Appeals Court Upholds Bribery Conviction For Chinese Think Tank Official Linked To Hunter Biden

CEFC paid Hunter $1 million to represent Ho, who was also the target of a FISA. dailycaller.com/2020/12/29/pat…
Nobody knows what Hunter did for Patrick Ho’s legal defense, especially to warrant $1 million. He’s not listed on court filings and wasn’t at Ho’s trial.
Here's Patrick Ho at an event next to former CIA director James Woolsey in 2017. Ho's think tank gave $350k to a think tank founded by Woolsey and Reagan national security adviser Robert McFarlane.
And at another event earlier in 2017. Ho and Woolsey (far left) were closer than I thought

Fusion GPS has racked up millions in legal fees from lawsuits and congressional probes. But who has paid for it?

A non-profit funded heavily by LinkedIn founder REID HOFFMAN coughed up at least $620,000, per IRS filings. dailycaller.com/2020/12/21/fus…
Hoffman appears to have a penchant for misinformation projects. He contributed $100k to the Alabama senate "false flag" operation in 2017.

The firm New Knowledge was involved in that. They also worked with Fusion GPS.
Facebook investigating whether a Hoffman-funded project called "News for Democracy" was peddling misinformation before the 2018 midterm.

NEW: Chinese telecom executive for a company that appears to be Zoom spied on video conference users at the direction of Chinese intelligence.

He fabricated evidence in order to shut down events commemorating the Tiananmen Square massacre. dailycaller.com/2020/12/18/chi…
Clues in the complaint point to Zoom as the company. It says that the executive, Julien Jin, had contact with the company's chief operating officer.

CCP required Zoom to make Jin its liaison as part of a "rectification" plan in order to allow Zoom to operate in China.
Zoom says it is reviewing the complaint and will issue statement later.

The complaint has numerous clues that Zoom is the company. It is based in San Jose, and a screen shot in the complaint shows Zoom's interface

NEW: Two Biden Cabinet Picks Were Reprimanded For Roles In Clinton-Era 'Pardongate' Scandal

Xavier Becerra and Alejandro Mayorkas intervened to help get commutation for Carlos Vignali, a convicted cocaine trafficker.
dailycaller.com/2020/12/07/joe…
A House report from 2002 said Vignali's father donated to Becerra's political campaigns.

The report said Mayorkas' involvement was "totally inappropriate" given that he was a U.S. attorney at the time. He contacted the White House on behalf of Vignali.
Todd Jones, the U.S. attorney who prosecuted Vignali in 2004, said that Mayorkas should have "stay[ed] the hell away from it" since he wasn't involved in the initial case.

A few things that caught my eye from the Senate document dump yesterday. From the DOJ portion:

In Sept. 2017 interview w/ FBI, Steele leaves out that he was meeting w/ reporters well before Comey's letter reopening the email probe.

hsgac.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
FBI personnel who interviewed Steele assured him that details of the interview were going "straight to Mueller." This undercuts the claim by some who say that the dossier played no role in Mueller probe (it didn't, only b/c it was garbage).
Nellie Ohr gave FBI a thumb drive of her research on Manafort.

NEW: General Services Administration proactively offered to give the FBI and Mueller team records from the Trump transition team, Senate report says.

GSA had an agreement w/ Trump campaign/transition to destroy those records. dailycaller.com/2020/10/23/gen…
Kevin Clinesmith, who has pleaded guilty in the Durham probe, submitted the request on behalf of the FBI/Mueller team in August 2017 for transition records for Flynn and 12 other transition officials, including Pompeo and Kushner.
A GSA official got the ball rolling on Feb. 15, 2017, after a news report about Flynn resigning.

There was no official confirmation that the FBI was investigating Trump campaign or Flynn at the time, but a GSA lawyer inquired about whether to preserve transition records

I'm a few minutes behind on the Comey hearing -- first note -- Graham says "Igor" was the Steele source. He's naming Igor Danchenko
Graham reads into the record a letter from the DOJ Office of Intelligence attorney who put together the Carter Page FISA saying that he/she would not sign it today knowing then what they know now.
Comey says he doesn't know how much time FBI spent trying to validate the dossier.
