Reward Schiff for Undermining Trump

The real scandal at the heart of the Russiagate saga is the intimate and troubling connection between Adam Schiff and Hillary Clinton. This connection reveals how classified intelligence was weaponized to target Donald Trump. We’ve already talked about how recently declassified documents confirm the Trump-Russia collusion hoax was a deliberate political hit job, which Barack Obama approved in coordination with Clinton’s 2016 campaign. But things are so much worse.

As PJ Media previously reported, then-congressman Schiff was the architect behind the deliberate leaking of classified information aimed at smearing Trump and pushing a narrative against him designed to ensure his prosecution.

Back in 2017, a veteran career intelligence officer working for Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee warned the FBI that Schiff had not only approved but actively orchestrated the leaking of sensitive classified intelligence. According to whistleblower testimony from 2023 interviews, Schiff convened a staff meeting where he explicitly declared that the group would leak damaging classified information about President Trump. His goal was to use this information to secure an indictment against Trump. 

The whistleblower, who was close to Schiff and other intelligence figures on both sides of the aisle, described these actions as “unethical,” “illegal,” and “treasonous.”

Meet the Leakers! Russiagate Was More Incestuous Than You Could Believe

Many years ago, Bill Whittle gave me the sharpest definition you might ever read for the proper role of journalism in a healthy republic: “They’re the antibodies of the body politic.” But we do not live in a healthy republic — and journalists too often are part of the cancer we’re trying to eliminate. 

Case in point: So-called journalists who, instead of investigating Russiagate claims, performed as marionettes for the Obama-era intelligence community, determined to rig and then undo a presidential election.

And now we have at least two names.

I’ll get to those in just a moment, but first, this important reminder.

At the center of the Obama White House’s fabricated Russia collusion narrative is Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) — currently under investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland for mortgage fraud.

The first name is Ellen Nakashima, whom RealClearInvestigations senior reporter Paul Sperry dryly calls “the Washington Post’s handmaiden for the deep state.” Her most recent appearance, Sperry reported on Tuesday, isn’t under her WaPo byline, but in “FBI 302s as the likely key recipient of classified intelligence leaks from Adam Schiff regarding Russiagate.”

Sperry previously reported in July that “Declassified docs show Obama’s spooks used Washington Post stenographer Ellen Nakashima to plant 3 major Russiagate stories,” so the idea that Nakashima was also on Schiff’s speed dial is hardly outrageous.

“It has come to my attention that Washington Post reporter @nakashimae appears to be actively harassing ODNI staff,” administration intel chief Tulsi Gabbard posted on X last month. “Instead of reaching out to my press office, she is calling high-level Intelligence Officers from a burner phone, refusing to identify herself, lying about the fact that she works for the Washington Post, and then demanding they share sensitive information.”

Nakashima also helped bury the Hunter Biden Laptop from Hell story.

Another name is New York Times investigative reporter Michael Schmidt.

“Come Get Me, Kash… I Won’t Be Silent” — Eric Swalwell Lashes Out After Declassified FBI Docs Reveal He Was Likely Source of Leaks to Damage Trump Along with Adam Schiff

Newly declassified FBI records have fingered Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) as a likely conduit for damaging leaks aimed at undermining President Donald Trump, along with disgraced Rep. Adam Schiff.

According to the FBI’s own 302 interview summaries, now in the hands of Congress thanks to FBI Director Kash Patel, the whistleblower noted that “Rep. Swalwell has been the source of a lot of leaked information and had to be counseled to be more careful.”

According to Emmy-winning investigative journalist Catherine Herridge:

“I have obtained a newly declassified @FBI interview summary from 2017 about intelligence leaks from the Russia probes.

While the interview subject’s name is withheld, it appears to be a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.

According to the FBI report known as a ‘302,’ (redacted) “noted Swalwell has been the source of a lot of leaked information and had to be counseled to be more careful.”

I have reached out to staff for @RepSwalwell congressman for comment.”

Former FBI Chief Chris Wray Knew About Adam Schiff Leaking Classified Documents to Press but Did Nothing – It Was Just Another of Chris Wray’s Many Possibly Criminal Acts as FBI Director

On Monday, Just the News broke the news that a Democrat whistleblower told the FBI in 2017 that Adam Schiff okayed leaking classified documents with the intent to harm President Trump.

This same Democrat whistleblower told the FBI agents from the agency’s St. Louis office again in 2023 that he personally attended a meeting at which Schiff authorized leaking classified information.

The FBI brass did nothing. Chris Wray did nothing. The FBI under Chris Wray allowed these criminal acts to take place.

Chris Wray has a long record of allowing the bureau to engage in criminal acts under his direction.

Here are a few of Chris Wray’s notable lawless acts as FBI Chief.

Dem Whistleblower Gives ‘Very Specific’ Information Implicating Adam Schiff

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is facing serious allegations stemming from newly declassified FBI documents that reportedly link him to the approval of leaking classified information in an effort to discredit President Donald Trump.

The information comes from a whistleblower identified as a longtime Democratic staff member on the House Intelligence Committee, whose account is detailed in a 302 report declassified by FBI Director Kash Patel.

The report was among a series of documents recently made public following earlier releases by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

According to the documents obtained by Just The News and handed over to Congress, the whistleblower informed the FBI that Schiff approved the leaking of classified material during a meeting in 2017.

Woah: President Trump Announces Loathsome Senator Adam Schiff Has Been Caught Allegedly Committing Mortgage Fraud

President Trump announced on Tuesday that loathsome Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) has been caught allegedly committing mortgage fraud by Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division.

“I have always suspected Shifty Adam Schiff was a scam artist,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “And now I learn that Fannie Mae’s Financial Crimes Division have concluded that Adam Schiff has engaged in a sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud.”

“Adam Schiff said that his primary residence was in MARYLAND to get a cheaper mortgage and rip off America, when he must LIVE in CALIFORNIA because he was a Congressman from CALIFORNIA,” Trump added.” I always knew Adam Schiff was a Crook. The FRAUD began with the refinance of his Maryland property on February 6, 2009, and continued through multiple transactions until the Maryland property was correctly designated as a second home on October 13, 2020.”

“Mortgage Fraud is very serious, and CROOKED Adam Schiff (now a Senator) needs to be brought to justice.”

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Schiff has claimed his primary residence as Maryland.

In April 2023, a concerned citizen from the state of California uncovered what is believed to be crimes committed by Schiff.

Schiff was elected to Congress in 2000. In 2003, he reportedly purchased a home in Maryland with his wife, stating they would occupy this home for 12 consecutive months as their “primary residence.” Despite this claim, Schiff continued to vote in California.

Schiff’s primary residence is a large 3,420-square-foot home in tony Montgomery County. He reportedly maintains a little condo in Burbank, California, as another “primary” residence likely to reduce his tax bill.

It’s questionable whether he even goes there.

Schiff refinanced his Maryland home in 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2013. In 2009, a House Ethics investigation claimed that Schiff did this, and Schiff argued it was an error, and he repaid the exempt taxes to the state of Maryland.

President Trump Now Demands ActBlue and Adam Schiff Be Thrown in Jail — ‘Crooked’ Adam Schiff Responds in Full Panic

President Donald Trump signed a powerful memorandum last week ordering a full federal crackdown on illegal campaign donation practices — specifically targeting the embattled Democrat fundraising platform ActBlue and calling for “crooked” Adam Schiff to be thrown behind bars.

The directive comes amid mounting investigations led by Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI) and 19 state Attorneys General — including officials from Texas, Arkansas, Florida, and Missouri — exposing explosive evidence that ActBlue was complicit in laundering illegal donations, including potentially illicit foreign money, into Democrat campaigns across the country.

The memorandum, as highlighted by The Gateway Pundit, states:

“Federal law (52 U.S.C. 30121 and 30122) strictly prohibits making political contributions in the name of another person, as well as contributions by foreign nationals… Press reports and congressional investigations have uncovered deeply troubling evidence that online fundraising platforms have enabled schemes to launder excessive and prohibited contributions.”

[…]

“These activities undermine the integrity of our electoral process… I direct the Attorney General, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, to use all lawful authority to investigate these allegations and take appropriate actions to enforce the law.”

Investigations have revealed staggering levels of fraud: ActBlue allegedly detected at least 22 significant fraud campaigns, many with a foreign nexus.

A House investigation uncovered 237 donations made using foreign IP addresses and prepaid gift cards during a single 30-day window in 2024 alone.

As The Gateway Pundit first reported, a team led by Peter Bernegger, Chris Gleason, Draza Smith, and supported by James O’Keefe, uncovered “voter mule” operations — with individuals often listed as making hundreds or even thousands of small-dollar donations, sometimes totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars, to Democrat campaigns through ActBlue.

The funds fueled the campaigns of radical leftist candidates like Mark Kelly, Raphael Warnock, and Tammy Baldwin, among many others.
