Donald Trump Cites Presidential Immunity in Motion to Dismiss January 6 Case

Former President Donald Trump argued that special counsel Jack Smith’s case against Trump over the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot should be dismissed because he has presidential immunity.

Trump pleaded not guilty after Smith indicted him on four counts, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S., conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

“Breaking 234 years of precedent, the incumbent administration has charged President Trump for acts that lie not just within the ‘outer perimeter,’ but at the heart of his official responsibilities as President,” Trump’s attorneys argued. “In doing so, the prosecution does not, and cannot, argue that President Trump’s efforts to ensure election integrity, and to advocate for the same, were outside the scope of his duties.”

Many legal scholars expected Trump to file a motion to dismiss the case on presidential immunity grounds.

Trump’s attorneys noted that all of the alleged acts Trump committed occurred while he was still president. (Read more from “Donald Trump Cites Presidential Immunity in Motion to Dismiss January 6 Case” HERE)

Disaster: Only 43 Out of 8K Troops Discharged Over Biden’s Vax Mandate Have Sought to Rejoin

Only 43 out of more than 8,000 service members who were discharged from the military over the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate have sought to rejoin, according to a recent report by CNN.

According to the report, 19 have rejoined the Army, 12 have rejoined the Marine Corps, one has rejoined the Air Force, and two have rejoined the Navy.

The report suggested that the low numbers prove that Republicans who say the mandate hurt recruiting and retention were wrong.

However, some troops who fought the mandate while they were in the military told Breitbart News that they disagree.

Retired Air Force Master Sergeant Nick Kupper, who recently retired after successfully fighting his discharge, told Breitbart News that troops are not seeking to rejoin because they feel betrayed.

FBI, DOJ Officials Were ‘Openly Mocking’ Congressional Inquiries Into Hunter Biden Investigation, Memo Alleges

Officials from the FBI and the Department of Justice (DOJ) were “openly mocking” congressional inquiries about the Hunter Biden investigation into his taxes and firearms possession, a newly released IRS memo alleges.

IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley wrote a memo in December 2020 outlining the Hunter Biden investigation and potential obstacles to gathering additional evidence. One of those obstacles was the U.S. Attorney’s Office (USAO) for the District of Delaware and the FBI allegedly ignoring congressional requests and “openly mocking” the lawmakers who sent the requests, Shapley said in the memo.

“The FBI is a participating agency that is forcing decisions upon IRS-CI even though the only viable charges are currently tax charges. The assigned AUSA does not allow dissenting opinion without verbal admonishment,” Shapley’s memo reads.

“The USAO and FBI received congressional inquiries concerning this investigation and have repeatedly ignored their requests, openly mocking the members of congress who made the requests. It appears that someone at DOJ leaked information to the media after our day of action,” the IRS agent added.

OUTRAGE REPORT: Biden ‘Kicks, Punches’ His Dogs (VIDEO)

If there’s one thing most Americans not named Michael Vick can agree on, it’s not to abuse dogs. But somebody needs to tell that to Presidentish Joe Biden, whose approval rating was already in the toilet even before today’s Judicial Watch revelation.

The conservative watchdog — no pun intended — has filed a Freedom of Information Act suit against the Secret Service regarding reports of multiple bite attacks by the First Dog, Commander.

The dog reportedly has been removed from the White House after its most recent attack on a Secret Service agent and other White House staff. According to a Judicial Watch source, President Biden has mistreated his dogs. Judicial Watch has learned he has punched and kicked his dogs.

. . .

Last week, I came across a brief Twitter video that alleged to show Biden kicking Commander, but since it was impossible to tell if POTUS was just nudging his dog or whether the video was faked, I didn’t share it. With today’s news, here’s the clip so you can judge for yourself.

Newsweek: The FBI Is Now Explicitly Targeting Trump Supporters

The federal government believes that the threat of violence and major civil disturbances around the 2024 U.S. presidential election is so great that it has quietly created a new category of extremists that it seeks to track and counter: Donald Trump’s army of MAGA followers.

The challenge for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the primary federal agency charged with law enforcement, is to pursue and prevent what it calls domestic terrorism without direct reference to political parties or affiliations—even though the vast majority of its current “anti-government” investigations are of Trump supporters, according to classified data obtained by Newsweek.

“The FBI is in an almost impossible position,” says a current FBI official, who requested anonymity to discuss highly sensitive internal matters. The official said that the FBI is intent on stopping domestic terrorism and any repeat of the January 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. But the Bureau must also preserve the Constitutional right of all Americans to campaign, speak freely and protest the government. By focusing on former president Trump and his MAGA (Make America Great Again) supporters, the official said, the Bureau runs the risk of provoking the very anti-government activists that the terrorism agencies hope to counter.

“Especially at a time when the White House is facing Congressional Republican opposition claiming that the Biden administration has ‘weaponized’ the Bureau against the right wing, it has to tread very carefully,” says the official.

WATCH: “Anonymous” Tucker Carlson Fan Who Epically Trolled Fox News During Live Segment Has Been Identified… (VIDEO)

Live TV certainly has its share of surprises, and it can be a playground for trolls and pranksters. While most pranks are harmless, the timing can sometimes be a bit off. In a recent incident, a “fan” of Tucker Carlson seized the moment and called into Fox News, hilariously pranking reporter Trace Gallagher during a live report about a shooting incident (fortunately, no fatalities occurred).

During the discussion about the incident at a Morgan State University dorm in Baltimore, Gallagher introduced the caller as Tyrone, a supposed student from the university. Tyrone took control of the conversation right away by mentioning that he and his friends regularly gather together every Tuesday to watch Tucker Carlson’s show on X (formerly on Fox News). Tyrone went on to say that Tucker was “the most credible guy in the media in America” and is doing even better now that he’s not with Fox News, where they forced him to “read a teleprompter.”

Ha ha, great stuff! Gallagher quickly realized that “Tyrone” wasn’t actually a student at Morgan State and cut the conversation short.

It was a great prank, and now we know who was behind it: conservative comedian and renowned YouTuber Mark Dice claimed credit for the call. Well done, Mark!

Child Care Worker Identified as Pedophile Facing Over 1,600 Sex Crime Charges

A former child care worker in Australia was identified this week as an alleged pedophile facing more than 1,600 charges of heinous offenses against children.

Ashley Paul Griffith, 45, of Queensland, has been charged with a staggering 1,623 sex crimes in Brisbane, Sydney, and abroad — including 136 counts of rape and 110 of having sex with a child under 10 years old, The Australian reported.

Griffith’s alleged victims include 91 underage girls he reportedly raped and abused between 2007 and 2022, the outlet said.

He was finally apprehended following an eight-year investigation, which culminated in authorities identifying him based on bedsheets seen in the back of child sex abuse material shared on the dark web, the Guardian reported.

Griffith was arrested by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) in 2022, but his charges were detailed anonymously until Tuesday. Recently passed legislation in Australia allowed authorities to identify accused sex offenders after charges are filed publicly, The Australian explained.

Tennis Legend Fumes Over Deb Haaland Video With Drag Queen: ‘Pathetic Parody of Women’

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova wasn’t happy with a video showing Interior Secretary Deb Haaland discussing “how places such as Stonewall are important to telling America’s story” with drag queen and activist Pattie Gonia.

Haaland was seen standing with Gonia outside the Stonewall National Monument in New York City in the short clip, which was shared by Haaland Monday on X.

“Is this a joke?” Navratilova wrote in a post responding to the video. “The pathetic parody of women continues.”

The 18-time Grand Slam winner also fired back at one X user who wrote: “Butch lesbians always faced the same derision. ‘Not really a woman.’

LGBTQ Groups Praise Jail Sentence for Commentator Who Called Journalist a ‘Fat Lesbian’

LGBTQ groups hailed the 60-day jail sentence a court in Switzerland gave to a writer and commentator for deriding a journalist as a “fat lesbian,” among other critical remarks.

The Lausanne court sentenced French-Swiss polemicist Alain Bonnet, who goes by Alain Soral, for the crimes of defamation, discrimination and incitement to hatred on Monday. He was ordered to pay legal fees and fines totaling thousands of Swiss francs (dollars) in addition to the time behind bars.

Soral lashed out at Catherine Macherel, a journalist for Swiss newspapers Tribune de Geneve and 24 Heures, in a Facebook video two years ago. He called her a “fat lesbian” and said Macherel’s work as a “queer activist” meant she was “unhinged,” according to Swiss public broadcaster RTS.

“This court decision is an important moment for justice and rights of LGBTQI people in Switzerland,” Murial Waeger, co-director of the lesbian activist group LOS, said in a statement. “The conviction of Alain Soral is a strong signal that homophobic hatred cannot be tolerated in our society.” (Read more from “LGBTQ Groups Praise Jail Sentence for Commentator Who Called Journalist a ‘Fat Lesbian’” HERE)

Zelensky’s Wife Spent a Staggering $1.1 Million on NYC Shopping Spree Raising New Questions of Ukraine Corruption

Olena Zelenska, the wife of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, recently embarked on a shopping spree in New York City that has left many questioning the source of funds and the ethics behind such extravagance. Reportedly, she spent a staggering $1.1 million during her shopping spree while visiting the United States alongside her husband, ostensibly to secure continued support from Washington.

During this visit, President Zelensky was engaged in crucial diplomatic efforts, including his first in-person address to the UN General Assembly, meetings with lawmakers on Capitol Hill, and a visit to the White House. His mission was clear: to bolster support for Ukraine on the global stage. However, while President Zelensky was tirelessly advocating for his nation, his wife, Olena Zelenska, was conspicuously spotted on Fifth Avenue in NYC, indulging in opulent shopping.

New York’s Fifth Avenue, often regarded as the world’s most famous shopping street, is home to an array of prestigious and high-end stores, including Armani, Gucci, Bergdorf Goodman, Harry Winston, and Cartier. It is a haven for luxury shoppers, drawing modern-day celebrities who frequently adorn themselves with exquisite CARTIER pieces. Notably, famous personalities such as Angelina Jolie, Kylie Jenner, and Lupita Nyong’o have been seen wearing Cartier jewelry, and Olena Zelenska, it appears, shares their enthusiasm for the brand.

What raises eyebrows is the astonishing sum reportedly spent by Olena Zelenska during her visit to the renowned Cartier Mansion on Fifth Avenue. According to an ex-employee of the Cartier store who had the opportunity to interact with Olena, she seemed uninterested in a tour offered by the staff. This initial indifference soon escalated when Olena snapped at the employee, dismissing their assistance with a terse, “Who said I need your opinion?” Following this encounter, she engaged in a discussion with the boutique’s manager, and the ex-employee, unbeknownst to her at the time, faced the consequence of losing her job.
