JUDICIAL WATCH SUES FBI FOR RECORDS ON HUNTER BIDEN GUN SCANDAL

[[link removed]]
Joe Biden’s FBI and Secret Service are actively trying to keep
the American people from learning the facts about how a gun owned by
Hunter Biden was reportedly tossed in a grocery store trash can across
the street from a high school.

We filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit for FBI records
about the gun (_Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice_
[[link removed]]
(No. 1:23-cv-00920)).

Judicial Watch sued after the FBI withheld records in response to our
January 30, 2023, FOIA request for:

* All records, including investigative reports, telephone logs,
witness statements, memoranda, and firearms purchase documentation,
related to the reported purchase, possession, and disposal of a
firearm owned by Hunter Biden discarded in a Delaware trash receptacle
circa October 2018.
* All records of communications of FBI officials regarding the
reported purchase, possession, and disposal of the firearm.

In a separate lawsuit, we received records
[[link removed]]
from
the United States Secret Service that implicate the FBI in the unusual
action to help Hunter Biden.

Included in those records is a response to a February 2021 email
[[link removed]]
inquiry from _Politico _reporter Ben Schreckinger regarding the Secret
Service’s involvement in the investigation of the Hunter Biden gun
incident. In the response, the Communications Department asks for
“more information or documentation.” Schreckinger responds:
“Sure thing. Agents visited StarQuest Shooters & Survival Supply and
asked to take possession of the paperwork Hunter had filled out to
purchase a gun there. The FBI also had some involvement in the
investigation.”

Also in those records is a March 2021 email from _New York Post_
reporter Lorena Mongelli, who reached out
[[link removed]]
to the Secret Service Communications Office, asking for comment on
text messages on Hunter Biden’s lost laptop:

> It appears the text messages were sent from Hunter Biden in which he
> indicates that the Secret Service did in fact respond to the Oct.
> 23, 2018 [gun] incident. This information contradicts your previous
> statement relating to the incident and we would like to know whether
> the Secret Service would like to respond to these new findings.
A person from the Communications Office, whose name is redacted
replies: “We have received your inquiry, would you be able to
provide copies of these alleged text messages for reference?”
Mongelli responds:

> The Daily Mail actually posted
>
[[link removed]]
> copies of the same text messages the NY Post is referencing.
>
> This is what one text message says:
>
> “She stole the gun out of my trunk lock box and threw it in a
> garbage can full to the top at Jansens [sic]. Then told me it was my
> problem to deal with,” Hunter wrote.
>
> “Then when the police the FBI the secret service came on the scene
> she said she took it from me because she was scared I would harm
> myself due to o my drug and alcohol problem and our volatile
> relationship and that she was afraid for the kids.”
In October 2020, _The Blaze _reported
[[link removed]]
that in October 2018, Hunter Biden’s handgun was taken by Hallie
Biden, the widow of then-presidential nominee Joe Biden’s son Beau.
In 2021,_ Politico _reported
[[link removed]


> Hallie took Hunter’s gun and threw it in a trash can behind a
> grocery store, only to return later to find it gone.
>
> Delaware police began investigating, concerned that the trash can
> was across from a high school and that the missing gun could be used
> in a crime, according to law enforcement officials and a copy of the
> police report obtained by POLITICO.
>
> But a curious thing happened at the time: Secret Service agents
> approached the owner of the store where Hunter bought the gun and
> asked to take the paperwork involving the sale, according to two
> people, one of whom has firsthand knowledge of the episode and the
> other was briefed by a Secret Service agent after the fact.
What all this means: the FBI and Secret Service have both been
implicated in a corrupt clean-up operation to protect Hunter Biden
from the criminal consequences of his gun scandal. We will keep you
updated as we learn more!

JUDICIAL WATCH SUES FOR RECORDS ABOUT INTIMIDATION OF SUPREME COURT
JUSTICES BY THE LEFT

Conservative Supreme Court justices are under assault by the extremist
left with the tacit support of the Biden administration. And Judicial
Watch just filed suit to expose this attack on our constitutional
system of government.

We filed a Maryland Public Information Act (PIA) lawsuit for records
from the Montgomery County Police Department concerning unlawful
protests outside the homes of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh and
Chief Justice Roberts (_Judicial Watch, Inc. v. Montgomery County
Police Department_
[[link removed]]
(No. C-15-CV-23-001360)).

Judicial Watch filed the suit in Montgomery County Circuit Court after
the Montgomery County Police failed to respond to a June 16, 2022,
Public Information Act (PIA) request for:

> All records including email communications (including emails,
> complete email chains, and email attachments), memoranda, draft
> memoranda, reports, investigative reports, incident reports and
> other communications maintained by the Montgomery County Police
> Department and/or communicated with any of the below listed
> agencies, or employees of those agencies concerning protests,
> demonstrations, marches, pickets, or gatherings at the Montgomery
> County dwellings of Supreme Court Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.
> and Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh.
>
> (1) The U.S. Marshals Service (domain usdoj.gov)
>
> (2) The Federal Bureau of Investigation (domain fbi.gov)
>
> (3) The Department of Justice (domain justice.gov)
>
> (4) Maryland State Police (domain maryland.gov)
>
> (5) Maryland Attorney General’s Office (domain oag.state.md.gov)
On May 2, 2022, _Politico_ published a leaked draft
[[link removed]]
of what would soon be U.S. Supreme Court’s majority opinion in
_Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization_
[[link removed]]
(No. 19-1392), a decision that would later overturn the court’s
pro-abortion decisions _Roe v. Wade_
[[link removed]]
(410 U.S. 113
(1971)) and _Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. Casey_
[[link removed]]
(505 U.S. 833
(1992)).

After the leak, leftists targeted conservative justices’ homes with
protests
[[link removed]]
in violation of federal law
[[link removed]],
which prohibits
“interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of
justice … with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness,
or court officer.” Several justices received death threats
[[link removed]]
and, on June 8, 2022, a heavily armed
[[link removed]]
man was arrested outside Justice Kavanaugh’s home in Bethesda and
was charged with attempted murder
[[link removed]].

Because the violations of the protest law protecting justices has yet
to be enforced, Attorney General Merrick Garland was accused during a
recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing
[[link removed]]
of politicizing
[[link removed]]
the Justice Department and prosecuting conservatives more aggressively
than liberals.

For more than a year, the Montgomery County Police Department has
unlawfully stonewalled our request for records and communications with
the Biden administration about the dangerous and illegal protests that
were trying to intimidate Supreme Court justices at their homes. So
now we’re going to court.

NASA SEEKS PUBLIC INPUT TO BETTER SUPPORT MINORITIES IN ITS EQUITY
MISSION

Now you, too, can participate in President Biden’s “equity”
mission. Our space agency isn’t looking to the stars with this one
but rather to “underserved communities” – our _Corruption
Chronicles_ blog has the details
[[link removed]]
on this
latest critical race theory-inspired Biden program:

> A year after launching an extensive Equity Action Plan
>
[[link removed]
> gave around $2 billion to “small disadvantaged businesses,” the
> nation’s space agency wants to do more to advance racial equity
> and support underserved communities with the billions of dollars in
> grants and contracts it distributes annually. To complete this
> important mission the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
> (NASA) is seeking input from the public on the barriers and
> challenges that prevent members of underserved communities from
> receiving funds. The agency is explicitly “seeking for the public
> to provide specific feedback on the procurement, grant and
> cooperative agreement regulations, policies, practices, and
> processes that deter entities from pursuing opportunities for NASA
> procurements, grants, and cooperative agreements,” according to a
> recently published Federal Register announcement
>
[[link removed]].
>
> NASA will review the input and use the information to evaluate,
> implement, modify, expand, and streamline how it doles out money to
> “remove systemic inequitable barriers and challenges facing
> members of underserved communities,” the new Request for
> Information (RFI) document states. NASA’s fiscal year 2023 budget
> is $32.35 billion
>
[[link removed]]
> and it plans to spend a big chunk, about one-third or $10.42
> billion, on the type of awards it wants to give more minorities via
> thousands of grants and contracts. It is not enough that under its
> Equity Action Plan NASA already requires contractors to submit
> diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility plans for contracts
> and that at least one quote be from a minority-owned business. When
> the agency published the plan about a year ago it promised to assess
> programs, identify systemic barriers, and engage in outreach to
> ensure fair and impartial access and representation for all those
> who seek to contribute to work in space. The areas of focus include
> increasing contractors from underserved communities, expanding
> equity in the procurement process, mitigating environmental
> challenges in underserved communities, and expanding access to
> Limited English Proficient (LEP) populations within underserved
> communities.
>
> As for the new public input venture, NASA provides a list of
> questions as guidance. The agency asks for additional Diversity,
> Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility (DEIA) suggestions (besides its
> minority contract quota) to ensure grants include members of
> underserved communities. It also wants ideas to investigate and
> ensure contractors are “diligently working to include members of
> underserved communities” and specifics on regulations, policies
> and practices that have prevented minorities from receiving awards.
> NASA also wants to know what resources it could provide to better
> assist underserved communities in identifying new opportunities and
> suggestions to better collaborate with Historically Black Colleges
> and Universities (HBCU) and other Minority Serving Institutions
> (MSI) to advance outreach and increase the number of contracts and
> grants awarded to the “underserved communities.”
>
> To clarify certain terms, the space agency offers definitions in the
> new announcement. It describes equity as the consistent and
> systematic treatment of all individuals in a fair, just, and
> impartial manner, including individuals who belong to communities
> that often have been denied such treatment, such as Black, Latino,
> Indigenous, Native American, other persons of color and LGBTQI+
> persons. Underserved communities are defined as populations and
> geographic communities that have been systematically denied the
> opportunity to participate fully in aspects of economic, social, and
> civic life. Under NASA’s “journey towards equity” a key agency
> goal is to overcome visible and invisible systemic barriers that
> hinder equitable, inclusive access to government programs, according
> to NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. The former astronaut and
> Democratic Florida senator claims his agency’s new objective
> “seeks to further identify and remove the barriers that limit
> opportunity in historically underserved and underrepresented
> communities and anchor equity as a core component in every NASA
> mission to inspire a new, more inclusive generation.”

Until next week …
