I don't know if this is true but it's been mentioned that congress can't investigate now that a special council's been convened? Another cover his ass by a weaponized IC.

Another Bob

"Trump's level of cooperation"? You imply Trump was in any way uncooperative? Links please?

Trump stored docs in a safe when he was asked to. Mar-a-Lago itself was under some level of Secret Service security due to its status as a POTUS/ex-POTUS residence. There was nothing indicating third parties had access to the docs.

Biden stored docs in a China-funded office, his personal office and his garage. Multiple third parties would have had access. No agency has claimed that they were in any way secured.

Another Bob

And odd, isn't it, that FBI conducts a large, forced-entry raid to Mar-a-Lago.

But we're relying on Biden's lawyers to tell is about these batches of documents. They pinky swear that these are all of them and they're not "forgetting" to tell us about any others.

clarice

As President Trump could and says he did declassify these documents. As VP Biden could not. But why bother with facts?

Dave (in MA)

Here's your Friday Afternoon Bad News Dump for Friday the 13th.

Dave (in MA)

Trump's "level of cooperation" is that Orange Man Bad was fully cooperative with the government and dealt with the National Archives multiple times, even upgrading the lock on the room where the docs were being stored--only to have the junta invade his property 2 months later, but don't let facts get in the way of your obsession.

clarice

Here's something else to remember--Obama also took classified documents and stored them insecurely and--whoa! Hillary had classified documents on an unsecured server and the FBI allowed her to simply destroy the evidence. "Dubious", ™? Ridiculously partisan and something that will never wash. The good thing though is is puts that snake Garland in an impossible spot.

Narciso

it must be wonderful to have the protection of the intelligence community like the old praetorian guard until you become a liability, the Russians call it krisha or roof,

they will look the other way, and they nudge the tech companies to do the same, see taibbis' latest release, about the Nunes memo, and how they put a tail on it, we seem to be importing a whole lot of practices from modern Russia, from Communist Cuba, of course the chinese practice lesuo on those like swalwell, maybe feinstein in her long tenure, she's found out how dispensable she has been to the apparat,

Narciso

now of course, the intelligence community is rarely effective at their stated job, like preventing 9/11
they are good at suppressing any contrary evidence like the 28 pages, that included the prestancia fingerprints, that was left out of the 9/11 commission reports,

Narciso

this was a trail the one that bob graham followed re awlaki, with also led to the west coast of florida, I thought it was quixotic it turns out I was wrong

so robert bauer, senior partner of perkins and coie, husband of mao fan girl anita dunn one time counsel to alaskan governor who preceded palin was biden's lawyer,

Narciso

circling back since obama, podesta gates et al were using private servers to communicate, of course it made no sense to single out hillary, no matter how many assets she compromised with her unsecure server,

how insecure, that romanian hacker guccifer found a back door, and so was the treasure trove of evidence including colin powell's dirty laundry, it took a year before anyone made the connection including to those mutineers drumheller and murray who set up a private intel
back channel to sid vicious,

Narciso

they parcelled out their tidbits to the likes of drogin and blumenthal, mostly backtalk from european operatives, like the ones that enabled the yellow cake rigamarole, who was an earlier opera buffe

It's really pathetic,narciso

Narciso

much more than pathetic, years ago when I wrote a paper about the intelligence committee from the post world war one origins, I was more trustworthy

now the times downplayed the holocaust, denied the holomodor (you would think in this day and age, they would try to make amends) I have already referenced matthews and halberstam's criminal mischief, we could add tom friedman's remarkable ability to miss the point, billions of dollars tens of thousands of lives, spent
due to their misreadings,

on the domestic front the myriad of systemic failures from the recent airport fiasco, to the train hangups, to the supply chain messes, not to mention the crumbling cities should suggest something about the nature of power today,

Narciso

and this august body, just manages to descend to new depth with the golem, who beeps his way to a response, who know who they will pick to replace casey, who I think was such a dissapointment to his father, who was a courageous pro life democrat

I looked up the credentials and the hearing of trumka fils, he was a committee staffer with no real technical knowledge, so of course he decides that the gas stove must go, of course he had nothing but a perfunctory hearing along with the other pantomine horses, they had picked,

Narciso

I know that many in the conservative community have proper objections to nixon, I think his china opening in the fullness of time was over blown in effectiveness, some of his domestic iitiatives were worse, wage and price control and the epa for example,

however his cardenal sin, was not only uncovering hiss, but how the entire establishment from the dulles to the stevensons, had enabled him, and had even granted a sinecure, until his next post, at the Carnegie foundation, interestingly that was where the real 'whistleblower' ciamarella ended up,

likewise nunes was a more amiable version of nixon, someone who didn't abide by the notions of beltway conventional wisdom which was just dangerous dross, so he had to go, libeled and eventually forced from Congress for the crime of telling the truth,

Narciso

one of the encouraging signs is the prospect the whole sordid spectacle of turning a roudy animal house romp into an insurrection, that will be revealed when all the j6 tapes are released,

Narciso

it really is disturbing how a foreign power, which is responsible for millions of dead abroad, who has a hold on not on the highest posts in the land, but similar commanding heights in academia, in corporate america, they even let their secret police run outposts almost without challenge,

Narciso

the signs of a real kakistocracy, the rule by the very worst, nasty brutish and short, which was the opposite resort of what government was constituted for,

Narciso

fifty years, they went after itt because they wanted to help encourage the republican national convention in san diego, (you recall the details about that) now they let facebook run elections including the pay and management of staff, they had twitter run interference, and likewise across all the platform, now the bill comes due,

Narciso

now apelbaum seems to have gone around in the wilderness of mirrors and lost the plot, thinking general flynn and sidney powell, are part of the swamp or something, it's a sad thing,

Narciso

oops

https://donsurber.blogspot.com/2023/01/oh-look-ukraine-is-hurting-us-defenses.html#more

now the fact that the biden center was run by the current secretary of state, whose bff was robert malley, the venomous islamist is something we should wonder about in this context,

German media report defense minister soon to resign

German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht may leave her post as soon as next week, according to German news outlets. Lambrecht was recently criticized for a New Year's Eve message posted on social media.

The timing is convenient with a decision about the re-export of the German Leopard II tanks to Ukraine looming.

so gerasimov (who would be played by sam neil or jeremy irons) has replaced surovikin, who would be a liam neeson type, they do switch out commanders
it took us three years to move iraq theatre chiefs,

Narciso

in the 80s, I was rather naive about the landscape of intelligence, pre church committee till I read james hougans spooks, he was a lefty but he diagrammed players like intellifacts, which are used for gigs as low profile as library clerk positions, but they handled the big fish like the nfl this was the kennedy clan's bailiwick, at least one note in moldea's expose of mob connections in the sport,

Narciso

paul sperry notes robert hur's deputy in jonathan lenzner, son of igi founder terry, husband of matea gold from the dog trainer, much like he diagrammed the take trump out team, so he does for the biden cleanup brigade,

very noirish clarice, perhaps a tip to the rockford files, although more in the steve martin genre,
gentleman wear plaid,

the rosetta here was not miss remus who 'found' the first set of documents, but who she is married to
brett holmgren, of inr, the quite little unit that the plame case was about, he is deep swamp, all the way

Narciso

meanwhile


https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/01/many_dead_in_mexico.html

Narciso

he would likely have a high enough clearance to know the importance of these, now dana rejoined covington from the whitehouse in july right before the maralago raid,

Narciso

one wonders did holmgren work for or with any of the suspect 50 signers,

Narciso

i'm cynical enough to think they found these documents before, like right after covington hired her, do they even need to update their business cards, like jamie gorelick she went from doj to
9/11 commission, to wilmer pickering defending a subject of same,

Rocco

But why is it Biden's aides are throwing him under the bus? Could it be to set a precedent to keep Trump from running?

Narciso

because they don't work for him rocco, they are the zysgy, mr holmgren's last day job was capitol one,

Narciso

they hired him, not the other way around,
