♦ Where are the official 10:00am press briefing updates every day on the investigation?

♦ Where are the official press conferences from the Secret Service, FBI and law enforcement answering questions and providing information from the prior days investigative results?

♦ Where are the organized and official updates to let the American people know what has been found out about the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump?

Today, the House Oversight Committee [aka ‘Chaff and Countermeasures Committee] is questioning Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, on the “Oversight of the U.S. Secret Service and the Attempted Assassination of President Donald J. Trump.”

Director Cheatle is under fire for the catastropic, almost deadly, failures to provide security to President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. Republicans are using the opportunity of Cheatle’s appearance to find answers about the events.  Cheatle is not expected to remain in office as the transition from Joe Biden to Kamala Harris happens in the White House.

The hearing starts at 10:00am ET with Livestream Links Below:

The biggest question inside the investigation of the Trump assassination attempt, is the thing no one has mentioned.  Why have there been no daily press briefings?

♦ Where are the official 10:00am press briefing updates every day on the investigation?

♦ Where are the official press conferences from the Secret Service, FBI and law enforcement answering questions and providing information from the prior days investigative results?

♦ Where are the organized and official updates to let the American people know what has been found out about the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump?

The absence of official press briefings has been the dog that didn’t bark.

Instead, the Secret Service, FBI and Law Enforcement have been selectively leaking details, testing what would be and would not be accepted, and we have only seen controlled snippets of information.

Much of the information within those leaks has been lies, sometimes absurd in their construct, pushed through a generally incurious media.

Smart people have noted the absence of the official public information process indicates something very sketchy in the background. [ie. the dog that didn’t bark]

The attempted assassination of President Trump is a big deal; perhaps one of the biggest events in recent history. There is massive public interest.

If ordinary procedures and protocols were being followed, we would have official daily updates at scheduled press conferences, and the media would be able to present questions based on presented information.  The absence of these press briefings told us something that is not good.  But perhaps today, we find out why.

The Washington Post is now running a story saying Secret Service security requests were repeatedly denied by top government officials.

Mark Halperin is pretty dialed in to the deep DNC network, particularly close to the core DNC apparatus.  Halperin is saying the plan for Joe Biden to announce his withdrawal from the Democrat nomination is now underway.  Biden will announce this weekend, likely Sunday.  WATCH:

According to Halperin:

• Joe Biden plans to announce withdrawal from nomination process as early as this weekend, Sunday most likely.

• Biden advisor Jon Meacham polishing up remark for delivery to the nation.

• Joe Biden with NOT resign the presidency and will finish the remainder of his term.

• Interestingly, Joe Biden will NOT endorse VP Kamala Harris. Biden will let the convention decide.

• There will be an open convention with Kamala Harris and about 3 others on the first ballot.

• The infamous super delegates, deep DNC insiders, will not be allowed to vote on 1st ballot. This point is moot because no one is going to win on the first ballot.

• Kamala Harris is planning her convention strategy around a full ticket proposal. Harris is vetting at least four possible running mates, including Andy Beshear and possibly Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro.

By now everyone knows the importance of James Clyburn in the 2024 election.  Through his network, Clyburn controls the ballot counters in roughly 15 different urban areas. James Clyburn said earlier today the Democrats have until August 19th to replace Joe Biden through the open convention process.

It does not seem coincidental that Clyburn would make this statement in combination with a letter sent by 24 professional democrats urging, imploring, Joe Biden to release his delegates and allow an open convention to determine the 2024 Democrat nominee.  WATCH (key moment at 02:56):

WASHINGTON DC – A group of two dozen former House Democrats has sent a letter to President Joe Biden calling for him to step aside to prevent a GOP takeover of Washington. Instead, they want him to allow for an “open convention” this summer to decide the 2024 ticket.

In their letter, the 24 Democrats — which include former House members and one former senator — make clear that they do not doubt Biden’s “extraordinary record.” But they warn that if the president stays on the ballot, it would mean the party not only loses the White House, but would decimate their ranks in Congress.

We keep watching.

This entire interview is really bizarre from the perspective of Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) talking about the transparently visible issues of Joe Biden, yet he needs to stay firmly in the herd to support the party decision. The pretzel logic he uses to reconcile his passive position is actually stunning.

However, at a particular part of the interview [05:03 prompted] Senator Bennet gives his honest appraisal that he (and others) genuinely believes President Trump is likely to win in a landslide. WATCH:

Joe Biden has been hiding in the bunker. He did a phone call with MSNBC, but Jill has been doing the campaigning while exit negotiations are ongoing.

However, someone controlling the schedule did decline a meeting with Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) Chairman Mark Warner, who is also the lead spokesperson/protector for the Intelligence Community, which is not really a good idea since the “seven ways to Sunday” group don’t like to be ignored.

[…] “Warner had reportedly called the meeting in the wake of Biden’s performance in the first presidential debate late last month, and as several House Democrats have called on him to withdraw from the ticket. However, once plans for the “private” meeting became public, it was scrapped.” {link}

So instead of having the meeting with Biden, Senator Warner just tweeted the instructions:

[SOURCE]

As much as I dislike Mark Warner, I do appreciate the transparency of the coded messaging he presents.  So, let’s summarize it.

From the position of the intelligence community (IC) Joe Biden is less important than their priority of ensuring President Trump does not win reelection.

It is an existential and/or zero-sum battle from the standpoint of the IC.  If Trump wins, they could be destroyed; ergo, Biden or someone, anyone, must defeat Trump.  The IC doesn’t care who removes the threat Trump represents – that’s the “strongest path forward” part; however, Trump must be defeated.

Warner says Biden must take a meeting with the IC “broader group of voices,” and listen to them tell Biden -in person- what the real priority is.  Joe Biden is less important than removing the threat Trump represents to them.

This meeting would essentially represent the “offer you cannot refuse”, “or else” meeting, that Biden is trying to avoid.  The IC is not going to be ignored, so sayeth Mark Warner.

Several reports have recently surfaced about a neurologist who specializes in Parkinson’s disease visiting the White House at least eight times in the past eight months.  ABC News was the most recent outlet to report on the issue {SEE HERE}.

[…] The doctor, Kevin Cannard, is a neurologist and “movement disorders specialist” who works at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. According to the logs, prior to July of 2023 he had only visited the White House once in November of 2022. (link)

Speculation has increased about the potential for Joe Biden to have this medical condition given the seemingly aligned symptoms he has displayed very publicly in the past several months.  However, when White House Spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre was questioned about the White House logs showing the visits, she became very irritated and refused to answer details to the press pool.

The White House media questioned Ms Jean-Pierre forcefully, giving her a taste of what the Trump spokespeople went through every day.  Her angry and intemperate response to their questioning was not reassuring at all.  WATCH:

Methinks she doth protest too much…

WURD radio in Philadelphia, bills themselves as the only black-owned and run talk radio station in Pennsylvania, according to its website.

According to WURD, radio host of “The Source,” Andrea Lawful-Sanders, was fired for accepting scripted questions from the White House for use in the interview with Joe Biden. [Press Release Here] However, in the non-pretending reality of the situation, everyone understands Mrs Lawful-Sanders was actually fired for revealing the Joe Biden White House sends scripts for media personalities to use.

Mrs Lawful-Sanders was not fired for using the questions, she was fired for revealing them.  The message from the only black-owned radio station in Pennsylvania, was a warning to others not to tell the public how the fraud around Joe Biden is created.

Philadelphia – Philadelphia radio station has cut ties with the host who admitted to asking President Biden only questions that were supplied to her by his campaign, WURD Radio’s leadership confirmed Sunday.

Andrea Lawful-Sanders, who previously hosted “The Source” on WURD 96.1 FM, scored the first post-debate interview with Biden last Wednesday.

However, on Saturday, she revealed that she was fed eight questions by the Biden campaign — and used four of them as her only queries to the president.

Sara Lomax, WURD Radio’s president and CEO, said Sunday that she was not involved in negotiations for the interview. “The interview featured pre-determined questions provided by the White House, which violates our practice of remaining an independent media outlet accountable to our listeners. As a result, Ms. Lawful-Sanders and WURD Radio have mutually agreed to part ways, effective immediately,” Lomax said. (read more)
