Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon surrendered himself to an FBI field office and was taken into federal custody on Monday to face contempt charges over his refusal to cooperate with Democrats' January 6 congressional investigation. He will appear before a judge later in the day.

“Special Counsel John Durham’s indictment Thursday of “dossier” source Igor Danchenko revealed the first real evidence of “Russia collusion” — and it was linked to Hillary Clinton’s associates, not to Donald Trump or his presidential campaign.”

Our question for the day. Do we need to buy more popcorn or will this just be another whitewash?

“A grand jury has indicted Michael Sussmann, the lawyer accused of making false statements during the 2016 presidential campaign to slander then-candidate Donald Trump in the final months of the election.”

“CTH had originally reported on this stunning story back in June.  After previously refusing to fire the FBI agents involved in the case, today FBI Director Chris Wray finally said he fired the main FBI agent, Michael Langeman, responsible for facilitating the abuse of young female gymnasts.”

“Tucker Carlson reports Bank of America is turning over private information about its customers to federal law enforcement officials without the knowledge or consent of its customers.  This is all related to the crackdown on ‘domestic extremism.’ “

“FBI has completed the initial search identifying approximately 50 cross-reference serials, with attachments totaling over 20,000 pages, in which Seth Rich is mentioned. FBI has also located leads that indicate additional potential records that require further searching. . . . FBI is also currently working on getting the files from Seth Rich’s personal laptop into a format to be reviewed. As you can imagine, there are thousands of files of many types. The goal right now is to describe, generally, the types of files/personal information contained in this computer.”

“Following an FBI investigation this summer, more than 1,000 researchers who had hidden their affiliation with the Chinese military fled the United States, the Justice Department said Wednesday.”

You may recall that Attorney General William Barr made a specific authorization about a week ago that said the FBI should begin an investigation of the election before the States had certified the vote. This is not the normal procedure so at this point the FBI has few resources.  According to Braynard, who runs the Voter Integrity Project, "The @FBI has proactively and directly requested from me the VIP findings that indicates illegal ballots," adding "By Tuesday, we will have delivered to the agency all of our data, including names, addresses, phone numbers, etc."”

The laptop from Hell story continues from the other side of the pond.  “The son of the man expected by many to be America's next President abandoned a laptop containing a treasure trove of top-secret material, including his father's private emails and mobile phone numbers, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.  Remarkably, the 50-year-old businessman and self-confessed drug addict took the machine to a back-street IT store in Delaware in April 2019 to get it repaired – yet never returned to collect it.”

If you think this all is just too complicated; Air Force 2 logs indicate that Hunter traveled with his father to 29 separate countries. So this may be just the tip of the iceberg.
