Why Biden sent Garland after Trump

It's pretty interesting how things how and when things happen. The bad news for Joe Biden was coming fast and hard. The GOP won control of the House and made clear what it planned to do first:

Members of the newly controlled Republican House on Thursday announced an investigation into the Biden family business and whether President Joe Biden is compromised by the family’s business schemes.

Rep. James Comer (R-TN), the top Republican on the Oversight Committee, announced during a press conference that the Biden family will be investigated for the following violations:

1. Conspiracy or defrauding the United States
2. Wire fraud
3. Conspiracy to commit wire fraud
4. Violation of the Foreign Agents Registration Act
5. Violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
6. Violations of the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000
7. Tax evasion
8. Money laundering
9. Conspiracy to commit money laundering

“I want to be clear, this is an investigation of Joe Biden,” Comer stated. “The Biden family’s business dealings implicate a wide range of criminality, from human trafficking to potential violations of the constitution.”

The Daily Mail provides a nice compilation of the criminal evidence here.

Then came the collapse of FTX and its curley-haired munchkin-voiced CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. Worse for Joe, SBF was thick with high profile democrats.

The family of Sam Bankman-Fried, the beleaguered founder of the now-bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, has significant ties to the Democratic establishment in Washington, D.C.

The FTX CEO's family — consisting of his parents, Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried, and brother Gabe Bankman-Fried — has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democratic candidates and actively worked with left-wing organizations committed to supporting Democrats. The four appear to have had subtle influence on the Democratic establishment for the better part of a decade.

"We’re ambitious and looking to make a splash," Gabe Bankman-Fried said in an interview with NBC News in May.

The Bankman-Fried's poured money into the democrat party

The Bankman-Fried brothers have led joint efforts to raise money to prevent future pandemics. Of the $38 million Sam Bankman-Fried donated to political campaigns and groups during the midterm election, about $27 million went to Protect Our Future PAC, a political action committee dedicated to boosting candidates who would push forward anti-pandemic policies, according to Federal Election Commission data.

The PAC only gave money to Democrats and the gun control group Everytown for Gun Safety Victory Fund. Bankman-Fried's donations to the PAC represented more than 99.5% of its total money raised.

Gabe Bankman-Fried, who has contributed more than $361,000 to mainly Democratic campaigns and causes over the last several years, founded the group Guarding Against Pandemics. The group researches and endorses candidates, who then often receive cash from Protect Our Future PAC.

SBF was the second-biggest donor to democrat party

Amid all the jubilation and gloating by Joe Biden, Chuck Schumer and pals over the Democrats’ better-than-expected showing in the midterms comes a disturbing story that may explain something about how they won such a curious election.

Biden’s second-biggest donor, cryptocurrency billionaire wunderkind Sam Bankman-Fried, a k a SBF, saw his business file for bankruptcy days after the election, but not before pumping $40 million into the Democratic Party to spend on “get-out-the-vote” and other shadowy ballot-harvesting mechanics for the midterms.

The shambolic 30-year-old whiz kid, once said to have been worth $16 billion, had spent $10 million helping get Biden elected in 2020.

Biden-FTX-Ukraine

It gets worse. The US has sent billions in support to Ukraine, and there are questions as to where it is going. Biden is sending billions to Ukraine. Now pay attention here

Trump did not have an AG.

Good post.

[Starboard]

Trump did not have an AG.

One was invisible and the other a bag pipe player.

Both were cowards.

Merrick Garland is truly vile!!!!

Harvard (my graduate school alma mater) should be ashamed for having honored him at its Commencement earlier this year!!!! It gave him a platform to lie about “democracy”!!!!

[G Larry]

Because whatever defense Trump employees against bogus charges, Biden will then use to cover up his own actual crimes.

Biden DOJ Assigns Special Counsel to Investigate Republicans in Congress and President Trump for Insurrection, Additionally Investigate Trump for DOJ Defined Classified Documents and Obstruction

November 18, 2022 | Sundance | 94 Comments

Okay, first things first.  CTH will not play the pretending game or structure the discussion of the special counsel appointments from the MSM references.  Instead, we will stick to the facts as they are presented, explain the events as they are factually reflected within the actual documents, and avoid the pretending constructs.

DATA Links: 

~ (1) Merrick Garland DOJ Statement on Appointment of Special Counsel 

~ (2) pdf of Legal Appointment 

~ (3) Statement of Jack Smith upon Appointment 

~ (4) Transcript of AG Merrick Garland Public Announcement.

The overarching Lawfare framework has been transparently created by President Obama’s former White House Legal Counsel and current U.S. Asst Attorney General Lisa Monaco.  To wit, earlier this afternoon Joe Biden’s Attorney General, Merrick Garland, announced the appointment of DOJ Attorney Jack Smith as special counsel to investigate two specific areas:

• First, to investigate current republican members of congress (House and Senate), former President and current candidate Donald J Trump, former Trump administration officials, former White House staff, and other individuals, groups and organizations for their role in supporting an insurrection on January 6, 2021, against the incoming administration of President-Elect Joe Biden.  In essence, the J6 investigation – with an emphasis on congress – transfers to Special Counsel Jack Smith:

The Special Counsel is authorized to conduct the ongoing investigation into whether any person or entity violated the law in connection with efforts to interfere with the lawful transfer of power following the 2020 presidential election or the certification of the Electoral College vote held on or about January 6, 2021, as well as any matters that arose or might arise directly from this investigation or that are within the scope of [Special Counsel Regulations 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(a)]. (pdf)

This is an extension of the January 6th Committee special investigation that transfers the committee’s investigative findings, ie phone records, text messages, transcripts, emails, prior testimony and all evidentiary records, into the newly appointed Special Counsel.

However, all prior and current DOJ prosecutions against citizen individuals will remain within the control and direction of Main Justice.  This structure free’s up Jack Smith to target the new republican controlled congressional members, their staff, families and/or communication network.   Main Justice keeps focus on the citizen insurrectionists, Jack Smith now appointed to go after the public officials.

J6 Committee staff, committee investigators, FBI agents and DOJ lawyers will now transfer from the committee to the special counsel office. Watch. (More on why later)

• Second – and this is ancillary to the first priority – DAG Lisa Monaco has written, and AG Garland has appointed, Jack Smith to target Donald Trump with the same special counsel process previously used by Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann.

The Special Counsel is further authorized to conduct the ongoing investigation referenced and described in the United States’ Response to Motion for Judicial Oversight and Additional Relief, Donald J Trump v. United States, No. 9:22-CV-81294-AMC (S.D. Fla. Aug. 30, 2022) (ECF No. 48 at 5- 13), as well as any matters that arose or may arise directly from this investigation or that are within the scope of [Special Counsel Regulation 28 C.F.R. § 600.4(a)].

The Trump Mar-a-Lago document investigation (the proverbial nothingburger – just like Trump/Russia) transfers to the Special Counsel office, along with an intended angle to look for an obstruction of justice charge (just like Mueller).   This is Robert Mueller 2.0 using Special Counsel Jack Smith.

The Trump-centric part of the special counsel appointment, the part that everyone is focusing on, is ancillary to the real purpose of the appointment.  However, that said, all investigative resources from Main Justice and the FBI will transfer to Jack Smith as they did when Crossfire Hurricane transferred to Robert Mueller.  The investigative people will transfer along with the investigative evidence.

Duplicating history, all of the DC elements of the UniParty, both Democrats and Republicans, will sing the praises of Jack Smith as an honorable man, beyond reproach, blah, blah, blah.   If you want to stop playing the pretending game, just pay attention to the people praising him, and THOSE voices are the bad guys.

As you can see from the simple (non-pretending) explanation of what is being done, the lawfare process become clear.   Everything congress may now begin to question falls under the protective blanket of an “ongoing investigation,” exactly as we predicted.  Plus, you get the additional Lawfare elements of congressional leadership under investigation which provides an entirely new ‘conflict of interest dynamic’ to the political equation.

Then you have the congressional representatives under investigation and search warrants on their phones, text messages, emails, etc…. AND the added benefit of using DOJ-NSD defined terms of “national security threat” to gain FISA warrants on an entire incoming congressional delegation.  How slick is that? 

This also explains why Nancy Pelosi did not resign from congress, but only stepped down from her leadership role.  The timing of mid-November (today) gives Smith time to get all his midterm counter-offensive ducks in a row before his republican targets take office in January.

All of the congressional J6 and DOJ main justice teams will now assemble in new DC offices to set up the 2023 targeting operation.  The announcement was made today, but the planning of the construct has been in place for months, contingent upon the number of actual House seats that could flip.  The Lawfare design is transparent when you stop looking at the obfuscation reporting from mainstream media.

Primary goal, create enough of a legal mess as to obstruct any republican legislative effort against the Biden White House.  Additionally, if Smith’s DC team can pick-off a few republican House members under charges of “supporting an insurrection“, the political power will revert back to the Democrats in office.

Jack Smith’s curriculum vitae as a lawyer experienced in international government law, think about tribunals for throwing government, then becomes a clarifying skillset.

Think of it like the legal ideology of the United Nations (democracy as defined by progressives) prosecuting members of the United States government for acts of rebellion under the framework of a constitutional republican form of government they abhor.  That’s Jack Smith.

In addition, the same ideological Lawfare elements will be targeting the threat represented by U.S. nationalist politician Donald J Trump.   It’s like The Great Reset crew inserting an operative inside a corrupt and friendly United States Dept of Justice, with the intent to remove the threat Donald J Trump represents to their interests.

On the multinational corporate side, while all this is special counsel stuff is taking place, the Wall Street billionaires and multinationals will be providing the illusion of choice for the American electorate.

Things making sense now?

It’s all right there, if we just stop pretending.

Accept things as they are, not as they are presented to be.

[Maris Crane]

That bagpipe is a perfect instrument for what I have in mind.

That pansy could have changed history.

Don’t get me started.

Regards

[Maris Crane]

That guy, Jack, has a face that embodies all the evil of all the villains who are in all the James Bond movies.

LOOK at his eyes...Look at the whole face....PURE EVIL.

[joesbucks]

He had 2 official and at least one interim after Barr left.

[skeeter]

I wonder if this Smith guy’s investigation will lock up all of the 1/6 video evidence we’ve been waiting to see

[Maris Crane]

My Book...He had NO AG.

[joesbucks]

Trump appointed him. If he was ineffective, that’s on Trump. He promised only to appoint the best top notch people to his cabinet.

[Maris Crane]

I know, joe, it’s Trump’s fault. He was and is a terrible person. He trusts people too much. But that’s no excuse, after all he should be more clairvoyant than anybody else.

Thank God he is gone so we don’t have to put up with all the GD good things he did for this country.

And it feels so good to hate him, doesn’t it, joe.

[joesbucks]

No need to hate him. But he made the promise about the quality of people he would add to his cabinet. Not me. Not you. He did. And time after time many never came close to meeting that standard. That’s on him.

[Maris Crane]

joe, if you haven’t noticed...or are so wrapped up in your crazy accusations that you don’t understand, you just don’t like Trump and are looking for an excuse not to like him.
I hired a lovely woman one time, her job involved handling money. She was intelligent, good work background, efficient, dependable always on time eager to help. She worked for some time well and then one day SHE STOLE MONEY FROM THE BUSINESS.

In your mind, it was my fault.

Well, I don’t want to hear it, so if you don’t mind, don’t post to me again.

[Albion Wilde]

[joesbucks]

That seems to be something me people’s problem around here. Letting Trump take the blame when it’s his fault.

As for not posting to you again, may I remind you that you opened the discussion between us. From the onset, you stood a 50/50 chance you wouldn’t like the replies you received. That, my friend, is on you.

[Maris Crane]

Gee, joe, must be nice never to be blamed for anything.

Fini!

[Maris Crane]

That seems to be something me people’s problem around here.

I don’t understand this sentence.

But, don’t worry, joe, I’m not blaming you for anything. It’s probably Trump’s fault.

[ballplayer]

They keep saying Biden’s business,the so called business was selling influence! They are traitors
