House Panel Votes to Subpoena Bill and Hillary Clinton over Alleged Jeffrey Epstein Links

A House Oversight panel subcommittee voted to subpoena Bill and Hillary Clinton for alleged links to convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.

The motion for subpoenas was issued by Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) during a Federal Law Enforcement Subcommittee hearing on Wednesday. No roll call was taken, and the subpoena was approved by a Republican-led panel via voice vote. Per the New York Post:

The Clintons and several former top Justice Department officials – ex-FBI Director James Comey, one-time special counsel Robert Mueller and former attorneys general Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Merrick Garland, Bill Barr, Jeff Sessions and Alberto Gonzales – were included in the list of subpoenas sought by Perry in order to “expand the full committees investigation into Ms. Maxwell.”

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) would need to formally issue the subpoenas to the Clintons and the others for them to be compelled to provide testimony or documents to the panel.

Former President Clinton acknowledged in his 2024 book Citizen: My Life After the White House that he flew aboard Epstein’s private plane, a.k.a. the Lolita Express, as part of his work with the Clinton Global Initiative nonprofit.

“I wish I had never met him,” Clinton wrote, asserting it was “not worth the years of questioning afterward.”

Epstein also visited the White House at least 17 times shortly after Clinton was sworn into office in 1993.

In December 2021, a jury convicted Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors, transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and three counts of conspiracy. She was later sentenced to 20 years in prison.

As Breitbart News reported on Wednesday, the DOJ “filed a motion to have grand jury testimonies relating to convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein unsealed, according to multiple reports.”

“In a motion filed in the United States District Court – Southern District of New York, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche called for the court ‘to release grand jury transcripts associated with’ the indictment referring to Epstein,” said the report.

Putin knew Hillary Clinton had physical, ‘psycho-emotional’ problems — but kept it quiet during 2016 campaign: Gabbard

Russian intelligence obtained damaging information about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s health amid her 2016 presidential campaign — including evidence that she had “psycho-emotional problems” that were being treated with severe sedatives — but Vladimir Putin chose not to release it before that year’s election because he thought the Democrat would win.

The astounding revelations were contained in a Sept. 18, 2020, House Intelligence Committee report that reviewed Russia’s influence on the 2016 contest and was declassified and made public Wednesday by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.

Russia’s foreign intelligence service, the SVR, “possessed DNC communications that Clinton was suffering from ‘intensified psycho-emotional problems, including uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression. and cheerfulness,’” stated the report, which the committee based on 20 interviews with intelligence officers and FBI agents, as well as a review of source material for the 2017 Obama-ordered report on Russian election meddling.

“Clinton was placed on a daily regimen of ‘heavy tranquilizers’ and while afraid of losing, she remained ‘obsessed with a thirst for power.’”

By September 2016, some of those communications showed then-President Barack Obama and Democratic party bosses found the state of Clinton’s health “extraordinarily alarming” and fretted that it could have a “serious negative impact” on her ability to beat Trump that November.

Everyone in the Neighborhood Knew Hillary Was Bats**t Crazy. Now the Intel Confirms It

Every neighborhood has one: the unpredictable one who calls the cops if you park too close to their mailbox, yells at the garbage man for looking at her too long, and glares at the local Girl Scouts as if they’re conducting a home invasion instead of selling cookies. You don’t make eye contact. You certainly don’t walk your dog past her house. And when she starts screaming into the sky at 3 a.m. about how she knows what really happened to JFK Jr., everyone rolls over in bed, sighs, and says, “Well, that’s just her being her.”

For the Clinton White House, that neighbor was Hillary. And for years, the rest of us who dared to say so were labeled conspiracy theorists, misogynists, or right-wing loons. Funny thing, though. This week, the intelligence community handed us a dusty file and said: “Hey, remember that lady with the vase and the tranquilizers? Yeah. Turns out you were right.”

She Didn’t Just Snap

We weren’t supposed to know, but we did.

In his 2016 book, Crisis of Character, retired Secret Service officer Gary Byrne shared inside details of the Clinton White House. His book read like The New York Post’s Page 6. Byrne didn’t consider Hillary a calculating stateswoman. Instead, she was a seething cauldron, acting like a pressure cooker that blew explosive steam.

Bill had the Blue Dress; Hillary had the launch of a vase. She exploded at staff, swore at Bill like a drunken sailor, and once launched a vase across the room in a fit of fury. Her target? Slick Willie ducked out of the way while the vase shattered against the wall. The rest of the staff decided it was a great time to go and check their offices for messages. They cleared the room to let her cool off.

The media reaction? Vapors overcame them as they gasped, “Unverified! Uncorroborated! Byrne is a bitter ex-employee.”

The bastion of calm, cool reportage, CNN, spoke to “experts” who declared, without proof, that Byrne had to be lying because they saw Hillary as a charming, calm person.

You know, nice the way that batsh*t neighbor lady throws rocks at kids and says she’s misunderstood.

Byrne’s account wasn’t a lone description. Many former agents and staffers confirmed her poor behavior, but (of course) only off the record.

They knew that if they were outed telling the truth, they’d end up on the Clintons’ enemies list, living the rest of their lives looking over their shoulder. However, they know. Everybody in the political sphere knew. The rest of us, however, just weren’t allowed to say it.

When You’re Plotting to Overthrow the Government, Don’t Put It in an Email

Today’s whopper of a Russiagate reveal from Intel Director Tulsi Gabbard is like spending 10 years trapped in Alice’s Wonderland, only to wake up and discover that you’re still there.

Gabbard unleashed a 2020 House Intelligence Committee report on Russian interference in our 2016 election, including evidence that then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton suffered “psycho-emotional problems” and that Russian intelligence possessed internal DNC communications describing Clinton’s issues as including “uncontrolled fits of anger, aggression, and even cheerfulness.”

Do you doubt the Russian assessment?

Most people don’t know that cheerfulness is a “psycho-emotional problem,” but then, most people don’t have access to Clinton’s pharmacist. 

I trust that one of my PJ Media colleagues will do the full writeup of the Clinton story, but I’d like to give you a chance to step back and look at the bigger picture — because Wonderland is even weirder than Lewis Carroll imagined. 

With Gabbard’s one big email reveal after another, it’s safe to conclude that not only are Swamp creatures just as conniving as you’d dared to imagine, they’re even stupider than you might have thought.

And Another Thing: Gabbard seems to be on the outs with the Trump administration on Iran policy, and perhaps increasingly on Russia policy, too — as I reported a while back, at least on the Iran angle. But can you imagine anyone else doing the Deep State cleanup job she’s doing right now? She’s a woman scorned by her old party, sure, but more importantly, she’s sharp and fearless, too.

A name you know — I won’t say who — many years ago advised that whenever you need to discuss something important that could be misconstrued by people out to get you, always do it over the phone. Never, they told me, put it in an email or a text message. They warned me never to put anything sensitive in writing — no emails, no texts. Paper trails get people burned. And if what you’re discussing wouldn’t need to be twisted to land you in hot water? All the more reason to keep it off the record.

Heh. 

Going a bit further, anybody who’s ever watched a mobster movie knows that even over the phone, it’s best to speak in code.

FBI failed to probe key thumb drives in Clinton email probe: DOJ watchdog files

The FBI barely glanced at potentially crucial evidence in its investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while secretary of state, according to a portion of a watchdog report made public Monday.

A confidential source gave thumb drives to the FBI that contained State Department data acquired via cyber intrusions — including emails from President Barack Obama and others, according to a declassified appendix to a June 2018 Justice Department inspector general report.

But the feds declined to “comprehensively” analyze those drives due to concerns about individual data caught up in the hack — despite an internal draft memo concluding it was necessary to “assess the national security risks” pertaining to Clinton’s private server use.

“This document shows an extreme lack of effort and due diligence in the FBI’s investigation of former Secretary Clinton’s email usage and mishandling of highly classified information,” said Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) of the appendix.

The report was penned by then-DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who currently holds the same position at the Federal Reserve Board and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

It is unclear whether the FBI has since carried out a more thorough probe of the hard drives since the 2018 watchdog report was released.

Texts and Emails Indicate Hillary Clinton Campaign Directly Coordinated with Obama White House to Launch Trump-Russia Hoax

The Hillary Clinton campaign was directly coordinating with the Obama White House to launch the Trump-Russia hoax in July 2016.

Hillary Clinton unleashed hell on this country when she hatched the ‘Trump-Russia collusion’ plot in 2016 to distract from her email scandal.

Hillary used a bogus dossier and conspired with foreigners and the FBI to spy on Trump’s 2016 campaign and presidency.

In July of 2016, then-FBI special agent Peter Strzok opened a counterintelligence investigation into Trump’s camp dubbed “Crossfire Hurricane” on suspicions (based on no evidence) that the Russians had infiltrated Trump’s circle.

The “electronic communication” (EC) that launched Crossfire Hurricane was written by Peter Strzok and obtained by Judicial Watch as the result of a FOIA lawsuit.

The EC revealed Peter Strzok opened Crossfire Hurricane based on third-hand information that the Russian government “had been seeking prominent members of the Donald Trump campaign in which to engage to prepare for potential post-election relations should Trump be elected U.S. President.”

According to investigative reporter Paul Sperry, there are texts and emails showing Hillary Clinton campaign aides were coordinating with the Obama White House to launch the Trump-Russia hoax in July 2016.

“I’m told there are texts/emails indicating Hillary Clinton campaign aides directly coordinated with the Obama White House, NSC, State Dept and Intelligence Community officials in efforts to dig up dirt tying Donald Trump to Vladimir Putin in July 2016 …developing…” Sperry said.

Ohr Memo Confirms Clinton Team Had Early Knowledge Of Ukrainian Black Ledger

The newly released Nellie Ohr documents from Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, have already made waves for two major reasons. First, they show the FBI concluded Nellie Ohr lied to Congress and then failed to act on it. Second, they revealed an internal FBI “black hole” filing system designed to bury evidence that contradicted or disproved the Donald Trump-Russia narrative, shielding it not just from the public but from the FBI’s own agents.

Yet there’s more. Buried in the release is also confirmation of another key aspect of how the Russiagate smear unfolded, one that has so far escaped much attention: Clinton campaign operative Ohr appears to have had advance knowledge of the so-called “black ledger” operation by Ukrainian officials.

This operation ultimately led to the political downfall of Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort in 2016. This information also provides more evidence that it wasn’t Trump who colluded with foreign powers against domestic opponents — it was Democrats.

While the broad outlines of this connection between the Clinton campaign and Ukraine have been known for some time, the newly released documents reveal the FBI was aware of Ohr’s foreknowledge as early as 2019. That’s when a report on her activities was written — but the FBI took no action.

Notably, this was before the first impeachment of President Trump, which was triggered by his inquiries into corruption in Ukraine. This detail confirms the strong likelihood that the Clinton campaign was more directly involved in the Ukrainian effort to smear Trump than was previously acknowledged.

The American public didn’t learn about the ledger until August 15, 2016, when The New York Times ran a front-page story accusing Manafort of receiving off-the-books cash payments from the Party of Regions, the political party of Ukraine’s deposed president, Viktor Yanukovych. But according to Grassley’s release, Nellie Ohr had already tipped off her husband, Bruce Ohr — then a senior DOJ official — along with two prosecutors from the DOJ’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force, on May 30, 2016.

Even more striking, that alert came a full day before the first known public mention of the ledger in Ukrainian press. That May 31 article, co-authored by anti-Trump activist Serhiy Leshchenko, mentioned the ledger’s existence but made no reference to Manafort or U.S. politics. In congressional testimony, Nellie Ohr later admitted that Leshchenko was one of her sources at Fusion GPS and had passed along information about Manafort.

Leshchenko has been candid about his motives. Speaking to the Financial Times in 2016, he said his goal in publicizing the ledger was to intervene in the U.S. elections to damage Trump, whom he described as a pro-Russian candidate who could destabilize the global order. Notably, Leshchenko now serves as an advisor within Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s inner circle, a disturbing fact considering his history of actively promoting anti-Trump disinformation.

Ohr’s foreknowledge and contact with Leshchenko provide more evidence that the Clinton campaign, through Fusion GPS, was not only behind the fake Steele and Alfa Bank dossiers, but also acted as a conduit between Ukrainian political operatives and U.S. law enforcement. These efforts laundered foreign political propaganda into the DOJ and FBI under the guise of international criminal intelligence.

The ledger’s authenticity has long been in question. Manafort was never charged with receiving the cash payments alleged in the ledger and reported by The New York Times. Shortly after the 2016 election, Ukraine’s former domestic intelligence chief, Valentyn Nalyvaichenko, expressed skepticism, pointing out it was suspicious only one fragment of the ledger had surfaced. “Where is the handwriting analysis?” he asked. “It’s crazy to open an investigation based on this kind of document.”

The orchestration also appears to go back even further. According to former Ukrainian diplomat Andrii Telizhenko, who spoke exclusively to me about the latest Ohr revelations, the operation began with a January 19, 2016 meeting at the White House.

Declassified FBI memo sheds new light on Clinton’s fingerprints, cash on Trump-Russia probe

Anewly declassified FBI memo detailing the findings of its probe into Fusion GPS contractor Nellie Ohr about the veracity of her testimony to Congress delivers new details about the Hillary Clinton campaign’s fingerprints on the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation. The New York Post reported that Ohr, the wife of a former Justice Department official, gave “demonstrably false” testimony to Congress about her involvement in drafting and disseminating the since-debunked dossiers.

The memo was released on Wednesday by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and shows the bureau assessed that Nellie Ohr likely lied to Congress in her testimony about the genesis of the infamous Steele Dossier, her interactions with Justice Department officials, and knowledge of the Trump-Russia probe, known inside the government as “Crossfire Hurricane.” 

Ohr denied knowledge of DOJ probe under oath

Nellie Ohr was a researcher and analyst doing work for Fusion GPS, the opposition research firm hired by Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign to conduct anti-Trump opposition research. That firm eventually hired disgraced British ex-spy Christopher Steele, who produced the infamous Steele Dossier and other fictional material that provided the ostensible basis for Biden’s Justice Department to probe Trump.

Ohr originally told congressional investigators in October 2018, that she had no knowledge of the Justice Department’s investigations into the Trump-Russia connection, but several key facts uncovered by the FBI’s probe could spell trouble. The memo shows that she shared investigative materials from her Fusion GPS work with her husband, Bruce Ohr, who worked at the Justice Department; and that she acknowledged the investigation in her own emails.

The memo also pointed out the textual similarity between her Fusion GPS research and the official investigation, and disclosed a joint meeting with her DOJ-official husband and Christopher Steele. 

Aside from Nellie Ohr’s work for Fusion GPS, which has long been the subject of congressional investigations and media attention, the declassified memo also shows more extensive Clinton campaign fingerprints on the origins of the collision investigation, with Fusion GPS being the coordinating hub of a multipronged effort to spread Russia collusion allegations to the FBI. Politico reported in 2017 that according to unnamed sources, The Democratic National Committee and Marc Elias, a lawyer for Hillary Clinton who represented the DNC and the Clinton campaign and hired Fusion GPS, helped bankroll research that led to the now-infamous dossier.

New Docs Reveal How FBI Insiders Buried Evidence Of Spygate Crimes

Nellie Ohr isn’t a new name in the Russiagate saga, but newly released documents from Sen. Chuck Grassley’s office shatter the fiction that she was just a low-level researcher and reveal her as a key conduit between Clinton operatives, the DOJ, and the FBI. The documents also pull back the curtain on a darker truth: an internal black hole FBI system designed not just to restrict access to sensitive Russiagate documents, but to bury them so completely that even FBI agents tasked with finding them wouldn’t know they existed.

What was already known about Nellie Ohr is that she worked for Fusion GPS — an opposition research firm led by former Wall Street Journal reporters Glenn Simpson and Peter Fritsch — who were hired by the Clinton campaign in April 2016 to manufacture the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. At the same time, her husband, Bruce Ohr, was a senior official at the Department of Justice. It was also known that Nellie Ohr gathered open-source information on various figures, including Trump campaign advisor Carter Page, which was then twisted to fit the collusion narrative. What was not known — until now — is just how deeply involved she was in the Trump-Russia collusion smear, how brazenly she lied to cover it up, and how the FBI actively aided in the cover-up.

According to the newly released document from Sen. Grassley’s office, a previously unseen 43-page FBI analysis from 2019, Nellie Ohr was involved in many aspects of the Russia collusion hoax, including in the drafting of the Steele Dossier. The FBI analysis was initiated after then-Congressman Mark Meadows filed a criminal referral, alleging that Ohr had lied to Congress during her 2018 testimony about her role in producing supposed research that helped trigger the Trump-Russia investigation. Meadows had good reason to be suspicious.

As the analysis concluded, Nellie Ohr repeatedly lied under oath. The FBI found that despite her denials, she contributed directly to the writing of the Steele Dossier. One telling clue was an identical analytical error that appeared both in her research and in the dossier itself. Even more damning, the FBI recovered a deleted “FSB report” from a thumb drive which Fusion owner Simpson had given to Bruce Ohr to give to the FBI in December 2016. That same fictitious report had already appeared as part of the dossier given to the FBI by Steele two months earlier, in October 2016. The FSB report bore all the hallmarks of Nellie Ohr’s work, which likely explains why Simpson, or whoever created the thumb drive, deleted the report just four minutes after uploading it, before eventually giving it to Bruce Ohr to pass to the FBI. What they didn’t realize was that what they tried to hide was still recoverable.

It’s long been suspected that former British intelligence agent turned Clinton operative Christopher Steele’s role wasn’t to generate the dossier’s content himself but to act as a cutout, lending British intelligence credibility to stories manufactured by Fusion GPS operatives and Clinton campaign affiliates. That part of the operation was wildly successful. To this day, many still believe it was Steele who wrote the dossier’s stories, when in reality, he was just the frontman.

After Major Backlash, Hillary Clinton Tries to Walk Back Divisive Memorial Day Weekend Message in Remarks to Media at Chappaqua Parade

Twice-failed presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton tried to walk back her divisive Memorial Day Weekend message in remarks to the press at the annual Chappaqua parade on Monday.

Bill and Hillary Clinton participated in the Chappaqua Memorial Day parade on Monday.

Hillary Clinton told the press that Memorial Day is a day people need to come together and honor our fallen soldiers.

Hillary’s message of unity is much different than her call to liberals to ruin Memorial Day gatherings by bashing Trump to friends at the cookout.

Rather than honoring the US Servicemembers who have made the ultimate sacrifice, Hillary called on her supporters to bash Trump at barbecues and gatherings this weekend.

“I’m giving you a mission for this Memorial Day holiday weekend,” Hillary said on X.

“I want you to talk to two people—friends, neighbors, cookout attendees—about why Trump’s proposed budget would be a disaster for American kids,” she said.

“We owe the next generation every chance, and this isn’t it,” she said.
