#2  Why is this individual not serving actual time for real national security violations on that private server? To ask that question answers it.

#3  Who is she talking to? This is like Orson Wells trying to scare us about a possible Martian invasion, and I am not referring to her obesity and alcoholism. Once the hoax is done, it’s done. You have to find a new hoax. Even her stupid constituents have moved on from Russiagate.

#4  Any press is critical to start the CGI-Ukraine Grifting Edition roll-out. That she has Chardonnay-Memory Syndrome, and B-list PR flacks for staff meant she defaulted to old talking points?

Government Corruption
Bob Menendez Hires Hunter Biden's Lawyer For Federal Corruption Case
[Daily Wire] ht to AOSHQ - YJCMTSU
Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) has hired the lawyer representing President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, after Menendez was indicted last week on federal corruption charges.

CNBC reported that Menendez hired Abbe Lowell to represent him in the case — the same lawyer that he hired in 2015 to represent him in a similar corruption case, although legal experts have said that the evidence in the current case is much stronger.

Lowell was hired by Hunter Biden after his plea deal fell apart in federal court last month which eventually led to prosecutors charging Hunter Biden on firearm-related charges.

The federal indictment was unsealed against Menendez on Friday, and it accused the senator and his wife of accepting bribes from three business people in exchange for actions that he took as chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee. According to the DOJ, the bribes were intended to protect the businessmen and to benefit Egypt.

Menendez faces up to 45 years in prison if convicted of the charges, which include conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, and conspiracy to commit extortion under color of official right.

"Those bribes included cash, gold, payments toward a home mortgage, compensation for a low-or-no-show job, a luxury vehicle, and other things of value," the indictment said. Federal authorities reportedly found gold bars and nearly $500,000 in cash stuffed throughout the senator’s home that they traced back to the businessmen Menendez allegedly worked with.

Several top Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), have called on Menendez to resign over the scandal, while many others, especially in the U.S. Senate, have remained silent on the issue.

Menendez responded to the indictment by suggesting that he was the victim of a vast conspiracy that was plotting against him, in-part because he was Latino.

"It is not lost on me how quickly some are rushing to judge a Latino and push him out of his seat," he later added. "I am not going anywhere."

Biden Touts Spending ‘Tens of Millions' on Clean Water for Ukraine, Still Hasn't Visited East Palestine
[Breitbart] President Joe Biden boasted about spending “tens of millions” of dollars on clean water for Ukraine, while still not having visited the disaster zone in East Palestine, where residents are still suffering from water contamination.

Biden, after welcoming Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the Oval Office, touted U.S. aid to Ukraine in remarks to the press.

“No nation can be truly secure in the world if, in fact, we don’t stand up and defend the freedom of Ukraine from facing this Russian brutality and aggression. That’s why we brought together a coalition of more than 50 countries — more than 50 countries to help Ukraine defend itself, and it’s critical.

“And that’s why, together with our partners in Ukraine, we have provided humanitarian aid as well as tens of millions of people with food, clean water, and so much more,” he said.

Meanwhile, clean up operations continue in East Palestine, Ohio, where water is contaminated due to a train derailment on February 3, 2023. According to recent updates by the Environmental Protection Agency, homes and business are still being cleaned.

Biden promised in March to visit East Palestine, but has not done so.

#9  “Are we the science people or are we the idiots?” he said in response to those who suggest planting more trees is good for the environment.

You are the idiots.

But, he'll make a u-turn on his u-turn soon enough. It just depends on the audience.
