By X22 report on March 26th, 2021.

Trump is planning to take it all, he is going after the House and the Senate. Good things sometimes take time.

Trump and the patriots are doing everything according to the rule of law. Optics are very important, if Trump went after the MSM/SM and the [DS] it would look like a political hit.

Trump is waiting for the states to do their job, they are now inspecting the election, and passing laws, and [NP] is doing exactly what Trump wants.

Inside the Trump world-organized retreat to plot out Biden's oversight

“I’m not aware of any other group that has held training so consistently and for such a wide range of staffers.”

A group closely aligned with former President Donald Trump helped organize a “boot camp” for GOP congressional staff this past February, training them on how to conduct aggressive oversight of the Biden administration, according to new disclosure forms filed with the U.S. House clerk’s office.

The sponsor, the Conservative Partnership Institute, counts Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows among its leaders and has been described as the “nerve center” for the MAGA (make America Great Again) movement and MAGA-aligned lawmakers. It was one of three organizations to host the gathering.

The two-day event, which took place on Maryland’s Eastern shore, illustrates how Trump-allied activists are quietly shaping House Republicans’ investigations of the Biden administration right as Trump himself mounts another White House bid. Topics discussed at the boot camp included tutorials on obtaining records and deposing and interviewing witnesses, according to a flier in the filings.

Among those who briefed the congressional aides were a former Trump administration official, an energy lobbyist, and a reporter from Epoch Times, a nonprofit media company tied to the Falun Gong Chinese spiritual community and known for its conspiratorial, pro-Trump views.

Founded in 2017 and chaired by former Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), CPI is a relative newcomer in the Washington conservative advocacy ecosystem. Yet it is raising massive sums — $45 million in 2021 alone — and rapidly gaining influence, particularly with members of the Trump-friendly House Freedom Caucus. Among the fellows, it lists on its website is Cleta Mitchell, one of the key attorneys who tried to help Trump overturn the 2020 election.

The Feb. 15-17 gathering was, according to disclosures, among roughly a dozen congressional staff training hosted over the past year at “Camp Rydin,” a 2,200-acre compound recently purchased by CPI. Situated in Cambridge, Md., the compound is named after Mike Rydin, a recently retired software magnate and advisory council member to the conservative group, Turning Point USA.

Other gatherings there have included a congressional researcher boot camp in December and a legislative director retreat in October. But experts who track such events say they’ve become more regular and popular among conservative groups like CPI.

“I’m not aware of any other group that has held training so consistently and for such a wide range of staffers,” said Brendan Fischer, deputy executive director at Documented, a nonpartisan investigative watchdog that tracks such training. “It really demonstrates how CPI is creating and nourishing the next generation of far-right politicos.”

According to an itinerary for the mid-February gathering, staffers were transported to the compound from The Heritage Foundation, a long-standing conservative think tank that also sponsored the event. Once there, they were offered the opportunity to attend 10 different panel discussions.

Invitees included, among others,15 staffers to Republican lawmakers who voted to overturn the results of the 2020 election, including Reps. Andy Harris of Maryland, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, and Lance Gooden of Texas. The staff, mostly legislative assistants, were invited “because their official duties include assisting with oversight matters” on a range of congressional committees, according to a disclosure form filed by one of the other three hosts, the American Accountability Foundation. The group is a nonprofit opposition research firm formed in 2021 that’s used “unorthodox” and “controversial” tactics to block the Biden agenda, according to Fox News.

“AAF is extremely excited to be able to work with Congressional Staff to assist them in their oversight activities in this Congress,” AAF chief Tom Jones, a former opposition research director for Sen. Ted Cruz, (R-Texas) said by email. “It’s a target-rich environment for oversight of the Biden Administration and whenever the Administration gets around to complying with Congress’ oversight demands, we’re going to need a cadre of young people to assist the committee’s oversight activities.”

Heritage and CPI did not respond to requests for comment through their press offices.

Such training sessions are permissible under congressional ethics rules unless registered lobbyists are driving the sessions, said Richard Painter, a former ethics lawyer in the George W. Bush administration. “Even if it’s technically legal, it’s very unseemly,” he said of “outside partisan groups hauling staff over to a resort with only Republicans in the room and coaching them on how to get more aggressive.”

“It really undermines the integrity of any investigations,” said Painter.

Among the speakers at the mid-February retreat was Hubbel Relat, who co-led a panel on how to craft public record requests. A former Trump Interior Department deputy solicitor, Relat was probed by the agency’s inspector general over “alleged interference” in 2019 for involvement in withholding hundreds of pages of public documents during the confirmation process for the department’s secretary-nominee. During a separate panel titled “Oversight Shark Tank,” Art Arthur, a former GOP Judiciary Committee counsel, and former Pennsylvania immigration judge, spoke and participants made mock pitches for potential investigations.

Other speakers included Merav Ceren, a senior staff member on the House Oversight Committee; Sean Hayes, the former director of oversight for the Department of Health and Human Services; and Becca Glover, deputy chief of staff to Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin.

"I'm Back" - Trump Posts On Facebook For First Time Since 2021

While Former President Trump sits there with his arms crossed, refusing to post on Twitter (despite Musk restoring his account weeks ago), he's just made his first post on Facebook since 2021.

"I'M BACK!" Trump posted, along with a 12-second clip of his 2016 election win in which he says "Sorry to keep you waiting. Complicated business, complicated."

Any bets on when he'll cave and start posting on Twitter again?

SORRY TO KEEP YOU WAITING, COMPLICATED....(video clip)
