Since #Trump took office, his admin has mounted an aggressive campaign to use federal law enforcement agencies to pursue his political adversaries, repeatedly.
…Even against this backdrop, a proposal to release extensive files, send agents to China to interview a suspected intelligence operative & offer her a #US #visa in exchange for unreliable revelations about a US congressman would be extraordinary.

Internal #DOJ policy has long said that law enforcement should refrain from taking any public investigatory steps against a political candidate in the 60 days before an #election, to prevent even the appearance of the department using its power to sway the #vote.
…The #California gubernatorial primary is June 2.

“Most troubling about this is that we are now literally at #war. We also face threats against the homeland,” #EricSwalwell said in a statement. “#KashPatel should be spending every moment trying to keep us safe, not scoring political points. A lot of people have bent the knee to this administration. But I will not, & neither will the people of California.”

They also said they feared the repercussions of sending agents to the territory of an adversarial nation to dig up information on a sitting congressman. Such an interview, legal experts said, would be impossible without Chinese interference, & Fang would be considered an unreliable witness.

🚨Despite that, #FBI leaders have recently suggested in internal discussions that the govt could try to arrange for Fang to get a #US #visa in exchange for speaking with FBI agents about the Democrat, acc/to the 3 people with knowledge of Patel’s efforts. It would be highly unorthodox to grant a visa to a person suspected of being an #intelligence agent for a foreign superpower.

#EricSwalwell was not accused of any wrongdoing when the #FBI investigated his relationship with Fang a decade ago. In 2023, the #Republican-led #House #Ethics Cmte closed a 2-year investigation into the congressman, deciding to “take no further action.”

The Chinese woman at issue is Christine Fang,…[dubbed Fang Fang by #racist #MAGA types & #Trump], who reportedly courted #EricSwalwell & other #California politicians in the #US from 2011 to 2015. She helped with fundraising for Swalwell’s 2014 reelection campaign & even helped place an intern in his congressional office. When federal agents conveyed their concerns about Fang to Swalwell around 2015, he cut off ties with her & helped investigators.

As #FBI director, #KashPatel has focused on trying to bring a criminal case against the outspoken Democrat, reassigning multiple agents in San Francisco to work on the matter, the current & former ofcls said. FBI leaders have even discussed sending agents to China to talk to the suspected intelligence operative, believing she could have damaging information about #EricSwalwell, acc/to 2 of the people….

The potential release is part of the #Trump admin’s aggressive push to investigate #EricSwalwell, [who served as an #impeachment manager (prosecutor) during Trump's 2nd impeachment trial], a vocal critic of #Trump & a leading Democratic candidate for #California #governor, acc/to the people familiar with the effort. It is highly unusual for the #FBI to release case files tied to a probe that did NOT result in criminal charges.

#FBI Director #KashPatel is pressing to release a decade-old investigative file involving Rep. #EricSwalwell (D-California) & a suspected Chinese intelligence operative, recently dispatching agents in the Bureau’s San Francisco office to quickly redact the files before they are released publicly despite NO evidence of wrongdoing by Swalwell, according to three people familiar with the effort.

Deputy AG #Blanche denied any of these #DictatorDon critics or prosecutors being investigated by his DoJ were "political hit jobs"... something he claimed he'd NEVER do when confirmed... claiming they are all "legitimate targets for investigation" (even after acknowledging it was #MafiaDon who called for their prosecution.)

I can tell you this, when I used to go to the salon for a haircut, one thing I never did was get a background check on my stylist.
Give me a fucking break.

"From Doxxing to Dot.Gov: the White House Has Set Up a Taxpayer Funded Enemies List
Doxing, swatting, bogus FBI calls, stalkers live-streaming outside their homes — it used to be marginal maniacs who saw journalists as targets to be neutralized. Now it’s the President. A government that pardons violent insurrectionists, guts research on far‑right terror, and redirects agents from tracking neo‑Nazis to hunting immigrants is turning its full weight on the people who dare to report any of it.
The anti-hate beat has never been for the faint of heart. Amanda Moore, who embedded with the far Right in 2020, has faced backlash for her reporting for The Nation, Politico, and The Intercept ever since. She’s seen her address, phone, gym schedule, and family details splashed across extremist sites for half a decade — leading to her sister getting swatted at 4 a.m. over a fake suicide call.
Likewise, in North Carolina, Raw Story reporter Jordan Green saw a young neo-Nazi soldier, whom his reporting had tied to the group Patriot Front, show up at his door during a fake pizza delivery. The soldier snapped Green’s photo, then returned weeks later to film a flash rally of extremists right outside the home where Green lives with his wife and children.
Steven Monacelli in Dallas knows this story too. His work tracking extremism, disinformation, and the influence of dark money in politics has won awards — but it’s also cost him. Last year, someone impersonating the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center sent cops to his door with a bogus wife-beating tip on Thanksgiving.
The work of journalists like these was never easy, but as Moore puts it, the people she met praising 'a friendlier Nazi Germany' at those conferences years back, are now embedded in the administration:
'The people who are backlashing against me have changed. It’s no longer a live streamer like Nick Fuentes ranting about me for five minutes straight. It’s the former campaign manager for Trump 2024 calling me and threatening me with a lawsuit.'
And that was before the president launched his own doxxing and swatting operation."

«Slotkin in her Senate speech warned that with #NSPM7, the Trump administration had directed law enforcement agencies to “make secret lists of terrorist groups inside the United States and send the full force of the U.S. government against those terrorist organizations.”
“They are not telling anyone about this, but asking that the law enforcement community come up with that list,” she added.»

"I fired James #Comey b/c he was a bad cop, and he was a Dirty cop!" - T**** in January 2019.
Second photo: #CarnivalCruz questioning Comey in September 2020, two months before the election.
If Comey committed a crime in 2018, WHY DIDN'T T**** PROSECUTE HIM DURING HIS FIRST TERM? He had TWO YEARS. And yet, now suddenly, 7 months into his SECOND term, NOW he has decided we need to prosecute Comey for (supposedly) "lying to Congress" in 2018??? 🤔 #EnemiesList #ComboverCaligula #DictatorDon

Funny, b/c anus tangerinus seems to have a list of those who've wronged him...
Supposedly, Comey’s indictment is about justice?

Sep 25, 2025
Today, with the popularity of President Donald J. Trump and his administration dropping, Trump’s disastrous performance at the United Nations, the return of comedian Jimmy Kimmel to the airwaves, and the Tuesday’s election in Arizona of Democratic representative Adelita Grijalva, who will provide the final signature on a discharge petition to demand a floor vote in the House over releasing all the government files on convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, the administration appears to be making a dramatic push to seize complete control of the government.
Last night, Office of Management and Budget director Russell Vought tried to jam the Democrats into passing the Republicans’ continuing resolution to fund the government. Officials leaked a memo to Politico, Punchbowl News, and Axios—publications that focus on events concerning Capitol Hill—saying that if the Democrats refuse to pass the Republicans’ measure, the administration will try to fire, rather than furlough, large numbers of federal employees.
Such a move would be challenged in the courts, and the government has been forced to rehire many of the people it forced out earlier this year after those firings left agencies badly understaffed. But the threat is not idle; Vought is a Christian nationalist who has called for a “radical Constitutionalism” that demolishes the modern American state and replaces it with a powerful executive.
House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) responded: “Listen Russ, you are a malignant political hack. We will not be intimidated by your threat to engage in mass firings. Get lost.” Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said in a statement: “Donald Trump has been firing federal workers since day one—not to govern, but to scare. This is nothing new and has nothing to do with funding the government. These unnecessary firings will either be overturned in court or the administration will end up hiring the workers back, just like they did as recently as today.”
Trump appears focused on September 30, when the government funding crisis will hit, and the days after it. Although courts have ruled that he does not have the power to impose tariffs willy-nilly, today Trump announced new tariffs of 100% on pharmaceuticals, 50% on kitchen and bathroom cabinets, 30% on upholstered furniture, and 25% on “Heavy (Big!) Trucks” beginning on October 1. On social media, he claimed such tariffs were necessary “for National Security and other reasons.”
Today, James LaPorta of CBS News reported that the National Archives and Records Administration improperly released Democratic representative Mikie Sherrill’s full military records to an ally of her Republican opponent, Jack Ciattarelli, in the New Jersey governor’s race. The two candidates are tied, and Ciattarelli appears to be trying to link Sherrill to the 1994 Naval Academy cheating scandal involving more than 100 midshipmen.
Sherrill had an unblemished career in the Navy and as a midshipman, LaPorta notes. She did not turn in her cheating classmates, but she was never accused of cheating herself. The unredacted release of Sherrill’s records appears to violate the 1974 Privacy Act. Sherrill said: “That Jack Ciattarelli and the Trump administration are illegally weaponizing my records for political gain is a violation of anyone who has ever served our country. No veteran’s record is safe.”
While the National Archives maintained the release was a mistake and apologized for it, the administration’s influence in the Department of Justice tonight could not be explained away.
Days after Trump demanded that the Department of Justice move “now” to prosecute those he perceives to be his enemies, a federal grand jury has indicted former FBI director James Comey for allegedly lying to Congress and obstructing an investigation. Comey was an early casualty of Trump’s first administration, fired after he refused to kill the FBI investigation of the ties between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russian operatives.
Over last weekend, Trump exploded at then–acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Erik Siebert, a career prosecutor, after Siebert concluded there was not enough evidence of a crime to charge Comey for allegedly lying to Congress or New York attorney general Letitia James for alleged mortgage fraud.
On Monday Trump replaced Siebert with White House aide and Trump’s former personal lawyer Lindsey Halligan, and yesterday three sources told Ken Dilanian and Carol Leonnig of MSNBC that they expected Halligan to try to get a grand jury to indict Comey before the five-year statute of limitations on lying to Congress runs out next Tuesday.
Editor’s Note: My emphasis below… –DrWeb
Tonight the DOJ delivered an indictment against Comey.
“My family and I have known for years that there are costs to standing up to Donald Trump,” Comey said tonight in a video. “But we…will not live on our knees, and you shouldn’t either. Somebody that I love dearly recently said that fear is the tool of a tyrant, and she’s right, but I’m not afraid, and I hope you’re not either. I hope instead you are engaged, you are paying attention, and you will vote like your beloved country depends upon it, which it does. My heart is broken for the Department of Justice, but I have great confidence in the federal judicial system. I’m innocent. So let’s have a trial and keep the faith.”

I have seen clips of #MAGAts saying that "maybe America needs a #Dictator" (as long as it's #Felon47.)
The past few days, #DictatorDon is talking about how "Some People Say…™" they want a dictator (T**** testing the waters to see people's reaction.)
He's sending our own armed military into #Blue cities (not Red) and prosecuting people on his #EnemiesList, but the way his sycophantic Cabinet kisses his ass & showers Dear Leader with praise is pathetic & sickening. 😱

#DanielFried echoes this sentiment. “I spent 40 years in the #State Dept, & you didn’t collect names or demand email records…I’ve never heard of such a thing”—at least not in the American context, he clarifies. It did remind him of Eastern European “Communist Party minder[s] watching over the untrusted bureaucracy.”
He adds: “It also approaches the compilation of an #EnemiesList.”
