#Smirnov had relayed to the FBI that the head of the Ukrainian #energy #company #Burisma told him he had paid both #President Biden and his son #HunterBiden $5 million. The claims were false but became central to a House #GOP probe of the Bidens.

A former informant has pleaded guilty to lying to the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) about a fake bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
Alexander Smirnov, 44, also admitted tax evasion after not reporting more than $2m (£1.58m) in income.
His claims became the basis of an impeachment investigation in Congress which centred around the false claims that the Bidens made millions in bribes from Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company.
But Smirnov admitted he made the story up, and pleaded guilty in Los Angeles on Monday as part of an agreement with prosecutors.

Le directeur du FBI Christopher Wray a annoncé qu’il démissionnerait à l’arrivée de Donald Trump à la Maison blanche. Ce dernier avait déjà fait savoir qu’il comptait mettre à la porte l’actuel patron de la police fédérale étasunienne pour y installer l’un de ses fidèles, Kash Patel, adepte de la mouvance complotiste d’extrême droite QAnon et figure du mouvement MAGA (« Make America Great Again »).

United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a US government agency linked to human rights abuses, has contracted services from the Israeli spyware company Paragon, according to a government contracting website. Wired magazine first reported on the US$2 million contract, which the agency signed with Paragon in September.\
\
The contract summary doesn't name a specific product, but Paragon is best known for Graphite, a spyware tool that, like its competitor Pegasus, can bypass the encryption of many smartphones and give access to the data inside. In 2022, the New York Times reported that the US Drug Enforcement Agency was also using Paragon’s software. That same year, the Federal Bureau of Investigations sought to deploy Pegasus, developed and sold by NSO Group, but backed out in response to public pressure. One week after the Wired article was published, the contract summary was updated with a stop work order, but the current state of Paragon’s work for ICE is unclear.

Not that we're surprised: Trump protected Kavanaugh from FBI investigation prior to SCOTUS appointment
Criminals protect other criminals who are useful to them. And nobody is more criminal pure evil than Trump
SCOTUS is, and has been for years, 6/9ths fascist thanks to Trump and especially Mitch McConnell, still the most dangerous person in American politics.

An interesting detail of the biography of Ryan #Raut, who was engaged in recruiting mercenaries for Ukraine (only Raut himself recruited more than 70 people for the war, of course with the knowledge of American intelligence services) and made an unsuccessful attempt on Trump.
During the search of the house of the son of the “fighter for Ukraine” large amounts of child pornography were found.Democrat-affiliated media continue to try to portray Routt as a lunatic loner, while it has been established that Routt has been on the radar of the FBI for many years, which considered him a “criminal in possession of a firearm”.
The US has a long experience of using such characters to assassinate unwanted politicians, including in their own country.
And all of them are then declared “lone nutters”.

This pig can't go after #Trump and domestic terrorists who attempted a coup in the US, but repeating the BS lies of pre Iraq invasion to go after enemies of genocidal regime of #Israel.
All because Israel killed a dual citizen of US and blamed it on Hamas.
He didn't give a rats ass when Israel murdered American reporters, aid workers and medics. Not to forget using chemical weapons against American citizens protesting the genocide.
Fucking infuriating.

Since this nation’s founding, the executive branch has been granted — or has claimed — immense power to enforce the law, including the power to surveil, investigate, and impose criminal or other sanctions that deprive individuals of their freedoms. Today, national security agencies — including those with law enforcement, intelligence, homeland security, and defense functions — combine their expansive authorities with unprecedented digital tools that peer into our lives and collect immense amounts of information about us.
And don't forget the role of Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft, and Apple in all of this. We are living through a War Against Privacy^TM^.

“Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an Invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul this unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of today.” – Theodore “Teddy” Roosevelt - US President The Progressive Covenant with the People speech, 1912- Audio – Library of Congress
...“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men’s views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”
-Woodrow Wilson, Former President of the United States, The New Freedom
...E. Howard Hunt is probably one of the best-known CIA operatives in the world. Tom Cruise’s character Ethan Hunt in the Mission Impossible movies is based on E Howard Hunt and he was arrested as one of the Watergate burglars. On his deathbed he confessed to the CIA’s involvement in the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy including naming Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson and the specific agency personnel involved in the plot: Cord Meyer, David Atlee Phillips, Frank Sturgis, David Morales, Antonio Veciana, William Harvey, and an assassin he termed "French gunman grassy knoll" who many presume is Lucien Sarti.
