REVEALED: Top Biden DOJ Official Warned White House Lawyer That Mar-a-Lago Raid Was Likely Illegal: Memo

Merrick Garland’s top advisor fired off a warning to administration lawyers after Biden’s FBI raided Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in August 2022.

Patty Stemler, a longtime DOJ official chosen by Merrick Garland to consult on lawfare cases against Trump, fired off an email warning about the legal issues arising from the raid on Mar-a-Lago.

The FBI found no probable cause to raid Mar-a-Lago in August 2022, but Biden’s DOJ sent machine-gun-toting agents to Trump’s Florida home anyway.

Biden’s FBI raided Mar-a-Lago in 2022 and seized boxes of records from Trump’s Florida estate.

More than 3 dozen machine-gun-toting agents descended on Mar-a-Lago in August 2022, and by November, Biden’s DOJ appointed a special counsel to investigate the documents stored at the Florida residence.

The raid came after the National Archives (NARA) visited Mar-a-Lago in early 2022 and demanded documents from Trump.

Court documents revealed that Biden’s FBI authorized the use of deadly force during their raid on Mar-a-Lago, which was authorized by US Attorney General Merrick Garland.

New website unmasks the VAERS safety data exposed by Senator Johnson

There are only two things you need to know about the documents released by Senator Johnson relating to the VAERS safety signals:

  1. The safety signals were real and serious
  2. The people at the FDA and CDC ignored them

You have to realize that on all these emails, they ALL knew it would be subject to FOIA. So they can’t write “she’s right, but we need to silence her.” They all are aware that the conversations are being recorded.

There is now a new website that organizes all the data.

This took just 4 days to create by one person, Marjorie Roswell. It is absolutely amazing.

Federal Watchdog: At Parole Pipeline’s Peak, Biden’s DHS Released Almost 9-in-10 Migrants Arriving at Border

Former President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS), led by then-Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, released nearly 90 percent of migrants arriving at the southern border into the United States with parole at the program’s peak, a federal watchdog reveals.

A report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the independent agency that works on behalf of Congress, reveals the extent to which Biden and Mayorkas carried out an expansive catch and release policy at the U.S.-Mexico border from early 2021 until Jan. 20, 2025.

In particular, the GAO report probed Biden and Mayorkas’s parole pipeline which was used to justify the release of millions of migrants into American communities. Prior to 2021, parole authority had been sparingly used by administrations.

With the implementation of so-called “humanitarian parole,” Biden and Mayorkas blew the lid off executive parole authority, the GAO report details.

“Specifically, our analysis showed that OFO and Border Patrol granted relatively few paroles during fiscal years 2019 and 2020,” the GAO report states:

During this time period the proportion of southwest border encounters resulting in parole ranged from about 3 percent to 28 percent. The number of paroles granted increased beginning in the summer of 2021 and peaked in December 2022, when 89 percent of encounters resulted in parole. Paroles granted declined substantially after December 2022 and again after January 2025.

In addition, the GAO report suggests that Biden and Mayorkas so overwhelmed the nation’s immigration enforcement system that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents today are struggling to locate parole migrants.

“… without readily accessible information about noncitizens’ parole status, ICE does not have the information it needs to identify and monitor these noncitizens, or to take enforcement action, as appropriate,” the GAO report states.

Though the Biden administration is gone, some of its key players in its immigration agenda are back lobbying elected Democrats to commit to reimposing such border policies if they win back Congress in the midterms and the White House in 2028.

Claire Trickler-McNulty, a former DHS bureaucrat under Biden who also worked in the Obama administration and for a couple of years in President Donald Trump’s first term, recently received a glowing profile in The Seattle Times regarding her new podcast venture.

During her tenure under Biden, Trickler-McNulty sought to create a program that would see millions of illegal aliens merely check in annually to ICE agents, turning the nation’s borders into a European-style checkpoint. Most of those check-ins would not be in-person, but rather done electronically.

California Dem Governor Candidate Xavier Becerra Wants Free Healthcare for Illegals, Boasts About Jobs They Take From Americans

Xavier Becerra, the former Obama Biden lackey who is running for governor of California as a Democrat, wants the state to continue to provide free healthcare for illegals. Big surprise, right?

He confirmed this during a recent appearance on CNN.

The remarkable thing about the segment is that he admitted that illegals take jobs away from Americans, not just in farming, but in construction, healthcare and more.

You can tell from the smug look on his face that he thought he was being so clever about this.

Breitbart News reported:

Host Elex Michaelson said that Hilton “says he wants to take the undocumented off of healthcare rolls. Why do you want to keep them on there, and how much is that going to cost the state?”

Becerra answered, “He looks at them as people who don’t have documents. I look at them as hard workers. I look at them as people like my parents. I am the son of immigrants. To me, I want you to build, help me build California. If you’re working hard, I want you to have healthcare. I guess Steve Hilton doesn’t care if they work really hard. He looks at their status, and that’s about it.”

Michaelson then said, “Well, he says that they broke the law. And he says that he immigrated here legally and that spending money to give somebody healthcare is incentivizing bad behavior.”

Becerra responded, “He doesn’t seem to mind that the price of food is a little lower because these are the folks that are picking the crops. He doesn’t seem to mind that the places that you can buy to live in are places that these folks built. He doesn’t seem to mind that they’re the folks that are taking care of probably one of his relatives, probably taking care of his yards. He seems to mind that they don’t have documents, but he doesn’t seem to mind that they do so much of the work in California.”

Ken Paxton’s office offered a child molester ONE day in jail and NO sex offender registration. Donald Trump endorsed Paxton yesterday.

Adam Hoffman, a 49-year-old Waco attorney, was facing life without parole for the continuous sexual abuse of a young boy. Ken Paxton’s office took the case, sat on it for nearly three years and then offered him a deal to plead guilty to two misdemeanors and serve one day in jail.

That deal was signed off on by the Office of the Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, the man Donald Trump endorsed and called a “true MAGA Warrior”.

Adam Hoffman was originally indicted on first-degree felony continuous sexual abuse of a young child. In Texas, that charge carries a minimum sentence of 25 years and a maximum of life without parole

Hoffman’s first trial ended in June 2025 with a hung jury, seven to five in favor of guilty. The judge declared a mistrial and the case was set for retrial.

The local district attorney in McLennan County had already recused himself, because Hoffman was a fellow Waco lawyer and a member of the same legal community. The case had been handed off to the Texas Attorney General’s office in 2023. By the time of the retrial, Paxton’s office had been running it for two and a half years.

Instead of retrying the case, the Texas Attorney General’s office offered Hoffman a plea deal.

Hoffman would plead guilty to two Class A misdemeanors: indecent assault and displaying harmful material to a minor. He would serve a total of ONE DAY in jail. He would NOT be required to register as a sex offender. His Texas law license would be suspended, but not for life. After 5 years he could reapply for it.

One day in jail, no sex offender registry AND be eligible to practice law again by 2031.

That is the deal the Ken Paxton’s office offered a man who admitted in court to molesting a child.

Husband of Former Scottish PM Sturgeon Pleads Guilty to Embezzling Over $540,000 in Party Funds – Peter Murrell in Custody Pending Sentencing

The former chief executive of SNP used stolen funds to finance his luxurious lifestyle.

Another ‘progressive’ politician has been shown to be pocketing money to advance himself.

The husband of former Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon pleaded guilty today (25) to embezzling more than half a million dollars (400,000 pounds) from the Scottish National Party.

Associated Press reported:

“Peter Murrell, 61, who was remanded into custody in the High Court in Edinburgh after his plea, admitted using party funds to buy a high-priced motorhome, two cars, including a Jaguar, and luxury goods, including Bremont watches and household items that included two toilet seats.

‘By embezzling from the SNP, Peter Murrell was stealing the hopes, the dreams and the aspirations of thousands of people all over Scotland, people who gave what they could over many years in the hope that it would help contribute to a better country’, SNP leader John Swinney told a press conference. ‘I am horrified; I am betrayed’.”

US author and son of Texas politician charged with helping to provide classified information to China

The son of a prominent Texas Republican politician has been swept up in an explosive federal case accusing him of helping funnel sensitive information to China.

Thomas Pauken II, an American author and political commentator who spent years living in China, allegedly acted as a go-between for contacts linked to Beijing dangling cash incentives to influence US policy from inside the federal government.

Pauken is now facing a felony charge alleging he operated on behalf of the Chinese government inside the United States without properly registering with the attorney general.

Federal investigators claim Pauken compiled confidential reports for a Chinese intelligence-linked handler who allegedly told him the material would ultimately be passed up the chain to Chinese President Xi Jinping. 

According to an FBI affidavit filed in federal court, Pauken also delivered electronic devices to another individual seeking work in the Trump administration later offering that same person a lucrative arrangement tied to providing weekly policy-related reports.

The allegations have thrust Pauken, who wrote under the pen name Tom McGregor while working in China, into the center of an increasingly tense standoff between Washington and Beijing over espionage, foreign influence and national security.

Court documents obtained by Politico say Pauken was first confronted by US authorities after returning from China in January 2025. 

But instead of immediately arresting him, investigators allegedly instructed him to continue behaving normally out of concern that abruptly cutting ties could place him in danger from China’s Ministry of State Security.

FBI Special Agent Timothy Healy wrote in the affidavit that Pauken was specifically warned not to alert Chinese officials about his contact with American law enforcement.

Outrage as Indiana police chief is accused of stealing confiscated guns and RESELLING them onto the streets of his crime-ridden city

A small town Indiana police chief has been arrested and charged with allegedly stealing guns from criminal investigations and selling the weapons to a pawn shop.

Earl Mayo, 45, who is the boss of the New Chicago Police Department in Lake County, Indiana, was arrested in Ohio on Friday and is accused of evading arrest.

He has been charged with theft, official misconduct, attempted obstruction of justice and unlawful possession of anabolic steroids.

Mayo, who is also the son of Democrat Lake County Sheriff candidate Jerry Williams, allegedly sold multiple guns to a pawn shop in April 2025, according to court documents obtained by WGN.

The investigation into Mayo began when a prosecutor ran a firearm trace on a handgun associated with a pending 2023 criminal case for a woman accused of unlawfully carrying a handgun with a prior felony conviction.

The trace revealed that the gun was sold at Mega Cash Pawn in Hobart on April 29, 2025, according to the filing.

Investigators alleged that Mayo, who was the arresting officer in the original case, sold the gun to the shop. 

The pawn shop manager allegedly told police that the store had purchased 12 firearms from Mayo for a total of $2,610 in April 2025.

Prosecutors claim that Mayo attempted to get the gun bought back by multiple people.

An officer at the New Chicago Police Department told investigators that Mayo asked him to buy back the gun, and claimed that the chief ordered him to go to his home and retrieve suppressors or suppressed firearms from a safe, according to the filing.

Mayo allegedly told the officer he had ‘things inside his residence that the feds would never find,’ the court document stated.

Mayo, who was appointed chief in 2023, was placed on administrative leave, and Lake County police have taken over policing duties in the town of approximately 2,000 residents.

According to CrimeGrade.org, the crime rate in New Chicago is 36.32 per 1,000 residents. A majority of the crime is property crime and theft, and violent crime is very low.  

Mayo, who also authored a novel called When Lines Are Crossed, is being held for extradition at the Clark County Jail in Ohio.

It is unclear when he will be sent back to Indiana.

His father, who is also an Indiana State Police Major, issued a statement to the Chicago Tribune on Saturday.

Thomas Massie Vows to Read Redacted Names in Epstein Files on House Floor Before Leaving Congress, Says Todd Blanche and Kash Patel “Perjured Themselves”

Rep. Thomas Massie on Sunday said that he plans to read the names of Epstein’s clients on the House Floor before he leaves Congress in January 2027. 

While speaking to Kirsten Welker on NBC’s Meet the Press this morning, Massie vowed to use his speech or debate immunity and read the names. Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution provides that, with the exception of Treason, Felony, or Breach of the Peace, Representatives “shall not be questioned in any other Place,” prosecuted, or sued over “any Speech or Debate in either House.”

Massie previously threatened to name the names of Epstein’s coconspirators in September 2025.

Massie told Welker on Sunday that he will read redacted names from the Epstein Files in the coming weeks and months, adding, “There’s still millions of files they haven’t released.”

“Todd Blanche is violating the law,” he said with reference to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which President Trump signed into law last November, forcing the DOJ to release all files related to the Epstein investigation.

Massie continued, “I don’t think it’s possible to get to convictions with Todd Blanche at the top and with the FBI Director, Kash Patel, at the top because they’ve effectively both perjured themselves by saying that there’s nobody else in the files.”

House Bombshell: JPMorgan, BofA, Morgan Stanley Accused of Helping CCP-Linked Firms Cash In

An investigation carried out by the House of Representatives Select Committee on China has revealed that American banks may have been involved in helping Chinese interests tied to the Chinese Communist Party and the Chinese People’s Liberation Army raise billions of dollars. It is belaboring the obvious that having China raise money on this scale isn’t in the best interests of the United States.

The Committee broke the news first on X.

The post is a lengthy one, but here is a key point:

Just months after @DeptofWar designated Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Ltd. (@catl_official), the world’s largest battery maker, as a “Chinese military company,” JPMorgan and Bank of America moved forward with underwriting its Hong Kong IPO, helping the company raise billions in new capital. According to our investigation, the banks proceeded even after CATL was linked to China’s Military-Civil Fusion strategy and despite evidence connecting the company to entities tied to the PLA, China’s defense-industrial base, and forced labor in Xinjiang. 

The investigation uncovered CATL partnerships and business relationships with blacklisted Chinese defense-linked entities, including @Huawei, NORINCO, CETC, @CSSC_global>, COMAC, @ChinaMobile_X, and @CN_Nuclear_Corp. The report also details CATL’s ownership stake in Wuhu Shipyard, a key builder of Chinese naval vessels and military equipment, as well as research partnerships tied to the PLA’s National University of Defense Technology and China’s nuclear weapons complex.

And:

In a separate transaction, Morgan Stanley sponsored the IPO of Zijin Gold even after its parent company and Xinjiang subsidiaries were added to the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act Entity List. Internal documents showed the firm identified significant sanctions and national security risks and moved forward regardless.

In simple English, American financial institutions are implicated in a financial scheme that may well have raised money for the Chinese military – and for Chinese operations that use forced labor in their operations.
