Trump Furious with U.S. Attorney John Durham for Delay Issuing Indictments

Donald Trump and Republicans are furious that U.S. Attorney John Durham has not brought indictments against senior people who spied on the president’s campaign, lied repeatedly to judges in order to do it, and based their intrusions on specious evidence, which they knew to be false — and had been commissioned by the opposition political party. We know the broad outlines of this coordinated operation, but we still don’t know its full extent, all those involved, and what precise roles they played.

Attorney General William Barr promised major developments in this probe by late spring, then mid-summer, then Labor Day, and now sometime after the election. If, as Republicans say (and the evidence seems to show), there was a systematic effort to weaponize federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies for political purposes, the public has a compelling right to know. This need-to-know is urgent because the Democrats’ presidential nominee, Joe Biden, served as the second-highest ranking member of the administration that conducted these acts. . .

So, how can citizens acquire the information they need between now and Nov. 3? How can they find out what senior officials in the Obama administration did to surveil political opponents and cover it up when they lost the election?

There aren’t many options. The only realistic one is exactly what President Trump is demanding: Executive branch agencies must release all relevant documents with as few redactions as possible. His demand is entirely political, designed to help him win reelection. Still, he has the legal authority to do it. Whether it helps the country depends on what the documents tell us and whether they disclose any secret intelligence techniques.

Boy Dares to Speak up for President Trump in Class. Teacher Asks Student Why He Supports ‘a Racist and a Pedophile.’ Bad Idea.

By The Blaze. . .The subject was the debate between President Donald Trump and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden — and 12-year-old Jackson Cody said he became a fast target not only of other students, but also the teacher. . .

“The teacher asked, ‘Who supports Donald Trump?'” Jackson recalled to WHDH-TV. “And I was the only one to raise my hand.”

He noted to WBZ that “a few kids were going to raise their hands, but then they heard the teacher say to me, ‘Oh Mr. Jackson, I thought I liked you.'”

“Then she asked why I support a racist and a pedophile,” he noted to WHDH. . .

Once Jackson’s family found out what went down in his class, they fought back. (Read more from “Boy Dares to Speak up for President Trump in Class. Teacher Asks Student Why He Supports ‘a Racist and a Pedophile.’ Bad Idea.” HERE)

Gloucester Student Said Teacher Criticized Him for Supporting President Trump

By CBS News 4. Jackson Cody of Gloucester is in many ways a typical 12-year-old; he loves sports and is also passionate about politics.

“I just feel like our country wasn’t in a great place. I just wanted to learn more about Donald Trump because it seemed like he was making our country rise again and become America again,” the 7th grader said. . .

The family contacted a First Amendment rights attorney, and asked the school for an apology.

“We tell them to stand up for yourself and don’t be afraid to speak your opinion. Their opinions are theirs, they’re not our opinions. They’re very well read children. They like to educate themselves on their own topics. Unfortunately they do disagree with us very often,” Jackson’s father, Jay Cody added.

The teacher did apologize, and the O’Maley Middle School is facilitating some training for staff. The Codys are content this has started some important conversations at home and in school. (Read more from “Gloucester Student Said Teacher Criticized Him for Supporting President Trump” HERE)

Trump Campaign Uses Post Exposé to Blast Bidens for ‘Blatant Selling of Access’; Obama Conference Call Leaked to Burisma

By New York Post. President Trump’s re-election campaign on Wednesday accused Hunter Biden of “blatant selling of access” to his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, in the wake of a bombshell cache of documents about the family’s foreign dealings exposed by The Post.

“The way that this entire operation is set up to make money off of Joe Biden for decades has been ignored for far too long,” Trump 2020 senior adviser Jason Miller said during a call with reporters, labeling the influential family “Biden Inc” and calling for greater scrutiny of their business dealings. . .

The correspondence, which flies in the face of the Democratic nominee’s claim that he has “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” is contained in a tranche of data recovered from a discarded laptop that reportedly belonged to Hunter Biden. . .

“Obviously today we’re reading about Hunter Biden, and his blatant selling of access to his father for foreign companies when his father was Vice President of the United States,” he continued, before noting that both of the former veep’s brothers were also lobbyists.

Obama Conference Call Leaked to Burisma: Biden Emails

By New York Post. The Obama administration let a Democratic p.r. company that worked for Ukrainian energy firm Burisma take part in a conference call about an upcoming visit to Ukraine by then-Vice President Joe Biden, emails obtained by The Post show.

An associate at Blue Star Strategies then emailed a memo with minutes of the conference call hosted by the White House to a top Burisma executive, Vadym Pozharskyi, as well as to Joe Biden’s son Hunter and Hunter’s business partner, Devon Archer, both of whom sat on Burisma’s board.

The trip, in December 2015, turned out to be the one during which Biden later bragged about forcing Ukrainian officials to fire a state prosecutor who was investigating Burisma by threatening to withhold a $1 billion US loan guarantee.

Trump Declines to Say If AG Barr Would Return for Second Term

President Trump gave no sign about whether he would have Attorney General William Barr stay on in his administration should he win the election.

The president said he was “not happy” with the operations of the Justice Department, but declined to comment when asked if he would request Barr to lead it in a second term.

“I have no comment. Can’t comment on that. It’s too early,” Trump told Newsmax TV. “I’m not happy with all of the evidence I have. I can tell you that. I’m not happy.”

Trump’s response comes after a Justice Department investigation, led by U.S. Attorney John Bash, found no “substantive” wrongdoing into “unmasking” requests by Obama administration officials into retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn in the Russia investigation. The findings “fell short of what Trump and others might have hoped,” according to the Washington Post. However, the scope of Bash’s findings is not known as the conclusions of the investigation have not been made public.

President Trump Debates Biased Town Hall Moderator, Denounces White Supremacy, Again

By Breitbart. President Donald Trump on Thursday, during a town hall in Miami with NBC News, denounced white supremacy yet again.

Savannah Guthrie, the moderator of the town hall, asked the president why he hesitated to denounce white supremacy in the first presidential debate.

“You always do this,” Trump replied. “You’ve done this to me, everybody … I denounced white supremacy.”

Amid some crosstalk with Guthrie, Trump repeated, “I denounced white supremacy for years, but you always start off with the question.” . . .

“I denounce white supremacy, what’s your next question?” he replied. (Read more from “President Trump Denounces White Supremacy, Again” HERE)

Biased Moderator Loses Debate to Trump

By Dan Gainor. “Today” show anchor Savannah Guthrie was supposed to be the moderator at an event where the president would take questions from citizens in the audience. Instead, she hogged the time and peppered Trump with numerous questions about his personal health that few Americans could answer as specifically as she demanded.

It wasn’t a town hall, it was a debate. Except instead of Trump debating Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, as originally planned, Trump had to debate Guthrie.

And the winner of the debate, hands down, was Trump.

Guthrie harassed Trump about masks and about holding White House events during the coronavirus pandemic. . . . It took 20 minutes into the hour-long event before Guthrie even let the audience chime in. Even once the actual town hall portion of the program got going, Guthrie ripped it back to push her own agenda — talking about Trump’s taxes.

In another confrontation, Guthrie openly told Trump he was wrong … for his opinion.

WATCH: Democratic Party Leader Vows to ‘Lie,’ ‘Cheat’ and ‘Steal’ to Win; Left-Wing Radicals Post Online Guide to ‘Disrupting’ the Country If Election Is Close

By WND. A Democratic Party leader in Colorado says the 2020 election amounts to a “revolution,” meaning lying, cheating and stealing are morally acceptable actions if they help bring about the defeat of President Trump in November.

Kristopher Jacks, a member of the executive committee of the Colorado Democratic Party, expressed his beliefs in an undercover video released by Project Veritas.

“I am going to do everything morally acceptable to win. I will lie. I will cheat. I will steal. Because that’s morally acceptable in this political environment. Absolutely. We are pirates on a pirate ship,” he said.

“I want to make this point very loudly and very clearly,” he continued. “I said it nicely before, but I’ll say it more curtly now: 2020 is a political revolution.” . . .

“I think the right wing has a monopoly right now on strong, violent rhetoric, and I think they underestimate how many people on the left are organized, trained, armed, and ready to go should they decide to do their s***,” he said. “And I think all it will take is our numbers and a reminder that yeah, there’s a reason you guys feared the communists more than you feared the Nazis.”

Left-Wing Radicals Post Online Guide to ‘Disrupting’ the Country If Election Is Close

By Breitbart. An organization of radical left-wing activists has posted an online guide to “disruption” that outlines a plan to shut down the country and force President Donald Trump from power in the event that the 2020 election is too close to call.

The guide, “Stopping the Coup,” available as a Google doc, is being circulated by a group called ShutDownDC. It casts its plan for disruption as a response to an imagined “coup” by the president in the case of a close election.

In an email promoting the guide, ShutDownDC declares: “Preventing Donald Trump from stealing the election and remaining in office is likely to take mass, sustained disruptive movements all over the country.” The guide is a manual to that “disruption.”

Parts of the guide are committed to ensuring a “fair election.” Parts of it, however, read like a manual for staging a coup rather than a guide to preventing one:

In the context of a coup or highly contested election we need to be clear that our actions must directly affect the structures and pillars of power. Our largest asset in this regard utilizes the ideas of non-compliance through massive, broad based direct action. Where we can, we need to be in the streets, on the highways, or at the sites of power and power holders. In our jobs and lives we must refuse to allow those taking control the legitimacy of the power they seek through strikes, slowdowns, and boycotts, and public refusal to accept an illegitimate ruling party.

FBI Cited Tweet From DNC Operative’s Sister in Analysis of the Steele Dossier’s Most Explosive Allegation

FBI analysts relied on a tweet from the sister of a DNC operative as part of its analysis into the Steele dossier’s most explosive allegation: that the Kremlin was blackmailing Donald Trump with a videotape of him with prostitutes in Russia.

An FBI spreadsheet declassified last week and released on Monday shows that investigators cited an allegation from author and activist Andrea Chalupa.

Chalupa’s sister, Alexandra Chalupa, was a contractor for the Democratic National Committee through at least June 2016. The two sisters have been staunch critics of President Trump, and have helped push the since-debunked allegation that the Trump campaign conspired with Russia to influence the 2016 election.

The spreadsheet, which the FBI provided to two Senate committees, provides the first glimpse inside the FBI’s attempts to prove or disprove allegations in the dossier, which was compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele on behalf of the Clinton campaign and DNC. . .

“An uncorroborated source, journalist and author Andrea Chalupa, was cited in an Australian magazine article dated 1 November 2016 as mentioning Trump having an orgy in Russia,” the FBI analysts wrote in a column labeled “Corroboration/Analyst Notes.” (Read more from “FBI Cited Tweet From DNC Operative’s Sister in Analysis of the Steele Dossier’s Most Explosive Allegation” HERE)

Early Voting Data in Battleground States Shows Trump Outpacing National Polls

The Republican Party is keeping pace in mail-in and early voting in three key swing states despite polls showing early voting should clearly favor Joe Biden.

Data out of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ohio indicates that registered Republicans are returning ballots at about the same rate as registered Democrats in the battleground states.

In Michigan, just over 1 million ballots have been returned, 40% from registered Democrats, with the same from registered Republicans. In Wisconsin, 40% of the 711,855 returned ballots have been from Democrats, while 38% have come from Republicans. The GOP actually leads in Ohio, with 45% of 475,259 early ballot returns coming from Republicans, compared to 43% from registered Democrats.

The data contradicts national polls showing Biden supporters overwhelmingly plan to vote by mail or early in person. According to a Pew Research poll released Friday, 55% of voters who plan to cast their ballot in person before Election Day support Biden, compared to 40% who support President Trump.

Biden’s lead is even larger among those who plan to or already have voted by mail, with 69% saying they support Biden, compared to just 27% who support Trump. On the other hand, Trump leads those who plan to vote in person on Election Day, 63%-31%. Pew’s findings echo those of an Axios survey last month, which showed similar splits between those that plan to vote early and those that plan to vote on Election Day.

Donald Trump Jr. acknowledged the Daily Caller’s Twitter post saying, “Fact check: true.”

His comment prompted a response from Acosta, who posted an article from Mediate focusing on his response to the hecklers, headlined, “Jim Acosta Fires Back as Trump Rally Goers Chant ‘CNN Sucks’ in Live Shot: ‘What Also Sucks? Getting the Coronavirus.’”

Trump: ‘We Have Something That Will Cure’ COVID-19

By Daily Wire. President Trump appeared Friday on Rush Limbaugh’s nationally syndicated talk show and declared “we have something that will cure” COVID-19.

The president was diagnosed with COVID-19 on Oct. 1, and the next day was taken to Walter Reed National Medical Center, where he was treated with antibody drugs. Trump was among fewer than 10 people who were able to access the Regeneron cocktail under “compassionate use” rules, and he was discharged from the center on Sunday.

“I was in not great shape” when he was admitted to Walter Reed last week, Trump told Limbaugh. “But we had a medicine that healed me,” he added. “I might not have recovered at all without the Regeneron cocktail.”

“This is a cure. Call it what you want, it’s a cure. I’m talking to you today because of it,” the president said. “This is a total gamechanger.” (Read more from “Trump: ‘We Have Something That Will Cure’ COVID-19” HERE)

Trump Says He Is No Longer Taking Medication, Declares He’s ‘Healed’ of COVID

By NBC News. President Donald Trump is no longer taking medication prescribed by his doctors after he tested positive for Covid-19 and has been retested for the virus but declined to say when he last tested negative, he said during a Fox News interview Friday night.

“I have been retested and I haven’t even found out numbers or anything yet but I’ve been retested and I know I met either the bottom of the scale or free,” Trump told Dr. Marc Siegel during a segment on Tucker Carlson Tonight.

He later told Siegel that he would get tested again “probably tomorrow” and added that it is “great to see it disappear.” . . .

“I did negotiate but I have a lot of respect for these doctors, they are the best doctors in the world,” he said. “I really tended to listen but generally maybe I wouldn’t but I did tend to listen to this group.” (Read more from “Trump Says He Is No Longer Taking Medication, Declares He’s ‘Healed’ of COVID” HERE)
