(RepublicanWire.org) – NFL star quarterback Aaron Rodgers issued a warning to former president Bill Clinton and other friends of the disgraced Jeffrey Epstein on The Pat McAfee Show. Rodgers talked about the crazy worldwide events we have seen lately.

He said: “There’s been a lot of disclosure recently. There’s a lot of old papers and files and different things about interactions that Navy pilots have had, especially Navy pilots, I believe, with Unidentified Flying Objects, so this is not surprising.

“Obviously, there was some sort of Chinese spy balloon that was up in the air, allegedly. And there’s been a few other objects that have been shot down. I believe that this been going on for a long time.

“Interesting timing on everything; there’s a lot of other things going on in the world.

“There’s some wild sh*t going on right now, Aaron,” McAfee said.

Rodgers said:

“Did you hear about the Epstein client list about to be released, too?

“There’s some files that have some names on it that might be getting released pretty soon.

“You know, Ghislaine Maxwell was the only person ever convicted of trafficking.

“And nobody who was involved in the trafficking ever went to jail, so, nothing to see here.”

McAfee joked, “no, nothing. ‘Look, there’s UFOs flying over; we just shot them down.’”

“Johnny Depp trial.” Rodgers said.

“That’s what you’re saying, obviously,” McAfee said.

“There’s a lot going on,” Rodgers said. “There’s a lot going on.”

A judge ordered some documents unsealed in a lawsuit against Ghislaine maxwell that will include one ‘public’ figure being named and shamed.

No one knows who it is but Bill Clinton is certainly worried.

(RepublicanWire.org) – Dick Morris, a former Clinton advisor, believes that the classified documents scandal will have steep political consequences for the current president. 

In an interview with John Catsimatidis on “The Cats Roundtable,” a radio show, Morris said, “That’s going to be the absolute end for Biden.”

He continued, “When Biden as president can’t get more than 25% of the primary vote in his own party, that’s near death. He’s so incredibly vulnerable. You’d think he’d be at 40% or 50% at the least. That means pretty much anybody that breathes on him can knock him over.”

The poll to which he referred also shows “former First Lady Michelle Obama at 16% and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton at just 5%.”

In Morris’ opinion, the situation between Trump’s classified documents possession and Biden’s is not the same. 

He said, “It’s different. Trump took them like mementos, like an ashtray. A letter from Kim Jong-un that he could show people … [Biden’s situation] is directly linked to a big bribery scandal involving the vice president and his son. That’s a whole other situation.”

Morris told Catsimatidis, “The issue here is not if everybody took classified documents home.”

He considers Biden’s situation very different because the uncovered documents contain “classified information about American policy toward Ukraine.”

These documents are from the time when, then-Vice President Biden was the point man on anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine while his son, Hunter, was on the board of a Ukrainian energy company. 

Even though the mainstream media ignores the situation, Morris says, “It will knock Biden out of the race.”

 In reporting on the Dick Morris interview, The Daily Wire said: 

“Morris pointed out the fact that the documents — which have thus far been found at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C., as well as Biden’s home and garage in Wilmington, Delaware — were located in places where the president’s embattled son Hunter may have had access to them.

“Several reports have indicated that Hunter Biden listed the Wilmington home as his place of residence in 2017 following his divorce — at which time he was still serving as a board member of Burisma and his father had already left the White House.”

It is all very concerning. Did Hunter Biden use classified information in his dealings in Ukraine? Is that how he secured a position on the board? 

There have been direct accusations that Hunter used classified information in at least one of the emails discovered on his laptop. 

The wording is vastly different from any of his other emails and contains language and phrases that could come from classified information. 

Through White House lawyer Richard Sauber, the Biden administration said, “We are confident that a thorough review will show that these documents were inadvertently misplaced, and the President and his lawyers acted promptly upon discovery of this mistake.”

(RepublicanWire.org) – Just The News founder John Solomon believes that Special Counsel John Durham is preparing to go after the FBI. Solomon spoke about the special counsel’s investigation into the Trump-Russia witch hunt and what Durham’s next move might be.

Russian-born analyst Igor Danchenko — key source for the unverified Steele dossier that alleged ties between Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia — was arrested by federal agents last year as part of the Durham investigation. Solomon explained that he believes Durham is dealing with “two buckets.”

In one “bucket,” there are the last two indictments against officials who were connected to Hillary Clinton and their plan to feed the FBI false information about Trump-Russia conspiracies. He said the other “bucket” focuses on the FBI and whether agents knowingly mislead the FISA court to obtain warrants to spy on members of Trump’s 2016 campaign.

“But Durham developed really significant evidence that red flags, the stop-now warning signs go all the way back to August when Bruce Orr, in 2016 came to the FBI and said Christopher Steele is dumping a dossier. He hates Trump. He’s hired by Hillary Clinton and most of his information is raw and uncorroborated,” he said.

“A month after the CIA sends a warning to the FBI, this is something John Ratcliffe declassified, saying Hillary Clinton is trying to play a dirty trick on Donald Trump to tie him to Russia to get out of her e-mail thing. All through the fall, they keep a spreadsheet of what’s right and wrong with the Steele dossier. It’s all wrong. Can’t corroborate, they can’t collaborate the information. The FBI never should have started the investigation and I think that’s where John Durham’s investigation is focused right now,” he added.

A jury recently found former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann not guilty of making a false statement to the FBI in September 2016 when he claimed that he was not working on behalf of any client when he brought information alleging a covert communications channel between the Trump Organization and Russia’s Alfa Bank.

“After a two-week trial, and more than a day of deliberations, the jury found that Special Counsel John Durham’s team had not proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Sussmann’s statement was a lie and that he was, in fact, working on behalf of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and technology executive Rodney Joffe when he brought two thumb drives and a white paper alleging a Trump-Russia connection,” Fox News reported.

“The jury included one federal government employee who told the judge they donated to Democrats in 2016 and another government employee who told the judge they strongly dislike former President Trump. Both of those jurors told the judge they could be impartial throughout the trial,” the report added. “The jury also included a teacher, an illustrator, a mechanic, and more. One juror had a child who was on the same high school sports team as Sussmann’s child.”

Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia witch hunt has been heating up for months, with many wanting Hillary Clinton and her allies held accountable.

Former Attorney General Barr, who served under President Donald Trump, believes Durham has made progress in his investigation and that more damning information may come out soon.

Barr said that Durham has “dug very deep” into the origins of the FBI’s investigation into disproven claims that then-candidate Trump was colluding with Russia to interfere with the 2016 election and has uncovered “good information.”

“I think the question all along … has been that this was a campaign-dirty-trick to get the government to investigate allegations — scurrilous allegations — about Donald Trump and then leak that right before the election,” Barr said. “And so that raises two questions: Was the Clinton campaign developing this false information and feeding it in for that purpose? And what was the FBI’s role in this? It tells me that he [has] dug very deep and he has developed some good information and he thinks he can make a criminal case here.”

(RepublicanWire.org) – Spencer Kuvin, who represented nine of Jeffrey Epstein’s accusers, put Bill Clinton and others on notice by telling a new documentary about Prince Andrew and Epstein there could be further revelations in the case because Ghislaine Maxwell has until June 2023 to cooperate with prosecutors.

Kuvin said she intends to appeal her conviction and she could cooperate to try to reduce her lengthy sentence. Maxwell, 60, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in June. She will most likely die in prison unless she makes a deal. Bill Clinton should be sweating bullets.

Maxwell is living in FCI Tallahassee, a low-security federal prison in Florida where she has reportedly ganged up with an infamous double murderer.

“She is really the person who holds all the secrets,” said Kuvin says in the documentary ‘Prince Andrew: Banished.’ “This isn’t the end of the story.”

The question now is whether Ms. Maxwell will consider disclosing the names of the Epstein “clients” pursuant to Federal Rule 35. That rule makes it possible for a convicted defendant to have their sentence reduced for providing “substantial assistance” to law enforcement.

(RepublicanWire.org) – Hillary Clinton was heavily rebuked after urging the European Union to pass legislation to stop the spread of “disinformation” and “extremism” online on Thursday evening.

Conservative Twitter users showed complete disdain for Clinton’s tweet on Friday, reminding her that she was part of the effort to tie former President Trump to the Russia Collusion “hoax”. They also accused her of wanting to “control” speech and having a “totalitarian impulse.”

“I urge our transatlantic allies to push the Digital Services Act across the finish line and bolster global democracy before it’s too late,” she added, speaking about a new law proposed by the European Union which will force Big Tech companies to better police illegal content posted online.

Actor Adam Baldwin mentioned Hillary’s “tyrannical impulse,” tweeting, “No, your totalitarian impulse is wrong. Best and least restrictive practice is for the free market to distill and decide ideas. GTFO of the way!”

“Once they called the revelations from Hunter’s laptop ‘disinformation’ they made it clear the word simply means ‘stuff damaging to Democrats.’ It shocks me that journalists take cries of ‘disinformation’ seriously still,” author and Washington Examiner columnist Tim Carney tweeted about tech platforms censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story in 2020.

Carney continued: “…and so we know exactly what the below [Hillary’s tweet] means. Democrats want to use the force of the government to push Big Tech to censor news and commentary that makes them look bad.”

“Like her co-conspirator Obama, Hillary Clinton also wants the government to regulate and censor speech she doesn’t like,” Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton tweeted, referencing the former president’s recent initiative to counter “disinformation” online. 

“Our Republic is under assault. A former president (Obama) and former and possible presidential candidate (Hillary Clinton) just reconfirmed support for mass government monitoring and censorship of Americans,” Fitton said in another tweet.

Many are calling for Americans to stand up against global censorship.

(RepublicanWire.org) – Special Counsel John Durham filed new evidence Monday night in the case against Democratic Party lawyer Michael Sussmann, who has been charged with making a false statement to a federal agent during a September 2016 meeting with the FBI.

Sussmann allegedly failed to disclose his clients, including Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, to the FBI when he offered information in 2016 that he claimed demonstrated a secret channel between the Trump Organization and Kremlin-allied Alfa Bank.

During the meeting, Sussmann allegedly falsely claimed that he was not at the meeting on behalf of any client.

Durham’s latest filing shows that the evening before the lawyer’s meeting, he sent a text to an FBI official saying, “I’m coming on my own — not on behalf of a client or company — want to help the bureau.” 

The text message offers new evidence outside of the one-on-one meeting that Sussmann did in fact claim he was not participating in the meeting on behalf of a client.

The new filing also includes rceferences to the dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele. A number of the allegations included in the Steele dossier, which was used by the FBI to obtain surveillance warrants against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page, have since been discredited.

Steele was a subcontractor for Fusion GPS, a research firm that Sussmann’s former law firm, Perkins Coie, had hired to look into potential links between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Marc Elias, a campaign law specialist and one of Sussmann’s partners at Perkins Coie, was representing the Clinton campaign and hired Fusion GPS.

Though Sussmann’s indictment does not mention the Steele dossier, Durham’s new filing refers to the dossier and Steele, including a meeting with Sussmann that Steele has said included the alleged suspicions data scientists had about odd internet data they thought might indicate a secret channel between the Trump Organization and Alfa Bank.

Sussmann’s lawyers asked the judge to block prosecutors from making arguments and introducing evidence related to the dossier.

Sussmann’s defense lawyers claimed Durham is promoting a “baseless narrative that the Clinton campaign conspired with others to trick the federal government into investigating ties between President Trump and Russia.”

“But there was no such conspiracy; the special counsel hasn’t charged such a crime; and the special counsel should not be permitted to turn Mr. Sussmann’s trial on a narrow false statement charge into a circus full of sideshows that will only fuel partisan fervor,” attorneys for Sussmann wrote.

Meanwhile, the new Durham filing asked the judge to prevent the defense from making arguments and presenting evidence “that depict the special counsel as politically motived or biased based on his appointment” by the Trump administration.

“The only purpose in advancing these arguments would be to stir the pot of political polarization, garner public attention and, most inappropriately, confuse jurors or encourage jury nullification,” it said. “Put bluntly, the defense wishes to make the special counsel out to be a political actor when, in fact, nothing could be further from the truth.”

(RepublicanWire.org) – Special counsel John Durham has filed a motion asking a federal court not to dismiss charges against a lawyer once associated with the 2016 Democratic presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton.

The filing comes after attorneys for the lawyer, Michael Sussman, asked the court to throw them out.

The Epoch Times reports:

Michael Sussmann was representing the Clinton campaign when in 2016 he passed along information to an FBI counsel. His lawyers say the documents “raised national security concerns” while prosecutors describe them as purportedly detailing a covert channel between a Russian bank and the business of Donald Trump, Clinton’s rival at the time.

Sussmann was charged with lying to the FBI because he falsely told the counsel he was not providing the allegations to the FBI on behalf of any client despite presenting the information on behalf of the Clinton campaign, prosecutors say.

In a filing in February, Sussmann’s lawyers moved to dismiss the charge, claiming their client “did not make any false statement to the FBI” but even if he had, “the false statement alleged in the indictment is immaterial as a matter of law.”

“Allowing this case to go forward would risk criminalizing ordinary conduct, raise First Amendment concerns, dissuade honest citizens from coming forward with tips, and chill the advocacy of lawyers who interact with the government,” the filing stated.

“The Special Counsel’s unprecedented and unlawful overreach should not be countenanced, and the single count against Mr. Sussmann should be dismissed,” it continued.

In its reply on Friday, Durham’s team urged the court to reject the Sussmann filing.

“The defendant’s false statement to the FBI General Counsel was plainly material because it misled the General Counsel about, among other things, the critical fact that the defendant was disseminating highly explosive allegations about a then-Presidential candidate on behalf of two specific clients, one of which was the opposing Presidential campaign,” their filing said.

“The defendant’s efforts to mislead the FBI in this manner during the height of a Presidential election season plainly could have influenced the FBI’s decision-making in any number of ways,” Durham’s team argued.

If the case does go to trial, Durham will likely argue that the evidence proves the bureau could have done something prior to starting a full investigation into the matter, to include an assessment, and should have delayed making a decision until after the 2016 election or declined to have launched a probe at all.

Last month, Just The News’ John Solomon predicted who he believes Durham’s next target will be.

In an interview with Fox News, he explained that he believes Durham is dealing with “two buckets.”

In one “bucket,” there are the last two indictments against officials who were connected to Hillary Clinton and their plan to feed the FBI false information about Trump-Russia conspiracies.

He then said the other “bucket” focuses on the FBI and whether agents knowingly mislead the FISA court to obtain warrants to spy on members of Trump’s 2016 campaign.

“Pete Strzok’s opening electronic communication which starts the Crossfire Hurricane investigation states they are looking at whether individuals associated with the Trump campaign were coordinating conspiring with Russia,” Solomon told Maria Bartiromo.

“When they put the first FISA in, in October, the Trump campaign is mentioned a dozen times in the first FISA, and as I mentioned in the last segment, the allegation is a well-developed conspiracy between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and Russia to hijack the election,” he added, noting further that Strzok’s claim a day earlier in an interview with MSNBC that the probe was not about the Trump campaign is false.

“Of course, it was about the campaign,” he said, adding:

But Durham developed really significant evidence that red flags, the stop-now warning signs go all the way back to August when Bruce Orr, in 2016 came to the FBI and said Christopher Steele is dumping a dossier. He hates Trump. He’s hired by Hillary Clinton and most of his information is raw and uncorroborated.

A month after the CIA sends a warning to the FBI, this is something John Ratcliffe declassified, saying Hillary Clinton is trying to play a dirty trick on Donald Trump to tie him to Russia to get out of her e-mail thing. All through the fall, they keep a spreadsheet of what’s right and wrong of the Steele dossier. It’s all wrong. Can’t corroborate, they can’t collaborate the information. The FBI never should have started the investigation and I think that’s where John Durham’s investigation is focused right now.

(RepublicanWire.org) – The vast majority of Democrats in a new survey said they want to see 2016 presidential nominee Hillary Clinton legitimately investigated over her reported role in a plot to ‘spy’ on GOP rival Donald Trump’s campaign and later after he won the election, his White House.

“A growing chorus of Democrats believe 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should be questioned by special advisor John Durham for her alleged role in the Russian secret server scandal in a poll conducted before bombshell revelations that her team spied on Donald Trump’s campaign,” the Daily Mail reported on Sunday.

“In a poll last month, 66 percent of Democrats wanted Clinton questioned, a whopping 22 percentage points higher than how many in her party demanded a probe last October, according to TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics (TIPP) research,” the report noted.

“The amount of Republicans demanding answers is also swelling, rising to 91 percent in January from 80 percent last October,” the report continued. “Among the independent crowd, those wanting the former secretary of state probed rose to 74 percent from 65 percent.”

Interestingly, the most recent results came before Clinton’s campaign team was linked to a technology firm a Feb. 11 court filing by Durham claims electronically eavesdropped on servers at Trump Tower and the Executive Office of the President under Trump.

“Both polls were completed before Special Counsel John Durham last week released a bombshell report that claimed Clinton’s campaign team tried to spy on former president Trump’s computer servers in a failed attempt to tie him to Russia,” the report noted further.

Following the initial reports regarding Durham’s findings, the Washington Free Beacon reported, citing Federal Election Commission records, that President Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign along with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee also used the same tech firm, Neustar Information Services, ahead of the elections.

The outlet noted:

According to Durham, Neustar’s chief technology officer, Rodney Joffe, accessed sensitive web traffic data that the company maintained on behalf of the White House executive office in order to collect “derogatory” information about Donald Trump.

Joffe allegedly provided the information to Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann, who in turn gave it to the CIA during a meeting in February 2017. Durham charged Sussmann in September with lying to the FBI about his investigation of Trump.

The Biden campaign’s payments raise questions about whether Joffe continued snooping on Trump in the most recent election. The Biden and Clinton campaigns are the only two presidential committees to have ever paid Neustar, according to Federal Election Commission records.

Biden’s campaign paid Neustar $18,819 on Sept. 29, 2020, the records show. The Clinton campaign paid the firm $3,000 in May 2015 for mobile phone services. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee paid $3,000 to Neustar in 2017. Neustar executives and staffers contributed $17,906 to Biden’s campaign, FEC records show.

The Free Beacon adds that it wasn’t clear whether Neustar executives were aware of Joffe’s prior work with the Clinton campaign.

Following Durham’s findings, Trump sounded the alarm over the findings which he said substantiates his many previous claims that his campaign was “spied on.”

“The latest pleading from Special Counsel Robert Durham provides indisputable evidence that my campaign and presidency were spied on by operatives paid by the Hillary Clinton Campaign in an effort to develop a completely fabricated connection to Russia,” he said in a statement.

“This is a scandal far greater in scope and magnitude than Watergate and those who were involved in and knew about this spying operation should be subject to criminal prosecution. In a stronger period of time in our country, this crime would have been punishable by death. In addition, reparations should be paid to those in our country who have been damaged by this,” he added.

Pundits are already discussing the next presidential election less than a year into President Joe Biden’s first term. Many politicos believe the 46th POTUS isn’t going to be on the ticket the next time around and are discussing who might run for the Democratic Party. Hillary Clinton’s name is being thrown into the mix but her allies are reportedly laughing off the possibility.

Clinton, who lost to former President Donald Trump in 2016, recently stirred up rumors about a possible run after posting a message on Twitter about the next presidential election being crucial for America.

The former first lady and secretary of state has also been in the spotlight a lot lately, attending conferences and being very vocal on Twitter. However, although some believe she might be thinking of making another run for the White House, others think it’s a bad idea. Dick Morris, a conservative who served as the chief advisor to former President Bill Clinton’s campaign until 1996, told the Washington Examiner he doesn’t think Hillary would “be a serious candidate.” A former 2008 Hillary surrogate told the website, “There’s no appetite. None. Zero,” for her to run. The sentiment was repeated time and again.

If Hillary thinks she’s going to rise from the ashes of her 2016 political defeat, she might have another thing coming.
