During a brief panel discussion of the Hunter Biden plea deal collapse this past week, today the Elf on the Shelf Catherine Herridge gave Margaret Brennan a case of the vapors as she discussed the Delaware courtroom drama.
Mrs. Brennan was pretendingly verklempt at the play-by-play. {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH:
Nothing highlights a guilty intent quite like Main Justice backtracking to tell the judge their prior request was really, double dog swear, not intended to intimidate a congressional witness just a few hours before the testimony. [SOURCE]
But seriously…. We all know what this is. The weaponization of the DOJ is the #1 topic of national discussion; even when they pretend not to notice the weaponization of the justice system is the #1 topic of national discussion.
Main Justice, a network of affiliated Lawfare minds, runs in an echo-chamber of ideological group think. There’s no one in the room to say, ‘hey guys, um, hold up – this looks like weaponization, targeting and witness intimidation‘, because they really are weaponizing, targeting and intimidating witnesses.
Then suddenly when the world says, ‘damn, do you see this example’? Suddenly, the corrupt frenzy boil slows to a simmer and the ‘whoops they can see us‘ backtracking begins.
On the eve of very high-profile House committee testimony by Hunter Biden’s business associate, Devon Archer, mysteriously the DOJ from the Southern District of New York asks Judge Ronnie Abrams to schedule a date for Archer to report to prison in an unrelated case. If the SDNY was attempting to threaten or intimidate Archer in advance of his testimony, this is the path they would take. {Direct Rumble Link}
As noted by Politico, “The court isn’t expected to make a decision before Archer will meet behind closed doors with the House Oversight Committee, meaning that even if the court ultimately sides with the request Archer wouldn’t have to report to prison before the meeting. And his attorney said in a statement that he will move forward with his planned appearance Monday.” However, the timing of the letter on the weekend before the testimony looks transparently motivated.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer discussed with Maria Bartiromo earlier today. WATCH:
“I don’t know if this is a coincidence, Maria, or if this is another example of the weaponization of the Department of Justice. But I can tell you this, the lengths to which the Biden legal team has gone to try to intimidate our witnesses, to coordinate with the Department of Justice, and to certainly coordinate with the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee, to encourage people not to cooperate with our investigation, to encourage banks not to turn over bank records, to encourage Treasury not to let have access to those suspicious activity reports, It’s very troubling. I believe that this is another violation of the law. This is obstruction of justice.” ~ James Comer
When the warnings were first issued about the California effort, the professional Republican class claimed the effort to undermine the Trump primary race was a vast MAGA conspiracy. However, those who have walked the deep political weeds have known how the state affiliates of the RNC always align to the larger corporate agenda.
According to CBS, the Republican Party in Massachusetts is now proposing a similar change to their distribution of delegates in the 2024 primary election in order to help support the non-Trump corporate approved candidate, likely Ron DeSantis.
Before getting to the CBS report, it is worthwhile remembering none of this is without precedent. Factually, when the RNC -a private corporation- first constructed the roadmap for Jeb Bush at their winter meeting (December 2014), the state of Florida was the key. Prior to the Trump entry, Florida changed their primary date for 2016 and aligned to deliver a winner take all distribution as part of the Jeb roadmap. Marco Rubio was designed to deliver an endorsement and then skyrocket Jeb through the remaining states.
The people who organize and control the RNC Club never forgave Donald Trump for upsetting their 2016 “illusion of choice” system. Everything thereafter has been a Big Club operation to counterattack that takeover. What we witnessed in the past seven years and what we witness today, all stems from that initial thundershock.
MASSACHUSSETTS – For many years, the Massachusetts Republican presidential primary has been a winner-take-all affair. But that might be about to change.
In an interview Wednesday morning with WBZ-TV, state GOP Chair Amy Carnevale disclosed that the party is “seriously considering” a switch to proportional allocation of delegates. A party subcommittee has met to discuss the change once and may approve it at a forthcoming session.
The Iowa affiliate of the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the organizers of the RNC Lincoln Day Dinner in Des Moines, thought they would be cute by using a snarky song for the entrance music of President Donald John Trump.
Relax, we got this. There are more of us than them, and they hate us for it. Their efforts are laughable and will backfire as base voters are wide-eyed and awake to the Machiavellian constructs the RNC is famous for in their quest to control the illusion of choice. The RNC is as fake and phony as the astroturf under the feet of their manufactured candidates. Here’s President Trump’s speech. WATCH:
The professional Republican apparatus is not an ally to the Make America Great Again movement, the America First policies or President Donald Trump.
The professional Republican apparatus, which includes the RNC and Iowa RNC affiliate, are working against the interests of the working class voters; in fact, they hate us. As a result, it does not come as a surprise to see the RNC operations rolled out in Iowa tonight in both the undermining efforts of the venue and the assistance from former CIA operative, Will Hurd.
On the surface, Will Hurd is claiming to run for the office of the President under a similar platform to allied former congresswoman Liz Cheney. However, the non-pretending version of the effort is for Will Hurd to damage President Trump as much as needed in order to remove the anti-GOPe policies Trump represents. Hurd is likely not going to make the debate stage, so they need him to do as much damage as he can now.
At the end of Hurd’s remarks, at the Republican Party’s annual Lincoln Dinner in Des Moines, he declared Trump was running for president “to stay out of prison,” rather than to “make America great again.” The assembled crowd booed him off stage. WATCH:
President Trump united the largest minority coalition to support the Republican Party in history. President Trump won more black, Hispanic and minority voters than any Republican candidate in history. Yet, Will Hurd has to manufacture lies in order to attack the MAGA movement.
“The reason Donald Trump lost the election in 2020 is he failed to grow the GOP brand in areas like women with a college degree in the suburbs, Black and Brown communities, and people under the age of 35. One of the things we need in our elected leaders is for them to speak the truth, even if it’s unpopular. Donald Trump is not running for president to make America great again. Donald Trump is not running for president to represent the people that voted for him in 2016 and 2020. Donald Trump is running to stay out of prison.”
I have calloused hands and never hide my pride in my blue-collar, non-pretending, life. I can say with certainty, the rustbelt is forever lost to the professional Republican Party. The GOP club, like the DNC club, is dead in the wake of the great MAGA insurgency. Politicians representing the high-minded and pontificating professional Republican class will never again win an election in the rustbelt.
The collapse of the Republican Party in the rustbelt is entirely due to the professionally Republican politicians aligning with economic policies that destroyed the middle class within the region. This is MAGA country now; a place where pragmatic views and deliberate perspectives drive the outcomes of the voting electorate. The era of hope and polite requests is over, and the voters are no longer going to put up with bullsh*t. A recent Ohio poll is a strong indication of this:
The approved and professional Republican Party candidate, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, has dropped into single digits in Ohio with less than 9% support. Vivek Ramaswamy has jumped over DeSantis into first loser status with 12%, far behind the originator of the America First agenda, President Donald Trump with 64%.
♦ SEMI RELATED – Recently, after noting the CEO of Public Square bragging about the appointment of former Senator Kelly Loeffler (GA) to the Board of Directors, I asked the founder Michael Seifert if he knew what appointing the wife of NYSE owner Jeffrey Sprecher to the board indicates when contrast against the Wall Street corporate sellout of the working class PublicSq was promising to support. Public Square founder Michael Seifert said, he “was not familiar” with the rustbelt. Absorb that as you will.
I tap my glass loudly with a spoon from the back of the room….
The House Oversight and Government Affairs Committee has a team of lawyers and staff.
Evidence in public shows the sitting president of the United States took payments from foreign business interests in a scheme to use the power of the U.S. government to influence foreign government policy and protect/enhance the business interests of the people who paid him.
To wit…. The Republicans in the House of Representatives have thousands of Joe and Hunter Biden bank records, hundreds of trace records for wire transfer statements and payments, hundreds of reported U.S. Treasury suspicious activity reports, thousands of emails and subpoenaed text messages, audio and video recordings, thousands of photographs, access to the laptop of Hunter Biden and all the content therein, documented witnesses to the activity, testimony under oath corroborating how the Bidens collected tens of millions from foreign nations as unregistered foreign agents which was subsequently laundered through 20 shell companies.
The House committee also has FBI witness reports (FD-1023) from verified and reliable Confidential Human Sources who documented the intent and purpose of the transactions, along with US government attorneys in Philadelphia who investigated and confirmed the substance of the confidential human source allegations therein. Additionally, the Republicans in Congress have sworn affidavits and testimony from two IRS whistleblowers who testified the US attorney in Delaware was working with the U.S. Dept of Justice in Washington DC to bury the results of the investigation.
Lastly, and most recently, the Republicans have a transparently corrupt federal plea agreement rejected as presented by U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika, because the intent of the construct was to protect the son of the President of the United States from legal exposure within the business that provided the material wealth for himself and the family of the President, providing immunity for their Foreign Agent Registration Act violations…
….And the Republican Speaker of the House is letting the Republican controlled Congress go on vacation for the next two months.
All of this,…. ALL OF THIS…. while the former Republican president and current 2024 election front-runner is being railroaded by the same Dept of Justice the Speaker refuses to confront.
Boiling down the core of what media were focused on today, essentially it looks like this:
(VIA ABC) Trump attorneys John Lauro and Todd Blanche met with Smith’s team following the receipt of a target letter alerting Trump he is a target of the special counsel’s investigation into efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Trump’s lawyers were there to make the case for why they believed Trump shouldn’t be indicted. Smith was present for the meeting, sources said. The meeting ended after an hour; sources told ABC News.
The pattern of what appears to be distraction from the DOJ, organized by DAG Lisa Monaco, continues.
Any time there is very bad information in the media cycle, related to the ongoing sunlight upon Joe Biden and his crime family syndicate, the Joe Biden DOJ rolls out an indictment against Donald Trump.
At this point the transparency is so obvious, even Democrats admit it.
First things first, it’s Politico! When the Dept of Justice or FBI need to frame a narrative particular to their interests they use Politico and the New York Times. Keep this in mind. When Main Justice needs to position themselves, they leak to NYT and Politico. All leaks are purposeful.
Politico has received a copy of what is claimed to be the original Hunter Biden plea agreement between the USAO in Delaware and the Biden defense team. This is the plea agreement that was challenged by U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika, who was concerned the structure of the deal appeared to be creating immunity from prosecution for crimes that might come out of a now admitted, ongoing investigation of Hunter Biden; those crimes may include FARA violations.
The core issue centers around what appears to be clear coordination between the USAO, likely with the approvals of Main Justice (Monaco, Garland) and the Biden defense team, to structure the wording and placement of legal mechanisms inside the plea agreement to not only excuse the current criminal infractions, but also protect Hunter Biden from future criminal liability.
Essentially, all previous activities by Hunter Biden would be immune from prosecution, up to the date of his signing of the plea agreement. A blank slate retroactively, with all exposure for criminal conduct removed. The conduct surrounding the immunity is outlined in “Exhibit 1” and the “Attachment A” which was filed under seal.
