Breaking News: Americans discover they put Biden in the right place at the wrong time . . .

 Whole lotta refried confusion goin' on.



LOL, classified documents he wasn't supposed to have in the first place were "filed in the wrong place" Biden says

 


“We found a handful of documents were filed in the wrong place,” Biden explained Thursday during a tour of storm damage in California.


FBI found more documents Friday in a 13-hour search of Biden's home in the presence of Biden's attorneys. Trump's attorneys were not allowed to be present during the FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago.

There is no daylight between the IRS and today's left, which laughably presents The State as the chief check on wealth when it's the chief partner

 

 


Biden unlawfully possessed top secret documents for years before moving them to UPenn in 2018 and the FBI was never tasked with finding out how and why

 The initial documents, including some classified at the highest security level, were discovered in an office that didn’t open until 2018—meaning they were moved there from yet another unauthorized location and heightening the likelihood of more document finds. ... Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden are handled with kid gloves. Carter Page and Donald Trump—not to mention low-profile suspects—face the bluntest federal law-enforcement tools. ... The Justice Department seems unlikely to be done bestowing conveniences on this president.

LOL, griftor Louder with Crowder in $50 million contract dispute with griftee The Daily Wire

 “We here at Mug Club, we thought that we were all in this together, that we were fighting the media-entertainment industrial complex,” he fumed. “We thought that we were all genuinely taking it to Big Tech. But, too many of those in charge of the big conservative platforms are verifiably in bed with them. Big Tech is in bed with Big Con. The people you thought, the people I thought were fighting for you, a lot of it has been a big con.” ...  (Crowder, in his initial rant, failed to mention that he was offered $50 million over four years.)

After Nov 2 discovery of UPenn Biden Center classified documents, FBI agreed to let search for more documents be handled by the fox in the chicken coop

 DOJ and FBI are as corrupt as the day is long.

The Wall Street Journal, here:  

After Mr. Biden’s lawyers discovered documents marked as classified dating from his term as vice president at an office he used at a Washington-based think tank on Nov. 2, the Justice Department opened an inquiry into why and how they got there. Mr. Biden’s legal team prepared to search his other properties for any similar documents, and discussed with the Justice Department the prospect of having FBI agents present while Mr. Biden’s lawyers conducted the additional searches.
Instead, the two sides agreed that Mr. Biden’s personal attorneys would inspect the homes, notify the Justice Department as soon as they identified any other potentially classified records, and arrange for law-enforcement authorities to take them. 


The Congress' biggest ding-dongs believed the Russian Twitter bots hoax: Rep. Adam Schiff, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, and Sen. Diane Feinstein

 Over and over, Twitter – which was hardly sympathetic to Trump – told Schiff and his colleagues there was simply no evidence of Russian involvement. As much as some Twitter employees may have liked to report the opposite, to their credit they refused to participate in the scam.

Even after Twitter had informed Schiff and his fellow hoaxers that there was no Russian involvement, Sen. Blumenthal released a statement he knew was not true: “We find it reprehensible that Russian agents have so eagerly manipulated innocent Americans.” Again, this was right after he had been informed by Twitter employees - who were by-and-large strongly opposed to Trump - that there was just no evidence to back up such a statement.

FBI, completely in the tank for Joe Biden, declined invitation to search Biden's home and let Joe's lawyers without security clearances conduct the search

 Abolish the FBI. Impeach Biden.

Jonathan Turley, here:

". . . there was no 302, which is the type of document that many of us use on criminal defense work. It is essentially the record created in criminal cases by FBI agents. So this was treated as a very informal interview."

"The fact is that by November 2nd, they had found highly classified documents," Turley said. "They did not know how many more existed. They did know that these documents likely had been transferred more than once, and that they had been out there for probably six years. So in the midst of all of that, according to the 'Wall Street Journal,' they were offered the opportunity to search the Biden residence. Now, why on Earth would the FBI not take that opportunity? I mean, what is the possible reason for saying, no, we're really not inclined to do that. You're embarrassing us. You, you go ahead and do it. It's bizarre. And so not only did they allow uncleared lawyers to look for highly classified information, but those lawyers then continue to find them over 60 days and the FBI doesn't seem to have done a thing."

Third Monday of January is the most depressing day of the year


The term Blue Monday was coined by psychologist Dr Cliff Arnall, who worked out a formula to show how the third Monday in January is especially bad. 

It takes into account factors including the average time for New Year's resolutions to fail, the bad weather, debt, the time since Christmas and motivational levels. ...

The main theory suggests that a lack of sunlight may stop a part of the brain called the hypothalamus from working properly.

Joe Biden: One law for me, another for thee

Why was it not until Nov. 2, 2022, that his lawyers were emptying the old [UPenn] office? ... The biggest problem with the Joe Biden documents story is that we know only what Joe Biden's lawyers have told us.  And that is just the way Biden wants it.

The Mar-a-Lago raid was on August 8, 2022, that's why.

Right on cue, The New York Times does damage control for VP Joe Biden, trying to excuse his possession of classified documents as an accident of the last, frenetic days of the Obama Administration

 What a crock.

The only frenzy was "Holy shit, now that Trump's elected, not Hillary, we've got a lot to hide before he takes over or we're toast".

 


 


Today's drinking phrase is "third discovery of VP Biden classified documents"

 From when he was VP, not president.

This time in his house, and not in the garage.

Saying "third" is being avoided at all costs, as is "in the house" on the advice of the Maoist Bob Bauer.

Mar-a-Lago chickens . . . comin' home . . . to roost. 

 

Additional classified government documents [third batch] were found at President Joe Biden’s Delaware home this week, the White House confirmed Saturday.

In a statement, Richard Sauber, White House special counsel, said that a total of six pages of documents with classification markings were discovered at Biden’s Wilmington residence. [statement conflates second and third discoveries] The White House previously said that only one page was found there.

The first document [second batch] was identified on Wednesday by Biden’s personal lawyer and turned over, and the additional five documents were discovered later that week [third batch . . . yesterday], Sauber said. ...

According to a statement Saturday from Biden’s personal attorney Bob Bauer, the second batch of documents was discovered in the garage of Biden’s Delaware residence on Dec. 20. The president’s attorneys [why not the FBI?] conducted another search of the home to look for other classified materials beginning Wednesday, which is when they found the additional records [third batch] in a room adjacent to the garage. ...

Bauer said the attorneys do not have security clearances, which means they are not aware of the exact number of documents or their content.

 

What will they find when they search Dr. Jill Biden's underwear drawer?

Presumably nothing, because Biden's own attorneys are searching Biden's home, not the FBI.

ALL THESE PEOPLE NEED TO GO.

The story here came out yesterday around noon while everyone was busy with Saturday errands and living for the weekend.
