Biden and the Rule of Law

[[link removed]]

President Biden began his presidency with a disturbing inauguration
speech
[[link removed]]
that signaled his administration will target any political opponents
who reject his radical agenda. This would be a continuation of
Obama-era practices, which saw the Obama IRS, DOJ, FBI, CIA, etc. used
to target Obama opponents ranging from small citizen Tea Party groups
to then-candidate Donald Trump. Indeed, that virtually no ordinary
Americans were allowed to view the proceedings in person thanks to a
politicized military shutdown of our nation’s capital doesn’t
augur well for this Republic and our civil liberties.

And then Biden immediately undermined the rule of law by shutting down
virtually all deportations and essentially ending all enforcement of
our nation’s immigration laws. You can read the details here
[[link removed]].

And, of course, Biden’s mere presence in office is a challenge to
the rule of law because of his personal corruption issues.

There is substantial evidence
[[link removed]],
from documents
[[link removed]]
and witness statements, that the Biden family, including President Joe
Biden, may have been involved in criminal activity involving, among
other issues, foreign entities tied to Ukraine and China.

Joe Biden's son Hunter has already acknowledged
[[link removed]]
that he is the target of an FBI criminal investigation. (Judicial
Watch was the first to document that Hunter took five trips to China
[[link removed]
his father was vice president!)

A special counsel should immediately be appointed because the Biden
Justice Department is conflicted in investigating any matter that
could implicate President Biden or his immediate family. The fact that
it hasn’t happened yet tells you a lot about the partisan corruption
of the Justice Department and FBI.

To increase pressure for the rule of law and to educate more
Americans, Judicial Watch created a petition
[[link removed]]
on Change.org calling on the Department of Justice to create a special
counsel to investigate the Biden Family. Our petition continues to
grow! More than 85,000 have signed, and you can too here
[[link removed]].
Be sure also to share it widely. Achieving one million signatures is
within our reach!

In the meantime, you can trust Judicial Watch to do what it does best
– which is to use the courts to hold corrupt politicians such as Joe
Biden accountable to the law. We have dozens of lawsuits and hundreds
of Freedom of Information Act requests already pending – and more
are coming. For example, we are NOT going to forget about the
Obama/Biden spy abuse and other sedition against the Trump
administration and the Constitution.

Judicial Watch and I (and you, dear supporter, with Biden’s implicit
support) have been targeted for Big Tech censorship and suppression
because of our demonstrated record of success.

BIDEN ADVISOR RANKED MAO ZEDONG AMONG ‘FAVORITE POLITICAL
PHILOSOPHERS’

Keep your eye on China.

A national counterintelligence official reportedly
[[link removed]]
warned President Biden that China poses a “more severe” threat to
the country than any other American foe and that it will represent one
of his administration’s “biggest challenges.”

And then there are Hunter Biden’s scandalous dealings with China
that implicate his father.

In addition, a member of Biden’s team (and Obama’s before him)
thought favorably of the blood thirsty communist dictator Mao Zedong.
Our Corruption Chronicles blog has the details
[[link removed]


In a scary preview of what lies ahead, a cherished senior advisor to
President Joe Biden ranked murderous Communist dictator Mao Zedong
among her “favorite political philosophers.” The egregious
admission actually forced the veteran political operative, Anita Dunn,
to resign
[[link removed]]
as Obama’s White House communications director over a decade ago and
now she’s back along with a lengthy roster of leftist officials who
served under the 44th president. Dunn sticks out among the group
because she publicly praised the Chinese Communist revolutionary
responsible for killing tens of millions and it was caught on video
[[link removed]].


The scandalous delivery occurred during a commencement address at a
high school in Washington D.C. while Dunn worked for the American
people. Here is what she said: “The third lesson and tip actually
comes from two of my favorite political philosophers: Mao Zedong and
Mother Teresa – not often coupled with each other, but the two
people I turn to most to basically deliver a simple point, which is,
you’re going to make choices; you’re going to challenge; you’re
going to say, ‘Why not?’; you’re going to figure out how to do
things that have never been done before.” A conservative media
outlet was the first to broadcast the clip and Dunn quit under
pressure after just seven months in the Obama White House. Dunn’s
return to Pennsylvania Avenue comes after serving as the senior
advisor to Biden’s presidential campaign and co-chair of the
Biden-Harris transition team.

Dunn was a key advisor on all aspects of the presidential campaign,
including messaging, debate preparation, and overall strategy,
according to an announcement
[[link removed]]
issued by the Biden-Harris transition this month. She was also a
“key strategist” to Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign before
becoming White House communications director in 2009. “Dunn has also
served in a variety of roles in and out of government for former
Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle and former U.S. Senator Bill
Bradley,” the press release states. The document includes comments
from Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris about the group of
appointees that include Dunn. “Speaking honestly, with empathy, and
directly to the public about our administration will be among the key
pillars in this Presidency and White House,” Biden says. “At a
time when American families are facing numerous challenges, these
appointees will strengthen our administration’s ability to convey
information to the American people and be integral in our team’s
efforts to build our nation back better.” Harris refers to the group
as “dedicated public servants” that will help “deliver on our
commitment to contain the coronavirus pandemic, create an economy that
works for working people, and rebuild our country in a way that lifts
up all Americans.”

Not surprisingly, the announcement fails to mention the admiration
that one of the commander-in-chief’s top advisors has expressed for
an infamous Communist whose legacy is that of a mass murderer. Mao’s
Communist revolution is responsible for tens of millions of deaths and
his disastrous plan to transform China into a Communist wonderland by
ordering the collectivization of the country’s agriculture resulted
in millions of Chinese starving to death. Ironically known as the
“Great Leap Forward,” Communist leaders made owning private land
illegal and emphasized iron and steel production, forcibly removing
millions of agriculture workers from their land, and deploying them to
factories. It was the “most inhumane example of Mao’s contempt for
human life
[[link removed]
according to a prominent historian.

A few years after that catastrophe Mao launched the bloody cultural
revolution to destroy his enemies. Gangs known as the Red Guards beat
up or murdered Intellectuals considered to be enemies of the state.
Teachers were humiliated by having their faces covered in ink, their
bodies draped in bizarre clothes, and a dunce cap. Some were forced to
get down on all fours and bark like dogs. Others were beaten to death,
all in the name of Maoism. In the meantime. Mao expanded China’s
large system of forced labor camps which saw tens of millions of
Chinese die because of primitive living conditions and inhumane
workdays. For a senior advisor to an American president to ever rank
the ruthless dictator among her favorite political philosophers is
downright disturbing.

2021 FORECAST: FOUR FIGHTS TO WATCH

We don’t know for sure what a Biden presidency will bring but given
the current pandemic of corruption here in DC, we can make some
reasonable forecasts. Micah Morrison, our chief investigative
reporter, sets out
[[link removed]]
in his _Investigative Bulletin_ four issues we’re sure to confront.

A new president was sworn in yesterday and despite our differences, we
wish him well. President Biden has signaled he’ll embark on an
ambitious agenda. Here are four fights we’ll be closely watching:

THE BATTLE OVER BORDERS. Biden immediately threw down the gauntlet
with a big move on immigration. He announced plans to send to Congress
a sweeping immigration bill
[[link removed]]
that includes far-reaching amnesty provisions, a fast track for
Dreamers, expanded access to the United States, and whiffs on border
security. Conservative rejection was swift. “A mass amnesty with no
safeguards and no strings attached is a nonstarter,” said Senator
Chuck Grassley. Biden signed a flurry of first-day executive actions
[[link removed]],
including rescinding the travel ban, rolling back immigration
enforcement, and halting construction on the border wall.

THE BATTLE OVER BIG TECH. As the world now knows, with days left in
his presidency, Donald Trump was banned by Twitter, suspended by
Facebook, and kicked off YouTube and Snapchat—an effective silencing
of the president of the United States. Many other conservative voices
have been silenced too. Judicial Watch’s own Tom Fitton was
suspended from Twitter
[[link removed]]
for an innocuous tweet about hydroxychloroquine—the exact same tweet
that Tom had repeatedly posted and that Twitter had found in September
to be not in violation of its rules. Big Tech’s concentration of
power and impact on free speech has become too blatant to ignore. In
2021, watch for the battle over Big Tech to move to Congress and the
courts.

THE BATTLE OVER TRUMP. The former president has decamped to Florida,
but he is certain to stay in the news. He leaves a legacy of
conservative judges, deregulation, and economic growth. His
adversaries are circling
[[link removed]]
with a second impeachment trial, a criminal investigation by the
Manhattan district attorney, a federal tax probe, defamation lawsuits,
and an assault on his worldwide business holdings
[[link removed]].
The harassment and troubles will not cease, but he remains a potent
force in Republican politics. How will he use that power? The
political world will be watching closely.

THE BATTLE OVER BIDEN. With his son’s business dealings—including
with the controversial Ukrainian energy firm Burisma – under FBI
investigation
[[link removed]],
President Biden’s Justice Department faces pressure to hand off the
probe to a special counsel, a development that will engulf the new
administration in controversy. On the legislative front, as an old
Washington hand, the new president knows that the window of
opportunity closes fast. Next January, will President Biden have a
record of legislative achievement, the pandemic erased, the economy
growing? Or will he be seen as feckless and wavering, unable to
achieve his goals, captive to his party’s left-wing
[[link removed]


Time will tell.

The view from here: doubling down on a Senate impeachment trial while
pursuing a politically risky immigration deal is not a smart start.

Until next week …
