Commentary
Before television, they use to say “Read All About It,” and now it’s “Breaking News!”
I originally sat down to comment on the failure, or lack of the willingness, on the part of the Secret Service to tell us what it learned from the cocaine find in the White House, with this opening quote:
“At this time, the Secret Service’s investigation is closed due to a lack of physical evidence.”
That’s old news. Breaking news is breaking news.
Iowa’s Republican Sen. Charles Grassley, who has doggedly pursued information connecting President Biden to foreign bribery, despite road blocks by FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland, was able to secure the record from DOJ whistleblowers.
The payment of $5 million from Mykola Zlochevsky, founder of Burisma Holdings, to President Biden and his son Hunter is alleged in the document – an FD-1023 form – commonly used in FBI investigations.
Because the document is dated June 30, 2020, just four months prior to the presidential election, one can again assume that the Justice Department and FBI were “protecting” Joe Biden, like the letter signed by former intelligence officers the month before the election.
Within the document, Zlochevsky stated that he was forced to make the payments and reportedly has 17 audio recordings of his conversations with Hunter and Joe Biden as an “insurance policy.” Where have we heard that before?
We’ll have to wait and see if this “Breaking News” gets the coverage missing in previous Hunter and Joe Biden stories on CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS and ABC.
Now What? Republicans are asking that a special counsel be named to investigate President Biden’s involvement in his son’s bribery scandal, but how can we trust AG Garland to name someone truly independent?
Meanwhile, back to the Secret Service
With that official statement issued July 13, 2023 by the United States Secret Service regarding the cocaine found in the West Wing of the White House, they expect us to believe that the Service, aided by the FBI’s crime laboratory, could not identify the individual responsible for bringing the drug into the people’s house.
No cameras caught it and no fingerprints or DNA was found on the packet. Commentator Dan Bongino, once a Secret Service agent, says former colleagues are furious, and they know exactly who brought the cocaine into the White House.
With the attacks on credible FBI and IRS whistleblowers, who testified on the coverup of the Hunter Biden laptop investigation, Bongino wonders if anyone will have the courage to spill the beans on this coverup.
It was within the Department of Justice and the FBI that the corruption involving Russian collusion and the Hunter Biden laptop had taken place. Now the sad state of affairs extends to the Department of Homeland Security, where the Secret Service now reports.
Homeland Security’s secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, who is already up to here in controversy, while threats of impeachment for lying about the southern border being open and everything being under control, isn’t expected to comment on the Secret Service investigation.
There’s More
On Sunday evening, Special Counsel Jack Smith cited former President Trump as a target in his investigation of the Jan. 6 breach of the Capitol. That normally means that an arrest and an indictment will follow.
This is an obvious attempt to further sour Trump as a 2024 presidential nominee among voters.
Stay Tuned.
May God continue to bless the United States of America and grant us the patience to stay politically engaged in the facts.
