GOP taking control of House, which starts in January, has the media/social media already concentrating on Hunter Biden instead of the current issues at the moment during the last days of the Democrats controlling both chambers and President. GOP game plan of wasting time is working so far with big time help from Manchin and Sinema.

I repeat: the committees investigating Trump and all the others have to make a massive dump of data in the next DAYS/HOURS before the GOP takes over and covers every track.
Let the American public and media have the data.
And Hunter Biden: send that frigging laptop to the office of McCarthy, and say so.

Just for the record, the FBI has the laptop, and has had it for almost 3 years.

Also for the record not only the "libtard" media like the New York Times and Washington Post passed on posting the pics. The notoriously radical leftist New York Post - a Murdoch rag - did as well. This is more performative "news" for the Q faithful.

Max Kennerly @MaxKennerly

That's it in a nutshell. The right-wing is still chaffed that "Hunter Biden's laptop" didn't work that Swift Boat magic, and they're (a) emotionally stuck on it and (b) desperate to manipulate as much media as it takes to ensure it works next time.

"More than 300 individuals on a leaked membership list of the far-right militia group the Oath Keepers described themselves as current or former employees of the Department of Homeland Security" - @POGOwatchdog reports
https://www.pogo.org/investigation/2022 ... list-shows

“This probably represents that the tip of the iceberg as far as federal law enforcement officers that have been involved in or supported the activities of far-right, militant groups like the Oath Keepers” fmr FBI agent Mike German (@RethinkIntel) told @POGOwatchdog

We found at least 2 current Secret Service agents who were members at the Oath Keepers at one point - including one who told the Oath Keepers that he is "a member and instructor on the Presidential Protective Division’s Counter Assault Team"

A Border Patrol agent - who said he teaches "advanced firearms and tactics" - told the Oath Keepers that “Most Border Patrol Agents are Oath Keepers, we just haven’t signed up yet.”
(He said he let his membership lapse & distanced himself from the group)

A former Secret Service agent whose name appears on the Oath Keepers membership list had his security clearance revoked by another agency for leaking confidential investigative information (there's no public info linking that to the Oath Keepers)

“It’s men like this on the inside who can and do provide information to expose what's going on,” Stewart Rhodes, founder & leader of the Oath Keepers wrote on his group’s blog in 2009, also noting that one of his friends works at DHS

"Law enforcement agents who have associations with groups that seek to undermine democratic governance pose a heightened threat because they can compromise probes, misdirecting investigations or leaking confidential investigative information to those groups"

.@DHSgov published a report in March 2022 that found that "the Department has significant gaps that have impeded its ability to comprehensively prevent, detect, and respond to potential threats related to domestic violent extremism within DHS.”

A number of the people on the leaked list we communicated with said they signed up initially thinking the group's aims were laudable, but then later decided not to maintain their involvement. Some said the group was too extreme

The Oath Keepers is just one militant group that causes concerns & the list @POGOwatchdog examined is 7 years old.

Our story recounts that the founder of the white supremacist group, The Base, formerly worked for DHS's Office of Intelligence & Analysis
We talked to Daryl Johnson (@DTAnalytics), author of DHS's 2009 report on far-right domestic terrorism threats

“This threat didn’t recede. It’s grown every year,” he told POGO. “We’re in a much more dangerous position now, and it’s not going to abate anytime soon.”

Some of the details of this scam are off the chain.

A Florida pastor and his son are facing federal fraud charges after being arrested for an alleged scheme that yielded millions from federal COVID-19 relief funds.

Evan Edwards and his son Joshua Edwards, 30, were taken into custody Wednesday from their home in New Smyrna, Florida, a coastal city some 50 miles northeast of Orlando. They are accused of attempting to bilk the government out of more than $8 million dollars in funds through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), which was launched as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES ACT) in March 2020, as the coronavirus pandemic was taking hold throughout the country.

The arrest comes almost two years after a federal civil complaint was filed in December 2020 implicating the entire family — Joshua, Evan, Evan’s wife Mary Ann Edwards, and daughter Joy Edwards — in the scheme.

Evan Edwards, who was born in Canada with the name Ian Heringa, had allegedly established the nonprofit Aslan International Ministry in Ohio in 2005. For years, he ran a Christian ministry operation in Turkey, a predominately Muslim country, before relocating to Florida.

Evan and Joshua Edwards allegedly began their federal aid fraud scheme as early as April 3, 2020, claiming that they needed millions of dollars in funds for payroll and other operating costs for the ministry.

According to prosecutors, nearly everything on the defendants’ loan application — signed by Joshua Edwards on behalf Aslan Ministry — was a lie, including claims that Aslan had more than $2.7 million in average monthly payroll costs, 486 employees, and past annual revenues of nearly $52 million in 2019 and $48 million in 2018. Although the application requested $6.9 million in loans, they were ultimately granted $8.4 million, according to court documents.

n truth and fact, as the conspirators then and there well knew, ASLAN’s average monthly payroll expenses were significantly lower,” the complaint says. This is likely because the “actual number of employees” at Aslan Ministry was “significantly lower [than 486], or entirely nonexistent.”

(...)

Starting in September 2020, federal investigators had found multiple clues that something was amiss: the Aslan Ministry offices in Florida, for example, were empty and showed no signs of ever having been occupied when investigators went to the listed address in September 2020. The family residence in New Smyrna Beach was similarly empty when agents executed a search warrant at the house days later.

“The residence appeared to have been cleared out, and no persons or vehicles were located at the residence,” the 2020 complaint said.

The family was found the next day, however, when the Edwards’ car — a Mercedes SUV — was spotted speeding on an interstate. Florida authorities pulled the car over, and found all four members inside. Evan said that the family was on the way to Texas for a conference, but could not provide any specifics.

What officials found next sounds like something out of a movie, complete with a bag used for concealing signals from mobile devices so they could not be traced:

Evan was in the front passenger seat with an opened box containing a laser printer on his lap. Also in plain view was an open, dark colored Faraday bag containing what appeared to be multiple laptops and tablets. In the rear passenger seat were two clear garbage bags containing what appeared to be shredded documents. In the rear cargo area, multiple suitcases were stacked from floor to the ceiling, along with a document shredder. The only viable seats in the vehicle that could be occupied were the front driver and passenger seats along with the rear driver side passenger seat and the rear center seat. The remainder of the vehicle was packed tightly with back packs and luggage.


A search of the vehicle revealed multiple backpacks containing external hard drives and USB drives, a shredder with a receipt showing it was purchased hours after U.S. Secret Service agents had tried to interview the Edwards at their home, business records, financial documents, credit cards, and “laptops, tablets, and a SunPass transponder which were packed into a Faraday bag inside another Faraday bag.”

Investigators also found evidence that the Edwards had each received $2,000 for Covid-19 relief from the Government of Canada, as well as another attempt to apply for yet another PPP loan for Aslan. The family members were taken into custody on an unrelated immigration charge, but released the next day.

Nevertheless, the investigation yielded results for the government: in April 2021, the Justice Department announced that it had recovered $8.4 million from the family.

You have to admit he has been successful; whatever people may think, he was president of the USA, and is a wealthy man.
Yet, his level of insecurity is off the scale. A mouse is more self-assured than this man.

Adam Mordecai, may or may not be notable
@advodude
14. This has nothing to do with his run for president. He licensed his brand to another Grifter. (Or possibly created a separate grift org to protect the money from being taken from the Trump Org which recently was found to have committed fraud.)
15. Tremendous Grift! HUGE GRIFT!
