More Illegal Deep State Spying on Trump Team? [Weekly Update]

Secret Service Destroyed Records of Alleged Biden Altercation with Agent

Secret Service Destroyed Records of Alleged Biden Altercation with Agent

There are a number of stories about Joe Biden and women, and Judicial Watch may have uncovered confirmation concerning one of these allegation.

That’s why Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security for records that the Secret Service claims to have destroyed related to a reported physical altercation between a Secret Service Agent and Joe Biden at a photo op in 2009 ( Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (No. 1:20-cv-02457)).

We sued after the Secret Service failed to respond to a July 14, 2020, administrative appeal challenging its claim that all files related to the 2009 altercation, “ha[d] been destroyed,” due to “retention standards.”

On March 29, 2020, the Gateway Pundit republished a 2017 report alleging that an unidentified Secret Service agent was suspended for a week in 2009 for “shoving Biden after he cupped his girlfriend’s breast while the couple was taking a photo with him.” “The situation got so heated … that others had to step in to prevent the agent from hitting the then-Vice President,” according to the report.

We followed up with a May, 2020 FOIA request for:

All records related to a reported incident in 2009 in which a United States Secret Service Agent reportedly was involved in an altercation with, or attempted to strike, then Vice President Joe Biden” during a photo opportunity.

The records sought shall include, but not be limited to, witness statements, the Agent’s statement, victim’s statement, alleged perpetrator’s statement, incident reports, investigative reports, communications among USSS personnel regarding the incident, and disciplinary records related to the incident for the Agent in question.

In a July 13, 2020 response to our request, the Secret Service appeared to confirm that a file on the alleged incident existed at some point, asserting, “[T]here are no responsive records or documents pertaining to your request in our files,” because “the above mentioned file(s) has been destroyed” due to “retention standards.” The Secret Service added that, “[n]o additional information is available.” It did not deny that the incident had occurred. In our lawsuit, we intend to test the Secret Service’s assertion that it destroyed all records about the incident.

So, was there a “groping” incident involving Biden that almost led to fisticuffs with a Secret Service agent?

We had not been able to confirm whether the report about the alleged altercation might be true until the Secret Service itself suggested it destroyed records about the incident. Stay tuned to this space – as I’ll report to you as further developments warrant!

State Dept Records Show US Embassy in Ukraine Monitored Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Donald Trump Jr., Rudy Giuliani, Journalists and other U.S. Citizens in Potential Violation of Federal Law

You may remember Marie Yovanovitch. She was the ambassador to Ukraine, first appointed by President Obama and then recalled by President Trump, who attacked Trump in the impeachment proceedings last year and for Joe Biden in the Democratic convention this year.

She was also the center of a lawsuit wefiledIn November 2019 seeking documents related to a reported “untouchables list” Yovanovitch gave in late 2016 to Ukraine Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko. Lutsenko told The New York Times that Yovanovitch “pressed him not to prosecute anti-corruption activists.”

Lutsenko reportedly said earlier the do-not-prosecute list included a founder of the Ukraine group Anti-Corruption Action Centre (AntAC), which was funded by Soros foundations and the U.S. federal government, and two members of the Ukrainian Parliament who vocally supported the Soros group’s agenda .

Is it any surprise that her embassy was busy monitoring the social media doings of Trump supporters and journalists — with her knowledge?

We just received 372 pages of records from the State Department confirming our prior, exclusive reporting that the Ukraine Embassy under Yovanovitch monitored, in potential violation of law, Donald Trump, Jr. Rudy Giuliani, and major journalists on Twitter on their commentary on Ukraine, “Biden-Burisma 2020”, and George Soros.

The documents list the targeted persons as Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Rudy Giuliani, Dan Bongino, Sebastian Gorka, John Solomon, Jack Posobiec, Ryan Saavedra, Sara A Carter, Donald Trump Jr., Michael McFaul, Lou Dobbs and Pamela Gellar. The search terms that were flagged to be monitored by State Department officials on social media included Yovanovitch, Ukraine Ambassador, Ukrainian Ambassador, Ukraine Soros, Clinton campaign, and Biden-Burisma.

The emails show that Yovanovitch was aware of the social media monitoring program.

Moreover, a State Department contractor warned his colleagues that their monitoring of private citizens was potentially in violation of the Privacy Act of 1974.

These documents confirm that Deep State officials at the Ukraine Embassy seemed to set up an enemies list to help illicitly monitor and report on the social media postings of President Trump’s family and lawyer, as well as journalists. The State Department hid these smoking gun documents for months.

Tom Fitton was on Lou Dobbs show tonight and was very pessimistic about about any indictments or even about the future of the election. More and more it is looking like the Marxists intend to win by any means and the wide open mail in balloting will be the vehicle, along with endless violence to overthrow the existing form of government in the US.

"Destruction of official records is against the law...."

......... According to the response the records had been destroyed,” due to “retention standards.” The records may have actually been dated past the date that was required to retain records.

Sensationalist headlines don’t help Fitton and JW here. The headline refers to the Deep State “Spying” on the Trump team, but what is described here involves people monitoring social media activity by Trump associates and media allies WHO POST THESE THINGS FOR THE WHOLE WORLD TO SEE.

Destruction of official records is against the law.

Democrats don't know of any law that they can't defy or violate, starting with the constitution. Obama and Bill Clinton, were constantly breaking all kinds of laws, and they got away with it.

Democrats intend to break all voter laws in the upcoming election, and they'll likely get away with it. Their motto is: we'll cross that bridge when they get to it. Once they've broken the laws, it's highly unlikely they'll be made to pay. Ask Killary and Bill C. and Obama and Pelosi and Biden.
