What Durham Didn’t Tell Us

June 5, 2024 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

Originally Published 5/16/23

The FBI is fatally corrupt. The justice system is totally broken.

That’s what we can conclude from the Durham report. Special counsel John Durham’s report hammers home two separate points time and again: The FBI opened an investigation of the Trump campaign entirely without reason or any underlying predication, and the FBI protected Hillary Clinton’s campaign at the same time that it aggressively pursued Donald Trump.

But the Durham report is also deeply flawed. There are no convictions or referrals of major Russiagate plotters and players.Continue Reading

The Biggest Revelation From the Durham Report

June 5, 2024 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

By Hans Mahncke (originally published on May 16, 2023)

Even as the dust is starting to settle over last week’s Durham Report revelations, it will take weeks, months, and perhaps even years to fully take in every aspect of the FBI’s scheme against President Donald Trump. However, there’s little doubt that the report’s most crucial finding concerns the tip that led the FBI to open its investigation into the Trump campaign.

Until last week, the official story was that a Trump campaign adviser, George Papadopoulos, got drunk in a London bar and told an Australian diplomat, Alexander Downer, about a secret plot between Russia and the Trump campaign to defeat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential race by anonymously releasing her emails. According to the official narrative, Downer took Papadopoulos’s information to the U.S. embassy in London, which then informed the FBI.Continue Reading

EXCLUSIVE: Leaked Pentagon Report Forensically Dismantled Fauci-Led Natural Origin Study

June 5, 2024 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

By Hans Mahncke (originally published on May 16, 2023)

Researchers at the Department of Defense wrote a devastating takedown in 2020 of the Proximal Origin study that was used by Dr. Anthony Fauci as proof that the COVID-19 virus had come from nature.

The takedown, dated May 26, 2020, was written in the form of a working paper called “Critical analysis of Andersen et al. The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2.” It was authored by Cmdr. Jean-Paul Chretien, a Navy doctor working at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, and Robert Cutlip, a research scientist at the Defense Intelligence Agency.Continue Reading

An In-Depth Look at the Burst of New Revelations on the Biden Family’s Foreign Business Dealings

June 5, 2024 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

Originally Published 5/12/23

Many of the corruption allegations currently swirling around President Joe Biden have been around for years, dating back to his son Hunter Biden’s early trips to China with him on Air Force Two. But recently, there’s been a flood of new information that has come to light.

This includes allegations from two separate whistleblowers—one with the IRS involving the Hunter Biden criminal probe and another who’s alleging corruption and potential bribes on the part of Joe Biden. There are also allegations from Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) regarding flows of foreign money through shell companies to the Biden family.Continue Reading

Why Was EcoHealth Alliance’s Grant Reinstated Despite Group’s Apparent Failure to Comply With NIH Conditions?

June 5, 2024 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

By Hans Mahncke (originally published on May 11, 2023)

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has reinstated a grant that had been terminated by President Donald Trump in April 2020. However, a document first obtained by the House Oversight Committee reveals that the NIH’s conditions for reinstatement have not been met.

The grant, titled “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence,” was originally awarded in 2014 by Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). Under the terms of the grant, EcoHealth Alliance, a government-funded nonprofit that purportedly engages in research to prevent pandemics, was awarded $3.8 million over five years to assess the spillover potential of bat viruses “using reverse genetics, pseudovirus and receptor binding assays, and virus infection experiments in cell culture and humanized mice.” Put in simple terms, NIAID was paying EcoHealth to genetically engineer and manipulate bat viruses in labs.Continue Reading

NIH Leadership Was Deeply Anxious About Wuhan Lab Funding, New Emails Reveal

June 5, 2024 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

By Hans Mahncke (originally published on May 4, 2023)

New National Institutes of Health (NIH) emails released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) reveal the stark contrast between the public and private views of top NIH officials on the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The new batch of FOIA emails, which was obtained by independent journalist James Tobias, shows a pattern of deception at the highest echelons of the NIH, including both its former director, Francis Collins, and current NIH Director Lawrence Tabak, who was previously Collins’s deputy.Continue Reading

The Potential Implications of Trump’s Legal Team’s Letter to Congress

June 5, 2024 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

By Hans Mahncke (originally published on May 1, 2023)

On April 26, a lawyer for former President Donald Trump, Timothy Parlatore, along with three additional lawyers, sent a 10-page letter to the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio). The letter seeks Turner’s intervention in special counsel Jack Smith’s criminal investigation regarding Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents.

The letter details, for the first time, Trump’s side of how a supposedly unremarkable document packing and storing issue culminated in the Aug. 8, 2022, raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, as well as in the possible indictment of a former president for mishandling classified documents.Continue Reading

Teixeira Whistleblower Case Raises Troubling Questions

June 5, 2024 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

Originally Published 4/20/23

Last week, 21-year-old low-level Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Douglas Teixeira was arrested and charged with violating the Espionage Act and leaking sensitive defense material.

Among other things, the leaked top-secret documents show that the Biden administration has been misleading the public about the reality of the situation in Ukraine, overstating the country’s success in its war with Russia.Continue Reading

Before the Suspected Wuhan Lab Leak, a Key Scientist Knew of the Risks

June 5, 2024 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

By Hans Mahncke (originally published on April 18, 2023)

Before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, a group initiated by Peter Daszak was soliciting funding for a lab leak prevention and preparation program, a newly discovered document reveals. Daszak later became known as a leading figure in Dr. Anthony Fauci’s funding of gain-of-function experiments at the Wuhan Institute of Virology in China.

Daszak also helped instigate the infamous Lancet letter, which was published at the start of the pandemic in February 2020, that had the aim of shutting down any discussions about the possibility that COVID-19 had emerged from a lab.Continue Reading

ANALYSIS: Unlike Trump, Democrats Escaped Prosecution for Election Violations

June 5, 2024 by Jeff Carlson, CFA

Originally Published 4/17/23

As radio host Mark Levin recently noted, when it comes to Democrats and real campaign violations, “there is no justice.” In contrast to the weak charges leveled against former President Donald Trump, Levin provided a series of concrete examples of Democrat campaign violations, including the $719,000 in fines against participants in the 1996 Democratic Party fundraising scandals.

In that scandal, Democratic fundraisers set specific prices for foreign nationals, including those from China and Korea, to make illegal campaign contributions in return for meetings with then-President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore. Foreign individuals and organizations are barred from contributing to federal elections. Those penalized included the Democratic National Committee (DNC), the Clinton–Gore campaign, and roughly two dozen people and corporations acting as conduits for the illegal contributions.Continue Reading
