Trump explains why he took DOJ to Supreme Court: Political prosecution 'has to stop'

Former president also suggests U.S. could starve Putin’s war machine by ramping up energy production, driving down price of oil.

Former President Donald Trump says his two most recent legal strikes — suing CNN for defamation and taking the Biden Justice Department to the Supreme Court — aim to restore fairness in America's courts of law and public opinion. In an interview Tuesday evening hours after his legal team took its battle over presidential records to the nation's nine justices, Trump told the television showthat the case was about erasing politics from DOJ and the FBI.

He said government agencies treated him far differently than Hilary Clinton, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush when disputes about classified records, missing records or personal materials arose and that his healthy poll numbers are a sign Americans understand he's being treated differently.

"It's a weaponization by the DOJ," Trump said in a wide-ranging interview with Just the News and Real America's Voice. "And I thinkit's just something that has to stop. So we fight that battle, I think we're doing very well in that battle.

"And I think the public agrees with us because you know better than anybody, my poll numbers are higher now than they ever were. So I think the public understands what's happening."

Trump's poll numbers have risen since he left office, and a Washington Post-ABC News poll since the Mar-a-Lago raid found Trump was leading President Joe Biden 48% to 46% among registered voters in a hypothetical 2024 matchup. Trump on Tuesday asked the Supreme Court in a motion filed with Justice Clarence Thomas to intervene in the fight over records the FBI seized from his Florida home.

His motion asked the high court to issue an emergency order that would restore a court-appointed special master's authority over about 100 documents with classification markings found at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate during the Aug. 8 search. Such an orderwould allow the former president to argue the memos are covered by executive privilege or were declassified before he left office.

"Any limit on the comprehensive and transparent review of materials seized in the extraordinary raid of a president's home erodes public confidence in our system of justice," his lawyers argued. Trump suggested records that were shipped from the White House to his estate when his presidency ended were never at risk, making the raid in August unnecessary.

"They talk about us. I think we were the most secure place," he said. "You take a look at this, we were probably the most secure."

Federally backed censorship machine raises separation of powers, election meddling questions

By Greg Piper1 of 3

"I just need to find out how many people I need to name on lawsuits and the social media companies," Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says regarding DHS-supported partnership's possible actions against her campaign. Elections expert says censorship could "absolutely" qualify as in-kind contribution.

Afederal agency-backed censorship machine that affected thousands of web URLs and millions of social posts during the 2020 campaignput a focus on some members of Congress and candidates for federal office, raising concerns about the separation of powers and election meddling.

Four House members, including Republican leader Kevin McCarthy of California and oft-censored Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, and one Senate candidate are named in the after-action report by the Election Integrity Partnership, set up "in consultation" with the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

The consortium of four private entities, led by Stanford and University of Washington research centers, mass-reported alleged misinformation for 100 days before the election and about two weeks after, targeting Just the News among other news organizations. Itclaimed a success rate of 35% for content removal, labeling and "soft-blocking."

CISA and the DHS-funded Elections Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center, as well as the State Department's Global Engagement Center and the Democratic National Committee, could also submit misinformation "tickets" through the consortium to tech platforms.

Interference in digital communications by lawmakers and candidates"absolutely" could qualify as in-kind contributionsunder the Federal Election Campaign Act, former Kansas Attorney General Phill Kline told the John Solomon Reports podcast.

He compared the federally backed consortium to "the private money that turned the urban core election centers into partisan campaign turnout centers" for then-candidate Joe Biden, and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's COVID-19 restrictions on some freedom of assembly "while she marched" in Black Lives Matter protests.

"And this type of entanglement where government is communicating with oligarchs … thatmakes the private sector a government actor," said Kline, who directs the Thomas More Society's Amistad Project.

Greene told the "Just the News Not Noise" TV show she is considering suing for infringement of her free speech both as a candidate and congresswoman-elect and working with other lawmakers to launch an investigation that starts with evidence preservation letters this month.

"I've already talked to an attorney … and I'm owed damages," said Greene, whose personal Twitter account was permanently suspended in January for purported COVID-19 misinformation. "I just need to find out how many people I need to name on lawsuits and the social media companies."

She said "the Democrats are constantly attacking us about Russian collusion" while engaged in this "unbelievable conspiracy" involving the DNC and "private companies that could pick and choose whose posts and whose tweets were allowed to stay and whose got taken down."

House Homeland Security Committee member Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) told the podcast that the Energy and Commerce Committee will be "extraordinarily busy in holding Big Tech accountable" if Republicans win back the chamber and Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) becomes chair.

They will be looking at "where's the line drawn between a private company and a private enterprise, and the new public square, which these platforms have become," Cammack said. "People are going to see for the first time just how vast this entire operation of censorship" against conservative voices has been "and for how long."

The revelations show that "we've been so out of balance" on checks and balances in the federal system, where now the executive branch "essentially lord[s] over the legislative," as then-President Obama did with his "pen and phone" strategy, Cammack said.

"If Congress doesn't assert their authority," she said, "then what the heck are we doing?Why even bother having the representatives of the people in Washington D.C., if we're just going to have essentially a one-man show playing out in Washington?"

The consortium report doesn't spell out exactly the results it got against lawmakers and candidates. "Greene leveraged multiple social media platforms simultaneously to spread Stop the Steal messages and promote herself" in her successful House race, including through a petition that "redirected to a donation page," it says.

The report puts scare quotes around Greene's use of the term "censored" to describe what the consortium calls her tweets being "labeled as disputed and possibly misleading."

Such labels have been "weaponized to make the case that platforms allegedly have political agendas," and account removals portrayed as efforts to "cover up the truth," which contributes to "meta-misinformation about the intentions of the platforms."

It cites McCarthy's June 23, 2020 tweet about Twitter censoring then-President Trump for saying "people should stop breaking the law" — an apparent reference to the riots that followed George Floyd's death — to illustrate this "techlash" against platforms for their "policy interventions."

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.) is cited for sharing a Project Veritas video about Rep. Ilhan Omar's (D-Minn.) connection to a "cash-for-ballots harvesting scheme" within 15 minutes of the investigative journalism group's founder James O'Keefe posting it.

Because Donald Trump Jr. separately posted the video a few minutes later, "this suggested that the Trump campaign may have had access to the video before the general public, raising questions of coordination," the report says.

It portrays Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) as especially dangerous because he filed a lawsuit against the state's mail-in voting lawbased on "unsupported claims that had circulated throughout online communities." The suit would have invalidated "over two million Pennsylvania ballots" if it hadn't been thrown out in court.

Finally, the report devotes several discussions to Senate candidate Shiva Ayyadurai, who made "compilation videos" that were widely shared in tweets about election fraud and whose arguments were used in lawyer Sidney Powell's "Kraken" lawsuit to overturn Georgia's election results.

After his failed primary campaign, Ayyadurai promoted a "conspiracy theory that computer tabulation systems systematically switched votes in favor of his opponent." He also posted a "fraught analysis" that "fed into misleading narratives about Dominion voting software" and "switched votes."

Former Tennessee congressional candidate Robby Starbuck, who lost a legal battle to stay on the state GOP primary ballot, shows up in the report's section on "repeat spreaders of election misinformation" on Twitter.

In a statement to Just the News, he said the "Orwellian named" consortium smeared him shortly before Twitter and Instagram imposed a "search ban" so people couldn't find his accounts in the thick of his campaign, while "thousands" of users told him "those platforms forced their accounts to unfollow me."

"This illegal, political action by the Federal government to interfere in an election and stop a candidate they fear is unprecedented in American history for a Congressional race," Starbuck wrote.

"My family came from Cuba, where communism resulted in enemies lists being made by the elite to target those they feared the most, government using every means available to silence the opposition — economic ruin, fraudulent elections, a central committee that removed candidates from the ballot, total Marxist control of the media, academia and every pillar of culture," he said.

"I ask the American people now: What's different in America today?"

The consortium didn't respond to queries about whether it alerted social media companies to posts by the four members of Congress and Senate candidate, or whether anyone from the federal government, DNC and the otherliberal organizations with "ticket" privileges— NAACP and Common Cause — had contact with the consortium or filed tickets about them.

It also didn't answer if and how the tech platforms responded to the consortium's own misinformation reports and those it facilitated, and how that might implicate the separation of powers.

This is the IEP consortium that interfered with the 2020 election, blocked users on SM and they wrote a 297 page report on their accomplishments and of course "Russia Interference in the Election". This is fucking scary how many government agencies and non profits, etc. banded together and censored 35% of all users on Social Media during the 2020 election, and they are still engaged in it today. Truth Social fucked up their plans. pdf attached is the introduction on their website of what they did.

Who We Are: ==EIP and Its Members

The Election Integrity Partnership was formed to enable real-time information exchange between election officials, government agencies, civil society organizations, social media platforms, the media, and the research community==. It aimed to identify and analyze online mis- and disinformation, and to communicate important findings across stakeholders. It represented a novel collaboration between four of the nation’s leading institutions focused on researching mis- and disinformation in the social media landscape:

• The Stanford Internet Observatory (SIO)

• The University of Washington’s Center for an Informed Public (CIP)

• Graphika

• The Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab (DFRLab)

What We Did

The EIP’s primary goals were to: (1) identify mis- and disinformation before it went viral and during viral outbreaks, (2) share clear and accurate counter-messaging, and (3) document the specific misinformation actors, transmission pathways, narrative evolutions, and information infrastructures that enabled these narratives to propagate. To identify the scope of our work, we built a framework to compare the policies of 15 social media platforms across four categories:

• Procedural interference: misinformation related to actual election procedures

• Participation interference: content that includes intimidation to personal safety or deterrence to participation in the election process

• Fraud: content that encourages people to misrepresent themselves to affect the electoral process or illegally cast or destroy ballots

• Delegitimization of election results: content aiming to delegitimize election results on the basis of false or misleading claims

The EIP used an innovative internal research structure that leveraged the capabilities of the partner organizations through a tiered analysis model based on “tickets” collected internally and from our external stakeholders. Of the tickets we processed, 72% were related to delegitimization of the election.

Key Takeaways

Misleading and false claims and narratives coalesced into the metanarrative of a “stolen election,” which later propelled the January 6 insurrection.

• Right-leaning “blue-check” influencers transformed one-off stories, sometimes based on honest voter concerns or genuine misunderstandings, into cohesive narratives of systemic election fraud.

• Warped stories frequently centered on mail-in voting and accusations of found, discarded, or destroyed ballots, particularly in swing states. Misleading framing of real-world incidents often took the form of falsely assigning intent, exaggerating impact, falsely framing the date, or altering locale.

• The metanarrative of a “stolen election” coalesced into the #StopTheSteal movement, encompassing many of the previous narratives. The narrative appeared across platforms and quickly inspired online organizing and offline protests, leading ultimately to the January 6 rally at the White House and the insurrection at the Capitol.

• Fact-checking of narratives had mixed results; non-falsifiable narratives presented a particular challenge. In some cases, social media platform fact-checks risked drawing further attention to the claims they sought to debunk.

The production and spread of misinformation was multidirectional and participatory.

• Individuals participated in the creation and spread of narratives. Bottom-up false and misleading narratives started with individuals identifying real-world or one-off incidents and posting them to social media. Influencers and hyperpartisan media leveraged this grassroots content, assembling it into overarching narratives about fraud, and disseminating it across platforms to their large audiences. Mass media often picked up these stories after they had reached a critical mass of engagement.

• Top-down mis- and disinformation moved in the opposite direction, with claims first made by prominent political operatives and influencers, often on mass media, which were then discussed and shared by people across social media properties….

Anons Serious call to digRead through the 297 After action report (link below). They started this with DHS, CISA and other gov agencies (yes Krebs in mid early to mid 2020). Screenshots from the final report attached.

It's basically a roadmap of how the government and these organizations colluded to destroy anyone's ability to show the pure corruption of our government and those orgs that want to silence free speech. There is so much information in the report,they are basically admitting to treason and violation of the constitution and bill of rights. This is exactly what Nazi's did before the full crack down.

I'm not kidding "this is fucking YUGE"!

If you read even a portion of the report, it's obvious it was very similar to the Time article on how they took down Trump in 2020, a major coordinated collusion and conspiracy to destroy Trump #1 but then inject so many lies into the system that regular citizens are being programmed not to trust themselves, and they willingly will be controlled. This report is a confessional account of how all of them betrayed the US and citizens. If anything brings Gitmo into the mix, this should be it.

ecosystem.

Public Research BriefingsOn October 13, 2020, the EIP hosted the first in a series of weekly research briefings designed to share the Partnership’s rapid-response research and policy analysis more broadly ahead of Election Day. Before each briefing, the EIP used its Twitter account, @2020Partnership, to announce the briefing and promote

attendance. These briefings, scheduled for 30 minutes, were hosted virtually… The briefings were open to the public. __The first briefing hosted approximately 12 journalists, but as interest grew, so did briefing attendance, with anaverage of 120 attendees on election week briefings and a peak of 174 attendeesat the briefing the day after the election. After each briefing, the EIP communications

lead followed up with journalists in attendance__.

On Election Day, the EIP hosted a morning and afternoon briefing to report on

observations of activity that day. Reporters and editors from outlets that regularly attended including Washington Post, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, USA Today, MIT

I've only posted some info from 15 pages, I'm sure there are some autists still around that can create the diagram of all the traitors and organizers. This report seems to me bigger and much more direct truth in finding out info, they hide nothing on their plans and what they did. I wonder why they think they are legally safe, because they act so arrogant about what they did.

Son of a bitch, they are continuing to influence and get citizens to rat on other people. Contacting CISA is akin to putting someone in the DC Gulag

>>17635325 They are doing it because Dearie said it was gonna fast track the review and get it done in early October, contrary to what Cannon allowed for the end of Nov. Dearie seems to want to get it out before the Election to influence the election, probably with the determination, "nothing to see here".

Trump will be going back to the SC now.
