It's a very dark time in America. We're going to learn quickly if there is any hope for us. We're going to find out whether Merrick Garland, and consequently his DOJ, has a least shred of integrity left. The Diversion Plea written for Hunter Biden wasn't a real document. It wasn't a plea. He could not plead to things for which he had not been charged. He had not been charged with anything. That means the thing presented in court yesterday was a joke, but it has a provision that would protect Hunter (and thus Joe) from any past or...

The ongoing investigation into Hunter Biden’s tax affairs and overseas business dealings has come under increased scrutiny recently, revealing disturbing connections that raise serious questions about conflicts of interest. According to a report from Fox News, a thorough examination of Chief Deputy Attorney General of Delaware Alexander Snyder-Mackler, his association with the Biden family, and the investigation into Hunter Biden brings to light a concerning web of relationships that demands closer scrutiny. Mackler’s long-standing ties with the Bidens cannot be overlooked, having served as Joe Biden’s legal counsel during his vice presidency and as a press secretary during the former...

Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley on Thursday published an unclassified FBI document containing confidential human source information related to an alleged bribery scheme involving Joe and Hunter Biden in which a Ukrainian gas company hired Hunter Biden to secure access to his father to help the firm stifle an investigation into its dealings. The House Oversight Committee previously issued a subpoena to obtain the document, with which FBI Director Christopher Wray did not comply. Though he ultimately permitted the committee members to view the FD-1023 in a secure location, the contents remained unpublished until Grassley's Thursday release. The document shows that...

A bombshell FBI informant file containing a $10 million bribery allegation against President Biden and his son was released Thursday by Sen. Chuck Grassley, showing that a Ukrainian oligarch claimed he was “coerced” into making the payoff. The owner of Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings, Mykola Zlochevsky, told the FBI informant in 2016 during a meeting at a coffee shop in Vienna, Austria, that “it cost 5 [million] to pay one Biden, and 5 [million] to another Biden,” according to the redacted FD-1023 form. “Zlochevsky made some comment that although Hunter Biden ‘was stupid, and his (Zlochevsky’s) dog was smarter,’...

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., caused a stir when she held up several graphic photos from Hunter Biden’s laptop during a committee hearing Wednesday with IRS whistleblowers alleging misconduct in investigations into the Biden family.

Another Hunter Biden WhatsApp message was released by the GOP House Oversight Committee on Tuesday. In a WhatsApp exchange dated August 3, 2017, Hunter Biden told CEFC associate Gongwen Dong: “The Biden’s are the best I know at doing exactly what the Chairman wants from this [partnership].” The “Chairman” is Ye Jianming, a Chinese billionaire tied to a CCP-intelligence gathering agency. Ye Jianming is presumed dead after he ‘disappeared.’ The next day one of Hunter Biden’s shell companies, OWASCO PC, received $100,000 from CEFC, a CCP affiliated energy company.

The New York Times confirmed one of the bombshell claims made about the Department of Justice's mishandling of its probe into Hunter Biden but buried it deep in its Tuesday report. After Biden pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor tax violations and entered a pretrial diversion agreement regarding the felony gun registration charge, the House Ways and Means Committee released testimony from two IRS whistleblowers who alleged that President Biden's son received preferential treatment by the Justice Department. IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley claimed that U.S. Attorney David Weiss alleged to multiple witnesses that he was told by the DOJ that he...

"The decision of the Staff - Chief Commander Zaluzhnyi and Commander of the "North" Naiev - was to implement a set of measures to strengthen this area," Zelensky informed. [snip] President Volodymyr Zelensky is convinced that the contingent of the "Wagner" PMC in Belarus will be insignificant, as more than 20,000 "Wagnerites" have already been destroyed by the Ukrainian defense forces.

"The FBI verified its authenticity in November of 2019 by matching the device number against Hunter Biden’s Apple iCloud ID," IRS whistleblower Shapley testified. The FBI knew the laptop Hunter Biden abandoned at a Delaware repair shop was authentic back in 2019. IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley Jr revealed in testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee that "in October 2019, the FBI became aware that a repair shop had a laptop allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden and that laptop might contain evidence of a crime." This was a full year before the laptop came to light via the New...

Despite slogging along through months of the legacy media studiously ignoring the ongoing allegations of corruption inside Biden Inc., the word seems to be getting around. More people are emerging from the shadows with stories of their own that they’ve kept quiet about for years or even decades. The latest is a man named Mike McCormick. If you’ve never heard of Mr. McCormick before, that’s to be expected. He wasn’t a public official who tended to show up in the headlines. He served as a stenographer in the White House for fifteen years spanning multiple administrations, including that of Barack...

Despite the White House’s best efforts to laugh off the ongoing investigation of the Biden Crime Family and the most recent revelations of bribery to the tune of $10 million ($5 million for Joe and $5 million for Hunter), they’re not going away. In fact, new unsettling details regarding the FD-1023 document are trickling out. Earlier this week, we learned the FBI had heavily redacted the document, including the part allegedly revealing there are 17 recordings of Mykola Zlochevsky, co-founder of Burisma Holdings, bribing the Bidens (15 featuring Hunter Biden and two with then-Vice President Joe Biden), which Zlochevsky recorded...

Did Biden pressure Garland to prosecute Trump? We found it on tape. President Biden expressly said that he would use the full power of the United States government to ensure that former President Trump will not become the next president again. As the 45th president builds his legal defense to counter Special Counsel Jack Smith's Crime-Fraud Exception Strategy and have the case thrown out, the government's case could further fall apart if the Trump team can show that the DOJ is using selective, premeditated, biased, prosecution techniques to target him based on a presidential directive to achieve a desired result....

Just in case you had any faith left in our federal governing and law enforcement agencies, let me go ahead and douse out that final flicker of hope. FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate admitted Tuesday the FBI redacted mention of audio recordings of Joe and Hunter Biden in a document shown last week to Republican lawmakers in which an FBI informant alleged the Bidens were involved in a bribery scheme. (The document is unclassified). So, Chuck Grassley let us know about the reality of audio recordings of the Biden's taking bribes from Burisma. But the crazy part isn't the recordings....

Karine Jean-Pierre violated a law designed to limit how officials engage in elections when she referred to "MAGA Republicans" ahead of the midterms, the agency said. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre violated a law intended to prevent federal employees from using their offices to influence elections when she repeatedly referred to “mega MAGA Republicans” in the run-up to the 2022 midterms, a government watchdog agency said. In a letter first shared with NBC News, the Office of Special Counsel determined that Jean-Pierre's choice of words in referring to Republican candidates violated the Hatch Act. “Because Ms. Jean‐Pierre made the...

On Thursday, after weeks of resisting the House Oversight Committee’s requests for the FD-1023 form from 2020 detailing bribery allegations made against Joe Biden, FBI Director Christopher Wray granted the House Oversight Committee access to the document. The form contains allegations that Joe Biden received a payment of $5 million from an executive at Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings, where Biden’s son Hunter Biden served on the board while he was serving as vice president. Hunter Biden also allegedly received $5 million as part of the deal, and the payments were concealed by using multiple bank accounts. “$5 million for...

‘The FBI is attempting a coverup, and Democrats are doing their bidding by lying to the American people,’ Rep. James Comer told The Federalist. It’s not true. It wasn’t closed down,” William Barr told The Federalist on Tuesday in response to Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin’s claim that the former attorney general and his “handpicked prosecutor” had ended an investigation into a confidential human source’s allegation that Joe Biden had agreed to a $5 million bribe. “On the contrary,” Barr stressed, “it was sent to Delaware for further investigation.” Former Attorney General Barr went on the record with The Federalist following...

If the bombshells unleashed at Wednesday morning’s House Oversight Committee press conference had been about the corruption of a Republican president via millions of dollars in foreign bribes to his family, the clamor for impeachment would have been deafening. But Joe Biden has the protection of the Deep State and unscrupulous Democratic lawyers, so accountability will be slower, though no less certain, if Oversight Chairman James Comer continues his dogged pursuit of the money. Comer (R-Ky.) has delivered an astonishing forensic interim accounting of $10 million in payments from just two of the countries, Romania and China, which enriched the...

President Joe Biden appointed the President of a non-profit organization linked to Hunter Biden’s corrupt business affairs in Ukraine to the Board of the U.S. Air Force Academy, War Room can reveal. The appointee, Jenna Ben-Yehuda, will serve a three-year term on the Board of Visitors to the U.S. Air Force Academy, which “advises the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary of Defense, through the Secretary of the Air Force, and to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate and the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives,” according to a White House press release. Among...

A respected former federal prosecutor approached the U.S. Justice Department in fall 2018 on behalf of a foreign witness who claimed to have evidence that Joe Biden had "exercised influence to protect" his son's employer in Ukraine in return for money to his family, according to interviews and documents obtained by Just the News. The agency didn't take up the ex-prosecutor on his offer but instead secretly obtained his phone records a year later in an apparent effort to identify his contacts. Retired Little Rock, Ark., U.S. Attorney Bud Cummins wrote then-New York U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman on Oct. 4,...
