Afederal appeals court has breathed new life into a lawsuit brought by a London-based academic against one of the FBI's confidential informants during the Russia collusion probe, litigation that is likely to focus new attention on the quality of evidence that led the bureau to investigate former President Donald Trump and his cohorts during the 2016 election.

There has been a flurry of new legal activity this month in Svetlana Lokhova's lawsuit in federal court in Virginia against former FBI confidential human source Stefan Halper since the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals concluded U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema abused her authority in dismissing the lawsuit a year ago.

"We conclude that the court could not have properly concluded that Lokhova's complaint … had absolutely no chance of success," the appeals court ruled in April in a unanimous 3-0 decision that reversed Brinkema's dismissal of the case and her order of a penalty against Lokhova for filing an allegedly frivolous lawsuit.

"We conclude that the district court abused its discretion in finding Lokhova's complaint frivolous and concluding on that basis that its filing violated Rule 11," the appeals court ruled. "The judgment of the district court — as reflected in its orders of May 5, 2021 and July 9, 2021 — is therefore reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings."

FBI Agents and National Archives Goon Are Harassing 2020 Michigan Trump Electors

A ‘Special Agent’ with the National Archives is approaching and harassing 2020 Trump electors in Michigan today on behalf of the January 6th Committee. One elector has been served a subpoena by the FBI for the January 6th committee, an anti-Trump witch hunt that continues harassing Trump supporters.

This is likely in response to the claims by Democrats that Trump electors committed ‘fraud’ in 2020 when they submitted an alternative slate of electors after the rampant uninvestigated fraud in the 2020 Presidential election. This allegation about ‘fraudulent electors’ has been repeated enough times on Twitter and in the media that many overlook the claim by the Trump electors that they were merely proposing an alternative slate so that authorities would have the ability to look into the systemic voter fraud allegations that were never investigated.

The Agent contacting and threatening 2020 Trump electors is David Stupar, whose business card is above. National Archives Agent Stupar is a glorified librarian without any meaningful legal authority.

Even though the mainstream media continues to prefer to call allegations and evidence of fraud in the 2020 election as ‘the big lie’ the persecution and prosecution of those who attempted to stand up and challenge the official election narrative continues. Unable to convince over half of Americans who know there was voter fraud in 2020, the government has resorted to one of its favored tactics to silence dissent: persecution.

Reports are that one elector has already been served with a subpoena today by the National Archives ‘Special Agent’ and two FBI Agents from Flint who are accompanying him. The elector served, Kathy Berden, has not responded to a request for comment. Elector Amy Facchinello was also served.

Alternative slates of electors have been generated in the past, most recently in 2000 during the Bush v. Gore election where competing slates of electors were similarly proposed as the parties were litigating the election results.

The key issue that the media conveniently ignores is that the Constitution mandates that proposed electors meet and are certified at a specific date and time at the state Capitol. Even if an investigation later revealed systemic voter fraud and called the results into question, without properly certified electors at the right location at the right time, there would be no way to preserve the ability to cast votes reflecting the actual legal votes.

Instead of properly investigating alleged 2020 election fraud, the allegations were ignored, courts refused to hold hearings to consider any evidence, and the media ‘debunked’ claims without any investigation.

According to those close to the electors, the key distinction that the electors were being sent to accompany and not replace the Biden electors is being ignored by the media and their left-wing allies in prosecutorial power. The electors that were being sent were not replacing Biden’s, they were being sent alongside in case they were needed, according to the pro-Trump electors. Radical leftist Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has already said she might prosecute the Trump electors.

A request for comment sent to Attorney Ian Northon, who advised the Trump electors in the 2020 election dispute, went unanswered.
