The 700 Club

A key prosecutor overseeing the investigation of first son Hunter Biden ignored requests for a briefing on vital evidence — including bribery allegations involving President Biden and his offspring, according to new IRS whistleblower documents released Wednesday by the House Ways and Means Committee. Chairman Jason Smith (R-Mo.) told reporters Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler had furnished the panel with more than 700 pages of additional messages, emails and documents about their five-year-long investigation… [More]

So when are we going to see some “asset forfeiture“?

Private Parts

Hunter Biden sues Rudy Giuliani in latest ‘laptop’ salvo –
The suit accuses Giuliani of contributing to the “annihilation” of his privacy. [More]

Where have we heard that before?

You wanna see “annihilation”…?

From some earlier research I’d done based on the Marco Polo report:

“The text at the bottom of Hunter’s signed invoice clearly stipulated the consequences if he did not return to the repair shop to pick up the laptop: ‘Equipment left with the Mac Shop after 90 days of notification of completed service will be treated as abandoned and you agree to hold the Mac Shop harmless for any damage or loss of property. In the event of nonpayment, The Mac Shop reserves the right to remove any equipment or parts installed.’”

Per an FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin article citing the Supreme Court on “Abandonment of Items Associated with the Person,” and noting that both Biden’s gun and laptop were abandoned, the former being discarded in a supermarket trash bin and the latter through contractually-stipulated abandonment :

“A person has no private or possessory interest in property that was abandoned.”

Hunter Biden’s Lawyers Open Door to New Questions

The questions raised here are bigger than that. They go to the heart of how agencies are empowered to prosecute citizens operate, and what oversight and restraints are in place to keep abuses in check. [More]

What does it say about the administration that it uses all of its legal might to keep from answering 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.

We’re the Only Ones Wasted Enough

Internal Revenue Service Employee Brandished Toy Gun at Service Center in Utah… Bryner also indicated he had a medical marijuana card and uses marijuana … Bryner made two attempts to purchase rifles from a federally licensed firearms dealer in Ogden, Utah. On both purchase forms, Bryner certified he is neither an unlawful user of nor addicted to marijuana. [More]

This was in March– I haven’t been able to determine what happened to the case, if anything yet.

I’m curious to see if he’s been offered the same “consent to permanent entry” deal as Hunter Biden.

Complaint Against DOJ Seeks Documents on NICS Permanent Entry Consent

The complaint was filed by attorney Stephen D. Stamboulieh on behalf of this correspondent to compel the Department to produce information regarding “consent to a permanent entry in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).” [More]

Expanding the rules without lawfully delegated authority and based just on their own say-so seems to be the way with these autocratic functionaries.

It’s a Big Club and Said Ain’t In It

U.S. District Judge John M. Gerrard ordered Said Muhammad Almustaquiim, 20, to spend 2½ years in federal prison. Almustaquiim had pleaded guilty in November to being an unlawful user of a controlled substance in possession of a firearm. [More]

Too bad his last name isn’t “Biden.”

So if the Question’s Unlawful We Can Lie?

Federal gun law used in Hunter Biden case voided by appeals court [More]

The sooner this gets resolved, the sooner I can resume finding out what I’m looking for — or at least go through another round of stonewalling.

Hey, if they have to change the 4473, will they declare the old one invalid and take their time issuing a new one?

FOIA Request Seeks Information on ‘Consent to Permanent Entry’ into Gun Background Check System

Addressed to the Office of the Attorney General, the request notes a commitment by Biden to “consent to a permanent entry in the National Instant Criminal Background Check System such that he will be denied via NICS if he attempts to legally purchase another firearm.” [More]

Separation of powers? We ain’t got no separation of powers. We don’t need no separation of powers. I don’t have to show you any stinking separation of powers.

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.

Hunter Punter

Hunter Biden’s plea deal fell apart during his first court appearance Wednesday morning as he pleaded “not guilty” and federal prosecutors confirmed the president’s son is still under federal investigation. [More]

ATF just denied my latest FOIA request on the grounds that there’s an ongoing investigation. I’m looking into options, but this will no doubt delay things further, perhaps indefinitley, and part of me wonders if that’s the plan.

Even this guy’s lawyers are crooked.

‘Top Men’

Federal Top Men Say Finding Source of West Wing Cocaine Will Be Too Difficult [More]

Of COURSE it will be.

What happened to “the library”?

I don’t suppose Hunter would be willing to take a public polygraph test by an impartial administrator as his way of paying “the Big Guy” back for standing by him all these years…?

New FOIA Request Filed on Hunter Biden Gun Investigation Now That Privacy Excuse is Gone

Because the DOJ has now made charges public, and because Biden’s attorney has acknowledged those charges, attorney Stephen Stamboulieh filed a new FOIA request Tuesday afternoon. [More]

The Biden administration’s enforcers want to gloss this over and are counting on the “real reporters” to let them. My sense is there’s more here to uncover and I want to keep digging and find out what they don’t want us to know.

DOJ Prosecutes Black Mother On 4473 Drug Denial While Giving Passes to Democrats

That said, it’s also entirely appropriate to show how the so-called “justice system” treats the president’s son and a highly connected Democrat apparatchik differently than it does people of modest means and people of color FOR THE SAME CHARGE. [More]

It’s a big club Hunter Biden and Nikki Fried belong to, and unconnected black people ain’t in it.

There’s Us and There’s You

According to court documents filed Monday, Taylor made a false claim on the firearms transaction form she filled out when she bought a 9mm handgun in 2022. Section G of that form asks, “Are you an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?” Prosecutors said Taylor lied when she answered no, and that she was actually a marijuana user. [More]

Just to be clear: Joe Biden’s Justice Department will give his son Hunter and connected Democrat Nikki Fried a pass, but put the screws to a black mother struggling to get by.

Where the hell are the so-called “black leaders”?

Up in Smoke

Regardless of the recent changes in Minnesota law related to marijuana, an individual who is a current user of marijuana is prohibited from shipping, transporting, receiving, or possessing firearms or ammunition. [More]

It’s not like the prohibition affects anyone important.

Besides, Fudd Sense Candidate Tim Walz is fine with that.

Life Imitates Art

The IRS on Monday removed the “entire investigative team” from its long-running tax fraud probe of first son Hunter Biden in alleged retaliation against the whistleblower who recently contacted Congress to allege a cover-up in the case, The Post has learned. [More]

I remember that scene…

“Where’s the media outrage,” you ask…?

Tangentially-Related UPDATE

Despite showing nine Biden family members allegedly receiving funds from corrupt figures in Romania, China and other countries, The New Republic quickly ran a story headlined “Republicans Finally Admit They Have No Incriminating Evidence on Joe Biden.” [More]

And that’s why I call ’em the DSM.
