Flotsam and Jetsam - Whistles Blown, Will Anybody Heed Them?

Stacy McCain thinks he sees the ‘Smoking Gun’ on Biden Bribery Scandal, the full, almost totally unredacted FD-1023 form, released by Sen. Grassley. Town Hall's Spencer Brown, Grassley Releases Form FBI Wanted Hidden Showing Biden's Alleged Bribery Scheme. At WaEx, Biden investigation: Grassley releases FBI document accusing Joe and Hunter Biden of bribery scheme. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair, "It doesn’t take long to read through this. Previous reporting has covered the main points; there is considerably more detail to them in the FD-1023. One point made by the informant (confidential human source, “CHS” in the report) is that Russian and Ukrainian businessmen tended to exaggerate their connections, cautioning the FBI to take some of this with a grain of salt. One amusing point: Zlochevsky told the CHS that Hunter Biden “was stupid, and his dog was smarter.” That sounds pretty authentic." A point from Da Caller, Joe Biden And Hunter ‘Both’ Told Ukrainian Oligarch To Keep Him On Burisma Board, FBI Source Says. At Breitbart, House Oversight Committee Releases Official Timeline of Biden Influence Peddling. Ace, House Committee: Joe Biden Met with Chinese-Communist-Party-Controlled "Energy Company" That Hunter Was Being Bribed By. "He had nothing to do with his son's "business." Except meeting with the Chinese-intelligence-controlled front companies that were bribing his son, and having 10% of that money held for him." At 1945, The Hunter Biden Case Just ‘Exploded.’ "I have been somewhat dismissive of the House Oversight Committee’s investigation into Hunter Biden and his business dealings and all of that. But…" Capt. Ed, "The DoJ needs extraordinary credibility to pull off a prosecution of a rival to the current president. And they’re pissing it away to protect the president’s son." Byron York at Front Page, When Investigators Won’t Investigate Joe Biden and sees "A serious allegation from a serious source". Althouse "In rare move, Grassley releases unverified FBI source report alleging Biden involvement in bribe..." "ABC News reports."

Matt Vespa at Town Hall, Dem Rep Says the Quiet Part Out Loud About Joe Biden During IRS Whistleblower Hearing "Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) deserves the dunce award today because he said the quiet part out loud, corroborating what Shapley alleged weeks ago: that the investigation into Hunter endured severe interference from DOJ because the roads could’ve led to Joe. Goldman opened the door during his questioning, which could have been worse if his time hadn’t expired."

PJM's Matt Margolis reports Dan Bongino Reveals the Latest Scuttlebutt on Cocainegate. “Let’s just say a friend called me up and said, ‘Don’t preclude the possibility that the cocaine found in the White House there was not accidentally left behind.’ In other words, it was left there deliberately for someone to find, and let you say someone else may have found it. So that’s the story I kind of heard from someone who may know a little something about something. We’ll see what happens, but they know who it is. I’m sure of it.”

Ace, Biden Moves His Campaign Headquarters To... His Actual Home In Delaware, "Why not just be more honest and move it to an adult care facility?" Dave Strom, Biden gets worse by the day.

At Althouse, "A reëlected Trump would be a President subject to no constraints at all..." "... having twice dodged congressional impeachment, and either beaten back the Justice Department and the courts or delayed so long that he could seek to use his regained executive powers to nullify the cases against him. Trump, in his ever-more-apocalyptic rhetoric surrounding his effort to retake the White House, has taken to calling his 2024 race 'the final battle.' I have increasingly come to believe that he is correct." Breitbart hears Donald Trump Jr it's a ‘Steep’ Learning Curve in Knowing Who to Surround Yourself with in D.C. when it's not your home turf.

Is Wokeness Infecting the Military? Readers contribute. Jazz Shaw reports the J6 "Bullhorn lady" has been convicted "But as with so many of these J6 trials that we’ve covered here, the choice of charges brought against her and the actual actions she took that day seem to be wildly mismatched.

From Am Con, Jason Aldean & Outlaw Country "State of the Union: The lawlessness of BLM and Outlaw Country are not the same." Capt. Ed comments "Rap music has a forty-year-plus track record of glamorizing violence, gangsters, misogyny, and so on — and no one pulls that music out of rotation, especially in the last couple of decades. The consensus was that the value of their artistic perspective outweighed the supposed risk of incitement, and that consensus is correct. Aldean deserves the same consideration, especially since the critics of his song apparently never bothered to read the lyrics." At Breitbart, Nashville Artist Austin Moody Credits Fans as His Anti-Woke Anthem Smashes into Top 5 On Country Charts.
