1. I'm getting hit with a lot of newly awakened people wondering about AG Pam Bondi; wondering if the stuff from her old days surfacing is accurate.

I will try to encapsulate and provide receipts. The issues with Pam Bondi are much more serious than most understand.

Pam Bondi was the Florida Attorney General during the incident when George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin.

“When I worked with Governor Scott to appoint State Attorney Angela Corey to the case involving Trayvon Martin, I did so with the full confidence that a swift and thorough investigation would be conducted."Image
2. On the evening of February 26, 2012, in Sanford Florida, George Zimmerman fired one shot into the heart of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, fatally killing him.

The Sanford Police lead investigator into the shooting was Chris Serino; the Police Chief was Bill Lee, and the local prosecutor was Norm Wolfinger.

Detective Chris Serino questioned and investigated George Zimmerman, who used a traditional “self-defense” justification for the shooting.  Eventually the case went to trial and the same “self-defense” justification was used in court.  Despite what you might have heard in the media, it was never a “stand your ground” defense.  It simply was not needed.

In addition to questioning Zimmerman, Serino documented two eye-witnesses to the shooting.  One woman in an apartment who saw the initial encounter between Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman, and another eye-witness, a man in an adjacent apartment who saw and partially recorded, the entire confrontation as it unfolded on the pathway approximately 20 feet from him.

The second witness called 911 and described in real time what he was seeing.  Trayvon was straddling George in an “MMA style” position and slamming Zimmerman’s head into the sidewalk.  During the 911 recording you can hear Zimmerman calling out, “help me; somebody help me.” [NOTE: Both of those witnesses as well as the recording were later buried but came out at trial.]

After a thorough investigation, all of the statements by George Zimmerman were corroborated by the eye-witnesses, the forensic evidence, the audio recording, and all the physical evidence found at the scene.  Detective Chris Serino gave his investigative report to Police Chief Lee along with the recommendation that Zimmerman’s claim of self-defense was valid and justified.  Serino and Lee then consulted with prosecutor Norm Wolfinger who reviewed the evidence and agreed.Image
3. Trayvon's father, Tracy Martin, was in a new relationship with his girlfriend Brandy Greene. Ms. Greene was a corrections officer.

Ms. Brandy Greene was eventually put into contact with a Florida “civil rights lawyer” named Benjamin Crump.  After some back-and-forth positioning and discussion, Crump decided to champion a wrongful death case for the Martin family against George Zimmerman, the City of Sanford and the Sanford Police Department.

Benjamin Crump hired a PR firm run by Ryan Julison to create media pressure.  Using his civil rights contacts, Crump requested support from groups like Al Sharpton, Dream Defenders, and allies in the DOJ.  That approach led to AG Eric Holder and eventually President Barack Obama.

Additionally, having worked previously (2007) with Florida prosecutor Pam Bondi in the Martin Lee Anderson case, Benjamin Crump called the now Florida Attorney General Bondi for support. 

The detective (Serino) sided with George Zimmerman.  The Police Chief, Bill Lee, agreed with Serino and the evidence.  The local Sanford prosecutor (Norm Wolfinger) refused to bring a case against Zimmerman based on the evidence.

…. Enter Florida AG Pam Bondi, who told Florida Governor Rick Scott a special prosecutor was needed for her friend Ben Crump.
4. Police Chief, Bill Lee, was removed from authority; then the local prosecutor, Norm Wolfinger, was removed; eventually the lead Detective, Chris Serino, was removed.

No prosecutor in Florida wanted to touch the case because the evidence against Zimmerman just didn’t exist.  However, Florida AG Bondi replaced the Sanford officials with State investigators working for a new “special prosecutor” Angela Corey, out of Jacksonville.

The selected special prosecutor, District Attorney Angela Corey (pictured below in pearls), was Pam Bondi’s campaign manager.

Martin family attorney’s Benjamin Crump and Daryl Parks then began creating a fabricated case construct to sell to the media.  The PR firm led by Ryan Julison provided the initial media contacts and narrative distribution of the fabricated case.  The majority of that fabricated case still exists in the public psyche despite all of the truth that came out during the trial of a transparently innocent George Zimmerman.

Pam Bondi was part of that fraudulent prosecution architecture. In fact, without her origination the state case against Zimmerman was non-existent.  Everything told about the Trayvon Martin shooting was a lie, including his age, the “skittles and iced-tea” story, this background criminal record, Trayvon’s known drug use, and just about everything else.  It was all an entirely manufactured Lawfare case, pushed to a compliant media.

None of the witness statements were ever in the media. None of the (full context) 911 call evidence was ever in the media. None of the images of George Zimmerman’s face and head were ever in the media.  None of the corroborating forensic evidence was ever in the media. None of the accurate pictures of Trayvon Martin were ever in the media. Nothing.  It was one big, fabricated Lawfare operation headed by Benjamin Crump and Special Prosecutor Angela Corey.Image
5. The State Prosecutors and Benjamin Crump claimed there was an “ear-witness”, witness #8 at trial, a mysterious Trayvon Martin “girlfriend” witness they refused to identify but swore she heard Zimmerman threatening and attacking Trayvon Martin.

At the trial you saw witness #8 as Rachael “that’s retarded sir” Jeantel.

This was the state star prosecution witness used to construct the case against Zimmerman, and she was protected and isolated until the very last second when she was called to the stand at trial.

Except there was an immediate problem, Jeantel was never an ear-witness, she was never Trayvon’s girlfriend, she only had cursory knowledge of Trayvon when he infrequently visited the neighborhood in Miami Gardens, and she never authored the supposed statement attributed to her; heck, she couldn’t even read it, and she was NEVER Trayvon Martin’s girlfriend.

Everything about Rachael Jeantel as a witness was entirely fabricated by Ben Crump and Angela Corey.  They literally put a fabricated witness on the stand.  Attorney General Pam Bondi knew all about it, in real time, as the false witness was being created and flown back and forth from Miami to Jacksonville in order to try and get some form of story aligned.

Let me be very clear.  Florida AG Pam Bondi knew that her special prosecutor, Angela Corey, and her friend, Benjamin Crump, had manufactured an entirely false and fictitious witness against George Zimmerman.Image
6. The defense team knew Witness #8 was a fake witness. Things never added up. The defense team eventually wanted to question Benjamin Crump.

Crump, who was not a lawyer in the criminal case and only a tangential party as a representative for the Martin family, refused to answer questions or give a statement to the defense team.

The defense team went to court to request Crump be compelled to give a deposition. The defense knew the witness was fraudulent.

As Attorney General for Florida, Pam Bondi then reappeared into the case to stop the defense from questioning Ben Crump about the witness.

Pam Bondi went to court in an attempt to stop the defense attorneys for George Zimmerman from questioning the construction of false witness #8 manufactured by Benjamin Crump.

Bondi knew the witness was fake. Bondi filed motions with the Florida Court to stop the defense from questioning Crump.

AG Pam Bondi did intentionally, willfully and with specific intent attempt to use the power of her office to assist in the malicious and wrongful prosecution of a transparently innocent man.

casetext.com/case/zimmerman…
7. I presume at this writing that President Donald Trump is completely unaware of what Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi did during her time in office.  The Florida Governor at the time is now Florida Senator Rick Scott, who could most certainly corroborate much of the background, albeit now with layers and layers of serious political ramifications.

Everyone involved in the prosecution, including AG Pam Bondi, was willing to put a transparently innocent man into prison; even to the extent of manufacturing a witness; in order to achieve a racially equitable political outcome that would assist their careers.

Many of you are probably reading this aspect of the story for the first time.  However, what we do know with as much certainty as we knew going into the George Zimmerman trial, is that every element of the Deep State knows exactly what Pam Bondi did in Florida with that case in 2012 and 2013.

The Intelligence Community and the people who control the DOJ know every single detail of that corrupt Bondi timeline, complete with emails, call logs, transcripts, text messages, strategy meeting notes and more.

They know all of it, and they will leverage that as blackmail (and more) against her just as soon as President Trump starts to think Pam Bondi is going to make a difference.

Wrongful prosecution by the State, on the scale of manufacturing false witnesses, does not have a statute of limitations.

But wait.... It doesn't stop there.
8. It would appear that President Trump’s campaign co-chair, and current Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, was the link that pushed Pam Bondi to become the next Attorney General.

[…] "Bondi worked as a lobbyist for Ballard Partners, the powerful Florida-based firm where Trump’s campaign chief and incoming chief of staff Susie Wiles was a partner. Her U.S. clients have included General Motors, the commissioner of Major League Baseball and a Christian anti-human-trafficking advocacy group.

She also lobbied for a Kuwaiti firm, according to Justice Department foreign agent filings and congressional lobbying documents. She registered as a foreign agent for the government of Qatar; her work was related to anti-human-trafficking efforts leading up to the World Cup, held in 2022.

Bondi also represented the KGL Investment Company KSCC, a Kuwaiti firm also known as KGLI, lobbying the White House, National Security Council, State Department and Congress on immigration policy, human rights and economic sanctions issues."

[**Pay Attention to the names in the highlight]

9. You might note, Pam Bondi and Mr James Rubin are the “key personnel” on the foreign agent registration notification. 

In his role working for Joe Biden, James Rubin was the head of the U.S. State Department Global Engagement Center.

Does the Global Engagement Center ring a recent bell?

Ask @MikeBenzCyber about the GEC

10. June, 2024 – WARSAW, Poland (AP) — "The United States and Poland on Monday launched an international operation based in the Polish capital whose mission is to help Ukraine counter Russian disinformation.

James Rubin, a senior U.S. diplomat responsible for countering disinformation, and Tomasz Chłoń, a Polish diplomat tasked with the same mandate, took part in a ceremony inaugurating the new Ukraine Communications Group.

The group, which begins its work Tuesday, will include representatives from 12 countries including Canada, France, Germany, Finland, Italy and several other NATO members as well as Ukraine itself, Rubin said.

[…] “The group is to confront the deceptive narratives about Russian aggression against Ukraine and to work for an honest representation of reality in the global information environment,” Poland’s government said in a statement. “This is a strong signal of our shared determination to continue supporting Ukraine in its fight against the Russian invasion.”

Rubin, who heads the U.S. State Department’s Global Engagement Center, said Warsaw was a logical location for the center given the many officials who pass through the Polish capital going in and out of Ukraine during the war.

The Global Engagement Center works to highlight disinformation by what it considers hostile states. Rubin said it has already had some success in debunking Russian disinformation campaigns."

yahoo.com/news/us-says-p…Image
11. Side Note: James Rubin, who served as a diplomat in President Bill Clinton’s administration, then as head of the censorship program in the Biden administration, was married to Christiane Amanpour from 1998 until 2018.

Attorney General Pam Bondi was working for Susie Wiles as a Ballad Partners lobbyist for Qatar, together with James Rubin who worked for Joe Biden to combat Russian disinformation and support Ukraine as the head of the U.S. State Dept Global Engagement Center.

Nothing to see here folks, move along…. move along.

Inside the released report by John Durham, the special counsel outlined how former FBI Director James Comey was intimately involved in the creation of the Carter Page FISA application.

Durham noted that Comey kept asking the DOJ National Security Division and FBI counterintelligence investigators, “Where’s the FISA, we need the FISA.”  However, John Durham never interviewed James Comey or Andrew McCabe. 

The former FBI Director and Deputy refused to cooperate or give testimony to John Durham.  So, how did John Durham have details about the demands of Comey?

The answer is found in the footnotes. 

Durham reviewed transcripts of interviews given by Andrew McCabe to the Office of the Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, who previously investigated FBI conduct in the origin of the Carter Page FISA.  Durham pulled quotes from that transcript. [Footnote #1207, page 199 – Durham Report]

justice.gov/storage/durham…

QUESTIONS: If Andrew McCabe gave testimony to the OIG about the motives and impetus of FBI Director James Comey in pushing for the Carter Page FISA application, why did the OIG report never outline those transcribed interviews?  Why was the interview transcript never included in the 2019 OIG report?

[ NOTE: A transcribed interview of Andrew McCabe exists in the OIG office. @DNIGabbard through @AGPamBondi can request the transcription and release it to the public.]

However, let me answer the questions without the customary pretending from the DC professional political class.  The short version is that OIG Michael Horowitz was protecting the DOJ and FBI. The longer version is a coverup that includes Rod Rosenstein, Bill Barr and ultimately yes, John Durham. 

“Where’s the FISA?  We need the FISA?” ~ James Comey

You see, the DOJ-NSD and FBI CoIntel needed to find a safe and legal justification for previous spying on the Trump campaign.

The Clinton operation and 2016 FISA Title 1 surveillance of former CIA operative Carter Page became the fraudulent justification for that intent.

Because “FISA Title I” surveillance authority against a U.S. citizen is so serious (the U.S. government is essentially calling the target a spy), only a few people are authorized to even apply for such surveillance warrants.  One of the four people authorized to make such a Search Warrant request is the Asst. Deputy Attorney General as head of the National Security Division of the DOJ.

In September and October of 2016 a few critical things were happening:

1. NSA Director Mike Rogers was about to inform the FISC of the FBI spying operation using the NSA database.

2. CIA Director John Brennan was informing President Trump of the risk factors associated with the Clinton/FBI operation (that included #1).

3. The DOJ-NSD was quickly assembling the FISA Court application, sans Woods File, to be used against Carter Page. The Clinton/Steele Dossier was going to be used in lieu of the mandatory Woods File.

While Comey was saying, "where’s the FISA?  We need the FISA?" Pressure was building on the office of the Asst. Deputy Attorney General in charge of the DOJ-NSD, that's John Carlin.

Subsequently, Asst. Attorney General John P Carlin resigned as head of the DOJ-NSD.

Did Carlin resign in fear? Seems likely.

A few years later, while COVID was raging and few people were paying attention, OIG Horowitz released a COVID delayed letter and summary report about the FBI spying operation [technically, exploiting the NSA database].

On its face the OIG release outlines a review and finding, actually a warning, by Horowitz’s office about FBI contractor access to “a certain national security database.” 

The OIG report was titled: “Management Advisory: Notification of Concerns Identified in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Contract Administration of a Certain Classified National Security Program.”

The advisory part is particularly interesting when absorbed through the prism of prior information.

oig.justice.gov/reports/manage…

On the surface of the release, the OIG was noting concerns and a warning shared with the FBI about ongoing contractor access to the NSA database. Thus, a “classified national security program” becomes defined.

However, in the background of the release it appears the OIG was using this public notification as a CYA of sorts.

Meaning the OIG was saying publicly they have advised the FBI of “concerns” they carried with the FBI abusing access to the NSA database.

Within the report you will note the IG calls out the FBI because the FBI hid their response to the IG warning behind the cloud of “classification.”

This left the IG with no alternative except to say the classified response has to be accepted as the final FBI response to the IG warning. 

The IG goes on to say to the FBI you have 90 days to tell me what you did to address the contractor access abuses.

In reality OIG Michael Horowitz was covering his ass and telling us why. Perhaps that's why Horowitz was removed from his position recently and sent to the IRS office where Secretary Bessent could keep an eye on him.

Keep in mind this contractor access to the bulk NSA metadata is a big deal.  All of the FISA audits in the past eight+ years have pointed out how FBI contractors continue to abuse their access to the database and unlawfully extract information without minimization efforts required by fourth amendment protections. 

The scale of the abuse is actually stunning; and the OIG reviewed the process and found the same issues that existed in 2015 and 2016 remained uncorrected five years later.

1/ During the period of Nov 2015 to April 2016, the Obama administration, through the FBI under James Comey and Andrew McCabe, was conducting a political spying operation against all republican presidential primary candidates using the power of their offices.

The intent was two-fold. (1) Tracking the candidates to identify activity; and (2) conducting opposition research to be fed to the campaign of Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton.

This surveillance activity was happening in concert with Comey, McCabe and a small group inside the FBI, running a defensive operation for the issues surrounding Hillary Clinton's prior use of private email servers -which included classified information transmission- during her tenure as Secretary of State.

SOURCE: DNI

dni.gov/files/document…
2/ Documentary evidence of the Obama spying operation surfaced as an outcome of the NSA compliance officer discovering the FBI activity.

The compliance officer reported the activity to National Security Agency Director, Admiral Mike Rogers.

The spying operation is not an issue of FISA-702, or any FISA system or process. However, the availability of FBI access to the NSA database is what triggered the discovery of the spy operation.

That FBI access is created under the auspices of FISA, but FISA-702 or any aspect therein was not the issue.

The issue was the spying operation. FISA and using the NSA database to conduct the electronic surveillance, was simply the tool to exploit the electronic communication (metadata) of the targets.

The Obama administration was spying on their political opposition and telling the Clinton team the results of their surveillance.

The United States government was spying on candidates for office in order to control the outcome of the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
3/ After Director Mike Rogers was made aware of the operation, the exploitation of the NSA database, the NSA Director blocked the FBI from access and begun an investigation.

That investigation culminated in Director Mike Rogers informing the regulatory body in charge of protecting the database from exploitation.

FISC:

With the NSA now collecting the private electronic communication of Americans, the FISA Court was assigned the responsibility of oversight; intended to protect the growing metadata library and ensure the 4th Amendment provisions to the constitution were maintained.

The FISC oversight was intended to stop the government from reviewing the private records of Americans, the NSA database, without a warrant.Image

1) Newly appointed U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, from the Eastern District of Viginia, has released a criminal indictment of former FBI Director James Comey. [LINK BELOW]

The indictment alleges three counts. Counts one and two are ‘false statements’ to congress on September 30, 2020, [18 U.S.C. § 1001(a)(2)] and count three is ‘obstruction of a federal proceeding’ stemming from the same testimony. [18U.S.C. § 1505]

The first false statement charge surrounds Hillary Clinton’s “approval of a plan concerning” Donald Trump and the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
2) COUNT #1 – James Comey claimed he could not remember being made aware of the Trump-Russia collusion plan, and there is ample evidence from his own previous public statements, from public and sworn statements by former CIA Director John Brennan, from former statements by officials in the January 5, 2017, meeting memorialized by Susan Rice, from statements that remain sealed as recounted by former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, and from statements under oath by the former Clinton campaign team -including campaign manager Robby Mook- that James Comey was well aware of the plan.

While this first count is based on the tenuous “I don’t remember” aspect, this count holds more material benefit than simply Comey’s recollection. This count could open the door to public testimony by McCabe, Rice, Mook, Brennan and even Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton herself as to Comey’s knowledge; each was a first-hand witness.

This first count holds strong material value in a public trial regardless of the outcome. This first count establishes the baseline for USAO Lindsey Halligan to bring all material witnesses into court and publicly put them on record outlining the Trump-Russia collusion scheme.

You could say, I hope the intent is not just to incarcerate Comey per se’ – but rather to use what Comey represents to indict the entire enterprise around him.  The facts behind Count #1 make this possible.

Let’s all hope this strategic intent unfolds.Image
3) Count #2, involves James Comey falsely testify he did not direct former his FBI Special Government Employee (SGE) Daniel Richman to leak information to New York Times reporter Michael Schmidt.

This second count is easily evidenced through the prior investigation of Office of Inspector General Michael Horowitz and all prior witness statements therein. Again, that includes testimony to Horowitz given by former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

Additionally, the second count is evidenced by the direct testimony of Daniel Richman himself, who was hired by James Comey and given special access privileges to classified information systems. Richman was likely a grand jury witness during the assembly of the case against Comey.  Count #2 is the easiest to prove beyond any reasonable doubt.Image

1) Grassley does a pretty good job of outlining the predicate for the search warrants issued by the Biden DOJ (Lisa Monaco) and FBI (Arctic Frost).

Where Grassley falls short (by design?) is connecting the search warrant results to their destination.

The J6 Committee!

See it now?

grassley.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
2. The results from the FBI search warrants, was the predicate material for the J6 team to begin targeting Trump supporters in the aftermath of the 2020 election. Image
3. Those Arctic Frost search warrants included banking records, networks, affiliations, communications, Google search results, social media platform user IDs and much more.

1) Okay @PeterKlyng , you want to play that "proof" game again. You want receipts? OK, I'm good with that approach. Let's go....
2) It was in June 2022, when Senator Chuck Grassley sent a letter to then Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Chris Wray, notifying them of whistleblower allegations from within the FBI that senior leadership in both Main Justice and FBI are involved in a coordinated effort to cover up criminal activity related to Hunter Biden.

t.co/cu8I1OEayZ
3) The whistleblower allegations, in combination with the documented history of DOJ and FBI misconduct, culminate in Senator Grassley stating:

...“If these allegations are true and accurate, the Justice Department and FBI are – and have been – institutionally corrupted to their very core to the point in which the United States Congress and the American people will have no confidence in the equal application of the law. Attorney General Garland and Director Wray, simply put, based on the allegations that I’ve received from numerous whistleblowers, you have systemic and existential problems within your agencies.”

Grassley was admitting what has been visible for years.

1) Defending Kash.

Predictably, the one constant in an ever-changing IC universe, steps up to defend his #1 Source.

Solomon defends Kash.

justthenews.com/government/cou…
2) The reality is actually something entirely different.

The people in control of FBI field operations (not Kash), set up their agency head by informing the boss a suspect was in custody.

The ever concerned and focused on public opinion, Kash Patel, then took to Twitter to relay the news.

We all watched it unfold.
3) An embarrassed Patel then was forced to retract his public statement, walking back his message that a suspect was in custody.

The FBI field operatives smiled. Egg applied as expected, it worked brilliantly.

Patel couldn't then turn to those who set him up with anger, because their defense was, "we were questioning a suspect, we didn't tell you to go public with it - and as it turned out the suspect was cleared."

It was a brilliant maneuver, intended to undermine his authority and position and it worked perfectly.

Did you see his face when he eventually did arrive in Utah and didn't say a word at the microphone?
