Disinformation: Dems, Media Claim ‘No Evidence’ Supports Impeachment

The White House, Democrats, and media outlets have been pushing disinformation by claiming there is no evidence to support an impeachment inquiry into Democrat President Joe Biden. Their claims are, quite simply, disinformation and easily disproven as the House Republicans have already amassed mounds of evidence against Biden. The left's message since the launch of the impeachment inquiry seems clear and coordinated: Several media outlets, Democrats and the White House have all used phrases such as without evidence, no evidence, or no direct evidence to describe the House GOP effort that Speaker Kevin McCarthy announced earlier this week.

Cruz and Malliotakis sent a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Monday denouncing the possibility of a plea deal under consideration that could ensure the suspected architect of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and his fellow defendants never face the death penalty. The Pentagon has been negotiating and is considering entering into pre-trial agreements in which the five men, including suspected mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, would accept criminal responsibility for their actions and plead guilty in exchange for not receiving the death sentence. The negotiations, which have been ongoing for more than a year, are a result of concerns that the prisoners had been subjected to torture, including waterboarding, by the CIA and that that could hurt prosecutors' cases.

Clarence Thomas’ Corrected Ethics Disclosure Form Is Not Actually Correct

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas amended his ethics disclosure form to conceal the value of largesse from his conservative benefactor, Harlan Crow. Thomas' lawyer, Elliot Berke, set a new benchmark for partisan denunciations from a Supreme Court justice. Berke's over-the-top ideological taunts undermine the credibility of his confident assurance that there has been no willful ethics transgression, and any prior reporting errors were strictly inadvertent.

Thomas never reported the 2018 flight to Palm Springs on his annual financial disclosure form, an apparent violation of federal law requiring justices to report most gifts. Thomas involvement in the events is part of a yearslong, personal relationship with the Koch brothers that has remained almost entirely out of public view.
