Third 5th Amendment plea in autopen cover-up; Obama included in “treasonous conspiracy” allegations
On Friday, in what likely will turn out to be the most stunningly consequential government cover-up in our nation’s history, yet a third Biden White House aide, former Senior Advisor Annie Tomasini, pleaded the Fifth Amendment rather than risk incriminating herself by answering questions before the House Oversight Committee about Biden’s decline and the staff’s use of the autopen.
Tomasini joins longtime Biden personal physician and business associate Dr. Kevin O’Connor and both Bidens’ former Senior Advisor Anthony Bernal, who also pleaded the Fifth. (Keep in mind, because reporting has been misleading, that taking the Fifth means refusing to answer ANY questions, not picking-and-choosing questions to answer. So it’s hard to know what information they’re trying not to divulge.)
Ron Klain, a.k.a “Biden’s Brain,” Biden’s former chief of staff who likely is at the forefront of the autopen scandal, is scheduled to testify Thursday. Since he’s coming in voluntarily, not under subpoena, he can’t plead the Fifth.
Steve Ricchetti, former counselor to Biden, and Mike Donilon, another former senior advisor, are scheduled for the next week. There will be others, too, in coming months.
According to Oversight Committee Chair James Comer of Kentucky in a Sunday interview on FOX News, this week will be “a pivotal week in the investigation.” Comer sees Klain as “one of the last men standing in this.”
(Funny side note: Comer pointed out that famed Democrat Party shill Rep. Dan Goldman of New York previously admitted that “you don’t plead the Fifth unless you’re guilty of something.” Ha, he said it; we didn’t.)
Not only do they want to get the truth out and hold people accountable, Comer said, but they also want to look at “everything that was signed” by autopen, especially during Biden’s last year, including pardons, executive orders and nominations.
“The smoke around the Biden mental fitness theory is a raging fire now,” he said, adding that they’re getting “a lot of good information.” He thinks the investigation will last a couple more months. But then the larger question will be whether or not the documents supposedly signed by Biden are legal. These conceivably could include such consequential appointments as that of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. (After some of her odd takes on constitutional law, we have to wonder if her fellow Justices would have much of a problem with such a challenge.)
Comer said, “I believe that if this investigation keeps going in the way that it’s going, that’s gonna raise serious concerns about whether or not Joe Biden even knew what was going on around him, much less whether he authorized the use of his signature on this stuff. I think all of these are in jeopardy of being declared null and void in a court of law.” He could say “with confidence” that there’s no evidence that President Biden “had any idea” what was being done with the autopen.
At the same time, he said rules for the use of the autopen are “murky.”
The question is huge for Trump because many of his never-ending court challenges in court now --- some, ironically, from Biden-appointed judges --- are based on Biden’s EOs, orders that Biden might not have even come up with himself. Here’s the Comer interview...

Some information that HAS come out, courtesy of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, concerns the origins of the Trump-Russia Hoax and just how high up this went. (Answer: apparently as high as it gets.) Yes, Gabbard did use the word “treasonous”:
“These documents detail a treasonous conspiracy by officials at the highest level of the Obama White House to subvert the will of the American people,” she posted on X, “and try to usurp the President from fulfilling his mandate.”
The plan to sabotage Trump’s presidency apparently was discussed during an Oval Office meeting on December 9, 2016 (right after Trump was elected to his first term). This is the now-infamous meeting that included Obama, Biden, Susan Rice, Comey, Brennan and Susan Monaco. The plan had already been hatched; we know because Monaco pointedly mentioned during a breakfast that morning attended by top political reporters that Obama had ordered an intel assessment of Russia’s role in the 2016 election. Most of this has been thoroughly covered in the newsletter over the past near-decade (!); at this point, we can’t do better than investigative reporter Julie Kelly to summarize and explain what a travesty this is. Her piece is a must-read...
These newly-released documents show that, in truth, the intel community did NOT believe that Russia interfered with the 2016 election, and that they couldn’t have, anyway. The inescapable conclusion: Obama’s team just made up their story. And, wow, did they stick to it. (Comey said at the time that his FBI would draft a dissent from the IC’s conclusion. And Comey and Brennan started doubling down on the phony Russia story.)
As you know, the DOJ is already conducting a criminal investigation into “grand conspiracy” on the part of ex-CIA Director John Brennan and ex-FBI Director James Comey, with more --- we’d guess James Clapper, Monaco, maybe even Hillary? Obama? --- likely to be added. Kelly’s piece also includes links to the full DNI report released by Gabbard.
RELATED BREAKING NEWS: Speaking of Hillary’s involvement, investigative reporter Paul Sperry posted this late Sunday afternoon, hinting at new evidence of direct involvement by Hillary’s campaign aides. Stay tuned!

Also, here’s the piece he posted just prior to Gabbard’s release of this new information. As Sperry reports, a U.S. intel had alleged, “Obama ordered the ICA to set Trump up and knock him off balance before he could even get started. This was an influence operation far more consequential than anything Putin cooked up. Obama and Hillary schemed the op, and the CIA and FBI ran it.”

Sperry must have anticipated the story earlier in the month when he wrote this report about possible perjury by Brennan, Comey, Clapper and Andrew McCabe concerning their use of the Steele “dossier.”

If all this seems like too much to digest, just sit back and watch Maria Bartiromo’s summary on “Sunday Morning Futures” and her MUST-SEE interview with Gabbard, who said the implications of the newly-released evidence of a “years-long coup” are “historic.” More whistleblowers are coming forward, she claimed, “who are so disgusted by what happened...they want to see justice delivered.”
“There must be indictments,” she continued. “Those responsible, no matter how powerful they are and were at that time, no matter who was involved in creating this treasonous conspiracy against the American people, they ALL must be held accountable.”

Here’s the full report from FOX NEWS…
EXCLUSIVE: The Obama administration “manufactured and politicized intelligence" to create the narrative that Russia was attempting to influence the 2016 presidential election, despite information from the intelligence community stating otherwise, Fox News Digital has learned.

Bartiromo also briefly interviewed Carter Page, whose life was upended by the FBI’s spying on him as part of the “Russia” hoax. Good perspective on the damage done by Obama’s operatives...

As more comes out about what deep-state Democrats did to poison the last three elections, critics are growing more outspoken. Scott Adams, in his Saturday podcast, took his comments farther:
“...Yes, I do believe that Brennan and Clapper and Obama probably belong in jail. My current thinking is that what they did was a jail-able offense and they did, literally, try to overthrow the government of the United States. Twice: once with the Russia Collusion Hoax, and then a second time with the January 6 Insurrection Hoax, which was probably designed to make sure that Republicans never rose again, which would be another form of election interference.”
These are two well-documented cases, he said, of them trying “to overthrow the normal workings of our elections, and we know exactly who was behind all of them.” (He added Nancy Pelosi, and of course, we add Hillary, to whom all roads lead.)
The next day, however, he noted that even though they were “dirty as hell” and “bordering on traitorous at the very least,” he didn’t see the smoking gun that would PUT them there. To that we would add one word: “yet.”
“Maybe because it’s complicated?” he mused. “And I’m just missing something?”
