Stuff happening fast now… This is all a response to surging Bernie and a failed coup.

Chris Heinz and Hunter Biden were friends in business together, each cashing-in on the influence held by their fathers’ John Kerry and Joe Biden.   Considering the likelihood Joe Biden was only running for President in order to: (1) shield himself from scrutiny, and (2) establish the cornerstone of the impeachment effort; it makes complete sense for John Kerry to be the participating campaign handler.
With Biden’s impeachment usefulness now exhausted by DC engineers, there’s no reason to prop-up his candidacy.  He’s dropping like a proverbial rock.  However the risk to Biden and Kerry still exists (see Lindsey Graham interview today), thus Kerry is anxious.  The schemes are running head-first into the reality of the primary election:

DES MOINES, Iowa — Former Secretary of State John Kerry — one of Joe Biden’s highest-profile endorsers — was overheard Sunday on the phone at a Des Moines hotel explaining what he would have to do to enter the presidential race amid “the possibility of Bernie Sanders taking down the Democratic Party — down whole.”

Yesterday we shared: “The Biden Purpose if Finished, Watch How Fast He Plummets“, the reasoning is simple.  The Zelensky election was April 21st, 2019.  Joe Biden announces his run for office April 25th, 2019.  Impeachment 1.0 collapses with Robert Mueller testimony on July 24th, 2019.   Trump-Ukraine was the beginning of impeachment hoax 2.0.

Joe Biden was never a viable candidate. He was pushed into the election to set-up a hoax impeachment narrative of President Trump investigating his 2020 political opponent.
New York Times relays story of Rudy Giuliani traveling to Ukraine on May 9th, 2019.  If Biden didn’t run, Trump talking to Zelensky is an investigation of corrupt Ukraine activity in 2016.  If Biden ran, that conversation is spun into Trump talking to Zelensky to request an investigation of his 2020 opponent.  Hence dual purpose of Biden run for office.
With the impeachment hoax 2.0 at a closing point, Biden’s usefulness is finished. Today, as predicted, the headline reads: “New South Carolina Poll is a Disaster for Joe Biden“:

WASHINGTON – Joe Biden may have just received the worst news of his campaign, as a new poll shows his support in his firewall state of South Carolina collapsing along with his once-dominant support among black voters, with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and Tom Steyer closing the gap.

HPSCI Ranking Member Devin Nunes brings an uncomfortable dose of reality to a media discussion and he’s exactly correct.  Appearing on Tucker Carlson Mr. Nunes highlights that a vote to acquit on the impeachment articles will not be the end of this fiasco.
The Crossfire Hurricane hoax was constructed with an insurance policy to initiate the Mueller investigation, another hoax.  This same network of political operatives, all of which know each-other and work together in various government factions, then morphed the Mueller hoax into the Ukraine hoax; it’s one long continuum and it will not stop with a Senate impeachment acquittal.  WATCH:

.
Additionally, on the Democrat presidential contest Nunes now predicts the movement for Bernie Sanders is going to succeed and gain the nomination.  I agree.

Senator Rand Paul appears on Fox News with Martha MacCallum to discuss how the impeachment process originated.   One of Senator Paul’s concerns centers around staff of Adam Schiff and the HPSCI plotting the impeachment process.
Former NSC member Sean Misko (currently on Schiff’s staff), and former DOJ-NSD head, Mary McCord, may have participated in constructing a whistle-blower complaint eventually presented by CIA operative Eric Ciaramella; using false evidence provided by current NSC member Alexander Vindman.

Three days before the New York Times received a selectively leaked copy of a book manuscript written by John Bolton, Mr. Bolton’s lawyers were informed by the White House the manuscript could not be published.  [Source: John Roberts]

On January 23rd John Bolton was denied authorization to publish. On the evening of January 26th the New York Times wrote about a copy of the transcript.  It now appears Bolton’s team held a retaliatory motive and may have leaked the manuscript themselves.
