Donald Trump can’t stop taking advice from Judicial Watch President (and definitely not a lawyer) Tom Fitton — and it’s driving his attorneys crazy. According to a report from The Washington Post, who spoke to seven Trump advisers familiar with the behind-the-scenes events of Trump’s indictment by the Justice Department, the former president repeatedly ignored the counsel of his lawyers in favor of Fitton’s advice.
According to the report, lawyers for the former president pleaded with him to cooperate with investigators looking to recover the hundreds of...

Donald Trump just needs a few names.
In recent months, the former president has asked close advisers, including at least one of his personal attorneys, if “we know” all the names of senior FBI agents and Justice Department personnel who have worked on the federal probes into him. That’s according to two sources with direct knowledge of the matter and another person briefed on it.
Trump has then privately discussed that should he return to the White House, it is imperative his new Department of Justice “quickly” and “immediately...

Some of Donald Trump’s lawyers and top advisers have given the former president an unwelcome, if not unexpected message in recent weeks: You should expect to get indicted this year.
Again.
This month, several legal and political counselors to Trump have bluntly informed him that they expect the Justice Department to charge him in the criminal investigation into his hoarding of highly classified documents following the end of his presidency, two sources familiar with the matter tell Rolling Stone. The feds have also been probing whether or not Trump...

Donald Trump’s political allies are preparing an all-out blitz against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, judge Juan Merchan, and anyone else in the American judicial system who dares cross him. But as his political operation gears up, the former president’s own lawyers are pleading with him to show a modicum of restraint.
Trump’s defenders and several trusted associates are working up game plans to “fight dirty” against Bragg and the judge, a person close to Trump says. In practice, that means treating Bragg like a partisan rival during campaign season,...

In a tweet that shocked absolutely no one, Elon Musk instructed his sycophants to vote Republican in the midterm elections. The man who took over a company and immediately fired its board of directors and half its staff argued to his followers that “shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties.”
To independent-minded voters:
Shared power curbs the worst excesses of both parties, therefore I recommend voting for a Republican Congress, given that the Presidency is Democratic.

The call to action comes after Musk tweeted in April,...

Just six days into Elon Musk’s reign over Twitter, prominent conservative pundits and commentators who lauded his acquisition of the platform as an opportunity to reshape it in their own image have started to turn on the Tesla billionaire.
On Friday, Musk announced that content moderation decisions would be made by a “council,” later tweeting to Twitter Head of Safety Yoel Roth that he had met with “civil society leaders,” including the Anti-Defamation League’s Jonathan Greenblatt, Color of Change President Rashad Robinson, and The Asian American Foundation CEO Norman Chen,...

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy.) said at the top of the Jan. 6 committee’s final public hearing that former President Trump had a “premeditated” plan to contest the election results, before he even lost. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) expounded on those plans, plans of which former Trump adviser Steve Bannon seemed to be keenly aware.
“What Trump’s gonna do, is he’s going to declare victory,” Bannon told a group of associates. “That doesn’t mean he’s the winner. He’s just going to say he’s the winner.

Johnny Depp won his defamation case against ex-wife Amber Heard on Wednesday, bringing an end to a lengthy trial chock-full of allegations of abuse against both the Pirates of the Caribbean actor and Heard.
The trial was ugly both inside and outside the courtroom, and, over the course of nearly two months, support for Depp became something of a stand-in for a rejection of the #MeToo movement, as well as of feminism more broadly. Republicans couldn’t resist riding the wave. Here’s the House Judiciary GOP’s Twitter account,...

Freshly acquitted of impeachment charges, President Trump has circled back around to complaining about the Mueller investigation. Last week it was what he deemed a too-harsh sentencing recommendation for former adviser Roger Stone, as well as the Justice Department’s decision not to prosecute former FBI Director Andrew McCabe. This week he’s broadened his attacks to include everyone involved in the special counsel’s investigation. They all need to be investigated, Trump has telegraphed to his tens of millions of Twitter followers.
Attorney General William Barr is reportedly not happy.

It’s Saturday, and like other hard-working executives, President Donald Trump is out on the links, polishing his golf game.
The Trump International Golf Course in Sterling, Va is the setting for today’s match. No word yet on the President’s partners in the excursion. But since it’s Armed Forces Day, the Commander-in-Tweet did find time to do a shout-out to the men and women who defend the country.
We’ll update the tweetstorm as more undoubtedly rolls in.
The tweetstorm so far:
….for Life in 2020. If we are foolish and do not stay United as one, all of our hard fought gains for Life can, and will, rapidly disappear!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 19, 2019
….Federal Judges (many more to come), two great new Supreme Court Justices, the Mexico City Policy, and a whole new & positive attitude about the Right to Life. The Radical Left, with late term...

President Donald Trump continued his retweet rampage of the weekend today, but found time to warn that the witch hunt has now shifted to finding the witches on the other side of the aisle.
The Commander-in-Tweet was pointed in his remarks, noting that he had an Attorney General willing to go after the truth behind the Mueller investigation’s origins. He also took a few digs at China, which is under pressure to conclude a new trade agreement and get its import tariffs lifted.
The tweetstorm so far:
The @realDonaldTrump effect on the 2020 Senate Map:
Chuck Schumer is 0-7 in recruiting Senate challengers!https://t.co/XQqCfydEqg

Republicans and @realDonaldTrump are delivering for Americans:
*6M new jobs
*Unemployment at 3.6%, the lowest since 1969.
Meanwhile, Democrats are fantasizing over baseless impeachment, government-run health care, and the socialist Green New Deal.

Judicial Watch, a nonprofit group that rose to prominence after suing the Clinton administration about 18 times in the 1990s, has demanded that the U.S. government turn over all records pertaining to Dinesh D’Souza’s movie 2016: Obama’s America as well as his upcoming film, America, hoping to discover whether the conservative filmmaker was targeted by federal agents for retribution. If Judicial Watch does not get what it seeks in about 30 days, it will sue the U.S. government, said the organization’s president, Tom Fitton.

White House wanted to back 'gutsy' portrayal of Us president in new Kathryn Bigelow film Zero Dark Thirty, claims Judicial Watch
Newly released documents prove that Barack Obama's administration gave enthusiastic help to the Oscar-winning team behind a new film about the killing of Osama bin Laden, according to a rightwing Us government watchdog.
Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal's new film Zero Dark Thirty centres on the Us Navy Seal unit that raided Bin Laden's compound in northern Pakistan in May 2011 on the orders of the Us president. The project drew flak from Republicans earlier this year after it emerged that Obama's administration shared information with the production team.
The latest missives were obtained by the Judicial Watch group under the Us freedom of information act. "These new documents provide more backing to the serious charge that the Obama administration played fast and loose with national security information to help Hollywood filmmakers,...
