Kash Patel, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for FBI director, has released a list of 60 “deep state” adversaries he plans to target immediately when he begins his role next year.

The list, which includes President Joe Biden and network analysts, is detailed in his 2022 book Government Gangsters.

In the book’s appendix, titled “Members of the Executive Branch Deep State,” Patel lists those names alphabetically but acknowledges that the list is not exhaustive.

Patel said other “corrupt actors” could include Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), Senator-elect Adam Schiff (D-CA), ex-congressman Paul Ryan, author of the Trump-Russia Steele Dossier Christopher Steele.

Patel also reassures the public he will be going after “the entire fake news mafia press corp.”

Earlier this month, Patel announced the “massive declassification” of troves of information ranging from the Jeffrey Epstein files to the “P Diddy” list.

Patel told Conservative podcast host Benny Johnson that releasing documents that implicate the Department of Justice and FBI for their illegal surveillance of over 250,000 Americans.

Convicted felon Donald Trump gets brutal election news as a group of former and current Justice Department officials enthusiastically endorse Kamala Harris for president because the "stakes could not be higher."

And it gets even better...

"The fabric of the nation, the rule of law and the future of the Democracy are at stake in this election," the over 40 officials wrote in their endorsement letter.

The signatures are from men and women who have served under presidents from both parties including former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, former deputy attorneys general Sally Yates, David Ogden, and Jamie Gorelick.

"The stakes could not be higher. Former President Trump presents a grave risk to our country, our global alliances, and the future of democracy," they write.

They correctly state that Trump "regularly ignored the rule of law" when he was president, slamming the "unconstitutional Muslim travel ban" and his attempt "to stay in power by defying election results and the will of the American people."

They add that Harris is "the best choice to defeat Donald Trump and lead the nation. As attorney general of California, she "oversaw the largest state justice department in the country. She forged strong relationships with law enforcement to keep people safe, fought for American consumers and fought against those preying on the American people."

"We all have had the honor of serving as United States Attorneys, in other leadership roles at the United States Department of Justice and as civic leaders," the letter adds. "We love our country and believe in its infinite possibilities. But this takes work. We urge all Americans to join us in supporting Vice President Harris for President of the United States."

These Justice Department employees firmly believe that Harris, a former prosecutor, will uphold the law in ways that Trump clearly will not. They couldn't be more right.

More Classified Docs Found for Biden

LOS ANGELES (OnlineColumnist.com), Jan. 12, 2023.--Atty. Gen. Merrick Garland, 70, announced today that he was appointing Special Counsel Robert Hur, a Trump-appointed U.S. Attorney in Maryland, to investigate 80-year-old President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents after leaving as Vice President Jan. 20, 2017.  Biden called 76-year-old former President Donald Trump “irresponsible” for housing classified docs at his Palm Beach Mar-a-Lago estate, piling on with the rest of the U.S. press against the former president.  Biden applauded Atty. Gen. Merrick Garlands decision to have the FBI raid Trump’s estate to remove any classified docs, returning them under the Presidential Records Act to the National Archives.  Garland’s decision to appoint another Special Counsel was a response to cover the Department of Justice from potential GOP investigations into corruption and partisan treatment in vaunted government agencies.

When you look at the big picture, Democrats and the press looked for anything to end Trump’s political career, hoping, beyond anything else, to prevent him from running for president in 2024.  Finding classified docs at Mar-a-Lago, Democrats and the press thought they had an open-and-shut case to charge Trump with violating any number of U.S. laws related to handling classified information, including the Presidential Records Act and Espionage Act. All of a sudden, Biden’s lawyers have uncovered sensitive docs found and Biden’s former Univ. of Pennsylvania offices but, more recently, in the garage of his Wilmington, DE. home and personal library.  Where else Biden’s attorneys find more classified documents is anyone’s guess.  Biden denies knowing anything about the whereabouts of classified documents from his time serving as former President Barack Obama’s Vice President.

Instead of wasting more DOJ time on complete nonsense, Garland should not appoint a new Special Counsel to investigate old inconsequential classified docs collecting dust in Biden’s garage of anywhere else. Garland should withdraw Jack Smith as Legal Counsel looking into Trump’s classified docs found at Mar-a-Lago and end the complete waste of DOJ time and energy.  No one cares about the small number of useless classified docs found in Trump or Biden’s archives.  When it came to Trump, Garland must deal with the “deep state” political operatives in the DOJ that would used a respected government agency for political purposes, like harassing Trump.  Garland’s No. 2 Deputy Atty. Gen. Lisa Monaco has a personal vendetta with Trump and pushed the Attorney General to appoint Jack Smith as Special Counsel.  Garland should immediately remove Jack Smith.

Appointing Robert Hur to investigate Biden’s mishandling of classified docs accomplishes nothing other than giving the DOJ political cover before House Republicans investigate egregious political abuses at the DOJ, FBI, CIA and National Security Agency [NSA] during Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and his four years in office. Can you imagine,  62-year-old former FBI Director James Comey launched, with fomer Atty. Gen. Loretta Lynch’s approval, a counterintelligence investigation into a Republican presidential nominee?  If Lynch approved the FBI investigation of Trump, it reasonable to think that former President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden approved the investigation as well.  So when Garland appoints a Special Counsel for Bidenl, it only for the purpose of proving how even-handed he’s administering U.S. justice at the DOJ.

Wasting DOJ resources is not how to deal with investigations of Trump’s handling of classified docs.  Now that it’s known that Biden also mishandled classified docs, Garland should not waste more DOJ time appointing Robert Hur as Special Counsel to look into Biden’s mishandling of classified docs.  He should appoint a Special Counsel to look into corruption at the DOJ.  No one other than political hacks looking to retaliate against Trump and Biden cares about improper handling of classified docs.  Garland needs to have the professionalism to recognize that egregious abuses have taken place at the DOJ, FBI, CIA and NSA, abusing the agencies by political operatives.  Appointing Hur Speical Counsel accomplishes nothing to deal with past abuses of power.  Biden says he’s “cooperating fully and completely” with the DOJ, but that doesn’t rectify current or past abuses at the agency.

Garland isn’t facing undeniable current and past abuses at the DOJ, FBI, CIA and NSA.  When Garland decided to order the FBI to raid Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, he must be held accountable for letting Deputy Atty. Gen. Lisa Monaco, an Obama deep state operative, to call the shots.  Whatever Garland thought he could do to advance a Democrat agenda to prevent Trump from running in 2024, he must acknowledge the Mar-a-Lago raid was inappropriate, politically motivated and a product of extreme partisanship in the DOJ.  Appointing as Special Counsel to look into current and past DOJ corruption would be a start in the right direction. Garland has done nothing for equal justice under the law, only obscuring systemic corruption at the Department of Justice.  Political operatives like Lisa Monaco must be removed their positions, not continue the charade of investigating Biden’s classified docs.

An Urgent Call for Justice: Addressing Corruption, Defamation, and Threats to Safety

By Enzo Vincenzi

Corruption, defamation, and threats to safety have no borders. The devastating impacts of these crimes are far-reaching and undermine justice, eroding the foundations of lawful governance and human rights. In my own experience, systemic corruption in both the United States and Costa Rica has not only disrupted my life but has also exposed troubling patterns of misconduct involving public officials, law enforcement agencies, and international representatives.

This article details the injustices I have endured and underscores the need for swift action to uphold justice and restore integrity to our institutions.

Systemic Corruption in the United States

My ordeal began in Lee County, Florida, where I faced an orchestrated campaign of corruption and harassment. Key individuals involved include Sheriff Carmine Marcino, former Sheriff Mike Scott, and an unlawful immigrant named Miriam Pacheco. These parties participated in organized fraud, drug trafficking, and even a conspiracy to commit murder. Despite public exposure of these crimes, including documented solicitation of murder-for-hire (Case No. #53–35825) reported in The Naples Daily News, justice remains elusive due to the complicity of high-ranking officials like former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former FBI Director James Comey.

My false arrest photo, unlawfully publicized by Sheriff Carmine Marcino, has had devastating consequences. The fabricated charges of obstruction of justice and resisting arrest have destroyed my reputation, severely limiting my professional opportunities. This defamatory action represents a blatant abuse of power and highlights a systemic failure to protect the rights of innocent citizens.

Escalating Threats in Costa Rica

Seeking refuge from corruption in the United States, I relocated to Costa Rica with hopes of rebuilding my life and business. Unfortunately, the misconduct followed me. Despite my repeated appeals for protection and assistance, I faced obstruction from U.S. Ambassador Cynthia A. Telles and her staff at the U.S. Embassy in Costa Rica. Their dismissive and negligent handling of my case exacerbated my vulnerability, leaving me exposed to threats and harassment.

Local officials and attorneys in Costa Rica, including Richard Seaton, Carly Huba, and James Huba, have targeted me with fabricated criminal charges and defamatory campaigns. These coordinated attacks are part of a broader scheme to seize my hotel business and property. This conspiracy has not only harmed me personally but has also jeopardized the investments of U.S. citizens who trusted Costa Rica’s legal system.

The Human Cost of Corruption

The ramifications of this corruption extend beyond individual cases. In Costa Rica, greed-fueled corruption has contributed to an alarming rise in crime, including organized murder and fraud. Public officials and attorneys, driven by avarice, have exploited the legal system to rob citizens and investors of their rightful properties. As widely reported in the media, these crimes have escalated the country’s murder rate and endangered countless lives.

Evidence from surveillance footage and public records reveals a disturbing pattern of cover-ups, conspiracies, and violent crimes. The involvement of minors in contract killings highlights a shocking disregard for human life and the rule of law. These atrocities must be met with decisive action to restore justice and protect innocent citizens.

A Demand for Accountability

To address these injustices, it is imperative to hold all responsible parties accountable. The evidence I have presented includes court cases, police records, and witness testimony, all of which document the corruption and misconduct I have faced. My appeals to authorities, including Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chaves and Judicial Investigation Office (OIJ) Director Randall Zúñiga, emphasize the urgent need for justice.

Key figures such as Sheriff Carmine Marcino and Ambassador Cynthia A. Telles must answer for their roles in perpetuating these crimes. The documented misconduct of these officials, including defamation, obstruction of justice, and conspiracy, represents a gross violation of ethical and legal standards. The integrity of our institutions depends on holding these individuals accountable.

Evidence and Appeals for Justice

On September 14, 2024, I submitted a comprehensive criminal complaint to multiple authorities, including President Rodrigo Chaves and OIJ Director Randall Zúñiga. This complaint contains:

Five Costa Rican court cases with supporting documentation.

Public records from the Costa Rica Supreme Court, Jaco Court, and Jaco Police Department.

Witness testimonies attesting to the hate crimes and conspiracies against me.

Despite the overwhelming evidence, justice remains elusive due to obstruction and negligence by officials such as Fiscal Eduardo Mora Casconte. These failures have emboldened corrupt parties to continue their schemes, jeopardizing the safety and investments of countless individuals.

On September 6, 2024, I also submitted a formal complaint to the Costa Rica College of Attorneys, detailing the roles of Francisco Eiter Cruz Marchena and Carlos Villegas Méndez in facilitating fraud and conspiracy. This complaint was forwarded to U.S. Secretary of State Anthony J. Blinken and the FBI to ensure transparency and accountability.

Unlawful Watch List Placement and Defamation

In addition to facing threats abroad, I have been unlawfully placed on a U.S. Department of Homeland Security watch list. This flagging, based on falsified information from Sheriff Carmine Marcino, violates my constitutional rights, including the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection and the 4th Amendment’s protection against unreasonable searches and seizures.

A TSA officer confirmed that fraudulent charges of obstruction and domestic violence, filed by Miriam Pacheco and supported by Sheriff Marcino, remain in their database despite being dismissed. This defamatory labeling not only restricts my freedom to travel but also places my safety at risk by portraying me as a threat to law enforcement.

Legal Demands and Call to Action

I am calling for immediate action to rectify these injustices:

Thorough Investigation: A comprehensive investigation into the actions of Sheriff Carmine Marcino and other complicit officials.

Record Corrections: Removal of all false and defamatory information from public and government records.

Protection of Rights: Upholding my constitutional rights and ensuring fair treatment under the law.

Public Disclosure: Transparency in disclosing defamatory statements and clearing my name.

Additionally, I urge authorities to investigate and prosecute those involved in corruption and conspiracy, both in the United States and Costa Rica. The safety of U.S. citizens and the integrity of international investments depend on our collective commitment to justice.

Conclusion

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” The corruption and defamation I have faced threaten not only my personal safety but also the principles of fairness and integrity that define our societies. I appeal to President Donald J. Trump, President Rodrigo Chaves, and all relevant authorities to take decisive action. Justice must prevail to protect future generations and uphold the rule of law.

May this call for justice serve as a testament to resilience, truth, and accountability in the face of adversity.

God Bless the United States of America and Costa Rica.

DONALD SULLIVAN RPH, PHD., vs. GERALD R. KILEY: THE SUBTERFUGE

THE CONGRESS MUST INVESTIGATE AND DEFUND THE UNITED STATES DRUG ENFORCEMENT AGENCY (DEA) VICE NEWS AUGUST 11, 2020 MANISHA KRISHNAN According to sociology professor Alex S. Vitale is unambiguous in his assessment of the Drug Enforcement Administration and its stated mission of reducing drug trafficking in the United States: “They have been a 100 percent failure by any measure you can think of.” Vitale, coordinator of the Policing and Social Justice Project at Brooklyn College and the author of The End of Policing, said the DEA hasn’t saved any lives, nor has it made drugs less available. (8) THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION (AMA) JUNE 16, 2020, “The nation no longer has a prescription opioid-driven epidemic. However, we are now facing an unprecedented, multi-factorial, and much more dangerous overdose and the drug epidemic is driven by heroin and illicitly manufactured fentanyl, fentanyl analogs, and stimulants. We can no longer afford to view increasing drug-related mortality through a prescription opioid-myopic lens. This is why the AMA continues its aggressive advocacy efforts in support of patients with pain and those with a substance use disorder as well as broad support for harm reduction policies and practices that address the wide range of factors affecting patients. “ DONALD SULLIVAN RPH., PHD., AND THE FOLSON AMICUS BRIEF “STORY BEHIND THE ECONOMIC LYNCHING OF BLACK OWNED PHARMACY BUSINESSES BY THE DRUG ENFORCEMENT AGENCY (DEA) IN AMERICA HOW THIS DANGEROUS DECISION BASED UPON BIAS EFFECTS ALL HEALTHCARE (ESPECIALLY BLACK PROFESSIONALS IN AMERICA)“ by Jack Folson MAY 5, 2020 DEA destroyed the data in the Pronto Pharmacy computer these codes, which are no more than 6 characters spread out over 3 different fields cannot be presented. The malfeasance of the DEA could be considered contributory negligence in this case. Other places that such documentation could be found are on the front or back of the original prescriptions. Not to mention the electronic patient profiles, all of which were available to the DEA but not presented at trial. ABC NEWS JUNE 18, 2020 BY JUSTIN MUSTAIN The DEA was first held liable in the early 1980s for discriminating against black agents in salary, promotions, supervisory evaluations and discipline. Last year, a federal judge in Washington ruled the DEA had run afoul of court orders intended to remove the subjectivity from the agency’s promotion process. U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan reiterated that the agency owes damages to black agents whose careers were affected by what he called an “unlawful selection device.” Attorneys for the black agents said they are still trying to determine how much money the DEA owes their clients. The DEA also could owe as much as $12 million in attorneys’ fees. A half dozen retired black agents told AP that the “good ol’ boy” mentality is so entrenched at the DEA that it persisted even under black attorneys general Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch. They recalled colleagues who faced retaliation and exile for speaking out and said the agency’s failure to diversify has hampered its ability to build trust. (9) (10) NEW YORK TIMES SEPTEMBER 17, 2018 According to Professor Leo Beletsky and Jeremiah Goulka, ” It is more than clear Congress must take actions to reform or disband The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). DEA has had over 40 years to win the war on drugs. Instead, its tactics have fueled the opioid crisis. To finally make a dent in this national emergency, we need to rethink the agency from the bottom up.” “Parts of the D.E.A.’s law enforcement mandate should be transferred to the F.B.I., delegated back to the local or state, or eliminated. A significant portion of the D.E.A.’s budget should be reinvested in lifesaving measures like access to high-quality treatment.” According to Professor Leo Beletsky and Jeremiah Goulka. (11)

'Selling Out': Elise Stefanik Slams Obama AG for Representing Chinese Military Firm in Pentagon Lawsuit

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.) slammed Obama-appointed attorney general Loretta Lynch for "selling out" to the Chinese Communist Party by representing a U.S.-designated Chinese military firm in its lawsuit against the Pentagon.

Shenzhen DJI Technology Company (DJI), a Chinese drone manufacturer, is suing the Pentagon over its 2022 decision to add DJI to its blacklist of "Military Companies Operating in the United States," which are considered potential national security threats. In its lawsuit, DJI—which is one of the largest producers of drones in the world—alleged that the Chinese military label has negatively impacted its business and "violates the law and DJI’s due-process rights."

Stefanik said that Lynch "has turned her back on her nation, selling out to our greatest adversary Communist China and suing the United States on behalf of CCP-owned drone company DJI."

"Not only is her lawsuit full of factual errors, it is also an obvious effort by DJI to distract from CBP’s recent halting of DJI imports due to Uyghur slave labor concerns and a futile attempt to disrupt the momentum behind my unanimously passed Countering CCP Drones Act," the New York representative told National Review.

*** I have 3 DJI drones.. Not thrilled about this whole thing.

[ad_1] The NFL has responded to the lawsuit filed in September by former NFL Media reporter Jim Trotter.In a four-page letter sent Friday to U.S. District Court Judge Paul Crotty, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch explains that the NFL intends to file a motion to dismiss Trotter's case. The letter also provides a glimpse into the league's overall position regarding the termination of Trotter's employment."In March 2020, after an initial two-year contract, the NFL renewed Plaintiff’s contract for another three years," Lynch writes. "In March 2023, Plaintiff’s contract expired and, as part of a broader cost-cutting measure and strategic shift away from traditional broadcast journalism and towards interactive media, the NFL made the decision not to renew the contracts of several reporters, including Plaintiff. That reasoning was communicated to Plaintiff and is well documented."Whether the league has indeed shifted "away from traditional broadcast journalist and toward interactive media" (whatever that means) is irrelevant for now. However, it sheds light on how the league will try to defend the case.Trotter claims the decision was motivated in whole or in part by discrimination and retaliation, under federal, state, and local law.Lynch contends that Trotter's complaint is "fatally deficient" on its face. She writes that Trotter "does not plausibly allege that he engaged in any protected activity supporting" a claim for retaliation."Plaintiff does not allege that he complained, including through his reporting, about any such [discriminatory] practice by the NFL," she explains. "His generalized allegations — that he questioned what he viewed as a 'lack of diversity' and was 'skeptical' of the NFL’s initiatives to promote diversity — do not suffice."She downplays Trotter's questioning of the Commissioner at a February 2023 press conference regarding persistent lack of diversity in the newsroom at NFL Media by stating Trotter "concedes that he posed the exact same questions to the Commissioner at a prior conference — and remained employed for more than a year afterward."Of course, his contract did not expire for more than a year afterward.The letter also attacks in broad terms Trotter's discrimination claim, and it contends that he cannot state claims under New York State or New York City law, because he was a California resident working in California. (California law undoubtedly affords equal, if not greater, employment protections than New York law.)She concludes by explaining that the NFL intends to seek a stay of the discovery process pending resolution of its motion to dismiss. Which means that they don't want to give up any documents or make any witnesses available for questioning under oath until a decision is made on the motion to dismiss.Attorney Doug Wigdor, who represents Trotter in the case, issued this comment: "We are very confident any motion to dismiss will be unsuccessful and is simply an attempt to delay which is why they are also requesting a stay of discovery."The NFL's initial position is not surprising. This is how matters of this nature unfold. The defendant attempts at every turn to short circuit the case, hopeful that eventually a trial will be avoided.Notably absent from Lynch's letter is any reference whatsoever to an attempt to force the case into NFL-controlled arbitration. Trotter's contract contained no such clause preventing him from seeking relief in open court.Thus, regardless of how the case plays out, it will happen in a public forum and not in the NFL's preferred venue — the secret, rigged, kangaroo court into which most of the legal claims against the league are resolved.

OBAMA NOMINATES LORETTA LYNCH AS ATTORNEY GENERAL

[darkmaga-returns]

Loretta Lynch, former Attorney General under Barack Obama, joins other ex-U.S. government officials in being paid for allegedly betraying American interests. Lynch collaborates with DJI, China's largest drone manufacturer known for producing weaponized drones for the CCP. Similarly, Chevron profits heavily by continuing oil production for Venezuelan dictator Nicholas Maduro, despite the controversy following Venezuela's disputed election.

Hey, remember when the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation formally announced back in 2016 that Hillary Clinton’s conduct did not amount to a crime and that there were no reasonable grounds to charge her with anything?

Remember how the Democrats and President Obama screamed (falsely) that Secretary Clinton had been totally exonerated?

And insisted (falsely) that Clinton had never done anything wrong whatsoever, and that there had never been any reasonable uncertainty or potential evidence against her, and that it was all just a giant “witch hunt”?

And castigated everyone who had investigated Clinton, and everyone who had supported the investigation, and everyone who had reported on the investigation in any way that reflected negatively on Clinton, and every Republican in the entire country?

And accused all of them of a massive conspiracy against Clinton, of knowingly lying and defrauding the American people, and of committing treason?

And demanded that everyone who ever thought there had been any reason to investigate Clinton should themselves be investigated and then jailed?

And remember how Republicans, in contrast, nodded politely and accepted the conclusion of the U.S. Intelligence Community and the DoJ?

And never suggested there was anything wrong, less than truthful, biased, or corrupt about the investigation or the people who conducted it?

And never sought any additional investigations into either Clinton or those who decided there were no grounds to charge her with anything?

And never threatened to continue investigating Clinton for years to come even if she were president?

And never accused the Clintons, the FBI, the Justice Department, and the entire Obama administration of a massive “deep state” conspiracy and coverup?

And that was the end of it?

Atty. Gen. Garland Lacks Common Sense

LOS ANGELES (OnlineColumnist.com), Jan. 13, 2023.--Atty. Gen. Merrick Garland, 70, embarrassed himself and the White House appointing a Special Counsel to see whether 80-year-old President Joe Biden mishandled classified docs from his time as former President Barack Obama’s Vice President.  Recently found classified docs in Biden’s former office at the U of Penn. Biden Center then another batch of classified docs in his Wilmington. De. garage raise questions similar to 76-year-old former President Donald Trump but Garland clearly jumped the gun.  No Special Counsel is needed to determine whether Biden mishandled classified docs from his time as Vice President.  Garland would be far better off appointing a Special Counsel to investigate corruption at the Department of Justice, FBI, CIA and National Security Agency [NSA], all conspired a covert effort to discredit Trump’s 2016 campaign and presidency.

Facts related to Biden’s classified docs found in at least three locations, including the U of Penn. office, Wilmington home garage and his personal library, don’t need a Special Counsel.  Garland needs a Special Counsel to investigate whether the DOJ, FBI, CIA and NSA conspired to investigate Trump to interfere with his 2016 campaign and presidency.  Surely, Garland knows the logic behind ordering the FBI to raid Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate but was never able to explain himself.  In some ways, ordering a Special Counsel is outrageous, all because he wants to show even-handedness with Trump.  But Garland isn’t admitting that the raid on Mar-a-Lago was orchestrated by 54-year-old former Obama holdout Deputy Atty. Gen. Lisa Monaco, someone who authorized the FBI’s 2016 counterintelligence investigation of Trump’s alleged Russian connections.

Garland should resign as Attorney General knowing that there’s no basis for appointing a Special Counsel to investigate Biden’s alleged mishandling of classified docs.  Whether Biden held classified docs since 2017 or not, Garland showed bad judgment or let Lisa Monaco call the shots.  When it comes to Trump, Garland knows that the DOJ, FBI, CIA and NSA abused its power, weaponized its Article 2 authority to persecute the former president.  Classified docs found in Biden’s personal custody pale in comparison to the inappropriate business dealings with his 52-year-old son Hunter and bother Jim for the years while Obama’s Vice President [2009-2017] and the years before he ran for president in 2019.  House Republicans, led by 58-year-old Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio, are starting to look into “Biden Inc,” the family business used to rake in millions overseas.

Everyone in Washington knows the egregious partisanship and bias against Trump, both in the media and with elected officials. Whether or not Jordan can ever shed light on the Russian hoax, he can still show a corrupt DOJ, willing to use the nation’s most powerful law enforcement and intel agencies to go after Trump for purely political purposes.  Conspiracies inside the upper echelon of the FBI showed that former Agent Peter Strzok and former FBI Atty. Lisa Page actively conspired inside the FBI to sabotage Trump’s 2016 campaign.  Comey’s counterintelligence investigation of Trump started when former CIA Director John Brennan turned over former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s opposition research AKA the Steele dossier to Comey in the summer of 2016.  Whether admitted to or not, Obama and Biden authorized former Atty. Gen. Loretta Lynch to investigate Trump.

Garland, a former Chief Justice of D.C.’s Second Court of Appeals, knew little about leading the Justice Department, relying heavily on Lisa Monaco.  Monaco organized the Aug. 8, 2022 raid on Mar-a-Lago, all to discredit Trump, hoping to eventually bring charges against the former president.  Monaco appointed former U.S. Atty. Jack Smith as Special Counsel to determine whether to charge Trump with any crimes.  Judging by new revelations about Biden’s classified docs, Garland should terminate Smith as Special Counsel.  There’s simply no basis to play House Democrats political games especially when it comes to using the DOJ.  Certainly nothing presented by the Jan. 6 House Select Committee has any merit for criminal charges.  Garland would do the DOJ a favor ending Special Counsel Jack Smith’s assignment.  Instead, Garland appoints 49-year-old U.S. Atty. Robert Hurn Biden’s Special Counsel.

Garland, under heavy influence of Lisa Monaco, has only harmed the DOJ;s credibility, now disgracing the department appointing Special Counsel Robert Hur to investigate Biden’s classified docs.  Garland should fire Monaco immediately and rescind Special Counsel Jack Smith and Robert Hur’s assignments.  No one can possibly think that finding a few classified docs in Biden’s possession amounts to anything more than a hill of beans.  When it comes to Trump, Garland should appoint a Special Counsel to investigate years of corruption at the DOJ.  No federal agency should be used to persecute political opponents like the DOJ did with Trump.  Biden’s classified docs pale in comparison to his family corrupt business dealing with foreign governments.  Spending billions on the Ukraine War, it’s no accident that Biden’s son Hunter made millions at a corrupt Ukrainian natural gas company.

"The journalist who broke the story about the controversial 2016 tarmac meeting between former President Bill Clinton and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch was found dead Saturday morning, according to police.

The body of 45-year-old Christopher Sign, a news anchor for ABC 33/40 in Birmingham, was discovered by Hoover police and fire personnel at around 8 a.m. following a 911 call about a person down in a residence in Alabama, according to AL.com.

Hoover police Lt. Keith Czeskleba said Sign's death is being investigated as a suicide, the report added."

Oh wow, another Clinton enemy just "committed suicide". How fucking convenient for them.
