A View from the Beach: Flotsam and Jetsam - Dem Threatens Taibbi with Jail, Bud Light Exec Out

It's good to see the Wombat back in action with In The Mailbox: 04.21.23 introducing Margot Cleveland at Da Fed, EXPLOSIVE: Whistleblower Points To Biden Admin Obstructing Hunter Biden Tax Probe. At NYPo a claim that Attorney General Merrick Garland is ‘senior’ Biden official in Hunter Biden IRS whistleblower claim. "Garland has repeatedly claimed under oath that Delaware US Attorney David Weiss, a Trump administration holdover recommended in 2017 by the state’s Democratic senators, is able to criminally charge Hunter Biden without the permission of other Justice Department leaders, despite Republicans challenging the factual accuracy of that claim." I suspect he will have used enough weasel words to escape perjury. Andy McCarthy at NYPo says Of course Biden officials are interfering in his son’s case — why else has Hunter skated for five years? 'Bonchie' at Red State claims Hunter Biden Lawyer Freaks out About the Whistleblower, Says Too Much in the Process. "Ask yourself, though, why Hunter Biden’s lawyer is even addressing this at all. That gives the game away as far as I’m concerned. If this investigation were no big deal and if the FBI didn’t actually have anything pointing to guilt, then there would be no reason to even comment. As it stands, it seems as if Hunter Biden’s camp is more upset they got caught here. Otherwise, they’d be making a case that the whistleblower is lying."

You complained when I accurately said that companies like NPR, BBC, and CBC are government funded. You complained when I stopped labeling any by government affiliation. So what do you want? For me to tell the truth about some of you but not others?’"

They are using the power of government to intimidate people into either silence, at minimum, or total compliance." Scott Johnson notes the Power Line is Too hot for Facebook.
