"We view this race as absolutely wide open, and Iowa is really going to solidify itself as the pivotal player," the person familiar with Pence's plans said. "It's a place that values Mike Pence's principles — traditional conservative principles — deep-rooted faith and uncommon character."

The former vice president will campaign in all 99 Iowa counties before the caucuses, the person said, adding that the campaign "will do the things that put Mike Pence in an advantageous position."

🚨 BREAKING 🚨

FBI Director Wray has confirmed the existence of the FD-1023 form alleging then-Vice President Biden engaged in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national.

He’s allowing this unclassified record to be reviewed at the FBI but hasn’t produced it to committee.

If the FBI fails to hand over the FD-1023 form as required by the subpoena, @RepJamesComer will begin contempt of Congress proceedings

“Federal prosecutors have obtained an audio recording of a summer 2021 meeting in which former President Donald Trump acknowledges he held onto a classified Pentagon document about a potential attack on Iran, multiple sources told CNN, undercutting his argument that he declassified everything.

The recording indicates Trump understood he retained classified material after leaving the White House, according to multiple sources familiar with the investigation. On the recording, Trump’s comments suggest he would like to share the information but he’s aware of limitations on his ability post-presidency to declassify records, two of the sources said.

CNN has not listened to the recording, but multiple sources described it. One source said the relevant portion on the Iran document is about two minutes long, and another source said the discussion is a small part of a much longer meeting.“

People will fight to hold on to their beliefs, and what they think they know, even when they are confronted with information indicating that said beliefs and/or knowledge may be falsely premised.

I think about this often and keep coming back around to this this article from April 2021.

On the subject of persuasion, beliefs, social dynamics… it’s one of the most illuminating I have ever read.

The ‘peripheral route’ people are nearly unreachable and largely tuned out. They are the headline readers, low effort news consumers.

The ‘central route’ people are active and make an effort to learn and figure things out.

The former group is far more likely to fall for fake news, manipulation, etc.

The latter group is less likely, because they actively consider the information and then decide what it means.

“If we come to believe something through careful and thoughtful consideration, that belief is more resilient to change.”

"FBI Director Christopher Wray on Wednesday offered to let House Oversight Chair James Comer view an internal law enforcement document at FBI headquarters that Republicans believe will shed light on an allegation that then-Vice President Joe Biden was involved in a criminal scheme with a foreign national, the chairman said in a statement.

The document has origins in a tranche of documents that Rudy Giuliani provided to the Justice Department in 2020, people briefed on the matter said.

The allegations of wrongdoing by the then-vice president, many originating from sources in Ukraine, were dubious enough that Attorney General William Barr in early 2020 directed that they be reviewed by a US attorney in Pittsburgh, in part because Barr was concerned that Giuliani’s document tranche could taint the ongoing Hunter Biden investigation overseen by the Delaware US attorney.

Barr told reporters at the time why he was being cautious: “We can’t take anything we received from Ukraine at face value.”

Former Pittsburgh US Attorney Scott Brady oversaw the FBI investigation of the Giuliani claims. The 1023 document being demanded by Comer is among the products of that investigation.

While the 1023 form documents the claims from the informant, it doesn’t provide proof that they are true, people briefed on the matter said. The FBI and prosecutors who reviewed the information couldn’t corroborate the claims.

Brady didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment."

Gal Luft, the “missing” witness in the House Oversight Committee’s Biden family corruption investigation, has told The Post he is alive and living as a fugitive in an undisclosed location.

New York Post

Considering this guy’s background/connections, it’s probably a CIA safe house or something along those lines.

“Israeli professor Gal Luft, who is wanted by US authorities for arms dealing, has gone missing in Cyprus after a Larnaca court had released him on bail, Cypriot website Philenews reported on Wednesday.

Luft had been arrested at Larnaca International Airport, in southern Cyprus, after Interpol issued an arrest warrant against him on suspicion of arms trafficking to Libya and China. He was then slated for extradition to the United States.”

Gal Luft is a director at the IAGS, the outfit co-founded and chaired by former CIA Director James Woolsey.

So these are the 3 articles I've been posting regarding 'The Band' the last few days. The author originally wanted to attack Trump with these articles but without knowing it at the time explained exactly how Trump and 'The Band' caught them all.
