Joe Biden's Son wasn't the Only One Running Sketchy Foreign Money Deals - John Kerry's Son was Involved as Well in Shady Chinese Investments...
April 4, 2019
“The bottom line is Joe Biden was the Obama administration’s point-person on policy towards Ukraine,” noted Schweizer. “He steered $1.8 billion in aid to that government and while he was doing so, his son got a sweetheart deal with this energy company – that we’ve been able to trace over just a 14-month period – paid $3.1 million into an account where Hunter Biden was getting paid.”
Schweizer highlighted Hunter Biden’s lack of professional or experiential bona fides in terms of his board position at Burisma Holdings.
“Suffice to say, Hunter Biden has no background in Ukraine,” stated Schweizer. “He has no background in energy policy. There’s really no legitimate explanation as to why he got this deal with this energy company, other than the fact his father was responsible for doling out money in Ukraine itself.”

Study finds fecal contamination in the majority of Madrid’s black market marijuana hash…
April 4, 2019
Pérez Moreno, a pharmacist from the veterinary faculty of Madrid’s Complutense University, and his research team collected 90 different samples of cannabis resin sourced from dealers on the street in different neighborhoods throughout Madrid. They found that 75 percent of the analyzed samples contained large quantities of the E.coli bacteria, which is an indication of fecal contamination.
Researchers blame certain practices involved in drug trafficking, namely the act of smuggling product by swallowing pellets of hash – referred to as “bellotas,” or acorns – in plastic film. “When they get to Spain, they take a laxative and expel the bellotas,” Moreno explains. “And then they’re put on sale.”

Doj Hits Back At New York Times And Washington Post Stories On Mueller Report
April 4, 2019
he Justice Department explained why it did not release summaries included in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report after reports surfaced that his investigators felt Attorney General Bill Barr mischaracterized their findings.
“Every page of the ‘confidential report’ provided to Attorney General Barr on March 22, 2019, was marked ‘May Contain Material Protected Under Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e)’ — a law that protects confidential grand jury information — and therefore could not be publicly released,” Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said in a statement to The Daily Caller.

Ted Cruz threatens legal action against Yale Law School for policy that ‘blacklists Christian organizations’…
April 4, 2019
The Texas Republican sent a letter, dated Thursday, to Yale Law School Dean Heather Gerken notifying her that he will investigate a new law school policy which Cruz said stems from “unconstitutional animus and a specific discriminatory intent both to blacklist Christian organizations and to punish Yale students whose values or religious faith lead them to work there.” Cruz believes that Yale's policy change could deny financial assistance to students based on the religious affiliation of the organization for which they choose to work.
Cruz warned Yale “the investigation may include a subpoena… or a referral to the Department of Justice for action against the school" and said that the letter was “notice of [Yale’s] obligation to take reasonable steps to retain all … information relevant to this investigation and potential litigation.”
