The Hypocrosy Of Biden’s “Presidential Medal of Freedom” Awards Were At Best Fraudulent

I thought President Biden could do nothing more egregious in his last month as President until he started pardoning and commuting the sentences of a massive number of convicted murderers and others guilty of horrible crimes against their fellow Americans: several thousands of those! These “get out of jail free” actions were inexcusable to the families of the thousands of those who were tried by juries, sentenced by judges, and paid for their crimes.

It got worse when news outlets published the most egregious crimes committed by many of those who Biden had released.

Add to that the unfathomable numbers of illegal aliens that Biden and his minions allowed entry into the United States — all of which were illegal. And Biden’s allowing them to come in was illegal for him!

Wait a minute: didn’t Democrats — including Biden himself — point fingers at Trump’s alleged crimes and parrot continuously, “No one is above the law?”

“But Dan, those people from third-world countries wanted only to escape the horrible circumstances they were forced to live in. We Americans owe it to those. We’re better than other countries. We need to open the door and give them opportunities to do the same things we have.”

FACT: For decades, the United States has allowed LEGAL immigration into the United States to an average of one million each year. Those millions have done it the “legal” way: getting permission to enter our immigration process and following the rules.

“That’s only one million a year. Other countries are far more accommodating than we are!”

FACT: the one million we allow into our country annually is more than the total number of immigrants allowed into other countries…COMBINED!

Though Hillary Clinton never made it to the White House as President, she shared the desire of many Leftists to open our borders to populate the Democrat Party with permanent “Democrats.” She and Bill were co-authors of the building of a permanent Democrat Party voting class.

435,000 plus non-citizens (illegal alien) criminals, of which 13,099 have been convicted of homicides and 15,811 plus convicted of various sexual assaults.

Hillary’s Illegal Handling of Classified Information and Documents, Including Emails

An FBI investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of classified information resulted in no criminal charges, but it revealed that Clinton and her campaign made statements in the past about her email use that have turned out to be false or misleading.

  • Clinton repeatedly claimed that she did not send or receive any information marked as classified in her personal emails. That’s false. FBI Director James Comey said more than 2,000 emails contained classified information, and some of them “bore markings indicating the presence of classified information.”
  • Clinton said her lawyers “went through every single email” to determine which ones were personal and which were work-related and that they were “overly inclusive” in which ones were provided to the State Department. Comey said the lawyers did not go through every email. Instead, they used header information and search terms to identify work-related emails, and, he said, it is “highly likely” they missed some.

As we did in May, when the State Department’s inspector general issued a report on Clinton’s unusual email arrangement, we will examine past statements Clinton has made about her personal emails and private server and how they square with the results of the FBI investigation announced on July 5.

Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, has denied mishandling classified information ever since the New York Times on March 2, 2015, disclosed that Clinton “exclusively used a personal email account to conduct government business as secretary of state.”

At a March 10 press conference, Clinton addressed her unusual email arrangement. Her office at the time said that on Dec. 5, 2014, it gave the State Department 30,490 printed copies of work-related emails. Clinton said none of them contained classified information.

Clinton, March 10, 2015: I did not email any classified material to anyone on my email. There is no classified material. So I’m certainly well-aware of the classification requirements and did not send classified material.

On the same day, her office released a Q&A that said the State Department used a “separate, closed email system for the sole purpose of handling classified communications, which was designed to prevent such information from being transmitted anywhere other than within that system.”

But about four months later, the inspectors general of the State Department and the Intelligence Community reviewed 40 of Clinton’s emails and found that four contained classified information. They referred the case to the FBI for what they called an investigation into the “potential compromise of classified information.”  The inspector general said the four emails “did not contain classification markings.”

After the inspector general reported its findings, Clinton and her campaign amended their public statements to say that she did not send or receive classified information. But that has also turned out to be false.

For example, the Clinton campaign last year released an “updated fact sheet” on Clinton’s emails that said, “No information in Clinton’s emails was marked classified at the time she sent or received them.” The campaign said, “It is common for information previously unclassified to be upgraded to classified” when emails are reviewed for public release.

Clinton told Fox News’ Bret Baier at a March 7 town hall event, “Nothing I sent was marked classified or that I received was marked classified.” She later said in the same event, “I will reiterate, because it’s a fact, nothing I sent or received was marked classified.”

Below are other examples of statements Clinton made this year, including one just two days before the FBI director revealed the department’s findings:

Clinton at a Democratic debate, Feb. 4: I never sent or received any classified material.

Clinton at a Democratic debate, March 9: But here’s the cut to the chase facts. I did not send or receive any emails marked classified at the time.

Clinton on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” May 8: There was never any material marked classified that was sent or received by me.

Clinton on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” July 3: I never received nor sent any material that was marked classified.

We now know from the FBI investigation that:

  • Over 2,000 of the 30,490 emails Clinton turned over to the State Department contained classified information, including 110 emails in 52 email chains that contained classified information when they were sent or received. (Most emails were retroactively deemed to contain classified information by the U.S. agencies from which the information originated.)
  • Some emails containing classified information “bore markings indicating the presence of classified information,” contrary to Clinton’s claims that none was marked classified. Comey did not provide a specific number.
  • “[S]everal thousand work-related emails” were not turned over to the State Department in 2014 but were recovered by the FBI. Comey said, “Three of those were classified at the time they were sent or received.”

At his July 5 press conference, Comey announced his office would not recommend that charges be brought against Clinton or her staff. However, the FBI director said Clinton and her staff “were extremely careless in handling very sensitive, highly classified information.”

“Only a very small number of the emails containing classified information bore markings indicating the presence of classified information,” Comey said. “But even if information is not marked ‘classified’ in an email, participants who know or should know that the subject matter is classified are still obligated to protect it.”

Missed and Deleted Work-Related Emails

Comey disabused Clinton’s earlier claim that in efforts to separate personal from work-related emails, her lawyers “went through every single email” and were “overly inclusive” in what were considered work-related emails that were then provided to the State Department.

Clinton’s lawyers did not go through every single email. As Comey noted, they used header information and search terms to try to find all work-related emails. As a result, Comey said that it was “highly likely that their search missed some work-related emails.”

Comey said the FBI recovered “several thousand work-related emails” that were not provided to the State Department, and he said they might have included some of the emails “deleted as personal by her lawyers when they reviewed and sorted her emails for production in late 2014.”

In an interview with MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell in September, Clinton said the State Department instructed her and other past secretaries of state in October 2014 to go through their emails and separate personal from work-related emails and then to provide the department with all of the work-related emails. Clinton said she directed her lawyers to do that.

Clinton, Sept. 4, 2015: And it took weeks, but they went through every single email.

Mitchell: So the lawyers went through it.

Clinton: Yes. Every single email. And they were overly inclusive, if they thought anything was connected. In fact, so inclusive the State Department has already told us they’re going to return 1,200 emails because they were totally personal.

More recently, Clinton said in a Fox News town hall event on March 7 that she had “turned over everything” to the State Department.

Back in March, Jason R. Baron, a lawyer at Drinker Biddle and a former director of litigation at the National Archives told us that he was concerned about the thoroughness of the lawyers’ review process to determine which emails to preserve and which to delete. As we noted then, the lawyers used search terms such as “Libya” and “Benghazi,” as well as the first and last names of more than 100 government officials to ferret out work-related emails.

Because of that methodology, Comey said it is “highly likely” the lawyers’ search missed some work-related emails. And, he said, some of them may be included among the “several thousand” work-related emails discovered by the FBI that were not among the 30,000 provided by Clinton to the State Department in 2014.

Comey said the FBI discovered those work-related emails in a “variety of ways.” “Some had been deleted over the years,” and the FBI “found traces of them on servers or devices that had been connected to the private email domain.” Others were found in the archived emails of government officials with whom Clinton corresponded. And others were “recovered from that painstaking review of the millions of email fragments dumped into the slack space of the server that was decommissioned in 2013,” Comey said.

Comey said of several thousand work-related emails that were not provided to the State Department, “three of those were classified at the time they were sent or received; one at the secret level and two at the confidential level. There were no additional top secret emails found.”

Comey added that the FBI “found no evidence that any of the additional work-related emails were intentionally deleted in an effort to conceal them in some way.” As for the emails sorted by Clinton’s lawyers (who then deleted all emails not deemed work-related), Comey said he had “reasonable confidence there was no intentional misconduct in connection with that sorting effort.”

Nonetheless, Comey said, it is “highly likely” the lawyers missed some work-related emails and that the FBI later found some of them.

Comey, July 5: It could also be that some of the additional work-related emails that we’ve recovered were among those deleted as personal by her lawyers when they reviewed and sorted her emails for production in late 2014. The lawyers doing the sorting for Secretary Clinton in 2014 did not individually read the content of all of her emails as we did for those available to us. Instead, they relied on header information and they used search terms to try to find all work-related emails among the reportedly more than 60,000 that were remaining on her system at the end of 2014.

It’s highly likely that their search missed some work-related emails and that we later found them, for example in the mailboxes of other officials or in the slack space of a server. It’s also likely that there are other work-related emails that they did not produce to State and that we did not find elsewhere, and that are now gone because they deleted all emails they did not produce to State, and the lawyers then cleaned their devices in such a way as to preclude complete forensic recovery.

In other words, Clinton was wrong when she said her lawyers “went through every single email” and were “overly inclusive” in what they provided to the State Department.

Baron, the former director of litigation at the National Archives, told us that Clinton’s description is what should have been done. Baron said a team of people could have reviewed all 60,000 emails by hand in a week or two. But that’s not what happened.

George Soros nonprofits gave tens of millions to anti-police groups and initiatives in 2021, tax forms show

Nonprofits in liberal billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundations network dropped at least $35 million into anti-police groups and initiatives in 2021, tax forms reviewed by Fox News Digital show.

Soros views overhauling the criminal justice system as a high priority and has bankrolled numerous groups and initiatives working on such efforts in recent years. He has also financially backed dozens of far-left prosecutor candidates as part of the efforts.

The financier’s nonprofits continued the push in 2021 by passing large sums to groups that back defunding police, hubs used by progressive activists aiming to dismantle law enforcement, and even funding databases to track donations to police department foundations and unions.

“The Open Society Foundations is proud to have been one of the earliest and most robust supporters of efforts to address the issues of crime and public safety while protecting freedoms that Americans hold dear,” Laleh Ispahani, co-director of Open Society-U.S., told Fox News Digital. “We have supported reforms to our criminal justice system that enjoy broad support across the political spectrum. We believe that our freedoms are threatened when state actors are above the law, and that accountability is even more essential when they are given the right to use force on behalf of the government.”

“The level of police violence, particularly impacting communities of color, has spurred reform efforts across the country,” Ispahani continued. “Open Society supports the exploration and development of policies that actually work to reduce crime and defers to communities regarding what alternatives make sense to them. Whether that includes shifting funding currently allocated to policing into services that actually work to address crime and improve public safety is up to them.”

“Since the murder of George Floyd, many communities have increased spending on policing, while deaths at the hands of police has continued to rise to new heights,” Ispahani added. “We continue to believe that reforms are needed and that communities should continue to lead those efforts.”

As part of the most recent efforts, Soros’ Open Society Policy Center sent $15 million to Tides Advocacy for the Electoral Justice Project, tax forms provided by OSF to Fox News Digital show. The Movement for Black Lives, a coalition of more than 50 Black Lives Matter-aligned groups that support defunding police and overhauling the criminal justice system, spearheads the project.

While few details are available online, the Movement for Black Lives said that the project would dole out $75,000 “to 12 Black-led ORGANIZATIONS that are expanding democracy and building political power in defense of Black lives” in a post on its website last year.

In addition to its anti-police work, the Movement for Black Lives has expressed support for cop killers. Last summer, the group called on supporters to sign a clemency petition that included Sundiata Acoli, who was convicted of murdering New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster during a 1973 traffic stop.

This was not the only Soros cash that made its way to initiatives that backed the BLM-aligned coalition last year. The Foundation to Promote Open Society, another Soros nonprofit, sent $10 million to Borealis Philanthropy for its Black-led Movement Fund, which provides support to the Movement for Black Lives, according to its website.

The Foundation to Promote Open Society also sent $10.75 million to Borealis Philanthropy for its Communities Transforming Policing Fund (CTPF) to “identify, support, and nurture promising community-based police reform campaigns.”

“The CTPF supports groups to build power, increase police accountability and transparency, end criminalization, and shift power and resources away from punitive, reactive, and carceral responses to preventative, transformative community-based safety strategies,” its website states. “The Fund values and resources work that addresses both the immediate harm caused by state violence and systemic changes necessary to create healthy, well-resourced communities, and transformative safety responses.”

The CTPF last year experienced its “biggest cycle of grantmaking yet” when it “committed and/or paid out” $5.2 million in grants to 55 organizations in 21 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, its website states. The CTPF added nearly $4 million in grants to 26 organizations in early 2022.

The tax documents further show that Soros continued his cash flow to a dark money hub used by far-left activists pushing to dismantle the police.

The Foundation to Promote Open Society moved $1.75 million to the New Venture Fund for the Community Resource Hub for Safety and Accountability, a clearinghouse of resources for local progressive activists on how to best deal with police reform efforts, which includes materials on abolishing and defunding the police.

The most recent CRH funding comes on the heels of the $4.5 million the nonprofit sent to the hub in 2019 and 2020. That money included half a million dollars that went towards creating the project.

While Soros’ first grant made its way to the hub the year before the defund movement gained steam following Floyd’s death, internet archives indicate CRH’s website went live around that time. A cached version of the site from late May 2020 shows it appears to have launched with around 400 resources on topics such as police accountability and alternatives to arrests.

Soros also put six figures behind a failed 2021 campaign to “dismantle” and replace the Minneapolis Police Department, Fox News Digital previously reported. His policy center pushed a $500,000 donation to Vote Yes 4 Minneapolis, a coalition of at least 33 activist organizations that championed a ballot initiative to amend the city charter to replace the police department with a public safety agency.

Meanwhile, Soros’ nonprofits also funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to Austin, Texas, targeting police last year, according to the tax forms.

The Open Society Policy Center granted $500,000 to the Equity PAC to oppose the city “unnecessarily” increasing the “hiring of new police officers.” The Foundation to Promote Open Society sent $200,000 to the Austin Justice Coalition to “educate the public about policing, the influence of police unions, and ways to keep communities safe without relying on the police.”

Soros also poured money into tracking police-related donations. The Foundation to Promote Open Society gave $200,000 to Poder in Action last year to support a project called The Prometheus Conspiracy. This money went towards creating a nationwide, searchable database of “charitable contributions to police department foundations and police unions or police associations,” the tax forms show.

“Not only has billionaire George Soros spent millions propping up pro-crime prosecutors, but now we’ve learned he’s spent the last year bankrolling efforts to defund the police as well,” Caitlin Sutherland, the executive director of Americans for Public Trust, told Fox News Digital.

Summary

In conclusion, based on the information included in THIS story alone, can any logical and patriotic Americans believe Hillary Clinton and George Soros should have received Presidential Medals of Freedom from Joe Biden?

Accolrding to President Biden’s actions throughout his presidency, all that is required to be considered a “good” American is to portray oneself and a Patriot…and be a Democrat!
