VIVEK RAMASWAMY: If Trump's judgment was bad, President Biden's judgment is worse for actually bringing a prosecution. He should have done what Trump did.

DANA BASH: President Biden didn't bring a prosecution.

RAMASWAMY: The Department of Justice reports to the President of the United States and so this is a —

BASH: Okay.

RAMASWAMY: Which is why I think the media needs to get to the bottom of this.

BASH: But there's no evidence. There's absolutely no evidence, unless you can show me some, that President Biden has had anything to do with this prosecution. That is why he put two layers in between.

RAMASWAMY: With due respect I think it is shameful that I as a competitor to President Trump in this race have to ask questions that the media isn't asking. The job of the political media if it has one job is to hold the U.S. government accountable.

BASH: Yes. We know that.

RAMASWAMY: Instead we're doing the bidding. You're seeing the media do the bidding of the U.S. Government. Ask the question. Get to the bottom of what Biden told Garland and what Garland told Jack Smith. If the same shoe fit the other foot you would not take their word at face value. Do not take their word now. Get to the bottom of it. Let's actually restore journalism in this country. That's what's actually missing is getting to the truth.

BASH: Okay, thank you for that. We are absolutely asking these questions.

RAMASWAMY: Good.

BASH: And we know how to be good journalists because we do it every single day.

"I spent more time on my hands and knees picking through rugs, smoking anything that even remotely resembled crack cocaine. I probably smoked more parmesan cheese than anyone that you know", a laughing Biden said during an interview with CBS News reporter Tracy Smith.

A Portland Antifa member and convicted pedophile avoided jail after pleading guilty on Thursday for stabbing a black conservative during the 2020 BLM-Antifa riots.

Antifa member, Blake David Hampe, 46, pleaded guilty in a sweetheart deal to felony second-degree attempted assault against the black conservative and will serve no jail time and instead receive three years of probation.

The charge was downgraded from the original felony second-degree assault charge, and the charge of unlawful use of a weapon was dropped in the plea deal.

During the height of far-left rioting in downtown Portland in 2020, Hampe was videoed stabbing Andrew Duncom, who was hospitalized and narrowly survived being paralyzed after the blade pierced inches from his spinal cord.




... Despite Hampe failing to attend several court dates, Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office under Mike Schmidt offered him a sweetheart resolution deal.

As The Post Millennial noted:

Hampe was active in the Portland Antifa militant circles for several years and has been witnessed by this reporter at multiple direct actions in 2019 and 2020, where he wears clothing featuring children’s cartoon characters. He had a particular hatred for the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. immigration and border officers. His past criminal history appears to shed light as to why.

In 2008, Hampe was federally convicted for possessing child sex abuse content after he was caught by U.S. Customs and Border Protection with the material on a computer upon re-entering from Nova Scotia, Canada. According to court records, officers grew suspicious of Hampe’s nervous behavior and seeing children’s toys and underwear in his car in September 2006.

“In addition to the sleeping bags, there were children’s stickers, children’s underwear, children’s towels or blankets with superheroes printed on them, and packages of trading cards,” wrote an investigator in a court filing.

“The officers also found 12 -15 condoms, a container of personal lubricant, a camera, a cell phone and an Apple laptop computer.”

They may not be very smart but they are VERY powerful and dangerous.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Department of Justice announced they have found zero evidence of bribery in a photograph of Hunter Biden carrying a bag of cash next to President Biden holding a sign that reads, "Will Trade Political Favors 4 Cash."

"Welp, no trace of bribery here," said Attorney General Merrick Garland, ripping up the photo. "Total nothing-burger."

The Department of Justice promised to review the photograph for any possible evidence of bribery after a whistle-blower made the image public. "We really looked it over, but I just can't find anything suspicious about Biden holding a sign that offers to accept bribes," said FBI Agent Ron Daniels. "There is simply nothing incriminating about Hunter standing next to him with a giant bag of cash. I don't know what people expect us to do with this."

The White House assured the American public that the judiciary remained politically neutral, and would show no bias towards the President's son. "Attorney General Garland met up with Hunter for a nice steak dinner right after Hunter's plea deal to reiterate the DOJ's impartiality," said Press Secretary Karine Jeanne-Pierre. "While several sources reported that Hunter offered Mr. Garland some crack cocaine as a thank-you, we have been assured by the DOJ that no crime was committed at the dinner. With that said, all questions, as always, can be referred to someone else."

At publishing time, the IRS had reviewed Hunter's deduction of prostitute payments from his taxes, and determined there was "no sign of any tax fraud whatsoever."

I don't thinks so. The Uniparty is Democrats with the hapless Republicans as the token party.

That's what I'm saying, the "two" parties are one. They only pretend to oppose one another. They collectively oppose the population.

There is the Democrat party as the authoritarian party and the Republicans as hapless token party.

They collectively oppose the population.

THE STUFF HUNTER BIDEN DIDN'T GET INDICTED FOR. There's no doubt Hunter Biden had some serious tax problems. In the 2010s, he took in millions from shady overseas business dealings, trading on the name of his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, and had a history of filing his returns late with six-figure amounts of taxes due. There was also his lowlife, high-cost drug addict lifestyle in which he threw away hundreds of thousands of dollars on prostitutes and crack. He had personal financial problems most people don't share.

Last week, Hunter Biden agreed to plead guilty to two misdemeanor counts of failing to pay his taxes on time. Republicans quickly dismissed it as a sweetheart deal, and they were right. IRS investigators, who did the key work in the investigation, wanted to charge Hunter Biden with felonies. The Justice Department disagreed, choosing instead to reduce the charges to misdemeanors. But those two misdemeanors do not describe the full extent of Biden's tax transgressions.

For the story, it's best to go to two transcripts released last week by the House Ways and Means Committee. The first was from IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, who oversaw the Biden investigation. Shapley's testimony has received a good bit of attention, in part because he revealed a remarkable WhatsApp message from July 30, 2017, in which Hunter Biden pressured a Chinese business associate for money by threatening to have his father, by then the former vice president, use his influence to retaliate against the associate if the money was not delivered. Hunter Biden said his father was "sitting next to me" as he made the threat, which, if true, would mean that Joe Biden was not telling the truth when he repeatedly denied knowledge of his son's business affairs. ...

If agencies are so powerful that their work to protect political allies and topple their challengers continues unabated by the electoral process, then we are not a functioning republic. ...

But if the blame — and punishment — for the DOJ corruption revealed by whistleblowers stops with Merrick Garland or even Joe Biden, it will happen again.

That’s because the Justice Department’s pattern of shielding the Biden family from the law wasn’t masterminded by either man. It happened because of career officials and bureaucrats, whose names most Americans don’t know, and whom Americans will never have the chance to vote out. They didn’t have to be told what to do. ...

The problem of a bureaucracy so bloated that the people’s elected servants in Congress and the White House can’t keep track of, let alone shut down, its mischief is not unique to the DOJ. But the Justice Department’s role as arbiter of how — or to whom — the law applies makes its rule-by-pencil-pusher especially dangerous.

Electing the right president or appointing the right attorney general will only help with that insofar as he can root out the career rot in the 115,000-employee DOJ. As the Gary Shapleys get pushed out, the integrity they bring to agencies like the DOJ and IRS will go with them.

And while corruption in the vastly left-leaning bureaucracy almost always benefits Democrats, the problem goes beyond partisan politics. If government agencies are so powerful that their work to protect political allies and topple their challengers continues unabated by the electoral process, then elections are no real transfer of power and we are not a functioning republic.

That’s not just having a bad apple for an attorney general. That is a crisis of governance.

The New York Times has confirmed one of the explosive claims made by whistleblowers speaking out against Democrat President Joe Biden and his weaponized Department of Justice (DOJ).

In a new report, the Times confirmed the allegation that the DOJ has been mishandling investigations into Hunter Biden as part of a cover-up to protect the president and his family.

However, while the NYT did confirm the claims, the information was buried deep in the left-wing newspaper’s Tuesday report.

Prosecutors Who Refused to Charge Hunter Are Biden & Harris Donors




The two prosecutors who refused to charge Hunter Biden have been exposed as Democrat donors.

According to testimony from IRS Whistleblower Gary Shapley, the prosecutors who refused to charge Hunter were U.S. Attorney for D.C. Matthew Graves and U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California E. Martin Estrada, both Biden appointees.

U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a Trump appointee who led the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) investigation into the Democrat president’s son, requested that Graves and Estrada each bring tax charges against Hunter Biden.

Weiss’s requests were rejected by both Biden-appointed prosecutors, Shapley testified. ...
