Willis Cancelled by Appeals Court

pgnewser December 19, 2024 0

Fulton County Attorney General Fani Willis and her entire office were disqualified from their cases against President-Elect Donald Trump and his allies. The disqualification came from the Georgia Court of Appeals, who ruled Willis had disqualified herself in how she conducted herself during the trial and even outside the trial, including on the campaign trail leading up to her election as the Fulton County DA in the first place.

The ruling means a board of Georgia Prosecutors will have to select a prosecutor to replace her, but most experts believe her cases are dead in the water as the basis for the cases in the first place was always on “novel” approaches that many would argue are flat-out unconstitutional.

Excerpt:

In a major blow to the prosecution against Donald Trump in Georgia, Fulton County DA Fani Willis has been officially disqualified from the case. An appeals court ruled on Thursday morning that her conflicts of interest were simply too great for her to remain involved.

That comes after a years-long fight involving Willis’ affair with Nathan Wade, a lawyer she had hired to be part of the prosecutorial team. Questions about how much taxpayer money he was paid and the impropriety of their relationship infected the process and led to the Trump team seeking Willis’ disqualification.

Is the FBI Still Spying on Congress?

pgnewser December 19, 2024 0

In 2017, it was revealed that the FBI had been spying on members of congress. After that, the DOJ issued “reforms” intended to prevent such action from happening again. A recent IG report, however, suggests the DOJ has not fully closed the legal loopholes to assure it doesn’t (or isn’t continuing to) spy on members of congress.

IG Report Reveals FBI Could Still Be Spying On Congress– thefederalist.com

Excerpt:

Can you imagine the danger to our republic if the Executive Branch could secretly, for months on end, and without any clear and compelling justification, surveil the very people in Congress conducting oversight of those agencies?

That chilling constitutional nightmare transpired. And we’re only getting the details about the separation-of-powers-eviscerating, civil liberties-undermining, and transparency-imperiling activity seven years after it started.

The revelations come in a recently released Justice Department Inspector General report. Like much of this corrupt activity, the story begins with Russiagate. In the spring and summer of 2017, the first year of the Trump presidency, CNN, The New York Times, and The Washington Post published articles containing classified information concerning Trump and Russia.

… When news reports emerged during the Biden years of what had transpired, DOJ issued a new congressional investigations policy ostensibly requiring greater scrutiny of and higher-level approvals for subpoenas and NDOs, while still not requiring approval from or notification of the attorney general or deputy attorney general — not that any such processes necessarily would have prevented such malfeasance. Only after reviewing the IG report in September of this year did DOJ even create rules mandating that prosecutors disclose to the court when an NDO involves a congressional office or staffer.

Another notable takeaway from the IG report is that the bar to subpoena communications records from members of the media is actually higher than that from members of the legislative branch. Unlike the DOJ’s News Media Policy, the Congressional Investigations Policy contains no “exhaustion requirement.” Prosecutors need not exhaust “all other reasonable means of identifying the sources of the unauthorized disclosures,” prior to seeking a subpoena. Only then, in the case of news media, must the feds request “Attorney General authorization.”

Remarkably, even after modifying its Congressional Investigations Policy, according to the IG, it is not clear that illegal leaks are subject to the policy. The policy is located in a chapter of DOJ’s Justice Manual called “Protection of Government Integrity,” the first provision of which states that the chapter deals with crimes “including bribery of public officials and accepting a gratuity, election crimes, and other related offenses.” Unauthorized disclosures do not make the list.

Chinese National Pleads Guilty to Running CCP Police Station in New York City

pgnewser December 19, 2024 0

Chinese national Chen Jinping, 60, of New York City, pled guilty to running a “clandestine police station” in the city. He was arrested in April of this same year.

DOJ and FBI representatives said of the plea, “The Department of Justice will continue to pursue anyone who attempts to aid the PRC’s efforts to extend their repressive reach into the United States… These blatant violations will not be tolerated on U.S. soil. The FBI remains committed to preserving the rights and freedoms of all people in our country and will defend against transnational repression at every front.”

Excerpt:

The Department of Justice said in a press release that a man pleaded guilty to running a secret police station for communist China above a noodle restaurant in New York City.

The secret police stations have been reported to be hidden across the world in order to further the aims of the communist government of China. Their agents harass, threaten, and spy on “wanted” Chinese nationals residing in the U.S. and identified as a threat to China.

‘A human rights organization report found that there were likely as many as 100 secret police stations operated by the Chinese Community Part across the world.’

60-year-old Chen Jinping of New York City was arrested in April 2023 and accused of running a “clandestine police station” on U.S. soil, according to the DOJ. The secret police station “occupied an entire floor in an office building in Manhattan’s Chinatown” and was shut down in the fall of 2022.

Did UnitedHealthcare CEO Killer Act Alone?

Top Crime Investigators Believe UnitedHealthcare CEO Shooter Did Not Act Alone in Cold-Blooded Murder Plot – www.thegatewaypundit.com

Excerpt:

As the chilling details of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson’s murder continue to unfold, prominent crime investigators in an interview with the Daily Mail are raising alarming questions about whether the accused shooter, Luigi Mangione, acted alone.

Evidence gathered from CCTV footage, witness statements, and suspect behavior suggests the involvement of at least one accomplice, potentially making this case far more intricate than initially believed.

Mangione, a 26-year-old Ivy League graduate, faces charges of first-degree murder and murder as an act of terrorism for the December 4th slaying of Thompson outside a Midtown Manhattan hotel.

Despite Mangione’s handwritten manifesto proclaiming he acted alone, investigators like Brian O’Shea, a former U.S. Army intelligence officer and seasoned private investigator, argue otherwise.

Brian O’Shea, whom The Gateway Pundit previously interviewed, spent 11 years serving in U.S. Army intelligence, followed by another decade working as a contractor for various U.S. intelligence agencies. Now, he is the Chief Operations Officer at Centurion Intelligence Partners (a private intelligence consulting firm serving various industries).

China Claims “Carrier Killer” Missiles Could End U.S. Carrier Power

China “Threatens” To Paralyze U.S. Aircraft Carriers By Attacking Its Radars & Sensors; Hit Them With ‘Carrier Killer’ Missiles – EurAsian Times

Source Link
Excerpt:

… China understands that aircraft carriers and destroyers would be crucial for the U.S. Navy to puncture the blockade. This has prompted Beijing to develop and test some lethal weapons that could thwart the U.S. Navy, coming to Taiwan’s aid.

China has a powerful stockpile of anti-ship missiles, and its strategy to prevent U.S. forces from entering the Western Pacific is centered on these weapons.

China’s arsenal of anti-ship ballistic missiles, also known as “carrier killers,” has grown dramatically. China’s primary anti-ship missiles include the DF-21, DF-26, YJ-12, YJ-18, and YJ-83. Moreover, it also has YJ-21 and DF-27 hypersonic missiles that have the potential to penetrate air defenses and destroy U.S. Navy ships. Some of these weapons have been used in simulated strikes on U.S. carriers.

The U.S., on its part, has excellent machinery to detect incoming hostile targets and shoot them down just in time. It has reportedly been mulling the deployment of combat-proven Patriot interceptors to thwart a potential Chinese missile attack, in addition to other air defense assets.

Blinken Says U.S. Still Bullish on Ukraine’s NATO Membership

Excerpt:

Washington has long insisted that Kiev will join the bloc, but never clarified the exact timeline

Ukraine can only hope to join NATO if it reforms its military and succeeds in improving its democratic institutions, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said.

Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York on Wednesday, Blinken rejected the idea that the US, Germany, or other NATO allies are “standing in the way” of Kiev’s accession to the bloc. Ukraine has long aspired to become a full-fledged NATO member, and formally applied to join in the autumn of 2022 after four of its former regions overwhelmingly voted to join Russia.

The bloc, Blinken insisted, has “put Ukraine on a path to NATO membership” and taken concrete steps to advance this goal, while stopping short of clarifying the accession timeline.

“We set up for the first time in NATO’s history a dedicated command whose purpose is to help Ukraine along that path, to take the practical steps that it needs to take – in continuing to build and reform its military institutions, to continue to strengthen its democracy – that are necessary for membership,” he said.


 

The secretary of state admitted that it would be “very challenging for Russia” to agree to a peace deal over Ukraine that would not explicitly remove the prospect of Kiev joining NATO. However, he argued that Ukraine could potentially receive “other kinds of assurances, commitments, guarantees” that would be similar to Article 5 of the NATO Charter, which states that an attack on one member of the bloc is an attack on all.

In October, Politico reported that some NATO allies were not particularly happy with Vladimir Zelensky’s ‘victory plan’, which calls for Ukraine to receive an immediate invitation to join the bloc. The article identified the US and Germany as the countries opposed to his request over fears that it would draw them into a direct conflict with Russia.

Publicly, NATO has ruled out full membership for Ukraine as long as it is embroiled in the conflict with Russia. However, some Western officials have floated an option of “partial membership” for Kiev, an idea rejected by Zelensky, who argued that this would essentially mean that the country recognizes all of its territorial losses to Russia.

Moscow has long been opposed to NATO expansion towards its borders, seeing it as an existential threat. Russian President Vladimir Putin has said that Kiev’s ambition to join the bloc is one of the key reasons for the conflict, with Ukrainian neutrality, along with demilitarization and denazification, being Moscow’s main goals.

Biden Allegedly Pays Reuters to Write Hit Pieces on Musk that Justify “Investigations”

A government budget disclosure has exposed $300 million was paid to “journalists” at Reuters, all of which then wrote scurrilous articles alleging criminal activity in his businesses. Shortly after that, Biden’s anti-American government insurrectionist agents began opening investigations against Musk on multiple fronts.

In addition to their economic compensation, Reuters also received a Pulitzer award specifically for “their work on Elon Musk and misconduct at his business.” At the very least, the connections are strong enough to warrant serious investigation from the Department of Justice once its halls are led by Americans once again.

Syria is no more

In the span of less than 2 weeks, what started as a surge by anti-government forces in Syria turned into a complete rout, leading to the President of Syria, Bashar al-Assad, fleeing the country to become a political refugee in Russia. This also led to Israel launching the largest airstrike since the 6-Day War in an effort to eliminate the Syrian army’s left-behind equipment and munitions.

Excerpt:

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Saturday that the U.S. has made direct contact with Syria’s Hayat Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS) rebels, as they transition from a militant insurgency toward a more legitimate governing authority.

“We’ve been in contact with HTS and with other parties,” Blinken said after talks in Aqaba, Jordan, with diplomats and representatives from several Arab nations.

The U.S. designates HTS a terrorist organization, making it legally impossible to work with the group, but contact underscores ongoing efforts to change that designation as the U.S. and its allies look to support Syria’s transition from Assad rule.

In a joint statement released after the meeting, the governments of the U.S., Turkey, E.U., and Arab Countries called for a “a more hopeful, secure and peaceful future” in Syria, stressing respect for women and minorities, and preventing “the reemergence of all terrorist groups.”

Biden Pardons Child Traffickers, Pedophiles, and CCP Spies

pgnewser December 16, 2024 0

President Joe Biden has executed the largest single day of pardons in the history of the United States, issuing 39 pardons and 1,499 commutations of sentences. On the list of benefactors including a cash-for-kids judge who traded money for children’s freedom, CCP spies (including a pedophile), a Hamas terrorists’ brother, and a fentanyl queen.

The move comes following an unprecedented pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, who is declared immune from all Federal prosecutions for any crime he may have committed between 2014 and 2024. Rumors of more such pre-emptive pardons for DNC operatives like the Clintons and Obamas are gaining more credibility as not even Biden’s press secretary is denying them.

President Joe Biden released a list of 39 pardons and 1,499 commutations of sentences Thursday, setting the record for presidential clemencies in a single day.

The White House described the majority of those pardoned as having committed “nonviolent drug offenses.” The list did not go into detail on specific crimes.

The pardon list includes Mikhail Zemlyansky, a Long Island, New York, man who committed a $35 million fraud. New York City’s WNBC-TV reported prosecutors called it “the largest single no-fault car insurance fraud scheme ever prosecuted.”

John Paul Garcia’s name also appears on the list. The Las Vegas Optic’s jail log from July 26 reports Garcia was booked into the San Miguel County Detention Center for battery on a household member, despite the White House describing his crime as a “nonviolent offense.”

The full list of pardons and commutations can be found here.

The president is reportedly considering issuing preemptive pardons to President-elect Donald Trump’s political opponents, some of whom could include Dr. Anthony Fauci and former Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo.

“America was built on the promise of possibility and second chances,” Biden said in a White House press release.
