Vinny Forlano: He won’t talk. Stone is a good kid. Stand-up guy, just like his old man. That’s the way I see it.
Vincent Borelli: I agree. He’s solid. A fuckin’ Marine.
Americo Capelli: He’s okay. He always was. Remo, what do you think?
Remo Gaggi: Look… why take a chance? At least, that’s the way I feel about it

Back in 2020 I asked this question concerning stealing the election rather than letting the election cycle (which would mean they would be free of Trump in just a year) take its course:
Why would the political bosses take the rather loud risk to steal this election and expose their operations to national scrutiny when history shows that by 2024 or 2028 they would have power back by without having to show their hand and risk the entire operation that has kept them in clover for decades?
I followed up with ten reasons why they might have decided to go all in. Of those ten reasons reasons 2 & 3 were the big ones.
- Investigations A 2nd Trump term meant that actual investigations of the tactics used against him would take place and moreover take place in an environment where rulings on these things are likely to be made by judges appointed by President Trump. Many of these are a direct threat to very comfortable and connected people
- The Potential Costs of Their Failed Attempt to Steal It Unlike election 2016 where Donald Trump came out of nowhere and a lot of the standard vote fraud machinery was not put in place (why risk federal crimes on what they thought would be a blowout election?) The machines in Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Detroit and Nevada where already in place and operating. They thought they had it in the bag when the turnout & vote totals for President Trump proved to be so high as to overcome the fraud they had already committed in the race. At best that meant that their efforts would be in vain and at worst it could mean actual investigation and legislation with teeth to break them.
This came to mind when I saw the following at Instapundit linking to Ed Morrissey at Hotair:
It’s going to get tougher to keep up this offense while Weiss is stipulating to the facts in Shapley’s testimony. The next step is to get Merrick Garland under oath in a House hearing and force him to testify as to what authority Weiss actually had, when Weiss applied for §515 status (if he ever did), and why Garland has lied about Weiss’ status to the public and to Congress for the last two years. It might take a grant of immunity to Garland aides to force the truth out of the Department of Justice for their attempt to bury the Biden influence-peddling scandal — and to see just how high up the deceit and corruption actually go.
Note: Readers might recall Garland’s response last week came in the same press conference in which he claimed that questioning an AG or the DoJ is the same thing as undermining democracy. Now we can glimpse a reason for Garland’s panicked hyperbole; the whistleblowers are exposing the truth about Garland’s corrupt administration of the DoJ.
And this is why, as I noted in yesterday’s post that I believe the odds of the left attempting to steal the election for POTUS this time around are much higher.
For the purposes of this argument let’s pretend for the next three paragraphs that Donald Trump is not a candidate for the GOP nomination, if that was so you could easily make the case that a potential President Scott, a President Haley, a President Pence or even a President DeSantis is unlikely to bother to litigate or even investigate election 2020.
But given these whistleblower revelations and the treatment parents at school board meetings or pro-life advocates by the FBI there is very little chance that a President Scott or a President Haley or a President Pence will ignore this Hunter Biden ignore this whistle blower stuff and in my opinion NO chance that a President DeSantis would do so.
And while Joe Biden is frankly of little threat to the Obama/China clique who actually runs this administration because of the simple fact that given his age and physical state his sudden physical decline and death would be plausible at any time when it might be considered by those who might be worried about him talking, this does not apply to Hunter Biden.
Now let’s remind ourselves that Donald Trump IS in the presidential race and leading in the polls for the nomination and continue this train of thought.
Any sane person knows you can’t count on a crackhead to avoid selling you out. If Hunter finds his head on the block thanks to the pursuit by an energetic special council appointed by a President DeSantis or a President Trump deciding to play hardball the whole Obama crew along with the folks who fixed the last election.
Yeah Hunter may understand that he’s likely to be “Epsteined” if he opened his, mouth but would any of that Obama crew or those feds who have been playing fast and loose with the law really take the chance that a pampered crackhead won’t sell them all to to save his own skin?
And even if they could slow the litigation to the point where they could if necessary arrange an “accident” or “suicide” do you really see a Trump or DeSantis AG in office sweeping it under the rug?
This stuff could bring the whole dirty lot down, it doesn’t matter how unlikely it might seem, the Obama/China team is going to look at this and say: “Why take a chance?”
And that more than anything else if their motive for a repeat of the 2020 steal and why any GOP candidate who isn’t taking steps to anticipate and counter it now should not be considered a viable candidate for the 2024 GOP nomination.
I’ll be doing a longer post addressing this but in short circumstances from the loss of our primary domain to our banning from Youtube has caused us to bleed traffic and subscribers to the point where I need to decide if our 15th anniversary coming up in November will be our last one.
