The South Carolina Primary

I am not watching but I am curious about the polls that had Trump ahead by 31 points, how is that turning out?

Seemed like a lot to me for Haley's home state.

Garland Does Not Directly Supervise His Special Counsels

Merrick Garland is using the Senior Associate Deputy Attorney General, Brad Weinsheimer, as go between him and his special counsels which may have created serious ethical problems.

Such as when President Biden's attorneys complained about Hur's report it was Weinsheimer who shrugged it off.
It may never be known but it may have been Weinsheimer who gave the Okay to make Weiss a special counsel.

If you want to be informed about how garland has his DOJ in a hot mess because of the way he is using this middle man, take the time to read what Marcy Wheeler has to say, it may change your mind about whether Garland is up to the task of Attorney General.

Some of the legal stuff went over my head, but I can understand the gist of what Marcy is getting at.

Will Garland Allow The Truth To Be Told About Burisma

The Burisma investigation began in 2018 and its intention was to bring down Joe Biden and keep Trump in the White House.
It did not take over 5 years to determine that Hunter Biden was a drug addict who didn't pay his taxes and lied on a gun application.

Merrick Garland claims he is an institutionalist which means his goal is to protect the FBI, DOJ, and Congress. If he allows the real story to be told about Burisma, it will tarnish the FBI, DOJ, and Congress.

Special Counsel Weiss indicted Alexander Smirnov because he had to, a judge was about to release discovery to Hunter Biden's lawyer. The release of discovery would have implicated Bill Barr, Donaghue, Rosen, US attorney Scott Brady, and Weiss himself in a fraudulent investigation.

The Burisma investigation needs to be investigated and that's on Garland. How did Congressional Magats receive information about the investigation before it was completed? Did Weiss leak it to Jordan, Comer, and Grassley? Maybe Putin leaked it to them?

I believe that this is what will happen; Smirnov will be given a sweetheart plea deal just to keep him silent. Garland will not announce any investigation into an investigation that was clearly done to bring down Joe Biden and influence the 2020 and 2024 election . No, Merrick Garland will do what he said he would do, he will protect the FBI, DOJ, and Congress by burying the truth.

Guaranteed we will hear no more about Burisma, because it may influence the 2024 election against Trump and that would be partisan.

I Have A Question About Alabama Embryos

If an embryo is on ice for 18 years, can it vote?

Also, if a couple selects an embryo but there are 3 or 4 more left over, they are not allowed to dispose of the embryos? Who maintains them, can they become wards of the state?

Mark Meadows Does Not Deserve Total Immunity

We don't really know what kind of immunity that Meadows has but this guy was involved in everything, he needs to do jail time.

Tony Bobulinski, Hunter Biden's former business partner is another Alexander Smirnov, a fraud. At a Trump rally Cassidy Hutchinson saw Mark Meadows talking with Bobulinski who was wearing a mask and Meadows gave him an envelope and now Bobulinski is a whistleblower claiming that the Bidens took influence money from China. (I wonder what was in that envelope?) Cassidy even has a photo she took of Meadows talking with Bobulinski. Bobulinski is calling Cassidy a liar.

All that these people do is make shit up and push it on the MSM

Mark Meadows is a scum bag.

The photo is in the link:

Did Some Small Child Give His Life To Save Steve Scalise

Just asking if Steve Scalise had embryonic stem cell therapy for his cancer?

Will Magats outlaw that?

If Trump Becomes President It Will Be Way Worse This Time

I heard some discussion last week about Trump's plans. We know that organizations like the Federalist Society and the Heritage Foundation and several other right wing organizations have been right behind Trump, for example:

Trump didn't really pick Gorsuch, Barrett, and Kavanaugh, the Federalist Society gave Trump a list of names to pick from.

I imagine the same goes for Trump's picking Christopher Wray for FBI Director, he was on a list provided by the Federalist Society.

I hear that Trump will go rogue on these organizations, from now on Trump will make up his own mind, he will pick someone like Aileen Cannon for the Supreme Court. he will pick someone like Steve Bannon for FBI Director.

Yeah, way worse. The monster is out of control.

There Are Many Threads About The Bogus Hunter Biden Investigation

My bottom line is, there needs to be an investigation of the investigation, full blown special counsel. Yeah it will take time but it may send a message that certain people in Congress and in government do not have immunity.

This Russian spy Smirnov, has been an FBI informant since 2010, and no one realized he was working for Putin?

Christopher Wray needs to be investigated, all of them.
