Notes from the Resistance
A man from Japan wrongly accused of drunken driving can sue a Michigan police officer who grossly misread a breath test and conceded during the stop that she had “no idea” what she was doing, a federal appeals court said Thursday. [More]
Then why did she do it, prepared to use a full continuum of force up to lethal to ensure compliance…?

Hunter Biden legal team may need to overhaul defense strategy in gun case [More]
That drives the timing on resurrecting one FOIA and pressing one complaint:
And point of order on that “second gun”– the (extremely NSFW!) Marco Polo report, at the top of page 282, claims:
“Five days after he illegally obtained a .38 caliber handgun, Hunter solicited a female to the Red Roof Plus+ in Newark. During the tryst, he posed with what he claimed was a black ‘airgun,’” [further identified in a footnote as a] “PT-80 Semi-Auto .177 Cal. CO2 Pellet Pistol 8 shot magazine from GAMO.”
No?
In any case, I’m interested in finding out if any report raised the question of Biden lying on the 4473 before this one.

Grassley Reveals New Details Of FBI Efforts To Tamper With Far-Reaching Biden Family Investigations [More]
If there’s a better explanation than the one Jesse Waters provides, I’m all ears.
I’m wondering if Garland and Wray behind bars would fare any better than Epstein.

ATF Employee Caught Gun Running to Mexico [More]
This is the topic I was thinking of writing up in detail.
I do have a quibble:
The Mexican Government makes the bold claim that 70% of all guns used in crimes were smuggled into Mexico from the United States.
That used to be the claim the antis all made, but they started at “95 to 100 percent.” Now the DSM is more properly qualifying things by saying:
Nearly 70% of TRACED [emphasis added] firearms used to commit crimes and seized in Mexico come from the United States, according to ATF.
So instead of being a flat-out lie, it’s now an insidious lie of omission, because they don’t then inform:
No specific numbers on how many of those guns “recovered in Mexico and traced back to the United States” were, in fact, military purchases, but the State Department cables indicate a portion of the fewer than 12 percent of the traceable weapons actually came from the United States in gun shop/individual type purchases. Remember, that’s not 12 percent of the tens of thousands of weapons recovered – it’s only 12 percent of the weapons recovered that were traceable. It’s nowhere near the 12 percent figure that has been misquoted and used as evidence of the United State’s “horrific” problem of illegal gun sales.
Now, tell us more about the drunks…
An NYPD cop and her boyfriend were arrested Thursday on federal narcotics distribution charges and related conspiracy counts for selling more than a kilo of heroin and nearly a pound of fentanyl to a confidential source working for the FBI. [More]
And up until the time she was arrested, she was legally empowered to arrest you for being armed where the city dictated you could not be.

I only have one question.

A former investigator with the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) is accused of trafficking weapons to Mexico while he was an employee of the bureau in 2017, according to a letter sent to the ATF Director this week by US Senator Charles Grassley. [More]
Jeez, another letter…?
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
I went to Grassley’s “News Releases” page and didn’t see the letter. I asked him for a copy:
Anybody have a link?
I started an AmmoLand article on this but then found another writer was working on it. I’ll wait for that one to see if there’s anything substantive I can add.

“We get everything from an agency saying, ‘Hey, we have one gun that we need to destroy,’ to a client in Michigan—Michigan State Police—which requires thousands of guns to be destroyed a month,” Scott Reed, president of GunBusters, said. [More]
There’s a word for such public/private partnerships, Scott.

The inmate was in handcuffs when he was beaten at the Pinckneyville Illinois Correctional Center in April of last year. [More]
It says something about “Authorized Journalism” when a story of compelling public interest is given literally 1/6 the words of the link that appears in the middle of it:

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of Florida announced Thursday that it charged 17 employees of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office with wire fraud after they allegedly tried to defraud the government in pandemic relief loans. [More]
Hey, they gotta do something when they’re not holding back letting schoolchildren be slaughtered…
