Capitol Police Just Arrested a Democratic Congressional Staffer in the Doxxing of GOP Senators

By Townhall. Capitol Police on Wednesday evening arrested a Democratic congressional staffer who allegedly doxxed a handful of Republican senators and then posted their personal information online.

Jackson Cosko, 27, was charged with making public restricted personal information, witness tampering, threats in interstate communication, unauthorized access of a government computer, identity theft, second-degree burglary and unlawful entry, although additional charges could be added. . .

Last week, Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Mike Lee (R-UT) had their home addresses, home phone numbers, cell phone numbers and email addresses added to their public Wikipedia pages. The postings came as the Senate Judiciary Committee questioned Kavanaugh over Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s sexual assault allegations. All three Republican appear to believe Kavanaugh to be innocent.

Police Won’t Investigate Domestic Violence Allegations Against Keith Ellison. Here’s Why.

By Townhall. On Wednesday, the Minneapolis Police Department said they would not investigate domestic violence allegations against Rep. Keith Ellison, who also serves as the Democratic National Committee’s deputy chair. MPD said they won’t conduct an investigation due to a conflict of interest, or the appearances of a conflict of interest, the Associated Press reported.

Minnesota Democratic officials asked MPD to conduct an investigation into allegations made by Ellison’s ex-girlfriend, Karen Monahan, after their attorney found her claims to be unsubstantiated. . .

Ellison allegedly called Monahan a “f–king b–ch” and dragged her off a bed by her feet. The allegations were thrown into the public eye when Monahan’s son posted on Facebook detailing what he had witnessed and evidence he found on his mother’s computer.

Citing Conflict, Minneapolis Police Won’t Look Into Claim Against Keith Ellison

By Star Tribune. The DFL Party’s attempt to find a law enforcement agency willing to investigate a domestic abuse claim against U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison was mired in uncertainty Wednesday, after the Minneapolis Police Department said it would seek to refer the case to another jurisdiction.

Earlier Wednesday, the DFL asked Minneapolis police to investigate after both a city attorney and a county prosecutor declined to review a report the party commissioned that did not substantiate the allegation. . .

“Due to a conflict of interest, or the appearance of a conflict of interest, the Minneapolis Police Department will not be handling the matter involving Congressman Keith Ellison,” read a police statement. It said the department is in communication with other law enforcement agencies to which it may refer the case. Ellison’s son, Jeremiah Ellison, is a member of the Minneapolis City Council.

FBI Expands Probe, Interviews Kavanaugh Friend Who Hosted Party Mentioned in Calendar

By Townhall. According to both national and local Denver news sources, FBI agents participating in the Brett Kavanaugh investigation spent time interviewing Tim Gaudette on Tuesday. Gaudette, who is now living in the Park Hill neighborhood of Denver, Colorado, was a high school classmate of Kavanaugh’s at Georgetown Prep.

The FBI’s interview with Gaudette is significant, because of an alleged July 1, 1982 gathering referenced on Judge Kavanaugh’s high school calendar. The event was supposed to have taken place at “Timmy’s” house. The “Timmy” referenced is known to be Tim Gaudette. . .

But according to the Washington Post, Kavanaugh’s July 1, 1982 calendar entry “has become the focus of lawmakers’ concerns.” Democratic senators on the committee have questioned whether or not that gathering could have been the location of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford’s alleged sexual assault. Ford claims that while she is “100%” sure that Brett Kavanaugh was her attacker, she does not recall the specific date, time, or place of said assault. . .

Tim Gaudette’s attorney, Kenneth Eichner, confirmed to the Washington Post that his client was indeed interviewed on Tuesday in Denver by the FBI, but declined to comment further.

The recent FBI interview with Gaudette came after President Donald Trump authorized the FBI to broaden the scope of the Kavanaugh investigation. The FBI had already conducted interviews with Mark Judge, another high school classmate of Kavanaugh’s. Judge has repeatedly denied having any knowledge of the alleged sexual assault on Dr. Ford, and has also denied the now largely-discredited accusations from Julie Swetnick–namely, that both Judge and Kavanaugh were present at parties where women were routinely drugged and gang-raped.

The FBI Confidential Kavanaugh Report: Who’s Allowed to Read It and Where

By NBC News. The much-awaited FBI’s supplemental background investigation will be delivered on Wednesday night to Capitol Hill, added to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s current file, and lawmakers will start reading it on Thursday morning.

What will be delivered, according to aides and senators, are the “302” forms of the FBI interviews, which summarize the contents of the interviews. The FBI, which has spent only a few days on the investigation, will not be submitting a conclusion as to who’s telling the truth in the case.

All 100 Senators will have access to the new information, but not their staffs. There also are 10 Judiciary Committee staffers who have access to the secret Kavanaugh file, which is a paper report — there are no pdf’s or emails of it. And it will not be made public.

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who has said he wants a confirmation vote this week, said on the Senate floor Wednesday night that the FBI report would be provided by the FBI to the Senate that night. McConnell set a key procedural vote for Friday that would set the stage for a possible full Senate vote as early as Saturday.

Is it Time for President Trump to Give Kavanaugh the Boot?

Like many patriots, I was not terribly excited about President Trump’s nomination of Brett Kavanaugh several months ago. Unlike Amy Barrett, Judge Kavanaugh was lackluster on his commitment to life, seemed to be in bed with the Bushes, and had real problems following the dictates of the Fourth Amendment. But given my support for the President, I was willing to give his nominee – and his better understanding of the difficult Senate confirmation battle – the benefit of the doubt.

Well before Christine Blasey Ford’s questionable allegations against Kavanaugh, I started hearing rumblings in liberty circles about Kavanaugh’s work with Establishment-pawn Kenneth Starr during the Vince Foster investigation in the mid-nineties. It took little time to determine that young Brett Kavanaugh was instrumental in the takedown of an important whistle-blower – Patrick Knowlton – an innocent bystander sucked into the whirlwind of the Vince Foster investigation because of what he saw on the day Foster’s body was discovered in Fort Marcy Park. Contradicting the official narrative, Knowlton claimed Foster’s car wasn’t at Marcy Park when he stopped to relieve himself, about seventy minutes after Foster supposedly drove himself there to commit suicide.

A British journalist assigned to Washington, Ambrose Evans-Pritchard, tracked down Knowlton and discovered that no one on Starr’s team had interviewed him, even though he was the first known person at the Foster crime scene. Pritchard, now the international business editor of the Daily Telegraph, published a story forcing the FBI to follow up. Knowlton’s life would never be the same.

According to Knowlton, the FBI’s efforts weren’t to get to the truth but to get him to change his story. The agency’s first witness statement attributed to him was completely made up. According to journalist Pritchard, the FBI’s statement

contradicted [Knowlton’s] express assertions. He said the FBI had tried repeatedly to badger him into changing his story on key facts. Each time he refused. Now it appeared they had written in what they wanted to hear. He agreed to go public and accused the FBI of falsifying his witness statement. This was to court trouble.

After the falsified FBI witness statement, Knowlton was then called before the DC grand jury to face none other than Starr’s deputy, Brett Kavanaugh. In an article published just yesterday, Pritchard claims

What happened first was an eye-opener. Before testifying, he suffered two days of what appeared to be systematic intimidation by a large surveillance team. This was observed by two other witnesses, including Chris Ruddy, now the powerful chief executive of NewsMax.

Mr. Ruddy called me in shock from Dupont Circle to recount what he saw. A deeply-shaken Mr. Knowlton contacted me from his home several times, until his phone was cut off.

Veteran intelligence agents might recognize a method. It had the hallmarks of a boilerplate softening-up operation. In my view – unprovable – the objective was to frighten him before his grand jury appearance. It smacked of police state behavior on the streets of Washington DC.

I informed Mr. Starr’s office that their grand jury witness was being intimidated. So did Mr. Knowlton’s lawyer, who asked for witness protection. Nothing was done. Mr. Kavanaugh brushed it off, saying the Telegraph was behind all this mischief in order to “sell newspapers”.

When Mr. Knowlton appeared at the grand jury – thinking he was doing his civic duty – he says he was subjected to two and a half hours of character assassination by Mr. Kavanaugh. There was little attempt to find out what he knew about the Foster death scene.

Knowlton blames Brett Kavanaugh personally for what happened to him during this process.

According to Pritchard, Kavanaugh went on to write the Starr report himself, rejecting the observations of not just Knowlton, but also the concerns of his colleague, federal prosecutor Miquel Rodriguez, who was forced out of the investigation because of his concerns about the cover-up.

Even though there were other major problems with the official narrative surrounding Foster’s supposed suicide, no bigwigs in the beltway would touch it with a ten foot pole. Now, twenty-three years later, most “respectable” politicos still run for cover when even a whisper of any type of Foster cover-up conspiracy is heard. No surprise then that even our few congressional allies are staying mum to Kavanaugh’s fixer past.

But this past is relevant, far more so than what we heard in last week’s hearings. As is the fact that globalist George Bush personally went to bat repeatedly for Kavanaugh over the past several weeks. If confirmed, Kavanaugh will just be another stooge on the bench, tossing patriots a bone here and there, but ultimately moving the high Court closer to the globalist oligarchs, and further away from our Founders’ intent.

Bombshell: Ford Lied Under Oath

By Daily Wire. A new letter, released by Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA), states that a former boyfriend of Christine Blasey Ford says that he personally witnessed her coaching someone on how to take a polygraph test, despite the fact that she testified under oath that she had never done so.

“The full details of Dr. Ford’s polygraph are particularly important because the Senate Judiciary Committee has received a sworn statement from a longtime boyfriend of Dr. Ford’s, stating that he personally witnessed Dr. Ford coaching a friend on polygraph examinations,” Grassley wrote.

Ford’s ex-boyfriend said in his letter that Ford coached Monica L. McLean on how to pass a polygraph test, saying that she “explained in detail what to expect” during the polygraph and how to be “less nervous” about the test.

A source familiar with the matter told The Daily Wire that there is potentially a second witness who can corroborate the claims made by Ford’s ex-boyfriend.

Trump Mocks Kavanaugh Accuser Christine Blasey Ford

By Washington Post. President Trump mocked the account of a woman who accused Supreme Court nominee Brett M. Kavanaugh of assault and told a Mississippi crowd that the #MeToo movement was unfairly hurting men.

Trump, in a riff that has been dreaded by White House and Senate aides, attacked the story of Christine Blasey Ford at length — drawing laughs from the crowd. The remarks were his strongest attacks yet of her testimony.

“ ‘I don’t know. I don’t know.’ ‘Upstairs? Downstairs? Where was it?’ ‘I don’t know. But I had one beer. That’s the only thing I remember,’ ” Trump said of Ford, as he impersonated her on stage.

“I don’t remember,” he said repeatedly, apparently mocking her testimony. (Read more from “Trump Mocks Kavanaugh Accuser Christine Blasey Ford” HERE)

Rape Charges Against 4 California Dentists Dismissed After Video Surfaces

By News Las Vegas. Four dentists from California, including three brothers, who faced rape charges for the alleged assault of a woman at the Wynn Las Vegas, had all charges dismissed in court Monday.

Charged were Ali Badkoobehi and brothers Poria Edalat, Saman Edalat and Sina Edalat. The charges included sex assault, conspiracy to commit sex assault and first-degree kidnapping for the late July incident. . .

Dentists Accused in Las Vegas Resort Rape Case Have Charges Against Them Dropped

By Fox News. . .Lawyers for the four dentists maintained all along the allegations were false. They predicted in August the case would be dropped once prosecutors reviewed the video evidence.

The dentists were already free on their own recognizance and none of them attended Monday’s hearing. The three Edalat brothers released a statement following the hearing.

“We are so grateful to the justice system for recognizing that we were the victims in this case,” the statement said. “We knew when the facts came out that the vicious allegations would be exposed as lies and our good names would be cleared. We want to thank our families, friends and lawyers for sticking by us through this horrific ordeal.”

The statement added: “At this sensitive moment in our history, we believe that women should be respected and heard and believed. But as this case shows, it is also important to keep a critical eye on those willing to use the (#MeToo) movement for their own selfish motives and remember that innocent until proven guilty is one of our country’s bedrock principles.” (Read more from “Dentists Accused in Las Vegas Resort Rape Case Have Charges Against Them Dropped” HERE)

ICE Arrests 150 Criminal, Previously Deported Illegals

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency arrested 150 criminal and previously deported illegal aliens across the Los Angeles, California region this week.

ICE officials say about 40 percent of the illegal aliens arrested in the sweep had been previously released by state or local officials in accordance with California’s “sanctuary state” policy, which gives safe haven and shelter to all illegal aliens, including those with criminal convictions. . .

“The state laws preventing ICE from working in the jails is significantly impacting public safety by letting serious repeat offenders back out onto our streets,” ICE official Thomas Giles said in a statement.

“Our presence would be focused in the jails, rather than in the streets, and safer for all involved, if ICE could again coordinate transfers of criminal aliens with local jails,” Giles said.

ICE officials say all illegal aliens who were arrested in the raid who are not being criminally prosecuted will be deported from the U.S. Illegal aliens who were previously deported “are subject to immediate removal from the country,” ICE officials said.

Study: Consequences Cut Illegal Immigration

By Free Beacon. Prosecuting illegal immigrants, or banning them from obtaining a visa, substantially reduces their likelihood of attempting to cross the border a second time, a new study concludes.

Although it only discusses a policy rolled out between 2008 and 2012, the study may have major implications for President Donald Trump’s zero tolerance approach to immigration enforcement, which still requires the prosecution of most childless border crossers.

The paper is a collaboration between two university professors and three researchers with the government-funded Institute for Defense Analyses. To conduct their analysis, the authors obtained detailed, person-level data on apprehensions at the southwestern border between fiscal years 2005 and 2012. They used fingerprint data to link repeated apprehensions, building a picture of who crossed the border and at what time.

The researchers were interested in the effect of the U.S. Border Patrol’s Consequence Delivery System program. Rolled out between 2008 and 2012, the CDS set up three different levels of sanctions for the people that USBP apprehends: precluding the detained person from acquiring a visa in the five years following detention, repatriating the person at a location far away from where they entered (to stymie efforts to reconnect with smugglers), and criminal prosecution.

6-Year-Olds Forced to Write Gay ‘Love Letters’ to Teach ‘Accepting Diversity’

By Life Site News. A primary school in England makes children as young as six write “love letters” inserting themselves into a homosexual fairytale, according to a recent video from BBC Radio Manchester.

The Blaze reports that the video profiles a class at Bewsey Lodge Primary School, in which teacher Sarah Hopson has her students place themselves in the role of Prince Henry and write a letter asking male servant Thomas to “marry” him.

“This school teaches children about LGBT relationships from an early age,” text over the video explains. “This class of 6 year olds is learning about gay marriage […] all ages take part in LGBT lessons.”

Children are “going to go out into that world and find this diversity around them, and they’ll find that at a young age as well,” Hopson told the BBC. “And the more they can be accepting at this age, you’re not going to face it further on because the children will be accepting now and will be accepting this diversity around them.”

Bewsey Lodge appears to pride itself for pushing the envelope in promoting homosexuality and gender fluidity to young children. It has gender-neutral uniforms, and its website declares that “any form of homophobia, transphobia and biphobia is unacceptable,” and posts a code of conduct declaring “respect” for anyone’s “gender identity,” “marriage,” or “sexual orientation.” (Read more from “6-Year-Olds Forced to Write Gay ‘Love Letters’ to Teach ‘Accepting Diversity’” HERE)

Principal Paddled Elementary School Students so Hard They Bruised, Charges Say

By USA Today. An Oklahoma school principal is facing child abuse charges after he allegedly used a wooden paddle to spank two elementary school students, leaving the boys bruised.

Indianola Public Schools principal Gary Gunckel, 50, was charged Friday with felony child abuse after a disciplinary incident that occurred at school, according to a statement from the school district.

Paddling is legally permitted in Oklahoma schools, and one third of the schools in the state report using corporal punishment, according to a 2016 report published by the U.S. National Library of Medicine.

A concerned parent contacted police after she observed bruising on her son’s buttocks, the McAlester News-Capital reports. The mother had given Gunckel permission to swat her son after the boy was involved in an argument at school, but the mother felt the bruising was excessive, the paper reports.

Another parent who’s child was involved in the argument reported similar injuries on her child, the paper reports. (Read more from “Principal Paddled Elementary School Students so Hard They Bruised, Charges Say” HERE)

Navy SEAL Drops Truth Bomb on Kavanaugh Accuser Believers

Robert O’Neill, the famous Navy SEAL who helped kill Osama bin Laden, says the “believe survivors” refrain surrounding Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh’s accuser is never used in conjunction with the 2012 Benghazi terror attack.

The SEAL Team 6 member who took out the United States’ most wanted terrorist during operation Neptune’s Spear added some military perspective this weekend to the controversy surrounding President Trump’s top pick to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Mr. O’Neill asked his social media followers why sexual misconduct allegations — like those leveled by California college professor Christine Blasey Ford towards Judge Kavanaugh — are supposed to be believed wholesale by the public, while Benghazi terror attack survivors like Kris Paronto are seemingly ignored.

Ms. Blasey Ford claims that Judge Kavanaugh attempted to rape her at an unspecified home during the summer of 1982. Individuals she cited as witnesses have failed to corroborate her claims. . .

Mr. O’Neill’s tweet references the terrorist siege in Libya that killed Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, foreign service officer Sean Smith, and CIA contractors Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty at a CIA compound. (Read more from “Navy SEAL Drops Truth Bomb on Kavanaugh Accuser Believers” HERE)

Fraud Soars as More Men Sneak Children Into U.S. to Exploit ‘Family Loophole’

By Washington Examiner. Men now make up about 40 percent of illegal immigrant parents trying to sneak children into the U.S., as they leap to take advantage of the “family loophole” that means illegal immigrants who come with children get treated more leniently.

Fraud also has soared, with the Border Patrol identifying 150 cases from May to August of adults, men or women, pretending to be families to take advantage of the loophole.

Those 150 cases work out to an annual rate of 450 a year — or nearly 10 times the 46 cases recorded in all of 2017.

The numbers, which The Washington Times obtained from the Department of Homeland Security, signal the growing shift in immigration patterns as would-be migrants and the smugglers who shepherd them on their journey north exploit the soft underbelly of U.S. policy to gain a foothold here.

Jessica Vaughan, policy studies director at the Center for Immigration Studies, said children have become “pawns and deportation shields,” carried on the dangerous journey north and deployed to try to earn their parents more leniency.

Italian Pro-Refugee Mayor Under House Arrest on Illegal Migration Charges

By Reuters. A town mayor in the south of Italy, known for his innovative approach to welcoming asylum seekers, was put under house arrest on Tuesday for allegedly favoring illegal migration, angering supporters but pleasing the anti-immigration interior minister.

Domenico Lucano, 60, mayor of Riace, a hilltop medieval town in Italy’s poor Calabria region, was put under home confinement by the finance police in the early hours, the local prosecutor’s office said.

A statement said Lucano and his partner, Tesfahun Lemlem, had organized arranged marriages with “particular ruthlessness” between local citizens and immigrant women and had set up “simple yet efficient” systems aimed at bypassing rules for migrants to be granted entrance to Italy.

Lemlem was banned from living in the town area, it added. (Read more from “Italian Pro-Refugee Mayor Under House Arrest on Illegal Migration Charges” HERE)
