Rep. Biggs Seeks FBI Probe Of Democrat Fundraising Platform ‘ActBlue’ Over Foreign Influence, Fraud Claims

GOP Arizona Representative Andy Biggs sent a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel requesting that the FBI investigate ActBlue, the top fundraising arm of the Democrat Party.

In his letter, Biggs (R-Ariz) highlighted how the Treasury Department discovered “hundreds of suspicious transactions with ActBlue, reported by banks” under former Democrat President Joe Biden’s administration.

“In 2024, President Biden’s Treasury Department found hundreds of suspicious transactions with ActBlue reported by banks,” Biggs wrote on Thursday, noting that the platform has been able to raise over “$16 billion for progressive causes since 2004. However, it appears the platform has been used to skirt the integrity of federal campaign finance laws.”

FBI Arrests Three U.S. Service Members for Treason, Allegedly Selling Military Secrets to China

The FBI made a major announcement on Friday, revealing that three U.S. service members have been arrested and charged with treason for allegedly attempting to sell classified military intelligence to agents of the Chinese government. 

Two active-duty U.S. Army soldiers and a former soldier were arrested after they were accused of conspiring to transmit sensitive national defense information to Chinese agents, according to a statement from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). 

The DOJ identified the suspects as Jian Zhao and Li Tian, both active-duty soldiers stationed at Joint Base Lewis-McChord and Ruoyu Duan, a former U.S. Army soldier. The three were accused of conspiring to transmit sensitive national defense information to Chinese agents, endangering U.S. national security.

The indictment alleges that Zhao began planning to sell classified intelligence in July 2024. He is accused of transmitting “SECRET” and “TOP SECRET” materials to individuals connected to China, including sensitive data related to U.S. military capabilities.

DOGE Is Not Elected—Neither Are the IRS, DOJ, or FBI, Yet They Hold Authority

Senator Elizabeth Warren was asked what she’d like to say to Elon Musk and DOGE; her response, which is now going viral on Twitter, was, “Get the hell out of our government. Nobody elected you.”

However, this response is incredibly shortsighted and disingenuous. The overwhelming majority of government positions are not elected. In fact, only the President and Vice President are elected by the entire country. Senators and Representatives are elected by voters in their respective states and districts.

However, beyond these positions, no other officials in the federal government—including those in the IRS, DOJ, and FBI —are elected; they are appointed or hired.

Roughly 4 million federal government employees are not elected. There is no way Senator Elizabeth Warren doesn’t know that, making her position disingenuous. The millions of Democrats and liberals retweeting this and making similarly uninformed statements may genuinely be unaware. However, the congressional representatives pushing this narrative know it is false.

The same crowd is now shouting that Elon Musk “got ahold of classified documents” or “wants to get ahold of classified documents,” but this is nonsense. Musk already holds extremely high-level security clearances due to his work with NASA, SpaceX, and other defense-related projects. His companies have major government contracts with the Department of Defense (DoD), NASA, and the U.S. Space Force, all of which require access to classified information.

Some with a sophomoric understanding of security clearances argue that he only has “need-to-know” access, which is partially true, but there’s no evidence that he has accessed—or is even attempting to access—documents beyond his authorized clearance. His job requires access to a broad range of government data, and there’s no indication that he lacks the necessary clearance for it.

The claim that Musk shouldn’t be allowed to access sensitive data is pure political posturing rather than a genuine security concern. He already has the clearances, and there’s no concrete accusation that he’s accessing anything he shouldn’t.

The other baseless claim these people are making is that Elon Musk should be arrested, deported, or stripped of his citizenship, but this makes no sense for several reasons.

Several Statements in Ray Epps First In-Person FBI Recording From March 2021 Calls Into Question Key Issues From Epps’ Testimony

The Gateway Pundit had obtained, exclusively, a recording of the first-known interview of James “Ray” Epps after the protest at the US Capitol on January 6th, 2021.

The Gateway Pundit’s Alicia Powe has previously reported on some of the discoveries from this recording in a three-part series on The Gateway Pundit (part 1, part 2 and part 3).

The interview was conducted at the office of John Blischak, Epps’ attorney, on March 3, 2021 by Agents Alexander Simms and Rob Kalinowski (sp?).  It was a voluntary interview that followed his January 8th phone call to the FBI regarding his placement on the “Most Wanted” list at #16.

“We Need More People”

The first major discrepancy in Epps’ testimony is something The Gateway Pundit published exclusively after receiving a statement from Ryan Samsel’s co-defendant, James Grant once he was clear of the Department of Justice’s wrath.

Epps, during his interview with the FBI, said that he told Samsel, “That’s not why we’re here…don’t be doing that.”  Grant, and Samsel (following the J6 pardons), confirmed that Epps said “We need more people.”  In fact, it is evident on the YouTube video from that day.

Ironically, according to the New York Times, Ryan Samsel told the FBI in January 2021 that when Epps whispered in his ear shortly before pushing the barricades, “his entire words were ‘Relax, the cops are just doing their job.‘”

The New York Times wrote that they obtained a recording of this interview, however, they did not publish the recording and when asked to review it, they did not respond.

Samsel did acknowledge that he had an informal interview with the FBI on January 30th, 2021, in which they provided him with coffee and a fresh can of Copenhagen Mint, his chew of choice.

During that interview, according to Samsel, the FBI was trying to convince him to confess that Epps was the “voice of reason.”  When Samsel asked what charges he was facing, the agents responded that it was up to him, but he could possibly face conspiracy to murder an officer.

He then immediately requested an attorney, at which time things began to turn.  The Copenhagen-gifting FBI agents became more typical of what we are accustomed to regarding treatment of J6ers.

“Kash Patel and Pam Bondi Will Learn About This… I Suspect Heads Will Roll” — Attorney Ty Clevenger Responds After FBI Refuses to Release Seth Rich Records on March 10

The corrupt FBI has once again refused to release crucial records related to the 2016 murder of Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffer Seth Rich.

Attorney Ty Clevenger, who has been battling for years to obtain these documents, reported that the FBI is stonewalling yet again, refusing to comply with his Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

Rich was murdered in Washington, D.C., in the summer of 2016, shortly before WikiLeaks released the infamous Clinton emails.

On Monday, Clevenger took to X to reveal that the FBI will not be releasing Seth Rich-related records as expected on March 10th. Instead, the corrupt bureau plans to provide only a Vaughn index—a limited document listing withheld files and the reasons for their concealment.

Pam Bondi Announces She Received a ‘TRUCKLOAD’ of Epstein Documents from SDNY After Being Misled by FBI

Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed in a bombshell interview with Sean Hannity on Monday that Kash Patel’s FBI has finally received a truckload of previously withheld Jeffrey Epstein documents from the Southern District of New York (SDNY).

Last Thursday’s so-called “Epstein Files: Phase One” was a colossal disappointment — heavily redacted pages handed over to a select group of MAGA influencers.

Bondi had hyped the release on Fox News with Jesse Watters the night before, promising “flight logs, names, and a lot of information” about Epstein’s depraved criminal network.

Conservatives braced for a bombshell that would finally unmask the elite swamp creatures tied to the notorious pedophile. Instead, they got a dud.

Appearing on Life, Liberty & Levin with Mark Levin, Bondi dropped the hammer: she’d been misled.

“I was assured 120 pages was all there was,” she told Levin. “I kept saying, ‘There has to be more.’ Kash Patel asked the same thing and got the same line. Then a whistleblower tipped me off—SDNY was sitting on thousands of pages.”

The FBI initially handed over only a few hundred pages, far less than expected. However, a whistleblower alerted Bondi that the bulk of the Epstein files were actually sitting in SDNY. Bondi set a firm deadline: Friday at 8 a.m. for all remaining documents to be turned over.

New York FBI Field Office Head Forced Out Days After His Office Was Revealed to Have Been Hiding Thousands of Epstein Documents

There has been a significant shake-up within the FBI as one of its top officials has been forced out.

NBC News reported Monday that James Dennehy, the head of the FBI’s New York office, threw in the towel just days after his office was revealed to have been hiding thousands of Epstein documents.

“Late Friday, I was informed that I needed to put my retirement papers in today, which I just did,” Dennehy wrote in an email obtained by NBC. “I was not given a reason for this decision.”

Two sources confirmed to NBC that Dennehy was given the choice between getting fired or resigning. He chose the latter.

She later announced that a key FBI official involved in withholding these critical documents “will not be working for us anymore.” Was it Dennehy?

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Attorney General Pam Bondi revealed that the FBI was withholding thousands of Epstein files. She ordered the FBI to provide the complete Epstein files by Friday morning, February 28, and directed an immediate investigation into the oversight.

Last Thursday’s much-hyped release of “The Epstein Files: Phase One” fell flat for many Americans hungry for the truth. The 120-page dump, handed over to a select group of MAGA influencers, was a heavily redacted dud—mostly rehashed information previously seen.

Pam Bondi Gives Update on Epstein Files: Claims She Was ‘Assured There Are Only 120 Pages’ — Reveals FBI Official Who Withheld Docs ‘Will Not Be Working for Us Anymore’

After the catastrophic dumpster fire of a release surrounding the long-awaited Jeffrey Epstein files on Thursday, Attorney General Pam Bondi has delivered a scathing update on the deep corruption and obstruction within the FBI regarding these explosive documents.

Bondi, appearing on Fox News’ Life, Liberty & Levin on Thursday, revealed that she had been assured there were only 120 pages of files to release—but a whistleblower has since exposed that the FBI’s New York office is sitting on thousands of undisclosed pages.

Last Thursday’s much-hyped release of “The Epstein Files: Phase One” fell flat for many patriots hungry for the truth.

The 120-page dump, handed over to a select group of MAGA influencers, was a heavily redacted dud—mostly rehashed info we’ve seen before.

Bondi had promised Fox News’ Jesse Watters a day earlier that the documents would include “flight logs, names, and a lot of information” about Epstein’s sick criminal empire.

Kash Patel Releases Statement on Female Agent Accused of Being “Honeypot” in Comey’s 2016 Operation Against Trump

FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday evening released a statement after a female FBI agent was falsely accused of being one of the two “honeypots” from James Comey’s operation to take out Trump in 2016.

Earlier this week, Kash Patel launched an investigation into former Director James Comey’s secret “honeypot” operation involving 2 female undercover agents who targeted President Trump’s 2016 campaign, according to The Washington Times.

Last October it was revealed that according to an FBI whistleblower, former Director James Comey inserted two female agents inside the Trump campaign in 2016.

The Washington Times reported that the female agents were directed to act as “honeypots” and travel with Trump and his staff.

This was an “off-the-books” operation and was separate from Comey and Obama’s Crossfire Hurricane operation (launched in July 2016) that targeted Trump based on false Russian collusion lies.

One of the undercover agents involved in Comey’s operation was transferred to the CIA so she would not be a potential witness.

The other undercover agent was promoted to a high-ranking position at the FBI.

On Friday Kash Patel pushed back after a female FBI agent was falsely accused of being a honeypot.

This US Army Colonel Just Figured Out How to Nail Every FBI Agent Withholding Epstein Files and Make It Stick

Thursday’s confusion surrounding the release of files pertaining to the late accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein left many people exasperated.

In short, the corrupt and tyrannical FBI appears to have ignored direct orders from Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Thursday on the social media platform X, Retired U.S. Army Col. Kurt Schlichter, a senior columnist for Townhall.com, suggested an interesting and plausible solution to Bondi’s problem with insubordination in FBI ranks.

On Wednesday evening, the attorney general told Jesse Watters of Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” that she would likely release Epstein-related files the following day.

That announcement, of course, built substantial anticipation for Thursday’s promised revelation.

On Thursday afternoon, however, Bondi appeared to have botched that revelation when she or someone close to her in President Donald Trump’s administration presented a small group of conservative social media influencers with binders purporting to represent the first phase of the Epstein files release. Photos of those influencers smiling and holding the binders as they stood outside the White House began circulating on X.

When finally made available for public view, the contents of those binders revealed nothing of significance.

Later on Thursday, Bondi released a letter accusing the FBI Field Office in New York of having deceived her. In the letter, addressed to new FBI Director Kash Patel, she demanded delivery of all Epstein-related materials to her office by 8 a.m. EST Friday.

Then, Patel announced on X that the new FBI under his direction would prioritize transparency and accountability.

Finally, on Thursday evening’s episode of his show, Watters reviewed the events of the day and suggested that federal officials in New York, including both the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, might have deliberately ignored Bondi’s order as part of a years-long cover-up motivated by the federal government’s insidious connection to Epstein’s activities.

If so, then Bondi and Patel have their work cut out for them. And Schlichter offered one possible solution.
