FBI agents raided the home of former Clinton campaign co-chair Jack Evans on Friday, a day after a confidential memo made public alleged that Evans “knowingly” violated ethics rules to benefit his friends and clients.
The Washington Post reported Friday that FBI agents raided D.C. councilman Evans’s Georgetown home early in the morning, instructing Evans to wait outside in a car while they conducted a search of his property.
According to ABC7 WJLA, FBI agents left Evan’s home carrying “boxes and boxes of what is believed to be evidence.”
Kadia Koroma, a spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney’s office for the District confirmed the “court-authorized law enforcement activity” at Evans’s house in a statement to the Post.
Jack Evans is a long-term colleague of Bill and Hillary Clinton. He was the D.C. co-chair of Hillary Clinton’s 2008 campaign and co-chaired Bill Clinton’s presidential campaigns in D.C. in 1992 and 1996.
Neighbors told the Post that federal agents arrived at dawn and blocked off the entire block, before pounding on Evans’ front door.
“I heard pounding on the door at 6 a.m., and I woke up and I looked out and saw all these cars,” a neighbor said.

The Hill reports: The raid comes just a day after news station WTOP obtained a confidential memo written by the D.C. Metro’s general counsel in May that accused Evans of “failing to disclose a conflict of interest” during the course of his work.
According to the Post, Evans is the subject of a federal grand jury investigation into his relationships with clients. He also faces questions involving whether he used his position for business gains in his consulting company, which is registered to his home address.
Evans, who is an elected official on the D.C. Council, also serves as chairman of the D.C. Metro board. Evans said he would step down from the board following the memo’s public release Thursday. The Post noted that it is unclear whether the early morning search of Evans’s home was related to...
Elected Democrats will soon attempt to expand voting rights in deep blue states for illegal aliens, an election fraud expert says.
Last week, Democrats in New York state approved and signed into law a plan to give driver’s licenses to illegal aliens with the backing of the business lobby. The law allows for the state’s 725,000-strong illegal alien population to be eligible for the same driver’s license that American citizens are afforded.
Already, state officials have said the law will effectively give illegal aliens the ability to vote as New York registers citizens to vote at state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) offices.
Government Accountability Institute (GAI) Director of Research Eric Eggers exclusively told Breitbart News that the new law in New York indicates that it is “only a matter of time” before elected Democrats in states like California, New York, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Maryland expand voting rights for illegal aliens.
“This is the first step towards the expansion of a number of things that normalize the rights of illegal aliens,” Eggers said.
“It’s only a matter of time before we see the expansion of illegal alien voting in state elections and eventually the Left pushing for illegal alien voting in federal elections,” Eggers continued.
Eggers said there are two scenarios to which illegal aliens may register to vote in New York. The first is illegal aliens knowingly registering to vote at the DMV by fraudulently claiming that they are eligible to vote.
“We’re now trusting illegal aliens’ honor not to register to vote,” Eggers said.
The second case is where the state’s Democrat officials exploit illegal aliens by coercing them to register to vote without them truly understanding that it is illegal.
“My research shows that illegals get caught up in this by parties that exploit and victimize illegal aliens,” Eggers said.
Florida immigration attorney Liz Ricci told Breitbart News that she has had clients get caught up in the easily accessible voting registration system and suffered the consequences in return.
“I’ve had other clients who were denied naturalization because of this,” Ricci said.
The New York effort to add hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to the state’s driver’s license rolls comes just before the 2020 presidential election, a calculated move by...
On Friday, we reported on a leak to the media regarding President Donald Trump’s recent pledge that Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids were set to begin Sunday, targeting illegal aliens who have been ordered out of the country by immigration judges.
We noted that though the president tweeted about the raids, details were still sketchy since he never revealed anything beyond the fact that they were going to happen — at some point.
Next week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States. They will be removed as fast as they come in. Mexico, using their strong immigration laws, is doing a very good job of stopping people.......
But as happens so often with this president, someone from the #NeverTrump bureaucracy leaked those details to the media, which, of course, quickly reported them because as we’ve seen with “Spygate,” the Washington establishment media has become nothing more than an organ of the deep state.
Now, some have questioned why the president would publicly announce such raids, and the answer is, perhaps our compassionate commander-in-chief wanted to give those in our country illegally a chance to leave on their own.
Fair enough. But beyond that very public warning, the details of ICE operations would necessarily remain covert so that agents could achieve maximum results for their efforts.
But no. Someone within government leaked to The Washington Post details of the raids which, if the Post leak is correct, will begin on Sunday in major U.S. cities the paper named specifically…
The Post went so far as to publish which cities were going to be targeted, who was going to be targeted, and, importantly, when they were going to be targeted:
President Trump has directed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to conduct a mass roundup of migrant families that have received deportation orders, an operation that is likely to begin with predawn raids in major U.S. cities on Sunday, according to three U.S. officials with knowledge of the plans.
The “family op,” as it is referred to at ICE and the Department of Homeland Security, is slated to target up to 2,000 families facing deportation orders in as many as 10 U.S. cities, including Houston, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles and other major immigration destinations, said the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the law enforcement operation. …
ICE has been preparing agents and equipment for the operation, which is expected to unfold across several days starting Sunday morning, the officials said. Discussions about the scope of the operation continued Friday at ICE, DHS and the White House, two officials said.
As for whether the leak was punitive against the president, the San Francisco Chronicle provided more evidence. Following the president’s tweet’s ICE wasn’t talking:
ICE officials reportedly told the Washington Post that no operations were planned.
Now we know that, indeed, the leak was punitive because the administration has now canceled the raids out of fear that ICE agents’ lives would be put at risk of they proceeded.
In an interview with Fox News’ Judge Janine Pirro on Saturday, Acting ICE Director Mark Morgan lamented the fact that details of the operation had been leaked while announcing that the raids would be put on hold for the time being.
“The media got ahold of some operational specifics, and they reported it. It’s just egregious, and it puts the lives of the officers and agents at risk,” Morgan said.
“The men and women at ICE are true American heroes. The president recognized that. He postponed it to protect them,” he continued.
For his part, the president announced on Saturday that...

Former congressman Trey Gowdy revealed how the FBI treated Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump very differently during the 2016 presidential campaign.
The former prosecutor and South Carolina Republican discussed with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo just how far the Obama White House went in gunning for Clinton during the campaign, giving her special treatment and different intelligence briefings than the-candidate Trump.
Gowdy and other Republicans have long been concerned about federal officials being biased against Trump and working to undermine his campaign, and he noted on this week’s “Sunday Morning Futures” that the FBI provided “two different kinds of defensive briefings to candidates depending on who you like and who you don’t.”
Added to how the FBI withheld transcript material from the FISA court, the former chairman of the Oversight Committee said “then your bias begins to impact the investigation.”
In discussing Attorney General William Barr’s investigation of the investigators, and the origins of the Robert Mueller Russia probe, Gowdy noted the bias in the intelligence community as Bartiromo said some information was kept from the “powers that be that were making important decisions.”
“I think what we’re going to find in 2016 is, the intelligence community was providing information to law enforcement that then went into this investigation, where some Democrats are calling for Donald Trump to be in prison,” Gowdy, a Fox News contributor, said.
“Have you ever seen the FBI’s internal analysis of whether Christopher Steele was reliable? Have you seen the paperwork where he was defrocked as a source because he couldn’t follow FBI rules and regulations? Have you seen the exculpatory information as it relates to...
Amash is opposing Sen. Josh Hawley’s reform to protect free speech in the digital public square.
Impeachment cheerleader Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) is rallying to protect Big Tech monopolists and their ability to capriciously kick conservative and libertarian voices off their platforms while keeping the legal immunity granted to them by the federal government.
Today I’ve introduced legislation to end Big Tech’s biggest sweetheart deal from government. No more government protection for Big Tech’s political censorship https://fxn.ws/2WLsY89
This legislation is a sweetheart deal for Big Government. It empowers the one entity that should have no say over our speech to regulate and influence what we say online. https://twitter.com/hawleymo/status/1141338106550980609 …
Amash claims that removing Big Tech’s sweetheart exemptions in Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, thus protecting free speech from Orwellian corporate censorship, would somehow be dystopian.
Section 230 exempts social media entities like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter from being liable for user-published content on their platforms. They are not regulated as publishers, but have started behaving like ones in recent years by implementing Draconian censorship policies to strangle the voices of primarily right-wing dissidents.
“With Section 230, tech companies get a sweetheart deal that no other industry enjoys: complete exemption from traditional publisher liability in exchange for providing a forum free of political censorship,” Hawley said in a statement regarding the need for his legislation. “Unfortunately, and unsurprisingly, big tech has failed to hold up its end of the bargain.”
“There’s a growing list of evidence that shows big tech companies making editorial decisions to censor viewpoints they disagree with,” Hawley added. “Even worse, the entire process is shrouded in secrecy because these companies refuse to make their protocols public. This legislation simply states that if the tech giants want to keep their government-granted immunity, they must bring transparency and accountability to their editorial processes and prove that they don’t...
