SHOULD THE DEPT OF JUSTICE, F.B.I., AND I.R.S. BE SERVANTS OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY'S RULING CRIME FAMILIES OF GAMER LAWYERS?

As we stand right now, the federal government functions as an extra-constitutional and largely illegitimate system that usurps the individual states' respective sovereignties, infringes the American people's personal rights, and betrays the spirit of our country's foundations in liberty.

 In other words, to exonerate Biden, Obama must also exonerate Trump from the disgraceful, deeply (criminally?) dishonest charge leveled against Trump. I get a real kick imagining Obama sitting in the lavishly decorated office of one of his three luxury homes, cursing to himself that you can always trust Joe Biden to “F” things up.

 “Protect and enrich.” This is a perfect encapsulation of the Clinton Foundation  (TWO GAMER LAWYERS - OWNED BY GEORGE SOROS) (WHAT ABOUT THE CHINA BIDEN PENN CENTER?)  and the Obama (TWO GAMER LAWYERS - OWNED BY GEORGE SOROS) book and television deals. Then there is the Biden family (FOUR GAMER LAWYERS - JOE, HUNTER, JAMES, FRANK - OWNED BY GEORGE SOROScorruption, followed closely behind by similar abuses of power and office by the Warren (GAMER LAWYER) and Sanders families, as Peter Schweizer described in his recent book “Profiles in Corruption.” These names just scratch the surface of government corruption (ADD GAMER LAWYER KAMALA HARRIS (WANTS TO BE OWNED BY GEORGE SOROS) AND HER LAWYER HUSBAND AND THE BANKSTERS’ RENT BOY, LAWYER CHUCK SCHUMER AND GEORGE SOROS’ RENT BOY GAMER LAWER TONY BLINKEN, GEORGE SOROS RENT BOY,AS WELL AS CON MAN ADAM SHIFF) AND HIS CORRUPTNESS BOB MENENDEZ STILL EVADING PRISON.

For one thing, there’s a very sordid background to the story. The family  has a long history of corruption and drug use unhampered by legal prosecution.

SHOCKING New Evidence of Joe Biden's Corruption

 Almost three years later, the media and other Democrats are still burying the story of massive Biden family corruption, no matter how much proof they are shown. 

And they never ceased promoting the biggest lie of all, which is that the Obama administration was scandal-free because no one went to jail.  That's called skating in the real world.


Facebook Files: FBI Lied About Extensive Meetings with Zuckerberg’s Platform About Hunter Biden ‘Laptop from Hell’

The FBI lied about the extent of its communications with Facebook regarding the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020, newly disclosed communications from the tech company reveal. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) says that the FBI’s claim it only met with Facebook once about Biden’s “Laptop from Hell” are “completely false.”

This is the latest installment in Rep. Jim Jordan’s “Facebook Files,” a series of internal communications from the social networking platform obtained through a subpoena by the House Judiciary Committee, which Jordan chairs.

In a sworn deposition in the Missouri v. Biden case, FBI special agent Elvis Chan, who is the main conduit between the bureau and big tech companies, claimed that apart from one instance, he was not aware of any meetings between Facebook and the FBI regarding the Hunter Biden laptop story.

In the same deposition, he also claimed that he had “no internal knowledge” of the FBI’s investigation regarding the troubled Biden son’s laptop.

The Facebook files reveal both claims to be false. An internal Facebook communication reveals that Chan had more than one meeting with Facebook regarding the Hunter Biden laptop story.

Moreover, it reveals that, contrary to his claims of having no knowledge about the investigation, Chan confidently told the tech company — a day after the story broke and had been censored by the platform — that there was no evidence of any foreign connection “there was no current evidence to suggest any foreign connection…of the leaks.”


When Facebook initially asked the FBI if the Hunter Biden laptop story was real, Laura Dehmlow, currently Section Chief of the Foreign Influence Task Force, said “no comment.” At that point, the FBI was fully aware that the laptop was real, according to Rep. Jordan.

“The laptop was real, and the FBI knew it,” said Rep. Jordan on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “The FBI had the laptop since December 2019.”

“Is there any wonder why the Biden DOJ has so far stonewalled the Committee’s efforts to interview Agent Chan?”

Everything is wrong with the protective order the DOJ is seeking against Trump

On August 4, Donald Trump posted on his Truth Social an all-caps message: “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU.” The DOJ’s response is both dangerous and illuminating, especially when you consider that the entire case is an attack on Donald Trump’s right to free speech.

Following Trump’s Truth message, the response across the political spectrum was predictable. Trump supporters interpreted the message to mean that, to the extent he is the victim of illegitimate lawfare when he regains the White House, he will begin prosecuting Democrats for their open legal violations. In other words, what he said was political speech, which is absolutely protected under the First Amendment.

Meanwhile, members of both the Uniparty and the radical left clutched their pearls at the horror of seeing his intemperate response to the latest in the government’s official and unofficial attacks on him over the last seven years:

(Keith Olbermann, by the way, reposted that message or some variation thereof hourly, just to be sure everyone understood what he had to say. In my humble and non-medical estimation, the poor man is not well.)

The DOJ, of course, didn’t respond with mere commentary. Instead, it sought to silence Trump:

President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice is seeking to silence former President Donald Trump because of his Truth Social post in which Trump stated, “If you go after me, I’m coming for you!” 

The DOJ appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith argued on Friday that Trump needs to have a strict court order to silence him about court proceedings. 

The motion for a protective order is a sneaky effort to extort Trump into silence. What it says is that it has all sorts of evidence that Trump needs to have for his defense against the charges in the indictment against him, but that the DOJ won’t produce it unless Trump is gagged about the case. When you consider that the entire case is a blatant attack on Trump’s First Amendment rights, the effort to muzzle him adds insult to injury…and reflects the left’s terrible fear of Trump’s words.

According to the motion, the DOJ is desperate to give Trump the material he needs to prepare his defense. However, the motion claims that the problem is that Trump insists on speaking about the case and the people involved:

The implication is that Trump, like some mafia don, is ordering hits on witnesses. Of course, all the Democrats involved in this case understand that Trump’s speech is intended to show that the case is corrupt.

For example, the judge, Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, worked for Boies Schiller Flexner, a Democrat-party-connected firm. This is the same firm for which Hunter Biden held an “of counsel” position in 2014 when Joe Biden was Vice President that once listed Hunter Biden as a former counsel. She was the judge who forced Trump to produce records to the House’s kangaroo January 6 committee, and she is the hangingist hanging judge when it comes to January 6 defendants. You can probably sense the bad smell wafting off your computer as you read these words.

Trump has openly shown his distrust for Chutkan’s impartiality:

The attorneys on the case are equally biased, which, when you’re dealing with the DOJ, is itself a form of corruption. While attorneys in private cases or defense counsel are expected to have biases, the government is supposed to stand for justice, not partisanship. Nevertheless, the DOJ justices, through their actions, appear to be Democrat hacks whose sense of right and wrong is dictated not by the law, but by partisan interests:

Jack Smith is no better. Famously, he went after former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell, a Democrat, only to get reversed by a unanimous Supreme Court. However, Smith had the last laugh because he destroyed McDonnell’s political career. Clearly, he intends to do the same here to Donald Trump. Whatever else Smith is, he’s loyal to the Democrat party, as are the people assisting him.

Trump has called them out, just as he has called out the judge:

What one can divine from all this is that these DOJ attorneys fully understand that, when Trump says that he’s coming after them, this is not the equivalent of his placing a horse head in their beds. Instead, he means that he will subject them to legal processes.

Trump made a terrible mistake when he didn’t direct his DOJ to prosecute Hillary Clinton, who had openly violated national security laws. Her conviction would have been a slam dunk, for she had no defense for her actions. It would also have announced that (a) Republicans are not pushovers and (b) all political figures must answer for actual crimes, as opposed to the Lavrentiy Beria-style attacks on Trump and other Democrats (“Show me the man, and I’ll show you the crime.”)

Thinking about it that way, it’s no wonder the Biden administration is so desperate to silence Trump and keep him from office. From Biden on down (heck, maybe from Obama on down), they’ve been able to run roughshod over the law for a long, long time.

Throw All the Bums Out

I don't think the federal government will exist in its current form much longer.  The reason is simple: if Marxist globalists get their way, then sovereign U.S. powers will continue to be unlawfully delegated to the U.N., the WHO, and other international monstrosities until some Obama-type tyrant is ruling over us all from Turtle Bay or a stately castle outside Brussels.  If freedom-minded people succeed in reining in the federal government and reimposing the Constitution's limited delegation of powers, then the monstrosity that is already with us will radically diminish or disappear.  Either the current beast lording it over us will transform into something even more menacing, or it will be sapped of its blood-thirst for unconstitutional overreach and brought to heel.  For what it's worth, my vote is for the Price Is Right option: the whole D.C. menagerie should just be spayed or neutered.

As we stand right now, the federal government functions as an extra-constitutional and largely illegitimate system that usurps the individual states' respective sovereignties, infringes the American people's personal rights, and betrays the spirit of our country's foundations in liberty.

Our Union came into existence only because the former colonies were assured that they would maintain their freedom and independence.  Had the Articles of Confederation or their successor, the U.S. Constitution, sought to extinguish the individual states' inherent sovereignties by replacing their discrete political powers with those of a single new nation, then no agreement to form a Union would have ever been reached.  The colonies did not fight a war for their independence from an empire only to squander their victory and become part of another empire.

Quite the contrary, the individual states maintain a political stature on par with foreign nations such as France and Spain; it is only in the specifically enumerated powers delegated to the federal government that federal authority supersedes the states' own.  That word "delegated" is important.  The federal government's power does not spring from thin air, but rather is derived from specifically listed authorities delegated to it from the states and the people.  The American people and the individual states are the origin of all legitimate power, and the federal government exists only so long as the people and the states continue to lend their own innate powers to breathe life into an otherwise powerless system.  Before the Civil War, the idea that an American was a citizen of the United States would have been as absurd as an American today being a citizen of the United Nations.  Americans are citizens of their respective states, and the states belong to the Union. 

Because history and civics are no longer taught in school, the federal government has worked a self-serving linguistic voodoo that has allowed it to pretend that the birth of the United States was the birth of a brand new nation.  In actuality, we are a federation of independent states that magically became a single nation before inexplicably becoming a borderless empire.

If we were still abiding by the Constitution, then 99% of today's federal government would be chucked to the bottom of the Potomac.  As James Madison wrote in The Federalist Papers (No. 45):

The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government, are few and defined.  Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite.  The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected.  The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State.

In other words, the individual states and the American people delegated a small number of powers (there are only eighteen enumerated legislative powers in Art. I, Sec. 8) to a jointly directed government that would provide for the states' common defenses, represent the states in negotiations with other nations, and regulate foreign commerce among the states.  That's it.  All other powers, as the Ninth and Tenth Amendments make clear, remain with the individual states and the people.  

The plain meaning of the U.S. Constitution and the Founding Fathers' copious essays and personal correspondence all attest to their intention to keep the federal government small, limited in authority, and deferential to the states.  Instead, we have today the largest, most expensive, most powerful central government that has ever existed on Planet Earth.  No detail of an American's life is too small for the federal government not to regulate; no nuclear confrontation is too risky or military alliance too great for D.C.'s permanent "ruling class" not to unilaterally undertake.  The federal government insists on controlling the rain puddles on our land, the political speech that we may voice, the health care we may receive, the appliances in our homes, and the fruits of our labor.  The Constitution vests none of these powers in the federal government; they represent illegitimate power-grabs, yet the government has legalized its illegitimacy anyway.

The idea was simple: divide the federal government into three branches that would compete against one another, let the state legislatures control the U.S. Senate, and let the people choose their representation for the House.  Instead, the branches conspired with one another to become bigger and more powerful, the Seventeenth Amendment turned the Senate into a ruling aristocracy, and the imposition of political parties gave private corporations control over who would pretend to represent the people.  In order to sidestep the Constitution's limitations completely, the federal government invented a fourth branch — the administrative State — that acts with the combined powers of the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial Branches while operating beyond the reach of the people.  In order to preserve these illegitimate powers, the federal government then invented an unaccountable Intelligence Community that spies on and bullies ordinary Americans.

Within the Constitution's "checks and balances," the people have three principal powers to use against the federal government: their vote, their free speech, and their Second Amendment right to defend themselves against tyranny.  Today, elections are not trusted, the federal government censors political speech and dissent, and there is an ongoing effort to deprive Americans of their firearms.  The federal government has stolen the people's power.

The individual state governments, bought off or intimidated into submission long ago, have largely remained quiet.  It is as if someone told the states to play dead, and they complied.

The remedy to all this nonsense has always been straightforward: nullification.  In the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions arguing against the constitutionality of the Alien and Sedition Acts, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison insisted that the states have a duty to reject acts of Congress not authorized by the Constitution's enumerated powers.  "[W]here powers are assumed which have not been delegated," Jefferson wrote, "nullification ... is the rightful remedy."  Alexander Hamilton — a staunch supporter of centralized government — agreed and warned that should Congress exert authority beyond its "constitutional powers," its actions are "merely acts of usurpation and will deserve to be treated as such."  

What we need is a movement of people who recognize that nullification is not only possible, but necessary.  The problem is that Americans have been forced to choose between two private corporations posing as political parties that do not embrace a duty to protect Americans' freedom and liberty.  That is perhaps the most telling symptom of our current problems.  A Union that was formed to protect the people's inalienable rights and liberties has no political party addressing those foundational concerns on the national stage.  

Perhaps it is time to throw all the bums out, so that we may begin representing ourselves.

Democrats Are Dancing the Totalitarian Two-Step

Democrats and corporate media throw around terms like 'fascism' and 'dictatorship' as a means of stifling discussion of anyone they disagree with. Totalitarianism is another term along those lines, typically associated with tyrants such as Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler.

While Wikipedia is not the most reliable reference source, they have a clear and concise definition of totalitarianism:

Totalitarianism is a form of government and a political system that prohibits all opposition parties, outlaws individual and group opposition to the state and its claims, and exercises an extremely high if not complete degree of control and regulation over public and private life.

It employs all-encompassing campaigns in which propaganda is broadcast by state-controlled mass media in order to control the citizenry.

As kids like to ask their parents on long road trips: “Are we there yet?”

When it comes to totalitarianism, I am afraid we are there. America as a beacon of freedom and liberty may be in hospice care, barely alive, with little hope of survival or healing.

COVID was a good example of “complete control and regulation over public and private life.” DEI and wokeism is much the same. Then there is political dissent.

Socialist historian Howard Zinn proclaimed, “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.” Socialist two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton echoed, “We need to stand up and say we're Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.” The Biden-Garland-Obama junta took a 180 by criminalizing free speech and dissent.

Former President Donald Trump is racking up indictments almost as fast as current President Joe Biden is collecting falls and face plants.

Start with the timing of these indictments. Matt Margolis provided a timeline suggesting that indictments are dropped against Biden’s political opponent whenever Biden or his family are implicated in another scandal.

This convenient distraction is actually election interference, what Trump is accused of in the most recent indictment. The party in power has arrested and wants to imprison its political opposition, banana republic-style.

The same day that the FBI released bribery allegations against Joe Biden, Trump was indicted over supposed mishandling of classified documents. When Hunter Biden’s plea deal fell apart, the next day Special Counsel Jack Smith added a superseding indictment in the classified documents case.

YouTube screen grab

Then right on schedule, the day after Devon Archer confirmed Hunter Biden’s foreign influence-peddling with Father Joe’s knowledge and participation, Smith indicted Trump for challenging the 2020 presidential election results, conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

What Biden’s DOJ is doing is out of the totalitarianism playbook, eliminating political opposition, outlawing opposition to the state and pushing its claims through state-controlled media.

Since when does America indict and attempt to imprison political opponents, especially former presidents? And for exercising First Amendment rights to free speech?

So what if Trump complains that the elections were rigged or fraudulent? Is that not allowed? Mind-reader Jack Smith is alleging that Trump did not believe his own elections claims. If that’s the precedent, most Republicans are next in line for arrest.

CNN poll shows, “69% of Republicans and Republican-leaning Independents view President Joe Biden's win as illegitimate.”

If this is the new normal, most Democrats should be indicted over denying election results. If Trump wins in 2024, perhaps his Attorney General Rudy Giuliani can indict these Democrats using Jack Smith’s precedent, as outlined in this RNC video montage of Democrats denying previous election results.

Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Barack Obama, Stacey Abrams, and most Democrat members of Congress and cable news anchors should be indicted for conspiracy to challenge previous elections, defrauding the U.S.

Let’s add other names of high government officials who participated in the Russian collusion hoax. Richard Nixon wiretapped DNC headquarters and was forced to resign. James Clapper, James Comey, John Brennan, President Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Susan Rice, and many others wiretapped Trump Tower, spied on an opposing political campaign, its transition team, and its administration.

They lied to FISA courts for surveillance warrants, gaslit the media and American people, and are rewarded with book deals, university faculty appointments, television commentary gigs, none receiving even a slap on the wrist. They all conspired to rig or overturn an election with no special counsels and no indictments. Such propaganda and elimination of political opposition fits the definition of totalitarianism.

Don’t forget the conspiracy of 51 intelligence officials lying over Hunter Biden’s laptop being Russian disinformation. This conspiracy obstructed a presidential election, defrauding America and voters, 16 percent of whom would have not voted Biden if they were told the truth. All 51 co-conspirators kept their security clearances and their freedom.

What’s next? Will Biden’s DOJ round up and arrest the 60 percent of likely U.S. voters who, according to Rasmussen Reports, “suspect recent elections have been affected by cheating, and believe officials are ignoring the problem”? Or the 69 percent of Republican voters that believe Biden’s 2020 win was illegitimate?

Where is the GOP on this? Is there any GOP outrage or pushback? So much for checks and balances and co-equal branches of government. Where are the GOP primary candidates on this outrage that awaits them should they ever make it to the White House, and unlike the Bushes, actually push back against the deep state?

Candidate Ron DeSantis, under donor class pressure, channeling his inner Mitt Romney, declared that “claims about the 2020 election being stolen were false,” according to the New York Times.

High-minded Republicans who look down on Trump and would be happy to see him politically eliminated so they can feel good about themselves and their “principles,” fail to realize that they may be next.

Oh, I am just exaggerating, this is only about Trump. Really?

The Michigan Attorney General “filed charges against 16 people who signed paperwork falsely claiming that President Donald Trump had won the 2020 election as part of a scheme to overturn the results.”

Were any charges filed against Democrats in 2016 when, “Many Democrats, liberal activists, and Hollywood stars tried to pressure electors to reverse the results of the November election”? Or when in 1960, Democrats did in Hawaii the same as Republicans did in 2020, according to Politico. I don’t recall any indictments in 2016 or 1960.

The same Michigan AG is prosecuting her predecessor over allegedly tampering with voting machines while those scanning and rescanning ballots in the middle of the night were given a pass. Another Democrat attempting to arrest and imprison her political opponent.

If Democrats get away with this, they will double down, imprisoning their political opponents. Totalitarianism anyone?

Real election interference, in 2016, 2020, and now 2024 at the hands of the federal government is encouraged and cheered on by the corporate media. Republicans sputter and stutter. And if anyone complains or calls it out, they are indicted.

How’s that for totalitarianism?

The federal government has turned its immense powers against political rivals. They want to arrest and imprison their leading political opponent. Why? Let Trump answer that from his recent op-ed,

Seven years ago, I ran for office taking on all the most corrupt forces and entrenched interests in our nation's capital. My agenda was an existential threat to a Washington establishment that got rich and powerful bleeding America dry.

Will Trump in prison be enough for the totalitarians? How about the death penalty? One of the recent indictment charges is for violating Civil War-era laws which would normally involve only 10 years in prison, but could be extended to death if, according to the DOJ, the government “proves an aggravating factor.” That can’t happen. Or can it?

The same DOJ that is criminalizing free speech can surely concoct an “aggravating factor.” And they have a willing Obama-appointed judge overseeing the case, one who when presiding over January 6 protesters, “handed down sentences tougher than the ones sought by prosecutors.”

What if she decides to hand down a tougher than asked-for death sentence to Trump due to “aggravating factors”? Don’t think it could happen? I never thought our government would attempt to imprison a political opponent because they didn’t like his protected free speech. And at the same time, giving the current government leader and his family a pass for selling U.S. policy interests to foreign actors - bribery and treason.

If the current government wants a civil war, what would they do differently? Add that to a nation in economic freefall with no national sovereignty or pride, a decimated military, and a rotting culture. The time is ripe for foreign adversaries to put an end to America as the shining city on the hill.

Who will stop any of this? A Democrat president whose family took millions from these countries (in exchange for what?) or a MAGA president who is willing to fight back? And fight back he will. If he is charged, he has subpoena power and discovery for his defense, assuming the judge doesn’t block it all.

Trump summarized it well concluding in his op-ed,

There must be a reckoning. Accountability now lies in the hands of the voters. The Durham Report has made the stakes abundantly clear, and now the choice is ours: either the Deep State destroys America, or we destroy the Deep State.

This is America’s last stand as a beacon of freedom and liberty. Continuing this path means America, R.I.P.

 VISUALIZE IMPEACHMENT AND IMPRISONMENT

White House Deputy Spox Andrew Bates Lied About Biden’s Burisma Meeting

Nicholas Kamm / AFP via Getty

White House Deputy Press Secretary Andrew Bates misled the press in 2020 when he denied that a meeting between then-Vice President Joe Biden and Burisma board adviser Vadym Pozharskyi in 2015 took place — a meeting that was confirmed last week.

In October 2020, the New York Post revealed an email from Pozharskyi on the laptop of Biden’s son, Hunter. In the email, dated April 17, 2015, Pozharskyi thanked Hunter Biden for inviting him to Washington, D.C., to meet and spend time with his father.

The email therefore suggested that Joe Biden had lied when he told reporters in 2019 that he had never discussed his family’s business dealings. It also confirmed a link to Burisma, which the Bidens had denied during Trump’s first impeachment trial.

The Biden campaign vigorously denied that such a meeting ever took place, however, saying there was no such meeting on the “official schedules” of the vice president. Andrew Bates, then a spokesperson for the campaign, issued a strident statement:

Investigations by the press, during impeachment, and even by two Republican-led Senate committees whose work was decried as ‘not legitimate’ and political by a GOP colleague have all reached the same conclusion: that Joe Biden carried out official U.S. policy toward Ukraine and engaged in no wrongdoing. Trump Administration officials have attested to these facts under oath.

The New York Post never asked the Biden campaign about the critical elements of this story. They certainly never raised that Rudy Giuliani – whose discredited conspiracy theories and alliance with figures connected to Russian intelligence have been widely reported – claimed to have such materials. Moreover, we have reviewed Joe Biden’s official schedules from the time and no meeting, as alleged by the New York Post, ever took place.

However, as Breitbart News contributor Peter Schweizer noted at the time, there were gaps in Biden’s official schedule that day. And last week, Devon Archer, Hunter’s former business partner, confirmed the 2015 meeting at the House Oversight Committee.

The following exchange took place at the committee, during Archer’s testimony (via House Oversight Committee transcript):

Q — turn your attention now to spring of 2015, dinner at Cafe Milano, where I believe Vice President Biden attended as well. Can you tell us about that dinner? Who was there?

A Okay. Could you repeat the date?

Q It’s the spring or April of 2015, around —

A April 2015.

Mr. Schwartz. The second one.

Mr. Archer. Oh, the second — there you go. Yes, Vice President Biden did attend.

BY MR. MANDOLFO:
Q And who else was there?

A There was two dinners. At that diner, it was Vadym, Karim Massimov — so Vadym P. from Burisma; Karim Massimov; a Greek priest, Orthodox priest; I think — I believe someone from the World Food Programme. I think that was the — and then there — do you have others?

Democrats attempted to play down Archer’s testimony, saying that Joe Biden merely discussed “the weather” with his son’s business partners. None acknowledged that the president had lied, or that his campaign had lied, about Burisma and other contacts with Hunter Biden’s business partners.

Bates has not commented on the latest revelations.

Legal analyst Jonathan Turley, commenting on the confirmation of a meeting between Joe Biden and a Burisma executive that Bates had claimed never took place, observed: “It was the same pattern that we saw with the laptop. The claims of Russian disinformation. The lack of media curiosity. The lack of coverage of the later disclosures. It is the hallmark of a state media, by consent rather than coercion. There is the denials of the incident, the dismissal of the story, and then the downplaying of the countervailing facts.”

DOJ Prosecutor Working on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Team Is a Biden Donor

One of the veteran attorneys advising special counsel Jack Smith in his prosecution of former President Donald Trump has donated thousands of dollars to Democrat politicians, including President Joe Biden.

David Rody left his role as a partner at the Sidley Austin law firm in 2022 to join the Department of Justice (DOJ) as a senior counsel in the criminal division. Now, he is helping advise Smith, who has indicted Trump twice for his alleged efforts to challenge the 2020 election and his handling of White House documents.

Interestingly, Rody is a Democrat donor who donated $5,600 to Biden in 2020 and nearly $7,000 to other Democrat causes from 2018 to 2022.

As the Washington Examiner detailed:

Rody, who previously led investigations related to bribery, fraud, obstruction of justice, and other federal crimes, used to be head of the Violent Crimes unit in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. In June, he also steered $1,000 to the campaign for Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), who was lead counsel in the first impeachment inquiry against Trump, disclosures show.

He also gave $500 in 2019 to the failed-presidential campaign for now-Vice President Kamala Harris and $2,250 combined to Sen. Cory Booker’s (D-NJ) presidential and Senate reelection campaigns, according to disclosures.

“Jack Smith and his gang of henchmen are dishonest, partisan hacks acting as enforcers for Joe Biden and the Democrat Party,” Karoline Leavitt, spokesperson for the Make America Great Again Inc. PAC, said. “It’s no surprise that several of his prosecutors are Biden donors.”

Karen Gilbert, another lead attorney on Smith’s team, is also a Biden and former President Barack Obama donor, the Examiner reported.

Further, Smith’s wife is a Biden donor and helped produce a documentary about Michelle Obama.

As Breitbart News reported:

Federal Election Commission records show that Smith’s wife, Katy Chevigny, contributed $1,000 each to Biden’s 2020 campaign, Biden for President, and the Biden Victory Fund super PAC, on September 9, 2020. Moreover, she donated $150 to the Friends of Rashida Tlaib committee in July 2008 when Tlaib was running for the Michigan House of Representatives in the state’s Twelfth District.

Trump was indicted by a Washington, DC, grand jury on Tuesday on four counts: conspiracy to defraud the U.S., conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights, all in relation to the January 6 Capitol riots.

On Thursday, Trump appeared in federal court in D.C. and entered a not-guilty plea. After his arraignment, Trump declared, “This is a persecution of a political opponent.”

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan will preside over the special counsel’s latest trial against Trump. Chutkan, appointed by Obama, donated to former President Barack Obama’s 2008 election and 2012 reelection campaigns, as Breitbart News reported.

THE BIDEN KLEPTOCRACY

American people deserve to know what China was up to with Joe Biden, especially when Beijing had already shelled out millions of dollars to Biden family members — including millions in set-asides for “the big guy.” What else is on that infamous Hunter Biden laptop? The conflicted Biden Justice Department cannot be trusted to engage in any meaningful oversight on this issue. We need a special counsel now.

Joe Biden increased pathways for migrants into the U.S. -- only to create a new border surge

Once upon a time, New York City's top urban planning strongman, Robert Moses, built highways and bridges across and into New York City, aiming to stop traffic congestion.

And more of them. And more. Moses is why New York City has the Triborough Bridge, the Brooklyn-Battery Link, Interstate 278, the Cross Bronx Expressway, and many other passageways. He built them all, and then he built some more.

And as every journalism student, having read Robert Caro's The Power Broker, would know, Moses was astonished. Instead of less traffic coming into Manhattan from the outer boroughs and beyond -- there was more. Manhattan became more traffic-congested than ever as a result, and lots of neighborhoods were ruined, too, divided and corrupted by the roaring overhead highways.

This curiously corresponds exactly to what we are seeing at the border right now -- a new migrant surge, coming in the wake of Joe Biden's expansion of what he claims are new, expanded, legal pathways for illegal immigrants to get into the country solely on their claims to asylum.

According to the Border Report:

McALLEN, Texas (Border Report) – Rio Grande Valley Sector Border Patrol agents report recently encountering five large groups of 648 migrants on the South Texas border, a massive uptick since the lifting of Title 42.

...

But well, now they are. The old border surges are back, ready for the television cameras again, just as Joe Biden and his minions have gotten done crowing about how Biden solved the border crisis.

Observers of city planning have a word for this: The Congestion Paradox, brought on by what's known as "induced demand." When you build more roads, you get more, not less, traffic.

According to a very good unnamed writer at The Generalist Academy:

Moses built many bridges and roads with the goal of alleviating congestion in New York. However, every time a new bridge was built, traffic did not improve. Instead, people who normally wouldn’t drive switched from public transport to cars. People who wouldn’t normally make the trip decided that now it was worth it. More roads = more traffic.

Now, the fact that people were observing this back in the 1940s doesn’t change the fact that people keep insisting that more roads will solve traffic problems. And I understand why: it makes intuitive sense. It’s just mostly wrong. The technical term for this is “induced demand” – as in, by building roads you’re inducing more demand for roads.

The Wikipedia entry on Induced Demand has many important technical economic details for why this always happens, brought on by short-term and long-term variables.

But the conclusion is this:

A 2004 meta-analysis, which took in dozens of previously published studies, confirmed this. It found that:

...on average, a 10 percent increase in lane miles induces an immediate 4 percent increase in vehicle miles travelled, which climbs to 10 percent – the entire new capacity – in a few years.

An aphorism among some traffic engineers is "Trying to cure traffic congestion by adding more capacity is like trying to cure obesity by loosening your belt."

Its roughly correspond to the old economic adage that if you tax something less, you get more of it, and if you tax something more, you get less of it.

It's the same dynamic with roads -- and now immigration pathways -- because human nature is always going to be human nature.

Joe Biden has repeated the Moses mistake in spades by increasing "legal" pathways for entry into the U.S. from people who shun ordinary immigration procedures. Unlike Pete Buttigieg, whose "racist highways" claims were clearly bowdlerized from Caro's book, Biden doesn't read these kinds of books. He doesn't even care, because what he does want is more illegal immigrants coming into the country, and this serves his aim perfectly.

He's instituted pathway after pathway for them, starting with something called CBPOne, a mobile app for getting appointments for entry into the U.S. from countries such as Haiti and Venezuela if someone already has a relative in the country to serve as sponsor. If you are that first person, bravo, all your relatives can now come into the country. If you are not, you've got the border to cross in order to open that pathway to the rest of your family, village, or tribe. Recent reports say the acceptance rate for these applicants is 100%.

Biden's also set up migrant service centers, through Central America and now even Colombia, to provide even more pathways for migrants to get in. The migrants accepted from this pathway are reportedly bussed into the states under cover of darkness, in buses paid for by the federal government. Those migrants get in, too.

He's also sued the state of Texas, which has set up inflatable border barriers along the Rio Grande to stop migrant traffic, apparently for the migrants' own safety. Because a few unwise migrants have attempted to ignore these barriers and got themselves killed in the harsh currents of the river, Texas's governor is now being branded a human rights violator in the loopy newspeak coming from the Bidens, and the Bidenites of course are suing him.

More passages, more migrants. And these aren't the only new passages Biden's set up, catch-and-release is still very much in operation, too, as well as other means of getting in.

Now after a quiet period dating from these new pathways to immigration into the states, the border surges are back. 

Moses at least, could be reliably have been said to have made a mistake in calculating that new passageways would create less trafffic.

Joe Biden has no such excuse -- the information is out there and has been there for years, while his own transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, has clearly read the book.

I remember this detail well from my own journalism-school reading (we had to read this book during the preceding summer) and I think it's still required reading.

Biden bragged loudly about opening more legal pathways for migrants to get in, and now the verdict is in -- we are getting those pathways -- along with a second border surge as a result of those pathways, owing to the fact that hundreds of millions of people around the world would like to get into the U.S. and see their chance now. The increased pathways not only filled up quickly and left the illegal immigration totals the same as before, they freed up the border for even more illegal entrants, just as all of Moses's highways filled up the more he constructed additional ones. That is bound to at raise the illegal immigration into the U.S. beyond even its current records, even as cities affected, at the border and in the blue-city destinations, are at breaking points.

 It's coming. It's reached the 10% point, as described in the Wikipedia passage. The Big Guy always was about ten percent, and this emerging event is just another demonstration of it.

5 People Referenced Joe Biden as the ‘Big Guy’

Overwhelming evidence suggests the “big guy” is a monicker that represents President Joe Biden.

The monicker appears in an FBI informant form, text messages, and emails between Biden business associates. It also reportedly formed a part of the grand jury investigation into Hunter Biden, which IRS whistleblowers claim was politically influenced to protect the Bidens.

When questioned if he is the identity behind the monicker, Joe Biden snapped: “Why do you ask such a dumb question?”

At least five individuals involved in the family business referenced Joe Biden as the ‘big guy.”

1) Mykola Zlochevsky

An FBI informant form publicly revealed Thursday shows Zlochevsky referred to Joe Biden as the “big guy.” Zlochevsky is the founder of Burisma Holdings. An FBI informant claimed in a FD-1023 form that Zlochevsky bribed Joe and Hunter Biden with $5 million each:

CHS mentioned Zlochevsky might have difficulty explaining suspicious wire transfers that may evidence any (Illicit) payments to the Bidens. Zlochevsky responded he did not send any funds directly to the “Big Guy” (which CHS understood was a reference to Joe Biden).

On the evening of September 24, 2019, Democratic Speaker of the House from California, Nancy Pelosi announced that six committees of the House of Representatives would undertake a formal impeachment inquiry against President Trump. The impeachment inquiry has been initiated following a whistleblower complaint over allegedly dealings of US President Donald J. Trump with Ukraine. The whistleblower report claimed that President Trump had "pressured" Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky during a July 2019 phone call to launch investigations into the actions of former vice president and 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden and involvement of his son Hunter Biden in the Burisma Holdings Company. In 2014 Hunter Biden , the son of then-US vice president Joe Biden was appointed to the board of Burisma Holdings, as Wikipedia webpage reported.

2) Gary Shapley

IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley said the leadership of the DOJ’s criminal investigation of Hunter Biden for alleged tax and gun violations prevented subordinates from investigating the “big guy.”

The whistleblower told Republicans:

Among other things, we wanted to question Walker about an email that said: “Ten held by H for the big guy.” We had obvious questions like who was H, who the big guy was, and why this percentage was to be held separately with the association hidden. But AUSA Wolf interjected and said she did not want to ask about the big guy and stated she did not want to ask questions about “dad.” When multiple people in the room spoke up and objected that we had to ask, she responded, there’s no specific criminality to that line of questioning.

3) James Gilliar

Hunter Biden’s business partner, James Gilliardubbed Joe Biden ‘the big guy’ in a 2017 email. Gilliar used the monicker for Joe Biden in his May 13, 2017, email to whistleblower Tony Bobulinski, who confirmed “the big guy” was a reference to Joe Biden. The 2017 email revealed a business deal between Bobulinski, the Biden family, and high-ranking members of the Chinese Communist Party would include 10 percent “held by H for the big guy?”

Gilliar also called Joe Biden the “big guy” a second time on October 14, 2020, in an exchange with a panicked unnamed person, the New York Post reported:

Gilliar was asked if “Hunter and/or Joe or Joe’s campaign [would] try to make it ‘Oh, we were never involved’ … and try to basically make us collateral damage?”

“I don’t see how that would work for them…,” Gilliar responded in the 6:07 p.m. message reviewed by The Post.

“I think in the scenario that he wins they would just leave sleeping dogs lie,” Gilliar added. “If they lose, honestly, I don’t think that the Big Guy really cares about that because he’ll be too busy focusing on all the other s–t he is doing.”

4) Geoff Roger

An executive at wealth management company Glenmede Trust Company, Geoff Roger, used the monicker in an email to Hunter Biden about then-Vice President Joe Biden’s appearance at a dinner at Whitehall Neck Sportsman Club, a private club in Delaware in 2013.

Rogers wrote to the president’s son, “Hunt see below… I was not there but heard all about it. The big guy made them happy.”

5) Hunter Biden

Hunter Biden used the “big guy” monicker in a 2014 email to Chuck Harple, a trade union lobbyist, with whom Hunter Biden hoped to set a meeting between the head of the North American Building Trades Union and Joe Biden. The email came after not receiving a response after using an official channel.

I’ll work on it — but is there any issue I should know about before I go around everyone and straight to him?” Hunter questioned.

“What works best — for you and I — is for you to call [the union president] first. Say you talked to me and that you want to get all the facts before you talk to the big guy,” Harple replied.

Getting Biden Wrong

By Paul Gottfried

Okay, I get it! From listening to Republican TV and reading Republican publications, I have learned that Joe Biden is a sleazy, mendacious, and demented chief executive. He has weaponized the entire Justice Department and the IRS against his real and suspected political opponents, thrown open our southern border to drug cartels, and reduced our armed forces and international posture to shambles. Moreover, Joe has a gangster son with whom he has engaged in illegal business ventures; and it’s entirely possible that the cocaine recently found in the West Wing of the White House came from son Hunter, who is a drug addict as well as many other bad things. 

 Biden seems to be far and away the most incompetent, unprincipled, and verbally incoherent president of my lifetime, going back to the 1950s. It would be hard to think of any president who has disgraced his office to the same degree or who has unleashed more problems on this country. 


The Media Throw Hunter Biden Under the Bus To Save the 'Big Guy'

August 1, 2023

After years of ignoring, downplaying, and defending Hunter Biden’s scandals, the mainstream media appear ready to throw in the towel. It looks like the first son may have to take the fall to protect his dad, President Joe Biden.

How long till the media come for Devon Archer, Hunter Biden's former best friend and business partner, who testified on Monday that Joe Biden spoke to his son's business partners on speakerphone "over 20 times"?

Then: When news broke in June that Hunter Biden had been given a sweetheart plea deal to wrap up a wide-ranging investigation by the Joe Biden's Justice Department, the media rushed to declare the case closed. Coverage often treated Hunter Biden as a victim of drug addiction and ruthless partisan politics, as the Washington Free Beacon previously reported.

If anything, the charges against Hunter Biden are too harsh, per NBC News experts:

The federal gun charge, which makes it unlawful for a drug addict to possess a weapon, is a rarely used statute that is facing legal challenges and has recently been used as a catch-all charge against white supremacists.

Like the gun charge, the tax charges are rarely brought against first-time offenders and even more rarely result in jail time, Andrew Weissmann, a former FBI general counsel and NBC News contributor, tweeted Tuesday. "This is if anything harsh, not lenient," he wrote. ...

If you think about it, Biden is really a victim of his own brave honesty, CNN suggested:

It is a fascinating thing, though, certainly for Hunter Biden and the candidness of him talking about his substance abuse problems is what ended up causing some issues for him.

Looking ahead, the network predicted a national dialogue about Biden's "personal agonies and struggles with addiction":

Debate over the exact terms of the deal will likely play out until a federal judge finalizes the terms. As will the question of whether Hunter Biden’s conduct caused unnecessary political problems for his father or whether his family circumstances meant that his personal agonies and struggles with addiction played out on a far more public level than would have been the case for many people. ...

Meanwhile, MSNBC wanted to know: "How does Hunter Biden feel?"

"I think Hunter feels happy to move on with his life and his recovery," Biden's lawyer informed viewers. ...

There's just one problem, per ABC News: "It is clear Republicans are not going to drop [their investigations of Biden's corruption] despite the fact that there is nothing in this agreement to substantiate their concerns."

Reported CNN: "Hunter Biden ... is set to play a starring role in the 2024 election as Joe Biden’s political enemies seek to weaponize his son’s legal struggles—those that are real and those that are hyped by conservative media."

On MSNBC, former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D., Mo.) vented: "I don’t know what America [Republicans] live in. And I don’t know how they sleep at night. What do these jerks in the House want Joe Biden to do, throw [Hunter Biden] out, refuse to speak to him, say he doesn’t love him publicly?"

Now: After a series of developments in recent days credibly implicated Joe Biden in his son's scandals, the media pulled a motte and bailey and ditched Hunter Biden to defend the president, aka "the big guy."

To review the news: Archer told the House Oversight Committee under oath on Monday that Joe Biden talked to his son's foreign business partners all the time—rather than "never" as the White House had repeatedly claimed. Last week, a judge refused to "rubber stamp" the plea deal that would have given Hunter Biden sweeping immunity. Before that, two IRS whistleblowers testified that the Justice Department protected Biden from being charged with felonies in the case.

According to the New York TimesCNN, and others, the noteworthy part of Archer's testimony was that he said Biden sold the "illusion" of access to his father. In other words, Biden supposedly tricked his clients into paying him millions of dollars over many years for influence that Joe Biden never delivered as vice president.

On MSNBC, Hunter Biden's business dealings were suddenly agreed to be "obviously unseemly and problematic" "profiteering."

But it was equally obvious, as Politico's Jonathan Lemire put it, that Republicans "are trying to create a scandal when there's no evidence that they have one."

Lemire and the Washington Post's Eugene Robinson excused Joe Biden's involvement by noting that he was grieving during Hunter Biden's influence peddling.

"We know how important family is to the president," said Robinson. "So, do you hang up on your son?"

Meanwhile, the Times reported that Joe Biden's interactions with his son's business partners are old news anyway.

Flashback: The media's standards for proof of presidential wrongdoing haven't always been so demanding.

GLOBALIST BARACK OBAMA AND NANCY PELOSI’S CONSPIRACY TO SABOTAGE HOMELAND SECURITY AND KEEP AMERICA FLOODED WITH DEM VOTING ILLEGALS

https://globalistbarackobama.blogspot.com/2018/12/nancy-pelosi-and-obama-soros-globalist.html

 

"Along with Obama, Pelosi and Schumer are responsible for incalculable damage done to this country over the eight years of that administration." PATRICIA McCARTHY

One of the most disgusting things to come out of the Obama administration was "Operation Fast and Furious," where members of the Department of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) allowed illegal gun sales to go through – commonly referred to as "gun walking" – in order to track buyers and sellers they believed were connected to the Mexican drug cartels. Nearly 2,000 firearms were sold and were eventually found throughout the United States and Mexico. Two of them were used to k ill Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.                                BETH BAUMANN


The Machinery of Government is Coated with Gunk

The juxtaposition of the Department of Justice’s handling of Hunter Biden with its outrageous treatment of Donald J. Trump justifies Scott Adams's view: "We can now see all of the machinery of government, from influence peddling to fake news to intel-supported hoaxes to political persecutions.” Diving even deeper, as have Jonathan Turley, James Freeman, Dan Bongino, and David Samuels, it’s beginning to look as if Barack Obama knew of Hunter’s corruption and the danger it posed to national security and did nothing about it. In exchange, he’s serving a third term as president behind the scrim while the demented present officeholder serves as a front.

Giving Hunter a pass does more than underscore the Administration’s double standard, it explains why the Democrats worked so tirelessly to weaken 2020 election procedures to advance to the highest office a man demonstrably unfit to carry out its duties: They had him on a short rope -- he either ceded the powers of office to Obama or Hunter’s illicit dealings would land both Hunter and him in jail.

The Latest Indictment of Trump

The latest indictment of Trump -- I believe there have been three in the past four months -- is not only clearly political, designed to obstruct his campaign, but it is seriously flawed as a legal matter. Reams have been published on this point, but I think the most complete is that of Will Scharf.  I’ll summarize his key points but urge you to read it all.

The charges depend on Trump’s state of mind and “proving the requisite intent on the part of Trump and his alleged co-conspirators on all of these charges is likely impossible, at least in front of a fair jury in a fair courtroom.” More troubling is that “Jack Smith’s theory of the case necessarily requires criminalizing political speech,” a core protection of the First Amendment. Trump is surely not the first candidate to claim elections were stolen from them: In 1824 Andrew Jackson claimed John Quincy Adams cheated him out of the election. More recently Hillary Clinton and Stacey Abrams, to name but two, made that claim.  “After the 2000, 2004, and 2016 elections Democrats attempted to interfere with the electoral count process” and one can argue that Smith’s theory of the case would make those claims and acts criminal matters. The capper is Smith’s using a statute designed to deal with the Ku Klux Klan -- a statute criminalizing efforts to deprive people of their rights under the Constitution. Recent cases in the Supreme Court make clear that the statute is not violated unless the prosecution proves that Trump and his co-conspirators “acted with specific intent to deprive people of the right to have their votes counted’ (emphasis added).  The count alleging fraudulent conspiracy is no better than the other counts: 

Smith’s theory is that Trump and his alleged co-conspirators conspired to “defeat the lawful federal government function by which the results of the presidential election are collected, counted, and certified by the federal government.” But in light of the requirements for proving fraud conspiracy under § 371, Smith needs to show that Trump and his team knew their theories were groundless when they promoted them to state legislators and other decision-makers in the electoral count process and encouraged those officials to take various official actions. And that Trump and his team agreed this was the plan -- promoting theories they knew were groundless, based on facts that they knew were false, to these legislators and officials.

The fact that Trump received advice to the contrary just doesn’t cut it, from a legal perspective, when it comes to proving a fraud conspiracy under § 371. This charge appears to be dead on arrival from a legal perspective. 

Nor does the Obstruction Count justify the prosecution, for the same inability to prove intent to “obstruct an official proceeding” to benefit himself by means he knew to be unlawful.

Of course, whatever infirmities there are in this case, the most obvious is that the facts in this case were known in 2020, and timing it now while demanding a speedy trial has “all the appearances” of Smith arrogating to himself the right to pick the next president.

A similar but shorter take from Professor Alan Dershowitz, who is skeptical of Trump getting a fair trial in D.C. "The Supreme Court will rule it unconstitutional, because there was no actual speech to defraud an election or interrupt congressional procedure. There are no actions he took. No one is prepared to testify there was. You are allowed to contest an election. You are allowed to doubt the results of the election.”

Others have argued that this case is essentially the rehash of the partisan J6 findings and an impeachment for which he was not convicted, and is therefore barred by the constitutional provision against double jeopardy. Criminal trial lawyers also observe that the nature of the charges permits Trump to seek from every agency of the government potentially exculpatory matters in their files, a process which would very substantially delay matters. (The prosecution has already admitted error when they claimed it has produced certain records to the defense which they had not.) Later last week, further shredding the constitutional rights of the defendant, Smith has asked the judge to order away Trump from disclosing witness testimony he received in discovery -- this after extensive poisoning public opinion and the jury pool with his own pre-indictment comments.


BLOG EDITOR: JUDICIAL WATCH RANKS ERIC HOLDER ONE THE MOST CORRUTP A.G.s IN MODERN AMERICAN HISTORY!

How Much Did the Department of Justice and Obama Know of Biden Corruption?

In March of this year, Paul Sperry detailed how much of the Biden corruption was known to the Department of Justice, evidence in DoJ documents, and federal court records.

Much of the documentation relates to the 2016-2017 raid on the offices of Chi Ping “Patrick” Ho, “a Chinese national suspected of espionage even as he was negotiating business deals with …Hunter and [Joe Biden’s] brother James.” The article provides extensive proof of the breadth of the government’s knowledge of the Biden’s corrupt dealings with corrupt Chinese business partners. The government declined to “tap into this trove of evidence… to explore the connections between Ho and the Bidens who received millions of dollars from Ho and a Chinese intelligence front.” In fact, at Ho’s trial in 2018 they hid Hunter’s connection to Ho. Hunter never registered as required by law as an agent of Ho’s company and neither Biden disclosed the $6 million they received from it. One former government agent stated: 

“It’s strange how there was no curiosity [at Justice] whatsoever about foreign influence on a potential president of the United States, especially from this country’s greatest threat -- China,” Swecker said. 
 
Stranger still is that DOJ prosecutors knew the Bidens’ partner was a dangerous Chinese agent with “powerful” military and political ties, including to the leadership of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. 

Biden Corruption Handed Obama His Third Term as President

As the absurd diversion agreement rejected last week by the Delaware judge shows -- the Department of Justice is still doing everything in its power to bury the story.

I don’t think it’s just because of partisanship. 

Here’s a striking video showing with what great, open disdain Obama regards Joe Biden.

It is an unscripted tell, of what is more fully developed in this amazing interview by David Samuels with Obama’s biographer, David Garrow. This is an interview I consider a must read if you are to have a clue on Barack Obama (And, as well, a lesson on how to conduct a truly outstanding interview). Except for Woodrow Wilson, who was confined here by illness, no other former president besides Obama has maintained a principal  private residence in the capital.

The election of Joe Biden in 2020 gave the Obamas even more reasons to stay in town. The whispers about Biden’s cognitive decline, which began during his bizarre COVID-sheltered basement campaign, were mostly dismissed as partisan attacks on a politician who had always been gaffe-ridden. Yet as President Biden continued to fall off bicycles, misremember basic names and facts, and mix long and increasingly weird passages of Dada-esque nonsense with autobiographical whoppers during his public appearances, it became hard not to wonder how poor the president’s capacities really were and who was actually making decisions in a White House staffed top to bottom with core Obama loyalists. When Obama turned up at the White House, staffers and the press crowded around him, leaving President Biden talking to the drapes -- which is not a metaphor but a real thing that happened.

Seems to me that someone not in “cognitive decline” and not under threat of prosecution for his crimes, and those of his brother and son, might well have resisted ceding power and control to his out-of-office predecessor, and that may best explain why the Democrats finagled election laws so hard to put Biden in the White House, and why the Department of Justice has worked so hard to keep the Biden family corruption concealed and unpunished.

 Judicial Watch’s records request is designed to expose how California state legislators are wasting tax dollars to take care of another corrupt politician – Eric Holder – under the guise of resisting the rule of law on immigration and other matters,” stated Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton.  “His record at the Clinton and Obama Justice Departments demonstrates a willingness to bend the law in order to protect his political patrons.


 “Attorney General Eric Holder's tenure was a low point even within the disgraceful scandal-ridden Obama years.” DANIEL GREENFIELD / FRONTPAGE MAG

 During his presidency, Obama bragged that his administration was “the only thing between [Wall Street] and the pitchforks.”

In fact, Obama handed the robber barons and outright criminals responsible for the 2008–09 financial crisis a multi-trillion-dollar bailout. His administration oversaw the largest redistribution of wealth in history from the bottom to the top one percent, spearheading the attack on the living standards of teachers and autoworkers.

The Republican staff of the US House Committee on Financial Services released a report Monday presenting its findings on why the Obama Justice Department and then-Attorney General Eric Holder chose not to prosecute the British-based HSBC bank for laundering billions of dollars for Mexican and Colombian drug cartels. 

“This was not because of difficulties in securing indictments or convictions. On the contrary, Attorney General Eric Holder told a Senate committee in March of 2013 that the Obama administration chose not to prosecute the big banks or their CEOs because to do so might “have a negative impact on the national economy.”

 

Dirty Cop: Jack Smith has gotten to work with prosecutorial misconduct

You'd think a carefully hand-picked prosecutor, targeted at a former President of the United States, would be a meticulous and precise legal mind so as to bring an airtight case against his target, with little but political objection.

But that's not Joe Biden's special counsel prosecutor, Jack Smith, who's racking up ethics violations like a dirty big city cop, and that's just in the first weeks of his indictment.

According to Breitbart's Joel Pollak:

Harvard Law School professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz says that under his own “fraud” standard, Special Counsel Jack Smith could be indicted for omitting a key portion of then-President Donald Trump’s speech in Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021.

The indictment charges Trump with four counts, including “conspiracy to defraud the United States.” But in a portion recounting Trump’s speech at the “Stop the Steal” rally, Smith repeats the errors made by House Democrats in Trump’s second impeachment trial: he focuses on Trump’s use of the phrase “fight like hell,” and omits a sentence highlighted by Trump’s defense team: “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

Dershowitz told the Megyn Kelly Show podcast on Friday that by his own standard, Smith could be charged with fraud, because of his omission of Trump’s “peaceful” rhetoric.

“Under the indictment itself, Jack Smith could be himself indicted. He told a direct lie in this indictment. He purported to describe the speech that President Trump made on January 6th. And he left out the key words, when President Trump said, ‘I want you to demonstrate peacefully and patriotically. You know, a lie by omission, under the law, can be as serious as a lie by commission.”

 

So he went the Adam Schiff route, leaving off the part about President Trump urging his followers on January 6 to be peaceful, presenting his evidence against Trump by preenting the opposite of what he said. Just leaving it off like it never happened, obviously to sway a jury his way, and too bad about the defendant.

He also did this, according to Matt Margolis at PJMedia:

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team has acknowledged they incorrectly claimed that they had submitted all the necessary evidence as mandated by the law in the classified documents case against Donald Trump.

That’s basically a euphemism for getting caught committing prosecutorial misconduct.

Prosecutors “discovered” that a crucial video intended to be presented as evidence had not been appropriately processed and uploaded to the designated platform for the defense to review during the investigation.

This discovery occurred just as they prepared to indict Carlos De Oliveira, the Mar-a-Lago property manager, for his alleged involvement in a conspiracy with Trump to delete surveillance footage from the estate. Trump denies the allegations and says the videos were “handed over to the thugs.”

“The Government’s representation at the July 18 hearing that all surveillance footage the Government had obtained pre-indictment had been produced was therefore incorrect,” Smith’s team admitted in its recent filing.

According to Just The News, “All CCTV footage obtained by the government has now been given to the defendants, according to Smith’s team. The so-called Brady rule requires prosecutors to disclose all evidence and information favorable to the defendant.”

So in other words, he withheld evidence from the other side which might have been favorable to their defense. The 1963 Brady motion says that as a basic matter of fairness, they can't do that, but Smith did it anyway.

This sounds like quite a pattern of corner-cutting from Smith and his office, characteristic of dirty cops in big cities who will cook up anything for a conviction.

Smith's career has been replete with this kind of unethical behavior, as Margolis noted in his piece, from a case against a congressman which involved witness tampering and wiretapping, to his past case against a Virginia governor, which wat thrown out by the Supreme Court.

Obviously, he's all about pulling fast ones on his latest target, President Trump. This tells us a lot about what this legal process is going to be like: Rules for thee, but not for me.

Why he thinks he can get away with this kind of behavior, and still secure a conviction suggests that he thinks the ground is protecting him and he can rig with abandon because the fix is in.

PIG LAWYERS - A LOOK AT ANOTHER BIDEN

Hunter Biden Remains a ‘Good Standing’ D.C. Bar Member

Breitbart News

Hunter Biden remains a “good standing” member of the D.C. Bar’s association, despite evidence of illicit activities and court proceedings, according to the bar’s website.

During Wednesday’s court proceedings, Hunter Biden told the judge he was licensed to practice law in Washington, DC, and Connecticut.

In February, the D.C. Bar told Breitbart News that Hunter is “not a member of the D.C. Bar.”

The bar’s statement was consistent with the Associated Press’s reporting from 2014 in which it claimed the “Current District of Columbia bar records do not show Biden as member.” However, Hunter’s D.C. Bar license says he was admitted in 2007.

Breitbart News followed up by sending a screenshot of the search query of the D.C. Bar’s website that listed Hunter as a member. The D.C. Bar’s Office of Disciplinary Counsel replied they had searched their records in error and that Hunter was indeed a member of the D.C. Bar.

“I confirmed,” Disciplinary Counsel Phil Fox of the D.C. Bar replied. “He is admitted in D.C.; we just didn’t know his [Hunter Biden] first name was Robert when we looked him up.”

Hunter Biden is also licensed to practice law in Connecticut. As Breitbart News reported in February, Hunter Biden’s law license remains administratively suspended:

Hunter is forbidden from practicing law in Connecticut until he pays the $75 fee assessed to every lawyer in the state and a $75 reinstatement fee, according to Section 2-79 of Connecticut’s Practice Book. A search of Connecticut’s license database reveals Hunter failed to pay the small fee three times in two years.

The database shows Hunter’s license was first administratively suspended on March 16, 2021. The database additionally indicates Hunter was most recently flagged on June 14, 2022, for “failure to pay the Client Security Fund fee in accordance with Practice Book Section 2-70.”

It is unclear why Hunter has not paid the fee. Lawyers can pay the fee online at www.jud.ct.gov.

Hunter’s Connecticut license shows it is registered at an address located at the House of Sweden in Washington, DC, at an office space he used to facilitate a Chinese energy deal with CEFC China Energy Co. In 2017, Hunter earned a $1 million legal retainer from the company’s chairman, Ye Jianming. Hunter also received a large diamond from Ye worth an estimated $80,000 in February 2017.

In March, Republican investigators obtained SARs on Rob Walker, who received a $3 million wire transfer from CEFC China Energy Co. in 2017. In turn, four Biden family members — Hunter, James, Hallie, and an unidentified “Biden” — received a collective $1.3 million cut from the $3 million wire transfer.

Unmasking Obama: The Fight to Tell the True Story of a Failed Presidency Hardcover

by Jack Cashill  (Author)

 

Jack Cashill’s Unmasking Obama By Thomas Lifson 

To my surprise, Jack Cashill's new book, Unmasking Obama, couldn't be more relevant to the political struggle facing us today. In 2020, as in 2008 (and throughout the two Obama presidential terms), the key to political power is what must be called "information warfare" (my term, not Jack's) between the mighty establishment media and the feisty conservative alternative media, which Jack likens to the samizdat underground commentary in the old Soviet Union. It is the process of the unmasking of the phony propaganda peddled by the all-powerful establishment by the resource- and prestige-poor "Lilliputians" (an appropriation of Jonathan Swift's work that the satirist surely would approve of) that is the heart of the book. The narrative history presented in Unmasking Obama is captivating. Jack takes readers along with him as he was both a participant in the warfare and a historian of it, digging up parts of the elusive truth about the real Barack Obama in the face of derision and obstruction that came his way. But Jack is far from the sole hero of the story of the warfare. Because of his literary detective work, proving beyond a reasonable doubt that Bill Ayers wrote the autobiographical book, Dreams from My Father, that first established Obama as a serious intellect, Jack enjoyed access to many of the most formidable truth-tellers about Obama. The book's prologue, in fact, begins with a phone call Jack received in 2011 from a then little-known lawyer named Michael Cohen, acting as a lawyer for Donald Trump. Unmasking Obama takes the reader through the major aspects of the fraudulent picture of Obama that was painted by the media and political establishments and details how the truth was uncovered and often partially suppressed by the retaliatory efforts launched in response. It often resembles detective fiction in the drama of the struggle to get at the truth and the struggle to prevent that. I hesitate to call it beach reading, for it is not in any sense fluff, intended to while away time. But it is vastly entertaining and thought-provoking, and the 218 pages fly by rapidly. Today, exactly the same struggle is underway between the Lilliputians seeking to uncover who really is running the front-man candidacy of Joe Biden and the shadowy movement that is looting and destroying our cities and the coordinated might of the mass media that spends 95% of its time pushing a party line that Trump is an unprecedented threat to human civilization and Joe Biden an amiable and pragmatic centrist. Future historians, if there are any left still interested and able to dispassionately understand how America came to the current point of crisis, will find the story told in Unmasking Obama a very helpful guide. If journalism is the "first draft of history," Unmasking Obama is a well considered second draft, adding crucial perspective and assessment of the consequences of the real-time reports. You don't have to wait that long, though. It went on sale last week, and is well worth your time.

 

BAN LAWYERS, LIKE FELONS, FROM ELECTIVE OFFICE. THERE IS NO CRIMINAL CLASS MORE CONTEMPTUOUS OF LAWS THAN THESE PARASITIC LAWYERS WHO GAME IT TO PUT IT INTO THEIR BOTTOMLESS POCKETS!

There is much more in the Daily Mail article about Obama's destructive arrogance, sense of entitlement, greed, and ego, as well as his obscene rants about Trump. 

JUDICIAL WATCH’S TEN MOST CORRUPT LIST

President Barack Obama: During his presidential campaign, President Obama promised to run an ethical and transparent administration. However, in his first year in office, the President has delivered corruption and secrecy, bringing Chicago-style political corruption to the White House. JUDICIAL WATCH 

 “Attorney General Eric Holder's tenure was a low point even within the disgraceful scandal-ridden Obama years.” DANIEL GREENFIELD / FRONTPAGE MAG

 During his presidency, Obama bragged that his administration was “the only thing between [Wall Street] and the pitchforks.”

In fact, Obama handed the robber barons and outright criminals responsible for the 2008–09 financial crisis a multi-trillion-dollar bailout. His administration oversaw the largest redistribution of wealth in history from the bottom to the top one percent, spearheading the attack on the living standards of teachers and autoworkers.

The Republican staff of the US House Committee on Financial Services released a report Monday presenting its findings on why the Obama Justice Department and then-Attorney General Eric Holder chose not to prosecute the British-based HSBC bank for laundering billions of dollars for Mexican and Colombian drug cartels. 

“This was not because of difficulties in securing indictments or convictions. On the contrary, Attorney General Eric Holder told a Senate committee in March of 2013 that the Obama administration chose not to prosecute the big banks or their CEOs because to do so might “have a negative impact on the national economy.”

 Judicial Watch’s records request is designed to expose how California state legislators are wasting tax dollars to take care of another corrupt politician – Eric Holder – under the guise of resisting the rule of law on immigration and other matters,” stated Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton.  “His record at the Clinton and Obama Justice Departments demonstrates a willingness to bend the law in order to protect his political patrons.

 Elizabeth Warren says she wants to get rid of corruption, but not once have I heard her complain about the massive corruption during the Obama years or at her precious CFPB, so she really doesn't care.  JACK HELLNER

And it all got much, much worse after 2008, when the schemes collapsed and, as Lemann points out, Barack Obama did not aggressively rein in Wall Street as Roosevelt had done, instead restoring the status quo ante even when it meant ignoring a staggering white-collar crime spree. RYAN COOPER

A new book savagely attacks Obama from the left

By Andrea Widburg

Something has changed lately on the left.  Democrats should be riding high now because they control the federal government: they've got the White House; the House; the Senate (sort of, with the filibuster the fragile thread keeping them from total control); and a Supreme Court that, while ostensibly conservative, has a closet leftist chief justice and two remarkably cowed new "conservative" justices.  Nevertheless, they are an angry, fractious party.  Last week, the knives came out for Kamala Harris.  This coming week, a new book launches a scathing attack on that former secular saint, Barack Obama.

Since 2008, Barack Obama has been the Democrat party.  He was the president who could do no wrong.  Every political attack against him was discounted as "racism."  He was more charming, more intelligent, more emotionally attuned, more effective, and more just everything good than any man who had ever occupied the White House, including Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln combined.  (All of them were racists.)

When Trump came along, the Democrats and their media shills weren't merely offended by his politics.  In many ways, the gravest offense was that this loud, combative, conservative-governing orange man dared to step into a White House made hallowed by the presence of a man once hailed as a "magic negro" or another crucified Jesus.

Both Biden and Kamala got reverential treatment, but it was nothing like Obama.  Biden was grandfatherly, experienced, kind, and stable, and he'd learned his White House politics under Obama's aegis.  Kamala was brilliant, multi-racial and multi-cultural, female, and compassionate.  Kamala was sold especially hard because everyone understood that Biden, no matter what he said, wasn't in it for the long haul.  She was obviously going to be the real president, even before Biden inevitably withdrew and she got sworn in.

But as noted, something's been happening with the Democrats.  They should be a jubilant party joyously imposing Marxism on the land, but, instead, they're angry, and they're starting to turn on each other.  Just last week, Edward-Isaac Dovere, a longstanding author at The Atlantic, published a nasty attack on Kamala, although one phrased in polite terms.

Through anecdotes and quotes, Dovere reveals that Kamala is anti-social, socially awkward, bland, ineffective, unfocused, platitudinous, uninteresting, hostile to reporters, paranoid (she has an enemies list), and unable to hold onto her employees.  None of this surprises me.  My decades living and working in the Bay Area meant I'd heard rumors for years saying everything that Kamala offered politically came through her relationship with Willie Brown, a brilliant California politician.  Without Brown, she's nothing.

For The Atlantic, one of the most politically loyal outlets in America, to publish such this attack on someone who should be a Democrat darling was surprising.  More surprises arrived on Friday when the Daily Mail revealed that Edward-Isaac Dovere is back, this time with a new book describing Obama as a "parasite" sucking the Democrat party dry and leaving it with nothing.  Although the book is ostensibly about the 2020 campaign, it's Obama who springs into focus:

Barack Obama was a 'parasite' on the Democrat party who sucked it dry for his reelection and left it saddled with debt, a new book claims.

The former President used the party structure as a 'host' for his 2012 campaign for a second term then treated it like a 'husk' to be discarded with $2.4million in debt.

Obama's aloof demeanor and professorial detachment masked the reality that he was full of 'self-assured self-regard.'

He oversaw the 'pilfering of talent, money, resources, and purpose' away from the Democratic National Committee to his own reelection team.

[snip]

In a scathing portrait, Dovere, a journalist with The Atlantic, claims that Obama was so arrogant he believed that if he could have run in 2016 for a third term he could have beaten Trump.

Obama's ego was on full display on the golf course and he bragged that his Tweet sent after the Charlottesville far right rally in 2017 was liked more than anything Tweeted by Donald Trump.

[snip]

He writes that Obama's hubris peaked in 2015 when the Supreme Court upheld Obamacare, his signature healthcare law, and ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment requires all states to grant same-sex marriages.

[snip]

In actual fact, despite his 'beatification among Democrats', Obama 'inadvertently helped usher in what followed him', meaning Trump.

There is much more in the Daily Mail article about Obama's destructive arrogance, sense of entitlement, greed, and ego, as well as his obscene rants about Trump.  As far as I'm concerned, the damage he did to the Democrat brand is yet more evidence that America supported Trump, not Biden, in 2020.

The book is Battle for the Soul: Inside the Democrats' Campaigns to Defeat Trump, and it may end forever the Democrats' Obama worship.
