Hunter Biden Reluctantly Pleads Guilty To Avoid Messy Trial

On Thursday, Hunter Biden was set to stand trial for tax crimes in federal court in Los Angeles, California, in a case brought by Special Counsel David Wise. The proceedings were quickly derailed just before jury selection began, however, when defense lawyer Abbe Lowell advised Judge Mark C. Scarsi that Biden wished to change his plea from “not guilty” to an “Alford plea” and thereby avoid a trial altogether.

An Alford plea is one in which the defendant maintains his innocence but agrees to plead guilty anyway and accept punishment just as if he had been found guilty by a judge or jury. The constitutionality of such a plea was confirmed by the Supreme Court in the case of North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25 (1970), hence the name “Alford plea.” In an Alford plea, the defendant does not admit that he is guilty, but he accepts legal guilt for the charged offenses and submits to being sentenced for them.

The Supreme Court explained that, “while most pleas of guilty consist of both a waiver of trial and an express admission of guilt, the latter element is not a constitutional requisite to the imposition of criminal penalty. An individual accused of crime may voluntarily, knowingly, and understandingly consent to the imposition of a prison sentence even if he is unwilling or unable to admit his participation in the acts constituting the crime.” Pointing out that sometimes simply not going to trial could benefit a defendant, the Court concluded that even pleas coupled with some assertion of innocence or of lesser culpability can still be constitutional, where “a defendant intelligently concludes that his interests require entry of a guilty plea and the record before the judge contains strong evidence of actual guilt.”

Jonathan Turley: Hunter Biden Will Face Prison Time after ‘Legal Death Wish’ Guilty Plea

Legal scholar Jonathan Turley has noted that Hunter Biden should still be facing a prison sentence, despite his last-minute move to plead guilty in his federal tax charges case.

Turley, a professor at George Washington University Law School, responded after Hunter Biden made a sudden change to a guilty plea to avoid his case going to trial this week.

Prof. Turley said Thursday that despite a sudden change in plea, the younger Biden would likely face jail time over tax charges if federal prosecutors pressed for a prison sentence.

Harvard University Not Cooperating With DA’s Investigation Into Students Charged With Assault of Jewish Classmate

Harvard University has refused to cooperate with the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office’s investigation into the assault of an Israeli business school student that occurred during a protest in October 2023. That decision has delayed the ongoing criminal case against two of the students caught on camera accosting their Jewish classmate, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.

Assistant District Attorney Ursula Knight, who leads the office’s Civil Rights and High-Risk Victims Unit and is prosecuting two of the students who participated in the assault, during a Wednesday hearing admonished the university.

“Harvard police essentially refused to investigate,” she said, according to an attendee, adding that the school’s behavior “has been a shock to the Commonwealth.”

Pro-Hamas Students Block Entry To Campus, Vandalize Statue on First Day of Classes

Anti-Israel students brought chaos to Columbia University on Tuesday morning, returning the campus to its new normal: dozens of keffiyeh-clad protesters blocked the entrance to the school, praising Hamas, vandalizing a statue, and clashing with police. At least one group involved aims to bring violence to America, while others called on their followers to help shut down the university.

Agitators with Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) and the school’s Students for Justice in Palestine chapter prevented students from entering campus, promising that “this is just the beginning.” A flyer posted to social media advertising the protest encouraged attendees to “wear a mask,” “bring noisemakers,” and to “shut it down.” And Columbia’s Students for Justice in Palestine chapter released a statement praising Hamas founder Ahmed Yassin and the terrorist group’s current chairman, Yahya Sinwar.

NOW: On first day of classes, Pro-Palestine protesters have created a picket outside of Columbia University, demanding to “Shut It Down” and telling students – “Don’t Go to Classes, Do Not Enter, Call Out Sick”.

Huge line of students has formed around the block to go in.

Anti-Israel Harvard students condemn new vice president: ‘War criminals not welcome’

An anti-Israel group of Harvard University students condemned the recent appointment of the school’s new vice president and general counsel due to her former leadership roles at the U.S. Defense Department and a defense company that sold weapons to Israel.

Harvard Out of Occupied Palestine, or HOOP, hung a banner stating, “War Criminals Not Welcome Here” alongside the name of the new appointee, Jennifer O’Connor, who took the helm July 29, the Harvard Gazette reported.

The group also hung a second banner over the summer reading, “Harvard Funds Genocide,” according to images posted on Instagram. The post’s caption criticized O’Connor for a “lack of experience” in higher education and her former position as general counsel for the Department of Defense.

“Yesterday, Harvard announced its appointment of Jennifer O’Connor as the new Vice President and general counsel of the university,” the Instagram post stated.

“She has 0 experience in higher education positions, yet her time as the former general counsel to the US Department of Defense and former Tech Law VP to weapons company Northrop Grumman make her a perfect fit at this complicit institution.”

Excerpt:

The Council on American-Islamic Relations and American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee have designated Emory University as an “institution of particular concern” due to its “hostility” towards anti-Israel student activists.

According to The Emory Wheel (which follows CAIR’s lead and refers to the activists as “anti-genocide”), the groups allege that Emory, along with George Washington University and UCLA, “set the standard for creating a thoroughly hostile and dangerous environment” for Muslims and Palestinians.

Back in April, CAIR-Georgia and Palestine Legal filed a federal civil rights complaint on behalf of Emory’s Students for Justice in Palestine, alleging the school created a “hostile anti-Palestinian and Islamophobic environment.”

Two months later, CAIR-Georgia claimed Emory was “tokenizing” and “furthering a pattern of exclusion” against Muslim students because its search for a full-time Muslim chaplain wasn’t “inclusive” enough.

At a recent press conference, CAIR’s Farah Afify alleged Emory has cultivated a “culture in which discrimination and harassment towards Palestinian Arabs and Muslims was reportedly permitted and even enabled.”

JUST IN: Biden Administration Approves $380M for DHS to Support Migrants

The Biden administration announced last week that it will allocate $380 million to nonprofits and local governments to help cover costs related to caring for migrants after their release by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at the southern border.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is distributing the massive $380 million through its Shelter and Services Program (SSP). This initiative is designed to provide “critical support” to migrants, offering essentials like food, shelter, clothing, urgent medical care, and transportation as they wait for their immigration court hearings.

Migrants arrive at the Roosevelt Hotel in NYC, which serves as a central processing center.

While millions of Americans are suffering in a disastrous Biden-Harris economy, illegals in New York are getting extra help that is not available to citizens.

On Friday, city officials confirmed to Fox News Digital that a pilot project has been launched that provides migrants $4000 to help transition out of city shelters.

Per Fox:

The NYC Department of Homeless Services (DHS) offered 150 families cash assistance through the Asylee Moveout Assistance (AMA), a pilot created in December last year to help find permanent housing for asylum seekers. The pilot was launched in partnership with some city shelters providing services for asylum seekers.

“The city is using every tool at its disposal to implement innovative and cost-effective solutions to help recently-arrived asylum seekers residing in shelters take the next steps in their journey,” a Department of Social Services (DSS) spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

DHS officials in December started dispensing $4000 to 150 households who live in the city’s emergency DHS shelters.

“Since December, DSS has been working with a few not-for-profit providers operating emergency sites to pilot a new effort to reduce barriers to obtaining housing by helping asylum-seeking families who have identified permanent housing with the upfront cost of moving into their new home,” the DSS spokesperson said.

Thanks, Biden-Harris—Cops Estimate Up to 75 Percent of Manhattan Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants

Kamala Harris, the presidential candidate foisted on America by the Democrat political machine—a vice president who has never in her life won a delegate in a Democratic primary—has been releasing ludicrous ads lately claiming she’d be tough on the border.

What an absolute joke.

Tell that to the police who patrol the streets of Manhattan, some of whom claim that up to 75 percent of all the crimes committed in the Big Apple are by illegal aliens.

Life in the big city:

Across New York, recently arrived migrants are flooding the criminal-justice system — at far higher rates than public officials have acknowledged.

Police sources shared with The Post a staggering estimate that as many as 75% of the people they’ve been arresting in Midtown Manhattan in recent months for crimes like assault, robbery and domestic violence are migrants. In parts of Queens, the figure is more than 60%, sources there estimate.

On any given day, Big Apple criminal court dockets are packed with asylum seekers who have run afoul of the law.

What does it mean when the people who invade also commit a majority of the crime?

The ones who let them in are responsible. That’s what it means. https://t.co/duK7Akj1Lu

Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration on Tuesday, demanding accountability for its lack of response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

The request, initially submitted by the Attorney General’s office in March, seeks documents related to the Biden administration’s policies that permit dangerous criminals to be released directly into U.S. communities from prison.

Attorney General Moody voiced her frustration with the Biden administration, stating, “In addition to flat out refusing to secure the border, reports indicate that President Biden and failed Border Czar Kamala Harris refuse to deport dangerous illegal immigrant prisoners once they are released from prison.”

Illegal immigrant who attacked cop in Times Square sentenced to one year in jail—NYPD union outraged

“364 days is not enough. This individual should be behind bars a lot longer. If you attack a New York City police officer, you should stay behind bars.”

An illegal immigrant from Venezuela is going to jail for 364 days for kicking a New York Police Department (NYPD) cop during a Jan. 27 Times Square brawl. The police union says the sentence is way too light, the New York Post reports.

Darwin Andres Gomez-Izquiel, 19, said nothing but smirked when he heard the sentence after he had pleaded guilty to second-degree assault last month to the brawl between police officers and a gang of illegal immigrants. Fully 75 percent of arrests in midtown Manhattan are illegal immigrants.

The police union says the sentence doesn’t send a strong enough signal that cops are not on the street to be kicked around by illegal immigrants. Police Benevolent Association chief Patrick Hendry said Gomez-Izquiel should have more time in prison to contemplate his actions.

Ted Cruz says Democrats taking short-term immigration risks for long-term gains

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) is locked in a fierce battle for reelection this year, but he doesn’t necessarily consider that his biggest challenge. “In the 12 years I’ve been in the Senate, I have consistently led the fight to secure our border,” he told the Washington Examiner. “It is today I believe in an existential threat to Texas and to our nation.”

Cruz is campaigning heavily on his work, sometimes on a bipartisan basis, to mitigate the pressure on the border. This includes authoring successful amendments mandating information-sharing between the Coast Guard and U.S. Customs and Border Protection to safeguard the maritime border as well as promoting new security initiatives from South Padre Island to Port Mansfield. This includes funding for an air station at one Texas Coast Guard facility and an aerostat radar system.

But Cruz is keenly aware of the national implications of a porous border and believes that if it is not gotten under control, the results will not be good for his country or party.

Excerpt:

GUATEMALA CITY — The U.S. government announced Thursday that it secured the release of 135 Nicaraguan political prisoners, who have arrived in Guatemala where they will apply for entry to the United States or other countries.

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said in a statement that they were released on humanitarian grounds.

“No one should be put in jail for peacefully exercising their fundamental rights of free expression, association, and practicing their religion,” Sullivan said.

Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Eric Jacobstein, speaking with reporters, said that the Nicaraguan government received nothing in exchange for the prisoners’ release and the negotiation signaled no change in U.S. policy toward the government of President Daniel Ortega.

“Though the pressure itself has been consistent, the planning and execution of this release was rapid, and we’ve worked quickly to facilitate the travel of these individuals and really ensure their safety at every step of the journey,” Jacobstein said, adding that Nicaragua continues to “unjustly” detain people.

NEW WHISTLEBLOWER ALLEGATION: Secret Service Failed to Properly Train Agents Assigned to Candidate Details, Trump Rally

Go to Article
Excerpt from Josh Hawley website

Yesterday U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) sent a letter to Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe following new whistleblower allegations that Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents who partnered with the Secret Service for protective details were improperly trained. Reports indicate that this deficient training extended to the Butler, Pa., rally where former president Donald Trump was shot.

“Whistleblower allegations to my office report that the only training received by many HSI agents reassigned to work protective details is a single two-hour webinar on Microsoft Teams featuring pre-recorded videos,” wrote Senator Hawley. “The whistleblower alleged that these videos were not substantive and their playback was frequently riddled with technical mishaps, leaving the HSI agents ill-prepared for the protective mission to which they were newly assigned.”

He continued, “[A]ll of these allegations together suggest that a significant number of personnel tasked with providing security for former President Trump at the July 13 rally were egregiously under-prepared by the Secret Service to carry out this mission. Moreover, these latest whistleblower allegations contend HSI agents were pulled off child exploitation cases in order to serve on protective details for which they were unprepared.”

Trump insisted that the pivotal moment was meant to happen to him.

“And you know what I’d love to think, I would love to think it’s God, and it’s God doing it because he wants to save America,” he said. “He sees what’s happening. God sees what’s happening in America. We’re going bad as a country. Even with religion, we’re going bad.”

“You look at the charts, and I would like to say that it is God that saved me. It wasn’t just just luck, but the reason would be that he saved me, because I can save this country. I hope that’s right,” he added.

Almost two months have passed since former President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated during a presidential rally in Butler, Pa., and questions still remain about how security failed to protect the GOP presidential nominee from harm’s way.

In an interview on Thursday’s broadcast of FM Talk 106.5’s “The Jeff Poor Show,” U.S. Rep. Gary Palmer (R-Hoover) said the “lax” security on July 13 in Pennsylvania “raises some serious questions” about whether it was “intentional” or “incompetence” from poor training.

“[C]ertainly there appears to be some ambivalence about it, about his security. This was not a site that would easily be secured because of the number of buildings and other issues there. But they certainly, I think, were very lax in their security plan,” Palmer outlined. “It had numerous holes in it, and that’s something that I don’t understand, Jeff, is when you’re charged with the protection of someone that high-profile … very likely the next President of the United States, and you leave that many gaps in your security plan, that raises some serious questions.”

The names of those requested for interviews were redacted “to protect the privacy of law enforcement officers,” the lawmakers wrote. The group previously sent federal and state agencies similar requests for documents, and visited the Butler site last week.

The House task force investigating the assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump is requesting transcribed interviews with local law enforcement officials who were on duty during the July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The panel sent five letters to local law enforcement and local officials seeking access to all documents and communications related to the rally, including those involved with the planning and preparation, post-events, and correspondence. The task force is requesting the interviews be completed by the end of the month, although it’s not entirely clear how many officials are being asked to appear before the panel…

The letters come a week after the task force visited the rally site on Aug. 26 and made an extensive records request to the Department of Homeland Security and the Secret Service. Those letters requested access to documents detailing the preparation and security decision-making in the hours leading up to the rally and agents’ responses once the shooting began. Lawmakers are also pushing for interviews with several Secret Service personnel who were on duty and responsible for the security detail that day.

Islamic State group claims responsibility for knife attack in Solingen, Germany that killed 3

The Islamic State militant group claimed responsibility for a knife attack in Solingen, Germany that killed three people and wounded eight others at a crowded festival marking the city’s 650th anniversary.

The group said Saturday on its news site that the attacker targeted Christians and is a “soldier of the Islamic State” who carried out the assaults Friday night “to avenge Muslims in Palestine and everywhere.”

The IS claim couldn’t immediately be verified. No evidence for the group’s assertions was provided.

Police later detained a suspect, the state internal affairs minister of North Rhein Westphalia said early Sunday.

Germany knife attack: Police make 2nd arrest in stabbings

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility on Saturday for a knife attack in the German city of Solingen that killed three people and wounded eight others.

Some 24 hours after the attack, police said they made a second arrest on Saturday evening as part of a police operation at a home for refugees in Solingen. Police said they could not provide more details on the individual or its connection to the incident.

Police earlier on Saturday detained a teenager who they said may be connected with the attack but said the perpetrator was still at large.

Describing the man who carried out the attack as a “soldier of the Islamic State,” the militant group said in a statement on its Telegram account: “He carried out the attack in revenge for Muslims in Palestine and everywhere.”

German feds take over festival stabbing case, citing suspected terrorism

German federal prosecutors took over the investigation Sunday of a stabbing rampage in the city of Solingen that left three people dead, citing terrorism as the suspected motive.

A 26-year-old Syrian man turned himself in to police late Saturday after a day-long manhunt that included a search of refugee housing in the city center, said Raimund Dockter, a spokesman for the Düsseldorf police, in a telephone interview Sunday.

Federal prosecutors on Sunday identified the suspect as Issa Al H., not releasing his full last name because of Germany’s privacy laws, and said he is “strongly suspected of membership in a terrorist organization abroad” — referring to the Islamic State, which claimed responsibility for the assault Saturday.

Was it Hunter with the cocaine in the cabinet room? Ashley with the cocaine in the Oval Office? Or was it a stranger with access to the White House reference library? The mystery of the cocaine found in the White House over the July 4, 2023, holiday was closed for lack of evidence almost as soon as it began. But now there are revelations of a cover-up in the case.

A new report finds that former director Kim Cheatle, forced to resign over the disastrous near-assassination of Donald Trump, wanted the evidence destroyed, the substance not tested, and the case closed quickly. This was despite the high profile nature of the story — the evacuation of the entire White House, including the media, due to fears that the white powder, which a uniformed Secret Service agent discovered, was ricin or anthrax.

Having been on the Biden’s Secret Service detail, Cheatle probably knew what it was.

The story exploded into the media as gowned-up people in hazmat bunny suits combed the White House.

For Our VIPS: Here Are Some Questions the Secret Service Should Have to Answer

On July 2, 2023, the U.S. Secret Service discovered a small amount of cocaine at the White House. The substance was found in a cubby area inside a vestibule used for storing electronic devices at the West Executive Avenue entrance, a location that sees a lot of traffic from staff and visitors. Tests by the District of Columbia Fire and Emergency Medical Services later confirmed the presence of cocaine.

Despite extensive forensic efforts, including fingerprint and DNA analysis by the FBI, no conclusive evidence was found to identify a suspect. The area where the cocaine was discovered is accessible to hundreds of people, and the lack of surveillance footage capturing the act made it impossible to pinpoint who might have brought the substance into the White House. As a result, the Secret Service closed the investigation due to insufficient evidence to proceed further.

According to three sources in the Secret Service community who spoke to RealClearPolitics, there was a significant rift among top leaders over how to handle the illicit substance. Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, along with other senior figures, reportedly pushed to destroy the cocaine. However, the suggestion was met with firm resistance from both the Secret Service Forensics Services Division and the Uniformed Division, who insisted on preserving the evidence.

The Secret Service has denied a report that former Director Kimberly Cheatle and other agency leaders wanted to destroy cocaine found in the White House.

“This is false. The US Secret Service takes its investigative and protective responsibilities very seriously,” agency spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. “There are retention policies for criminal investigations and the Secret Service adhered to those requirements during this case.”

A story in RealClearPolitics cited three anonymous sources within the Secret Service who claimed that Cheatle, who recently resigned in the fallout from the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, reassigned an officer who wanted to follow a specific crime scene investigative protocol after the discovery. Guglielmi’s statement did not address that aspect of the report.

Aside from the novelty of illicit drugs being found inside the executive mansion, troubled first son Hunter Biden was staying in the White House in the days before the cocaine was discovered on July 2 and then publicly reported on July 4, sparking questions about the source of the drugs.

The initial discovery triggered a brief evacuation of the White House grounds as the substance was tested to rule out the possibility it was anthrax or another deadly powder. Because the evacuation included members of the press, it became impossible to keep the discovery hidden from the public.

Musk Exits California After California Passes Anti-Parent, Pro-Child Grooming Law

pgnewser July 18, 2024

Elon Musk announced on X his intentions to pull his X offices and his SpaceX offices out of California to Texas, where Musk would follow suit. He announced the plan after California passed a law preventing parents from being informed if their children should begin to go through “gender-affirming therapy.”

The world’s richest man has been busy this week.

On Tuesday, The Wall Street Journal reported that Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk would be donating $45 million a month – $180 million from July through October – to America PAC, a political action committee dedicated to reelecting former President Donald Trump.

On the same day, Musk announced that he would be moving the headquarters of SpaceX and X (formerly Twitter) from California to Texas because of a new law that protects transgender children.

“This is the final straw,” Musk wrote on X, adding that he told California Gov. Gavin Newsom last year that affirming laws like this one would lead to an exodus of families who want to “protect their children.”

To me, none of the mogul’s recent moves are surprising. They will, however, affect how the presidential election plays out – and possibly assist in reelecting Trump. That should concern all of us because of the power owning X gives him and his willingness to wield it.

Disney could face the largest strike in the US this year after it was announced that thousands of theme park and hotel workers in California will vote on whether to stage a walkout.

Three trade unions representing 14,000 “cast members” at Disneyland, Disney California Adventure, Downtown Disney and the Disney hotels announced an unfair labor practice strike vote would be held next week amid negotiations over a new union contract.

In a critical statement, union leaders accused Disney of “unlawful discipline and intimidation and surveillance” of union members. The entertainment giant did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Mindful Intelligence Report (MIR) – Tuesday, July 8, 2024

SUMMARY

Today’s news is capped off with two major escalations in the war for the White House this November. After Donald Trump fired the first shot in this latest round with a Truth Social post that pretty much threatened everyone in the current government should he be elected, the Democrats have fired back by declaring the Senate will change the “official duties” of Donald Trump to “unofficial duties” and they will also sick a Special Council on Clarence Thomas in the first of many such lawfare assaults to come should they have the continued power to do so.

The UK and France are settling into their new far left realities, with French “Palestinians” taking over Paris and using the city as candle wick for their night blazes and the UK’s leadership immediately opening the floodgates of “immigration” up again. Meanwhile Poland and Ukraine are becoming intimate and Japan is building a laser navy.
