Prolific January 6 Prosecutor U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves Resigns

 On Monday, U. S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Matthew Graves announced his resignation, effective January 16, just before President-elect Trump takes office. Many conservatives viewed Graves' departure positively, as he had been a central figure in the aggressive prosecutions of individuals involved in the January 6 events, leaving behind a legacy many see as the weaponization of the DOJ against political dissent.

Graves, appointed by President Biden, became known for overseeing the DOJ’s significant efforts to prosecute those charged with the Capitol breach. His statement highlighted that approximately 1,600 individuals were charged, with nearly 1,100 already sentenced. Over 170 trials took place, with the DOJ winning more than 99% of them, including notable seditious conspiracy convictions.

Under Graves’ leadership, the DOJ's prosecutions of the Capitol breach resulted in more than 1,600 charges, an unparalleled response for a single event. He managed many of these cases as a priority. Over 332 defendants faced a unique charge related to obstructing official proceedings, which was later dismissed by the Supreme Court. More than 1,000 individuals were convicted, many receiving severe sentences for non-violent actions, raising concerns about the fairness of these proceedings.

Tragically, several defendants, including Matthew Perna, died by suicide, with their cases often linked to the DOJ’s use of serious enhancements in sentencing. In light of this, Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced H. R. 7540, aimed at ensuring fair trials for protestors. She criticized Graves for his actions and argued that he should be held accountable for his decisions impacting families. Greene emphasized the disparity in prosecution, noting that violent acts by left-wing groups like Antifa went largely unpunished, contributing to perceptions of unequal justice.

Graves’ resignation signifies a controversial period in the DOJ's history, reflecting the need to restore trust in the justice system. A recent poll indicated that only 35% of Americans have confidence in the judiciary, showing a significant drop in faith over the past four years. Bridget M. Fitzpatrick will take on the role of Acting U. S. Attorney following Graves’ exit, as the DOJ faces the challenge of rebuilding its credibility.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
