Text Messages Show CIA Deployed Personnel Domestically to Capitol January 6, 2021

/3 Comments/in , , /by

By Breitbart. The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) deployed personnel to the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, text messages recently obtained by Judicial Watch via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) show.

The CIA is generally prohibited from spying on American citizens — leaving that job to the FBI. In fact, the FBI’s website states: “The CIA collects information only regarding foreign countries and their citizens. Unlike the FBI, it is prohibited from collecting information regarding ‘U.S. Persons,’ a term that includes U.S. citizens, resident aliens, legal immigrants, and U.S. corporations, regardless of where they are located.”

However, the text messages obtained by Judicial Watch showed that “several” teams were deployed to the Capitol on January 6, 2021. After Judicial Watch sued the Justice Department for not responding to a FOIA request, the DOJ handed over documents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) that included the text messages.

The text messages were under the heading: “January 7 Intel Chain.”

One series of text messages said “two CIA bomb techs” are assisting with “a pipe bomb scene on New Jersey and D ST SE.” The location is where two pipebombs were allegedly left at the Republican National Committee and Democratic National Committee headquarters.

Video: CIA deployed personnel during Jan 6 Capitol storming, records show

By American Military News. A government watchdog group announced Wednesday that it obtained new records showing that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) deployed personnel to Washington, D.C., during the Capitol Hill protest on January 6, 2021. . .

According to Judicial Watch, the disclosure of the CIA’s involvement in the federal government’s response to the Capitol Hill protest was forced by a Judicial Watch lawsuit after the Justice Department refused to grant a FOIA request for records and communications pertaining to the reports of shots being fired inside the Capitol. . .

In a video posted on social media, Fitton explained that the recent disclosure of the CIA’s involvement in the response to the storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6 raises many questions.

“First of all, why did it take Judicial Watch heavy lifting in federal court to get access to these documents after all these years?” Fitton asked. “Why didn’t the Pelosi January 6 Committee, even as corrupt as it was, not disclose the CIA involvement? What was the CIA involved for? Were they investigating foreign intelligence operations? Were they investigating American citizens? What else have they done related to January 6?”

Judge Questions Why Trump Was Only President Charged Over Handling of Classified Material

/1 Comment/in , , /by

The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s Florida case questioned during a Thursday hearing why he was the only president who has been charged over his handling of classified material, according to multiple reports.

During a hearing to consider various motions Trump filed to dismiss the case, Judge Aileen Cannon noted no former president had similarly faced criminal charges over the handling of classified material, according to NBC News. Trump’s attorneys brought up special counsel Robert Hur’s report finding evidence President Joe Biden willfully kept classified documents, but declining to charge him, according to CNN.

“Even with other former presidents, there was never a situation remotely similar to this one,” prosecutor Jay Bratt told Cannon, according to CNN.

When Special counsel Robert Hur appeared before the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday to defend his report, Republicans suggested there was a double standard in bringing charges against Trump but not Biden.

Special counsel Jack Smith previously cited Hur’s report in opposing Trump’s motion to dismiss based on “selective and vindictive prosecution.” (Read more from “Judge Questions Why Trump Was Only President Charged Over Handling of Classified Material” HERE)

Why Fani Failed: 3 Trump Counts Dropped Because ‘Felony’ Not Specified

/2 Comments/in , , /by

The judge who threw out three criminal charges against former President Donald Trump in Georgia on Wednesday did so because District Attorney Fani Willis did not specify the felonies she said he was asking public officials to commit.

As Breitbart News noted at the time, when Willis charged Trump and 18 co-defendants, three of the counts involved allegations of “Solicitation of Violation of Oath by a Public Officer.” It was among the milder charges, with a maximum sentence of up to three years. The relevant section of the Georgia criminal code requires that the solicitation be to commit a “felony.” The problem: the original indictment is rather vague about what, in fact, that “felony” is.

Willis, like other Democrats, and members of the pundit class, are convinced that Trump’s effort to contest the election results was an “assault on democracy” and the Constitution. . .

As Judge Scott McAfee of the Superior Court of Fulton County wrote in his order dismissing the solicitation charges:

The Court’s concern is less that the State has failed to allege sufficient conduct of the Defendants – in fact it has alleged an abundance. However, the lack of detail concerning an essential legal element is, in the undersigned’s opinion, fatal. As written, these … counts contain all the essential elements of the crimes but fail to allege sufficient detail regarding the nature of their commission, i.e., the underlying felony solicited. … They do not give the Defendants enough information to prepare their defenses intelligently, as the Defendants could have violated the Constitutions and thus the statute in dozens, if not hundreds, of distinct ways.

Woman Dies After Getting Trapped Under Conveyor Belt While Reaching for Her AirPods

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A Georgia woman died Friday after getting trapped in a conveyor belt while trying to get her AirPods, NBC News reported.

Alyssa Drinkard, 21, lost her life last week in an accident at a Club Car manufacturing facility in Georgia, according to NBC News. Club Car, known for its production of golf carts and other vehicles, is under investigation following the incident. During Drinkard’s shift, she accidentally dropped her AirPod beneath the conveyor belt.

While trying to get her earbud back, she reportedly got caught in a chain mechanism that moved the conveyor. Even though her co-worker, Fae’Zsha Smith, acted quickly, the design of the machinery made it impossible to free Drinkard immediately, according to NBC News. They had to call maintenance staff to take the machine apart and then call for emergency help, NBC News reported. Emergency services reportedly managed to free Drinkard by cutting through the metal surrounding the conveyor.

Autopsy Reveals Cause of Death of ‘Nonbinary’ Teen Attacked in Bathroom: Report

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Oklahoma Medical Examiner’s Office released autopsy results Wednesday that concluded a 16-year-old nonbinary student from Owasso High School died by suicide, the New York Times reported.

Nex Benedict passed away a day after being involved in a physical fight in the school’s girls’ bathroom, the New York Times reported. The autopsy found that the cause of death was a deadly mix of diphenhydramine, an allergy medication, and fluoxetine, a drug used to treat depression.

The death of the teenager initially sparked a strong reaction from gay and transgender rights groups, who pointed out claims of bullying at school. This has brought more attention to the safety and mental health of students dealing with similar issues.

The fight took place on Feb. 7, and it was initially unclear whether the fight had caused Benedict’s death, the New York Times reported. Police reports said Benedict blacked out during the fight but officials later confirmed that the injuries from the fight did not directly lead to Benedict’s death, according to the outlet. The aftermath of the incident saw the police department clarifying their stance, with Lt. Nick Boatman expressing early suspicions that Benedict took her own life.

American Man Eats This Popular Food, Predictably Develops Debilitating Migraines. Here’s Why

/2 Comments/in , , /by

A startling medical case has emerged, shedding light on the unexpected link between a man’s chronic migraines and a hidden menace lurking within his brain: tapeworm larvae. The tale unfolds with an American man, aged 52, whose worsening migraines ultimately led to a surprising diagnosis of neurocysticercosis – a parasitic infection caused by tapeworm larvae residing in the brain tissue.

Published in the American Journal of Case Reports, the study chronicles the journey of this unidentified patient whose migraines intensified over four months, defying conventional treatments. Upon admission to the hospital and subsequent CT scans, a grim revelation surfaced – numerous cystic foci, indicative of fluid-filled sacs within the brain. Further tests confirmed the presence of neurocysticercosis, unraveling a rare yet concerning medical condition.

Neurocysticercosis, a form of parasitic tissue infection caused by the larval stage of the pork tapeworm, is a condition more commonly associated with regions of poor sanitation in the developing world. However, what made this case particularly intriguing was the absence of recent travel to high-risk areas. Instead, a seemingly innocuous habit came under scrutiny – the patient’s penchant for consuming lightly cooked, non-crispy bacon throughout his life.

The medical investigation suggests a plausible connection between the patient’s dietary preferences and the transmission of the tapeworm larvae. Speculating on the mode of transmission, researchers proposed that the patient might have contracted the tapeworm himself due to improper handwashing after handling contaminated pork. This hypothesis points towards autoinfection, where the individual becomes the unwitting host of the parasite after initial exposure.

Prompt treatment with anti-parasitic and anti-inflammatory medications proved successful, with regression of brain lesions and improvement in headaches observed in the patient. Nevertheless, this case serves as a stark reminder of the potential risks associated with consuming undercooked pork products, particularly in regions where neurocysticercosis remains endemic.

Paul Rips Trump for Endorsing ‘Worst Deep State Candidate This Cycle’

/1 Comment/in , , /by

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) ripped former President Trump on Monday for endorsing former House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Rogers’s (R-Mich.) bid for Senate, slamming the former congressman as the “worst Deep State candidate this cycle.”

“Donald Trump just endorsed the worst Deep State candidate this cycle. @MikeRogersForMI is a never Trumper, and a card carrying member of the spy state that seeks to destroy Trump,” Paul posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.

“You have to ask yourself who gives Trump this awful advice? Who’s next, John Bolton?” he asked, referring to Trump’s former national security adviser, who has become one of the former president’s harshest critics.

Trump announced Monday he is backing Rogers, who is favored to win the Republican nomination to run for the seat being vacated by retiring Sen Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.).

Rogers is also backed by the National Republican Senatorial Committee. NRSC Chair Steve Daines (Mont.) has worked closely with Trump to advance candidates favored by Senate GOP leadership to the general election.

CNN Refuses to Air State of the Union Ad Blaming Biden for Murder of Laken Riley (VIDEO)

/4 Comments/in , , /by

CNN refused to air a conservative group’s State of the Union ad that blamed President Joe Biden for the murder of 22-year-old Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, who was killed by an illegal immigrant.

Building America’s Future said Friday that major media networks, including Fox News, MSNBC, and Newsmax, all accepted the ad. CNN ultimately rejected it, however.

“CNN and Joe Biden are in lockstep once again: they won’t even #sayhername,” Building America’s Future advisor Phil Cox said in a statement provided to National Review.

“It is shameful that CNN is censoring the truth and trying to protect President Biden by refusing to air this ad,” Cox added. “The American people understand that Biden’s open borders agenda is responsible for the death of Laken Riley. Building America’s Future won’t be deterred when it comes to the important work of informing the public on how we are all less safe in Joe Biden’s America.”

The news was first shared by Fox News commentator Guy Benson on X: “I am told that CNN is refusing to air this. They ran out the clock on a pre-SOTU ad buy — then rejected it, calling several of its claims unsubstantiated. Fox and MSNBC aired it.”

In response to National Review’s request for comment, a CNN spokesperson confirmed that the ad failed to meet the network’s commercial clearance guidelines and policies because its claims were unsubstantiated.

Psychiatrist Sees Signs Biden Was Medicated for State of the Union Performance

/1 Comment/in , , /by

A psychiatrist who has worked with elderly dementia patients said President Biden exhibited signs of stimulant use to mask cognitive decline in his amped-up, aggressive State of the Union speech on Thursday.

Mr. Biden, 81, often raced through his remarks with the speed of an auctioneer, loudly shouting his words despite having a microphone in front of him.

Speed and volume of speech can be a sign of using Adderall or another amphetamine, said Dr. Carole Lieberman, a forensic psychiatrist based in Beverly Hills, California.

“If you look at how Joe Biden usually is — slow and stumbling — compared to how he was during the State of the Union — fiery and angry — these are signs that are typical for someone taking Adderall or any amphetamine,” she said.

Dr. Lieberman, who has not personally examined the president, said the signs of potential pharmaceutical use go beyond how Mr. Biden spoke during the nearly 90-minute speech, but also in his mannerisms.

Trump’s Driver on J6 Disputes Infamous Claim POTUS Tried to Grab Steering Wheel to Go to Capitol: Report

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Former President Donald Trump’s driver disputed the infamous claim that the former president tried to grab the steering wheel from him on Jan. 6, 2021, and go to the U.S. Capitol, according to a transcript obtained by The New York Times (NYT).

Following his speech on Jan. 6, 2021, Trump reportedly entered his armored vehicle and began discussing how big the crowd was at his address. Trump then said that he wanted to go to the U.S. Capitol, the president’s driver said in an interview with House lawmakers, according to The NYT. Trump’s lead Secret Service agent Robert Engel told the president that such a move was not possible because they did not have the plans to do so, the driver told The NYT. At no point did Trump yell at the driver to go to the Capitol nor did he lunge for the steering wheel, the driver reportedly testified.

“The president was insistent on going to the Capitol,” the driver said in the transcript, according to The NYT. “It was clear to me he wanted to go to the Capitol. He was not screaming at Mr. Engel. He was not screaming at me. Certainly his voice was raised, but it did not seem to me that he was irate — certainly not, certainly didn’t seem as irritated or agitated as he had on the way to the Ellipse.”

The driver’s testimony contradicts that of Cassidy Hutchinson’s, a former White House aid to Trump’s chief of staff, Mark Meadows. Hutchinson previously testified that she had heard that the former president had reached for the steering wheel the day of the Capitol riot. Hutchinson told House investigators that Trump had ordered his deputy chief of staff Tony Ornato and Engel to take him to the Capitol before then reaching for the steering wheel from the backseat and grabbing Engel by the clavicle.

“I did not see him reach,” the driver told investigators, The NYT reported. “He never grabbed the steering wheel. I didn’t see him, you know, lunge to try to get into the front seat at all. You know, what stood out was the irritation in his voice, more than his physical presence.” (Read more from “Trump’s Driver on J6 Disputes Infamous Claim POTUS Tried to Grab Steering Wheel to Go to Capitol: Report” HERE)
