Immediately after the impeachment acquittal vote, senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson send a letter [pdf link here] to the Director of the Secret Service, James Murray, seeking travel records for Hunter Biden.
It appears the senators are looking into the background of Biden surrounding business dealings with China and Ukraine: ““We write to request information about whether Hunter Biden used government-sponsored travel to help conduct private business, to include his work for Rosemont Seneca and related entities in China and Ukraine.”…

What makes this approach interesting is the questioning earlier today by House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler toward FBI Director Chris Wray.  Nadler asked several pointed questions to Wray about whether any FBI investigation of the Bidens was requested by the White House or Congress….  Perhaps Nadler expected some inquiries to start.

Today is the third day since the Iowa caucuses took place and still the results are not announced.  The current status is 71 percent reported and the Democrat narrative engineers are in a holding pattern. [New York Times Election Results]:

Bernie Sanders is leading in the popular vote, but Pete Buttigieg is leading in State Delegate Equivalents (SDE’s); each has received 11 delegates so far.
Obviously the DNC club wants to extend the amount of time Buttigieg can use to claim victory and simultaneously diminish support for Bernie Sanders.  In the only update since the original release at 62 percent, media engineered candidate Joe Biden has dropped below the 15 percent threshold for delegates.  It is quite possible, despite the media polling prior to the caucus, that Joe Biden will not get any delegates at all.
If I had to guess I’d say the results will be released after the impeachment acquittal vote. Overall Democrat turnout in Iowa was terrible; the complete opposite of the preceding media narrative.

FBI Director Chris Wray is testifying to the House Judiciary Committee today and will likely receive questions about the FISA abuse issue.  Chairman Nadler scheduled the hearing today in a transparent effort to avoid publicity on the content.

In a clear sign of desperation; as President Trump approval numbers jump significantly while the impeachment effort fails; and seeming to accept that Democrat 2020 ambitions are evaporating in front of her eyes; Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi tears up the printed copy of President Trump’s State of the Union remarks at the conclusion of the speech.

.
Quite a remarkable display of pettiness and partisan hate. Meanwhile, it creates a strong contrast as President Trump presents an optimistic outlook for a bright future…
This loser stunt by Pelosi is such an act of desperation it looks ridiculous.  Trump Winning easily.

Democrat political strategist James Carville appears on MSNBC and plays the roll of Toto pulling back the curtain on a false media-constructed narrative.
Carville notes this was supposed to be a year of hyped democrat voter enthusiasm, but it just isn’t there.  Additionally, Carville asks what the heck happened to the polling over the past two weeks?  Biden was supposed to be a top-tier candidate… or something.

Last week, after the Senate impeachment trial outcome became likely, we surmised that Joe Biden’s candidacy would plummet fast.  The reason was simple, Biden was only propped up to create the Trump opponent narrative.  There really was no underlying support for the DNC/Media creation; it was all a useful ruse.
Today, displaying the Mamet Principle on almost every broadcast show, the TV pundits play the game of pretending to wonder what happened to Joe Biden.  WATCH:

.
The fictitious Biden candidacy no longer serves a purpose. These snippets below are quite funny now.

As people start looking at the background behind a data reporting application, “the App”, that was deployed by the Iowa Democrat party and DNC for data collection as used in the Iowa Caucus, a new development has surfaced.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), working in coordination with state elections officers, have an existing relationship to ensure computer systems and data collection systems are safe and secure.  Today the DHS reports their offer to review the data system was rebuked by the Iowa Democrat Pary.

Earlier today Senator Rand Paul delivered his remarks on impeachment from the Senate floor.  During his remarks Senator Paul highlighted the real and present danger of allowing agents within government to plot against a sitting president.
Senator Paul asks the same question he presented to Chief Justice John Roberts as the presiding officer of the Senate trial.  A question Roberts refused to ask:

“Are you aware that House intelligence committee staffer Shawn Misko had a close relationship with Eric Ciaramella while at the National Security Council together; and are you aware -and how do you respond to- reports that Ciaramella and Misko may have worked together to plot impeaching the President before there were formal house impeachment proceedings?“
