This is Charles Martel coming to you from Florida and bringing down the hammer for the Canada Free Press because without America, there is no free world.  The mental fragility of the most powerful man in the free world floats in suspension like a cloud of mephitic ooze above the nation and the world. It’s propped up by a dual system of justice, a political party and its members and apparatchiks whose hatred for their fellow countrymen and lust for power denies or sweeps away reason, and a dying and dishonest media.

The lead prosecutor, Robert Hur, appointed by Merrick Garland to probe and consider whether or not Joe Biden was criminally guilty in absconding with classified documents has reported, quote, “Our investigation uncovered evidence that President Biden willfully retained and disclosed classified materials after his vice presidency when he was a private citizen.”

Disclosed? To whom? Well, turns out the investigation discovered a conversation recorded in 2017 between Biden and the ghost writer of his memoir, Promise Me Dad, Mark Zwonitzer; mind you, it was a conversation uncovered with forensic analysis after having been deleted by Zwonitzer, in which Biden says, quote, “just found all this classified stuff downstairs.” Testimony from the horse’s mouth that slow Joe knew 7 years ago he had taken things he shouldn’t have, as he goes on to tell Zwonitzer “Some of this may be classified, so be careful.” Do tell. Biden then continues by reading notes from the Situation Room that remain classified to this day.............

By the way, forgive my lack of compassion for Joe Biden. In his very best days, at the zenith of his mole hill, dung heap capacity, he was a liar, a plagairist, a racist, an opportunist, and a mean-spirited greedy piece of dog vomit whose only true allegiance, as is abundantly apparent, was and remains to his wallet. In every way this is a condign fate, karma, justice catching up to him............... To Read More..

Trump and Biden’s Iran Envoy Were Both Accused of Mishandling Classified Information

By Daniel Greenfield July 05, 2023  @ Sultan Knish Blog 

Last year, the FBI conducted a raid of former President Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago.  Biden’s Justice Department bypassed normal protocol for the raid, sidelined the FBI’s Miami Field Office, refused to assign a U.S. Attorney’s Office and pressured the FBI to go forward.

Next year, the Biden administration encountered an internal case of one of its top officials mishandling classified information. The mishandling of classified information on Iran, the linchpin of the Trump indictment, didn’t just hit any Biden official, but its special envoy for Iran.

Even as the Justice Department moved full speed ahead with targeting Trump, the State Department was aware that Rob Malley, Biden’s special envoy for Iran, was being investigated for mishandling classified information. Despite that, Malley remained on the job and apparently retained his access to classified information until his security clearance was pulled this spring.

Under investigation and with his security clearance suspended, Malley still officially remained the special envoy for Iran even though secretly he was no longer able to conduct some of his duties. Only at the end of June when the story broke, did the State Department switch from calling Malley the envoy to Iran to finally stating that, “Rob Malley is on leave.”

Within 6 months, the FBI had gone from a criminal investigation of Trump to a raid. It seems to have taken nearly that long for Malley just to be put on leave and it appears that he would still be named as the special envoy for Iran if the story of the investigation had not come out.

In one of the most awkward moments in an administration whose press conferences are full of them, State Department spokesman Matt Miller blurted out that he had “no comment” on Rob Malley’s status before assuring reporters that he was still the special envoy. And then Miller had to announce that Malley was on leave and his second in command was carrying on.

Prior to that, the State Department had offered misleading answers such as, “the Department of State, the Special Envoy for Iran, and his team remain deeply engaged on the formulation and implementation of US Iran Policy” while refusing to name who the actual envoy was.

The State Department had gone to great lengths to cover up the status of one of its top figures involved in an issue of major national security who was being investigated by the FBI. Not only did it not disclose that Malley no longer had access to classified information and had been forced to step away from some duties, but it actively obstructed reporters from learning about it.

The State Department’s official site, as of this writing, still names Malley as the special envoy. The Twitter account and other official State Department messaging accounts still carry Malley’s name. Had the story not come out from Iran dissident sources, we still would not know about it.

The surprise is not that Malley’s security clearance was suspended, it’s that he ever had it in the first place.

Robert Malley is the son of Simon Malley: a key figure in the Egyptian Communist Party and an adviser to terrorist leader Yasser Arafat. During his 2008 presidential campaign, Obama was forced to boot Robert Malley over his meetings with Hamas on behalf of George Soros’ International Crisis Group. Once in office, Obama brought Malley back and named him to a succession of top positions even though Iranian opposition groups and pro-Israel activists warned that Malley was sympathetic to Iran’s terror regime and working against America.

Malley helped negotiate the deal that allowed Iran to continue developing its nuclear program while having sanctions lifted on the terror state. After Trump won, Malley rejoined the Soros ICG and was accused of conducting backchannel talks with Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif to undermine the Trump administration in violation of the Logan Act. While Gen. Flynn, Trump’s former national security adviser, was investigated for violations of the Logan Act for lobbying foreign officials in support of a resolution on Israel at the UN, Obama officials like Kerry and Malley never faced an investigation over alleged Logan Act violations aimed against America and Israel.

Biden brought in Malley as the special envoy for Iran despite not only all of this history, but also the fact that his son, Blaise Malley, was working for the Quincy Institute run and funded by key figures in the pro-Iran movement, as well as George Soros. Trita Parsi, Quincy’s executive VP, a dual Iranian-Swedish national, founded the National Iranian American Council, described by Iranian dissidents as the ‘Iran Lobby’ which has been accused of violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

Robert Malley has spent his time as special envoy for Iran offering to give the Islamic terror regime anything it wants. America was “prepared to get back into the deal as soon as possible – as soon as Iran is”, he had pleaded. Iranian dissidents have held protests calling for Malley to be fired, condemned him and warned that he is working for Iran, not America.

The Biden administration was well aware that Robert Malley was not just another official. He was a political extremist who had been accused of inappropriate ties to enemy nations and terror groups for decades, whose father had been expelled from France, whose son was working for an outpost of the Iran Lobby, and yet an investigation into mishandling classified information was not only slow walked, but covered up to an almost criminal degree.

The State Department misled Americans and reporters about the status of its special envoy for Iran. And in the process it also effectively misled much of the world which has been monitoring the failed attempt by the Biden administration to restart the Iran Deal. Including potentially Israel. After a week in which the Biden administration had accused Israel of ‘leaking’ information about its plans to implement a non-binding ‘temporary’ deal with Iran, which was actually being leaked by Iranian sources, it has been caught covering up the misconduct of its Iran envoy.

The Biden administration’s coverup of its Iran envoy mishandling classified information is in sharp contrast to its purported concern over Trump’s handling of classified information on Iran.

An administration genuinely concerned with national security, especially when it comes to Iran, would never have appointed Malley as an envoy for Iran. Appointing someone with his history and connections to any national security position showed a total disregard for national security. Covering up for him reveals the scope of the State Department’s complicity in Malley’s actions.

As a New York Times story notes, “Mr. Malley is a boyhood friend of Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken; the two attended the same high school in Paris when their families were living in France.” Beyond Blinken, Malley was embedded in the system by the Clinton, Obama and Biden administrations. He is part of a larger network of pro-Iran and anti-American officials within the State Department and the larger ‘blob’ of think tanks, activists, lobbyists, reporters and foreign agents that calls the shots on foreign policy. Malley’s alleged sin is theirs.

The treatment of Trump does not reflect a concern for the sanctity of classified information, but is motivated solely by targeting the political opposition.

When you have the wrong political views, the FBI will knock on your door even if you’re the former president of the United States. And if you have the right political views, even if you’ve been a walking security risk for two decades, the State Department will cover for you and you’ll be able to keep your title even while being investigated for mishandling classified information.

Thoughts On The Federal Trump Indictment: It's Shockingly Weak

June 10, 2023 Francis Menton @ Manhattan Contrarian 

Two days ago (June 8) a federal grand jury in Florida, at the behest of Justice Department “special prosecutor” Jack Smith, indicted ex-President and current presidential candidate Trump over matters related to the retention of classified documents generated during his time in the White House. The full text of the indictment can be found here.

You might think that indictment of the currently-leading opposition candidate to the incumbent president in the upcoming election would be something reserved for a case of extraordinary significance. After all, using the criminal justice system to prosecute political rivals is one of the hallmarks of the Banana Republic. Among those who have used the strategy are Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua, Evo Morales of Bolivia, and, of course, Vladimir Putin of Russia (whose lead political rival, Alexei Nalvalny, languishes in jail on a charge of “fraud,” which seems to consist of raising campaign funds while supposedly disqualified from running for office due to being on parole from a previous phony charge). Surely the American President and Justice Department would not resort to a flimsy indictment to take out the leading political rival.

Initial reactions to the indictment from both sides of the political aisle have been that it appears strong. There is even a transcript of a recorded conversation involving Trump where he concedes that certain of the documents in question involve things that are “still a secret,” and a staffer responds “now we have a problem.” (paragraph 34). What could be the possible answer to that?

In my case, I prefer to take a couple of days and investigate things before reacting prematurely to something that might appear plausible on its face.

If you read the introductory paragraphs of the indictment, you can be forgiven for getting the impression that the case is about the mis-handling of “classified” documents. For example, from paragraph 2: 

“Among the materials that TRUMP stored in his boxes were hundreds of classified documents.” And from paragraph 3: “The unauthorized disclosure of these classified documents could put at risk the national security of the United States. . . .”

But then you might be surprised that when you get to the actual crime charged, it arises under a statute that does not relate to “classified” documents per se, and is independent and separate from the whole system of classified documents. The statute in question is 18 U.S.C. Section 793(e). Here is the text of it:

Whoever having unauthorized possession of, access to, or control over any document, writing, code book, signal book, sketch, photograph, photographic negative, blueprint, plan, map, model, instrument, appliance, or note relating to the national defense, or information relating to the national defense which information the possessor has reason to believe could be used to the injury of the United States or to the advantage of any foreign nation, willfully communicates, delivers, transmits or causes to be communicated, delivered, or transmitted, or attempts to communicate, deliver, transmit or cause to be communicated, delivered, or transmitted the same to any person not entitled to receive it, or willfully retains the same and fails to deliver it to the officer or employee of the United States entitled to receive it . . . Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both.

Nothing in there mentions classified information, or turns on whether the information in question is “classified” or not. The relevant issues are, instead, whether the person has “unauthorized possession or, or access to” information “relating to the national defense” and “causes it to be communicated to” someone “not entitled to receive it.”

Now, you might think that, in evaluating whether a case against Trump might have those elements, it would be rather critical to consider the importance of the Presidential Records Act of 1978. That is the statute that made presidential records the property of the government (previously they were understood to be the personal property of the President or former President). But in making presidential records the property of the government, the act contained this rather important carve-out (22 U.S.C. Section 2205(3)):

Notwithstanding any restrictions on access imposed pursuant to sections 2204 and 2208 of this title . . . (3) the Presidential records of a former President shall be available to such former President or the former President's designated representative.

Somehow the indictment that has been issued does not anywhere mention this section.

So by the clear words of this statute the ex-President is absolutely entitled to have “access” to the “Presidential records” generated during his own term, and also he can further legally provide access to whoever he designates as his “designated representative.” So how could Trump fit the element of Section 793(e) that he had “unauthorized possession of, or access to” the documents in question, whether classified or not? And, since he has the complete ability to make people his “designated representative,” how can he have given access to the documents to people not “entitled” to receive them?

The Presidential Records Act does make the records in question — or at least the originals, to the extent that that term is meaningful in today’s mostly electronic world — the property of the government. But if that is the case, why isn’t this whole Mar-a-Lago document brouhaha only a question of whether Trump could keep the originals, or on the other hand whether he had to make a copy and send the originals back to the National Archives? And if that’s all this is about, is the Justice Department really serious in bringing this indictment against the leading candidate of the opposition party?

Other than 18 USC Section 793(e), all the other “crimes” pleaded in this indictment are the usual FBI/Justice Department litany of process crimes — “lying” to the investigators, hiding things, saying things had been turned over when they had not, etc. OK, but remember that we now know that the thing that FBI/Justice was supposedly investigating is not a crime at all. Granted that the position of the FBI and Justice is that any failure to be completely forthright with them is a crime, even when they are torturing you by corruptly investigating you for something that you have an absolute right to do. I’m not sure that a Florida judge or jury will agree with FBI/Justice on this one.

EXCLUSIVE: SECOND Hunter Biden Email from Laptop WITH CLASSIFIED INFORMATION Uncovered – And More Are Coming

By Joe Hoft January 29, 2023 

The Biden crime family made millions in Ukraine performing nefarious and criminal activities including espionage.   TGP reported on Thursday that the Bidens were using classified information to the benefit of the Hunter Biden family business.  Miranda Devine provided one email that appeared to include classified material from the US government.........To Read More...

My Take - Is there a bottom to this dark well?  Also, I hate this site because of how they organize it with promotions, ads, etc., but it has good stuff, and clearly has massive readership based on the amount of comments that regularly appear on the articles, so try to bear it.   

Fox News is helping the Democrats’ Biden document narrative  Regardless of its motives, amplifying the Democrats’ message is a bad idea for America.

 

Biden And Trump Classified Documents Scandals: Progressive Talking Point Falls Apart

January 25, 2023 Francis Menton @ Manhattan Contrarian 

 I have so far avoided weighing in on the Biden and Trump classified documents scandals, but I guess the time has finally come.

I’ve had a “Secret” clearance in my life, and almost all of the “classified” documents I have seen have been of very underwhelming significance. So when the Trump classified document thing blew up with the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago back in August, I was not impressed. It reeked of something highly likely to be completely devoid of real world significance, but useful to Biden and the left because Trump would be put in a position of not being able to defend himself publicly without disclosing the contents of the documents. Meanwhile Trump as President had had complete authority to declassify the documents if he wanted, and his position was that he had done so. But even if Trump had a good or even excellent position that he had declassified the documents, he would not take the risk of disclosing their contents to defend himself. So it seemed like a total freebie for Biden to go on 60 Minutes in September and say “How could anyone be that irresponsible?”

Here is the picture that the Justice Department filed in court of the classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago:

Then on January 9 CBS News broke the story that a cache of classified documents had been discovered in a closet at Biden’s office at the “Penn Biden Center” in Washington, a supposed “think tank” funded by the University of Pennsylvania. Oops. “How could anyone be that irresponsible?”

This was not going to be an easy one to spin. But within a couple of days, the official talking point had emerged, as it always seems to do for the far left press. The official talking point was, this is different because Biden is “cooperating” with the government, whereas Trump was “resisting” the righteous efforts of the National Archives to get back the documents to which they are entitled and which only they can safeguard appropriately.

Examples of the official talking point:

From The New York Times, January 12:

 “Mr. Trump and his aides resisted the government’s repeated efforts to retrieve them all [i.e., the classified documents]. Mr. Biden’s lawyers reported the problem, and the White House says it has fully cooperated.”

U.S. News, January 17: “One president had to be hounded for government documents, including classified material that was only retrieved after the FBI executed a search warrant at his home. . . . The other president voluntarily turned over documents – including classified material – after his lawyers discovered them in his non-White House office and home, and is cooperating with the Department of Justice.” 

AP, January 14: “After the materials were discovered at the think tank, Biden’s personal attorneys immediately alerted the White House counsel’s office, which notified NARA, which took custody of the documents the next day, Sauber said. . . . In August 2022, FBI agents conducting a search retrieved 33 boxes from Mar-a-Lago. The search came after lawyers for Trump provided a sworn certification that all government records had been returned.”

There are easily several dozen more like these repeating the same talking point, if you should care to look around.

So, now that another week plus has passed, how is that talking point standing up? I want to look at two aspects in particular: 

(1) Do the facts support that Biden was “fully cooperating” with respect to this likely criminal matter involving him? and 

(2) Does Trump have a reasonable position that documents in his possession with classified “markings” had been declassified?

Biden’s Supposed “Cooperation” and “Self-Reporting”

As more details of the facts come out day by day, this talking point has completely fallen apart, and indeed appears completely ridiculous at this point. A good roundup of the latest facts appeared this morning in The Hill, written by Andrew McCarthy. Here’s the gist: the timeline shows that Biden was in fact not “self-reporting” at all, but rather was doing everything in his power to cover up and bury the story by having his lawyers deal only with what he had every reason to believe were his partisan allies at the National Archives. The strategy was successful in keeping the story buried well past the election in November, and all the way to January, and thus it only came out when somebody gave it to CBS News in January. Notice that I say the information was “given” rather than “leaked,” because this is not an improper “leak” of confidential information, but rather a reporting to the press of information that the public has an absolute right to know.

Some of the highlights:

1) First, how did Biden’s lawyers just happen to be looking through the documents at the Penn Biden Center a few weeks after the Mar-a-Lago raid and 60 Minutes interview? Nobody pays lawyers $500-1000 per hour to go through documents to close an office, unless there is real reason to believe there may be a serious problem. Clearly Biden knew he had a problem. And he had known for a long time. But he thought, probably rightly, that if ever discovered he could easily get away with it just as Hillary Clinton had gotten away with the same thing, because his allies in the press would cover for him. But after the 60 Minutes interview he got the idea that he should pay attention to the issue and try to bury it.

2) When the lawyers found some classified documents at the Penn Biden Center, did they then report it to the Justice Department or other law enforcement? Absolutely not. They reported to the White House. And the White House reported it to — the National Archives. McCarthy: “To ‘self-report’ a crime, a person needs to report it to law enforcement authorities. Biden and his aides absolutely did not do that. Moreover, a close look at the timeline elucidates that the White House hoped this issue would slip quietly into a black hole, with no publicity and no criminal investigation.”

3) The White House had every reason to believe that the people at the National Archives were their partisan friends who would then bury the story so that it would not see the light of day. McCarthy: “NARA’s leadership, under acting archivist Debra Steidel Wall, has worked closely with the Biden administration. When former President Trump tried to assert executive privilege over government records he had retained at Mar-a-Lago, it was up to Biden — under the Presidential Records Act — to decide whether to support that claim. Politically, though, Biden did not want to be seen as participating in an investigation of his rival. To help him out of that pickle, Wall issued an edict rejecting Trump’s privilege claim, as if she had made the decision about a presidential privilege that only Biden had legal authority to make.”

4) The information did then get reported to the Justice Department, but by whom? McCarthy again: “So, who reported the matter to law enforcement? That was done by the office of NARA’s inspector general, Dr. Brett M. Baker. The IG . . . is a watchdog position, created by Congress to keep the agency on the straight and narrow by conducting internal investigations and reporting misconduct to Congress.”

And then the information got to CBS News on January 9. Who was the source for that? McCarthy does not give an answer. The likely answer is Dr. Baker or someone in his IG office at the National Archives. In other words, Biden and his people had done everything they could think of to keep the story buried. Likely one honest person in the government, probably in the IG’s office, couldn’t stand what was going on and broke the code of silence.

Trump’s Position as to Declassification

While the progressive press talking point has been that Biden “cooperated” while Trump “resisted,” meanwhile there is another distinction between the Trump and Biden situations, this one real: Trump had the ability to declassify any and all documents by his own act while he was President. Biden did not have a comparable right by virtue of his office, and therefore would have had to go through prescribed procedures to declassify documents. Biden in his defense has not suggested that he ever did so, so my presumption is therefore that he did not.

But how about Trump — does he have a reasonable position that he declassified the documents at issue? Absolutely.

First, the whole business of government secrecy and classified documents exists solely for the benefit of the President. He has plenary authority to deal with classified information as he sees fit, by virtue of the fact that “all executive powers” are vested in him under Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution,

But suppose that Congress has prescribed declassification procedures by statute. Well, it turns out that they have not. Instead, the operative declassification procedures are set forth in Executive Orders that have been issued by various Presidents over time.

Here is a legal memo on the situation on declassification that was put out by the Brennan Center on October 6, 2022. You may recognize the Brennan Center as a progressive advocacy group and an arm of the NYU Law School that specializes in desecrating the legacy of its namesake Supreme Court Justice by, most famously, advocating for suppression of political speech via campaign finance laws. The October 6 date of this particular memo comes after the Mar-a-Lago raid and after the Biden 60 Minutes interview, but well before the disclosure of Biden’s own classified document problem.

The Brennan Center memo points out the lack of any statute specifying declassification procedures, and states that during the Trump administration, the most recent edict setting forth procedures for declassification was an Executive Order, number 13526, issued by President Obama on December 29, 2009. Apparently, Trump never formally revoked or rescinded that Executive Order. That may well mean that the EO remained effective as to all Executive Branch personnel other than the President himself. But a President is under absolutely no obligation to follow or obey the Executive Orders of his predecessors. Indeed you might say that the whole idea of electing a new President is that he gets to set and follow new policies and procedures that his predecessor may well have disagreed with.

As far as I can find, Trump has not claimed that he ever actually issued any written document or order stating that the documents he took to Mar-a-Lago were hereby declassified. On the other hand, there does not appear to be any statutory or other legally binding provision setting forth any specific procedures that a President must follow to declassify.

So, could President Trump have declassified the documents just by having the thought that they were declassified, without even telling anyone? The Brennan Center memo addresses that issue:

One thing the president cannot do, though, is declassify information “by thinking about it” — i.e., without communicating that decision to anyone else. This conclusion follows not from any particular legal requirements but rather from the very essence of what it means to classify or declassify information. As noted above, these are two-step processes: first, an official determines whether the information requires protection, and second, the information is flagged to ensure that the protections are applied or removed. If an official claims to have classified or declassified information after taking the first step but not the second, it’s like a customer saying she ordered food at a restaurant when she has decided what she wants to eat but hasn’t told the waiter.

Do you notice anything missing from that legal argument? Two obvious things that are missing are (1) citation to precedent, and (2) citation to statutory authority. In this case neither exists. Oh, and they also admit that there are no “particular legal requirements” that preclude declassification by mere thought of the President. In other words, the argument above is just the say so of the Brennan Center as partisan hacks explaining why they think without any particular basis that Trump should get nailed.

To their credit, the Brennan Center people also mention that the Justice Department, back in the George W. Bush administration, took the position that a President did not have any obligation to adhere to EO’s of his predecessors and could “waive” or “modify” those by conduct without having to write anything down or tell anybody:

During the administration of President George W. Bush, the Department of Justice issued a secret legal memorandum opining that presidents need not adhere to executive orders and that if they do not comply with an executive order, they have simply “waived” or “modified” it through their actions. Moreover, according to the memorandum, the public need not be notified of the waiver/modification. When the gist of the memorandum became public . . . it came under heavy criticism, but there is no public indication that it has been withdrawn.

So, bottom line: You may or may not agree that it is right, but Trump does have a colorable position that he could declassify documents by the very act of taking them to Mar-a-Lago. And even if he didn’t have an ability that goes quite that far, he could clearly have declassified the documents by scribbling on the back of a napkin the words “anything I take to Mar-a-Lago is hereby declassified,” and handing that to an aide. So, even if he should have done that and didn’t, his wrong is a matter of a slight procedural technicality,

Biden, on the other hand, has committed clear and undeniable criminal acts. We all await the next round of official talking points in his defense.

Intolerable Daytime Show: Biden Declassified All Those Docs...As Vice President

Matt Vespa  |  January 24, 2023

 

 Do the ladies of The View know they don’t have to do this? The Democratic Party has enough operatives to dole out shoddy, half-baked talking points to defend Joe Biden’s classified document extravaganza. The View has already done enough damage with their equally idiotic defenses of the Biden doc scandal, where the pivots could only be described as ranging from conspiratorial to outright nonsensical. Biden got distracted by the holiday season was one of the worst, while some on the show felt that—get this—the GOP framed the president, planting these classified materials at multiple locations. No one in DC has the intelligence to pull off such a job, but Joe Biden is stupid enough to abscond from the Obama administration with documents he could never possess. ..........To Read More...

 

My Take - The Nitwit Brigade on Parade.  

The New American Politburo

Welcome to a committee with an elitist ideological agenda - fundamentally transforming the United States.

January 24, 2023by Allen West 3 Comments

Last week brought us new insight into what some are calling a two-tiered justice system. We now know that Joe Biden has unlawfully retained classified documents from his time as Vice President in unsecured locations. A vice president does not have the authority to declassify documents, unlike a president.  Furthermore, saying he had boxes of classified documents in his “locked garage” is insidious. 

Additionally, classified documents were found at the University of Pennsylvania Biden Policy Center, where countless individuals, including Chinese foreign nationals, had access. Of course, this comes on the heels of the FBI raid into Donald Trump’s residence, a place where documents were secured, and Secret Service agents were on the grounds. Yet, there has been no discussion of criminal prosecution, as opposed to the case with Trump. 

Not too long ago we recall the situation with Hillary Clinton, who not only maintained classified materials on an unsecured server in an unsecured location, but she also destroyed classified documents and government computer hardware and software. If we go a little further back, we remember the classified document incident surrounding Sandy Berger. Again, no prosecution.

Just to give a level of comparison, as a retired Army officer, if I had ever maintained classified documents at my residence, I would be doing time in Ft. Leavenworth........The American Politburo must be defeated.....To Read More....

Biden's Document Deluge

R. Emmett Tyrrell | January 19, 2023

Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba of Uganda has announced to the world via his Twitter account that he is offering Italy's prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, a dowry of 100 cows if she will marry him.  Kainerugaba is the 48-year-old son of Uganda's prime minister, and his Twitter account is taken very seriously, especially in Uganda. 

In other news, our president, Joe Biden, heard from his attorney general, Merrick Garland, that top-secret documents turned up in the president's garage in Delaware, the one where he keeps his prized 1967 Chevrolet Corvette. The discovery was the third time classified documents have shown up in one of the president's residences, and apparently people are beginning to wonder. Another batch of documents showed up over the weekend and next week is a whole new week. When will the document deluge abate?

Which story, the general's or the president's, is more ridiculous? ......      Let us face the truth, America is fast coming to look like a banana republic. When Joe first came to the White House, many of us who had watched him for years feared that he was in danger of falling asleep in the Oval Office. Now after we have had a couple of years to watch him there, we worry that he will not fall asleep in the Oval Office. He will just continue to blunder on until he commits a truly catastrophic blunder, say with the Russians or the Red Chinese.....To Read More..... 

My Take - And Kamala will become President.  And you didn't think it could get worse.  Imagine that!

Guess Who's Dancing Around the Room Singing: I'm Gonna Be President, I'm Gonna be President?

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags: 

In my piece, The Nitwit Brigade, Part I, I pointed out three things.  

1. Joe Biden has committed a serious crime.  
2. This exposure is happening like a lightning bolt out of the blue.  
3. In three different locations three different batches of classified material was found ...almost at once. 

Which lead to this observation.  What's going on here?  Does anyone other than me think that's just a bit bizarre, and possibly nefarious?  So, how about this scenario, it was The Democrats who did it!  Well, that's a theme being taken up by others. The (No So) Stealthy Democrat Plan to Ditch Biden.

The Democrat powers-that-be have decided! They don’t want senile president Joe Biden to run for reelection now! How else could anyone explain what happened last week with the emerging story of the president having been caught with his hands in the cookie jar – or more descriptive, his fingerprints on boxes of documents, including a generous smattering of classified information – at his Chinese funded University of Pennsylvania pre-presidency office and then, get this, at his house in Delaware. It’s old news by now, but the garage space that holds Biden’s prize possession – his classic Corvette – also contained papers from his vice presidency days – and so did a room adjoining the garage.

What I found mind boggling is why in the world Joe just didn't go off into the sunset, retire and possibly none of this would have ever come to light, including Hunter's escapades?  Because Joe knew there was no way Hunter's corruption wasn't going to come to light, and with that, Joe's involvement would be exposed, unless the Democrats controlled the Congress and he held the White House controlling the Deep State preventing exposure.  

But, no matter what, Joe Biden is stunningly stupid....."Huston, we have a problem".  The House is gone, and they're coming after all parties of this corrupt mess.  And that includes the FBI and the Department of Justice, with Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), Chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee asking, why didn't we hear about this on November 2nd when this was first discovered?  And how about those intelligence veterans, who held prominent positions in the intelligence community, who signed a letter insisting Hunter's laptop, was Russian dis-information, when in point of fact, they all knew it was real? Does that sound like treason, or at the very least, a RICO conspiracy to someone other than me?

So, we have stolen documents, stored not only in insecure spaces, but spaces even foreign agents involved with Hunter had access to, and we're shocked there's no public visitors log at these locations?  And former acting U.S. Attorney General Matthew Whitaker wonders whether these documents in some way exposed Joe Biden's involvement with the shady deals and corruption of Hunter?  How about a great big "Duh" on that? 

Of course that paragon of virtue and probity Attorney Merrick Garland has appointed a Special Counsel to investigate this, but he had to because he appointed one in Trump's case, however, there's a difference.  Trump wasn't guilty of anything, where in Biden's case, this is a legitimate scandal and Joe's as guilty as sin.  

There is one problem with that however.  Garland will control the outcome of that investigation, and make no mistake about it, as long a Garland controls this, there will be no indictments since he's corrupt to the core, and the FBI has now been almost totally politicized, and are in fact, political operatives for the Democrats and leftists. 

Matt Vespa posted this piece, Joe Biden Just Penned His Own Impeachment , saying: 

Katie [Pavlich] wrote last week how all of this is just icing on the cake since Biden has prevaricated and outright lied about his financial dealings with his crackhead disgrace of a son, Hunter, and their ventures with shady characters, including China. Maybe that's an additional charge to the article of impeachment that should be filed against this corrupt and increasingly fragile old man who exhibits an amusing arrogance. Never have I seen a man so stupid, incompetent, and unaccomplished act like he's Joe Cool. He is only known for taking up space in the Senate, being re-elected from a deep blue state, and being mocked incessantly by Obama's staffers for being a particular sort of moron. None of that is worthy of praise. It's not hard to be a Democrat and get elected in a state like Delaware. 

As for the Nitwit Brigade member, Karine Jean-Pierre, this author notes:

"It is increasingly painful to watch Karine Jean-Pierre," legal commentator Jonathan Turley  tweeted Friday, "as she argues that they have been 'transparent' by being transparently unwilling to answer any questions." 

There's one thing clear, even if the AG makes sure no charges are filed, the House will have to take this up as an Impeachment and Kamala Harris, who's taken the Sargent Shultz Defense, "I know nothing", is hugging herself, dancing around the room singing, I'm gonna be President, I'm gonna be President, I'm gonna be President, I'm gonna be President, etc., etc., etc,................. 

Doesn't that just give you a warm and fuzzy feeling all over?

The Nitwit Brigade, Part II

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags: 

Okay, I'm going to start with this statement.  Everything about this story is absolutely bizarre.  First, in the last few days this statement by Biden has been beaten to death:

"I take classified documents seriously".  

Well Gina Carano, who Disney and the Church of Wokeness has done everything they can to destroy her career, explains on Twitter this must be the result of a huge misunderstanding.  In order to get to the truth of this scandal we need to recognize this is merely a "punctuation" problem.  What he really said was:

"I take classified documents, seriously!"

I think that pretty much sums up what happened.  He was serious about stealing classified documents, and it really was theft, and he really is guilty of a crime.  A crime the left claimed deserves execution ....at least for Trump..... who is guilty of nothing.  However, in Biden's case, here's a very real need to have a serious and legitimate investigation, as treason may be involved.  Unless of course you belong to the Nitwit Brigade of the Club For the Galacticaly Stupid. 

In Nitwit Brigade, Part I I noted the "thoughts" and comments of that paragon of logic, truth, fact, justice and the America way, Joy Behar (just a little snarc there) saying:

You know what I think? I’ve never seen a luckier person than Donald Trump Just as we're this close to getting him, somehow these documents appear!” she bitterly declared. 

"Just as we're this close to getting him".  Is that what she said?  Who exactly is this "we" group?  Does that sound like a corrupt conspiracy, and a potential RICO conspiracy, to anyone besides me?

First off, "think" and "Joy Behar" shouldn't be in the same sentence, unless it's to note the lack of clear thinking.  To once again demonstrate the validity of that statement, it turns out Joy says Antifa isn't real! Imagine that!  

I guess none of those businesses were attacked and burnt to the ground.  It was all a lie.  Maybe all that was staged by Hollywood?  However, if none of that was a lie, and it really happened, and maybe they really were destroyed by a mob, then it must have been done by Republicans, conservatives, racists, anti-abortionists, white supremacists or ever worse....Christians, and all in collusion with one another.   

Yeah, and no one landed on the moon either, it was all staged in Arizona.

Here's columnist Jeff Charles' take on our girl Joy(less):

Of course, people like Behar who look down upon the masses from their comfortable ivory towers can easily pretend the progressive world is full of nothing but angels and fairy princesses, utterly devoid of evildoers. Indeed, the only danger the United States faces are those cruel orcs clad in MAGA hats and overalls. Deluded humans reside in this world, and they will not stop until the rest of society inhabits the same “fictitious” world.

But a Nitwit Brigade isn't made up of one person, Sunny Hostin, also on The View says:

"Does it feel like oppo-research to you? Does it feel like the Republicans are behind it?"

But among my favorite nitwits is Rep. Hank Johnson of Georgia, who was made world famous for his insightful and intellectually astute observation - Guam may fall over into the ocean because too many U.S. Marines are stationed there.  Imagine that!

He's also concerned these "alleged" classified documents were planted and discovered conveniently, and casting doubt on whether or not they were even classified saying:

"My response to it all is that alleged classified documents showing up allegedly in the possession of Joseph Biden, there’s so much that needs to be investigated. But I’m suspicious of the timing of it. I’m also aware of the fact that things can be planted on people…Things can be planted in places and then discovered conveniently. That may be what has occurred here. I’m not ruling that out."

He's also touting, "The Republicans did it" narrative. But maybe, since these are only "alleged" classified documents, they're not really legitimate classified documents at all. They're fakes, and copies!

And that's the fiction of doubt regarding Biden's crime the left is attempting to plant in everyone's mind!  It's just a vast right wing Republican conspiracy, and it was the Republicans who planted these classified documents, and if they didn't they're responsible for how they were mishandled.   Now....who could possibly find fault with that kind of remarkable logic?  See, leftist really must be smarter than conservatives.  I don't know one conservative who could twist their mind into such knots in order to make this stuff up and draw those kind of conclusions.  

All those intellectually challenged conservatives keep insisting facts should be the basis for conclusions.  How gauche is that.  After all, it's the narrative that counts, and anything that is contrary to the narrative should simply be ignored.  It's kind of per-conceptual reality philosophy.  If you simply ignore any evidence that is contrary to the narrative, then the narrative must be true.   Right?

It's been reported Biden has spent 40% of his Presidency, "on vacation", and much of that time spent at his home, which has been under Secret Service Protection, for at the very least, all of his Presidency, during his Vice Presidency and presumably all the time in between.  So, in Part I  I pointed out some issues in logic, not to mention the lack of evidence, for this claim.  How in the world could anyone have planted those boxes of classified documents without being noticed? 

It would also be nice to have Biden release the visitor logs for those who came to his home....and for the last six years.  Because it has been suggested the Biden Crime Family was selling access, and was profiting from deals with enemies like China, which is an excellent explanation for why Joe Biden would steal and hide those documents versus "the Republicans did it" nonsense.   The Big Story: The Biden Crime Family Saga!    

Hunter Biden Lived at Biden Home Where Classified Documents Were Stashed, Records Show Scandal-plagued presidential scion's apparent access to top secret materials raises national security concerns.

This story gets more bizarre and convoluted by the minute.  Documents from 2018, falsely filled out by Hunter Biden, claim he owned Biden’s house and was paying $49,910 a month rent, now records show Hunter paid for household expenses including repairs.

That’s $598,920 a year to rent a home worth two million dollars? A home where classified documents were illegally being stored?  Clearly part of the Biden Crime Family system of “paying up” to the Boss, in this case called “the big guy”, Joe Biden.   

It seems to me Hunter’s laptop is going to be a part of this story, and now that the Republican House is taking up that investigation, what will be released to the public is going to get even more sordid and ugly than it is, and it may provide the reason why Biden stole those documents regarding violations of tax law, laundering money with China and other countries, including Ukraine.  We’ll see.

When is the FBI raid taking place? One question? Who would trust the FBI to conduct ANY investigation? Their purpose is to cover up the evidence and gas light the American people. Trump is repeatedly accused of illegal acts tantamount to treason, but nothing ever comes of it because it was nothing to start with.

But don't worry, we've been assured by another administration paragon of probity and virtue, Attorney General Merrick Garland, he has started a special council investigation appointing Robert Hur to oversee this investigation.  Should Someone This Dumb Be the Special Counsel Investigating Biden’s Stolen Classified Documents Scandal?  "Pardon me if I don’t swoon", and If Ilhan Omar is ‘glad’  a special counsel has been appointed, you have to believe the fix is in, except there are indications Mueller’s pit bull Andrew Weissmann is greasing the skids under Biden.

But for those nitwits who are severely allergic to facts and logic:  What if it really is the Democrat leadership who are behind this?  That must be especially concerning since the media ..... watch out now here it comes .... the media is no longer protecting Biden!  They're actually acting like journalists rather than propagandists for the Biden administration.  

But don't let these illusions fool you into thinking they've come to some kind of moral epiphany, this is no "come to Jesus" moment for these misfits.  They are still the propaganda wing of the Democrat party, and I think they are behind all this. 

Imagine that!  

Unfortunately, this administration and the Democrat party have caused so much structural damage to America, and the world, it's impossible to even enjoy this as a schadenfreude moment. 

There are two questions I know there are no rational answers for.  With all the corruption he and his family were involved in, what in the world made him run for President of the United States?  If he'd just staying home and shut his mouth, none of this may have come to light.  And if Jill had to know, and I can't believe she didn't, why in the world would she want him to do it?  

As I said, everything about this story is bizarre.  

Oh, one more thing. What's Kamala Harris saying about this?  It appears to me she's using the Sargent Shultz defense.  I see nothing, I know nothing, I didn't even get up this morning, I know nothing about everything".  All the while cackling, hugging herself and dancing around the room saying......I'm gonna be President, I'm gonna be President, I'm gonna be President.......ad nauseum, knowing nothing about everything.  

What could possibly go wrong?

The Nitwit Brigade

By Rich Kozlovich, Tags: 

Matt Vespa on January 12, 2023 posted this article: The View Peddles Outrageous Conspiracy Theory on Biden Classified Docs, commenting:

The crew at Newsbusters deserves a bottle of Woodford Reserve and maybe hazard pay for watching this miserable daytime show. Ninety-nine percent of The View’s commentaries can be tossed in the trash, but there are times when they drop a talking point so outrageous you must reel it in like a prize-winning marlin. There’s also a kernel of truth to this outlandish conspiracy theory they tossed out today to gauge how Democrats feel about Joe Biden’s classified document fiasco. If most Democrats felt that Russia hacked election machines in 2016—this tin foil hat theory would probably be accepted by more liberals than expected: the GOP planted classified materials to frame Biden.

And they planted them in his garage also, as Joy Behar, known for her cogent observations,  points out:

 

You know what I think? I’ve never seen a luckier person than Donald Trump Just as we're this close to getting him, somehow these documents appear!” she bitterly declared.

Wow!  So, they couldn't just appear, and Biden didn't put them there, and even though they were clearly sitting right out in the open, Biden had no idea they were there.  Remarkable!  So, there can be no other rational explanation, the Republicans had to plant them, and all of that was done in order for Biden's lawyers to find them?  Really?  Does anyone besides me think that's .... wellll ....nuts? 

Does anyone beside me think Joy Behar is nuts and the word "think" coming out of Joy Behar's mouth is a bit Twilight Zoneish?     Does any sane person take this Nitwit Brigade seriously? Apparently there are sufficient insane people who love the Marxist Sisters.  This show has been on for 25 years and is considered the most popular daytime talk show on TV.  I really can't understand that, but then again, it's easy to see stupid but really hard to explain it.   And stupid can't be fixed.

Okay, so here's the thing. Either the Republicans are as dumb and incompetent as they've been claiming forever, or, all the while they were fighting a bloody battle for Speaker of the House they were planning and executing this complicated plan to brilliantly plant evidence of classified material, apparently in three locations, including his office and his garage, without one person noticing the sudden appearance of boxes of classified material.  Amazing, especially since these documents had to have been moved twice with some serious chain of custody issues raised, and question as to who had access to them?   And it seems possible treason may be involved.  And should we wonder why Obama isn't bailing him out?

Now, back to "the Republicans did it!"  If that was true, it would have taken perfect timing to truck these boxes in and avoid any security details positioned in these locations, thereby making them brilliant and hugely competent. So which is it?  Are Republicans dumb as dirt or inspirationally brilliant?  You can't have both!  Also, how, and from who, did they get that classified material? That is a puzzle - isn't it?  Which, if this idiotic claim was true, then they really would be amazingly brilliant and remarkable planners.  

We know that's not true!

Other than the fact Joe Biden has committed a serious crime, there is one thing we absolutely know for sure.  This is happening like a lightening bolt out of the blue. In three different locations three different batches of classified material was found ...almost at once.  What's going on?  Does anyone beside me think that's....welll....just a bit bizarre, and possibly nefarious?  So, how about this scenario, it was The Democrats who did it!

 Now, let's be clear: Joe Biden running again in 2024 is the last thing most Democrats want. ........So..... right when the re-election plan should be forming.......somebody finds classified documents in a closet of Biden's long-forgotten and irrelevant think tank. (Whoever invented the English language never conceived the words "Biden" and "think tank" would be used in the same breath.) And then, a second wave of classified documents is found, and before you know it, people start expressing very real concerns...........So are we really witnessing Team Obama cleaning up its Biden mess to make way for its next hand-picked proxy?.

Of the two scenarios, the second one is far more credible than - The Republicans did it!  I wonder how long it will take the Nitwit Brigade to get on board if scenario number two is in fact reality?  If so, it's going to be fun to watch the Nitwit Brigade twist themselves into logic pretzels.

 Schadenfreude!

Biden is Excused! Imagine That!

By Rich Kozlovich Updated: 11:04AM: Updated 5:59PM

 

Okay, let's start with the fact the only person on the planet that's not restricted regarding classified materials is the President of the United States. Not the bureaucracy and not the Vice President.  The President of the United States has “plenary power over national security matters, including document classification and de-classification."....."the executive office is the final word on classification".  That's the thrust of Andrea Widburg  January 10, 2023 article, Biden just put Obama in a delightfully serious bind, saying:

The headline is delicious: Vice President Biden left the White House taking classified documents with him. However, what’s really lovely is the problem this creates for Obama: After all, he’s the only one who can rescue Biden but, by doing so, he will completely exonerate Trump of the charges that the latter violated national security laws by taking documents with him when he left the White House.

Remember the left's rants and absurd claims and demands, even for Trump's execution regarding classified material at Mar-A-Lago.  That's all going away now.  Imagine that!  But here's truth and history versus insane leftist narratives and delusion.  

The President of the United States, by law, doesn't have to have it in writing or even speak the words, his possession of classified documents declassifies them, and in Trump's case I've yet to see what material they're claiming was still classified or even what that material was, which Trump stated if they wanted them all they had to do was ask and he would have turned them over.  And it seems clear claims of nuclear secrets is unfounded.   Two things, his possession of these documents declassified them and they were in a secure location under the protection of the Secret Service.  Remember that part.

So, did Obama declassify material and tell Ole Joe to just go ahead and take it home with him.  If he did, why hasn't he come forward and said so?  I'll tell you what, we'll come back to that.  

It appears Biden's personal attorneys discovered these documents just before the November election, so remember that time line, as just now the Department of Justice is investigating this crime....and if Obama doesn't come out and state he declassified these documents, this really is a crime.  But why were Biden's attorneys snooping through his closets?  What were they  looking for?  So back to that all important time line:

Attorney General Merrick Garland named a special counsel to investigate former President Donald Trump, not President Joe Biden, two weeks after Biden’s classified briefings and documents were discovered at the Penn Biden Center.  On November 18, Garland named former federal prosecutor Jack Smith special counsel for two probes by the Department of Justice of Trump. About two weeks prior, on November 2, Biden’s classified documents were reportedly unearthed at Biden’s so-called “think tank,”.........

Imagine that, the words Biden and Think Tank in the same sentence and no one laughed.  Remarkable! Well, I take that back, I chuckled....a lot!  Is that as good as a laugh?  

However, what did Garland know and when did he know it?  Biden claims he was unaware of these documents, yet there's evidence he moved them twice, and unlike Mar-A-Lago, a secure location, at no time were any of the documents ever in a secure location, all the while Biden excoriating Trump for being:

“irresponsible” for allegedly storing classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. “How that could possibly happen? How anyone could be that irresponsible,” ....... “And it just — totally irresponsible.”....“And I thought, what data was in there that may compromise sources and methods?” 

Well, I wonder the same thing regarding Biden's "stolen" documents.....and unlike Trump's legal possession of those documents, in Biden's case, they are stolen unless Obama bails him out.

I loved this headline, it's so rich in hypocrisy:  TRUMP WINS: CNN Admits That Classified Docs Found at Biden’s Private Office Means Trump Won’t be Indicted. So in order to bail out Biden, who is a criminal running an outright Crime Family, they're going to excuse Trump, who isn't a criminal and has not violated laws regarding classified documents.   Trump, as president, had the authority to declassify documents, Biden as Vice President did not, that meant he stole them.  He's a criminal.   Which bring us to the question, Why Biden and Trump Treated Differently in Classified Document Cases?  And now....watch out now.....here it comes.....: More Classified Biden Docs Found in New Location also in an unsecured location. 

The White House responded how? White House Pleads with Reporters to Avoid ‘Confrontation’ over Biden’s Possession of Classified Documents.  Well, at least she didn't say "I'll circle back to you on that."  She says she's waiting on the outcome of "the process."  Imagine that.  

• White House Refuses to Explain Curious Timeline of Biden's Classified Document Fiasco

That's an improvement....isn't it?  Then again, maybe she really feels she doesn't have to say anything since a disgustingly corrupt media is jumping through hoops to justify Biden's criminal actions.  Then we have the Nitwit Brigade from the Club For the Galactically Stupid, "Joyless Behar is shredded for letting Benedict Biden off the hook over classified documents scandal."

Then there's this, The View Peddles Outrageous Conspiracy Theory on Biden Classified Docs, and guess what.  The Republicans did it!  And it's clear Trump must have been behind all this, and did it while fighting tooth and nail to see who would be Speaker of the House.  

Wow!  Those Republicans must really smart and competent, except we know that's not true, but c'mon now Nitwit Brigade, either the Republicans are as dumb and incompetent as you've been saying, or they're really brilliant and competent. Which is it?  Either way, Biden looks like an idiot!

But the narrative being touted now by Biden has one of two options, both of which belie any claims regarding how seriously he views protecting classified documents.

1. Gee, I have no idea who took those documents. And I have no idea stored them in unsecured locations, twice, or:
   
2. yes I took them and stored them in unsecured locations and then forgot about them, and I can't remember where, why or what's in them!

Really, is that his legal strategic defense?  Biden manages to exceed all our expectations for stupidity, scandal, corruption, lies and, yes, possibly treason.  

According to George Washington University Professor Jonathan Turley, it turns out some of that material may have including facts regarding his illegal dealings with the corrupt politicians in Ukraine, where his Crime Family was potentially raking in millions.  And information showing the time "Hunter Biden sat on the board of Burisma, a notoriously corrupt Ukrainian company that paid him as much as $80,000 per month."

I think we now know why Obama isn't bailing out Ole Joe.  There's just no limit to had badly Biden can screw things up, and Obama knows it, has said it, and knew all this was to cover Biden's corruption, and has no intention of being dragged down with the Biden Crime Family,  and as the Twitter files are being exposed, it gets worse daily. l

Meanwhile, Republicans on Capitol Hill are demanding answers.  So, how can the Republican House possibly conclude they shouldn't impeach Joe Biden?  The fact the Senate will never take it up is immaterial.  His guilt must be established for future criminal investigations, and his misdeeds must be established and recorded for all time.  History is the foundation of truth, since time and truth are on the same side.  But someone has to establish it, and someone has to record it.

 Update, 11:04 AM -  Biden Kept Second Batch of Classified Documents in His Delaware Garage

Process Crimes, Journalism, Treason and the Deep State

By Rich Kozlovich

Once again Monica Showalter has thrust a spear into the heart of the matter with her article, More sleeping with sources in the swamp: Trump-hating DIA analyst pleads guilty to leaks to honeytrap reporter saying:

Ali Watkins, it seems, wasn't the only one. The still-employed New York Times reporter set a new low bar in swamp journalism by sleeping with her sources, in her case Senate intelligence staffer James Wolfe, who got a two-month jail sentence for leaks to her, but in her case, ended only in her reassignment to the Times' New York City desk.

She was also in the running for a Pulitzer Prize for the articles she wrote based on these leaks.

Molly Hemingway reporting on this stated:

Legendary New York Times editor Abe Rosenthal once fired a newly hired reporter when he learned she’d had an intimate relationship with one of the people she reported on at her previous newspaper. Michael Goodwin explains what happened next:

Word of the incident spread quickly through the newsroom, and several female reporters complained to Rosenthal. They argued that the woman was treated unfairly, at which point Abe raised his finger for silence and said something to this effect: ‘I don’t care if you screw (He didn't say screw by the way. RK) an elephant on your personal time, but then you can’t cover the circus for the paper.’

Mollie Hemingway goes on to say:

Government overreach absolutely is an issue. But so are journalism ethics, the mishandling of classified information, and threats against congressional oversight. The Department of Justice announced in June that it arrested a former Senate staffer and charged him with lying to the FBI about his voluminous contacts with reporters who broke stories based on leaks of classified and sensitive information he was privy to. James Wolfe, 57, spent nearly 30 years on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence before leaving his director of security post, where he was responsible for receiving, maintaining, managing, and safeguarding the committee’s classified information....   

(Editor's Note: There much more here, please read the entire article which demonstrates the depths of corruption. RK)

He got a two-month jail sentence.  Two months for treason?  Really?   Or, perhaps this doesn't smell like treason to anyone else other than me?

Showalter states:

Now we have a less-politically prominent official, 30-year-old Defense Intelligence Agency bureaucrat Henry Kyle Frese, who's in the news for pleading guilty to leaking big classified secrets surrounding the defense capabilities of North Korea and China to his lover-reporter, CNBC national security correspondent Amanda Macias, and then, at her request, to her good pal NBC national security correspondent Courtney Kube. Court documents show that he had 630 phone calls and at least 57 text messages with Macias, and 34 phone calls and 151 text messages with Kube.  

The two women were both Trump haters based on their Twitter posts, slanting their coverage to make the president look bad through the use of classified secrets as if to contradict him, leaving him unable to use Twitter to either trick our enemies or else dismiss the reports. They took the eight top-secret reports Frese leaked to do that, and then boosted each other publicly on Twitter while communicating privately through its messaging system. .............

It would appear Frese is going to face some harsh punishment, and rightly so, but what about these "journalists"?   Whether both of these women were intimately involved with Frese or not isn't known to me, but for those whose who do practice this kind of "journalism", for all intents and purposes it must be properly define as prostitution. 

Prostitution is the word used to describe actions by someone who receives something of value for delivering sexual favors.  Prostitution in order to attain Top Secret information they shared with the world.    Isn't that what occurred?  Or did I miss something?

Working to attain unauthorized Top Secret information via prostitution or any other means for that matter, is called spying.   Isn't it?  So, if they're spies, why isn't this treason on the part of all of them? I'm the only one who sees it that way?   Or, once again, perhaps I missed something? 

Showalter calls this "lovebird honeytrap journalism", saying:

 "it's becoming more and more the norm as none of these reporters ends up seriously punished"......."None of them are facing arrest for knowingly printing stolen classified information, although that may change with this one..........Don't think that they are outliers breaking the rules, either. Here's a gag-inducing piece of fluff touting Kube on her birthday in 2018 from Politico.  To Politico, she's a celebrity............

Roger Stone was sentenced to over three years for what's called "Process Crimes".  The corrupt prosecutors on this case recommended eight to ten years to a corrupt judge and a corrupt jury forman. Let's take a look at this by defining what a process crime is.

"Process crimes are the offenses that "interfere with the procedures and administration of justice". They are prosecuted because they are considered to harm the public interest in the functioning and integrity of the judicial system. There is a broad range of process crimes, covered in the U.S. by a variety of federal and state laws. Mar 5 2019"

Now, that's a definition allows for a lot of abuse, and the FBI and the DOJ have taken advantage of it.  Then we see people who've leak classified information who are given a slap on the wrist, and in the case of "journalists", nothing happens of consequence!

Every one of these leakers took an oath to preserve these secrets.  I know that for a fact, because I took such an oath many years ago, and all the documents I signed made it clear that to violate that oath was a serious crime, and punishment would be severe.  In order to get their clearances they had to have taken an oath similiar to the one I took and signed similar documents to the kind I signed.  Documents that clearly outlined and explained to them before they were signed what was expected of them. 

They "knew" what they were doing was treason.   Period!  

Or, then again, maybe not.  Maybe that oath was only meant for me.   Nah, it don't work that way!  To quote Marcellus in Shakespeare’s Hamlet , "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark!"

The EPA used to say there's no training program as effective as a good civil penalty.  Well, if that's true, then there's no lesson learned about treason as a good as criminal penalty and corresponding jail time.
