AG Barr Indicts 8 People Who Illegally Funneled Foreign Money To Schiff, Clinton, Lieu & Cory Booker

Recent reports show that millions of dollars are poured out in a scheme with money finding it’s way into the campaigns of Hillary Clinton, Cory Booker, Ted Lieu, Adam Schiff, Jon Tester, the DNC and others.

So far 8 individuals were indicted in the scheme including Mueller star witness and a pedophile arrested for the second time on charges, George Nader.

There is still no proof that the candidates knew but someone did because buying influence only works if someone knows you are buying influence.

The DOJ reported that earlier today, an indictment was unsealed against the CEO of an online payment processing company, and seven others, charging them with conspiring to make and conceal conduit and excessive campaign contributions, and related offenses, during the U.S. presidential election in 2016 and thereafter.

Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division and Assistant Director in Charge Timothy R. Slater of the FBI’s Washington Field Office made the announcement.

A federal grand jury in the District of Columbia indicted Ahmad “Andy” Khawaja of Los Angeles, California, on Nov. 7, along with George Nader, Roy Boulos, Rudy Dekermenjian, Mohammad “Moe” Diab, Rani El-Saadi, Stevan Hill and Thayne Whipple.

The 53 count indictment charges Khawaja with 2 counts of conspiracy, 3 counts of making conduit contributions, 3 counts of causing excessive contributions, 13 counts of making false statements, 13 counts of causing false records to be filed, and 1 count of obstruction of a federal grand jury investigation.

Nader is charged with conspiring with Khawaja to make conduit campaign contributions, and related offenses. Boulos, Dekermenjian, Diab, El-Saadi, Hill, and Whipple are charged with conspiring with Khawaja and each other to make conduit campaign contributions and conceal excessive contributions, and related offenses.

The indictment says that, from March 2016 through January 2017, Khawaja conspired with Nader to conceal the source of more than $3.5 million in campaign contributions, directed to political committees associated with a candidate for President of the United States in the 2016 election, as the Gateway Pundit reported.

These contributions appeared to be in the names of Khawaja, his wife, and his company. In reality, they allegedly were funded by Nader. Khawaja and Nader allegedly made these contributions in an effort to gain influence with high-level political figures, including the candidate.

As Khawaja and Nader arranged the payments, Nader allegedly reported to an official from a foreign government about his efforts to gain influence.

The indictment also claims that Khawaja conspired with Boulos, Dekermenjian, Diab, El-Saadi, Hill, and Whipple to conceal Khawaja’s excessive contributions, which totaled more than $1.8 million, to various political committees.

Among other things, these contributions allegedly allowed Khawaja to host a private fundraiser for a presidential candidate in 2016 and a private fundraising dinner for an elected official in 2018.

The indictment further claims that, from June 2019 through July 2019, Khawaja obstructed a grand jury investigation of this matter in the District of Columbia. Knowing that a witness had been called to testify before the grand jury, Khawaja allegedly provided that witness with false information about Nader and his connection to Khawaja’s company.

Boulos, Diab, Hill, and Whipple are also charged with obstructing the grand jury’s investigation by lying to the FBI.

Nader is currently in federal custody on other charges.

Republican Lawmaker Demands Schiff’s Phone Records To Be Subpoenaed – It’s Only Fair

GOP Rep. Jim Banks penned a Fox News op-ed on Sunday calling for Rep. Adam Schiff’s phone records to be subpoenaed, after the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee obtained phone records as part of his party’s partisan impeachment inquiry and released them.

In the phone records Adam Schiff subpoenaed, there were calls involving Rep. Devin Nunes, ranking member on the Intelligence Committee, as well as Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and investigative reporter John Solomon.

“I join many Americans in being sick and tired of powerful, entrenched Democrats like House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff breaking rules, crossing the line and never being held accountable,” Banks wrote. “This is why I’ve called for a tit for tat. I want Schiff’s phone records to be subpoenaed by the only person in Washington with the power and opportunity to do it.”

That being Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham.

“None of these people were notified that their call records were being subpoenaed. They were surprised to see their private phone records published in Schiff’s report arising out of the impeachment inquiry his committee conducted regarding President Trump,” Banks added.

“It doesn’t take a constitutional lawyer to recognize that subpoenaing these call records violates the spirit of the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment, which prohibits unlawful searches and seizures.”

Banks also said that Adam Schiff is “so brazen” here because “he knows he’ll get away with it.”

“Unsurprisingly, the mainstream media have given Schiff a free pass,” he penned. “They’ve gleefully folded Nunes and his phone records with Rudy Giuliani, President Trump’s personal attorney, in their snowballing conspiracy theory that is fueling the impeachment inquiry.”

Dem Congressman Claims President Trump Must Be Impeached As Penance For Slavery

Democratic Texas Rep. Al Green claimed that President Donald Trump’s impeachment was necessary to deal with the “original” sin of slavery.

The congressman appeared on MSNBC on Saturday and cited an interest in acting on behalf of people of color. “I do believe, ma’am, that we have to deal with the original sin,” Green said to host Alex Witt.

“We have to deal with slavery. Slavery was the thing that put all of what President Trump has done lately into motion. It’s [the] insidious scion of racism. The president has played on racism, and he’s used that as a weapon to galvanize a base of support to mobilize people,” he continued.

Rep. Al Green, 73, who has been advocating to impeach President Trump since taking office in 2017, said in May that he was concerned that failure to impeach could lead to a Trump victory in 2020.

“I’m concerned that if we don’t impeach this president, he will get reelected,” Green said in an interview at the time.

The Texas Democrat forced a vote on the impeachment of the President in the House three times for various reasons but has stated that he doesn’t feel President Trump should be impeached “needlessly.”

He also stated that the president could be impeached multiple times if need be.

“The Constitution allows a president to be impeached more than once,” Green said amid doubt that the Senate would vote to remove the president.

“If we impeach now, or at some time in the near future, for one issue that we dearly should, then we find later that the president has other issues that merit impeachment, we can impeach again. There is no limit on the number of times,” he added.

Dem Senator Claims Handful Of His Republican Colleagues Consider Voting To Remove Trump

Without naming names, Democrat Senator Chris Murphy claimed a “small list” of his Republican Senate Colleagues are considering voting to remove President Trump.

While this may upset some future Trump voters, Chris Murphy is in effect also acknowledging removing President Trump would likely be impossible, since it would require 20 GOP Senators to vote with Democrats to remove Trump and 20 is most certainly not “a small list.”

In terms of “best guesses” on who some of those Senators in the “small list” might be, Mitt Romney would top the list, who has openly said he would consider voting to impeach President Trump.

Next on the list would be Lisa Murkowski, who both voted against the Obamacare skinny repeal and against confirming Justice Kavanaugh.

Then there is Susan Collins, who also voted against Obamacare skinny repeal and ended up voting to confirm Justice Kavanaugh, but was considered the toss-up swing vote.

The Hill reported that Sen. Chris Murphy on Friday stated that he has spoken with a “handful” of Republican colleagues who would consider voting to remove Trump after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House will move to impeach him.

Asked during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” whether he has spoken with “a single GOP colleague in the Senate who’s even considering voting for impeachment,” Murphy answered affirmatively.

“Yes,” he said, while declining to name any colleagues.

“It’s a small list, on one hand,” Murphy said.

Senator Chris Murphy claimed that he thought there was a maximum of five Republican senators who might vote to remove President Donald Trump.

Doug Collins Demands Minority Hearing Day In Writing, Jogs Nadler’s Memory That It’s Not Optional

Rep. Doug Collins doubled down on his recent demands that House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler respond to GOP requests to call their own witnesses in the impeachment proceedings, sending the Democrat a letter demanding a “minority day of hearings.”

The Georgia Republican and member of the House Judiciary Committee joined his colleagues in a letter reminding Jerry Nadler of his “obligation” to schedule a Republican minority hearing day before articles of impeachment against the President can be decided by the committee.

“During yesterday’s impeachment hearing, Representative Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) furnished you with a timely demand for a minority day of hearings, signed by all Republican Members of the Committee,” Rep. Doug Collins wrote to Jerry Nadler in the letter dated Dec. 6.

“You declined repeated requests by Republican members during the hearing to acknowledge your obligation to schedule such a hearing or to provide any details on your planned schedule for further impeachment proceedings,” he added, calling the impeachment a “sham.”

The letter also invoked a clause stating that “Minority Members ‘shall be entitled to … call witnesses selected by the minority to testify with respect to that measure or matter during at least one day of hearing thereon.’”

“The requested minority hearing day must take place before articles of impeachment are considered by the Committee,” the letter said, coming one day after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that Democrats would “proceed with articles of impeachment” against the President.

Collins along with his Republican colleague Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner from Wisconsin addressed the scheduling of the requested hearing and what Nadler’s planned next steps were in the impeachment process during the committee’s first day of hearings this week. The lawmakers made no progress though as Nadler refused to recognize them during the hearing.

In his closing statement, Rep. Doug Collins again demanded answers from the chairman.

“When do you plan on scheduling our minority hearing day?” he asked

Doug Collin’s listed witnesses Republicans were seeking to call in a letter to the chairman, including Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, as well as the anonymous whistle-blower, former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter, Devon Archer, a former board member at Burisma, and others.

In Unexpected Move, Justice Ginsburg Rules In Trump’s Favor, Halts Dems Order For Financial Records

President Trump won a brief, unexpected respite from the Dems’ impeachment efforts Friday when left-wing Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg issued a temporary order blocking some of their subpoena requests.

“Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg temporarily blocked a lower court ruling ordering two banks to release President Donald Trump’s financial records to House Democrats,” Politico reported.

“Trump had asked Ginsburg to consider the emergency request earlier Friday. The temporary stay sets the issue on hold pending full consideration by the high court, it does not reflect how judges will rule in the underlying case.”

Ginsburg’s unexpected move left many conservatives wondering whether she’ll soon be “canceled” by the left and accused of being a Russian asset:

Reports say that the order is valid until 5:00 pm next Friday, and the Dems on the House Financial Services Committee and House Intelligence Committee have until Dec. 11 to respond to the president’s legal arguments.

“Upon consideration of the application of counsel for the applicants, it is ordered that the mandate of the United States Supreme Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, Case No. 19-1540, issued December 3, 2019, is hereby recalled and stayed until 5 p.m. on December 13, 2019. It is further ordered that a response be filed on or before December 11, 2019 by 11 a.m,” the order signed by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg reads.

The surprise ruling came after a federal appeals court in New York “ruled on Tuesday that Deutsche Bank and Capital One should comply with subpoenas from the House Financial Services and House Intelligence committees seeking information about Trump’s finances,” according to Politico.

The Dems have reportedly been seeking access to Trump’s bank accounts, transaction details and investment portfolios, and not only of the president but also of the Trump organization and his three oldest children.

If you ask yourselves why, probably to bolster the otherwise-flailing impeachment efforts against him.

In response to Tuesday’s ruling, President Trump’s legal team reportedly argued Friday that the Democrats’ subpoenas “do not fall within the [House committees’] constitutional or statutory authority.”

“The Court should grant this application to recall and stay the mandate,” they reportedly said. “The Court concluded that a stay is warranted in Mazars and, as House Counsel correctly explained to the Second Circuit, ‘Mazars involves the same legal issues presented here.’”

Dem Rep. Movita-Johnson Charged For Stealing More Than $500K From Non-Profit, Resigns In Shame

Another day another crooked politician goes down the drain. In this case, it is Movita Johnson-Harrell, the first female member of the Pennsylvania state house was indicted with looting her nonprofit meant to help the underprivileged for personal gain.

She stole over $500,000 and spent the cash on lavish vacations and a Porsche.

“While I dispute many of the allegations lodged against me, I accept responsibility for some missteps made before I became an elected official,” Johnson-Harrell wrote in a letter to Speaker Mike Turzai.

“I am choosing to resign to protect my district, to allow for an orderly election for my successor, and to focus on my defense to these allegations.”

She quickly changed her tune and as of today will plead guilty and will try to work a deal with the prosecutors to limit her prison time. But she spend time in jail the prosecutor has made clear.

The Daily Beast also reported that the Pennsylvania state representative has been charged with stealing over $500,000 from a nonprofit she founded to pay for her vacations, online shopping sprees, and a Porsche, prosecutors announced Wednesday.

Democrat Rep. Movita Johnson-Harrell representing a West Philadelphia district, was charged with several counts—including theft, perjury, and tampering with public records—for allegedly stealing money from Motivations Education and Consultation (MECA) by diverting money meant for Medicare and Social Security disability funds, the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office said.

“When corruption erodes the trust that is built between governmental entities and citizens, no one wins,” Pennsylvania AG Josh Shapiro said in a press release. “I’ve said time and time again as Attorney General that no one is above the law, no matter their position of power. And today is no different.”

Johnson-Harrell who became the first female Muslim member of the state House after winning a special election in March, turned herself in to Philadelphia police on Wednesday and agreed to plead guilty to the charges, Shapiro said. She also has agreed to resign from her political post.

“She has agreed to take responsibility for her crimes and will plead guilty to her charges,” Shapiro said in a Wednesday press conference.

PA Attorney General: “Attorney General Josh Shapiro announced theft, perjury, tampering and other charges today against Philadelphia Rep. Movita Johnson-Harrell following an investigation into her operation of a non-profit organization dedicated to helping those who suffered with chronic mental illness, intellectual disabilities, substance abuse disorders, the homeless, seniors, and children.”

“Representative Johnson-Harrell continuously diverted Medicaid and social security disability funds from her charity to help Philadelphia’s most vulnerable communities for her own personal use. She spent almost $15,000 on clothing, including online shopping sprees at Ralph Lauren and fox fur coats. She traveled to Mexico, Orlando, Georgia and Maryland on lavish trips costing $16,000 of MECA funds,” Attorney General Shapiro said. “She spent $2,000 on overdue car payments on her Porsche. Another $4,000 on tuition for a relative. And, she spent almost $20,000 on overdue mortgage payments.”

Biden Calls Iowa Voter Fat, Dares Him To Push-up Duel For Questioning Ukraine Deal, Gets Ripped For Being a Bully

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden took heat for a comment he made at a campaign event when he called a voter from Iowa “fat” and “sedentary.”

The outburst from the former vice president came Thursday at a campaign event in Iowa. The voter initially asked Biden about his son, Hunter, and his connection with Ukraine before the Delaware Democrat attacked him.

“You, on the other hand, sent your son over there to get a job and work for a gas company and who had no experience in natural gas,” he said.

“You’re selling access to the president just like he is.”

Ouch. Enter Joe Biden.

“You’re a damn liar, man. That’s not true. And no one has ever said that.”

“Let him go. Let him go,” Biden said.

“You want to check my shape man, let’s do pushups together here, man,” Biden lashed out. “Let’s run. Let’s do whatever you want to do. Let’s take an IQ test. Ok?”

“I’m not sedentary,” Biden added.

“The reason I’m running is because I’ve been around a long time and I know more than most people now and I can get things done. And that’s why I’m running.”

“No one has said my son has done anything wrong,” Biden said.

“I didn’t say you were doing anything wrong,” the man said.

“You said I set up my son to work on an oil company,” Biden said. “Isn’t that what you said? Get your words straight, Jack!”

Biden slipped and called the man “fat” to which the man responded.

“You don’t have any more backbone than Trump does.”

“Well, I’m not voting for you,” the man said.

“Where Did She Get This Power?” – Ken Starr Rips Nancy Pelosi, Says She Is Abusing Her Power

Stunned by Nancy Pelosi’s “abuse of power,” Ken Starr was not shy about explaining his point of view. He accused Pelosi of outrageously seizing control of the judicial committee.

Starr is accusing her of interfering in the deliberate process of the committee mirroring Jonathon Turley’s charge that the Democrats are rushing this impeachment.

He then added the dagger and predicted GOP Senators may rise up in indignation and outright dismiss the charges against President Trump without holding a trial.

Starr appeared on “The Brian Kilmeade Show” on Fox News Radio to discuss the impeachment and stated that he was shocked by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s “abuse of power.”

“It’s an outrage to seize control of the deliberate process of a committee — [it] simply compounds a series of very, very terrible abuses,” he said.

“The House Judiciary committee with its incredibly rich history needs to go into… an open session and debate this.”

“Where did she get this power?” Starr asked. “I am honestly surprised. Then again, why shouldn’t I be surprised?”

“Because back early in the fall, with no debate in the people’s House she says, ‘we now have an impeachment inquiry.’ Now she’s dictating the committee to actually draft articles of impeachment? It is an abuse of power.”

He also noted that 31 Democrats supported the Bill Clinton impeachment inquiry and in the case of Richard Nixon, he was facing a united House of Representatives before he resigned.

”Just the opposite of what we’re experiencing now. A strict party-line vote,” said Ken Starr, adding that Nancy Pelosi is acting to achieve her desired political outcome.

“I think this may lead to a [Senate] motion to dismiss, which I don’t favor. If the House of Representatives says we’re going to impeach, then the Senate should hold a trial.”

“But I think this may be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. And that Republicans in the Senate just rise up in righteous indignation and say, ‘this is absolutely unacceptable.’”

Kellyanne Conway’s Husband Rips First Lady Melania For Defending Her Son Barron

White House adviser Kellyanne Conway’s husband, George Conway, ripped First Lady Melania Trump for defending her son Barron yesterday.

Barron’s name was invoked by Pamela Karlan in an bad attempt to score cheap political points yesterday to almost universal condemnation.

Karlan clearly rehearsed the line and thought she had a winner when she could have easily said Trump cannot make Ivanka a princess or something like that to make her point.

But she was too clever for her own good and dragged a teenager into the mix. Conway is blaming the first lady for helping make the story go viral, but the fact is Karlan apologized so she knows she crossed the line.

As George did by going after first lady Melania for something anyone would do.

The Hill reported that Stanford Law School professor Pamela Karlan made a joke about Barron’s name during her remarks.

“Contrary to what President Trump has said, Article 2 does not give him the power to do anything he wants, and I’ll just give you one example that shows you the difference between him and a king, which is the Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility, so while the president can name his son Barron, he can’t make him a baron,” she told lawmakers on the House Judiciary Committee.

First lady Melania later criticized Karlan on Twitter, writing, “A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics. Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering, and using a child to do it.”

But George Conway, husband of Kellyanne Conway, accused Melania of amplifying Karlan’s comments, which he called a “nothingburger reference.”

“So therefore you’re amplifying what was a nothingburger reference a hundred-thousand-fold. Got it,” Conway tweeted.
