In a single week, less than two months before midterm elections, the FBI issued 40 subpoenas against former low and high-level Trump associates, including his election campaign strategist Boris Epshteyn, former New York Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik, and former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.

Their sweep also seized the cellphones of several Trump-allied attorneys, including an in-house legal counsel Mike Roman; Jeffrey Clark, whom Trump had once considered installing as attorney general; and John Eastman, a former Chapman University School of Law dean.

This latest operation, closely following an Aug. 8 pre-dawn raid on former President Donald Trump’s private residence at Mar-a-Lago by about 30 FBI agents from the Washington office, is unprecedented in our nation’s history, including a previously unthinkable invasion of Melania’s wardrobe closet and 16-year-old son Barron’s room.

No Trump attorneys were allowed to be present as they broke into a safe, which was reportedly found empty, and indiscriminately confiscated boxes of documents of personal and presidential records without any notification nor regard for what they were for or why.

Although U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland took credit for ordering this action, it must also have been approved by FBI Director Christopher Wray with a tacit “green light” from the White House.

Launching a police state assault on a leading political opposition figure just three months before critical midterm elections is a politically partisan outrage of third world banana republic proportions which will discredit public trust in the FBI for decades to come.

More troubling information regarding FBI/DOJ abuses of America’s justice system is rapidly coming to light through Special Counsel John Durham’s Grand Jury investigation and legal hearings.

It’s now clear that the FBI had conducted a “Crossfire Hurricane” espionage operation against Donald Trump’s 2016 election campaign premised upon phony Russia collusion charges which continued with tacit approval by the Obama White House after he was sworn into office.

The CIA, and most likely also the FBI, was fully aware that a purported Trump connection with a Russian Alpha Bank was cooked up by Hillary Clinton to deflect attention away from her “deleted email problem” was “not technically plausible,” but nevertheless allowed him to be continually hounded by these false allegations throughout his presidency.

Central to the murky messaging scandal was an entirely fictional salacious “pee tape” Russian hotel episode reported in “dirty dossier” materials concocted by, Igor Danchenko, a Russian disinformation agent.

The FBI knowingly put Danchenko on their payroll with confidential human source (CHS) status to keep his identity “off the grid” from discovery by Congress or Freedom of Information Act requests.

In their Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court spying filings, the agency omitted known facts that the dossier information used in 2017 to conduct surveillance on Trump campaign aid Carter Page was bogus.

Carter Page wasn’t the only Trump associate targeted.

A sting setup admitted by former FBI Director James Comey produced criminal charges that bankrupted Trump’s incoming national security director, retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, for making false statements to the FBI involving conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

The DOJ later filed a motion to dismiss, asserting that it no longer believed it could prove beyond a reasonable doubt the statements were untruthful.

There was vitriolic bias against Trump on the part of Peter Strzok who led the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation, and Lisa Page, an FBI attorney who worked with him on the defamation program.

In the run-up to the 2016 elections, when Page worried about Trump winning, Strzok wrote to her, “No, he won’t. We’ll stop it.”

Text messages between Strzok and Page also referenced a discussion with then-FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe regarding the concoction of an “insurance plan” to ensure that Trump would lose.

The contrast between FBI priorities in seeking dirt on Trump versus scooping up piles of it on Democrat opponents couldn’t be more blatant.

When the New York Post broke the story in October 2020 exposing emails on the hard drive of an abandoned Apple computer that Hunter Biden had abandoned at a Wilmington, Delaware, repair shop indicating the Biden family may have participated in illicit business deals in Ukraine, China and other countries, the FBI clearly knew the contents were real.

They had been sitting on that knowledge since December 2019, and revealed nothing throughout the election season.

Nevertheless, according to disclosures made public by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, an FBI whistleblower reported that Timothy Thibault, the FBI assistant special agent in charge of the Washington Field Office, shut down a line of inquiry into Hunter Biden in October 2020 “despite some of the details being known to be true at the time.”

We have since learned that the FBI not only buried the laptop story; the bureau also ran active interference for the Biden administration and Democratic Party in getting it banned on social media.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted during an interview on the Joe Rogan podcast that the FBI had approached his staff telling them in advance to expect a big story that the Russians had planted which he now believes was about the laptop.

Zuckerberg told Rogan: “The background here is that the FBI came to us — some folks on our team — and was like ‘Hey, just so you know, you should be on high alert. We thought there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election, we have it on notice that basically there’s about to be some kind of dump that’s similar to that’.”

Although Zuckerberg said the FBI did not warn Facebook about the Biden story in particular — Facebook thought it “fit that pattern.”

The New York Post has recently reported that someone at Facebook has been spying on the private messages and data of American users over the past 19 months and reporting them to the domestic terrorism operational unit at FBI headquarters in Washington if they express anti-government or anti-authority sentiments or question the 2020 election.

“It was done outside the legal process and without probable cause,” alleged one of the sources, who spoke on condition of ­anonymity.

Meanwhile, some rank-and-file FBI whistleblowers are accusing top bureau officials of pressuring agents to cook up domestic terrorist cases by tagging people as White supremacists to meet internal metric quotas that justify the creation of a new DOJ investigation unit.

One anonymous agent told the Washington Times, “The demand for White supremacy” coming from FBI headquarters “vastly outstrips the supply of White supremacy.”

You can be quite certain they’re not looking for Biden supporters.
