Part II Court Case in Favor of ECOT and a Report of What Has Happened to the ECOT Students
The 10th District Court of Appeals rules in favor of ECOT. The court gave a green light for ECOT to appeal the Ohio Department of Education's June 2017 decision to force ECOT to repay $60 million of payments. The State Supreme Court still has yet to decide the ECOT case on the retroactive application of the ODE's log-in requirements per student that put ECOT in non-compliance, which ultimately led to the school's closure. Ohio House Education Chairman Andy Brenner and State Rep. Andy Thompson discuss the court's decision and the tragic situation for the ECOT students that are still not accounted for by the Ohio Department of Education after the school's forced closure back in January.

Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D. Book: Killing the Deep State: The Fight to Save President Trump
Did the Deep State plan to keep Trump from winning the 2016 election?
Unable to accept that Donald Trump might win the 2016 elections, the NSA in cooperation with CIA Director John Brennan—Barack Obama’s handler in the CIA since Obama emerged in national politics by winning a Senate seat in Illinois
in 2006—began placing Trump and his aides under extensive electronic surveillance in an attempt to derail Trump’s candidacy. As WikiLeaks prepared to publish the emails of top Democratic National Committee (DNC) officials, including Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman, John Podesta, leaked from within the DNC, Brennan championed the “Russian collusion” narrative, seeking to delegitimize the Trump campaign.
