picture of Hunter with O at 5:19 pm on Apr 4, 2016. Confirmed by Obama visitor logs. Hunter was at White House for meeting at 4:15 pm, nominally 1 on 1 with VP. (Stayed over after large event at 3:15 pm). Three days after Poroshenko visit and Shokin firing.
2/ the large event attended by Hunter at 3:15 pm on Apr 4 was annual Greek Independence Day celebration. It was attended by 504 people including, somewhat anomalously, Hunter Biden.
3/ A Papadopoulos was invited, but it wasn't George. Tucked in among all the invited Greeks was familiar face - Victoria Nuland.
4/ also tucked in among all the Greek guests was Hunter Biden (who stayed afterwards) and another familiar name, but anomalous in this context - Alexandra Chalupa. Not previously known for her interest in Greek independence day.
5/ Joe Biden, New York Times, Washington Post and 235 former and current intelligence officials, who chose to remain anonymous, stated that picture of Obama and Hunter Biden in White House is conclusive proof of Russian disinformation, as Russia then had exclusive WH photo rights

remember the $5 million "loan" to Biden family from shady Chinese company that was news a couple of days ago. Bobulinksi's interview and Senate documents shed unexpected light.
2/ according to Bobulinski's email, as of Jul 27, 2017, CEFC was in discussion with Sinohawk for a $5 million loan, with the choice of JV projects and screening still under discussion. Watch what happens.
3/ on Aug 8, 2017, CEFC sent the $5 million NOT to Sinohawk but to Hudson West III, an entity controlled by Bidens directly. Hunter didn't use the $5 million for joint venture projects but instead paid it out to Owasco (Hunter's company) in "consulting" fees, not JV investment
Turns out that the Bidens' Bohai Harvest (BHR) was almost immediately involved in huge mining deal for Tengke Fungurume cobalt-copper mine in Congo. Breathtaking.
2/ In 1970s, I worked for then largest Canadian copper business and have known about this famous ore body all my working life. The deal for Biden's Bohai, as summarized (and I haven't crosschecked the summary against documents), is unlike any transaction that I've ever heard of.
3/ the author of this report stated that "this is cannot be considered a market-based transaction. BHR provided no value to the transaction". Sure looks that way to me as well.
on Jan 24, 2017, Danchenko and Flynn were interviewed more or less simultaneously. The terms under which Flynn, a veteran decorated for personal courage, and Danchenko, a Democrat spy who had been investigated previously as possible Russian spy, were very different.
2/ we learn from New York Times today what we suspected - that DOJ gave a grant of immunity to Danchenko - presumably coming from Democrat candyman David Laufman, who had previously given immunity to Hillary henchpersons Cheryl Mills, Huma Abedin etc
3/ Danchenko's immunity was given even though FBI/DOJ then did not know what role, if any, he had in fabrication of Steele dossier. Information from Danchenko was highly exculpatory of Trump because it showed massive fraud in Steele dossier.
I've been re-examining the fine-grained chronology of demands that Shokin be fired in light of frustrated Nov 2, 2015 email from Burisma more or less telling Hunter Biden to get something done on making the Burisma investigations disappear.
2/ it seems a remarkable coincidence, to say the least, that at exactly this time, the State Dept "independently" decided that it was US policy to remove Shokin - a policy that Joe Biden adopted instantly and with great enthusiasm.
3/ having re-read transcripts of Victoria Nuland and others, I get the sense that they arrived at these policies without direct instruction from Biden. Yet somehow they came up with a policy that was exactly what Burisma wanted, while professing that Shokin failed on Burisma
like many readers, I'm reading and dismayed by the FBI spreadsheet purportedly summarizing their analysis of Steele dossier. scribd.com/document/47978…
if incompetence, laziness and stupidity were crimes, then Comey's "right people" would all be in jail long ago.
2/ but, before further editorializing, let's consider FBI General Counsel James Baker's description of verification techniques, as told to Telegraph telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/02/1… (Episode 2, 15:42 ff). Always best to judge work product by their own standards and protocols.
3/ Baker observed that reliance on open source for verification was "tricky because source could have gotten information from open source as well, so you have to be wary". It doesn't take John LeCarre or James Jesus Angleton to figure that out. Yet spreadsheet abounds in examples
always lots of debate about US COVID numbers. Here's how I like to look at data: three panels: daily NewCases, hospitalizedCurrently and daily NewDeaths. Decline in NewCases and hospitalized in summer has seemingly stalled. Reason interesting,
2/ first wave was in NY, NJ area which subsided after ~8 weeks; then 2nd wave in southern states (FL,AZ, TX shown here). It had very similar case pattern but much lower hospitalizations and deaths. So why hasn't overall data also diminished as 2nd wave dissipates?
3/ there's a third pulse in more "remote" states in northern plains and midwest: ND, SD, MT, UT; also WI. Since populations small, 3rd pulse led to much lesser national increase. Even lower hospitalizations and deaths thus far then 2nd pulse, much lower than 1st pulse.
