Top Congressman Calls for Probe of Secret Service’s ‘Bizarre’ Actions

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1929: The St. Valentine’s Day Massacre in Chicago — seven gangsters killed, allegedly on Al Capone’s orders.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) has called for an investigation into the Secret Service over its alleged role in a “bizarre” effort to protect Hunter Biden.

Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, raised concerns over the fact Hunter Biden was shielded by the Secret Service in 2018 — while the Biden family did not have protection from the agency.

“Joe Biden received Secret Service protection six months after he left the vice presidency and at the point when he declared for president. So there was about a two-and-a-half-year period there where the American people weren’t providing Secret Service protection for the Bidens, yet there are numerous instances where the Secret Service always showed up to try to help Hunter Biden,” Comer said during an appearance on Fox News. “It’s bizarre.”

The Republican congressman joined the Fox News show Fox & Friends First to discuss the concerns raised by a new report that shows the Secret Service’s alleged involvement in a 2018 incident regarding Hunter Biden’s firearm.

“There are numerous instances where the Secret Service came and tried to bail Hunter out when he was in a jam,” Comer said. “When he was in California and getting in all kinds of trouble — getting kicked out of a very exclusive hotel there — the Secret Service showed up to try to see if there was some way they could get him back to Delaware, to his family, to protect him.” 

“And then with this gun application, there’s reports that the Secret Service went and visited the gun dealer and wanted a copy of the application,” he continued. “And I don’t believe the gun dealer gave the Secret Service a copy of that application — but regardless of the fact, at that point in time, Joe Biden did not have Secret Service protection.”

Comer called on President Joe Biden to “come forward and be transparent, not just with the American people, but especially with the House Oversight Committee, because we have a major investigation here and the Secret Service should now [be] a part of it.”

Senator Demands Answers on FBI “Collusion”

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1992: Operation Restore Hope – U.S. Marines land in Somalia.

In the wake of the Twitter Files revealing the effort to suppress the Hunter Biden laptop story, Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) is demanding answers on the FBI’s involvement.

“You had the collusion between the FBI and social media in downplaying the laptop as Russian disinformation. And now people are saying, well, it was really true,” Blackburn said during an appearance on Fox Business.

“And so people want to know how far did this go, that cooperation between the FBI and social media, how deep was that? Exactly who all was involved with it?” the lawmaker questioned.

Blackburn’s remarks come just a few days after the release of bombshell information about the intricacies behind Twitter’s suppression of a New York Post report on Hunter Biden’s laptop shortly before the 2020 election.

“Answers need to be given,” Blackburn said. “People need to be held to account. I look forward to Republicans taking over the House in January and beginning to push some of that forward so we can then amplify that and push it in the Senate.”

The Tennessee senator’s comments echoed that of her GOP colleagues, who believe that Hunter Biden’s emails implicate untoward influence by his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden.

“Biden, Inc., as I call it, has been big business for the past 50 years. And Joe Biden, his children, his siblings have all been a part of this,” Blackburn said. “They have built their career off Joe Biden’s public service.”

Leaked Emails Reveal Big Tech Helped Snag the 2020 Election

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
2006: NASA reveals photographs taken by Mars Global Surveyor suggesting the presence of liquid water on Mars.

Journalist Matt Taibbi published the “Twitter Files,” a bombshell report based on internal documents revealing that the platform has removed posts at the request of outsiders — including Joe Biden’s presidential campaign.

The report, published via a lengthy tweet thread, revealed that “Twitter took extraordinary steps to suppress” the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story.

“Twitter took extraordinary steps to suppress the story, removing links and posting warnings that it may be ‘unsafe,'” Taibbi wrote. “They even blocked its transmission via direct message, a tool hitherto reserved for extreme cases, e.g. child pornography.”

Taibbi noted that the decision to censor the story was made at “the highest levels of the company, but without the knowledge of CEO Jack Dorsey.”

Damning emails and remarks from former Twitter employees showed that “everyone knew” the platform’s suppression of the Post’s story “was f—ked.”

Several Twitter sources reportedly recalled hearing about a “general” warning from federal law enforcement in the summer of 2020 about potential foreign hacks, but Taibbi noted that “there’s no evidence — that I’ve seen — of any government involvement in the laptop story.”

“They just freelanced it,” a former employee told Taibbi about how the decision to censor the story came about. 

“Hacking was the excuse, but within a few hours, pretty much everyone realized that wasn’t going to hold. But no one had the guts to reverse it,” the ex-employee added. 

Internal emails revealed that high-level Twitter executives were puzzled by the decision to suppress the Post’s story.

“I’m struggling to understand the policy basis for marking this as unsafe,” Trenton Kennedy, a communications official wrote in an internal email to colleagues. 

Twitter removed tweets at the request of ‘the Biden team’ and the DNC

Taibbi also revealed company emails responding to a request “from the Biden team” in the run-up to the 2020 election — not long after the platform cracked down on the Post’s story.

One, dated Oct. 24, 2020, said, “More to review from the Biden team,” along with a list of tweets.

In response, someone wrote back, “handled these.”

Another, dated Oct. 24, 2020, said, “An additional report from DNC,” an apparent reference to the Democratic National Committee.

New York Post columnist reveals the FBI’s involvement

New York Post columnist Miranda Devine, who was a major part of breaking the Hunter Biden laptop story, told Sky News Australia that the Twitter Files “left out a crucial part” — the FBI’s involvement.

“They were having weekly meetings in San Francisco with executives from Twitter and Facebook, and they were seeding this lie that there was going to be a hack and leak operation run by the Russians that was going to provide damaging material about what was rumored to be Hunter Biden,” Devine said.

“They knew that the story was going to come out, and therefore Twitter and Facebook censored it within hours of it going live on our website,” she continued.

“The FBI had had the laptop in their own possession since December of 2019 – for almost a year – and they knew it was real and not hacked. They were pre-bunking the story with big tech.”

Devine noted that it’s illegal for the FBI, the federal government “to coerce a private company like Twitter or Facebook to violate the First Amendment.”

Trump addresses the bombshell report

Former President Donald Trump addressed the Twitter Files in a statement posted to Truth Social:

“So, with the revelation of MASSIVE & WIDESPREAD FRAUD & DECEPTION in working closely with Big Tech Companies, the DNC, & the Democrat Party, do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION? A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution. Our great “Founders” did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!”

White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said Trump’s remarks are “anathema to the soul of our nation, and should be universally condemned.”

“You cannot only love America when you win,” Bates told CNN in a statement. “The American Constitution is a sacrosanct document that for over 200 years has guaranteed that freedom and the rule of law prevail in our great country. The Constitution brings the American people together – regardless of party – and elected leaders swear to uphold it. It’s the ultimate monument to all of the Americans who have given their lives to defeat self-serving despots that abused their power and trampled on fundamental rights.”

House GOP Opens Investigation into Joe Biden

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
2017: Robert Mugabe’s resignation after 37 years in power is read out in Zimbabwe’s parliaments during impeachment proceedings.

House Republicans, who won control of the House of Representatives in the midterm elections, have announced their top oversight priority when they officially take the reigns next year: investigating President Joe Biden and his son Hunter’s business dealings.

“In the 118th Congress, this committee will evaluate the status of Joe Biden’s relationship with his family’s foreign partners and whether he is a President who is compromised or swayed by foreign dollars and influence,” said Rep. James Comer (R-KY), the top Republican on the House Oversight and Reform Committee.

“I want to be clear. This is an investigation of Joe Biden. That’s where the committee will focus in this next Congress,” he added.

The announcement came during a news conference held by Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), who’s expected to become chair of the House Judiciary Committee, and other GOP members of the House Oversight Committee.

“This committee will evaluate the status of Joe Biden’s relationship with his family’s foreign partners and whether he is a president who is compromised or swayed by foreign dollars and influence,” Comer said.

Comer said that the committee has obtained Suspicious Activity Reports from banks that are allegedly related to the Bidens. The lawmaker noted that the Treasury Department previously ignored his repeated requests to provide the reports. There are more than 100, Comer said, and he’s only seen two of them so far.

“Was Joe Biden directly involved with Hunter Biden’s business deals, and is he compromised? That’s our investigation,” Comer said.

The lawmakers also released a 32-page interim staff report outlining their findings, entitled “A President Compromised: The Biden Family Investigation.”

The White House responded to the announcement, accusing House Republicans of mounting “politically motivated attacks chock full of long-debunked conspiracy theories.”

“President Biden is not going to let these political attacks distract him from focusing on Americans’ priorities, and we hope congressional Republicans will join us in tackling them instead of wasting time and resources on political revenge” a spokesperson for the White House Counsel’s office said in a statement.

Whistleblowers: Joe Biden Was Well Aware of Hunter’s Shady Business Dealings

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1929: “Black Thursday,” start of stock market crash, Dow Jones down 12.8%.

New documents from whistleblowers reveal that President Joe Biden “was aware of Hunter Biden’s business arrangements and may have been involved in some of them,” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said.

In a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss, Grassley outlined the new whistleblower allegations that claim the FBI has “significant, impactful and voluminous evidence with respect to potential criminal conduct by Hunter Biden and James Biden,” Fox News reported.

The whistleblowers allege that the FBI possesses documents relating to information on Mykola Zlochevsky, owner of Burisma Holdings — where Hunter Biden sat on the board.

“The documents in the FBI’s possession include specific details with respect to conversations by non-government individuals relevant to potential criminal conduct by Hunter Biden,” Grassley wrote.

“These documents also indicate that Joe Biden was aware of Hunter Biden’s business arrangements and may have been involved in some of them,” he continued.

The lawmaker noted that it’s “unclear whether the FBI followed normal investigative procedure to determine the truth and accuracy of the information or shut down investigative activity based on improper disinformation claims in advance of the 2020 election.”

“It is also unclear whether U.S. Attorney Weiss has performed his own due diligence on these and related allegations,” Grassley wrote.

Grassley and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) led an investigation into Hunter Biden starting in 2019, finding that officials within the Obama administration “knew” of Hunter’s “problematic” position on the board, saying that it interfered “in the efficient execution of policy with respect to Ukraine.”

Hunter Biden joined Burisma’s board in April 2014, while his father was serving as vice president under then-President Barack Obama, and running U.S.-Ukraine relations and policy for the administration.

Additionally, Grassley noted an Oct. 2020 FBI interview with Hunter Biden’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski, wherein he stated that Hunter and his uncle, James Biden, had created a business agreement with foreign nationals connected to the Chinese government during Joe’s tenure as VP.

The summary of Bobulinski’s interview states that work “remained intentionally uncompensated while Joe Biden was vice president,” Grassley said.

“After Joe Biden left the vice presidency, the summary makes clear that Hunter Biden and James Biden worked with CEFC and affiliated individuals to compensate them for that past work and benefits they procured for CEFC,” Grassley said.

Hunter Biden, James Biden, and CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming created SinoHawk Holdings, a joint venture that would be a “vehicle to accomplish that financial compensation.”

Bobulinski told the FBI that 10% of Hunter Biden’s SinoHawk interest was “to be held for Joe Biden.”

Grassley said the FBI “has a document within its possession that notes that then former Vice President Joe Biden met with Hunter Biden and his business associates at a conference in Los Angeles on May 2, 2017 and May 3, 2017.”

In his letter, Grassley said that those meetings “have been publicly disclosed; however, the fact that the FBI maintains documents referencing these data points has not been made public before.”

Based on the whistleblower allegations, Grassley said that Bobulinski’s interview established a “sufficient basis to open a full field investigation on pay-to-play grounds,” but added that it’s unclear whether the FBI has done so, or if the information is being used in an ongoing criminal investigation by U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss.

Grassley said that both the Justice Department and FBI “have not disputed the accuracy of the allegations.”

“The Justice Department’s and FBI’s continued silence on these matters is deafening and further erodes their credibility,” he wrote. “Simply put, enough is enough – the Justice Department and FBI must come clean to Congress and the American people with respect to the steps they have taken, or failed to take, relating to the Hunter Biden investigation.”

Charges Against Hunter Biden Are “Imminent”

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1945: Microwave oven patented by U.S. inventor Percy Spencer.

Federal investigators think they have gathered enough evidence to charge President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden with crimes related to taxes and falsifying paperwork to purchase a gun, according to a report.

The Washington Post reported that federal prosecutors “determined months ago” that they had a viable criminal case against the president’s 52-year-old son, but agents do not have the ability to file charges. Only the U.S. attorney in Delaware, David Weiss, has that authority. Weiss was appointed by former President Donald Trump in 2018, the same year that the probe into Hunter Biden began.

A former senior official in the Department of Justice told Fox News that the next step may be “imminent.”

Hunter Biden’s attorney Chris Clark was incensed over the report, saying that if a federal agent had leaked information pertaining to the investigation, they had committed a federal felony.

“It is a federal felony for a federal agent to leak information about a Grand Jury investigation such as this one,” Clark said in a statement.

Clark said he has not had any contact “whatsoever with any federal investigative agent.” 

“Therefore, a rendition of the case from such an ‘agent’ is inherently biased, one-sided, and inaccurate. It is regrettable that law enforcement agents appear to be violating the law to prejudice a case against a person who is a target simply because of his family name,” Clark said.

33 Senators Request Special Counsel to Investigate Hunter Biden

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1922: U.S. President Warren G. Harding signs a joint resolution of approval to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine.

33 Senators sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, requesting that he grant U.S. Attorney David Weiss the authority of a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings.

“Given the politicization of the DOJ under your watch and the importance of avoiding any appearance of impropriety, the undersigned request that you provide U.S. Attorney Weiss the full protections and authorities of a special counsel,” the letter reads.

“This is one important action that you can take that will go a long way in restoring faith in our governmental institutions.”

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) led the charge, with 32 other GOP senators signing the letter, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

“There is no way of knowing the entire scope of the investigation, but evidence seems to be mounting that Hunter Biden committed numerous federal crimes, including, but not limited to, tax fraud, money laundering, and foreign-lobbying violations,” the letter reads.

“Indeed, Senators [Chuck] Grassley and [Ron] Johnson have conducted an investigation for several years that has resulted in the public discourse of facts that support those criminal concerns, including the disclosure of financial records showing the Biden family’s close financial connections to the communist Chinese government and questionable foreign nationals.”

“It is clear that Hunter Biden thrived off a ‘pay to play’ culture of access to his father, then Vice President Joe Biden in exchange for financial compensation.”

The lawmakers sent the letter one day after CBS aired an interview with President Joe Biden wherein he claimed that his son’s foreign business affairs didn’t present any conflicts of interest for him.

“There’s not a single thing that I’ve observed at all that would affect me or the United States relative to my son Hunter,” Biden said in the interview.

Zuckerberg Admits Facebook Suppressed Hunter Biden Laptop Story

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1830: 1st American built locomotive, “Tom Thumb,” races a horse-drawn car from Stockton and Stokes stagecoach company from Baltimore to Ellicott Mills. Let history record that due to mechanical problems the horse won!

Mark Zuckerberg admitted that Facebook did suppress articles related to the New York Post’s Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 presidential election after the FBI warned about “Russian propaganda.”

The Meta CEO’s claim came during a lengthy interview with “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.

Zuckerberg told host Joe Rogan that the FBI approached Facebook with a warning that they “should be on high alert.”

Zuckerberg said the FBI believed that a “dump” of “Russian propaganda” was about to occur, and the bureau warned them to “be vigilant.”

“We just kind of thought: Hey, look, if the FBI, which I still view is a legitimate institution in this country, it’s a very professional law enforcement — they come to us and tell us that we need to be on guard about something, then I want to take that seriously,” Zuckerberg said.

When Rogan asked if the FBI had specifically mentioned the New York Post’s story, Zuckerberg said he couldn’t remember.

“No, I don’t remember if it was that specifically, but it basically fit the pattern,” he said.

Rogan asked Zuckerberg how many people were deprived of the information.

“I don’t know off the top of my head, but it’s – it’s meaningful,” Zuckerberg responded.

Several lawmakers expressed alarm at Zuckerberg’s revelation, saying it demonstrated that the federal government and Big Tech had colluded.

“The FBI colluded with Big Tech to silence news stories weeks before the 2020 election in an attempt to control your access to information,” House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said.

“Democrats in Congress have been intentionally ignoring the facts. When Republicans are back in charge, we will hold all of them accountable.”

FBI Director Addresses “Deeply Troubling” Accusations

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1945: Atomic bomb was dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima by the US B-29 Superfortress “Enola Gay.”

Christopher Wray, the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), addressed FBI agents allegedly labeling damaging information about Hunter Biden as misinformation, saying the whistleblowers’ claims are “deeply troubling.”

During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing earlier this week, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) asked Wray about the allegations from “highly credible whistleblowers.”

“When I read the letter that describes the kinds of things that you’re talking about, I found it deeply troubling,” Wray said.

Wray also vowed that the whistleblowers would be protected.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) has called on Wray to take more action.

“It’s about time Director Wray acknowledges that the politicization of the FBI is ‘deeply troubling,’” Johnson told Fox News. “Unfortunately, this has been obvious during his entire tenure as director, and he’s done nothing about it.” 

“I suppose better late than never,” he added. “But I’m not holding my breath.”

Senator Alleges Widespread FBI Effort to Downplay Negative Information About Hunter Biden

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1586: Walter Raleigh brings the 1st tobacco to England from Virginia.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) claims that “highly credible” whistleblowers have informed him of a widespread effort within the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to downplay or discredit “derogatory information” about President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden.

Grassley outlined his concerns in a July 25 letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland.

“The information provided to my office involves concerns about the FBI’s receipt and use of derogatory information relating to Hunter Biden, and the FBI’s false portrayal of acquired evidence as disinformation,” Grassley wrote. “The volume and consistency of these allegations substantiate their credibility and necessitate this letter.” 

Grassley, the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said that the whistleblowers claimed that the agency dismissed legitimate intelligence about Hunter Biden as “disinformation.”

The Iowa senator stressed that if the whistleblowers’ claims were true, then the agencies are “institutionally corrupted to their very core.”

“You have an obligation to the country to take these allegations seriously, immediately investigate and take steps to institute fixes to these and other matters before you,” Grassley wrote.

The whistleblowers claimed that in 2020, “the FBI developed information about Hunter Biden’s criminal financial and related activity,” Grassley wrote.

“Based on allegations, verified and verifiable derogatory information on Hunter Biden was falsely labeled as disinformation,” he continued.

Grassley added that such action continued until at least October 2020, shortly before the presidential election. The information was dismissed as disinformation even though it was “either verified or verifiable via criminal search warrants.”

The assistant special agent in charge then “allegedly ordered the matter closed without providing a valid reason” — and then “attempted to improperly mark the matter in FBI systems so that it could not be opened in the future,” Grassley wrote.

“If these allegations are true and accurate, the Justice Department and FBI are – and have been – institutionally corrupted to their very core to the point in which the United States Congress and the American people will have no confidence in the equal application of the law.”

“Attorney General Garland and Director Wray, simply put, based on the allegations that I’ve received from numerous whistleblowers, you have systemic and existential problems within your agencies,” Grassley concluded.

The senator demanded an investigation and release of any documents on the dismissed probes into Hunter Biden.
