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.

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.

Sara Carter: The left reacted ‘despicably’ to Trump’s COVID diagnosis, ‘I hope it wakes up America’ in November

On Fox News ’ “ The Next Revolution ” Sunday night , Sara A. Carter explained the “ despicable ” politicization of the COVID-19 virus and how it ’ s only grown worse with President Donald Trump ’ s diagnosis last week .
“ The virus doesn ’ t care whether you ’ re Republican , Democrat , ” Carter told host Steve Hilton .
“ No matter where you ’ re from , no matter what religion you have it crosses all barriers .
It ’ s a global pandemic .
It targets everyone.
” Carter said that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ upcoming election all the more crucial .
Ultimately , it ’ s a decision between America and Socialism , she said .
“ I hope it wakes up America .
This is why voting this November is so important .
This is why getting to the polls is so important , ” Carter explained .
“ This is why our men and women have fought to protect this nation so that we don ’ t end up a nation like other places we ’ ve seen around the world where we ’ re @ @ @ @ @ @ @ And this kind of public behavior , this shaming behavior , or virtue signaling behavior…is absolutely wrong.
” “ The President of the United States , just like Governor Northam , deserves the best care , they deserve to get better , and we as a nation should back the people in our own country and push forward to find a cure for this deadly virus .
”

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.

saraacater--2020-10-07--‘Declassify All’: Trump greenlights release of all Russia collusion and Clinton email investigations

‘Declassify All’: Trump greenlights release of all Russia collusion and Clinton email investigations docs

‘ I have fully authorized the total Declassification of any & all documents , ’ President Trump tweeted on Tuesday @ @ @ @ @ documents related to the Russia investigation and the FBI ’ s investigation into former Secretary @ @ @ @ @ s use of a private email server .
The information , first made public by @ @ @ @ @ and the documents obtained by SaraACarter.com confirm that Ratcliffe received the information from the highest @ @ @ @ @ community .
“ I have fully authorized the total Declassification of any & all documents @ @ @ @ @ political CRIME in American History , the Russia Hoax .
Likewise , the Hillary Clinton @ @ @ @ @ !
” reads Trump ’ s tweet .
President Trump ’ s decision comes immediately @ @ @ @ @ Intelligence John Ratcliffe declassified documents that showed that former CIA Director John Brennan had briefed @ @ @ @ @ Clinton ’ s alleged “ plan ” to set up a distruction from the FBI @ @ @ @ @ a private email server for official purpose .

A suspected al Qaeda terrorist – wanted by U.S. federal law enforcement and intelligence officials – was captured on the streets of San Jose, Costa Rica Wednesday by one of the nation’s anti-terrorism units, according to sources and news reports from the region.
In June, SaraACarter.com first reported that DHS officials had issued a Be On the Lookout alert (BOLO), for “Mohamed Shaker MOHAMED ABDELAAL.” Shaker, who is associated with the Al-Nusrah terrorist group, was attempting to enter the United States through the Southern border with Mexico, according to information obtained by intelligence officials and foreign intelligence agencies.
Costa Rican authorities announced this week that they intercepted Shaker on Wednesday, “as he walked the streets of the capital,” according to the report.
“Shaker had been under surveillance by the Anti-Terrorism Unit of the Intelligence and Security Directorate (DIS) after Costa Rica received an international alert about him. DIS coordinated with the Professional Migration Police and San José Municipal Police to apprehend Shaker downtown,” according to a news report from Costa Rica.
A former U.S. intelligence official, with knowledge of al Qaeda and other terrorist affiliated groups, told SaraACarter.com that the southern border has become a “magnet for entrance into the U.S. by terrorists, as well as other criminals but he is just one example of serious the porous southern border really is when terrorists direct plans are to fly into a Central American country and move across by foot.”
“How many more have already crossed illegally is unknown,” the former U.S. intelligence official added.
U.S. authorities became aware several months ago that Shaker, who is a suspected terrorist and on a “no fly list” had made his way through Panama. The information obtained by U.S. authorities also suggested that he had planned to enter through the southwest border, according to a documents obtained by saraacarter.com.
The BOLO national security threat/no fly alert said “Mohamed Shaker MOHAMED ABDELAAL”, poses a “imminent threat to national security.” According to the alert Mohamed Shaker is from Egypt and was identified by sources in Panama, according to officials and the BOLO alert.
Several months ago, a DHS source, with knowledge of the incident, who spoke on condition of anonymity said, “The border has gotten so bad that we just don’t know what is getting in. We have had terrorist facilitators, guerrillas, hard corp gang members and who knows what coming in.”
“They must feel pretty comfortable with the state of the border if they are risking coming in. The numbers of military age “asylum seekers” coming in is enough to overwhelm law enforcement resources. We are in for a rough future if this doesn’t stop,” he added. The dhs source who spoke on background stated that the BOLO alert has been issued to local and state authorities.
According to CBP.gov, there was total of 380 terrorists who attempted to cross illegally into the United States at both the southern and northern border in 2022. This year the U.S. has already encountered 295 known terrorists entering the country illegally and there is still 6 months left in the year. This puts the United States at great risk of a National Security threat.

saraacater--2020-10-06--Brennan briefed Obama on HRC’s alleged plan to ‘stir up’ trouble for Trump, DNI reveals

It was former CIA Director John Brennan ’ s hand written notes that exposed the alleged plan by Hillary Clinton to ‘ stir up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security service.
’ Those highly classified notes were declassified Tuesday by Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe , who first made the information public last week .
The controversy surrounding the disclosure by Ratcliffe led to the decision to present Brennan ’ s highly redacted notes to the public .
The information , first made public by Fox News , Tuesday , and the documents obtained by SaraACarter.com confirm that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ levels of the U.S. intelligence community .
In fact , Brennan ’ s notes also reveal how seriously he took the issue that he debriefed former President Barrack Obama on the alleged Clinton plot and on the information that was intercepted by the United States from Russian spies .
“ We ’ re getting additional insight into Russian activities from [ REDACTED ] , ” Brennan ’ s notes read .
“ CITE [ summarizing ] alleged approved by Hillary Clinton a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisers to vilify Donald @ @ @ @ @ @ @ interference by the Russian security service , ” Brennan ’ s notes read .
The notes were supposedly taken after Brennan briefed the Obama administration on Trump ’ s now-debunked ties with Russia .
One major question is how did DNI Ratcliffe get these notes ?
Did Brennan turn them over to John Durham , who was appointed by Attorney General William Barr to investigate the alleged corruption inside Obama ’ s FBI and intelligence community .
Remember , Durham ’ s already interviewed Brennan .

Sen. Blackburn: McCabe is ‘beginning to do a little shaking in his boots…fearful of perjuring himself.’

Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn said the American people deserve to know the truth about the FBI ’ s unscrupulous investigation into President Donald Trump ’ s campaign and his presidency .
Blackburn , a Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee , said the answers to what really happened during the investigation and those senior bureau officials involved may reside with former Deputy Directory Andrew McCabe .
McCabe , who is now an analyst on CNN , was fired by former Attorney General Jeff Sessions in 2018 for lying multiple times to DOJ investigators .
He is now refusing a subpoena @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fear of COVID-19 .
“ I think [ McCabe ’ s ] beginning to do a little shaking in his boots , ” Blackburn said .
“ He is fearful of saying something and then perjuring himself , and he knows that Durham report is coming very soon.
” RELATED : Former FBI Deputy Director McCabe outed by agents , revealing Flynn investigation was a concocted ‘ top down ’ operation The Senate Judiciary Committee had to delay the hearing with McCabe last week , after he refused to testify .
Chairman Lindsey @ @ @ @ @ @ @ among a long list of others to testify before the Nov. 3 election .
Blackburn pointed out that McCabe ’ s refusal to speak to the Senate Judiciary members is revealing considering former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein , former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates and most recently former FBI Director James Comey was willing to testify .
She said , even though they failed to remember significant details because “ they all were like , Hear No Evil , see , See No Evil ” it was McCabe who may have the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the bureau because he was connected to all the players .
Blackburn pointed out that she didn ’ t buy the excuses of those who testified that they couldn ’ t either remember anything or were unaware of certain circumstances .
For example , she told me , former FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok , who was charged with the Russia investigation and also testified before the committee , “ writes in his book , that he briefed Comey on what they were doing.
” “ Here ’ s the thing , somebody @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said , referring the attempt to coup President Trump by propagating lies in the media and then a concocted FBI investigation into Trump ’ s campaign and presidency .
“ Somebody gave the order to carry it out , and somebody did the dirty work , ” said Blackburn .
“ And if you ’ ve got the top three saying , we didn ’ t know anything was going on , and Strzok saying we were out here doing this , that and the other .
Well , McCabe has to know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us he would be under oath.

In the spring, Congress passed an initial $2.2-trillion package but, for months, the next COVID-19 economic stimulus package has been stalled, due to both sides of the aisle not budging on an array of issues, most notably the package’s price tag. The GOP wanted a $1.6-trillion plan.
https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1313551794623127552
In the four-tweet thread, the President rejected the Democrats’ plan and said that he has directed his “representatives to stop negotiating until after the election,” adding, “immediately after I win, we will pass a major Stimulus Bill that focuses on hardworking Americans and Small Business.
“I have asked […] Mitch McConnell not to delay, but to instead focus full time on approving my outstanding nominee to the United States Supreme Court, Amy Coney Barrett,” Trump continued.
Further clarifying his reasoning for halting the stimulus talks, Trump accused Pelosi of wanting $2.4 trillion “to bailout poorly run, high crime, Democrat States,” and that the money “is in no way related to COVID-19.”
This follows the Democrats in the House of Representatives passing the relief package last week that included provisions which would allow certain undocumented immigrants who are “engaged in essential critical infrastructure labor or services in the United States” and would be put into “a period of deferred action” and authorized to work if they meet specific criteria.
With less than 30 days until Election Day and two GOP members of the Senate Judiciary Committee quarantining due to contracting COVID-19, President Trump looks to be refocusing his campaign strategy. Moreover, his positive diagnosis for the novel Coronavirus last Thursday means he’s not been as active as he has been on the campaign trail. Still, Republicans are chugging full steam ahead to ensure that Judge Amy Coney Barrett is confirmed to the Supreme Court before the election, which has been a top priority for the President.
While the economy has been recovering over the past few months as many states and localities slowly reopen, 12.6 million Americans remain unemployed, according to the U.S. Department of Labor and Bureau Statistics, following the initial layoffs and furloughs at the beginning of the pandemic and the U.S. death toll continues to rise past 210,000.

While she presented Biden as the best candidate for the job , she took aim at President Donald Trump for creating division in the country and suggested he lied about riots in the country .
“ They ’ re stoking fears about Black and Brown Americans , lying about how minorities will destroy the suburbs , whipping up violence and intimidation , and they ’ re pinning it all on what ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ racial solidarity , ” Michelle Obama said .
She added , “ It ’ s true .
Research backs it up .
Only a tiny fraction of demonstrations have had any violence at all .
So what the President is doing is once again patently false , it ’ s morally wrong , and , yes , it is racist.
” Michelle also took aim at Trump for his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic in her video and a series of subsequent tweets .

saraacater--2020-10-06--Biden -a professed Catholic- promises to make abortion ‘law of the land’ if he’s elected

Former Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has promised to make Roe Vs. Wade , the landmark Supreme Court decision to legalize abortion , the “ law of the land ” if elected .
He made the remarks Monday during the ” NBC Joe Biden Town Hall ‘ after being asked by a young woman if he would fight to keep Roe vs. Wade a right for women .
The question was raised because of the Supreme Court nomination by President Donald Trump of Justice Amy Coney Barrett , who is Catholic like Biden , but has openly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right to life .
Remember last November , when a priest in South Carolina denied Biden his Holy Communion because of his public support of abortion .
It was the policy of the bishop in South Carolina but abortion is also opposed by the Catholic Church in general .
Biden , however , isn ’ t letting his Catholic background or beliefs get in the way of his future plans to become a Democratic president .
At the town hall in Miami , he promised that if the historic ruling on abortion is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his only “ response to that is pass legislation making Roe the law of the land .
That ’ s what I would do.
” It wasn ’ t clear at all how he would do make it a law .
But like almost everything , Biden has also refused to answer whether or not he would pack the Supreme Court if elected .
This appears to be the strategy , considering the Democrats view the Supreme Court and the Justice system as a way of legislating from the bench .

”

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.

Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Penn.) and former Gov. Ed Rendell (D-Penn.) co-authored an op-ed calling for the introduction of a constitutional amendment to set term limits for members of Congress.
“Our elected representatives seem afraid to do anything that would jeopardize their reelection,” the bipartisan Pennsylvanian duo argued. “Term limits allow them to operate without that pressure, secure in the knowledge that they are not risking the position that could be a lifetime career. They would be able to cast votes knowing that the risk they are taking would not jeopardize their entire future.”
New from @GovEdRendell and me for the @PhillyInquirer: 79% of Pennsylvanians support term limits. Term limits would allow members of Congress to operate knowing that they can take risks without jeopardizing a potential lifetime career. https://t.co/lXq6uAGrwK — Senator Pat Toomey (@SenToomey) October 6, 2020

With Senate Republicans going all-in on appointing Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court before November 3, there’s likely no room on the agenda for term limits in the near future.

The group of stars are joining that effort and in this new video are @ @ @ @ @ send in their ballots with many Americans voting by mail amid the COVID-19 pandemic .

The war on drugs being fought on a daily basis at our borders has been able to be quantified with human lives. The Center Square reports that U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials alone have seized enough lethal drugs this fiscal year through June to kill more than 6.4 billion people.
If that number is a bit too hard to comprehend, here is another: The amounts of lethal doses they’ve seized of fentanyl, methamphetamine and cocaine are enough to kill the U.S. population 19 times. The agents have confiscated 22,000 pounds of fentanyl at ports of entry nationwide, seized 175,000 pounds of methamphetamine and over 70,000 pounds of cocaine. These amounts are greater than what was seized in all of fiscal 2022.
The Center Square notes that these seizures reported exclude additional ones made by state and other federal agencies:
In Texas, for example, over 422 million lethal doses of fentanyl have been seized through its border security mission Operation Lone Star.
In Arizona, one multiagency effort resulted the seizure of enough illicit drugs, including fentanyl, to kill over 40 million people.
In one single carload bust in Los Angeles, authorities seized enough fentanyl to kill over 600,000 people.
In Florida, one multiagency bust seized enough fentanyl to kill the state’s entire population, and that was after a previous bust that seized enough to kill half the state’s population.
Last year, DEA agents seized over 58 million fake prescription pills laced with fentanyl, and 13,000 pounds of fentanyl powder in 2022, “enough fentanyl to supply a potentially lethal dose to every member of the U.S. population. These seizures occurred in every state in the country.”
