Indictment-O-Rama

“Pam Bondi’s era —which paved the way by restructuring the DOJ and navigating the Epstein disclosures— is over. We’re in the Blanche era now.”—Jeff Childers

You might be pleased to know that today’s May Day street actions — rallies, marches, teach-ins, walkouts, demonstrations, and a broad economic blackout (”No Work, No School, No Shopping”) — planned and coordinated by hundreds of activist orgs, is styling itself as “Workers Over Billionaires.”

How do they figure that, exactly, considering the Lefty-left Resistance movement is entirely funded by. . . billionaires? You know. . . George and Alex Soros (the Open Society Foundations), Neville Roy Singham (the People’s Forum, Code Pink), Hansjörg Wyss (the Wyss Foundation), Reid Hoffman (Forward Majority Action, Crowdpac), Sir Chris Hohn (the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation), Alan Parker (Arabella Advisors, Environmental Law Institute) . . . .

Some 3,000-plus actions are planned today in cities all over the country. Last week, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries framed the Lefty-left’s strategy as “maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time.” Will the party’s foot soldiers do his bidding and get frisky out on the streets today. . . a little lootin’ perhaps. . . a fire here and there? Is May Day, as promised by its sponsors, the gateway into another Summer of Love (mostly peaceful riots)?

We’ll have an idea by day’s end. Meanwhile, the Lefty-left’s business-class lounge, the Democratic Party, has suddenly caught a case of the jim-jams over this week’s 6-3 SCOTUS ruling on the racial gerrymandering of Congressional districts, which is: no more snake-shaped districts through the bayous, cotton fields, pine Islands, palmetto scrubs, and Cypress hammocks of deepest Dixieland for the purpose of creating majority-black seats. Observers forecast the loss of up to nineteen Democratic House members going into the 2028 election. It’s not clear how the Party’s billionaires might be able to fix this.

Also, this week, interesting developments in the Lefty-left’s retirement clubhouse. The law (the DOJ’s Eastern District of North Carolina) finally caught up with Jim Comey’s prank of one year ago when he posted on Instagram a curious arrangement of seashells on a Carolina beach saying “86 47.” The cryptic message — “cool shell formation,” Mr. Comey said in the caption — was universally understood to mean get rid of the forty-seventh POTUS, Donald Trump. Because the former FBI Director was well-versed in mob lingo from prosecuting gangsters, it appears he knew exactly what the code stands for: the instruction to go whack somebody. Hence, the question: was Mr. Comey issuing such an instruction to the Lefty-left rank and file?

Mr. Comey suddenly finds himself in a sort of brand-new crossfire hurricane. Turns out, an investigation (said to be at the “pre grand jury stage”) was launched lately in the DOJ’s Eastern District of Virginia concerning Mr. Comey’s use of a “cut-out” messenger, Columbia U professor and BFF Daniel Richman, for leaking a confidential conversation with President Trump to reporter Michael Schmidt of The New York Times back in 2017. This was Mr. Comey’s notorious disclosure in a Trump Tower consultation with the new president that a video existed of Russian whores peeing on a bed in the Moscow Ritz-Carlton hotel for Mr. Trump’s amusement. It was, of course, a kick-off for the FBI’s totally fake RussiaGate campaign.

It’s also widely expected that the former FBI Director will be one of the many former officials fingered in the DOJ’s RICO case out of the Southern District of Florida. The grand jury is already seated and hearing the evidence in a Fort Pierce federal courthouse. That case is predicated on the chain of legal attacks against Mr. Trump, running back a decade, amounting to an ongoing coup, a comprehensive campaign of legalistic chicanery disguised as legality designed to overthrow the chief executive.

Observers have started trying to pre-bunk the seashell case, saying there are six ways to Sunday that Mr. Comey can explain it away. Don’t be so sure about that. Mainly, what the DOJ has to demonstrate is Mr. Comey’s mens rea (Latin for “guilty mind”), a fundamental concept in criminal law that refers to the mental state or intention a person must have when committing a nefarious act, in order to be held criminally liable. Expect to see bales of written evidence on that.

The beauty of the seashell case is this: It’s quite straightforward and uncomplicated. There might be little room for Mr. Comey’s lawyers to create procedural delays, such as dragging out discovery issues. Which means that in this case Mr. Comey will get exactly the speedy trial that the US Constitution calls for. . . meaning, the courtroom showdown could take place before the midterm election.

On Tuesday, David M. Morens, a former senior adviser to Anthony Fauci at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), was indicted in Maryland for his role in the Covid-19 operation, including conspiracy against the United States, destruction / alteration / falsification of records in federal investigations, concealment / removal / mutilation of records, and aiding and abetting — all in the effort to evade and obfuscate the true origin of the virus as subbed out clandestinely by NIAID to the Wuhan Virology Lab. Two unindicted co-conspirators were named: 1) Peter Daszak, president and CEO of EcoHealth Alliance, the New York nonprofit that received the NIH bat coronavirus grant and sub-awarded work to the Wuhan lab; and 2) Gerald Keusch, a physician, scientist, and professor affiliated with the Boston University Schools of Medicine and Public Health, described as participating in the back-channel communications and related efforts to confound the public about Covid’s origins.

Do not suppose that these indictments are anywhere near the end of what will be rolled out as a vast panorama of seditious perfidy by scores of former public officials. Yet to come are matters such as 2020 rigged election shenanigans. . . the fake Adam Schiff / Norm Eisen / Eric Ciaramella / Mary McCord impeachment #1. . . the fed-provoked J-6 fake Capitol “insurrection” . . . the House fake J-6 investigation (and destruction of evidence) . . . the fake special counsel Jack Smith monkey business . . . and the occult doings of the Clintons and their fabulous ka-ching machine, the Clinton Foundation.

Yeah, Iran. . . yet lurking in the background. Obviously, it’s come down to a waiting game. It’s liable to be a pretty short wait. So, wait for it.

Pam Bondi conducted the Comey investigation starting 9-11 months ago.

She restructured the DOJ according to the requirements of MAGA.

Bondi did a lot of work, cleaned up a lot of bad guys, much evidence on the government gangsters, etc. She did what President Trump wanted her to do. N

For decades, criminal democrat elites have avoided investigation, interrogation, indictment and judgement that puts them in prison. The obstacles are many: The dem party, corporate media, billionaire democrat oligarchs, RINOs, liberal education industry, democrat justices .... all have served to protect criminal democrat elites.

One republican AG after another has failed to convict democrat criminals, which include but are not limited to: Obama, Holder, McCabe, Clapper, Strzok Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Comey, Schiff .......

Yes, Brenner and Comey have been charged. I will be surprised if either goes to prison.

Kabuki theater performed in Congress and our Courts is getting old.

No, she was “fired”, we don’t know what her communications with President Trump were, but she did her job, and he praised her work when she left.

Sorry all, but the seashell case won’t amount to a hill of beans and will be dismissed early on.
Don’t have a cow anyone, it’s just my opinion.

This guy? The formerly Trump hating democrat Todd Blanche? This is just a smokescreen.

The indictment covers far more than the silly “sea shell case”. Comey is in trouble.

That’s the least of what Comey has done.

Does anybody seriously think there’s a grand jury anywhere on the East Coast that would indict, much less convict any democrat?

A lot of necessary DOJ restructuring went on during Bondi.
