But, but HUNTER BIDEN’S LAPTOP, or something. This is getting fun to watch. I’m sure his die hard supporters will continue the mental gymnastics to defend Trump and company, but he seems to finally be slowly sinking and the rats are jumping off the ship.January 6th Committee to hold Public hearings all February, Tuesday to Friday, in Primetime, 8pm.

What is this the new HunterGhazi? Im not sure what that has to do with the Republican insurrection other than something they will try to pretend is a reality to distract from them trying like hell to cheat Americans out of their ability to vote.Rep. Comer to Newsmax: Vital to Investigate Hunter Biden Over Cobalt Deal
Rep. James Comer, the leading Republican on the House Oversight Committee, told Newsmax on Friday that it is vitally important that the National Archives release any information about Hunter Biden's alleged involvement in the sale of an African cobalt mine to a Chinese company in 2016, as the matter is one of vital national security.
"Hunter Biden, in one of his consulting firms, worked with China to be able to navigate a sale that never should have happened, a sale from an Arizona-owned company for that mine's cobalt in the Congo," the Kentucky lawmaker said in a panel discussion on Newsmax's "Wake Up America," about President Joe Biden's son.
"Hunter Biden just made the sale without any restrictions or any hesitation or any problem from the federal government," said Comer. "China is a threat to our national security, and at this time, the Obama administration was pushing more electric vehicles [and] cobalt is an essential component of making batteries for electric vehicles."
Last month, The New York Times reported the president's son was a part-owner in an investment firm involved in a Chinese conglomerate's $3.8 billion buyout of one of the world's largest cobalt deposits, located in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The sale makes the United States "even more dependent on China," and that means a "national security threat to the United States," Comer told Newsmax.
It also means that "Hunter Biden is a national security threat," said Comer.
"We want to preserve the documents so that when we have subpoena power, Hunter Biden can come before the House Republicans and explain exactly what happened," said Comer, noting a probe could happen in January 2023, "when the House flips and we can finally provide some type of oversight for the Biden administration."
Comer said Republicans on the committee want to know why the Obama Administration didn't intervene to stop the sale.
"We'll try to communicate with people from the Obama administration, but it just seems like any time Hunter Biden's involved in some money-making scheme, whether it's with the current Biden administration or the former Obama-Biden administration, he just gets a free path," said Comer. "We believe some of the artwork that he sold ended up in China. We're still working on that, but back to this cobalt.
But the Biden administration won't hold China accountable for the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic let alone for buying up companies to put the United States at an economic disadvantage, said Comer.

Yup, That is exactly what this is. Trump has always done exactly this tactic of distraction and obfuscation when questioned on his own misdeeds.What is this the new HunterGhazi? Im not sure what that has to do with the Republican insurrection other than something they will try to pretend is a reality to distract from them trying like hell to cheat Americans out of their ability to vote.
That will get a response.January 6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson announces that his committee is now investigating Trump and former Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen’s plot to “seize voting machines” in order to steal Biden’s win.
The Salon article they refer to:
Why not? We pretty much know most of the story already, the press has been well informed and next come the public hearings to nail down public testimony. Then interim reports and then a final report with criminal referrals to the DOJ along the way and at the end. The hot potato will be in Garland's hands then, but the leader of the criminal gang should have his head chopped off in NY by then and be in custody anyway. Garland will do Donald while he's already in prison, muzzled and perhaps even broke.The Salon article they refer to:
With new subpoenas, Jan. 6 committee closes in on its ultimate target: Donald Trump
Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and the others summoned this week had better be careful: They're walking into a trapwww.salon.com
The committee's chief said they want to wrap it up by early summer. This give the DOJ plenty time to review evidence and testimony before announcing its own investigations that can continue regardless who wins the elections for congress in November. Biden's administration will have another two years to do the legal heavy lifting before levying charges and scheduling court hearings for indictments. That work in the DOJ is already underway.
ATLANTA (AP) — Judges have approved a request for a special grand jury by the Georgia prosecutor who’s investigating whether former President Donald Trump and others broke the law by trying to pressure Georgia officials to throw out Joe Biden’s presidential election victory.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis last week sent a letter to county superior court Chief Judge Christopher Brasher asking him to impanel a special grand jury. Brasher issued an order Monday saying the request was considered and approved by a majority of the superior court judges.
The special grand jury is to be seated May 2 for a period of up to a year, Brasher’s order says. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Robert McBurney is assigned to supervise and assist the special grand jury.
Willis wrote in her letter to Brasher that her office “has received information indicating a reasonable probability that the State of Georgia’s administration of elections in 2020, including the State’s election of the President of the United States, was subject to possible criminal disruptions.” She said her office has “opened an investigation into any coordinated attempts to unlawfully alter the outcome of the 2020 elections in this state.”

The special grand jury “shall be authorized to investigate any and all facts and circumstances relating directly or indirectly to alleged violations of the laws of the State of Georgia, as set forth in the request of the District Attorney,” the order says.

Willis has declined to speak about the specifics of her investigation, but in an interview with The Associated Press earlier this month she confirmed that its scope includes — but is not limited to — a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a November 2020 phone callbetween U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham and Raffensperger, the abrupt resignation of the U.S. attorney in Atlanta on Jan. 4, 2021, and comments made during December 2020 Georgia legislative committee hearings on the election.
In a statement last week, Trump called his call to Raffensperger “perfect” and said he did not say anything wrong. Graham has also denied any wrongdoing.
Special grand juries, which are not used often in Georgia, can help in the investigation of complex matters. They do not have the power to return an indictment but can make recommendations to prosecutors on criminal prosecutions.
Willis wrote in her letter that the special grand jury is needed because it can serve for longer than a normal grand jury term, which is two months in Fulton County. It also would be able to focus on this investigation alone, allowing it to focus on the complex facts and circumstances. And having a special grand jury would mean the regular seated grand jury would not have to deal with this investigation in addition to their regular duties, Willis wrote.
Willis’ investigation became public last February when she sent letters to top elected officials in Georgia instructing them to preserve any records related to the general election, particularly any evidence of attempts to influence election officials. The probe includes “potential violations of Georgia law prohibiting the solicitation of election fraud, the making of false statements to state and local government bodies, conspiracy, racketeering, violation of oath of office and any involvement in violence or threats related to the election’s administration,” the letters said.
