But I'm carrying the weight of all the useless junk a modern man accumulates,
I'm a statistic in a system that a civil servant dominates.

—Billy Joel, Running On Ice

Lest you thought this was going to be easy.

No sooner had Joe Biden pardoned his son Hunter—which he repeatedly said he wouldn’t do—than the DC swamp continued its contrived concern over President-elect Donald Trump’s ‘controversial’ appointments.1 You have to wonder if Hunter was starting to buckle over sentencing and perhaps willing to turn state’s witness.

Regardless, he gets a sweeping pardon all the way back to 2014 when he (and the ‘big guy’) started collecting paychecks from a Ukrainian energy company.2 And no need for Hunter to worry about any ‘advice and consent’ from a few pusillanimous Republican Senators now willing to throw Trump’s nominees under the bus.

So much for that quaint little notion that ‘no one is above the law.’ Unless, of course, an outgoing pardon for every J6 protestor is forthcoming. I wouldn’t bet on it so Biden will leave a ‘two-tired’ system of justice fully intact.

Indeed, it took an election mandate to finally get special counsel Jack Smith to drop the phony ‘insurrection’ and classified document charges against Trump that should have never been brought.3 And weren’t in the case Democrats.4

Kash Patel

So now comes legal beagle Kash Patel to clean things up at the FBI and the swamp is fit to be tied. Patel was an investigator under Intelligence Committee Chair Devin Nunes (when I was in Congress) and uncovered disturbing Bureau corruption—along with Adam Schiff’s—over the infamous ‘Steele dossier.’
