Notes from the Resistance
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?

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.
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 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.
“What a joke… if it wasn’t their dog he would already have been put down…” [More]
There’s a metaphor in there somewhere…
Maybe it’ll maul one of the grandchildren The Big Guy admits to having.
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…?

And why wouldn’t they? Especially now that he’s a regular.
Who else would automatically assume that he could get away with it?

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.
7th Circuit reverses Northern District judgment, reinstates indictment for man for answering falsely on firearm application [More]
Fortunately, we now know that all he’ll get is a slap on the wrist, right?

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.

Still no word from Black Lives Matter…

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”?

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.

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.

I notice they’re still beating the Secret Service cover-up drum.
I sure wish House Oversight would compel some testimony to find out if the affidavit denying their involvement that the Secret Service sent me to get my complaint dropped is a smoking gun that can bring administration people down, or if saying they were is just an allegation Republicans can still wring some political mileage out of.
Because there’s no third choice.
There’s a way to the truth if anyone’s interested.

Woman Who Lied About Drugs During Gun Purchase Sent To Prison: What about Hunter? [More]
The way comments are dominated by redirection to take the focus off the article followed by interminable petty squabbles and name-calling sure works in ATF’s favor here.
See my sidebar “Comment House Rules.” I won’t allow that here.
Anybody doesn’t like it can have all their money back.
Biden claimed in a presidential debate that the laptop story was “garbage” and part of a “Russian plan.” Biden used the letter to say “nobody believes” that the laptop is real. [More]
Biden and his backer lied to illegitimately “win” the election. Opposing that is not insurrection. Supporting it is.
The thing is, even knowing that Democrats will excuse it and vote for him again if he’s the choice.

In the case of Hanson v. District of Columbia, in the District Court of the District of Columbia, on April 20, 2023, federal Judge Rudolf Contreras issued an opinion holding standard capacity magazines which hold more than ten rounds of ammunition are not protected under the rights which the Second Amendment was written to protect. [More]
This is the same robed Obama apparatchik who ruled against me and for Hunter Biden, so I guess I’m the one who’s “biased.”
“Confirmed by voice vote,” so all we really know is those “A”-rated Senate Republicans didn’t much care how their supporters would be treated…
Federal prosecutors have considered four possible charges against Hunter Biden – Possible charges are two misdemeanor counts for failure to file taxes, a single felony count of tax evasion and a felony count related to a gun purchase. [More]
If they do choose the latter — and I doubt they will — find one report that specifically called out lying on a 4473 that came out before this one. Being “just a blogger” and not a #realreporter, I don’t want to claim anything that turns out not to be true.
Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said then-candidate Joe Biden wrongly made the letter from 51 intelligence officials claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation “seem organic” despite allegedly knowing his soon-to-be State Department chief helped “strategize” it… that letter that became the basis for suppressing the story and keeping it from the American people just days before the most important election we have”… [More]
So Democrats did steal the election…?
