Trump vows to appoint special counsel to go after ‘Manchurian Candidate’ Biden: ‘Will pay a price’

Published

Former President Donald Trump vowed to appoint a special counsel to probe the Biden family’s overseas business dealings if he wins a second term in office.

While blasting the mounting legal complications in his path to the presidency one day after his most recent indictment, Trump claimed President Biden and the “Biden crime family will pay a price” for their alleged misdeeds.

“As soon as I am reelected, I will appoint a real special counsel or maybe you’ll call it a special prosecutor … to look at all of these bribes kickbacks, crimes as well as the shameless attempt to cover up,” Trump pledged. “Justice will be done.”

Back in the 2016 election cycle during the second debate, Trump similarly vowed to appoint a “special prosecutor” to examine Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.

Ultimately, he never pursued that option as president.

President Biden already has a special counsel — Robert Hur — tasked with investigating his retention of classified documents.

US Delaware Attorney David Weiss, the point person in the federal Hunter Biden probe, was elevated to special counsel status last week.

Additionally, congressional Republicans led by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) have been scrutinizing the Biden family’s overseas dealings.

The White House has adamantly refuted GOP accusations of Biden family influence peddling, insisting lawmakers lack proof.

To justify his call for a special counsel against the Bidens, Trump pointed to a recent Oversight panel report alleging the Biden family and its allies raked in over $20 million from overseas.

“What were they doing getting all of this money?” Trump exclaimed. “I believe we have a compromised president. He was bribed and now he’s being blackmailed. He’s a Manchurian Candidate.”

The 77-year-old former president also laid out a litany of accusations, alleging President Biden was allowing China and other countries to “walk all over” the US.

He also dismissed Weiss’s recent elevation to special counsel as a ploy to “block further investigation.”

“It’s the very same US attorney who cut Hunter Biden the scandalous plea deal. That was such a scam,” Trump added.

Liz Cheney Reveals Lengths She Would Go To Stop Trump In 2024

Published

on

Former Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney said she is contemplating a third-party presidential run, warning of the dangers that would come from former President Donald Trump serving as president next year for a second term.

Speaking to the Washington Post on Monday while promoting her new book, Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning, Cheney said she would not have thought about a third-party run several years ago but feels the former president’s presidential bid threatens democracy.

“I happen to think democracy is at risk at home, obviously, as a result of Donald Trump’s continued grip on the Republican Party, and I think democracy is at risk internationally as well,” Cheney said.

Cheney, once a rising star in the Republican Party before becoming one of Trump’s most outspoken GOP critics, said she would make a final decision within the next few months.

“We face threats that could be existential to the United States, and we need a candidate who is going to be able to deal with and address and confront all of those challenges,” Cheney said. “That will all be part of my calculation as we go into the early months of 2024.”

Cheney served as vice chairwoman of the House Jan. 6 committee and was one of 10 House Republicans who joined all Democrats in voting to impeach Trump for a second time following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. She was ousted in the Wyoming primary last year by a Trump-backed challenger, now-Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY).

She has not ruled out voting for President Joe Biden if he is the 2024 Democratic nominee, telling CBS on Sunday that a Republican congressional majority with Trump in the White House would pose a threat to democracy.

Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has been on a string of media appearances, further fueling speculation about a presidential bid.

“I don’t even want to imagine a situation where he has won,” Cheney said on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show. “I think we have to do everything we can to stop him in terms of, again, the kind of things we have been working on, working in a nonpartisan fashion.”

Cheney emphasized Republicans, Democrats, and independents need to “work together” and “vote together” to “make clear that Donald Trump is not an acceptable alternative.”

“He is not the lesser of two evils,” Cheney said. “He is a completely unfit man for office. He’s already shown us what he would do, and he can never be near the Oval Office again.”

Professor fired for criticizing homosexuality responds to Christian College

Published

on

A college professor has filed a lawsuit against a Christian college after being fired over social media posts he made criticizing homosexuality.

Dr. Aaron Edwards was fired in March following statements he made online, ending his employment at Cliff College, located in England, that lasted for seven years. Edwards revealed Tuesday that he has enlisted the help of Christian Legal Centre to support his case against the school, according to Fox News Digital.

“I think many Christians have not been willing to say things that will offend people,” he said. “The British people especially find it hard to offend people in ways that other cultures don’t because they’re more willing to say, ‘This is what I believe, and you need to kind of get over it. And I’m free to say that.’ I think in Britain for many years, we’ve tolerated a kind of self-silencing.”

Edwards had claimed on Feb. 19 that homosexuality was “invading the Church” and that many Christians no longer saw “the severity” that such an invasion posed. The statement caused major pushback among LGBT activists, and Cliff College issued a statement calling Edwards’s post “unacceptable” and “inappropriate.”

The professor refused to delete his post, which ultimately led to his firing.

Edwards believes that more Christians will have to face similar situations that he underwent this year, warning that progressive ideology is “invading” both the church and society itself. However, he also said he is encouraged by others who have pushed back against progressive ideology within the church and hopes that the lawsuit against Cliff College will help raise awareness about free speech being at risk in the United Kingdom.
