Breaking: Trump Targets Mail-In Ballots, Electronic Voting — Bongino on His Way Out Mail-in ballots, voting machines, redistricting, and Epstein’s history—all part of a single plan to rewrite America’s future—Project 2025. Lev Parnas Aug 19 As I warned you earlier today, the next 24 hours would be critical. Now you see why. In the early morning hours, Donald Trump ordered his officials to prepare documents for an executive order aimed at eliminating mail-in ballots and targeting electronic voting machines. This comes directly on the heels of Trump’s meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Putin made it crystal clear to Trump as they spoke: Democrats secured their victory through mail-in ballots, and if Trump wants to guarantee his grip on power, he must end them. And just like that, Trump seized on it. Early this morning, he set in motion the very blueprint I’ve been warning you about—Stephen Miller’s Project 2025 Election Reform Plan. Step by step, he’s putting it into action: halting mail-in ballots, moving to dismantle electronic voting machines, and laying the groundwork for massive redistricting and gerrymandering campaigns already playing out across America. The goal is simple: change the rules of the game so that democracy itself cannot function. At the very same time, another explosive development is unfolding behind the scenes, one the media refuses to cover. Kash Patel and Pam Bondi have quietly brought in Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey as co-deputy director of the FBI alongside Dan Bongino. As I have been telling you for over a month, Bongino has been a loose cannon, threatening to leave Trump’s circle because he refuses to be part of their cover-up. He knows where the bodies are buried—he’s seen the Epstein files, he knows the truth. And now, they are moving to silence him, to push him aside before he talks. This is the first step of Bongino’s exit, and they’re doing everything they can to keep it under wraps. Make no mistake—these two moves are connected. On one hand, Trump is dismantling our voting system, killing mail-in ballots, targeting electronic voting, and preparing gerrymandering campaigns as part of Stephen Miller’s Project 2025 blueprint. On the other hand, he and his allies are erasing the truth about Epstein and burying the voices of the victims by forcing out those like Bongino who know too much. Both are about consolidating power. Both are about silencing truth. And both are happening right now, in front of our eyes. The Blueprint: Step by Step What you’re seeing today is not random. It’s calculated. It’s planned. And I’ve been there before—I know how these men think. Step One was already executed. Trump first deployed the National Guard into Los Angeles, then sent them into Washington, D.C. This is part of normalizing the military presence in civilian life—conditioning Americans to grow desensitized to the sight of armed forces patrolling our streets. And he’s already told you what comes next: New York and Chicago are on the list. This is how it begins, with the slow and steady march of soldiers into our cities under the false banner of “law and order.” Step Two is unfolding right now: change the rules. Strip away every avenue for citizens to vote—mail-in ballots, absentee ballots, electronic voting machines—and redraw districts to guarantee control through gerrymandering. Suppression by any means necessary. Step Three will be ICE as Trump’s personal Gestapo—used to intimidate, pursue, and suppress voters. Step Four, if all else fails: declare martial law under the guise of national emergency. When Trump said today in the Oval, “If there’s a war, you don’t hold elections,” he wasn’t joking. He was saying the quiet part out loud. Meanwhile missiles and drones continue raining down on Ukrainian cities, killing children and families, while Putin tightens his grip on occupied territories, Trump continues his assault on our Constitution here at home. The media, of course, is chasing theatrics—photo ops in Alaska, staged handshakes, vague “peace talks.” But behind the curtain, the real story is unfolding: Trump moving to dismantle voting rights. Trump’s allies like Bill Barr testifying before Comer’s sham oversight committee to whitewash and rewrite the Epstein files—trying to erase Trump’s role and bury the truth. And here’s what I want you to know: we at Lev Remembers will not let them. We will not let them erase history. We will not let them bury the truth. We will not allow them to silence the victims and survivors. We will stand up for the children who were taken, for the voices that cannot speak, for the ones who are no longer with us. That is why we need to grow this platform, loud and strong, because only together can we stop them from rewriting reality. And that is why I ask you to stand with me and be an extension to my voice as I speak truth to power, and to ensure their voices are never forgotten. I’m not writing this as some pundit giving opinions. I’m telling you this as someone who has been in the rooms, who has worked alongside these men, who knows exactly how they think and what they’re planning. I was sent to Eastern Europe by Trump to pressure Zelensky. I know the networks. I know the playbook. And I know what happens if we stay silent. I’m risking everything to bring you these truths. Because silence is not an option. And let me tell you this: I’m planning something big. I’m taking this movement on the road and joining forces with powerful, like-minded people who, like me, are determined to save our democracy. This is already in motion, and when I bring it forward, it’s going to really piss Donald Trump and his enablers off. And that’s why, more than ever, I need you to stand with me. If you stand with me—set your alerts, subscribe, spread the word—because what comes next is not just important, it’s essential to protecting our elections and our future. My Plea to You 🙏 This isn’t just about one election. It isn’t just about Ukraine. It’s about whether our children and grandchildren will inherit a democracy or live under authoritarian rule. That’s why I’m asking you to stand with me. Share this letter far and wide. Bring three friends into this movement. Subscribe and, if you can, become a paid subscriber. Contribute directly to support my work on Venmo @lev-parnas. I don’t have billionaires or corporate media behind me. I have you. And together, we are not just a community—we are a movement. A movement for truth, for freedom, and for democracy. Because while Putin bombs Ukrainian families, and Trump bombs our Constitution, we will not let them erase the victims, silence the survivors, or bury the truth. I promise you: we will fight back. —Lev

 

Bon Voyage Bongino?

Joyce Vance Jul 15

When the FBI goes to war with the Attorney General, it’s usually polite and behind the scenes, unless it isn’t. Like when Jim Comey went behind AG Loretta Lynch’s back to hold a press conference explaining his view of the decision to decline prosecution of Hilary Clinton. When reports emerged late last week that the number two at FBI, Deputy Director Dan Bongino, was dissatisfied with AG Pam Bondi’s handling of—of all things, the Jeffrey Epstein report—it seemed like there would be more drama in the works. But after Bongino skipped work Friday, reportedly because he was considering quitting, there has been almost radio silence on the matter. Last week, Bongino “implied” it was either him or Bondi; one of them had to go.

Donald Trump had quite the reaction last week, coming to Bondi’s defense and writing, “We’re all on one Team, MAGA.”

Axios was first to report that all was not well in the DOJ family. “FBI deputy director Dan Bongino took a day off from work Friday after clashing at the White House with Attorney General Pam Bondi over their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, four sources familiar with the conflict told Axios.” It’s rich that Trump is trying to single handedly undo the rule of law, enacting executive order after executive order that violates the Constitution and our laws, while violating the due process of hundreds of deportees, and the one issue that finally gets people’s attention is…the Jeffrey Epstein files.

According to CNN, “Bongino denied leaking that notion [that he and Patel wanted more of the Epstein files released] to NewsNation, which published the story, a source familiar with the matter told CNN, though he did not sign on to a statement defending the review included in that article.”

These are not serious people.

The deputy director’s job, running day-to-day operations at the FBI, is consuming. It’s hard work. It requires sober dedication and constant diligence. It’s not for everyone. Also, absolutely no one leaks that they’re thinking about resigning from the job. “Do, or do not. There is no try,” as Yoda would say. The idea that a deputy director would publicly issue a “me or the AG must go” threat would be unthinkable in any other administration.

Pam Bondi has lost control of the most fraught relationship any attorney general has, the one with the director of the FBI who, while he technically works for her, has an enormous amount of power he can leverage for his own purposes. She was seen today at the White House, along with her number two, Deputy AG Todd Blanche, and FBI director Kash Patel. Word is they were there for hours.

It appeared that there was an effort to make Bondi the scapegoat as MAGA outrage over the failure to release a supposed list of Jeffrey Epstein’s clients boiled over on social media. It was definitely knives out. But there was a feeling of a high school blow up to it—Laura Loomer salaciously passed on the gossip about Patel and Bongino being unhappy with what Bondi was doing—than of the highest officials in the Trump administration conducting the nation’s business. If you’d tried to write a farce involving this crew, this scenario might be exactly what you would have come up with. The FBI investigates terrorism, violent crime, cartels, white collar crime, civil rights violations and more, but its leadership is spending its time trying to protect its image from MAGA tears over a situation that, no matter how serious sex trafficking is, no longer poses an ongoing threat to victims. The interest is more prurient that protective, certainly not a matter deserving of the full-blown attention of top leadership and DOJ and the FBI.

It’s worth noting that this blow up happened after Bongino found a 10-hour surveillance video taken outside of Epstein’s Manhattan jail cell the day he died. Believing it established Epstein had not been murdered, he saw to its release. It turns out that there is a minute missing at a key point, which triggered this round of uproar over Epstein and claims he was murdered while in custody. According to CNN, Bondi tried to explain it away as malfunctioning equipment that skips the same minute every night, but no one bought in. Whatever the reason, FBI top brass turned on Bondi.

To top it off, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche claimed there was nothing but harmony between the AG and the FBI’s leadership in a post on X Friday, tweeting, “the suggestion by anyone that there was any daylight between the FBI and DOJ leadership on this memo’s composition and release is patently false.” Of course, Blanche, too, has also stumbled recently. Documents disproving his claim that DOJ whistleblower Erez Reuveni was lying when he claimed Blanche’s principal deputy, Emil Bove, suggested the administration would ignore court orders in deportation cases. Blanche denounced Reuveni’s sworn statement as “utterly false”. But it turns out Reuveni had documents backing up his claims.

So, this DOJ leadership isn’t batting 1000—or anything close to it—when it comes to their reputation for telling the truth.

Best of all is the comment from the White House, reported by CNN:

“White House deputy press secretary Harrison Fields said Trump has ‘assembled a highly qualified and experienced law and order team dedicated to protecting Americans, holding criminals accountable, and delivering justice to victims.’

‘This work is being carried out seamlessly and with unity,’ Fields said. ‘Any attempt to sow division within this team is baseless and distracts from the real progress being made in restoring public safety and pursuing justice for all.’”

Sit back and get ready to watch that unity in action!

The FBI has much more important work to do than squable over this. We’ve just seen a massive failure by DHS and FEMA to support flooding victims in Texas, where over 100 people are still missing. FEMA hasn’t responded to Americans who need emergency help, ignoring over a thousand calls because this administration foolishly cut essential services from its budget. You would think the FBI would learn from this example and take care of its business, rather than let the next failure to protect Americans happen on their watch. But that doesn’t seem to be the case.

We’re in this together,
