What were once whispers in the corridors of the White House and Beltway discussing the possible demise of the FBI have grown into more mainstream conversations among administration insiders.
“The president is not happy with the Justice Department and he is not happy with the FBI director,” one high-level White House official said. “We’re all dealing with reality here that what happened with the FBI under (Robert) Mueller and (James) Comey. It might be a lost ship at this point.”
Talk in the Beltway of simply sacking the FBI as we know it today and starting over with a sleek, honest version of the once-elite law enforcement agency, is certainly now in the pipeline.
Trump professed recently he at some point will intervene to correct the wrongs of the Justice Department and FBI, if what he considers injustices against his White House continue.
A federal judge expressed deep skepticism Friday in the bank fraud case brought by special counsel Robert Mueller’s office against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, at one point saying he believes that Mueller’s motivation is to oust President Donald Trump from office.
The federal court case against Imran Awan, the former IT aide to congressional Democrats, has been hit with repeated delays over the last six months -- a situation fueled by allegations in the media that, according to his attorney, have piqued the curiosity of prosecutors.
Since November, a judge has postponed Awan’s court hearing in U.S. District Court five times at the request of the prosecution and defense. The latest postponement came Thursday, when the judge pushed Friday’s scheduled hearing to June 7.
In an interview Thursday with Fox News, Awan’s attorney, Christopher J. Gowen, blamed the delays on the steady stream of allegations against Awan that have been published online, especially by The Daily Caller, and pushed by President Trump and Republican members of Congress.
The reports suggest Awan, who worked for former Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and others, could have been involved in a cyber breach operation, something his legal team vigorously denies.
Allison Mack arrived in federal court on Friday morning for a status conference in her sex trafficking case.
The Smallville actress said little and ignored her co-defendant, Nxivm leader Keith Raniere, in their first face-to-face encounter since she agreed to cut all ties with the cult.
Mack and Raniere have both been arraigned on federal charges including two counts of sex trafficking and one count of conspiracy to commit forced labor.
Judge Nicholas Garaufis announced on Friday that the trial in the case would begin on October 1, and Raniere entered his plea of not guilty on all charges.
Lawyers for Raniere suggested that the defense will argue that the sexual acts between the cult leader and his younger female accusers were consensual.
The prosecution also had news to share on Friday, revealing that more indictments would be coming in the case.
Deals deals and more deals ... There may have to be more of a art to do the undeals made in the previous US regimes .

Vice President Mike Pence’s physician, Army Dr. Jennifer Pena, resigned from the White House Wednesday according to several senior Administration officials. Pena’s resignation comes just as the allegations she brought against President Trump’s physician Adm. Ronny Jackson were proven to be unsubstantiated. The onslaught of unfounded allegations – also propagated by Montana Sen. Jon Tester – led to Jackson’s decision to withdraw his name from consideration after being nominated by Trump to lead the Veteran’s Affairs Administration.
