SHOCKING: DOJ and FBI Still Have Several Top Positions Filled by Deep State Actors Involved in Arctic Frost, Jan 6, and Russia Collusion Crimes

As the year comes to an end, the DOJ and FBI still have top positions filled by Deep State operatives. 

The reason that the DOJ and FBI are failing is that known key participants in the illicit Russia Collusion, Jan 6, and Arctic Frost Operations are still in power.

Why is Kash Patel keeping around Deep State actors who supported Jack Smith in his targeted spying against conservative politicians and leaders?

Here is what we shared about five current FBI leaders still working at the FBI, as reported by the Oversight Project.

We learned that one of the five dirty cops at the FBI involved in Arctic Frost was removed.

Far-left reporter Ken Dilanian at MSNBC reported on the firing of the FBI Head in San Antonio.

New: Two people familiar with the matter tell @CarolLeonnig and me that FBI Director Kash Patel is forcing out the special agent in charge in San Antonio, whose name appeared in documents recently released by Senate Republicans detailing the “Arctic Frost” investigation into Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Aaron Tapp had been named to the post last year. He is a 22 year FBI veteran who specialized in fraud, financial crimes and cyber, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Fraud ignored: Former Homeland Security investigator reveals how fraud cases weren’t prosecuted

Jeremy Christenson, a former Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agent, joined Liz Collin on her podcast and explained how cases of cash smuggling and fraudulent day care centers were ignored by prosecutors.

Christenson, who worked as a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agent for 16 years, is also a former air marshal and police officer in Minnesota.

Christensen said many of the cases he investigated “went away into thin air.” He had concerns ever since he started investigating cases of fraud in Minnesota some 10 years ago. But with Somali fraud making national headlines, he had to bring what he witnessed as an investigator to light.

Fraudulent day care investigations, back in 2015

Christenson told Collin that “around 2015, a case landed on my desk from my supervisor. He advised me that the state was running a fraud case regarding daycare fraud in Minneapolis through Health and Human Services or Department of Human Services.”

“Over the next several weeks and months, I attended … planning meetings with this task force of about 20 personnel of various law enforcement agencies, the Health and Human Services, BCA, St. Paul PD, Minneapolis PD and it was all revolving around fraudulent daycares,” Christenson said.

“They were setting up sham daycares, fake bills, fake students, or just enrolling students that never came,” he added.

Christenson also pointed out a suspicious detail: “Never — not one of the daycares I served warrants on, not one person was ever present.”

As for evidence, he explained how investigators found “empty buildings, stacks of invoices, and student records of people that our surveillance showed never went there.”

But what happened next has bothered Christenson ever since. He said the investigative task force “all of sudden, it just evaporated — just went away into thin air.”

As for the investigation into the fraudulent day care centers in the Twin Cities, Christenson said he had “no idea whatever happened with the case.”

Trump Calls to Jail Jack Smith After $20K Bribe Revealed

President Donald Trump is once again calling for Biden administration attack dog Jack Smith to go to prison after reports of a hefty bribe Smith paid to an informant.

Unconstitutionally appointed Justice Department (DOJ) Special Counsel Jack Smith spent years engaging in sketchy campaigns to take down Republican politicians before he became particularly infamous for his aggressive legal campaign against Donald Trump. Now that Trump is president again, and as evidence of Smith’s wrongdoing continues to pile up, the president is right to call for accountability and justice against Smith.

“Deranged Jack Smith should be sitting in prison for all that he has done to disgrace our Country!” the president posted on his Truth Social platform today before quoting a Just the News headline: “Jack Smith team approved $20k payment to informant to snitch on Trump team during Arctic Frost case.”

FBI Director Kash Patel provided new documents to Congress, including the information on the confidential human source who received the hefty payout for betraying Donald Trump‘s team. Patel told Just the News Arctic Frost was an “egregious abuse of power and violation of the law.” The FBI, under Smith’s direction, analyzed phone calls from more than 50 White House-issued phones, including Trump’s.

“Congress Is BOUGHT AND PAID FOR!” — Rep. Tim Burchett ERUPTS After 17 “GUTLESS” GOP Members Join Democrats to Hand BILLIONS to Big Insurance Under Obamacare

During a fiery appearance on The Matt Gaetz Show, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) unleashed a blistering indictment of Washington corruption.

The latest betrayal comes as 17 “gutless” House Republicans crossed the aisle to join Democrats in a move that effectively hands billions of taxpayer dollars to massive insurance companies under the umbrella of Obamacare, a system Republicans have campaigned on repealing for over a decade.

On Thursday, the House of Representatives voted 230 to 196 to extend expired Obamacare subsidies for three years.

17 defiant Republicans joined the Democrats and voted in favor of the three-year extension.

  • Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA)
  • Mike Lawler (R-NY)
  • Rob Bresnahan (R-PA)
  • Ryan Mackenzie (R-PA)
  • Mike Carey (R-OH)
  • Monica De La Cruz (R-TX)
  • Andrew Garbarino (R-NY)
  • Will Hurd (R-CO)
  • Dave Joyce (R-OH)
  • Tom Kean Jr. (R-NJ)
  • Nick LaLota (R-NY)
  • Max Miller (R-OH)
  • Zach Nunn (R-IA)
  • Maria Salazar (R-FL)
  • Dave Valadao (R-CA)
  • Derrick Van Orden (R-WI)
  • Rob Wittman (R-VA)

Host Matt Gaetz pressed Burchett on why Congress can’t use reconciliation to cut spending and advance conservative priorities without begging Democrats for permission.

During the interview, Matt Gaetz questioned Burchett on the lack of progress regarding a reconciliation bill that would allow for massive spending cuts, including slashing funds currently flowing to the Taliban. Gaetz noted that while Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) has been pleading for action, the GOP leadership seems content to “beg” Democrat staffers for crumbs.

Former Michigan Democrat Party Treasurer Tracy Kornak Allegedly Caught Embezzling From an 87-Year-Old Brain-Damaged Woman — Why Is AG Dana Nessel Protecting Her?

Former Michigan Democrat Party Treasurer Tracy Kornak has been hauled into probate court this week amid allegations she embezzled substantial funds from an elderly, brain-damaged woman under her legal conservatorship, according to court filings and local reporting.

Kornak, an attorney who served on Michigan’s radical Attorney General Dana Nessel’s own transition team, was appointed as the legal guardian for a woman residing at “The Village of Heather Hills,” an assisted living facility.

Rather than protecting the ward, allegations suggest Kornak used the facility’s sensitive tax information to fraudulently bill an insurance company for nearly $50,000 in “care services” that were never authorized.

The director of the facility, Joe LeBlanc, blew the whistle on the operation, leading to a criminal investigation by the Attorney General’s office.

The Michigan Department of Attorney General’s Financial Crimes and Health Care Fraud divisions investigated the claims.

In 2023, the department announced that no criminal wrongdoing was found, citing a lack of a cooperating complainant and unsubstantiated claims.

In July 2025, the Michigan House Oversight Committee authorized subpoenas for records related to the Attorney General’s investigation into Kornak.

However, bombshell records obtained through FOIA requests tell a different story.

The AG’s office supposedly set up an “ethical firewall” to prevent Nessel from interfering. Emails reveal that Nessel allegedly shattered that wall, demanding updates on the case and pressuring staff to provide Kornak with documentation to clear her name, according to WHMI.

Charlie LeDuff from Michigan Enjoyer reported on Wednesday:

Traci Kornak, the former treasurer of the Michigan Democratic Party, was hauled into probate court this week, suspected of embezzling from her ward, a brain-damaged elderly woman.

[…]

The old woman died last April, and now the judge wants to know what happened to her money. Her condominium? Her insurance settlement from the car accident? Her trust? Her estate plan? Who made debit card purchases on the day of her death?

[…]

What began as a story about a simple insurance scam perpetrated by Kornak in the name of the old woman has morphed into a scandal implicating Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and threatening the impeachment of Dana Nessel.

Kornak was a suspected embezzler, and Whitmer and Nessel knew about the allegations. Nevertheless, they allowed her to continue in her political position as treasurer of the state Democratic Party.

In fact, Whitmer was planning to appoint Kornak to a judgeship as soon as the criminal investigation went away.

[…]

The Kent County Sheriff’s Office has completed its own two-year investigation into Kornak’s stewardship of the old woman’s financial affairs. Among its recommendations are charges of felony embezzlement, which carries a 20-year prison term. That report now sits on the desk of Chris Becker, the Kent County prosecutor, who is considering charges.

Most nauseating about this whole affair—beyond the alleged abuse of an elder who could not fend for herself —is that those in power knew all along. I called them. I shouted questions at them. I mocked them online, in print, and on TV.

Prosecutor Calls Newsom ‘King Of Fraud’ For Oversight Failures

U.S. First Assistant Attorney Bill Essayli Thursday called California Gov. Gavin Newsom “the king of fraud,” accusing him of a lack of oversight on spending to address homelessness.

Essayli made the comments on the “Fox and Friends” telecast, during which he discussed the federal fraud charges that were filed in October against real estate executives Steven Taylor and Cody Holmes for allegedly misusing grant money meant for homeless housing.

Holmes, 31, of Beverly Hills was charged with mail fraud charge that was allegedly linked to millions of dollars in grant money that the state paid Shangri-La Industries to purchase, build and operate homeless housing in Thousand Oaks, just north of Los Angeles. Holmes was Shangri-La’s chief financial officer.

Taylor, 44, of Brentwood, was charged with seven counts of bank fraud, one count of aggravated identity theft and one count of money laundering.

Essayli Thursday said the charges are the “tip of the iceberg” in an investigation he launched with a task force in April. He said more charges would be coming, probably later this month.

The state spent $24 billion in the last five years to address homelessness and can’t account for where the money went, Essayli said on “Fox and Friends.”

President Donald Trump on Tuesday on X said,  “California, under Governor Gavin Newscum, is more corrupt than Minnesota, if that’s possible??? The Fraud investigation of California has begun.”

Newsom’s press office fired back on X. It called Trump a liar and noted Newsom has “BLOCKED $125 billion in fraud, arrested criminal parasites leaching off of taxpayers, and protected taxpayers from the exact kind of scam artists Trump celebrates, excuses, and pardons.”

The Center Square reached out Thursday afternoon to the governor’s office, but did not get a response.

When The Center Square asked the White House Thursday about Newsom, the press office pointed to Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s comments during a press briefing on Wednesday. Leavitt told reporters that Trump has directed all agencies to look at federal spending programs “in not just Minnesota, but also in the state of California, to identify fraud and to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law, all those who have committed it.”

The Real Reason the Economy Feels Rigged

A 45% higher chance of death—just for picking the wrong hospital.

That’s not a typo.

If you undergo surgery at a private equity–owned facility, your risk of dying from complications skyrockets—and almost no one is talking about it.

It’s one of the most horrifying stats you’ll hear this year.

And it’s only the beginning.

2026 kicked off with a flood of bankruptcies. At the center isn’t a broken system—it’s a system built to break things.

Private equity is profiting from collapse. Businesses are being gutted, jobs are vanishing, and the public is left picking up the pieces.

Tiffany Cianci is sounding the alarm: the private equity bubble is about to burst, and your retirement may already be exposed.

While these firms quietly cash out, they’re also selling you “solutions.” Like 401k plans riddled with loopholes—marketed as safety nets, but designed to benefit Wall Street.

What’s being sold as protection for the middle class might actually be a trap.

Tiffany joins us to expose what’s really happening and what you can still do to protect yourself before it’s too late.

You’ll never look at the economy—or your retirement—the same way again after watching this interview.

James Comer Slams Pam Bondi DOJ After Viral Chart Shows ZERO Arrests — DOJ Still Sitting on Biden Autopen Pardons Trump Says Are Null and Void

The American people are demanding accountability, but the Department of Justice under Pam Bondi is still dragging its feet.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is publicly blasting the Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi after investigative reporter Catherine Herridge highlighted a viral chart circulating on X that exposes a jaw-dropping lack of accountability — zero arrests tied to some of the biggest political scandals of the last decade.

The chart lays out a long list of scandals that dominated headlines for years, from the Russia collusion narrative and Benghazi to election fraud and the Biden autopen scandal, and they all share the same outcome: zero arrests.

Federal prosecutors launch new probe into NY AG Letitia James involving campaign payments to longtime hairdresser: report

Federal prosecutors have opened a new probe into New York state Attorney General Letitia James, connected to past campaign payments to her longtime hairdresser, who was indicted in Louisiana last month on bank fraud charges.

Investigators are looking into a total of $36,000 that James’ campaign paid Iyesata Marsh, owner of a Brooklyn hair salon and an event manager, between May 2018 and February 2019 during the AG’s successful re-election bid, according to sources and reports.

Roughly $22,000 of the payments were for using Marsh’s studio as a campaign office for the last four months of James’ campaign, according to a past Wall Street Journal report.

People familiar with the probe told the New York Times — which first reported the new investigation, along with CBS News — that prosecutors want to talk with Marsh about past financial transactions involving James and her campaign.

The probe, which is in its early stages, according to the Times, comes as other efforts by the Department of Justice to secure an indictment against James for a separate mortgage fraud allegation failed to stick.

Marsh, of Queens, was indicted by Louisiana federal prosecutors last month on charges of bank fraud and aggravated identity theft tied to the purchase of a Land Rover, according to court documents.

BUSTED: Ilhan Omar Caught Trying to Funnel $1M to a “Substance Abuse Clinic” Operating Out of a Restaurant Run by Three People at the Same Address — GOP TORPEDOES the Earmark

Another Minnesota money pipeline just got shut down, and this one leads straight back to Rep. Ilhan Omar.

The funding, which was tucked into a federal spending bill, was purportedly destined for a “substance abuse clinic” in Omar’s home state of Minnesota.

However, a shocking investigation led by Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) revealed that the “clinic” was anything but legitimate.

During an interview on Fox Business, Senator Ernst detailed the absolute absurdity of the proposal, describing a trail of red flags that would make any honest taxpayer’s blood boil.

“What I uncovered the other day, in one of our spending bills making its way through Congress, was a $1 million earmark from Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota.

“This earmark was supposedly going to a substance abuse clinic, which actually happened to be housed in a restaurant and run by three individuals who share the same residential address, according to their IRS paperwork. Tons of red flags.

“So this is what we saw with the fraud involving the daycare centers. Now we see other earmarks coming directly from members of Congress where it seems fraud is being perpetrated as well.

“I raised the issue, and fortunately, the House has now stripped that earmark out of that spending bill. But again, this is how easy money has been flowing to bad actors in Minnesota.”
