A lot of accusations have been made against Democrats, particularly Barack Obama and his henchmen, John Brennan, James Comey and James Clapper, about what they did after President Donald Trump was elected to his first term to try to undermine him.
Russiagate, the Steele dossier, FISA warrants and a thousand other things may come into play.
But in essence newly declassified documents suggest they worked together to try to set up a campaign that would undermine the first term for the nation's duly elected president, and possibly prevent him from being re-elected.
Multiple referrals have been made already to the Department of Justice.
But now an expert, Mike Davis of the Article II Project, has confirmed the Democrats are unlikely to get a lot of protection from legal arguments like the statute of limitations, or even Obama's status as president when the events started developing.
In an interview with Benny Johnson, Davis explained Obama, "might be able to claim presidential immunity for his actions while he was the president of the United States, and they'll have to litigate that. It's unclear whether he'll ultimately get presidential immunity for this. But I'll tell you this: it's an ongoing criminal conspiracy. And presidential immunity covers his actions while he's the president of the United States.
"They don't cover his actions when he's the former president of the United States. And when he's participating in the cover-up of this conspiracy, then he doesn't have presidential immunity."
And about that statute of limitations, which for federal crimes generally is five years?
"Back in 2016, you had President Obama, and then-Vice President Joe Biden, and Clapper, and Comey, and Brennan, and so many other goons make up the Russian collusion hoax. They worked with Hillary's campaign, the DNC. You had Perkins Coie law firm. You made up the Steele Dossier. You made up the Russian collusion hoax. You were lying. You said that Trump and his campaign were colluding with the Russians to steal the 2016 election. You fed this to the FISA Court as bogus evidence. So you lied to the FISA Court. You got an illegal spy warrant from this federal court. You spied on then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. You continued to spy on Donald Trump when he was the president of the United States. You used his own FBI and his own CIA and other intel agencies to hobble his presidency.
"I remember when I went to the Senate Judiciary Committee at the beginning of his administration in 2017, and everyone was running around, including Senate Republicans, saying that Trump is a Russian asset because of this Russian collusion hoax."
The bottom line:
"So you say, 'Oh, this was 2016. We're well beyond the statute of limitations.' Guess what? You're not, because this is an ongoing criminal conspiracy. When you conspire, in order for the conspiracy to stop, you have to disavow — the conspiracy, the ends of the conspiracy have to end. It happens. They are covering up the conspiracy."

A legal team at the Institute for Justice has dispatched a demand letter to officials in the town of Greers Ferry, Arkansas, insisting that they take down a surveillance camera that watches an innocent family 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The family, explains IJ lawyer Joshua Windham, "cannot enter or leave their own driveway without the city's camera capturing a picture of their movements."
The case involves Charlie and Angie Wolf, and the city's spy program.
The city contracted with a company to install automatic license plate readers, and the Flock Safety company did so, putting one just weeks ago across the street from the Wolfs' home and pointing it at them.
"As positioned, the camera captures their driveway and a good portion of their front yard," the IJ reported.
"After the camera was installed, Charlie reached out to the police chief to express his concerns and was told 'it's not moving.' The following month, the couple sent a letter to city council raising Fourth Amendment concerns and asking officials, once again, to move the camera. Then, in July, Charlie appeared before the city council to reiterate his concerns. At that meeting, city officials doubled down on their stance. City Attorney Blake Spears told Charlie: 'If you want the camera moved, my suggestion would be to get a court order,' and Police Chief Kallen Lacy added: 'We have no plans to move the camera,'" the IJ reported.
Among the concerns, Charlie Wolf said, is that, "Every time me, my family, friends, children or grandchildren come to, leave, play in the front yard or try to enjoy our private property, we are being photographed and added to a database without consent or violation of any law."
Windham said, "Simply put, the city has put the Wolfs under a state of constant surveillance, where they're effectively being treated as criminal suspects, even though they've done nothing wrong."
Of course the city has obtained no warrant for its spying.
The legal team pointed that already two state supreme Courts have concluded putting a surveillance camera in front of a home for months without a warrant is unconstitutional.
"Even if the camera wasn't located directly in front of the Wolfs' home, the decision to place several Flock cameras throughout the city may still violate the Fourth Amendment," the IJ pointed out. "In Carpenter v. United States, the United States Supreme Court ruled that using cell phone location data to retrace a person's past movements was a search that requires a warrant. Using cameras to capture the movements of every person who drives through the city is also a search that requires a warrant under the Fourth Amendment."
The team pointed out that the Flock system already is being challenged in court for its presence in another city.
There a federal court denied that city's attempt to get the case dismissed "because the plaintiffs had plausibly alleged 'an injury caused by [the] installation and operation of the Flock camera'" and 'that a violation of [their] Fourth Amendment rights occurred.'"

Fed-up with "bad people" pushing for the release of files on convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, President Donald Trump on Wednesday unleashed a furious tirade against his own supporters, saying he no longer wants their support.
"I don't want their support anymore!" Trump exclaimed on Truth Social.
"My PAST supporters have bought into this 'bullsh**,' hook, line, and sinker."
His full statement reads:
"The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again! Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steele Dossier, the lying 51 "Intelligence" Agents, the Laptop from Hell, which the Dems swore had come from Russia (No, it came from Hunter Biden's bathroom!), and even the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam itself, a totally fake and made up story used in order to hide Crooked Hillary Clinton's big loss in the 2016 Presidential Election, these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at – It's all they have – They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates.
Also, unlike Republicans, they stick together like glue. Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this "bullsh**," hook, line, and sinker. They haven't learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years.
I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country's history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax. Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don't even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don't want their support anymore! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Trump also told reporters Tuesday: "I don't understand it, why they'd be so interested. He's dead for a long time. He was never a big factor in terms of life, I don't understand what the interest or what the fascination is."
"It's pretty boring stuff. It's sordid, but it's boring. And I don't understand why it keeps going. I think really only pretty bad people including fake news want to keep something like that going. But credible information, let 'em give it. Anything that's credible, I would say let them have it."
He also said just before flying to Pittsburgh that U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi should release more files if they were "credible."
"It's gonna be up to her. Whatever she thinks is credible, she should release," Trump said, adding Bondi "has handled it very well."
On Wednesday, online journalist Nick Sortor noted: "I'm not sure this whole Epstein debacle could've been handled any worse."
Meanwhile, U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., is now demanding a special counsel to probe the Epstein case.
"We need a special counsel. That has got to happen," she told journalist Benny Johnson.
"I hope it doesn't become a false idol to Republicans where we just lose sight of everything else, but that doesn't mean we don't want answers."
House Oversight Chair James Comer of Kentucky urged Bondi on Tuesday to begin exposing and arresting individuals connected to the Epstein network and its cover-up.
"Take the ball and run with it," Comer told Johnson. "People want to see accountability.
"There have been a lot of investigations. The Deep State has been exposed thanks to [CIA Director John] Ratcliffe and [FBI Director] Kash Patel. Let's start prosecuting these people. Let's set some examples out of some people."
Also speaking with Johnson, Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia debunked a false narrative that House Republicans unanimously voted to block the release of the Epstein files.
"That is not true," she said, explaining it was merely a procedural vote to preclude Democrats from gaining control of the House floor.
"That means they could bring up anything. They could bring up impeachment articles against President Trump. They could bring up a whole package of insane, Democrat-agenda items and force votes on the House floor on these things."

President Donald Trump is blasting his longtime political critic Adam Schiff, calling the Democrat senator from California "a scam artist" in the wake of new mortgage-fraud allegations.
In a Truth Social post Tuesday, Trump said: "I have always suspected Shifty Adam Schiff was a scam artist.
"And now I learn that Fannie Mae's Financial Crimes Division have concluded that Adam Schiff has engaged in a sustained pattern of possible Mortgage Fraud.
"Adam Schiff said that his primary residence was in MARYLAND to get a cheaper mortgage and rip off America, when he must LIVE in CALIFORNIA because he was a Congressman from CALIFORNIA.
"I always knew Adam Schiff was a Crook. The FRAUD began with the refinance of his Maryland property on February 6, 2009, and continued through multiple transactions until the Maryland property was correctly designated as a second home on October 13, 2020.
"Mortgage Fraud is very serious, and CROOKED Adam Schiff (now a Senator) needs to be brought to justice."
On Saturday, Schiff slammed Trump and his Department of Justice on MSNBC, saying: "Their modus operandi, and it comes from the top, the fish rots from the head, is Donald Trump whose real view, his life view, is yes he's crooked and yes he's a liar, but everyone is crooked, everyone is a liar, everybody does it. It's just that he's the crook and the liar of the GOP."
As WorldNetDaily reported in April, Schiff, most famous for leading impeachment efforts against Trump over disproven Russian collusion claims, announced he was writing to the White House to demand answers about allegations of insider trading.
In January, Schiff was caught on video sleeping during a Pam Bondi hearing.

Faith-based organizations now are eligible to apply for emergency loans from the Small Business Administration, just like any other group across the nation, the SBA said in an announcement.
"The SBA is committed to ending the era of weaponized government that has systematically discriminated against Americans of faith – even denying them access to vital disaster relief in times of tragedy," SBA chief Kelly Loeffler said in a statement shared with the Washington Examiner.
The report said they are eliminating a rule that previously had barred faith-based organizations from that loan program.
Loeffler said, "We are thrilled to announce our first-ever Center for Faith at the SBA to improve access to agency resources for the faith community, ensuring that all SBA programs are accessible to eligible Americans regardless of their religious affiliation. We are proud to uphold the principles of religious freedom that our nation was founded on – and look forward to forging lasting relationships that bring new small businesses into the SBA ecosystem."
The SBA called the previous rule the "Biden ban" even though the practice predated Biden's regime.
"The first Trump administration would not enforce existing SBA regulations on 'businesses principally engaged in teaching, instructing, counseling or indoctrinating religion or religious beliefs' that had been ineligible for SBA loans," the report said.
The decision was prompted by a 2016 Supreme Court ruling that confirmed a religion-based Missouri preschool and daycare could not be denied public benefits due to its religious component.
The federal funds are sought after tragedies because of the lower interest rates and better financing options than available from private lenders.

A political organization called Evangelicals for Harris, now renamed Evangelicals for America following Kamala Harris' catastrophic presidential election loss in 2024, has posted online a multipage apology for improperly using Billy Graham's image for their politics.
The organization had used images of the late Christian leader who was in the confidence of presidents for the last 50 years in promoting Harris, who advocated deliberately for the transgender and LGBT ideologies that many Christians find unbiblical and objectionable.
The Billy Graham Evangelical Associated pointed out the misuse, and abuse of copyright law, and a year later the Harris organization has apologized.
The online apology admits that the organization used clips of Rev. Graham without permission and claimed they weren't trying to "give the impression that Rev. Graham would have taken a side in publicly supporting one political candidate over another."
The group concedes that Graham "never politicized the Gospel of Jesus Christ or the works he created through BGEA."
"We appreciate the spirit in which BGEA has approached this matter … and we affirm its intellectual property rights including copyright in these videos, and its missional interest in protecting Rev. Graham's legacy."
It continued, "We have taken down and will not repost our ads that incorporated video clips of Rev. Billy Graham…"
Not the Bee explained, "The long and short of it is that they used these clips of Billy Graham, but didn't get permission from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) to use them in their political attack ads. To avoid being sued into oblivion for lifting these clips and using them for partisan purposes to support an abortion-loving Democratic candidate, they've apologized."
When the dispute arose, WND had reported on Billy Graham's lifelong interactions with presidents, of both political parties:
He was offered government posts by Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon, and politely said no.
Harry S. Truman not only met with Graham, he received him as his Independence, Missouri, home. Dwight Eisenhower asked him about sending troops into Little Rock during a time of civil unrest. John F. Kennedy met with Graham before he was inaugurated.
Graham was invited to the Johnson family ranch multiple times, and spent more than 20 nights in the White House during his presidency. Graham had known Nixon for years, and the president often asked Graham to pray with him. Gerald Ford explained, "I've heard the comments from some sources that Billy mixes politics with religion. I never felt that and I don't think that thousands and thousands of people who listen to him felt that."
Jimmy Carter was an honorary chair of an Atlanta Crusade by Billy Graham back in his day, Ronald Reagan once said, "It was through Billy Graham that I found myself praying even more than on a daily basis … and that in the position I held, that my prayers more and more were to give me the wisdom to make decisions that would serve God and be pleasing to Him." George H. W. Bush called Graham "an inspiration in my life."
Bill Clinton credited Billy Graham with refusing to racially segregate a crusade audience. George W. Bush said a turning point in his faith came during a private talk with Billy Graham in 1985. Graham said he was pleased to have had Barack Obama visit in his home.
At the time, Franklin Graham, Billy Graham's son and now chief of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said, "The liberals are using anything and everything they can to promote candidate Harris. They even developed a political ad trying to use my father Billy Graham's image to help promote her—or rather to try to make Donald J. Trump look bad.
"They are trying to mislead people. Maybe they don't know that my father was a firm supporter of President Trump in 2016. He appreciated the conservative values and policies of President Trump, and if he were alive today, my father's views and opinions would not have changed.
"President Trump isn't perfect—none of us are—but I believe he has changed over the years. This recent assassination attempt has had a huge impact on him—and I thank God that his life was spared."

There long have been claims, including some that are fairly wild, about the exhaust trails from passenger jets traveling over the United States.
Deliberate distribution of chemicals to change the weather, to alter populations, even for mind control.
Now Lee Zeldin, the chief of the Environmental Protection Agency in the administration of President Donald Trump, has announced an online posting with explanations.
In his video message, he said the new web pages were posted to inform "anyone who's ever looked up to the streaks in the sky and asked, 'What the heck is going on?'"
A report in the New York Post said the facts debunk claims, including some from Zeldin's fellow Republicans, that contrails are actually "chemtrails" that are deliberately being used to distributed … something.
"We did the legwork, looked at the science, consulted agency experts, and pulled in relevant outside information to put these online resources together," Zeldin said. "Everything we know about contrails to solar geoengineering will be in there."
The EPA says the "contrails," or condensation trails, are common clouds created by the exhaust from high-altitude jets and can be seen "for the same reason that you can see the exhaust from your vehicle or your own breath on a cold day."
The EPA states, "The federal government is not aware of there ever being a contrail intentionally formed over the United States for the purpose of geoengineering or weather modification."
There are such distributions, the agency confirms, when low-altitude, propeller driven airplanes are used to distribute chemicals for firefighting, or farming, an industry that uses a variety of weed and pest controls.
Further, he said, despite headline claims about private individuals or government operations trying to "blot out the sun in the name of stopping global warming" are made up.
The report said, "Only one private company, South Dakota-based Make Sunsets, has experimented in the U.S. with solar geoengineering through what is known as stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) and marine cloud brightening (MCB) to potentially lower the Earth's temperature."
But there have been plans that used processes like cloud seeding to modify the weather.
Most cloud seeding is carried out to learn how to combat heavy droughts and is "primarily funded at the state or local level," the GAO has reported.
Rep. Marjorie Taylore Green, R-Ga., has promised legislation to ban releasing substances into the atmosphere in attempts to alter the weather, and HHS chief Robert F. Kennedy Jr. responded to a viral video by promising to "stop" such activity.

After "two incredible years" at the helm of Elon Musk's popular X social media platform, CEO Linda Yaccarino is stepping down.
In a post on X Wednesday, she said: "When @elonmusk and I first spoke of his vision for X, I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime to carry out the extraordinary mission of this company. I'm immensely grateful to him for entrusting me with the responsibility of protecting free speech, turning the company around, and transforming X into the Everything App.
"I'm incredibly proud of the X team – the historic business turn around we have accomplished together has been nothing short of remarkable.
"We started with the critical early work necessary to prioritize the safety of our users—especially children, and to restore advertiser confidence. This team has worked relentlessly from groundbreaking innovations like Community Notes, and, soon, X Money to bringing the most iconic voices and content to the platform. Now, the best is yet to come as X enters a new chapter with @xai.
"X is truly a digital town square for all voices and the world's most powerful culture signal. We couldn't have achieved that without the support of our users, business partners, and the most innovative team in the world. I'll be cheering you all on as you continue to change the world."
Despite no reason cited for her departure, Yaccarino's announcement comes one day after X's Grok chatbot published a series of anti-Semitic posts, prompting the company to shut down its ability to issue text replies.
NBC News reported: "It wasn't the first time Yaccarino had to handle issues around antisemitism on the platform as CEO.
"In 2023, she had to weather the fallout after Musk shared an antisemitic conspiracy theory that Jewish groups were part of a coordinated plot to spread anti-White hate. Musk's posts caused a wave of advertiser departures from the platform, which Yaccarino was tasked with managing."
"Yaccarino stood by Musk's side and defended him even as Musk continued to take actions that were contrary to her statements. In August 2023, Yaccarino met with the Anti-Defamation League's Jonathan Greenblatt to discuss how to address antisemitic hate on X. Days later, Musk began "liking" content related to the #BanTheADL hashtag led by far-right figures on the platform. It was one of several instances in which Musk appeared to publicly sidestep and undermine Yaccarino's work."
In a brief note, Elon Musk told Yaccarino: "Thank you for your contributions."
X remains the top news app in America since Musk purchased the company.

Life just got a bit easier for those rushing to catch a plane at one of America's busy airports.
At Ronald Reagan National Airport in D.C. Tuesday, DHS Secretary announced that the Transportation Security Administration will no longer require any passengers to remove their shoes at security checkpoints.
The requirement has been in place for most passengers since 2006, part of the reaction to an attempted terrorist attack in which a passenger tried to ignite explosives in his shoes during a 2001 flight.
An email from the TSA about the news conference said the new policy would "make screening easier for passengers, improve traveler satisfaction and will reduce wait times."
Most people have had to take their shoes off for airport screening for nearly two decades after a passenger tried to ignite explosives in his shoes during a 2001 flight.

A social media personality is learning there are consequences to accusing a Christian camp, Camp Mystic, of being racist.
The web influencer has blasted "people who are donating and helping find the missing girls" in the Texas tragedy that resulted from a sudden downpour and a flash flood. More than 80 people, include dozens of children, have died as a result.
Libs of TikTok labeled the comments, "One of the sickest things I've ever seen."
An update suggested the commenter was being removed, permanently, from a Houston city board to which she had been appointed.
She said:
I know I'm probably going to get canceled for this but Camp Mystic is a whites-only girls Christian camp. They don't even have a token Asian. They don't have a token black person. It is a (sic) all-white white-only, conservative Christian camp. If you ain't white, you ain't right. You ain't getting' in. You ain't goin'. Period. And I think that context needs to be said in this matter. It's not to say that we don't want the girls to be found, whatever girls are missing or whatever right now. But you best believe, especially in today's political climate, if this were a group of Hispanic girls, especially with them being in east Texas, should be, most likely Hispanic, if this were a group of Hispanic girls out there, this would not be getting the type of coverage that they're getting. No one would give a f***. And all of these white people, the parents of these little girls would be saying things like they need to be deported, they shouldn't have been here in the first place, and yada, yada.
And before ya'll come at me. Before ya'll start leaving hate comments on my page about Oh these are just kids and they don't know no better (garble). Parents of these children who are choosing, and it is a choice in 2025. It is definitely a freaking choice. And to go into east G** **** Texas and to a (sic) all-white enclave, exclusionary, just for white people, with all the black people in east Texas, with all the Hispanic people in east Texas, somehow, some way, you have carved out an all-white, white only enclave, in east Texas, for your white children. Yah, I have a problem with that. I have a big problem with that. Once again, this is no shade to the girls. I hope they all get found, but once again, ya'll have to understand the climate that we're living in. They want you to have sympathy for these people. They want you to get out of your bed and come outta your home and go find these people, donate your money to go find these people. Meanwhile, they are deporting your family members, meanwhile, they are setting up concentration camps, and prisons for your family members. And I need ya'll to keep that in mind, before y'all get out there and put on your rain boots, and go find little girls.
Social media identified her as Sade Perkins.
Others posted images online showing that the camp is, in fact, not "whites-only."
Reports revealed Perkin's Tik Tok account soon was "down."
