[Breitbart] Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) told Breitbart News on Monday evening that she thinks Attorney General Merrick Garland must appoint a Special Counsel to investigate President Joe Biden’s family members’ dealings with the Chinese Communist Party.
"I think what we know or what we can surmise by looking at all of this is that it is appropriate and the Attorney General should appoint a special counsel to investigate what has happened with Biden Incorporated and Hunter Biden, James Biden, Joe Biden, and their business dealings with Communist China and the Chinese Communist Party," Blackburn said in an interview Monday night.
Blackburn’s interview came after Breitbart News on Sunday evening published a 2019 document from the U.S. Attorney’s office in Delaware showing that the IRS, as part of a criminal investigation into the president’s son, Hunter Biden, subpoenaed JPMorgan Chase Bank for financial records of Hunter Biden, the president’s brother James Biden, their associates Devon Archer and Eric Schwerin, and a number of business entities with which they were involved.

A commendable effort which will go absolutely nowhere. The crime family must continue to sow the seeds of a Euro conflict in order to provide media cover for a failed economy, a Chinese virus, and Hunter's foreign misdeeds.

While I support the appointment of Special Counsel to anything involving the Biden Admin Junta and related family members.
The problem is since Obama, the DOJ and a small group of Federal Agents have been acting like a liberal political enforcer unit, instead of following written law in the application of equal justice.
So in reality, this stands about as much chance of happening with any serious real effort, as a 1 legged well digger finishing the job on schedule.

$1.7million house. Government "service" must pay well.
Or should we look at her husband's investments? Does the exemption from insider trading prosecution apply to the executive branch as well or only to Congress?

San Quentin's death row dates back to 1893, when its first condemned inmate was hung
Its residents over the past 160 years have been the stuff of horror movies, and have included some of the vilest murderers in American history
Infamous former inmates include serial killers Charles Manson and the 'night stalker' Richard Ramirez
Governor Gavin Newsom placed a moratorium on executions in 2019, and is now moving to dismantle San Quentin's death row - the nation's largest
About 670 condemned inmates will be moved to the general prison population
One advocate said the victims' families are unhappy with the decision
'They´re moving condemned murderers into facilities that are going to make their lives better and offer them more amenities,' the victim's advocate said

LOL. The executions continue on the streets, in businesses, in homes, and even in schools. It alters behavior. People avoid areas, people lock themselves down, people fear. Heck the executions continue in prisons but not carried out by the state.

They say they have to let a lot of prisoners go because the prisons are too crowded and then they close San Quentin? They downgraded a whole bunch of felonies to misdemeanors because they said they don't have enough prisons and now they're closing one of the biggest prisons in the state? Only Democrats...

[Free Beacon] Democratic congresswoman Marie Newman (Ill.) appears to be using donor funds to pay out tens of thousands of dollars in settlement money to a political rival she bribed to keep out of her primary race.
In late June, Newman settled a breach of contract lawsuit with local activist Iymen Chehade, which stemmed from an employment agreement she signed that promised Chehade a six-figure job in her official office in exchange for his commitment not to run against her. Just two days after the settlement, Newman's campaign began paying Chehade a "salary" of roughly $10,000 a month, financial disclosures show. Those payments continued through late December, allowing Chehade to rake in more than $50,000 from the campaign.
Newman's settlement with Chehade came as the Democrat faced a congressional ethics investigation into her employment agreement with the activist. Under federal law, a candidate cannot promise a job "for the purpose of procuring political support." But Chehade signed a nondisclosure agreement as part of the settlement, making him unable to participate in the investigation. During the probe, Newman campaign manager Ben Hardin seemingly confirmed that Newman's settlement prompted the payments to Chehade, telling the Office of Congressional Ethics (OCE) that the activist "has a few deliverables as part of the settlement" but otherwise has "very minimal interaction" with the campaign.
[Illinoisreview.com via Zero] Villa Park State Rep. Deb Conroy (Democrat) wants to "isolate or quarantine persons who are unable or unwilling to receive vaccines, medications, or other treatments."
HB 4640 is scheduled to be heard in the Illinois House Human Services Committee February 2 at 9:00 AM.
If HB 4640 were to become law, persons exposed to an infectious disease could be placed under Public Health Department observation, only possible in a contained atmosphere with Department watch guards, some suggest such as a concentration camp.
The bill says:
To prevent the spread of a dangerously contagious or infectious disease, the [Public Health] Department may, pursuant to the provisions of subsection (c) of this Section, isolate or quarantine persons whose refusal to undergo observation and monitoring results in uncertainty regarding whether he or she has been exposed to or is infected with a dangerously contagious or infectious disease or otherwise poses a danger to the public's health.
HB 4640 would also set up a state network data collection system for persons that have received mandated vaccines, medications, or otherwise.
[WashingtonExaminer] The battle over a Biden Federal Reserve nominee is escalating as Republicans prepare to grill her over her outspoken political advocacy, including her political support for reparations and policing reform, and Democrats accuse her critics of bias.
Lisa Cook, a professor of economics at Michigan State University who served under President Barack Obama as a senior economist on the Council of Economic Advisers, was nominated by President Joe Biden to serve on the Fed’s Board of Governors. During her confirmation hearing Thursday, Republicans are planning to highlight her past political remarks and social media use to raise questions about her commitment to remaining nonpartisan as a top Fed official.

Whatever....
What about the 32++million that have naturally acaiired immunity from having it in the last 60 to 90days?. Or is the goal to pump everyone UP with an experimental VAX?
[DW] US Democratic Senator Ben Ray Lujan is undergoing treatment after a stroke, but is expected to make a "full recovery."
Good.
His absence could imperil President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Being a self-defined foreign policy whiz kid means never having to say you're sorry... 's plans to confirm a new Supreme Court ...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations... justice.
US Democratic Senator Ben Ray Lujan of New Mexico has been hospitalized after a stroke, his office announced Tuesday.
It's unclear how long Lujan will be out of commission for his recovery, which could spell trouble for US President Joe Biden as he seeks to push through major policy measures ahead of key elections later this year.
WHAT DO WE KNOW SO FAR?
The 49-year-old checked into a hospital in New Mexico's capital of Santa Fe last week after feeling dizzy and fatigued. The symptoms were later discovered to be caused by a stroke, with Lujan receiving decompressive surgery to ease swelling.
The senator is now recovering at another hospital in New Mexico's largest city, Albuquerque.
Lujan is expected to make a "full recovery." However, there's more than one way to skin a cat... it's unclear when he will return to his duties as senator.
COULD LUJAN'S ABSENCE DERAIL BIDEN'S PRIORITIES?
Lujan's absence could complicate US President Joe Biden's agenda in the coming months, as the Democrats only have a 50-member majority in the Senate, with Vice President Kámala Harris Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, then a senatrix from California, and then a former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful. She dropped out because she was polling in negative numbers because of racism or misogyny or something like that. Her father is a Marxist professor emeritus at Stanford and her mother is an Indian of the Hindoo tribe. She is reputedly the proud descendant of a long line of women. Joe Biden picked her for her skin tone, feeling she could also bring in the Native American, women's, and bimbo votes. She's an outstanding exemplar of the Peter Principle, proudly displaying her level of competence in her handling of the Biden Border Surge serving as the tiebreaking vote.
One of Biden's plans is confirming a new justice on the nation's highest court, after Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer announced his retirement last week. Biden is expected to announce a Black female nominee to replace Breyer by the end of this month.
The nominee would require all 50 Democratic senators to vote in favor of her confirmation. Biden is also under pressure, as Republicans could take control of the chamber following the upcoming November midterm elections.
A top Senate Democrat, Dick Durbin ...Senator-for-Life from Illinois and Democratic Party Whip. In April 2006, Time magazine identified Durbin as one of America's 10 Best Senators, so what's that tell you? He was the first United States Senator to support the presidential candidacy of Barack Obama, then the junior senator from Illinois... of Illinois, expressed shock on Tuesday after hearing the news of Lujan's hospitalization, but said it's unclear how it will affect the schedule in the chamber.
"I'm so glad to hear that he will make a full recovery. We look forward to his quick return to the Senate," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer ...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 46.16023 years, or 323.12161 years in dog years. Senate minority leader as of 2017... of New York tweeted in response to the news.
Lujan began his first term in the Senate in January 2021, after serving in the House of Representatives for over a decade.

At that age stroke effects can be extreme. Such a young age and I wonder out loud if he received vax as I expect many such events will occur more often. This is just the beginning of his story.
#2
The explanation he had a stroke is extremely vague.
The need for decompressive surgery suggests he had a bleed into his brain rather than a simple blockage of blood supply.

I was iffy as to the object of TW's 'Good" comment (good that the rat had a stroke, good that the rat was expected to recover, and on and on) but finally came down on the 'good he is expected to recover' facet. It is TW after all.
Personally, if all Dem rat reps and senators had strokes, I would call THAT good.
Ditto for pubs. They are all corrupt.

Yes. Sorry I was unclear, dear Whisky Mike. Also that his absence will imperil, or at least slow, the Supreme Court nomination.

Poor communication is on the communicator, Vespasian Ebboting9735. I can’t count on everyone believing my heart is as pure as an angel in white — especially when I’m really no more pure than the general run of humanity.
[Townhall] "So I think it must have been Wednesday morning when I received a surprise call at 9:30 a.m. from Ron Klain, not a usual person to call me. I think the first time he's ever called me. He said the president wanted me to know that Stephen Breyer was about to announce his retirement from the court and they were telling a limited number of people and that I should keep it confidential," Sen. Dick Durbin told reporters Monday. "That’s what confidential on Capitol Hill leads to, I guess."
