Now this…
On Tuesday FOX News reported on Prosecutor Brandon Van Grack’s failure to produce all evidence including favorable evidence on General Flynn to his attorneys.
Via FOX News:
Explosive, newly unsealed evidence documenting the FBI’s efforts to target national security adviser Michael Flynn — including a top official’s handwritten memo debating whether the FBI’s “goal” was “to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired” — calls into question whether Brandon Van Grack, a Justice Department prosecutor and former member of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Team, complied with a court order to produce favorable evidence to Flynn. Since February 2018, Van Grack has been obligated to comply with D.C. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan’s standing order in the Flynn case to produce all evidence in the government’s possession “that is favorable to defendant and material either to defendant’s guilt or punishment.” The order also requires the government to submit favorable defense evidence to the court, including possible “impeachment evidence” that could undermine witnesses, even if the government believes the evidence “not to be material.” What Van Grack didn’t inform the court about – and didn’t provide to Flynn – was the newly unsealed January 4, 2017 “Closing Communication” from the FBI Washington Field Office, which recommended the FBI close its investigation of Flynn, as its exhaustive search through government databases “did not yield any information on which to predicate further investigative efforts.” Van Grack also failed to provide evidence to Flynn’s attorneys that anti-Trump former FBI agent Peter Strzok then immediately intervened and instructed the FBI case manager handling the Flynn investigation to keep the probe open, followed by indicators that the bureau would seek to investigate Flynn for possible violations of an obscure 18th century law known as the Logan Act — which has never been utilized in a modern prosecution. Another Strzok text mentions that the FBI’s “7th floor” – meaning FBI leadership – may have been involved in the decision to keep the Flynn case alive. Instead, Van Grack characterized Flynn’s alleged false statements as critical to the FBI’s “legitimate and significant investigation into whether individuals associated with the campaign of then-candidate Donald J. Trump were coordinating with the Russian government in its activities to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.”

”

President Trump is running a new campaign ad that includes a very brief clip of CNN personalities supporting him for actions he’s taken during the coronavirus.
So, CNN promptly sent him a cease-and-desist letter.
In the ad, titled “American Comeback,” Trump is seen at the State of the Union saying, “My administration will take all necessary steps to safeguard our citizens from this threat.”
The ad bounces through critics of Trump’s initial ban on travel from China, including presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, who says Trump is guilty of “xenophobia.”
Then there’s a brief clip showing CNN’s Wolf Blitzer and Dr. Sanjay Gupta discussing social distancing efforts that were crafted early on by the federal government and put into effect by most states.
“Is it accurate that if these steps had not been put in place … it could have been 2 million people down here in the United States?” asks Blitzer, as the screen cuts to a Chinese airliner and an airport screen that says “cancelled.”
“Yes,” Gupta says.
CNN claims that’s deceptive.
“A lawyer for CNN’s parent company WarnerMedia has written a cease-and-desist letter to President Trump’s re-election campaign over the misleading contents of a new campaign ad,” the network announced Monday. “WarnerMedia says the Trump ad is misusing CNN news coverage in a way that’s ‘false, misleading and deceptive.’”
CNN‘s Brian Stelter, a longtime Trump hater, said the Blizter/Gupta clips implies the pair are referring to Trump’s travel ban instead of the social distancing measures — even though Trump never mentions his travel ban.
The ad takes a segment from CNN’s “The Situation Room” out of context. On March 30, anchor Wolf Blitzer asked Dr. Sanjay Gupta, “Well, is it accurate that if these steps had not been put in place, the stay at home orders, the social distancing orders, as the President said yesterday, it could have been 2 million people down here in the United States?” Gupta responded, “I mean, you know, these are all models, Wolf. It’s a little tough to say, but, you know, if you talk about something that is spreading, you know, very robustly throughout a community. You know, two to three times more contagious than flu, and up to 10 times, perhaps even more than that, more deadly than flu, then yes.” Blitzer’s question was about “stay at home orders” and social distancing, but in the campaign ad, that portion of his question was omitted. After Blitzer and Gupta are shown on screen, the ad cuts to taped video that invokes Trump’s restrictions on travel from China, like an airport screen showing cancelled flights.
Rick McMurtry, associate general counsel for WarnerMedia, said in the letter sent to Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh. “CNN hereby demands that you discontinue airing the advertisement with the CNN clip that has been distorted in such a way as to mislead the public.”
The ad, he said, “purposely and deceptively edits the clip to imply that Mr. Blitzer and Dr. Gupta were crediting the President’s travel ban policy issued in January for saving millions of American lives, when in fact Mr. Blitzer and Dr. Gupta were discussing recently implemented social distancing guidelines and stay-at-home orders issued by state and local governments.”

The coronavirus now sweeping the world came from a “wet market” in Wuhan, China, which sells all kinds of exotic animals like bats, pangolins, live wolf pups, salamanders, civets, and bamboo rats.
Gross.
Now, it turns out Japan eats some weird stuff, too.
“The giant hornet, along with other varieties of wasps, has traditionally been considered a delicacy in this rugged part of the country,” the New York Times reported. “The grubs are often preserved in jars, pan-fried or steamed with rice to make a savory dish called hebo-gohan. The adults, which can be two inches long, are fried on skewers, stinger and all, until the carapace becomes light and crunchy. They leave a warming, tingling sensation when eaten.”
And they drink the hornets’ venom, too.
“The hornets can also give liquor an extra kick. Live specimens are drowned in shochu, a clear distilled beverage. In their death throes, the insects release their venom into the liquid, and it is stored until it turns a dark shade of amber.”
The invasive species, which was first spotted in Washington state in December (shortly before another Asian import — SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19 — arrived) mostly attacks honey bees, which pollinate some fruits and vegetables, as well flowers.
“These hornets will actually come into colonies, and they will decapitate the bees at the hive. They can decimate an entire colony.” Honey bees and other native bees are important to the agriculture industry and “food sustainability,” University of Tennessee entomologist Jennifer Tsurda told WVLT News.

“The refusal to distribute this benefit to U.S. citizen children undermines the CARES Act’s goal of providing assistance to Americans in need, frustrates the Act’s efforts to jumpstart the economy, and punishes citizen children for their parents’ status — punishment that is particularly nonsensical given that undocumented immigrants, collectively, pay billions of dollars each year in taxes,” their lawsuit reads.
The lawsuit alleges that their children, who were born in the US, are being “punished” because their parents are illegal immigrants.
In order to receive funds from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which provided $1,200 for adults and $500 for each child, the person needs to have a Social Security number, something you only have if you are a US citizen.
Norma claims she lost her job at a restaurant and can’t get any money because she is not a citizen.
“I have lost my job, and in my home three adults have the coronavirus; none of us are working,” one of the plaintiffs, identified only as “Norma” said in a statement released through her lawyers. “My son is an American citizen, and we need him to receive the CARES Act benefit to provide food and a roof over his head until this difficult moment passes.”
The lawsuit argues denying relief money to children of illegal immigrants is unconstitutional under the Fifth Amendment “because the children are being discriminated against and treated differently from other US citizen children.”

thegatewaypundit--2020-05-05--UPDATED: Dr. Fauci Likely Broke US Regulations and US Law When He Funded Wuhan Lab to Continue Coron

UPDATED: Dr. Fauci Likely Broke US Regulations and US Law When He Funded Wuhan Lab to Continue Coronavirus Projects That Were Banned in US in 2014

A month ago we reported that Chinese Doctor Shi Zhengli was part of a team working on a coronavirus project jointly with US doctors in 2014 before it was shut down by the DHS for being too risky .
After the US research project was shut down , Dr. Shi continued her coronavirus research in Wuhan , China .
Doctor Shi Zhengli from China was part of a team , including Doctor Ralph S. Baric from North Carolina , that published an article in a 2015 edition of Nature Medicine .
TRENDING : Illegal Immigrants Are Suing the Government for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ article they discussed bat coronaviruses that showed potential for human emergence .
The article was published in 2015 .
This report was published shortly after their project was defunded by the US Department of Health and Human Services ( HHS ) .
The HHS in 2014 sent a letter to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where they announced they were going to defund the program .
Dr. Ralph S. Baric was identified in the letter .
After the work stopped in the US , the Chinese moved forward with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wuhan at the Wuhan Virology Center .
From Shi Zhengli ’ s papers and resume , it is clear that they successfully isolated the coronavirus in the lab and were actively experimenting with species to species transmission .
It ’ s also important to note that back in 2017 we had solid intelligence about a viral leak in a high security Chinese virology R & D center that resulted in the SARS virus getting out and killing people .
This information provides a basis that contradicts the theory that COVID-19 is a variant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the wild and then jumped to a human when they ate a delicious bowl of bat soup .
We then reported that the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan , Hubei Province in China was hiring individuals for an ecological study of bat migration and virus transmission in November of 2019 .
We now know from Dr. Shi ’ s resume and papers that she was still working on the coronavirus at that time .
Via Yaacov Apelbaum .
Now we can report that the leader of the US task force overseeing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ China coronavirus , Dr. Tony Fauci , was the one who funded the Wuhan bat virus work and kept it going .
If these research projects were banned in the US was it legal and appropriate for Dr. Fauci and NIAID to use taxpayer dollars to continue to fund the research in Wuhan , China ?
Was Dr. Fauci ever going to explain his conflict of interest ?
Did Dr. Fauci skirt US law to fund these dangerous projects in China ?
Should the man in charge of the flawed US policy to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trusted when he has not been upfront with his connections to the Wuhan research projects ?
Back in October 2014 , the US government had placed a federal moratorium on gain-of-function ( GOF ) research—altering natural pathogens to make them more deadly and infectious–as a result of rising fears about a possible pandemic caused by accidental or deliberate release of these genetically engineered monster germs .
This was in part due to lab accidents at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC ) in July 2014 that raised questions about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ internal report described how scientists failed to follow proper procedures to ensure samples were inactivated before they left the lab , and also found “ multiple other problems ” with operating procedures in the anthrax lab .
As such in October 2014 , due to public health concerns the US government banned all federal funding on efforts to weaponize three viruses—influenza , Middle East respiratory syndrome ( MERS ) , and severe acute respiratory syndrome ( SARS ) .
In the face of a moratorium in the US , Dr. Anthony Fauci–director of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Disease ( NIAID ) and currently the leading doctor in the US Coronavirus Task Force–outsourced in 2015 the GOF research to China ’ s Wuhan lab and licensed the lab to continue receiving federal funding .
The Wuhan lab is now at the center of scrutiny for possibly releasing theSARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and causing the global Covid-19 pandemic .
What more does Dr. Fauci have in his past that he has not revealed to the American public ?
