It shouldn’t surprise you that President Biden’s national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, is coming under increased scrutiny in Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Russian collusion tale.
Sullivan is reportedly the “foreign policy director” referred to in the indictment of Michael Sussmann, Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign manager, determined through e-mail distributions.… read more

In my November 6, 2021 blog, I wrote of Fiona Hill’s effort to bring down the Trump presidency with her impeachment testimony against him.
Obviously disgruntled that the Republican-controlled Senate voted to acquit the president, she bitterly stated that the impeachment “came down to political mud wrestling.”
Space didn’t permit me to include her published opinion that the January 6, 2021 breach of the Capitol was a self-coup by Trump.… read more

Does the name Fiona Hill come to memory? It did to me.
I recall her stern appearance, her mannerisms and British accent, and I wondered why she was invited by the Democrats to testify at the hearing covering the Ukraine and the Trump-Zelensky phone call. She left her job in the White House national security office 10 days before the phone call took place.… read more

I know, we’re told never to speak ill of the dead, but rather to show respect for someone who has died by not saying something untoward about the individual. After all he or she is no longer in a position to oppose us, and most of all, the dead cannot defend themselves.… read more

In my last blog post I cautioned you not to get excited over John Durham’s indictment of Michael Sussman, the lawyer who fed anti-Trump dirt to the FBI while hiding his connection to Hillary Clinton’s 2020 campaign.
From the slimy Washington swamp of political incest comes this slime from Just the News.… read more

I plead guilty to building up your expectations for indictments I predicted would result from John Durham’s stealthy investigations into the Deep State.
Now we are finally seeing headlines, “John Durham seeks indictment of Clinton Campaign Lawyer,” in the New York Times, and “Durham Delivers on Russiagate,” over an editorial board column in the Wall Street Journal.… read more

In my September 12, 2021 post, “Why, George, Why,” I wrote about the gratuitous slap George W. Bush took at Trump supporters while speaking at the 9/11 memorial ceremony in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, comparing the 9/11 terrorists with the January 6, 2021 Capitol rioters.
“We have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders but from violence that gathers within.… read more

I recently wrote of my disappointment in the Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton retreads who are advising President Biden, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who you may recall “midwifed” the transfer of pallets of cash to Iran as part of the nuclear deal.
As I watched Binken’s unemotional, teleprompter-aided speech on Monday, I was reminded of Scott Johnson’s PowerLine reporting of Blinken’s August 26, 2021 press briefing, in which he described him as representing the “face of defeat,” while trying to proclaim success with the withdrawal mission.… read more
Commentary
Just before the Pentagon’s first briefing on Saturday, I listened to Richard Grinnell, who has a decade of state department experience and served as acting director of national intelligence under President Trump, speak of the embassy staff warnings that went unheeded by the Biden administration.
I listened to Grinnell talk about the July 13, 2021 cable sent to Secretary of State Blinken, warning of the rapid gains being made by the Taliban in Afghanistan, recommending steps be taken to accelerate evacuation.… read more

“Unlike the policy of the last few years (the Trump era), we will be able to rally the rest of the world behind us on key foreign policy and national security issues.” – Jake Sullivan, November 2020
Along with the criticism of President Biden’s botched withdrawal of Afghanistan, comes questions of the advice provided him by Secretary of State Blinken, National Security advisor Sullivan and Generals Austin and Milley.… read more
