Senate chairman subpoenas FBI Director, ex-State official as Russia-Ukraine probe intensifies

A powerful Senate committee chairman has subpoenaed FBI Director Chris Wray and a former State Department official in an intensifying investigation into possible U.S. corruption in Russia and Ukraine and declared there is evidence Joe Biden's family engaged in a "glaring conflict of interest." Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson announced the actions Monday, strongly accusing Democrats of levying false allegations against him and other GOP investigators to distract from the evidence his committee has gathered about Joe and Hunter Biden's dealings in Ukraine. "We didn't target Joe and Hunter Biden for investigation; their previous actions had put them in the middle of it," Johnson wrote in a letter released Monday that provided a detailed timeline of Joe Biden's Ukraine policy actions and his son's hiring with the Ukraine natural gas company Burisma Holdings. "Many in the media, in an ongoing attempt to provide cover for former Vice President Biden, continue to repeat the mantra that there is 'no evidence of wrongdoing or illegal activity' related to Hunter Biden's position on Burisma's board," the senator wrote. "I could not disagree more."

Johnson noted evidence gathered by his committee showed Joe Biden met with his son's business partner, Devon Archer, in April 2014 and within a month the vice president then visited Ukraine and both his son Hunter and the business partner were put on the Burisma board as the firm faced multiple corruption investigations. "Isn't it obvious what message Hunter's position on Burisma's board sent to Ukrainian officials?" Johnson asked. "The answer: If you want U.S. support, don't touch Burisma. It also raised a host of questions, including: 1) How could former Vice President Biden look any Ukrainian official (or any other world leader) in the face and demand action to fight corruption? 2) Did this glaring conflict of interest affect the work and efforts of other U.S. officials who worked on anti-corruption measures?" Sources familiar with Johnson's investigation say the committee has secured testimony from at least one State Department official who worked in Ukraine saying the Bidens' conduct created the appearance of a conflict of interest and undercut U.S. efforts to fight corruption in Kiev. Johnson also divulged that late last week he issued a formal subpoena to Wray demanding he immediately surrender records from the Russia collusion probe that the committee has been seeking for months. The subpoena gives Wray until 5 p.m. on Aug. 20 to comply and demands all records from the probe known as Crossfire Hurricane, including those provided for a damning report by the Justice Department inspector general.

Johnson also announced his committee has prepared a subpoena for Jonathan Winer, a former Obama State Department official who had extensive contact with British intelligence operative Christopher Steele, the author of a flawed dossier that helped propel the FBI probe into now disproven Trump-Russia collusion. "Mr Winer's counsel has not responded since Thursday as to whether he would accept service of the subpoena," Johnson said. "If he does not respond by tomorrow, we will be forced to effect service through the U.S. Marshals. More subpoenas can be expected to be issued in the coming days and weeks." Johnson and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley have been pursuing a two-track investigation for more than two years, examining both failures and corruption in the FBI's Russia probe as well as the issue of the Bidens' conflicts in Ukraine.

59% Think Biden Unlikely to Finish A Four-Year Term in White House

Likely Democrat nominee Joe Biden is expected to announce his vice presidential running mate any day now, and most voters think it’s likely that person will be president within the next four years if Biden is elected in November. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 59% of Likely U.S. Voters believe it’s likely Biden’s running mate will be president before the end of Biden’s four-year term if he wins this fall, with 39% who say it’s Very Likely. Thirty-five percent (35%) consider it unlikely that Biden’s vice presidential choice will be president before his four-year term ends, but that includes only 14% who think it’s Not At All Likely. Even 49% of Democrats think it’s likely Biden’s vice president will become president in the next four years, although that compares to 73% of Republicans and 57% of voters not affiliated with either major party.

However, only 45% of all voters say Biden’s choice of a running mate is important to their vote this fall, including 23% who say it’s Very Important. This compares to 76% who say generally speaking that a candidate’s vice presidential nominee is important to their vote, with 34% who feel it’s Very Important. But then just over half of voters continue to say they’re likely to vote against President Trump this fall, and a sizable majority of those voters don’t seem to care who runs against him. The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted August 6 and 9, 2020 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology. Thirty-eight percent (38%) of voters, including 20% of Democrats, believe Biden, who would be 78 if he takes office in January, is suffering from some form of dementia. Sixty-one percent (61%) think it is important for him to address the dementia issue publicly. Democrats (59%) attach more important to Biden’s running mate than Republicans (32%) and unaffiliated voters (43%) do.

The younger the voter, the more convinced they are that Biden is unlikely to finish a four-year term if elected president. But most voters in nearly every demographic category think it’s likely his running mate will become president in the next four years. Biden has promised to name a black woman as his vice president, so it’s not surprising that his choice is more important to blacks than to whites and other minority voters. Blacks and other minorities are much more convinced that Biden’s running mate will assume the presidency within the next four years. Fifty-three percent (53%) of voters who Strongly Disapprove of the job Trump is doing say Biden’s selection of a running mate is important to their vote. Just 28% of those who Strongly Approve of the president’s job performance agree.

Biden who has yet to be formally nominated by the Democratic Party continues to hold a narrow advantage over Trump in Rasmussen Report’s latest weekly White House Watch survey. Sixty percent (60%) of Democrats think it is important for Biden’s running mate to be a women or a person of color.

Hackers Target Police Departments Nationwide as Left Demands Doxing of Law Enforcement

As anti-police activists around the country demand the doxing of law enforcement, one group is stepping up to answer the call. Malicious hackers have targeted more than twenty police departments and law enforcement organizations across the country in the past two months, releasing identifying information that could jeopardize the safety of tens of thousands of officers, Breitbart News has learned. Anonymous hackers have published information on employees of numerous Southern California police departments, including the Los Angeles Police Department and L.A. County Sheriff’s Office. They have also published the internal passwords for employees of Maryland’s Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services, which oversees the state’s prison system. In another case, hackers offered to find the personal and work email addresses of Minneapolis Police Department employees, including the department’s chief spokesman. It remains unclear if anyone has taken up their offer.

In the files and message board posts reviewed by Breitbart News, the hackers didn’t ask for money, suggesting that their motive isn’t financial. Instead, some appear to have political or ideological reasons. The most active of the hacking groups, which goes by the name “Kelvin Security,” has doxed members of the Trump family, revealing email addresses and phone numbers for the president and first lady. The data breaches come as left-wing activists are amping up calls to dox law enforcement, especially those officers who have been brought in to put an end to weeks of violent rioting in cities including Portland, Louisville, and Seattle. Federal officials revealed last week that 38 officers were doxed in Portland, leading to the removal of identifying badges on uniforms. Doxing is the search for and publishing of private or identifying information about someone, usually with malicious intent. Doxing has become a tool of the mainstream left, which has launched an all-out offensive against law enforcement in concert with groups like Black Lives Matter and Antifa. “To target or share private information about a police officer simply because of their profession is especially disturbing,” said New York State Senator Patrick M. Gallivan (R) in a statement to Breitbart News. Gallivan recently introduced a bill that would criminalize the doxing of police officers in New York. “As a former New York State Trooper and twice elected county sheriff, I am dismayed by what we have seen over the past several months. The unwarranted attacks on law enforcement officers across the country should be a concern of all law-abiding citizens. We have to do more to protect our police officers at every level if we expect them to protect our communities and our citizens.”

Anti-law enforcement rhetoric has become increasingly heated, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) calling federal agents “storm troopers” and actress-activist Alyssa Milano smearing members of the NYPD as the “Gestapo.” Left-wing activist and the Weekly List podcaster Amy Siskind has demanded that doxers target not only federal officers but also their families. “It would be helpful if we could start to identify these storm troopers,” she tweeted, telling her followers to go after “maybe a wife and family. They should be publicly named.” Police departments normally don’t publicize the names or contact information of officers for security reasons. But their information networks tend to lack the same level of security used in corporate environments, leaving them vulnerable to bad actors, according to one information security specialist who asked to remain anonymous.

One of the largest data dumps in recent weeks has targeted multiple police departments in Southern California. Hackers have released the names, email addresses, and job titles of officers in the LAPD, L.A. County Sheriff’s Office, Santa Monica Police, Long Beach Police, California Highway Patrol, and more. The file contains information on more than 14,000 officers in the L.A. metropolitan area, as well as members of the FBI and the L.A. District Attorney’s Office. Hackers posted the data on June 26, which was around the time when L.A. was in the midst of intense anti-police protests and riots. When contacted by phone and email, an LAPD spokesman declined to comment.

Wikipedia Editors Censor Evidence Exonerating Michael Flynn

On Wikipedia articles about former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, editors have worked to exclude or downplay evidence cited by the Justice Department in support of dismissing charges that claim Flynn knowingly made materially false statements to the FBI regarding conversations with a Russian Ambassador. Such evidence includes FBI agents believing he was not lying and Flynn only pleading guilty after prosecutors threatened to go after his son. Editors have also tried to slant Wikipedia content on the case and presented as fact false claims that FBI agents concluded Flynn was merely committed to his “lies” rather than believing he was telling the truth as he understood it. Some editors have dismissed the Justice Department’s claims by characterizing Trump’s DOJ as a “fringe” source. Questions about the false statement charges against Flynn have been the latest controversial development this year concerning the Russian collusion investigation into Trump and his associates, which ultimately debunked collusion claims. A DOJ review conducted by U.S. Attorney Jeff Jensen found undisclosed evidence suggesting the FBI interview of Flynn about his conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak on sanctions imposed against Russia served no investigative purpose in the probe, but was instead about getting Flynn to lie so he could be fired or prosecuted. Based on this and previous evidence, the Justice Department moved to dismiss the charges, setting off an ongoing legal battle as presiding Judge Emmett Sullivan took the unusual step of appointing an ex-judge to challenge the motion.

Amidst the court battle, Wikipedia pages relating to Flynn and his case have also been subject to a fight over what evidence favorable to Flynn should be mentioned. In late April, FBI notes prior to Flynn’s interview were revealed showing a senior FBI official asked of the planned interview, “What’s our goal? Truth/Admission or to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired?” One editor cited coverage about the notes in the Washington Post and NPR, both considered “reliable” on Wikipedia, to include in the intro to Flynn’s page concerns from Flynn and his lawyers about the FBI interview being a form of entrapment. Travis Mason-Bushman, whose current account is “NorthBySouthBaranof” on Wikipedia, attempted to label these allegations “conspiracy theories” and otherwise downplay them. When this label was rejected, Bushman removed the paragraph. Mentioning the FBI notes in the body of the article was also rejected. When subsequent discussion appeared to show support, mention of the notes was restored, but the editor who added it agreed to remove it again after being threatened with sanctions by an editor who argued support was insufficient to find “consensus” for the material. When another attempt to restore material about the notes to Flynn’s page was rejected, another discussion started. Left-wing editors argued the information was trivial or “fringe” and mockingly compared it to mentioning celebrity flatulence. After an attempt to add a section on entrapment allegations mentioning the notes was rejected, a prolonged discussion sought to resolve the dispute. Again left-wing editors stated the information was trivial with editor “Valjean” even arguing the narrative about the notes was “part of a cover-up” and insisted, “Nothing coming from Trump’s Justice Department, FBI, CIA, anything, can be trusted.” Valjean as “BullRangifer” was previously involved in slanting articles about the Russia investigation.
