Just a Little Something to Take Our Minds Off Hunter Biden

Former Governor of Puerto Rico Arrested in Bribery Scheme [More]

And here’s the comedy gold:

“The Department of Justice is committed to holding accountable those who wrongly believe there is one rule of law for the powerful and another for the powerless. No one is above the rule of law.”

Is it really so wrong to wonder if she made the administration’s enemies list?

We’re the Only Ones Incentivized Enough

House Judiciary Committee: Whistleblowers Say FBI ‘Pressuring Agents’ to Reclassify Cases as Domestic Terrorism – “For example, one whistleblower explained that because agents are not finding enough DVE [domestic violent extremist] cases, they are encouraged and incentivized to reclassify cases as DVE cases even though there is minimal, circumstantial evidence to support the reclassification.” [More]

In other words, not meeting the quota is career-limiting? And do top guys get “Always Think Terrorist” Leathermans?

All on Christipher Wray’s watch. Seems some of us were just telling Don Jr. to say “Thanks!” to his Dad for that.

And some of us were sounding alarms before that.

Nothing to See Here

Agents investigating President Joe Biden’s son “opened an assessment which was used by an FBI headquarters team to improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation and caused investigative activity to cease”… [More]

So basically, “gun control” is about surrendering ours to people who systemically misdirect and lie to us in order to maintain and grow their political power, and it has nothing to do with safety or “common sense,” and anyone who is willfully deluded and believes otherwise is exactly the type of useful idiot they’re counting on?

We’re the Only Ones Uninformative Enough

Missouri sheriff says even under ‘threat of arrest’ he will not release gun owners’ info to FBI – ‘I will go down with the ship if need be,’ the sheriff says [More]

I’m sorry, but while everybody’s waving flags, my first thought is “What’s he doing with that information in the first place?”

And This Surprises Who?

Today, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray demanding that they cease their attempts to illegally obtain information from local sheriffs on Missourians who have concealed carry permits. Missouri law specifically prohibits the sharing of information on concealed carry permit holders to any entity – local, state, federal, or otherwise. [More]

What, the Trump pick who agreed with Richard Blumenthal on guns?

We’re the Only Ones Convenient Enough

The #FBI Child ID app—the first mobile application created by the Bureau—provides a convenient place to electronically store photos and other vital information about your children so that it’s literally right at hand if you need it. [More]

It’s convenient and right at hand for them if they “need it,” too.

A warning about vampires and invitations comes to mind.

Tangentially related: My Android has recently started displaying a “suggestion” in settings for “On-body detection: Keep your device unlocked while it’s on you.”

They can detect where my body is! How convenient!

Ask the Expert

“… 21 of these 160 incidents just like this were disrupted and successfully stopped by unarmed individuals…” [Watch]

I got your “run, hide, fight” right here… Funny, how you have to watch to the very end to get this calculated little factoid.

By “just like this” she means the police were unable/unwilling to get to them in time and they were forbidden by law from having the means of effective defense, making it fair to wonder what the outcome might have been and how many lives might have been saved in the other 139 incidents had that not been the case…

The Federal Bureau of Apparatchiks

I have never heard of the FBI maintaining a “secure work environment” inside a private law firm, let alone a private law firm that is best known for representing the Democratic Party. [More]

Who thinks a full investigation to determine and report the truth is in the cards? Even if the Republicans “win” in November?
