FBI agent involved in Whitmer kidnapping case brutally assaulted wife after swingers' party: affidavit

[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] An FBI
...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time...
agent involved in the Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer
...Her Excellency, the dictator of Michigan, 2020 Dem VP contender who never got off the ground...
kidnapping case was charged Monday after allegedly assaulting his wife after leaving a swingers' party.

Special Agent Richard Trask, 39, of Kalamazoo was charged with assault with intent to do great bodily harm, less than murder following the incident late Sunday, according to The bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit
... ruled by Democrats since 1962. A city whose Golden Age included the Purple Gang...
News.

Trask's wife told police that she and her husband had drinks at a swingers' party in Oshtemo Township, adding that an argument was started on the way home between the pair because she did not like the party.

"An affidavit filed by the Kalamazoo County Sheriff's Office in Kalamazoo County District Court said Trask's wife had bloody lacerations to the right side of her head and 'blood all over chest, clothing arms and hand,' as well as 'severe' bruising to her neck and throat," wrote The Detroit News.

After arriving at home from the party, Trask reportedly got on top of her in their bed "then grabbed the side of her head and smashed it several times on the nightstand," according to the affidavit.

In an attempt to escape, the wife tried to grab his beard. Trask then proceeded to choke her around her neck. She was able to end the assault by grabbing Trask's testicles.

Trask then left the home in her vehicle, and he was tracked to a supermarket parking lot in Oshemto Township. He refused give a statement on the incident after being read is Miranda rights.

Trask has reportedly worked for the FBI since 2011 and has "served as the FBI's public face in the Whitmer case, testifying in federal court about the investigation," according to The Detroit News.

FBI spokeswoman Mara Schneider said on Monday the bureau is cooperating with the prosecutor's office. Trask's current job status was unclear.

"In accordance with FBI policy, the incident is subject to internal review, and I cannot comment further at this time," she said in a statement.

Following an arraignment in 8th District Court in Kalamazoo, Trask was released on a $10,000 personal recognizance bond. He faces a charge punishable by up to 10 years in prison. He is prohibited from possessing a firearm as part of his bond conditions.

"It's the last thing you want for a major case like this," said the former special agent in charge of the FBI's Detroit office Andrew Arena, in regards to Trask's connection to the Whitmer case. "Any time you give the defense any ammunition it's not good."

Trask reportedly testified in January in federal court against accused kidnapping plotter Barry Croft, a Delaware resident who is allegedly the group's bomb maker. Croft was identified by Trask as the national leader of the small militia group the 3 Percenters, who participated in the January 6 Reichstag Capitol
...A demonstration held in the capital in support of President Trump and against election thievery that Dems have been calliing an insurrection. It's the Dem equivalent of the Reichstag Fire...
Hill riot.

"During the court hearing, Trask helped provide context about multiple undercover recordings that included Croft. At the time, prosecutors wanted Croft held without bond, saying he was a violent mostly peaceful murderous Moslem," wrote The Detroit News.

FBI accused of running 'fake tip line' during Brett Kavanaugh background check
[Washington Examiner] Seven Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats demanded the FBI explain its use of a novel tip line implemented during a supplemental background investigation into then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in 2018.

In a Tuesday letter to Director Chris Wray, Democratic senators accused the FBI of being "politically constrained by the Trump White House," demanding to know what extent the agency vetted tips and whether the administration prevented it from doing so.

The letter was written by Sens. Dick Durbin, Patrick Leahy, Chris Coons, Cory Booker, Mazie Hirono, Sheldon Whitehouse, and Richard Blumenthal.
probably written by one of their semi-literate aides. This group of imbeciles couldn't keep a straight sentence
The accusation comes in response to a June 30 letter from Jill Tyson, assistant director for the FBI's Office of Congressional Affairs, addressed to Whitehouse and Coons detailing the agency’s supplemental background investigation into sexual assault allegations levied against Kavanaugh after he was nominated by former President Donald Trump to serve on the Supreme Court.

Republicans send letter to the White House demanding answers on Facebook working with administration
[Just The News] epublican Reps. Jim Jordan, Mike Johnson, and Dan Bishop sent a letter to the White House and Facebook on Thursday demanding answers about the Biden administration’s announcement that it would work with Facebook to flag "misinformation" posts to censor.

In their letter, the three Republicans argue that the Biden administration and other groups "encourage cellular communications carriers to surreptitiously spy on Americans in an effort to silence speech disfavored by the Biden Administration" and that the White House had said it was flagging posts for Facebook to remove as "misinformation."

Jordan, who is the ranking member of the House Judiciary committee, asked both White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Jeffrey Zients and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg for documents on what the Biden administration considers misinformation that should be removed.

They are also asking for documents of communication between the Biden administration and Facebook identifying content that should be censored.

"These efforts target speech that the Biden Administration and its allies view as 'misinformation' would have grave consequences for Americans' First and Fourth Amendment rights," Jordan said.

Government Corruption
Candace Owens scandalizes house candidacy of Klacik
By Orland Avendano

[ElAmerican] A small Twitter feud turned into multiple, heavy accusations. Former Republican Party candidate for Congress for Maryland’s 7th Congressional District, Kimberly Klacik, is facing strong accusations about her past and possible fraud with campaign funds. The accusations are being leveled by none other than influential conservative personality and Daily Wire’s host, Candace Owens.

The struggle over the representativeness of black community support generated tensions between conservative commentator Candace Owens and Kimberly Klacik, who consolidated herself as a conservative influencer in social media despite her unsuccessful congressional bid. Finally, the tension manifested itself in a disagreement over President Biden’s recognition of Juneteenth as a national holiday.

Because of the disagreement, which escalated, Candace Owens claimed she had found out “incredible” information about Kimberly Klacik and would soon reveal it. This Tuesday, June 22, Candace Owens took the plunge: she revealed, after investigating, that Klacik allegedly has a foundation that functions as a front, was a stripper, used campaign money for personal expenses, and committed donation fraud.

Klacik, meanwhile, denied Owens’ allegations. Her lawyers, she explained, will act against Owens and The Daily Wire. The former candidate blocked Owens from her social media. She also disabled comments on her Instagram and Twitter posts.

Yes — Fauci Must Go
[ISSUESINSIGHTS] After watching Anthony Fauci
...American epidemiologist with rotating opinions, warnings about the unlikely, and reassurances that if you wear a mask you won't get COVID, as long as you're wearing multiple masks, assuming wearing a mask is necessary in the first place...
once again obfuscate, evade and outright lie before Congress about his failures as this nation’s de facto COVID-19 czar, we’re led to one inescapable conclusion: He needs to resign immediately or be fired for incompetence and dishonesty.

Fauci’s appearance this week before a congressional panel should be the final straw, even for his partisan supporters in the Democratic Party.

#1  He's been very effective at facilitating the discreet laundering of USD to the Wuhan Institute of Virology and discouraging an investigation into the actual origins of the pandemic. His support for the initial Wet Market cover story and project deflection was also commendable. His denial of so-called 'Gain of Function' research has become legendary.

#10  as•tute ə-stoo͞t′, ə-styoo͞t′►
adj. Having or showing shrewdness and discernment, especially with respect to one's own concerns. synonym: shrewd.
Of keen penetration or discernment; cunning; sagacious.
Synonyms Sagacious, Sage, Knowing, Astute, Subtle. Sagacious and sage are used only in good senses, and when applied to persons generally suggest the wisdom of age or experience. The knowing man has wide knowledge and often penetration. The word knowing has also a humorous cast: as, he gave me a knowing wink; it may be used ironically: as, he is a little too knowing, that is, he thinks he knows more than he does; it may be used of knowing more than one has a right to know; it sometimes suggests a disposition to make ill use of knowledge: as, a knowing leer. Astute is often the same as sagacious, but is susceptible of an unfavorable sense in the direction of a narrow shrewdness, slyness, or cunning; it often means a sagacity that knows how to be silent; it is frequently applied to looks. Subtle, in its good sense, implies great acuteness, delicacy, or refinement in mental action: as, a subtle reasoner. For its bad sense, see cunning.

#9  Epoch Times:

An archbishop on Thursday responded to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s claim that she is a devout Catholic who supports abortion.

“Let me repeat: no one can claim to be a devout Catholic and condone the killing of innocent human life, let alone have the government pay for it. The right to life is a fundamental—the most fundamental—human right, and Catholics do not oppose fundamental human rights,” San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone said in a statement.

Cordileone is the archbishop of Pelosi’s home diocese.

Last month, Catholic bishops in the United States approved the drafting of a document that may rebuke her, President Joe Biden, and other prominent Catholics who support abortion despite the faith’s teachings.

Biden was denied communion in 2019 over his support of abortion.

Cordileone said earlier this year that he discussed with Pelosi her abstaining from receiving communion because of her position on abortion.

Judge orders city of Minneapolis to hire more cops after 'Refund the Police' lawsuit prevails
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] The city of Minneapolis is being legally mandated to hire more cops after a year of rampant looting, rioting, and violent mostly peaceful crime in the wake of George Floyd's death.In a legal triumph, the National Police Association's amicus brief supporting a lawsuit against Minneapolis City Council and Mayor Jacob Frey
...The inept and ineffective (but I repeat myself) Dem class president mayor of Minneapolis during the George Floyd race riots. Frey issued the order for police to evacuate the Third Precinct so it could safely be burned to the ground, and has since dithered, waffled, and obfuscated on a near daily basis. The city is a Dem stronghold, so he'll probably be reelected...
for allowing the city's police department to fall below minimum staffing has prevailed. Now the city has been ordered by the court to restore the police force's dwindled numbers.

Minneapolis attorney Erick Kaardal, the NPA's lead council for the amicus brief, gave an in-depth look at the realities of the case in an interview with The Post Millennial. Kaardal discussed the importance of staffing requirements for law enforcement and how a lack of staffing had impacted Minneapolis and its citizens.

Kaardal also explained why Minneapolis City Council must get approval from the public and police federation before taking actions to defund. The lawyer outlined reasons why charters such as the staffing requirement have been put in place by cities like Minneapolis and why they're so crucial to the safety of communities.

The Minneapolis city charter acts as the city's constitution at the municipal level, Kaardal elucidated. Minnesota was the fourth state to permit "home rule" through a constitutional amendment approved in 1896, which allows citizens to create city governments separate from the standards established under state law. A home rule charter "allows a community to establish and maintain a municipal corporation to provide for the common health, safety, and welfare of its people."

US probe of Jan. 6 attack falls apart after Pelosi boots two Republicans off committee
[EN.ALGHADEERTV.NET] US plans for a bipartisan committee to investigate the pro-Trump January 6 attack on the Capitol Hill have fallen apart after House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
kicked off two Republicans from a riot committee.

Pelosi rejected Republican leader Kevin McCarthy
...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's...
’s naming of representatives Jim Banks and Jim Jordan to the committee.

She formed a panel last month to investigate the "root causes" of the attack.

On Wednesday, she rejected the two GOP representative involve in the probe, citing their objection to President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing...
’s Electoral College victory.

"With respect for the integrity of the investigation, with an insistence on the truth and with concern about statements made and actions taken by these Members, I must reject the recommendations of Representatives Banks and Jordan to the Select Committee," Pelosi said in a statement.

"The unprecedented nature of January 6th demands this unprecedented decision," Pelosi noted.

The two are said to be staunch allies of former president Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
. They voted against Trump’s impeachment and pushed to overturn the election results certifying Biden as president.

Trump was impeached for inciting his supporters to storm the Capitol building, where politicians were in the process of confirming Biden’s win in the 2020 presidential election.

The attack resulted in the death of at least five people, including a police officer who was guarding the Congress building.

Pelosi called on McCarthy to name two new Republicans to the committee, but he instead, pulled all five Republicans he had named from the panel.

"We will run our own investigation," McCarthy said during a news conference Wednesday.

"Republicans will not be party to their sham process and will instead pursue our own investigation of the facts," he added.

The latest development marks yet another bipartisan failure in repeated attempts by members of Congress to investigate the storming of the Capitol, in more than 200 years.

Earlier this year, Pelosi proposed appointing an independent bipartisan commission.
