Top senator questions whether prosecutors have all the evidence against Hunter Biden
Posted by: Skidmark || 09/10/2022 05:15 || Comments || Link || [0 views] Top|| File under: Tin Hat Dictators, Presidents for Life, & Kleptocrats

#1  The gov has tons of evidence against a great many miscreants, most of which will never see the light of day. Hunter is probably a very minor player in all that.

Kamala's Remarks on Space Fail to Launch
[Red State] She's an idiot
We haven’t had a good Kamala Harris word salad in a little while.

We did have Kamala Harris making up a story about when she had her first grape which is quite the fake story, as our Sister Toldjah explained.

But Harris was in rare form on Friday as she was speaking about the Artemis program. The Artemis program is about getting Americans back on the Moon with the ultimate goal of living there. She was speaking on it in her capacity as chair of the National Space Council during one of their meetings.

I have to wonder if anyone tells her how she sounds. It doesn’t appear so, since she keeps on doing it. Here’s her word salad entry for the day.

Kamala Harris: "Today, the business of our work is for the council to report on the work that has occurred since our last meeting across these areas. We will today also discuss the work yet ahead, the work we must still do."

"Today, the business of our work is for the council to report on the work that has occurred since our last meeting across these areas," Harris said. "We will today also discuss the work yet ahead, the work we must still do."

That work hasn’t been going so well. They were supposed to have an Artemis launch at the end of August and Harris traveled to Florida for it. But it had to be scrubbed. A second attempt was also scrubbed on Sept. 3. Now they’re trying for another effort either September 23 or September 27. I think she wanted this position because it was more of a "no harm no foul" position that wouldn’t require much from her and she could brag about her successes. But that hasn’t worked out very well for her either.

I’m not sure what the new speechwriter has been doing, but it doesn’t seem to have helped her here. But LIFE — IT’S EXCITING!

Kamala Harris to astronauts: "Everything you spoke of is about life, isn't it?"

"That really is so exciting." pic.twitter.com/LOUC0Aon7g

When you don’t know what to say, just wave your arms and say "exciting" over and over again.

Kamala Harris weighs in on visiting the moon: "Think about it!" pic.twitter.com/p5TBJP2Q21

— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) September 9, 2022


This is a truly fascinating topic if you went into details about the things that they were working on and you knew what you were talking about. If she was able to say something beyond "think about it" and "exciting." But she never appears to have a deep understanding of what she’s talking about. She always sounds like she’s trying to say something profound to five-year-olds, but she never quite gets there and she’s talking to adults.

Dave Rubin made a great comparison.

I knew I had heard this amazing Kamala speech before... pic.twitter.com/H2kqQ3VFVB

Let’s remember some more of those profound moments with Kamala.

But this is who the Democrats put in this position which only goes to show how little they truly care about the safety of the nation and having someone competent in the position.

Meet Our Satanist Monkeypox Czar
[ZeroHedge] Readers may recall the rather non-traditional individual appointed by President Biden to handle America’s nuclear waste, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Energy Department’s Office of Nuclear Energy, Sam Brinton.

Secretary Brinton now has a similarly eclectic colleague in the Administration, White House Monkeypox Coordinator Demetre Daskalakis.

BOMBSHELL: Steve Bannon Tells Charlie Kirk 35 Trump Allies Had Homes Raided by FBI on Thursday
On Friday afternoon Steve Bannon told Charlie Kirk that 35 Trump allies had their homes raided by the FBI on Thursday.

Bannon: "The jack-booted Gestapo has to show up at their door and make a big display of this."

Steve Bannon joined Charlie Kirk on Real America’s Voice on Thursday.

Steve Bannon: You saw from the demonic speech that Biden gave in Philadelphia that this is a dying regime. That was a primal scream. And here what they’re trying to do, no matter who it is whether Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. There were 35 FBI raids last night. Right. And there’s another grand jury coming together on January 6th, the Washington Post reported it. THIRTY-FIVE Senior Members of MAGA! of Republicans, supporters of Donald Trump that the FBI rolled in on. When they didn’t need to do it. Right? All these people have lawyers. The jack-booted Gestapo has to show up at their door and make a big display of this.
Another take from 100% Fed Up, courtesy of Mercutio:
[via CFP] This afternoon, it was revealed that the residences of 35 Trump supporters were raided by Joe Biden’s FBI yesterday. Of course, the FBI couldn’t be bothered to investigate Joe Biden’s crackhead son’s laptop before the election that contained evidence that should have landed both Joe and Hunter in prison, but they can be bothered to raid the homes of 35 Trump supporters in an effort to intimidate Trump loyalists like Boris Epshteyn (who is Jewish) was allegedly part of the sweeping raid.

#3  Ace of Spades:
"A friend took a guess about this. It's only a guess. The speculation is that the DOJ, precluded at going through Trump's papers by the court order for a special master, has begun executing warrants on people they think might also have the documents -- that he might have emailed or corresponded with -- to get the documents via another route that would not be delayed by the special master."

#4  This story is not being carried by the MSM.
Posted by: Xyz || 09/10/2022 7:58 Comments || Top||

#5  KGB in full force. Barr made sure to do their MSM PR work as a layout. As did the entire corrupt GOP with thier silence.

Now I want to see a list of who was raided. Where the hell is that?

But for crying out loud, Donald, send the Crossfire documents to Wikileaks! This is the final nail of the coupe, grow some balls man.

#6  Judging by the blackout, I doubt anyone will publish what the DOJ is after.

#7  ...has begun executing warrants on people they think might also have the documents

Might think? That is not a basis for any legal warrant.

#8  Prosecutors seek details from Trump’s PAC in expanding Jan. 6 probe
By Josh Dawsey and Isaac Arnsdorf

This is the article that Dannon was referring to.

A federal grand jury sent subpoenas on Wednesday to a wide range of former campaign and White House staffers asking for information about the Save America PAC, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing probe. They described the subpoenas as broad, seeking all documents and communications about opening the PAC and every dollar raised and spent.

At least one of the subpoenas also demanded information about the plan to submit slates of phony electors claiming Trump won pivotal states, including all communications with several key lawyers and advisers involved in the effort, one of the people said. They include Rudy Giuliani, Boris Epshteyn, Bruce Marks, Victoria Toensing and Joseph DiGenova, this person said.

Another one of the three people, who has direct knowledge of one of the subpoenas, said the document was “wide ranging” and included multiple other categories of information, but this person declined to describe them. FBI agents served at least some of the subpoenas in person on Wednesday, one of the people with knowledge said.

#11  /\ Exactly correct. He was an FBI senior leader, a logical choice. People at that level are expected to have...."impeccable credentials."

Trump did fire the onerous Comey. I suspect he was hoping for better.

#12  My impression of Trump's ability to assess people seems to only be able to go in one direction. And it isn't up...

#13  The 4th Amendment has been obliterated by these chumps.
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

#14  DoJ doesn't need to convict any of these people. They can bleed their victims financially by forcing them to hire lawyers thereby discouraging future politicians who are unwilling to get with the program.

#15  What if all the Deep State pushed/promoted narratives of the last 60-70 years to explain events have been lies?

#19  #15 What if the Dems and administrative state think Trump, as POTUS, has a lot of files that would expose their illegality? That would explain the ramped-up raids. That, and they want to try to destroy Trump as a 2024 candidate. He, as POTUS with a Republican Congress pose a great threat to them.

#20  /\ Failing all of that, I would not put the 'final option' beyond these evil bastids.
Posted by: Besoeker || 09/10/2022 14:45 Comments || Top||

#21  ^ Same here. And strategically speaking, they would be daft not to take the chance. There's just no downside right now. And no one to punish them for it.
