saraacater--2020-06-23--Trump Tasks Fed. Law Enforcement To Arrest DC Vandals, Vows To Block An ‘Autonomous Zone’

After a night of violent protests in Lafayette Park outside of the White House Monday , President Donald Trump is threatening vandals who destroy federal property with “ up to 10 years in prison , ” he wrote on Twitter Tuesday .
Overnight , vandals sought to topple the Andrew Jackson statue near the White House .
The rioters also attempted to establish an autonomous zone outside of St. John ’ s church , the very building rioters recently torched in the protests that followed the tragic death of George Floyd .
The President said offenders could face up to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s Memorial Preservation Act of 2003 .
“ Whoever , in a circumstance described in subsection ( b ) , willfully injures or destroys , or attempts to injure or destroy , any structure , plaque , statue , or other monument on public property commemorating the service of any person or persons in the armed forces of the United States shall be fined under this title , imprisoned not more than 10 years , or both.
” The President wrote that the action will be “ effective immediately , but may @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vandalism already caused , ” adding that “ There will be no exceptions !
”

In a surprising twist, a newly unsealed court document has unveiled that Special Counsel Jack Smith managed to gain access to former President Donald J Trump’s Twitter account, including its private messages and draft tweets. This revelation comes amidst his ongoing investigations into alleged wrongdoings by the ex-president.
The document indicates that Smith obtained a secret search warrant in January, permitting him to scrutinize the ‘@RealDonaldTrump’ account for potential evidence related to criminal activities. Initially, a judge imposed a hefty fine of $350,000 on Elon Musk’s social media conglomerate, previously known as Twitter, for its refusal to cooperate, as revealed in documents released last week.
Furthermore, the court order also restricted the company, now identified as X, from informing Trump about the warrant. According to sources from Smith’s special counsel team, the fear was that if Trump were alerted to the warrant, he might interfere with the investigation.
An attorney from Smith’s team explained, “There actually are concrete cognizable reasons to think that if the former president had notice of these covert investigative steps, there would be actual harm and concern for the investigation, for the witnesses going forward.”
Following some legal wrangling, the unsealed filing discloses that Twitter ultimately provided the requested records. The court filing specifies that Smith secured a search warrant that directed Twitter to hand over ‘data and records’ linked to Trump’s Twitter account, according to reports from the Daily Mail. The content of the messages and draft tweets remains undisclosed.
As per a transcript included in the submission, a legal representative from Twitter affirmed that the company divulged ‘all direct messages, including those in ‘draft form,’ to the special counsel’s team. Moreover, access to both ‘eliminated’ and ‘retained’ direct messages from Trump was accorded to the special counsel’s team.
The former president, in response, accused Joe Biden of being responsible for the warrant and criticized Smith for what he deemed a violation of his privacy. Trump posted on Monday to voice his displeasure, stating, “How dare lowlife prosecutor, Deranged Jack Smith, breaking into my Twitter account without informing me and, indeed, trying to completely hide this atrocity from me. What could he possibly find out that is not already known.”
Smith’s actions have culminated in a 37-count indictment against Trump, with charges ranging from obstruction of justice in relation to classified materials to his efforts to maintain power after losing the 2020 election. The indictment also implicates Trump in spreading falsehoods and encouraging the events of January 6th, characterized as an attack on the Capitol “fueled by lies.”
In response to these developments, Smith issued a public statement underscoring that the assault on the Capitol was “fueled by lies” propagated by Trump, aiming to disrupt the core workings of the U.S. government’s electoral process. Smith asserted his commitment to a ‘swift’ trial as part of his pursuit of justice.

In an interview with the Washington Post’s Robert Costa on Tuesday afternoon, former National Security Advisor John Bolton tore into President Donald Trump over foreign policy and his actions with international organizations. The comments come on the same day as the release of Bolton’s controversial book, The Room Where It Happened.
When asked if Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Russians have manipulated the President’s worldview, Bolton asserted there “wasn’t much there to manipulate.”
“I don’t think the President has a worldview. That to me is the central problem. He doesn’t approach national security with a philosophy in mind,” Bolton said. “He doesn’t have a grand strategy, he doesn’t have policies.”
Bolton named Putin and China’s Communist Party leader Xi Jinping as world leaders he believes manipulate the President.
“They do see the President as easy to maneuver around to achieve their objectives,” Bolton said. “I think that’s a very real concern.”
Bolton’s book has stirred up controversy over its content as The Justice Department resorted to legal action to halt the book’s release, saying there was classified information.
On Saturday, the request was denied. However, the Judge, U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth, expressed concerns that Bolton “gambled with the national security of the United States” in proceeding with the book’s release.

@ @ @ @ @ full story .

UPDATE:
In a significant turn of events, Attorney General Merrick Garland made a surprising announcement on Friday, elevating Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss to the role of special counsel. This decision marks a shift in focus towards the investigation of the Biden family’s financial matters. The probe, which encompasses Hunter Biden’s tax affairs and any potential connections his father, President Joe Biden, might have with his foreign associates, is slated to extend into the 2024 election cycle. Interestingly, this move comes as former President Donald Trump is simultaneously facing two federal indictments from the same department.
Garland stressed that the decision to appoint Weiss as an independent prosecutor aligns with the “public interest” and adheres to departmental regulations. Importantly, this transition was initiated by Weiss himself, who, earlier this week, conveyed his belief that the investigation had reached a point where he should proceed as a special counsel.
Weiss is no stranger to this intricate landscape. He is the federal prosecutor responsible for bringing charges against President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, in Delaware. Recent times have witnessed the unfolding of legal proceedings involving Hunter Biden, including a probation-oriented plea arrangement that was ultimately rejected by a judge. In June, Hunter Biden agreed to a deal with federal prosecutors, admitting guilt in two tax-related offenses and a firearm charge, potentially leading to the dismissal of the latter charge. This latest development underscores the intensification of scrutiny into the financial affairs of the Biden family and highlights the evolving legal landscape involving prominent political figures.
—
Attorney General Merrick Garland will speak to the public Friday afternoon. It is highly anticipated because I believe, as do many others, that he may be getting ready to announce the appointment of a Special Counsel to investigate “Hunter Biden” and his financial dealings overseas. Although, welcome there are still too many concerns with the DOJ that need to be addressed and there is little faith among many Americans that anything will be done.
Americans have witnessed the makings and the result of a two tiered justice system since President Trump was elected and then the continuing targeting of Trump even after his term as president.
I’ve spoken about the need for an outside investigation into Hunter Biden and President Biden at length on my podcast, The Sara Carter Show and on Fox News. But I’ve been jaded by the failures of past investigations and the weaponization of the Justice Department to do its job. The failure of the DOJ to be blind and just has been devastating to our nation.
Will Garland appoint a special counsel? I don’t know but as Americans we must demand that our leadership, our bureaucracies and our law makers follow the rule of law without prejudice. If they do not, as we have seen over the past decade with the establishments attacks on President Donald Trump and the weaponization of the system to target him, then our foundation will not only be fractured but it will be irreparable.
Either way, the alleged crimes and obvious financial connections linked to the Biden family with adversarial nations like China and Russia must be thoroughly investigated and the investigation must be made public. The Biden connections and large sums of money taken from government connected energy companies in Ukraine must also be thoroughly vetted and any improprieties must be made public.

Senators Move To Make UFO Data Public

Lawmakers in the Senate Intelligence Committee are moving forward with a request that would order the Defense Department and U.S. Intelligence agencies to create a public , unclassified , collection of all information and data on “ unidentified aerial phenomenon , ” also known as unidentified flying objects , UFOs .
According to The NY Post , Senators recognized the existence of a “ Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force ” and the need for a comprehensive analysis of unidentified flying objects .
“ In his report attached to the 2020-2021 Senate Intelligence Authorization Act , Florida Sen. Marco Rubio , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , instructs the director of national intelligence , the secretary of defense and other agency heads to compile data on ‘ unidentified aerial phenomenon , ' ” according to The Post .
Rubio and his committee expressed concern about not having a concentrated analysis of these objects — especially since it could pose a national security threat .
The lawmakers agreed the findings should be public .
“ The Committee understands that the relevant intelligence may be sensitive ; nevertheless , the Committee finds that the information sharing and coordination across the Intelligence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ issue has lacked attention from senior leaders , ” the report reads .
According to Politico , if passed , the Intelligence Agencies would have 180 days to craft a report for the director of national intelligence and the secretary of defense .
This decision follows the Pentagon releasing videos of these objects two months ago .
As previously reported on this news site , The Pentagon released three unclassified videos showing the U.S. Navy ’ s encounters with “ unidentified aerial phenomena ” on April 27 .
“ The U.S. Navy previously @ @ @ @ @ @ @ public domain were indeed Navy videos .
After a thorough review , the department has determined that the authorized release of these unclassified videos does not reveal any sensitive capabilities or systems , and does not impinge on any subsequent investigations of military air space incursions by unidentified aerial phenomena , ” DOD said in a statement .
The provision passed today will move to the Senate for a vote and potentially lead to greater public knowledge on UFOs .

saraacater--2020-06-24--Flynn Free. Case Exposes Depth Of Operation Against Trump Admin By Obama And Cronies.

I always believed it was bound to come to this , mainly because the government officials involved in investigating Flynn , the same ones who targeted President Donald Trump , were sloppy narcissists that operated for years with impunity because of their brash arrogance .
Another reason I believed he would be free is because he was always innocent of the charges and Sidney Powell , his new defense attorney , is tenacious enough to never give up until all the evidence is uncovered .
After all , the investigation against Trump and Flynn was just ancillary for former Director @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Assistant Deputy Director Andrew McCabe , former FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok , as well as the most senior officials in then Obama ’ s administration , to include the president and Vice President Joe Biden .
Because in 2016 these slimy officials that were breaking the rules and stepping all over the U.S. Constitution believed Hillary Clinton was going to win .
They just needed someone to look worse than Clinton , that in their mind was President Trump .
Remember , she was already under investigation for using a private server @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s a very real crime and she knew it .
She also had a past that was going to come back and haunt her without a fight during her bid for the 2016 presidential election .
Her allies in government [ the deep state bureaucrats ] needed to make someone look worse .
Sadly , their actions early on were nothing more than a ruse on the American people – that is , until the American people elected President Trump to office .
In their arrogance early on during the investigation , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Department officials and others left trails of notes of everything they were planning , intricate details of those involved , and of course their objective in targeting the Trump campaign .
President Trump Tweeted Wednesday , “ Is James Comey and his band of Dirty Cops going to apologize to General Michael Flynn ( and Many others ) for what they have done to ruin his life ?
What about Robert Mueller and his Angry Democrat Cronies – Are they going to say , SO SORRY ?
And what about Obama & Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Flynn and the administration is illegal and a conspiracy against the American people .
Justice can never fully be served until those senior Obama officials who lied , stepped on the constitution , opened a false investigation against the Trump administration are indicted and jailed .
This should never happen again but the arrogance of those who did this proves that it happened time and time before .
It didn ’ t start with the Trump administration .
Mark my words on this .
These Clinton bureaucrats and federal law enforcement officials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ never been caught .
And it was revealed in how sloppy they were during their investigation into the Trump campaign .
Those officials scattered their notes in files , emails and personal text messages like seeds that readily did spring up as soon as diligent investigators and attorneys , like Powell , started looking for them .
Powell and Attorney General William Barr ’ s appointed prosecutor on the case U.S. Attorney Jefferey Jensen uncovered some of the most damning evidence against the FBI and those targeting Flynn .
In fact , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bill Priestap revealed that the bureau was either going to get Flynn ‘ to lie ’ or get him fired by in an effort to use him to target the president .
These deep state bureaucrats also needed Flynn out of the way .
Why ?
Because the reality was that at the time the Trump administration came into office Flynn was the only one that really understood how the government operated and frankly he was already onto what the Obama administration had been doing .
He would discover their malfeasance .
These @ @ @ @ @ @ @ careers .
What they didn ’ t realize , is that some Trump administration officials were already onto what the Obama administration had been doing .
In fact , there was already significant evidence that Obama officials were unmasking Trump campaign volunteers .
Flynn , along with those who he brought on into the White House , would have eventually discovered how deep the conspiracy against the Trump campaign was but that would have also revealed that the malfeasance was not just in the FBI but ran at the direction and straight to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Now , these newly explosive and exculpatory notes penned by former FBI agent Peter Strzok reveal just that : President Obama was well aware of what was going on and how the bureau was handling the investigation .
They were obtained this week as part of the Justice Department ’ s ongoing review of the case against Flynn and according to Powell they were turned over to her for review .
Powell was stunned at the extent of the notes and told this reporter that they are just another piece of the puzzle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s very apparent from Strzok ’ s notes that Biden mentioned the “ Logan Act ” to the people who attended the meeting on Jan. 4 , in the Oval Office .
The discussion centered completely around Flynn .
From the notes , it ’ s not clear what exactly Biden said about the antiquated 1799 law , but Powell believes he was the one to raise the idea .
Also , it was the same law that David Ignatius mentioned in his column regarding Flynn that set off the public @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meeting , which was attended by President Barack Obama , then-FBI Director James Comey , Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates , and national security adviser Susan Rice was just days before the inauguration and just a day before Strzok made the decision to keep the case opened against Flynn .
Earlier on Jan. 4 , an FBI memo cleared Flynn , stating the bureau could find no derogatory information on Flynn , nor anyone he was in contact with in his past .
Strzok put the “ Logan Act ” in quotes next @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Here is the transcription of former FBI agent Peter Stork ’ s notes regarding General Flynn .
It was a conversation that likely took place at the White House on January 4 , 2017 , with then-National Security Advisor Susan Rice , former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates , Comey , Biden , and of course , President Obama .
VP ( Biden ) : I ’ ve been on the intel committee for ten years and I never P ( Obama ) : Make sure you look over things and have the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) : Is there anything I shouldn ’ t be telling the transition team ?

Michael Flynn is free.
I always believed it was bound to come to this, mainly because the government officials involved in investigating Flynn, the same ones who targeted President Donald Trump, were sloppy narcissists that operated for years with impunity because of their brash arrogance. Another reason I believed he would be free is because he was always innocent of the charges and Sidney Powell, his new defense attorney, is tenacious enough to never give up until all the evidence is uncovered.

She also had a past that was going to come back and haunt her without a fight during her bid for the 2016 presidential election. Her allies in government [the deep state bureaucrats] needed to make someone look worse. Sadly, their actions early on were nothing more than a ruse on the American people – that is, until the American people elected President Trump to office.
In their arrogance early on during the investigation, these highly trained FBI officials, Justice Department officials and others left trails of notes of everything they were planning, intricate details of those involved, and of course their objective in targeting the Trump campaign.
President Trump Tweeted Wednesday, “Is James Comey and his band of Dirty Cops going to apologize to General Michael Flynn (and Many others) for what they have done to ruin his life? What about Robert Mueller and his Angry Democrat Cronies – Are they going to say, SO SORRY? And what about Obama & Biden?”
Moreover, what was done to Flynn and the administration is illegal and a conspiracy against the American people. Justice can never fully be served until those senior Obama officials who lied, stepped on the constitution, opened a false investigation against the Trump administration are indicted and jailed. This should never happen again but the arrogance of those who did this proves that it happened time and time before. It didn’t start with the Trump administration. Mark my words on this.

These Clinton bureaucrats and federal law enforcement officials have done this before and apparently have never been caught. And it was revealed in how sloppy they were during their investigation into the Trump campaign.
Those officials scattered their notes in files, emails and personal text messages like seeds that readily did spring up as soon as diligent investigators and attorneys, like Powell, started looking for them.
Powell and Attorney General William Barr’s appointed prosecutor on the case U.S. Attorney Jefferey Jensen uncovered some of the most damning evidence against the FBI and those targeting Flynn. In fact, the notes written by former FBI counterintelligence director Bill Priestap revealed that the bureau was either going to get Flynn ‘to lie’ or get him fired by in an effort to use him to target the president.
These deep state bureaucrats also needed Flynn out of the way. Why? Because the reality was that at the time the Trump administration came into office Flynn was the only one that really understood how the government operated and frankly he was already onto what the Obama administration had been doing. He would discover their malfeasance. These officials were fighting for their lives and careers.
What they didn’t realize, is that some Trump administration officials were already onto what the Obama administration had been doing. In fact, there was already significant evidence that Obama officials were unmasking Trump campaign volunteers. Flynn, along with those who he brought on into the White House, would have eventually discovered how deep the conspiracy against the Trump campaign was but that would have also revealed that the malfeasance was not just in the FBI but ran at the direction and straight to the top of the White House.
Now, these newly explosive and exculpatory notes penned by former FBI agent Peter Strzok reveal just that: President Obama was well aware of what was going on and how the bureau was handling the investigation. They were obtained this week as part of the Justice Department’s ongoing review of the case against Flynn and according to Powell they were turned over to her for review.
Powell was stunned at the extent of the notes and told this reporter that they are just another piece of the puzzle that proves Flynn’s innocence.
It’s very apparent from Strzok’s notes that Biden mentioned the “Logan Act” to the people who attended the meeting on Jan. 4, in the Oval Office. The discussion centered completely around Flynn. From the notes, it’s not clear what exactly Biden said about the antiquated 1799 law, but Powell believes he was the one to raise the idea.
Also, it was the same law that David Ignatius mentioned in his column regarding Flynn that set off the public investigation of the three-star general. The meeting, which was attended by President Barack Obama, then-FBI Director James Comey, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, and national security adviser Susan Rice was just days before the inauguration and just a day before Strzok made the decision to keep the case opened against Flynn. Earlier on Jan. 4, an FBI memo cleared Flynn, stating the bureau could find no derogatory information on Flynn, nor anyone he was in contact with in his past. Strzok put the “Logan Act” in quotes next to Biden’s VP signifier.
Here is the transcription of former FBI agent Peter Stork’s notes regarding General Flynn. It was a conversation that likely took place at the White House on January 4, 2017, with then-National Security Advisor Susan Rice, former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, Comey, Biden, and of course, President Obama.
Here’s the notes
NSA-D-DAG (Rice, Comey, Yates): Flynn cuts. `Other countries
D-DAG (Comey, Yates): Lean forward on unless
VP (Joe Biden): “Logan Act”
P (Obama) : These are unusual times
VP (Biden) : I’ve been on the intel committee for ten years and I never
P (Obama): Make sure you look over things and have the right people on it
P (Obama): Is there anything I shouldn’t be telling the transition team?
D (Comey): Flynn -> Kislyak calls but appear legit
Apple – Happy New Year. Yeah right.

Wang Zhaolin, a spokesman for Prestige Biotech, told the San Joaquin Valley Sun that the mice “were genetically engineered to catch and carry the Covid-19 virus,” the newspaper reported.

The investigation began in April after a garden hose was illegally attached to the back of the building. Biological agents from the building were destroyed July 7 following a legal abatement process by the Fresno County Public Health Department.
Foreign Desk News reports:
According to reports, the tenant of the illegal lab was Prestige BioTech; a company registered in Nevada and unlicensed for business in California. City officials spoke with the company’s President, Xiuquin Yao, who told officials that Prestige BioTech transferred assets belonging to a defunct company, Universal Meditech Inc. (UMI), to the Reedley warehouse from Fresno after UMI went bankrupt.
Another official from the company, Wang Zhaolin, told investigators the mice were genetically engineered to catch and spread the COVID-19 virus.
The lab had “around 30 refrigerators, operational and non-operational freezers, incubators, and medical testing supplies. Upon searching the building, officials found 800 different chemicals and have yet to identify all of them.”

I don ’ t mind , ” he said .
“ But if he ’ d like to learn something about the substance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to stop acting like Senator Scott hardly exists and learn from the expert who wrote the bill.
” Sen. Scott recognized the issues Senate Democrats had with the bill and later offered an amendment to include every one of their concerns .
“ We received a letter from Senator Schumer , saying there were five things about the Justice Act that did not meet their principles .

This is one of the most embarrassing and self-destructive things I've seen a news outlet do.

The group is considered to be “ Special Interest @ @ @ @ @ of Homeland Security because of their home country ’ s terrorism prevalence .
“ Agents @ @ @ @ @ individuals from countries all throughout the world , ” said Del Rio Sector Acting Chief @ @ @ @ @ , Jr .
He added , “ The vigilance , diligence , and dedication to @ @ @ @ @ on a daily basis is second to none .

Earlier this week, the United States Navy announced 3,000 sailors and Marines arrived in the Middle East after the Pentagon requested more troops. The plea came after the Islamic Republic of Iran attempted to seize commercial ships in U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) areas.
According to reports from CENTCOM, the U.S. government plans on sending troops from the Bataan Amphibious Ready Group (ARG) and 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) to the Middle East.
Foreign Desk News reports that “In the past few months, the Islamic Republic of Iran has continued to harass American, Israeli, and Saudi commercial ships, stoking chaos and tensions in one of the world’s most critical trade routes.”
“Sending the Marines is a good move on Biden’s part, but the question is whether he’ll learn the lessons,” said Michael Rubin, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI).
“First, rogue regimes like Iran and American partners in the region respect strength, not State Department statements,” he added.
In a statement, CENTCOM announced that the amphibious assault ship “USS Bataan (LHD 50) and dock landing ship USS Carter Hall (LSD 50) entered the Red Sea after transiting from the Mediterranean Sea through the Suez Canal. Bataan ARG/26th MEU units bring to the region additional aviation and naval assets, as well as more U.S. Marines and sailors, providing greater flexibility and maritime capability to U.S. 5th Fleet.”
The statement went on to say that the amphibious assault ship can “carry more than two dozen rotary-wing and fixed-wing aircraft, including MV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft and AV-8B Harrier attack jets in addition to several amphibious landing craft.”
CENTCOM also noted that a dock landing ship “also supports operations for various rotary-wing aircraft, tactical vehicles, and amphibious landing craft.
