Connecting Some Dots

There are some things we knew back in 2019 (I wrote here and here) that should have been earth-shaking news that would have prevented the situation we’re in now in our country. But they were ignored. Dribbles of additional evidence keep coming out to show that what we knew then—and certainly some people knew well before that—was true, and ever more significant.

A scripture passage I think applies to us here today.

Dan Bongino in his Tuesday, January 24, podcast laid out the details, adding in the new information. And he added a bit more in his Wednesday podcast. I had to listen to the podcasts several times to grasp it enough to repeat it. And then, as I try to synthesize, I keep coming upon more. So, before I get way too much for one post, I’m going to connect some dots.

But, spoiler alert, as Dan Bongino says (I counted 11 times plus the title of his podcast): Joe Biden is a foreign agent. He does not mean Biden is a 007-type spy; he means he is acting on behalf of foreign entities and what will benefit them, rather than acting on behalf of the United States of America as he swore an oath to do.

To lay this out, let’s back up a bit, so we can go through things somewhat chronologically. Do you remember Peter Strzok and Lisa Page? They were FBI people (and clandestine adulterers) who were intent on preventing and then disabling the Trump presidency. The means was the Russia hoax, the Christopher Steele dossier, etc. Among the emails Strzok and Page exchanged, there was one discussing who they should place to infiltrate the Trump White House to spy on a sitting president.

Incidentally, there was audio surveillance of the Trump campaign and also of the Trump White House after he was elected president. Spying actually took place. But this discussion was about placing a mole physically there.

They considered Mike Pence’s chief of staff, whose wife worked for Strzok. Then Strzok says in the text, “I’m talking with Bill. Do we want Joe to go with Evanina instead of Charlie for a number of reasons?” Page answers, “Hmm. Not sure. Would it be unusual to have [sic] show up again? Maybe another agent from the team?”

“Bill” is Bill Evanina. He was, as Bongino lays out, “knee deep in a scandal to get people into the White House, and to suppress information on social media, to spy on Donald Trump. And it looks like squash information negative for the Democrats.”

There was a Washington Times article from early December 2020 quoting Evanina as saying that “the federal government’s coordinated work with social media companies ahead of the 2020 election will provide a playbook for fighting foreign influence in the future.”

What we knew but now have clear evidence of—thanks to Elon Musk's Twitter purchase and opening up the files—is that the coordination was government using private corporations to take the actions that the government couldn’t legally take, to censor and suppress information it didn’t like. It’s corruption in a very socialist/fascist kind of way.

Bongino points out, the question for years has been who was Charlie?

Evanina was friends with another FBI guy named McGonigal. Not just any random FBI guy, but the head of counterintelligence in the New York field office, the highest ranking FBI counterintelligence person outside of DC. Here they were on stage together, right after Comey was fired, praising Comey. Oh, how they’ll miss working with him!

It becomes obvious now that “Charlie” in the email is McGonigal. Charles F. McGonigal was arrested Monday—indictment unsealed last Wednesday, January 18, but the investigation ongoing since 2017—for influence peddling and other serious felonies. [The indictment document Bongino refers to is here. However, I also found this summary, with a link to this indictment document.]

Lest you think this is not significant enough, let’s add in some information Kash Patel has laid out in his Kash’s Corner on EpochTV last Friday. 

There’s a Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska, close confidante of Putin, sanctioned and charged during the Trump administration. He hired Christopher Steele, paid him for the infamous dossier. Deripaska’s attorney, Adam Waldman, is buddy-buddy with Senator Mark Warner, at the time the highest ranking Democrat on the Senate Intel Committee. They were discussing Christopher Steele, and texts show efforts to arrange a meeting.

Deripaska, according to the unsealed indictment, paid a quarter million dollars to Charles McGonigal, while he still held his FBI Counterintelligence position, to basically launder money and continue his (Deripaska’s) sanctions violations. McGonigal, it appears, took a bribe to work against the interests of his country.

That’s the main story. But there are additional dots to connect. Back to Bongino’s presentation, which leaves behind most of the Russia details and moves on to Albania. Because, again, the larger story is that Joe Biden is a foreign agent.

According to the charging documents,

On October 5, 2017, outside of a restaurant, in a parked car in New York City, Defendant McGonigal received approximately $80,000 in cash from Person A.

In the fall of 2017, at Person A’s residence in New Jersey, defendant McGonigal twice more received cash from Person A in the amounts of approximately $80,000 and $65,000.

A few months later, in February, McGonigal traveled with Person A to Albania and failed to report the travel to the FBI as required. Two days after returning, McGonigal requests an FBI-NY investigation into a citizen lobbyist.

Person A, who was later identified by the FBI-NY as a confidential human source, cooperated and provided information during the investigation. That is important, because the person these two were getting the FBI to investigate was the political rival of the Prime Minister of Albania.

A Person B is mentioned, who happens to be friends with Person A. Person B later helped facilitate a meeting between the FBI-NY and witnesses located in Europe by, among other things, paying for the witnesses’ travel expenses. Person B is later identified as several things:

·        An Albanian national employed by a Chinese energy conglomerate.

·        An informal advisor to the Prime Minister of Albania.

·        Retaining an official Albanian government email account and passport.

While the charging documents do not identify Person B, Bongino is willing to connect some likely dots. In August of 2018 the New York Times runs a story mentioning that, in November of 2017, “American authorities arrested Patrick Ho, a top executive of CEFC’s nonprofit arm, and charged him with offering bribes to officials in Uganda and Chad in exchange for oil rights.” CEFC is a Chinese energy conglomerate.

As Bongino explains, “The Chinese energy conglomerate CEFC made deals in the UAE and Kazakstan, and it also courted top leaders, such as like prime ministers, in places like—oh, Albania!”

Then, being sarcastic, Bongino says, “You know, wouldn’t it be really crazy if that guy had a business relationship with Hunter Biden? Ohhh! Oh, he does! Wow!”

According to the Washington Post, Hunter Biden received an additional $1 million retainer issued as part of an agreement to represent Patrick Ho, a CEFC official, who would later be charged in connection with a multimillion-dollar scheme to bribe leaders from Chad and Uganda. The retainer contained signatures of Hunter Biden and Patrick Ho, who was later convicted and sentenced to three years in prison.

So, Patrick Ho, on behalf of a Chinese company, is involved in bribing the Prime Minister of Albania, and is connected to Person A, friend of McGonigal, just arrested for influence peddling. Oh, and Ho has also been working closely with Hunter Biden.

By the way, Hunter Biden also happens to know McGonigal; their kids were on the same soccer team. Small world.

Bongino believes someone flipped. And that is related to the classified documents being found in various stashes by Joe Biden, left over from his vice presidency six years ago. According to an MSNBC reporter that Bongino cites, as well as Kash Patel, the FBI had been investigating into McGonigal for a while, at least since early 2017.

But they were investigating because they thought there was a Trump-Russia connection, through Manafort, Trump’s one-time campaign manager. Bongino says:

What I’m telling you is, the FBI may have inadvertently walked into a trap. They may have been investigating this guy, McGonigal, thinking they’re going to nail him, because of his connections to Manafort, who was Trump’s campaign manager. Now you getting the whole show? “Look what we got! And another Trump angle.” Inadvertently realized that this guy McGonigal’s larger connection may have been to a network that Hunter Biden was using to get money to influence his dad. And then they were like, “What do we do now? We can’t make it go away. We’re going to have to arrest this guy. Let’s just emphasize to Andrew Weisman and our other spokespeople in the media, the Muller hack, the Trump angle, through Manafort, but leave out all the Hunter Biden stuff.”

What does it matter? It matters because selling out your country for money is treason. And that’s what the Bidens have been doing.

There’s a Washington Examiner piece from September 2022 making the connection between Biden and Albania. Reporter Tom Rogan says,

The Albanian prime minister appears to be involved in a narcotrafficking conspiracy involving the Sinaloa cartel. That is to say, the cartel responsible for the largest share of narcotics smuggling into the United States. And for whatever reason, the Biden administration does not appear terribly bothered by this.

It sure looks like Joe Biden is ignoring Albania’s narcotrafficking with the Sinaloa cartel—to the detriment of our country—because of the influence peddling he has always used to build his family wealth.

Bongino is not the only one connecting dots. John Sullivan, talking with Stu Burgierre of The Blaze, talks about the huge amount of money flowing from China to the University of Pennsylvania—where Joe Biden received close to $1 million for “work” there (guest lecturing, which he didn’t actually do), and had his office—and papers, the first ones found in the growing list. The arrangement with University of Pennsylvania was courted by Hunter Biden.

Money poured in from China to U Penn—$67.6 million according to records. Two-thirds of that came in during the years Joe Biden was affiliated with the university.

During the Trump administration, Chinese spies were ousted from American universities. At the behest of the University of Pennsylvania, Biden reversed that policy, claiming it was “racist” to suspect Chinese nationals of spying, even though they were doing so. The Trump program had been working. Shutting it down benefitted China, and it benefitted the University of Pennsylvania, which was getting funding from China. And the timing of it appears to tie it in with China giving the Biden family a 3.16 carat diamond worth $80,000 and forgiveness of a $5 million loan—in other words, free money.

Almost as an aside, Solomon mentions that CEFC was intended to buy up US national gas assets and send them to China. He lists three things that we know about Biden’s dealings:

·        2013 December Hunter Biden travels with his father to China; Hunter creates an investment in China, which he ultimately gets 10% of. Hunter then facilitates a deal with American auto parts manufacturing, making sensitive technology for military jets. He gets the deal with a Chinese company known to be connected to the Chinese government.

·        2017-2018 is the U Penn deal, brokered by Hunter Biden, lucrative to both U Penn and the Bidens.

·        Until Patrick Ho got arrested and people got spooked from the CEFC deal, China was on the verge of scoring a deal that would take energy from American national gas, as well as the technology used to get it, the fracking technology, and give it to China—at a time when Biden was saying natural gas use was bad and was trying to curtail its use here—moving us from energy independent under Trump to once again dependent on foreign oil.

Solomon doesn’t list this, but Biden drew down the US oil reserves—reserves that are there to support us in times of war or natural disasters. This was ostensibly to lower the price of gas (which had gone up precipitously because of Biden’s policies), but couldn’t do that, because he went and sold the oil to China.

Biden acts as a foreign agent, benefitting foreign nations while harming US interests—and he does it for money.

Think back on his brag about firing a Ukrainian prosecutor, at a time when Hunter was on the board of Burisma, a shady Ukrainian company, getting paid for having no skills beyond the Biden name. The fired prosecutor was investigating Burisma.

I don’t think I’ve made it clear yet, and maybe I can’t, but this looks to be related to the classified documents caches. We were never told how those just happened to be found, and how/why they were looked for—suddenly, after six+ years, at an inconvenient time when the Biden administration was trying to claim Trump was the wrongdoer concerning classified documents.

Who sent someone to his U Penn office to looks for them? And then to his various homes?

Robert Gouveia asks, “Did Hunter Biden sell access to Joe Biden’s classified documents that were on the floor in his garage?”  There’s an email in question, purportedly written by Hunter Biden. But, according to Miranda Devine, author of Laptop from Hell, and expert on all things related to Hunter Biden’s laptop, this email was not written by Hunter; it looks like he copied and pasted from some possibly classified materials. That could be cleared up—or confirmed—by crossmatching.

Without that uncharacteristically intelligence-filled 22-bullet-points in that email, it is unlikely Hunter could have convinced anyone he knew anything about the oil industry or Ukraine; there’s no evidence anywhere else that he held such knowledge in his head. Nor is their evidence that he has the writing capability to produce such a detailed list on any topic.

Senator Ron Johnson describes the email as looking like background briefing material, what he says is called “scene setters” from the State Department, such as he has seen before traveling overseas. And it “is obvious that Hunter Biden is selling access to information.” He can’t say definitively that this is related to the classified documents that Biden has squirreled away, in five locations so far. But it is evidence of influence trading.

If Hunter had been marketing the name (and he’s still doing it, by selling his art for $50,000 on up—a surprising price for an unknown novice artist) but there was no evidence of favors granted in exchange, then his influence peddling would just be his own sleazy lifestyle. But there’s plenty of evidence that Joe Biden consistently doles out favors in exchange for money.

And right now Biden is pouring more and more money into Ukraine—one of his corrupt deal partners—ostensibly to protect their borders while he refuses to protect US borders.

To quote Bongino one more time:

Joe Biden is a foreign agent. His son is knee deep in this operation. His son is knee deep in selling his family name to international influence peddlers, who are using Hunter Biden as a conduit to Joe Biden, who’s now the president of the United States, for Joe Biden to influence people for money.

What can we expect to result from this evidence that's piling up? Bongino thinks that as long as this regime is in power, and in control of the Department of Justice, there won’t be any prosecutions. He thinks the likely result will be political.

I’m not encouraged by that. A political cost, if it materializes despite the controlled media, would mean more people vote against Biden in an upcoming election—which he may not survive to run in. And elections are run by these nefarious actors, so we can’t trust the outcome anyway.

I only know that having a president who is a foreign agent—a traitor to our country, selling us out for money—is untenable.
