Time for some Counter-programming, in the National Tale of "Dueling Impeachments" [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-09-16 — — It sure is funny how the national media always leaves out these important story angles whenever they gleefully cover the “Hunter Biden Story” / Inquiry / Impeachment. One could easily think, that covering “both sides of the story” is a lost art-form with them … For instance, why do they never mention this when talking about the “Hunter Biden laptop”? More than 50 former senior intelligence officials have signed on to a letter outlining their belief that the recent disclosure of emails allegedly belonging to Joe Biden’s son “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” www.politico.com — 10/19/2020 Or this important story angle, when discussing the main proponent of the laptop story? The Trump White House was warned in 2019 that Giuliani “was being used to feed Russian misinformation” to the President, which the Post first reported in October 2020. US intelligence agencies warned the White House that Giuliani “was the target of an influence operation by Russian intelligence” in which Trump was the intended recipient of the misinformation, according to the newspaper. Giuliani traveled to Ukraine in December 2019 where he met with Andrii Derkach, a Ukrainian lawmaker that the Trump administration in September deemed an “active Russian agent” and sanctioned for attempting to influence the election. www.cnn.com — 05/01/2021 And since the GOP inquisitors are so keen on ‘talking to whistle-blowers’ — Why in the world isn’t this guy at the top of their list? … Inquiring reporters should really want to know ... [...] Here are five ways in which [FBI special agent Johnathan] Buma's account could transform the emerging picture of the FBI and its interactions with Trump's circle: 1. FBI didn't care about Giuliani's possible Kremlin ties, Buma says "Rudy Giuliani may have been compromised by individuals suspected of being involved in Russian counterintelligence influence operations," Buma told Insider. And within the FBI, he said, "I saw important intelligence information being suppressed." [...] 2. Efforts to focus US voters on Hunter Biden and Burisma in 2019 were a bigger and longer-term operation than previously known [...] Buma's disclosure also points to the question of whether all the information attributed to Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop actually came from the laptop. By the time the New York Post went public with the laptop story, less than a month before the 2020 election, Giuliani had been engaged in months-long effort "to secure from Ukrainian and likely also Russian sources information that Giuliani believed would affect the 2020 election," according to Buma. 3. Bill Barr's DOJ fired Geoffrey Berman at a very convenient time — for Rudy Giuliani Among Buma's stymied efforts to investigate Giuliani was an undercover operation that was suddenly shut down, Buma said, shortly before Geoffrey Berman, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York whose office would have authorized the operation, was fired by then-Attorney General Bill Barr. [...] www.businessinsider.com — Sept 16, 2023 — — Insider has now published a video interview [in this article] with Johnathan Buma, a 14-year special agent working out of the bureau's Los Angeles Field Office. Buma is a counter-intelligence specialist who speaks Russian and holds an active Top Secret security clearance. He first raised the alarm through legally sanctioned whistleblower channels inside the FBI, and he remains employed there to this day. — To say nothing of the facts that: • Hunter Biden had no role in the Obama or Biden Administration. • You cannot impeach Joe Biden for stuff his son may have done. • Joe Biden is only guilty of loving his son unconditionally. When will the national media start echoing these facts? And stop buying/promoting the “misinformation campaign” — hook line and sinker? As in all things, in the fact-based world, these intrepid reporters would by wise to follow the edict: “Consider the source — and what’s in it for them?” … as they continue to distort the facts their Biden story, according to Rudy, and handlers. Russian Ops depend on such unquestioning gullibility. — — US Vice President Joe Biden (C) buys an ice-cream at a shop as he tours a Hutong alley with his granddaughter Finnegan Biden (R) and son Hunter Biden (L) in Beijing on December 5, 2013. Biden said on December 5 China's air zone had caused "significant apprehension" and Beijing needed to reduce Asia-Pacific tensions to protect its growing stake in regional peace and stability.
