I see a lot of articles saying how President Trump is attacking law firms in Washington DC because he is vindictive. When in fact, it has nothing to do with being vindictive, and everything to do with the fact that they are acting like an extension of the Democratic Party.
This web shows how elite law firms in DC have become de facto political actors, coordinating with bureaucrats, Democratic campaigns, and activist groups to advance one side’s agenda while insulating allies from legal consequences.

🧵🧵Pam Bondi’s Epstein Dilemma: The Legal Trap Behind the Withheld Files
When former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi was appointed U.S. Attorney General, she promised a new era of transparency especially regarding the long-shrouded Jeffrey Epstein files. With public pressure mounting, Bondi announced that “tens of thousands” of videos and records existed, and that her Justice Department would make them public.
But that promise has quietly unraveled.
Instead of full disclosure, the DOJ has backpedaled. A recent memo claimed no “client list” exists. Bondi has delayed further releases. And the explosive evidence she once suggested was on the verge of public exposure remains sealed, redacted, or buried.
The reason, though unspoken, is now becoming clear(at least to me): Bondi is legally bound to defend the FBI in a civil lawsuit filed by Epstein’s victims and releasing the files could fatally damage that case.
The Florida Lawsuit That Changed Everything
In September 2024, eight women (six listed as “Jane Does,” plus Laura Newman and Sandra Ward) filed a civil suit against the U.S. government. The lawsuit alleges that the FBI received credible tips as early as 1996 about Epstein’s sex trafficking operation and failed to act. That failure, the plaintiffs argue, enabled two more decades of exploitation, abuse, and cover-up.
The suit was originally filed in Washington, D.C., but on June 30, 2025, a federal judge transferred it to the Southern District of Florida (the very heart of Epstein’s criminal empire and the jurisdiction where the FBI’s Miami field office oversaw the controversial 2006 non-prosecution deal).
That transfer wasn’t just procedural it was tactical. And I think that it changed everything.
Why Bondi Can’t Release the Epstein Files Now
1. She’s Legally Obligated to Defend the Government
As Attorney General, Bondi is the federal government’s top lawyer. In this case, the United States is the defendant under the Federal Tort Claims Act. Her job is to defend the FBI and argue that it did not act negligently in handling the Epstein case.
That means her DOJ is responsible for filing:
•Motions to dismiss
•Claims of sovereign immunity
•Arguments that the statute of limitations has expired
Any public release of sensitive documents (emails, surveillance logs, case memos, or footage) could undermine those defenses. If the files confirm that the FBI knew more than it admitted or failed to act on specific tips, the plaintiffs’ case is strengthened and the government’s is fatally weakened.
🧵🧵I don’t like being lied to by the media. I don’t really care if the lies come from the liberal media or the conservative media lies are lies.
One of the biggest lies I’ve heard lately came not from a partisan blog or anonymous source, but during two high-profile interviews: the first between Tucker Carlson and Senator Ted Cruz, and the second between Carlson and the president of Iran, Masoud Pezeshkian.
In both cases, the claim was made that there is “no proof” that Iran tried to assassinate President Donald Trump.
That is a lie. A flat-out, documented, federally indicted lie.
And what’s more infuriating?
Even Biden’s own Department of Justice,an agency that has shown no love for Donald Trump,has confirmed that lie to be false.
In November 2024, Biden’s Department of Justice charged Farhad Shakeri, an Afghan national living in Tehran, with attempting to carry out a murder-for-hire plot. His target? Donald J. Trump.
According to recorded interviews with the FBI, Shakeri said he was personally tasked by an IRGC official to plan Trump’s assassination in October 2024—right before the presidential election. He even admitted the Iranians told him, “We’ve already spent a lot of money, money’s not an issue.”
This wasn’t abstract talk. Shakeri attempted to activate criminal contacts in the U.S. to carry out the plot. Two of them were arrested. And Shakeri himself was charged not just with conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, but with providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization (the IRGC).
That’s not a Fox News chyron. That’s a federal indictment under President Biden’s Department of Justice.
A Second Case Points to Trump as a Target
Just three months earlier, in August 2024, the DOJ charged Asif Raza Merchant, a Pakistani national with ties to Iran, in a separate murder-for-hire plot targeting a high-profile U.S. political figure. Merchant tried to hire hitmen—who turned out to be undercover FBI agents—to carry out an assassination on U.S. soil.
Although the official indictment didn’t name Trump, a leaked intelligence document shared by Sen. Chuck Grassley indicated he was the intended target. Merchant had connections to an Iranian handler, detailed elaborate plans, and admitted to targeting a “political person” in the United States.
🧵 “DemocracyAID” Is the New Shadow Network Working to Undermine Trump from Within
1/A new group is quietly organizing to stop Trump’s second term from the inside.
It’s called DemocracyAID—and it’s not a nonprofit, a think tank, or a PAC.
It’s a covert network of ex-USAID & State Department operatives who are using the color revolution tactics they deployed in Belarus, Venezuela and other places to start a “revolution.”
Apparently all roads lead to USAID. The Daily Caller did an expose on them. The article is linked below after my deep dive.
2/ At the center is Rosarie “Ro” Tucci, former Deputy Director of USAID’s Democracy, Rights & Governance bureau.
She now runs the DRG Center at SID-US and is spearheading an effort to retool fired democracy-aid professionals into domestic political organizers.
“Ro Tucci” mentioned in initial reports, posted on LinkedIn about a group called democracyAid (all lower-case, but context aligns). She wrote:
“democracyAid is working to do something similar! It’s ALL HANDS ON DECK! … protecting and reimaging our democracy”
3/The movement appears to involve ex-USAID and State Department personnel who lost roles when Trump halted ~90% of democracy funding in January 2025.
Many were from Office of Transition Initiatives or similar units supporting elections, civil society, and media worldwide
🚨 THREAD: The Unholy Red-Green Alliance — America’s New Political Party 🧵
1/ A Marxist. An Islamist. And a Chinese propagandist walk into a ballot box.
It’s not a joke.
It’s the Red-Green Alliance, a coordinated, well-funded campaign to replace American institutions with an authoritarian fusion of socialism, Islamism, and foreign control.
Receipts below;
2/đź”´ RED: The DSA (Democratic Socialists of America)
•Largest socialist group in the U.S.
•Builds slates of candidates for school boards, unions, city councils
•Runs massive volunteer ops (50,000+ in NYC alone)
•Uses tools like NGP-VAN & Mobilize
•Messaging: “Justice,” “Housing for All,” “Defund,” “Free Palestine”
But they’re not doing this alone.
3/🟢 GREEN: Muslim Brotherhood-Aligned Orgs (CAIR, SJP, MPAC, ISNA)
•Operating through soft fronts like CAIR & SJP
•Promote Islamist worldviews under civil rights cover
•Target campuses, swing states, and local politics
•Use “Islamophobia” claims to silence critics
•Linked — provably — to Muslim Brotherhood funding
🧵🧵The Unelected President: Neera Tanden, the NGO Cartel, and the Greatest Conflict of Interest in Modern American Politics
On June 24, 2025, the mask finally slipped.
Testifying before Congress behind closed doors, Neera Tanden, a longtime Democratic operative and former president of the far-left think tank Center for American Progress (CAP) she admitted to running the autopen for President Joe Biden. She didn’t just witness the signature process. She oversaw it. In some cases, she was the one signing the President’s name to executive orders and laws.
This wasn’t a technicality. This was a transfer of power. Joe Biden was not acting as President. Neera Tanden was.
And that’s only half the scandal.
Follow the Money: From Washington to the NGO Empire
Before stepping into the West Wing, Tanden spent years at the helm of CAP, where she helped craft a quiet revolution in federal funding strategy:
•Traditionally, federal money flowed to state and local governments, empowering elected officials to implement policy based on local needs.
•Under guidance from CAP and its policy architects including Tanden that model was dismantled.
•In its place? A massive NGO distribution network.
Rather than giving money to mayors, governors, or county agencies, the Biden administration began funneling billions in taxpayer dollars directly to “approved” nonprofit groups, many of which were politically aligned with CAP and other progressive institutions.
These NGOs became the new gatekeepers of public money, funding everything from housing to education to public health. And they weren’t accountable to voters. They were accountable to bureaucrats, often the same people who helped build them.
The Circular Scam: Tanden’s Role on Both Ends
This is where the conflict of interest becomes undeniable and explosive.
•As head of CAP, Tanden helped design the policy architecture that gave preferred NGOs outsized control of federal money.
•Later, as Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, she wielded executive authority over how those policies were implemented.
•Now, in sworn testimony, we learn she also signed the documents via autopen that activated the very programs and funding models her allies stood to profit from.
This is not just a revolving door. It’s a closed loop of power and money.
Neera Tanden wasn’t just advising on policy. She was authoring executive orders, overseeing disbursements, and enabling unaccountable NGOs to control billions of dollars—while holding the pen with Joe Biden’s name on it.
🧵🧵The JCPOA Grift: How the Iran Nuclear Deal Enriched Elites, Empowered Terror, and Sold Out American Interests
When the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was signed in 2015, it was hailed as a landmark diplomatic success. The Obama administration framed it as a nonproliferation victory that would place Iran’s nuclear program in a box while opening the door to a more stable Middle East.
In reality, it became one of the most elaborate geopolitical grifts in modern history.
The JCPOA not only failed to stop Iran’s nuclear program but actively empowered its terror network, enriched a regime that brutalizes its own people, and created a sprawling international influence ecosystem that connected Western elites, think tanks, and multinational corporations to the Iranian economy and its global ambitions.
Billions of dollars flowed through banks, consulting firms, and policy organizations many of which were closely aligned with the architects and defenders of the deal.
The Illusion of Compliance — How Iran Played the West
The JCPOA was built on a false premise: that Iran’s regime could be trusted to comply with international agreements in good faith. Instead, Tehran used the deal to bide time, refine its weapons capabilities, and play a dangerous game of deception with the West.
•Uranium Enrichment: While the JCPOA capped enrichment at 3.67% U-235, Iran retained its infrastructure. By 2020, it was openly enriching to 20%, and by 2022, to 60%—just below weapons-grade. The IAEA has repeatedly warned that Iran now possesses enough fissile material for several nuclear warheads if it chooses to weaponize.
•Advanced Centrifuges: Iran installed and tested next-generation IR-6 and IR-8 centrifuges—far more efficient than older models. These were banned under the deal, but Tehran claimed they were for “research” while spinning them in secret facilities.
•Inspections Loopholes: The JCPOA barred IAEA access to military sites—which were likely to house Iran’s most sensitive research. Iran exploited this gap, denying inspectors entry while sanitizing sites suspected of hosting nuclear weapons experiments.
•The Tehran Nuclear Archive: In 2018, Israel’s Mossad revealed a secret nuclear archive stored in Tehran, confirming Iran had lied about its nuclear weapons program. The documents showed detailed warhead designs, detonation calculations, and ongoing research long after the JCPOA was signed.
These weren’t technical violations. They were strategic betrayals, made possible by a weak deal and willful Western blindness.
Where the Money Went — Terror, Missiles, and Proxy War
The Obama administration released over $100 billion in frozen Iranian assets as part of the JCPOA’s implementation, with assurances that the funds would be used for economic reform and humanitarian needs.
Instead, the regime went on a regional spending spree:
•Hezbollah: Received hundreds of millions in new funding. Expanded rocket arsenals, dug cross-border tunnels into Israel, and increased training facilities in Syria.
•Hamas: Iran resumed funding after a brief freeze. Rebuilt underground tunnel networks, acquired longer-range missiles, and sparked repeated conflicts with Israel.
•Houthis in Yemen: Iran armed them with ballistic missiles and drones. By 2019, they had the capability to strike Saudi oil fields and UAE airports, destabilizing Gulf security.
•Iraqi Shia Militias: Kata’ib Hezbollah and other Iran-backed militias used JCPOA cash to acquire weapons, launch attacks on U.S. bases, and dominate Iraqi politics.
•Syria: Iran’s IRGC and Quds Force used the funds to prop up Bashar al-Assad, leading to 500,000+ dead in the civil war and the use of chemical weapons on civilians.
Meanwhile, Iran’s ballistic missile program accelerated. Despite language in the JCPOA that “called upon” Iran not to test such missiles, Tehran did so multiple times, unveiling missiles with slogans like “Israel must be wiped out.”
