Jack Smith was plucked by the Biden-Harris administration out of the field of private legal work and made, suddenly and without congressional confirmation, a "special counsel" to run part of the Democrats' lawfare campaign against President Trump.
He ended up bringing multiple legal claims against Trump and others, including a stunt that included the FBI's SWAT raid on Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in which officers reportedly rifled through the personal possessions of Melania Trump.
But he now has a problem, in that Trump is the president-elect.
Those cases are expected to vanish at some point when the pathway to that result is determined.
But there's a signal lack of trust in the ranks of Congress that the organization Smith has set up to attack Trump will be forthcoming with all of the information it has used, so he's being told by Congress to save and protect everything.
It is House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga., who leads the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight, who have written to Smith demanding his office preserve all records surrounding the Biden-Harris administration's politicized prosecutions of Trump.
They previously had submitted to-date unfulfilled requests for information from Smith.
They now have repeated those requests for documents and communications "relating to meetings between FBI and Justice Department officials sent to or received by Jack Smith prior to the execution of the search warrant on President Trump's private residence."
They also want documents and communications referring or relating to the hiring and selection of current and former Office of Special Counsel staff members and the same regarding the "Office of Special Counsel, the Office of the Attorney General, or the Office of the Deputy Attorney General referring or relating to the investigation and prosecution of President Donald Trump."
"The Committee on the Judiciary is continuing its oversight of the Department of Justice and the Office of Special Counsel. According to recent public reports, prosecutors in your office have been 'gaming out legal options' if President Donald Trump won the election. With President Trump's decisive victory, this Counsel may attempt to purge relevant records, communications, and documents responsive to our numerous requests for information. The Office of Special Counsel is not immune from transparency or above accountability for its actions," the letter warned.
"This letter serves as a formal request to preserve all existing and future records and materials related to the Office of Special Counsel's investigations and prosecutions of President Trump. You should construe this preservation notice as an instruction to take all reasonable steps to prevent the destruction or alteration, whether intentionally or negligently, of all documents, communications, and other information, including electronic information and metadata, that are or may be responsive to this congressional inquiry. This instruction includes all electronic messages sent using official and personal accounts or devices, including records created using text messages, phone-based message applications, or encryption software."

It's official.
President Donald Trump has won election to a second term, a non-consecutive second term, in a landslide.
The official Electoral College count is 312 for Trump, 226 for Kamala Harris.
Tesla, Twitter and Space X chief Elon Musk, who had campaigned for Trump and even could be part of a new administration with responsibilities for efficiency in government, pointed out the victory was much more than just the White House.
He said it included the popular vote, the Senate, House, state governors, and more.
Arizona just declared for @realDonaldTrump, making it a clean sweep of all swing states!
Massive red wave success! It is beyond a landslide, as Republicans won:
– Presidency
– Popular vote
– Senate majority
– House majority
– State governor majority
– State legislature majority
The few states that didn’t go red are mostly ones without voter ID requirements. Must be a coincidence
This is an extremely clear mandate from the people for significant change!

Kamala Harris may be on her way out of the White House, but not necessarily the headlines, as a scandal is brewing among Democrats over a $20 million campaign debt.
This after she raked in a cool BILLION dollars to spend.
The numbers show President Donald Trump won the race by collecting $392 million and spending $345 million.
A Politico voice confirmed the $20 million debt.
And then Breitbart'sMatthew Boyle explained what has developed:
He reported the situation now is "explosive."
"A Kamala campaign staffer who saw these posts called me just now and said there is a massive scandal here worthy of an audit. The $20 million debt thing is real. Rob Flaherty, this staffer said, is currently shopping around the Kamala fundraising email list to anyone who wants it to try to raise the money back. This includes other campaigns and outside groups."
Boyle continued, "Flaherty is the deputy campaign manager and reports to Jen O'Malley Dillon. 'Jen blew through a billion dollars in a few months and it was all Jen's idea to do all the concerts.' — Kamala's campaign adviser told me This source added that O'Malley Dillon did these 'concerts,' like Katy Perry, Lizzo, Eminem, Bruce Springsteen et cetera at the expense of 'prioritizing and spending money on social media and other campaign priorities.'"
Boyle noted, "Apparently a group in Georgia had to lay off 100 people because they couldn't pay them. It's unclear at this time if the campaign PAID the talent to perform but the cost of production for the events was 'immense.' What's more, this Kamala campaign staffer said several people who were working for the Kamala Harris for President campaign are still awaiting several overdue payments they were promised for their work. IE, they didn't pay the staff."
A report at Zerohedge explained that ex-Obama adviser David Plouffe had commented about a "hole" that the campaign had, and then he deleted his account.
It was Newsweek that explained, "According to The New York Times, the Harris campaign spent 'six figures' to fly banners over four NFL games in October in an attempt to reach male voters in swing states. The Guardian reported in November that it also spent a reported $450,000 a day to have ads displayed on the Las Vegas Sphere in the swing state of Nevada. Ultimately, the messaging did not appear to hit its mark(s). Speaking to Newsweek, Mark Shanahan, an American politics expert who teaches at the University of Surrey in the U.K., said Harris 'never landed' her economic message during the presidential election campaign."

Multiple criminal cases against President-elect Donald Trump potentially could be nixed altogether thanks to his victory over his Democrat rival Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election.
Among the different branches of a years-long "lawfare" war against Trump, earlier this year he was convicted on 34 counts of falsification of business records in the first degree, a felony in the state of New York. The convictions came when a $130,000 "hush money" payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels was allegedly made by Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen, who attempted to hide the payment, in 2016.
He faced a potential prison sentence of up to four years.
However, the cases could be dropped after NBC News reported Justice Department officials have begun to evaluate how they would undo the two federal cases against Trump. This is something they must do for the department to comply with its policies so that a sitting president cannot be prosecuted.
Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung told NBC News the election victory indicates Americans have had enough of the justice system being used against them.
"Americans want an immediate end to the weaponization of our justice system," Cheung said.
The Daily Wire further reported the Department of Justice is removing Jack Smith as special counsel.
Sentencing is scheduled in New York on November 26, and according to the New York Post, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan could dismiss the case or at least freeze it until after Trump has carried out his term because the Constitution bars the president from being restricted from carrying out his duties.
Donald Trump Jr. told Fox News the Democrats' call for unity in the wake of his father's victory seems hollow after they used various departments, including the Justice Department, as weapons.
"The Democrats are calling for a unity message, but that unity message they've been calling for for the last few decades, it never really meant anything. It always felt rather shallow given that they did weaponize the Justice Department."
He added the American people had been witnessing the "nonsense" from Democrats during his father's presidency, and after.
"The weaponization of these departments was disgusting and honestly, I think it played well with the American people. After years of watching this, they still elected my father. Overwhelmingly," Trump Jr. said.
Mainstream media pundits are not happy about the case potentially being dropped, however, with CNN's chief legal affairs correspondent Paula Reid telling Jake Tapper that Trump's legal team will "try to get things delayed."
"I'm told his legal team is going to try to make sure that sentencing never happens. As we know, their usual strategy is always to try to get things delayed," Reid said, adding Trump's legal team will argue he is entitled to the same constitutional protections as a sitting president.
"The judge overseeing that case, Judge Juan Merchan, he's given himself a deadline of November 12, to decide if the conviction against Trump should be tossed based on the Supreme Court's recent ruling on immunity. If he tosses the conviction, there will be no sentencing," Reid said.
In the case before Merchan, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg took claims about Trump's business that would have been misdemeanors had they been charged before the statute of limitations expired.
Bragg then claimed they still were valid charges, and felonies at that, because of some other, unspecified crime.
Merchan, whose daughter was promoting Democrats while her father was ruling against Trump in the courtroom, then uniquely said the jurors didn't have to agree on elements of the crime to convict.

A violent octogenarian is suspected by police in Washington state of a "hate" crime after punching two supporters of President Donald Trump who were waving his political banners on a street corner during the presidential election.
The Daily Mail documented that the woman, 82, was not identified by name.
But she "was arrested on Tuesday in suburban Seattle after she allegedly approached MAGA voters Gina Powell and Mary Jennings to ask them why they would support Trump, given the color of their skin," the report said.
The suspect told police, "I approached her, and I said I want to know why you're voting for Trump. That's the only thing. And. And I said because you're brown-skinned."
The report said a judge has found probable cause for a hate crime as well as fourth-degree assault, and charges were expected.
Powell and Jennings said they were on a corner in Edmonds with other Trump supporters when the woman challenged them.
Powell explained, "I was just shocked at just the presence of mind, and she made it very clear it was my skin color. … And that's when she shoved me, pushed me back, and I said don't touch me. And then not even a second, she just popped me right in my chin."
Powell explained the attacker seemed especially upset at her shirt: "Pro-God, pro-guns, pro-life, pro-Trump."
When Jennings stepped in to separate the women, she was punched too, the report said.
"I said you have no right to touch anyone, and she goes all I did was all it was barely like this, and she punched me. … But she connected, and you know, it slammed my jaw shut."
A video shows a white-haired white woman being handcuffed and placed in a police car.
The report explained, "Powell and Jennings are part of a surge of Latino voters who got behind Trump in the 2024 election race. Trump enjoyed a 14 percent surge in Hispanic support compared to his 2020 election run."

U.S. stocks surged to record-breaking highs Wednesday after President-elect Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election against his opponent Vice President Kamala Harris.
According to a report from the New York Times, the U.S. dollar strengthened, while government bond yields soared. It is not unusual to have a buzz of activity post-election, however, analyst Kristina Hooper, chief global market strategist at Invesco, told the NYT the reaction from traders looks strong.
"What we are seeing is a visceral reaction to a surprising outcome given very tight polling … Markets are reacting positively to a decisive victory," Hooper said.
The report notes the S&P 500 rose by 2.5%, the largest in two years, while the Dow climbed by 3.6%. Smaller company tracker Russell 2000 also broke a two-year record, soaring upwards by almost 5%.
Bitcoin's value increased exponentially, reaching a record high after Trump had to make the U.S. the "crypto capital of the planet," and promised to ease the Biden administration's regulations on cryptocurrency.
Tesla stock rose by almost 15%, while the price of gold fell. Shares in private prisons were bumped up more than 40 percentage points, while sectors that support business growth like energy increased in value by 10%.
Brigg MacAdam Ltd's founding partner Greg Swenson who is based in London, said during an interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, the news of Trump's win excited investors abroad.
"Really exciting news here. You could see it in the European markets, you can see it in the Asian markets even, and so I think the 'Trump Trade' is back on, obviously. It's really in many ways, the Trump deregulation trade, and I think maybe the European countries could take a page out of Trump's playbook and think about deregulation," Swenson said.
Swenson said investors are most excited about deregulation, which has stimulated investments like Bitcoin.
Two days prior to the election, the U.S. stock market had dipped according to the Associated Press, with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq falling 0.3% respectively, while the Dow fell by 0.6% or 257 points.
While the U.S. economy seems to be on the upswing, the good fortune has "rattled" some of the U.S. biggest adversaries, including China, according to a report from Fox News.
On Trump's victory, the Chinese Foreign Ministry stated they want cooperation and peace with the U.S., and want to handle China-U.S. relations with the "principles of mutual respect."
However, experts have said that China's President Xi Jinping will be feeling "rattled" by Trump's win, and the relationship between the two nations will likely hang on three key issues; trade, technology, and Taiwan.
Hayman Capital Management founder and CIO Kyle Bass, said during an interview with Fox Business Trump will be an effective negotiator with China, after small business owners voiced concerns about how tariffs on Chinese imports – which could possibly reach 60% – on will affect their companies.
"I think it's important to note that we have had all the indications of Xi Jinping's belligerence, and his limitless partnership with Putin … The cooperation you've seen between China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, it is an axis of evil that the allied West is up against," Bass said.
Larger American companies like Dollar Tree and Dollar General have also taken a hit because they rely on Chinese goods for their stock. Bass said he has no sympathy for companies who source their materials from China.
"They've had plenty of time to kind of move their supply chain somewhere else. We have a saying in our office that if U.S. national security was left up to the private sector, we'll all be speaking Chinese tomorrow."
Bass added solid leadership is the only way America can untether itself from its "mortal enemy."
"China has shown you and shown us whether you read the director of National Intelligence's threat assessment report to Congress each year, or whether you listen to FBI Director Ray … the intelligence community, they all know who our mortal enemy is."

JERUSALEM – Israelis watched the U.S. presidential election results with almost as much interest as the country for which President Donald Trump is the presumptive next leader. After one of Israel's worst years ever – which started on Oct. 7, 2023, and has continued at various levels of intensity since, the re-election of America's 45th president has provided the country with a much needed injection of hope.
As ennui set in with regard to Joe Biden's flailing presidency – both in the United States and Israel – citizens of the Jewish state looked to Nov. 5 as a potential springboard to radically alter the momentum in the Middle East. And the early signs that President Trump's return to the White House could be a catalyst for change are already promising. So, what can Israel and Israelis expect from a second Trump term?
In general, Trump has stated he would bring an end to each of the main wars, which erupted under the watch of his successor and predecessor Biden, including the current conflict between Israel and Hamas, and Israel and Hezbollah. Some fear in his haste to conclude an agreement he might "sell out the Ukrainians," in the Ukraine-Russia war, and amid concern he might be susceptible to a Putin charm offensive, enabling Russia to keep all or at least most of its territorial gains. An overlapping group of commentators and analysts think if a deal between Israel and Hamas and/ or Hezbollah is in the offing, the Jewish state might not end up in as advantageous a position as it thought.
Meanwhile, several people have pointed to other potentially interlinked pitfalls on the horizon. Despite the domestic pressure on the outgoing Biden-Harris administration and the at-times slow-walking of munitions to Israel, the United States has kept up a relatively steady supply, enabling Israel to maintain its multi-front war. The security assistance Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), which despite his alleged animus toward the Jewish state President Obama signed in the final months of his term in office, and guaranteed Israel $3.8 billion per year in military aid, is up for renewal in 2028. Will a President Trump, entering the final stretch of the end of his second term, potentially improve this MOU when a replacement comes up for renewal? Will his aversion to foreign aid, and foreign wars, as well as a seemingly resurgent isolationist wing of the GOP, embodied by Vice President-elect JD Vance, mean Israel will be left disappointed?
In his address to the RNC in August, Trump made a forceful statement – bolder and more muscular than anything outgoing President Biden has managed in the 10-month-long war to that point. His message to the Hamas terrorist organization, which rules the Gaza strip, was very simple: ":Give back our hostages, or else." In one sentence, his words carried more threat and menace than anyone in the entire Biden administration has mustered.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was one of the first international leaders to welcome Trump's re-election, and there certainly seems to be a great deal of satisfaction at his victory.
There is no question for the most part, Netanyahu and Trump had a good working relationship, and the then-45th president of the United States' policies rebounded to Israel's benefit. However, there were elements of conflict, unsurprising when two of the world's thinner-skinned leaders, both of whom consider themselves artful deal makers, come into contact with each other. Trump was at times critical of Bibi, and according to Barak Ravid's book, "Trump's Peace: The Abraham Accords and the Reshaping of the Middle East," he accused Netanyahu of disloyalty when Israel's leader congratulated outgoing President Joe Biden on his 2020 electoral win. A lot of water has flowed under the bridge in the intervening four years, with both leaders assailed by legal challenges, for example, and it will be worth watching to see if Trump can put such an episode behind him. If Netanyahu was no longer in charge – and he is fighting tooth and nail to hang on to power, would Trump have as productive a relationship with someone other than Bibi?
Away from the personal there are reasons to think Trump's second term might be an attempt to revert to status quo ante. A number of his policies, no doubt shaped by figures such as his son-in-law Jared Kushner, Jonathan Greenblatt, and former U.S. Ambassador to Israel David M. Friedman, among others, generated momentum intended to spread peace and prosperity throughout the Middle East (and North Africa), particularly at the expense of the Islamic Republic of Iran. This is indeed one of the helpful scenarios where conjecture can give way to reality.
At the end of September 2023, outgoing National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan made one of the worst blunders in modern political history, claiming "The Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades." Eight days later Hamas invaded southern Israel and pushed – as its now deceased leader Yahya Sinwar hoped – the region, including Iran, closer to an all-out regional war. The genesis of that attack was largely caused by two disparate factors; the catastrophic U.S. pull-out from Afghanistan and Israel's deep civil strife over the judicial reforms. In fact, Joe Biden's meddling in the timing and manner of the Afghanistan retreat can also be viewed as a direct causal link for the outbreak of the Ukraine-Russia war. The counterfactual of these wars not taking place if Trump had been president is impossible to argue, but there was no sense they would have done if he had still been president.
Biden's disastrous foreign policy decisions were coupled with a complete negation of one of the first Trump administration's biggest policy wins – in both domestic and foreign terms – namely the Abraham Accords. Having decoupled normalization with Arab states from the Palestinian issue, the Trump administration – again largely through the efforts of Kushner, Greenblatt, Friedman, and others – was able to greatly advance peace in the region. Trump and his administration dismissed decades of so-called "orthodoxy" in terms of foreign policy thinking – espoused by failed leaders such as John Kerry – and diametrically opposed the notion that peace in the Middle East would flow from a solution to the Palestinian problem. The opposite was true, they argued. Show the Palestinians there are Arab and Muslim nations prepared to normalize ties with Israel and it will push them to reject their rejectionism and accept a Jewish presence in the Middle East. Trump tested the theory first on moving the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. "You'll ignite the whole Middle East," he was warned. He ignored them. And he was proved correct.
Further evidence of a previous Trump policy, which Biden unwisely undid, was the re-funding of United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine and the Near East (UNRWA). Having been persuaded once of the danger this organization – which deals solely with so-called Palestinian refugees – posed, Trump can hardly be unaware of the role its "employees" had in the rape, murder, and kidnap of Israeli soldiers and civilians during the Oct. 7 massacre. The Knesset (Israel Parliament) has already severely restricted the dealings it is prepared to have with UNRWA and its employees, it's possible one of the first foreign policy items on the Trump agenda might be to reinstitute its defunding.
The inevitable rebuilding of Gaza will be something Trump has to contend with. He is unlikely to want a Hamas-run Strip, although it's not clear how much he would want a Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen)-led Palestinian Authority to be involved.
That leaves three huge issues, which to an extent are interlinked; the potential annexation of Judea and Samaria, Iran, and Qatar. The first has been underreported because of the more visible conflicts on its south-eastern and northern border, but there is enormous concern about Israel's lengthy border with Jordan, and the extent to which Iran is fomenting violent uprising within it. An Israeli government of any stripe needs to take seriously the growing threat emanating from this region, and it is arguable – as Ambassador Friedman does in his latest book – that declaring Israel's annexation of Judea and Samaria is one potential solution. The Biden administration – despite the PA's support for Oct. 7 – has rarely diverted from its "two-state solution." Is this another issue where the prevailing orthodoxy will be proved incorrect?
How the second Trump administration tackles the Iranian global threat will likely be one of the main features of his term; and here there is much speculation. Will an increasingly marginalized Joe Biden push for one last hurrah? Will he want to go for a foreign policy win to try and cement some kind of positivity as his legacy in office? Will he enable an Israeli attack on Iran, possibly even its nuclear sites (although current military wisdom suggests it doesn't possess weighty enough munitions to carry out successful strikes), whether another ballistic missile attack emanates from Tehran or not. Trump's maximum pressure campaign on Iran was clearly working – and the Biden administration, infested with pro-Iranian elements – rolled it back, allowing the Islamic Republic to redouble its efforts at sowing chaos in the Middle East. Trump is a winner, and he'll want to wrest back the initiative from the mullahs.
And finally, what to do about Qatar. Trump has spoken of his close ties with the country's ruler Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani, whom he has described as a "friend." And since the closing of the Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan, Doha houses the Al-Udeid Air Base, home to 379th Air Expeditionary Wing, the largest and most diverse of its kind in the Air Force. There is clearly a cozy relationship between the United States and Qatar in general, and Trump and al-Thani in particular. However, Doha's role, especially in the light of both Hamas' Oct. 7 attack and being a key locus for the terrorist organization's remaining leadership (which also includes Turkey – another story in and of itself), needs to come under some scrutiny. It was the Obama White House that pressured Netanyahu to accept Qatari cash to help pay civil servants etc. and imply doing so would enable Israel a period of quiet. This broke down spectacularly on Oct. 7. The Qataris' hands are by no means clean in all of this, and they appear to be playing both sides of the ball to some extent.
It's two months until Trump takes office, yet much can change in that time – especially in this unpredictable region. It'll be a fascinating watch to see what happens next.

Read Hanne's The Herland Report.
A saint is someone who gives up his own life to serve others. He leaves behind a comfortable, secure life because of a specific calling from God that he chooses to accept, even if he knows it will catapult him into the Colosseum amphitheater of hardship, the circus where the roaring lions are waiting to devour him.
Donald Trump, so successful and wealthy, could have lived the rest of his life comfortably at the national historic landmark in Florida, Mar-a-Lago, enjoying golf and famous friends in a welcoming environment, traveling the world on expensive yachts. It would have been the epitaph of his successful life, with graceful Melania by his side.
Yet, while watching American society deteriorate, watching the corporate elite increasingly gaining control over the political establishment, assembling wealth into their own hands at the expense of the regular American worker; watching the hatred grow against the United States and its endless wars internationally, multi-polarism rising as a consequence of injustice and horrible political U.S. leadership, Donald Trump must have concluded that he was willing to lose it all in an attempt to save America from its downward spiral of corruption and greed.
The history of saints shows us the people we should admire, with qualities we should copy, since they demonstrate selflessness, strength, and obedience in taking up their cross in order to walk into the arena of wild beasts. With an exceptional degree of closeness to God, their desire is to alleviate pain, help the suffering, and mend the broken.
Yet, the saints in history were marked by imperfection. Some were former warlords and army generals, others were thieves or harlots, but they made their mark by giving it all up to attain holiness. They were willing to endure persecution, being lied about, scorned, and belittled. Many of them were killed, publicly flogged, their properties expropriated by evil emperors, or, as in the Soviet Union, by the Communist elite that tolerated no freedom of speech or opinions that differed from the atheist state narrative that permeated the propaganda media structures.
Donald Trump has become the most demonized president in U.S. history, yet now enjoys a historic comeback that will resound in the decades to come. To quote the Daily Mail, "he's been shot, sued, put on trial, written off and endlessly branded a fascist," yet "Donald Trump's resounding U.S. election victory is far more comprehensive than anyone had predicted, as he rode a wave of support from black and Latino voters to retake the White House. Donald Trump has defied his critics to crush his opponents once more."
So, what has been the main driving force behind the immense demonization of Trump? As many now comprehend, he instantly became enemy No. 1 to the established globalist elite who own the media and most of corporate America when he launched a massive attack on their growing empire. As I have pointed out in my book, "Trump. The Battle for America," this economic elite has since the 1980s profited from the outsourcing of jobs and wealth to Communist China and the ultra-rich – all at the expense of the regular American worker.
Over 90% of the U.S. media is now monopolized into only six corporations with an interest in the development of a globalist, transnational economic system that profits from the lack of national sovereignty. The globalist business model is dependent on weak nation-states that may be overrun by global corporations, crushing the middle class and local businesses.
And globalism has worked, it has reinforced an international economic model that departs from the nation-based capitalist system. It benefits the ultra-rich on an unprecedented scale.
Globalism has produced a system in which a few individuals now own most of the world's assets, made possible by its refusal to redistribute wealth when outsourcing jobs to cheap labor countries. This system depends on the open border strategy, which gives access to cheap labor and pushes down the minimum wage level; while the corporations are registered in tax havens and therefore have no tax burden to any specific country.
So, when President Joe Biden chose to label Trump's millions of supporters the "only garbage I see floating out there," he demonstrated contempt for precisely the regular workers and everyday citizens who suffer from the globalist takeover.
It is deeply problematic that the mainstream media, owned by these elitist corporations, has become a propaganda smoke screen that completely disguises these real driving forces that cause injustice and cultural deterioration in the West. With Trumpism triumphant, many now hope for a more just world and a better future.

Steven Bannon, an adviser to President Donald Trump during his first term in office, just got out of a short prison term – sent there by Democrats in Congress who demanded he provide them information about the president and his comments around the time of the Jan. 6, 2021, protest-turned-riot at the U.S. Capitol.
The information he had was covered at the time by presidential privilege, but it made no difference to the partisan committee set up by ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi which tried to find every way it could to blame Trump for that vandalism that day.
Bannon, addressing the apparent fraud in the 2020 election, spoke out after Trump's White House election was confirmed early Wednesday.
He promised those who manipulated votes, who schemed over evidence regarding Trump and others, and who were involved in what has been described as the "stolen" 2020 presidential election, that "justice" is coming.
"You deserve not retribution, justice," he said.
"But you deserve what we call rough Roman justice, and we're prepared to give it to you."
He cited Trump's decision to urge Americans to unity during his victory speech in the day's early hours.
"He may be empathetic. He may have a kind heart. He may be a good man, but we're NOT!" he warned.
A report at Revolver. news explained the Tuesday election results: "The American people rose up and took back their country in what may be the most epic political comeback in history. After enduring sham charges, assassination attempts, and an onslaught of insults no one should have to face, President Trump unleashed the ultimate political revenge on his enemies. Not only did he reclaim the White House that was stolen from him in 2020, but he stormed back with the unstoppable force of a Roman gladiator on steroids, leaving his opponents in the dust."
The "bloodbath" for Democrats included losing the White House and Senate and likely not taking the majority in the House.
"The one person who does know what hit Harris and the entire Dem Party is Steve Bannon. Fresh out of federal prison after facing down the Biden regime's sham charges, Bannon has witnessed firsthand the full-blown 'North Korea' tactics being used to silence every political dissident the Regime can get their grubby mitts on," the report warned.
It said Bannon delivered "a scorching 90-second message aimed straight at the Deep State swamp creatures who've worked tirelessly to tear this country apart."
"Bannon kicked things up a notch, taking that laser pointer and holding it right between the eyes of the Deep State, putting every last one of them on notice. The message? We're coming for you…," the report said.
The report cited the J6 prisoners, some of whom have been jailed for years for what essentially could be considered trespassing, walking into a federal building that was "closed" even though the doors were wide open, sometimes held open by security officers.
Part of the outrage for some Republicans is that the Pelosi commission, which issued a report issuing a long list of charges against Trump, concealed information that exonerated him.
Ultimately a video of Pelosi shows her confessing that she held significant responsibility for the riot, as she rejected offers by Trump at the time to have additional National Guard troops standing by to make sure no one rioted on that day, when voters were protesting the election.
That vote was subjected to outside influences from Mark Zuckerberg, who dished out $400 million to local elections officials who often used it to recruit voters from Democrat districts, and the Deep State's decision to instruct media outlets to suppress damaging information about Biden family scandals detailed in Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop.
One key member of that committee, now former Rep. Liz Cheney, of Wyoming, issued a statement that said Americans must "accept the results" of the election, "whether we like the outcome or not."
She then summoned various levels of government officials to protect democracy during Trump's coming term.
Investigative reporter Julie Kelly responded to Cheney:
"You and your committee will be investigated for fabricating evidence, tampering with witnesses, suborning perjury, and conspiring to defraud the United States and more. Get ready."
An online commenter suggested those involved in the scheming against Trump "lawyer up."

JERUSALEM – Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu extended his and his wife, Sara's, congratulations to President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, on what looks like a successful reelection bid in Tuesday's presidential race.
Netanyahu, who largely had a good working relationship with Trump when he was president between 2017-2021, despite some instances where the two countries' interests did not align, called the 45th president's reentry to the White House, "history's greatest comeback."
"Your historic return to the White House offers a new beginning for America and a powerful recommitment to the great alliance between Israel and America," he posted on X.
Israel's 11th President Isaac Herzog also congratulated Trump, calling the presumptive 47th U.S. president, "a true and dear friend of Israel, and a champion of peace and cooperation in our region."
Official opposition leader Yair Lapid also extended his felicitations to Trump, remarking he had "time and again shown himself to be a true friend of Israel."
