The walls of government secrecy around the “Russiagate” scandal are tumbling down. In September, former FBI Director James Comey was indicted on charges of false statements and obstruction of Congress; a federal judge threw out the case this week but Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed “an immediate appeal.”

Judicial Watch announced that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice for “hidden” records from former FBI Director James Comey’s era that were referenced during a Fox News interview with Deputy Director Dan Bongino (Judicial Watch v U.S. Department of Justice (No.1:25-cv-04047)).

In the early morning hours of October 13, 2022, heavily armed federal agents raided the St. Nicholas monastic complex in Marblehead, MA, and arrested Father Brian Andrew Bushell, 50, and General Counsel Tracey M.A. Stockton, 66. The Biden Justice Department accused Bushell of being a “purported” monk and alleged that he and Stockton improperly used Covid relief funds.

The bleeding continues full throttle at the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), the agency plagued by scandals for secretly spying on Americans that just a few years ago received a staggering $107 billion taxpayer bailout to mitigate its chronic losses. USPS is under water yet again closing fiscal year 2025, which ended in September, with a net loss of $9 billion despite receiving a $916 million increase in operating revenue over 2024, for a total of $80.5 billion to perform its duties. Postmaster General David Steiner, who inherited a huge mess when he took over in July, says the USPS must explore new revenue opportunities to improve the agency’s business model. “More importantly, we must operate more efficiently and compete more effectively to best perform our public service mission,” he stressed.
