In his new book ‘Red-Handed,’ Peter Schweizer details how America’s most powerful elite — from tech CEOs to politicians in office — are selling out America for 1) personal profit and 2) an odd affection for China’s dictatorial model. His book dives into the Biden family connections with China, which he details to Glenn in this clip. For example, Schweizer explains, Hunter Biden’s numerous connections with top-ranked Chinese officials have led to a huge sums of money that he then uses to help fund and support his father’s luxurious lifestyle. It’s massively illegal, so WHY is no one talking about this?!

Keep throwing out Leftist assumptions from Leftist websites, AZ. I’ll look up the Actual Laws.

10USC 284.

Section 5 thru 10. Especially Section 7. Done by the Sec Def. Does NOT need to declare an Emergency. Shows in effect when Obama was President in 2016. I believe it was passed when Bush was President, but I’m not sure….

EDIT/ CORRECTION- Congress tried to pass it in 1989. Codified into Law- 1991.

(5) Counterdrug or counter-transnational organized crime related training of law enforcement personnel of the Federal Government, of State, local, and tribal governments, including associated support expenses for trainees and the provision of materials necessary to carry out such training.

(6) The detection, monitoring, and communication of the movement of-

(A) air and sea traffic within 25 miles of and outside the geographic boundaries of the United States; and

(B) surface traffic outside the geographic boundary of the United States and within the United States not to exceed 25 miles of the boundary if the initial detection occurred outside of the boundary.



(7) Construction of roads and fences and installation of lighting to block drug smuggling corridors across international boundaries of the United States.

(8) Establishment of command, control, communications, and computer networks for improved integration of law enforcement, active military, and National Guard activities.

(9) The provision of linguist and intelligence analysis services.

(10) Aerial and ground reconnaissance.
You do realize that most of the money came from section 2808 in which he had to declare a National Emergency and yes he violated that U S code.

What Did Clinton Know and When Did She Know It? The Russiagate Evidence Builds

As indictments and new court filings indicate that Special Counsel John Durham is investigating Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign for feeding false reports to the FBI to incriminate Donald Trump and his advisers as Kremlin agents, Clinton’s role in the burgeoning scandal remains elusive. What did she know and when did she know it?

Top officials involved in her campaign have repeatedly claimed, some under oath, that they and the candidate were unaware of the foundation of their disinformation campaign: the 35-page collection of now debunked claims of Trump/Russia collusion known as the Steele dossier. Even though her campaign helped pay for the dossier, they claim she only read it after BuzzFeed News published it in 2017.


But court documents, behind-the-scenes video footage and recently surfaced evidence reveal that Clinton and her top campaign advisers were much more involved in the more than $1 million operation to dredge up dirt on Trump and Russia than they have let on. The evidence suggests that the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory sprang from a multi-pronged effort within the Clinton campaign, which manufactured many of the false claims, then fed them to friendly media and law enforcement officials. Clinton herself was at the center of these efforts, using her personal Twitter account and presidential debates to echo the false claims of Steele and others that Trump was in cahoots with the Russians.

Durham Court Filing Reveals DOJ Inspector General Horowitz Withheld Key Evidence From Special Counsel

A new court filing by special counsel John Durham reveals that Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz concealed crucial information from Durham in connection with the ongoing prosecution of Michael Sussmann, a former attorney to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.

The filing also reveals that Horowitz failed to disclose that his office is in possession of two cellphones used by former FBI general counsel James Baker. The phones may contain information that’s important to the Sussmann case, as well as to a separate criminal leak investigation of Baker that Durham personally conducted between 2017 and 2019.

Horowitz first came to public prominence in June 2018 when he issued a report on the FBI’s actions leading up to the 2016 presidential election. Horowitz followed up in December 2019 with another report on the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation and the bureau’s pursuit of a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant on Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

Durham’s filing on Jan. 25 involves discovery issues surrounding Sussmann’s upcoming trial for allegedly making a materially false statement to the FBI’s then-general counsel James Baker

Jan. 6 Committee Accused of Violating House Rules by Refusing to Provide Reports

Now a report reveals the committee is further stonewalling information by refusing to provide the required monthly reports to House members.

Tristan Justice at The Federalist explained House rules require monthly reports on progress.

And, “on Jan. 19, House Republicans investigating the Jan. 6 security breach demanded House administration chair Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., enforce rules that mandate the regular release of reports on committee progress.”

In fact, in a letter The Federalist reported obtaining, Reps. Jim Banks, R-Ind., and Rodney Davis, R-Ill., said, “Monthly reports for all Committees are supposed to be posted on the Committee on House Administration’s website to ensure transparency and provide accountability for Committee investigation and use of official resources.”

SCOTUS agreed with me. He did NOT violate 10US284(section 7). He probably wasn’t even the first President to use that?

This is from SCOTUS:

Ibid. In 2019, the Acting Secretary of Defense transferred approximately $2.5 billion pursuant to Section 8005 and another similar provision to make funds available for DoD to respond to a request from the Department of Homeland Security for counterdrug assistance under 10 U.S.C. 284, including in the form of construction of fences along the southern border of the United States. The questions presented are as follows:
1. Whether respondents have a cognizable cause of action to obtain review of the Acting Secretary's compliance with Section 8005's proviso in transferring funds internally between DoD appropriations accounts.
2. Whether the Acting Secretary exceeded his statutory authority under Section 8005 in making the transfers at issue.
ORDER OF FEBRUARY 3, 2021:
THE MOTIONS TO HOLD FURTHER BRIEFING IN ABEYANCE AND TO REMOVE THE CASES FROM THE FEBRUARY 2021 ARGUMENT CALENDAR ARE GRANTED.

You can refer to that all you want. The case came down to 10USC284. Per SCOTUS

Waving them in and whisking them away on planes and buses isn't gonna work too well for dimms.... well other than passing them around for slave labor.
Well that slave labor as you call it gives the entire country leafy green vegetables during the winter, 90% come from the Yuma area. Facts are the farm labor gets paid well but Americans don't want to do the backbreaking work .

You can deflect back to 284 but facts are most of the money came from 2808.

I don’t have to deflect to anything. Since 1991, Congress has ceded it’s Authority to control funding under certain bureaucracy. (10-284). 284 made the entire thing legal, and Constitutional. At that point, arguing anything else was blowing in the wind, and irrelevant. They cite Section 8005 in the case. 8005 is in your 2808 so it wasn’t ignored. They transferred money from 2808 section 8005 to be used under 10-284. SCOTUS questioned that, and saw it as legal.

I actually detest that Congress have ceded so, and wish the all 44 ‘Czars’(Depts of Bureaucracy) cancelled- because- as the Constitution writes: Appropriations come from the Legislature.

Now you know how I felt when things like OCare were upheld, or the Biden Mandates came along. Judges command down to us in a Post Constitutional World. At least now, for a short time, at least- SCOTUS is divided 3-3-3, with 3 Leftists (Sotomeyer, Kagan, and Breyer); 3 Originalists (Alito, Thomas, and hopefully, Barrrett, or Gorsuch); and 3 we have to wait and see how they vote. Roberts mostly votes Left, but sometimes surprises. Barrett hasn’t established a pattern, and Kavanaugh was hand-picked by Flipflopping Kennedy to be his flipflopping replacement…
