“We used biological evidence and in-depth analyses to show that SARS-CoV-2 must be a laboratory product, which was created by using a template virus (ZC45/ZXC21) owned by military research laboratories under the control of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) government,” reads the paper.
SARS-CoV2 is a product of laboratory modification, which can be created in approximately six months using a template virus owned by a laboratory of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). The fact that data fabrications were used to cover up the true origin of SARS-CoV 2 further implicates that the laboratory modification here is beyond simple gain-of-function research. The scale and the coordinated nature of this scientific fraud signifies the degree of corruption in the fields of academic research and public health. As a result of such corruption, damages have been made both tot he reputation of the scientific community and to the well-being of the global community.
The report also claims that the RaTG13 virus which Wuhan “Batwoman” Dr. Zhengli Shi and colleagues say they obtained in bat feces in 2013 (and which is 96% identical to SARS-CoV-2), is fraudulent and also man made.
Since its publication, the RaTG13 virus has served as the founding evidence for the theory that SARS-CoV-2 must have a natural origin. However, no live virus or an intact genome of RaTG13 have ever been isolated or recovered. Therefore, the only proof for the “existence” of RaTG13 in nature is its genomic sequence published on GenBank.
The report goes on to say that the RaTG13 genome could easily be fabricated, and that “an entry on GenBank, which in this case is equivalent to the existence of an assembled viral genomic sequence and its associated sequencing reads, is not a definitive proof that this viral genome is correct or real,” and that the process for sequencing DNA itself “leaves room for potential fraud.”
If one intends to fabricate an RNA viral genome on GenBank, he or she could do so by following these steps: create its genomic sequence on a computer, have segments of the genome synthesized based on the sequence, amplify each DNA segment through PCR, and then send the PCR products (may also be mixed with genetic material derived from the alleged host of the virus to mimic an authentic sequencing sample) for sequencing.The resulted raw sequencing reads would be used, together with the created genomic sequence, for establishing an entry on GenBank. Once accomplished, this entry would be accepted as the evidence for the natural existence of the corresponding virus. Clearly, a viral genomic sequence and its GenBank entry can be fabricated if well-planned.
RaTG13 has ‘multiple abnormal features,’ according to the report. For starters, it’s claimed that it was a fecal sample – yet just 1.7% of the raw sequencing reads are bacterial, when fecal swab samples are typically 70-90% bacterial. Second, the genomic sequence for RaTG13 contains segments of non-bat origin, including fox, flying fox, squirrels and other animals.
What’s more, China destroyed all evidence of RaTG13. “No independent verification of the RaTG13 sequence seems possible because, according to Dr. Zhengli Shi,the raw sample has been exhausted and no live virus was ever isolated or recovered. Notably, this information was known to a core circle of virologists early on and apparently accepted by them.”
Meanwhile, another coronavirus which shares a ‘100% nucleotide sequence identity with RaTG13’ – RaBtCoV/4991 – on a ‘short, 440-bp RNA-dependent RNA polymerase gene segment.’
RaBtCoV/4991 was allegedly discovered by Shi and colleagues in 2012 and published in 2016, and colleagues have been asking if it’s the same virus as RaTG13.
Given the 100% identity on this short gene segment between RaBtCoV/4991 and RaTG13,the field has demanded clarification of whether or not these two names refer to the same virus. However,Dr. Shi did not respond to the requestor address this question for months. The answer finally came from Peter Daszak, president of EcoHealth Alliance and long-term collaborator of Shi, who claimed that RaBtCoV/4991 was RaTG1327.
Three suspicious facts
First, it makes no sense that ‘Batwoman’ Shi and her team wouldn’t have conducted whole genome sequencing of RaBtCoV/4991 before 2020, as it was suspected in the deaths of miners who suffered from severe pneumonia after clearing out bat droppings in a Chinese mineshaft.
Given the Shi group’s consistent interests in studying SARS-like bat coronaviruses and the fact that RaBtCoV/4991 is a SARS-like coronavirus with a possible connection to the deaths of the miners, it is highly unlikely that the Shi group would be content with sequencing only a 440-bp segment of RdRpand not pursue the sequencing of the receptor-binding motif (RBM)-encoding region of the spike gene. In fact, sequencing of the spike gene is routinely attempted by the Shi group once the presence of a SARS-like bat coronavirus is confirmed by the sequencing of the 440-bp RdRpsegment25,32, although the success of such efforts is often hindered by the poor quality of the sample.
“Clearly, the perceivable motivation of the Shi group to study this RaBtCoV/4991 virus and the fact that no genome sequencing of it was done for a period of seven years (2013-2020) are hard to reconcile and explain.”
Meanwhile, genomic sequencing of RaTG13 was conducted in 2018.
Second, why did Shi delay publication on RaTG13 until 2020 when it’s got a Spike protein that can bind with human ACE2 receptors?
…if the genomic sequence of RaTG13 had been available since 2018, it is unlikely that this virus, which has a possible connection to miners’ deaths in 2012 and has an alarming SARS-like RBM, would be shelfed for two years without publication. Consistent with this analysis, a recent study indeed proved that the RBD of RaTG13(produced via gene synthesis based on its published sequence) was capable of binding hACE2
Third, there has been no follow-up work on RaTG13 by Shi’s group.
Upon obtaining the genomic sequence of a SARS-like bat coronavirus, the Shi group routinely investigate whether or not the virus is capable of infecting human cells. This pattern of research activities has been shown repeatedly. However, such a pattern is not seen here despite that RaTG13 has an interesting RBM and is allegedly the closest match evolutionarily to SARS-CoV-2
Direct genetic evidence proving RaTG13 is fraudulent
Yan’s group closely examined the sequences of specific spike proteins for relevant viruses – specifically comparing mutations, and found that the spike genes of SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13 do not contain evidence of natural evolution when compared to other coronaviruses which naturally evolved.
A logical interpretation of this observation is that SARS-CoV-2 and RaTG13 could not relate to each other through natural evolution and at least one must be artificial.If one is a product of natural evolution, then the other one must be not. It is also possible that neither of them exists naturally. If RaTG13 is a real virus that truly exists in nature, then SARS-CoV-2 must be artificial.
More:
It is highly likely that the sequence of the RaTG13 genome was fabricated by lightly modifying the SARS-CoV-2 sequence to achieve an overall 96.2% sequence identity. During this process, much editing must have been done for the RBM region of the S1/spike because the encoded RBM determines the interaction with ACE2 and therefore would be heavily scrutinized by others.
The paper concludes: All fabricated coronaviruses share a 100% amino acid sequence identity on the E protein with ZC45 and ZXC21
Evidence herein clearly indicates that the novel coronaviruses recently published by the CCP-controlled laboratories are all fraudulent and do not exist in nature. One final proof of this conclusion is the fact that all of these viruses share a 100% amino acid sequence identity on the E protein with bat coronaviruses ZC45 and ZXC21, which, as revealed in our earlier report1, should be the template/backbone used for the creation of SARS-CoV-2. Despite its conserved function in the viral replication cycle, the E protein is tolerant and permissive of amino acid mutations. It is therefore impossible for the amino acid sequence of the E protein to remain unchanged when the virus has allegedly crossed species barrier multiple times (between different bat species, from bats to pangolins, and from pangolins to humans). The 100% identity observed here, therefore, further proves that the sequences of these recently published novel coronaviruses have been fabricated .
Unrestricted bioweapon ?
Yan notes that while it’s not easy for the public to accept that SARS-CoV-2 is a bioweapon due to its relatively low lethality, it indeed meets the criteria of a bioweapon.
In 2005, Dr. Yang specified the criteria for a pathogen to qualify as a bioweapon: It is significantly virulent and can cause large scale casualty. It is highly contagious and transmits easily, often through respiratory routes in the form of aerosols. The most dangerous scenario would be that it allows human-to-human transmission. It is relatively resistant to environmental changes, can sustain transportation, and is capable of supporting targeted release. All of the above have been met bySARS-CoV-2: it has taken hundreds of thousands lives, led to numerous hospitalizations, and left many with sequela and various complications; it spreads easily by contact, droplets, and aerosols via respiratory routes and is capable of transmitting from human to human, the latter of which was initially covered up by the CCP government and the WHO and was first revealed by Dr. Li-Meng Yan on January 19th, 2020 on Lude Press; it is temperature-insensitive (unlike seasonal flu) and remains viable for a long period of time on many surfaces and at 4°C (e.g. the ice/water mixture).
What’s more, COVID-19 spreads asymptomatically, which “renders the control of SARS-CoV-2 extremely challenging.”
“In addition, the transmissibility, morbidity, and mortality of SARS-CoV-2 also resulted in panic in the global community, disruption of social orders, and decimation of the world’s economy. The range and destructive power of SARS-CoV-2 are both unprecedented.”
“Clearly,SARS-CoV-2 not only meets but also surpasses the standards of a traditional bioweapon. Therefore, it should be defined as an Unrestricted Bioweapon.”

stillnessinthestorm--2020-10-08--7 Quick Takeaways On The 2020 Vice Presidential Debate

( Mollie Hemingway ) Pence is a deceptively strong debater who would have been tough to beat even on a good night , but Harris ’ comparatively weaker substance combined with a frankly awful style did not help her out .
Related Mike Pence Owned Kamala and Debate Moderator on Transfer of Power Question — WHAT ABOUT OBAMA ?
( VIDEO ) The vice presidential debate between Sen. Kamala Harris , D-Calif. , and Vice President Mike Pence was more traditional and less raucous than last week ’ s debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fest marked by Biden losing track of his thoughts and Trump clumsily returning to slights that had occurred 25 minutes earlier .
This debate was less exciting , a reminder of what politics was like before Trump came onto the scene .
Still , it had its moments that bolstered each campaign ’ s strongest arguments .
For Pence , that meant a frequent recursion to first principles and first-term successes .
For Harris , that meant a focus on coronavirus and negative descriptions of the Republican Party and its president .
Here @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it went down .
Mike Pence , a former congressman and talk radio host , started off strong and just kept getting stronger .
He clearly came prepared for the debate .
He had a ready recall of facts and figures to bolster his points .
He nailed the questions he wanted to answer and deflected on the questions he preferred not to answer .
While he let several zingers fly , he stayed calm and steady , pushing back at what he perceived as unduly false statements but without the constant interruptions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ slowly and left few cards on the table unplayed .
He was nice , firm , decent , and likable .
Pence ’ s weakest points were when he was on defense about the global pandemic gripping the country .
However , he came into the debate prepared to lay out how a Trump-Pence vision for America is better than the one put forth by Biden and Harris and he accomplished that consistently throughout the debate .
He made a strong case for Trump ’ s foreign policy being effective and Biden ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ had Kamala Harris on the ropes about whether she and Biden would raise taxes on Americans on their first day in office .
He effectively showed the country her refusal to openly support court-packing , a position she previously supported .
2 .
Harris ’ s Superpower Is Something Other Than Debating The conventional wisdom heading into the debate was that Harris , a former prosecutor , would obliterate the nice and meek Pence .
It was never clear why that conventional wisdom formed , considering she performed poorly in the Democratic primary @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Iowa caucuses and her only clear win was when she accused her now running mate Joe Biden of being a virulent racist .
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii put the California senator on the ropes for her criminal justice record .
Having said that , Harris had a very strong start to the VP debate , with a rehearsed but very effective answer about the Trump administration ’ s failures to handle the coronavirus epidemic the way she and Biden would .
Pressed for details on what she ’ d do differently @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quite regained a strong footing .
Both candidates declined to answer questions , usually effectively .
But her refusal to answer repeated questions about whether she and her running mate plan to pack the Supreme Court in retaliation for Republicans appointing a new justice in a constitutional manner was uncomfortable .
She also lied frequently , and perhaps in ways that were too easily caught .
She lied about Abraham Lincoln , she repeated the completely false Charlottesville hoax , and she falsely claimed Trump called COVID a hoax .
She tried to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a way that reminded voters of how he ’ s been all over the map on whether he zealously seeks to ban fracking or definitely does not want to .
She feigned outrage when Pence said he hoped Democrats wouldn ’ t engage in religious attacks on Amy Coney Barrett , as they have already done .
But Harris herself tried to impose a religious test on a nominee for being a member of the Knights of Columbus , a Catholic lay group .
As soon as the debate was over and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all the pundits said it didn ’ t matter because vice-presidential debates “ don ’ t matter.
” While it ’ s true that the vice presidential slot isn ’ t the most important thing on people ’ s minds in a presidential election , these debates frequently matter .
One of the undervalued contributors to Trump ’ s stunning 2016 victory was the masterful performance Pence had in his debate against Hillary Clinton running mate Tim Kaine , who was admittedly a bit of a disaster .
In that debate , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the bad orange man , Pence explained why Republican voters supported him , forcing a debate on policy and away from the personality questions that so riled journalists .
I saw someone on Twitter describe Pence as the yin to Trump ’ s yang and there is a truth in that .
Many pundits have never understood how the traditional Republican voter could ever vote for Trump , much less be so unfailingly loyal to him .
Pence is the embodiment of the answer to that question .
He articulates a Trump-supporting traditional @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s a compelling and persuasive answer for millions of people purposely ignored by media coverage and its discussions of the 2020 election .

On Sale Now .
Nancy Pelosi biographer Susan Page moderated the debate .
Liberal commentators accused Pence of speaking too long and Page certainly kept cutting him off , but Rick Klein of ABC News said that Pence spoke for 35:22 relative to Harris ’ time of 38:48 .
CNN claimed the two spoke @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Billed as a debate , the evening was more a parallel interview of each candidate .
Americans might be better served by witnessing an actual debate between candidates .
That is particularly true in an environment where the media are functionally running the Biden campaign and refusing to ask questions that the Trump campaign would like to see asked .
Harris was asked about whether she and Biden plan to pack the court , but only because Pence pressed her on the issue .
It was Pence who brought up Biden ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ collusion hoax that the country was put through over the last several years .
Pence raised the issue of impeachment — one of the only legislative accomplishments of the Democratic Party this Congress , albeit one that clearly backfired .
Nevertheless , the range of topics was fairly good .

by Mollie Hemingway, October 8th, 2020
The vice presidential debate between Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and Vice President Mike Pence was more traditional and less raucous than last week’s debate between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden. That debate was a three-way interruption fest marked by Biden losing track of his thoughts and Trump clumsily returning to slights that had occurred 25 minutes earlier.
This debate was less exciting, a reminder of what politics was like before Trump came onto the scene. Still, it had its moments that bolstered each campaign’s strongest arguments. For Pence, that meant a frequent recursion to first principles and first-term successes. For Harris, that meant a focus on coronavirus and negative descriptions of the Republican Party and its president.
Here are a few quick takeaways on how it went down.
1. Pence’s Superpower Is Debating
Mike Pence, a former congressman and talk radio host, started off strong and just kept getting stronger. He clearly came prepared for the debate. He had a ready recall of facts and figures to bolster his points. He nailed the questions he wanted to answer and deflected on the questions he preferred not to answer.
While he let several zingers fly, he stayed calm and steady, pushing back at what he perceived as unduly false statements but without the constant interruptions of the Trump-Biden debate. He spoke slowly and left few cards on the table unplayed. He was nice, firm, decent, and likable.
Pence’s weakest points were when he was on defense about the global pandemic gripping the country. However, he came into the debate prepared to lay out how a Trump-Pence vision for America is better than the one put forth by Biden and Harris and he accomplished that consistently throughout the debate.
He made a strong case for Trump’s foreign policy being effective and Biden’s being decades of failure. He had Kamala Harris on the ropes about whether she and Biden would raise taxes on Americans on their first day in office. He effectively showed the country her refusal to openly support court-packing, a position she previously supported.
2. Harris’s Superpower Is Something Other Than Debating
The conventional wisdom heading into the debate was that Harris, a former prosecutor, would obliterate the nice and meek Pence. It was never clear why that conventional wisdom formed, considering she performed poorly in the Democratic primary debates. She left that contest before the Iowa caucuses and her only clear win was when she accused her now running mate Joe Biden of being a virulent racist. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii put the California senator on the ropes for her criminal justice record.
Having said that, Harris had a very strong start to the VP debate, with a rehearsed but very effective answer about the Trump administration’s failures to handle the coronavirus epidemic the way she and Biden would. Pressed for details on what she’d do differently, she began to struggle and never quite regained a strong footing.
Both candidates declined to answer questions, usually effectively. But her refusal to answer repeated questions about whether she and her running mate plan to pack the Supreme Court in retaliation for Republicans appointing a new justice in a constitutional manner was uncomfortable.
She also lied frequently, and perhaps in ways that were too easily caught. She lied about Abraham Lincoln, she repeated the completely false Charlottesville hoax, and she falsely claimed Trump called COVID a hoax. She tried to defend Biden on fracking but did so in a way that reminded voters of how he’s been all over the map on whether he zealously seeks to ban fracking or definitely does not want to.
She feigned outrage when Pence said he hoped Democrats wouldn’t engage in religious attacks on Amy Coney Barrett, as they have already done. But Harris herself tried to impose a religious test on a nominee for being a member of the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic lay group.
3. Yes, VP Debates Matter
As soon as the debate was over and everyone knew that Pence did well, all the pundits said it didn’t matter because vice-presidential debates “don’t matter.” While it’s true that the vice presidential slot isn’t the most important thing on people’s minds in a presidential election, these debates frequently matter.
One of the undervalued contributors to Trump’s stunning 2016 victory was the masterful performance Pence had in his debate against Hillary Clinton running mate Tim Kaine, who was admittedly a bit of a disaster. In that debate, which was focused on, what else, the bad orange man, Pence explained why Republican voters supported him, forcing a debate on policy and away from the personality questions that so riled journalists.
I saw someone on Twitter describe Pence as the yin to Trump’s yang and there is a truth in that. Many pundits have never understood how the traditional Republican voter could ever vote for Trump, much less be so unfailingly loyal to him. Pence is the embodiment of the answer to that question. He articulates a Trump-supporting traditional Republicanism that many voters hold. And it’s a compelling and persuasive answer for millions of people purposely ignored by media coverage and its discussions of the 2020 election.
4. Debate Or Parallel Interviews
Nancy Pelosi biographer Susan Page moderated the debate. Liberal commentators accused Pence of speaking too long and Page certainly kept cutting him off, but Rick Klein of ABC News said that Pence spoke for 35:22 relative to Harris’ time of 38:48. CNN claimed the two spoke about the same amount of time.
Billed as a debate, the evening was more a parallel interview of each candidate. Americans might be better served by witnessing an actual debate between candidates.
That is particularly true in an environment where the media are functionally running the Biden campaign and refusing to ask questions that the Trump campaign would like to see asked. Harris was asked about whether she and Biden plan to pack the court, but only because Pence pressed her on the issue.
It was Pence who brought up Biden’s involvement in the false and damaging Russia collusion hoax that the country was put through over the last several years. Pence raised the issue of impeachment — one of the only legislative accomplishments of the Democratic Party this Congress, albeit one that clearly backfired.
Nevertheless, the range of topics was fairly good.
5. Biased Questions
One of the problems with the media being so uniformly in support of the Democratic Party and its goals is that nearly all the questions posed in debates are loaded with false assumptions. The first question to Pence, for instance, was that the U.S. death toll was worse than “almost” any other “wealthy” country on earth. The U.S. case fatality rate of 2.8 percent is below Italy, United Kingdom, Belgium, Sweden, Canada, France, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, and Germany, something that the media rarely mention.
When Page asked Harris about whether she’d take a vaccine, she neglected to mention that Harris had made anti-vaccination remarks weeks ago.
Page couched a discussion of the economy in a claim that the economy is not recovering. “Vice President Pence, your administration has been predicting a rapid and robust recovery, but the latest economic report suggests that’s not happening.” In fact, the latest estimate from the Atlanta Federal Reserve is that third-quarter GDP growth will be more than 35 percent, the largest in history.
“Do you believe that climate change poses an existential threat?” was the general tenor of the questions. She highlighted that “President Trump” blames China for the coronavirus, as if it’s in dispute that the coronavirus came from and was mishandled by China. Instead of asking Harris for her support of abortion through all nine months of pregnancy, and for suing nuns to force them to pay for abortions, Page went with a far friendlier “Would you want your home state to enact no restrictions on access to abortion?”
Page didn’t ask Harris about supporting a bail-out fund for rioters.
Most egregiously, a question about the peaceful transfer of power was posed as if this was a concern for Trump, even though it is the Resistance who, by definition, have fought the 2016 election’s legitimacy for nearly four years now.
Pence was asked tough questions about things Trump has said or done. That is appropriate and good. It is also appropriate and necessary for Biden and Harris to be asked tough questions about their views. That is where the media have completely abdicated responsibility in favor of their preferred 2020 approach of campaign advocacy.
As Ari Fleischer wrote, “Page asked Qs re some of Pres. Trump’s most controversial statements. Fair enough. But she didn’t ask about Biden’s you ain’t black statement; blacks aren’t diverse; getting arrested in So. Africa; flip-flopping on fracking; packing the court or Harris comparing ICE to the KKK.”
6. Smug Alert
One of the most surprising things about last night’s debate was how Harris struggled to keep cool, particularly at the beginning. A split-screen showed both candidates for much of the debate. Even when a huge fly landed on Pence’s mane, to the distraction of many, he kept the same calm demeanor.
Harris bobbed her head, shook her head, laughed oddly, sneered, and generally exuded smug vibes. Controlling facial expressions on television is difficult, but it’s important for the medium.
The campaign appeared to try to explain her debate defeat by claiming that Pence had “mansplained” to her, a weak retort under the best of circumstances. But following a debate where everyone witnessed how condescending and smug Harris came off, particularly without merit, it was an explanation that failed to land outside of media echo chambers.
Pence is a deceptively strong debater who would have been tough to beat even on a good night, but Harris’ comparatively weaker substance combined with a frankly awful style did not help her out.
7. No Need to Blame Poor Performances On Sexism
Following the debate, many of the media hosts who serve as Biden/Harris surrogates started saying, without evidence, that Pence had “mansplained” to Harris or that women are held to different standards than men on the debate stage, or that criticism of her smugness was sexist.
In fact, it’s fine for observers to critique both male and female debaters, particularly when those debaters are running for the top offices in the land. While women are sometimes judged on a likability scale that can seem inscrutable, no one can claim that Trump is not judged for his likability. Some might even note that it’s the number one obsession for most media types.
Not everyone is a great debater. Most people aren’t, in fact. Pence is very good. Harris is a bit overbearing. Some people love it and it rubs a lot of other people the wrong way. Such is life. It’s something Trump deals with, too.
Harris could improve her performance by lowering the temperature on her condescension and developing more substance behind her brashness.

The criminal investigation into Biden also includes his actives in the Ukraine.

Months of stunning disclosures in Flynn’s case have also revealed extensive malfeasance by FBI investigators in his case and that of the investigation into President Donald Trump’s campaign. For example, the recent revelation that former British spy Christopher Steele’s primary sub source for the debunked dossier was a Russian spy that was being monitored by the FBI for years and that they kept this information from the FISA courts is a reflection on the culture of corruption that existed inside the bureau during the Obama administration.
Powell stated in the motion filed Wednesday, that her request for the disqualification of Sullivan from further participation in this case was based partly on “his failure to follow the mandamus of the D.C. Circuit panel and his decision with his own retained counsel to take the unprecedented and improper step of filing his petition for rehearing en banc, Judge Sullivan ‘cast an intolerable cloud of partiality over his subsequent judicial conduct’ and “risk[ed] [] undermining the public’s confidence in the judicial process.”
Last week, Flynn’s defense attorney Sidney Powell battled with Sullivan during a hearing saying, he had displayed “abject bias” in her clients case and should recuse himself.
She stunned the court when Sullivan then turned and asked her if she had ever discussed Flynn’s case with President Donald Trump. Further, the Justice Department agreed last week that the case should be dismissed, stating there was no controversy between the two parties. Sullivan, however, is refusing to give up the fight and acting more like a prosecutor, stated Powell in a previous interview with this reporter.
Powell told Sullivan, “I can tell you I spoke one time with the president, one time about this case to inform him of the general status of the case.” She then said when asked if any requests were made, “no, other than he not issue a pardon.”
Powell’s arduous work ethic over the past several years and investigations have led to the disclosures off unbelievable malfeasance both within the FBI, as well as alleged cover-ups and actions that could be construed as obstruction of justice among former prosecutors in Robert Mueller’s special counsel that originally charged Flynn with lying to investigators.
Powell also enclosed now fully redacted documentation obtained by Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham during his committee’s recent requests and investigation into the FBI and CIA’s handling of the investigation into Trump and Russia.
The explosive information received by Graham from the Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliff revealed that Flynn and Trump were more than likely dragged through the mud in national and international media by an operation allegedly set up by Hillary Clinton. The information was obtained by CIA Director John Brennan through Russian sources and briefed to President Barrack Obama in the White House in July, 2016.
In late July 2016, U.S. intelligence agencies obtained insight into Russian intelligence analysis alleging that U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had approved a campaign plan to stir up a scandal against U.S . Presidential candidate Donald Trump by tying him to Putin and the Russians’ hacking of the Democratic National Committee. The IC does not know the accuracy ofthis allegation or the extent to which the Russian intelligence analysis may reflect exaggeration or fabrication.
According to his handwritten notes, former Central Intelligence Agency Director Brennan subsequently briefed President Obama and other senior national security officials on the intelligence, including the “alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on July 26, 2016 of a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services.”
On 07 September 2016, U.S. intelligence officials forwarded an investigative referral to FBI Director James Corney and Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence Peter Strzok regarding “U.S. Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s approval of a plan concerning U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump and Russian hackers hampering U.S . elections as a means o f distracting the public from her use o f a private mail server.”
Flynn’s national case has led to hundreds of thousands of supporters and his request for dismissal of Sullivan comes on the heels of President Donald Trump’s Tuesday night announcement that he will declassify all documents pertaining to the Russia hoax investigation by the bureau into his campaign, as well as the FBI’s failed investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email to send government documents. Then FBI Director James Comey, who was since fired by Trump for his actions, exonerated Clinton months before ever interviewing her or the witnesses involved in her secret server scam.
Powell references the case of In re Al Nashiri, 921 F.3d 224, 237, 239 (D.C. Cir. 2019) in her motion: “[A]ll that must be demonstrated to compel recusal,” then, is “a showing of an appearance of bias…sufficient to permit the average citizen reasonably to question a judge’s impartiality.”
Powell noted in her motion that “Sullivan satisfied that standard when he actively litigated against General Flynn. He has since far exceeded it—rising to the level of demonstrating actual bias. The court’s contempt and disdain for the defense was palpable throughout the hearing on September 29, 2020, including when defense counsel made an oral motion for his immediate disqualification, which he refused to allow even to be fully stated for the record.”
Powell stated that Sullivan’s “immediate disqualification is mandatory” based on previous case law and as established by his actions throughout his time overseeing Flynn’s trial.
Established case law, said Powell, requires that a judge “shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned,” and § 455(b)(1) states that a judge “shall disqualify himself… where he has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party…”
FROM POWELL’S MOTION
Because “unbiased, impartial adjudicators are the cornerstone of any system of justice worthy of the label, [a]nd because ‘[d]eference to the judgments and rulings of courts depends upon public confidence in the integrity and independence of judges,’ jurists must avoid even the appearance of partiality.” Al Nashiri, 921 F.3d at 233- 234. The court jettisoned any appearance of neutrality before and throughout the hearing. Judge Sullivan’s words and conduct prior to and during the hearing have had a profound negative affect on “public confidence in the integrity of the judicial process” and require him to recuse himself under §455(a) and §455(b)(1). Liljeberg v. Health Servs. Acquisition Corp., 486 U.S. 847, 860 (1988). See Ex. A (a random sample of tweets of citizens in response to the hearing).
28 U.S.C. § 455(b)(5)(i) requires a judge to disqualify himself when “he is a party to the proceeding.” When the district judge aggressively petitioned for rehearing en banc as if he were a party, it invoked the application of this section sufficiently to trigger the application of 455(a) for the appearance of bias and 455(b)(1) for personal bias against General Flynn himself. Indeed, by the time of the en banc oral argument, the court’s conduct was so far afield from all precedent, the Solicitor
