SWC: The Game All Along
Also The Pfizer Trial
Like many I’ve been of the view that the FBI Raid on Mar-a-Lago was—at least in major part—about recovering documents dealing with Deep State wrongdoing in the Russia Hoax. We certainly know enough already to understand that what happened was a coup, coordinated from outside (The Clinton Org) and inside the government (too many players to conveniently name).
On the other hand, more and more information is coming together, especially from the unredacted portions of the affidavit. What we’re seeing is how questionable the rationale was that was presented to the magistrate, and it tends to connect the big picture of the Russia Hoax to the big picture of Donald J. Trump. Earlier this morning I wrote in a comment:
… Trump is the first POTUS under PRA who isn't simply riding off into the sunset and may be intending to put those docs to real practical use. ...
Obviously, what I had in mind was the likelihood that Trump will, in fact, run again. Also, that those documents relating to the Russia Hoax could become a key feature of a second Trump campaign—this time, a sort of Crusade or Jihad. Who else noticed that Bluto Barr just pronounced that Ron DeSantis would be the next president? Go figure, right? What does he think he knows?
SWC summarizes the situation very concisely. He’s not excluding other factors that may feed into what looks—certainly from any reasonable legal standpoint—to be a desperate move, but he enunciates the biggest of big pictures. It was originally, Trump must go. Now it’s, OMG, Trump can’t be allowed back!
It’s a whole new ball game now that this case has moved past the joke magistrate. Don’t doubt that judges read the news, too. They’ve all had plenty of time to digest the two tier system of “justice” being deployed against hapless J6 participants. They’ve had time to digest the Congressional show trial, the over the top attacks on the Judiciary, and who’s making those attacks. They’ve had time to digest the very questionable legal maneuvers of this DoJ. They’ve also seen the public reaction to the Hunter laptop coverup by DoJ (80% of the public believe the electin outcome was changed by the coverup) and the public reaction to the MAL Raid. The courts that handle this case are unlikely—hey, IMO—to be rushed into submitting to DoJ’s unprecedented political search:
Jonathan Turley expands on my point about judges reading the news, and what that may bode—none of this is lost on them:
Such an appointment should have been done before the Justice Department reviewed the material. The Department sought a ridiculously broad search warrant and Magistrate Paul Reinhart simply signed off on the order without considering the wide array of privileged material that could be seized. It adopted language so broad that it was the legal version of Captain Jack Sparrow’s “Take what you can … Give nothing back.” It allowed the seizure of any box containing any document with any classification of any kind — and all boxes stored with that box. It also allowed the seizure of any writing from Trump’s presidency.
Speaking of judges reading the news …
There’s a False Claims Act case going on against Pfizer in TX, based on Pfizer’s fraudulent representations to FDA to get the Emergency Use Authorization for their injections—and to enrich themselves at the public’s expense. I picked up on this from Karl Denninger this morning. KD links to the response to Pfizer’s motion to dismiss. My point, as above, is that judges, just like the rest of us, now know that there was a serious monkey business going on with the whole Covid Regime. Judges know the Covid Regime was a scame that did almost incalculable harm. Plenty of time has passed, and there’s no reason to be rushed into giving Pfizer a pass. Here’s a brief excerpt (citations and footnotes removed, no technical details included) from the eloquent response to Pfizer, which gives some notion of the arrogance of these people:
INTRODUCTION
A national emergency birthed The False Claims Act [FCA], known as the “Lincoln Law,” after contractors used the exigent circumstances of the Civil War to defraud the people, at the expense of the suffering and death of American soldiers because defense contractors sold the Army lame horses and mules, faulty rifles and ammunition, and rancid rations and provisions. Once again, we face a national emergency, where our military entrusted another defense contractor, to the tune of billions of dollars and millions of American lives. The Defense Department incorporated Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) rules and regulations into its contract by conditioning the contract on FDA compliance and authorization. Respondents ignore this critical fact when trying to claim they contracted away the False Claims Act. Don’t the American people deserve to know if Pfizer lied?
Respondents seek dismissal without discovery, amendment, or trial. Their fundamental premise: even if honestly reported data showed their product caused more illness than it cured, inflicted more injury than it prevented, and took more lives than it saved, America’s military would still have given them billions of dollars and mandated it be injected into America’s military. Respondents claim fraudulent certifications, false statements, doctored data, contaminated clinical trials, and firing of whistleblowers can be ignored based on the theory that they contracted their way around the fraud. This ignores two legal aspects: first, fraud in the inducement is a well-recognized basis for False Claims Act qui tam actions; and second, the military wisely incorporated the FDA regulations into the contract as a precondition of any payment under the contract by conditioning payment upon FDA authorization of the product, an authorization itself dependent upon complete compliance with FDA rules and regulations governing such authorizations and approvals. In the end, the law does not belie common sense: a drug company cannot induce the taxpayers to pay billions of dollars for a product that honest data would show poses more risks than benefits to most Americans and that ignores the actual contract and the law itself. Put differently, the alleged fraud goes “to the very essence of the bargain.” ... The law compels denial of Respondents’ motions to dismiss.
ARGUMENT
...
This is neither about isolated instances of falsity nor whether each violation by itself could cause the FDA to refuse emergency use authorization. It is about the aggregate totality of violations, the pervasive fraudulent certifications, the routine falsification of data, and the utter, reckless disregard for even the most elemental and basic scientific standards for any clinical trial. As the evidence mounts of the undisclosed harm from this product, the logical inquiry is whether there were risks and dangers known to Pfizer at the time the vaccines were released. ... The False Claims Act imposes civil liability where a respondent knowingly presents to the government a “false or fraudulent claim” or “knowingly makes, uses, or causes to be made or used, a false record or statement material to a false or fraudulent claim.” ...
Whether Pfizer was truthful to the FDA is of the utmost importance in a national emergency. The House Report on the 1986 amendments recognized “... that a false claim may take many forms, the most common being a claim for goods or services not provided, or provided in violation of a contract term, a statute, or a regulation." In a national emergency, President Lincoln determined truth mattered, and it matters today.
SUMMARY OF ARGUMENT
From the Department of Justice: “Fraud in clinical trials poses significant risks to the American public. The FDA relies on the veracity of clinical trial data when making drug approval determinations, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that all FDA-approved drugs are safe and effective for their approved indications. Fabricated clinical trial data can have dangerous consequences if relied upon by the FDA, drug researchers and medical doctors when making material decisions about the safety, efficacy and clinical use of drug products.”
Respondents Pfizer, Ventavia, and Icon conducted deeply flawed clinical trials of Pfizer’s COVID-19 “vaccine,” regularly deviating from the clinical trial protocol Pfizer submitted to the FDA and altering trial data to give the appearance of legitimacy. Respondents’ goal was to collect billions of dollars from taxpayers of the United States - the only obstacle to overcome was receiving Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the FDA.
“The FCA is designed to protect the Government from fraud by imposing civil liability and penalties upon those who seek federal funds under false pretenses" such as those here. ... This “vaccine” is currently in the bodies of hundreds of millions of Americans who were repeatedly told that the testing was comprehensive and the end product was “safe and effective.” While information continues to be released showing the shots are neither safe nor effective, Americans are beginning to wonder what went wrong. The original promises were not fulfilled. Individuals who are fully vaccinated for COVID-19 are now shown to be at a higher risk of dying from COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals. In children, the Pfizer vaccine’s effectiveness plummets after mere weeks, and actually has a negative efficacy for young children just 8 weeks after receiving the second dose. Even former White House COVID response coordinator, Dr. Deborah Birx, recently admitted the vaccine’s failure, stating that she “knew these vaccines were not going to protect against infection.” Meanwhile, in record time, the COVID-19 vaccines have accumulated a higher number of reported deaths and adverse events greater than all cumulative adverse reports for any vaccine for the prior thirty years - an alarming statistic. Recent estimates suggest that the rate of injury for vaccinated individuals is 5.1%.
Information revealed in FDA documents obtained via FOIA request show warning signals in Pfizer’s early data following the administration of the vaccine that by any reasonable measure would have halted the vaccine rollout in its tracks. The concerns about the vaccine were suppressed, labeled as anti-vaccine rhetoric (as Respondents attempt to do here), and largely ignored. Yet, the grave predictions regarding the vaccine have largely come true: the “vaccine” is neither safe nor effective and the benefits don’t outweigh the risks. As Florida Governor Ron DeSantis aptly put it: “They lied to us about the mRNA shots.”
Respondents lied to the government and they lied to the American people. Relator Brook Jackson provided the starting point for uncovering how deep that lie goes, as discussed below and in the Amended Complaint.
In America the wheels of justice do grind slowly, there are gaps, but there is still hope.
Finally I see by the comments that some of you are coming round that just any politician will not do in the circumstances we find ourselves in. Yes, Barr is establishment, and so is everyone else involved. Orwell was mistaken in thinking in 1944 that forty years would bring the transformation. It seems to have taken another forty, and the ruling class feels so secure that little Joe is good enough for the role of 'Big Brother.' Only Trump still fights. And Trump is the only one they fear. And hate. Why the raid?
Sorry, but none of the arguments I have heard till now hold water. Apparently they can't keep Trump off the ballot, and the raid has improved his popularity enormously. Any documents he intends using are certainly in multiple copies in multiple locations. There is no way to explain or justify a nine hour raid by anything less than the imminent turnover something vital to a foreign power that had to be prevented at the last minute. Anybody even suggesting that? No, the real reason they did it is because they can. This is their 'hate'. Those in power are in power, and they want us to know it. Barr, Cheney McConnell etc. are all part of the Government. You vote them out and they get another role. Trump is an outsider. We are outsiders. We don't count.
Let us hope that while the wheels of Justice are slowly grinding, that the richly deserving duo of Birx and Fauci are snagged and turned into a very fine powder which will preclude them from ever showing their faces in public again! In a host of despicable characters that have risen to the surface over the last couple of years, these two certainly are standouts. Of course, Garland Merrick, Chris Wray and Adam Schiff certainly garner honorable, you’ll excuse the expression, mention.
