Wife of ‘Proud Boys’ Member Imprisoned for Self-Defense Pleads for Help for Their Three Children
ZC Kinsman, the wife of “Proud Boys” member John Kinsman, posted a YouTube video pleading for help and support after her husband was ripped away from his family and his young baby daughter, Liberty.
“My name is ZC Kinsman, and this is my daughter Liberty, and her dad John Kinsman is currently serving four years in New York state penitentiary with his friend Max for the crime of defending himself against a domestic terrorist organization, ANTIFA, who decided that the night of the speech that my husband attended that they were going to vandalize the club,” she said.
Big League Politics reported on what happened at the Metropolitan Republican Club in New York City when they hosted Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes:
The night before a sold out event hosted by CRTV host Gavin McInnes, the Metropolitan Republican Club, where the event is being held, was vandalized by what appears to be Antifa agitators… His event will relate around the life of Otoya Yamaguchi, a Japanese nationalist who assassinated the head of the Japanese Socialist Party in 1960. The actions of Yamaguchi are seen as a powerful act of resistance against the rise of communism by many… He is the founder of the Proud Boys, a multi-racial fraternal organization made up of men who believe that Western culture is the best culture. His founding of the group has brought him a rash of controversy in the past two years. The Proud Boys, despite simply being a men’s drinking club, are most known for street brawls instigated by their sworn enemy, antifa. Antifa is known for physically assaulting anybody they consider a Nazi or fascist, which is anybody to the right of Hillary Clinton. So when the Proud Boys started seeing them attack conservative groups largely made up of elderly people, or college students not able to adequately defend themselves, they stood up. “If they pick fights with us, we’re going to finish them,” McInnes has publicly stated.
The Proud Boys certainly finished the fight that ANTIFA started outside of the MET in 2018, but the men who stood to face the communist threat head on have paid a great price for their patriotic actions.
Kinsman explained what happened: “My husband leaves the club with a police escort, and six members of ANTIFA with masks on their face, which is illegal in New York. They show up with masks on their face. They intercept the group that my husband was in, threw a bottle of urine, and then… a fight breaks out. My husband turns a corner and sees this, and he jumps in to help because ANTIFA is known to carry weapons and God knows what else.”
She noted that left-wing prosecutors essentially teamed with the ANTIFA terrorists and used their propaganda to build the case against her husband and other Proud Boys, while letting ANTIFA members off with slaps on the wrist or no punishment at all for instigating the conflict.
Kinsman also said that the media was in on this conspiracy, as they refused to take pictures of her, an African-American woman, in court so they could paint her husband as a violent Nazi.
“I am even mentioned in the trial by name, but that never made it in the papers,” she explained.
“Back to the obvious right now that Trump supporters are the real problem, and that seems to be what everyone wants to agree on. That we’re the problem. We’re the Nazis, and that’s how you justify the violence against us,” Kinsman added.

Attorney General Bill Barr is asserting his independence and distancing himself from President Trump ’ s agenda , criticizing Trump ’ s comments about the Roger Stone case and dropping charges against disgraced former FBI spook Andrew McCabe .
“ I think it ’ s time to stop the tweeting about Department of Justice criminal cases , ” Barr said to ABC News Chief Justice Correspondent Pierre Thomas .

” This came in response to President Trump calling out the deep state ’ s railroading of his long-time confidant Roger Stone .
Trump has also hammered McCabe , the disgraced former FBI Deputy Director , for his alleged leaking in order to drive the Russian collusion investigation that yielded no evidence that Trump and the Russians worked together .
He also admitted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it , according to a report from the New York Post .
Despite his foul behavior , Barr ’ s office announced today that the federal case against McCabe would be dropped .
“ We write to inform you that , after careful consideration , the Government has decided not to pursue criminal charges against your client , Andrew G. McCabe , ” wrote prosecutors J.P. Cooney and Molly Gaston at the behest of U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia , Tim Shea .
“ Based on the totality of the circumstances @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Government at this time , we consider the matter closed , ” they added .

“This account has been terminated due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube’s policy prohibiting hate speech,” they announced at the link of Fuentes’ former channel.
My Youtube channel has been wrongly terminated today for an alleged violation of “hate speech” policy.

Fuentes (@NickJFuentes) February 14, 2020
Fuentes has come to prominence in recent months as his fans have frequently asked pointed questions toward conservatives like TPUSA Founder Charlie Kirk, Congressman Dan Crenshaw, and “Never Trump” leader Ben Shapiro who they feel are insufficiently right-wing. This has caused Fuentes to receive increased mainstream scrutiny, with many of his critics alleging he is a Holocaust denier, a charge that he vehemently denies.
Others who have been banished from popular social media platforms are speaking out on Fuentes’ behalf.
“Nick Fuentes has been banned from YouTube,” journalist and Congressional candidate Laura Loomer wrote on her Telegram account. “Not good. Censorship is getting out of control. He shouldn’t have been silenced.”
“The government hasn’t done a damn thing about censorship of conservatives online. Zero. The “conservative billionaires” have done less than zero,” noted Jacob Wohl.
“Reminder: “Hate speech” means being funny and popular while Right-wing,” banished provocateur Milo Yiannopolous wrote on Telegram.
“I would not be surprised if Michelle Malkin starts losing her accounts soon. Facebook’s rationale for nuking me was my support for Tommy Robinson, and she’s gone way further than that,” Yiannopolous added.
Malkin, who will be appearing alongside Fuentes at the America First Political Action Conference in Washington D.C. later this month, denounced YouTube in a post, also assigning the blame to “Conservative Inc.” voices for agitating against Fuentes.
Even Shapiro, who has a public feud with Fuentes, has come out against his censorship by YouTube.
Nick Fuentes is an absolute disgusting s***show. But if he was banned for his idiotic, garbage viewpoints rather than for violent threats, YouTube shouldn't be deplatforming him. — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) February 14, 2020
Other prominent right-wing voices have voiced opposition to YouTube’s censorship of Fuentes as well:
Banning Nick Fuentes is another act of political censorship by YouTube. Lots of conservatives go around college campuses saying they believe even offensive, disagreeable speech shouldn't be censored. I look forward to them all being both vocal and consistent today. — Allum Bokhari (@LibertarianBlue) February 14, 2020

Virginia State Police are Silent About Door-to-Door Enforcement of Suppressor Ban
AWR Hawkins of Breitbart reported that on February 10, 2020, the Virginia State Police public relations department entertained the idea of conducting door-to-door enforcement of a suppressor ban.
During a conversation on the phone that day, the Virginia State Police public relations department did not dismiss the idea of going door-to-door to enforce a suppressor ban.
According to Hawkins, Breitbart News reached out to the Virginia State Police and pointed out that Democrats are passing legislation to ban a number of firearm accessories. They called attention to the suppressor ban which is currently making progress in the state legislature and inquired if, “Virginia State Police will go door-to-door to get those.”
In typical fashion, the public relations official did not give a direct yes” or “no” answer on the question of door-to-door enforcement. Instead, she said, “[No laws] have gone into effect, no laws have been formalized or finalized.”
She added that they do not, “do the speculation because nothing’s been passed into formal law,” but set the record straight that their job is to “enforce and comply with the laws” that are on the books.
On February 9, 2020, Breitbart News provided coverage on legislation banning suppressors. The legislation received enough votes from Democrats in the House of Delegates Public Safety Committee. The Washington Examiner reported that the ban is expected to move out of the full House, and then move on to the Virginia Senate.
The suppressor ban bill also bans “high capacity” magazines.
Virginia Democrats are not wasting time to impose their will in the Virginia legislature and start slowly chipping away at Virginians’ right to bear arms.

Bernie Sanders 2020 ‘Win’ in NH Netted a LOSS OF 80,000 VOTES from 2016
Despite a victory in the New Hampshire primary on February 11, 2020, the Sanders campaign should be a bit worried.
Sanders had a relatively lackluster performance this year compared to his 2016 efforts in the New Hampshire primary.
Here’s the facts:
In 2016, Bernie walloped Hillary by 22% in the Live Free or Die state.
That meant that the 2016 Sanders campaign received 152,193 votes according to the state’s official totals.
But flash forward to Tuesday night, Bernie only clocked in right at 76,000 votes.
That’s a loss of almost 80,000 VOTES!
There’s more people from 2016 who decided to vote against Sanders, or not vote at all, than voted for him in 2020.
Bad news for the Bern, no matter how you slice it.
The energy that many Sanders boosters were boasting about heading into the primaries appears to not be present looking at 2020 results so far.
However, President Donald Trump’s performance during the primaries was a whole different story:
Trump received a NET INCREASE of over 20,000 votes from his primary performance in 2016 to 2020.
President Trump received 85.6% of the vote, with 129,696 people voting for him in total.
All in all, things look good for President Trump’s re-election bid.
Nevertheless, he should not let his foot off the gas and continue campaigning on immigration restriction and call out the radicalism of the modern-day Democrat Party.

ZC Kinsman , the wife of “ Proud Boys ” member John Kinsman , posted a YouTube video pleading for help and support after her husband was ripped away from his family and his young baby daughter , Liberty .
“ My name is ZC Kinsman , and this is my daughter Liberty , and her dad John Kinsman is currently serving four years in New York state penitentiary with his friend Max for the crime of defending himself against a domestic terrorist organization , ANTIFA , who decided that the night of the speech that my husband attended that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” she said .
Big League Politics reported on what happened at the Metropolitan Republican Club in New York City when they hosted Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes : The night before a sold out event hosted by CRTV host Gavin McInnes , the Metropolitan Republican Club , where the event is being held , was vandalized by what appears to be Antifa agitators… take our poll - story continues below Should Mitt Romney be EXPELLED from the U.S. Senate by the GOP for his vote to convict President Trump ?

His event will relate around the life of Otoya Yamaguchi , a Japanese nationalist who assassinated the head of the Japanese Socialist Party in 1960 .
The actions of Yamaguchi are seen as a powerful act of resistance against the rise of communism by many… He is the founder of the Proud Boys , a multi-racial fraternal organization made up of men who believe that Western culture is the best culture .
His founding of the group has brought him a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years .
The Proud Boys , despite simply being a men ’ s drinking club , are most known for street brawls instigated by their sworn enemy , antifa .
Antifa is known for physically assaulting anybody they consider a Nazi or fascist , which is anybody to the right of Hillary Clinton .
So when the Proud Boys started seeing them attack conservative groups largely made up of elderly people , or college students not able to adequately defend themselves , they stood up .
“ If they pick fights with us @ @ @ @ @ @ @ them , ” McInnes has publicly stated .
The Proud Boys certainly finished the fight that ANTIFA started outside of the MET in 2018 , but the men who stood to face the communist threat head on have paid a great price for their patriotic actions .
Kinsman explained what happened : “ My husband leaves the club with a police escort , and six members of ANTIFA with masks on their face , which is illegal in New York .
They show up with masks on their face .
They intercept the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ threw a bottle of urine , and then… a fight breaks out .
My husband turns a corner and sees this , and he jumps in to help because ANTIFA is known to carry weapons and God knows what else.
” She noted that left-wing prosecutors essentially teamed with the ANTIFA terrorists and used their propaganda to build the case against her husband and other Proud Boys , while letting ANTIFA members off with slaps on the wrist or no punishment at all for instigating the conflict .
Kinsman also said that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as they refused to take pictures of her , an African-American woman , in court so they could paint her husband as a violent Nazi .
“ I am even mentioned in the trial by name , but that never made it in the papers , ” she explained .
“ Back to the obvious right now that Trump supporters are the real problem , and that seems to be what everyone wants to agree on .
That we ’ re the problem .

Kinsman ’ s full video appeal can be seen here : She hopes to raise awareness of the injustice that has happened to her husband , and will cause their three children to grow up for years without their father .
She has started a website JusticeForLiberty.com to raise funds to help keep food on her family ’ s plate while her husband serves his sentence .
“ They just moved Max and John to the Canadian border which will make it very expensive for their families @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to pay for all this .
Please donate anything you can .
These men are political prisoners and their only real crime here is supporting the president , ” the website states .
While Trump supporters are targeted with harassment , violence , doxxing and phony charges , ANTIFA terrorists are given safe haven by the courts .

New Hampshire Thug Arrested After Assaulting ‘MAGA’ Hat-Wearing 15-Year Old at Polling Site
A New Hampshire man was arrested Thursday for an incident in which’s he accused of assaulting a 15 year-old boy earlier this week during the state’s presidential primary.
Patrick Bradley is being charged with simple assault and disorderly conduct, according to the Windham, New Hampshire police department.
Bradley was departing a school that served as a polling place for the primary when he passed a pro-Trump stand encouraging members of the public to sign up to join the Trump campaign. He’s said to have become aggressive towards the Trump supporters staffing the stand, including the 15 year old among them.
Bradley allegedly slapped the boy across the face while verbally abusing him. He went on to assault two adults who stepped in to stop his abuse, and reports indicate that he ripped several Trump signs from their place and tried to rip down the volunteers’ tent.
The anonymous boy’s mother has told Fox News that her son is “traumatized” as a result of the hateful incident.
“My son was standing outside on the sidewalk and he said ‘have a nice night,’ he said it to everyone. But this man was triggered. He said ‘f— you’ to him and wound up his hand as fast as he could and slapped him across the face.”
The boy’s mother says that one of the Trump volunteers who stepped in to protect the young boy from the deranged attacker suffered a fractured jaw from his altercation with Bradley. If so, the intolerant thug could be liable to even more serious criminal charges.
Donald Trump Jr. had visited the Windham, New Hampshire polling place earlier that day. He tweeted in opposition to the outrageous political violence enacted on Trump supporters shortly after the incident.
So a leftist attacks 3 Trump supporters, including a 15 year old child, in NH this week. Last week a deranged leftist attempted to run over a group of Trump supporters with a car in FL. What will it take for the MSM to finally call out leftwing violence? https://t.co/auabw5TKIW — Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) February 13, 2020
His attack on Trump campaign imagery essentially confirms that Bradley was motivated by political hatred. The left has truly reached a new low if its operatives are inclined to attack children for supporting Donald Trump.

Trump Slashes Neocon Dreams by Cutting Bloated F-35 Budget to Pay for Border Wall
The Pentagon is looking to divert $3.8 billion, mostly from its fiscal 2020 weapons procurement budget, to help fund President Donald Trump’s border wall, according to a report from Defense News.
Defense News listed the items that are expected to be cut:
A mass of aircraft purchases including F-35 joint strike fighters, C-130J cargo aircraft, MQ-9 Reaper drones and P-8 maritime surveillance planes, as well as ground vehicles and naval priorities.

The poll is possibly a sign of the strength of Bloomberg’s candidacy, which has adopted an approach of almost openly buying the support of prominent Democrats and carpet-bombing the airwaves of Super Tuesday states with unprecedented levels of campaign ad spending.

But it’s clear the ultra-billionaire, with a whopping net worth of more than $50 billion dollars, is a serious contender for the nomination, even though he shamelessly intends to buy it.
Ultimately Bloomberg’s biggest hindrance may be an abundance of “moderate” centrist candidates who are still competing in the Democratic primary.

They are making the case that allowing transgenders to compete in their sporting events denies them the access to scholarship opportunities and victories that they would have otherwise earned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Mentally and physically , we know the outcome before the race even starts , ” said Smith , the daughter of former Major League pitcher Lee Smith .
“ That biological unfairness doesn ’ t go away because of what someone believes about gender identity .
All girls deserve the chance to compete on a level playing field.
” take our poll - story continues below The lawsuit has been filed against the Connecticut Association of Schools-Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference as well as the boards of education in Bloomfield , Cromwell , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Forcing girls to be spectators in their own sports is completely at odds with Title IX , a federal law designed to create equal opportunities for women in education and athletics , ” attorney Christiana Holcomb said .
“ Connecticut ’ s policy violates that law and reverses nearly 50 years of advances for women.
” The lawsuit is focused on Terry Miller and Andraya Yearwood , two transgender “ females ” who have dominated track and field since being allowed to masquerade as women in sporting events .
They have won 15 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ due to their biological advantages .
“ Our dream is not to come in second or third place , but to win fair and square , ” Mitchell said .
“ All we ’ re asking for is a fair chance.
” “ I have faced discrimination in every aspect of my life and I no longer want to remain silent , ” Miller said .
“ I am a girl and I am a runner .
I participate in athletics just like my peers to excel , find community , and meaning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unfair and painful that my victories have to be attacked and my hard work ignored.
” The Connecticut Association of Schools-Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference maintains that they are just following the letter of the law .
They maintain that their policy is “ appropriate under both state and federal law.
” Yearwood is fighting for “ her ” right to continue participating in girls ’ races and dominate young women and deprive them of their glory and opportunity .
“ I will never stop being me !
” she said in her statement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ !
I hope that the next generation of trans youth doesn ’ t have to fight the fights that I have .
I hope they can be celebrated when they succeed not demonized .
For the next generation , I run for you !
” The far-left American Civil Liberties Union ( ACLU ) will represent the transgender “ women ” in court to allow them to continue to dominate while demeaning birth women in these school races .
“ The idea that the law only protects the individuals with XX chromosomes as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ found nowhere in the legislative history of Title IX , in any implementing regulation or in any other aspect of the interpretation of Title IX over the last 50 years by the courts , ” said ACLU lawyer Chase Strangio , deputy director for Trans Justice with the ACLU LGBT & HIV Project .
The ADF hopes that a judge will temporarily ban transgenders from participating in girls ’ races while the case is being heard .

WATCH: President Trump Kicks off Daytona 500 After Taking Lap In Presidential Limousine
President Trump kicked off the Daytona 500 NASCAR race in Florida on Sunday, serving as grand marshal of the event and taking a lap around the racetrack in a new state-of-the-art presidential limousine before the start of the race.
Drivers could be heard discussing the president’s motorcade, being a witness to an exciting spectacle in which the formation of vehicles was on display for potentially millions of Americans on a world-famous racetrack.
“Gah, this is awesome!” – @ClintBowyer caught on radio excited about @realDonaldTrump leading the field onto the #DAYTONA500 track https://t.co/Ce6R1s3Js7 — Big League Politics (@bigleaguepol) February 16, 2020
The limousine is the newest iteration of the official presidential vehicle. Nicknamed “the Beast,” it’s equipped with state-of-the-art security features to protect the president from any bodily harm. Certainly admirers of beautiful cars would be intrigued to get a first-hand look at the unprecedented American engineering involved in its creation.
It’s traditional for the race’s grand marshal to officially kick off the race with the command for the drivers to start their engines.
“Daytona International speedway, we love our country… Gentlemen, start your engines!”
The President even expressed his wish to participate as a driver in the great American sporting tradition.
Get him the #45 car! https://t.co/ld4DLJOz7N — Big League Politics (@bigleaguepol) February 16, 2020
At least one liberal journo has taken to opportunity to trash the Daytona 500 on the event of the President’s participation, revealing their contempt for the blue-collar Americans who largely form the fanbase of NASCAR.
You thought an event couldn’t get any trashier and then… https://t.co/snYD3MDNCo — Emily C. Singer (@CahnEmily) February 15, 2020
President Trump has always been a fan of sporting events that coastal elites have sneered at, appearing at WWE events years before his political career.
The event all together appears to be a great American display of patriotism and national pride.


bigleaguepolitics--2020-02-16--1,100 Liberal Prosecutors, Bureaucrats, Demand Bill Barr’s Resignation from DOJ

More than 1,100 former Department of Justice prosecutors and employees signed a letter released Sunday demanding that Attorney General Bill Barr resign from office .
The letter takes a staunchly partisan Democratic tone , leaving no doubt as to their partisan allegiances of the high-ranking government employees who have signed it .
The letter claims that Barr is “ doing the President ’ s personal bidding ” for clamping down on a culture of corruption present within elements of the powerful government entity .
The liberal bureaucrats are especially upset with Barr ’ s intervention in the criminal case of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Stone .
Stone was set to be sentenced to a draconian and lengthy prison sentence for process crimes that amount to no more than lying to congress , a witch hunt that had many James Comey-style elite DOJ employees smitten with glee .
Barr intervened to overturn the sentencing goals of prosecutors tasked with the case , leading to several of them resigning in protest .
The moralistic and sanctimonious letter claims that Barr is somehow harming the credibility of the already controversial department , but the DoJ alumni that have openly endorsed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ endorsement of a staunchly partisan and anti-Trump statement does far more to harm the already- questionable credibility of the department .
take our poll - story continues below The letter from outraged bureaucrats is one of the latest incidences that suggest a liberal institutional bias prevailing at nearly every level of the Department of Justice .
A chief FBI press officer was recently forced to resign after it was revealed that he accepted lavish gifts from New York Times and CNN reporters .

bigleaguepolitics--2020-02-16--CNN Host Admits He Was “Snookered” By Avenatti After Felony Extortion Conviction

While conservatives throughout the country lament over the politically-motivated railroading of Trump confidant Roger Stone , the neocons at the National Review , who brazenly agitated on behalf of Hillary Clinton in 2016 , are cheering on this case of prosecutorial misconduct .
Columnist Kevin Williamson , an Ilhan Omar defender who wrote “ The Case Against Trump , ” issued a smug and fact-free blurb about how Stone must be punished harshly to protect our democracy , or something .
He argued that the nine years initially recommended by deep state prosecutors was perhaps too lenient .
“ Roger @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long time .
The seven felonies of which he stands convicted are at heart crimes of political corruption — lying to Congress and tampering with witnesses in order to impede a federal investigation into official wrongdoing .
The charges together could have brought him 50 years in prison — and that would not have been unjust , ” Williamson wrote .
“ Crimes committed by politically powerful people in the service of politically powerful people corrupt our system of government and undermine faith in our institutions .
They should be punished much more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ couple of grams of cocaine , ” he added .
“ So , pray for Roger Stone .
The Lord may have mercy on his soul , but his ass belongs in the federal penitentiary for a good long while.
” take our poll - story continues below Columnist Andrew McCarthy also bashed President Trump for speaking out against Stone ’ s unfair sentence and intervening to stop the deep state ’ s abuse of power .
Although he admitted prosecutors overreached going after Stone , McCarthy argued that Trump ’ s response @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Department was obviously aware of the president ’ s tweet , as well as press reporting about the harshness of the prosecutors ’ sentencing recommendation , the DOJ and the White House have had no communications about the case , according to both the president and a spokeswoman for the attorney general , ” McCarthy wrote .
“ Nevertheless , the DOJ made it known that the sentencing memo would be rescinded and a new one filed .
That announcement prompted the recusals of all four prosecutors , some of whom are quitting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stepping aside from the Stone case , ” he added .
McCarthy argued that Trump should have kept his mouth shut and not advocated publicly for Stone like he has done .
“ If President Trump is afraid , in an election year , to take the political hit that a pardon for Stone would entail , that is understandable .
But then he should bite his tongue and click out of Twitter .
The Justice Department ’ s job is to process cases , including Mueller cases , pursuant to law , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ surprise as to why American conservatism conserved exactly nothing while the National Review was considered the most influential publication within the movement .

CNN Host Admits He Was “Snookered” By Avenatti After Felony Extortion Conviction
CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin admitted he felt “snookered” by disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti after the former political celebrity’s felony conviction for extortion on Friday night.
Toobin struck a penitent tone for his own network’s role in promoting the now-convicted felon. Avenatti was a regular on liberal mainstream media outlets such as CNN and MSNBC throughout 2018, frequently boasting of outlandish lawsuits that were set to finally take down President Trump.
In hindsight, after the “creepy porn lawyer’s” dramatic rise and fall, CNN is largely left with egg on their face for ever having taken him seriously. Toobin admitted this in the segment, showing more reflection than many of his mainstream media colleagues are inclined to undergo.
“I feel kind of snookered, because I took him seriously.”
Avenatti has been convicted for a scheme to extort tens of millions of dollars from sporting company Nike. He faces up to decades in prison in upcoming sentencing proceedings, and is currently housed in solitary in New York’s Metropolitan Correctional Center. He’s also set to face even more criminal charges in California, related to accusations he stole lawsuit rewards from his legal clients.
Avenatti’s rise and fall from cable news darling and pugnacious anti-Trump “fighter” to disgraced felon facing a possible life sentence is about as dramatic an arc one could expect to see a public figure undergo.
CNN and MSNBC now face some serious sole searching for their role in promoting the fraud, having taken his boisterous claims at face value for almost a year and even implicitly promoting his ridiculous presidential admiration. At least Toobin appears willing to admit his role in feeding the CPL’s ambitions.

New reporting from the Daily Caller has revealed that the FBI ’ s former chief press officer was forced to resign last year , after lying to the Department of Justice ’ s inspector general about accepting baseball tickets from a CNN reporter .
Michael Kortan was formerly the FBI ’ s assistant director of public affairs .

Albuquerque police are also investigating if McCall is responsible for a closely similar incident back in March, when the same Republican Party offices were spraypainted with the word “traitors.” Sources indicate that the same kind of spray paint was used in both incidents. The initial act of vandalism inspired Republicans to install cameras at the offices, which proved crucial in identifying McCall as the culprit of the latest political crime.
Expo New Mexico is a state-run convention center in Albuquerque. A Bernalillo county judge identified McCall as a “sponsorship coordinator” for the venue during his initial appearance in court on Thursday. McCall was suspended from his job following his vandalism arrest, and officials with the entity state that he’ll be fired if he’s convicted of the charges.
McCall has been released on bond to await trial. He’s one of several political zealots to make national news recently for acting on their hatred for the Republican Party by committing crimes.
