Jonathan Turley: The Supreme Court will have problems with this indictment
Jack Smith wasn’t approved by the Senate to indict anyone. The left grabbed him off the street and put him in this position to play the scarecrow representing the Democratic Party.
It is time for the Republicans to stop playing children games and do an about face and put the Democrat/Marxists in jail. Zuckerberg said he colluded with the whole Biden Administration starting in 2020 election. That is a crime.
Time for Judicial Watch to help us out by starting a process to stop the left’s crimes instead of watching Jack Smith still trying to hog tie President Trump as they continue to file these frivolous law suits which is a crime in itself.
Sure it is to deflect Zuckerberg’s announcing HE AND THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION COLLUDED SINCE THE 2020 ELECTION – that includes Pelosi/Harris/et al (the whole party).
Former federal prosecutor Katie Cherkasky joins ‘Fox & Friends’ to argue Special Counsel Jack Smith’s latest indictment against former President Trump is a ‘pure headline grab’ in the middle of the 2024 campaign season.
****
The Biden/Democrats/Pelosi/Obama/Harris have colluded with Zuckerberg and cheated in the 2020 election and have been colluding since. It is time for the people responsible for following up to do their job.
If that is the case – they are not eligible to run in 2024.
(The Center Square) – Ongoing problems identified in the administration of elections in Harris County, the largest county in Texas, are enough to warrant state intervention, Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson says.
After Harris County election administrators acted “in defiance of state law,” Nelson said she determined an “enhanced presence by the Secretary’s office” was necessary for the November 2024 election.
As a result, SOS Elections Division staff will assist Harris County officials “for the duration of the election period from early voting, to Election Day, and through tabulation.”
Nelson released the findings of audits on Monday that her office conducted in four counties for the 2021-2022 election cycle. They were conducted in compliance with state law that requires four counties’ election processes to be randomly audited according to population size.
Cameron, Eastland, Guadalupe and Harris counties were audited; their reports are available on the SOS website. Officials in Cameron, Eastland and Guadalupe counties were commended for the processes they put in place and are in compliance with state law, according to the SOS.
The audits were released after Nelson sent warnings and guidances to local election officials and after Gov. Greg Abbott announced more than 1.1 million people were removed from Texas’ voter rolls.

“Texas’ audit process provides accountability and insight into how elections are conducted on a county level to ensure the integrity of our elections,” Nelson said. “While each audit is specific to a county, they include lessons for election officials across the state and offer voters the reassurance that our state’s election processes are thoroughly reviewed.”
Harris County officials were the only ones in the four audits to receive a rebuke.
“In defiance of state law, Harris County failed to estimate and issue the required amount of ballot paper resulting in interruptions in voting in at least 19 polling locations in the November 2022 Election,” the 108-page audit report states. Harris County officials also “failed to properly train its election workers to operate new voting equipment, resulting in widespread voting equipment failures in multiple elections. … In numerous elections, required paperwork from polling locations was incomplete and failed to meet the requirements outlined in law.”
The report notes that Harris County officials also didn’t follow state law to properly maintain its voter rolls and “failed to keep an accurate list of registered voters in their county records.” Maintaining the list in county records has since been addressed and corrected, according to the report.
After multiple widespread election administration failures in the 2022 elections, the Attorney General’s Office issued demands of county officials, several groups sued to block what they argued were illegal voting policies, and in 2023 the Texas legislature passed election reform measures. Abbott signed two bills into law that directly impacted Harris County, forcing it to revert back to a previous process that had been used to administer its elections. The county filed lawsuits to block the laws from going into effect, which all failed.
The laws were enacted after the Democratic county judge and commissioners created a new elections administrator position and office to replace two offices that for years oversaw election administration. The Office of the Tax Assessor-Collector oversaw voter registration duties and the County Clerk’s office handled election administration duties.
Under the first election’s administrator, Isabel Longoria, more than 10,000 ballots were lost and not counted in the March 2022 primary election, prompting lawsuits and forcing her to resign. Under the second administrator, Clifford Tatum, 19 judges lost their races and sued, citing multiple irregularities in their districts. After the county spent more than $50 million on election equipment and processes, multiple precincts reported not having enough ballots, election sites weren’t open, voters were turned away, among other issues, The Center Square reported.
The new law eliminated the Elections Administration position and office. Despite this change, the extent of issues identified in SOS audits of Harris County elections administration necessitate “that an enhanced presence by the Secretary’s office is necessary for the November 2024 election,” Nelson said.
To ensure irregularities don’t occur, SOS state inspectors have been assigned to Harris County “to perform checks on election records, including tapes and chain-of-custody, and will observe the handling and counting of ballots and electronic media during the November 2024 election period.”
SOS Elections Division staff will be in the county “for the duration of the election period from early voting, to Election Day, and through tabulation.”
This is after SOS inspectors were sent to the county in 2022 after numerous voting irregularities were reported and the SOS began auditing the county’s 2020 election procedures, The Center Square reported.
The latest preliminary audit of the county’s election process was released prior to the November 2023 Constitutional Amendment Election. It brought attention “to alarming issues with elections administration that needed to be addressed immediately,” Nelson said.

Biden’s plan ‘from the beginning’ was to get illegal migrants here voting: Ken Paxton
One of the nation’s oldest civil rights organizations plans to seek federal legal action after Texas officials executed searches and seizures relating to alleged illegal ballot harvesting ahead of the 2024 election.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican, announced that his office’s Election Integrity unit had executed searches in three South Texas counties last week as part of his ongoing probe.
Paxton said the unit had been working since 2022 to investigate fraud and ballot harvesting allegations, which led to enough evidence to obtain warrants.
However, officials at LULAC – the League of United Latin American Citizens – alleged the warrant searches constituted “raids” and wrongly targeted elderly longtime volunteers who were engaged in lawful ballot collection.
LULAC National President Roman Palomares said he is hoping to go to Washington to meet with Justice Department officials who handle civil rights cases. Palomares alleged that “100%” of those targeted were of Latino or minority ethnicity.
“Two or three of our members were [subject to the searches], and they’re certified [voter] registrants,” he told Fox News Digital. “These are regular people, but for some reason they’re targeting [them].”
“We think it’s unjustifiable. These are tactics that they use to suppress the vote,” Palomares said. “That’s what we feel that’s being done, and that’s why we’re here. I’m here to defend my members.”
While Paxton’s office did not return a request for comment, the attorney general said in a statement that “secure elections are the cornerstone of our republic.”
“We were glad to assist when the District Attorney referred this case to my office for investigation. We are completely committed to protecting the security of the ballot box and the integrity of every legal vote. This means ensuring accountability for anyone committing election crimes,” Paxton said

However, Palomares said there may be another political interest in the Uvalde-area counties where the operations took place: Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas Republicans see the 80th State House district as the Democrat seat most primed to flip red in November.
Palomares argued that LULAC volunteers aren’t in Bexar County to help Democrats retain the seat, suggesting the organization is not allowed to do so.
“There are folks that are working to help, not necessarily her, but to get voters registered so they can vote; we’re nonpartisan. We can’t tell them how to vote, but we want to register as many people so they can exercise their right,” he said.
“And those are the folks that have been targeted. And it appears that it’s targeted around this district.”
Abbott’s office did not return a request for comment on the allegation, but it did in January endorse former Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin, the Republican in the race.
Palomares added that one woman subject to the warrant searches was 80 years old and a former member of the LULAC board.
He said law enforcement confiscated her electronics and that she told him she was embarrassed to be stuck outside her house in her nightgown around dawn. He called the way the searches were conducted “intimidation tactics.”
“I don’t think it’s right. You know, she hasn’t committed a crime, hasn’t been convicted, hasn’t been hiding or anything,” Palomares said.
“I mean, these are allegations that they hear from somewhere, and they come in and do things.”
A spokesperson for the Justice Department confirmed receipt of a letter from LULAC on Tuesday but declined to elaborate further.
As America navigates a deeply polarized political landscape, the Second Amendment continues to serve as a critical fault line. The latest challenge to this foundational right comes from Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, both of whom have openly expressed their disdain for this constitutional guarantee. Their stance on gun control reflects a broader, more troubling trend among progressive leaders to undermine individual liberties in favor of government overreach.
The Bill of Rights, which includes the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution, was crafted to enshrine and protect the fundamental rights of individuals against government encroachment. Among these is the Second Amendment, which explicitly states, “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” This clear and unambiguous language has been a cornerstone of American liberty since the founding of the Republic. However, the interpretations and challenges posed by political figures like Harris and Walz suggest a departure from these constitutional principles.
Kamala Harris, the current Vice President and the Democratic Party’s nominee for President in 2024, has a long history of advocating for restrictive gun control measures. Her position on the Second Amendment has been characterized by a belief that the right to bear arms does not extend to individuals in the way the framers of the Constitution intended. Harris has repeatedly voiced support for bans on so-called “assault weapons,” including AR-15s, which she labels as “weapons of war.” This rhetoric not only mischaracterizes the function and purpose of these firearms but also reveals a fundamental misunderstanding—or willful disregard—of the rights enshrined in the Constitution.
Similarly, Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota has aligned himself with this anti-Second Amendment stance. Walz has supported legislation that seeks to impose stringent restrictions on firearm ownership, including background checks, red flag laws, and the outright ban of certain types of firearms. His actions reflect a broader strategy among progressive leaders to incrementally chip away at gun rights, under the guise of public safety.
Such measures represent a direct assault on individual freedoms and an unconstitutional expansion of government power. The Second Amendment was designed not just as a protection for hunters or sportsmen, but as a safeguard against tyranny. By advocating for restrictive gun control, Harris and Walz are not only challenging the Second Amendment itself but are also undermining the very principles of self-defense and individual sovereignty that the amendment was intended to protect.
From a constitutional standpoint, the positions taken by Harris and Walz reveal a broader ignorance or rejection of the historical context in which the Bill of Rights was established. The framers of the Constitution were acutely aware of the dangers posed by a powerful, centralized government, and the Second Amendment was included as a critical check against such overreach. The idea that this right could be curtailed or redefined by modern political leaders is not only dangerous but also deeply unconstitutional.
Moreover, the argument that restricting gun rights will lead to increased public safety is highly contested. Numerous studies have shown that areas with strict gun control laws often experience higher rates of violent crime, as law-abiding citizens are left defenseless against criminals who do not adhere to the same restrictions. The conservative position holds that responsible gun ownership is not the problem; rather, it is the erosion of moral values and the breakdown of law and order that contribute to violence. In this context, the policies advocated by Harris and Walz do little more than disarm the law-abiding population, leaving them vulnerable to those who would do them harm.
The rhetoric used by Harris and Walz also reflects a broader, more insidious attempt to reshape the narrative around the Second Amendment. By labeling certain firearms as “weapons of war” and suggesting that they have no place in civilian hands, they seek to stigmatize gun ownership and marginalize those who advocate for their rights. This tactic is not only disingenuous but also ignores the fact that millions of Americans lawfully and responsibly own firearms for self-defense, sport, and other lawful purposes.
In framing the Second Amendment as a relic of a bygone era, Harris and Walz are attempting to shift public perception in a way that could pave the way for more aggressive gun control measures in the future. This strategy is deeply concerning to conservatives, who view the right to bear arms as an essential component of American identity and a crucial defense against government tyranny.
The positions of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz on the Second Amendment should be a wake-up call for all Americans who value their constitutional rights. Their disregard for the clear and unequivocal language of the Second Amendment, coupled with their support for policies that would infringe upon individual liberties, underscores the importance of vigilance in defending these rights. As the 2024 election approaches, it is imperative that voters remain informed and engaged on this critical issue, as the future of the Second Amendment—and the liberties it protects—hangs in the balance.
The anti-Second Amendment rhetoric espoused by Kamala Harris and Tim Walz represents a significant threat to the constitutional rights of American citizens. Their positions reflect a broader agenda to undermine individual freedoms and expand government control, a trend that must be resisted by those who value liberty and the rule of law.
