House Investigators Subpoena DOJ Official Accused of Thwarting Biden Probes.

A subpoena has been issued to Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf to give a closed-door deposition at an investigation led by House lawmakers. The investigation centers on the allegation that the Justice Department may have suppressed an inquiry into President Biden and his son, Hunter Biden. Wolf, the subject of whistleblower complaints, is accused of steering the FBI and IRS away from thorough investigative actions towards the Bidens. Republican Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, who signed the subpoena, appealed to Wolf’s unique knowledge of the circumstances and suggested the investigation’s completeness depends on the information she can provide.

The whistleblowers’ claims against Ms. Wolf hinge on her leadership role in Delaware U.S. Attorney’s Office. Wolf is implicated in obstructing their efforts to fully investigate Hunter Biden on tax fraud charges and pursue evidence potentially implicating President Biden. Specifically, Wolf is accused of blocking investigators from further pursuing a potential influence-peddling scheme. The complaint lists actions, including alerting Hunter’s legal team about a potential search warrant and objecting to its execution.

While the Justice Department has allowed other top officials to testify, special attention lies on Wolf due to her direct involvement in the day-to-day supervision of the investigation. The whistleblowers claim that Wolf played a key role in thwarting the investigation into Hunter Biden’s alleged tax fraud and possible involvement of his father. Meanwhile, the Justice Department denies any protective measures taken for the Bidens, and Democrats have called the GOP’s investigation as unfounded and wasteful.

The New York Times’s ‘Conservative’ Lawyers Aren’t Conservatives At All.

The New York Times is elevating a slate of ostensibly ‘conservative’ jurists as an alternative to the center-right Federalist Society. Writing in the Times, anti-Trump Republicans George Conway, Barbara Comstock, and J. Michael Luttig argue the Federalist Society has “…conspicuously declined to speak out against the constitutional and other legal excesses of Mr. Trump and his administration.”

In response the three are announcing the formation of a new legal non-profit, Society for the Rule of Law Institute, they say will “rebuild a conservative legal movement that supports and defends American democracy, the Constitution and the rule of law.” In reality, the new group has less to do with promoting conservative legal theory and more with lobbying and pro-corporate deregulation.

George Conway, the infamous ex-husband of Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway, is a former partner at Wachtell Lipton, a lobbying firm with deep ties in the defense and airline industries. His co-authors, Barbara Comstock – a lawyer and former anti-Trump Republican Congresswoman – and former U.S. Appeals Court Judge J. Michael Luttig both have close ties corporate interests as well. Comstock has lobbied on behalf of Carnival Cruise Corporation, the fin-tech industry, and serves as a senior advisor to the K Street firm Baker Donelson. J. Michael Luttig left his cushy judgeship for the lucrative job of general counsel for Boeing – a position he held from 2006 until 2019.

The legal scholars being promoted by the three anti-Trump lawyers and their new legal group have just as equally concerning corporate and political ties. Former federal appellate judge Michael McConnell, a legal scholar the group says is a “model for a new and more responsible conservative legal movement” clerked for Supreme Court Justice William Brennan who led the high court’s liberal-wing. McConnell, far from a conservative, holds a fairly hardline libertarian view of the law – often ruling against government attempts to regulate corporations – and was vocally critical of the Supreme Court’s Bush v. Gore decision.

Another former federal appellate judge named by the group, Thomas B. Griffith, has a long track-record of liberal legal decisions that led then Sens. Barack Obama and Joe Biden to support his 2005 nomination to the federal circuit court. At the time, the Washington Post praised Griffith’s nomination noting he is “widely respected by people in both parties.”

The last legal scholar the group names is Princeton political scientist Keith Whittington, another libertarian-leaning legal theorist who appears to be overly concerned with the issue government regulation of corporations. Whittington is an occasional guest writer at the libertarian legal blog, Volokh Conspiracy.

It appears the only ‘conservative legal tradition’ the new group founded by Conway, Comstock, and Luttig aims to reclaim is the tradition establishment Republicans passing off pro-corporate policies as foundational to conservative ideology.

Israeli Govt Says Resettling 2 Million Gazans Overseas is ‘Win-Win Solution’.

The Israeli government is ramping up its public pressure campaign to resettle Gaza’ population overseas, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Minister of Intelligence, Gila Gamliel, arguing the conflict with Hamas presents “an opportunity for Israel in the midst of crisis.”

“One of the issues on which my office has been working diligently is how to proceed the day after Hamas has been defeated and annihilated,” Gamliel wrote in the Jerusalem Post.

“We will still have around two million people in Gaza, many of whom voted for Hamas and celebrated the massacre of innocent men, women, and children,” she continued, describing Gaza as “a place devoid of hope, stolen by the genocidal terrorists of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and other terrorist groups” – and arguing it would be better for everybody if the Gazans were resettled elsewhere.

“It could be a win-win solution: a win for those civilians of Gaza who seek a better life and a win for Israel after this devastating tragedy,” she said, insisting restoring Palestinian Authority rule once Hamas is deposed is not an option.

Gamiliel did not specify where Gazans should be resettled, but other Israeli politicians have been clear they see the West as their final destination, with two Knesset members arguing in The New York Times that America and Europe have “a long history of assisting refugees fleeing conflicts.”

The Palestinians’ Arab Muslim neighbors have been equally clear they will refuse to take the Gazans in, with the King of Jordan calling this a “red line” for his country and Egyptian officials warning they will send “one million” Gazans to Europe if they are displaced to Egyptian territory.

Buttigieg’s Friend & Biden WH Regular Patrick Wojahn Sentenced To 30 Years for Child Porn.

Patrick Wojahn, a former Democrat mayor of College Park, Maryland has been sentenced to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty to dozens of charges relating to the possession of child pornography. The 30-year sentence (150 in total with 120 years suspended) comes after Wojahn reached an agreement with prosecutors, pleading guilty in August to 140 counts related to the possession and distribution of materials depicting child sexual abuse.

A mover and shaker in Democrat political circles, Wojahn described U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg as a ‘friend’ and mentor. In an interview with the Washington Blade, a gay news site, Wojahn said: “I actually met Mayor Pete Buttigieg shortly after I was elected mayor in 2015. I went to the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ Winter Meeting in D.C. in January, and he was assigned to be my buddy.”

According to Wojahn, he and Buttigieg chatted regularly on the phone with the Transportation Secretary advising him on issues he may face as mayor of College Park.

Between 2021 and his arrest in March of 2023, Wojahn visited the White House on at least six occasions according to visitor logs. The former Democrat mayor and child predator posted numerous photos of his visits on his social media. At least one of Wojahn’s White House visits was to attend a Gay Pride Month event where both President Joe Biden and Secretary Buttigieg spoke. Wojahn posted a photo from the event featuring himself with Secretary Buttiegieg and the Secretary’s husband Chasten, the caption reading: “Always great to see these guys at the White House!!”

As mayor, Wojahn outlined a plan to use taxpayer dollars to underwrite transgender surgeries for city residents seeking gender reassignment. The Democrat mayor resigned from office on March 1st, 2023 ahead of his arrest byPrince George’s County police the next day.

WILD: MSNBC’s Morning Joe Says Trump Will EXECUTE His Enemies in 2nd Term.

MSNBC host Joe Scarborough told his audience on Tuesday that Donald J. Trump will “execute” and “imprison” and “drive from the country” those he deems as his enemies during a second presidential term.

Ranting alongside co-host Mika Brzezinski on his Morning Joe program, Scarborough said: “He’s not a normal candidate, he is running to end American democracy as we know it… If you want to be fair, then you will frame this as Joe Biden being the candidate that supports American democracy, and Donald Trump, a candidate who supports a new form of government here, this authoritarian here.”

While inviting anti-white, anti-Semitic racist Al Sharpton to comment, the MSNBC host went on to complain about people saying you “can’t compare” the 45th President to a “past Nazi leader”, insisting only “the American judicial system” stopped Trump from going as far as the 20th-century dictators.

“Just because he hasn’t done it yet doesn’t mean he won’t do it when he gets a chance to do it, and if he is voted into office… he will imprison, he will execute, whoever he’s allowed to imprison, execute, uh, uh, uh, uh, drive from the country,” Scarborough rambled.” Just look at his past. It’s not really hard to read!”

Scarborough and Brzezinski were once great friends of Trump, and even called him on the day of the 2016 election – anticipating he would lose – and told him they “hope[d] we’ll be friends after this.”

Trump himself said they were still trying to ingratiate themselves shortly after his victory, describing how “low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came… to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year’s Eve, and insisted on joining me.”

“She was bleeding badly from a face-lift,” Trump recalled. “I said no!”

AUDIO: DeSantis Influencer Says J6 Prisoners ‘Will Do Time’ Under Ron… ‘It Will Be Fun to Watch’.

A leading online booster for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has said that January 6 protestors will go to prison if DeSantis manages to make it to the White House, wildly concluding: “It will be fun to watch.”

Chris Nelson, a blogger, DJ, and avid fan of the Florida Governor spouted his fantasies in an X (formerly Twitter) Spaces meeting with other DeSantis loyalists, entitled: “Never (Again) Trump. Change…”

Nelson explained: “To everybody that wants the January 6 stuff worked out, you can have these idiots in Congress release every single footage, from every single room, and what happened… and they’re trying to say ‘oh! look at that I saw a little flash, it’s an FBI badge there,’ ok please: alright, when DeSantis gets in, that’s gonna be something that gets resolved.”

“When DeSantis gets in, that’s going to be something that gets resolved,” Nelson continues, claiming the Florida Governor will “look through all the cases, issue pardons, commutations where necessary. People will do time for what they did – [if] they broke a window, it’ll probably be time served,” Nelson continued.

He goes on to discuss firing the FBI director and hiring “good personnel” before concluding with “It’s just going to be exciting… it’s going to be fun to watch.”

Nelson’s wishes are, however, unlikely to be realized as DeSantis’ 2024 presidential campaign continues its downfall. Only last week, the Florida Governor polled in fifth place behind former President Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy, and even Chris Christie in New Hampshire.

Notably, Nelson’s ex-wife filed a restraining order against him in 2017, accusing him of domestic battery. Nelson has previously accosted Trump supporters such as Steve Bannon and Kari Lake in person, and celebrated the indictments of Donald Trump. In exchange, he has been granted privileged access to DeSantis events, and is regularly boosted online by officials from Team DeSantis and his PAC.

NOTE: An original tweet embedded on this story truncated Nelson’s audio from the X Space. We have included a fuller version below.

DATA: 85% Of Palestinians ‘Support’ Hamas’ October 7 Terror Attack.

The vast majority of Palestinians living in either the Gaza Strip or the West Bank – 85 percent – admitted to either strongly or somewhat supporting Hamas‘ violent attack on Israel, which saw hundreds of Israeli civilians murdered, kidnapped, and raped, on October 7, according to a recent poll from Arab World for Research and Development (AWRAD).

The poll, which surveyed 668 Palestinians in table-assisted face-to-face interviews, found that 68 percent of those in the West Bank “strongly supported” the attacks, compared to 47 percent in Gaza. It is suggested the difference is due to the personal impact of Israel’s response to the attacks.

The data also reveal that almost all Palestinians – 98 percent – warned they will never forgive or forget Israel for its retaliation to the attacks. Another 73 percent remain convinced that “Palestine will win” the war and repel the Israeli ground invasion.

Despite the vast majority supporting Hamas’ violent attack, western nations like Germany have begun allowing Palestinians to enter the country, with multiple others facing ground international pressure to follow suit.

Dutch Populist Leader Hospitalized After Violent Attack Days Before Election.

Thierry Baudet, leader of the Dutch right-wing populist “Forum for Democracy” Party, was rushed to hospital on Monday after being attacked with a glass bottle in the city of Zwolle two days before the Dutch general elections.

Baudet, 40, was treated by a trauma surgeon following the attack, which saw someone hit him on the back of the head and next to the eye with a beer bottle. His security guard also sustained facial injuries in the incident.

A spokesman for the Dutch police, Thijs de Jong, told the press authorities had apprehended someone on suspicion of involvement in the attack on Monday evening. “What we can say at the moment is that Mr. Baudet was hit on the head, possibly with an object,” he explained, though refusing to provide any further information as to the potential motive of the attacker.

“It looks like everything will all be alright,” Forum for Democracy announced after the event.

Baudet’s party claims to be anti-mass immigration, proudly nationalist, as well as skeptical of the European Union. Forum for Democracy is projected to receive between four of five seats in the Dutch parliament in the election.

The attack follows a number of other violent assaults on populist politicians in Europe, including Alternative for Germany’s deputy leader being smeared with dog excrement and the party’s Augsburg chairman being hospitalized with two black eyes and a leg brace earlier this year.

Here Are The Dates and Locations for the 2024 Presidential Debates.

The initial 2024 Presidential debate is set for September 16, the earliest in history, the Commission on Presidential Debates confirmed Monday. Sponsored by the so-called “bipartisan” Commission, which has been responsible for every general election presidential debate since 1987, Texas State University will host the kickoff event.

Three debates are slated for next year, along with one vice-presidential debate scheduled for September 25 at Lafayette College in Pennsylvania. After the first event in Texas, debates will take place at Virginia State University on October 1, and at the University of Utah on October 9. The accelerated schedule results in a 27-day gap between the last debate and Election day, a stark contrast to the 12- and 20-day gaps of 2020 and 2016, respectively.

Despite these scheduling announcements, uncertainty surrounds the actual occurrence of the debates. In a notable move last year, the Republican National Committee withdrew its participation from the commission. With the debates scheduled to begin before voting commences, it is anticipated that the adjusted timeline may encourage the Republican nominee’s participation.

The Presidential Debate Commission is scarcely unbiased, with major controversy surrounding its connections to the D.C. establishment including Joe Biden. Last time around, Steve Scully was chosen to host one of the events. It soon transpired he had sent a number of anti-Trump tweets and even interned for Joe Biden.

Ousted CNN Boss Jeff Zucker May Take Over UK ‘Telegraph’ Paper, ‘Spectator’ Magazine.

The Telegraph and The Spectator, Britain’s most prominent center-right broadsheet and news magazine, are set to be bought out by U.S. firm RedBird Capital and an Abu Dhabi fund, who will pay off its bank debts and reportedly place disgraced ex-CNN president Jeff Zucker in charge. Zucker would almost certainly drag both publications to the left.

At CNN, he oversaw the celebration of the Chinese Communist Party’s founding, pushed staff to divide America and overhype supposed scandals surrounding the Trump administration, and presided over multiple, internal sex scandals.

The Telegraph has increasingly adopted left-wing issues on social and cultural issues, promoting adultery, defending Cuties, and suggesting the “theory that history is defined by alpha males feels unfashionable and offensive.” Broadly, however, the brand has retained center-right dispositions, endorsing Brexit in 2016, as well platforming the likes of Nigel Farage, and publishing anti-woke exposés.

The Spectator has drifted leftward for some time, chaired by globalist Andrew Neil, who is pro-immigration and pro-amnesty. The magazine supported Brexit in 2016, but from a neoliberal “global Britain” perspective.

If taken over by Zucker, the newspaper and magazine will be the latest (and last) right-leaning publications in Britain to be taken over by the left. The Daily Mail was taken over by an anti-Brexit editor in 2018, while the Daily Express, once a strong supporter of Nigel Farage, Brexit, and border controls, was taken over by a far-left conglomerate which immediately banned negative stories on immigration the same year.
