WTH: Former DOJ Employee Chad Mizelle Jumps in to Validate DOJ’s Actions Against Ed Martin

This is getting worse by the minute.  What is really going on? 

Whistleblower Chris Bish from California raised serious concerns about criminal acts that she uncovered related to Adam Schiff’s mortgages over the past two decades.  This was first reported by us in 2023.

In April 2023, Californian Chris Bish provided us with documentation indicating that Adam Schiff was allegedly committing mortgage and/or election fraud. Authorities in the Biden Administration refused to do anything, so Bish went to Congress.  Congress passed on it as well.

When others showed up earlier this year with accusations of mortgage fraud, like Letitia James, Bish shared her reporting again. It looked like Schiff was finally in deep $hiff.

On Tuesday, reports surfaced that there was insufficient evidence to indict Schiff. However, Bish responded to say not to worry, as she is on her way to DC to discuss on Thursday the mountains of evidence showing that Adam Schiff was committing mortgage and/or election fraud with government officials.

Bish ended up covering her own costs to travel to Washington, DC, to share what she had uncovered involving Schiff’s alleged mortgage and/or election crimes.

What Bish never expected was that the individuals she met didn’t want to know about Schiff’s crimes; they wanted to know about Bish’s conversations with the DOJ’s Ed Martin, Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte and others.

On Friday, it was reported that Ed Martin and Bill Pulte, who were investigating Adam Schiff’s mortgage crimes, were the ones being investigated by the DOJ’s Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche.

We discussed this situation and the investigation reportedly put in place by Todd Blanche on the War Room on Friday.

After our segment on the WarRoom, Chad Mizelle came to Todd Blanche’s rescue.

The problem is that Chad Mizelle is not the person you want covering your back.  Per Conservative Treehouse, Chad has quite a story working deep inside the Deep State. 

I have continued to point out that Chad Mizelle was Rod Rosenstein’s chief legal counsel during the first term of President Trump. As Rosenstein’s legal counsel, it was Chad Mizelle who literally wrote the “scope memos” that authorized the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate President Trump.

Mizelle also wrote the expanded scope memos for Mueller and Andrew Weissmann that permitted the targeting of Michael Flynn Jr, Michael Flynn, George Papadopolous, Paul Manafort and more. Chad Mizelle would have intimate knowledge of Rosenstein’s intent to hire Robert Mueller, before, during and after the Special Counsel was appointed.

Because of everything above, Chad Mizelle was always looked at with strong suspicion. There is no way to intellectually reconcile Chad Mizelle as a good faith actor knowing the intents and purposes of Robert Mueller. It just didn’t make sense.

When Mizelle left the DOJ:

Todd Blanche, deputy attorney general, said: “Chad’s tenure at the Department has been marked by exceptional leadership and dedication to the Department. He provided Attorney General Bondi and all of us with outstanding counsel, and his steady hand helped guide our work. Chad played a key role in advancing the President’s America First agenda here at the Department, and his efforts strengthened our mission to protect the American people.” (link)

All of that may be true. However, it is also true that without Chad Mizelle there would never have been a Robert Mueller investigation and expanded scope memos for Andrew Weissmann.

This is who is supporting Todd Blanche’s reported investigation of Ed Martin.

  1. It's evident that Trump learned nothing from his first term and the Democrats' witch hunts against him.

    I was hopeful that he would come in with a new vigor for draining the swamp, but it's clear that is not going to happen.

  2. I mean, what happens to the cases if the information was illegally or improperly shared? They're toast, right?

    Covering the bases is the best guess. And the reason is, the other conclusions are too impalatable. If those conclusions are true, then we're at the brink. We're close, but we're not at the brink.

    They're covering the bases.

  3. Patrick Byrne on X:

    “Your DOJ: Pam Bondi works remotely from Florida, flies up for announcements. Todd Blanche runs Pam’s DOJ, was a Dem until Jan 2025, and has blocked: Tina’s release, Investigation into Dominion, Restitution for J6 political prisoners & Pardons Trump wants done.” ……..

    LindellTV on X: w/ Emerald:

    “Todd Blanche is blocking Trump’s agenda at DOJ.”

    On Emerald’s Peter Ticktin, former attorney for President Trump, breaks his silence, accusing President Trump’s current legal advisor Todd Blanche of intentionally stalling pardons, blocking access to whistleblowers, and suppressing justice for J6ers and election integrity fighters like Tina Peters.

    “Everything that needs to move forward for Trump’s presidency is being intentionally blocked by Todd Blanche… and it’s not because he’s incapable. It’s because he’s doing the opposite of what President Trump ordered.”

    Ticktin says morale at DOJ is collapsing and insiders are demoralized: “People can’t get anything done… and it’s all being stopped at every turn.” He warns PDT’s greatest flaw is trusting the wrong people, and Todd Blanche may be the biggest mistake of all.” …….

    Rest in the Vine: WHY ARE DEMOCRATS STILL RUNNING DOJ??????????

  4. why is it important to know where evidence came from if it is true and correct and can be verified – something does not smell right

    • How do you prove it’s true if you don’t know the origins of it. The story makes perfect sense that they’re not investigating Pulte and Martin, but just understanding the history of the evidence to make sure they have everything in order

  5. Deep State swamp king Trump appointed a DEM (Blanche) to run the DOJ. He has split MAGA. I'll sit out the midterms and hope he gets impeached or resign. He stabbed us in the back

  6. This Blanche/Martin setup sounds eerily familiar – Pence/Flynn 2.0? Have been leery of Blanche from jump..the enemy inside the tent.

  7. Ed Martin
    @EdMartinDOJ

    It is always difficult to comment on an ongoing investigation, but @chad_mizelle knows of what he speaks.

    Free advice: Don’t listen to folks who have no clue how DOJ works.

    By confirming where the evidence of Schiff’s illegal conduct originated, DOJ isn’t investigating their own. DOJ is getting ready to indict Schiff.

    Ed Martin and Bill Pulte are fine. Schiff needs to lawyer up.

  8. Maybe they asked Bish questions about her investigation and communications with Ed Martin and others because they want to make sure that Schiff cannot use that against them in court during his trial?

    Why have so many people lost faith in Trump and his administration? They keep telling us that there are things happening behind the scenes. Let's wait a see before jumping to conclusions.

  9. I’m asking Santa for Andrew Weissmann in an orange jumpsuit this year.

    Easy Deep State Filter is anyone asking for or facilitating a “special council”, after the Jack Smith fiasco.

    “Chad Mizelle was Rod Rosenstein’s chief legal counsel during the first term of President Trump. As Rosenstein’s legal counsel, it was Chad Mizelle who literally wrote the “scope memos” that authorized the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate President Trump.

  10. There are 100 different "news" outlets, a few legit, many pass on bs. Not sure which one flashed a headline on my phone yesterday, but it said Trump was considering firing Spam Blondie. I haven't seen anything else on it. But I can hope.

  11. MAGA has been screaming that Pam Bondi had to go and that both she and Blanche are Bill Barr 2.0. But like with the Epstein files, Trump refuses to listen and has dug his heels in. I give Trump the benefit of the doubt on Epstein, because I suspect having the goods on various Washington heavy hitters provided an incentive for them to relatively stay on Trump’s good side rather than risk exposure or retaliation. It could have been leverage for minimizing obstacles to Trump policies that are more important to America than catching a few pedos. But Bondi has clearly demonstrated she is either inept or a deep state entity stalling Trump’s agenda.

  12. Ken Dilanian is a journalist for NBC news. He is not to be trusted.
    Chad Mizelle is a Republican attorney who was chief counsel to the United States Department of Homeland Security. I trust Mr.Mizelle's take.

  13. So in the words of Steve Bannon: H…H…Hol…Hol…Hol…Hold on Joe Hoft. You just wrote a story posted earlier with a primary source, Ed Martin, backing Chad Mizelle on X:

    "It is always difficult to comment on an ongoing investigation, but
    @chad_mizelle
    knows of what he speaks."

    Now you are reverting back to the story by MSDNC and Fusion Ken Dilanian. But this time you added in that the Conservative Shortbus says that Mizelle is deepstate.

    Correct me if I am wrong but the good guy Ed Martin is being targeted by the DOJ, but deepstater Mizelle says the story is nonsense AND Ed Martin confirms as much on X. So I guess Ed Martin is deepstate then? He is so deepstate that he is going after himself maybe. Make it make sense.

  14. Hmmm, Ed Martin appeared to be on the right side of the law and going after the fraudsters…..probably why he couldn't get appointed/confirmed for anything. Don't trust bondi – she is a grandstander. Kash and Bongino are disappointments. Lots of the usual blustering, "we have them" press talk and then NOTHING. I'm not saying its easy to take down these people because when you take down one, I'm betting there will be many empty seats in Congress, cabinet positions, judicial benches….and its on both sides. Trump is trying to chip away at many things at once because he knows this is his last term…..and if the midterms go in the wrong direction, the far left will be in charge of this country in no time…..gotta stop it.

  15. Stop the Steal was really Finish the Steal- actors dressed up as Trump supporters break into the Capitol to stop the debate on the objection to the certification of electors. Martin was controlled opposition- they couldn't really prosecute the actors but they had to prosecute the real Trump supporters that were lured or pushed into the Capitol.

  16. The American people have been promised a reprieve from Democrat liberal radicals, only to become full blown aware of the deep state RINO shit asses masquerading as PATRIOTS. If republicans abandon the faithful here and now, AS THEY DID with Trump after 01/06/2021 –
    you can bet your sweet ass that the world as we know it will fall apart and DC will become know as the pariah that it is.

  17. So, come Tuesday, Pammy and Hot Toddy will come out at the podium to announce the arrest and indictments of Ed Martin and Bill Pulte for having the nerve to report, investigate, and try to prosecute Democrat crimes.

    And, you think we don't see what's happening, Mr. President? WTF?

  18. We Just need to check ALL OF CONGRESS Mortgage Fraud Perpetrated by them ALL and Hold Them Accountable!! Every Single One hat Broke the Law!!

    • I bet you are correct. It has been reported that the Clintons and Bidens have done the Refi merry go round game ad nauseum, so you can bet the lot of them has too.

  19. Hands off Ed Martin and Bill Pulte… and please get rid of Todd Blanche who's misleading President Trump and working against MAGA.

    • Emerald Robinson has been warning about Blanche for quite some time….
      I have ZERO CONFIDENCE in Blondie & dwindling confidence in Kash.
      Why has Leticia and Schiffs blatant mortgage fraud been sidelined???

      • Yeah seriously, who the hell do Martin and Pulte think they're fooling here.

        It is blatantly obvious what is going on… they need to apply the brakes and reverse course or its going to be people calling for their heads next…

        And in case they haven't noticed… when MAGA people start putting the pressure on, they usually get the heads on the platter they request from the Trump administration.

    • This is why the GOP is gonna get goosed in the midterms…..people want justice and not only are the hundreds of people who should be in jail not in jail obvious cases like mortgage fraud which are literally slam dunks (I know a fair amount about real estate and mortgages and these particular cases are really quite simple stuff) can't get out of the DOJ….Trump really screwed this country when he hired that nitwit Bimbo Bondi and he'll pay at the midterms. Patriots and America lovers want prosecutions and jail and this is just not acceptable. It's maddening as hel and this is how wars start…..wait until the left regains power….this ain't hyperbole – we're done. MAGA will go the way of The Tea Party and they'll jail patriots like there's no tomorrow…..pray and get armed and refuse to be enslaved.

  20. So, this woman blew the whistle on Schiff, took it to congress and they did nothing. Where were the GOP? Even if the dims chose to ignore it and hope it away, why didn't the GOP start screaming about this?

    The Uni-Party is real and it is dangerous!

  21. Todd Blanche was a registered Democrat in NYC and worked at the SDNY.

    It's been said he was "selected" to defend Trump in NY, at a time when most lawyers working for Trump or on the election steal were getting indicted or disbarred. So yes, I think he was a plant to gain Trump's confidence and become a critical obstacle to Trump's agenda.

    • So at this point, are we to conclude that Trump is a complete doofus and can’t understand situations that everyone else can understand? Do you really take him for a complete moron who is responsible for… nothing?

  22. Calm down panicians, breathe, take some deep breaths. Chad stated what they are doing so they don't, hopefully, screw this up. It is required by law so to give to shizforbrainz defense. I hope this right and not what Rothbardian posted.

    • It is, indeed, the dotting of i's and crossing of t's.

      There needs to be a very clear path of provenance on all the documentation of Schiff's crimes. This includes the person who produced the documentation.

      I have no crystal ball, but it appears that an indictment of Schiff is imminent if the evidence is confirmed as true and accurate.

    • Never heard of this and I don't believe it. He is taking this to a grand jury? Taking innocent people before a grand jury and not the crook who is involved with mortgage fraud. There is no way in hell. And since when isn't paperwork enough evidence to convict someone. If that is their standard, we have lost this country.

  23. The reason Uniparty swamp creature, GOP Senator Thom Tillis, derailed Ed Martin’s appointment to be the AG was because Tillis is also guilty of bank fraud, mortgage fraud and using his committee authority for directing millions into his wife’s phony NGO, which has no real life function other than money laundering for self enrichment. The swamp is still after Ed Martin.

    • Anyone with A FUNCTIONING BRAIN STEM knew We were screwed after GAETZ and MARTIN were better dealed for Bondi. POTUS is doing alot and gave Us some hope after the 2020 COUP/STEAL/LOCKDOWN takeovers, but We understand Nothing of true substance will ever be attained with Bondi at the helm as AG (and all the activist Judges being allowed to govern our Country )

  24. The 'Deep State' ….those leftists in positions… imbedded… infesting… infiltrating… the halls of power… of Law enforcement…. have never been excised or removed .. the tumor is spreading.

    Patel may be at the FBI…. but he does not have control of the FBI… Pam Blondi was never in control of the DOJ… and is far to weak and complicit to do anything.

    Tina Peters was prosecuted and convicted … FOR UPHOLDING THE LAW….

    We have a lawless nation, we have leftists subverting the Constitution and justice… and we have few who stand with us for the Constitution and our Republic.

    When the inmates are in control……

    When criminals pursue and prosecute those seeking justice… we have a serious problem and the survival of the Republic is in doubt.

    Far too many of the people are complacent…. apathetic…. or bow to leftist tyranny and their tyrannical Utopia.

  25. Well if Pam Bondi doesn't have enough common sense to fire both Todd Blanche & Chad Mizelle – America needs a new DOJ Head. IMO

    • Mizelle doesn’t work at DOJ, he left in October. Even the article says he is a former employee. He is a Republican. Upon announcing he was leaving DOJ, Mizelle said that he intends to continue supporting the Trump administration and focus on identifying left-wing groups he alleges are involved in political violence in the United States.
      What’s your problem?

  26. its incredible the number of law experts that comment here. shouldn't ya'll be working law cases somewhere instead of making comments here? get a job! or better yet, campaign for political office so you can get elected and run things the way you think they should be run.

  27. Sundance (Conservative Treehouse) has a higher accuracy rate than Rush Limbaugh ever did. If he's got his hackles up, you know it's a real problem.

    • Bondi? You mean Trump’s puppet? Why don’t you ask why the head LEO of America is permitting this? Remember Z, deep state Blanche is Trump’s guy. He is the one who put Blanche in his position of power. Blanche is the heavy lifter. Bondi’s only job(assignment by Trump) is to go on faux news and make it seem like they’re doing something…which they’re not. Except now to go after the good guys. So pathetic. We have been sold out.

  28. Since Ed Martin strongly endorsed what Mizelle said, I'll go with that, not this coping article.

  29. WTH? is right. Didn't you just have an article this morning telling us Ed Martin said we should listen to what Mizelle is saying?

  30. Difficult to talk about this without the context of Ed Martin's response endorsing Mizelle's take on it. https://joehoft.com/breaking-dojs-ed-martin-issues-response-to-reports-dojs-todd-blanche-is-investigating-him/

    AI Slop regarding the grand jury:

    Current Status

    Investigation, not Indictment: A federal grand jury in Maryland is investigating whether Martin and Pulte illegally shared sensitive grand jury information or used unauthorized individuals in the mortgage fraud probes of Trump critics like Senator Adam Schiff and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

    No Charges Yet: There have been no indictments, the current legal process is an investigation into potential misconduct. An indictment is a formal charge that allows a case to proceed to trial, it is not a conviction.

    Potential Charges for Misconduct: Improperly sharing sensitive grand jury information is a serious breach of Justice Department rules and could potentially lead to criminal charges such as:
    Obstruction of justice
    Contempt of court
    Stiff fines
    ****

    I don't know. It doesn't sound like this is anything more than a forced discovery type of deal, or what, I don't know. I'm leaning towards Ed Martin's take, pretty much just out of trust of Ed Martin, for my part.

  31. Investigate the investigators. Follow the money. Theirs and their significant others’ accounts. They’re not doing it out of the goodness of their hearts, because there is no goodness in their hearts.

  32. This whole thing was a leaker trap, ie: Ken’s post on X. Someone is in big trouble. Schiff indictment imminent.

  33. Christine Bish needs to be hired yesterday at the DoJ. Recycling Swamp Slop Attorneys will only legitimize the D.C. crime. POTUS 47 awaken!

  34. "Some say Todd Blanche is a good guy, some say he's a bad guy." That's what they said about Bill Barr, and we know how that turned out. If this is true, Todd Blanche needs to be fired.

  35. The only explanation is Ed Martin was either looking into something he shouldn’t have been or said something he shouldn’t have. This administration which is run by the deep state and “foreign influencers cannot tolerate either.

  36. This is all because, yet f-ing again, Trump appointed an enemy operative as AG. First Sessions, who would make a bump on a log look busy, then Deep State Barr, who conspired against him. Now we have the Bushie Deep State wannabe Pam Blondie running things. I love Trump, but I fear that if Benedict Arnold was still alive, he'd be appointed AG. Trump as hideous judgement on personnel decisions, and it's the American People who pay the price. Come on, Donald, wake the F up!!!!

  37. Trump better get this crap under control. Ed Martin is the best in the DOJ and it's why he's under attack.

  38. @EdMartinDOJ

    I missed these texts from an earlier article. —
    DOH

  39. Dem LAWFARE nitpicking coming to the rescue of crooked Dem Party politicians. I suspect that Congressional representatives misrepresenting where they actually live / (voting issue misrepresents) is a far greater problem then anyone is letting on which is why nobody wants to really address this issue. Reminds me of the Dems party politicians Oath of Office fiascos during Trump's first term.

  40. Look at all of the weak commenters on here. STOP falling for the “divide and conquer” bůllşhįt! That’s what the enęmy wants!

  41. Aw da sheep doing what sheep do best. At the end of the previous article on this subject Chad Mizelle said Ed Martin and Bill Pulte were fine. Ed Martin himself replied Chad Mizelle knows of what he speaks and that he himself can't reply to an ongoing investigation. So instead of admitting they oops made a mistake and fell for an MSDNC hoax Hofftee boy and his equally lying partner in crime Ban non are attacking Chad Mizelle with speculative garbage and doubling down on their lie the DOJ are going after Ed Martin. You sheep live up to your title and go ahead and be gullible wimps jumping to Hofftiee lies which have been many and this just the latest one.

    I looked across the net and any stories, which are very few, on this Hofftie "revelation" claim it's only GP spreading this lie and can't they can't find anything to validate it. So go ahead and whine and cry and demand Bondi get fired along with other heads like a good sheepster. Many times on Gutfeld he says we don't deserve Trump. One things for sure Trump doesn't deserve you ignorant non thinking sheep. All you sheep are doing is being conned into undermining Trump and his people who have been working hard for you ungrateful back stabbers.

  42. Trump is a Zionists owned traitor. His approval numbers are in absolute free fall. He's down 22 points since the election, and will be political poison by 2028.

  43. No matter how much clear evidence there is of a Senior DC Democrat committing a crime (no matter what that crime may be), the evidence will ALWAYS be "insufficient for prosecution" for the DC Judiciary.

    It is literally what they were put there to do…

  44. WTH? Get rid of the Deep State! Start with replacing Bondi, who is either complicit, asleep at the wheel, or naive as hell.
