Not just a ‘conspiracy theory’: The TRUTH about Crossfire Hurricane
Crossfire Hurricane was a federal investigation that began with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her unsecured illegal home server.
“Not only did it have our nation’s most classified secrets, it also had evidence of the Clinton Foundation’s illegal pay for play foreign bribery schemes, where the Clinton Foundation was taking tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments, foreign entities,” Trump transition team member Mike Davis tells Liz Wheeler of “The Liz Wheeler Show.”
“When she was the secretary of state, she was doing favors in return for these donations. She got caught with her illegal home server, she took hammers to the devices,” he continues. “She destroyed the evidence. Obstruction of justice.”
Davis explains that her illegal home server was “almost certainly hacked by our adversaries.”
“What they were worried about with the Clinton campaign, with the Obama White House, with Joe Biden, was that this server would get leaked before the 2016 election by the Russians. And so, what did they do? They made up the Steele Dossier at Perkins Coie, a national law firm.”
“They used that Steele Dossier, just made up corrupt evidence, they gave it to the intel agencies, the Justice Department. They used that to get illegal spy warrants from the FISA courts on President Trump on his campaign, they continued to spy on him as the president of the United States, they hobbled his presidency, and they did this Crossfire Hurricane for the purpose of this,” he adds.
Had the evidence come out before the 2016 election, Davis explains that Clinton could have claimed it was a “dirty trick by the Trump campaign” in collusion with the Russians.
“And you say, ‘Oh, Mike, that sounds crazy, how can you be such a conspiracy theorist?’ Well, they did the same thing in 2020 with Hunter Biden’s laptop of the Biden family corruption,” he tells Wheeler.
Wheeler is impressed with Davis’ knowledge and assessment of the matter.
“This is why I want you to be attorney general,” Wheeler says. “I’m paying you a sincere compliment right now. I’m not just joking around about it. That’s the kind of understanding of the lawfare that has been targeting President Trump — and President Trump by the way is representative of us — this is the kind of understanding we need if we’re actually going to untangle this and reform these institutions.”

Executives Of Voting Machine Firm Suing To Silence Election Reporting Indicted For Bribery
A federal grand jury indicted Smartmatic executives for participating in an 'alleged bribery and money laundering scheme.'Disgraced Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez to resign — a month from now
Bob Menendez, the Democrat senior senator from New Jersey who was convicted of more than a dozen federal charges related to bribery and corruption last week, has finally tendered his resignation — effective a month from now.
On Tuesday, Sen. Menendez submitted a letter to Democrat New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, announcing his resignation and declaring that it will go into effect "on the close of business on August 20, 2024," more than a month after he was convicted of conspiracy, bribery, extortion, obstruction of justice, and acting as a foreign agent of Egypt while the senator was a chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, among other charges.
He hinted in his letter that he is resigning in part because his position as a senator could compromise his chances of a 'successful appeal.' 'Factual matters before the ethics committee are not privileged.'
In the letter, Menendez offered an explanation for the delay: "This will give time for my staff to transition to other possibilities, transfer constituent files that are pending, allow for an orderly process to choose an interim replacement, and for me to close out my Senate affairs."
The New York Post took a more cynical view, noting that resigning on Augusts 20 allows the senator, who apparently accepted bribes of cash, a Mercedes-Benz convertible, and even gold bars, to collect two more paychecks from the American taxpayer on his way out the door.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on October 29.
Menendez, 70, cut his teeth in the tough world of Union City, New Jersey, politics by testifying against his mentor, Union City Mayor William Musto, for alleged corruption in the early 1980s but eventually involved himself in the same corrupt political machine, apparently.
From the time Menendez was appointed to the Senate seat in 2006 by Democrat Gov. Jon Corzine, who vacated the seat after winning the state gubernatorial race, Menendez has been dogged by local and federal prosecutors, fending off accusations of funneling public funds to individuals and nonprofits in exchange for favors.
Menendez likewise maintains his innocence in the recent case against him, despite the conviction, which he intends to appeal. In fact, he hinted in his letter that he is resigning in part because his position as a senator could compromise his chances of a "successful appeal." "Factual matters before the ethics committee are not privileged," he remarked. "This is evidenced by the Committee's Staff Director and Chief Counsel being called to testify at my trial."
Menendez is up for re-election this November, and though he vowed not to run again as a Democrat, he is a declared independent candidate. Democrat nominee Rep. Andy Kim is expected to win the race handily, though, and Menendez has until August 16 to withdraw.
Once Menendez leaves the Senate, Gov. Murphy will be allowed to appoint an interim replacement until the winner of the election takes office in January. Murphy is not expected to name Kim, in order to avoid the appearance of attempting to sway the election.
