A federal court on Tuesday condemned the Department of Justice’s efforts to provide members of Congress Volume II of the Special Counsel report while criminal prosecutions related to the report remained ongoing. While the country has moved on from the issue following Donald Trump’s inauguration, last week’s order crystalizes the Biden Administration’s outrageous weaponization of the DOJ against not just Trump but those associated with him.
Two weeks before Trump’s inauguration, the DOJ announced its intent to publicly release Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report on his investigations into Trump’s challenges to 2020 election and Trump’s retention of supposedly classified documents. Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, both of whom had been charged by Smith as co-defendants with Trump in the classified documents case, responded by filing an emergency motion to prevent the release of the report.
Trump and his two co-defendants had previously moved for the dismissal of the indictment, arguing that Smith had been improperly appointed and thus lacked authority to prosecute the criminal case. The presiding judge, Trump-appointee Aileen Cannon, agreed, and dismissed the case. The Biden Administration appealed to the Eleventh Circuit.
Following Trump’s election, the DOJ dismissed the appeal as to Trump, while continuing to challenge the dismissal of the criminal charges against Nauta and De Oliveira. And thus, the two co-defendants remain in criminal jeopardy.
Nonetheless, the DOJ announced its plans to release the special counsel report which detailed its investigation into Nauta and De Oliveira. Attorney General Merrick Garland would later walk back the release, announcing that his department would only publicly release Volume I of the report — which concerned the 2020 election — and for Volume II, it would limit access to that report to the majority and ranking members of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
