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.

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. ...
