September 13, 2023 - House Oversight Committee: 20 examples of Joe Biden’s involvement in his family’s influence peddling schemes

There is mounting evidence that Joe Biden was involved in his family’s influence peddling schemes, including while he served as Vice President. However, Democrats and their corporate media allies continue to ignore this overwhelming evidence as they seek to distract the American people from the Biden family’s corruption. Below are over 20 examples of Joe Biden’s involvement.

1) In July 2023, former Biden business associate Devon Archer described how Joe Biden was “The Brand” and was used to send “signals” of power, access, and influence to enrich the Biden family from foreign sources.

2) Devon Archer alone was aware of at least 20 times in which then-Vice President Biden spoke on speakerphone with Hunter Biden’s foreign business associates. Democrats would have Americans believe that these phone calls with then-Vice President Biden were simply to discuss the weather.

3) In February 2014, then-Vice President Joe Biden dined with oligarchs from Russia and Kazakhstan who funneled millions of dollars to Hunter Biden and his business associates.

4) In April 2015, then-Vice President Biden dined with Hunter Biden’s foreign business associates, including Ukrainian Burisma executive Vadym Pozharsky. Burisma was then being investigated by Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin for corruption.

5) Then-Vice President Biden had coffee with Hunter Biden’s Chinese business associate, Jonathan Li of BHR, in Beijing and wrote a college letter of recommendation for his daughter.

6) In 2015, then-Vice President Biden hosted Hunter Biden and Devon Archer and other business associates at the official residence of the Vice President. The topic of discussion was filling the top seat at the United Nations. The Kazakhstani government official who wanted the U.N. position attended both dinners at Café Milano with then-Vice President Biden.

7) Using the pseudonym “Robert L. Peters,” Vice President Biden was informed by his staff of a call in 2016 with President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko. Copied on that official email? Hunter Biden, who was sitting on the board of the Ukrainian company Burisma.

8) On December 4, 2015, Biden business associate Eric Schwerin wrote to Kate Bedingfield in the Office of the Vice President providing quotes to use in response to media outreach regarding Hunter Biden’s role in Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company. Later that day, Ms. Bedingfield responded to Mr. Schwerin saying, “VP signed off on this[.]” According to Devon Archer, after a Burisma board of directors meeting in Dubai on the evening of December 4, 2015, Hunter Biden “called D.C.” to discuss pressure that Burisma asked him to relieve.

9) In May 2017, James Gilliar, a Biden family associate, emailed Hunter Biden and other associates to formalize how they would divide the profit from their deal with CEFC, a Chinese Communist Party linked energy company. Gilliar indicated Joe Biden would receive 10 percent, which has been confirmed by former Biden family associate, Tony Bobulinski.

10) On May 20, 2017, James Gilliar told Tony Bobulinksi, another business associate, “Don’t mention Joe being involved, it’s only when u are face to face[.] I know u know that but they are paranoid[.]”

September 14, 2023 - Hunter Biden is indicted on three gun charges

(Credit: Inside Edition)

Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, has been indicted on felony gun charges in Delaware, according to a partially redacted court filing by Department of Justice (DOJ) special counsel David Weiss.

Biden was indicted Thursday on three counts for providing false statements and knowingly possessing the gun while he was addicted to drugs, in connection with the acquisition of a Colt Cobra revolver in October 2018, the indictment states. He faces a maximum prison sentence of ten years for the first and third offenses, with the second offense holding a maximum of five years, according to a defendant information sheet.

“Robert Hunter Biden, provided a written statement on Form 4473 certifying that he was not an unlawful user of, and addicted to, any stimulant narcotic drug, and any other controlled substance, when in fact, as he knew, the statement was false and fictitious,” the indictment reads. (Read more: The Daily Caller, 9/14/2023) (Archive)

Jonathan Turley breaks down the ‘conspicuous’ elements of the indictment:

“It’s conspicuous, as you’ve noted, as Chairman Comer noted, as to what was not charged. They were giving out FARA charges against Trump officials with great speed and alacrity. You know, they hit Paul Manafort with charges based on the same facts,” Turley told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “What the media is ignoring is these uncharged crimes do have one common possible motive. When you don’t declare yourself a foreign agent, when you don’t declare income, when you create these questionable international transfers, all of them can be effectively succeed in hiding that trail.”

“If you declare income, you got to say where the income came from. If you declare yourself a foreign agent, you have to explain what you’re doing for foreign governments and if you create this labyrinth of accounts through different shell companies and through different banks, it makes it hard for people to see those transfers,” Turley continued. “All of that fits a unified theory of an influence peddling scheme that involved potential criminal acts so I think it’s rather obvious that the one outlier, the gun charge, is the only thing that has been charged.”

September 14, 2023 - Fired FBI agent, Peter Strzok, wants an FBI unit to protect agents from Americans

Disgraced FBI agent Peter Strzok, who now spreads disinformation on MSNBC, wants an FBI unit to protect agents from Americans. They already have all the power they need since they weaponized the department, but nonetheless, he wants more power to go after Americans. This shows you how dangerous a national police force is. He has the same idea your ordinary dictator has had.

Nicole Wallace is a partisan activist who sows anti-Republican discontent nightly on MSNBC. She thinks Americans terrorize the FBI. This is as the Biden administration terrorizes Americans. So ironic.

Wallace held a panel discussion, and one of the guests was the mundane, reliably anti-Republican Strzok. Mr. Strzok said we need a special unit to protect FBI agents from Americans.

“In my opinion, we’re not doing enough. I mean, look, when push comes to shove, absolutely, the FBI and DOJ need to band together and protect their personnel to allow them to do their job. They’re going to do it, but they need to be able to do it without fear for their lives. When the FBI was fighting Al Capone, there was not a unit dedicated to protecting FBI personnel, and the FBI was fighting organized crime families in New York and all around the US. There was not a unit dedicated to protecting FBI personnel.”

The FBI and DOJ classify everyday Americans, like parents at board meetings, as domestic terrorists. They call J6 rioters terrorists. This is who he’s talking about, along with Republican congressmen.

September 2023 - Ex FBI agent, Timothy Thibault, testifies FBI received evidence from second informant (Schweizer) in Biden case, but was labeled as disinformation and shut down

A retired FBI supervisor has revealed to Congress that the bureau’s Washington field office had a second “politically connected” informant providing information relevant to the Biden family investigation, but was asked to shut down the source in the fall of 2020 shortly before Joe Biden was elected president, Just the News has learned.

Retired Special Agent Timothy Thibault, the former No. 2 supervisor in the FBI’s Washington field office, told the House Judiciary Committee last week in a transcribed interview he was somewhat taken aback when he received the request from the lead agent in the Hunter Biden tax case in October 2020 to shut down the confidential human source (CHS).

“It shocked me a bit because I’m, like, the purpose of – a confidential informant is to support a case,” Thibault told investigators in portions of a transcript reviewed by Just the News.

Thibault did not further identify the source in his testimony, but best-selling author Peter Schweizer told Just the News Sunday that he believes he is the person described in the transcript based on past comments from Thibault and after The New York Times recently suggested the FBI had received information in the Hunter Biden case from a “right-wing author.”

Schweizer said the FBI approached him and he provided to agents evidence about possible criminality in fall 2020. He said there was no politics involved, just facts and he pushed back on the narrative of the Times, noting its journalists reported on the Hillary Clinton-funded Steele dossier submitted to the FBI in 2016.

“There are no ‘right wing facts’ or ‘left wing facts.’ There are only facts,” he said. “And of course they happily accepted the unsubstantiated and unsourced dossier from Hillary Clinton’s lawyer without reservation.”

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan summoned Thibault for the interview as he investigates allegations that U. S. Attorney, David Weiss and is team did not follow normal investigative procedures when probing Hunter Biden and his family’s overseas business dealings.

Thibault retired after revelations he had made anti-Trump posts on social media while an agent, and has been a target of sharp criticism from some Republicans, including Sen. Charles Grassley, (R-Iowa). (Read more: Just the News, 9/17/2023)  (Archive)

September 15, 2023 - House Judiciary Committee subpoenas FBI agent who allegedly lied about Hunter Biden laptop

Chan told the media the 2020 election was the most secure election in history. He added, “People are trying to dispel the disinformation and misinformation that is going on that there are things happening with the election. We don’t see any credible threats at this point.” (Credit: Fox News)

The House Judiciary Committee is sending a subpoena to FBI agent Elvis Chan Friday after the Department of Justice (DOJ) blocked him from testifying in front of the committee about the bureau’s response to the Hunter Biden laptop story, according to a letter obtained by the Daily Caller.

Chan was expected to testify to the House Judiciary over his involvement with the FBI’s pressure on social media companies to censor the Hunter Biden laptop archive and false statements he appeared to make in November 2022 testimony for the ongoing Missouri v. Biden censorship lawsuit.

He volunteered to interview in front of the committee with his personal counsel, according to the letter. Chan’s interview did not end up taking place because the Department of Justice (DOJ) brought agency counsel to the interview, despite Chan’s decision to be represented by his personal counsel. Witnesses cannot be represented by agency counsel and personal counsel during interviews, per committee rules.

The Daily Mail first reported on the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) effort to shut down his testimony by bringing an agency counsel to his interview.

“Today, after an FBI employee traveled across the country to voluntarily participate in a scheduled interview, he was denied the right to have his chosen legal counsel accompany him,” the FBI said in a statement to the Daily Caller. “Upon arrival at the Capitol, Committee staff directed agency counsel to leave the premises, and the interview was unable to proceed.”

Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, shared internal Facebook documents in August showing that Chan lied during his previous testimony about his meetings with tech companies regarding the Hunter Biden laptop.

“Internal FB docs reveal that an FBI Special Agent made false statements in testimony about the FBI’s role in the suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story,” Jordan tweeted.

Elvis Chan was the conduit between the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) and social media platforms ahead of the 2020 presidential election, according to internal documents known as the “Twitter files” and the House Judiciary Committee.

Chan and FITF Section Chief Laura Dehmlow met with Facebook on Oct. 14, 2020, when the Hunter Biden laptop story broke in the New York Post, she testified in July. The FBI told Facebook “no comment” on whether the laptop was real, despite their knowledge that the laptop archive was real. Hunter Biden’s laptop contents have been verified by the Daily Caller News Foundation, The New York Times, The Washington Post and other media outlets.

September 18, 2023 - DOJ gives Ray Epps the James Wolfe treatment – charged with one misdemeanor count; Judge Boasberg presides

Ray Epps whispers in Ryan Samsel’s ear who then carries out a breach of the police barricades on January 6, 2021. (Credit: public domain)

The man who was seen on multiple video tapes urging the January 6th crowd to storm the Capitol building, the previously well-known agent provocateur Ray Epps, has been charged by the DOJ with one misdemeanor count of “Disorderly or Disruptive Conduct.”

Worse still, the announcement from Main Justice comes via the format of an “information” {SEE HERE} which implies a plea deal was already reached as the charge was made public.  Now the DOJ can say they ‘arrested‘ the guy, and simultaneously flip the narrative as evidence he wasn’t a confidential human source.

This velvet glove arrangement bears striking similarity to the DOJ approach when Senate Intelligence Committee head of security, James Wolfe, leaked the Top-Secret Carter Page FISA application, and was only charged with one count of lying to the FBI about it. {Go Deep} But wait… it gets better.  The pre-selected DC judge is none other than, James Boasberg. {Go Deep}  You just can’t make this stuff up folks.

WASHINGTON — Ray Epps, a Jan. 6 participant whose removal from the FBI’s Capitol Violence webpage sparked conspiracy theories that he was a federal informant, was charged in connection with the Capitol attack on Tuesday.

Epps is charged with one misdemeanor count, disorderly or disruptive conduct on restricted grounds. He was charged by information, suggesting that he plans to enter a plea deal. Not long after he was charged, a virtual plea agreement hearing was set for Wednesday, Sept. 20 before Chief Judge James Boasberg. (read more)

He doesn’t even have to show up in court for the DOJ to have Judge Boasberg rubber stamp the issue.

September 19, 2023 - DHS Mayorkas appoints primary Trump-Russia conspiracy agents as “expert group” to identify domestic terrorists and disinformation

If you put the individual names within this group in the search bar, you will discover their connection.  Most of them were the primary background operatives who pushed the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy in ’16, ’17, ’18 and ’19.

With names like James Clapper (DNI), John Brennan (CIA), Tashina Guahar (DOJ-NSD), David Kris (DOJ-NSD, FISA), Paul Kolbe (CIA) and Benjamin Wittes (Lawfare), what you will find is that this specific group are functionaries of the corrupt intelligence apparatus that framed the Trump-Russia collusion nonsense.  This is the team now that will define for DHS how to focus their future targeting efforts.

WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas, Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) Ken Wainstein, and Counterterrorism Coordinator Nicholas Rasmussen announced the establishment of the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group (Experts Group). The group is comprised of private sector experts who will provide their unique perspectives on the federal government’s intelligence enterprise to DHS’s I&A and the Office of the Counterterrorism Coordinator.

“The security of the American people depends on our capacity to collect, generate, and disseminate actionable intelligence to our federal, state, local, territorial, tribal, campus, and private sector partners,” said Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro N. Mayorkas. “I express my deep gratitude to these distinguished individuals for dedicating their exceptional expertise, experience, and vision to our critical mission.”

“The Homeland Intelligence Experts Group is being formed at a time of unprecedented challenge, with the U.S. intelligence enterprise facing threats from a range of malign actors, to include foreign nation-state adversaries, domestic violent extremists, cyber criminals, drug-trafficking cartels and other transnational criminal organizations,” said Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis Ken Wainstein. “The Experts Group will be an invaluable asset as we navigate through this evolving threat and operating environment and continue to strengthen our efforts to protect the Homeland.”

“The homeland threat environment is more diverse, dynamic, and challenging than at any point in our post 9/11 history, with threats tied to an array of different terrorist and violent extremist ideologies and narratives,” said Counterterrorism Coordinator Nicholas Rasmussen. “The experience, expertise, and perspective offered by Experts Group members will undoubtedly put the Department in a strong position to confront this threat landscape, and we are grateful for the willingness of the Experts Group members to serve in this important capacity.”

The Experts Group will provide DHS with a wide range of views and perspectives, with a membership that includes former senior intelligence officials, journalists, and prominent human rights and civil liberties advocates. (read more)

Keep in mind, the organization of this group follows the announcement that DHS will be launching online “Enhanced AI” to assist the government in combating  information they deem dangerous to national security.   Put the two together, and I think we can see who will be doing the “defining” of what constitutes “dangerous”.

You will notice I use the term “definition” quite often.  That is because the root of every control mechanism is grounded upon defining things.  When you accept the terms ‘disinformation’, ‘misinformation’, and/or ‘malinformation’, you are buying into the process that permits definitions to determine your travel. Those who define both you and your destination, ultimately control your online experience.

Pay very, very close attention to the two underlined words in the following paragraph:

Take out the word “improper” and the admission is, DHS uses AI to profile, target and discriminate.  In the second sentence, DHS currently participates in systemic, indiscriminate and/or large-scale monitoring, surveillance, or tracking of individuals.  The only thing those sentences in the paragraph say, is that DHS will not allow AI to create improper outcomes within a system that already exists.

The assembly of a Homeland Intelligence Experts Group gives us the names of those who will be organizing the definitions.

Do not get alarmed, get informed. (Conservative Treehouse, 9/19/2023)  (Archive)

September 20, 2023 - Former Capitol Police Chief Sund testifies he had 3 calls with Pelosi on Jan. 6 and has the proof – Pelosi said they never spoke

A House Oversight Subcommittee hearing with former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven A. Sund, September 19, 2023. (Credit: Cspan clipping)

On Tuesday, the House Administration Subcommittee on Oversight held a hearing titled, “Oversight of United States Capitol Security: Assessing Security Failures on January 6, 2021.”

Rep. Barry Loudermilk heads the subcommittee. Former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven A. Sund testified before the committee.

Chief Steven Sund has been outspoken of Nancy Pelosi and her failures to secure the US Capitol that day.

It has been widely reported that President Trump asked for the National Guard three days in advance of January 6. But Pelosi turned him down.  She refused to call in the National Guard despite numerous warnings of possible violence.

Pelosi then refused to turn over information about her culpability in the security breakdown during the Jan. 6 riot for over a year to congressional investigators.

Steven A. Sund, the Capitol Police chief on that fateful day, not only confirms her culpability along with the rest of the Democratic leadership. Sund reported that Pelosi utilized him as a scapegoat and forced him to step down as Police Chief. We all know now she was just trying to obfuscate her own responsibility for the attack.

The day after January 6, Nancy Pelosi blamed Chief Sund for the security failures that day.  Pelosi insisted she never spoke with Chief Sund the entire day.

On Tuesday Chief Steven Sund refuted Pelosi. Sund told the subcommittee he spoke with Pelosi three times on January 6 (while she was running the building with her film crew.)

Rep. Bryan Steil: Chief Sund, in your transcribed interview, you mentioned that you met with the House Sergeant at Arms regarding the National Guard prior to January 6. Is that correct?

Chief Sund: Yes, sir.

Rep. Steil: And who is the House Sergeant Arms leading up to and on January 6?

Chief Sund: That would be Paul Irving.

Rep. Steil: And the House Sergeant Arms is appointed. By who?

Chief Sund: He was appointed at that time by Speaker Pelosi.

Rep. Steil: And in your transcribed interview, you mentioned that when you first brought up the National Guard to the House Sergeant at Arms in the days leading up to January 6, that Mr. Irving said he, quote, “didn’t like the optics,” end quote, is that correct?

Chief Sund: That is correct. He referenced being concerned for optics.

Rep. Steil: And on January 6, when he went to Mr. Irving to get his approval to call in the Guard, mr. Irving said he would, quote, run it up the chain. Is that correct?

Chief Sund: Sir. That was a telephone call. I didn’t see him in person when I first made that request.

Rep. Steil: The House Sergeant Arms is considered probably the most senior security official on the House side. When Mr. Irving says he has to, quote, run it up the chain, end quote, what did that mean?

Chief Sund: I took that to mean his leadership chain.

Rep. Steil: And who would be his leadership chain? He’s functionally the most senior security official on the House side, correct?

Chief Sund: Yes, sir. That was a telephone call. I didn’t see him in person when I first made that request.

Rep. Steil: The House Sergeant Arms is considered probably the most senior security official on the House side. When Mr. Irving says he has to, quote, run it up the chain, end quote, what did that mean?

Chief Sund: I took that to mean his leadership chain.

Rep. Steil:  And who would be his leadership chain? He’s functionally the most senior security official on the House side, correct?

Chief Sund: That’s his title. That’s part of the title. The senior law enforcement official for the House of Representatives. But he would have been referring to the leadership team that goes up to Speaker Pelosi.

Rep. Steil: So the political leadership team, meaning elected officials, not another security official, is that.

Chief Sund: That is correct, sir. He’s the top security official for the House.

Rep. Steil: So running up the chain would most likely, in your opinion, is through the Speaker’s office and possibly to Speaker Pelosi?

Chief Sund: That would be where it end, yes.

Rep. Steil: Okay, let’s park that there, and then let’s jump to a second set here. In a press conference on January 7, Speaker Pelosi called for your resignation on national television. Speaker Pelosi also stated that she had not talked to you since the initial breach of the Capitol. But according to your transcribed interview, you were on the phone with Speaker Pelosi a few times. Can you explain that discrepancy?

Chief Sund: Yeah, that is correct. I spoke to Speaker Pelosi three times that evening. And she went on national TV and said, I’d never spoken to her, but I spoke to her three times. Three times were – The first time was when I went over to brief Vice President Pence at the secure location, I had called House Sergeant Arms Irving, and told him I was going over to brief the Vice President. I was also going over to do a personal assessment of the Capitol. At that point, things were getting under control. Went over there, and briefed him on when we can get them back into chambers with Mr. Irving, being fully aware. He said he wanted to get Speaker Pelosi on the phone. He made a phone call from his cell phone at approximately 534, where I first briefed Speaker Pelosi. The second call was when I left that location. As I was walking away, I met up with Mr. Stinger, and we started walking over to the Senate to go brief the Senate when Jennifer Hemingway I believe it was Jennifer Hemingway handed me her cell phone, and it was Emily Barrett’s cell phone calling her, and it was Speaker Pelosi on the other line.

This was my second call with Speaker Pelosi questioning the information I’d given to Vice President Pence about when we can get back into chambers. I assured her that information was correct. I could get them back into chamber by 07:00 P.M., and the call ended. That was call number two. Call number three was 06:25 p.m.. I was over at the Senate from the secure location I mean, from where the Senate had been sequestered. And on a cell phone, using Robert Caram’s cell phone, they dialed leadership, who was over off site at a secure location, and I briefed all of leadership of the plans to get them back into chambers. That would have been call number three with Speaker Pelosi.

Rep. Steil: So you didn’t have one call. You didn’t have two calls. You had three calls. So Speaker Pelosi’s comments that she didn’t speak to you are inaccurate?

Chief Sund: That is correct, sir.

Chief Steven Sund later told the subcommittee he can provide documentation to prove what he was saying was accurate.

Why would Pelosi lie about such a statement if she was not worried about her own actions that day? This should be investigated.  Pelosi needs to be called in under oath.  In fact the January 6 Committee should have called her in to testify when they started their faux investigation.  They didn’t.  And now we are starting to find out why Pelosi was ignored by the horrible leftists on that fake committee.

September 20, 2023 - A collection of questions posed to Merrick Garland at House Judiciary Committee hearing

FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin covers the hearing:

 

September 20, 2023 - A massive J6 database surfaces, engineered by ‘Sedition Hunter,’ a DHS front group

The Gateway Pundit has obtained THOUSANDS OF HOURS OF J6 FOOTAGE from “Sedition Hunter” online crowdsourcing groups.

Sedition Hunters are typically Antifa activists who define themselves as part of an anonymous group that tracks, identifies, and reports Trump supporters and protesters who attended the January 6 protests in Washington DC to the Federal Bureau of Investigations.

Defense attorneys representing J6 defendants have access to over 41,000 hours of January 6 footage but are prohibited from publicly disclosing the footage until it is exhibited in discovery in a defendant’s trial.

J6 defendants typically view their discovery for the first time during trial.

GOP members of Congress have refused to release the footage to the American people.

In June, when Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green announced just three journalists were granted access to the footage, the Georgia Republican claimed groups like Sedition Hunters would use the footage to “hurt innocent people.”

But The Gateway Pundit has confirmed that Sedition Hunters have obtained nearly all the footage and have spent years documenting every aspect, angle, and dimension of the Capitol Riot.

Below is a copy of a spreadsheet compiled by Sedition Hunters containing links to thousands of hours of J6 CCTV footage, police body cams and more.

The document outlines minute-by-minute accounts linked to available video, from January 6th.

Open-Source Intelligence, Capitol Security Footage, Bodycams, J6 Deaths After J6 by Alicia Powe

The high-tech resources “hundreds of volunteer” Sedition Hunters have dedicated to cataloging thousands of hours of footage and tracking subjects with synchronized videos is shocking.

Their time invested in doxing demonstrators and creating highly advanced massive databases chronicling the events of January 6, akin to Nazis of Hitler’s Third Reich, is alarming

Yet, the evidence compiled by the left-wing reportedly government-contracted is already playing a significant role in helping the defense of political prisoners tangled in the Justice Department’s unprecedented j6 probe of conservative voters.

Many J6 prosecutions and indictments reference unnamed “confidential informants” of “known reliability” in reference to the Sedition Hunters group and those like it.

In practice, however, the government appears to be referencing its own agents posing as a citizens group to utilize illegally obtained evidence and use its high-end software and technology to conduct the mass surveillance and indictment of conservative voters.

Members of the intelligence community suspect footage they have compiled in several sophisticated databases was collected by the government through the Department of Homeland Security and its many contractors.

The feds utilized IMSI catchers, cellphone intercept technology, to identify and catalog every individual in the nation’s Capitol on January 6, a cyber security expert who analyzed the Sedition Hunters databases explained in an exclusive interview with The Gateway Pundit.

“The government appears to have provided IMSI-derived data to pseudo-investigative organizations like Sedition Hunters,” the intel analyst, who asked his name be withheld, said. “There’s great likelihood all of the organizations that work to identify J6 protesters are working with tips from the feds.

“Sedition hunters used IMSI-derived data to identify individuals on social media and across the internet platforms and scrape their images.”

The sedition hunter website Jan6Evidence.com contains a time-colored interactive map of every individual and group surrounding the Capitol building on Jan. 6. According to the website, the map was created by “contributors including data scientists, academic researchers, software engineers, and many others.”

“All are motivated by a desire to understand what happened on January 6 and why. Most wish to remain anonymous,” the website states.

The pseudo investigators, who also herald themselves as “Capitol Hunters” of the “Capital Terrorist Attack” did the bulwark of the groundwork for the FBI to secure more arrests, the cyber security expert argued.

“Sedition Hunters established the initial ‘probable cause’ for federal authorities to indict specific people who attended January 6th,” he said. “Establishing that critical first ‘link’ between grainy footage from security cameras and the names of specific people in the United States was necessary to start the criminal prosecution process.

“This fraud in making the initial identification is known within government circles as ‘parallel construction,’ where evidence is obtained illegally and admitted into court. It is laundered through other sources to help conceal the true source of the information. This law enforcement technique is used to obtain warrants, secure indictments, and make the critical first identification of a suspect.”

Approximately 1,146 defendants have been arrested in connection with the events of Jan. 6, 2021, according to the Department of Justice.

As the DOJ continues to expand its J6 probe, the sedition-hunting ‘citizen’ group continues to spoon-feed federal authorities information to bring charges to the estimated 80,000 protesters who attended the Stop The Steal protest.

Immediately after discovering a Sedition Hunter spreadsheet linked to hours of J6 footage, J6 defendant Eric Clark downloaded the entirety of the footage and began posting each segment from the riot on Twitter.

In the past week, Clark has already assisted four J6 defendants with isolating footage that will be used in their discovery to which they are barred access.

September 21, 2023 - Jim Jordan issues second subpoena to FBI agent, Elvis Chan, who fled the country

Republican Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, is sending another subpoena to FBI agent Elvis Chan after he left the country when his scheduled interview Sept. 15 fell through, according to a letter obtained by the Daily Caller.

The House Judiciary Committee is demanding Chan appear for a deposition Oct. 5, 2023, to discuss his role on the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF) ahead of the 2020 presidential election. House Judiciary subpoenaed Chan on Sept. 15 to give an interview Thursday after a dispute between committee investigators and the DOJ derailed his scheduled interview, the Daily Caller previously reported.

“Based on representations that the date of your deposition conflicts with the dates of your official travel, as an accommodation, the Committee is issuing you a new deposition subpoena that compels your appearance on October 5, 2023,” the letter reads.

House Judiciary notified Chan before his scheduled interview that he was allowed to be legally represented by either his personal counsel or an attorney from the Department of Justice (DOJ), according to emails shared Thursday on Twitter by the committee. The DOJ brought a staff attorney to the scheduled interview, even though Chan agreed to be represented by his personal attorney, and the interview fell apart as a result.

“Today, after an FBI employee traveled across the country to voluntarily participate in a scheduled interview, he was denied the right to have his chosen legal counsel accompany him,” the FBI previously told the Daily Caller in a statement. “Upon arrival at the Capitol, Committee staff directed agency counsel to leave the premises, and the interview was unable to proceed.” (Read more: The Daily Caller, 9/21/2023 )   (Archive)

September 23, 2023 - Zelensky taps 'Spirit Cooking' artist who cut pentagrams into her stomach, as new 'ambassador' for Ukraine schools

President Volodymyr Zelensky has an interesting collection of ambassadors and spokespersons for the country of Ukraine. Sarah Ashton-Crillo, a trans-identified male Floridian vet of the US Armed Forces was a spokesperson until just this week, when Ashton-Crillo was ousted.

Now, Zelensky has reportedly tapped Serbian experimental performance artist Marina Abramović to help rebuild schools in Ukraine. ‌”I have been invited by Zelensky to be an ambassador of Ukraine, to help the children affected by rebuilding schools and such,” Abramović said.

Abramović’s latest show, at the Royala Academy of Arts in London features “nude gates,” two naked male models, that attendees must traverse to enter the exhibit.

In an interview with the Modern Art Museum in Shanghai, she touted her accomplishment as “the first artist to support the Ukraine war against Russia and to give my voice. It is definitely a repetition of history.” Abramović grew up under communism behind the Iron Curtain during the Cold War.

Abramović has a storied career as a controversial performance artist. In one performance art piece, she sat for 700 hours staring at visitors who in turn stared at her. This was viewed by some 750,000. Another piece, called “Thomas Lips,” saw her carving a pentagram into her stomach with a razor, which she has said was not a pentagram but a five-pointed star. She has also burned pentagrams in her work.

Her piece “Rhythm 0,” which she premiered in 1974, saw Abramović stand before an audience for 6 hours and allow them to do anything they wanted to her. She offered 72 objects that they could use, from a feather to a gun. Her question for the piece was “What is the public about, and what are they going to do in this kind of situation?”

As she stood in the gallery, she allowed herself to be assaulted, cut with razor blades, her clothes cut off of her, thorns stabbed into her stomach. One person actually picked up the gun and pointed it at her head. Another person took it away. Many of her pieces have courted death.

When she was 29, she undertook a performance where she burned her body and her hair by lying in the middle of a burning star shape. “There was this one piece where I almost died lying in the burning star,” she told The New York Times in 2012. “My hair was burning; I was burned everywhere. In the morning, my grandmother was in the kitchen making breakfast. She saw me and thought she saw the pure devil and threw everything on the floor and ran away.”

She also held a dinner in which she had invited her friend Tony Podesta, who was the brother of John Podesta, who was running Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. She sent an email to Tony, inviting him to a “Spirit Cooking” dinner. This gained her accusations of satanism and being “part of a global paedophile ring.”

The email, revealed during a leak from WikiLeaks of Podesta’s hacked emails, read “Dear Tony, I am so looking forward to the Spirit Cooking dinner at my place. Do you think you will be able to let me know if your brother is joining? All my love, Marina”

InfoWars Alex Jones made the claim in 2016 that “‘Spirit Cooking,’ refers to ‘a sacrament in the religion of Thelema,’ which was founded by alleged ‘satanist Aleister Crowley.'” Jones further said that “‘Spirit Cooking’ involves ‘an occult performance during which menstrual blood, breast milk, urine, and sperm are used to create a ‘painting’.'”

Mike Cernovich wrote that “Clinton’s inner circle includes child traffickers, pedophiles, and now members of a ‘sex cult,’ the recent Podesta emails from Wikileaks reveals.” He said further that “Spirit Cooking also includes symbolic acts of cannibalism,” and offered a video that is no longer available.

“This is something I have been deeply bothered by,” she told The Guardian in 2020. “I’m an artist, I’m not a satanist. They Googled me, and I am perfection to fit a conspiracy theory.”

“Some may look at that video and see a piece of late-’90s performance art,” Intelligencer wrote at the time. “Others, apparently, see a secret society mocking conservatives by rubbing their noses in its satanic deviance (under the guise of self-expression).” (Read more: HumanEvents, 9/23/2023)  (Archive)

September 26, 2023 - Hillary Clinton’s official portrait is unveiled at State Department

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who served during the Obama administration, watched Tuesday as her official portrait was unveiled at the State Department, calling it an “incredibly emotional moment.”

“Looking out and seeing so many of you whom I was privileged to serve over my four years,” Clinton said before the portrait, painted by Steven Polson, was unveiled. “Now, 14 years ago, hard to believe, I knew there was something very special about this place and that having the singular honor of leading the State Department and USA ID would be an incredible, both personal and professional, experience.”

“Today, I was honored to return to the State Department and join Secretary of State Antony Blinken in unveiling my official portrait as 67th Secretary of State,” Clinton wrote Tuesday in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Today, I was honored to return to the @StateDept and join @SecBlinken in unveiling my official portrait as 67th Secretary of State.

We’re delighted to share it with the American public right here, in case you don’t make it in person to headquarters in Foggy Bottom anytime soon. pic.twitter.com/YcPymY77aq— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 26, 2023

As it was unveiled, Clinton quipped that she had not seen the portrait — which shows her standing in front of an American flag — in quite a while. (Read more: Breitbart, 9/26/2023)  (Archive)

September 26, 2023 - Whistleblower testimony suggests Fauci 'influenced' the CIA's review on the origins of COVID-19 with bribes

Anthony Fauci (Credit: Twitter)

Dr. Anthony Fauci was “escorted” into CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, “without a record of entry,” and “influenced” the agency’s review of the origins of COVID-19, House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio) has claimed.

In a Sept. 26 statement, Mr. Wenstrup said the new alleged evidence obtained by the panel adds to further alleged evidence slowly mounting against Dr. Fauci, who served as the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and the head of then-President Donald Trump’s COVID-19 response team.

This includes recent whistleblower testimony acquired by the panel alleging that the CIA “potentially skewed its COVID-19 origins review by offering six analysts significant financial incentives to conclude that the result of its investigation was inconclusive,” Mr. Wenstrup said.

It also includes recently uncovered evidence that Dr. Fauci “prompted” the drafting of a paper titled “The Proximal Origins of SARS-CoV-2,” which was published in Nature Medicine in March 2020 and was heavily cited by experts and officials as evidence that COVID-19 didn’t originate from a lab leak.

The paper, which has been accessed more than 5.8 million times and cited more than 2,800 times, stated that SARS-CoV-2 was “not a laboratory construct or a purposefully manipulated virus” but likely evolved naturally.

This mounting evidence, Mr. Wenstrup said, “lends credence to heightened concerns about the promotion of a false COVID-19 origins narrative by multiple federal government agencies.”

“According to information gathered by the Select Subcommittee, Dr. Anthony Fauci, then-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, played a role in the Central Intelligence Agency’s review of the origins of COVID-19,” the Ohio Republican said in the statement. “The information provided suggests that Dr. Fauci was escorted into Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Headquarters—without a record of entry—and participated in the analysis to ‘influence’ the Agency’s review.”

‘The American People Deserve the Truth’

“Our goal is to ensure the scientific investigative process regarding the origins of COVID-19 was fair, impartial, and free of alternative influence,” Mr. Wenstrup wrote.

The lawmaker shared a letter (pdf) sent to the inspector general of the ​​Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on Sept. 26, Christi Grimm, in which he detailed the latest “concerning information” allegedly obtained by his panel regarding Dr. Fauci.

Fauci, NIH Exerted ‘Undue Influence’ in Downplaying Lab Leak Theory

(…) In July, the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic published a report detailing how officials with the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Dr. Fauci, and World Health Organization (WHO) Chief Scientist Jeremy Farrar, among other top scientists, exerted “undue influence” in downplaying the theory that COVID-19 was the result of a lab leak.

That report cited various emails and transcribed interviews and found that Dr. Fauci suggested the drafting of the now infamous “Proximal Origins of SARS-CoV-2” paper to officials and was involved in the day-to-day creation of the paper.

The goal of the paper, according to the subcommittee, was to “disprove” the lab leak theory to avoid blaming China for the COVID-19 pandemic, and it employed “fatally flawed science to achieve its goal” and contains arguments with “inaccurate assumptions and obvious inconsistencies.”

Earlier this month, the subcommittee also shared deeply concerning testimony (pdf) from an unnamed senior-level CIA agent turned whistleblower who claimed that the intelligence agency bribed six analysts to reject the theory that COVID-19 was the result of a lab leak, most likely from a laboratory in Wuhan, China.

“According to the whistleblower, at the end of its review, six of the seven members of the Team believed the intelligence and science were sufficient to make a low confidence assessment that COVID-19 originated from a laboratory in Wuhan, China,” Mr. Wenstrup wrote in a letter to CIA Director William Burns.

Sept. 29, 2023 - Jake Sullivan a week before Hamas attack on Israel: "The Middle East region is quieter today than it has been in two decades"

Peering through the clouds of vapor emitting from U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan’s various profilers and character witnesses over the years, here is what we learn: Sullivan is a “once-in-a-generation intellect,” according to Joe Biden, and a “once-in-a-generation talent,” “a potential future president,” according to Hillary Clinton. “The sky’s the limit,” says former Deputy Secretary of State and Brookings Institution President Strobe Talbott. “He is somebody of extraordinary intelligence and temperament.” Sullivan has an admirable “habit of continually questioning his own assumptions” and a “methodical, hyperanalytical style.” He is “a genuinely nice guy” and “a good human being” with a “self-deprecating Midwestern modesty” who is a “really good listener” and “loved by everyone.”

Sullivan’s path to power is indeed impressive, from middle-class Minneapolis public school student to Yale graduate, Rhodes scholar, Supreme Court clerk, aide to the presidents of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Brookings Institution, chief counsel to the senior senator from Minnesota, adviser to the presidential campaigns of both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, deputy chief of staff to the secretary of state, director of policy planning, national security advisor to the vice president, and finally, United States national security advisor—all before his 45th birthday. Such a meteoric rise to power indeed begs explanation, even for a coxswain of the Yale lightweight crew team.

There are two revealing anecdotes, often repeated in the creation of the Sullivan legend, which are meant to illuminate his dizzying ascent. The first is from June 2009, when President Obama pushed for the ouster of a member of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s policy planning staff who had asked Jack Dorsey to delay scheduled maintenance of Twitter because members of Iran’s Green Movement depended on it for communication. In a meeting with Obama and White House and State Department officials, Clinton reportedly stood by her staffer and Iran’s anti-regime movement against the wishes of Obama, who claimed, implausibly, that he didn’t want to harm the protesters’ cause by appearing to interfere in Iran’s domestic politics.

One of the aides present at the meeting was Sullivan, then Clinton’s deputy chief of staff. In “one of the rare occasions when Sullivan and Clinton diverged,” according to a Vox profile, Sullivan supported Obama’s position over that of Clinton, his boss. Readers of the profile are meant to come away with an appreciation for Sullivan’s independence of spirit, which he apparently showed by taking the side of the president of the United States. The supposed risk he assumed in dissenting from Clinton’s support for the Iranian protesters was rewarded shortly thereafter, when Obama entrusted Sullivan with conducting secret meetings with the Iranian government, culminating in the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), otherwise known as the Iran nuclear deal.

The second anecdote concerns a trip Sullivan took to Myanmar in late 2012. During a lunch Obama hosted there for Clinton and her staff, the president reportedly turned to Sullivan—by then director of policy planning—for a brief history of the country. “‘I don’t know a whole lot,’ Sullivan began,” according to Foreign Policy, “before launching into a virtual dissertation on the topic—something colleagues say they’ve seen him do dozens of times on any number of subjects. A few weeks later, Obama asked Sullivan to replace [Antony] Blinken as then-Vice President Biden’s national security advisor.” (This is considered a promotion.)

This latter story is especially interesting, because once Sullivan joined Obama’s inner circle in early 2013, the administration would go on to devote extraordinary attention to Myanmar on the fantasy that Aung San Suu Kyi, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 and endured 15 years of house arrest, was in the process of taking power from a defeated military junta. In reality, the military was not allowing Suu Kyi to lead a “democratic transition,” as the Obama administration insisted. Instead, it used Western human rights fantasies to attract foreign investment before murdering tens of thousands of Rohingya Muslims and driving hundreds of thousands more into Bangladesh.

Eight years later, shortly after Sullivan became national security advisor, the Biden administration imposed sanctions on Myanmar, driving the Burmese junta closer to China even as it drove Narendra Modi’s India—a fellow recipient of human rights censure from the Biden White House—further away from the United States, which in chess terms is the equivalent of exchanging a bishop for a pawn, and then losing the pawn. Myanmar was then pointedly excluded from Biden’s 2021 Summit for Democracy, to which Pakistan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo were invited “to stand together in defending against threats from autocracies.”

All of which makes one wonder what exactly the young Jake Sullivan said about Myanmar that so impressed Barack Obama (whom it is difficult to imagine suffering a dewy Clinton staffer’s “virtual dissertation” on the country), and which made such an impression on his colleagues that they’ve been repeating the story and others like it to The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Economist, The New Yorker, Politico, Vox, and Foreign Policy ever since. To find out what he actually said, I thought, might provide a key to understanding why so many of the stories meant to demonstrate Sullivan’s unusual intelligence, competence, and decency often have the opposite effect of conveying mediocrity and servility.

Alas, no one seems to remember—at least not anyone willing to talk. But there may be a partial answer in the emptiness of the memory itself. Search for any specific instance of leadership, wisdom, good judgment, erudition, originality of thought, or other such qualities in Sullivan’s record, and a diligent reporter will draw a blank.

Surely, if a good example of Jake Sullivan’s qualifications as a 21st-century George Kennan existed, it would have been rushed into print by now. His record includes a rapidly escalating stampede of failures: the botched Afghanistan withdrawal, the failure of deterrence in Ukraine, the failed Ukrainian counteroffensive, the economic war with China, America’s disastrous border policy, and now, decisively, U.S. policy toward the Islamic Republic of Iran—which enjoyed the financial and diplomatic backing of Biden and Sullivan as it enabled the rape, murder, and kidnapping of thousands of Israeli Jews by a fascist death cult. The failure of the administration’s Iran policy, which Sullivan has shaped and promoted for a decade, has in turn forced Israel into a war of regime change in Gaza, sinking hopes for a peace deal with Saudi Arabia while promising to fill Vladimir Putin’s coffers with spiking oil prices. It is arguably the most rapid-fire set of American foreign policy failures on record, and their handmaiden, if not their author, in each and every case, was Sullivan.

October 3, 2023 - Hillary Clinton describes Trump as dark and dystopian - two days later suggests his supporters need to be formally deprogrammed

“Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Tuesday on PBS’s “NewsHour” that she believed former President Donald Trump, who she characterized as “dark and dystopian,” would be the Republican Presidential nominee.

Clinton said, “The alternative is so dark and dystopian. He wants to undermine the rule of law, to destroy our institutions, to pull us out of NATO, do Putin’s bidding, to be unwilling to stand up for the real American values, to put one person above the country. None of that is American. So, I think that Biden/Harris deserves to be reelected. I think we have to reelect them given what the alternative is.”

She continued, “A big part of the Republican base feels a connection to Trump. I still believe sitting here today he will be their nominee, no matter how hard others may try to distinguish themselves. I think it’s a very sad commentary on what people are looking for in a leader, because everything that he allegedly stands for is at odds with so much of what has made this country work for a long time.”

Clinton added, “It’s the emotional, psychological, cultural connection to someone who really has unfortunately manipulated social media and also some so-called mainstream media in a way that people believe what he says to them. That’s hard to break. It is like being in a cult almost. So, I know the Republicans running against him are trying very hard. I don’t think they are going to be successful, given where we are. So then I think it is imperative on the country to once again defeat Trump and elect Biden.” (Read more: Breitbart, 10/03/2023)  (Archive)

October 7, 2023 - NY Times, CNN, Reuters and AP contract reporters embed with Hamas terrorists during their attack on Israel

The AP, CNN, Reuters, and The New York Times used footage and photos from reporters embedded with Hamas terrorists during their slaughter of hundreds of Jews.

These Western media outlets then posted the photos in their coverage of this horrendous surprise attack on Israel.

AP reporter Hassan Eslaiah took photos and video while traveling with Hamas killers during the massacre. Hassan also provided photos to CNN.

Yousef Masoud provided photos to The New York Times.

The Wall Street Journal also published a photo by Hassan Eslaiah.

Hassan was embedded with Hamas when they massacred Jews at the kibbutz of Kfar Azza. He was there during the slaughter and with them when they left.

Via HonestReporting.com:

On October 7, Hamas terrorists were not the only ones who documented the war crimes they had committed during their deadly rampage across southern Israel. Some of their atrocities were captured by Gaza-based photojournalists working for the Associated Press and Reuters news agencies whose early morning presence at the breached border area raises serious ethical questions.

What were they doing there so early on what would ordinarily have been a quiet Saturday morning? Was it coordinated with Hamas? Did the respectable wire services, which published their photos, approve of their presence inside enemy territory, together with the terrorist infiltrators? Did the photojournalists who freelance for other media, like CNN and The New York Times, notify these outlets? Judging from the pictures of lynching, kidnapping and storming of an Israeli kibbutz, it seems like the border has been breached not only physically, but also journalistically.

AP: Photojournalists or Infiltrators?

Four names appear on AP’s photo credits from the Israel-Gaza border area on October 7: Hassan Eslaiah, Yousef Masoud, Ali Mahmud, and Hatem Ali.

Eslaiah, a freelancer who also works for CNN, crossed into Israel, took photos of a burning Israeli tank, and then captured infiltrators entering Kibbutz Kfar Azza.

October 10, 2023 - Ex-CIA Chief Michael Hayden wants GOP Senator removed from 'Human Race'

Former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director Michael Hayden suggested Alabama Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville be “removed” from the “human race” Monday after an outbreak of conflict in the Middle East.

Hayden responded to a Democrat influencer on X, formerly known as Twitter, who asked whether the Alabama lawmaker maintaining a months-long hold on military promotions should be removed from the Armed Services Committee. Tuberville’s hold is a protest against the military’s endorsement of abortion and embrace of far-left standards of social justice.

“Should Tommy Tuberville be removed from his committee?” asked Nathalie Jacoby.

“How about the human race?” Hayden suggested.

The former CIA chief, who previously characterized the Republican Party as the most “dangerous” force on Earth, doubled down on his remarks about Sen. Tuberville Tuesday.

Hayden, who just more than a decade ago was authorizing drone strikes to gun down violent extremists, now serves on the advisory board of NewsGuard, a left-wing misinformation group that claims to operate as a disinformation watchdog.

NewsGuard is a popular pro-censorship browser extension being deployed in schools to indoctrinate students on acceptable news sources. The service consistently gives failing grades to conservative publications, while corporate outlets that routinely botch major stories, like the Hunter Biden laptop story, have perfect credibility ratings. Hayden also promoted the Russian collusion hoax to indict former President Donald Trump as an agent of the Kremlin.

NewsGuard did not respond to The Federalist’s request for comment.

Hayden was among the more than 50 former intelligence officials who signed a joint letter published with Politico to dismiss the Hunter Biden laptop as Russian disinformation in October 2020 despite early confirmation of the computer’s legitimacy. Even after Politico conceded the laptop’s authenticity 11 months after the New York Post’s blockbuster reporting, Hayden doubled down on the false claim that its contents are instruments of a Russian disinformation campaign.

UPDATE:

Tommy Tuberville Refers NewsGuard Adviser Michael Hayden to Capitol Police, Alleges Call for ‘Assassination’

October 11, 2023 - James Comer: Joe Biden aide with ties to Hunter handled VP’s classified docs 20 months before previously disclosed

President Joe Biden’s senior aide, Annie Tomasini, who reportedly told Hunter Biden she loved him multiple times, handled the president’s classified documents at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, DC, 20 months before Joe Biden’s lawyer disclosed the discovery of the documents to the public, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) revealed this week.

Tomasini inspected the classified documents on March 18, 2021, 20 months before the president’s team said they discovered the documents, and just two months after Joe Biden assumed office, according to a demand letter from Comer to Joe Biden’s White House Counsel.

The letter also details the president’s timeline omitted multiple visits from at least five White House employees. Those include Dana Remus, Anthony Bernal, Ashley Williams, Annie Tomasini, and an unknown staffer. “There is no reasonable explanation as to why this many White House employees and lawyers were so concerned with retrieving boxes they believed only contained personal documents and materials,” Comer wrote:

Indeed, their visits dated back to March 2021, when Annie Tomasini initiated contact with Penn Biden Center to schedule a visit and “take inventory of what was left at the Center[.]” Importantly, no public statement has reflected that Ashley Williams, another White House employee, allegedly removed boxes from Penn Biden Center on October 13, 2022. To date, the White House has not disclosed what was in the boxes Ms. Williams retrieved or where they were delivered.

The White House claims that “what appear[ed] to be Obama-Biden Administration records, including a small number of documents with classified markings” were found at Penn Biden Center on November 2, 2022.  The White House and President Biden’s personal attorney, Bob Bauer, further claim that National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was contacted on the same day. NARA “took possession of the materials the following morning.” Both the White House and Mr. Bauer, however, have failed to disclose that Pat Moore, President Biden’s personal attorney, scheduled a FedEx pickup with Penn Biden Center employees for November 2, 2022. The Committee has uncovered that a FedEx worker showed up to Penn Biden Center on November 2, 2022, to “load[] the documents and then [take them] down to the loading dock” to be shipped out. The Committee finds it troublesome that boxes of documents were potentially removed from Penn Biden Center prior to NARA’s arrival and assessment.

The omissions, along with Tomasini’s involvement and date of her document inspection. raises concerns given her ties to Hunter Biden. In emails reviewed by Fox News, Tomasini referenced him as her “brother,” and often ended her correspondence with “LY,” an abbreviation for “love you.”

“Why did the White House and President Biden’s attorney omit this critical piece of information? The Biden White House may have known President Biden had a document problem as early as 2021 and enlisted at least five White House employees to coordinate, organize, move and remove boxes from Penn Biden Center through 2022,” Comer told Fox News.

President Joe Biden is under investigation for mishandling classified documents by Special Counsel Robert Hur, appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland on January 12, 2023. (Read more: Breitbart, 10/13/2023)  (Archive)
