A Federal Magistrate Dismisses Charges Against the FBI Agents Who Lied About Interfering in the Hunter Biden Probe
A change of topic for the moment.
One of the FBI agents who lied under oath about interfering in the Hunter Biden probe openly admitted she was running a "shadow government" in the US bureacracy.A federal judge on Monday dismissed a criminal complaint against two former FBI officials accused of lying to Congress about Hunter Biden, citing what he said was "weaponization" of President Donald Trump's Justice Department just before the midterm elections. In a scathing, hourlong ruling read from the bench, U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui said the investigation that produced the charges against Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides was rushed, conducted at the behest of Trump and FBI Director Kash Patel and dogged by "critical mistakes" that require the dismissal of the case. "I am deeply troubled by what has happened here in this case," Faruqui said. "Whathas transpired here cannot be described as anything other than weaponization."Oh? We'll soon see that this magistrate -- not a real judge, and not confirmed by the Senate -- is zimself a big Weaponizer so long as that Weaponization goes against the right.
The ruling may not bring a permanent end to the matter because the Justice Department still has the option of pursuing an indictment, even though it has struggled during the Trump administration to persuade grand juries in the nation's capital to return indictments in politically charged prosecutions like this one.The magistrate admits his decision is motivated by the political calendar:
... "I will not bury my head in the sand and pretend that I cannot read a calendar," Faruqui said, alluding to the proximity of the charges to the elections, which will determine control of Congress for the last two years of the Republican president's second term. Prosecutors had accused the two former FBI officials of falsely downplaying to Congress their knowledge of investigations into President Joe Biden's son and of a laptop the younger Biden dropped off at a computer repair shop in Delaware in 2019. But Faruqui said the Justice Department had failed to establish in its complaint that any statements made during 2023 testimony were intentionally false and had affected lawmakers' investigation of Hunter Biden or that the former officials had any motive to deceive.
Hans MahnckeOh, and:
@HansMahncke This would be comical if it weren't so depressing. FBI officials Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides were caught dead to rights. Anyone with two functioning brain cells who has read the documents can see that they flatly denied to Congress what they were openly discussing in their own emails. The failure to do anything about the completely out-of-control DC courts, or to at least try to start fixing a system that makes it impossible to hold Democrats accountable, will be the most damning legacy of these past two years.
A federal judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit against Harvard University by the Justice Department, which alleged the school failed to provide admissions records that could ensure it had ended affirmative action in admissions. The DOJ had accused Harvard of stonewalling the investigation into potential racial discrimination and refusing to comply with a federal investigation, ABC News reported. The lawsuit asked a judge to force the university to turn over the requested records. U.S. District Judge Myong Joun concluded the DOJ failed to take the necessary procedural steps to acquire the data before filing the lawsuit. Joun added that the ruling doesn't end the dispute over the data, stressing her decision was on the limited question of whether the government had adequately satisfied the prerequisites, at this point, for judicial enforcement to occur.
Below: More on magistrate Zia Faruqui.
Zia Faruqui— and my longtime followers are familiar with his name—is a magistrate judge. Not appointed by the president, not confirmed by the Senate.
He signed hundreds of J6 arrest warrants including on the unlawful 1512c2 charge. He refused to release Couy Griffin, accused of 2 misdemeanors, from custody. Last year, he actually apologized to a guy accused of pointing lasers at Secret Service agents and the president’s helicopter after he was charged. Once again - the abject failure of Congressional Republicans to hold ANY of these judges accountable continues to reverberate in the hopelessly corrupt, unaccountable DC courthouse.— Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 (@julie_kelly2) November 2, 2026
Well that’s weird. According to reports, Mag Judge Zia Faruqui today blasted DOJ prosecutors for bringing a political case right before an election.
But Faruqui signed off on at least 3 complaints (not indictments) against Trump supporters right before the 2022 and 2024 elections 🤔— Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 (@julie_kelly2) November 2, 2026

There will be more of this.
This is all about packing the courts.
In 2024 there were five Senate seats that mysteriously went from red to blue after midnight. The numbers on some of the “wins” yesterday simply do not math.
Look for 60 Senate seats in 2028 and a stolen Democrati presidency. The courts get packed, and that is end game.

This has been one of the prongs by organizations like those run by Soros: infiltrate prosecutors and judges.
Get Prosecutors in office that won't prosecute crimes (except made-up charges against the Left's enemies) and judges that'll do the bidding of the left by letting go criminals (except throwing the book against the Left's enemies).
I see no easy fix for this, which is to say, all the normal paths to fixing this problem are the same paths lined with Leftists preventing a fix to the problem.

Zia, Myong and now a habibi mention......
In his 20-minute victory speech, the upstart progressive extended no olive branch to Republicans, instead gloating and mocking Rogers, Vice President JD Vance and Trump, the last of whom often mocked his name.
“JD, habibi, there is this delicious irony in the fact that you’re constitutionally obligated to swear me in January,” El-Sayed said."
El-Sayed had especially harsh words for Rogers. “You chose hate, and Michigan chose hope,” he said. “May we never have to see the likes of you in this state again.”

Not there was obviously much prospect of *any* action by Congress on lawless judges, but now? Obviously it's not even a topic.
And would not be surprised to see "courts" outdoing themselves even more the next 2 years, and beyond.
Hope this was worth it for the precious darlings who are suffering in a 3.4% GDP growth economy and just had to rebel.

For now, law requires them to be in DC. Prosecutions never win change of venue requests.

I was barely in the last thread. Did this come up?
JD Vance's portmortem:
http://tiny.cc/b25d101
Lots of Republicans voted Democrat. How can Republicans get them back according to polling:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
So they voted Democrat? Items 2 and 3 are absolutely going to be worse with Democrats in charge. Item 1 might be on the table. Item 4? Who knows?

Oh I was amused by this - I was reading a farcebook thread where someone got a bunch of quotes from lefties about how if they took congress they would lower the costs of food, rent, etc and said, "ok you won now deliver on your promises!"
Every response from a leftest was some variant on, "Hey we can't fix problems like this in 2 years, in fact, it would probably get worst until we get rid of Trump"

In 2024, we voted for Trump for retribution, for the lawfare he suffered and was visited upon his supporters and J6.
That was a promise made over and over, "they're not after me--they're after you, I'm just in the way." etc.
Two years later, we got ... last-second hail mary charges--in DC no less!--against the smallest of small parts of the 2020 steal.
Not J6.
Not the lawfare against him.
And Flynn, Bannon, his electors and all the others all over the nation bled dry via legal fees defending themselves.
No: The f'ing Hunter Biden laptop.
Ahab Trump just has to prove he would have won 2020.
And that's not on "but Trump was blocked, the Senate coulda, woulda, didn't!"
That's 100% Trump, the boss of the DOJ.
Those guys all sat in prison for 3-4 years for him.
They got a pardon--and that's big.
But he denied them justice.
And that it'll never happen again.
Now he's out of the way ....

But hey, here in CA we have this breakthrough:
----------------------------------------------
Throuples, foursomes and other multi-partner relationships can now register as domestic partners in a Los Angeles County city after its city council unanimously approved new legal protections for polyamorous couples.
West Hollywood passed the ordinance Tuesday after it was introduced by Mayor John Heilman.
The measure allows people in relationships involving multiple partners to officially register with the city, granting them certain rights, including hospital visitation and additional tenant protections.

But the Beltway is not just among the dumbest and most parasitical entities in the country - as a practical matter it is a law-free zone for the racist-totalitarians ("progressives").

The gop by and large is still stuck in 1994-2004 where the promise of spending cuts (lol), tax cuts would get voters excited.
Nobody believes them anymore about spending cuts. And tax cuts have pretty much been exhausted since nobody but the very rich pay much in taxes anymore.so tax cuts are now tax cuts for the rich which is exactly a selling point to most people.
But they’re still using the 2003 playbook. And then are shocked it no longer works.

Fox Business has a list of all the demographics and how they flipped from Trump/ Republicans to Democrat. All of the border counties in Texas went Democrat and the Latinos cited immigration and ICE as the reason. 19-29 year olds swung over 35% from 2024 - to Democrats.Independents went 65% for Democrats. War, prices, fuel and interest rates cited. If the Dems don’t fix this, (they won’t) then those groups will flip back according to Bill Hemmer.

I don't really have a serious opinion on Vance or any of the other 2028 contenders (none of whom can hope to win on the merits, I think; the GOP is likely to win the presidency in 2028 only if the Dems make themselves radioactive over the course of the next year, which is possible).
But I think Walsh's opinion is goofy. It's the kind of thing that only an ideologue could believe: the GOP and independent electorate is principled, unlike their pols, and are refusing to show up on account of those principles. People by and large are pragmatic; Joe Sixpack is not doctrinaire.

It does look like today's outcome was because Trump didn't remove the 100% Bidenflation we had from 2020-2024.
He took inflation from 25% to 3% but obviously that doesn't reduce prices it just gives people a chance to catch up

And in 2028 of the economy is in the tank it will be a repeat of 2008. Bush was still blamed even though Dems had the house and senate.

Hello, Horde -
I honestly feel like I have aged out of my country.
Let the idiots who are gloating today stew in what is going to be failure for the foreseeable future - they will NEVER figure out that their glee in overturning what had once been a great country is what will doom them to third world status in their lifetimes.
What is coming will look nothing like the USA that I grew up in - hell, what just happened looks nothing like the country I thought I knew.
It's just a matter of time before forced euthanasia comes for those of a certain age (on both sides) - once we no longer make taxable income, we are of no use to those who are going to be in charge. Expect to see Social Security and Medicare for the elderly phased out. And forced abortions for any birth defects that can be diagnosed prenatally. If you have a chronic or terminal illness, they aren't going to waste resources on you.
I am glad that I am old and will not live long enough to see the downfall of this once great nation.
I honestly feel like I have aged out of my country.

100 Oh yeah that first budget from Democrats is going to be a winner. Expect USAID to be back in there in addition to billions in fraud, free healthcare, and for good measure restoring the NFA tax at around $5000, which they promised the anti 2A groups.
Oh and we will go back to a CR.

And in 2028 of the economy is in the tank it will be a repeat of 2008. Bush was still blamed even though Dems had the house and senate.
I remember watching exit interviews with voters in 2008.
They'd pull in a Dem voter and ask him who he voted for - "Obama we gotta get rid of all those corrupt people ruining stuff in DC"
Then they'd ask who the Obama voters voted for in Congress, "Oh I voted D here we have got to flip that congress so Obama can do all those good things he's gonna do"
Note, the Dems won congress in 2006.

Nice to see border TX counties aren't really useful after all. Trump is only GOP prez to win them, ever I believe, but now according to that exit polling they're sad because of immigration enforcement.
To the idiot Dems, indies, and GOPers who had to "protest" things they don't understand like the war, and inflation, I hope a return to 2024 border conditions was worth it. Because that is absolutely on the agenda unless a GOP candidate wins the WH.
Have already talked with one BP acquaintance - he says he and several of his colleagues are now war-gaming what they might do if a Dem wins in 2028. Morale has been sky-high but younger guys are mulling options.

On the one hand we really have to do the work to figure out exactly why 2024 Trump voters stayed home or flipped to voting D.
On the other hand honestly this probably closing the window on saving the country through traditional political means.
Yes in theory you can flip the house in 2 years. But with those Dem AGs and governors the fraud will look like it did in 2020. And you can't flip the Senate even without corruption now.
And remember the Dems did this openly running a Pedophile, an Islamist, and a Drunk as some of their standard bearers which means people are not receptive at all to standard politics anymore anyway

112. He also cited the war and fuel prices. He said he doesn’t regret it and it had to be done. Agree, but what most voters were frustrated with was the lack of will to end it. The need to make a deal rather than sending Irans oil facilities into wreckage and letting others fill in the gaps in the oil market. The miscalculation that the mullahs and IRGC would capitulate when decades of war with these fanatics showed otherwise.

He can put 10% body weight on the foot now and gradually ramp up to 100% over the next four weeks. Everything looks good for a relatively quick and full recovery.

Hey I did take a bèr break today but outside of AI subscriptions, I was running scripts for 20 hours a day on three APIs for 7 to 10 days.
I contributed about $300 AMERICAN DOLLARS!
So $1,000,000,000
Minus $300
Equals $999,999,700
Profitability is just around the corner.

so, regardless of what vance is babbling about, the polls on top issues: economy at no 1, state of democracy (corruption and the like) at no 2, 39%, and 32%. the rest are not even close. Foreign policy is ...4%. I've been seeing "corruption" hitting no 1 is some polls, and economy at no 2. both very high.

Best thing Trump can do now is resign.
The searing hatred people have for him ain’t going away. It will only intensify and 2028 will be a disaster again because it’ll be the same movie as 2026. Trump bad, vote Democrat.
Let Vance take over. Yes the left will hate him as well but Normies won’t. It will be a fresh start of sorts. By 2028 seeing how voters have the attention span of gnats they may forget all about Trump.
It won’t happen but it should.

You know I saw an argument that if this blue wave was the cost of stopping Iran from nuking NYC it was worth it and...I have to disagree.
Now Trump did avoid the immediate mistake Shrub made in the WoT - we don't have daily news crawls about how many soldiers died.
But...he did make the mistake of assuming it was better to fight a low intensity conflict that drags on over the bad press of fighting WWII style.
Better he had approached the war like LeMay did and end it in a couple of months with the FNM declaring you are a baby killer and a big old meanie.

142. Agree. Even I’ve grown tired of the schtick of insults, name calling and just plain tiresome insults. When you decide as president to talk about some guys ass at one rally and then point out a female rappers giant ass at your next, you are doing too many rallies. You appear unserious at that point.

And if he had he'd be looking at a long stint in prison and it would be THE news story.
This is one of the problems we face - anything we do will be used to send people to jail. Meanwhile the slapper? He'll get a fine and a Go Fund Me that pays out X1000 as much as the fine

America and the entire rest of the West is soft.
The people don't understand war, don't understand our enemies, and are unwilling to do what is necessary to protect civilization.
Which means civilization is going to suffer a massive, debilitating attack before the people wake up.
Whether it survives that attack remains to be seen.

I do believe that there a a significant element of “ Trump fatigue” among more neutral voters that got transferred, probably unjustly, to Republicans all over the country. Unengaged voters DO vote on personality, are notoriously feckless, and, get this, on personal comfort and discomfort. I am sure my viewpoint is not shared by many here but I think there’s an element of accuracy to it.

He also cited the war and fuel prices. He said he doesn’t regret it and it had to be done. Agree, but what most voters were frustrated with was the lack of will to end it. The need to make a deal rather than sending Irans oil facilities into wreckage and letting others fill in the gaps in the oil market. The miscalculation that the mullahs and IRGC would capitulate when decades of war with these fanatics showed otherwise.
==
Its always easy to judge events after the fact. I am sure they thought they could bring this to a close before the elections. They couldn't. It needed to be done and the long term effect will make the oil supply more resilient and less apt to extortion by threatening the straight. This limits the cards in Iran's hand over time. Making the supply more resilient takes years. Which argued in favor of acting now, rather than wait until after the midterm. Waiting raises the issue of them maybe breaking out and getting a working deliverable nuke. It had to be done, and we have to pay the price of doing it. We may well lose the Country anyway due to politics. There are many different ways to get to Armageddon. It may be there is no way to avoid it.

If Trump were to resign, the Dems would never let Vance have a VP.
And then they'd impeach him figuring getting rid of one pol is easier then two.

Spencer Pratt went on a Tangent that pretty much nails it for me... the tldr is the newer generations live through their phones, so politics is about whoever can weave the better story through tiktoks and tweets. Basically, reality has left the building. I didn't think getting old would suck this bad. But at least my kids like to come check on me every 10-15 mins and talk with me for like an hour while we laugh at how bad i've gotten at video games.

Trump's family involvement in their own crypto coin is something that went wide, especially with younger people.

Mind you, they were ALL raised Conservative in Texas. But they are easily swayed by what they see on social media, and none of them can be bothered to look beneath the surface or to seek out "the truth". Their truth is what they are spoonfed by people who only care about being liked by the cool kids.
And the cool kids are rarely the smartest ones in the room.

When a Dem Senator doesn't vote the way they are told their grift goes away, their families members and close allies stop getting jobs, and if they keep it up they get a federal investigation.
Unfortunately for us Thune and yes Trump, have no interest in playing that type of hardball.

But I think that we are going to have to at least consider the possibility that a significant number of GOP voters and independents who went for Trump may reject our views on this subject.

Unengaged voters DO vote on personality, are notoriously feckless, and, get this, on personal comfort and discomfort. I am sure my viewpoint is not shared by many here but I think there’s an element of accuracy to it.

They get to campaign in 2028 on "I'm bipartisan" and also, "but Trump blocked our efforts on affordability/corruption/etc."
Trump can do 2 rallies a day every day until November 2028 and it won't move the needle a single tic.
The man who had been financially bankrupt is now politically bankrupt.
Twice now, 2020, 2026.
If there is one who could come back, it's him. But I don't know how.

The amount of straight-up affirmative action in the judiciary is astounding. Every single Dem-op judicial review is signed by a judge whose name comes out of a Third World hellhole of some sort. I suspect most went to elite universities here or abroad and sucked at the Commie tit for years, but holy crap those judicial hires are shameless.

Hilton had said he would give Spencer any job in his administration that he wanted. Those 2 would have been good together. Sigh.......
Posted by: beckster
===============
Oh, we all know Hilton was DOA. California needs a miracle candidate -- an insanely energetic and uninhibited performer who's already famous. By "performer" I mean someone like Spencer Pratt; big mouth, big gestures, big imagination, big jaws. Maybe if Spencer starts campaigning now he could take Becerra down, because Becerra is going to leave Californians MUCH worse than he found us.

243 But I think that we are going to have to at least consider the possibility that a significant number of GOP voters and independents who went for Trump may reject our views on this subject.
See this is why I want detailed information. Because all of these are "because of Iran" but they are all actually very different politically:
1) I voted Dem because Trump started a war
2) I voted Dem because of the price of gas
3) I voted Dem because I this the price of gas caused other prices to go up

I agree. I'd like to see that data too.
I'd add that I want to see the same kinds of breakdowns for people who previously voted but stayed home (broken down several ways: people who voted in 2024 but stayed home, people who voted in 2022 but stayed home, people who voted in both 2022 and 2024 but stayed home).
Being that this data would be useful, I assume I should start shitting in my hand right now.

I have Trump fatigue. I appreciate the things he's been able to accomplish but he spends a LOT of time stepping on his own dick because he can't focus on the shit that voters care about and can't stop flapping his gums about dumb shit. Voters don't care about the fucking reflecting pool or the ballroom, or whatever damnfool vanity project you have going this this month.
There I said it.

This is basically everyone outside of forums like this. Its just the "circle the wagons" mentality and the NeverTrump people have made conservatives do this knee jerk reaction that we have to defend every dumb thing.
Why do I give a flying shit about spending billions on shit in DC that votes 95% Democrat every election?

But actively trying to overthrow the current government without a plan or even the willingness to put US troops on the ground just looked stupid and reckless.
Posted by: Leupold at November 04, 2026 02:16 PM (E5QyP)
True. Probably made last night worse. But caused it, extremely doubtful. I figured Trump would have had a quick plan out. But he didn't want out.
I assume he had his reasons. His actions have not been particularly stupid and reckless elsewhere.

I am saddened that Ace and his lieutenants so quickly pivoted to a pro-bomb Iran stance this term. The neocons don't care who is president, but they're pretty good at derailing any progress a Republican conservative president might make in any area beyond their special feels for military spending and bombing.

I am really hoping a lot of this is emotional release after a rough day, and then we will all gather up our wits and drive on. Y’all, the world did not end and we know it because the world did not end. We have to give this to God, and in the end, we are going to be okay.

A lot of bad things happened last night.
But one of the worst, I think, is we now have a bunch of radical Dem AGs ready, willing and eager to prosecute Republicans.
Fanni, Leticia, Alvin, Smith--kid glove stuff.
Now the real lawfare begins.
That stuff data republican was discussing?
And Slotkin?
They have the list and their targets.
They didn't need the DOJ.
They have enough Dem AGs to "make sure no one ever goes to work for a Republican again."
I'm sure the courts will rein them in ... after they're bankrupted.

What the fuck are y'all talking about "endless war" in Iran? We've squished the most powerful Middle Eastern mohammedan military like a bug, without putting troops on the ground, decapitated their political leadership, and made them impotently expend a shitload of ordnance all in just a couple of months and only losing a tiny handful of troops.
Now if you wanted to label it something else, framing it as immoral or a strategic mistake, that's something else that you MAYBE could make a case for. But the commie cocksucker Donkey-speak Vietnam-nostalgic "endless war" rhetoric deserves to be shoved up Bruce Springsteen's syphilitic asshole.
You wanna talk "endless war"? How about 20 years in Iraq and Ashcanistan by the Bush/Obama/Biden brain trust with thousands of our troops dead. All because they were pussies who refused to do what was necessary, which was to flatten their countries and leave them in the rubble to rebuild by themselves after crushing the Baathists and Taliban.

I don't think there was a choice about attacking Iran. Nuclear weapon, terror funding and support. This situation was cultivated by Democrats and Europeans for decades. Trump is the first Western leader to actually do something about it. What I don't know is if it could have been delayed until after the mid-terms.
I don't think the average voter is very aware of the Iran war as such. They are aware of prices and the economy, amplified by the media. The war matters to the extent it has had an effect on these things.
