Sam Bankman-Fried
Posted By: Imright, 7/27/2023 11:43:01 PM
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) informed a federal judge late Wednesday it did “not intend to proceed” with a campaign finance charge against disgraced FTX founder and Democrat super donor Sam Bankman-Fried. Consultation with the Bahamas on the campaign finance charges in Bankman-Fried’s original extradition document last year were behind the decision as part of an effort to adhere to the legal obligations therein, Forbes reports. The campaign finance violation charge was among eight counts present in the DOJ’s original indictment—which also includes wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering—in December.

This was the week Joe Biden's rotten House Of Cards began teetering on the brink of collapse. While Netflix's fictional U.S. President Kevin Spacey was found not guilty of sex charges by a jury in London, in another courtroom 3,500 miles away the web of lies and secrecy around alleged corruption in the Biden family was unravelling spectacularly.
A judge in Delaware threw out a disgraceful sweetheart deal which would have seen Biden's degenerate son Hunter walking free after pleading guilty to tax evasion, gun and drug charges, which would normally have led to serious jail time.
Judge Maryellen Noreika refused to rubber-stamp an incredibly lenient plea bargain agreement

President Trump on Friday lashed out at Special Counsel Jack Smith and US Attorney General Merrick Garland after the latest charges.
Special Counsel Jack Smith hit Trump with 3 additional charges in the investigation into classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago.
The superseding indictment, filed in the Southern District of Florida, claims Trump was part of a scheme to delete security footage from Mar-a-Lago.
Smith also charged a third defendant in Trump’s classified documents case on Thursday.
US President Joe Biden on Friday publicly acknowledged his seventh grandchild for the first time — a four-year-old girl his son Hunter fathered with an Arkansas woman — after Republican criticism of his failure to recognize her.
“This is not a political issue, it’s a family matter,” the president said in a statement to People magazine about the girl, Navy Joan Roberts.“Our son Hunter and Navy’s mother, Lunden, are working together to foster a relationship that is in the best interests of their daughter, preserving her privacy as much as possible going forward.”
President Joe Biden mocked the prospect of an impeachment inquiry during remarks on the economy in Maine on Friday.
“Earlier this week, the Washington Post suggested Republicans may have to find something else to criticize me for now that inflation is coming down,” Biden said. “I don’t know. I love that one.” Biden was referring to an article titled “As inflation falls, GOP may have to rethink attacks on Biden economy.” He was also referring to the idea — first suggested at Breitbart News in January, then again in March, June, and July — that sufficient evidence exists to support an impeachment inquiry into Biden for bribery, given his lucrative
House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) raised concerns that the Biden family could be involved in racketeering, the act of operating a business with illegally derived income through money laundering.
Speaking on the Verdict with Ted Cruz podcast this week, Comer revealed the Biden family business caused six banks to flag over 170 “large” amounts of money in Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) to the treasury for review, 20 more than previously known. SARs “often contain evidence of potential criminal activities, such as money laundering and fraud,” according to a 2020 Senate report.
Director Oliver Stone said he regrets voting for Joe Biden in the 2020 election, warning that the president is dragging the country into a potential World War III with Russia.
“I voted for him — I made a mistake!” Stone said in a new interview with actor Russell Brand.
Stone expressed his voter’s remorse by slamming the Biden administration’s handling of the war in Ukraine. “This is a potential World War III,” the two-time Oscar-winning director said. “This is the same situation as World War I, in a sense. The stupidity of it — because of the alliances and the fears and the built-up phobias. If we don’t stop this,
DES MOINES, Iowa — Iowa caucusgoers are about to be provided with their first side-by-side comparison of former President Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) as each candidate contends with a pivotal moment in their respective 2024 primary campaigns.
But as special counsel, Jack Smith appears poised to indict Trump for a second time, fresh off adding more charges to the original case, the former president's popularity in the Hawkeye State has only increased at DeSantis's expense before the Iowa Republican Party’s Lincoln Day Dinner this Friday.

In this episode of The Hypocrisy of ‘The Most Trusted Name in News’ Knows No Bounds…
In yet another example of why embattled CNN continues to swirl down the ratings toilet, CNN News Central on Thursday featured a laughable segment about 81-year-old Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell‘s age and health issues following an earlier moment when he stopped speaking during a press event.Host John Berman and congressional correspondent Manu Raju talked about the incident at length, pointing to McConnell’s past falls and suggesting complications might make him incapable of carrying out his senatorial responsibilities.
Just one problem.
80-year-old Joe Biden has also fallen multiple times,
Joe Biden will retreat to his Rehoboth Beach compound in Delaware for the next 10 days while his corrupt DOJ works to jail Trump.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters about feeble Joe’s plans to hide in Rehoboth Beach during a gaggle aboard Air Force One on Friday.
“This evening the president will depart Maine en route to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware where he will remain over the next week,” Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters.
Biden is en route to Auburn, Maine to discuss how ‘Bidenomics’ is driving a manufacturing boom (try not to laugh).
The Senate passed its own version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on Thursday without adding an amendment to pull Pentagon funding for abortion travel, setting up a likely fight with the House.
The Senate’s NDAA was widely backed by both Republicans and Democrats, passing in an 86-11 vote. “What’s happening in the Senate is a stark contrast to a bipartisan race to the bottom we saw in the House where House Republicans are pushing partisan legislation that has zero chance of passing,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said. “House Republicans should look to the Senate to see how things get done.”

Washington- Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has repeatedly said he is “fine” since he froze up midsentence during a press conference on Wednesday. And now his office is trying to tamp down speculation that he might not fill out his term as leader because of his health.
In a statement, his office said McConnell appreciates the continued support of his colleagues and “plans to serve his full term in the job they overwhelmingly elected him to do.”
The statement, first reported by Politico, comes after McConnell, 81, has suffered health problems in recent months. At his weekly press conference, he froze and stared vacantly for about 20 seconds before
Joe Biden on Friday delivered remarks at Auburn Manufacturing Inc in Auburn, Maine.
Biden absurdly claimed, “Wages are up after being adjusted for inflation.”
Real wages are down 3% since Joe Biden was installed in January 2021.
He also claimed he cut the national debt by $1.7 trillion. This is a brazen lie.
Biden cracked a joke about an impeachment inquiry being floated by Speaker McCarthy and House Republicans.“Republicans may have to find something else to criticize me for now that inflation is coming down. Maybe they’ll decide to impeach me because it is coming down. I don’t know. I love that one, uh, anyway, that’s another story…” Biden said.

Washington—With heat waves spreading across the United States, President Joe Biden on Thursday announced new steps to protect workers — including a hazard alert notifying employers and employees about ways to stay protected from extreme heat — as well as measures to improve weather forecasts and make drinking water more accessible.
The actions come as nearly 40% of the U.S. population faces heat advisories, according to the National Weather Service. High temperatures have already scorched the Southwest this month, and more heat is expected in the Midwest and the Northeast in the coming days. Washington won’t be spared, and the heat index in the capital could reach 110 degrees Fahrenheit
Former President Donald Trump asked an aide to delete Mar-a-Lago surveillance footage in a bid to wipe evidence in the classified documents investigation, prosecutors charge in a dramatic superseding indictment revealed Thursday.
Special Counsel Jack Smith's team of prosecutors has piled additional charges into the 32-count indictment the former president was already facing – and another Trump aide has now been charged with conspiracy in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case.
Among the charges is that the former president allegedly told aides to 'wipe' security footage from his Florida club's server as a way to foil investigators probing the removal of classified documents from the White House.
The race is on to prevent the sinking of a cargo ship off the Dutch coast which is carrying almost 3,000 vehicles, including 350 Mercedes-Benz, as it burns out of control with an electric car believed to be behind the deadly fire. At least one crew member died and others were injured after fire ripped through the Fremantle Highway, a 18,500-ton car-carrying vessel. Rescue helicopters and boats evacuated 23 crew members from the Panamanian-registered ship. Officials have said there are 'many' wounded. Some suffered broken bones, burns and breathing problems and were taken to hospitals in the northern Netherlands
On Thursday, CNN hosts Poppy Harlow and Boris Sanchez blamed climate change for the recent surge in gas prices with the former saying that the surge in prices is a reason “to get it in check when it comes to climate change.”
On “CNN This Morning,” CNN Chief Business Correspondent Christine Romans stated, “There [are] a couple of things happening here: They’re still well below last year. Last year, at this time, we were hitting record highs, right? $4.30, last year, at this time, today, they’re $3.71. They’ve been jumping overnight. Some of these jumps have been pretty big.
Earlier today Senator Rand Paul went on with Maria Bartiromo on FOX Business Network.
Senator Paul does not support impeachment for Joe Biden at this point. He wants to see more evidence. And, being such an upstanding American citizen, Paul does not believe every president should be impeached. He leave that to Democrats. Later on Thursday morning Senator John Thune joined Stuart Varney and also pushed back against impeachment. Senator Thune and Senator Paul need to see more evidence before they support impeaching Joe Biden. They are upstanding citizens.
Be afraid. Be very, very afraid. United Nations chief Antonio Guterres on Thursday night rolled out some of his most apocalyptic climate rhetoric to date declaring “the era of global warming has ended, the era of global boiling has arrived.”
He went on to lament how “terrifying” it is seeing children “swept away by monsoon rains, families running from the flames, workers collapsing in scorching heat.”
The veteran Portuguese socialist painted his picture of a world in peril during a streamed speech from U.N. headquarters in New York, returning once more to a theme of climate doom he has used almost without respite since he took office.
Martha’s Vineyard law enforcement appears to have left a significant void in the details surrounding the tragic drowning of Obama’s private chef, Tafari Campbell.
The call log of the 911 distress call, received on the night of the accident, conspicuously omits the reason for the call, Daily Mail reported. Tafari Campbell, 45, met his tragic end while paddle boarding on Great Edgartown Pond, Martha’s Vineyard, on Sunday night. He was reportedly not alone, but local police have yet to disclose the other person’s identity.
Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender TikTok influencer, will be embarking on a college speaking tour soon and will be charging up to $40k in fees to talk on subjects like “female empowerment.”

Chinese automakers are looking to flood the United States market with cheap Electric Vehicles (EVs) as President Joe Biden’s administration has made a rapid all-electric, green energy push without having first ensured domestic manufacturing capacity.
According to Axios, Chinese automakers like BYD Co. Ltd., Li Auto, Xpeng Motors, Nio Inc., and Geely are looking to the U.S. market to sell cheap EVs to Americans as the Biden administration makes its push for an all-electric economy. “William Li, CEO of Chinese EV company Nio, recently told the Financial Times that the U.S. should offer Chinese EVs equal access to the American market,
MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan is angry about the FOX News coverage of the Hunter Biden scandals. Having absolutely zero self-awareness, Hasan wondered on Twitter what would happen if Democrats had a propaganda arm in the media.
Apparently, Hasan has never heard of MSNBC. Or CNN. Or the New York Times, the Washington Post, NBC News, ABC News, CBS News, The View, the Huffington Post, etc.
This is the Twitter post that set Hasan off:
President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, could be jailed if he consumes any drugs or alcohol, according to the conditions of his release signed by U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika.
Biden appeared in federal court in Delaware on Wednesday, where he was expected to enter a guilty plea as part of a deal negotiated between his lawyers and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) arising out of charges of illegally possessing a handgun and failing to pay two years’ worth of federal taxes.However, the plea deal fell apart after Judge Noreika questioned whether the deal covered future charges from the DOJ’s ongoing investigation into the first son.
