President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign has parted ways with Marc Elias, the election lawyer who helped arrange the “Russia collusion” hoax and filed many of the lawsuits that transformed voting to enable Biden’s win in 2020.

Axios.com reported Monday:

President Biden’s team recently split with the Democratic Party’s longtime lawyer, Marc Elias, because of disagreements with Elias’ legal strategies and strained personal relationships, according to several people familiar with the dispute.

Why it matters: The divorce has created a divide in the party’s legal apparatus going into the 2024 election — with Elias representing Democrats’ committees for House, Senate and state legislative races, while Biden’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee mostly get legal help elsewhere.

Axios describes various differences in strategy and style between Elias and Biden lawyer Bob Bauer. It does not mention any of Elias’s past controversial roles.

Elias has long been notorious for challenging election results, dating back to Al Franken’s win over incumbent Republican Senator Norm Coleman in 2008 — a race that tipped the Senate toward a filibuster-proof majority for Democrats. He is also a frequent guest on MSNBC, attacking and mocking Republicans’ election challenges.

In 2017, the Washington Post revealed that Elias, who was then working for the Democratic Party0aligned Perkins Coie law firm, hired Fusion GPS, an opposition research firm, on behalf of Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee to prepare the so-called Russia “dossier.” That, in turn, helped launch an FBI investigation and fueled media conspiracy theories that sought to overturn the 2016 election.

Elias split with Perkins Coie shortly before he became a key witness in the trial of former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann. He admitted he had discretion to direct Fusion GPS’s efforts. Sussmann was acquitted by a District of Columbia jury in what some observers called an act of “jury nullification”: Trump is simply so hated inside the Beltway that he and his supporters are presumed guilty, and his opponents are presumed innocent.

In 2020, Elias helped lead Democratic Party efforts to challenge voting laws to allow for universal vote-by-mail, using the coronavirus pandemic to accelerate a strategy the party had begun to embrace in an effort to turn out their voters in higher numbers. Ironically, he also led efforts to challenge election results when Democrats lost, and even claimed in one case that voting machines were to blame.

In 2021, Elias was sanctioned by the Fifth Circuit for filing a nearly identical motion to one that had been rejected and ordered to complete a new course in legal ethics.

Elias is bad news and as much as any single person pushed the 2016 false Russia story, and bent election laws to make it easier to cheat

Elias is scum but this is further evidence of the growing distance between the Biden campaign and the rest of the Democrat party.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Believe it or not, he actually is/was an attorney(CT and DC bar member), the judge asked him about it last week. Unfortunately for him:

My man got suspended in CT for not paying his $75 annual fees, how very Hunter of him. Wink

Elias isn't stepping out of Democrat politics but rather he's not going to be a front man for Biden. My guess is that he'll be behind the scenes still pushing his shenanigans and BS, all in an effort to get Dems elected or reelected. He can go dark and work it that way.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer said Devon Archer confirmed in his appearance Monday that President Biden "lied to the American people when he said he had no knowledge about his son’s business dealings and was not involved."

Comer’s comments come after Archer, a former business associate and longtime friend of Hunter Biden, sat for hours before the House Oversight Committee in a closed-door hearing Monday.

Archer said that Hunter put his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, on speakerphone while meeting with business partners at least 20 times. Archer described how Joe Biden was put on the phone to sell "the brand."

"Joe Biden was ‘the brand’ that his son sold around the world to enrich the Biden family," Comer said. "When Joe Biden was Vice President of the United States, he joined Hunter Biden’s dinners with his foreign business associates in person or by speakerphone over 20 times."

"When Burisma’s owner was facing pressure from the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating the company for corruption, Archer testified that Burisma executives asked Hunter to ‘call D.C.’ after a Burisma board meeting in Dubai," Comer continued.

"Why did Joe Biden lie to the American people about his family’s business dealings and his involvement?" He asked. "It begs the question what else he is hiding from the American people."

Archer also testified that "Burisma would have gone out of business if ‘the brand’ had not been attached to it."

Archer said he believed that Hunter Biden being on the board and the "Biden brand" contributed to Burisma’s longevity, according to Comer’s office, and suggested that people would have been "intimidated to mess with Burisma legally because of the Biden brand."

adding:

Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman says Hunter Biden did, in fact, frequently put his dad on speakerphone for his business partners — but they were only talking about the weather

https://twitter.com/RNCResearc...s-testimony-n2626432

Rep. Andy Biggs (R., Ariz.), a member of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, said Archer testified that only pleasantries were exchanged when Joe Biden was on the phone with his son during meetings. Still, Biggs said that he was confident that the testimony implicated Biden in his son’s business activities.

“People would be intimidated to legally mess with Burisma because of the Biden family brand,” Biggs said Archer testified.

Yesterday was great! The story has changed from The Big Guy never talked to Hunter's business associates to it would have been rude for him not to say hello to people. I'm hearing Tony Bobulinski is going to testify soon. If you recall, he claims he met with The Big Guy. These are good days.

Uh huh. Who doesn't buy their phone from CVS? Totally legit! Big Grin

Hunter Biden told his 'best friend' Devon Archer to get a burner phone, three days before Archer met with then-VP Joe Biden at the White House, shocking emails show.

'Buy a cell phone from a 7/11 or CVS tmrw and ill do the same,' Hunter wrote in the explosive April 13, 2014 message.

Days later Archer would meet with Joe in the West Wing, White House records show, and he and Hunter would announce their board seats at allegedly corrupt Ukrainian gas company Burisma later that month.

Evidence Of Biden Burisma Corruption Is Overwhelming
By: Mollie Hemingway

What an amazing series of events that led to Joe Biden personally fulfilling what Burisma was paying Hunter Biden to accomplish. What are the odds?

It seems to me that the House has no choice but to begin impeachment proceedings. Otherwise, the action taken against President Trump will be revealed to be the partisan fraud it was, to all but the most clueless, inattentive or apathetic Americans.

Biden administration cancels offer for 6M barrels to refill Strategic Petroleum Reserve

https://www.washingtonexaminer...ic-petroleum-reserve

The Biden administration said it canceled its planned purchase of 6 million barrels of oil to help refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, leaving the nation's emergency stockpile at its lowest level in 40 years as oil prices trend upward.

The purchase was announced by the Department of Energy last month as part of its buyback plan to refill after the 180-million-barrel sale President Joe Biden ordered last year following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The 180-barrel drawdown ordered by Biden last year was intended to provide U.S. consumers relief from the soaring gas prices caused by Russia’s war in Ukraine.

And while the sales did help lower gas prices in the U.S. by nearly 40 cents per gallon, according to a Treasury estimate, they also drained the reserve to its lowest level in 40 years, prompting concern from some analysts, who fear the low inventory could leave the U.S. vulnerable and resource-strapped at a time of an actual supply emergency, such as a natural disaster or hurricane.

Prices also show no signs of abating in the months ahead, as Saudi Arabia’s supply cuts of 1 million barrels per day are expected to continue through at least September, tightening supplies and outpacing expected demand growth.

Last month, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm acknowledged that the administration might not be able to refill the reserve during President Joe Biden's current term.

That's ok, President Trump will fill it during his second term from increased US domestic drilling and finishing pipelines while once again directing policy to set the US on course to be energy independent, again.
