JUDICIAL WATCH TEAM OBSERVES HUNGARY ELECTIONS – AS LEFT SWARMS!

[[link removed]]
Viktor Orbán, Hungary’s national-conservative prime minister,
won
[[link removed]]
a fourth consecutive term on April 3 against, in his words, the
“overwhelming force” of “the left at home, the international
left all around, the Brussels bureaucrats, the [George] Soros empire
with all its money, the international mainstream media …”

We were there with a six-member team to observe election day
procedures. It concluded
[[link removed]]
that the administration of the vote on election day was efficient,
orderly, and unremarkable.

The team was led by attorneys who previously worked for the Department
of Justice’s Voting Section monitoring state and federal elections
in the United States. The team also included lawyers who had monitored
elections for us.

Our representatives observed voting in 52 precincts at 27 locations in
and around Budapest. The team did not observe any meaningful problems
throughout the day. Despite a high national turnout rate approaching
70%, lines were usually brief and only rarely exceeded 15 minutes. The
Hungarian electoral practice of including representatives of every
party of any size at each voter registration desk appears to have
contributed to a low-controversy environment. In some ways, according
to the team’s report, the administration of the vote was more
effective, and less chaotic, than what team members had observed in
previous elections in parts of the United States.

Our monitoring methodology emphasizes ballot access, meaning the
ability of citizens to easily register and cast an equal vote in an
election. It particularly focuses on recording specific election say
problems concerning unlawful electioneering, arbitrary variations in
the rules for voting, aggressive voting assistance, unusual ballot
handling, voter intimidation or confrontations, and voter “turn
aways.”

Our methodology contrasted with the approach adopted by other
international observers, who often criticized the Hungarian elections
based on value judgments about matters like media bias, negative
campaigning, campaign finance policy, and the prevalence of women
candidates. Our report stated that these “are matters more
appropriately addressed by editorial boards, not election monitoring
teams.”

The transnational Left swarmed Hungary to create controversy about the
election of their ideological opponent, Viktor Orban. By contrast, our
expert election observer team found virtually no issues in the conduct
of the elections.

BIDEN’S DOG ATTACKED AGENTS MULTIPLE TIMES; ONE COMPLAINED OF
COVERUP

You'll recall that in August 2021 we uncovered records
[[link removed]]
from the Secret
Service revealing that President Joe Biden’s dog, Major, was
responsible for many more biting incidents than the Biden White House
had publicly acknowledged.

One email noted that “at the current rate an Agent or Officer has
been bitten every day this week (3/1-3/8) causing damage to attire or
bruising/punctures to the skin.”

This week we released 400 pages
[[link removed]]
of new records, including incident reports, detailing multiple attacks
and damages to Secret Service members by the dog at both the White
House and Biden’s lake home in Wilmington, DE.

The documents also reveal that a Secret Service member who was
attacked by the dog was displeased that White House Press Secretary
Jen Psaki misled the press about the incident.

Major was given to family friends
[[link removed]]
in December 2021, but not before causing considerable chaos in the
White House.

We obtained the documents in response to an October 2021 FOIA lawsuit
we filed after the Department of Homeland Security failed to respond
to a July 29, 2021, request (_Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of
Homeland Security_
[[link removed]]
(No. 1:21-cv-02824)) for:

* All records related to all dogs owned by the Bidens that have
lived at the White House, including communications sent to and from
USSS officials, and reports filed about dog bites and other
dog-related incidents.
* All medical and vaccination records for all dogs owned by the
Bidens that have lived at the White House.

In an email chain
[[link removed]]
dated March 9, 2021, a member of the Presidential Protective Division
(PPD) expresses anger that White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki
lacked candor about the dog bite incident during a press briefing. The
chain begins when a fellow agent checks on the welfare of a colleague
asking, “You ok? Someone told me you got bit.”

The agent replies, “Yes I got bit by Major on [redacted] and NO I
didn’t surprise the dog doing my job by being at [redacted] as the
press secretary just said! Now I’m pissed. Thanks for checking
in.”

The initial agent replies, “SMH [shaking my head]… hope you
didn’t get hurt to bad. Take care.”

A Secret Service incident report
[[link removed]]
concerning a dog attack on the morning of February 28, 2021, at the
Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware, lake home discloses the following:

At approximately 0900hrs, while working the AM shift for POTUS at the
Wilmington, DE Lake house, SA [redacted] was walking to relieve SA
[redacted] from the [redacted] location. SA [redacted] stated that
[redacted] observed Major running at SA [redacted] and heard him
yelling at the dog. At this point, SA [redacted] continued to walk
toward SA [redacted] location and saw Major had turned in [redacted]
direction running at high speed. SA [redacted] once more heard SA
[redacted] yell, “Major stop!” before [redacted] turned around to
avoid a direct attack. Upon turning [redacted] was struck on
[redacted] right thigh by the dog’s mouth. Major then ran across the
yard towards the opposite end of the house. SA [redacted] was shaken
from this encounter, having almost been bitten, therefore SA
[redacted] held the [redacted] with [redacted] until Major had been
brought back into the residence. SA [redacted] did not seek medical
attention for this incident.
The report has a footnote regarding a photo taken a week after the
attack, showing “a bruise where Major’s mouth impacted [redacted]
leg. The oval shape of injury demonstrates the outline of the dog’s
closed jaws.”

In an email dated June 24, 2021, regarding the February 28 incident, a
Secret Service official writes: “I have taken the liberty of adding
the Uniformed Division to this email chain as I understand there have
been multiple bite/attack incidents involving Major and their
officers.”

A separate incident report
[[link removed]]
concerning another dog attack on the evening of February 28, 2021, at
the Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware lake home notes:

At approximately 1900hrs, while working the PM shift for POTUS at the
Wilmington DE Lake house, SA [redacted] was [redacted] of the
residence. SA [redacted] observed POTUS Biden walk up to the front
door with the elder family dog Champ. SA [redacted] stated that POTUS
[redacted]. After several minutes of waiting, Major failed to appear
and POTUS took Champ inside closing the door behind him. Almost
immediately after the door had shut, SA [redacted] observed Major
running at [redacted] full stride from the main driveway. SA
[redacted] quickly made an effort to seek shelter inside [redacted].
Despite the attempt, Major intercepted SA [redacted] and bit down on
[redacted] left forearm. SA [redacted] quickly shook Major off of
[redacted] arm and once more attempted to [redacted] to avoid further
attack. In so doing, SA [redacted] briefly turned [redacted] back on
Major and the dog bit [redacted] a second time on the right buttock.
Fortunately, despite the two injuries, SA [redacted] was able to
[redacted], separating [redacted] self from the animal. Approximately
15 minutes after this attack, POTUS Biden opened the front door to let
Major into the residence. At this point, SA [redacted] stated the dog
then went inside and POTUS [redacted]. SA [redacted], shaken by the
ordeal, took a relief push to inspect [redacted] injury at the
[redacted]. He then [redacted] and finished the remainder of
[redacted] shift despite the discomfort.
A footnote indicates photos were attached:

The images attached were taken on the date of SA [redacted] injury
(02/28/21) and shows a puncture mark [redacted]. The second image is a
picture of the rain jacket SA [redacted] was wearing the evening of
02/28/21, which Major bit through causing the puncture…. As of this
date, [redacted] has not been compensated for the injury or damage to
[redacted] jacket.
A second footnote points out: “NOTE – The attack on SA
[redacted] occurred less than 12 hours after the first attack on SA
[redacted].”

An incident report
[[link removed]]
stemming from a March 6, 2021, dog attack discloses the following:

As the dog came around the corner from the diplomatic room [of the
White House], he [Major] locked eyes with SA [redacted]. SA [redacted]
having been a [redacted] his entire life, knew from this moment of eye
contact with Major that something serious was about to go down. Major
advanced on SA [redacted] and quickened pace in the final 10ft of
distance. The dog then attempted to bite SA [redacted] left arm but
was only able to lock teeth on his overcoat as he stepped aside from
the attack. The First Lady [redacted]; however the coat was torn
during the altercation. The President witnessed the First Lady
[redacted] and [redacted] before moving the entire party onto the
residence elevator.
A photo is attached to the email, and a footnote in the email reads:
“The image attached was taken approximately one month after the
attack and shows the severity of the bite through SA [redacted] wool
overcoat. (The overcoat is valued at >$500. As of this date, SA
[redacted] has not been compensated for the damage.)”

A Secret Service incident report
[[link removed]]
concerning a dog attack on the morning of March 8, 2021, at the White
House discloses the following:

At approximately 0700hrs, while working the AM shift for POTUS at the
White House, SA [redacted] was positioned at the 2nd Floor [redacted]
in the residence. Around this same time, the First Lady [redacted] to
the 2nd floor residence. Without warning or provocation, Major barked
loudly at SA [redacted] and charged at [redacted]. Having no time to
seek cover from the attack, SA [redacted] turned away from the dog as
he bit into [redacted] right leg. The First Lady [redacted]. The First
Lady then [redacted] into the residence elevator and down to the
ground floor [redacted]. ATSAIC [assistant to the special
agent-in-charge] [redacted]. [Redacted] immediate supervisor, heard
the barking from the ground floor and immediately came to the 2nd
floor post to check on SA [redacted] status. He instructed [redacted]
to take a picture of the injury and seek medical evaluation from the
White House doctor on the ground floor. At approximately 0800, the
White House nurse on duty [redacted]. Despite all this, [redacted]
managed to complete the remainder of [redacted] shift even with
[redacted] on [redacted] right leg.
A footnote indicates that photos, which were redacted, are
attached, and states: “SA [redacted] injury cannot be described in
any other term than ‘severe’. [Redacted] is the only known PPD
agent to have suffered two attacks from Major in less than 10 days.
(As of this date, [redacted] has received no compensation for either
injury.”

A Secret Service email
[[link removed]]
concerning a dog attack on the morning of May 12, 2021, at the White
House discloses the following:

On May 12th, 2021 around 630-645am. The First Lady brought Major down
to take him outside before movement to an in town site. The First Lady
and the Usher were standing next to me at [redacted] along with a
[redacted]. I was standing back against the wall as to leave space for
the First Lady and Major who was on a leash. Out of nowhere the dog
jumps and bites the sleeve of my suit jacket missing my arm (front
teeth just scratching the top of the skin). As I lift my arm up the
dog was still attached to my suit jacket and the First Lady was
attempting to pull the dog off of me via the leash. Once the dog let
go, the First Lady ran into the Dip[lomatic Reception] room with the
dog. The usher came out to see how I was. Later [redacted] said the
First Lady [redacted]. SAIC Cho was at my post 20 min later to check
on my well-being.
In a memo
[[link removed]]
prepared by Secret Service management regarding a May 13, 2021,
meeting several managers had with the Secret Service agent who was
attacked by Major on March 6, one of the officials “explained the
delicateness of the situation, in terms of potential damage in the
trust of our protectees.”

Mr. [Redacted] also stated that based on the most recent bite incident
he was unwilling to change the verbiage on the official SSF 3361
[reimbursement form]. Mr. [Redacted] further stated this incident was
one of many of negative aspects of [Presidential Protection Division]
he and other Agents are dealing with. Mr. [Redacted] stated the
dangerous atmosphere surrounding Major needs to be documented and
henceforth, he would serve as a depository to document all past and
future incidents.
In a May 11, 2021, email
[[link removed]],
a Secret Service agent describes the dog bite incident and is
criticized for adding the additional details:

I have attached yet another revision to the SSF3361. In hindsight, I
agree that the brief description of the nature of the dog bite damage
to my wool overcoat was lacking in sufficient details.

I included the following as well as the language you felt at liberty
to provide:

“On the evening of March 6th 2021 I was working an evening shift at
the White House as per my usual duties. While leading the President
and First Lady back from the Tennis pavilion to the Residence, Major,
the younger of the First Family’s two dogs, was [redacted] the First
Lady in the Diplomatic Reception Room. As Major came around the
corner, he attacked me unprovoked, tearing the wool overcoat I was
wearing that evening. This attack occurred through no fault of my own
and I could not avoid this unusual circumstance due to the nature and
requirements of my position.”
After providing the additional details, the agent is admonished for
providing too much detail, with another official telling him,
“Please submit with the language that has been approved by LEG
[legal office]. Unless you dispute anything in the verbiage that was
presented to you, there shouldn't be a need to embellish with
additional details that aren't required for approval.”

That official’s email is forwarded with criticism of the additional
detail, “SA [redacted] verbiage was deemed excessively detailed and
inappropriate. I was asked to have him submit with the language that
has already been approved by LEG [legal office]. Not sure if he will
or not. I don’t think it’s about the money anymore.”

In a March 1, 2021, Secret Service “PPD [Presidential Protective
Division] Supervisors Meeting Notes” memo
[[link removed]],
one bullet entry under the heading “SAIC CHO” [then-Special
Agent-in-Charge David Cho] reads “First Family Pet Behavior.”

In a March 5, 2021, email
[[link removed]],
a redacted Secret Service official advises White House officials:

For your awareness, WHMU [White House Medical Unit] responded to the
South Portico a short time ago on a UDW (Uniformed Division White
House) report of a pass holder with a dog bite. The pass holder is
[redacted] of the Residence staff. He is currently being treated in
the Doctor’s office.
In an email
[[link removed]]
chain dated March 8, 2021, with the subject line “Family Pet,” Cho
contacts unidentified White House officials to advise them of a dog
attack:

For your awareness, Major bit one of the agents this morning. The
agent is ok, but does have bruising and a puncture. [Redacted]’s at
the EEOB [Eisenhower Executive Office Building] clinic getting it
tended to.

[Redacted]

Additionally, we have noticed Major getting more aggressive lately. We
have extended the offer of our K9 trainer (RTC Training Facility) to
help train Major.
An official in the Office of the First Lady replies, “She
[redacted]. The dogs are en route Delaware.”

Cho replies, “Thank you, sir. Would like to follow up with you
sometime this week.”

The official replies, “Always available to you. If easier, Mr.
[redacted] can find time for us.”

Another White House official responds, “I will join as well.”

The Office of the First Lady replies, “What if it’s private and
doesn’t include you? <wink emoji>”

“Duly noted,” the White House official responds.

In an email
[[link removed]]
dated March 9, 2021, with the subject line “Supervisor’s Meeting
Notes,” a redacted Secret Service official advises other agents
about the press coverage:

Family pets are both in Wilmington. Younger pet bit a Shift SA
[special agent] yesterday. Staff/first family are getting him a full
time trainer to correct his behavior in Wilmington.… The biting
incident is in the news now (Google it). Just another reminder that
the press is always looking for a story. Maintain awareness of your
conversations and social media presence. We do not want and cannot
have a press lead attributed to us.
In an email
[[link removed]]
dated March 16, 2021, an assistant to the special agent-in-charge
writes to a supervisory program manager in the Presidential Protective
Division regarding a reimbursement request for a torn special
agent’s overcoat, noting: “This is reimbursement of an article of
clothing that was damaged by a family pet. Sending this to you direct
to limit distribution.”

The recipient replies, “Thank you Sir. To limit distribution, I will
handle this directly with [redacted] in Budget for reimbursement.”

The documents also reveal significant back and forth regarding
reimbursement of a USSS agents’ clothing that was damaged by Major.

In an email
[[link removed]]
dated July 14, 2021, the agent rescinds his request for reimbursement
for the damaged coat, advising officials that the Biden family, not
taxpayers, should be responsible for the reimbursement:

After some deep thought and reflection, I don’t believe the USSS
should be responsible for the damage to my coat as the cause was not
under their control. To be compensated in this manner would
essentially have the cost borne by the tax payer and this would be
unjust.

As I read the email chain below, this incident should be treated as a
“tort claim”. I believe this is accurate and as such, the
responsibility should lie with the party responsible for the wrong
doing (i.e. tort), and that of course would be the dog owner/s.

Therefore, I’d like to formally withdraw my [reimbursement] claim
for the 3361.
These documents show Major was a dangerous dog, placing Secret
Service and other White House personnel at needless risk, and the
Biden White House lied about it. It seems that Secret Service
management seemed more concerned about managing press relations than
taking care of its agents. In fact, the agency is still withholding
information about this mess!

MEXICAN CARTELS FLY 9,000 DRONE FLIGHTS INTO U.S. TO SURVEIL LAW
ENFORCEMENT

Our southwest border is a war zone, with the Mexican drug cartels
using the latest technology to do their dirty work in the United
States. We are on the ground covering this daily warfare, and our
_Corruption Chronicles_ blog has the latest
[[link removed]].


Mexican drug cartels have conducted more than 9,000 drone flights into
U.S. airspace in the last year to surveil American law enforcement and
security operations in the southern border region, a senior Homeland
Security official told Judicial Watch this week. The drones are
observing federal, state, county, and city agencies near the Mexican
border, including the U.S. Border Patrol, Texas Department of Public
Safety, Texas National Guard, county sheriffs and local police. The
Border Patrol, which operates under Customs and Border Protection
(CBP), has captured about a dozen of the drones, and accessed the
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles’ (UAVs) guidance and memory systems to gain
intelligence information, according to a high-level official at the
agency.

Judicial Watch learned about the Mexican cartel drone incursions
during a recent visit to the southern border and specifically while
interviewing federal officials at the CBP Rio Grande Valley sector in
Texas. Judicial Watch is further investigating the matter and has
filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with CBP, the
60,000-member agency charged with keeping terrorists and their weapons
out of the U.S., for all records regarding the use of drones by
criminal organizations operating along the U.S.-Mexico border for the
purpose of surveilling U.S. law enforcement officials or otherwise
facilitating illegal activity. The federal public-record request
includes, but is not limited to, all information depicting the known
or estimated number of instances of the use of such technology, as
well as all reports, intelligence assessments, analyses, or similar
records related to their use.

Federal officials on the ground tell Judicial Watch that the cartels
use the UAV surveillance flights to facilitate human smuggling and
drug trafficking. Specifically, they help identify gaps in border
coverage and assist the cartels in overwhelming certain areas to
create a diversion for moving sensitive or high value loads through
alternate border locations. The data analyzed from the confiscated
drones has also provided U.S. authorities with other law-enforcement
sensitive information that cannot be made public, government sources
said, adding that drug cartels started using the devices a few years
ago. Brandon Judd, the president of the union representing the
nation’s 20,000 Border Patrol agents, told Judicial Watch the drones
are also used to smuggle small amounts of drugs into the U.S. “They
are dropping fentanyl,” Judd said this week. “They fly into
certain locations, drop them to the ground and fentanyl is taken off
of them and they take back off into Mexico.” The drones are not
military grade, Judd confirmed, but rather “run of the mill” that
can be purchased anywhere.

Reports of Mexican cartels using UAVs to enhance their illicit
operations began surfacing within the last few years. In fact, three
years ago agents in the El Paso sector around 750 miles from the Rio
Grande Valley revealed in a news report
[[link removed]]
that they had witnessed what they believed to be the first use of a
drone by a Mexican cartel to act as a “look-out.” In the story CBP
officials from the El Paso sector are quoted saying that agents
“discovered a new tactic in counter surveillance,” referring to
the UAV. An agent monitoring the border with an infrared camera
discovered the drone traveling north into the U.S. from Mexico, the
article states. Last year Mexico’s largest newspaper reported
[[link removed]]
that some of the country’s most notorious cartels, including Jalisco
Nueva Generación, used drones with explosives to attack police in the
western part of the country. Back in 2018, an academic study
[[link removed]]
found that cartels use drones to look for Border Patrol agents and
inform drug smugglers of their positions. The research focused on the
complex security landscape of military drones for border security and
non-state actors with sharply diverging motives to develop their own
drone surveillance capacities.

HAPPY EASTER!

_“We are an Easter People and Alleluia is our song!” – Pope John
Paul, II._

Christians around the world are celebrating the resurrection of the
Christ. There are no more powerful symbols of hope than the cross and
the empty tomb. From me and mine, I wish you and yours all the joy of
Easter! Passover happily coincides with Easter this year – so, Happy
Passover, as well!

Until next week …
