Biden AG Merrick Garland Says Scrutinizing Him Is ‘Attack on the Judicial Process.’

The Biden government’s Attorney General, Merrick Garland, is defending the Democrat-run lawfare campaign against former President Donald J. Trump on Capitol Hill on Tuesday. In his prepared remarks, released ahead of his testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, Garland accuses his critics of undermining the rule of law by propagating “conspiracy theories” and disseminating falsehoods.

Garland, the top legal figure in the Biden government, smeared Republican critics who continue to accuse the Department of Justice (DOJ) of coordinating the federal and state-level indictments against Trump. This past May, The National Pulse reported extensively on Matthew Colangelo, one of the top prosecutors in the Manhattan District Attorney’s office, and his prior work in the Biden DOJ. The former DOJ attorney and current state prosecutor is suspected of being a go-between for federal prosecutors and their state-level colleagues. Additionally, Colangelo has a history of pursuing partisan legal actions against conservative organizations and Republican lawmakers dating back to 2011.

“That conspiracy theory is an attack on the judicial process itself,” Garland said, chastising lawmakers who have raised concerns about possible ongoing communications between the Manhattan DA‘s office and the DOJ.

“Certain members of this committee and the Oversight Committee are seeking contempt as a means of obtaining — for no legitimate purpose — sensitive law enforcement information that could harm the integrity of future investigations,” Garland’s prepared remarks read. Additionally, Garland has voiced concerns that the recordings could be manipulated and utilized in pro-Trump political campaigns. “I will not be intimidated,” Garland’s prepared remarks emphasize. “And the Justice Department will not be intimidated.”

GARLAND IN CONTEMPT? 

The Judiciary Committee and House Oversight Committee moved last month to hold Garland in contempt for refusing to hand over audio recordings from interviews conducted by Special Counsel Robert Hur with Biden last year. Hur ultimately decided not to prosecute Biden for criminal wrongdoing related to his handling of classified materials, citing the unlikelihood that the special counsel could secure a conviction.

More Senators Pledge to Block Dem Appointments Over Anti-Trump Lawfare.

Senator Josh Hawley and Senator Ron Johnson have joined eight other Senate Republicans in signing a pledge, organized by Senator Mike Lee, to block legislation not essential to American security in response to Donald Trump’s sham conviction in Manhattan.

“The White House has made a mockery of the rule of law and fundamentally altered our politics in un-American ways,” the pledge states. “As a Senate Republican conference, we are unwilling to aid and abet this White in its project to tear this country apart. To that end, we will not 1) allow any increase to non-security related funding for this administration, or any appropriations bill which funds partisan lawfare; 2) vote to confirm this administration’s political and judicial appointees; and 3) allow expedited consideration and passage of Democrat legislation or authorities that are not directly relevant to the safety of the American people.”

While the Democrats and Democrat-aligned Independents under Chuck Schumer enjoy a 51-49 majority in the Senate, it takes 60 votes to close debates in the upper chamber, empowering the Republicans to filibuster most legislation.

Whether Senate Republicans beyond those signed up to Sen. Lee’s pledge will use their power to block the Democrats in Congress remains to be seen. However, even Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a longtime enemy of Trump, has expressed anger at the former president’s conviction. “These charges never should have been brought in the first place,” he wrote, predicting “the conviction to be overturned on appeal.”

The Manhattan case, brought by Democrat District Alvin Bragg and overseen by a judge who donated to Joe Biden and the Stop Republicans group, has drawn criticism across the political spectrum. CNN Senior Legal Analyst Eli Honig branded it an “ill-conceived, unjustified mess” that “contorted the law.”

Trump Allies Mike Roman, Ken Chesebro, James Troupis INDICTED for Questioning 2020 Results.

Three individuals who spearheaded the challenge to Wisconsin‘s 2020 presidential election results on behalf of the Trump campaign have been indicted by the state’s Attorney General Josh Kaul (D-WI) over their efforts. According to court documents filed early on Tuesday, attorney Kenneth Chesebro, former Trump campaign official Mike Roman, and James Troupis — a former judge and Trump campaign attorney — are charged with a single felony forgery.

The felony forgery charges stem from the three men’s role in organizing an alternative slate of electors and soliciting their signatures on paperwork attesting that former President Donald J. Trump won the state in the 2020 election. Chesboro and Roman were previously named as Trump co-conspirators in prosecutions in Georgia and Arizona over similar actions, though Chesboro has struck a plea deal in the Georgia prosecution. Troupis has not been previously charged in any other state.

As of Tuesday morning, Wisconsin‘s Attorney General hadn’t officially announced the charges, though the filings were publicly accessible on a court docket for Dane County, where the state capital of Madison is located.

While Democrats continue to insist that voter fraud did not impact the 2020 presidential election, recent evidence suggests otherwise.

The National Pulse reported in April that research from the Heartland Institute suggests that mail-in voting in 2020 was tainted by widespread fraud. Additionally, an investigation in Georgia into irregularities in Fulton County revealed that election officials used improper procedures during the election and cannot account for thousands of missing ballot images.

Louisiana Approves Surgical Castration for Pedos.

The Louisiana Legislature has approved a bill allowing judges to order surgical castration for those convicted of sex crimes against children under the age of 13. The bill now awaits the signature of Republican Gov. Jeff Landry. If signed, Louisiana would become the first state to implement such a punishment.

The bill was passed by the GOP-controlled legislature and gives judges the option to sentence someone to surgical castration following a conviction for certain aggravated sex crimes. These crimes include rape, incest, and molestation of children younger than 13. Currently, Louisiana and a few other states, such as Alabama, California, Florida, and Texas, permit chemical castration. This involves drugs that reduce testosterone levels and decrease sex drive.

Some states allow predator offenders to opt for surgical castration, but no state currently permits a judge to impose surgical castration directly.

“This is a consequence,” said Republican state Sen. Valarie Hodges during a committee hearing in April. “It’s a step over and beyond just going to jail and getting out.”

The castration bill received overwhelming support in both legislative chambers, with opposition coming mostly from Democrats. Notably, however, Democratic state Sen. Regina Barrow authored the legislation, arguing the need for an additional deterrent and punishment for such crimes.

“The legislation addresses heinous acts against children,” Barrow said during an April committee meeting.

Governor Landry has yet to indicate his intention to sign it into law. As Louisiana’s Attorney General, he generally pursued an America First agenda, moving lawsuits against the Joe Biden regime for pressuring and colluding with tech firms to censor Americans and asking the Supreme Court to reject 2020 election results in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan, citing voting irregularities.

Biden’s Stealth Amnesty: 350,000 Asylum Cases Terminated Without Review.

The Joe Biden regime appears to be granting “mass amnesty” for hundreds of thousands of migrants by stealth. Since 2022, the federal government has terminated over 350,000 asylum cases “without a decision on the merits of their asylum claim,” — allowing them to remain in the U.S. essentially unmonitored without receiving either a deportation order or a grant of asylum.

“This is just a massive amnesty under the guise of prosecutorial discretion,” said Andrew Arthur, a former immigration judge now with the Center for Immigration Studies. “You’re basically allowing people who don’t have a right to be in the United States to be here indefinitely,” he added.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sources warn they have seen a spike in migrants committing crimes after their asylum cases were dismissed, pleading with the New York Post to “Please let everyone know what’s really going on.”

PUBLIC SAFETY. 

ICE sources and immigration lawyers warn migrants no longer have to report to ICE after their asylum cases are dismissed. They also stress this makes it much harder to deport migrants even if they are caught committing crimes afterward.

“If the migrants, who ICE no longer controls or monitors, commit crimes after the dismissal, ICE will have to start all over and issue a new Notice to Appear in court and start the clock all over again,” one source explained.

Only 4,730 were allowed to remain in the U.S., with no grant of asylum or deportation being handed down in 2020, Donald Trump’s last full year in office. This rose to 18,119 in 2021, higher than any year of Trump’s first term, then exploded to 102,550 in 2022 and 149,305 in 2023. So far, in 2024, 113,843 migrants have been allowed to remain with no asylum decision, on top of 26,514 who have been proactively granted asylum.

Polls show over half of likely voters in the U.S. believe Biden is “encouraging” illegal aliens to enter the United States en masse to “create a permanent majority” for the Democratic Party.

By the end of his term, the 81-year-old is projected to have overseen an illegal immigration influx equivalent to all legal immigration through Ellis Island from 1982 to 1954.

Cops Shot by Venezuelan Illegal.

Two New York Police Department (NYPD) officers were shot early Monday morning by an illegal alien from Venezuela following an attempted traffic stop. The shooting occurred at approximately 1:40 AM at the intersection of 89th Street and 23rd Avenue. During the stop attempt, the suspect, identified as 19-year-old Bernardo Raul Castro-Mata, allegedly jumped off his scooter and fled on foot. As the officers pursued him, the suspect opened fire at them. They returned fire, hitting Castro-Mata in the ankle.

Both police officers were subsequently treated for their injuries and released from the hospital. One officer sustained a gunshot wound to the leg, while the other was saved by his bulletproof vest.

Donald Trump has warned of the rise in Venezuelan migrant crime, stressing the need to stop the ultra-violent Tren de Aragua gang, which also operates across Chile, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, and Panama, from turning its foothold in the U.S. into an entrenched position.

The former president’s tough stance against crime has earned the endorsement of thousands of New York bodegas. He is polling surprisingly close to Joe Biden, who endorses pro-criminal policies, such as cashless bail, in the Empire State. Sixty-four percent of New Yorkers blame Biden for the migrant crisis, and 70 percent believe he is unfit for office.

Castro-Mata crossed into the United States through Eagle Pass, Texas, in July 2023. The burden imposed on law enforcement by criminal migrants has become enormous under Biden, with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) tasked with monitoring 617,000 illegals with criminal records or pending criminal charges — more than the entire population of the State of Wyoming.

Embattled Senator Bob Menendez Ditches Dems, Will Run as Independent.

Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) is preparing to file paperwork to appear as an independent U.S. Senate candidate on the 2024 New Jersey election ballot amid an ongoing corruption trial. The deadline for filing signatures in New Jersey is 4PM on Tuesday, which also coincides with the state’s partisan primary elections. Independent candidates require 800 signatures to qualify for the general election ballot.

Sen. Menendez, who announced in March that he would not seek re-election as a Democrat, left open the possibility of an independent run. “I will not file for the Democratic primary this June,” he stated in a video message. “I am hopeful that my exoneration will take place this summer and allow me to pursue my candidacy as an independent Democrat in the general election.”

Menendez is currently facing federal prosecution on corruption charges. The National Pulse reported that the New Jersey Democrat is accused of accepting cash, gold bars, luxury wristwatches, and other perks from New Jersey businessmen in exchange for providing official favors to benefit the businessmen and the governments of Egypt and Qatar. Menendez, 70, has fervently denied the allegations, labeling the prosecution as “overzealous.”

Rep. Andy Kim, a Democratic challenger who entered the Senate race in response to Menendez’s indictment, was critical of the incumbent’s decision. In a statement to ABC News, Kim asserted, “Americans are fed up with politicians putting their own personal benefit ahead of what’s right for the country. Everyone knows Bob Menendez isn’t running for the people of New Jersey, he’s doing it for himself. It’s beyond time for change and I’m stepping up to restore integrity back into the U.S. Senate.”

Biden Grants MILLIONS of Work Permits to Illegals, With Some Becoming COPS!?

The Biden government has issued over 3.3 million asylum seekers with Employment Authorization Documents (EAD), commonly known as federal work permits, despite many recipients having no legal right to reside in the U.S. The scheme has even been used to allow some non-citizens to become police officers in states such as California and Illinois.

Traditionally, asylum is intended for people fleeing persecution, not economic migrants seeking better employment opportunities. To reduce fraudulent asylum claims, the U.S. historically required asylum seekers to wait 180 days before applying for work permits. However, the Biden regime has modified this waiting period rule through over 530 immigration-related executive actions, expanding admissions and creating new pathways under various programs.

These programs include population transfers from Afghanistan and Ukraine, “family reunification” (chain migration) programs, and the use of the CBPOne app, which facilitated the entry of a Haitian now accused of double murder earlier this year.

As of fall 2023, around 2.3 million migrants had entered the U.S. through these programs with minimal health and background checks. Pending EAD applications stand at 1.4 million.

These programs do not grant lawful immigration status but rely on the federal government’s “parole” authority. Over 700,000 illegal border-crossers were granted parole in 2022-23, compared to only 479 such individuals between 2013 and 2020. Parolees are often eligible for work permits and Social Security cards. The number of work permits has risen from 1.279 million in 2022 to 2.139 million in 2023, with projections indicating a rise to 3.3 million in 2024.

The National Pulse’s Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam has previously explained how the Biden regime issuing Employment Authorization Documents en masse allowed meat-processing and other industries addicted to migrant labor to profit from illegal immigration despite claiming to oppose it.

Trump Warns of Public Outrage if Jailed: ‘There’s a Breaking Point!’

Former President Donald J. Trump said in an interview on Sunday that if he is sentenced to prison or house arrest following his recent conviction in New York City, it would be “tough for the public.” Responding to Democrats who argue he should be jailed over his politics, Trump insisted that he is the “opposite” of a threat to democracy.

When asked about the possibility of being sentenced to house arrest or jail time, Trump responded, “I’m okay with it,” but also noted, “I think it’d be tough for the public to take. At a certain point, there’s a breaking point.”

Touching on the case against him and the resulting guilty verdict, Trump remarked, “It’s weaponization of the Justice Department, of the FBI, and you know that’s all coming out of Washington. You may think it’s Bragg. Take a look at who opened the case. I’m not allowed to talk about it because I have a gag order.”

Trump mentioned that the situation has been more challenging for his family than for him personally.

Addressing his critics who label him a “threat to democracy,” Trump stated, “It’s their slogan. I’m a ‘threat to democracy.’ I’m the opposite.”

Trump is scheduled to be sentenced for the Manhattan case on July 11, which is just days before the Republican National Convention. The former Republican President, found guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records last week by a Manhattan jury, could face several years in prison. Democrat-aligned Judge Juan Merchan, who presided over the trial, will also determine Trump’s sentencing.

Salem Media Pulls Dinesh D’Souza’s ‘2000 Mules.’

Salem Media Group has decided to pull Dinesh D’Souza’s documentary 2000 Mules from its platforms. The move follows an apology issued to a Georgia man falsely accused of illegal voting activity in the film.

The 2022 documentary grossed close to $1.5 million. It made various claims suggesting the 2020 election was rigged. However, Factcheck.org and other organizations allegedly ‘debunked’ multiple claims in the film. Despite this, former President Trump cited the film to support his assertions regarding a stolen election.

Salem Media Group released a statement regarding their decision to withdraw the film. “In publishing the film and the book, we relied on representations made by Dinesh D’Souza and True the Vote, Inc. that the individuals depicted, including Mr. Andrews, illegally deposited ballots. We have learned that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has cleared Mr. Andrews of any wrongdoing related to the depicted events.”

The statement continued, “It was never our intent for the publication of the ‘2000 Mules’ film and book to harm Mr. Andrews. We apologize for the hurt the inclusion of Mr. Andrews’ image has caused him and his family. We have removed the film from Salem’s platforms and will cease any future distribution of the film or book.” The book was initially published through Regnery Publishing, a former division of Salem Media Group.

Mark Andrews, the individual affected, had filed a defamation lawsuit against Salem Media, D’Souza, and True the Vote.

However, despite the alleged “debunking” of D’Souza’s film, subsequent reports have revealed massive irregularities surrounding the 2020 election in Georgia. A recent investigation revealed serious issues with the Fulton County, Georgia recount, including duplicate ballot images, fake Biden ballots, and thousands of missing ballots.
