Another Joe Biden FBI Scandal

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2026/02/another-joe-biden-fbi-scandal.php

Quote
The extent to which the Department of Justice under Merrick Garland was weaponized to serve the Democratic Party is a scandal that is still unraveling. The FBI was particularly turned to partisan ends, a scandal for which there has yet been no accounting.

It has most recently come to light that in 2023, the FBI [so]tapped the phones[/so] secretly subpoenaed phone records of both Kash Patel–now, ironically, the Director of the FBI–and Susie Wiles, now the President’s Chief of Staff. This was all, I take it, part of the Democratic Party’s well-organized effort to prevent Donald Trump from being re-elected President in 2024.

That the FBI wiretapped Patel and Wiles is disgraceful, but there is a uniquely improper element to its spying on Wiles. The FBI actually listened in on a conversation between Wiles and her lawyer, reportedly with the lawyer’s consent but without Wiles’s knowledge:

Emphasis in the original.

1. How in Hades is what Wiles's attorney did ethical, and possibly even not illegal?

2. Did LIEden's FBI coerce Wiles's attorney into carrying out what appears to be a gross ethical breach?

BTW, the author of this blogpost, John Hinderaker, practiced law for 41 years, so he has substantial awareness of attorney-client relationship ethics.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis coordinated extensively with the Biden Justice Department and White House as well as Democrats on the House Jan. 6 investigative committee as she built a failed criminal case against President Donald Trump and his allies related to their challenge to Georgia's 2020 election results, according to a trove of internal communications obtained by Just the News.

The memos show that President Joe Biden's top White House lawyer personally opened the door for Willis' prosecutors to interview Trump administration officials by waiving claims of executive privilege, that federal prosecutors waived certain rights to allow the interviews to proceed before a state grand jury and that Willis's team spoke glowingly of the congressional efforts to expose Trump's involvement in the disputed election.

1. Some DU-member should refer PCIntern for 72-hour mental health hold, including testing for dementia.

2. In the real world the FBI provided significant security assistance, and Patel was there for oversight and instant approval of any necessary actions.

3. Why does PCIntern hate brown-skinned Indians?

PCIntern (28,165 posts)

I believe that I know why Patel went to Milan

in the fashion that he did, rather ostentatiously spending taxpayer money

Because he knows he’s DONE. When that material which he has seen and knows will eventually be revealed or leaked comes out, he will be crucified along with the entire DOJ. It is likely so disgusting, so vile, so amoral that they’re all gonna have to “lawyer-up”. Things are gonna change radically and the pendulum will swing a great distance this time because this ain’t Watergate or Iran-Contra.

It’s literally buggerring children…and likely worse-I think they’ve performed acts you can’t even see on regular porn channels. These people know no bounds. There is no “bottom” of the depths to which they can sink.

So he hopped on his plane because time is short.

Dems Score Another Epstein Scalp: Davos Summit CEO

https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2026/02/26/dems-score-another-epstein-scalp-davos-summit-ceo-n3812306

Quote
Democrats pushed hard to expose all of the investigatory documentation in the Jeffrey Epstein case. They were convinced that the files would expose speculative links to Donald Trump and other members of the conservative establishment. Instead, the files keep forcing leaders in progressive-elite circles to run for the shadows. This morning, the CEO of the World Economic Forum and organizer of the annual global-elite Davos Summit resigned after his connections to Epstein emerged from the files:

Quote
The president and CEO of the World Economic Forum, Borge Brende, said he was stepping down on Thursday, a few weeks after the forum launched an independent investigation into his relationship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Brende, who ‌became president of the WEF in 2017, announced his decision in a ⁠statement following disclosures from the US Justice Department that showed the Norwegian had three business dinners with Epstein and had also communicated with the disgraced ‌financier via email and text message.

I wonder whether Brende partook of Epstein's perversion, gave him insider investment info, or "just" displayed the bad judgment of hobnobbing with a convicted pervert.

Taking the info here, https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr5lq9ll15jo , at face value (it's from the BBC, so a sizable block of salt is advisable), it looks like Brende is "guilty" of the poor judgment of not learning what Epstein was before hobnobbing with him.

b]Judge orders Greenpeace to pay $345m over Dakota Access pipeline protest[/b]

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/25/greenpeace-dakota-access-pipeline-protest

Quote
A North Dakota judge has said he will order Greenpeace to pay damages expected to total $345m in connection with protests against the Dakota Access oil pipeline from nearly a decade ago, a figure the environmental group contends it cannot pay.

In court papers filed Tuesday, Judge James Gion said he would sign an order requiring several Greenpeace entities to pay the judgment to pipeline company Energy Transfer. He set that amount at $345m last year in a decision that reduced a jury’s damages by about half, but his latest filing did not specify a final amount.

The long-awaited order is expected to launch an appeal process in the North Dakota supreme court from both sides.

Last year, a nine-person jury found Netherlands-based Greenpeace International, Greenpeace USA and funding arm Greenpeace Fund Inc liable for defamation and other claims brought by Dallas-based Energy Transfer and subsidiary Dakota Access.

It is LONG overdue for Enviro-Activists to have to pay for their tortious crap!

The DUmpster / Re: Who here skipped Trump's SOTU?
« Last post by enslaved1 on February 26, 2026, 09:33:25 AM »
Hey, I have something in common with the DUmmies as I didn't watch either. No matter the party, I find the SOTU's to be rather boring. Better to catch up with clips and highlights/lowlights in the post-game coverage, which I did.

Me too.  Don't think anything particularly important has come out of a SOTU speech since Kennedy told Congress to get a man on the moon in ten years.  Lots of theater from both sides since then, but nothing that can't be picked up from reputable commentators the next day.
