Every Democrat in the country is paying very close attention to stories like Eileen Wang\u2019s. They are panicking and getting hysterical, like a pink-haired gender studies major turning the corner and discovering Ben Shapiro giving a speech on campus. This helps us understand the unhinged things they\u2019re saying, the increasing levels of violence, and the crazy ideas they are coming up with, like firing Virginia\u2019s entire Supreme Court.<\/p>\n
This is becoming much bigger even than Watergate, at least in its apparent scope. (There were 69 indictments and 48 convictions in the Watergate mess\u2014 but all related to each other and to the one alleged \u2018crime.\u2019)<\/p>\n
Keep an eye on the indictments meter. Doomsters who hounded poor Pam Bondi last year with scathing \u201cwhere are the arrests\u201d memes owes her an apology. She was teeing all this up on the chopping block so that Todd Blanche could start dropping the axes as we approached the midterm elections.<\/p>\n
……………………….<\/p>\n
Under Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the pace of resignations, indictments, and arrests is picking up speed.<\/p>\n
Wang faces fines and potentially ten years in federal prison. But more importantly, as a convicted felon, she can no longer hold office or vote.<\/p>\n
I mention this \u201clocal interest story\u201d because it is part of the larger pattern of resignations, arrests, and indictments that I covered in more detail in Sunday\u2019s C&C post. Here\u2019s the summary, in case you missed it. First, just in the last three weeks:<\/p>\n
April 14th \u2014 Rep. Eric Swalwell<\/strong> (D-CA) resigns from Congress; he had been the Democrats\u2019 leading candidate, it\u2019s \u201cgreat white hope\u201d for California Governor.<\/p>\n April 20th \u2014 the Southern Poverty Law Center<\/strong> was indicted by a federal grand jury for bank fraud and secretly financing hate groups.<\/p>\n April 21st \u2014 Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick<\/strong> (D-FL) resigns mid-campaign for her fourth term, with a pending Miami criminal case over $5 million in allegedly stolen covid disaster-relief funds (CNBC: \u201cthird House member to quit this month\u201d).<\/p>\n April 28th \u2014 Dr. David Morens,<\/strong> longtime Fauci adviser, indicted by DOJ on covid-related charges.<\/p>\n May 4th \u2014 Michigan AG Dana Nessel files a 41-page criminal affidavit charging Fay Beydoun<\/strong> \u2014 a Gretchen Whitmer-appointed \u201cnonprofit business leader\u201d \u2014 with sixteen felonies for fraud and corruption around a $20 million state grant.<\/p>\n May 8th \u2014 Poul Thorsen,<\/strong> former CDC scientist and lead author of the foundational 2003 NEJM paper used for two decades to \u201cdisprove\u201d the MMR-autism link, was extradited from Germany and arraigned in Atlanta on two counts of wire fraud and nine counts of money laundering; he\u2019s being held without bail as a flight risk.<\/p>\n May 8th \u2014 Mass. State Rep. Christopher Flanagan <\/strong>(D-Dennis) was indicted on eight counts of wire fraud, one count of money laundering, one count of falsification of records, and three counts of filing false tax returns (~$40K, including a psychic).<\/p>\n May 11th \u2014 James Comey<\/strong> indicted by a federal grand jury for his moronic \u201c86 47\u201d seashell art project. (Also, yesterday, USA Today: \u201cComey says Trump DOJ may seek third indictment.\u201d)<\/p>\n Last week \u2014 FBI raided Virginia State Sen. Louise Lucas<\/strong> (D) \u2014 \u201cVirginia\u2019s most powerful Democrat\u201d and the \u201carchitect\u201d of the failed $70M gerrymandering operation \u2014 along with her marijuana dispensary, as part of what Acting AG Todd Blanche confirms is an \u201congoing criminal investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n Yesterday \u2014 Arcadia (Greater LA) Mayor Eileen Wang<\/strong> (D) resigned and pleaded guilty to being a Chinese spy.<\/p>\n That\u2019s just three weeks! All of this wildly gratifying DOJ activity should also be considered in light of the FBI\u2019s Fulton County raid (January 28th) and the FBI\u2019s criminal subpoenas to Maricopa County officials (March), both related to the 2020 Election. This level of politically adjacent prosecution spanning the entire country and involving state and federal levels and deep state actors like the CDC scientists is historically unprecedented. If it weren\u2019t happening right before our astonished eyes, you\u2019d place a Polymarket bet that it could never happen.<\/p>\n JEFF CHILDERS<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.coffeeandcovid.com\/p\/revolution-and-renewal-tuesday-may?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Every Democrat in the country is paying very close attention to stories like Eileen Wang\u2019s.
