Republican Lawmaker Launches Bill to Hold China Accountable For Blocking Alien Deportation By Hannah Ng and Steve Lance September 2, 2022 Updated: September 2, 2022 Congressman Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.) is pushing for a bill that would ban new visas for nationals in countries such as China that block deportations from the United States. The bill, H.R. 8714, named the “Alien Criminal Expulsion Act” or “ACE Act,” would temporarily halt the issuance of immigrant and non-immigrant visas in “recalcitrant” countries. The bill was introduced on Aug. 25. The ACE Act, according to its author, is a response to China’s retaliation against the United States for Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan. However, it targets not just China, but “other countries that want to treat America as their dumping ground for criminal aliens. We will no longer accept visas from their countries under the ACE act,” Tiffany said. He talked about the new bill in an Aug. 30 interview with “Capitol Report” on NTD, The Epoch Times’ sister media. Following Pelosi’s trip last month, the Chinese regime announced it would suspend or terminate cooperation with the United States in eight areas, including repatriation of illegal immigrants. China’s actions mean that it is “no longer going to accept criminal aliens from China, who are in the United States … back into China,” the congressman explained. Tiffany said in a statement when introducing the bill, “It makes no sense to continue granting visas to citizens of Communist China, knowing that we may never be able to remove them should they overstay or commit crimes in our communities.” The lawmaker cited an existing provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act known as Section 243(d), which stipulates that the Secretary of State “shall order consular officers … to discontinue granting immigrant visas or nonimmigrant visas” in any country that “denies or unreasonably delays accepting an alien who is a citizen, subject, national, or resident of that country.” Based on that provision, Tiffany stressed that “President Joe Biden already has the authority to return those people and to stop any issuance of visas from China as a result of China’s actions.” The act, in his opinion, would push the Biden administration to “enforce the law that’s already on the books.” The ACE Act signals Congress’ consistent support for Taiwan as well. Tiffany said he hopes the bill will get bipartisan support. If the current administration shows weakness in holding the regime accountable, Congress still needs to go ahead, he added. “I believe it’s our duty to follow through, just as Congress has always been there to defend Taiwan since 1979, when Jimmy Carter made the terrible decision to not recognize Taiwan as a country.” “America needs to stand strong, and we will prevail in the end. But America has to be strong,” the congressman said. Hannah Ng Reporter Follow Hannah Ng is a reporter covering U.S. and China news.

Miranda Devine Opinion exclusive FBI agent Timothy Thibault hid intel from whistleblower on Hunter and the ‘Big Guy’ Joe Biden By Miranda Devine September 4, 2022 11:08pm Updated FBI director must do ‘much more’ to combat agency bias: Sen. Grassley More From: Miranda Devine Tyrannical old Joe's secret police state FBI put the Hunter Biden story right in Facebook's lap Warning signs for the GOP abound The left's mask slips on brazen Trump bias Liberals' FBI trust is a real gut buster Timothy Thibault, the FBI agent alleged to have interfered with an investigation into Hunter Biden, was assigned by the Washington Field Office as “point man” to manage whistleblower Tony Bobulinski, the first son’s former business partner, before the 2020 election — but he suppressed his damning revelations, sources say. Bobulinski spent over five hours secretly being interviewed by the FBI on Oct. 23, 2020, about his inside knowledge of then-presidential candidate Joe Biden’s involvement in his son’s business deals with China. The previous day, he had revealed in a press conference that Joe Biden was the “Big Guy” due to get a 10% cut of a lucrative joint venture with Chinese energy firm CEFC, according to an email found on Hunter’s abandoned laptop. Bobulinski gave the FBI the contents of three cellphones containing encrypted messages between Hunter and his business partners, along with emails and financial documents detailing the Biden family’s corrupt influence-peddling operation in foreign countries during Joe’s vice presidency. But his evidence appears to have fallen into the same black hole at the FBI as Hunter’s laptop, never to be seen again. The tale he told Tony Bobulinski, a former business associate of Hunter Biden, speaks to journalists in 2020. Tom Brenner/REUTERS Bobulinski’s FBI interview came the week after The Post published material from the laptop, including the “Big Guy” message and an email from a Ukrainian energy company executive thanking Hunter for organizing a 2015 meeting in Washington with then-VP Biden. see also Hunter’s ex-partner Tony Bobulinski: Joe Biden’s a liar and here’s the proof On the day Bobulinski went to the FBI’s Washington Field Office, 11 days before the 2020 presidential election, he was told not to walk in the front door, but to drive into an underground parking garage at the back of the nondescript, eight-story building in northwest DC, one mile from FBI headquarters. He was met by James Dawson, then-special agent in charge of the Criminal and Cyber Division, and FBI Supervisory Special Agent Giulio Arseni. They turned him over to two younger agents, William Novak and Garrett Churchill, who conducted the videotaped interview and provided a receipt for Bobulinski’s digital data. He told them about the work Hunter, his uncle Jim Biden, and partners James Gilliar and Rob Walker did during Joe’s vice presidency, in 2015 and 2016, using the Biden name to help CEFC expand into Oman, Romania, Georgia, Kazakhstan and beyond. He told them about Hunter’s lucrative personal relationship with CEFC chairman Ye Jianming at the time the company was brokering China’s $9 billion acquisition of the Russian state oil giant Rosneft. Ye was arrested in China in 2018 after the deal fell apart. CEFC was the capitalist arm of China’s Belt and Road initiative to extend the Communist regime’s influence around the globe. Bobulinski also told the FBI about Hunter’s associations with oligarch Mykola Zlochevsky, owner of corrupt Ukrainian energy company Burisma, with Romanian billionaire Gabriel Popoviciu, and with retired FBI Director Louis Freeh, who was brought in by Hunter as a consultant to help Popoviciu escape corruption charges in Romania. New York Post cover for Wednesday, October 28, 2020. Novak and Churchill paused the interview to consult with Dawson a number of times, according to one insider. Arseni came into the room occasionally and an FBI forensic team visited. see also Top FBI agent resigns amid claims he shielded Hunter Biden from probe: report Bobulinski and his lawyer were given Thibault’s cellphone number and told that he would be their “point man” at the FBI thereafter. That night, Bobulinski’s lawyer phoned Thibault, who said he would soon advise on next steps and whether Bobulinski should do a follow-up interview. But neither Bobulinski nor his lawyer was contacted again. Nor was Bobulinski brought before a Delaware grand jury investigating Hunter. Dawson moved to the field office in Little Rock, Ark., last July. Thibault retired from the FBI last week, amid an investigation by the Office of Special Counsel into his anti-Trump social media posts, and after Republican senators made public allegations that he buried Hunter Biden material that would have damaged Joe’s candidacy. ‘Improperly discredited’ Whistleblowers alleged to Sen. Chuck Grassley that, in the same month as Bobulinski’s FBI interview, then-Assistant Special Agent in Charge Thibault ordered that an investigation into Hunter Biden’s alleged “criminal financial and related activity” be closed. “In October 2020, an avenue of additional derogatory Hunter Biden reporting was ordered closed at the direction of ASAC Thibault,” Grassley wrote six weeks ago in a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland. “It’s been alleged that the FBI HQ team suggested to the FBI agents that the information was at risk of disinformation; however, according to allegations, [it] was either verified or verifiable via criminal search warrants … Thibault allegedly ordered the matter closed without providing a valid reason, as required by FBI guidelines [and] it’s alleged that FBI officials, including ASAC Thibault, subsequently attempted to improperly mark the matter in FBI systems so that it could not be opened in the future.” President Joe Biden with his son Hunter Biden waves as they leave Holy Spirit Catholic Church. Manuel Balce Ceneta/AP Timothy Thibault recently retired. FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION Grassley also alleged that FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst Brian Auten had opened an assessment in August 2020, which was used by an FBI headquarters team to “improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation and caused investigative activity to cease … Verified and verifiable derogatory information on Hunter Biden was falsely labeled as disinformation.” Thibault denied Grassley’s allegations last week. A statement from his pro-bono lawyer said he “did not supervise the investigation of Hunter Biden which … is being handled by the Baltimore Field Office. “In particular, Mr. Thibault was not involved in any decisions related to any laptop that may be at issue in that investigation and he did not seek to close the investigation.” But Thibault’s statement omits any explanation of what he did with Bobulinski’s information. Did he give it to the FBI’s Baltimore field office, which was assisting Delaware US Attorney David Weiss’ four-year probe of Hunter for alleged tax evasion, money laundering and foreign agent violations? If he did, then why has Bobulinski never testified before the grand jury convened by Weiss last year? Other business partners of Hunter testified and at least one was asked the identity of “the Big Guy,” according to a source. A credible source President Biden with his son Hunter Biden waves as they leave Holy Spirit Catholic Church. Manuel Balce Ceneta/AP It seems inexplicable that Bobulinski — who met twice with Joe Biden in 2017 over the CEFC deal, and provided information that corroborates damning material on Hunter’s laptop — is not a star witness, especially since the FBI has been in possession of the laptop since December 2019, and knows it is authentic. It is not as if Bobulinski is not highly credible. He is a decorated former US Navy officer with top secret security clearances from the National Security Agency and the Department of Energy. A successful businessman, he has donated to both sides of the political aisle. In the interests of national security, it was the FBI’s duty to investigate credible evidence suggesting the future president may have been compromised by China via millions of dollars paid to his family.
...and incompetent too, lol Doocy Calls Out KJP Hypocrisy On Stolen Elections, ‘You Tweeted In 2016 That Trump Stole An Election’ by Kelen McBreen White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was exposed on Tuesday as a total hypocrite by Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy. After the administration adopted a divisive platform last week calling Trump supporters who question the 2020 election results a “threat to democracy,” Doocy decided to turn the tables back on the White House. “If we’re all in agreement that it is incorrect to say the 2020 election was stolen, what about the 2016 election?” he asked. “I’m not going to go back to where we were or what happened in 2016,” she answered. “We’re going to focus on the here and now. We’re going to focus on what’s happening today, this inflection point the president pointed out very clearly, very decisively in a few speeches about what the country needs to do at this time to bring the country together and he believes that’s where a majority of Americans are when it comes to protecting our democracy, when it comes to protecting our rights and when it comes to protecting our freedoms.” Following up on his previous question, Doocy asked KJP, “You tweeted in 2016 that Trump stole an election.” “I knew this was coming,” the press secretary blurted out, interrupting the Fox correspondent. Getting back to his point, Doocy said, “Well, great! Here we go. You tweeted, ‘Trump stole an election.’ You tweeted, ‘Brian Kemp stole an election.'” “If denying election results is extreme now, why wasn’t it then?” he asked. Clearly frustrated at her hypocrisy being made public, KJP told Doocy, “So, let’s be really clear. That comparison you made is just ridiculous… I was talking specifically at that time of what was happening with voting rights and what was in danger of voting rights. That’s what I was speaking to at the time.” KJP’s tweet claiming Trump stole the election is still up on her wall. Four years later, the future White House press secretary still doubted America’s election integrity, tweeting in 2020 that “Brian Kemp stole the gubernatorial election from Georgians and Stacey Abrams.” KJP also alleged she’s admitted Governor Kemp won the 2020 Georgia election and Trump won the 2016 election despite her tweets saying otherwise remaining on her Twitter wall. Continuing, the Biden press secretary shifted the blame and claimed Trump “incited” a mob on January 6th which allegedly shows his supporters are a threat to democracy. During another part of the press conference, KJP tried to backtrack Biden’s divisive rhetoric by claiming he only said pro-Trump “office holders” and “elected officials” are a threat to democracy, not Trump supporters. Of course, this is a lie and Biden never clarified he only meant “MAGA Republicans” in office are a danger to America’s freedoms. The internet responded harshly to Jean-Pierre’s poor answer to the question she “knew” was eventually going to be asked. Lying "loving liberal" democrat hypocrites, lol. They run your nation. Likee? Think the republicans are any better? Why? This whole shit show is wayyyyyyyyy below what honest elections top to bottom from Dogcatcher to Prez would realistically bear for the american people. Campaign finance laws, lobbying abuse, lack of transparency and paper trail for each and every precinct report, blatant media bias, all contribute to the likes of poopy and karn st peter and kamela and my girl nancy pelosi and stinky nadler, and steaming pile of schumer, and turtle mcconnell, and hunter, and ukraine laundry, and trillions and trillions, and fill in the blank...
