Disturbingly, President Biden seems to have confirmed that he will refuse to consider potential nominees simply because of their race and sex. The Senate must not only reject Biden’s invidious discrimination but must also ensure no nominee moves forward who wants to further politicize the Supreme Court by legislating from the bench.

Within the last two weeks, Director Wray gave a presentation in which he said that Justice Department did not consult the FBI before the infamous Garland memo was issued. Wray said the FBI was not in the business of policing school boards and that the First Amendment rights of Americans would be respected. He said the FBI would not be involved unless there was violence.

Similarly, another senior FBI official’s presentation detailed how the FBI had no input on the Garland memo and that it was a “shock.”  This official said that Director Wray responded to the memo by contacting all of the SAC’s to reiterate that though violence would be subject to investigation, the First Amendment would be respected.

This senior official also slammed the Garland’s DOJ decision to give disgraced former FBI official Andrew McCabe over $700,000 and a promise to scrub his record despite his documented lies to the FBI and the DOJ IG. This senior official said the FBI had nothing to do with the settlement with McCabe and opposed it. The senior FBI official accused McCabe of lying to the FBI and to Congress about his involvement in the FBI’s Russia investigation. (The DOJ IG had documented that McCabe had lied repeatedly about his leaks about the FBI’s investigation of the Clinton Foundation.) 

The senior official also suggested the FBI's General Counsel fought the Justice Department’s decision to expunge McCabe’s record as part of the lawsuit settlement.

Interestingly, this senior FBI official also pushed back on the criticism that the FBI seems to have focused more resources on the January 6 investigation than the left-wing violence that plagued many American cities. The official said that a review of how FBI resources were deployed showed that the criticism of the FBI was “BS.”

The other scandal out of the Justice Department about these subpoenas is why the Biden administration moved to protect Mr. Schiff and the media by shutting down and curtailing investigations into criminal leaks of classified information.

Judicial Watch is your watchdog in Washington – Hillary Clinton knows who we are, and President Trump knows who we are. I’m not sure what Joe Biden knows, but millions of patriots across the nation know and support our heavy lifting to expose and stop government corruption. 

Judicial Watch is famous for using the Freedom of Information Act to figure out what the government is up to. No one has done more to uncover government corruption — from Benghazi to Clinton emails to Obamagate to the Biden family racketeering scandal.

The rule of law protects the high and low. But the corrupt Deep State and its partisan allies subvert the rule of law. They aimed high by targeting President Trump with illicit spying and contemptible abuses of his civil rights. 

President Trump is a crime victim.  

Who was behind the worst corruption scandal in American history? Obama, Biden, Comey, Brennan … you know the rest.

And when Trump raised questions about this conspiracy and Biden corruption the corrupt DC Establishment was so panicked that they tried and failed to remove him from office with their first sham impeachment. 

Remember the abuses of Trump are also about distraction — protecting Biden, Clinton, and other Swamp leaders from accountability for any misconduct and crimes. 

Let’s talk about the new president. No other president in recent American history has been so compromised by credible corruption allegations. There is significant evidence that directly implicates President “Big Guy” Biden in criminal activity tied to Hunter Biden’s rackets in Ukraine and China and other countries.  

Big Media and Big Tech, which seem to be nothing more than left wing advocacy groups, censored or covered this up for years, and the Justice Department and FBI, true to form, focused on protecting Biden while targeting Trump.

When it comes to exposing and uncovering government corruption, the DOJ and FBI are part of the problem — and have done more to undermine the confidence of the American people in the rule of law than just about anyone. Those institutions were irredeemably compromised under the Obama administration and spent most of the Trump administration either trying to destroy Trump at the behest of the Clinton/Obama/Schiff cabal or trying to cover up the real corruption that it should have pursued but never did. 

The failure of the Justice Department to hold any significant person accountable for Obamagate crimes is a scandal. Gosh, Biden is giving promotions to some of his Obamagate co-conspirators!

John Durham was appointed almost two years ago and there has been little evidence of a serious criminal investigation of those implicated in Spygate abuses of Trump and other innocent Americans, such as General Flynn.

And the FBI and Justice Department had Hunter’s laptop for years but did nothing but protect the Biden clan. Why, for example, is there not yet a special counsel for Biden corruption? We had the corrupt appointment of Mueller to investigate non-crimes to harass President Trump but nothing yet for President Biden. 

I call on the Justice Department to immediately appoint a special counsel to investigate Biden corruption. 

And let me say this to Special Counsel Durham – reports are nice but prosecutions are better! 

Judicial Watch isn’t waiting on a Biden special counsel or a Durham report.

Judicial Watch, not Congress nor the dishonest media, first uncovered that Hunter Biden flew to China at least five times while his father was vice president. A Judicial Watch federal lawsuit also uncovered that the Obama State Department noted the Russians were trolling then-Vice President Biden’s “anti-corruption” activities in Ukraine because he was compromised by Hunter’s Burisma corruption. 

And then there is the Obamagate scandal. Much of what we know about this Obama/Biden scandal is a result of our unrelenting lawsuits and pressure. Heck, who needs an IG when you have Judicial Watch! And it was reconfirmed last year that targeting Trump was all about protecting Hillary over her emails! 

Even as Clinton cronies and enablers are in the Biden White House, we’re supposed to forget Clinton’s email crimes. Judicial Watch remembers. America remembers and still wants justice. 

By the way, it is now official. We can impeach former presidents and government officials. So, should we now impeach Obama, Hillary Clinton, Comey, Brennan, Susan Rice, and all the rest? And maybe we can have congressional impeachments! Schiff, Pelosi, Omar, and Swalwell! 

The Pelosi impeachments of President Trump are about election interference. The Left, with the help of their allies in Big Tech, want to be able to interfere with our elections and smear, jail and censor anyone who objects. 

The Left didn’t want to remove Trump because he incited violence. He didn’t and they don’t care about violence as they endorse and use it regularly. They wanted to abuse impeachment to undermine an effective leading opposition voice.

The Left uses the pretext of COVID to rush through, sometimes contrary to law, long-sought changes in election rules that saw tens of millions of ballots and ballot applications being mailed to voter roll lists that are notoriously inaccurate.  

The tsunami of mail in ballots conveniently led to chaos in many key states on Election Day. By the way, federal law sets an Election Day, not an Election Week or an Election Month or an Election Winter.

On Election Day, President Trump had the votes to win the presidency. These vote totals were changed because of unprecedented and extraordinary counting after Election Day.

Judicial Watch has long warned of the chaos and increased risk of fraud from recklessly mailing 100 million ballots and ballot applications. Our most recent research using data from just before the election, revealed that 353 U.S. counties had 1.8 million more registered voters than eligible voting-age citizens. In other words, the registration rates of those counties exceeded 100% of eligible voters. 

In Pennsylvania, our litigation to clean up dirty voting rolls uncovered 800,000 “extra” names on the rolls. 

This maladministration of the elections, to put it charitably, undermined American’s confidence in the fairness of our elections and has significantly weakened Biden’s presidency. Let’s be clear. The Left ruined the election.

How to fix this mess? Restore the rule of law on elections. 

One thing we aim to do is “get the receipts” about the 2020 election. Judicial Watch has 105 open record and Freedom of Information Act requests pending on the election.

Another thing to do is clean up the rolls. Dirty voting rolls can mean dirty elections!

A Judicial Watch federal lawsuit settlement is already resulting in LA County cleaning up to 1.5 million names from the rolls! And we’re in federal court now to clean up the rolls in Pennsylvania, Colorado, and North Carolina. And more lawsuits are coming, believe you me!

And let me be clear, voting by mail should generally be ended. Vote by mail makes it nearly impossible to detect or even to pretend to prevent fraud. This security gap undermines confidence in the elections. Unless you’re putting your life on the line in Afghanistan or have some other emergency reason, the law should require you to vote in person — after your citizenship and eligibility has been verified and after you show your secure photo ID! And no ballot harvesting!

Let me say this, if elections are not secure and are conducted in violation of the Constitution, many Americans will not vote in them. Secure elections conducted according to law will increase voter turnout! 

Can we have a debate on this? Not if Big Tech gets its way. 

Big Tech’s ban of President Trump for his blowing the whistle on the election is all about helping the Left. 

Neither Section 230 nor any other law allows Big Tech to lie to the public and shareholders about their dishonest censorship of conservative Americans. This is basic business fraud that should be investigated by law enforcement. 

But at the saying goes: you can trust the Communists – to be Communists.

Sure enough, Communist and leftist partisans now seek to effectively criminalize those who advocate for free, fair, and secure elections. Big Tech’s censorship of former President Trump and other conservative leading voices provides cover to the Left’s broad and governmental attack on the God-given rights of tens of millions of Americans. 

If you want an example of how the Left views your First Amendment rights — take a look at the miles-long, barbed wire fence around the U.S. Capitol.

Don’t worry, Judicial Watch has Congress covered. We sued the Pelosi Congress for Capitol riot emails and video. We want to know what Pelosi and Schumer are hiding.

Speaking of fences and walls, let’s talk about the border. Biden is seeking open-borders amnesty by hook or by crook, with zero regard for public health and safety — or rule of law.

Biden would nationalize sanctuary policies that are not only illegal but deadly dangerous. He has launched the most significant attack on immigration law in American history. 

I could think of an article of impeachment or two for Biden’s outright refusal to enforce the law against illegal alien criminals and his policies that aid and abet human smuggling and child trafficking on the border! Biden is worse than Obama on lawless executive amnesty — and in just one month has caused a humanitarian and public health disaster on our Mexican border. 

What should be done?

End sanctuary policies — both nationally and locally. Judicial Watch is in court in California and Maryland to challenge sanctuary policies that abuse taxpayers and harm the public safety.

And just say no to amnesty! Even talking about amnesty increases illegal immigration!

I think I’ve come up with a simple solution for the immigration crisis. President Trump knew this, too. Enforce the law!

And, again, only citizens should vote. And we should change the laws to require you to prove your citizenship in order to register to vote.

There is a way forward for conservatives.

Here is the truth: The Biden administration is corrupt but weak. His party barely controls Congress. President Biden has a personal corruption problem, has obvious health challenges, must manage internal warfare between his party’s corrupt corporate wing and its rising Communists, and his moral claim on the presidency is rejected by a massive number of voters.

But there are many loser Republicans who also have contempt for our concerns about Swamp corruption, election integrity, our borders, and accountable and constitutional government. 

So, it is Judicial Watch to the rescue. We know what to do. Sue them! Demand answers! Tell the truth! Protect citizens under the law! Defend the Constitution! Expose corrupt politicians of both political parties!

As George Washington said, “Truth will ultimately prevail where pains is taken to bring it to light.”

Again, Judicial Watch is your watchdog in Washington. We go to bat for you. We represent you. We defend you. We fight for you in court against those who would deny Americans their divine birthright — the rule of law.  

God bless you and God bless America!

As the southern border crisis worsens, the latest U.S. Border Patrol figures show the agency has arrested more than twice as many criminal migrants in the first six months of fiscal year 2021 than it did in all of 2020. The fiscal year runs from October 1 to September 30 and the overwhelmed frontline agency is getting slammed with an unprecedented influx of illegal immigrants as the Biden administration extends the welcome matt. Open border groups and their allies in the administration like to portray the migrants as impoverished victims of Latin American violence desperate for a better life in the melting pot to the north.

The data tells a different story. In the first half of this fiscal year, the Border Patrol apprehended 5,018 “criminal aliens” compared to 2,438 in all of fiscal year 2020. The agency defines criminal aliens as individuals who have been convicted of one or more crimes, whether in the U.S. or abroad, prior to interdiction by federal agents. “Records checks of available law enforcement databases following the apprehension of an alien may reveal a history of criminal conviction(s),” the agency explains. “That conviction information is recorded in a U.S. Customs and Border Protection database,” which eventually is released to the public. Of interesting note is that the data, which covers fiscal years 2016 through the present, show a steady decline in criminal alien arrests during the Trump administration after a peak of 12,842 arrests in 2016 under Obama. By 2017 it dipped to 8,531 then 6,698 in 2018 and 4,260 in 2019 before the low of 2,438 last year. At this rate, the Biden administration is set to bring the number of apprehended convicted migrants back up to a new high.

The criminal aliens busted by the Border Patrol in the last few months include 982 convicted of possessing illegal drugs or trafficking, 576 convicted of assault, battery, and domestic violence, 832 guilty of driving under the influence, 381 convicted of burglary, robbery, larceny, theft, and fraud, 265 sex offenders and 162 guilty of Illegal weapons possession, transport, and trafficking. The stats also reveal that 2,765 of the criminal aliens arrested in the first half of this fiscal year were previously deported after illegal entry or illegal reentry. Additionally, seizures of methamphetamine along the Mexican border increased an astounding 91% between February and March, according to Customs and Border Patrol figures. Heroin seizures went up 22% during the same period.

The situation along the Mexican border has reached a boiling point, with a record number of illegal immigrants arriving in just a few months thanks to outrageous Biden administration policies. The barrage is crushing frontline federal agents, among them veterans who tell Judicial Watch they have never seen anything like it. This includes an unparalleled number of minors, who under federal law must be transferred to the custody of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The government classifies them as Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) and there are around 11,551—and counting—in HHS shelters and another 5,000 in the custody of the U.S. Border Patrol, according to the government. The agency funds and oversees around 170 state-licensed care facilities to house the minors when they arrive from foreign countries south of the border.

Even sleepy little towns unaccustomed to the devastating impact large influxes have on bigger cities near major crossings are being impacted by the current storm of migrants. Among them is the usually tranquil Arizona town of Sonoita, population of about 800. Judicial Watch interviewed veteran ranchers and business owners in the aftermath of a series of crimes committed by illegal aliens and human smugglers (coyotes) that left residents shocked. In just a few days there were two home invasion robberies, and two local stores were burglarized by a group of illegal immigrants who had just been released into their community by the U.S. Border Patrol in the predawn hours. The problem is only getting worse, locals say, because federal agents are overwhelmed with the onslaught of migrants and more are being released into communities near the border.

Below is our Judicial Watch press release on the most important court fight you won’t hear about:

Judicial Watch today released a transcript of the March 24 oral argument before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit challenging a lower court ruling upholding the secrecy of controversial secretly-issued congressional subpoenas for phone records by Rep. Adam Schiff, Chairman of the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, relating to the impeachment of President Trump. The appeals court hearing came after a lower court ruling in the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit, Judicial Watch v. v Adam Schiff and U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence (No. 1:19-03790)), requesting subpoenas issued by the Committee on or about September 30, 2019.

The Judicial Watch lawsuit sought the controversial impeachment-related subpoenas for phone records, including those of Rudy Giuliani, President Trump’s lawyer. Schiff and the Committee are being represented by the Office of General Counsel for the House of Representatives.

The phone records led to the publication of the private phone records of Giuliani, Congressman Devin Nunes, journalist John Solomon, Trump attorney Jay Sekulow, attorney Victoria Toensing, and other American citizens.

Schiff and the Committee claim “sovereign immunity;” “Speech or Debate Clause” privilege; immunity from FOIA and transparency law; that the records are secret; and that Judicial Watch and public do not need to see them. Judicial Watch is appealing a lower court decision suggested that Schiff and the House have “absolute” immunity from inquiries about the subpoenas.

Judicial Watch senior attorney James Peterson argued to the three-judge panel:

This case is about shedding light on unprecedented and illegitimate congressional subpoenas. The extraordinary subpoenas at issue represent a supposedly unlimited government surveillance power and an unlimited ability by Congress to, at their whim, to invade the privacy of any American.

***

Congressman Schiff secretly subpoenaed the phone records of a number of private citizens from telephone companies. He did not provide notice to these individuals in advance that their phone records were being sought. He did not subpoena the phone records directly from the citizens. Instead, he subpoenaed the phone companies for the records, preventing any opportunity for the private citizens to seek court review, as would happen in any other case in where the government is seeking this kind of information about any citizen.

In response to a House attorney’s argument that the materials be kept secret to protect the privacy of the targets of the subpoenas, one of the appellate judges remarked:

Well, I do think it’s, if not ironic, noteworthy that one of the interests you’ve just put forward is the invasion of privacy when the whole claim of Judicial Watch is that this Committee invaded the privacy of private citizens in the first place.

“The Pelosi/Schiff House asserts it has an unlimited government surveillance power and an unlimited ability to invade the privacy of any American with zero accountability and transparency,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The courts should reject Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi’s corrupt cover-up of the unconstitutional subpoenas that abused the civil rights of then-President Trump, Rudy Giuliani, journalists and other American citizens.”
