Clean out the FBI and the Justice Department of those who did this, and nail the miscreants to the wall.
[FoxNews] Scavino, Patel, Clark claim FBI surveilled their Google accounts
Officials from the first Trump administration are alleging they received notices from Google shortly before they returned to office that they were being probed by the FBI under the Biden administration and the web giant was unable to tell them because of a court order.
Dan Scavino, who is now White House Deputy Chief of Staff and assistant to the president, described the matter as "Biden lawfare" kicking in after he "patriotically and proudly" served during Trump’s first term.
"Google received and responded to a legal process issued by the Federal Bureau of Investigation compelling the release of information related to your Google account. A court order previously prohibited Google from notifying you of the legal process…" Scavino shared on X from an email he said he received from Google five weeks before Trump returned to the White House.
"I’ve never shared this — but this is a small taste of the INSANITY that many of us went through — right here in the United States of America. LAWFARE at its finest. A Complete and Total Disgrace!!!!!" he added.
Less than a half-hour after Scavino’s post, FBI Director Kash Patel responded to him saying "I got one of those too..."
Jeff Clark, the current acting administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, then chimed in Saturday morning, saying that he, too, received a similar message.
"Indeed, a whole Jack Smith team was assigned to go through my emails after there was a privilege review," Clark wrote on X in reference to the former special counsel.
"But that group of lawyers ignored my religious pastor privilege, marital privilege, and other privileges and basically shipped all they could to Jack Smith. But it still cost me tens of thousands to try to protect my communications," he added.
Smith was tapped by former Attorney General Merrick Garland to probe allegations that Trump sought to overturn the 2020 election results, and later investigated the handling of classified documents that were uncovered during a raid at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago compound.
"My medical records and other private communications had nothing to do with the 2020 election. They were no one’s business. But it didn’t matter to these thugs with law degrees and the willingness to abuse government power," Clark said Saturday.
"They were trying to bait me to go to court to get them to destroy their secret copies of the emails, so they could try to break even my lawyer-client privilege with President Trump. But my team and I didn’t fall for it," Clark also said. "Moreover, the whole thing was a blatant attempt to intimidate me. It didn’t work and I didn’t fold under the pressure."
The FBI did not immediately respond Saturday to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

Abolish the FBI as it currently stands. From a new investigative body & ensure no possible rogue FBI agent ever works for the USA again. For starters, anyway.
[FoxNews] The Oversight Project cited Wray's testimony in regard to the Richmond-FBI's anti-Catholic memo
A Washington-based government transparency watchdog has referred former FBI Director Christopher Wray to the Department of Justice and the FBI, urging a criminal investigation into allegations that he had made false statements to Congress
…is that legally the same a perjury, or something else, whether greater or lessor?
and obstructed proceedings in two high-profile cases.
Oversight Project President Mike Howell told Fox News Digital that the group is specifically asking officials to examine Wray's congressional testimony on the so-called Richmond memo from the FBI office in Virginia that exposed an anti-Catholic bias there, and his testimony about a Chinese plot to disseminate illicit driver’s licenses before the 2020 election.
In July 2023, Wray testified before the House Judiciary Committee on the FBI-Richmond memo that had labeled Catholics as potential domestic threats.
"Well, what I can tell you is you’re referring to the Richmond product, which is a single product by a single field office, which as soon as I found out about it, I was aghast and ordered it withdrawn and removed from FBI systems," Wray said.
The Oversight Project alleges that statement was ultimately misleading or false.
Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., pressed Wray on the Richmond memo and so-called "Trump questionnaire," which was circulated at the FBI and asked about allegiance to the president and whether agents had attended any protests or rallies associated with the Jan. 6 Capitol Breach.
"We keep hearing about these ‘isolated examples’ whether it's Richmond Catholics, this [questionnaire] -- isn't it a pattern?" Tiffany asked.
The Oversight Project pointed to Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Charles Grassley’s opening remarks from a June hearing on Biden-era "cover-ups," in which Grassley said the Richmond memo "used the shoddy research of the radical Southern Poverty Law Center to accuse traditional Catholics of being violent extremists."
"Based on records I released the other week, there wasn’t just one FBI document that used biased anti-Catholic sources, but over a dozen," Grassley said. The referral also notes that this remark by Grassley belies Wray’s testimony suggesting a one-off incident.
"And more FBI field offices were involved than we’d been led to believe," Grassley, R-Iowa, said.
A second Richmond memo similar to the first that went unreleased following the backlash was part of a partially redacted series of documents Grassley’s committee transmitted to FBI Director Kash Patel in June. It stated that the bureau "assesses RMVE (Racially Motivated Violent Extremism) interest in RTC (Radical Traditional Catholic) ideology is likely to increase … in the run-up to the [2024] general election cycle."
"Director Wray’s testimony was inaccurate not only because it failed to reveal the scope of the memo’s production and dissemination, but also because it failed to reveal the existence of a second, draft product on the same topic intended for external distribution to the whole FBI," the Oversight Project said in a separate statement. "That draft product was intended for distribution as a Strategic Perspective Executive Analytic Report ("SPEAR"). It was clearly a separate product."
The Oversight Project specifically alleged violations of obstruction of proceedings before Congress, perjury and false statements.
Fox News Digital reached out to Grassley, who also told Fox News’ Bill Hemmer in June that he had found 13 other documents similar to the Richmond memo. Grassley said the documents had gone out and that "at least 1,000 people had access to information that … was telling people that the Catholic Church needed to be watched because it could be considered a terrorist organization."
Fox News Digital reached out to a phone number connected to Wray but did not receive a response.
Patel cited the CCP influence case in a June statement, declaring that "former FBI leadership withheld the facts and misled the public on China’s 2020 election interference. And they did so for political gain. This FBI is exposing all of it and giving Americans the truth they deserve."
Patel claimed the FBI in 2020 "buried" evidence "for political convenience" and thanked Grassley for helping the current FBI brass bring the topic to light.
During September 2020 testimony, Wray told Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., that the FBI had "not seen historically any kind of coordinated national voter fraud effort in a major election, whether by-mail or otherwise."
Wray added that the FBI had identified localized voter fraud and that his testimony was not intended to downplay the overarching threat.
Howell’s group argues those statements were belied by documents Patel gave to Congress in June that reportedly showed concerns in August 2020 that China had mass-produced such fake IDs to help former President Joe Biden.
The criminal referral against Wray also cites a related August 2020 seizure of 20,000 counterfeit licenses by Customs and Border Protection in Illinois. A Chicago port official told Fox News at the time that the proliferation "can lead to disastrous consequences."
It is unclear if any ballots were cast as part of the scheme.
During a 2020 address to the Hudson Institute, Wray did warn of the CCP threat to the upcoming election and beyond:
"China’s malign foreign influence campaign targets our policies, our positions, 24/7, 365 days-a-year. So it’s not an election‑specific threat. It’s really more of an all‑year, all‑the‑time threat. But certainly that has implications for elections, and they certainly have preferences that go along with that," he said.
The FBI and Department of Justice did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
[GatewayPundit] Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard confirmed that the 2020 election was compromised, and the federal government knew about it.
Earlier this year, during a high-level Cabinet meeting with President Trump, she disclosed that the Intelligence Community has been investigating election interference and tampering with electronic voting systems, including signs of foreign and domestic actors manipulating vote totals.
“I’ve got a long list of things that we’re investigating. We have the best going after this, election integrity being one of them,” Gabbard said.
She continued, “We have evidence of how these electronic voting systems have been vulnerable to hackers for a very long time and vulnerable to exploitation to manipulate the results of the votes being cast, which further drives forward your mandate to bring about paper ballots across the country so that voters can have faith in the integrity of our elections.”
Appearing on Benny Johnson’s show, Gabbard revealed that a whistleblower from CISA (the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency) came forward with alarming evidence showing the government was aware of massive vulnerabilities in electronic voting machines ahead of the 2020 election, but deliberately chose to stay silent.

Given all the uncovered illegal deeds from 2019 to 2024+. It sure sounds like we had a group in DC actively involved in treason and subversion.
In which Her Honer da Mayor gets overexcited that the appeals court upheld a temporary order, which says nothing about how the US Supreme Court will rule on the temporary order or on the case itself when it finally wends it way to those lofty heights.
[FoxNews] Appeals court denies Trump admin's request to lift limits
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday rejected the Trump administration's request for an emergency stay of a federal injunction restricting federal immigration agents from targeting migrants in Southern California based on characteristics such as ethnicity or language.
The three-judge panel issued a unanimous ruling that maintains the restraints on federal agents during immigration raids in the Los Angeles area.
The limitations include prohibiting targeting people based on their ethnicity, accent, language or location, including being at a Home Depot or a car wash.
The ruling requires federal agents to have more specific probable cause to make an arrest instead of generalized suspicion about a person's citizenship status.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass celebrated the court's decision as "a victory for the rule of law and for the City of Los Angeles."
"The Temporary Restraining Order that has been protecting our communities from immigration agents using racial profiling and other illegal tactics when conducting their cruel and aggressive enforcement raids and sweeps will remain in place for now," Bass said in a statement.
"We must still fight for justice," she continued. "Los Angeles will stand together against this Administration’s efforts to break up families who contribute every single day to the life, the culture and the economy of our great city. No matter what, I will continue to stand by you and fight for your rights, your dignity and your place in this city we all call home."
This comes after recent raids in the Los Angeles area targeted illegal immigrants working at local businesses, sparking weeks of unrest over immigration arrests and the administration's mass deportation efforts.
