[Breitbart] Eric Schwerin, the Biden family’s estranged “moneyman” who shared bank accounts with President Joe Biden, will appear on Tuesday for a House impeachment inquiry deposition, Breitbart News learned.
House investigators hope to ascertain information about Schwerin’s role within the Biden family’s foreign business dealings as well as Joe Biden’s knowledge of and participation in those dealings.
In December, the Committee on Ways and Means released a spreadsheet compiled by an IRS criminal investigator that included dozens of email exchanges between or among Hunter Biden, Schwerin, and pseudonyms attributable to Joe Biden between 2010 and 2019.
The National Archives released documents showing Schwerin had direct contact with White House employees regarding Burisma.
Schwerin coordinated with the White House on Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, about issues when he didn’t work for or receive payments from Burisma.
Schwerin was the president of Rosemont Seneca Partners, a fund created by Hunter and several associates that spawned business deals in Russia, Ukraine, China, and Romania. Many of those deals yielded the Biden family business millions over decades while Joe Biden was an elected official.
[Breitbart] The $113 billion sent to Ukraine so far for its war against Russia is apparently not actually going to Ukraine, but is really “benefiting American interests,” a spokesperson for Ukraine told Breitbart News.
The shock claim was in response to a request for information by Breitbart News on whether or not any American tax dollars had gone specifically to Uman, a city in the war-torn Eastern European nation that is currently seeing a condo built on a Jewish mass grave, as previously reported, in violation of a bilateral agreement with the U.S., and in violation of international law.?
Breitbart reported on January 10 that a city in Ukraine is proceeding with building a condo on a Jewish mass grave, despite three letters from members of Congress from both parties to the Ukrainian government demanding the cemetery be protected.
Replying to an inquiry about whether or not U.S. dollars are going to the city where this is taking place, a spokesperson for the Ukrainian Embassy told Breitbart that “funds authorized by American lawmakers to support Ukraine’s armament are not directly allocated to Ukraine” — after claiming the Ukrainian Embassy “did not receive” a request sent by Breitbart News eight months ago for information on the construction project, which requires desecrating the remains of victims of the 1768 Haidamacks massacre.
The spokesperson explained that, instead, a “significant portion” of the billions of dollars to Ukraine is “utilized in the United States for the construction of new weapons or to replenish those dispatched to Kyiv from U.S. reserves,” adding that “an analysis” (not specifically cited) found that “nearly 90 percent” of aid granted by Congress “is benefiting American interests.” The email continues, “The allocation of funds doesn’t imply immediate expenditure.”
“American interests” in this context presumably means weapons manufacturers.
The Associated Press reported Sunday that employees from a Ukrainian arms firm “conspired with defense ministry officials to embezzle almost $40 million” allocated for weapons purchases.
The news comes months after the New York Times reported on the sacking of Ukraine’s minister of defense due to “graft” and “financial mismanagement” in the department, amid an avalanche of cash coming from the United States to fund the beleaguered war effort, and as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asks for more.
The Times report said some prepayments for weapons had “vanished” in the bank accounts of weapons dealers, among “about $980 million in weapons contracts” that “missed their delivery dates,” in 2023.
As Breitbart previously reported, in October 2021 a letter was sent to Zelensky personally by Reps. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) and Jerry Nadler (D-NY), expressing “concern” about “desecration” of a Jewish cemetery in Uman, “in violation of existing cultural heritage protection agreements,” emphasizing that “[the] cemetery and other important historical and culturally significant sites are provided with legal protection under the 1994 bilateral agreement between the United States and Ukraine on Protecting and Preserving Cultural Heritage.”
However, according to photos obtained by Breitbart of the project location this month, construction of the condo is moving forward, using “Doosan” equipment from South Korea.

Um... duh. We are sending Ukraine our old/expired shit and replenishing our stocks with new weapons. Most of that money is staying in the US and paying US workers.
Now the US just needs to increase the production rate.

Putin puppets trying to drive a wedge between us. We will never stop finding Ukraine until its borders are safe and all invaders have been expelled back to Russia where they came from.
[Gateway] Over three years ago, on January 5, 2021, a suspect planted pipe bombs near the Washington DC RNC and DNC headquarters the night before the January 6, 2021 protests.
The US Capitol was shut down on January 6 after the feds found the bombs near the Republican and Democrat Party headquarters.
As previously reported — A mysterious suspect planted two pipe bombs at the RNC and DNC DC Headquarters and safely detonated by a bomb squad on January 6.
The FBI continued to drip out new videos of the suspect who placed two pipe bombs at the DNC and RNC the night before the Capitol riot in the months following the incident.
A whistleblower stepped forward in 2022 and disclosed that the FBI was withholding information on the investigation.
In 2023 the FBI finally offered a $500,000 reward for information on the alleged bomber. Maybe they need to check who was on duty that night?
The culprit was caught on video but never caught by the FBI — the greatest intelligence service in the world.
Now we know why.
FBI whistleblower Kyle Seraphin reported in May 2023 that the technicians who worked on the program told him the devices were inoperable.
Now, there are reports that the operative who planted the bomb is a former government official – but the FBI refused to interview the person!
The Daily Wire reported:
A former FBI agent said that the Bureau quickly believed that it tied the person who planted pipe bombs at the Democrat National Committee and the Republican National Committee to a particular Metro fare card and license plate, but did not allow him to interview the person of interest and pulled his team off of the lead.
The allegation raises more questions about the pipe bombs, which were by far the most violent aspect of the January 6 protests, but which Democrats and authorities have seldom mentioned since.
Kyle Seraphin, who led FBI surveillance teams, told The Daily Wire that shortly after January 6, a counterintelligence team met him at a firehouse in Falls Church, Virginia to brief him on his next surveillance target: They had used security footage to follow the person into a Metro station after he planted the bombs, and identified the fare card that was used.
That fare card then allowed them to determine that the person got off at a Metro stop in Northern Virginia, where surveillance footage showed the person entering a car. Both the car and the fare card were in the name of the same person — a retired Air Force chief master sergeant who was now working as a contractor with a security clearance, they said.
Seraphin and his team were assigned to stake out the person’s row house for days, but the FBI blocked his request to interview the person, he said. Then they were called off the target completely and told to pore through low-priority leads about minor January 6 participants, he said.
[FoxNews] Has she changed?
Was she always like this?
Is the media finally reporting her fall from grace?
The former House speaker told Code Pink activists outside her home in October to "go back to China" where their "headquarters" are.
October. Why are we seeing this now?
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.,
...she’s been Speaker Emerita since January, 2023...
D-Calif., was blasted on social media after a video surfaced from October in which she told pro-Palestinian protesters from Code Pink to "go back to China" where their "headquarters is."
Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans is the wife of Sri-Lankan-American centi-millionaire Neville Roy Singham. The founder of LinkedIn is politically Maoist Black Nationalist — which is some trick considering he is half Asian and half white. The conclusion that Code Pink takes orders from the CCP is understandable.
"In October, Pelosi told our members calling for a ceasefire to ‘go back to China,’ Code Pink posted on X on Monday along with a video of Pelosi interacting with protesters.
"These same women have been protesting for peace at her house for 17 years.
Seriously? Do they have nothing better to do?
“Pelosi takes thousands of dollars from AIPAC every year. Who’s the foreign agent here?"
Social media users criticized Pelosi, including Trending Politics co-owner Collin Rugg, who posted on X that Pelosi has "lost it."
Pelosi was presumably referring to a New York Times report tying Code Pink to a Chinese propaganda network.
This week, Pelosi suggested that protesters calling for a cease-fire in Gaza are "connected to Russia."
"They are in front of my house all the time," Pelosi told CNN. "I have a feeling for what feelings they have. But we have to think about what we’re doing. And what we have to do is try to stop the suffering in Gaza. This is women and children, people who don’t have a place to go, so let’s address that. But for them to call for a cease-fire is Mr. Putin’s message, Mr. Putin’s message."

"I think some of these protesters are spontaneous, and organic and sincere. Some, I think, are connected to Russia. I say that having looked at this for a long time."
Russia, Russia, Russia. Still.

Pelosi faces backlash for demanding swarming protesters 'go back to China'.
If a pub said that, she would cry "Raycist" or she just had a shot of 烧酒/燒酒.
[DC] Future Dem POTUS candidate
Failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams’ nonprofit, Fair Fight, is laying off the majority of its staff, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Fair Fight, a group Abrams founded to combat alleged voter suppression in Georgia, will be laying off 75% of its staff and significantly narrowing its scope of operations, the AJC reported. The organization holds $2.5 million in debt but only has $1.9 million in cash, according to the AJC.
Salena Jegede, chair of the organization’s board, said that it faces a “serious funding deficit that makes our current trajectory unsustainable.” (RELATED: MSNBC Analyst Presses Stacey Abrams On Struggling Economy. She Says, That’s Why We Need Abortions)
Finances haven’t always been an issue for Abrams’ nonprofit.
Fair Fight raised more than $100 million during its first three years of operations, according to AJC. Fair Fight Action, Fair Fight’s political arm, even aired an advertisement during the 2019 Super Bowl promoting Abrams.
Things appear to have begun going downhill for Abrams’ nonprofit after the 2020 election cycle.
Fair Fight Action had more than $21 million in net assets at the end of 2020, according to tax filings. That figure dropped to about $3.4 million in 2021 and again to just over $1.5 million in 2022, tax documents show.
More recently, a court ordered Fair Fight Action to pay about $231,000 in legal fees after it lost a years-long case alleging voter suppression in Georgia, the Washington Free Beacon reported. In addition to compensating Georgia for its spurious allegations, Fair Fight Action spent more than $25 million on legal expenses between 2021 and 2022, according to tax forms.
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Mayor Brandon Johnson ...Hizzonner da Mare of Chicago. He was elected in April 2023 to replace the disastrous Lori Lightfoot and immediately set about out-Richtering her. A member of the Democratic Party (naturally), Johnson previously worked as a social studies teacher in the city's stellar public schools system. He helped organize the 2012 teachers strike. Prior to becoming Da Mare, he served on the Cook County Board of Boodlng Commissioners from 2018 to 2023... avoided further outrage from migrants, their supporters, and the Chicago City Council by postponing shelter evictions until March.
The shelter evictions, which typically come 60 days after arrival, were set to take effect on Thursday. Johnson announced on Tuesday that the removals will now be put off again ahead of a City Council hearing and days before thousands of asylum-seekers would have been forced to leave the city-run shelters.
“We have made the decision to extend the shelter stay policy based on original exit dates from mid-January through the end of March,” Johnson said at a City Hall news conference via the Chicago Tribune.
Migrants who originally received an eviction notice between Jan. 16 and Feb. 29 will now be given a 60-day extension from their original date. Brandie Knazze, head of the Chicago Department of Family and Support Services, said that 5,673 people who were scheduled to leave on Jan. 16 now have a new move-out date of March 16.
The 2,119 migrants who were scheduled for shelter eviction between March 1 and March 28 will receive a 30-day extension. Anyone who began entering the shelter following the announcement on Tuesday would receive a standard 60-day eviction notice. The 5,910 new arrivals who entered the migrant shelter system between Aug. 1 and Nov. 16, 2023, will receive their 60-day notice starting Feb. 1.
The controversial decision to evict the migrants on Feb. 1 came soon after the city disbanded its plan to create new shelters, citing high costs. Over a dozen aldermen, including Johnson allies who typically supported Johnson’s handling of the Chicago migrant crisis, called on Johnson to scrap his 60-day limit policy last week over concerns about the frigid weather and lack of resources to support the migrants. It marked one of the first times since Johnson had taken office that he received pushback from council members of his own party.
In the letter sent last week, the aldermen claimed the 60-day eviction policy posed “a significant threat to the health and safety of new arrivals” and did not address “systemic issues” regarding alternative housing for migrants once they leave the shelters.
Alderman Andre Vasquez, who is chairman of the city’s immigration committee and one of the co-signers of the letter, told the Chicago Tribune he approved of the mayor’s delay of the eviction process.
“We’re leading from the front as a city,” he said, adding that Johnson’s decision shows “the rest of the country what it is to be a city that lives the values this country claims.” He added that he didn’t see this type of collaboration or listening under former Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
