Back to Square One?

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.

Justice Delayed

When it comes to the federal government and responding to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, it is so commonplace for federal agencies to drag their feet and not provide fully responsive documentation that it is not even newsworthy when those agencies do not comply with the law. Instead, they miss deadlines and redact perfectly responsive and unprivileged information. This runs contrary to the purpose of FOIA, which is to allow citizens access to the activities of their government. [More]

Tell me about it.

Meanwhile, Over at the Department of Armed Gaslighting…

The request for a roundup of Hunter Biden-related cases alarmed agents because some attendees from DOJ — including Biden political appointees — had no authority in the case. That puts Merrick Garland’s insistence of “no DOJ interference” into serious doubt. [More]

“No authority”…? But what about Hunter’s “privacy”?

This is why I do FOIAs.

And why they resist them.

Delaware Judge Orders DOJ & Hunters Lawyers to Hand Over Gun Indictment

Unlawfully usurping authority isn’t the only thing the government is trying to hide in this case, and by that, I mean in relation to guns. [More]

Two big questions concerning unlawful government practices allegations will remain unanswered if a stonewalling DOJ has it’s way and Republicans continue their deliberate indifference.

Hunter Biden Plea Deal Implosion Puts New FOIA on Indefinite Hold

After all, the first FOIA request was initially balked at by questioning my qualifications as a journalist, then claiming no records could be found, then saying they withdrew that, and finally declaring they shouldn’t have responded at all because Biden’s privacy interests made the requested documents none of the public’s business. Now they’re saying they can’t answer the second FOIA request because of “ongoing litigation.” [More]

ATF has more excuses than Joliet Jake.

There Goes the Narrative

ATF had installed undercover agents in a house across the street from the Davidians, to observe them. This is the agents’ report for Feb. 19, nine days before the ATF raid and initial gunfight, describing what they did that day. They went shooting. With David Koresh. [More]

David Hardy’s FOIA has uncovered a bit of inconvenient history the DSM will be sure to ignore.

Calling All Fellow ‘Seditious Conspirators’!

Multiple federal LE sources are telling me that a message was blasted to all federal LE agencies to start cataloging social media posts of known conservative influencers so they can be threat assessed. [More]

We need a bit more than that. If you know any sources who would be willing to talk to House Oversight and Senate Judiciary Republicans, lemme know and I’ll see what I can help set up.

Maybe it’s time for a FOIA request or two from some of the prominent ones? It would be revealing to get back a refusal because they don’t talk about ongoing investigations!
