Senator Chuck Grassley Outlines Details of FBI HQ Running National Coverup Operation to Protect Biden Family from Investigation


Posted originally on the CTH on October 26, 2023 | Sundance 

A few thoughts about the letter itself before getting to the substance.  {pdf link Here}

First, as you are likely aware, the Senators and Committee heads/ranking members do little of the investigative effort themselves. This is where the value of exceptional staff comes into play, along with the background battle between a small group of congressional aides and assistants -vs- an army of Lawfare operatives. The battle to reveal truth takes place deep in the trenches of hidden government, and the only weapon on the side of the righteous is the ultimate weapon – the truth.

Second, again with a familiar approach, this letter is not penned to the recipient FBI Director Christopher Wray, in as much as it is an alarm sounded by Senator Grassley’s office to the larger American audience.  This is essentially Grassley saying to We The People, here’s the evidence of how inherently corrupt and politicized the FBI has become. The motive appears to be providing damaging information the media will avoid mentioning, discussing or outlining.

DC FBI Building, left – Main Justice DOJ Building, right. 

In summary of the 7-page letter, it describes a national effort by the FBI to cover up the activity of Hunter and Joe Biden’s illicit financial dealings.  Because the Biden family essentially operated a network of financial schemes that touched on multiple areas and interests, the activity itself was tracked by the FBI through a series of several dozen Confidential Human Sources (CHS’s) and informants in multiple jurisdictions throughout the U.S.

Because the various field offices and CHS/Informant networks were diverse and widespread, the DC FBI needed a control mechanism that would throw a bag over all the activity coast to coast.  The mechanism they chose was the familiar “Foreign Influence Disinformation” designation.  The FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force was the DC organization -an institutional tool per se’- used to block, impede and eliminate sunlight upon the information that was surfacing from multiple investigations of the Biden family.

Grassley walks through examples of how the central HQ of the FBI deployed the label of “disinformation” in order to get various field offices to discredit their own investigative tools, CHS’s and informants.   The way it worked would be central FBI command would label an investigative lead as “disinformation”, and that would throw a bag over the field office outcome.  The CHS’s and informants were then undermined, discredited and cut loose from the record keeping of the FBI.

Essentially, labeling the findings as foreign disinformation was the protective shield to remove the evidence of the Biden family activity.  This was done from Washington DC through the main FBI headquarters.  The downstream field offices were then shut down by administrative labeling, and the issues they uncovered were eliminated.   This is a familiar process to those who have followed the deep weeds of how the FBI operates.

The importance of the Grassley letter goes beyond Joe and Hunter Biden; it cuts to the heart of a system of corruption within the FBI that many Americans became familiar with in the aftermath of the FBI activity against Donald Trump in the Russiagate storyline.  The FBI is metastatically corrupt, with the origin of the cancer in Washington DC, and the efforts of the Foreign Influence Task Force becoming the method to spread the corrupt infection nationally.

The Grassley letter originates from information provided by whistleblowers inside the FBI who were subjected to having their investigations nulled by Washington DC.  Apparently, some of those who had time, effort and investigative resources dedicated to the honest investigation of the Biden family scheme, did not like seeing their investigations shut down simply because Christopher Wray and other politically active leaders in the DC command center of the FBI did not want the Biden family exposed.

This pattern of activity, the institutional preservation issue, is exactly what was noted in the previous Trump-Russia targeting effort.  Former AG Bill Barr and all of the officers and investigative officials therein, were also in alignment with this institutional preservation approach.  The FBI throwing a bag over the Biden corruption schemes, is yet another example of a decision to preserve a corrupt system rather than allowing the American public to see it, thereby running the risk of collapse.

I would strongly urge everyone to take the time to read the 7-page outline provided by Senator Grassley’s office, along with the investigative staff and resources of Senator Ron Johnson.  While they are unnamed, I am certain that I have personally met some of the people who put this outline together.

[Read Full 7-Page Report]

[…] “It is unclear how many confidential human sources, or how many of their reports, were categorized as disinformation by the Foreign Influence Task Force, but the whistleblower told Grassley that the FBI’s improper branding of the information as “disinformation” “caused investigative activity to cease.”

Margot Cleveland, Federalist 

Beyond the details, granular information, citations and evidence, what becomes crystal clear is that every root and branch of the FBI is now politically corrupt.  It is an institution now more akin to the Russian FSB than it is to a USA national investigative agency.   It simply cannot be reformed.

The U.S. Dept of Justice and FBI are now political institutions that have abandoned their originating mission in order to become the domestic equivalent of the Soviet-era FSB. Their joint targeting mechanisms have been redesigned to support the interests of corrupt DC politicians – specifically the interests of Democrats.  Grassley is giving specifics to what has been visible for years.

This is why and how the Fourth Branch of U.S. Government is now the superseding apparatus above all other branches.  {GO DEEP} This is why and how Barack Obama, John Brennan and Eric Holder created it, cemented it, and made it impervious to any effort to remove it.

The Fourth Branch of Government is evil Sauron, and Washington DC is Mordor. The corrupt media have aligned with it; they are preserving it; and the institutions in/around the DC system are self-aware, acting to support it and fully autonomous.

Additionally, to overlay their ability to monitor every single aspect of every life that might seek to challenge or destroy it, the end game of surveillance outlined by Edward Snowden is active.

Suspicious Trading – Did America Know Hamas Planned to Invade Israel?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Oct 19, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

It is no secret that politicians use their insider information to select stocks. A recent trade has raised eyebrows and raises the question of whether those behind the curtain knew that the Hamas attacks were coming, or worse, the whole thing was planned.

Josh Gottheimer is a Democrat Congressman from New Jersey. On September 25, Gottheimer just so happened to purchase numerous shares of Northrop Grumman Corp (NYSE: NOC) for around 425 per share. Northrop Grumman Corp also just so happens to be one of the largest military defense contractors in the world and it conducts the majority of its business with the US Department of Defense.

Hamas penetrated the Iron Dome two weeks later on October 7. The stock spiked 11% on the day of the attack and is trading a bit below 500 at the time of this writing. Lucky trade? Solid company? The trade itself doesn’t seem off until you look a bit closer. Gottheimer is also an overseeing member of the National Security Agency and Cyber Subcommittee, a branch of the Department of Defense that partners with all the three letter agencies and every branch of the military. As explained on their website, “NSA Cybersecurity prevents and eradicates threats to U.S. national security systems with a focus on the Defense Industrial Base and the improvement of U.S. weapons’ security. It also strives to promote cybersecurity education, research, and career-building.”

If this were a case of insider trading, it indicates that American intelligence agencies had been preparing for October 7. Again, no one has yet to discover how Hamas invaded what was possibly the most secure border in the world. Something does not add up here.

Voters Making a Difference – Republican DC Members Scared to Vote Against Jim Jordan for Speaker, Wall of Opposition Crumbling


Posted originally on the CTH on October 16, 2023 | Sundance 

The media and punditry are saying it’s the pressure of Jordan, but really, it’s the pressure of the voters that’s scaring the crap out of the Republicans in the House.

The block of opposition to Jim Jordan’s nomination in the House is crumbling, as their phones, emails and fax machines are being lit up by voters demanding support and threatening a removal primary against any House member who tries to stand in the way of the people.

Jordan has vowed to take his nomination to a House floor vote and force the Republican Party to take a stand. This is a solid strategy that puts any no vote against the will of the electorate.

WASHINGTON – Twenty-four hours before the full House will vote on whether to hand Jordan the gavel, the Judiciary chair and his allies have managed to chip away at a significant bloc of opposition that many in the House GOP saw as insurmountable just days ago.

That includes two lawmakers who had publicly vowed not to support Jordan: Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.), who had publicly railed against Jordan’s behavior towards Majority Whip Steve Scalise, and House Armed Services Chair Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), who had also backed Scalise’s bid and has been critical of the House Freedom Caucus’s tactics in recent years.

Another holdout, Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-Fla.), posted on X Monday that he would be “offering my support on the House floor” to Jordan. Buchanan, a senior member of the Florida GOP delegation, is another significant get, given three Republicans from the Sunshine state are still holding out.

Some House Republicans also raised eyebrows at the nod from Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.), a senior appropriator who has been similarly skeptical of the ultraconservatives’ demands this Congress.

“I feel real good about the momentum we have and I think we’re real close,” Jordan told reporters Monday, vowing to take the contest to the floor at noon regardless of whether he’s formally landed 217 votes. (read more)

Y’all know how I feel about Jordan in general terms, but hopefully the MAGA base and President Trump’s influence can overwhelm the right wing of the Uniparty vulture.

New York Appeals Court Halts Process of Forced Dissolution of Trump’s Business Operations in State


Posted originally on the CTH on October 6, 2023 | Sundance

The New York appeals court refused to stop or delay the ongoing civil action against President Trump; however, they did put a stay on the forced dissolution of the businesses.

Activist Judge Arthur Engoron had previously given President Trump’s team 10 days to outline a receivership process that would dissolve his business interests in New York. The appeals court ruling stops that from happening as the civil trial continues.

CNN — A New York appeals court judge on Friday rejected Donald Trump’s attempt to stop the ongoing $250 million civil fraud trial, but temporarily halted the process of breaking up his businesses.  Associate Justice Peter Moulton issued the ruling after a brief hearing Friday afternoon. (link)

This civil trial is a farce manufactured by radical Lawfare ideologues.

Report – President Trump Will Endorse Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House


Posted originally on the CTH on October 6, 2023 | Sundance 

President Trump is scheduled to meet with Republican House Conference leadership on Tuesday next week.  According to Congressman Troy Nehls, President Trump is going to recommend and endorse Ohio Representative Jim Jordan for the position:

[Source Link]

Obviously, I do not personally like this idea, as I think it’s just another bondo and spray paint application upon the Republican wing of the UniParty.  However, oddly enough when John Boehner stepped down, I wanted to see Jim Jordan instead of Paul Ryan.  Goes to show how rapidly the machinery in DC can compromise someone.

Ukraine will get funded.  Jordan will be the arbiter of which DC inhabitants will be protected from subpoenas; the House will change the rules to protect him.  The door nameplates change, and everyone goes back to business as usual.  Meh, I wonder who will be placed as chair of the Judiciary Committee and Weaponization Committee?

President Trump Lawyers File Motion for Dismissal in DC J6 Case on First Constitutional Grounds – Presidential Immunity


Posted originally on the CTH on October 5, 2023 | Sundance

UPDATE:  Outline edited as original review cited Mar-a-Lago case, this is DC case.

As expected, the first legal motion to dismiss the DC January 6 case is based on the first constitutional application, presidential immunity. [Full Filing pdf HERE]

President Trump’s attorneys John Lauro and Todd Blanche say within their first filing that special prosecutor Jack Smith’s case against President Trump is an attempt to criminalize actions that were well within his White House duties, such as enforcing federal election laws.

“The Constitution, the Supreme Court, and hundreds of years of history and tradition all make clear, the President’s motivations are not for the prosecution or this Court to decide. Rather, where, as here, the President’s actions are within the ambit of his office, he is absolutely immune from prosecution.”

[Source pdf]

It is a strong and compelling argument, citing numerous prior cases and rulings on the plenary power of the executive and the constitutional establishment of the President as the absolute power within the executive branch.   The argument hits one of three core tenets that Jack Smith has used to establish his case.

Even left-leaning Politico seems to accept the foundation of the DC Smith case weakens when contrast against the executive power of the president.

[The] prosecutors’ case is really about distinct powers that the president has: communicating with the public, organizing his administration, talking to Congress, enforcing election laws and ensuring the Constitution is faithfully executed. Whether Trump genuinely believed that the election was stolen — which his attorneys say he did — is irrelevant in assessing his immunity from prosecution, they argue.

“This conduct is manifestly part of the President’s responsibilities in our constitutional tradition, and the question whether the President has a formal role in the election certification process makes no difference,” the attorneys wrote.

[…] Trump’s attorneys say there’s an even more fundamental problem with the charges against him: He was acquitted by the Senate in an impeachment trial for similar conduct. That acquittal, they say, renders Trump “absolutely immune” from prosecution for related acts.

“The Impeachment Clauses provide that the President may be charged by indictment only in cases where the President has been impeached and convicted by trial in the Senate,” the attorneys wrote. “Here, President Trump was acquitted by the Senate for the same course of conduct.”

The Senate acquitted Trump despite a 57-43 majority favoring his conviction because of a two-thirds requirement in the Constitution. At the time, Trump was charged with one count — inciting insurrection — related to his speech to a rally crowd that later became the mob that stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The impeachment trial came just a month after the attack — and shortly after Trump had left office. (link)

President Trump NYC Attorney Alina Habba Gives Great Breakdown of NYC Trial Status


Posted originally on the CTH on October 5, 2023 | Sundance 

Alina Habba is one of the key attorneys on the civil case in New York City.  Within this interview with Larry Kudlow, Habba gives a great overall status update on the case and draws some interesting points that I was unfamiliar with.

The New York AG is using a “consumer fraud statute” as the cornerstone of the case.  If you think about it, when it comes to the lender/borrower dynamic, Donald Trump is the consumer in the transaction.  The statute that was created to protect the consumer from predatory lenders is being twisted by Lawfare against the consumer, presumably under the auspices of protecting the lenders.   The case is built upon a fraudulent premise, reversing the intent of the statute being used.  WATCH:

Pentagon Officials Have Been Operating a Dogfighting Ring for 5 Years


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Oct 5, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The Pentagon is beyond corrupt and above the law. Understandably, many people relate to their animal companions more than other humans. This story is likely to cause more anger than the TRILLIONS that have gone missing from the Pentagon in recent decades. Office of the Secretary of Defense Deputy Chief Information Officer Frederick Moorefield Jr., 62, and Mario Flythe, 49, have been charged for running a violent illegal dogfighting ring for half a decade.

They gamble with our money and have no regard for human lives, so it is not far-fetched that they’d do the same to helpless dogs. The two Pentagon officials believed they were speaking on an encrypted service, but nothing is safe. Dogfighting is a cruel and sinister activity that is considered a felony in all 50 states. People tend to associate dogfighting rings with gangs and low-level criminals, but these people have been torturing animals as a hobby.

The two low lives discussed how to train and kill dogs for their gambling ring. They called the operation “Geehad Kennels” and “Razor Sharp Kennels” as this was an ongoing underground ring that was permitted to run for half a decade. The district attorney’s office conducted a search and found  12 remaining dogs, most if not all who will be euthanized, along with “veterinary steroids, training schedules, a carpet that appeared to be stained with blood, and a weighted dog vest with a patch reading ‘Geehad Kennels.’”

Moorefield and Flythe used electrical jumper cables to murder dogs the dogs who lost – absolutely disgraceful.

Does the Pentagon not run background checks? It is hard to imagine that no one noticed after FIVE years. Moorefield was responsible for the Pentagon’s “non-nuclear strategic strike” and “integrated missile defense.” How do you expect them to treat human beings when they have no regard for life? Considering Fauci’s experiments on beagles, it is safe to say our government is filled with heartless psychopaths.

Beware the “Anger Manager” – Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan Says He Would Accept House Speaker Role


Posted originally on the CTH on October 4, 2023 | Sundance

My dearest friends, as much as I do not want to accept certain things, this one is critical to accept.  Jim Jordan has shown over time that he is simply a purposefully placed “anger manager” on behalf of the Professionally Republican wing of the administrative state.

Perhaps we lost him before the 2020 election, when the “six ways to Sunday” group fired a shot across his bow with the issues about “widespread sexual abuse in OSU’s wrestling program.”  The timing seems to fit with the overall dynamic and how the intelligence apparatus operates.  Regardless of whether that was the inflection point, the extreme visibility & promotion of the claims, in combination with the sudden disappearance of them, was the impetus –or if it was something similarly timed– something consequential changed in the political orbit of Jim Jordan.

For the past several years, as more intensity has swirled around us, Representative Jim Jordan has appeared as more of a useful “anger manager,” better positioned to satiate the masses than actually deliver any accountability results.  The media appearances seemed to align with that intent, and then a very big datapoint surfaced that few -other than myself- seemed to be concerned about.

When the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Government was formed, it was constructed in the lane of the House Judiciary Committee.  Meaning, the House Judiciary Committee would be the presumptive authority committee under which the select subcommittee would form.  For most casual observers, this seemed to be just a parliamentary decision; however, for me it also held concern.

Those concerns were then realized when it was announced that Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan would also sit as the Chairman of the Select Subcommittee.  If you are cynical and/or knowledgeable as to how the Deep State operates, this approach positioned Jordan as a backstop against the issuance of subpoenas that would be against the interests of the Professionally Republican leadership.  Trying to protect the flickering flame of hope, I held my powder and watched.

What followed was the worst-case scenario that I previously outlined {Go Deep}.  It is no longer a question of whether the Select Subcommittee was constructed in an effort to dissuade, dilute and deflect the outrage by the American people who were witnessing the weaponization of government.  That’s exactly what the subcommittee result was as a result of Jim Jordan’s leadership.

I told several people at the time, after watching about 5 months of the subcommittee work, “It’s over.”  Meaning there never was a genuine, actionable effort on behalf of the new Republican majority to confront the weaponization of government.  It was all another farce – another railcar in a “long train of Republican abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object,” gaslighting and kicking the proverbial can.

As much as I did not want to accept it, we were once again victims.

Kevin McCarthy’s Lucy has unlimited footballs.

Jim Jordan is the carefully positioned guardian of Kevin McCarthy.  Jordan was the general selected to hang out with the troops and play the role of steering leader; one foot in the trenches and the other foot in the mahogany meeting room.  If he did his job well, he would control the glances by the regulars toward the indulgences of leadership.

Jim Jordan did his job very well.

Jordan is corrupt; perhaps that’s too strong a word; perhaps compromised is a better way to put it.  Not corrupt/compromised in a way of directly lying, cheating or stealing, but rather corrupt in the same familiar manner that generates all of the frustration we feel. Corrupt in the sense of satiating the masses while being disingenuous in the extreme of creating ZERO accountability.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy used Jim Jordan for exactly this institutional preservation purpose, and Jordan knows it…. and willingly goes along with it…. and willingly plays the role of “anger manager” on behalf of his leadership.  That’s the part that has become more obvious and needs to be accepted.

Once you understand this, the next part makes total sense.

WASHINGTON — Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, on Wednesday became the first lawmaker to announce a bid for speaker of the House, one day after Kevin McCarthy was ousted from the top job in a historic vote.

Asked by reporters in the Capitol if he was running, Jordan replied unequivocally: “Yes.”

“We need to unite the conference,” said Jordan, who had just met with Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., a likely rival for speaker, to inform him of his decision.

Later Wednesday, Jordan sent a letter to colleagues touting his work on immigration and oversight issues on the Judiciary panel and asking for their support.

“Now is the time for our Republican conference to come together to keep our promises to Americans. The problems we face are challenging, but they are not insurmountable. We can focus on the changes that improve the country and unite us in offering real solutions,” Jordan wrote. “But no matter what we do, we must do it together as a conference. I respectfully ask for your support for Speaker of the House of Representatives.”

Jordan said he made his decision after many of his GOP colleagues reached out, urging him to run. A source familiar with Jordan’s thinking said the congressman has repeatedly said that choosing the next speaker “will be a decision for the conference” and now the conference is asking. (read more)

Every element of the professional Republican apparatus in DC, positions their interests for the long game.

When a person grabs the flag at the front of the parade, watch who they hand it to… Often, there’s an intent.
