Cop lied to get a warrant, said an informant bought heroin at the house. It never happened — two people died in the raid. Goines just got five years federal, on top of the 60 he's already serving for murder. oathbreakers.org/story/forme…

Florida labeled CAIR a domestic terrorist organization, and under their new law giving the group legal advice is a first-degree felony. A federal judge just blocked that part — likely violates the First Amendment. dontcomply.com/story/federal…

CDC handed an $18.8M Ebola screening contract to a firm with no Ebola experience, State added $20M for Congo outbreak response. The CEO: 'I'm not sure we can do it.' A fund tied to the Trump sons had just put $30M into the parent company. dontcomply.com/story/firm-wh…

An FBI agent stole $2.47 million in crypto out of wallets tied to 35 FBI investigations — around 100 transfers, using credentials off FBI systems. Pleaded guilty, faces 20 years. The bureau's own guy was robbing the bureau. oathbreakers.org/story/forme…

A Florida K-9 deputy who was about to get fired allegedly told his sheriff he'd release a recording unless they cleared his discipline file and let him keep his dog. Called it 'a little bit of insurance.' Now he's in jail on a $10,000 bond.

Former police chief in Jennings, Oklahoma allegedly shot two dogs execution-style while he was chief — charged with two counts of animal cruelty — and he's still working at the county jail. Apparently they wait for a conviction before firing him.

The woman who ran Arkansas's bar exam is facing 65 counts for allegedly moving points between people's scores — and deleting 11,400 files. Five years of exams, and the records that were supposed to be kept 25 years are just gone.

So the deputy LA County trusted to monitor gang activity in its own jail was the one bringing the heroin in. 1.1 pounds in Pringles cans, $15K in his backpack. Got 67 months.

So a cooperating witness just told a jury, under oath, 'I bribed Mayor Sheng Thao.' Campaign help for city housing contracts, $10K a house to her partner. Thao pleaded not guilty — the witness already pleaded guilty.

A man sat in jail nearly six months after a judge ordered him released. Indiana just suspended Judge Jose Salinas 45 days without pay — 45 days, for six months of a guy's life he doesn't get back.

A Wake County deputy allegedly used the sheriff's own computers to tip off a wanted felon — court docs say he did it 'in secrecy and with malice.' He's fired and charged now, and the DA's reviewing his cases. The guy meant to catch criminals was helping one hide.

Houston handed out 111 citations to volunteers for giving away free food. A federal judge just ruled the city violated their First Amendment rights — feeding hungry people isn't a crime, but it took a judge to tell Houston that.

A Tennessee cop handcuffed a 3-year-old, put him on his stomach and carried him outside while the boy cried and begged to be let go. He called it a 'Scared Straight' demo. A jury just convicted him of attempted official oppression and assault.

Your mail carrier was stealing checks straight out of the mail and selling them — 6,500 victims in a $34 million scheme. She just got six and a half years in federal prison. The one thing you're supposed to be able to trust dontcomply.com/story/former-…

A Florida deputy ran his estranged wife through the Flock camera database 100+ times starting on Valentine's Day — where she went, who she was with. He got arrested for it, and only because Flock finally built an audit tool. oathbreakers.org/story/pinel…

A VA employee took bribes to steer veterans to one clinic — $14 million in claims, over $11 million paid out. The clinic CEO got 13 months. The VA guy got 6 months. For selling out veterans.

Friday Accountability Watch: this week the paperwork caught up with everybody — a kid's lawsuit, a judge catching ICE lying on its own forms, and cops admitting they misused the plate readers. Here's the worst of it.

Could they be more tone deaf?
🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: President Trump by stroke of pen signs proclamation protecting the Oval Office from ever being demolished
"It will not be allowed to be touched by anybody, destroyed, ripped down by stupid people, in order to build something in a slightly different shape. We like the Oval Office." 🇺🇸
"We're declaring it a National Monument, send it over to Congress and ratify it."
"VERY important place. The biggest people come through...and they're in this room, and they can't believe it."
I'm glad the White House is not only being upgraded but preserved
ALL future presidents should appreciate this!
