HISTORIC ELECTION: President Trump Needs to Clean House

[[link removed]]
Judicial Watch congratulates President Trump on his remarkable
election as 47th president of the United States. The voters broadly
and directly repudiated the lawfare targeting Trump, as well as the
dangerous government abuses and contempt for the rule of law endemic
here in Washington, DC.

President Trump had to overcome unprecedented abuse by corrupt and
partisan prosecutors, politicians and judges – all of whom tried to
rig the election by smearing, raiding, investigating, prosecuting,
trying, convicting, and gagging President Trump.

In short, President Trump needs to clean house. The FBI and Justice
Department are irredeemably corrupt. And the government abusers who
targeted Trump and other innocent Americans should be subjected to
criminal investigation. And, as sunlight is the best disinfectant,
President Trump should open wide the Deep State files on politicized
Deep State lies and corruption – especially its war on the rule of
law, constitutional government, our First Amendment and other civil
rights.

We are ready, willing and able to help (and sue) for government
accountability as we continue our mission to uncover what the
government is up to and enforce the rule of law for election
integrity, immigration, and against woke discrimination and racism.

In my new book
[[link removed]
and Freedoms in
Peril_
[[link removed]]
I detail a long chain of
abuses officials and politicians have made against the American people
and call readers to battle for “the soul and survival of America.”
The book details how the progressive movement threatens America’s
most venerable institutions, undermining the core principles that make
this country a beacon of hope to the world.

Through open records laws, we frequently request records from the
government and sue when it refuses to release them. For example:

* Recently, we uncovered

[[link removed]]
from the
Department of Homeland Security which show,
[[link removed]
[[link removed]]
to what it told the media, that least one U.S. Secret Service agent
broke in to a hair salon and taped over the salon’s security camera
in Pittsfield, MA, during a July 27, 2024, campaign fundraising visit
by Vice President Kamala Harris.

* In October, we

on behalf of
Stand Together Against Racism and Radicalism in the Services, Inc.
(STARRS) against the U.S. Department of Defense for records regarding
the U.S. Air Force Academy’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)
plans.

* In August, we received
[[link removed]
[[link removed]]
from
the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA – a
component of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)) revealing that
CISA is trolling on social media and reporting on alleged “domestic
violent extremism” (DVE).

* In May, we reported on a
[[link removed]
message
[[link removed]]
left by an FBI
special agent for someone at the Secret Service in the context of the
raid on President Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.

* The U.S. Department of Justice
[[link removed]
asking
[[link removed]]
a federal court to allow the agency to keep secret the names of top
staffers working in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office that has
been targeting President Donald Trump and other Americans.

Let’s hope we enter a pro-transparency and anti-corruption era
under the new Trump administration. You can be sure that Judicial
Watch will remain front and center in these battles either way!

JUDICIAL WATCH SUES GARLAND JUSTICE DEPARTMENT OVER ELECTION ROBOCALL
CONTROVERSY

I don’t trust the Justice Department.

Judicial Watch just had to file a FOIA
[[link removed]
[[link removed]]
against the Department of Justice for records regarding the Justice
Department’s involvement in the League of Women Voters’
[[link removed]
Voting
Rights Act
[[link removed]]
lawsuit
concerning fake Biden robocalls conducted during New Hampshire primary
(_Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of Justice_
[[link removed]]
(No. 1:24-cv-03109)).

We sued after the Department of Justice failed to respond to a
September 24, 2024, FOIA request for:

> Records of the Office of Legal Counsel, including emails, text
> messages, voicemail messages, video conferences, briefings, notes,
> or other form of record regarding the Voting Rights Act (52 U.S.C.
> § 10307(b)); robocalls; Steve Kramer; Lingo Telecom, LLC; Voice
> Broadcasting Corporation; or Life Corporation.
In February, during this year’s presidential primary season in New
Hampshire, an elections consultant, Steve Kramer, commissioned
[[link removed]
fake robocall
[[link removed]]
using artificial intelligence (AI) to impersonate Joe Biden’s voice
to urge New Hampshire voters not to participate in the state’s
January 23 primary. New Hampshire’s attorney general charged Kramer
with
[[link removed]
felony counts
[[link removed]]
of voter suppression and 13 misdemeanor counts of impersonation of a
candidate.

Subsequently, the League of Women Voters
[[link removed]
a lawsuit
[[link removed]]
against Kramer and other firms involved in the fake call.

The Biden Justice Department clearly has something to hide. Was there
selective prosecution and collusion with allied leftist groups as a
favor to the Biden-Harris campaign? You can expect many more
lawsuits and investigations to uncover the full truth about this
thoroughly corrupt Justice Department.

OBAMA JUDGE SAYS MILITARY MUST COVER GENDER TRANSITION SURGERY

Can you imagine what General George Washington’s response would be
to what is going on in our military today? Our _Corruption Chronicles_
blog looks at

the gender
madness “encouraged” by an Obama judicial appointee.

HAPPY VETERANS DAY!

We would not have the great nation we have without the men and women
who sacrificed to defend it, and so it is fitting that every year on
November 11 we honor them.

That date was set in November 1919, when President Wilson proclaimed
November 11 as the first commemoration of Armistice Day with the
following words:

> “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled
> with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the
> country’s service and with gratitude for the victory, both because
> of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the
> opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and
> justice in the councils of the nations…”
We join all Americans in saluting our veterans – especially our
many veterans on staff here at Judicial Watch! God bless them and
God bless America!

Until next week,
