Hunter Biden remains in hot seat as Grassley and Johnson win reelection

The victorious reelection bids by Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) mean their ongoing investigations into Hunter Biden and their oversight of the FBI will continue, though how successful those efforts will be hinges on the yet-undetermined control of the Senate.

Grassley won his eighth term in the Senate by handily defeating his Democratic opponent, retired Navy Vice Adm. Mike Franken, while Johnson emerged the winner in a close race for his third term against Democratic Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes. Both had vowed in recent days to make the Hunter Biden inquiry and FBI accountability top priorities if reelected.

“Americans want the political bias out of the Department of Justice and the FBI,” Grassley said to applause during his Des Moines victory speech Tuesday night. “What they want is equal application of law.” The longtime Iowa senator was even more direct last week.

"So that you can have confidence in me if I'm reelected, I'm not going to give up on trying to get political bias out of the FBI, and I'm not going to give up on my investigation of Hunter Biden and other Bidens,” Grassley declared at a rally with former President Donald Trump on Thursday. “We follow the facts and we follow the money where it leads us — and there is plenty of money to follow.”

Johnson's race was called Wednesday hours after he put out a statement declaring that “this race is over.”

Johnson told the Washington Examiner last week: “Regarding Hunter and Biden family corruption, we will closely monitor the activity, or lack thereof, of the Justice Department’s ongoing investigation of their potential illegal activities. I will do everything I can to make sure the American public gets the full truth.”

Grassley and Johnson, who often team up, released a report on the Biden family’s finances in September 2020, and the duo has spent two years continuing to press the Justice Department on shortcomings in the Hunter Biden investigation, including raising whistleblower concerns.

... If Republicans win a Senate majority back from Democrats — difficult but not impossible as of Wednesday afternoon — Grassley would be expected to return as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, while Johnson would likely chair the subcommittee on investigations within the Senate Homeland Security Committee. The two have continued to investigate the Biden family even after the GOP lost the Senate majority in 2020.

Joe: “Son, my friends and I have decided the stress is getting high for you and we have lined up a vacation in the Republic of Vanuatu. Grab your luggage; we have a limo coming for you.”

Vanuatu has no extradition. It is an archipelago island country located in the South Pacific Ocean 1,090 miles east of northern Australia.and west of Fiji.

Grassley won. Good.

Early returns last nite on ABC had Grassley at 30% and opponent at 70%, and I thought is that the Grassley I know of?

Is he losing? So he didn’t, but darn, they shocked me.

Hunter doesn’t have to show up.

He will still go to prison.

Watchdog report: Hunter Biden’s laptop holds proof of AT LEAST 459 violations of the law
Not The Bee ^ | October 20, 2022 | Harris Rigby ·
Posted on 10/20/2022, 4:21:59 PM by Red Badger

Hunter Biden’s laptop has been dubbed the “Laptop from hell” for a reason.

A new watchdog group that has been digging into the data from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop for a year now and they have released a report of at least 459 crimes documented on Hunter’s computer.

From Daily Wire:

A year-long exploration of Hunter Biden’s laptop has yielded a 630-page report that its authors say document 459 violations of state and federal laws and regulations by President Joe Biden’s son and his business partners.

Marco Polo, a nonprofit formed by a one-time aide to former President Trump to enable a team of cyber gumshoes to take a deep dive into the laptop that the crack-addled Biden left at a Delaware repair store, claims the report is a road map for local, state, or federal prosecutors to pursue charges. The group also sent its report to each member of Congress.

No wonder the FBI worked with big tech to silence and hide the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election.

This is terrible for the Biden family.

The team put together by Garrett Ziegler, Marco Polo’s 26-year-old founder, has mined the laptop with digital savvy, and produced a thorough report that is anything but vague or superficial, weighing in at 1 gigabyte because of the number of screenshots from the laptop.

“I’ve been focusing on this for 13 months,” Ziegler told The Daily Wire. “It was really a thing of necessity. I recognized how rich the material was. It requires utter focus. It is so hard to write something comprehensive about it and do anything else on the side.”

“There’s been some phenomenal writing so far on the sex and degeneracy,” he added, but “The focus of the report is on crimes … I had a compulsion to log every crime, even the state-level statutes. The mission is simple: Hold Republicans’ feet to the fire. We don’t want to hear that Republicans need another year to do an investigation. I’ve done that here.”

This goes beyond the simple sex scandals and drug addiction issues. There are documented crimes evidenced by the laptop and nothing has been done about it.

The report, which reviewed the laptop’s emails, videos, calendar items, photographs, phone records, financial documents and more, but also provided context and explanation, serves as a “Rosetta Stone of white- and blue-collar crime under the patina of ‘the Delaware Way,’” the report says. “We were able to illuminate previously convoluted network webs of the people leading the charge for global governance,” cutting through shell companies and middlemen.”

Crimes Hunter Biden allegedly committed include serving as an agent for foreign entities without disclosing it, tax fraud, and falsifying business documents. The alleged crimes also include prostitution, non-consensual pornography, and distribution of narcotics.

Do they really expect the Just Us dept to investigate themselves or their fellow travelers?

If you have been following the saga of Hunter’s Laptop from Hell, you will know that we are now in Phase Two of the coverup. In Phase One you were told that the laptop was the creation of the Russians designed to sabotage Joe Biden’s campaign for President. That lie has now collapsed, so in Phase Two we are being told that whatever Hunter was up to, it has nothing to do with Joe. Hunter may have spent his time up to his eyeballs in hookers and blow and kept company with a lot of unsavory characters, but Joe knew nothing about any of it.

“I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” Biden insisted in 2019. Essentially saying “There is no family enterprise.”

It is funny then that the contents of Hunter’s laptop do not jive at all with that characterization. On the contrary, the laptop is filled with documents and emails which make perfectly clear that Hunter and Joe worked closely together, commingled funds, and operated largely as a team. As noted in the tweet above, a close Hunter Biden business associate Tony Bobulinski has gone on record stating “I have heard Joe Biden say that he’s never discussed business with Hunter. That is false.”

A case in point would be the intelligence briefings shared with Hunter by the Office of the Vice President. Over a period of what appears to be years, a daily intelligence briefing prepared for Joe Biden was forwarded to Hunter and several other members of the Biden family. When this practice began is unclear.

The documents reviewed so far appear to have been from the period after Joe left the White House. They were sent by a woman named Kathy Chung.

GOP control of the Senate and House should mean:

1) Hearings on the laptop
2) Hearings on Fauxi
3) Hearings on Pelosi’s refusal of 10,000 troops

And other issues (SPR draw down,student loan forgiveness,etc)

Every state capital (and college town),even those of “red” states,are overrun with leftist scum. That 30% figure was probably from Des Moines.
