I don’t always agree with former AG Bill Barr, but when I do, it’s about locking up Hillary Clinton. This time he is right on the money. What Hillary did with the fake Alpha Bank hoax and the fraudulent Steele dossier did real damage to this country. Besides the $50 million dollars spent on the FBI and Mueller chasing their tails, she cost the FBI and other federal resources to be wasted when there are real crimes that needed their attention.
Hillary was neck-deep in the email scandal and she needed a distraction, she followed the Democratic playbook and used the old Wag the Dog gambit by spreading outright lies against a sitting president of the United States. It is the same strategy that Biden is using to cover up, well, everything he’s done.
Bill Barr said:
“I thought we were heading into a constitutional crisis. I think whatever you think of Trump, the fact is that the whole Russiagate thing was a grave injustice. It appears to be a dirty political trick that was used first to hobble him and then potentially to drive him from office. I believe it is seditious.”
“It was a gross injustice, and it hurt the United States in many ways, including what we’re seeing in Ukraine these days. It distorted our foreign policy, and so forth.”
An FBI investigation into Trump’s campaign over alleged ties to the Russian government during the 2016 election was hatched by the Hillary campaign and the DNC that funded the Stele dossier and last week Clinton campaign manager, Robby Mook testified under oath that Hillary personally approved the plan to release the fake Alpha Bank hoax to the media.
Leaks from the investigation were used by the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign to accuse Trump of colluding with the Russians to interfere in the election, spawning conspiracy theories that his victory was illegitimate. After Trump fired FBI Director James Comey in May 2017, congressional Democrats accused him of attempting to obstruct the Russia probe, demanding the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate Trump’s actions.
After a two-year, $32 million investigation, Robert Mueller released a report in March 2019 that showed evidence of Russian interference in the election, but said the “investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.” By this time, questions were raised about the origins of Crossfire Hurricane and whether the FBI had inappropriately sought a FISA court warrant to surveil members of Trump’s 2016 campaign using opposition research from the Clinton campaign.
James Baker, Former-FBI General Counsel has joined Russian hoax media collaborator Michael Isikoff on his podcast, yesterday.
Isikoff, it should be noted, allowed himself to be used like a puppet to bolster the FISA applications by repeating the contents of the Steele Dossier in his Yahoo News column as though it was original source material.
Here we have two co-conspirators alibiing for their actions:
Baker, who served as chief counsel to former-FBI Director James Comey during the period leading up to the initial three FISA warrants, threw his former boss under the bus during the podcast.
Isikoff recounted the interview in yesterday’s Yahoo Newscolumn:
Senior FBI officials were concerned then director James Comey would appear to be blackmailing then President-elect Trump – using tactics notoriously associated with J.Edgar Hoover – when he attended a fateful Jan. 6, 2017, meeting at which he informed the real estate magnate about allegations he had consorted with prostitutes in Moscow, according to Jim Baker, the bureau’s chief counsel at the time.
“We were quite worried about the Hoover analogies, and we were determined not to have such a disaster happen on our watch,” said Jim Baker, then the FBI’s top lawyer in an interview with the Yahoo News podcast Skullduggery. But he and Comey determined the bureau had an obligation to tell Trump of the uncorroborated allegations because “the press has it; it’s about to come out. You should be alerted to that fact.”
Of course, counselor. Comey has become an easy target since he is at the nexus of the intelligence community’s conspiracy but there’s just too much evidence to trust Baker when he said.
“I welcome scrutiny. I plan to fully cooperate with the department to help them figure out what happened. Because I believe what happened was lawful, at least based on every piece of information that I have.”
Uh huh.
In the Congressional testimony Baker gave in October of 2018, the former FBI General Counsel revealed that he had been receiving information from Michael Sussmann who is a lawyer for Perkins Coie, the law firm that retained Fusion GPS and former British spy Christopher Steele on behalf of the Clinton Campaign and the DNC.
Multiple sources disclosed that Baker had met with Sussman to discuss details of Trump-Russia collusion allegations in advance of the FBI’s Oct. 21, 2016, application for a FISA warrant on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
In the execution of a criminal conspiracy a participant cannot hide behind the chain of command as an excuse. That’s especially true for an attorney who possesses an extensive knowledge of the law.
Even after Comey was fired by President Trump, following a scathing letter from Acting Attorney General Rod Rosenstein excoriating Comey, Baker kept his relationship with Sussman hidden.
As the FBI’s lead legal counsel Baker knew exactly what he was involved in and made no attempt to stop it.
To the contrary, by meeting with Sussman, who he knew to be acting as a political operative for both the DNC and the Hillary campaign, Baker chose to facilitate the conspiracy.
It was also previously revealed that Baker was under investigation for leaking to the media.
During a fall congressional interview, Baker’s attorney Daniel Levin told lawmakers, “You may or may not know, [Baker has] been the subject of a leak investigation … a criminal leak investigation that’s still active at the Justice Department.”
Baker, contrary to what he told Isikoff, won’t stand up to the scrutiny that he claims to welcome.
Peter Navarro, the former top economic aide in former President Donald Trump’s White House, who is currently languishing in federal prison serving a multi-month sentence for having stood up against subpoenas from the January 6 committee last Congress, is speaking out now from behind bars in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News.
Navarro, who was the director of Trump’s White House’s National Trade Council, is 74 years old and is currently incarcerated in a federal prison in Miami. He is on track to be released in mid-July, around the time of his 75th birthday.

Navarro is also publishing a book this summer, called the The New MAGA Deal, aimed at exploring and explaining populist nationalist philosophy on things like trade and economic policy—the core of his portfolio when he served Trump in the White House. Navarro is a true populist’s populist, too, and went from being a Democrat decades ago to a top Trump adviser and Republican in recent years. This interview with Navarro focuses on his views on the weaponization of government by Democrats against Republicans like himself and Trump as well as on his views on Biden’s approach versus Trump’s approach to consequential American adversaries like China. Navarro also puts the stakes of the 2024 presidential election in the clearest possible terms, saying quite clearly that if Biden wins things will get worse for every American but if Trump wins the inverse is true.
The interview obviously comes after Trump himself was convicted in New York last week in his business records trial, and awaits sentencing the week before the Republican National Convention in July.
Navarro conducted this interview in writing from prison. Breitbart News sent him several questions, and he replied to them a few days later. What follows is a complete transcript of the written interview, with the full questions from Breitbart News and Navarro’s full answers from behind bars.
BREITBART NEWS: What’s your reaction to the Trump verdict?
PETER NAVARRO: For me, it was deja vu all over again, and there is much for Americans — and journalists — to learn by studying the parallels between my case and President Trump’s.
I’m the first senior White House official ever to be convicted of contempt of Congress. My old boss is the first president ever to be convicted of a felony.
I’m guilty of nothing more than defending the Constitutional separation of powers and George Washington’s doctrine of executive privilege against a Democrat lawfare attack. President Trump isn’t even guilty of the misdemeanors he was charged with while these misdemeanors were “belt and suspendered” into f
In both my case and President Trump’s, Democrats were involved at every step of the inquisition. A Democrat majority in Congress held me in contempt on a strict party line vote, a Democrat Attorney General prosecuted me despite a more than 50-year policy of absolute testimonial immunity for senior White House advisors, a Democrat judge stripped me of every possible defense before a jury of 12 never-Trump jurors drawn from a pool that voted over 90% for Biden found me guilty.
With President Trump, a George Soros-backed Marxist DA ran on a platform of putting Trump in prison, a radical Democrat judge in Juan Merchan stripped Trump of both witnesses and defenses, and a Manhattan jury drawn from a pool of voters who went 95% for Biden found him guilty.
In both my case and Donald Trump, this was not equal justice under law but unrestrained lawfare designed to interfere with the 2024 election. It is the likes of Merchan and Bragg and Fani Willis, and Merrick Garland and Jack Smith who belong in prison, not me or the greatest president in modern history.
BREITBART NEWS: Do you think President Trump will be sentenced to prison?
PETER NAVARRO: Again my case is instructive. Just look at where I am writing this from — a prison in Miami.
In my case, Democrat Judge Amit Mehta freely admitted that I had refused to testify before Congress because I firmly believed that once Donald Trump invoked executive privilege, it was not my privilege to waive and I had a duty to the Constitution and my oath of office to do what I did.
Under those circumstances, Mehta should have given me no more than a 30-day suspended sentence and sent me on my way. Instead, and ironically, he gave me the maximum possible time under the guidelines and even cleverly structured the sentence in a way to deny me any sentence reduction under the First Step Act that Donald Trump signed and I had lobbied for. It was cruel and unusual punishment right out of the Democrat lawfare game plan.
Judge Juan Merchan is likely to do exactly the same thing. I look for a prison sentence for Donald Trump. Most importantly, I also believe that Merchan will refuse to release President Trump pending an almost certain victory on appeal.
This is exactly what happened to me. Judge Amit Mehta knew damn well my case will be overturned on appeal — otherwise, the Constitutional separation of powers will be irrevocably damaged. Yet, unlike in a similar case with Steve Bannon with a different judge, Mehta refused to release me on appeal and now here I am in a Joe Biden prison. When I win my appeal, I will have already served my sentence and have been irreparably harmed.
Merchan’s gambit will be even more nefarious. He will sentence Trump on the eve of the Republican National Convention in July and may even try to block Trump from traveling to Milwaukee to accept his party’s nomination for president by refusing to release him pending appeal.
Wake up America. This is happening in our country and there’s not a dime’s worth of difference now between the courts in Communist China and Russia and the good ole U.S. of A.
BREITBART NEWS: What’s it like in prison? Are people familiar with who you are? What’s the reaction?
PETER NAVARRO: Miami is a particularly tough prison. It’s not really “minimum security” but surrounded by razor wire with tight protocols to monitor inmates. Prescription drugs are hard to come by, the food is low in protein and calories, high in sugar and carbohydrates, and certain to worsen any conditions ranging from diabetes and hypertension to heart conditions and kidney issues. A new strain of COVID hit the facility a month ago and spread like wildfire in the cramped dorm conditions. The rec yard is littered with 30-year-old exercise bikes and other equipment that don’t work while an ornery facility administrator before my time lugged off all of the strength training equipment. There’s few inmate training or certification programs and little but time on most inmates’ hands. It’s no country for old men.
The good news is that the vast majority of inmates love Donald Trump for passing the 2018 First Step Act and hate Joe Biden for not implementing it. Same with the corrections officers — Trump and I respect the uniform and they know that while they also know Biden has been a disaster.
If I were a Bidenite, things would be a lot tougher here — and yes, they know exactly who I am and respect the fact that I stood up for a principle and didn’t bow to the government.
BREITBART NEWS: Do you think if you were a Democrat or Biden supporter you would be where you are today?
PETER NAVARRO: Of course not. This is lawfare unchained, and the Democrats play it for keeps while, at least up to this point, Republicans haven’t had either the balls or brains to fight back Old Testament style. Until the Democrats fear they could wind up in the same prisons they put me and are trying to put Donald Trump, Jeff Clark, Mark Meadows, John Eastman, Rudy Giuliani et al in, they will keep doing what they are doing.
If Trump wins and asks if I want to serve again, I may ask for Special Prosecutor. These lawfare bandits must be held accountable for their flagrant election interference.
BREITBART NEWS: What is your message to the broader America First conservative movement? What should they take away from your incarceration?
PETER NAVARRO: Simply, if they can come for me — and they put me first in leg irons and then in prison — they can come for you. And the only thing now standing in their way is Donald Trump.
It is paramount we win the 2024 election for many reasons — Donald Trump will crush inflation, seal our border, keep the dogs of war with Communist China, Iran, Russia and North Korea at bay, stop the Democrats from mutilating the genitals of our young boys and destroying girls’ sports and dreams with a transgender nightmare, and make college graduations safe again from radicals.
But we also must put Donald Trump back behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office to put an end to Joe Biden’s and Merrick Garland’s dual system of injustice that now threatens us all — from soccer moms at school board meetings protesting the grooming and indoctrination of our children to patriots who stand at the ramparts to protect the sanctity of the ballot box.
The Biden Crime Family — Hunter, James, and Joe; The Soros-backed Inquisitors — Bragg, Willis, and Marchan; The Orwellian Demons — Garland and Smith; The America Haters — Omar, Talaib, and AOC. Guantanamo is too good for them. Accountability now for their lies and election interference!
BREITBART NEWS: How will you carry your message to the American people? What role will you play in the Trump 2024 campaign?
PETER NAVARRO: As I have been in prison these last months, my new book, TheNew MAGA Deal (www.newmagadeal.com) has been in the printing process and is now on its way to bookstores and Amazon warehouses everywhere. TheNew MAGA Deal is published by Don Jr.’s publishing house, it’s the unofficial guide to the Trump 2024 campaign platform, and my mission is to put this blueprint and battle cry for the modern MAGA movement into as many hands as possible.
In the spirit of the canon of Steve Bannon — Action! Action! Action! — TheNew MAGA Deal lays out 100 actions in the first 100 days of the Trump administration on everything from crushing inflation, securing our border and putting an end to America’s endless wars to restoring equal justice under law, defending women’s sports, and restoring sanity and ending wokeness in our K-12 curricula.
Importantly, TheNew MAGA Deal will help Trump supporters explain in the plainest of terms what the Trump and MAGA agenda is — simply plain, God, Family, and Country common sense. We must not let the radical Democrats portray us as extremists. We must force them to look in their own mirror at the ugliness of their ideology. That’s what TheNew MAGA Deal will help do.
BREITBART NEWS: What do you make of Joe Biden putting tariffs on Communist China even as we learn more about Hunter and how he leveraged his father’s close relationship with China’s dictator Xi Jinping?
PETER NAVARRO: A lot of the salacious coverage of Hunter focuses on the porn and the crack and the sex trafficking. But Hunter’s worst crime was to sell this country out for a few pieces of silver, and with each new revelation, it’s pretty damn clear the “Big Guy” Joey was in on the action. That’s unregistered foreign lobbying at best and treason at worst.
Against that backdrop, it makes it all the more disingenuous that Joe is trying to out-tariff the King of China Tariffs, Donald Trump, in the run up to the 2024 election. The irony is that Joe Biden created the need for tariffs on Made in China electric vehicles through a Green Bad Deal that effectively exports our auto industry to Shanghai.
If more of the mainstream media did their jobs — thank God for the likes of Breitbart and Bannon’s War Room — Bidenomics would be exposed for the Chinese shell game it is.
BREITBART NEWS: If Trump doesn’t win the election, what happens to this country?
PETER NAVARRO: Double digit inflation, stagnant wages, dog food for pensioners; a hot or cyber war with Iran, Communist China and/or Russia; more rape, murder by fentanyl, terrorism, downward wage pressures, and rising welfare costs from a flood of illegal aliens; unrestrained Democrat lawfare; the end of free speech and assembly; more conservatives and Republicans behind bars for their patriotism; the destruction of women’s sports and more mutilation of young boys’ genitals; a corporate media and social media that will continually revise our history to match the woke ideology. Did I mention no home or car ownership or marriage and babies for much of our younger generations?
Look at what has happened to me, prosecuted and imprisoned for honoring my oath of office and defending the Constitution. It’s your choice: poverty and prison or prosperity and peace. Biden or Trump.
You will decide! Please get involved in this election. Send the Trump campaign a check. Volunteer at your local Republican Party. Spread the gospel of Trump and MAGA. You are the vessel of change. Failure is not an option.
Since when did “FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY” go out of style?
Just for references purposes:
The Democrats don’t seem to have that problem because they would be black-balled. (No pun intended.)
The Republican Party is supposed to be conservatives in their values with a team effort for our country not themselves. The definition of the word TEAM is:
Come together as a team to achieve a common goal.
But, I don’t recall this happening in the Republican Party. The problem seems to be these people have been embedded in their jobs too long and have lost their sense of purpose. They work for the American people not for their own personal agenda which seems to be the case.
When you are consistently voting against your own party – that should certainly tell you that your commitment to the Constitution is not working.
It is definitely time for term limits like the President and Vice-President.
I am tired of watching these people year after year rolling in dough with no results. They certainly don’t earn their pay. They get richer and the citizens get poorer by their decisions. Just take a look at the debt and the decisions they have made. Since they are RINO’s they are part of Bidenomics and the debt – in the trillions..
In a shocking turn of events, it has been uncovered that Rep. Tom Cole (R-OK) has been bankrolling establishment Republicans who supported the impeachment of President Donald Trump.
This revelation has caused outrage among conservative voters who have long seen Cole as a strong conservative ally.
According to recent reports from Big League Politics, Cole’s political action committee, Conservative Opportunity Leadership and Enterprise PAC (COLE PAC), donated $5,000 to Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, a known pro-impeachment RINO.
This donation came at a time when Collins publicly stated that she would not be supporting Trump for President this year.
(What’s new?)
This news has left many American-loving Patriots questioning Cole’s true allegiance and loyalty to the Republican Party and its values.
It is no secret that the impeachment proceedings were nothing but a partisan attack on our President, yet Cole chose to support those who went against the will of their constituents and voted for impeachment.
As a congressman representing Oklahoma’s 4th district since 2003, Cole has built a reputation as a conservative leader. He has consistently voted in line with Republican policies and values, making his support for pro-impeachment RINOs all the more surprising.
One cannot help but wonder what motivated Cole to contribute to these establishment figures and their campaigns.
Was it purely political strategy or does he truly align with their beliefs? Either way, this raises serious concerns about his judgement and priorities as a representative of the people.
But it doesn’t stop there. The report also reveals that COLE PAC made contributions to other establishment Republicans such as Sen. Mitt Romney and Reps. Adam Kinzinger and Peter King, all known critics of President Trump.
In addition to supporting RINOs, it was also discovered that COLE PAC contributed $10,000 to Vice President Mike Pence’s presidential campaign.
This raises questions about Cole’s intentions and loyalties within the Republican Party, as many believe that Pence may run for president in 2024.
This revelation has not gone unnoticed by conservative voters who are already fed up with the establishment’s betrayal of their values. Many have taken to social media to express their disappointment and demand an explanation from Rep. Cole.
The timing of this news is crucial as we approach the 2020 election. Voters need to be aware of where their representatives stand and who they are supporting financially.
In response to these allegations, a spokesperson for COLE PAC stated that “the committee supports Republicans who support conservative principles.”
However, it seems that the definition of “conservative principles” has been blurred in recent years, with some choosing to prioritize personal agendas over party loyalty.
Rep. Tom Cole’s financial support for pro-impeachment RINOs and Pence’s presidential campaign has been revealed, causing concern among conservative voters.
This raises questions about his true allegiance and priorities within the Republican Party.
As we head into the 2020 election, it is important for voters to be aware of where their representatives stand on key issues and who they are supporting financially.
Let us not forget that actions speak louder than words, especially in politics.
As we all know these 7 senators have been in office as Republicans and the states that are electing them know their background as always voting in the senate as Democrats and opposing the Republicans. agenda. The states needs to do a better job of screening these people if they are posing as Republicans and using Republican money to be elected and end up being Democrats.
How many years has this farce been going on? This can’t continue and is dishonest.
7 GOP Senators Suddenly Turn RINO – They Could Jeopardize the Election and the Nation
These people didn’t just suddenly turn RINO. Just check their record on voting on bills. You can never depend on them to support the Republican Party. The * by their name are known RINO’s.
Donald Trump dominated the 2024 presidential primaries. Despite strong rivals with large war chests, Trump swept delegates from coast to coast. Polling shows him beating Joe Biden in critical swing states. And it appears Trump’s popularity is only growing.
Not only this, but the New York conviction has seemed to help Trump’s campaign. He received millions of dollars after the guilty verdict had come out.
Most of the GOP is rallying behind Trump, confident he will return to the White House. Now is the time for Republican leaders to ally with the candidate so they can ensure a strong majority in the new Congress. However, there are key holdouts among Republicans. It seems these RINOs refuse to help their party.
From Daily Caller: Despite Trump’s positive polling and historic fundraising numbers since a New York City jury found Trump guilty on all 34 counts against him, there are still several Republicans who will not say whether or not they will be supporting Trump in November…
Here Are The Senate Republicans Who Have Not Endorsed Trump:
Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy
Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran
Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski*
Utah Sen. Mitt Romney*
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul
Maine Sen. Susan Collins*
Indiana Sen. Todd Young
Romney, Young, Collins and Murkowski have all said they would not be voting for Trump in 2024.
According to the Daily Caller, seven Republican senators have not endorsed Donald Trump’s candidacy. Despite being their party’s presidential nominee, they have refused to back Trump officially. Some of these names might be familiar to you. They have been called RINOs and even “traitors” before by party members.
But for this group to be silent when the stakes are so high might be shocking to many voters. Trump’s candidacy isn’t the only one on the ballot this year. Many Republicans will be fighting to enter or hold onto public seats. By refusing to back Trump, these Republicans could be dampening the entire election cycle.
Republicans need more than just the White House. They need a substantial majority in both the House and the Senate. Without that, even a second Trump presidency wouldn’t be enough to reverse the tremendous damage done by Biden.
Do these Republicans want Democrats to continue to run amuck in Washington?
Key Takeaways:
Seven Republican senators refuse to endorse Donald Trump for president.
Trump is the GOP nominee after winning enough delegates in the primaries.
Some of these senators have longstanding feuds with Trump.
******
These people realize the danger our country is now in with the Democrats becoming Marxists; but, that still doesn’t make them any difference – their hate is a personal vendetta against President Trump.
They are responsible for the shape our country is in today which is irresponsible. They never tried to help President Trump during his time in office. Are they snobbish rich folks and their odor is not perfume? What have they accomplished while in office? And, their job is to be INTELLIGENT THINKERS?
