Biden’s influence-peddling is consistent with what I wrote in my book, 'Capitol Hills Criminal Underground'
By Richard Lawless
More than three years ago, MedLaw Publishing released my book, “ Capitol Hills Criminal Underground ” in which I, the book's author, describe a long-running “protection racket” being run by then-Vice President Joe Biden, as well as Attorney General Eric Holder and New York Senator, Chuck Schumer.
The moral decay of the US comes in part from the media

When President Obama was elected, he pledged
to remake America. It is a shame he did so
much damage to the fabric of America in eight
short years.
The Obama/Biden was the most corrupt, criminal
administration any of us has ever seen, yet the
media cheered or covered up all the abuse of
power, obstruction of Justice and other crimes.
ISN'T SWALWELL THE ONE CAUGHT IN BED WITH A CHINESE SPY???
Swalwell: ‘Looks Like’ DOJ Moving Towards an Indictment of Donald Trump 1:33
Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “The Last Word” that it looked like the Justice Department was moving towards an indictment of former President Donald Trump.
The panel discussed reports the DOJ asked a federal judge to hold Trump in contempt of court for failing to comply with a subpoena ordering the former president to turn over classified documents.
Swalwell said, “Whatever you are your viewers may think about previous investigations into Donald Trump, and the frustration that has come with those, this team is not screwing around. I think that that reflects the gravity of what it’s at risk here with more documents being potentially in the hands of Donald Trump or his team. They need those documents, and it also looks like they are moving towards an indictment of Donald Trump. He wouldn’t take all of these steps unless you are serious.”
He continued, “Donald Trump is a legal terrorist. He has benefited for decades by delay, delay, delay. This is a tactic that he is used, but the walls are closing in, and as you just pointed out, there is really no right answer here for Donald Trump. His silence is deafening. It is essentially an admission that he still possesses these documents, which gives reason for the DOJ to proceed with this case.”
Swalwell added, “We are approaching a legal crescendo for Donald Trump that he has not seen in the years that he’s been in the courts.”

Biden’s influence-peddling is consistent with what I wrote in my book, 'Capitol Hills Criminal Underground'
By Richard Lawless
More than three years ago, MedLaw Publishing released my book, “ Capitol Hills Criminal Underground ” in which I, the book's author, describe a long-running “protection racket” being run by then-Vice President Joe Biden, as well as Attorney General Eric Holder and New York Senator, Chuck Schumer.
The three amigos effectively arranged to have all Wall Street criminal cases directed to the lefty-friendly Southern District of New York, and for the right “payments” the cases would be closed. Money would then go into PACs controlled by Schumer and distributed to all those involved. In return for those payments, there would be no investigations, no prosecutions and no regulatory action. As author, I tracked over $110,000,000 in payments to politicians.
The CIA tracked some of the money-laundering related to the theft by these Wall Street companies and was able to track back the payments to senior DOJ officials and senior politicians like Vice President Joe Biden.
I, and a senior CIA officer, offered this evidence to both FBI Director James Comey and DoJ Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz. They both declined to respond. I filed criminal complaints with the FBI and was told by field agents that senior leadership at the DOJ would not allow anyone to work the criminal complaints.
I want to encourage all Americans to read my book, "Capitol Hill's Criminal Underground" and decide for themselves.
Where were the whistleblowers at the Justice department in 2008, calling out this pure abuse of power by Obama? Where were the congressional hearings and articles of impeachment? From Politico in 2017 :
In its determination to secure a nuclear deal with Iran, the Obama administration derailed an ambitious law enforcement campaign targeting drug trafficking by the Iranian-backed terrorist group Hezbollah, even as it was funneling cocaine into the United States, according to a POLITICO investigation.
The campaign, dubbed Project Cassandra, was launched in 2008 after the Drug Enforcement Administration amassed evidence that Hezbollah had transformed itself from a Middle East-focused military and political organization into an international crime syndicate that some investigators believed was collecting $1 billion a year from drug and weapons trafficking, money laundering and other criminal activities.
The media and other Democrats claim they care about all deaths from drugs, so why don’t they care about all the deaths from terrorism and drug overdoses because of Obama’s actions?
The Justice department, the media, and the politicians of both parties go after pharmaceutical companies for their contribution to the drug crisis, so why didn’t they go after Obama -- and China, the terrorists and Iran, for their major contribution to the problem?
This is what is going on now in San Francisco
According to the Associated Press , 621 people have died in San Francisco of drug overdoses thus far this year, a staggering number that equates to nearly two deaths per day.
On the other hand, just 173 San Fransisco residents have died of COVID-19.
It is an absolute joke to watch Biden and the media claim that the new administration will not interfere at the Justice department when they know how the Obama/Biden administration completely politicized the Justice department throughout their eight years.
When they say that no one is above the law and there will be equal treatment under the law, they are plainly lying.
They not only let terrorists off scot free, IRS bureaucrats who targeted Obama opponents, obstructed justice, destroyed computers and lied to Congress were also above the law.
Hillary Clinton, her aides, and officials throughout government, including Obama, could violate the nation's security laws, could destroy computers, hide documents, and repeatedly lie and they were above the law.
The Justice department could shake down corporations, establish a slush fund, and give kickbacks to political supporters such as ACORN or whatever they call themselves now, and few cared.
Eric Holder, James Clapper, James Comey, John Brennan, Andrew McCabe and others could repeatedly lie to Congress and/or the FBI and they were all above the law.
Bureaucrats could use a fake dossier from a foreign source, paid for by the DNC and Hillary campaign, and lie to the FISA court as they targeted Trump and his supporters, and they, too, were above the law.
Bureaucrats within the Obama/Biden Administration illegally spied on thousands of Americans throughout their eight years in office and they were all above the law. Remember this ?
Newly declassified memos detail extent of improper Obama-era NSA spying The Obama/Biden Justice department refused to enforce immigration laws. Politicians and bureaucrats in sanctuary cities and states were above the law. The Clinton and Biden families were allowed to use their powerful government positions to solicit massive kickbacks for themselves and their families from foreign sources, and they were and are above the law. Democrats not only didn’t care about the kickbacks, they impeached Trump for wanting an investigation into the Biden corruption. While members of the Obama/Biden crime syndicate could violate as many laws as they liked, they were also targeting innocent people like Gen. Michael Flynn and energy expert Carter Page for destruction. It is no wonder there is so much corruption and criminal activity among politicians and bureaucrats thrives throughout the United States when the press is coopted, asleep, or just don’t care. They frequently bury the stories and actively campaign for the corrupt criminals. It is sad that they support putting corrupt criminals in the White House. They support anyone who seeks to make the government run by leftists more powerful. Meanwhile, they will seek to destroy anyone who wants to give the power, purse, and freedom back to the people as fast as possible. They don’t care about how many fake stories, such as Russian collusion, they have to peddle in their efforts to defeat political opponents. Evidence and the truth are not important. Anonymous sources are treated as evidence. Only victory for leftists matters and that truly makes the media an existential threat to our survival as a great country.

“ 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. ”
Congress Can Make Special Prosecutors Actually Responsible For Justice
28 Code of Federal Regulations § 600.1 Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel.
The Attorney General, or in cases in which the Attorney General is recused, the Acting Attorney General, will appoint a Special Counsel when he or she determines that criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted and -
(a) That investigation or prosecution of that person or matter by a United States Attorney’s Office or litigating Division of the Department of Justice would present a conflict of interest for the Department or other extraordinary circumstances; and
(b) That under the circumstances, it would be in the public interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel to assume responsibility for the matter. (Emphasis added)
I thought it was a good idea for you to see the actual law under which Special Counsels are appointed. The reason for such a counsel is, surprisingly, very simple and very logical: If the ordinary attorneys in the Department of Justice may be seen as partisan or if there’s a special public interest in a case, then the Attorney General is allowed to appoint a special attorney to take over the investigation and prosecution. Also important is the basic fact that the AG already had the authority to do this at any time without the statute simply by creating a compartmentalized investigatory group. The law doesn’t create any new powers!
Recently we’ve seen John Durham pursue small players in the RussiaGate conspiracy, without notable success. Moving back a couple of years, the Mueller investigation, even though it was strung out by Clintonistas, ended up without any prosecution of Trump because no damning evidence could be found. And now we have two key special prosecutors.
Image: Merrick Garland . YouTube screen grab.
The first is Jack Smith, the special counsel whom Democrat Attorney General Sauron Garland appointed to oversee the investigation of Mar-a-Lago raid materials and Trump’s January 6 conduct. Republicans clearly see Smith in a bad light. Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, described him as a “partisan” and “not a good actor” who will politicize the inquiry.
The other special counsel is the one that Darth Garland has steadfastly refused to consider for the Hunter Biden inquiry. It is hard to imagine a case with higher public interest and more obvious conflicts of interest than that. But it remains on hold somewhere in the bowels of a nondescript building with government drones periodically shuffling paper.
And Darth Garland is not alone. AG Bilious Barr declined to appoint one when the laptop story appeared in the New York Post. It was a no-brainer. Hunter’s father was the President’s opponent in the election. The appearance of bias from holding this investigation inside the FBI was far more than a mirage. That light was an oncoming train. Failure to appoint a special counsel was functionally an act of rebellion against the President.
Both cases point out a key flaw in the Special Counsel statute. Such a counsel is appointed at the AG’s sole discretion. When AG Eric Holder was referred for prosecution for Contempt of Congress, he ignored the referral. No surprise. He’d have to prosecute himself.
More tellingly, Holder didn’t appoint a Special Counsel because he didn’t think it was important. Not only was he allowed to appoint Special Counsels, but he was also allowed to not appoint a Counsel. This means that Congressional referrals for prosecution are reserved for witnesses who decline to participate in the Demoncrats illegitimate kangaroo courts.
Such a clearly biased system cries out for correction. And while we cannot drain the swamp in one fell swoop, a simple adjustment might make things a bit better. At the moment, it won’t affect the Hunter Biden non-investigation but, at least for Congress, it’s a step in the right direction.
Imagine if the next Congressional prosecution referral came with some attachments. That is, whether the House or Senate makes the referral, the House then suspends all other business while nominating a Special Counsel to deal with that referral. The nomination then gets passed over to the Senate for confirmation. The Senate then sets all other business aside until the SC is confirmed and becomes a compartmentalized part of the DOJ.
OMG! We’re unleashing lawyers against anyone Congress dislikes! Sort of. Actually, the “nomination and confirmation” process is likely to select a prosecutor who is not part of the establishment. He/she might find that the referral is defective by not even properly specifying a criminal act. At that point, a brief public report would be issued, the case would be closed, and everyone goes home to dinner. But let’s suppose that Congress actually alleges a criminal offense.
In that case, the SC would do what any good prosecutor does: Investigate! He and his team would review evidence. He might convene a grand jury. And there are two basic possible outcomes. If there’s a real case, prosecution would likely proceed. If not, the SC must create a report to Congress, a summary of which would necessarily be made public. The full report would come back to the referring body, and those legislators would decide its disposition.
One would argue that this might implicate the Separation of Powers in the Constitution, but I don’t think that’s likely. First, the Supreme Court’s decision in Morrison v. Olson
Firing a congressionally installed SC would be considered a grave political act, and the fallout would likely be severe. Congress would probably exact revenge on a President who did it. It’s likely that’s why Trump didn’t do it. Congress might defund pet projects. Or it might even impeach. But those are the proper political responses to a political act. Congress’s original actions are proper responses to likely criminal acts, and no AG would treat them lightly. A bit of accountability is likely to follow.
Sure would be nice.
