The FISA reauthorization process was intentionally confusing. Only Massie really tried to explain it. And maybe too late. Many argued (in good faith) a NO vote on RISSA was good. It wasn't. I explained situation on @NTDNews yesterday along w/issues surrounding reauthorization. https://t.co/7dB6K5WbYM

Video Transcript AI Summary
Yesterday's House vote wasn't directly on FISA or warrant requirements for surveilling Americans, but on bringing the issue before Congress, which failed. This is unfortunate because FISA will likely return without the warrant requirement. Section 702 of FISA has been chronically misused. A 2021 Inspector General report revealed roughly a third of 3.4 million database queries violated rules. There are a minimum of 10,000 people with access to this database, with many unknown entry points. No one has been held accountable. Problems disclosed in a 2017 FISA court report were supposedly addressed, but the 2021 Horowitz report showed problems have exponentially increased. I don't believe any reform can fix the structural problems with FISA. The intelligence community refuses warrants for surveilling Americans while Congress wants notification if they're surveilled, highlighting a broken system.

Speaker 0: Joining me now to dive into the debate over FISA reauthorization is Jeff Carlson, an investigative journalist. Jeff Carlson, thank you so much for joining us. Good to have you back on the show. Speaker 1: Yeah. Thank you for having me. Speaker 0: Now section seven zero two of FISA is up in the air right now after what happened on the floor house floor yesterday. How did that vote play out? What happened yesterday? Speaker 1: Well, you know, that's a good question because there's a lot of confusion surrounding this. Yesterday was not a vote directly on FISA nor was it a vote directly on having warrants required for surveillance of Americans. What it was was a vote on having that issue come before congress, and it all would have been kind of tied together, FISA as well as the amendments. And, unfortunately, that was voted down. And the reason that I say that it's unfortunate is because, a, we're almost certainly gonna see FISA come back before us, but we're probably gonna see it come back before us without the ability to require a warrant for surveillance of Americans. Yesterday's vote would have allowed congress it would have forced congress, actually, a better way to say it, to vote up or down on whether they agreed that warrants should be required before surveilling Americans. And now that didn't happen, and it's it's highly likely that we're gonna see this come back at us under a different rule set, and we're probably not gonna have that, that warrant requirement attached to it. That that's my guess. Speaker 0: Speaking of warrants, several Democrats and Republicans have been outspoken about section seven zero two of FISA, saying it's been misused or even abused. What are some examples of that misuse? Speaker 1: Well, it's been chronically abused. There there's a number of problems here. First of all, there was a report from the inspector general, Horowitz, the same guy who did the Russia collusion report, the FISA reports. And what he found is that, first of all, there was an immense number of queries, something like 3,400,000 queries of the database in 2021. And of that, approximately one third of them were violating the rules that exist under the FISA database. So in other words, there was either roughly 1,000,000 I mean, think about let that number sink in. 1,000,000 queries that were either illegal and or improperly done. And there's another issue here as well, and it's one that goes way, way back, and that is the accessibility into this database. You know, in theory, people think that it's kind of limited, and you have to go through all these rules and processes procedures to be able to get to this information. That's just not the way it works. There's a minimum of 10,000 people that have access to this database. And, you know, when when back in the day when Mike Rogers was working with the FISA court and they were trying to understand where all the entry points were into the database, they couldn't even find all of them. So it's it's it's a much more structural fundamental problem here. Speaker 0: And what happened after this misuse was discovered? Was anyone held accountable? What happened to them? Speaker 1: Well, first of all, nobody nobody was held accountable. You know? I mean, we it's something we've seen time and time again. Nobody's held accountable. We're told that the problems are fixed, and indeed, we were told exactly that. There was a FISA report that came out in 02/2017 from the FISA court, and it it, you know, disclosed a number of these problems, including the the access points into the system. And we were told that this was addressed, but, again, you have a Horowitz report and examination of the FISA process in 2021, and the problems only got bigger, exponentially so. So, you know, we we have a fundamental problem fundamental problem of improper queries going on at an enormous level, and we have a fundamental problem of far too many access points, too many people and access points that the system isn't even entirely aware of. So there's no way to say that we've either fixed the problems and or have proper oversight of the system. We don't. Speaker 0: On the flip side, section seven zero two of FISA is often touted as an invaluable tool in stopping terrorism, especially after nine eleven. Now what reforms are needed to it, or or is it just ending Faiza? Speaker 1: You know, if you'd asked me this question a few years back, I would have said maybe more reforms, but I don't believe that. I I've come to the point that I believe that there is no possible reform that can structurally fix this type of problem. You know, again, I would point you to the fact that even after reforms and a whole thorough investigation of the the FISA system, the section seven zero two, it's only gotten worse. The violations have increased, and they've increased at an exponential rate. And I I just don't know how you fix it. And, you know, the idea that think about it this way. The intelligence community dug in their heels and wholeheartedly refused to re to accept having warrants for any Americans that were being surveilled. Meanwhile, congress put into the bill a carve out that would require them to be notified if they were being surveilled. So what does that tell you? That tells you that congress believes the system is broken. They want notification if they are being surveilled. They're worried about being surveilled, and they find out about it. You don't have those same protections. Speaker 0: Jeff Carlson, thank you so much for your time. Speaker 1: Thank you for having me.

The popup NGO shell company issue is escalating and may become a significant story. It appears these entities were created to exploit taxpayer-funded programs, with the Climate United Fund being a prime example. Launched just months before receiving a massive $7 billion, it shows troubling financial practices, including high legal fees and vague spending plans. Ties to prominent Democratic figures raise further concerns. Trump's EPA Administrator is now investigating this fund, highlighting the need for financial scrutiny of these organizations and their connections to federal programs.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

This popup NGO shell company story is only going to get bigger. It may end up becoming the story. Looks like this may have been one of the primary vehicles to take advantage of the giant taxpayer-funded slush funds created by Biden—or whoever was running him. This is more than Grant Laundering. This is Program Laundering. And it looks like Obama's fingerprints are all over it. Hopefully @elonmusk & @DOGE are looking into this. @AGPamBondi as well.

@LizMacDonaldFOX - Elizabeth MacDonald

This is disturbing – Biden and Obama Democrats created a new beast, the “popup nonprofit shell” they suddenly launch to take in your taxpayer money supposedly for things like climate change and illegal immigration. Major front for taxpayer abuse with accusations of grift growing by the hour. Never saw it like this in decades covering IRS/taxes.   Check out the tax returns for one of these popup NGO shells, the Climate United Fund which got the biggest nonprofit grant in history out of Biden’s massive climate slush funds.   Kamala Harris and Biden’s EPA chief Michael Regan gave $7 billion total to the suddenly created Climate United Fund in April 2024 after it launched just five months earlier in November 30, 2022 when Its tax returns show it started with a tiny $547K in revs. But it spent a massive $451K of that $547k in just two months in 2023, a quarter of that on legal fees and the majority $323K mysteriously blown on no one knows what because its tax returns don’t say.   It has no stipulated plans for how it will spend your $7B in tax $$, just ephemeral solar projects in Idaho, Arkansas, and Oregon that amount to only about $50M total, a fraction of the $7B. It also gave money out of that $7b to Power Forward Communities linked to Stacey Abrams.   It has little to no details on how much its officers get paid that you typically see on NGO 990s, in fact virtually no details, red flags that it’s a shell. It supposedly is a partnership betw Dem insiders at investment firm Calvert Impact Capital, Community Preservation Corp. and a group called “Self-Help” (irony noted).   Beth Bafford is its CEO, a former “special assistant” in Obama’s OMB and a regional field director for the Obama Campaign.   As we tweeted about a month ago, it has ties to Democratic Party of California chairman and California State Treasurer Phil Angelides, Obama’s Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx, United Farm Workers of America co-founder Dolores Huerta and Patrice Willoughby of the Congressional Black Caucus.   Judge Glock, the Director of Research and Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute, noted on X that the Climate United Fund got your $7B ater submitting a small 49-page report. That was all it took. @doge @whitehouse @PressSec @x @mtgreenee @SenJoniErnst @realDonaldTrump #DOGE #DOGEGOV #Trump #spending #DOGECAUCUS

Trump's EPA Administrator, Lee Zeldin, is already going after the $7 billion that was "given" to the Climate United Fund. Hopefully it's time for some financial forensics. Great reporting by @LizMacDonaldFOX As noted previously, this story is only likely to grow. It certainly deserves to. It appears that these "popup NGO shell companies" were created to launder money from federal programs directly, becoming the program equivalent of a DAF (which can be used to launder grant money) between a federal program (that's really a government slush fund) and the sea of NGOs swirling around it. It will be very interesting to see how widespread the use of these popup NGO shell companies actually was. And which federal programs they were able to tap into. The great @ClimateAudit has done a thread on this which I'll attach to this post.

Kamala Harris and Biden’s EPA chief Michael Regan gave $7B total to the suddenly created Climate United Fund in April 2024 after it launched just five months earlier in November *2023* not 2022.

The thread discusses the events surrounding the firing of Ukrainian prosecutor Shokin and the subsequent appointment of his replacement, Sevruk. It suggests that Shokin was making progress in the Burisma investigation, which involved Hunter Biden. Sevruk was vetted by Blue Star, hired by Burisma, but deemed unsuitable. Yuriy Lutsenko was then appointed as the new prosecutor general, and shortly after, Joe Biden freed up IMF funding for Ukraine. Nellie Ohr's email about the Ukraine Black Box, which implicated Manafort, was sent on the same day Lutsenko fired Sevruk. The Black Ledger documents were made public, and Biden met with the Ukrainian Prime Minister, committing additional funds. The FBI had a presence at NABU, and speculation suggests a cover-up to protect Obama. The targeting of the Trump campaign and the subsequent attacks on Trump are explained, backed by emails and phone briefs. The post acknowledges that many details are left out and encourages readers to form their own conclusions.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

A very long tweet in an attempt to more clearly sum up. The basic takeaway from my thread below appears to be that once Biden finished getting Ukrainian prosecutor Shokin fired on March 29, 2016, there was a need to focus on finding the proper replacement for Shokin. Despite DC narratives, Shokin appears to have been honest (for Ukraine) and had been making very real headway in Burisma investigation and was also looking into Hunter. Meanwhile, following Shokin's removal, the Burisma investigation was still technically open and Latvian authorities had identified money laundering activities involving Hunter in Feb 2016. The matter needed to be fully contained before it exploded. Poroshenko appointed Sevruk as Shokin's replacement the same day as Shokin's firing - seemingly not entirely sure of the criteria for his replacement. It seems likely that Blue Star (hired by Burisma at Hunter's urging around this same time) was, in part, vetting Sevruk in April 2016 and found him unsuitable for ending all investigations. We know that Buretta, Tramontano and Painter attended an April 6, 2016 meeting w/Sevruk in Kiev, according to Blue Star’s memos. Enter Former Interior Minister Yuriy Lutsenko who was appointed Ukraine’s new prosecutor general on May 12th. The day after Lutsenko was appointed Biden freed up the IMF $1 billion funding to Ukraine. This is disclosed in the readout of the May 13, 2016 call between Biden and Poroshenko. Unknown if Hunter was alerted (by email cc) to this call as he was to the May 27th call (see below) and a later June 15th WH meeting between Biden and Ukrainian Prime Minister Groysman. On May 27, 2016 - another call between Biden and Poroshenko. This was the call where Hunter was cc'd on scheduling email. Why would Hunter need to know of this call...? Perhaps some final cleanup was in order. Joe Biden used a pseudonym email address for this email. More precisely, his assistant sent it to Biden's pseudonym email address with Hunter cc'd. Three days later, on May 30, 2016, Lutsenko fired Sevruk - who had been demoted to deputy prosecutor general under Lutsenko. Clean slate all around. It was on this same day - May 30, 2016 - that Nellie Ohr, wife of top DOJ official Bruce Ohr sent an email to Bruce Ohr and three other DOJ officials disclosing the existence of the Ukraine Black Box that was supposedly in NABU's (Ukrainian National Anti-Corruption Bureau) possession. At this time, Nellie was working for Glen Simpson's Fusion GPS doing "open-source" opposition research on Trump campaign. Important to note, no one outside of Ukraine knew of Black Box at the time Nellie sent her email. It's also important to note that in January 2016 the FBI began discussions to enter into a memorandum of cooperation with NABU. By Feb 2016, the FBI had a rep onsite at NABU. By June 2016 they had an office. Why would FBI suddenly need to be physically present at NABU? The Black Ledger docs would be made public by NYT on August 14, 2016, taking down Manafort in the process. NABU published the Black Ledger documents on August 18th. This would be followed by a press conference by a Member of the Ukrainian Parliament, Serhiy Leshchenko on August 19th. Recall that Alexandra Chalupa had been working for months on Manafort/Ukraine - and the Trump Campaign. June 15, 2016 - Joe Biden met with Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman at WH on June 15, 2016, and announced plans to commit an additional $220 million to Ukraine that year. Hunter was cc'd on scheduling email for this event/day. Joe Biden again used a pseudonym email address. June 30, 2016 - NABU and the FBI entered into a memorandum of understanding that allowed for an FBI office onsite at NABU offices. NABU has repeatedly refused to make the memorandum with the FBI public and went to court in 2018 to prevent its release. Speculation here: It seems that once Biden had sorted out the prosecutor situation in Ukraine, he needed to make sure his actions stayed quiet. Or relatively so. All the more so because it seems impossible to believe Obama didn't have at least a general idea of what was going on. Likely, the whole coverup was more to protect Obama than to protect Biden. And if that's true, they couldn't afford to have Trump poking around as the new president. Thus, the intensified targeting of the Trump campaign in spring-mid-2016. This also explains the explosion of attacks on Trump once he became president. It further explains why DNC lost its collective mind when Trump started poking around in Ukraine re: Biden. Call to Zelensky, etc. Leading to first impeachment (no conviction). This whole thing would be totally nuts if it wasn't also backed up by facts. Emails. Phone briefs. etc. There's obviously a huge amount of details left out here. A number of us have huge, far more detailed timelines on all this. Many of you already know a lot of these details. Perhaps all of them. See what you make of it all.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

It's starting to make sense. Shokin fired on March 29, 2016. Sevruk temp replacement. Met w/Blue Star on April 6th & reportedly memorialized meeting: BS "offered an apology for the “false” narrative that had been provided by U.S. officials about Shokin being corrupt and inept."

Biden's team concealed classified documents found at his office, contradicting their claim of immediate notification to the National Archives. White House officials, including close aides, actively hid boxes of documents months before admitting their possession. Biden's personal attorneys and employees visited the Penn Biden Center to retrieve these materials, yet their contents remain undisclosed. Troublingly, documents were potentially removed before the National Archives' assessment. The timeline provided by Biden's attorney was incomplete and misleading, omitting crucial details. This raises concerns of a cover-up, especially as Trump faces prosecution by Biden's DOJ.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

Long Post. Biden and his lawyers have always maintained that as soon as classified documents were discovered at Biden’s office at the Penn Biden Center they notified the National Archives. This was simply not true. The Biden White House took actions to secure and conceal the existence of classified documents held by Biden long before they admitted that Joe Biden held any classified documents. It also appears that high-level White House officials actively worked to sort through boxes of documents and took direct action to hide a number of these boxes from the National Archives - and from investigators - many months before they admitted to the possession of classified documents. On March 18, 2021, Annie Tomasini - Assistant to the President, Senior Advisor to the President and Director of Oval Office Operations - suddenly went to the Penn Biden Center to “take inventory” of President Biden’s documents and material - nearly twenty months before the officially acknowledged timeline began. As Jonathan Turley pointed out, Tomasini was “one of the closest aides to Biden and a close friend to Hunter Biden. Nor was Tomasini the only Biden official to visit the Penn Biden Center to examine Biden’s documents. The Oversight Committee alleges that the Biden Camp “omitted months of communications, planning, and coordinating among multiple White House officials” from their timeline of events. These officials included Kathy Chung, Penn Biden Center employees, and President Biden’s personal attorneys who were sent “to retrieve the boxes containing classified materials.” The timeline from the Biden Camp also omitted multiple visits from at least five White House employees, including the previously mentioned Dana Remus and Tomasini - along with Anthony Bernal, Ashley Williams and an unknown staffer. These “visits” took place in May, June and October of 2022 to access and secure what were purportedly personal items of President Biden at Penn Biden Center. More importantly, no one knows where these documents are - or what was actually in them. As House Chairman James Comer notes, “To date, the White House has not disclosed what was in the boxes Ms. Williams retrieved or where they were delivered.” Additionally, on the same day that Biden lawyers alerted the National Archives to the existence of classified documents at the Penn Biden Center, Pat Moore, President Biden’s personal attorney, scheduled a FedEx pickup with Penn Biden Center employees. According to Comer, “a FedEx worker showed up to Penn Biden Center on November 2, 2022, to load the documents and ship them out. In understated fashion, Comer said that he “finds it troublesome that boxes of documents were potentially removed from Penn Biden Center prior to NARA’s arrival and assessment.” In January 2023, President Biden’s personal attorney, Bob Bauer, released a statement that included a timeline of events that inexplicably began on November 2, 2022, with the “unexpected discovery” of Obama-Biden records at the Penn Biden Center. The timeline from Bauer & Biden was incomplete and misleading. It omitted months of communications, planning, and coordinating among the multiple White House officials, Ms. Chung, Penn Biden Center employees, and President Biden’s personal attorneys to retrieve the boxes containing classified materials. Bauer's timeline also failed to disclose the FedEx pickup that happened on the morning of November 2nd. Yet another Biden/Government coverup. Done as Trump is being prosecuted by Biden's DOJ for what are likely lesser offenses.

On July 23, 2023, Eisen released a comprehensive 264-page report titled "Trump on Trial: A Model Prosecution Memo for Federal Election Interference Crimes." The report assesses potential charges against former President Donald Trump for alleged interference in the 2020 election. Eisen's document provides a basis for prosecutors to evaluate the case's strength based on the Principles of Federal Prosecution. Eisen's involvement in previous investigations, such as Mueller's obstruction charges and Trump's first impeachment, suggests he is now working with both Jack Smith and Fani Willis.

In 2014, a bribe of 7mm was paid to the Ukrainian chief prosecutor's office. A letter from the office forced the UK Court to drop a case against Zlochevsky. The prosecutor and his staff were fired, and his replacement reopened the investigation into Burisma. Hunter Biden, involved in Burisma's legal affairs, received an email seeking his influence to stop politically motivated actions. These actions referred to ongoing investigations into Burisma and its owner. The investigations were terminated through a bribe.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

We know from an email sent by George Kent, deputy chief of mission in Kyiv, that a $7mm bribe was paid to the office of Ukrainian chief prosecutor Vitaly Yarema some time in latter part of 2014.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

Yarema's office issued a Dec 25, 2014 letter to the UK Courts - who had been investigating Zlochevsky - stating there was no longer an active Ukraine investigation into Zlochevsky. This letter forced the UK Court to drop case.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

Yarema and his staff were fired ~one month later. Yarema's replacement was Viktor Shokin - who reopened the Ukraine investigation into Zlochevsky & Burisma. At the time of the bribe, Hunter was — per Burisma — in charge of Burisma’s legal affairs. https://docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/JU00/20191211/110331/HMKP-116-JU00-20191211-SD984.pdf

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

On the day that Hunter’s appointment to Burisma's Board was formally announced, Burisma CFO Pozharskyi sent an email to both Hunter & Archer: “We urgently need your advice on how you could use your influence to convey a message/signal, etc. to stop what we consider to be politically motivated actions.” The “politically motivated actions” referenced by Pozharskyi were actually ongoing investigations into Burisma and its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, who had been issued an unusually large number of permits in Ukraine to extract oil and gas during his time as minister of natural resources. In April 2014, the same month that Hunter Biden joined Burisma, the Ukrainian Prosecutor General’s Office opened an investigation into the company. This was the investigation (along w/parallel UK investigation) that would later be terminated via the $7mm bribe paid by Zlochevsky.

The origins of RussiaGate may lie with Joe Biden, not to protect him, but to safeguard Obama and the DC Establishment's way of doing business. Biden's focus on firing Ukrainian prosecutor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma and Hunter Biden, was crucial. After Shokin's removal, the Burisma investigation remained open, and Latvian authorities flagged money laundering activities involving Hunter. Poroshenko appointed Sevruk as Shokin's replacement, but he was deemed unsuitable. Lutsenko replaced Sevruk, and Biden finally freed up $1 billion in funding to Ukraine. The FBI's presence at NABU raises questions about their knowledge of suspicious financial transactions. Biden's actions in Ukraine may have been covered up to protect Obama, leading to intensified attacks on Trump. The larger issue is the corruption in DC, with Biden being just one example. The shielding of Biden from investigation is to prevent exposure of others involved. John Brennan's false claim about Hunter's laptop being Russian disinformation suggests a broader deception.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

1) I've become increasingly convinced that "RussiaGate" may have actually originated w/Biden. Not in order to protect Biden, but rather to protect Obama - and the DC Establishment's way of doing business. Allow me to explain my thinking.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

2) Most are familiar w/sequence of events leading to the firing of Ukrainian prosecutor Víctor Shokin - as the direct result of political and financial pressure from then-VP Joe Biden. This thread, which focuses on Shokin timeline, is a good refresher:

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

3) Despite DC narratives, Shokin appears to have been relatively honest (for Ukraine) and had been making real headway in his Burisma investigation. Shokin was also looking into Hunter and his actions at Burisma. From Biden's perspective, Shokin HAD to be removed.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

4) Joe Biden appeared to be singularly focused on Shokin's firing. Secretary of State John Kerry even called Poroshenko on Joe's behalf - falsely claiming that Shokin had blocked cleanup at the prosecutor's office.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

5) But once Biden succeeded in getting Shokin officially fired on March 29, 2016, (he was pushed aside a few weeks prior) there was now a new focus and a new directive — finding the proper replacement for Shokin.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

6) Despite Shokin's removal, the Burisma investigation was still technically open. More importantly, Latvian authorities had identified money laundering activities involving Hunter in Feb 2016. That matter needed to be fully contained before it exploded https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-new-evidence-shows-hunter-biden-ukraine-payments-flagged-as-suspicious-in-2016

Report: New Evidence Shows Hunter Biden-Ukraine Payments Flagged As ‘Suspicious’ In Early 2016 | The Daily Wire dailywire.com

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

7) Poroshenko appointed Yuriy Sevruk as Shokin's replacement the same day as Shokin's firing. But it seems likely that Poroshenko was not entirely sure of the criteria for Shokin's replacement. Blue Star (hired by Burisma at Hunter's urging) began vetting Sevruk in April 2016.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

8) We know that John Buretta, Karen Tramontano and Sally Painter attended an April 6, 2016 meeting w/Sevruk in Kiev, according to Blue Star’s memos. It seems they found him unsuitable for ending all investigations into the full sequence of events.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

9) Enter Former Interior Minister Yuriy Lutsenko who was appointed Ukraine’s new prosecutor general on May 12th - replacing Sevruk. The day AFTER Lutsenko was appointed there was a call between Biden & Poroshenko where Biden finally freed up the $1 billion funding to Ukraine.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

10) It's unknown if Hunter was alerted (by email cc) to this call as he was to two later calls that took place on May 27th w/Poroshenko and a later June 15th WH meeting between Biden and Ukrainian Prime Minister Groysman. Regardless, the new prosecutor was in & the funds freed.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

11) On May 27, 2016 - another call between Biden and Poroshenko — Hunter was cc'd on the scheduling email. Why would Hunter need to know of this call...? Perhaps some final cleanup was in order. Joe Biden's assistant sent it to Biden's pseudonym email address with Hunter cc'd.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

12) Three days later, on May 30, 2016, Lutsenko fired Sevruk - who had been demoted to deputy prosecutor general under Lutsenko when Lutsenko replaced Sevruk as prosecutor general on May 12th. There was now a clean slate all around.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

13) On this same day Nellie Ohr, wife of DOJ official Bruce Ohr sent an email to Bruce and three other DOJ officials disclosing the existence of the Ukraine Black Box that was supposedly in NABU's (Ukrainian National Anti-Corruption Bureau) possession. https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/ties-to-ukrainian-national-a-unifying-theme-in-early-attacks-on-trump-2872609

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

14) At the time, Nellie Ohr was working for Glen Simpson's Fusion GPS doing "open-source" opposition research on the Trump campaign. It's important to note that no one outside of Ukraine knew of the Black Box when Nellie sent her email. It would later be used to target Manafort

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

15) It's also important to note that in January 2016 the FBI began discussions to enter into a memorandum of cooperation with NABU. By Feb 2016, the FBI had a rep onsite at NABU. By June 2016 they had an office. Why would the FBI suddenly need to be physically present at NABU?

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

16) On Feb. 18, 2016, one week after the first FBI representative was installed at NABU, authorities in Latvia flagged those series of "suspicious" financial transactions linked to Hunter Biden, Devon Archer & two other individuals involved w/Burisma. It was never investigated.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

17) It was later reported that “a series of loan payments totaling about $16.6 million that were routed from companies in Belize and the United Kingdom to Burisma through Ukraine’s PrivatBank between 2012 and 2015" Biden pushed for PB's closure in Nov 16. https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-new-evidence-shows-hunter-biden-ukraine-payments-flagged-as-suspicious-in-2016

Report: New Evidence Shows Hunter Biden-Ukraine Payments Flagged As ‘Suspicious’ In Early 2016 | The Daily Wire dailywire.com

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

18) Latvia claimed that a portion of those funds were transferred to Hunter, Archer & two unnamed persons, one of whom was a U.S. citizen. A Latvian official said “his government received no criminal evidence from Ukraine and thus took no further action on the investigation.”

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

19) It seems hard to believe that the FBI, with its new presence within Ukraine’s anti-corruption offices, was unaware of these transactions. Or never became aware after the fact...

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

20) June 15, 2016 - Joe Biden met w/Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman at WH & announced plans to commit an additional $220 million to Ukraine that year. Hunter was again cc'd on the scheduling email for this event/day. Joe Biden again used a pseudonym email address

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

21) June 30, 2016 - NABU and the FBI entered into a memorandum of understanding that allowed for an FBI office onsite at NABU offices. NABU has repeatedly refused to make the memorandum with the FBI public and went to court in 2018 to prevent its release. https://web.archive.org/web/20230130184652/https://nabu.gov.ua/en/novyny/court-supports-nabu-position-refusal-publish-memorandum-fbi

Court supports the NABU position on refusal to publish the Memorandum with the FBI The decision of the Sixth Administrative Court of Appeal confirmed that the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) lawfully refused to provide certified copies of Memorandum of Understanding between the NABU and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) at the request of a non-governmental organization "Pravova derzhava". This is stated in the decision of the web.archive.org

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

22) Existence of Black Ledger docs would be made public by NYT on 8-14-16. NABU published the Black Ledger documents on August 18th, followed by a press conference from Serhiy Leshchenko. Recall that Alexandra Chalupa had been working on Manafort/Ukraine & the Trump Campaign.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

23) Here is where speculation comes into play: Once Biden had sorted out the prosecutor situation in Ukraine, he needed to make sure his actions stayed quiet. All the more so because it seems impossible to believe Obama didn't have at least a general idea of what was going on.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

24) It seems likely to me that the whole coverup was more to protect Obama than to protect Biden. And if that's true, they couldn't afford to have Trump poking around as the new president. Thus, the sudden and intensified targeting of the Trump campaign in spring-mid-2016.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

25) This also explains the explosion of attacks on Trump once he became president. It further explains why the DNC lost its collective mind when Trump started poking around in Ukraine re: Biden. If Trump was allowed to continue, he would have discovered all that Biden was doing

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

26) All of this brings us to the larger issue surrounding this story. It’s not just Joe Biden who’s corrupt. Most of DC operates in a similar fashion - although they have the intelligence to cover their tracks by using a public guise of “Foundations” or “Presidential Libraries.”

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

27) Biden was an amateur compared to the Clintons, Obama - or even McCain. But that’s also why Biden has been shielded from investigation. It’s not because they care about Joe Biden - or even his presidency. It’s because they don’t want to be exposed themselves.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

28) John Brennan - along w/4 other CIA Directors - signed a letter claiming Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation. It was a lie. Brennan was CIA Director during Joe Biden's actions in Ukraine. Obama had to know as well. It appears the lie went far beyond the laptop. /END

Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the FBI in 2016, and by February of that year, the FBI had a representative onsite at NABU offices. The FBI's presence coincided with the firing of Burisma prosecutor Shokin and the flagging of suspicious financial transactions linked to Hunter Biden and others involved with Burisma. Despite requests for assistance, Latvian officials received no criminal evidence from Ukraine. The FBI and NABU later entered into a memorandum of understanding that allowed for an FBI office onsite at NABU offices.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

I've always questioned why Ukraine's National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) suddenly entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the FBI. By February 9, 2016, the FBI had a permanent representative onsite at NABU offices. https://web.archive.org/web/20230405111517/https://nabu.gov.ua/en/novyny/fbi-representative-will-work-together-nabu-detectives

Artem Sytnyk reported this during the Hromadske Radio broadcast.   According to him, this month the FBI representatives web.archive.org

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

The FBI presence onsite happened exactly as Biden was forcing the firing of Burisma prosecutor Shokin. The stated purpose of having FBI onsite at the Ukraine offices was to trace "monetary flows." Which is very odd.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

Because on February 18, 2016, AFTER the FBI was already in place, authorities in Latvia flagged a series of ‘suspicious’ financial transactions linked to Hunter Biden and others involved with Burisma. https://amac.us/latvia-flagged-suspicious-hunter-biden-payments-in-2016/

The flagged transactions involved “a series of loan payments totaling about $16.6 million that were routed from companies in Belize and the United Kingdom to Burisma through Ukraine’s PrivatBank between 2012 and 2015.”

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

Latvian officials claimed that a portion of these funds were transferred to Hunter, along with “three other officials” working for Burisma.

It seems hard to believe that the FBI, with its presence within Ukraine’s anti-corruption offices, was not aware of these transactions - along with everything else the Bidens were doing. They had to already know. At a minimum they had to find all this out shortly thereafter.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

Georgia's years-long court battle has revealed Dominion's security and audit flaws, including weak testing and rushed implementation. Experts raised fundamental concerns about the inability to accurately audit Dominion's systems and the system's failure to meet Georgia election law requirements. Cybersecurity experts provided evidence of Dominion's QR system's lack of security and the ability to generate fake QR codes. Additionally, Dominion's technical staff maintained control over server logs and made deletions in portions of the logs. The Dominion system also prevented the successful use of Risk-Limiting Audits.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

2) A review of court documents and sworn expert testimonies raise troubling questions regarding the Dominion voting system and its rushed implementation by the State of Georgia.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

3) Among the many issues raised was the inability to accurately audit Dominion’s systems in order to verify that the intended votes were cast as intended.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

4) Experts also demonstrated to the court how the Dominion system inherently prevented the successful use of Risk-Limiting Audits (RLAs) - the method employed by Georgia & VotingWorks during the recount.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

5) Judge Totenberg agreed with the inability to successfully perform a RLA, noting in her ruling that “there is no audit remedy that can confirm the reliability and accuracy of the BMD system, as Dr. Stark has stressed.”

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

6) Cybersecurity experts provided evidence to the court that Dominion’s QR system wasn’t secure, was subject to duplication, and that the ability to generate fake QR codes existed.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

7) A cybersecurity expert also found that during Georgia’s August 2020 elections, servers at two county election offices he visited “enabled unsafe remote access to the system through a variety of means,” including the use of flash drives.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

8) This same expert found that in one of these counties, “server logs were not regularly recording or updated in full and that Dominion’s technical staff maintained control over the logs and made deletions in portions of the logs.”

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

9) Experts also found significant problems with the testing processes used by Pro V&V. In a case that involved last-minute updates to Dominion software, the court was told that the testing lab “performed only cursory testing of this new software.”

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

10) A Dominion system experienced a “memory lockup” after scanning only 4,500 ballots during testing in 2019. Dominion determined that a “power cycle” is required after scanning more than 4,000 ballots. It isn’t known if this issue was fixed prior to the 2020 elections.

@themarketswork - Jeff Carlson

11) The court also found that the manner in which the Dominion system functions failed to meet the requirements of Georgia election law. As U.S. District Judge Amy Judge Totenberg noted, Dominion’s system “does not produce a voter-verifiable paper ballot." /END
