So, who gives to Joe Biden’s policy institute? The truth is we don’t know, and we won’t for a while. We may not know at all. The Biden Institute said they’re not disclosing anything when the former vice president assumes the presidency on January 20. This sounds eerily familiar with a certain former first lady and secretary of state who tried to run in 2016. You know that slush fund, I mean the charitable foundation that bears her name. Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden share a common issue regarding transparency over their networks (via Free Beacon):

The Biden Institute, a policy research center founded by Joe Biden at the University of Delaware, has no plans to disclose its donors after the president-elect takes office, Politico reported on Monday.

Legal experts and watchdog groups said the lack of transparency could create an ethical dilemma for Biden, particularly if he keeps his name on the institute and it continues to fundraise while he’s in the White House.

"They should at the very least disclose their donors, and I think the Biden family should at the very least take their name off if they’re going to continue to raise money," former George W. Bush administration chief ethics lawyer Richard Painter told Politico.

The Biden Institute, which had many of Biden’s incoming administration staffers on its payroll, is part of a network of foundations and policy centers that he established after his vice presidency.

The institute is currently in the middle of a large fundraising push to raise $20 million that is expected to continue well into Biden’s presidency.

Oh, Richard Painter, the former Bush ethics lawyer and favorite anti-Trump GOP guest on the liberal media circuit, is back. Actually, I think he’s a Democrat now but who are you kidding man? Biden’s won the election. The media throughout 2020 didn’t ask him real questions. When they did, he ignored them. He’s going to drag his feet for as long as possible in the hopes that the media moves on, which they probably will because that’s what they do. They protect Democratic presidencies, especially one as frail as this one. 

In 2016, the Clinton Foundation was under immense scrutiny for its position on donor disclosure, but Hillary was still running. She already had the reputation of being secretive, playing politics all the time, and thinking she lived by a separate set of rules. She was unlikable. And as it is with Biden, there are ethical concerns, especially when super-rich folks dump money into your foundation which leads to some event benefitting the parties who offered the cash. 

Columbia is a prime example. Hillary was against the Columbia Free Trade Agreement until Frank Giustra of Pacific Rubiales, an oil company, cut some checks to the Clinton Foundation. In fact, it was later discovered that over 1,100 foreign donations. There’s a reason why many saw the foundation as a favor bank for the wealthy and well-connected. Drop some money and call in the favor later. That’s the Clinton way. Will that be the same with Joe Biden? As we saw with Hunter Biden’s emails during the 2020 election, Joe isn’t squeaky clean. He’s involved in the access deals his son makes with government officials. He even appears to have intervened to protect those interests beneficial to only his family at the expense of American foreign policy initiatives. You saw that when he asked for a Ukrainian prosecutor to be fired, withholding aid money unless that occurred. It did. The prosecutor was looking into Burisma, an energy company, on corruption charges. His son Hunter was there making $50,000/month as a board member starting in 2014 but was reportedly there selling access to top Obama officials. With regards to China, that deal was hashed out from the VP’s office. It fell through in 2017, but Tony Bobulinski corroborated the account, turned over all documents and devices relating to that pitch to CEFC China Energy, and was interviewed by the FBI. To no one’s shock, CEFC has ties to the nation’s authoritarian government. Get paid first and then ask questions later appears to be the Biden family ethos. It’s not so different from the Clinton model.

Failed Trump challenger Hillary Clinton said she would “love” to see President Donald Trump’s phone records to see “whether he was talking to Putin the day that the insurgents invaded our Capitol” on January 6, making the remarks during a bonus episode of her podcast You and Me Both released Monday.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appeared as the featured guest on the bonus episode and discussed the series of events that occurred on January 6 — the day protesters breached the U.S. Capitol as Congress gathered to certify the electoral vote.

Clinton, one of the central champions of the debunked Trump-Russia collusion narrative that dominated the first years of Trump’s presidency, revealed her own suspicion that Trump could have been in contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the day of the protest.

“We learned a lot about our system of government over the last four years with a president who disdains democracy and, as you have said numerous times, has other agendas,” Clinton said.

“What they all are, I don’t think we yet know. I hope historically we will find out who he’s beholden to, who pulls his strings. I would love to see his phone records to see whether he was talking to Putin the day that the insurgents invaded our Capitol,” Clinton continued, also placing blame on Trump’s “enablers,” “accomplices,” and “cult members” — a likely reference to his supporters, whom she famously referred to as “deplorables” during her 2016 campaign:

“Do you think we need a 9/11-type commission to investigate and report everything that they can pull together and explain what happened?” Clinton asked the speaker, who responded, “I do.”

“To your point of who is he beholden to, as I’ve said over and over, as I said to him in that picture with my blue suit as I was leaving, what I was saying to him as I was pointing, rudely, at him: ‘With you, Mr. President, all roads lead to Putin,'” Pelosi told Clinton, referring to the January 6 events as a “gift to Putin” as he “wants to undermine democracy in our country and throughout the world.”

“And these people, unbeknownst to them, maybe, are Putin puppets. They were doing Putin’s business when they did that at the incitement of an insurrection by the president of the United States,” she added.

The probe led by former special counsel Robert Mueller famously found no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia — a finding following years of such allegations from prominent Democrats and establishment media outlets:

Top propagandists of the fake news narrative include CNN, BuzzFeed, the New York TimesWashington Post, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), and Hillary Clinton herself, as Breitbart News detailed.

By Dems’ logic, couldn't Obama and Biden be impeached and convicted for their actions in 2016 so they can never hold office again?

Isn't it pure abuse of power and obstruction of justice when an administration is so consumed with maintaining power that it uses the massive personnel and taxpayer resources to destroy their political opponent while protecting their chosen successor from prosecution no matter how many crimes she committed?

For some reason, I have never seen Pelosi, Schumer, Hoyer, Durbin, AOC and other Democrats asked the following questions no matter how many times they have been interviewed the last 4 1/2 years:

  • Is it OK that the DNC and Hillary paid a foreign national over $10 million to create a fictional dossier to take out Trump?
  • Is it OK that the DNC and Hillary campaign committed fraud by lying to the FEC that the money paid to a foreign source was for legal fees instead of telling the truth. (And Democrats say they are the party of truth over lies)
  • Is it OK that several FBI swamp creatures used this fake dossier when they continually lied to the FISA court in order to spy on people surrounding Trump as they allowed Hillary and her aides to get off scot free? (and the Democrats say that under them, the Justice Department operates independently and no one is above the law)
  • Is it OK that so many people in the Obama administration, including Biden himself, spent the two months after the 2016 election unmasking people and seeking to destroy people like Flynn instead of helping the Trump administration and having a peaceful transition of power?

As a matter of fact, I don't remember Obama, Biden or Hillary asked these same obvious questions no matter how many times they have been interviewed and kissed up to the last several years as to how great they are and were.

Isn't it shocking that most people pretending to be journalists seem to lack their curiosity gene when the criminal actions of the Obama administration in 2016 dwarfed Watergate or anything else in our lifetimes?

Or could it be that these supposed fact checkers are also so consumed in their efforts to campaign for and contribute to Democrats that they just don't care?

Aren't journalists worthless if they spend their time cheering for people of one party while seeking to destroy members of the other party no matter what either one says or does? Rooting for impeachment from the day Trump was elected certainly shows a lack of credibility and honesty.


Hillary Clinton, still in wild-eyed obssession about Trump and Putin

Has Hillary Clinton taken one too many walks in the woods?

She's starting to sound outright crazy, in a podcast with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

According to The Independent of London:

Former secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, and House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, have suggested that Donald Trump might have been in contact with Russian president Vladimir Putin on the day of the deadly riots at the US Capitol, and called for a “9/11-type commission” to investigate the events of 6 January.

Speaker Pelosi was in conversation with Ms Clinton for the podcast ‘You and Me Both’ on Monday, when the former secretary of state said she would love to see Mr Trump’s phone to see if he had been talking to Mr Putin on 6 January — the day of the riots.  

Ms Pelosi responded by saying “Putin wants to undermine democracy” of America and with Mr Trump “all roads lead to Putin”. She said the Capitol riots were a “gift to Putin” and the people who stormed the building were “Putin puppets.”
So it's like the Mueller special counsel probe, staffed 100% with Clinton partisan lawyers and effectively commissioned to Get Trump on Russia, which came up empty, never happened. 
 
Or the Inspector General's report, another bollixed-up failure for the Russia collusion crowd which noted significant FBI failures, vanished.
 
Or the Senate intelligence committee's report, once again finding no Trump-Russia collusion, even existed.
 
Huge amounts of time, extending nearly the length of the Trump presidency, as well as tens of millions of dollars ($35 million for the Mueller report alone) had been expended to prove that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians, yet they all came up with nothing, process crimes or unrelated crimes from a few officials at most.
 
The central charge, of Trump colluding with Putin was nothing but a made-up call, cooked up by Democrat operatives, based on assorted WikiLeaks, in a bid to deflect news of Clinton's security lapses from her illegally used private server and her emails. That was what the Ratcliffe report found and there have been others. Yet despite this invented narrative, shocking for its falsity against a president of the U.S, all that was ever exposed in the probes that followed was Hillary Clinton's own Russian collusions. Nothing, absolutely nothing, on Trump was ever found.
 
This claim is really old and a lot of water has passed under the bridge. Yet, Hillary still persists.
 
Even without those discrediting reports, the proof of its falsity can also be found in the Trump presidency.
 
The dirty little secret, as it was called, of the foreign policy crowd, as noted by CNN commentator Fareed Zakharia, was that Trump was hell on the Russians. 
You know, the dirty little secret about the Trump administration was that while Donald Trump had clearly had a kind of soft spot for Putin, the Trump Administration was pretty tough on the Russians. They armed Ukraine, they armed the Poles. They extended NATO operations and exercises in ways that even the Obama Administration had not done. 
Trump also expelled or refused to renew visas of hundreds of Russia's diplomats and foreign correspondents, seized Russia's consular properties, sanctioned Russian human rights violators, froze assets, armed the Ukrainians, and roadblocked the onetime superpower in huge ways on the Middle East which included undermining its longtime ally Iran.
 
Worse still for them, Trump achieved America's energy independence, which was a crushing economic blow for petrotyrant Putin. Joe Biden's plan to restore American energy dependence by shutting down fossil fuels is a big gift to the Russians, as is his plan to make nice with Iran. 
 
Do colluders deliver geostrategic death blows to their supposed patrons? Do they hire people like heavyweight Putin critic Fiona Hill? If you're colluding, presumably you'd help your puppetmaster, not cut them off at the knees. Trump did precisely the opposite of help Putin as president, and any credible diplomat knows that you watch what counterparties do, not what they say.
 
You'd think that as a former Secretary of State, Clinton would have a take that was more serious on that front. Diplomats know what happened. Hillary still thinks Trump had to be on the phone during the riots to take instructions from Putin. 
 
More disturbing still, as these investigations went on, the evidence piled up that both Clinton and her Democratic colleagues, did a lot of colluding with Russians on their own. The Clinton Foundation, for one, was rife with pay-to-play setups for access and influence on U.S. foreign policy, including the sale of U.S. uranium to Russia-aligned interests. As reporter John Solomon noted, Bill Clinton flew to Moscow to collect an "eye-popping" $500,000 for a single speech from Russian-linked interests. Meanwhile, the abandoned laptop of Biden's son Hunter revealed that a $3 million payment was delivered to Camp Biden by the wife of the mayor of Moscow, a known Putin ally, at whose funeral Putin eulogized.
 
Sound like Trump was the one colluding with the Russians? Is Hillary serious?
 
All of these events were big news when they happened, and yet still, Clinton is propagating the ridiculous, lunatic, utterly improbable claim that Trump was on the phone taking instructions during the Capitol riot from Putin.
 
It's the most unserious, baseless, lunatic claim, with zero evidence, and on the foreign policy front, zero probability. Yet still she persists, spewing out the most fantastical of utterly discredited tales -- to the third most powerful person in government, a woman who's just as truth-challenged as she. This person is a former Secretary of State? This woman she was making her claims to is the Speaker of the House? And the Speaker of the House was egging her on and nodding?
 
Anyone sane should shudder.
