AG Merrick Garland Timeline Does Not Align with DOJ Claims and Joe Biden Lawyers


During a press conference today, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Robert K Hur as Special Counsel to investigate the Joe Biden classified documents that were removed from the White House during President Obama's term in office (2009 through January 2017). The timeline given by AG Garland does not match up with prior DOJ statements and lawyers representing Joe Biden.
[SOURCES: DOJ Video Here ÔÇô AG Garland Transcript Here ÔÇô AG Press Release Here]



The timeline as described by AG Merrick Garland:


♦ Nov 4, 2022 ÔÇô National Archives notifies DOJ of classified documents located at Penn-Biden Center
♦ Nov 9, 2022 ÔÇô Garland instructs FBI to conduct assessment of classified documents and investigate
♦ Nov 14, 2022 ÔÇô Garland instructs USAO Laush to conduct investigation of events and documents
♦ Dec 20, 2022 ÔÇô Biden Lawyers tell USAO Laush of additional classified documents in Delaware
♦ Jan 5, 2023 ÔÇô USAO Lausch briefs AG Garland and recommends a special counsel be appointed
♦ Jan 12, 2023 ÔÇô Biden Lawyers inform Lausch/Garland additional documents found in Delaware
♦ Jan 12, 2023 ÔÇô Garland appoints Special Counsel Robert Hur


If the FBI began investigating on November 9th, and USAO Lausch began investigating on November 14th, then why was it Joe Biden lawyers informing Laush of additional classified documents found in Delaware on December 20th? Why did the FBI and Lausch not find them?


Why was it Joe Biden Lawyers informing USAO Lausch on January 12th about the third batch of classified documents? Again, where was the FBI and John Lausch?


Nothing about this timeline as described by AG Garland makes sense when contrast with the lawyers from Joe Biden saying earlier today, the Biden team was still doing a classified document search through ÔÇ£last night.ÔÇØ

From AG Merrick Garland remarks (emphasis mine):


[Transcript] [-] ÔÇ£On the evening of November 4, 2022, the National Archives Office of Inspector General contacted a prosecutor at the Department of Justice. It informed him that the White House [Counsel] had notified the Archives that documents bearing classification markings were identified at the office of the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement, located in Washington, D.C. That office was not authorized for storage of classified documents. The prosecutor was also advised that those documents had been secured in an Archives facility.

Tucker Carlson Asks Why are Biden People Telling the DOJ About Biden Classified Documents?



Fox News host Tucker Carlson asks the obvious question, why are Joe Biden people telling the DOJ about Biden having classified documents? Under normal corrupt and easy to handle circumstances the documents would be destroyed, hidden and never revealed; yet here they are being exposed by people in the Biden orbit.


In corrupt DC circles, the Biden revelations show there is some entity and motive behind the discoveries. Tucker Carlson ponders what that agenda is all about.

Iran To Station Warships in Panama Canal

Iran entering Pacific Ocean for first time



Iran's navy is set to station warships for the first time in the Panama Canal, a critical trade route in America's backyard that has never before seen an Iranian military presence.


Rear Admiral Shahram Irani, the commander of Iran's navy, said on Wednesday that his forces will establish a presence in the Panama Canal later this year, marking the first time Iran's military has entered the Pacific Ocean.


Iran in recent years has placed a greater focus on moving its military into Latin American territories as it strengthens relations with anti-American dictators in the region, most notably in Venezuela. Iranian vessels have docked more frequently in Venezuela as Tehran's hardline regime seeks to prop up dictator Nicol?ís Maduro. These moves are meant to provoke the United States and signal that Tehran has the ability to station its military apparatus a stone's throw from U.S. territory.


Joseph Humire, a national security analyst who focuses on Latin American issues as executive director of the Center for a Secure Free Society think tank, said Iran has been laying the groundwork for this type of voyage by holding joint exercises with allies such as Russia and China, two nations that have also been strengthening their ties with Latin American countries.


"This is what Iran has been building in Latin America for the past 30 or 40 years" by establishing embassies and bilateral agreements with a host of nations, Humire said.


Iran's goal "has always been to have a military presence in Latin America, so it's not surprising at all for its navy to announce it's going to make moves on the Panama Canal," Humire said, noting that in addition to Venezuela and Nicaragua, Iran has opened relations with Colombia.


"This is a tremendous escalation if it is to happen," Humire said. "Many people may discount Iran in terms of its capabilities … but I would not discount it because they have been building to this for a very long time."


Iranian rear admiral Irani said the navy presence in the Panama Canal is meant to "strengthen our maritime presence in international waters," according to comments published by Iran's state-controlled media.


"Today we can say that there is no scientific barrier to grow in that field," Irani said, adding that the Iranian naval forces are sailing in the Pacific Ocean for the first time.


It is likely Iran sees its presence in Latin America as a means to bolster and protect its interests in countries like Venezuela, where Iran has been helping Maduro repair his country's dilapidated oil refineries. The two rogue regimes signed a 20-year cooperation plan in June 2022, when hardline Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi was in the country for meetings with Maduro.


Latin American dictatorships have also served as a hub for Iran to evade U.S. sanctions and make arms deals.




Hezbollah, the Iranian-controlled terror group, also has a presence in Latin America that has been gaining ground for years. Hezbollah militants are known to travel freely in Venezuela and across the relatively lawless Tri-Border Area that includes Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina.

Ex-Brazilian President Bolsonaro to be Investigated Over Riots



Jair Bolsonaro faces a probe after his supporters stormed government buildings.

Brazil’s Supreme Court approved a request from the prosecutor general’s office on Friday to investigate former president, Jair Bolsonaro, on suspicion of inciting riots in the capital.



On Sunday, Bolsonaro’s supporters stormed and looted buildings in the capital, Brasilia, that house the presidential office, parliament, and the Supreme Court. They were protesting the outcome of the contentious October presidential, which leftist politician Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva won by a razor-thin margin of less than 2%.



Bolsonaro posted a video on Facebook on January 10, in which a regional official claimed that “Lula has not been elected by the Brazilian people.” Judge Alexandre de Moraes said in a statement that by posting the now-deleted video that questioned the legality of the vote, “Bolsonaro delivered a public incitement to commit crimes.” He added that although the video was posted two days after the Brasilia attacks, there was a “connection” between the message spread by the former president and the violence.


“It is important to point out that the former President Jair Bolsonaro has repeatedly engaged in the same conduct for which he is now being investigated,” de Moraes wrote.


The judge requested that Facebook’s parent company, Meta, preserve the video in question so that investigators can analyze its impact. De Moraes has not ordered that Bolsonaro be questioned immediately, saying that a hearing on the matter will be held later. Bolsonaro is currently out of the country.


Bolsonaro, a former army captain, condemned the violence on Monday. “Peaceful demonstrations, within the law, are part of democracy. But depredations and invasions of public buildings like we saw today, like the acts done by the left in 2013 and 2017, are not within the rules,” the former president tweeted, referring to past riots in Brasilia.


Lula, who was sworn in on January 1, suggested that the rioters may have been helped by officials. “We will investigate calmly to see what really happened,” he said this week.


The riots in Brasilia occurred two days after the second anniversary of the storming of the US Capitol by the supporters of former President Donald Trump on January 6, 2021. This prompted the media to draw additional parallels between Trump and Bolsonaro, as the two leaders have often been compared in the past for their style and rhetoric.

COVER UP: Lawyers Found More Classified Documents in Biden's Private Library Than Previously Known



Joe Biden's personal lawyers found more classified documents in the president's private library than previously known.


On Saturday it was revealed at least 5 more classified documents were discovered in at Biden's Wilmington home.


CBS News Friday night reported at least 20 classified documents were discovered so far.


According to Joe Biden's lawyer, Bob Bauer, Biden's personal lawyers do not have security clearances so as soon as they saw the documents marked classified, they stopped the search.


For this reason, this is why the actual number of classified documents stored at Biden's private residence is not known, the lawyer said.

Wells Fargo Cutting Home Loans to Whites, Will Focus On Lending To ‘Minorities’



#1 mortgage lender trying to "advance racial equity in home ownership" at the expense of white home owners amid economic downturn.

Wells Fargo, the top mortgage lending institution in the U.S., announced its cutting home loan services to instead focus on select customers, namely “individuals and families in minority communities.”



The financial services company claimed the decision is based on market changes and a slowing economy, but that apparently isn’t stopping the company from woke virtue-signaling.



“We are making the decision to continue to reduce risk in the mortgage business by reducing its size and narrowing its focus,” Kleber Santos, CEO of Consumer Lending said in a press release, according to the New York Post.

Kristy Fercho, Well Fargo’s head of Home Lending and head of Diverse Segments, Representation and Inclusion, noted that the company instead will “expand” its operations to focus on minority borrowers.


“We will continue to expand our programs to reach more customers in underserved communities by leveraging our strong partnerships with the National Urban League, Unidos US and other non-profit organizations,” Fercho said.


“We also will hire additional mortgage consultants in communities of color,” she added.


The company will reportedly continue to cater to existing customers and “underserved communities.”


The Post also reported the company intends to “expand its retail team by focusing on existing bank customers and underserved communities, invest an additional $100 million to ‘advance racial equity in homeownership’ and deploying additional Home Mortgage Consultants in local minority communities.”



“The press release highlighted that $150 million will also be used to serve minority communities looking to refinance or buy a home, ‘helping more black and hispanic families achieve homeownership,'” The Post added.


This comes amid a general mortgage collapse as the Federal Reserve has been hiking interest rates over the last year to supposedly fight historic 40-year-high inflation.


Though Wells Fargo was recently considered America’s top mortgage servicer with a $962 billion portfolio, its decision to step away from the U.S. mortgage market means a fresh round of layoffs are imminent and a deeper recession is likely in 2023.


“Altogether, the shift will result in a fresh round of layoffs for the bank’s mortgage operations, executives acknowledged, but they declined to quantify exactly how many jobs will be lost. Thousands of mortgage workers were terminated or voluntarily left the company last year as business declined,” CNBC reported.

Ummm...how can they just disregard the fair lending/housing act?

Fair Lending Program



The Civil Rights Division Housing and Civil Enforcement Section vigorously enforces federal fair lending laws to protect equal access to credit.

The Division has authority to enforce the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) and the Fair Housing Act on its own or upon referral from another agency. ECOA prohibits creditors from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age, because an applicant receives income from a public assistance program, or because an applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.

The FHA prohibits discrimination in home mortgage loans, home improvement loans, and other home credit transactions because of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, or disability.
