Merrick Garland Ignores Calls For Hunter Biden Probe To Instead Interfere With Trump’s 2024 Chances

America dodged a bullet when Sens. Mitch McConnell and Chuck Grassley blocked Merrick Garland from becoming a Supreme Court justice.
 
Now-Attorney General Garland has made it clear he is a partisan operative and has no interest in justice. He would have been a disaster on the Supreme Court. But instead of a permanent appointment to the court, Garland is inflicting lasting damage to the Justice Department.
 
Conservative lawmakers have been demanding Garland appoint a special counsel in the Hunter Biden probe for months now, but he has ignored their pleas. Instead, Garland appointed Jack Smith as a special counsel to investigate his boss’s top political opponent: Donald Trump.
 
Garland has Smith looking into the non-crimes of objecting to the results of a presidential election and keeping personal copies of presidential records. Both are expressly permitted by federal statutes and have been done by Democrats in years past. If Trump is in hot water for objecting to one election, then Democrats would have him beaten fourfold — see years 1969, 2001, 2005, and 2017, all years Democrats objected to the results of a presidential election. If Trump is in trouble for taking personal copies of his presidential records, then Bill Clinton would have gone to jail for stuffing in his sock drawer eight years of highly classified recordings of his presidency.
 
The situation is not only chilling but dangerous when the Justice Department opens a broad criminal probe into a leading presidential candidate for objecting to an election. It’s a clear First Amendment violation to punish those who dare question election results, and this fishing expedition is oppositional to our constitutional values of liberty and justice. They are looking for any past infraction instead of seeking justice by solving an actual crime. The emphasis, in this case, is the person, Trump, instead of any alleged crime. It is only a crime to object to presidential elections in Third World hellholes.
 
There are very real and violent crimes on which Garland and the Department of Justice should focus their attention. Our cities are experiencing violence and turmoil as stores are looted and carjackings run rampant — all thanks mostly to the leadership of Garland’s allies within the Democrat Party.
 
Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee recently released a shocking report detailing the mishandling of the FBI under the leadership of Chris Wray and Garland. It notes that “in addition to anti-life extremists targeting Supreme Court justices, anti-life fanatics have targeted, destroyed, or vandalized nearly 70 pro-life facilities, groups, and churches to further their political cause.”
 
“Despite this harassment and violence aimed at the Court and pro-life facilities, the Biden Administration has declined to enforce the law to protect Supreme Court justices and their families,” House Republicans wrote.
 
Furthermore, under Garland and Wray, the FBI and DOJ aren’t just refusing to prosecute people who carry out attacks on pro-life institutions; they are actively using the federal government to persecute pro-life individuals.
 
Garland’s choice of Smith as special counsel is also a troubling one. Mike Howell, director of the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project and a former attorney for the House Oversight Committee, tweeted that “Jack Smith is well known and liked in leftist circles because of his role in the IRS scandal, working with Lois Lerner to illicitly target conservative groups.”
 
Indeed, Smith was the subject of a 2014 letter by top House Republicans that noted Smith “was closely involved in engaging with the IRS in the wake of Citizens United and political pressure from prominent Democrats to address perceived problems with the decision.”
 
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s report on the Lois Lerner scandal noted that Smith wanted the IRS to probe nonprofits based on an article in The New York Times.
 
Smith also has experience using the legal system to take out prominent Republicans. In 2010, Obama Attorney General Eric Holder picked Smith to run the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section. Smith proceeded to take out Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell as a potential Republican presidential candidate on bogus corruption charges.
 
The Supreme Court unanimously overturned McDonnell’s conviction. Even the liberals on the court believed the charges brought by Smith were a bridge too far. Imagine what he is willing to concoct against former President Trump.
 
Garland’s appointment of Smith will surely erode the American people’s belief that justice is fairly applied to everyone. Unlike keeping personal copies of presidential records, being an unregistered foreign agent is a crime. So is a violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. And tax evasion. Experts have noted that Hunter Biden’s influence peddling for foreign officials amounts to a crime as the president’s son never registered under FARA. And there is smoking-gun evidence President Biden himself was in on Hunter’s racket.

Garland wants to start a witch hunt against Trump we see Biden as worst then Hitler Stalin Castro and Mao

“we see Biden as worst then Hitler Stalin Castro and Mao”

Then you’re a fool.

“biden has the mark of the beast, 666.”

If you hear someone at the door, it’s the nice men in white coats with butterfly nets. Don’t be alarmed; they’re here to help.

Garland has Smith looking into the non-crimes of objecting to the results of a presidential election and keeping personal copies of presidential records.

The revelations Musk has squeezed out of Twitter kind of undercuts the entire narrative of the left that the election was legitimate, that questioning the outcome is un-American and un-patriotic and that Trump committed some crime by speaking out about the suspicions and doubts. We now see that the DOJ, FBI, DNC and Big Tech were all colluding to guide the outcome of the election towards a guaranteed result. Add the confirmed incidents of election fraud and you have, beyond any doubt, an illegitimate election.

Aside from that, the fact that Garland targets Trump instead of the gold mine of hard evidence he has and has had that idiot Biden is compromised by the CCP and we have definite proof of a corrupt regime that should be removed and replaced.

Garland’s appointment of Smith will surely erode the American people’s belief that justice is fairly applied to everyone. 

Those who cherish our Constitutional government no longer have any belief justice can be wrung from this politicized and weaponized DOJ. The left love the idea of a totalitarian police state that uses the power of the federal government to take out political opponents. There is no reconciliation possible; one side or the other has to be removed.

Indeed, thank God above that this fascist Garland (advertised as a moderate when Obama nominated him) has been kept from the Supreme Court. May he and others like him be kept off the bench forever.

Judicial Watch: Secret Service Has Repeatedly Changed Story on Existence of Hunter Biden Gun Records

comment image

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that the United States Secret Service has repeatedly changed its position about whether it is in possession of records related to the investigation of Hunter Biden’s gun, reportedly disposed of in a dumpster in Delaware. The Secret Service now says it now located over 100 records, totaling over 400 pages and will complete its initial processing of the records by January 9, 2023.

Judicial Watch is investigating whether and how the Secret Service intervened for Hunter Biden in an incident involving a gun allegedly owned by him.  In September, Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for records or communications about the reported purchase, possession, and disposal of a firearm owned by Hunter Biden found in a Delaware dumpster in October 2018 (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (No. 1:22-cv-02841)).

The Secret Service initially responded to Judicial Watch’s FOIA request on April 2, 2021 and stated that it had located potentially responsive records and would process them in accordance with FOIA. Then, on October 13, 2022, the Secret Service said that the April 2021 response was sent in error and that it did not have any records responsive to the FOIA request.

But then, on November 10, 2022, the Secret Service informed the District Court that it has run supplemental searches and has located over 100 records, totaling over 400 pages, potentially responsive to Judicial Watch’s request.

The Secret Service also told the court that it would complete its initial processing of all potentially responsive records by January 9, 2023, and send records out for any necessary consultations with other Executive Branch entities by that date. All other non-exempt, responsive records are to be produced to Judicial Watch by January 9.

“The Secret Service’s changing story on records raises additional questions about its role in the Hunter Biden gun incident. One thing is clear, Judicial Watch’s persistence means the public may get records that the Secret Service suggested didn’t exist,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

In October 2020, The Blaze reported that in October 2018, Hunter Biden’s handgun was taken by Hallie Biden, the widow of then-presidential nominee Joe Biden’s son Beau. In 2021, Politico reported:

Hallie took Hunter’s gun and threw it in a trash can behind a grocery store, only to return later to find it gone.

Delaware police began investigating, concerned that the trash can was across from a high school and that the missing gun could be used in a crime, according to law enforcement officials and a copy of the police report obtained by POLITICO.

But a curious thing happened at the time: Secret Service agents approached the owner of the store where Hunter bought the gun and asked to take the paperwork involving the sale, according to two people, one of whom has firsthand knowledge of the episode and the other was briefed by a Secret Service agent after the fact.

In October 2022, Judicial Watch filed a FOIA lawsuit against the Department of Justice for all records in the possession of FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst Brian Auten regarding an August 6, 2020, briefing provided to members of the U.S. Senate. Ron Johnson (R-WI) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA) raised concerns that the briefing was intended to undermine the senators’ investigation of Hunter Biden.

In December 2020, Judicial Watch received records from the State Department tying Hunter Biden’s Burisma Holdings’ lobbying operation to an influence-peddling operation involving the Clinton campaign during the 2016 election. Also uncovered were State Department records showing that former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie “Masha” Yovanovitch had specifically warned in 2017 about corruption allegations against Burisma Holdings.

In October 2020, State Department records that included a briefing checklist of a February 22, 2019, meeting in Kyiv between then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch and Sally Painter, co-founder and chief operating officer of Blue Star Strategies, a Democratic lobbying firm which was hired by Burisma Holdings to combat corruption allegations. The briefing checklist notes that Painter also planned to meet with Foreign Commercial Service (FCS) Officer Martin Claessens “regarding the Burisma Group energy company.” (Painter was implicated in the Clinton-era fundraising scandal exposed by Judicial Watch that involved the alleged sale of seats on Commerce Department trade missions to Democratic National Committee donors.)

In September 2020, State Department records include a January 17, 2017, email from George Kent, the Obama administration’s deputy assistant secretary of state in charge of Ukraine policy, which was copied to then-U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, highlighting Russia-linked media “trolling” Joe Biden over “his son’s business.” An email was sent four days prior to the inauguration of President Donald Trump to a redacted recipient and CCd to Yovanovitch with the subject line “medvedchuk-linked vesti trolls Biden.” Kent writes: “Burisma – gift that keeps on giving. (With medvedchuk affiliated Vesti pushing the troll like storyline on visit day)”

In June 2020, U.S. Secret Service records showed that, for the first five and a half years of the Obama administration, Hunter Biden traveled extensively while receiving a Secret Service protective detail. During the time period of the records provided, Hunter Biden took 411 separate domestic and international flights, including to 29 different foreign countries. He visited China five times.

Judicial Watch is also suing the DHS for Secret Service records on Hunter Biden’s travel and security costs, and suing the State Department for messages sent through the SMART (State Messaging and Archive Retrieval Toolkit) system that mention Hunter Biden.
