Absolutely nothing will happen. It’s a dog and pony show that only accomplishes political grandstanding and wasting of tax dollars. Completely useless exercise.

If we're being honest, a lot of stuff needs to be black opp-ed. Namely the murderers that were let into this country when the flood gates opened under Potato. Why are we sending them back just to be let back in if and when the Dems get back in power? Black op them.

Deprivation of Rights Under the Color of Law.
- Makes it a federal crime to use your government office to violate an individual's legal or constitutional rights. 
- Brennan allegedly used his authority as CIA Director to manipulate the 2017 intelligence report to imply President Trump was a puppet of Russia

OCTOBER IS CRITICAL

- In addition to Brennan Grand Jury appearance, longtime Comey ally and Columbia Law professor Daniel Richman is also under subpoena
- Richman's statements to federal investigators about his role in media leaks to benefit Comey under scrutiny
- Media leaks to protect Comey's image included Clinton email and Russia collusion probes
-Comey's trial over "seashell threat" against POTUS also scheduled for October

CONTEXT: KEY PLAYER IN FLORIDA GRAND CONSPIRACY CASE EXITS

Joe diGenova's resignation Thursday seemed abrupt, but I understand tension with Justice Department leadership in Washington D.C. had been building for months.

Justice Department officials in Washington favored a false-statements case in D.C. for Brennan, the only realistic place for a charge of lying to Congress.

Brennan testified that the Democratic-funded Steele dossier, which portrayed Trump as a Russian asset, was not used in the 2017 intelligence assessment about the election. However, the discredited dossier was part of the package and in related language

Sources familiar with the matter say diGenova argued that an indictment, let alone a conviction, from a D.C. jury was unlikely.

diGenova then pursued leads that could theoretically support charges in Florida, where juries are viewed as more favorable to the Trump administration.

TIMING: President Trump has been very public about his frustration with the lack of Florida indictments.
An indictment before the midterms would likely be welcomed by the White House.

In response to my questions, a Justice Department spokesperson provided this statement. “We are grateful to Joe diGenova for his many years of service to the Department. The Attorney General thanks him for his work these past five months alongside the great team of experienced prosecutors in the Southern District of Florida, led by U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones.”

A source familiar with the issue insisted there was "no disagreement, but rather cooperative discussion" on how to proceed in the Brennan case.

Wanna see something funny? Brennan was subpoenaed the other day, but we are just now hearing about it today. I wonder why that is.

Now check the date here on this drop.

I think the FBi and orders from Garland for the MAL raid needs settled or it could happen again.

There's plenty of paper trail to refresh his memory.

9. On September 11, 2026, I along with co-counsel, participated in a conference call with Kurt Olsen and three other members of the prosecution team to discuss the grand jury subpoena served on my client. In that call, Mr. Olsen fielded our inquiries and indicated there are multiple “viable” grand jury investigations, including a “far-reaching” investigation in Fort Pierce that includes “issues at Mar-a-Lago and beyond” into whether President Trump had his civil rights violated. Mr. Olsen also confirmed there continued to be an additional investigation relating only to Director Brennan’s statements before Congress in the District of Columbia. Mr. Olsen explained that Director Brennan was a “target” of the narrower investigation, and the investigation for which he was now being subpoenaed was the “more wide-ranging conspiracy,” as to which our client was a “subject.” However, he explained that the narrower investigation was “still viable, ” and that the issues in the narrower investigation might also be part of the larger investigation, such as being overt acts.

That’s the theory of a case focused on 18 U.S.C. § 241, and/or/maybe § 242.

Which tracks with what SFP has been talking about for awhile now. Trying to tie Mar a Lago into a broader conspiracy for venue and stretching of SOL purposes.

Aileen Cannon’s signed warrant is going to sit as an impediment in that chain (among other things). There’s irony in that considering her role in dismissing the Mar a Lago case.

You know...about 9 years ago...I used to get fired up about this kind of shite. Now...after watching and learning that this NEVER amounts to jack shite...I pretty much ignore this stuff. For your own sanity, I suggest you do the same.(as much as I wish these aholes would get drug out). Sadly..for whatever reason, this will disappear like everything else. We are pretty much doomed to endure this garbage....so my suggestion is to take your significant other to dinner and just forget all of this stupidity. Nothing we can do about it...and this nonsense is just nonsense.

I really want the explanation of how the MAL search was illegal when Aileen Cannon said it wasn't.

And if the MAL search wasn't illegal, how do they get a nexus with Florida?

Not to mention Trump and Co. are going to run into the same timing problem as Jack Smith did with him.

Every substantive ruling is going to the 11th Circuit and then SCOTUS. No way they get a trial within the remaining two years of Trump’s term.

Probably why Blanche was telling Joe D to do it now

I've held off, but I need to say it. A lot of people assume the florida tie in is only the MAL raid.

I don't think that's the case, because, as you mentioned, that was a legal search.

Nobody outside of the Florida team for the DOJ knows what's going on.
