The 90 Miles Mystery Box: Episode #2183

You have come across a mystery box. But what is inside?

It could be literally anything from the serene to the horrific,

from the beautiful to the repugnant,

from the mysterious to the familiar.

If you decide to open it, you could be disappointed,

you could be inspired, you could be appalled.

This is not for the faint of heart or the easily offended.

You have been warned.

Leftist prosecutors won't investigate or lock up criminals, just political opponents.

On the heels of Dem AGs and DAs from New York City to Georgia investigating and indicting political opponents from Trump to the NRA, the D.C. AG is going after a conservative judicial group.

Washington D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb is investigating judicial activist Leonard Leo and his network of nonprofit groups, according to a person with direct knowledge of the probe.

The scope of the investigation is unclear. But it comes after POLITICO reported in March that one of Leo’s nonprofits — registered as a charity — paid his for-profit company tens of millions of dollars in the two years since he joined the company. A few weeks later, a progressive watchdog group filed a complaint with the D.C. attorney general and the IRS requesting a probe into what services were provided and whether Leo was in violation of laws against using charities for personal enrichment.

Let’s summarize.

A leftist media group ran a smear of a conservative organization being targeted by opponents of conservative judges, then a leftist group files a “complaint” urging a leftist AG to prosecute its political opponents. And then the leftist AG goes ahead and investigates a group of political opponents who serve as direct career rivals. I’m sure the results of the investigation will be a complete and utter surprise.

This is a matter that’s within the scope of federal authorities, especially the IRS, not the D.C. AG, but leftists exploit every lever of power that they have without regard to legally appropriate venue.

Shall we discuss how many leftists and their political campaigns pay money from non-profits to for-profits? We’d be here all day. It’s so routine in D.C. that half the area’s wealth wouldn’t exist without it.

So this is selective prosecution being carried out in a place overrun by actual criminals.

Washington D.C. (much like New York) won’t investigate or lock up criminals, just political opponents.

The Left has weaponized prosecutors as tools of suppressing their political opponents. This is Soviet-style stuff and it’s coming from the very same movement that used to squawk about...

Report: Hunter Biden Secretly Traveled on Air Force Two to Foreign Countries at Least Eight Times While Joe was V.P.

During Joe Biden’s time as vice president, his son Hunter flew overseas with him at least eight times, Fox News’ Jesse Watters reported Monday night.

The younger Biden avoided scrutiny by taking the back staircase off of Air Force Two and by not accompanying his father outside on the tarmac. However, raw news footage of those trips shows Hunter Biden being shuttled around in the vice presidential motorcade in Germany, Japan, South Korea, and other countries where the Biden clan allegedly had business interests.

Biden has insisted for years that he never talked to his son about business and never met Hunter’s business partners. He also falsely stated that his family never took money from China. But Hunter’s inclusion on so many foreign trips while Biden was vice president appears to be one more piece of evidence that the two were partners in the family’s influence-peddling enterprise.

“We didn’t know about [the trips] because Hunter didn’t walk down the tarmac with his father,” Watters said. “It looks like Hunter snuck out of the jet through the back staircase.” The “Primetime” host explained that because the back staircase is primarily used by the media, “this means the press knew Joe Biden was flying his son overseas and hiding it and they didn’t report it.”

“Most of the time, Hunter would already be in the limo by the time Joe Biden got off the plane. Hunter did his best to slink into the back seat,” Watters added.

The footage is “indisputable evidence that Hunter Biden was using Air Force 2 as business travel,” Watters said. “Taxpayers funded Hunter’s business travel so the Biden family could sneak around the world and get rich.”

Watters aired news footage showing Joe and Jill Biden getting into a limo in Berlin, Germany in February of 2013. Not far behind them was Hunter Biden.

“What was Hunter doing in Germany?” the Fox host asked. “Well, Joe was there for the Munich Security Conference, that’s the same security conference that took the lead role in the Ukraine War, and at this conference, China was a major issue,” Watters explained. “Ironically, it was those two countries that ended up paying Hunter Biden.”

The 2013 Munich Security Conference also held a panel on energy, entitled: THE AMERICAN OIL & GAS BONANZA: THE CHANGING GEOPOLITICS OF ENERGY. The panel included energy experts from Berlin, Brussels, Moscow, and Washington, D.C. A year later, Hunter joined the board of Burisma Holdings, then-Ukraine’s largest private gas producer, earning $83,333 a month for a no-show position.

A few months after the trip to Germany, Hunter Biden accompanied his father on a trip to Asia, stopping first in Japan, according to Watters.

“No sign of Hunter on the tarmac, but somehow, there he is in the back of the limo,” the Fox host said, as the news footage showed Hunter, again, accompanying his dad in the vice presidential motorcade.

“What’s he doing in Japan?” Watters asked. “We don’t know. And the next day, Air Force Two took Joe and Hunter to China—the infamous trip where Joe Biden shook hands with a Chinese client in the lobby of a Beijing hotel. After that handshake, a $20 million deal materialized between China and the Biden clan.”

The then-vice president had flown to Beijing for a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Hunter had insisted on joining his father on the trip, according to The New Yorker.

Hunter arranged to have his business partner Jonathan Li, who ran Chinese private-equity fund Bohai Capital, shake Joe’s hand in the lobby of his hotel. Hunter Biden and Li met privately after the photo op.

A day after the China china trip, Hunter was seen in the vice presidential limo with his dad in South Korea. Again, there was no footage of Hunter getting off the plane, just him materializing in the motorcade later. Next Hunter flew to the Philippines under the auspices of...
