3) Under Obama, the DOJ was fundamentally pushed to the left by Attorney General Eric Holder and then by his successor, Loretta Lynch.
Sally Yates rounded out the Obama appointed DOJ leadership.
4) Holder came up w/process for doling out settlements from the financial crisis to activist groups.
Holder presided over unlawful investigation of certain members of media. Under Holder’s control, DOJ secretly obtained two months of telephone records of AP reporters & editors.
5) DOJ also monitored the personal email and phone of Fox News reporter James Rosen.
And it was Holder who refused to prosecute anyone in the IRS targeting of 426 conservative groups during the Obama Administration.
6) The FBI found Hillary Clinton guilty of essentially every act they investigated.
Despite these findings, Comey cleared Clinton by making a statement that “no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case”.
This allowed Loretta Lynch at DOJ to announce the matter closed.
7) In the summer of 2016, Clinton embarked on a secret plan to tie Trump to Russian election interference “as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.”
Her efforts were successful. But only because of our corrupt Intelligence Community.
8) In the weeks that followed FBI’s opening of its CFH investigation, CIA Director Brennan would take a number of actions that appear to have been intended to actively reinforce the basic premise behind Clinton’s plan—that Russia was interfering in the election to help Trump.
9) According to Brennan’s testimony, he told the Gang of Eight that “Russia’s goals were to undermine public faith in the U.S. Democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton and harm her electability and potential presidency. And to help President Trump’s election chances.”
10) Brennan’s actions to establish a narrative of Russian interference would become more significant as he was about to embark on his creation of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA).
The ICA would become the cornerstone of false allegation that Trump colluded w/Russia.
11) Fast forward to October 2020 - when Biden lied to the American public during the 2nd presidential debate -claiming that Hunter's laptop was simply "Russian disinformation"
A claim that is now roundly acknowledged as a lie.
12) Biden's claims of “Russian disinformation” were backed by our intelligence agencies.
Five former CIA Directors issued a letter on Oct. 19, 2020, just days before the debate on Oct. 22, 2020.
Their fabricated letter was widely circulated by media as proof of Biden’s claims.
13) That five different CIA directors would be willing to publicly promote false allegations about Russia in order to shield a presidential candidate from public attention is deeply troubling.
Worse still, the DOJ effectively did the same thing.
14) During a recent interview, Barr conceded that he knew that the letter from our nation’s intelligence officials “was baseless” and that he believed Biden himself fully understood that it “was a lie.”
Barr chose to stay silent on Biden’s claims.
15) At the time of the 2nd presidential debate the FBI already had Hunter’s laptop in its possession—and had held the device for 10 months.
The FBI had also opened an investigation into Hunter Biden for multiple offenses—including allegations of money laundering FARA violations.
16) As we now know, Hunter’s emails and laptop are real. Indeed, shortly after the election, Hunter Biden suddenly released a statement acknowledging that he was under federal investigation.
17) Barr...made no statement. Until it was far too late.
The DOJ is hopelessly corrupt. As is the entirety of our government.
It's a sad day when we have to pin our hopes on @elonmusk.
But I sincerely wish him the best of luck.

Aside from Andersen's shameless efforts (along w/more nuanced attempts via Fauci & Collins) to silence @jbloom_lab we knew of DoD funding - & guessed why.
Now per Daszak: "One Def Dept sub-agency wanted “information on what is going on in countries in which they cannot access."
Daszak comes across as a used car salesman - who cuts corners and is always scrounging for funding.
Fauci - a publicity hungry megalomaniac who controls $.
"Fauci normally says no to almost everything like this. Unless ABC, NBC, CBS, and Fox are all there with cameras running."
1) On May 18, 2020 Barr declared that Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Russiagate hoax wasn’t focused on Obama or Joe Biden.
Barr's claim is an often underappreciated statement, the fallout of which was felt throughout the 2020 presidential election.
2) Although Barr now claims that he issued his statement from a position of fairness, what he actually did was insert himself into the presidential campaign.
In doing so, he set the stage for media’s whitewashing of corruption questions that surrounded Biden during the campaign.
3) Barr’s May 18 statement also stands in stark contrast to his decision to remain silent after the second presidential debate in October 2020, when Biden falsely blamed the story about his son Hunter’s laptop on a “Russian plot.”
1) On July 28, 2016, Brennan briefed Obama on Clinton’s July 26 plan to tie Trump to Russian election interference “as a means of distracting the public from her use of a private email server.” judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
2) In the weeks that followed the FBI’s opening of its Crossfire Hurricane investigation, Brennan took a number of actions that appear to have been intended to actively reinforce the basic premise behind Clinton’s plan—that Russia was interfering in the election to help Trump.
3) One of the first actions from Brennan took place on Aug. 4, 2016, when he suddenly warned Russia’s FSB head Alexander Bortnikov not to engage in U.S. election interference.
Brennan later claimed that he “was the first U.S. official to brace Russia on this issue.”
2) Three weeks later, on Nov. 22, Joe Biden demanded the removal of Ukraine prosecutor Shokin.
Biden's sudden demand seems odd as US State Dept officials had previously praised Shokin in the months leading up to Biden's demand for Shokin's removal.
3) In June 2015, Victoria Nuland told Shokin she was “impressed with the ambitious reform and anti-corruption agenda”
Nuland stated that Shokin had demonstrated his ability to “investigate and prosecute corruption and other crimes in an effective, fair, and transparent manner.”
2) Although Russian President Vladimir Putin is rightly deserving of blame, top U.S. officials over the past decade have played important roles in critical events that undermined U.S. relations with Russia and resulted in the destabilization of Ukraine.
3) The deterioration in our relations with Russia, in many ways started with President George W. Bush in 2008 when he dangled before Ukraine the promise of NATO membership during the Bucharest declaration.
