Hope Dr. Luft has a food tester handy for everything consumed and hope he doesn't get "Hillaried".

Megyn does a decent job of breaking that all down.

If like me you hadn't followed all the little details surrounding this guy Luft and why he's "missing" and all that, that 11 or so minutes helps bring it into focus.

I believe Megyn Kelly also had on her show yesterday, the day after that clip was aired, Miranda Devine to go into even further detail on all this. She's of course the journalist who broke the Hunter Laptop story in the New York Post and originally reported on Dr. Luft.

This post is speculation but there are some aspects that align w what is known

One of the possible "one eye" former FBI people is Louis Freeh.


https://nypost.com/2021/05/20/...-work-hunter-emails/


Former FBI Director Louis Freeh gave $100,000 to a trust for two of President Biden’s grandchildren as he sought to pursue “some very good and profitable matters” with him, newly surfaced emails revealed

Freeh apparently made the gift in April 2016 — when Biden was the outgoing vice president — and shortly before he told Biden’s son Hunter, “I would be delighted to do future work with you,” according to the emails.

“I also spoke to Dad a few weeks ago and would like to explore with him some future work options,” Freeh wrote on July 8, 2016.

“I believe that working together on these (and other legal) matters would be of value, fun and rewarding.”

In another email to Hunter Biden the following year, Freeh described seeing Joe Biden at church earlier in the day “and he said hi walking back from communion–I didn’t get the chance to return greetings.”

“If you have his cell and personal email, I’d like to have his contacts (will protect),” Freeh wrote on March 12, 2017.

Freeh lives in Wilmington Delaware

“I would still like to persuade him to associate with me and FSS—as we have some very good and profitable matters which he could enhance with minimal time.”

The initials FSS are an apparent reference to the law firm Freeh Sporkin & Sullivan, where Freeh, a former federal judge, was a partner at the time.

The following month, Freeh wrote Hunter Biden regarding the gift he’d made to the trust for the children of Hunter’s late brother, Beau Biden, who died of brain cancer in 2015, and Beau’s wife, Hallie, with whom Hunter later had an affair.

“As you know, our family foundation made a $100K contribution to Hallie’s children’s trust last year,” Freeh wrote on April 24, 2017.

Freeh was in a bad car accident in Aug 2014 and nearly bled out




Freeh was FBI Director 1993 to 2001. He was succeeded by Robert Mueller.

The swamp isn’t deep, but it’s extensive and malodorous.

remember when Obama said 'I Did Not Have Scandals as President'

looks like he needs to again revisit that statement, since JB was indeed part of his administration.

(Yes, I know there were others, like fast and Furious, but since this is the JB thread..... )

Regarding the video above, this just happened to whistle-blower Gal Luft.


Co-Director of Think Tank Indicted for Acting as Unregistered Foreign Agent, Trafficking in Arms, Violating U.S. Sanctions Against Iran, and Making False Statements to Federal Agents

News that will completely not surprise any of us here.

Didn’t this clown say he was bringing “decorum” back to the White House and would fire any staffer caught using foul language? “On the spot!” I seem to recall.

This kindly old grandpa “Joe from Scranton” was always a front for an asshole:


Don't f***ing bulls*** me': Biden has a 'furious temper in the White House and his staff try to avoid meeting him face-to-face because of his foul-mouthed rants'


In what should come as a surprise to no one, President Biden is a complete asshole.

Imagine that.

Funny how they made such a big deal about how mean Trump was to people who were relentlessly attacking them by calling them "bad people".

Seems like I've heard Biden use the "Lying dog Face Pony Soldier" insult before... an auto plant if I recall when a worker challenged him on something.

Hunter Biden prosecutor’s office briefed on bribery allegation before 2020 election, senator says

https://justthenews.com/accoun..._campaign=newsletter

The office of a Trump-era federal prosecutor who has led the investigation of Hunter Biden was briefed two weeks before the 2020 election that the FBI had allegations from an informant suggesting Joe Biden was involved in a bribery scheme involving Ukrainian business interests, according to new information released by a top Republican senator.

In a letter made public Monday, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, asked Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss when he first learned about the October 2020 briefing the FBI gave to one of his top prosecutors, Lesley Wolf.

“Based on information provided to my office from individuals aware of the meeting, on October 23, 2020, Justice Department and FBI Special Agents from the Pittsburgh Field Office briefed Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf, one of your top prosecutors, and FBI Special Agents from the Baltimore Field Office with respect to the contents of the FBI-generated FD- 1023 alleging a criminal bribery scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and Hunter Biden,” Grassley wrote in the letter dated Sunday.

You can read the letter here:

The existence of the FD-1023 informant memo was first disclosed by Grassley and House Oversight committee Chairman James Comer earlier this spring, transforming the congressional investigation into Hunter Biden into an inquiry also involving his father, the 46th president.

Lawmakers who have seen the memo say it indicates the FBI first learned about the bribery allegations in 2017, and the FBI has told them the allegations remain part of an ongoing investigation. The allegations specifically claim Joe Biden was part of a scheme in which $10 million was paid to his family in return for unspecified policy decisions, lawmakers have said.

Congressional investigators’ interest in the memo heightened in recent days when an IRS whistleblower, Supervisory Agent Gary Shapley, revealed to Congress he was never told about the informant allegations, even though he was leading the IRS team investigating Hunter Biden‘s finances.

Grassley wrote that while IRS agents weren’t included in the October 2020 briefing, many government officials had access to the sensitive informant report.

“Based on information provided to my office, potentially hundreds of Justice Department and FBI officials have had access to the FD-1023 at issue, which begs the question that I’ve been asking since the start of my oversight in this matter: What steps have the Justice Department and FBI taken to investigate the allegations? You, Attorney General Garland, and Director Wray have failed to answer,” the veteran senator wrote.

Grassley asked Weiss to answer a half dozen questions, including:

When he became aware of the October 2020 briefing provided by Justice Department and FBI officials to Wolf;
Whether he is aware of any steps Wolf and the Baltimore Field Office took to investigate the bribery allegations;
Why IRS agents on the case weren’t included in the October 2020 briefing;
Does the scope of Weiss’ probe include the alleged criminal scheme between a foreign national and Joe Biden;
Has Weiss taken any steps to recover the alleged audio recordings and related evidence the informant alleged existed.
Weiss has declined to answer most of lawmakers’ questions, saying he must protect private information during an ongoing investigation.

Hunter Biden has been charged with two tax misdemeanors and a gun felony and is expected to plead guilty to the tax charges in a plea deal. His first appearance is slated for later this month.

Weiss, however, on Monday, disputed one aspect of the IRS whistleblowers’ testimony, saying he never requested or was turned down to be a special counsel in the case.

“To clarify an apparent misperception and to avoid future confusion, I wish to make one point clear: in this case, I have not requested Special Counsel designation,” Weiss wrote Sen. Lindsey Graham.

Looks like the leftists have found their "out" with President Two Scoops.

Biden 'yells' and shuns 7th grandchild. Now, the most unexpected people are waking up

Oh, yes, they're "waking up, because you know, to leftists, family is the most important thing.

I thought this was pretty good. The woman is Yael Lempert, Biden’s nominee for Ambassador to Jordan. The Senator is Bill Hagerty, R, TN. Ms. Lempert felt the jaws closing, and there wasn’t a thing she could do about it. One of the many hypocracies of this administration.

Hunter Biden mystery: Why did Delaware prosecutor not bring charges his office approved?

Early 2022 memo states David Weiss’ top prosecutor supported larger felony case dating to 2014.

https://justthenews.com/accoun..._campaign=newsletter

An IRS document from early 2022 states Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss’ office signed off on bringing a felony tax evasion case against Hunter Biden that stretched back to 2014 and money from Ukraine, creating fresh intrigue as to how the president’s son ultimately escaped more serious charges and got a plea deal on tax misdemeanors involving conduct years later.

The document, a prosecution “conclusions and recommendations” memo, escaped much notice when it was released last month by the House Ways and Means Committee along with the testimony of IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley.

But it is taking on new significance now that Weiss has issued several carefully crafted statements to Congress appearing to contradict Shapley and a second whistleblower’s account of what when in the case.

Shapley and a publicly unnamed colleague were the top two IRS agents on the Hunter Biden tax case and they told Congress in a transcribed interview that Weiss’ office wanted to bring a felony tax case against Hunter Biden charging him for crimes dating to 2014 but was turned down by his Joe Biden-appointed colleagues in Washington and Los Angeles where the alleged crimes occurred.

Weiss was appointed by former President Donald Trump and was kept on by the Biden administration to continue overseeing the Hunter Biden case.

The whistleblowers allege Weiss told the investigative team he requested to be named a special counsel so he could bring the charges himself but was turned down by the Biden Justice Department and then Weiss’ office let the statute of limitations expire on crimes before 2017, a claim that directly contradicts Attorney General Merrick Garland’s testimony there were no political roadblocks to prosecuting Hunter Biden.

Weiss has issued multiple letters to Congress since Shapley’s testimony was made public, saying he couldn’t talk much about the deliberations because Hunter Biden has not yet appeared in court to consummate his plea deal.

But the chief federal prosecutor for Delaware acknowledged his ability to file criminal charges was "geographically limited” from bringing tax charges in the two other cities and would have first consulted his colleagues in those districts. He also has flatly denied he ever requested or was denied special counsel status while suggesting he could have requested “special attorney” status to bring the charges in the districts outside Delaware.

“I've followed the process outlined in my June 30 letter and have never been denied the authority to bring charges in any jurisdiction," Weiss wrote in a letter this week to Sen. Lindsey Graham, the top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Weiss’ current account to Congress is essentially that he had the authority to bring the charges, which is begging the question across Washington as to why he did not charge Hunter Biden for the felonies dating to 2014 that Shapley and the other agent described in their testimonies.

That question is taking on more significance with the IRS memo completed Jan. 27, 2022, that flatly states both a prosecutor in the DOJ tax division named Mark Daly and Weiss’ top deputy on the case, Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf, reviewed the memo and that Wolf herself signed off on charging Hunter Biden for felony tax charges alleging he did not pay taxes all the way back to 2014, including on $400,000 in income from the controversial Burisma Holdings energy company in Ukraine.

“The recommendation for prosecution is based on the facts above and recommends that RHB (Robert Hunter Biden) be prosecuted under the provisions of Title 26 USC Sections 7201and 7206 (1) for the tax years 2014, 2018 and 2019 and under the provisions of Title 26 USC Section 7203 for the tax years 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019,” the IRS memo signed by the case agent and approved by Shapley stated.

“A draft of this SAR has been given to DOJ-Tax Senior Attorney Mark Da!y, as well as Assistant United States Attorney Lesley Wolf,” the memo also states. “AUSA Wolf has reviewed the appendices and the charges cited in this report and agrees with the prosecution recommendation of the above cited charges against RHB.”

You can read that memo here.

Congressional investigators and one of Shapley’s lawyers told Just the News they are confused about why Weiss is claiming he had the authority to bring whatever case he wanted, then didn’t bring the one his office signed onto in the prosecution memo.

“Lesley Wolf concurred with the recommendation memo from the agents that the 2014 year should be charged and that they should be charged as felonies,” Empower Oversight whistleblower center found Jason Foster, one of Shapley’s lawyers, told the John Solomon Reports podcast. "She is Weiss's agent in those discussions. She is the primary person at the ground level. She's the person who Gary Shapley would have had the most interactions with the most frequently on the prosecution team."

“She wouldn't have agreed and put that in and allowed them to put that in writing if she didn't have Weiss's agreement,” Foster also said. “So then the question becomes for Weiss, why on earth would, if he had the authority to bring the charges, this magic golden ticket that was never written down, apparently by Merrick Garland that he could bring charges wherever he wanted, whatever he wanted, then why did he not do so?”

Such intrigue has even reached the presidential campaign trail, where GOP candidate and former U.S. Attorney Chris Christie has openly questioned Weiss’ performance.

“U.S. attorney Weiss has to explain himself, and he has to explain himself in public,” Christie told Fox News this week. He added: "This investigation into Hunter Biden in Delaware is either a lie or is incompetent.”

“There’s no way that it should take five years to get to a two-count misdemeanor tax plea and to dismiss the gun charges.”

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, has added a second line of inquiry about Weiss, revealing this week that Weiss’ office in the person of Wolf was briefed two weeks before the 2020 presidential election that the FBI had an informant alleging Joe Biden was involved in a bribery scheme involving Ukraine and Burisma. The briefing occurred in October 2020.

The revelation “begs the question that I’ve been asking since the start of my oversight in this matter: What steps have the Justice Department and FBI taken to investigate the allegations?” Grassley wrote Weiss on Sunday, “You, Attorney General Garland, and Director Wray have failed to answer.”

FBI Dir Wray testimony

Three Key Questions FBI Director Wray Refused to Answer Under Oath

Wray, who appeared voluntarily before the committee, appeared at times annoyed by the questions asked by Republicans, who were charged with conducting oversight of the “politicization of the nation’s preeminent law enforcement agency,” according to the scheduled hearing.

In his opening statement, Wray promised to discuss “what the FBI is doing to address … threats and what the FBI is doing to ensure that our people adhere to the highest of standards while it conducts its mission.” Despite his claims of transparency, Wray refused to answer three key questions from House members:

1) Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY): How Was the Second Bomb Found at the Democrat National Committee Headquarters?

“Regarding an interview with the Assistant Director Stephen D’Antuono, Chairman Jordan and I sent you a letter a month ago. Some of the information that we found in that interview was that phone data that could have helped to identify the pipe bomber was corrupted, was unusable. He also wasn’t sure who found or how the second bomb was found at the DNC,” Rep. Thomas Massie prefaced the question to Wray.

“Do you know how the second bomb was found at the DNC?” he asked. “And when do you plan on answering our letter?”

“Well, as to the letter, I will work with the department to make sure we can figure out what information we can provide. As you know, this is a very active ongoing investigation. And there are some restrictions on that,” Wray said.

“Can you can you tell us how the second pipe bomb was found at the DNC?” Massie asked again.

“I’m not going to get into that here,” Wray responded.


“Nine hundred days ago this happened and you said you had total confidence we’d apprehend the subject,” Massie stated:

2) Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL): Was Hunter Biden Shaking Down CEFC China Energy Co. for Money?

Gaetz asked if Hunter Biden tried to shakedown CEFC China Energy Co. business partners for millions of dollars while “sitting” next to his father via a WhatsApp text from 2017:

I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight.

And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.

“Sounds like a shakedown, doesn’t director?” Gaetz asked after reading the message to Wray.

“I’m not going to get into commenting on that,” Wray responded.

“You seem deeply uncurious about it, don’t you? Almost suspiciously uncurious,” Gaetz said. “Are you protecting the Bidens?”

“Absolutely not,” said. “The FBI does not, has no interest in protecting anyone politically.”

“You won’t answer the question about whether or not that’s a shakedown?,” Gaetz rhetorically asked. “And everybody knows why you won’t answer it. Because to the millions of people who will see this, they know it is and your inability to acknowledge that is deeply revealing about you”:

3) Rep. Andy Bigg’s (R-AZ): Whether Undercover Assets or Confidential Human Sources Were at January 6:

“How many agents were actually – agents or human resources – were present at the Capitol complex in vicinity on January 6?,” Rep. Andy Biggs asked Wray.

“Well, again, it’s gonna get confusing, because it depends on when we were deployed and responded to the breach that occurred,” Wray said.

“You and I both know that we are talking different things here. And please don’t distract because we’re focusing on those who were there in an undercover capacity on January 6. How many were there?” Biggs asked.

“Again, I’m not sure that I can give you that number. As I sit here. I’m not sure there were undercover agents on scene,” Wray said.

“I find that kind of a remarkable statement, director. At this point, you don’t know whether there were undercover federal agents, FBI agents in the crowd or in the Capitol on January 6?” Biggs continued to press Wray.

“I say that because I want to be very careful. There have been a number of court filings related to some of these topics,” Wray said.

“I thought I heard you say you didn’t know whether there were FBI agents or informants or human sources in the Capitol or in the vicinity on January 6,” Biggs said. “Did I misunderstand you?”

“So are you acknowledging that there were undercover agents?” Biggs asked.

“As I sit here, right now, I do not believe there were undercover agents,” Wray responded.

“Did you have any assets present that day? In the crowd when it comes to what you’re calling assets or what we would call confidential human sources?” Biggs asked again.

“I want to be careful as much as I said in response to an earlier question,” Wray responded. “There are court filings that I think speak to this that I’m happy to make sure we get to you assuming they’re not under seal. And that can better answer the question than I can as I sit here right now”:
