Mark Hemingway caught Joe Biden’s “especially combative” interview with Chris Cuomo on CNN yesterday (video below). Hemingway reports that when Cuomo shifted the topic from mandatory school busing to Russian election meddling in Europe and America, “Biden bizarrely asserted that the Obama administration never let that happen.”
Biden’s catchphrase in this short interview is “C’mon, man.” Count the times he resorts to it.
If Biden remains a serious candidate, I’m afraid the interview is worth watching. It put me in mind of Robert Gates’s observation that Biden has “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”
Hemingway adds this poignant note: “The interview was ended only when an aide stepped in to stop it. It was a mercy killing, and a sure sign that those on the campaign felt that 76-year-old was out of control.”
Quotable quote (on Russian election meddling, at about 10:00): “You think that would happen on my watch, on Barack’s watch? You can’t answer that, but I promise you it wouldn’t have. And it didn’t.”

Here’s the tape.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
BIDEN: We’re not going to give you the billion dollars.
They said, you’ve got no authority.
You’re not the president.
The president — I said, call him.
I said I’m telling you.
You are not getting a billion dollars.
I said, you are not getting the billion.
I’m going to be leaving here, I think it was six hours.
Look, I said [I'm] leaving [in] six hours, if the prosecutor is not fired, you are not getting the money.
Well, son of a (EXPLETIVE DELETED), he got fired.

All right. Busy news night. We continue.
Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
It absolutely happened on THEIR watch. Any they were directly in on it!
It put me in mind of Robert Gates’s observation that Biden has “been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.”
Plugs has been wrong for FIVE Decades, beginning when he voted to cut off funding to South Vietnam and Cambodia, leading to the Killing Fields and Boat People.
The unnamed presidential candidate who paid and sent Slo Mo Uncle Joe to keep the seat warm until they’re ready to get their campaign up and rolling better giddy up on that. Uncle Joe is melting down faster than a stick of butter in a hot pan!
NEW YORK — Former Vice President Joe Biden was reportedly one of the few Obama administration officials who participated in secretive meetings during the early stages of the Obama-era intelligence community’s initial operations regarding suspected Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign.
The number of Obama administration officials who were allowed access to the Russia intelligence was also highly limited, The Post reported. At first only four senior officials were involved, and not Biden. Those officials were CIA Director John Brennan, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Attorney General Loretta Lynch and then-FBI Director James Comey. Their aides were all barred from attending the initial meetings, The Post stated. The circle of those who attended the secretive meetings on the matter soon widened to include Biden, The Post reported (emphasis added):
The secrecy extended into the White House. Susan Rice and White House homeland-security adviser Lisa Monaco convened meetings in the Situation Room to weigh the mounting evidence of Russian interference and generate options for how to respond. At first, only four senior security officials were allowed to attend: Brennan, Clapper, Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch and FBI Director James B. Comey. Aides ordinarily allowed entry as “plus-ones” were barred.
Gradually, the circle widened to include Vice President Biden and others. Agendas sent to Cabinet secretaries — including John F. Kerry at the State Department and Ashton B. Carter at the Pentagon — arrived in envelopes that subordinates were not supposed to open. Sometimes the agendas were withheld until participants had taken their seats in the Situation Room.

From the linked article ----- Former Vice President Joe Biden was reportedly one of the few Obama administration officials who participated in secretive meetings during the early stages of the Obama-era intelligence community’s initial operations regarding suspected Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign. That tidbit was contained deep inside a 7,700-plus word Washington Post article published June 23, 2017 in which the newspaper also detailed the highly compartmentalized nature of the original Russia interference investigation and the manner in which other U.S. intelligence agencies were deliberately kept in the dark.

Biden is probably involved in a lot more... The billions to his son from China and Ukraine (and who knows where else?)
was no doubt distributed around to top people.
(A) Obama and Kerry did the shakedown,
(B) Biden pere and fils traveled to and fro to pick up the billions, and,
(C) they set up the money laundries to pay people off.
I also have a nagging suspicion that the Clinton Foundation was involved. Billybobo had that "pass-through" account.......
Money deposited in the AM was out by the PM without a trace. It could have gone anywhere: hedge fund, equity fund, offshore account, another foundation.....etc.
OMG...he's REALLY desperate. (H/T NY Post image)

Nunes: "He [Mueller] was so blatantly dishonest yesterday that he says, well, the Office of Legal Counsel says that you can’t indict a sitting president.
Well, he should have been gone after day two.
He has no Russians, except for the Fusion and Clinton Russians, and possibly the dirty cop, the FBI’s Russians, those are the only Russians that he has, to show connections to the Trump campaign.
Clearly, the Clinton operation is heavily working with Russians or Russian disinformation.
He didn’t take time to look into any of that[!]”

[Ranking Member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Devin] Nunes said Clinton's campaign and the DNC "plainly colluded" with the Russians to receive and disseminate false information about Trump"
Newly released notes from an Oct. 11, 2016, meeting between Steele and former [Hillary-Obama] Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec cast doubt on the reliability of his dossier and called into question the information provided to the court in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act application that was submitted later that month against onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
The notes, which Kavalec is believed to have emailed to the FBI in mid-October, indicate that Steele knew he had been hired by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee and had been told they wanted his findings made public prior to the 2016 election on Nov. 8.
The Daily Caller reported the notes show Steele identified Russian sources, including former Russian foreign intelligence director Vyacheslav Trubnikov and Vladislav Surkov, an aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Nunes said Clinton's campaign and the DNC "plainly colluded" with the Russians to receive and disseminate false information about Trump.

Conservative (patriot) commentator Dan Bongino, May 17, 2019...
"Thanks to recently released notes from an interview the State Department’s Kathleen Kavalec had with dossier author Christopher Steele, a possible bombshell connection between Halper and the dossier has been uncovered.
As discussed earlier in the week on the podcast, those notes also demonstrate Steele failing to keep his story straight between the State Department and FBI, proving how unreliable he is.
In Kavalec’s handwritten notes from their interview she makes note of two of Steele’s dossier sources; “Trubnikov” and “Surkov.”
Surkov is Vladislav Surkov, an aide of Vladimir Putin who is on the U.S.’s list of sanctioned individuals, and Trubnikov is Vyacheslav Trubnikov, who is currently the First Deputy of Foreign Minister of Russia and formally served as the Director of Foreign Intelligence Service.
Interestingly, Trubnikov is an associate of Halper. ..."

Vladislav Yuryevich Surkov (born 21 September 1964)[1] is a Russian businessman and politician of Chechen descent.[2]
He was First Deputy Chief of the Russian Presidential Administration from 1999 to 2011, during which time he was widely seen as the main ideologist of the Kremlin who proposed and implemented the concept of sovereign democracy in Russia.
From December 2011 until May 2013 Surkov served as the Russian Federation’s Deputy Prime Minister.[3][4]
After his resignation, Surkov returned to the Presidential Executive Office and became a personal adviser of Vladimir Putin on relationships with Abkhazia, South Ossetia and Ukraine.[5]
Surkov is perceived by many to be a key figure with much power and influence in the administration of Vladimir Putin.[6][7][8]
According to The Moscow Times, this perception is not dependent on the official title Surkov might hold at any one time in the Putin government.[9]
BBC documentary filmmaker Adam Curtis credits Surkov’s blend of theater and politics with keeping Putin, and Putin’s chosen successors, in power since 2000.[10]
Journalists in Russia and abroad have speculated that Surkov writes under the pseudonym Nathan Dubovitsky, although the Kremlin denies it.[11][12][13][14]

This guy is NOT qualified to be the leader of the free world!
It is exactly the opposite of what the Left has been pushing for the last two and a half years.
He is calling the Media and the Left liars, to their face.
There is nothing *wrong* with the statement. The statement directly contradicts the whole scam by the left against President Trump.
