Judge Rules Trump DOJ Can Retain 2020 Georgia Ballots Seized by FBI

A federal judge has ruled that the Department of Justice can keep possession of the 2020 election ballots seized earlier this year from Fulton County, Georgia, as part of an ongoing federal investigation into alleged irregularities surrounding that election.

This decision comes despite concerns raised about flaws in the process the FBI used to obtain its search warrant, as reported by Breitbart.

U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, issued a 68-page opinion explaining his decision.

He acknowledged that the FBI’s affidavit authorizing the search was not without “shortcomings,” but he stopped short of accusing the agency of acting in “callous disregard” of the county’s rights—a legal threshold that could have compelled him to return the original ballots.

“While the Affidavit was certainly far from perfect, this is not a situation where an officer left out all the facts that might undermine probable cause or where an officer intentionally lied,” Boulee wrote.

In other words, the judge found procedural errors but not enough evidence of misconduct or bad faith to nullify the FBI’s actions.

The ruling represents a notable moment in the ongoing push by federal authorities to investigate what they describe as “electoral improprieties” in the 2020 race.

FBI files reveal reports of ‘four-foot tall’ beings emerging from UFOs

Newly released FBI files have revealed shocking details of mysterious four-foot-tall crewmen exiting a UFO in the 1960s.

The documents, released Friday as part of the Trump administration’s UFO disclosure, detailed how investigators reviewed reports that 1965 marked ‘the year of the greatest number of UFO sightings’ observed by multiple witnesses across the world.

The FBI summarized reports of metallic craft capable of hovering silently, reaching ‘fantastic speeds’ and interfering with electromagnetic equipment.

The files also referenced that wreckage from crashed saucers had been recovered on multiple occasions, including materials described as unknown metals containing microscopic spheres.

But one of the most startling sections involved testimonies of encounters with apparent occupants of the craft.

‘A few witnesses have reported seeing crewmen who had landed from the objects,’ the document stated, describing the beings as ‘three and a half to four feet tall, wearing what appear to be space suits and helmets.’

The FBI records were among hundreds of newly released files, photographs and videos published Friday under President Donald Trump’s long-awaited UFO transparency initiative.

Hundreds of records, photos and videos were uploaded to the Department of War’s website, including NASA mission transcripts, military incident reports and infrared images captured during aerial encounters.

Breaking: FBI Raids Office of Virginia Democrat Behind ‘Ten F—in’ One’ Gerrymander Map

There’s a big story breaking in Virginia this Wednesday morning as reports are surfacing on social media that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is raiding the offices of Democrat Sen. Louise Lucas, who is president pro tempore of the Virginia state senate and the chief architect of the gerrymandered map that could possibly steal four congressional seats currently held by Republicans.

Bill Melugin of Fox News posted on X that the FBI is in the process of raiding Lucas’s Portsmouth office “in connection to a major corruption probe” and noted that federal law enforcement was “serving multiple search warrants, approved by a federal judge, at her office and a next door cannabis dispensary.”

BREAKING: @FoxNews is on scene in Portsmouth, VA where the FBI is raiding the office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L Louise Lucas, a Democrat and close ally of VA Governor Spanberger. Fed law enforcement sources tell FOX this is in connection to a major corruption probe, and the FBI is serving multiple search warrants, approved by a federal judge, at her office and a next door cannabis dispensary. More to come with correspondent @AlexHoganTV, who reports that Lucas just showed up on scene as the FBI searches her office.

In addition to her role in the state Senate, Lucas is well-known for running a cannabis shop in Portsmouth and for her foul-mouthed and low-class tweets.

The Comey Indictment & Free Speech

In 200-plus years of interpreting the free speech clause of the First Amendment, the courts have narrowed and expanded its scope. The Supreme Court employed a particularly narrow approach during much of the last century, through two world wars and then the Red Scare in the 1950s. 

Thankfully, in the 1960s, the Warren Court began a remarkable and thus far unimpeded march toward compelling the government to tolerate open, wide, caustic and even threatening speech.

When crafting the First Amendment with its iconic speech clause — “Congress shall make no law … abridging the freedom of speech” — James Madison insisted that the word “the” precede the word “freedom” so as to make clear the understanding of the drafters and ratifiers that the freedom of speech existed before the government did. This presumption — that speech is pre-political — has a theoretical and a practical application.

Madison’s theoretical application, shared by Thomas Jefferson and articulated by him in the Declaration of Independence — that our rights are endowed within us by our Creator — is that free speech is inherent in our human nature. Hence, it is a natural right that all persons have irrespective of the place or time of their births — or the government’s wishes. 

The practical application is that free speech is vital to popular government. If people fear expressing opinions that might antagonize the government, they will hesitate to speak freely; and then debate over matters of public importance will be minimized rather than be a part of robust deliberative processes out of which many ideas are sifted and challenged.

When the government threatens to punish speech, the threat harms not only the person charged, but it also chills the expressive rights of others. It gives others pause before articulating an opinion that might offend those in power. In recent years, the federal courts have criticized chilling by the government, deferring instead to the open marketplace of ideas.

Speech should rise or fall — be influential or ignored — based on its ability to be accepted in the marketplace of ideas, not on whether it pleases the government.

Until now.

Judge Agrees to Cancel Comey’s Court Appearance in Trump Assassination Post Case

A federal judge on Thursday agreed to cancel James Comey’s scheduled court appearance on May 11 on criminal charges related to his Trump assassination Instagram post.

Comey asked the North Carolina judge to cancel the court appearance since he already appeared in an Alexandria court.

The Justice Department backed Comey’s request.

US District Judge Louise Flanagan, a George W. Bush appointee agreed to cancel Comey’s appearance.

The Hill reported:

A federal judge in North Carolina conditionally agreed to cancel former FBI Director James Comey’s upcoming court appearance on charges of threatening President Trump at his request and with the government’s support.

Comey asked to call off the hearing because he already made an initial appearance in Alexandria, Va., last week over the allegations. He said that federal criminal procedure rules provide “for an initial appearance in the singular.”

U.S. District Judge Louise Flanagan, an appointee of former President George W. Bush, said she would cancel the initial appearance if Comey files a waiver for the hearing in the district by Friday. She said the hearing would proceed as scheduled if no waiver is filed.

In Comey’s initial request, his attorneys said he would be willing to execute any necessary waiver “to give the Court additional comfort if the Court so desires.”

The Justice Department backed the request, according to Comey’s attorneys.

Comey was under arrest at his arraignment in a federal courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, last week.

James Comey posted his threatening ‘8647’ Instagram post last May.

“Cool shell formation on my beach walk,” Comey said.

’86 47′ is a threat to ‘eliminate/kill’ the 47th president.

FBI Raids Virginia Senate Leader’s Office Amid Probe

The FBI executed a search warrant Wednesday morning at the Portsmouth office of Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore Louise Lucas, part of an ongoing federal corruption investigation.

The FBI confirmed it was conducting a court-authorized search warrant in Portsmouth, but did not provide details on the scope or targets of the investigation.

Federal agents were seen at Lucas’s district office on Wednesday morning. Agents also entered a nearby cannabis dispensary identified as The Cannabis Outlet, which she opened in 2021.

Several entrances to the Cannabis Outlet parking lot were blocked by unmarked vehicles with flashing blue lights, as was an entrance to the senator’s office. Agents carried boxes and bags out of the shop’s back door.

“Today’s actions by federal agents are about far more than one state senator; they are about power and who is allowed to use it on behalf of the people,” Lucas said in a Wednesday evening statement. “What we saw fits a clear pattern from this administration: when challenged, they try to intimidate and silence the voices of those who stand up to them.”

FBI Investigates Tennessee Democrat Rep. for Allegedly Operating Fraudulent PAC That Scammed Donors on Behalf of Kamala Harris

A Democrat lawmaker in Tennessee is now under federal investigation in what could become yet another explosive scandal tied to the political fundraising machine of the Left.

According to new reporting, Tennessee State Rep. Torrey Harris (D-Memphis) is being probed by the FBI over allegations involving a potentially fraudulent political action committee (PAC).

The PAC, called WIN TENNESSEE PAC, with Harris serving as treasurer, was promoted aggressively on Harris’s own Facebook page during Kamala’s disastrous 2024 presidential bid, according to Nashville Banner.

The now-defunct website promised donors their money would fund trips to battleground states like North Carolina and Georgia, statewide advertising, and weekly organizing calls. It even claimed physical offices in Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville.

None of it was real.

The website used a fake phone number (123) 456-7890, listed nonexistent field offices, and directed donations to a P.O. Box (later changed to a UPS Store address in Nashville).

A tiny disclaimer buried on the site admitted the PAC was not affiliated with Kamala Harris’s campaign, but that didn’t stop Harris from using her name to solicit cash from unsuspecting donors.

According to a bombshell report from the Nashville Banner citing multiple sources inside Tennessee Democrat politics, the FBI began asking questions about the PAC early in 2026. The probe also reportedly includes Harris’s mysterious personal business ventures.

The PAC never filed required FEC reports on time. It received three separate delinquency letters from the Federal Election Commission between October 2024 and January 2025. Only after the federal investigation was underway did Harris reportedly file, in late March 2026.

SPLC Indictment Shows Partisan Activists Were Running The FBI Domestic Terror Program

The real Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) scandal isn’t just the indictment. The deeper scandal is that the FBI used a highly partisan activist group as an unelected, unvetted intelligence wing of the federal bureaucracy. For years, the bureau didn’t just consult the SPLC. It folded the group’s ideology into its threat assessments and other work products, then used those products to brand Americans as hateful or flag them as potential domestic violent extremists. 

I warned in June 2021 that the Biden administration’s “National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism” provided the blueprint for this institutional capture. Specifically, Pillar 1 of the strategy formalized public-private partnerships and relied on “non-governmental analysis” to identify threats. That framework greenlit a backdoor around the Constitution. By treating the SPLC’s partisan analysis as a substitute for sworn evidence, the government laundered ideological narratives into official federal threat assessments. This shadow intelligence partnership was not an accident. 

The FBI’s Richmond memo, better known as the anti-Catholic memo, showed exactly what that pipeline looked like in practice. The FBI used the SPLC’s analysis to define so-called “radical-traditionalist Catholics” by their opposition to abortion, LGBT ideology, and adherence to traditional family values. Sen Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, revealed that one Richmond analyst produced a slide presentation that equated Catholic beliefs in “[c]onservative family values/roles” with ideas “[c]omparable to Islamist ideology.” 

Despite former FBI Director Christopher Wray’s claim that the anti-Catholic memo was the work of “a single field office” with limited distribution, the records tell a different story. Multiple field offices were involved, the memo was distributed to more than 1,000 agents and employees, and congressional investigators uncovered at least 13 more documents using similar SPLC-driven “anti-Catholic terminology.” Ideological narrative laundering became the FBI’s standard practice.

FBI officials themselves recognized the problem. In an internal FBI email exchange, one official asked, “Is anyone really asking for a product like this?” and complained that “[a]pparently we are at the behest of the SPLC.” Another FBI official admitted the FBI’s “overreliance on the SPLC hate designations is … problematic.”

The declassified Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) confirms that the Biden administration didn’t just tolerate outside ideological input from partisan organizations. It established a formal mechanism to solicit “non-governmental” analysis. Under Action 1.1.1c, the plan directs DHS to: “Develop and implement a mechanism for receiving relevant [domestic terrorism]-related analysis and information from non-governmental experts and share that information appropriately and consistently across the U.S. Government.”

FBI Has Reportedly Launched a Criminal Probe into Fauci’s Bat Virus Mad Scientist Vincent Munster for Smuggling Deadly Pathogen Samples from Africa

The FBI has reportedly launched a criminal investigation into NIH virologist Vincent Munster, one of Anthony Fauci’s top bat coronavirus researchers at the high-security Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, Montana, after he and a colleague were caught smuggling dangerous pathogen samples.

The samples Munster and his colleague were caught with included monkeypox virus, from the Democratic Republic of Congo.

According to an explosive exclusive report from Paul Thacker, Munster and NIH lab scientist Claude Kwe Yinda were stopped during airport security screening upon their return from Africa earlier this year.

Thacker’s report comes a day after White Coat Waste first posted on X that Munster had been removed from the HHS employee directory and was reportedly suspended.

According to the report, authorities discovered a hard-shelled protective case in their luggage containing undeclared human pathogen samples collected from patients.

Monkeypox virus is classified by the Department of Health and Human Services as a “select agent” that poses a severe threat to public safety and requires strict permitting, inactivation, and shipping protocols.

Neither scientist has confirmed whether the samples were properly inactivated.

HHS has referred all questions about the case to the FBI, which is actively investigating.

“We are unable to comment as this is under investigation,” HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon wrote in an email to Thacker. “So we will refer you to the FBI.”

Thacker reports that when he contacted the FBI about the investigation into Munster and his NIH researcher, the FBI press office replied by email, “We decline to comment.”
