Russians Oligarchs Sure Do Love to Invest in America

Russians Oligarchs Sure Do Love to Invest in America

The New York field office of the FBI has been a problem since it bullyragged James Comey during the 2016 presidential campaign. It has hungered for a Clinton head to hang on its lobby wall for almost two decades. On Monday, however, the office found itself wearing a sentence that included the phrases, "FBI official," "indicted by," and "Russian oligarch," which is a chain with several balls attached to it.

It's actually heartening to find out Garland was running a rat hunt of the FBI. - justiceputnam tweet

Classified Documents Found At Mike Pence's Home. Let The Investigation Begin!

Documents with classified markings were found at former Vice President Mike Pence’s Indiana home last week, officials confirmed Tuesday.

Pence’s team notified the National Archives on Jan. 18 that a small number of documents were “inadvertently boxed and transported” to the former vice president’s home at the end of the last administration. Pence was “unaware of the existence of sensitive or classified documents at his personal residence,” his lawyer wrote to the Archives.

Apparently all politicians just hoard classified material. I'm starting to wonder how Jimmy Carter insulates all those Habitats for Humanity. ~ Stephen Colbert

“When the C.I.A. noticed in late 2010 that its spies were disappearing…as fears of a mole grew, the government set up a secret task force….A veteran F.B.I. counterintelligence agent, Charles McGonigal, was assigned to run it,” reported @nytimes in 2018. - Michael Beschloss

Wishful Thinking By Biden

President Biden renewed his call for an assault weapons ban on Tuesday following a shooting in Half Moon Bay, Calif., that left several people dead.

“Even as we await further details on these shootings, we know the scourge of gun violence across America requires stronger action. I once again urge both chambers of Congress to act quickly and deliver this Assault Weapons Ban to my desk, and take action to keep American communities, schools, workplaces, and homes safe,” Biden said in a statement.

Just remember, I’ve been saying for well over a year, and probably closer to TWO, that when this stuff all goes down….it will be so much bigger and complex than anyone ever imagined. Hold on to your asses, folks. There’s a storm brewing o’er yonder! - Jack Hopkins tweet

FBI search deepens political implications of Biden document discoveries

FBI search deepens political implications of Biden document discoveries

The FBI search of President Joe Biden’s home and discovery of more classified material deepened the seriousness of his secret documents controversy and worsened the political fallout.

Biden’s lawyers argued that Friday’s search underscored his cooperation with a special counsel’s investigation – implicitly distinguishing him from the behavior of ex-President Donald Trump in his own classified documents scandal.

Either Biden and/or his staff were careless in their handling of classified materials or those materials were planted. Either way, it needs to be investigated.

Well, Well, Well, The Russian Plot Thickens...

A former top FBI official in New York has been arrested over his ties to a Russian oligarch, law enforcement sources told ABC News Monday.

Charles McGonigal, who was the special agent in charge of counterintelligence in the FBI’s New York Field Office, is under arrest over his ties to Oleg Deripaska, a Russian billionaire who has been sanctioned by the United States and criminally charged last year with violating those sanctions.

McGonigal retired from the FBI in 2018. He was arrested Saturday afternoon after he arrived at JFK Airport following travel in Sri Lanka, the sources said.

A top FBI official was arrested and charged with money laundering and violating Russian sanctions. Sounds like residual Trump era corruption. - ImSpeaking13 tweet

Three Marines were arrested Wednesday for their participation in the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to court documents unsealed Thursday.

Micah Coomer, Joshua Abate, and Dodge Dale Hellonen -- three men identified by investigators as active-duty Marines -- were arrested on four charges each stemming from their participation in the mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol in a bid to prevent the certification of Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election.
