Beyond a REASONABLE Doubt

 


Pilgrim, imagine you are a juror in a likely upcoming Trump trial in south Florida over his having secret government documents and obstruction of justice.


You are told by the Trump defense that the Presidential Records Act gave Trump 5 years to decide what documents he wanted to keep and which he turned over to the archives. This presidential prerogative was superseded by a hostile partisan DOJ and Trump disagreement wherein Trump still wanted to keep some historic momentous.


Contrast this with Biden’s clearly illegal retention of many times this amount of government documentation. And ditto Hillary Clinton’s illegally storing many time this number on an unsecured server which had been breached by our adversaries … and then, after being warned to retain this evidence, destroyed it on the server and on multiple cell phones.


At this point you would be reminded by the defense that none other than the former director of the FBI, James Comey, had very publicly said “no REASONABLE prosecutor would prosecute Hillary under these circumstances.” And clearly Joey Mumbles is skating on his illegal docs case.


Sooo …  do these what-abouts constitute REASONABLE  doubt in your mind? They do in mine.



STAND UP FOR REASONABLE DOIBT!


Partisan Hack



Could our Attorney General Merrick Garland be a more obvious partisan hack in his defense of the Biden crime family and his attack on Donald Trump?


His latest boulder on the scales of justice is a threat to arrest Devon Archer, Hunter’s previous friend and business partner, ahead of his testimony to Congress about Joey Mumbles’ involvement in foreign bribery schemes.

17 Smoking Guns?

 


Senator Grassley has revealed in his release of the shocking form FD-1023 from a reliable FBI informant that the head of the Ukraine energy company Burisma … on which Hunter Biden was a board member … secretly taped 17 Biden shakedown phone calls … 15 from Hunter and 2 from Joe … see: Washington Examiner article.


Where are these recordings? Does the FBI have them? Does Sen. Grassley have them? Or have they disappeared as a result of all the billions of U.S. aide to Ukraine in its war with Russia? Time will tell.


But, if they show up, they might easily swing most of Biden devotees to finally popping this corrupt pustule on the face of America.

Interesting Factoids

 


Today, two Sunday morning talking heads shows … on ABC and FoxNews … dealt with the Hunter Biden Delaware court plea unraveling and the new Trump indictments. But both led off with and spent more time on the new fatuous Trump attacks … and downplayed the Hunter bombshell.


But Howard Kurtz’s “Media Buzz” … which I like most … led with the possible impeachment inquiry of Biden … and then son Hunter’s plea bargain problems … then Trump’s new indictments.

Is Anything on the Up and Up?

 


The federal government has just dropped the campaign financing violation against Sam Bankman-Fried … who has been charged with funneling $90 million of purloined FTX customer funds to the Democrats’ 2022 election campaigns.


Why did the Biden administration erase this serious malfeasance? Believe it or not … because (supposedly) when SB-F was extradited from the Bahamas, the authorities there set up the condition that he not be charged with election fraud!


What! Why would the Bahamas do this? And furthermore why would the Fed’s comply?


Pilgrim, can you think of any other extralegal decisions made by the Biden bum kissers recently?


Think Hunter’s paragraph 15. Think Trump documents persecution. Think Jan6. Think White House cocaine. Think Mexican border. Think student loans. Think Joey Mumbles’ docs. Think bribes from foreign countries.


Enough? There’s lots more …

STAND UP FOR JUICY?


Smarmy


Mt. Super Smarmy, Esq.

The Asst. U.S. Attorney and prosecutor in the Hunter Biden case, David Weiss, has behaved in a typical Merrick Garland DOJ smarmy way. In yesterdays’s supposed plea deal, it was revealed that the investigation of Hunter was officially “ongoing.” 


This was quite unusual … a plea deal before the investigation was over? However this kept the DOJ or FBI from having to answer any Congressional questions about the Biden crime family.


But, due to Judge Maryellen Noreika’s sentient question, we also learned that the DOJ was, wink wink, nudge nudge, also giving Hunter blanket immunity against any further prosecution for the myriad of other crimes now leaking out.


Aren’t these diametrically opposed and illegal stipulations?


Actually smarmy is too soft a word? How about super smarmy?


Afterward: This heroic judge’s conditions for Hunter staying out of jail are that he not drink, take periodic drug tests and get a job! So long Hunter!

Oppenheimer, Truman and MacArthur

 


As a result of the Oppenheimer movie, Jon Stewart has a typical empty-headed reaction to our bombing of Hiroshima. Please watch the above to not fall into Stewart’s conclusion. I learned things I didn’t know. I suspect you will too.


One more thought … Truman had the courage to drop the A-bombs in Japan, but not on the hoards of Chinese when they entered the Korean War. I think this was a huge mistake since China was still 5 years away from equivalent weaponry … and might now be more inclined toward pacificism like the Japanese.


Did the Jon Stewart types in the ensuing years after the end of the war with Japan convince Truman to hold back in Korea … and fire General MacArthur? I suspect so.

Many highly-paid political pundits say Trump can’t be the Republican presidential candidate because he can’t be elected.


I’m not  an any-paid political pundit … but I sincerely doubt that, if Trump is not the candidate, any other Republican nominee would turn out enough Trump supporters to carry the day.


He did get 75 million real votes last time … after all.
