DOJ Probe Targets Schiff, James as Trump Hints at Reversing J6 Committee Pardons
DOJ Weaponization Working Group Targets Schiff, James, and the ‘Autopen’ Legacy
By Senior Investigative Correspondent
The 2026 Restoration has reached its clinical apex. Attorney General Pam Bondi has set the Department of Justice "spinning like a top," according to Ed Martin, Director of the Weaponization Working Group. The mandate is clear: a surgical, deep-dive audit into a "decade of dirty tricks" used to target the American people and the 47th President. As federal investigators move with Wartime Speed, the "Infrastructure of Deceit" constructed by the previous administration is facing its final, clinical reckoning.
I. THE MORTGAGE SIEGE: SCHIFF AND JAMES IN THE CROSSHAIRS
The audit has pivoted from political rhetoric to forensic financial reality. Ed Martin confirmed that the DOJ is currently reviewing criminal referrals for Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) and New York Attorney General Letitia James regarding alleged false statements in mortgage paperwork.
For James, the legal situation is already critical. A grand jury in Virginia indicted her in late 2025 for bank fraud and making false statements related to a property in Norfolk, Virginia. Schiff faces similar scrutiny over mortgage fraud allegations tied to a property in Maryland. Martin emphasized the "Character = 100" principle driving these probes: “Every American who has a mortgage has to follow the law. If somebody did something wrong, we’re going to hold them accountable”. This is a Smoking Gun for those who believe the "Machine of Disruption" ignored the law while weaponizing it against their rivals.
II. DECLASSIFYING THE "RUSSIA HOAX": THE OBAMA-MEDIA NEXUS
While the mortgage probes target individual conduct, the DOJ is also reconstructing the 2016 election interference narrative. Utilizing "Liquid Gold Intel" declassified by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, the DOJ is investigating evidence that the Obama administration coordinated directly with media outlets in December 2016 to push the "Russian collusion" narrative.
This investigation aims to dismantle the foundational myths of the previous decade. By tracing the origins of the "hoax" at Wartime Speed, the 2026 Renaissance ensures that the weaponization of intelligence for partisan gain is surgically removed from the American body politic.
III. THE AUTOPEN SCANDAL: REVOKING THE ‘MECHANICAL’ PARDONS
Perhaps the most explosive development is the potential nullification of thousands of clemency decisions issued in the final months of the Biden administration. President Donald Trump has signaled that pardons tied to the House January 6th Committee—which he labeled a "hoax"—could be revoked.
The legal basis for this move is the "Autopen Scandal." Evidence suggests that former President Biden delegated major clemency decisions to staff and family members, who affixed his mechanical signature to warrants affecting over 4,000 individuals.
The Delegation Crisis: A House Oversight report, "The Biden Autopen Presidency," alleges these actions were taken without Biden’s direct authorization as his cognitive capacity diminished.
"Flood the Zone": Reports indicate the White House sought to "flood the zone" with pardons to distract from the political fallout of the Hunter Biden pardon.
Public Safety Threat: Some autopen-signed documents allowed violent offenders to qualify for sentence reductions, a move the current DOJ views as an unconstitutional overreach.
IV. THE OMAR CONTROVERSY: TREASON OR SPEECH?
As the DOJ audits domestic corruption, Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is facing backlash for claiming the U.S. "loves to strike Muslim countries during Ramadan". A viral Community Note quickly dismantled her claims, noting that the 2003 invasion of Iraq and Operation Desert Storm both began months away from Ramadan.
While supporters defend her speech, critics like Dalia al-Aqidi argue these "deliberate lies" embolden adversaries like Iran. The debate highlights the tension between protected speech and rhetoric that critics say crosses into "aid and comfort" for enemies during international crises.
THE FINAL VERDICT: ADMINISTRATIVE LETHALITY
The 2026 Restoration is no longer an idea—it is a clinical reality. From the mortgage files of Adam Schiff to the mechanical signatures of the "Autopen Presidency," the audit is being conducted with a precision that the "leakers and liars" never anticipated. As Attorney General Pam Bondi prepares for the legal battles ahead, the 119th Congress remains focused on a Victorious American future where the law is applied equally to all, regardless of their status in the "West Coast elite."
Nearly 150,000 California Mail Ballots Rejected In Primary
California election officials are examining why nearly 150,000 mail-in ballots were rejected during the state’s June primary, with late-arriving ballots accounting for most of the increase.
The higher rejection rate comes despite years of election law changes designed to make voting more accessible and ensure more ballots are ultimately counted.
According to data compiled by the California Secretary of State’s office, 148,241 mail-in ballots were rejected during the June primary, representing 1.73% of all mail ballots returned.
That marks an increase from the 2024 primary, when 108,982 ballots were rejected, or 1.56% of all mail ballots cast.
The largest reason for rejection was ballots arriving too late to qualify under California law.
State data shows that 93,479 ballots were rejected because they failed to meet the state’s deadline requirements.
California allows mail ballots to arrive up to seven days after Election Day, provided they are postmarked on or before Election Day.
Voting experts believe many of the rejected ballots received postmarks dated after Election Day, making them ineligible to be counted even if they arrived within the seven-day grace period.
Kim Alexander, president of the nonpartisan California Voter Foundation, said the timing of postal processing appears to be a significant concern.
“Ballots rejected due to lateness are caused primarily to being postmarked too late to count, not because they arrived too late to count,” Alexander said.
Election experts have questioned whether recent operational changes within the U.S. Postal Service may be contributing to delayed postmarks.
Earlier this year, a group of mostly Democratic U.S. senators wrote to the Postal Service expressing concern that mail-processing changes could affect ballot handling during federal elections.
Updated Postal Service procedures mean postmarks may reflect when mail is processed at regional facilities rather than when it first enters the mail system.
Because processing centers have been consolidated in some areas, election officials have warned that postmark timing could be affected.
Before the June primary, California election officials encouraged voters to mail ballots as early as possible because of potential postal delays.
The June election also featured a highly competitive race for governor, which some experts believe encouraged many voters to wait until the final days before casting ballots.
In addition to late-arriving ballots, approximately 44,000 ballots were rejected because election officials determined the voter’s signature did not match the signature on file.
Another 8,300 ballots were rejected because the return envelope did not contain a signature.
State records also show that 743 ballots were rejected because those voters had already cast another ballot.
Other rejected ballots involved missing ballots inside return envelopes or multiple ballots submitted in a single envelope.
The highest rejection rate in the state occurred in Tulare County, where 3.52% of returned mail ballots were rejected.
Alpine County and Merced County followed closely, each recording rejection rates of 3.36%.
California has frequently faced criticism for taking weeks to complete vote counting after major elections, largely because state law permits ballots meeting certain requirements to continue arriving after Election Day.
Following the June primary, President Donald Trump again criticized California’s election system, while the Department of Justice opened an investigation into election administration in Los Angeles County.
Election experts emphasize that the increase in rejected ballots should not be interpreted as evidence of widespread voter fraud.
A 2025 report by the Brookings Institution found documented cases of mail ballot fraud remained extremely rare, estimating roughly four cases for every 10 million mail ballots cast, The Associated Press reported.
State officials have not identified evidence of widespread fraud connected to the June primary, but the increase in rejected ballots is expected to receive additional scrutiny as election administrators evaluate whether changes in postal operations, voter behavior or election procedures contributed to the higher rejection rate.
