The Gold Medal for spin may have to go to the New Republic. After revealing millions of dollars being filtered through 17 LLCs to nine Biden family members from foreign sources, the TNR headlined:"Republicans Finally Admit They Have No Incriminating Evidence on Joe Biden."
...Soon to be followed by "Media Finally Admits That They Have No Journalistic Interest in Democratic Corruption." As noted earlier, nothing will make the media see the elephant on the stage. jonathanturley.org/2021/10/19/joe…
... Joe Biden was the object of the influence peddling and the proceeds were allegedly distributed to family members from his brother to his grandchildren. Yet, the media is insisting that no level of corruption is newsworthy short of a confession...
...Yet, it is impressive to see the media doing a virtual victory lap around a multimillion corruption scandal because everyone in the Biden family but the President are named in dozens of shady transfers. Welcome to the Big Julie school of ethics:

Democratic politicians continue to condemn the U.S. campaign against Iran in the midst of critical talks. Yet, few have come close to the extremes of Sen. Chris Murphy (D., Conn.), who just responded to a report of 26 Iranian vessels evading the U.S. blockade with "awesome"...
...For decades, U.S. politicians followed the model of the "loyal opposition" in times of war. Of course, when John Hobhouse used that term in 1826, he could hardly imagine the likes of Chris Murphy applauding alleged Iranian propaganda.
...Murphy's office is now attempting to spin out of the controversy, claiming "The tweet was sarcasm." That would certainly explain a long line of public statements from Murphy, but it seems a bit odd in this context. The response was to alleged Iranian propaganda...

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has issued another sole stinging dissent. In a 7-2 decision (with liberal justice Elena Kagan joining the majority), the Court upheld the authority of police to make a stop based on the totality of the circumstances...
...Jackson wrote that "I cannot fathom" how the seven justices could second-guess the lower court in rejecting the police claims. She accused her colleagues of mere "wordsmithing." Just for the record, it would be useful to review those words...
...The stop that Jackson (and the DC Circuit) found to be unjustified occurred after a call over a suspicious vehicle at 2am. When they arrived, two people ran from the car and the remaining passenger slowly began backing out of the parking lot with a door still open...

It appears that in 2019 Politico went from "Me Too" to "Meh." Michael Trujillo says that they had the story, but (when Swalwell dropped out of the presidential race) "the energy disappeared to potentially take him out." So allegedly raping women was no longer a story?...
...This was just after the wall-to-wall Kavanaugh stories with Swalwell leading the mob. However, Trujuillo said "we had to make sure he couldn’t get away like he did in 2020." Well, he didn't really "get away" in 2020, right? The media let him go, according to your account...
...In the meantime, Swalwell was allowed a pass despite allegations that he was sexually assaulting women. While he was not running for president, he was a member of Congress. It often appears that, for the media, the timing is never quite right to pursue Democratic scandals.

The jury is in: Sen. Ruben Gallego wins the 2026 Claude Rains award. Swalwell's friend, campaign chair, and travel mate on luxurious foreign junkets is officially and publicly "shocked": "I am equally as shocked and upset about what has transpired." I bet.
...Here is Sen. Gallego apparently expressing his shock on a trip after he and Swalwell accepted roughly 100k to frolic at the Four Seasons in Doha. foxnews.com/politics/flash…
...The cost of the trip was paid for by the U.S.-Qatar Business Council in 2021 during the COVID pandemic. The group is "dedicated exclusively to enhancing the bilateral business."

In one week, Eric Swalwell was forced to drop out of the California race, put under criminal investigation in New York, and is the subject of a bipartisan expulsion effort. He was even kicked out of the home of a billionaire who was letting him crash. However, that is not all...
...Swalwell is unlikely to avoid expulsion, but he may not have his law degree to fall back on. If these rape and sexual harassment claims are established, he is likely to face disbarment demands. Even his prior boosters at MS NOW and CNN are unlikely to offer him a media deal...
...I will be discussing Swalwell on America Reports today. However, the collapse of Swalwell is accelerating with the opening of what appears to be an expedited House Ethics Committee investigation.

Swalwell is now out of the governor's race, but his friends are still looking for political shelter. This photo of Sen. Ruben Gallego (D., Ariz.) has not aged well. Notably, Gallego and Swalwell accepted roughly 100k to frolic at the Four Seasons in Doha. foxnews.com/politics/flash…Image
...The Democratic establishment and the media is now insisting that they were unable for years of Swalwell's conduct despite the allegations being well known to many in Washington. ...jonathanturley.org/2026/04/12/pel…
...We have seen this pattern before as the mainstream media covers a scandal involving a powerful Democrat only when it has no alternative. His exit was also welcomed by some Democratic strategists seeking to avoid the possible election of a Republican as governor.
