Sen. Grassley just confirmed that a subpoena has been issued that alleges a criminal scheme involving then Vice President Joe Biden based on "very credible" information from a whistleblower. They are seeking a specific document detailing the alleged scheme...
...Chairman Comer has confirmed that the whistleblower is alleging a specific "bribery scheme with a foreign national." The document appears to lay out the alleged allegations and Grassley confirmed that he has not seen the document...
...The whistleblower allegations place the continued refusal of AG Garland to appoint a special counsel, a position that some of us have long criticized as inexplicable given past references to the president. jonathanturley.org/2022/08/16/the…
...Grassley just told Fox that he is concerned that this unclassified document could be "suddenly classified." The Congress is also likely to face claims of privilege over ongoing investigations.
...Now the Washington Post is now reporting that Weiss is close to a "charging decision" on Hunter Biden. The Justice Department is likely to use that ongoing investigation as a basis to withhold this document and other information.

The DeSantis presser has begun. grabien.com/livestreamwatc…
...DeSantis just declared the last minute changes of the old board as "null." In addition to the flaws in how those changes were issues, he also announced a new bill to use Florida law to negate the changes...
...The new board will meet on Wednesday and DeSantis is promising to impose a host of regulations on Disney, specifically removing Disney's exemption of its own monorail. As discussed in the column, it will now be inspected and subjected to uniform standards. ..

While some legal experts have insisted such concealment is clearly a criminal matter that must be charged, they were conspicuously silent when Hillary Clinton faced a campaign concealment allegation...thehill.com/opinion/judici…
...Last year, the FEC fined the Clinton campaign for funding the Steele dossier as a legal expense. The campaign had previously denied funding the dossier and buried the funding in the campaign’s legal budget. jonathanturley.org/2022/03/31/fec…
...Here Trump is accused of hiding what was really a campaign election donation at a legal cost. However, Bragg will need to show that he did not have other obvious motives such as avoiding a scandal as a celebrity.

Hallie Biden has just been named as the third Biden who received money from Chinese interests in the initial "suspicious activity reports." The inclusion of Hallie with Hunter and James Biden reaffirm the view of a family influence peddling enterprise...

...Apologists are already objecting that influence peddling is perfectly legal. Indeed, it is a virtual cottage industry in D.C. However, it is also a raw form of corruption that is being largely ignored by the media...
...Moreover, the steps used to carry out influence peddling or to hide its proceeds can be crimes. The Biden family business has long been influence peddling and the extent of these transactions is breathtaking.

Ranking member Plaskett is attacking the witnesses in today's Twitter Files hearing. It is part of an overall scorched Earth strategy against anyone who testifies on censorship The two witnesses were given access to the Twitter Files but Plaskett is dismissing them.
...While opposing any effort to determine the scope of censorship efforts by the government. Plaskett is launching a diatribe against Musk. He is getting off light. At my hearing, witnesses were called "Putin lovers" and insurrectionists sympathizers. jonathanturley.org/2023/02/12/is-…
...Plaskett has now denounced the two witnesses as a direct threat to others who disagree with them. It is breathtaking in the level of abuse being directed at witnesses seeking to disclose government censorship.

The second case is before the Court and Roberts is pressing Prelogar on why the two students are not injured and whether, if the program is struck down, it could help them with a rewrite of the program.
...Gorsuch agreed with Prelogar and hit the use of the universal vacatur by the lower court. Eventually, with some audible laughter, the Chief Justice and others noted that this was an argument outside of the merits.
...Gorsuch was taking a peevish dig at this colleagues who have supported such injunctive relief.

Solicitor General Prelogar is doing (as usual) an excellent job in oral argument on the Biden loan forgiveness. However, she is facing considerable skepticism from Chief Justice Roberts that this was ever intended by Congress...
...Roberts is a key vote for the Biden Administration. Even Justice Sotomayor has noted that the size of the giveaway would seem to favor the Court looking at it as "major question", triggering the major question doctrine...
...Prelogar is fighting hard to avoid that framing because it would require greater clarity on the use of the HEROES Act for this type of massive giveaway.
