When The FBI Does It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) today released internal Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) emails revealing the FBI suppressed intelligence of alleged Chinese interference in the 2020 election to insulate then-FBI Director Christopher Wray from criticism, after Wray provided inaccurate and contradictory testimony to Congress.
The FBI declassified and provided the requested records to Grassley, along with an accompanying cover letter, after Grassley initially received some information from whistleblower disclosures. The FBI emails offer an inside look at the Bureau’s decision to recall and suppress an Intelligence Information Report (IIR) from the FBI’s Albany Field Office on September 25, 2020. The IIR contained information from an FBI Confidential Human Source (CHS) alleging the Chinese government was producing “tens of thousands” of fraudulent drivers’ licenses to manufacture mail-in votes for then-presidential candidate Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
According to the FBI, these allegations, despite showing initial signs of credibility, were allegedly never fully investigated due to the FBI’s sudden and “abnormal” decision to halt the investigation and bury the IIR’s existence, preventing any additional FBI field offices, as well as other Intelligence Community elements, from accessing or studying the document. The FBI’s stated reason for doing so was because “the reporting will contradict Director Wray’s testimony.”

Blacklock’s- Can’t Verify Green Jobs: Feds
Two climate programs launched on a $300 million promise of new jobs and lower emissions could prove neither after seven years, says a Department of Natural Resources report. Managers “stopped collecting” data that would establish whether taxpayers received value for money, it said.

Dan Knight- Debt Costs Now Outpace Canada’s Core Services
The federal government is planning to spend $486.9 billion this year. Nearly half a trillion dollars. Of that, $222.9 billion needs Parliament’s approval. The rest? $264 billion is already baked in. It’s called “statutory spending,” and it’s automatic. No debate. No vote. No accountability. Ottawa wrote itself a blank cheque—and keeps cashing it, year after year.
Now here’s the headline no one wants to talk about: $49.1 billion of that spending goes just to service the debt.

Telegraph- Britain’s pubs are being ‘taxed out of existence’
There were more than 60,000 pubs in Britain at the turn of the millennium, but today that number has fallen by a quarter to 45,000, according to the BBPA. Publicans have had to put up with steeper taxes, the pandemic lockdowns, surging energy prices and, most recently, Rachel Reeves’s hike in National Insurance contributions on employers, which has pushed up staff costs. The BBPA estimates that £1 in every £3 taken at the bar goes straight to the taxman: of the surviving pubs and bars, one-third are operating at a loss as a result of being so heavily taxed, the UK Hospitality trade group reckons.

Latest FBI Revelations Show The Mueller Special Counsel Was A Cover-Up, And Much More
Last Wednesday, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released a recently declassified FBI “Electronic Communication,” or EC, dating from September 2019, which the Iowa Republican maintains “Proves Fusion GPS Contractor Nellie Ohr Lied To Congress About Contributions To Crossfire Hurricane.” That 43-page document, drafted by a FBI Washington Field Office agent, detailed extensive evidence indicating Nellie Ohr lied multiple times during her congressional testimony concerning the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into the Trump campaign.
The catalogue of evidence against Nellie Ohr, who is married to Bruce Ohr — one of the key FBI Russia-collusion hoaxers — raises the question of why the DOJ never pursued criminal charges against the Fusion GPS contractor. The EC also suggests that Nellie Ohr’s open-source research may have made its way into the Steele dossier and the fraudulent Alfa Bank materials provided to the FBI.
Those details, however, pale in comparison to two explosive facts the EC revealed by way of background. First, the EC explained the FBI’s Sentinel case management system allows investigative material to be coded “Prohibited Access,” which renders the files not merely inaccessible to other agents — but invisible to them. And second, Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team designated the Trump/Russia-collusion investigations “Prohibited Access” in Sentinel, meaning any agents running keyword search in Sentinel would wrongly believe there were no responsive documents.
Emphasis mine. Read it all.
New Rules
BREAKING: In a letter sent today, @AGPamBondi informed the American Bar Association that they will no longer enjoy “special access to judicial nominees.” The ABA will no longer be granted waivers allowing the ABA access to non-public information, and judicial nominees will no longer respond to questionnaires by the ABA or sit for interviews with the ABA.
Bondi explained: “…the ABA no longer functions as a fair arbiter of nominees’ qualifications, and its ratings invariably and demonstrably favor nominees put forth by Democratic administrations.”
