Hunter Biden Just Lost Another Attorney. Remaining lawyers will use Second Amendment as defense against gun charge.
Hunter Biden Just Lost Another Attorney
One of Hunter Biden's attorneys, who has been tasked with defending him against a series of felony gun charges, is bailing out of the case.
According to Fox News, Richard Jones filed paper work Friday to remove himself as counsel.
"Mr. Biden has been advised of, and consents to, our withdrawal. He also agrees this withdrawal will cause no material adverse effect or prejudice to him and remains completely satisfied with Messrs. [Abbe] Lowell's and [Bartholomew] Dalton's continued representation of him," reads the document filed by Jones.
"Accordingly, our withdrawal as counsel will have no material adverse effect on Mr. Biden's interests," Jones added.
The move comes just days after Biden entered not guilty pleas to three felony charges in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.
Meanwhile Biden's remaining attorneys will ironically use the Second Amendment as a defense for at least one charge, arguing it is unconstitutional to deny individuals their rights if they are drug users.
His lawyers have already told Justice Department officials that, if their client is charged with the gun crime, they will challenge the law under the Second Amendment, according to a person familiar with the private discussions granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly. That could turn a case that is already fraught with political consequences into a high-profile showdown over the right to bear arms.
The dispute would come as the White House fights to tighten gun laws. And it could put conservative gun-rights enthusiasts, who typically criticize the Biden family, in unusual alignment with the president's son.
In August, Biden's longtime defense lawyer Christopher Clark also called it quits.

Hunter Biden enlists Hollywood mega-lawyer for counsel and funding, sources say
By Matthew Mosk
Updated on: May 9, 2022 / 7:33 AM / CBS News
Hunter Biden has garnered quiet support and financial backing from a high-powered Hollywood attorney while awaiting the outcome of a long-running federal investigation into his taxes and finances being conducted by the U.S. attorney in Delaware, multiple sources told CBS News.
Kevin Morris, the attorney known for crafting the $550 million licensing deal for the creators of South Park and who later won a Tony award as a co-producer of the hit musical "Book of Mormon," is now crafting a legal and media strategy for Hunter Biden, his office confirmed when reached this week. It declined further comment.
President Biden's son maintains a robust New York-based legal team handling his defense in the ongoing criminal probe in Delaware that has been focused on his tax and financial dealings. Morris has been operating behind the scenes and has turned his attention in recent weeks to conducting a forensic analysis and investigation into what happened to Hunter Biden's laptop - including how the device became public, sources familiar with his efforts say.
Entering the bruising political fight is an unusual move for Morris, who has long been a maverick in Hollywood. Morris founded a law firm that represented a cast of A-list stars and then began writing fiction and producing documentaries. He also subsequently helped negotiate another "South Park" deal, this one worth a reported $900 million, with MTV Entertainment Studios, which is part of the CBS News' parent company Paramount.
Hunter Biden could not be reached for comment, but his criminal attorney, Christopher Clark, confirmed that Morris is serving as an "attorney and trusted adviser" to Hunter Biden.
Morris has also been working on a documentary chronicling Hunter Biden's life since he has been the focus of conservative television commentators and investigated by congressional Republicans, a Democratic Party source in Washington said.
A source familiar with the arrangement between Morris and Hunter Biden said the attorney paid Hunter Biden's past-due tax debts. The New York Times reported in March that Hunter Biden told associates he had taken out a loan to repay delinquent taxes that were in excess of $1 million. A long-running federal investigation by the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney includes a close examination of Hunter Biden's taxes. CBS News has previously reported a grand jury has for months been hearing evidence on the matter in Delaware.
Federal investigators subpoenaed documents from a paternity lawsuit that included tax records for the president's son, an attorney involved in the paternity matter told CBS News. "They wanted every record relating to Hunter Biden we had," Clint Lancaster said. Lancaster represented Lunden Roberts, a woman who filed a lawsuit against Hunter Biden in 2019 alleging he was the father of her child.
A December 2020 subpoena from the U.S. attorney's office in Delaware, also obtained by CBS News, requested all documents "regarding [Hunter] Biden's income, assets, debts, obligations, and financial transactions … and all personal and business expenditures."
Hunter Biden and Morris both live in the Los Angeles area, where the president's son has been living while painting and selling his artwork. At one time, the law firm Morris founded was representing celebrities that included Matthew McConaughey, Ellen DeGeneres, Scarlett Johansson, Zoe Saldana, Zach Galifianakis, Chris Rock and Laura Linney. Morris also has authored two novels and a book of short stories.

Three More Hunter Biden Attorneys Quit, Bringing Total To Five
Three more of Hunter Biden's attorneys have filed a motion to withdraw from his ongoing case, after a Delaware judge dismissed his two tax misdemeanors without prejudice at the request of DOJ prosecutors - a move which will allow for the possibility of charging Biden in Washington DC or the Central District of California.
Mrian C. McManus Timothy H. McCarten and Matthew S. Salerno of Latham & Watkins LLP filed a motion to withdraw as counsel following US District Judge Maryellen Noreika's decision to grand the DOJ's request.
Latham & Watkins drew controversy the night before Biden's late July court appearance because a staffer from the firm allegedly misrepresented her identity to the Clerk's office and described herself as someone who worked for Theodore Kittila, the attorney for the House Ways and Means Committee.
The Committee was attempting to have Noreika consider testimony from IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler showing "political interference" in the Hunter Biden investigation. Salerno attributed the incident to a "miscommunication" and the staffer said in a sworn affidavit she did not mischaracterize her identity with intent to deceive the court. -Daily Caller
The move brings the total number of Hunter Biden attorneys who have quit to five, with the first - Joshua Levy, quitting in March, and Christopher Clark quitting last week because he could be called as a witness in the case after plea negotiations broke down.
"Brian C. McManus, counsel for the Defendant, Robert Hunter Biden, and respectfully requests this Honorable Court to withdraw all appearances for the law firm of Latham & Watkins LLP as counsel for the Defendant in the above-captioned matter," reads Friday's motion, which doesn't provide a reason for the move.
"Mr. Biden has been advised of, and consents to, our withdrawal. He also agrees this withdrawal will cause no material adverse effect or prejudice to him and remains completely satisfied with Messrs. Lowell's and Jones's continued representation of him."
Hunter will continue to be represented by Abbe Lowell of Winston & Strawn LLP and Richard I.G. Jones Jr. of Berger Harris LLP. Biden's top defense counsel, according to the Daily Caller.
Last month a sweetheart plea deal with the DOJ fell apart after Judge Noreika objected to terms which would have given Hunter broad immunity from future prosecution, even from unrelated crimes.

Christopher Clark, Biden's longtime defense lawyer, filed a motion with the Delaware judge who has overseen the case since a plea deal was announced in June.
"Based on recent developments, it appears that the negotiation and drafting of the plea agreement and diversion agreement will be contested, and Mr. Clark is a percipient witness to those issues," Biden's lawyers said in the filing.

Hunter Biden plea deal shows feds agreed to not charge past crimes - but changed course in court
By Josh Christenson July 27, 2023 10:18am1/2
Tucker Plea Agreement attached–dig in anons
First son Hunter Biden was set to receive sweeping immunity protection under the terms of a plea deal negotiated with federal prosecutors - only for the Justice Department to backtrack under questioning from a Delaware judge during a Wednesday hearing.
Special Assistant US Attorney Leo Wise and Hunter's lawyer Christopher Clark both signed a probation-only agreement to allow the 53-year-old first son to plead guilty to two tax misdemeanors and enter a diversion program for a felony charge of possessing a firearm while addicted to crack cocaine, according to a copy of the document obtained by Politico.
The memo stated that prosecutors would also not seek to charge Hunter Biden for any federal crimes attached to his case, which included millions of dollars in missed tax payments between 2016 and 2019.
The deal only left open the possibility of "prosecution for any future conduct" by the president's son- ensuring that possible violations of foreign lobbying laws and money laundering would be forever uncharged.
Under its terms, Hunter would serve two years on probation for the tax crimes. Justice Department prosecutors agreed with attorneys for Hunter Biden to not prosecute the first son for past crimes.
He would also have to seek active employment, remain sober, submit to drug tests, be fingerprinted by the FBI, and not commit other crimes.
His record would also be expunged thirty days after his probation period ends.
But in Wilmington, federal court, Wise diverged from the plan and told US District Judge Maryellen Noreika that the unprecedented agreement did not preclude prosecutors from the ongoing investigation into the first son's alleged crimes - prompting gasps from those in the room.
When Norieka asked whether those crimes could include violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), Wise responded, "Yes."
"As far as I'm concerned, the plea agreement is null and void," defense attorney Chris Clark said in response. The agreement had made no mention of FARA violations.
Noreika repeatedly expressed skepticism about the scope of the agreement, accusing both sides of wanting her to "rubber-stamp" an improperly broad deal and asking Wise at one point: "Have you ever seen a diversion agreement that is so broad that it encompasses crimes in another case?"
"No, your honor," Wise admitted when Noreika asked if he could think of any precedent.
The federal charges stemmed from what DOJ prosecutors called Hunter's "lucrative domestic and international business interests" at his private equity firm Rosemont Seneca between 2017 and 2019 as an attorney and businessman, as well as his position on the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings and the Chinese private equity fund BHR Partners. In 2018 alone, Hunter raked in $2.6 million in business and consulting work for Burisma and BHR. Additionally, the first son took in $2.3 million in 2017 and $2.1 million in 2018 as legal counsel at the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner LLP….

Hunter Biden will plead guilty in a deal that likely averts time behind bars in a tax and gun case
President Joe Biden's son Hunter will plead guilty to federal tax offenses but avoid full prosecution on a separate gun charge in a deal with the Justice Department that likely spares him time behind bars.
Hunter Biden, 53, will plead guilty to the misdemeanor tax offenses as part of an agreement made public Tuesday. The agreement will also avert prosecution on a felony charge of illegally possessing a firearm as a drug user, as long as he adheres to conditions agreed to in court.
The deal ends a long-running Justice Department investigation into the taxes and foreign business dealings of President Biden's second son, who has acknowledged struggling with addiction following the 2015 death of his brother Beau Biden. It also averts a trial that would have generated days or weeks of distracting headlines for a White House that has strenuously sought to keep its distance from the Justice Department.
The president, asked about the development at a meeting on another subject in California, said simply, "I'm very proud of my son." The White House counsel's office said in a statement that the president and first lady Jill Biden "love their son and support him as he continues to rebuild his life."
While the agreement requires the younger Biden to admit guilt, the deal is narrowly focused on tax and weapons violations rather than anything broader or tied to the Democratic president. Nonetheless, former President Donald Trump and other Republicans continued to try to use the case to shine an unflattering spotlight on Joe Biden and to raise questions about the independence of the Biden Justice Department.
Trump, challenging President Biden in the 2024 presidential race, likened the agreement to a "mere traffic ticket," adding, "Our system is BROKEN!"
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy compared the outcome to the Trump documents case now heading toward federal court and said, "If you are the president's son, you get a sweetheart deal." Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, another presidential challenger, used the same term.
Two people familiar with the investigation said the Justice Department would recommend 24 months of probation for the tax charges, meaning Hunter Biden will not face time in prison. But the decision to go along with any deal is up to the judge. The people were not authorized to speak publicly by name and spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.
He is to plead guilty to failing to pay more than $100,000 in taxes on over $1.5 million in income in both 2017 and 2018, charges that carry a maximum possible penalty of a year in prison. The back taxes have since been paid, according to a person familiar with the investigation.
The gun charge states that Hunter Biden possessed a handgun, a Colt Cobra .38 Special, for 11 days in October 2018 despite knowing he was a drug user. The rarely filed count carries a maximum sentence of up to 10 years in prison, but the Justice Department said Hunter Biden had reached a pretrial agreement. This likely means as long as he adheres to the conditions, the case will be wiped from his record.
Christopher Clark, a lawyer for Hunter Biden, said in a statement that it was his understanding that the five-year investigation had now been resolved.
"I know Hunter believes it is important to take responsibility for these mistakes he made during a period of turmoil and addiction in his life," Clark said. "He looks forward to continuing his recovery and moving forward."
The agreement comes as the Justice Department pursues perhaps the most consequential case in its history against Trump, the first former president to face federal criminal charges. The resolution of Hunter Biden's case comes just days after a 37-count indictment against Trump in relation to accusations of mishandling classified documents on his Florida estate. It was filed by a special counsel, appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland to avoid any potential conflict of interest in the Justice Department.
That indictment has nevertheless brought an onslaught of Republican criticism of "politicization" of the Justice Department. Meanwhile, congressional Republicans continue to pursue their own investigations into nearly every facet of Hunter Biden's business dealings, including foreign payments.

US nuclear plant admits to radioactive leak
A Minnesota facility disclosed tritium water spill after applying for license extension
(Are you fucking kidding me?)
Authorities in the northern US state of Minnesota revealed on Thursday that a nuclear power plant near Minneapolis had suffered aradioactive water spill amounting to over 1.5 million liters. Xcel Energy, which owns the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, is working to clean up the spill and insists there is no danger to the general public.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) said that about 400,000 gallons of tritiated waterleaked from a broken pipeat the facility. The leak was first discovered onNovember 22, and its source was found onDecember 19and patched "soon after."(wtf, how soon)
Authorities decided to keep the public in the dark about the incident, while Xcel Energy and the state were "actively managing" the situation to prevent the underground plume of irradiated water from spreading to the nearbyMississippi River, MPCA assistant commissioner Kirk Koudelka told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
"Now that we have all the information about where the leak occurred, how much was released into groundwater, and that contaminated groundwater had moved beyond the original location, we are sharing this information," Minnesota Pollution Control Agency spokesman Michael Rafferty said on Thursday.
"This does not present a public health or drinking water issue," said Christopher Clark, Xcel's president for Minnesota. He admitted the tritiated water is "well above" the 20,000 picocuries standard mandated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), being "in the millions" directly below the plant.
The city of Monticello issued a statement saying its drinking water supply was not affected by the leak, which happened outside the area from which they draw groundwater for municipal wells.
The contaminated water has not been detected beyond the plant's perimeter, Xcel told KMSP-TV. An estimated 25% of the water has been recovered and pumped into a treatment system on site. The company is considering building storage tanks or a retention pond for the project, which could take a year or more.
Viktoria Mitlyng, a spokeswoman for the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), said the leak was well below the NRC safety threshold and that the plan was not violating regulations. Tritium leaks "are not uncommon for nuclear plants," she added.
The Monticello facility had a leak of about 2,000 gallons (7,500 liters) in 1981, with some of the water reaching the river, but state health officials said it posed no danger to wildlife or public health.
In January, Xcel sent an application to the NRC to extend Monticello's license for another 20 years beyond 2030, when its current permit is set to expire. The company said the extension was "critical" to meet the new Minnesota law, which mandates 100% carbon-free electricity by 2040.
Tritium is a "mildly" radioactive isotope of hydrogen, often found in water used to cool nuclear reactors. The only way it can affect people is if they breathe it in or drink tritiated water, said Daniel Huff, an assistant commissioner at the Minnesota Department of Health, adding that the public's exposure from a nuclear power plant "should be zero."

Former Business Partner of Hunter's Personal Attorney Is Now Over the DOJ's Criminal Division, Ironically Despite Ample Evidence of Crimes on Hunter's Laptop, Hunter Goes Free
The former business partner of Hunter Biden's attorney was picked as Chief of Biden's Justice Department's Criminal Division. Now he's blocking any serious investigation of Hunter Biden.
We reported more than a year ago about Nicholas McQuaid, Biden's pick in his Justice Department who is connected to Hunter Biden. FOX News reported this at the time:
Fox News host Tucker Carlson reported a former business partner of Hunter Biden's criminal defense attorney has been picked as a top Justice Department official in President Biden's new administration.
It has already been revealed that Nicholas McQuaid, a former federal prosecutor, was picked as acting chief of the Justice Department's criminal division. Hunter Biden confirmed in early December, after his father won the 2020 election, that he was under federal investigation.
Carlson said on his show Friday night that McQuaid worked with Christopher Clark as partners at Latham & Watkins and worked on cases together right until McQuaid took the job at the Justice Department.
It now looks like McQuaid is doing exactly what he was hired to do, prevent and stop any investigations of Hunter Biden.
Biden's DOJ reported on McQuaid's hiring on January 21, 2021, a day after the Biden inauguration. The press release failed to mention McQuaid's partner was Hunter Biden's criminal attorney. McQuaid was put over the criminal division.
For some reason there is nothing going on with Hunter Biden's laptop and no investigations of Hunter that we know of despite buckets of real and potential crimes. How could this be?

The War in Ukraine May Be Impossible to Stop. And the U.S. Deserves Much of the Blame.
May 31, 2022
In the Paris daily Le Figaro this month, Henri Guaino, a top adviser to Nicolas Sarkozy when he was president of France, warned that Europe's countries, under the shortsighted leadership of the United States, were "sleepwalking" into war with Russia. Mr. Guaino was borrowing a metaphor that the historian Christopher Clark used to describe the origins of World War I.
Naturally, Mr. Guaino understands that Russia is most directly to blame for the present conflict in Ukraine. It was Russia that massed its troops on the frontier last fall and winter and - having demanded from NATO a number of Ukraine-related security guarantees that NATO rejected - began the shelling and killing on Feb. 24.
But the United States has helped turn this tragic, local and ambiguous conflict into a potential world conflagration. By misunderstanding the war's logic, Mr. Guaino argues, the West, led by the Biden administration, is giving the conflict a momentum that may be impossible to stop.

Hunter Biden's 'Sugar Brother' Revealed, Paid Off Over $2M of His Taxes and Funds Luxury Lifestyle in LA: Report
A new report says a high-profile Hollywood lawyer paid off Hunter Biden's tax debt.
The report in the New York Post did not explain why attorney Kevin Morris cleaned up after President Joe Biden's son.
The report, based on information from "a source familiar with conversations between the two," said Morris forked over about $2 million to square things with the Internal Revenue Service and is also doling out dollars to support Hunter Biden's luxury lifestyle in Los Angeles.
The Post report said Morris, who is also advising Hunter Biden about his art sales, has been dubbed Hunter Biden's "sugar brother," by Biden's friends.
Hunter Biden had taken out a loan last year to pay his overdue taxes.
The Post was unable to get to the bottom of its source's story because a visit to Morris's house ended with the door slammed in their reporter's face.
Morris is an entertainment attorney and novelist. He was a founding member of the firm Morris Yorn Barnes Levine in Los Angeles, which represents multiple celebrities, but is no longer with the firm.
Christopher Clark, Hunter Biden's attorney for criminal issues, said Morris is an "attorney and trusted adviser" to Hunter Biden, according to CBS.
In its report, CBS said Morris is "crafting a legal and media strategy for Hunter Biden."
Hunter Biden's complex web of financial deals, including his tax issues, has been under investigation by the U.S. Attorney's office in Delaware. Further, Republicans have been laying the groundwork to investigate all of the emerging issues related to Hunter Biden if they gain control of the House this fall.https://nypost.com/2022/05/08/hollywood-lawyer-kevin-morris-paid-off-over-2m-of-hunter-bidens-taxes/

Hunter Biden has enlisted a top Hollywood lawyer as an "attorney and trusted adviser" to investigate how his laptop became public, among other things, CBS reported Monday.
The attorney, Kevin Morris, is reportedly working on a documentary on President Joe Biden's son, and went so far as to pay off the younger Biden's past-due tax debts, according to CBS. His arrangement with Morris comes as he is facing a federal investigation into his taxes in Delaware, which is largely being handled by criminal defense attorney Christopher Clark.
Clark reportedly confirmed to CBS that Morris is working as an "attorney and trusted adviser" to Biden. Morris also has a long history as a donor to Democratic candidates, donating hundreds of thousands of dollars to candidates and super PACs since 2007.
Morris is reportedly conducting a forensic investigation into Biden's laptop, which became public prior to the 2020 election.
The New York Post first wrote about the contents of the laptop after the owner of a computer repair shop in Delaware said Biden had checked the device into his store but never picked it up. Biden and his laptop have been at the center of a political firestorm ever since, as tech companies and much of the media sought to censor the now-confirmed story.
Morris' documentary on Biden will reportedly focus on the events since the laptop first became public.
The law firm Morris founded in Los Angeles has represented Matthew McConaughey, Ellen DeGeneres, Scarlett Johansson, Zoe Saldana, Zach Galifianakis, Chris Rock and Laura Linney, among others. Morris no longer works at the firm, however.

Reliving the nightmare of 1914
World War I had no good guys, no winners, just mediocre, small-minded politicians unable to step back from the brink
by David P. Goldman March 4, 2022
World War I had no good guys and no winners. France rightly sought the return of the provinces Germany had annexed in 1870. Russia rightly feared that German influence would sever its industrial centers and tax base in the Western parts of it its empire; England feared that Germany would encroach on its overseas empire; Germany feared that Russia's railroad system would overcome its advantage in mobility and firepower. None of them wanted a war, but each of them decided that it was better to fight in 1914 than fight later at a disadvantage.
Historian Christopher Clark in his 2013 book The Sleepwalkers forever buried the black legend of German aggression in 1914, with proof from Russian archives that the Czar's mobilization - with French incitement - provoked the outbreak of war. There's no hero to cheer, no villain to boo in the first tragedy of the 20th century, just mediocre and small-minded politicians unable to step back from the brink.
All of them acted rationally in the pursuit of their vital interests, but at the same stupidly as well as wickedly, and the ensuing world wars undid the achievements of a thousand years of Western civilization. We look back to 1914 in horror, and wonder how the leaders of the West could have been so pig-headed. Nonetheless, we are doing it again today.
That should be an object lesson for today's Ukraine crisis. Vladimir Putin acted wickedly, and illegally, by invading Ukraine, but also rationally: Russia has an existential interest in keeping NATO away from his border. Russia will no more tolerate American missiles in Kyiv than the United States would tolerate Russian missiles in Cuba.
The United States could have averted a crisis by adhering to the Minsk II framework of local rule for the Russophone provinces of Eastern Ukraine within a sovereign Ukrainian state but chose instead to keep open Ukraine's option to join NATO. That was rational, but also stupid: It backed Putin into a corner.
There is no excuse for Putin's action, but there is an explanation that's similar to one that applied to his forbears of 1914: Putin chose to attack before the West had the opportunity to arm Ukraine with sophisticated weapons that would raise the future cost of military action.
China, a far more powerful challenger than Russia, is watching Ukraine with a calculating eye. It expresses sympathy with Putin's security concerns but chagrin at his military adventurism. It refrains from helping Russia to flout the sanctions that the West has imposed on Russia.
China has mechanisms in place to finance trade in its own currency, the RMB, and substitute for the SWIFT system that clears international banking transactions in Western currencies, but it does not want to provoke the West by mounting a direct challenge. It has called for a negotiated solution.
But China also looks at Ukraine through the lens of the Taiwan Strait. China has an existential interest in the One China policy, which states that Taiwan ultimately will be reunited with the mainland. China is not a national state but a multi-ethnic, polyglot empire, which was carved up into warring fiefdoms with the help of foreign intervention as recently as the 1930s. Any so-called rebel province threatens the stability of the Chinese state.
If Taiwan seeks a permanent break with the mainland, China will seize it by force. There is a parallel to Putin's decision in Ukraine. If the West attempts to make Taiwan impregnable to Chinese invasion - what some call a "strategy of denial" - China likely will use force before it loses the option to do so.
Then we will be on a fast track to nuclear war, as Admiral James Stavridis, the former commander of the US Pacific Fleet, portrays in his thriller 2034. China probably can sink American aircraft carriers with surface-to-ship missiles.
In Chinese official media, there is a grim discussion of the parallel between Ukraine and Taiwan. We misjudged Putin, just as he misjudged us. No sanctions or denunciations will hold back the Russian Army. We should not misjudge China. Sometimes an uncomfortable status quo is infinitely preferable to a roll of the dice on peace or war.

"The Justice Department appeared to reveal on Friday that its acting criminal division chief, who until recently was a law firm colleague of the defense attorney representing Hunter Biden, has recused himself from matters related to the federal investigation into President Biden's son. … Nicholas McQuaid, a former federal prosecutor, was appointed acting chief of the Justice Department's criminal division at the start of the Biden administration. Hunter Biden confirmed in early December, after his father won the 2020 election, that his business dealings were subject to a federal criminal investigation. McQuaid, now an acting assistant attorney general, was a partner at Latham & Watkins, with Biden defense lawyer Christopher Clark, and worked on cases with him right until McQuaid took the job at the Justice Department, according to court filings reviewed by the Washington Examiner."

Former Business Partner of Hunter Biden's Criminal Defense Attorney Is Picked for a Top Justice Department Position
The former business partner of Hunter Biden's attorney has been picked as a top Justice Department official by the Biden Administration.
The news came out last week:
Fox News host Tucker Carlson reported a former business partner of Hunter Biden's criminal defense attorney has been picked as a top Justice Department official in President Biden's new administration.
It has already been revealed that Nicholas McQuaid, a former federal prosecutor, was picked as acting chief of the Justice Department's criminal division. Hunter Biden confirmed in early December, after his father won the 2020 election, that he was under federal investigation.
Carlson said on his show Friday night that McQuaid worked with Christopher Clark as partners at Latham & Watkins and worked on cases together right until McQuaid took the job at the Justice Department.
"On Jan. 21 of this year, the same day Nicholas McQuaid was featured in the Justice Department press release, Latham & Watkins filed a motion in court to withdraw McQuaid as an attorney [in a case] he was working on with Christopher Clark. So that means Joe Biden put at the head of the criminal division the partner of the guy his son had hired to defend him against the criminal division. Whoa," Carlson said.
"We reached out to the Justice Department for a comment on this," Carlson added. "They refused to say whether McQuaid would recuse himself for matters involving Hunter Biden and his former partner, who is representing Hunter Biden. It's all pretty amazing. Another reminder, there's a lot going on within the Biden family."
Law.com refers to the new position as follows:
Nicholas McQuaid, a former federal prosecutor in Manhattan who served as a White House lawyer during the Obama presidency, has been named the acting leader of the U.S. Justice Department's criminal division, a role that will come with oversight of the Biden administration's early white-collar enforcement efforts and the ongoing crackdown on coronavirus-related fraud, according to people familiar with the move.

Zero National News Networks, Including Fox News, Are Covering Photo of BLM Supporters Kneeling on White Baby's Neck
The grandmother of the two year old boy in the viral photograph of Black Lives Matter supporters kneeling on his neck tells the Gateway Pundit that zero national news outlets have reached out to the family. In the photo, a man named Isaiah Jackson is seen kneeling on the neck of his girlfriend's two year old son as another person holds down the diaper-clad baby's feet. The photo was captioned with "Blm now mf."
Not even Fox News has bothered to contact them to cover this story and local media is blurring the face of the man and refusing to publish his name unless formal charges are filed. A kindness that has not been granted to people like Amy Cooper, who was doxed and had to flee New York City after a rage mob targeted her for calling the police on a black man. When asked by the Gateway Pundit if any national news had contacted them yet, the child's paternal grandmother said "nope, they sure haven't." She believes that this case is not being covered thoroughly because it doesn't make Black Lives Matter look good.
The Clark County Sheriff's Office in Ohio has launched an investigation over the photo and confirmed to the Gateway Pundit on Wednesday that they will be filing charges against those involved. Maj. Christopher Clark from the Clark County Sheriff's Office also confirmed to the Gateway Pundit that Jackson is now in custody. He was taken in on a probation violation while they decide what to charge him with in relation to the photo. "They don't want any chance of their being a possibility of the charges being dismissed," Maj. Clark said. "They want to make sure whatever case they put on him is rock solid."
"I'm confident, 100 percent confident, that there will be charges brought against these individuals. It's just a matter of making sure that our investigation is thorough and complete so that we file a charge that will stick and be convictable in court," Maj. Clark told TGP. They have not yet determined if the charges Jackson faces will be misdemeanors or felonies, or what level felony they are potentially looking at. "We're waiting on our prosecutor's office to make a decision on what level of charges and which type of charges to put on that individual," Maj. Clark explained. "What we're looking at on our end are charges related to child endangerment, possibly domestic violence, assault, that sort of thing. The big one we are looking at though would be a child endangerment type charge."
Maj. Clark said that they have interviewed the mother and that she was home at the time the photograph was taken, but was not in the room. When asked if she may potentially face charges as well, he said that is something that the prosecutor's office is reviewing. Just like with the case of Jessica Whitaker, who was killed by Black Lives Matter supporters for saying "All Lives Matter" during an altercation, the mainstream media does not want you to know about this case. Stories of public interest that make their darling Black Lives Matter look bad are deemed unimportant and insignificant, but they aren't. Good thing the dissident media is here to pick up their slack.

Texas ex-teacher who joined ISIS indicted on terror-related charge
A Texas man captured in Syria – where he said he joined the Islamic State – has been brought back to the U.S. on a terrorism-related charge.
Warren Christopher Clark, 34, appeared before a judge Friday in Houston Federal Court on an indictment accusing him of attempting to provide material support to the terrorist group. The judge ordered Clark held without bail pending a detention hearing Wednesday, according to reports.
U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces gave Clark to the FBI after announcing his capture earlier this month.
The George Washington University's Program on Extremism found Clark had sent ISIS a resume seeking a job as an English teacher.

Lansing man charged with supporting ISIS told investigators he didn't mean it in his heart
In a hearing before Magistrate Judge Phillip Green, Dunham detailed the more than two-year investigation, which he opened in December 2016, that led to Monday's arrest of Haji, Mohamud Abdikadir Muse, and Muse Abdikadir Muse.
Mohamud Muse, 23, and Muse Muse, 20, are brothers, officials said. Haji is their brother-in-law and cousin. All three were born in Kenya - Muse in a Somali refugee camp, Dunham said - and have lived in Lansing since at least late 2016.
Bob Kolt, a Lansing School District spokesperson, confirmed that records show Haji entered Otto Middle School in 2005 and graduated from Sexton High School in 2011. Muse Muse entered Eastern High School on Sept. 6, 2016 and graduated a year later, Kolt said. There are no records, Kolt said, that indicate Mohamud ever attended a school in the district.

Two Americans - Including One Texan - Captured in Syria Fighting for ISIS
Warren Christopher Clark sent a resume to ISIS volunteering to teach English in the caliphate capital.
The two Americans along with three other terrorists were planning a missile attack on innocent civilians when they were captured.
Clark was named in a George Washington University study as one of at least 64 Americans from 16 states who had traveled to Iraq and Syria since 2011 to join jihadist groups.
FOX News reported:
Two Americans were among five ISIS fighters recently captured in eastern Syria, according to a spokesman for the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces.
The Americans were identified as Warren Christopher Clark (aka Abu Mohammad al-Ameriki) of Houston, and Zaid Abed al-Hamid (aka Abu Zaid al-Ameriki), originally from the U.S., but no specific location was reported.
Clark was identified in an NBC News report last February as an American who had sent his resume to ISIS, in hopes of joining the terror group.
"We are aware of open source reports of reportedly American citizens currently in custody who were believed to be fighting for ISIS," Navy Cmdr. Sean Robertson, a Pentagon spokesman, told Fox News in a statement. "However, we are unable to confirm this information at this time. The incident is under investigation."

Britain and France conspired to start World War I
We are now before the 100th anniversary of World War I, the war that was supposed to end all wars. While honoring the 16 million who died in this conflict, we should also condemn the memory of the politicians, officials and incompetent generals who created this horrendous blood bath.
The continuation of this conflict, World War II, killed more people and brought more destruction on civilians in firebombed cities but, at least for me, World War I holds a special horror and poignancy. This war was not only an endless nightmare for the soldiers in their pestilential trenches, it also violently ended the previous 100 years of glorious European civilization, one of mankind's most noble achievements.
Professor Christopher Clark in his brilliant book, 'The Sleepwalkers' shows how officials and politicians in Britain and France conspired to transform Serbia's murder of Austro-Hungary's Crown Prince into a continent-wide conflict. France burned for revenge for its defeat in the 1870 Franco-Prussian War and loss of Alsace-Lorraine. Britain feared German commercial and naval competition. At the time, the British Empire controlled one quarter of the world's surface. Italy longed to conquer Austria-Hungary's South Tyrol. Turkey feared Russia's desire for the Straits. Austria-Hungary feared Russian expansion.
Britain kept stirring the pot, determined to defeat commercial and colonial rival, Germany. The rush to war became a gigantic clockwork that no one could stop. All sides believed a war would be short and decisive. Crowds of fools chanted 'On to Berlin' or 'On to Paris.'
Few at the time understood the impending horrors of modern war or the geopolitical demons one would release. The 1904 Russo-Japanese War offered a sharp foretaste of the 1914 conflict, but Europe's grandees paid scant attention.
Even fewer grasped how the collapse of the antiquated Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian Empires would send Europe and the Mideast into dangerous turmoil that persists to our day. Or how a little-known revolutionary named Lenin would shatter Imperial Russia and turn it into the world's most murderous state.

The War in Ukraine May Be Impossible to Stop. And the U.S. Deserves Much of the Blame.
May 31, 2022
In the Paris daily Le Figaro this month, Henri Guaino, a top adviser to Nicolas Sarkozy when he was president of France, warned that Europe's countries, under the shortsighted leadership of the United States, were "sleepwalking" into war with Russia. Mr. Guaino was borrowing a metaphor that the historian Christopher Clark used to describe the origins of World War I.
Naturally, Mr. Guaino understands that Russia is most directly to blame for the present conflict in Ukraine. It was Russia that massed its troops on the frontier last fall and winter and - having demanded from NATO a number of Ukraine-related security guarantees that NATO rejected - began the shelling and killing on Feb. 24.
But the United States has helped turn this tragic, local and ambiguous conflict into a potential world conflagration. By misunderstanding the war's logic, Mr. Guaino argues, the West, led by the Biden administration, is giving the conflict a momentum that may be impossible to stop.
