Bill Barr Says Corrupt DOJ “Did a Good Job Prosecuting” Danchenko Who Was Found Innocent on All Counts

 

Bill Barr joined the Trump Administration and picked up where Jeff Sessions left off. Sessions allowed the corrupt Mueller exam to continue in its attempted coup of President Trump. Then Bill Barr reportedly stopped it, but this was just a ruse.

 

Barr allowed the bogus first impeachment to take place. The entire case was a sham. An individual that was never identified made false accusations against the President about Ukraine where the Bidens, Clintons, George Soros, and others made lots of money over the years. President Trump hinted at looking into this and he was impeached.

 

Barr did nothing when Jeffrey Epstein was killed in jail. He claimed it was a suicide when all the evidence led to murder.

 

Barr ignored the stolen election and claimed he looked into it but evidence now shows that this was a lie.

 

Barr set up the investigation into the attempted coup of President Trump but no one has been held accountable. Sedition and treason are serious crimes and Barr allowed the perpetrators of these crimes to walk away unaccounted for. One former FBI attorney got his hand slapped but that is it.

 

This past week another bogus case concluded related to the attempted coup of the Trump Administration and another bogus result.

 

Daily Caller reported:

 

Former Attorney General Bill Barr expressed disappointment Wednesday over the acquittal of Igor Danchenko, a key source in the Steele Dossier.

 

A federal jury found Danchenko not guilty on four counts of making false statements to the FBI regarding to the information he gave former British spy Christopher Steele’s Orbis Business Solutions. The now-discredited Steele dossier claimed that former President Donald Trump’s campaign conspired with Russia to influence the 2016 election.

 

“I was disappointed, obviously,” Barr said. “I think they did a good job prosecuting the case. Their ability to put evidence on in a very difficult case was limited by some rulings and they weren’t able to get access to witnesses overseas. So it was a tough case and this should show people that it’s hard to win these cases and sometimes to achieve justice. But, as people say, and as Andy McCarthy said, real public interest was being served here by exposing full corruption that was involved here in the Russia case and the abuse of the FBI and that whole episode.”

 

Bill Barr, we all are disappointed.

Civil court jury finds Kevin Spacey did not molest actor Anthony Rapp in 1986

 

A jury has concluded that Kevin Spacey did not molest actor Anthony Rapp, then 14, while both were relatively unknown actors in Broadway plays in the 1980s.

Key points:

 

A jury sided with Kevin Spacey and found he did not sexually abuse Anthony Rapp

It was alleged the actor tried to seduce Mr Rapp in a bedroom at a party in 1986

Mr Spacey's lawyers suggested Mr Rapp imagined or made up the encounter

 

The verdict came on Thursday, local time, after a three-week trial in Manhattan federal court.

 

Jurors deliberated for a little more than an hour before deciding that Mr Rapp hadn't proven his allegations.

 

When the verdict was read, Spacey dropped his head.

 

He then hugged lawyers and others before leaving the courtroom.

 

That lawsuit — based on 2017 claims by Mr Rapp — sought $40 million in damages.

 

During the trial, Mr Rapp had testified that Mr Spacey invited him to his apartment for a party, then approached him in a bedroom after the other guests left.

 

He said the actor, then 26, picked him up and briefly laid on top of him on a bed.

 

Mr Rapp testified that he wriggled away and fled as an inebriated Mr Spacey asked if he was sure he wanted to leave.

 

In his sometimes-tearful testimony, Mr Spacey told the jury it never happened, and he never would have been attracted to someone who was 14.

 

In his closing statements to the jury, Mr Rapp's lawyer, Richard Steigman, accused Mr Spacey of lying on the witness stand.

 

"He lacks credibility," Mr Steigman said.

 

"Sometimes the simple truth is the best. The simple truth is that this happened," he said.

 

Mr Spacey's lawyer, Jennifer Keller, told jurors that Mr Rapp made up the encounter and said they should reject Mr Rapp's claims.

 

During her closing argument, she suggested reasons Mr Rapp imagined the encounter with Spacey or made it up.

 

Mr Rapp, 50, and Mr Spacey, 63, each testified over several days at the three-week trial.

Supreme Court Refuses To Block Biden’s Billion-Dollar Student Loan Forgiveness Scheme

 

Update (10/20/22 1700ET): US Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett rejected a bid to block President Joe Biden’s student-loan relief plan before it takes effect in the coming days.

 

Giving no explanation, Barrett denied a request filed Wednesday by the Brown County Taxpayers Association, a Wisconsin group that sought to keep the plan on hold while its legal challenge goes forward.

 

As Bloomberg reports, Barrett chose not to refer the matter to the full court or seek a response from the administration, suggesting she didn’t view the emergency request as a close call.

 

But with at least five lawsuits challenging the plan, including two filed by Republican-led states, the rebuff isn’t likely to be the final word.

Computer repair shop owner sues for defamation — Hunter Biden, CNN, Joe Biden's presidential campaign all named in suit

 

The computer repair shop owner embroiled in the bombshell Hunter Biden laptop story that the New York Post broke just before the 2020 presidential election filed a defamation lawsuit in a Delaware court on Monday, and he named several high-profile figures and news outlets as defendants.

 

According to a report from Margot Cleveland of the Federalist, John Paul Mac Isaac, owner of the Mac Shop, has filed suit against Hunter Biden, the Joe Biden 2020 presidential campaign, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), CNN, and Politico for defamation, civil conspiracy, and civil aiding and abetting.

 

The lawsuit involves the many accusations made in October and early November 2020 that the laptop story — which implicated Hunter Biden in immoral, and perhaps illegal, behavior — was "Russian disinformation" designed to thwart then-candidate Joe Biden's bid for the White House.

 

On the debate stage, Joe Biden famously asserted: "There are 50 former national intelligence folks who said that what [Donald Trump]’s accusing me of is a Russian plant. Five former heads of the CIA, both parties, say what he’s saying is a bunch of garbage. Nobody believes it except his good friend Rudy Giuliani."

 

Schiff then appeared on CNN and insisted that "we know that this whole [laptop] smear on Joe Biden comes from the Kremlin."

 

Politico also ran an article with the headline "Hunter Biden Story is Russian Disinfo, Dozens of Former Intel Officials Say," implying that Isaac was "part of a Russian disinformation campaign" or was perhaps even "a Russian agent," the lawsuit states.

 

After President Biden was inaugurated a few months later though, several outlets began to admit that the laptop story had merit after all, even as Hunter Biden himself claimed that he did not know whether the laptop was even his.

 

"There could be a laptop out there that was stolen from me," Hunter told CBS News. "It could be that I was hacked. It could be that it was the — that it was Russian intelligence. It could be that it was stolen from me."

 

According to the lawsuit, all of these accusations of Russian disinformation have had a catastrophic effect on Isaac's business and personal life.

 

The defendants suggested that Isaac "committed an infamous crime, i.e., treason and/or other crimes against the United States of America by participating in a Russian attempt to undermine American democracy and the 2020 Presidential election," the lawsuit states. And Isaac has suffered continual "distrust, scorn, ridicule, hatred, and contempt" from others as a result.

 

Isaac claims that each defendant knew that allegations of "Russian disinformation" were false and yet spread them anyway.

 

Isaac had already filed — and then deliberately withdrew — a similar suit against Schiff, CNN, Politico, and the Daily Beast in a Maryland court earlier this year. Isaac then reached an undisclosed settlement with the Daily Beast.

 

However, Cleveland believes that this new case in Delaware "proves promising" and gives three reasons for her optimism.

 

First, several outlets have since authenticated the laptop. "Now that the world has a better understanding of the legitimacy of the Hunter Biden laptop story, it is clear that there was a concerted effort to kill the story by defaming John Paul and others,” said Della Rocca, Isaac's attorney.

 

Cleveland also noted that suing both Hunter Biden and Joe Biden's campaign could help uncover any attempts by the Biden family to convince media outlets to spike the story in fall 2020. And since the Biden campaign, rather than Joe Biden himself, has been named, the lawsuit may proceed, even while Biden remains in office.

 

Cleveland also expressed hope that discovery might unearth attempts by federal agents and/or Democrat operatives to spin the story as "Russian disinformation" to the media, especially Big Tech.

Mike Pence Knocks Trump 2024 Run, Says There May Be ‘Somebody Else I’d Prefer More’

 

"If Donald Trump is the Republican nominee for president in 2024, will you vote for him," Pence was asked.

 

Former President Donald Trump’s Vice President suggested he would not support Trump in a 2024 presidential run.

 

Mike Pence, speaking at a Georgetown University event Wednesday, was asked “if Donald Trump is the Republican nominee for president in 2024, will you vote for him?”

 

Pence’s weak response comes as rumors have arisen that the former Vice President is planning a 2024 run himself.

 

During the Trump administration, Pence was very loyal to Donald Trump up until the January 6th protests. Pence began to lash out against Trump in the wake of January 6th, criticizing any narrative that questioned the integrity of the 2020 election.

 

The former Vice President has also knocked Republicans who are not fully supportive of continued aid to Ukraine. Speaking at a Heritage Foundation event, Pence reassured his support for U.S. foreign aid to Ukraine after House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said the House will not issue a “free blank check” to the Ukrainian war effort.

 

“We must continue to provide Ukraine with the resources to defend themselves,” Pence proclaimed.

 

“We must continue to bring economic pressure of the most powerful economy in the world on Russia. And we must continue to provide the generosity, compassion, and prayers of the American people until Russia relents and until peace is restored.”

 

McCarthy made his anti-Ukraine comments Tuesday. The House Minority leader suggested the economy is a more important issue to Americans.

 

“I think people are gonna be sitting in a recession and they’re not going to write a blank check to Ukraine,” McCarthy told Punchbowl News. “I think people are gonna be sitting in a recession and they’re not going to write a blank check to Ukraine.”

Mexico Sues US Gun Industry in US Courts a Second Time

 

The government of Mexico is suing five U.S. gun sellers in U.S. courts in Arizona, claiming the U.S. businesses are illegally engaging in arms trafficking for cartels in that crime-ravaged country.

 

The new lawsuit comes after a federal judge in Massachusetts threw out a $10 billion lawsuit on Sept. 30 that Mexico brought against arms makers including Smith & Wesson that claimed U.S. companies deliberately undermined that country’s draconian gun laws by making “military-style assault weapons” that found their way to drug cartels and criminals.

 

The judge in that case found that the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) of 2005 “unequivocally bars lawsuits seeking to hold gun manufacturers responsible for the acts of individuals using guns for their intended purpose.” The PLCAA was enacted to protect the industry from frivolous lawsuits filed against businesses related to crimes they did not commit.

 

Mexico is appealing the dismissal, as The Epoch Times reported.

 

Critics say Mexico is exploiting U.S. laws in an effort to cripple the U.S. firearms industry and weaken the Second Amendment protections Americans enjoy.

 

The new legal action (pdf), Estados Unidos Mexicanos v. Diamondback Shooting Sports Inc., court file 22-cv-00472, was filed in U.S. District Court in Tucson, Arizona. Apart from Diamondback, the other defendants are SNG Tactical LLC, Loan Prairie LLC doing business as The Hub, Ammo A-Z LLC, and Sprague’s Sports Inc.

 

The government of Mexico issued a press release claiming the Arizona-based gun dealers “systematically participate in arms trafficking, including of military-style weapons, for criminal organizations in Mexico” by engaging in “sales to straw purchasers and sales meant for arms smugglers.”

 

The lawsuit “is part of a multifaceted strategy to stop the avalanche of guns into Mexico, particularly assault weapons, which equip criminal groups and lead to bloodshed in the country.”

 

According to Mexico, the five stores it is targeting are “the Arizona dealers whose guns are most frequently recovered in Mexico.”

 

“Defendants choose to sell guns using reckless and unlawful practices, despite the foreseeability–indeed, virtual certainty–that they are thereby helping cause deadly cartel violence across the border,” the legal complaint states. “Defendants engage in these reckless and unlawful actions because it makes them money. This lawsuit intends to hold them accountable, and make them stop.”

 

The press release states that the lawsuit “in no way challenges the Constitutional right of U.S. citizens to bear arms, nor the right of stores to sell their products responsibly and lawfully. The lawsuit addresses a cause shared by both countries, whose citizens suffer from illicit firearms practices.”

 

Mexico is arguing that the sellers “do not comply with required safeguards; cause foreseeable damage; use misleading and tendentious advertising; sell guns that are turned into automatic weapons; cause a disturbance of public order, and violate state and federal laws, causing enormous damage in Mexico.”

 

Jonathan Lowy of U.S-based Global Action on Gun Violence is part of Mexico’s legal team. Lowy previously worked for another anti-gun group, the Brady Campaign. Global Action has filed paperwork with the U.S. Department of Justice to register as agents of Mexico under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, Politico reported on Oct. 17. Lowy refused to tell Politico who is funding his group.

 

Larry Keane, Senior Vice President and General Counsel of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, an industry group, told gun news website The Reload earlier this month, that Mexico’s legal efforts against the U.S. firearms industry were “misguided and baseless.”

 

“The crime that is devastating the people of Mexico is not the fault of members of the firearm industry, that under U.S. law, can only sell their lawful products to Americans exercising their Second Amendment rights after passing a background check,” Keane said.

 

Licensed gun dealers and manufacturers in the United States should not be held responsible “for Mexico’s unwillingness and inability to bring Mexican drug cartels to justice in Mexican courtrooms,” he said.

Russian governor’s son detained in EU after US request

 

US Department of Justice suspects the detainee and several others of evading anti-Russia sanctions

 

Two Russian nationals who are alleged to have helped Moscow evade American sanctions to obtain military and dual-use technologies, have been detained in the EU at the behest of the US. Alexander Uss, the governor of Russia’s Krasnoyarsk region and the father of one of the suspects, has described the case launched by the American authorities against the two as “clearly” politically motivated.

 

On Wednesday, the US Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of New York issued a statement, according to which it had brought charges against five Russian nationals, two of whom, Yury Orekhov and Artem Uss, had been arrested in Germany and Italy respectively.

 

The US authorities claim the group had crafted a scheme, whereby its members purchased “advanced semiconductors and microprocessors used in fighter aircraft, missile systems, smart munitions, radar, satellites” and sold them on to sanctioned Russian entities via a German-based shell company named Nord-Deutsche Industrieanlagenbau GmbH (NDA GmbH). These goods allegedly ended up in the hands of the Russian defense industry, and were supposedly later found in captured Russian hardware in Ukraine.

 

Moreover, the Russian nationals in question, acting in cahoots with several Venezuelan citizens, presumably used NDA GmbH “as a front to smuggle hundreds of millions of barrels of oil from Venezuela to Russian and Chinese purchasers, including a Russian aluminum company controlled by a sanctioned oligarch.”

 

If found guilty, the suspects could face up to 30 years each behind bars, the document revealed.

 

Commenting on the arrest of his son on his Telegram channel on Thursday, Governor Uss of Krasnoyarsk region wrote: “The delivery of petrochemicals, free-for-all equipment and technical means, which are freely sold and bought the world over, is all of sudden being declared illegal by US authorities.” “Why?” the official asked rhetorically, and answering his own question straight away: “Simply because it is being done for the benefit of Russia.”

 

“Political overtones are obvious in these accusations,” Uss concluded.

 

The news of the charges being brought against Russian citizens coincided with the arrest of a 47-year-old Russian national in Norway. Authorities in the Scandinavian country accused Andrey Yakunin of illegally flying a drone from his luxury yacht. The man is the eldest son of Vladimir Yakunin, the former boss of state-owned Russian Railways.
