Barr Reveals Separate Probe Into Flynn Unmasking, But Sources Worry Americans Will Be Left In The Dark If Investigations Are Kept Secret Until After Election

Department of Justice Attorney General William Barr revealed during Tuesday ’ s House Judiciary Committee hearing that there is a separate investigation into the questionable unmasking of former national security advisor Michael Flynn being headed by an outside U.S. Attorney .
This investigation is separate but in conjunction with another investigation being headed by U.S. Attorney John Durham into the origination of the FBI ’ s now-debunked case that President Donald Trump ’ s campaign colluded with Russia .
But sources familiar and vested in Barr ’ s investigation say there is serious concern as to whether or not the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into the Flynn unmasking and the origin of the FBI ’ s probe into before the November election .
Durham ’ s investigation has been ongoing for more than a year and he has yet to indict any suspects or issue a full report .
Barr did not state whether or not the results of those investigations would be released prior to the November elections but did reiterate to lawmakers that he was aware of the Justice Department rules to not release information that may interfere in an election .
“ The American @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be no games here , what-so-ever , ” said a former senior Intelligence official , who is aware of the ongoing circumstances with the issues being investigated .
“ Democrats , as well as some Rhino anti-Trump Republicans will push against any report being published before November but that is unacceptable .
The Trump administration has spent four years being tarnished and the American people divided.
” “ People need the truth and they need it now , ” stated the official , who spoke on background due to the continued nature of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that with regard to Flynn , he appointed U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas John Bash .
He wants Bash to investigate the numerous unmasking requests made by former Obama administration officials into Flynn .
The retired three star general ’ s name and the contents of a top secret conversations in December , 2016 with former Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak were leaked to The Washington Post .
Columnist David Ignatius said in his column that multiple U.S. officials had verified that Flynn had spoken to Kislyak and that those conversations @ @ @ @ @ @ @ taken on Russia .
Barr said that Bash ’ s probe of the Flynn leak will be independent of the criminal probe being conducted by Durham .
“ A number of people , including former special agent ( Peter ) Strzok and ( Joe ) Pientka have been interviewed by Durham , ” said a source familiar with with Durham ’ s ongoing probe .
“ The investigation is certain to bring indictments but how many and who is certainly not being verified by anyone inside the DOJ but If I was ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ d be very concerned.
” Barr told the panel of lawmakers about Bash after being asked by ranking Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan .
Under questioning , Barr said he ’ s “ asked another U.S. attorney to look into the issue of unmasking because of the high number of unmaskings and some that do not readily appear in the line of normal business.
” The numerous unmaskings conducted by the Obama administration were first reported by this reporter and journalist John Solomon three years ago for then Circa News , with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as explained in a column in 2017 by Fox News contributor and prosecutor Andrew McCarthy FISA “ surveillance is more controversial than criminal surveillance because the government does not have to show probable cause of a crime — and when the targets are foreigners outside the U.S. , the government does not have to make any showing ; it may target if it has a legitimate foreign-intelligence purpose , which is really not much of a hurdle at all.

Nunes recently told Fox News that Republicans have “ been running our own investigation , House Republicans have , for three and a half years and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ referrals.
” Nunes also noted that very few media outlets investigated the issue or addressed the malfeasance with Obama DOJ or the issues that led to the hundreds of unmaskings .
Rep. Jerry Nadler , the chairman of the committee , went after Barr during the hearing saying he “ aided and abetted the worst failings ” of Trump .
Barr told Nadler that he was not and that he was “ independent ” of Trump .

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.

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.


saraacater--2020-07-28--Valerie Jarrett On Fake Dossier And Russia Probe: It ‘was four years ago’ Let’s Move On

A former top senior advisor and loyalist to President Barack Obama told Fox News Business host Maria Bartiromo Tuesday that the FBI ’ s false investigation into President Donald Trump ’ s 2016 campaign and that it conspired with Russia is old news and “ why our focus isn ’ t what ’ s happening right now.
” This stunning statement came from Obama ’ s most loyal advisor Valerie Jarrett , who also stated that the investigators in the Trump Russia investigation behaved appropriately , despite a plethora of evidence suggesting otherwise .
Baritromo asked Jarrett , if former @ @ @ @ @ @ @ British spy Christopher Steele ’ s dossier was garbage but he continued to renew warrants to spy on Carter Page , a member of the 2016 Trump campaign , shouldn ’ t he be prosecuted .
According to several government officials who spoke to SaraACarter.comm Comey is a central figure being investigated by the Justice Department ’ s criminal probe being headed by Connecticut prosecutor John Durham , who was appointed by Attorney General William Barr .
“ Well , Maria look I have highly great confidence that our intelligence community , investigators @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This “ was nearly four years ago and I don ’ t understand why our focus isn ’ t on what ’ s happening right now , ” Jarrett added .
Durham ’ s secret investigation is ongoing and is now a full scale criminal probe into the actions of Obama administration and FBI officials involved .
Jarrett ’ s comments are infuriating as she , along with so many others in the Obama administration , act as though there is a two tiered justice system .
The probe into Trump and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and put the nation ’ s security at risk .
Yet , it appears that those involved in the illegal investigation operate with impunity and unless Durham brings indictments and exposes the full scale of what happened to the Trump administration it could happen again .
The malfeasance was widespread in the FBI and now evidence suggested that the most senior members of Obama ’ s administration were aware that there was no evidence to suggest members of the Trump campaign conspired with Russia .
However , it didn ’ t stop the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump ’ s presidency- from continuing their illegal investigation into the President and his team .
Those officials weaponized the intelligence and federal law enforcement apparatus for political purposes .
It should never be allowed to happen again .
The investigation was illegal .
Just look at the evidence discovered by investigators and DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz with regard to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Application warrant submitted to the secret court by the FBI .
FBI special agent Kevin Clinesmith , along with others , omitted exculpatory information and inserted flat out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who was a short term volunteer .
The same apparent bureau corruption existed in the FBI ’ s investigation into former Trump national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn .
Flynn was strong armed into pleading guilty and has since dropped his plea .
The DOJ is also asking for his case to be thrown out of court .
After nearly three years , it was discovered that there was absolutely no derogatory information on Flynn , or those he communicated with , or that he was conspiring with Russia .
In fact @ @ @ @ @ @ @ highest level of security clearance and should have never been investigated .
It took roughly four years of investigations by Congress , the Department of Justice , the DOJ ’ s Inspector General and journalists to unearth mountains of evidence showing Obama ’ s senior FBI , State Department and Justice officials were complicit in what appeared to be an attempt to hijack the election and then remove President Trump from office .
Those investigating the FBI ’ s malfeasance have stated that senior members of the Obama administration should be investigated as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will issue a report or indict people connected to the Trump probe before the November presidential election .
Jarrett may want us to forget what happened four years ago but that will never be the case .
Why ?
Because for the past four years our nation has been reeling from the corruption initiated by the Obama administration and those who were aware of it need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law .
We can ’ t forget what happened .
Our nation ’ s fundamental principals are at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ held accountable our nation will fundamentally change forever and the corrupted bureaucrats will win .
Sorry Jarrett , we can not afford a two-tiered justice system .

saraacater--2020-07-28--UPDATE: Controversy Erupts Over Doctor’s Hydroxychloroquine Claims

UPDATE : Other media outlets are covering this story and reporting on discrepancies with Dr. Immanuel ’ s past medical claims .
For example , the Daily Beast reports , “ She has often claimed that gynecological problems like cysts and endometriosis are in fact caused by people having sex in their dreams with demons and witches .
She alleges alien DNA is currently used in medical treatments , and that scientists are cooking up a vaccine to prevent people from being religious.
” This reporter has reached out to Dr. Immanuel for comment on her claims and practice .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ is a response .
A primary care physician in Houston , Texas , Dr. Stella Immanuel , spoke in front of the steps of the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington , D.C. on Monday , sharing her experience treating patients infected with the novel coronavirus , saying she ’ s not lost one and attributes that to the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine .
“ I actually went to medical school in West Africa , in Nigeria where I took care of malaria patients , treated them with hydroxychloroquine and stuff like that , so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ medications , ” Dr. Immanuel said .
“ I ’ m here because I have personally treated over 350 patients with COVID .
Patients that have diabetes , patients that have high blood pressure , patients that have asthma , all people .
I think my oldest patient is 92 , 87-year-olds .
And the result has been the same : put them on hydroxychloroquine , I put them on zinc , I put them on Zithromax , and they are all well.
” She continued , “ For the past few months @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over 350 patients .
We ’ ve not lost one .
Not a diabetic , not somebody with high blood pressure , not somebody with asthma , not an old person .
We ’ eve not lost one patient .
And , on top of that , I ’ ve put myself , my staff , and many doctors that I know on hydroxychloroquine for prevention because by the very mechanism of action , it works early… ” Dr. Immanuel ’ s practice treats 10-15 COVID patients each day , typically giving them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doctors , only wearing surgical masks , have avoided contracting the virus with the proactive measures of taking hydroxychloroquine for prevention .
Citing the National Institute of Health studies showing the success of hydroxychloroquine in treating COVID patients and one specifically used to treat a patient suffering from hiccups , an apparent symptom of the disease , the Doctor explained , “ So if the NIH knows that treating the patient with hydroxychloroquine proves that hiccup is a symptom of COVID , then they definitely know that hydroxychloroquine works .
I ’ m @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is that I see people that can not breathe , I see patients walk in , I see diabetics walks in my office knowing that this is a death sentence and they can ’ t breathe and I hug them and I tell them ‘ It ’ s gon na be ok , you ’ re gon na live.
’ And we treat them and they live , none has died.
” “ So , if some fake science , some person sponsored by all these fake pharma companies , say ‘ oh @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we ’ ve found out that it doesn ’ t work , ’ I can tell you categorically it ’ s fake science .
I want to know who is sponsoring that study , I want to know who is behind it because there is no way I can treat 350 patients and counting and nobody is dead , and they all did better and you ’ re gon na tell me that you treated 20 people , 40 people and it didn ’ t work.
” Dr. Immanuel was speaking alongside frontline @ @ @ @ @ @ @ week hosted the Tea Party Patriots on debunking myths about the COVID-19 pandemic .
“ I ’ m a true testament , ” she added , “ So I came here to Washington , D.C. to tell America , nobody needs to get sick .
This virus has a cure , it ’ s called hydroxychloroquine , zinc , and Zithromax… you don ’ t need masks , there is a cure .
I know they don ’ t want to open schools .
No , you don ’ t need people to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and there is a cure.
” Criticizing ‘ fake doctors , ’ using CNN ’ s Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta as one example , that are unconvinced by or against the use of hydroxychloroquine in treating COVID patients and want “ double-blind studies , ” Dr. Immanuel asked , “ have you ever seen a COVID patient ?
Have you ever treated anybody with hydroxychloroquine and they died from heart disease ?
” “ When you do , come and talk to me because I sit down in my clinic every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in everyday scared to death .
I see people driving two , three hours to my clinic because some ER doctor is scared….. of something and they will not prescribe this medication to these people.
” “ I tell all of you doctors that are sitting down and watching Americans die , you ’ re like the good Germans that watched Jews get killed and you not speak up .
If they come after me , they threaten me , I mean I ’ ve gotten all kinds of threats , or they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the boards .
I say , you know what , I don ’ t care , I ’ m not gon na let Americans die .
And , if this is the hill where I will get nailed on , I will get nailed on it , I don ’ t care .
You can report me to the boards , you can kill me , you can do whatever , but I ’ m not gon na let Americans die .

Citing the National Institute of Health studies showing the success of hydroxychloroquine in treating COVID patients and one specifically used to treat a patient suffering from hiccups, an apparent symptom of the disease, the Doctor explained, “So if the NIH knows that treating the patient with hydroxychloroquine proves that hiccup is a symptom of COVID, then they definitely know that hydroxychloroquine works. I’m upset. Why I’m upset is that I see people that cannot breathe, I see patients walk in, I see diabetics walks in my office knowing that this is a death sentence and they can’t breathe and I hug them and I tell them ‘It’s gonna be ok, you’re gonna live.’ And we treat them and they live, none has died.”
“So, if some fake science, some person sponsored by all these fake pharma companies, say ‘oh, we’ve done studies, we’ve found out that it doesn’t work,’ I can tell you categorically it’s fake science. I want to know who is sponsoring that study, I want to know who is behind it because there is no way I can treat 350 patients and counting and nobody is dead, and they all did better and you’re gonna tell me that you treated 20 people, 40 people and it didn’t work.”
Dr. Immanuel was speaking alongside frontline doctors as part of a conference this week hosted the Tea Party Patriots on debunking myths about the COVID-19 pandemic.
“I’m a true testament,” she added, “So I came here to Washington, D.C. to tell America, nobody needs to get sick. This virus has a cure, it’s called hydroxychloroquine, zinc, and Zithromax… you don’t need masks, there is a cure. I know they don’t want to open schools. No, you don’t need people to be locked down. There is prevention and there is a cure.”
Criticizing ‘fake doctors,’ using CNN’s Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta as one example, that are unconvinced by or against the use of hydroxychloroquine in treating COVID patients and want “double-blind studies,” Dr. Immanuel asked, “have you ever seen a COVID patient? Have you ever treated anybody with hydroxychloroquine and they died from heart disease?”
“When you do, come and talk to me because I sit down in my clinic every day and I see these patients walk in everyday scared to death. I see people driving two, three hours to my clinic because some ER doctor is scared….. of something and they will not prescribe this medication to these people.”
“I tell all of you doctors that are sitting down and watching Americans die, you’re like the good Germans that watched Jews get killed and you not speak up. If they come after me, they threaten me, I mean I’ve gotten all kinds of threats, or they’re gonna report me to the boards. I say, you know what, I don’t care, I’m not gonna let Americans die. And, if this is the hill where I will get nailed on, I will get nailed on it, I don’t care. You can report me to the boards, you can kill me , you can do whatever, but I’m not gonna let Americans die.”


saraacater--2020-07-29--GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy Calls Rep. Gohmert ‘Congressman Covid,’ By Accident

House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy , R-CA , accidentally called Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert “ Congressman COVID.
” Apparently the @ @ @ @ @ or Freudian slip , happened after news broke Wednesday that Gohmert has tested positive for @ @ @ @ @ Washington Examiner was the first to capture the slip up .
It immediately started off @ @ @ @ @ and memes .
Of course , testing positive for the deadly COVID virus shouldn ’ @ @ @ @ @ I ’ m sure Gohmert , who I know to have a good sense of @ @ @ @ @ laugh .

In an unexpected turn of events, the city of Goodhue in southeastern Minnesota finds itself without a police force as the chief and other department members tendered their resignations.
Mayor Ellen Anderson Buck conveyed the city’s determination to move forward despite the setback, assuring the public of continued police coverage.
Mayor Buck emphasized, “I want to reiterate that we will have police coverage in the city of Goodhue. That is not an issue.” Police Chief Josh Smith, who will remain in his position until August 24th, attributed the force’s dissolution to the inability to recruit new officers, according to reports from Fox News.
“This has been three weeks now, we have zero applicants, and I have zero prospects,” Smith disclosed on July 26. “I’ve called every PD around for the youngest guys out there, getting into the game. There’s nobody getting into the game.”
Chris Schmit, a Goodhue City Council member, praised the police force for their commitment to upholding law and order in the city, underscoring their invaluable contribution to the community’s safety. “I can probably speak for everyone when I say that they provided excellent safety and security to our community. And the small-town policing that they did, we want that back.”
Smith bared a stark truth to the Goodhue City Council, unraveling the crux of the department’s recruitment turmoil. The resounding echo of low wages and the unrelenting surge of rivalry from neighboring larger communities reverberated through his words. With an urgency born of necessity, he underscored the imperative for swift and substantial transformation to reorient this daunting trajectory.
In a state that has witnessed significant policing developments, including the George Floyd case, Minneapolis serves as a prominent backdrop. The latest ex-Minneapolis police officer convicted in Floyd’s death received a sentence of four years and nine months on August 7. Prior to his sentencing, Tou Thao, the former officer, shared a personal reflection on his faith journey while incarcerated.
Despite repeated attempts, the Goodhue Police Department, the mayor, and city council members remained unavailable for comments.
This unexpected loss of an entire police force underscores the challenges many smaller communities face in maintaining law enforcement personnel amidst increasing demands and competition from larger urban centers.

At Wednesday ’ s meeting a TwItter representative flatly stated that some of President Donald Trump ’ s Tweets needed to be flagged because it served the public interest but Iran ’ s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei , who has called for the destruction of Israel and the genocide of the Jewish people is acceptable because it reflects “ commentary on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doesn ’ t begin to explain how a Twitter representative could say what they said , with a straight face .

saraacater--2020-07-29--Watch Live: Big Tech Bosses Face Off With Congress. How Much Power Is Too Much Power?

This story is developing and will be updated throughout the day .
If there is an area where some Democrats and Republicans can find some common ground in these divisive days , may be the extraordinary power and reach of big tech companies and social media giants .
On Wednesday , some of the biggest tech giants , to include Facebook ’ s Mark Zuckerberg ; Amazon ’ s Jeff Bezos ; and Google ’ s Sudar Pichai are squaring off with members of Congress in a highly anticipated antitrust subcommittee hearing .
Their testimony is crucial .
And they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have to keep opponents in both political parties satisfied .
The stakes are high , as members of Congress and the public have become more concerned about civil liberties and the partisan behavior of companies that once promised to be platforms for free thought .
Chairman David Cicilline , a Rhode Island Democrat , has been leading an investigation into the tech giants for more than a year .
He said “ any single action by one of these companies can affect hundreds of millions of us in profound and lasting ways…Simply put @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cicilline made that comment in his opening statement and as the hearing goes on it ’ s easy to gauge why as the powerful tech bosses discuss the extensive role their companies now play in the lives of everyday Americans , from food delivery , medical necessities , as well as privacy issues that are cause for concern with modern technologies .

In a recent development, the Tate brothers, Andrew and Tristan, along with two associates, find themselves at the center of a high-profile case involving human trafficking allegations.
The charges leveled against them indicate the formation of an organized criminal group in 2021 with the intent to carry out human trafficking operations not only in Romania but also in the United States and the United Kingdom, according to the BBC.
The investigation, which led to their arrest in December last year, has culminated in an indictment filed with the Bucharest court. According to the indictment, the Tate brothers are accused of luring their victims with false promises of love and marriage. Seven individuals have been identified as alleged victims, who were later coerced and subjected to a harrowing ordeal.
Prosecutors contend that the victims were taken to locations in Ilfov county, Romania, where they faced constant surveillance, intimidation, and control. The defendants allegedly forced the victims into debt and coerced them into participating in pornographic activities, with the explicit material subsequently shared on social media platforms. Shockingly, one of the defendants is accused of raping a woman on two occasions in March 2022, further amplifying the gravity of the charges.
While the trial is not expected to commence immediately, as a Romanian judge is granted 60 days to inspect the case files, it is anticipated to be a protracted legal battle. The complexity of the case and the severity of the charges will undoubtedly result in a lengthy trial process, with several years potentially passing before a verdict is reached.
Representatives for the Tate brothers released a statement acknowledging the unsurprising nature of the news but maintaining their belief in their innocence.
As reported by the BBC, the Tate brothers media team stared, “While this news is undoubtedly predictable, we embrace the opportunity it presents to demonstrate their innocence and vindicate their reputation.”
They expressed their eagerness to present a comprehensive body of evidence meticulously collected over time, which they believe will substantiate their claims of innocence and restore their tarnished reputation.
However, it should be noted that additional charges, such as money laundering and trafficking of minors, are still under investigation. If evidence is uncovered to support these allegations, a separate indictment could be filed, further complicating the legal proceedings for the defendants.
Andrew Tate, who gained notoriety through his participation in the reality television show Big Brother, has a controversial past, having been removed from the show in 2016 following a video that appeared to depict him assaulting a woman.
Despite subsequent bans on social media platforms due to his contentious statements, he has managed to amass a following, particularly among young men, by promoting an ostentatious and hyper-masculine lifestyle.
As the case unfolds, public attention will undoubtedly be drawn to the trial, with many eagerly awaiting the outcome and hoping for justice to be served for the alleged victims. The complex web of charges and the high-profile nature of the defendants ensure that this trial will be closely monitored and scrutinized by the media and the public alike.

Warning: ‘Chinese weapons labs…can’t master concept of safety’ As Intel Surfaces That Pakistan & China Signed Secret BioWarfare Deal

Pakistan and China have allegedly entered a three year bio-warfare agreement to cooperate on projects associated with the deadly anthrax agent , as well as other dangerous viruses , according to an exclusive report written by The Klaxon .
U.S. intelligence officials and analysts are warning that the United States can not afford to ignore the information and the danger this secret deal poses to the world .
I may not have noticed the Klaxon report if it weren ’ t for Gordon Chang , an expert on China and someone I follow religiously when it comes to news in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on Tuesday , which was written by Anthony Klan , an investigative reporter from Australia .
And Chang , along with other intelligence officials I ’ ve spoken with , warn that the deal made with Pakistan poses significant dangers to accidental contamination leaks , along with rising concerns as to what the two nuclear powers may be planning .
“ It ’ s no wonder China wants to outsource its dangerous bioweapons research to Pakistan , ” Gordon Chang told me Wednesday .
“ Chinese weapons labs , over the course of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ concept of safety.
” “ The failure to contain pathogens has had consequences , ” Chang added .
“ From Russian sources , we have learned there were two epidemics of hemorrhagic fever in the late 1980s in a part of China where these diseases were previously unknown but which did host a biological weapons facility.
” It ’ s not surprising that Chang would be monitoring stories from all over the world because he has become extremely vocal about the dangerous expansion and global reach of Beijing and a staunch ally of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ communist China ’ s tyranny .
In fact , Chang , who has lived in China , recently posted warnings about news reports that tend to downplay Beijing ’ s role in covering up its enormous failures to warn the world of the novel Coronavirus epidemic during the onslaught of the outbreak in Wuhan in 2019 .
For example Chang said , “ the SARS epidemic beginning in 2002 probably had a natural origin but could have been fueled by subsequent lab leaks .
He pointed out that “ the world ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wuhan Institute of Virology , which had been engineering coronaviruses to make them more virulent .
The Institute is more than a thousand miles from where the closest strain of the virus was found in a natural environment , a cave full of bats.
” “ If you are a Chinese leader today , you too would want your dangerous research conducted on the other side of the Himalayas , ” said Chang .
“ After all , with the coronavirus still spreading around China , you probably would not want to deal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time.
” From The Klaxon , an investigative online news agency that reports on intelligence matters and business malfeasance out of Australia : In the wake of the Coronavirus outbreak on Chinese soil , China ’ s now infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology has signed the covert deal with Pakistan military ’ s Defense Science and Technology Organization ( DESTO ) , to collaborate research in “ emerging infectious diseases ” and advance studies on the biological control of transmitted diseases .
According to highly credible intelligence sources , the program is being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ titled the “ Collaboration for Emerging Infectious Diseases and Studies on Biological Control of Vector Transmitting Diseases ” .
Intelligence sources , including from the Indian subcontinent , have told The Klaxon they have serious concerns about the secret project , which involves China testing biological agents outside its borders in an apparent bid to minimize the “ risk of drawing condemnation from the international community ” .
“ DESTO has been engaged in various dual-use research projects related to anthrax under a covert biological weapons program , ” one senior intelligence source @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s Wuhan Institute of Virology had “ lent all financial , material and scientific support for the project ” .
The information reported by The Klaxon shouldn ’ t be ignored .
Think about what ’ s happened to our nation and for that matter , the world since the outbreak of COVID-19 .
There is no doubt that this won ’ t be the last time but imagine a virus far worse than what we ’ re witnessing today .
When the Chinese communist owned Global Times reported that scientists believe that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ do with Wuhan laboratories Chang shot back .
The paper stated because of that President Donald Trump “ owes us an apology as he claimed ” the virus leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology .
“ Okay , but why did # China in February send Major General Chen Wei , the country ’ s top biological weapons expert , to head the P-4 lab at the # Wuhan Institute of Virology ?
To destroy evidence of an illicit program perhaps , ” Chang responded on Twitter .
And U.S. policy makers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ After all , President Xi Jingping ’ s decision to keep COVID-19 secret has torn the world ’ s economy apart , left millions infected and killed an estimated 661,000 people globally .
Imagine what happens if we ignore the possible biowarfare deal between China and Pakistan .
Imagine the threat that a relationship like this could have on the world and the implications for the future .
I ’ ve traveled to Pakistan , have met with Pakistani leaders in the past and have covered stories in that region long enough to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ally of the Pakistani government .
Moreover , Beijing works diligently to cultivate a strong geo-political relationship with Pakistan , and in the process uses that relationship to influence and spy .
on American interests in the region as well .
I ’ ve also covered numerous intelligence matters in Pakistan , and know there have been concerns among U.S. intelligence officials regarding the nation ’ s very modern bio-level laboratories , which are suspected of conducting ‘ covert experiments ’ and could potentially pose a national security threat in the future .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Klaxon , Pakistan and China ’ s efforts are part of a broader offensive against India and Western rivals .
It is .
It always has been .
Whether The Klaxon story is completely accurate remains to be seen .
It has not been independently verified by this reporter .
Either way , there is enough evidence to suggest that China will continue to expand its diplomatic relations with Pakistan by trading and combing its technological , military and political apparatus in South Asia .
It serves China ’ s purpose to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ assist in driving a deeper wedge between the U.S. and its allies in the region .

Gordon Chang is an expert on China and frequently advises the administration on the matter.
“It’s no wonder China wants to outsource its dangerous bioweapons research to Pakistan,” Gordon Chang told me Wednesday. “Chinese weapons labs, over the course of decades, can’t master the concept of safety.”

He pointed out that “the world’s first outbreak of COVID-19 occurred near the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which had been engineering coronaviruses to make them more virulent. The Institute is more than a thousand miles from where the closest strain of the virus was found in a natural environment, a cave full of bats.”
“If you are a Chinese leader today, you too would want your dangerous research conducted on the other side of the Himalayas,” said Chang. “After all, with the coronavirus still spreading around China, you probably would not want to deal with two killer epidemics at the same time.”
From The Klaxon, an investigative online news agency that reports on intelligence matters and business malfeasance out of Australia:
In the wake of the Coronavirus outbreak on Chinese soil, China’s now infamous Wuhan Institute of Virology has signed the covert deal with Pakistan military’s Defense Science and Technology Organization (DESTO), to collaborate research in “emerging infectious diseases” and advance studies on the biological control of transmitted diseases.
According to highly credible intelligence sources, the program is being entirely funded by China and is formally titled the “Collaboration for Emerging Infectious Diseases and Studies on Biological Control of Vector Transmitting Diseases”.
Intelligence sources, including from the Indian subcontinent, have told The Klaxon they have serious concerns about the secret project, which involves China testing biological agents outside its borders in an apparent bid to minimize the “risk of drawing condemnation from the international community”.
“DESTO has been engaged in various dual-use research projects related to anthrax under a covert biological weapons program,” one senior intelligence source said.
The source said China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology had “lent all financial, material and scientific support for the project”.
The information reported by The Klaxon shouldn’t be ignored. Think about what’s happened to our nation and for that matter, the world since the outbreak of COVID-19. There is no doubt that this won’t be the last time but imagine a virus far worse than what we’re witnessing today.
GORDON CHANG HERE
When the Chinese communist owned Global Times reported that scientists believe that SARS-CoV-2 originated naturally and had nothing to do with Wuhan laboratories Chang shot back.
The paper stated because of that President Donald Trump “owes us an apology as he claimed” the virus leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
“Okay, but why did #China in February send Major General Chen Wei, the country’s top biological weapons expert, to head the P-4 lab at the #Wuhan Institute of Virology? To destroy evidence of an illicit program perhaps,” Chang responded on Twitter.
And U.S. policy makers should heed Chang’s warning. After all, President Xi Jingping’s decision to keep COVID-19 secret has torn the world’s economy apart, left millions infected and killed an estimated 661,000 people globally.
Imagine what happens if we ignore the possible biowarfare deal between China and Pakistan.
Imagine the threat that a relationship like this could have on the world and the implications for the future.

I’ve traveled to Pakistan, have met with Pakistani leaders in the past and have covered stories in that region long enough to know that China is a very close ally of the Pakistani government. Moreover, Beijing works diligently to cultivate a strong geo-political relationship with Pakistan, and in the process uses that relationship to influence and spy. on American interests in the region as well.
I’ve also covered numerous intelligence matters in Pakistan, and know there have been concerns among U.S. intelligence officials regarding the nation’s very modern bio-level laboratories, which are suspected of conducting ‘covert experiments’ and could potentially pose a national security threat in the future.
According to intelligence officials that spoke to The Klaxon, Pakistan and China’s efforts are part of a broader offensive against India and Western rivals.
It is. It always has been. Whether The Klaxon story is completely accurate remains to be seen. It has not been independently verified by this reporter.
Either way, there is enough evidence to suggest that China will continue to expand its diplomatic relations with Pakistan by trading and combing its technological, military and political apparatus in South Asia.
It serves China’s purpose to pursue these interests because those interests also assist in driving a deeper wedge between the U.S. and its allies in the region.

Officials found an illegal Chinese biotech laboratory being conducted in a warehouse in Reedley, California. The Chinese medical company Prestige Biotech “was the largest creditor of the now defunct med-tech company Universal Meditech and took control of it following bankruptcy. The Chinese-run company did not have a license to operate in California” reports National Review.
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. Court documents further showed that the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) conducted tests on the more than 800 chemicals found at the site and that over 20 infectious agents were found present, including Hepatitis B and C, streptococcus pneumonia, chlamydia, rubella, and Herpes 1 and 5.
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.”
