  • SUPERCUT: Matt Gaetz—Trump's Attorney General Pick—Grills AG Garland At Judiciary Hearings (video with formatted transcript)

    11/13/2024 4:17:45 PM PST · by RoosterRedux · 27 replies
    "Attorney General, you've told us that it's a dangerous conspiracy theory to allege that the Department of Justice is communicating with these state and local prosecutions against Trump. You can clear it all up for us right now. Will the Department of Justice provide to the committee all documents, all correspondence between the department and Alvin Bragg's office, Fani Willis's office, and Letitia James's office?" "The offices you're referring to are independent offices of the state." "I get that, I get that. The question is whether or not you will provide all of your documents and correspondence. That's the question....

    Washington — President Biden told Americans he's "not going away" after leaving the Oval Office in January, saying he plans to continue his foreign and domestic policy work. The president made the comment during an appearance on ABC's "The View" on Wednesday morning in New York City. As he prepares to leave the White House following decades in public office, Mr. Biden said he will continue to work on domestic policy matters with the University of Delaware's Biden Institute and foreign policy matters with the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement in Washington, D.C. Both programs were established...
  • The Justice Department Makes The Case Against Hunter Biden . . . and Itself in California

    Special Counsel David Weiss appears to have finally made the long-awaited case exposing years of concealment and political corruption. No, it is not the case against Hunter Biden. The allegations of tax fraud in California are obvious and unavoidable. Weiss just made the case against the Justice Department and himself in protecting Hunter Biden from the most damaging charges of being an unregistered foreign agent. In a new filing, Weiss released evidence on Hunter seeking money to advance the interests of a Romanian on United States policy. I have previously testified on the Foreign Agents Registration Act and have previously...

    It just keeps getting better and better for Joe Biden. That is, if by "better," we mean "disastrous." Think about it. There was mumbling Joe, bumbling and fumbling along, ever propped up by the flying monkeys of the liberal media who were always on the alert to knock down any accusation or negative story about the dazed and confused 81-year-old president. Then, on June 27, the debate debacle hit the fan. Since then, Biden's campaign and what's left of his dumpster-fire political career have swirled down the toilet faster than Michael Moore could inhale a sack of Quarter Pounders with...
  • Hunter’s Conviction Is A Fig Leaf To Cover The Biden Family’s More Serious Crimes

    The verdict ‘is functionally irrelevant because the corrupt Biden [administration] has already proven that the entire justice system is rigged.’Hunter Biden was found guilty Tuesday on three federal gun charges, but his conviction is no victory for the rule of law. The trial sidestepped the most serious allegations against Biden — and their implications for his president father — while teeing up talking points for Biden supporters to insist the justice system is fair after the left brazenly weaponized the justice system to target former President Donald Trump.President Joe Biden’s son was found guilty of lying on application paperwork while...

    New York Sun ^ | 04/29/2024 | Matthewe Rice
    The president’s brother, James Biden, will likely receive renewed focus from the fledgling House impeachment inquiry following disclosures about his involvement with Qatari government officials and his attempts to gain access to the country’s sovereign wealth fund. James Biden — who has already appeared for a transcribed interview with the impeachment investigators — has been scrutinized for more than a year due to his decades-long career as a lobbyist. The first brother has made tens of millions of dollars over the years by working for the tobacco and healthcare industries, among other ventures. His foray into Qatar and its sovereign...

    Galanis also told investigators that Joe Biden called in to meetings Hunter Biden organized with the Burnham partners and funders, which included Yelena Baturina, her late husband Yuri Luzhkov, the former mayor of Moscow, and Devon Archer. "It was clear to me this was a pre-arranged call with his father meant to impress the Russian investors that Hunter had access to his father and all the power and prestige of his position,” Galanis said of the phone call. After House Democrats this week argued that the impeachment inquiry led by the House Oversight Committee was “essentially" over, as Maryland Democratic...

    Real Clear Investigations ^ | December 11, 2023 | Paul Sperry
    Trouble has followed Sara Catherine Jones since she married into the Biden family almost three decades ago. Not long after her 1995 wedding to Jim Biden, she took a job with one of his brother Joe’s Senate donors, who later accused her of “fraud” and “unjust enrichment,” according to court records reviewed by RealClearInvestigations. In the years since, she and her husband have been accused of reneging on debts and failing to pay their taxes, court and property records show. Like their nephew, first son Hunter Biden, they have reportedly sold the promise of access to their powerful relative to...

    Below is my column in The Hill on the expected formal vote this week on the impeachment inquiry. The vote is only to continue to look into the allegations that Joe Biden knew of the influence peddling operation of his family and fostered those efforts. The final line of defense is to acknowledge that this was influence peddling but that Biden was only trying to support his son. The question for this vote is: how do you know? We have millions raised in what most view as corrupt influence peddling. Many of those payments are now confirmed by the Justice...

    The Federalist ^ | 12/08/23 | Tristan Justice
    Special Counsel David Weiss unveiled nine federal tax-related charges against Hunter Biden on Thursday more than four months after a plea deal was derailed by a federal judge. The Biden son will return to court facing three new felony charges and six misdemeanor counts relating to tax evasion and filing false returns, but he will escape penalties related to foreign influence-peddling that involves his father in the White House. Unsurprisingly, Weiss refuses to charge Hunter for foreign influence-peddling, registered foreign agent violations, or anything related to the Biden family’s Burisma shakedown when Joe Biden was Vice President.Weiss pretends to crack...

    The House Oversight Committee issued three subpoenas on Wednesday for President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, his brother, James Biden, and a Biden family business associate, Rob Walker. These are three of the most consequential subpoenas that House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has filed during his investigation. The subpoenas are for depositions for testimony related to the House GOP's ongoing impeachment inquiry. Hunter Biden and James Biden are centerpieces of Comer’s investigation into Biden and his family’s overseas business. Through their investigation, they have found that Hunter Biden received millions from foreign oligarchs and companies. Walker was a business...

At least 861 emails were sent or received by the Office of the Vice President during the period of time between January of 2011 and December of 2013, and over 200 more emails remain hidden due to the Biden...

    “The Bidens are the best at doing exactly what Chairman wants.” That WhatsApp message to a Chinese business associate was the perfect epitaph for the entire Biden corruption scandal. Part of the brilliance of the Biden influence peddling operation was to invest the media in the denial of any scandal. That is no more evident than the much discussed 2015 dinner of President Joe Biden with his son’s foreign associates. The alleged dinner demolished Joe Biden’s long denials of any knowledge of his son’s dealings. Accordingly, the Biden campaign denied he ever attended and the media happily dismissed the account....

    Proving pay-for-play influence peddling can be a tricky thing, but House Oversight Committee James Comer, R-Ky., sounds confident he can make the walls close in on President Joe Biden. "We have six different policy decisions — four of which were made while Biden was president — that we can't come to any other conclusion as to why these decisions were made other than the fact that this president is compromised," Comer told "The Cats Roundtable." "This family's taken too much money from the Chinese Communist Party not to completely join the majority of Americans in trying to oppose the Chinese...
