Trump’s attorneys tonight in classified docs case file bombshell motion for discovery—again insists Special Counsel Jack Smith is concealing evidence including voluminous records demonstrating collaboration btw Biden White House, NARA, DOJ, FBI, and intel agencies:
Joined by attorneys representing his 2 co-defendants, Team Trump again asks for records related to Biden’s DOE attempting to retroactively remove Trump’s security clearance AFTER Smith’s indictment.
Dirty isn’t even the word for these prosecutors and judges.
Keep in mind the chief judge overseeing the illicit use of a DC grand jury for a FLA investigation was Beryl Howell, who just got her ass handed to her by 4 appellate judges on Trump Twitter search.
Oh and the little story about how the totally not political archivists found classified files in the 15 boxes Trump turned over to NARA and send criminal referral to FBI?
Ya that isn’t true, either. In the works for months beforehand btw Biden WH and NARA…

Hearing underway now before Judge Jia Cobb in DC related to Lisa Cook's lawsuit against the president and Fed chief Jerome Powell over her firing as a member of the Federal Reserve Board.
Cook, appointed by Biden in 2022 and confirmed by the Senate with a tie-breaking vote cast by Kamala Harris, is being credibly accused of mortgage fraud related to three separate mortgages (!) she took out in 2021.
She is fighting her firing claiming the loan applications were filed prior to her appointment to the Fed board and that the president didn't follow the law in removing her. She wants Judge Cobb to enter a temp restraining order to keep her on the board.
Cobb starts hearing by asking Cook atty whether they intend to file a motion for a preliminary injunction (usually the next step after request for a temp restraining order). Attorney--I believe Abbe Lowell is speaking but hard to tell--says yes. Cobb says she is prepared to set an "expedited" briefing schedule to determine the merits of the case.
He keeps referring to Cook as "governor" 🙄
DOJ says they don't object to converting TRO motion to motion for prelim injunction.
Here is Cook's proposed TRO order for Judge Cobb to consider:
Cook atty attempting to dismiss allegations of mortgage fraud and those allegations do not represent "cause" needed to justify removal.
Cook atty raises Humphrey's Executor case--one that keep coming up in nearly all the lawsuits against the president related to firings/dismissals--that "cause" needs to be specific.
Judge Cobb asks for citation to back up Cook's claims any malfeasance prior to appointment cannot represent "cause" for firing. Cook atty doesn't have one and doesn't really rule it out but ponders whether the allegations were known at time of confirmation.
Cobb: "Where do I get the authority for that?" She's asking for case law to support his position that past behavior does not represent "cause."
So J6 celeb cop Danny Hodges is back doing media hits blasting Trump adm for trying to keep DC safe. Hodges is still a DC police officer but appears to have done little else over a four year period besides do interviews and show up at J6 court proceedings as a witness and “victim.”
Here is how Hodges once again misrepresents his experience on January 6. But he was not a victim…
Here is Hodges body worn camera footage. He and his fellow DC cops arrived around 2pm dressed like storm troopers ready to crack heads. This was about 50 minutes after cops had been attacking Trump supporters outside.
Listen to the reaction…
More from Hodges—whose checkered shirt nice guy soft spoken routine belies the thuggery he demonstrated on Jan 6…
While all eyes focus on Comey/Brennan/Clapper related to new disclosures on Russiagate and potential criminal liability, let's not forget lesser known figures who are just as culpable in the decade-long abuse of power against President Trump.
One individual is Lisa Monaco...
Here is part one of my two part series covering Monaco's dirty fingerprints stretching from Russiagate to Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation.
It is not a coincidence Pres Trump's called out Monaco twice by name last month...
According to responses to Judicial Watch FOIA on infamous Jan 5, 2017 White House meeting with Obama, Brennan, Comey, Clapper, and Biden--Monaco also attended.
In fact, she kept notes in a notebook from Jan 3 to Jan 20, 2017. Those entries are under seal. Hopefully not for long
So the latest spin against Tulsi Gabbard's release is AKSHULLY NO ONE SAID THE RUSSIANS HACKED ELECTION SYSTEMS AND CHANGED VOTES
But that is EXACTLY what everyone from Pres Obama down--including the media--intimated. So did Brennan's ICA regardless of how he wants to worm out of it.
Further, another reason why this Dec 8 PBD was pulled is because Trump, as president-elect-would have received it.
Following the Dec 9 in the WH after the president's daily briefing was pulled and the conspirators plotted their next move, James Clapper's office produced this outline "per the President's request" on Russian election interference.
Top item: HACKING
Another item: CYBER ACTIVITY AGAINST VOTING SYSTEMS
This is directly from ICA.
Note the sleight of hand. And why would this only be attributed to DHS? Why not a stronger statement given the IC's conclusion the previous month?
This left the door open for Obama, his toadies, and the media to beat the drum about "Russian hacking."
NEW: Tulsi Gabbard just released previously classified Russigate docs including emails and other records giving new info on how the operation materialized
More subterfuge related to alleged Russia hacking of DNC email system. Recall Shawn Henry, CEO of Crowdstrike, the cyber firm hired to allegedly investigate the hack, finally admitted to Congress in 2017 that the firm never had evidence of Russian infiltration.
Wow.
Dec. 8, 2016: "IC officials discuss the draft PDB [presidential daily briefing] which finds that 'Russian and criminal actors did not impact recent US election results by conducting malicious cyber activities against election infrastructure.'
The group also decides the PDB will be published the following day, due to 'high administration interest.'
A few hours later, after initially coauthoring the PDB, the FBI (led by FBI Director James Comey) inexplicably withdraws from coordinating on the product and notifies other IC officials that the FBI will be drafting a dissent.
Later in the afternoon, a senior PDB official kills the PDB 'based on some new guidance.'
"The post election PDB, which once again assessed that Russia did not hack the election, was never published."
Meeting with all the Russigate perps held in the White House the following day.
