The President and the Pandemic

  Trump should move to lift the unacceptable veil of bureaucratic secrecy and satisfy Solomon’s detailed demands immediately Controversial  investigative journalist -  John Solomon  – has been among the very few intrepid investigators leading the charge to get to the bottom of alleged Russian and Ukranian interference in the 2016 US Presidential election.  The story uncovered so far involves international intrigue and domestic spying that could allegedly end up on the Obama-Biden White House steps, at the doors of the Clinton and Kerry State Departments and in the hallowed halls of power of the Democratic National Committee. What is truly surprising is how little attention has been paid by the mass media to reporting this incredible, unfolding story which would sell more newspapers, attract more viewers and increase advertising revenue. Every investigative reporter’s curiosity should be aroused. Unearthing what could turn out to be the biggest political scandal ...

  “Lower-level officials”  and  “missteps” ? Was Trump indirectly spied on? Let’s just wait for Horowitz—then let the spin begin The mass media faces its day of judgment on 9 December when Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz releases his report into alleged spying on American citizens conducted by the FBI during the 2016 election.  The mass media has shown little interest in investigating allegations that an American citizen and Trump campaign staffer for a short period—Carter Page—and by extension—the Trump campaign Committee, candidate Trump, candidate designate Trump and then President Trump were spied on during: the Presidential campaign from late October 2016 to election day—November 8, 2016 the transition period between November 8 2016 until Trump was sworn in as President on 20 January 2017  the period Trump was President between January 20,  2017 and October 2017. The legal steps to enable such spying required four applications ...

  America’s national interest—and Yovanovitch’s personal safety—had been seriously compromised to help Clinton beat Trump The Obama-Kerry State Department at the height of the Presidential battle between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump deliberately covered up the involvement of Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden in the affairs of the Ukraine based company Burisma Holdings. Marie Yovanovitch revealed the extent of the cover up whilst giving evidence to the House Intelligence Committee. The State Department was preparing Yovanovitch for  her appearance  before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on 21 June 2016 to confirm her appointment as the next Ambassador to Ukraine. What the State Department told Yovanovitch to tell the Foreign Relations Committee in answer to any questions about Vice President Biden and Hunter Biden is set out in the following exchanges between Yovanovitch and House Intelligence Committee members Elise Stefanik and John Radcliffe: ...

  Know a man by the company he keeps The conduct and actions of Vice President Biden and his son Hunter Biden in Ukraine received a welcome airing on the first day of the House Intelligence Committee inquiry into impeaching President Trump. The evidence presented at the hearing on the Bidens was factual and deeply concerning. President Trump had not asked the Ukrainian President to  “make  up dirt ..lots of it , on this and on that”  on Vice President Biden as Committee Chairman Adam Schiff  had misleadingly claimed at an earlier hearing. Instead—the evidence offered a disturbing picture of the Vice President and his son knowingly allowing themselves to become involved with a dishonest and corrupt Ukrainian oligarch—Mykola Zlochevsky. State Department witness—George Kent—explained: “The primary concern of the US government since 2014 was Burisma’s owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, whose frozen assets abroad we had attempted to recover on Ukraine’s behalf. In early 2015 ...

  Pelosi’s failure to rein in Schiff and end the damage he is causing to America’s national interest will be another nail in the Democrats’ coffin as America swings into election mode. The continuing push by the Democrats to impeach President Trump—in the absence of any evidence of bipartisan support— is inimical to America’s national interest. World leaders assessing what is currently happening in the ongoing impeachment investigations could be tempted to go slow on—or simply stall—current negotiations being conducted with Trump whose occupancy of the White House they might consider uncertain.  Those leaders might also be encouraged to harden their negotiating positions to pursue an outcome less favourable to America than would otherwise have been possible without these impeachment hearings. The Democrat majority on the House Intelligence Committee under the Chairmanship of Adam Schiff is clearly ignoring the  warning  that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued on March...

  The Democrats are rapidly sinking in the quicksand of despair at the prospect of Trump winning another four years in office Democrats Collin Peterson (D- Minnesota) and Jefferson Van Drew (D-New Jersey) stand out like beacons warning 231 of their House Democrat colleagues of the rout that awaits them in 2020—after they voted to pass  House Resolution 660  to continue their partisan investigation into possibly impeaching President Trump —without gaining the support of any Republicans.  Peterson  warned  his fellow Democrats: “This impeachment process continues to be hopelessly partisan. I have been hearing from my constituents on both sides of this matter for months, and the escalation of calls this past week just shows me how divided our country really is right now. I have some serious concerns with the way the closed-door depositions were run, and am skeptical that we will have a process that is open, transparent and fair. Without support from Senate Rep...
