‘Agent Zero’

Whistleblown away
Whistleblowers have informed Grassley that Giardina “openly stated his desire to investigate Trump, even if it meant false predication” as a result of of his hostility to the previous and future president.
Grassley believes this electronic mail chain is one other “clear example” of how the federal law enforcement equipment was weaponized to strive to “get Trump” in any respect prices.
“Instead of focusing on DOJ and FBI’s core law enforcement responsibilities,” Grassley informed the Post, “partisan prosecutors and agents were surfing the web to find any shred of information they could use to spin another baseless case against Trump. Their actions are a disservice to Americans, who pay their salaries and depend on DOJ and FBI to keep them safe.”
Grassley, referred to as the “patron saint of whistleblowers,” is working with FBI director Kash Patel and his deputy Dan Bongino to ferret out the lawfare correspondence hidden at FBI headquarters and finger the culprits behind the anti-Trump lawfare of the previous eight years.
Patel additionally this week gave Grassley an FBI intelligence report alleging Chinese involvement in forging American driver’s licenses meant to be used for pretend mail-in ballots supporting Biden within the 2020 election.
Whistleblowers had informed Grassley that the FBI memo had been recalled after it was issued and no additional motion was taken, although Customs and Border Protection seized virtually 20,000 pretend licenses three months earlier than the election.
“Thanks to the oversight work and partnership of Chairman Grassley, the FBI continues to provide unprecedented transparency,” Patel informed Just the News, which first reported on the CCP election plot.
“To that end, we have located documents Chairman Grassley requested.”
“My investigative work won’t rest,” Grassley informed the Senate on Wednesday. “There’ll be much more coming from this senator.”
Among the costs Smith, Cooney, Giardina and friends had been attempting to drum up in opposition to Trump over his conduct on Jan. 6, 2021, had been conspiracy to defraud the US, obstruction of an official continuing and potential violations of the Insurrection Act.
Ultimately, they failed.
Trump comprehensively received the 2024 election, Smith was pressured to drop the Jan. 6 and Mar-a-Lago circumstances in opposition to him — and Trump fired his group, focused their law corporations and pardoned each Jan. 6 defendant.
