Former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr declared Trump’s Manhattan trial an “abomination” and shockingly admitted that he’ll “vote the Republican ticket” in the 2024 presidential election. Remember that AG Barr was one of the strongest Republican critics of President Trump following the events that transpired after Trump left office. The Hill reports on AG Barr’s unexpected admission: 'Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Wednesday he will vote for the “Republican ticket” in the November presidential election. “I think it’s my duty to pick the person I think would do the least harm to the country,” Barr said on Fox News’s “America’s Newsroom.” “And in my mind, that’s — I will vote the Republican ticket.” . . . Barr said Wednesday he thinks “the real danger to the country — the real danger to democracy, as I say, is the progressive agenda.” “And while … Trump may be playing Russian roulette, but a continuation of the Biden administration is national suicide, in my opinion,” Barr continued.' Declaring a continuation of the Biden Administration a “national suicide” is as condemning as it gets. Apparently, AG Barr had a “come to Jesus” moment about the upcoming election and now believes that Trump would be a much better option than Biden. Barr’s comments stem from the ongoing political prosecution against President Trump. Look no further than Trump’s ongoing Manhattan trial, which would be a misdemeanor at worst for an everyday citizen. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-04182024_seg-rumrecap_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution As you know, jury selection has been taking place, and many jurors were rejected for saying they couldn’t be impartial in deciding a verdict. But let’s be realistic: How can they find 12 truly impartial jurors unless the jurors have been in a coma for the last eight years? It’s hard to imagine anyone being completely impartial in a case involving a President. It will be nearly impossible for Trump to get a fair and impartial jury. The prosecution wants to get this trial over by November . . . just in time for the 2024 presidential election. Normally, a trial of this magnitude would take a long time. So, in other words, it’s obvious election interference. We also have news about an ongoing debate in the House about three separate funding bills. Many far-Left Representatives don’t want any funding to go to Israel, whereas many conservative Representatives don’t want additional funding for Ukraine. There’s also a bill about sending aid to Taiwan. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has a tough road ahead of him trying to work through a divided House. Former U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard joined the broadcast to comment on holding Members of Congress accountable for their spending decisions: "We all know the reason why the Democrats lump these [bills] together . . . because they are worried that the Ukraine vote might lose. It’s such a dishonest way of policymaking and governing because Members of Congress are then not held accountable for their position on a single issue. They then go back and say, Oh well, I wasn’t really for that, but it had this other really important thing. So I didn’t have a choice on how to vote. . . . I agree that Speaker Johnson made the right decision to have individual debates on each of these [bills] and individual votes. . . . The American people should demand, at a bare minimum, an accounting of the dollars that [Members of Congress] are spending – our taxpayer dollars." One appalling aspect of the Ukrainian bill is that $300 million has been set aside to help secure the Ukrainian border. Wouldn’t it be nice if Congress spent that same money to secure the southern border back home? The ACLJ remains steadfast in supporting Israel even if Congress falters. Through the European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ), our international affiliate, we just sent a letter to the European Union demanding that they list the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization. Doing so would result in tougher sanctions on Iran. We’re also about to send critical demand letters to 32 countries next week to defend Israel’s sovereignty rights. We will never stop defending our greatest ally. Join our efforts by signing our brand-new petition. Your voice makes a difference. Today’s Sekulow broadcast included a full analysis of former AG Barr’s bombshell announcement. ACLJ Senior Advisor for National Security and Foreign Policy Ric Grenell responded to the growing calls for presidential debates between President Biden and President Trump. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-04182024_seg-rumclips_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution2

Trump’s upcoming trial jury selection has been taking place, and 60 out of 96 jurors were rejected for saying they couldn’t be impartial in deciding a verdict. But let’s be realistic. How can they find 12 truly impartial jurors unless the jurors have been in a coma for the last eight years? It’s going to be impossible for Trump to get a fair and impartial jury.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr announced on Fox New that he plans to vote for the "Republican ticket" in the upcoming November presidential election. "I believe it's my duty to choose the candidate who I think will cause the least harm to the country," Barr stated. "I will vote Republican ticket." This declaration comes despite Barr's previous criticisms of his former boss, President Trump, who is the likely Republican nominee for President in the upcoming 2024 election. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-04182024_seg-rumclips_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution

NBC News reports that Israel's retaliation against Iran's drone attack may be "imminent." Previously, we discussed President Biden's controversial remarks, urging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to "take the win" following Israel's successful interception of most of Iran's drones. Nonetheless, it is not within Biden's purview to dictate Israel's methods of protecting its citizens. https://aclj.org/israel/defend-israel-stop-biden-from-supporting-her-enemies?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-04162024_seg-rumclips_top-IS_typ-PT_con-defendIsrael

Today the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments on whether January 6 protestors at the U.S. Capitol can be charged with obstructing an official proceeding. The pending ruling could greatly impact Special Counsel Jack Smith’s election interference case against President Donald Trump because the former President faces the same charge. Will the Justices wreck Smith’s case against Trump? https://aclj.org/israel/defend-israel-stop-biden-from-supporting-her-enemies?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-04162024_seg-rumsekulow_top-IS_typ-PT_con-defendIsrael

As jury candidate questioning proceeded, certain prospective jurors acknowledged potential challenges in maintaining impartiality. This realization led them to express concerns about their ability to remain fair and unbiased throughout the trial. Consequently, numerous jurors have already been excused from serving on the panel. This ongoing process highlights the importance of selecting jurors who can uphold the principles of fairness and impartiality essential to the judicial system. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-04162024_seg-rumclips_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution2

Joseph Fischer, one of the individuals arrested for unlawfully entering the U.S. Capitol in 2021, is facing seven charges. He is contesting the constitutionality of one of these charges: "obstruction of an official proceeding" under 18 U.S. Code Section 1512(c)(2). The crux of the debate revolves around whether this provision specifically pertains to "tampering with evidence." In essence, Fischer argues that he did not violate this law because he did not tamper with evidence in relation to an official proceding. This issue is significant as two of the charges against President Trump, namely "obstruction of an official proceeding" and "conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding," are under this category. Should the Justices dismiss these two pivotal charges, Special Counsel Jack Smith's case against Trump would primarily rely on two remaining generic charges: "conspiracy to defraud the U.S." and "conspiracy against rights." https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-04162024_seg-rumclips_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution1

FBI Director Christopher Wray’s testimony before Congress became contentious after Rep. Mike Garcia (CA-27) proclaimed, “I don’t trust you to protect us.” Garcia blasted Wray (as well as the Biden Administration) for failing to resolve “the biggest national security threat” – illegal immigration at the southern border. Wray admitted to dangers at the border, especially the fentanyl originating from China. https://aclj.org/immigration/end-bidens-humanitarian-crisis-for-children-and-protect-our-borders?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=YouTube&utm_campaign=d-04122024_seg-ytsekulow_top-IM_typ-PT_con-bordercrisis

Rep. Mike Garcia, R-Calif., directly expressed his lack of trust in FBI Director Christopher Wray, accusing him of lacking transparency and remaining notably quiet on issues concerning the southern border, instead of actively shaping policies, especially regarding national security. During Wray's testimony before the House Appropriations Subcommittee, where he advocated for the reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and discussed next year's budget, Rep. Garcia did not mince words. He asserted his distrust of Wray, stating, "I’ll be honest with you, and this pains me to say this, but I don’t trust you." https://aclj.org/immigration/end-bidens-humanitarian-crisis-for-children-and-protect-our-borders?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-04122024_seg-rumclips_top-IM_typ-PT_con-bordercrisis

According to an official with knowledge of the matter, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is trying to decide HOW he wants to carry out a terror attack on Israel that’s expected to happen as early as this evening. One possible scenario includes a direct strike using sophisticated, medium range missiles. https://aclj.org/israel/stand-with-israel-defend-israel?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-04122024_seg-rumclips_top-IS_typ-PT_con-defendisrael

Chants of “Death to America” rang out recently at a pro-Palestine protest in Dearborn, Michigan. However, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (MI-12) and Governor Gretchen Whitmer remained silent about the anti-America chants. Rep. Tlaib also had a meltdown caught on camera as she refused to talk to Fox News’ Hillary Vaughn about the controversy. https://aclj.org/israel/stand-with-israel-defend-israel?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-04112024_seg-rumclips_top-IS_typ-PT_con-defendisrael

Hamas has admitted its inability to locate and identify 40 Israeli hostages necessary for the initial phase of a ceasefire deal, according to both an Israeli official and a source familiar with the negotiations. This development raises concerns that the number of hostages deceased may exceed what is publicly known. As outlined by negotiators, the agreement stipulates that during a six-week ceasefire period, Hamas should release 40 hostages, including women, as well as sick and elderly men. In exchange, Israel would release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. https://aclj.org/israel/stand-with-israel-defend-israel?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-04112024_seg-rumclips_top-IS_typ-PT_con-defendisrael2

In recent events, cries of "Death to America" echoed through Dearborn, Michigan. However, there was a noticeable silence from Rep. Tlaib as she notably declined to address the controversy when approached by Fox News, stating, "I don't talk to Fox News," which was captured on camera. The question arises: should denouncing such chants of "Death to America" be a matter of controversy? Even the White House released a statement condemning the chants. https://aclj.org/israel/stand-with-israel-defend-israel?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-04112024_seg-rumclips_top-IS_typ-PT_con-defendisrael

We told you how the Biden campaign made a mistake that jeopardized President Joe Biden’s name being on the Ohio presidential election ballot. Now it appears in addition to the fiasco in Ohio, Biden might not be on the Alabama ballot as well. According to Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen, due to the scheduled date for the Democratic National Convention, Biden’s campaign team will miss the deadline for certifying the President as the Democrat nominee for 2024. https://aclj.org/government-corruption/stop-political-prosecution-of-president-trump?utm_medium=Video&utm_source=Rumble&utm_campaign=d-04102024_seg-rumsekulow_top-GC_typ-PT_con-politicalprosecution
