FBI executes search warrant at Donald Trump's home at Mar-a-Lago

A legal barrier has been broken - a maiden legal voyage has been taken: the FBI executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, the Florida home of former President Donald Trump. This is a historic law enforcement move by the Department of Justice. Importantly, in order to obtain a search warrant for Trump's home, a federal judge had to have concluded that there was probable cause to believe there is evidence of federal crimes on the property of Mar-a-Lago. This video discusses what we know about this ...

First, Secret Service deleted 1/6 texts, then the Dept. of Homeland Security, now Defense? Really?

Secret Service deletes Jan. 6 text messages. A move to protect Trump? Also, Mike Pence MUST testify

J6 hearing testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson presents both "smoking gun" and "loaded gun" evidence

It's inexplicable that people are still looking for "smoking gun" evidence involving the crimes of Donald Trump.

But the January 6 House select committee investigating the insurrection also provided dramatic evidence of witness tampering by Team Trump, in what could be characterized (figur...

Trump pressuring Mike Pence to overturn election results is additional evidence of Trump's treason

The evidence is mounting that Donald Trump not only obstructed an official proceeding and conspired to commit offenses against the United States, as federal judge David Carter found (by a preponderance of the evidence), and not only incited an insurrection, and not only is part of a seditious conspiracy, but that he also "levied war against the United States", which constitutes the crime of treasons (18 USC section 2381). The evidence of Trump's pressure campaign, attempting to coerce then -Vice...

The congressional select committee investigating the insurrection has taken the testimony of more than 1000 witnesses in its determination to get to the bottom of the insurrection. Even before the first witness testifies publicly, the country owes a huge debt of gratitude to Chairman of the committee Rep. Bennie Thompson, vice chair Rep. Liz Cheney, and all the members of the committee and their investigative staff, for their efforts to pull back the curtain on Trump's treason. Now, the American...
