Clinton Judge Blocks DOJ from Searching Comey Media Mole Daniel Richman’s Materials for Classified Information

A federal judge will not allow the Justice Department to search James Comey’s mole Daniel Richman’s data for classified information.

US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, a Clinton appointee, won’t let the feds search Richman’s personal computer hard drive for additional classified information without a search warrant.

Earlier this month, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ordered the DOJ to return all materials it seized from Comey’s media mole a week after she blocked federal prosecutors from accessing key evidence in the criminal case against James Comey.

Comey’s secret media mole, Daniel Richman, recently sought to block the Justice Department from accessing his files as the Trump Administration prepares to hit James Comey with a new indictment.

The feds seized materials from Daniel Richman several years ago, and he asked a judge to block the DOJ from accessing his files.

A grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia indicted former FBI Director James Comey in September. He was indicted on two counts – false statements and obstruction of a congressional proceeding.

The charges are related to Comey’s testimony to Senate investigators in September 2020 about whether he authorized leaks to the media.

Newly released November 2016 emails reveal that James Comey was guiding his media mole, Daniel Richman, and authorized leaks to the media.

Comey’s case was thrown out after a separate Clinton judge dismissed the case based on the Appointments Clause.

Earlier this month, Judge Kollar-Kotelly ordered the DOJ to return all data it seized from Daniel Richman.

Over the weekend, Kollar-Kotelly blocked the DOJ from searching Richman’s materials.

“ORDERED that the Government shall not review Petitioner Richman’s materials for any additional classified material beyond the single classified memorandum from Mr. Comey that was originally contained in Petitioner Richman’s personal computer hard drive without first obtaining a valid search warrant,” Kollar-Kotelly wrote.

Judge Kollar-Kotelly also gave Attorney General Pam Bondi until January 5, 2026, to certify the transfer of Richman’s data.

Tim Walz Forced to Respond to Videos Showing Rampant Somali Fraud in Minnesota. It Was Weak Sauce.

It’s taken social media by storm, and now the Federal Bureau of Investigation is involved. YouTuber Nick Shirley did what no other mainstream outlet would: address the allegation of mass fraud against Somalis in Minnesota. If they did, it was a tepid dive into this story, most of which was geared toward defending this community. Shirley opted to visit some of the supposed childcare centers run by Somalis that are collecting millions in funds but have no children enrolled. It’s not a small operation either. Some of these daycare centers are supposed to have at least 100 kids, but they’re empty, occupied by a television, a couch, and empty space, and by Somalian men who claim the center is full.  

Now, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who President Trump rightly called “seriously retarded,” was forced to respond to these allegations. He must—the Feds are involved, and we should expect raids on these locations, at least I hope so. Walz’s office claims Mr. Happy Hands cracked down hard on fraud. Yeah, you can’t say that when the state seems to be a cesspool of corruption. The state is estimated to have cheated at least $9 billion from taxpayers, thanks to Timmy letting these schemes operate seemingly with impunity.

NY Times Editorial Board Member Has Possibly the Dumbest Take of All on Somali Fraud in Minnesota

Mara Gay of the New York Times is a special kind of stupid. Whenever she is brought on to cable news to comment on an issue, you know you’re in for a hot take.

In this case, she was on Morning Joe, offering her opinion on the Somali fraud scandal that is still unfolding in Minnesota.

She suggested that this was the result of the ‘weaponization’ of government, which doesn’t even make any sense.

Transcript via Real Clear Politics:

JONATHAN LEMIRE: And, Mara, this is a story that’s really gained a lot of traction among conservative media members, among MAGA folks online, including members of the Trump administration. Vice President JD Vance was posting about it the other day. There’s a lot we don’t know here just yet, but it does give off at least a sense—and we’ll see where the facts take us—but at least we can safely say this: it seems like Republicans are eager to be talking about something else amid a lot of the bad news surrounding the president right now.

MARA GAY, NEW YORK TIMES COLUMNIST: Right. Well, sure. These were funds that were meant to help feed hungry people during the COVID pandemic, to help keep people in their homes who were at risk of homelessness. So, first of all, if there is fraud there, that should be fully investigated—no matter where it is, whether it’s in a Democratic-led state or a Republican-led state. Absolutely, it should be investigated.

The question is, why is this a priority in a different kind of way? The politicization of the DOJ and the FBI is undeniable. So whether they are reliable narrators is the big question. This is what happens when you weaponize and politicize federal agencies that are not meant to be politicized.

I think the American people are right to ask the question: can we trust you? And that’s a sad thing to say as an American.

Bombshell Resurfaced Video Shows Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz Admitting He Knew About Somali Fraud Scandal But Failed to Keep Taxpayers Informed

Earlier this month, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz openly confessed that his administration should have been more transparent with taxpayers about the massive Somali-linked fraud schemes that have plagued state programs, potentially costing billions in federal funds.

The video, which has gone viral on social media in the wake of Nick Shirley’s bombshell reporting on Somali daycare centers, shows Walz admitting to knowing about the ongoing fraud during a press conference on December 12.

Standing before the American and Minnesota flags in the Capitol rotunda, Walz addressed the media about ongoing investigations into fraud in multiple state-run programs, including child nutrition initiatives like Feeding Our Future, autism services, and other social welfare programs.

In the clip, Walz states:

“I think what the president did was elevate it. Uh, I do believe and I will fully own this we should have been keeping Minnesotans more up to speed on what was happening.”

Tim Walz Lashes Out Blaming “White Supremacy” After Massive Minnesota Somali Fraud Exposed

A viral investigation into alleged misuse of Minnesota state funds has ignited a fierce public feud between Governor Tim Walz and independent journalist Nick Shirley, culminating in a heated exchange of accusations over the weekend.

Shirley’s 42-minute video report, which garnered over 100 million views on X, purportedly showed multiple state-funded daycare centers — receiving millions in taxpayer dollars — appearing closed or inactive during business hours.

In the wake of the report’s release, Governor Walz faced intense backlash after appearing to dismiss the findings on X, writing, “This is what happens when they scapegoat and this is what happens when they no longer hide the idea of white supremacy.”

Critics immediately seized on the Governor’s comment, accusing him of using racially charged language to deflect from legitimate questions regarding the stewardship of public funds.

On Sunday, Shirley appeared on Fox News to directly address the Governor’s characterization, rejecting the “white supremacist” label as a political tactic used to silence dissent.

“If you have 100,000 people that will vote for you because you’re going to enable this stuff… and you’re going to call a white person racist for calling out facts, this is what’s going to happen,” Shirley told the host.

He further ridiculed the state’s oversight during the segment, remarking that the alleged fraud was “so obvious a kindergartner could figure it out.”

Meanwhile, Governor Walz’s office issued a formal statement responding to the allegations, asserting that his administration has “worked for years to crack down on fraud” and has already launched investigations into the specific facilities highlighted in the video.

The spokesperson emphasized that the administration has strengthened oversight mechanisms and previously closed one of the centers featured in Shirley’s report.

Despite the administration’s defense, the controversy continues to escalate, with federal authorities now signaling they are deploying additional resources to investigate the scope of the alleged fraud.

Could Republicans Gain a U.S. House Seat Because of Texas Democrat Fraud?

Historically, South Texas has been shaped by entrenched political machines, most notably the one built by Lyndon B. Johnson, who advanced by aligning with local Democrat bosses, leveraging federal patronage, and mobilizing Mexican American voters through New Deal–era programs. 

The region became a Democrat stronghold defined by infrastructure spending and centralized political control, with county officials often acting as power brokers rather than neutral administrators. 

That system was epitomized by George B. Parr, the Duval County boss who delivered Johnson his first major electoral victories and demonstrated how county-level authority could shape statewide outcomes. 

The legacy of that model continues to influence South Texas politics, particularly when modern election disputes arise from the same institutional culture.

In fact, every major failure in American election administration begins long before voters submit ballots. Collapse starts when officials charged with enforcing election law treat statutory requirements as discretionary rather than mandatory.

Once that shift occurs, the legal framework designed to safeguard transparency and the republic itself ceases to function as law. Instead, it becomes a set of procedures that can be delayed, reinterpreted, or quietly ignored.

President Donald Trump’s pardon of Democrat Rep. Henry Cuellar and his wife addressed a politically motivated Biden Justice Department prosecution. 

Separately, an unresolved issue remains in South Texas: a congressional election marked by statutory violations, conflicting directives, and institutional resistance that prevented a full accounting of what occurred in Texas’s 28th Congressional District.

Texas’s 28th District occupies an unusually sensitive position along the southern border. Centered on Laredo, the district encompasses Port Laredo, which processes roughly 45% of all U.S.–Mexico trade and oversees more than 260 miles of the U.S.–Mexico border. 

Political behavior in the region has shifted rapidly in recent election cycles, mainly driven by dissatisfaction with border enforcement and illegal immigration under the Biden administration.

In 2020, President Trump lost the district by five points. In 2024, he carried the same district by approximately seven points. 

This shift occurred despite post-2020 redistricting changes expected to benefit Democrats. Under the new lines, Trump’s 2020 performance would have translated into a loss of roughly seven points.

Over four years, the district moved approximately fourteen points toward the Republican presidential nominee.

Despite that result, on the same ballots and using the same voting machines, Rep. Cuellar defeated Republican challenger Jay Furman by approximately five points. A twelve-point divergence between the top of the ticket and a long-serving incumbent does not, on its own, prove misconduct. Voters are free to split their ballots.

However, ticket-splitting in modern federal elections is extremely rare. In 2024, only 16 congressional districts nationwide split their presidential and House results. 

Election law exists precisely to examine outcomes that depart sharply from prevailing voting patterns. In this case, that examination never entirely occurred.

Far-left billionaire George Soros and family donated $71,000 to Trump-hating NY AG Letitia James

Far-left billionaire kingmaker George Soros and his family members have poured more than $71,000 into state Attorney General Letitia James’ campaign coffers since 2019 — including $31,000 to help the longtime adversary of President Trump get re-elected next year. 

The contributions include $18,000 from Soros in July 2024 and another $13,000 from his daughter-in-law, Jennifer Soros, in May, records show. Soros and his clan also gave James another $40,000 dating back to 2019 for previous campaigns.

And the windfall doesn’t even include indirect support James receives through far-left organizations Soros helps bankroll, including millions to the Working Families Party.

Soros’ ultra-woke grant-making network Open Society Foundation has doled out $23.7 million to the WFP since 2016 through its fundraising arm Working Families Organization Inc., and he and his family members showered the New York branch with another $865,000 in direct donations since 2018, records show.

James’ relationship with the WFP is all but unprecedented in New York.

No, Don Jr. Did Not Get a $620 Million Government Loan for Rare Earths

A conspiracy theory being perpetuated by Democrats claims that Donald Trump Jr. owns a rare earth mineral company that received a $620 million loan from the Department of Defense, supposedly representing corruption by the Trump administration. As is often the case with attacks on the current administration, this narrative is false. Here is the truth.

Vulcan Elements, a firm neither owned nor operated by Donald Trump Jr., received a $620 million loan from the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital in November 2025. This is the largest loan ever issued by OSC, which was established in December 2022 under the Biden administration. The loan is part of a broader Pentagon initiative to expand domestic production of rare earth magnets. ReElement Technologies, another firm neither owned nor operated by Donald Trump Jr., received an $80 million loan from OSC as part of the same effort.

Donald Trump Jr.’s involvement is limited and indirect. He is a partner at 1789 Capital, a venture capital firm that made a minority equity investment in Vulcan Elements in August 2025, approximately three months before the Department of Defense loan was announced. That investment was part of Vulcan’s Series A funding round, which raised $65 million and was led by Altimeter Capital, a firm unrelated to Trump Jr. 1789 Capital was one of several investors participating in the round.

So, to recap, Trump Jr. does not own Vulcan Elements, does not run the company, has no direct equity stake in Vulcan Elements based on public records, and does not serve on Vulcan’s board or in any advisory capacity. He does work as a partner at 1789 Capital, participates in investment decisions at the firm, has indirect exposure through 1789’s portfolio, and would benefit financially if 1789’s investments appreciate.

The Pentagon explicitly stated Trump Jr. was not involved in any aspect of the conditional loan commitment discussions. Both Commerce Department and Vulcan officials denied Trump Jr. played any role in securing the loan.

Media reports have characterized Vulcan as being “backed by” Trump Jr.’s firm. This language is used to intentionally misrepresent the relationship by suggesting a primary financial supporter, controlling interest, or main sponsor role. In reality, 1789 Capital was one investor among several, was not the lead investor, holds a minority stake, and has no indication of board seats or operational control.

Breaking U.S. dependence on China for rare earth minerals is explicitly documented as a national security priority across multiple administrations and policy documents. The Biden-era 2024 National Defense Industrial Strategy set a DOD goal to develop a complete mine-to-magnet rare earth supply chain by 2027. Since 2020, DOD has committed over $439 million toward building domestic rare earth supply chains. The Biden Administration issued multiple executive orders and fact sheets identifying rare earth elements as critical for national security and economic prosperity.

China currently controls 60-70% of rare earth mining, 85-90% of processing capacity, and 90-93% of magnet manufacturing. The country also controls 77% of cobalt processing, 92% of rare earth elements processing, and 91% of graphite processing. Rare earths are essential for F-35 fighter jets, Virginia-class and Columbia-class submarines, Tomahawk missiles, radar systems, and smart bombs and guided munitions. Each gas-powered car contains 40 rare earth magnets. Electric vehicles require even more.

Indicted Democrat Judge Seeks Reelection as Texas Vote-Harvesting Case Expands

In Frio County, Texas, a suspended county judge facing multiple felony election-fraud charges has decided to seek reelection—not after exoneration, not after trial, but while under indictment and barred from office without pay. 

The decision is legally permissible, but the implications are far more troubling.

On Dec. 5, Rochelle Lozano Camacho filed paperwork to run again for Frio County judge. 

The filing came just days before the state’s Dec. 8 primary deadline and months before her next court appearance, scheduled for March 12, 2026—nine days after Texas primary voters cast their ballots.

Camacho is currently suspended from office by the State Commission on Judicial Conduct following her May 2025 arrest in one of the most expansive vote-harvesting prosecutions in recent Texas history. 

According to indictments returned by a Frio County grand jury, Camacho faces three felony counts of vote harvesting, stemming from a two-year investigation led by the office of Ken Paxton.

The suspension order is unambiguous. 

Camacho is barred from exercising judicial authority and is receiving no compensation until her criminal case is resolved, dismissed, or reconsidered by the commission. 

Yet under Texas election law, suspension does not prohibit a candidate from seeking reelection. Camacho has chosen to exploit that gap.

Indicted Democrat Gets Dragged For Post Hiding $100k Ring Bought With Dirty Money

Democrat Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (FL-20) sparked controversy on social media Christmas morning for posting an altered photo disguising her alleged fraud.

In her Christmas post, Cherfilus-McCormick’s portrait had been altered to remove a diamond ring worth more than $100,000, according to the Miami New Times.

The ring Cherfilus-McCormick’s portrait usually shows is reportedly a Tiffany 3.14-carat “Fancy Vivid Yellow Diamond.” She allegedly paid $109,000 for the ring using a cashier’s check.

A federal grand jury indictment revealed that Cherfilus-McCormick used funds she acquired from COVID-19 related FEMA disaster payments in 2021. The indictment claims Cherfilus-McCormick and her brother were overpaid $5 million for a COVID vaccination staffing project. The funds were then for personal benefit, including the diamond ring, or distributed to friends and family. Those individuals then acted as “straw donors” to illegally contribute to her own election campaign.
