So the special prosecutor handling the Hunter Biden case has brought charges against the informant who was the source of all the House GOP stories about the Biden family corruption. Well, they arrested him when he landed in the US after flying here from overseas. And the filing to persuade the court to keep him detained pending trial is BONKERS. )(and yet the Magistrate STILL let him out)
Not sure if this is a new magistrate, but requesting detention before trial on charges like this is really out of the ordinary.
This guy was an FBI informant since 2010.
So here are the weird things about this.
1. He obviously was surprised to be arrested on his arrival to the US, and prosecutors say that he would be able to leave the country because of his Israeli passport, because they can’t stop him from getting a new one and traveling on that one, even if he turned over his current passports (plural) (page 2 and 5)
2. They refer to his contacts to foreign intelligence services always in the PLURAL. (So who are the other ones? More on that below)
3. He met with Russian Intelligence just THREE MONTHS AGO to plan on using Kompromat in the 2024 election (page 17)
4. He lived in Israel for over a decade, and then left in 2006. 2006 is when Likud lost power after a leadership struggle in 2005, and what was the struggle over? (Over what to do about the GAZA STRIP, ironically enough where the leadership of Sharon was going to pull out of the Gaza strip completely) (page 15)
5. They say he met with “foreign intelligence services, including Russian Intelligence agencies” (Page 16)
Now to put on my tin-foil hat super tightly.
Anyone living right under the nose of the Mossad talking to the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service and then leaving right when Likud lost the election tells me that this guy probably was a double agent for Mossad starting with Sharon and then Netanyahu at the same time he was working for the Russians, all the while feeding information to the FBI and various Republican organizations starting in 2010, which is why he was told not to BS them like 20X. (which says the FBI thought this guy was a double agent from the start)
And this guy was reviewed by Scott Brady who was a Trumpist US Atty for the WDPA and Billy Barr himself, who didn’t see the need to arrest him after he started going rogue and lying to the FBI starting 4 years ago.
And the icing on the cake?
He was set to be deposed in Hunter Biden’s CIVIL suit, which would now be put on hold since his 5th amendment protections would make the deposition pointless.
UPDATE:
To clarify this last point, the reason this differed from the Trump civil case is he is a WITNESS in that case and not the defendant, so the admissions that would be held against a defendant for refusing to testify by invoking the 5th amendment don’t apply in this case, and the plaintiffs in the civil case have to weigh whether their testimony is crucial to their case, and whether to pause the civil case until after the criminal exposure is mitigated and they can testify in the civil case.
(Garland has to be weighing removing Weiss from this case, as he is probably conflicted out by the rules of Professional Responsibility)
