Josh McKoon Fundraiser Referred To The FBI

The Georgia Record has become aware of contact between multiple sources in Georgia and FBI offices stationed in Georgia.

One such source reports that the FBI has been made aware of circumstances surrounding McKoon’s fundraising dinner held in November 2023.

McKoon is employed as General Counsel for the Technical College System of Georgia, hence he is a State employee.      His LinkedIn account confirms that he has been employed in this role since 2020.

McKoon was elected to Chair the Georgia Republican Party (Now referred to as the “Georgia Republican Party, Inc.”) at the GOP State Convention held in June 2023, approximately 5 months before the aforementioned fundraising dinner.

The promotional announcement for the Dinner shown above indicates the option of paying $5000 to be seated at a table with Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, $3000 to be seated at other tables, or $1000 to attend a reception only.

The FBI was reportedly contacted concerning questions surrounding a current state employee, recently elected to GOP office, raising funds via an event which seems to provide access to himself and/or potentially the Lt. Gov. of Georgia.

Also of note is that Josh McKoon is listed as “Josh McKoon for Georgia” on the promotional announcement.   Many candidates, as they run for office, utilize various descriptions such  as “for Georgia” or “4 Georgia”  during their campaign.

DHS, FBI To “Hunt Down” Swatting “Cowards”

The Department of Homeland Security will “hunt down” leftists responsible for making hoax calls to police resulting in SWAT teams being dispatched to the homes of conservative influencers and journalists according to Secretary Kristi Noem.

“Under President Trump’s leadership, we will not sit idly by as conservative new media and their families are being targeted by false swatting,” Noem said in a statement.

She added that “DHS has the ability to trace phone numbers and track location information. We will use it to hunt these cowards down.”

“This is an attack on our law enforcement and innocent families and we will prosecute it as such,” Noem further vowed.

FBI Director Kash Patel has also stated that the ongoing swatting will not be tolerated. 

“The FBI is aware of this dangerous trend, and my team and I are already taking action to investigate and hold those responsible accountable,” Patel noted.

“This isn’t about politics—weaponizing law enforcement against ANY American is not only morally reprehensible but also endangers lives, including those of our officers. That will not be tolerated,” he further emphasised.

Anti-Trump FBI Agent Caught Red-Handed with Classified Docs, Trying To Flee

In a stunning turn of events, Johnathan Buma, an anti-Trump FBI agent, was arrested on charges of disclosing classified information. Buma, a 15-year veteran of the bureau, was apprehended just as he was about to board an international flight on Monday, according to ABC News. The arrest underscores the deep-seated political bias within certain factions of the FBI, a bias that has been a recurring theme since President Donald Trump’s first administration. Buma’s actions reveal not only a breach of trust but also a troubling pattern of anti-Trump sentiment within the bureau, which has often been downplayed or ignored by the liberal media.

Court documents reveal that Buma printed approximately 130 files from the FBI’s internal network, many of which were marked as confidential. He also shared a draft of a book he was writing about his career in the FBI, which contained sensitive information about the bureau’s investigations into a foreign country’s weapons of mass destruction (WMD) program. This reckless behavior raises serious questions about the integrity of individuals within the FBI who have been vocal critics of President Trump. Buma’s arrest is a stark reminder of the dangers posed by those who prioritize their political agendas over national security.

Buma’s history of anti-Trump sentiment is well-documented. Last year, he told Business Insider that political bias during Trump’s first administration pushed him to become a “whistleblower.” He claimed that the FBI ignored his leads linking Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, to Russian intelligence. “Rudy Giuliani may have been compromised by individuals suspected of being involved in Russian counterintelligence influence operations,” Buma said. “I saw important intelligence information being suppressed.” These allegations, which were never substantiated, were eagerly picked up by the liberal media, which has consistently sought to undermine President Trump and his administration.

Buma also dismissed the Hunter Biden-Burisma scandal and the infamous laptop from hell as part of a disinformation campaign. This narrative, pushed by Buma and echoed by the liberal media, has been thoroughly debunked. The laptop, which contained damning evidence of corruption involving Hunter Biden and his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, was authentic. Yet, the liberal media chose to ignore this, instead promoting the false narrative that it was Russian disinformation. Buma’s arrest exposes the lengths to which some within the FBI and the media have gone to protect the Biden family and discredit President Trump.

The arrest of Johnathan Buma is a victory for those who have long argued that the FBI has been weaponized against President Trump. It also highlights the hypocrisy of the liberal media, which has consistently turned a blind eye to the misconduct of anti-Trump figures while relentlessly attacking the president and his allies. The media’s refusal to hold individuals like Buma accountable for their actions is a clear indication of their bias.

Now We Know Biden’s Role in the FBI’s Witch Hunt Against Trump

The FBI’s relentless witch hunt against Donald Trump has taken yet another bizarre turn. New revelations show the bureau secretly obtained Trump and Pence’s government phones from Biden’s White House in May 2022, as part of their “investigation.”

“The Biden White House turned over government cellphones belonging to President Donald Trump and former Vice President Mike Pence to the FBI in May 2022 as part of a bureau probe into the aftermath of the 2020 election, tying Trump to that investigation without sufficient predication,” Fox News Digital reports. 

According to the report, the FBI did not need a warrant to obtain the government phones, but sources told the outlet that “after acquiring the devices, agents began drafting a search warrant to extract the phones’ data.”

“The Biden White House played right along with the FBI’s ‘gotcha’ scheme against Trump,” a source told Fox News Digital. “Biden’s Office of White House Counsel, under the leadership of Dana Remus and Jonathan Su, gave its blessing and accommodation for the FBI to physically obtain Trump and Pence’s phones in early May 2022. Weeks later, the FBI began drafting a search warrant to extract the phones’ data.”

The phones were obtained and entered as evidence as part of the FBI’s original anti-Trump 2020 election investigation, which eventually was taken over by special counsel Jack Smith. That case was known inside the bureau as “Arctic Frost” and was opened April 13, 2022, by anti-Trump former FBI agent Timothy Thibault.

Thibault, according to whistleblowers, broke protocol and played a critical role in opening and advancing the bureau’s original investigation related to the 2020 election, tying Trump to the probe without sufficient predication. Thibault broke protocol by taking action to open the investigation and involve Trump despite being unauthorized to open criminal investigations in his role. Only special agents have the authority to open criminal investigations.

Thibault vowed to make the investigation “prioritized over all others in the Branch” and, at the time, commented that “it frankly took too long for us to open this (investigation),” according to documents reviewed by Fox News Digital.

You can’t make this stuff up. We now know that Biden’s team was all too happy to help the FBI in its latest partisan crusade.

Whistleblower disclosures reviewed by Fox News Digital reveal an aggressive DOJ and FBI investigation targeting Trump and his allies. The disclosures were provided to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and Senate Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Ron Johnson, who sent them to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel on Thursday.

FBI Investigating “Alarming Rise In ‘Swatting’ Incidents” Targeting Conservative Influencers

FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday responded to a string of ‘swatting’ incidents targeting conservative media figures in recent days, which came on the heels of the Monday morning murder of InfoWars reporter Jamie White.

Multiple conservative content creators, including InfoWars host Chase Geiser, Nick Sotor, Gunther Eagleman, ‘Catturd,’ and Trump impersonator Shawn Farash, have been targeted in swatting incidents, which typically entail fake or prank phone calls to emergency services that trigger an armed response from police officers to a particular address.

“I want to address the alarming rise in ‘swatting’ incidents targeting media figures. The FBI is aware of this dangerous trend, and my team and I are already taking action to investigate and hold those responsible accountable,” Patel wrote on X Friday morning.

On Wednesday, Geiser posted on X that he was “was just swatted again moments ago, just before 2AM,” and that police officers “used a PA system to call me by name and order me to walk out of my house.”

Geiser was swatted twice within a twelve hour period, the first time Tuesday afternoon and again early Wednesday morning just before 2AM. He described the first incident on the Alex Jones Show, noting that he and his family weren’t at home when the police showed up at his house. Geiser said when he met the police in his driveway, they were still receiving  311 messages about his property. “So there was a campaign of swatting my property,” he told Jones.

After the second incident, the Info Wars reporter posted on X that “6 to 8 police officers used a PA system to call me by name and order me to walk out of my house.”

I was handcuffed in the middle of the street, presumably at gunpoint though I couldn’t tell because of the light being shined on my face.

I was then led into the house where my wife was woken up and we were informed that they received a call from someone pretending to be me and threatening to kill my family. –American Greatness

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.
