Prosecutors: FBI Found Cocaine Residue on Hunter Biden’s Firearm Pouch

FBI investigators discovered powered cocaine on the firearm pouch Hunter Biden had used to hold the gun he allegedly purchased in October 2018, Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors said in a Tuesday court filing.

Special counsel David Weiss’ team filed a response motion to Hunter Biden’s selective prosecution claim and described how FBI investigators retrieved the alleged firearm in 2023 and found the alleged cocaine.

“In 2023, FBI investigators pulled sealed evidence from the state police vault to take photographs of the defendant’s firearm. After opening the evidence, FBI investigators observed a white powdery substance on the defendant’s brown leather pouch that had held the defendant’s firearm in October 2018,” the motion reads.

“Based on their training and experience, investigators believed that this substance was likely cocaine and that this evidence would corroborate the messages that investigators had obtained which showed the defendant buying and using drugs in October 2018. An FBI chemist subsequently analyzed the residue and determined that it was cocaine. To be clear, investigators literally found drugs on the pouch where the defendant had kept his gun,” the filing adds.

Hunter Biden battled an addiction to crack cocaine that formed the basis of his 2021 memoir, “Beautiful Things,” and he has accused his political opponents of weaponizing his addiction against him. (Read more from “Prosecutors: FBI Found Cocaine Residue on Hunter Biden’s Firearm Pouch” HERE)

Report: Prosecutor on Jack Smith’s Team Discouraged FBI From Looking Into Clinton Foundation in 2016

A top prosecutor now on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s team discouraged the FBI from pursuing an investigation into the Clinton Foundation in 2016 due to what he believed was “negligible evidence” despite the existence of “multiple” Suspicious Activity Reports related to “hundreds of thousands of dollars in foreign transactions,” according to a report.

Fox News Digital first reported on Friday that Ray Hulser, who was the former chief of the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section but now serves on Smith’s team prosecuting former President Donald Trump, was the official who “declined prosecution” of the Clinton Foundation in 2016, according to Special Counsel John Durham’s report, which came out in May 2023.

The Durham report said that in January 2016, three different FBI field offices had opened investigations into “possible criminal activity involving the Clinton Foundation.” The three offices were the New York Field Office (NYFO), the Little Rock Field Office (LRFO), and the Washington Field Office (WFO).

The report said the LRFO case opening communication referred to an “intelligence product and corroborating financial reporting that a particular commercial ‘industry likely engaged a federal public official in a flow of benefits scheme, namely, large monetary contributions were made to a non-profit, under both direct and indirect control of the federal public official, in exchange for favorable government action and/or influence.’”

The report said the WFO investigation was opened as a preliminary investigation, because the Case Agent wanted to determine if he could develop additional information to corroborate allegations in the book Clinton Cash by Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer.

FBI Gets Scorched for Its Flaming ‘Happy Holidays’ Greeting

The FBI of the days when it pursued and captured criminals and protected American citizens apparently is gone. . .

So when it released an innocuous holiday greeting just days ago, Americans were primed to respond:

Revolver News compiled a list of those comments, including:

“Is that Epsteins hard drives in that fire?”

“Are you guys burning evidence that could convict Hunter Biden in that fire?”

“🎼Inconvenient citizens roasting on an open fire…

“What about a Merry Christmas? Do any of you godless feds wish anyone a Merry Christmas?”

“You being unemployed or in prison is the holiday gift America needs.”

“Even their fire leans left.”

“In case you haven’t noticed, Americans have lost all respect for you. You have no one to blame but yourselves.”

“How fitting! A Dumpster Fire”

“Reading the comments kinda tells you that the citizens have lost all faith in your institution. ”

Revolver’s report explained, “Are you old enough to remember when the FBI was seen as a somewhat reputable law enforcement agency, focused on capturing legitimate criminals? Many of us recall a time when the bureau wasn’t a weaponized arm of the radical left-wing agenda. (Read more from “FBI Gets Scorched for Its Flaming ‘Happy Holidays’ Greeting” HERE)

Catholic Leaders Condemn FBI’s “Illegitimate Targeting of Catholics” as Potential Domestic Terrorists

Catholic leaders slammed the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Tuesday after the House Judiciary Committee discovered federal agents interviewed a priest and a choir director as part of an investigation into so-called Radical-Traditional Catholics as potential domestic terrorists.

“The latest revelations only raise more questions about the illegitimate targeting of Catholics by the FBI,” CatholicVote President Brian Burch told The Daily Wire in an emailed statement. “We now know that the FBI effort involved at least four field offices, authorized the use of undercover agents to infiltrate Catholic parishes, and used a Catholic priest and a choir director to inform on one of their parishioners.”

The House Judiciary Committee and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government launched an investigation into the FBI earlier this year after former agent-turned-whistleblower Kyle Seraphin leaked an internal memo from the bureau’s Richmond Field Office, which painted certain “radical-traditionalist Catholics” as violent extremists and proposed opportunities for the FBI to infiltrate Catholic churches as a form of “threat mitigation.”

“Despite every effort to downplay the significance of this abuse of power, the FBI still owes Catholics and all concerned Americans answers as to who was behind the effort to spy on Catholics, how far and wide this effort went inside the FBI, whether it is ongoing, and whether anyone has been held accountable,” Burch added.

Senator Marsha Blackburn Grills FBI Director Wray Over Epstein Client List (VIDEO)

In a tense exchange during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on oversight of the FBI, Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn confronted FBI Director Christopher Wray on Monday regarding the Bureau’s failure to release the client list of convicted sex trafficker and abuser Jeffrey Epstein. The questioning also delved into why the FBI seemingly ignored accounts from victims of Epstein’s heinous crimes.

During the hearing, Senator Blackburn pressed Director Wray on the Bureau’s handling of allegations made by survivors, pointing to instances where victims claimed the FBI refused to investigate their claims. In a notable moment, she referenced a survivor who, despite repeatedly bringing forward evidence of Epstein’s conduct, alleged that the FBI turned a blind eye to her claims.

The senator’s scrutiny extended beyond the Epstein case, as evidenced by her tweet challenging Senator Dick Durbin’s awareness of a subpoena request she filed for Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs. The tweet included a receipt, raising questions about the level of transparency and cooperation within the Senate regarding investigations into Epstein’s extensive network.

The Epstein scandal has been a focal point of criticism against law enforcement agencies, particularly in light of Epstein’s connections to influential individuals. Senator Blackburn’s pointed questions underscore concerns about accountability, transparency, and the Bureau’s response to serious allegations of sexual exploitation and abuse.

Inmate Accused of Stabbing Derek Chauvin 22 Times in Tribute to BLM Was Once FBI Informant

Federal prosecutors announced Friday attempted murder charges against an Arizona inmate and ex-FBI informant, a week after ex-Minneapolis cop Derek Chauvin was stabbed 22 times inside a library at the Tucson penitentiary where they are both inmates.

John Turscak, 52, is also facing multiple assault charges and inflicting serious bodily injury with an “improvised knife” around 12:30 p.m. on Black Friday – a day the suspect allegedly told investigators he picked to symbolize the “Black Lives Matter” movement, which spurred months of protests around the country in connection with the death of George Floyd – who Chauvin was convicted of killing.

Federal corrections officers intervened “immediately” according to court filings, dousing Turscak with pepper spray. He allegedly told the guards he would have killed Chauvin if guards hadn’t reacted so fast. When he waived his Miranda rights, he allegedly told the FBI about the Black Friday symbolism and said he’d planned the attack for a month.

Prosecutors said that Turscak was an FBI informant in 1997, providing information about his gang as well as recordings of conversations between him, members, and associates. The investigation resulted in 40 indictments, but halfway through, Turscak was dropped as an informant because he was dealing drugs, authorizing assaults, and extorting money.

FBI Diverts Resources from Child Pornography Investigation to Jan. 6, Resulting in Alleged Child Molestation: A Disturbing Unraveling of Priorities Revealed

In a shocking revelation reported by The Daily Wire, the FBI’s decision to shift resources from a critical child pornography investigation in Virginia to focus on the aftermath of the January 6 events at the U.S. Capitol has led to disturbing consequences. The suspect, Brogan Welsh, who was initially under investigation for engaging in explicit conversations about sexual acts with a 9-year-old boy, was inexplicably spared further scrutiny due to the FBI’s redirection of efforts.

Despite the existence of incriminating evidence, including a video depicting the abuse of a prepubescent minor, the FBI’s Washington Field Office halted the investigation on January 6, 2021. This decision, as revealed by court documents, ultimately allowed Welsh to relocate to Alaska, where he is now accused of engaging in sex acts with a 10-year-old boy. The report underscores the severe consequences of diverting attention away from cases of child exploitation in favor of high-profile events.

The FBI’s acknowledgment that resources were diverted in the aftermath of January 6 raises critical questions about the prioritization of investigations. While the agency asserts its commitment to pursuing crimes against children, the case of Brogan Welsh highlights the potential dangers of sidelining ongoing investigations with substantial evidence. The admission that a case was dropped is a rare occurrence, shedding light on the trade-offs made during a tumultuous period in the nation’s history.

Moreover, this disturbing revelation prompts a broader examination of the impact on criminal prosecutions in Washington, D.C. The focus on prosecuting individuals involved in the Capitol breach has coincided with a concerning trend in the U.S. Attorney’s office for the District of Columbia choosing not to prosecute a growing percentage of cases brought forward by local law enforcement. This shift in priorities, as indicated by Department of Justice data, has resulted in a significant increase in individuals going free without facing charges.

As the report delves into the statistics, a disconcerting pattern emerges: the decline in prosecution rates aligns with a surge in violent crime in Washington, D.C. The rise in homicides and carjackings, coupled with an increase in overall violent crime, paints a grim picture of deteriorating safety in the nation’s capital. The narrative suggests a potential correlation between the allocation of prosecutorial resources and the worsening crime situation, urging a critical examination of law enforcement priorities to ensure the safety and well-being of the community.

FBI Finally Investigates Satanic Pedophile Group, Only After Learning of White Supremacy Ties

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is currently investigating a disturbing online group known as “764” or “Harm Nation,” accused of engaging in satanic rituals, pedophilia, and exploiting minors for self-harm videos. However, the focus of the investigation has shifted towards a potential link to white supremacy, raising questions about the FBI’s prioritization of cases. This report delves into the details of the investigation, shedding light on the group’s activities and the controversy surrounding its classification.

For years, the group, believed to be operating globally, has targeted minors, coercing them into recording or live-streaming acts of self-harm and producing explicit material.

The FBI’s interest in the case heightened when allegations of white supremacy surfaced within the group. The domestic terrorism unit is now investigating “764” for “white-supremacy racially motivated violent extremism” (RMVE). The sole known arrest, Angel Luis Almeida, is a Hispanic man whose anti-white comments in court seem contradictory to the white supremacist label.

Led by a 19-year-old Russian called Yuri, who identifies as a “femboy” associated with left-wing queer culture, the group’s activities involve heinous acts of violence against its victims. Cooper Fay, a Florida-based private security professional, uncovered evidence of torture, with a majority of victims being white, although the group also targeted two black individuals.

Cooper Fay, who played a crucial role in exposing the group, claims that the FBI’s selective focus on the white supremacist elements might be influenced by political motivations. Fay argues that the primary concern should be addressing the child abuse aspect, emphasizing the group’s association with Satanism rather than political ideologies.

The investigation into the “764” or “Harm Nation” group highlights the complexities of addressing online criminal activities involving minors. The FBI’s decision to pursue a white supremacy angle has sparked controversy, with critics questioning the agency’s priorities.

‘Whistleblower’ FBI Agent’s Home Raided Amid Allegations of Classified Information Mishandling

Federal authorities on Monday reportedly raided the California home of one of the FBI’s own special agents — who alleged Russian intelligence agents may have “compromised” Rudy Giuliani while he was working as the lawyer for former President Donald Trump.

A search warrant — reported on by Business Insider — states that authorities searched the Orange County home of FBI Special Agent Jonathan Buma on suspicion that he violated federal laws against mishandling classified information. A receipt for property seized under the search warrant reportedly included “classified material” and “possible classified material” among the confiscated items.

Scott Horton, an attorney for Buma, denied the allegations and the property receipt as false. He said authorities seized computers and other items at the residence. Business Insider reported the property listed included nine laptops, three smartwatches, six tablets, two phones, and one desktop computer — most of which Horton said belonged to Buma’s wife and their children.

“There was no classified information found by the raid,” he said. “I know that from talking to my client.” (Read more from “‘Whistleblower’ FBI Agent’s Home Raided Amid Allegations of Classified Information Mishandling” HERE)

FBI Whistleblower Calls House GOP ‘Soulless Demons’ After Voting to Give the Agency a New $300 Million HQ

The FBI whistleblower has called House Republicans “soulless demons” after they voted for funds for a new FBI headquarters, and have not taken steps to reform the troubled bureau.

In a tweet posted on X, Thursday, November 9, whistleblower Steve Friend called out the House GOP after they voted to give the FBI a new $300 million headquarters.

“Last year, I brought protected whistleblower disclosures about FBI weaponization to House GOP. They used it to go on TV and get elected. I lost my career and am under FBI investigation. Today the House GOP voted to give the FBI a $300 million HQ. Soulless demons. Go to hell,” Friend posted on X.

Friend claimed when 70 House Republicans voted to approve the $300 million towards the construction of a new FBI headquarters in Greenbelt, Maryland, it was a direct contradiction of a commitment made to him by Rep. Jim Jordan (R.-Ohio), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.

“People who swore to lay down their lives for America have questionable loyalty to the country? They are purging and rebuilding an FBI with people willing to roll over their own countrymen,” Friend said on X.
