Newly released documents from the Department of Justice show that an improbable high number of investigators involved in the Robert Mueller investigation claimed to have "accidentally wiped" their phones of vital information.
The revelation was first caught by Sean Davis of The Federalist who posted screenshot from the 87-page document drop.
Andrew Weismann, a manager on the Mueller team, reported that two of his special counsel’s office phones were wiped, one by accident, and another by entering the wrong password too many times.
"Wiped phone due to attempting the incorrect password to [sic] many times, believed had less than 10 text messages, and 5 photos of non-investigative or informational significance," read one entry for assistant special counsel Greg Andres.
"Phone was accidentally wiped prior to records review," read an entry for Kyle Freeny, a former prosecutor on the Mueller team.
Davis counted at least 15 phones that had similar entries where information and data had been wiped clean before their review by the DOJ.
"The newly released DOJ records from the OIG investigation of corruption during the Mueller probe shows that a key tactic used by the Mueller team was to put the phones in airplane mode, lock them, and then claim they didn’t have the password," tweeted Davis.
Mueller was tasked with investigating the accusations of alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and the Russian government, and also into claims that the Russian government interfered with the 2016 election.
"What are the actual probabilities of more than a dozen top Mueller officials all ‘accidentally’ nuking their phones or accidentally putting them in airplane mode, locking them, and ‘forgetting’ their passwords so the DOJ OIG couldn’t access and examine them? Negative 100,000%?" asked Davis.

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is proposing a penalty on U.S. companies that would put the U.S. tax code into alignment with China’s predatory trade policies.
Biden, who made a push to be seen as defending U.S. interests on economic issues with a speech in Michigan on Wednesday, proposed a ten percent tax penalty that would apply to U.S. companies that move operations overseas.
The surtax appears to apply to services and goods sold to U.S. customers from a U.S. company’s foreign subsidiary.
Daniel Bunn of the Tax Foundation explained in an article on the proposal”
If a company based in the U.S. has a subsidiary in another country, and that foreign subsidiary sells its products or services to U.S. customers, the 10 percent surtax would apply. For a business facing Biden’s proposed 28 percent corporate tax rate, the additional surtax would result in a 30.8 percent tax rate.
That sounds like a tariff—but with an anti-U.S. twist. A regular trade tariff would apply to goods and services sold into the U.S. by anyone, whether they were a foreign or domestic manufacturer. Biden’s offshoring surtax, however, applies only to U.S. companies importing goods or services from their own affiliates.
This would seem to exempt Apple’s iPhone because it is manufactured by Taiwan’s Foxconn, a third-party contractor rather than a subsidiary of Apple.
The effect of the tax would be to penalize companies for doing their own manufacturing abroad—and reward those with arrangements with foreign manufacturers. The result would be that many U.S. manufacturers would avoid the tax by moving production to foreign contractors. Similarly, although the Biden campaign says the tax would apply to call centers and other services performed abroad for the U.S. market, many of these would simply migrate into outside contractors.
This would be a boon to China. The Trump administration has been pressuring China into dropping its requirement that U.S. businesses manufacturing products in China do so either through Chinese companies or with joint-ventures controlled by Chinese partners. Biden’s policy would cement this predatory trade preference into U.S. tax law. Instead of resisting joint ventures and contractor requirements, U.S. companies would seek them out to avoid the offshoring tax penalty.
In short, Biden is proposing to put U.S. tax policy into alignement with China’s trade policy.
That’s perverse. Even worse, Biden is trying to sell the plan as one that would bolster U.S. manufacturing and create U.S. jobs. In reality, it would only encourage complete offshoring and put an end to U.S. business resistance to China’s predatory trade policies.
The Biden campaign did not respond to inquiries about the tax proposal.

Hordes of streaming viewers are calling to "cancel" Netflix after the company recently debuted the film, "Cuties," insisting that the project — which tells a story of a young "sensual dance" troupe — is nothing more than pedophilia.
Clips of the film have begun circulating on social media, showing varying degrees of apparent, inappropriate sexualization of young girls.
In August, the streaming giant came under fire after a trailer and poster for the award-winning French film sexualized the young girls acting in the project.
In a statement, Netflix issued an apology, saying, "We’re deeply sorry for the inappropriate artwork that we used for Mignonnes/Cuties. It was not OK, nor was it representative of this French film which won an award at Sundance. We’ve now updated the pictures and description."
So far, nearly 600,000 people have signed a Change.org petition titled, "Cancel Netflix Subscription."
The film has also prompted hashtag #CancelNetflix to trend on social media.
Earlier Thursday, IMDB’s film page for "Cuties" described a moment in the film as "lawfully defined as pedophilia."
One of the parental warnings on the film read, "During one of the many highly sexualized & erotic dance scenes that purposefully exploit & objectify numerous scantily clad under age [sic] girls, one of the female child dancers lifts up her cropped top to fully display her bare breast. This is lawfully defined as pedophilia and can be extremely distressing to many viewers."
Further, another warning noted, "An 11 year old [sic] girl watches a female rap music video where naked women role play through dance, both heterosexual & lesbian sex acts. An 11 year old [sic] female dance group then mimics these sexual moves on themselves and on each other while the camera zooms in on their sexual body parts as they erotically writher [sic]. This can be highly distressing to many viewers."
"Female breast nudity of a minor during an erotic dance scene and lengthy & excessive closeup shots of breasts, bums, and spread crotches of scantily clad 11 year old [sic] girls during numerous sexualized dance routines," another warning added.
Internet archive website Wayback Machine captured the following shot of the IMDB page at 1 p.m. EST on Thursday:

Less than an hour later, the page appeared significantly different, and warned only that the movie "consists of 11 year old [sic] girls dancing very suggestively."
It also adds, "A girl watches a female rap music video where naked women role play through dance."
At the time of this writing, the IMDB page is significantly different:
Image source: IMDB screenshot
Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes currently ranks the film as 90% fresh.
The site declares that the film takes a "thoughtful look at the intricacies of girlhood in the modern age," and is a "coming-of-age film that confronts its themes with poignancy and nuance."
Decider’s John Serba wrote, "Cuties is nuanced and gripping, a powerful and meritorious drama that doesn’t deserve the type of ignorant condemnation it’s endured."
Monica Castillo at RogerEbert.com added, "With Cuties, Doucouré announces herself as a director with a keen visual style who’s unafraid to explore these cultural and social tensions."

Facebook vowed to crack down on political violence and election interference, but the result is far less than advertised. The platform allows Antifa organizations to organize and share content in apparent conflict with Facebook’s official policies.
Facebook had removed two left-wing extremist news sources — It’s Going Down and CrimethInc. That was part of the platform’s new “Dangerous Individuals and Organizations” policy to crack down on groups the platform said are “tied to violence.” However, Facebook has refused to take action against two other controversial leftist pages — Rose City Antifa and Adbusters.
Rose City Antifa’s alleged reputation for political violence has been reported on by Politico, The Washington Times, and The Washington Post. The Post featured a photo captioned: “Unidentified Rose City Antifa members beat up Andy Ngo, an independent journalist.”
Canadian leftist organization Adbusters, which helped start the Occupy protests, is attempting to meddle in the U.S. election by organizing a “siege” of the White House.
Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg explained his concerns about upcoming civil unrest in an early September interview with Axios where he expressed: "I think we need to be doing everything that we can to reduce the chances of violence or civil unrest in the wake of this election." Despite being contacted and presented with an extensive report on alleged violence from Rose City Antifa, Facebook has thus far refused to take action.
Zuckerberg then went on to profess: "We’re trying to make sure that we do our part to make sure that none of this is organized on Facebook.”
Antifa violence has made headlines for months because of ongoing political unrest and rioting in places like Portland and Seattle. “A statement from the [U.S.] Marshals Service confirmed that [Michael] Reinoehl was wanted as a prime suspect in the killing of 39-year-old Aaron ‘Jay’ Danielson, who was shot in the chest Saturday night,” CBS News reported. Reinoehl had described himself in a social media post as “100% ANTIFA,” and then reportedly engaged in an altercation with police to the point where he himself was killed.
Antifa organizations are known for violence. News reports about Rose City Antifa help make it one of the most public examples because of its social media presence. There is no indication Reinoehl had any connection to Rose City Antifa, however.
Federalist co-founder Sean Davis suggested that Facebook’s response to Antifa has been bewildering in that: “A man wearing a Patriot Prayer hat was murdered in Portland by a criminal who said he was ‘100% Antifa’ and instead of banning Antifa pages, Facebook banned Patriot Prayer.” New York Times reporter Davey Alba quoted a Facebook spokesperson who reportedly explained, “[Patriot Prayer was] removed as part of our ongoing efforts to remove Violent Social Militias from our platform.”
MRC TechWatch sent an extensive report to Facebook about the activities of Rose City Antifa, whose alleged political violence has been discussed by Politico,The Washington Times, and The Post. This record of alleged violence was then juxtaposed with Facebook’s own Community Standards.
Facebook didn’t respond. However, Patriot Prayer founder Joey Gibson said that the ban of his group “is the result of a media company reaching out to Facebook and claiming that they are violating the platform’s ‘dangerous groups’ policy,” the Gateway Pundit summarized.
Rose City Antifa posted praise after journalist Andy Ngo claimed he was beaten on June 29, 2019, Ngo claiming to have suffered a brain injury from the event. “[M]ilkshakes” were reportedly loaded with quick-drying cement and used at some of the Portland demonstrations. Rose City Antifa posted a comment about milkshakes as well: “When the Alt Right hands us lemons, we make delicious milkshakes! The J29 demo was an amazing success which is really very upsetting for the dwindling crew of fascists who come to our city in hopes of bullying vulnerable people.” The post went on in an attempt to gaslight that Ngo was somehow weaponizing “victimhood” and exaggerating the extent of violence.
Some news organizations have called out Rose City Antifa’s alleged violence. The Post featured a Getty Images photo with a caption that stated, “Unidentified Rose City Antifa members beat up Andy Ngo, an independent journalist, on June 29 in Portland, Ore.” Politico reported the following Rose City Antifa statement: “‘We are unapologetic about the reality that fighting fascism at points requires physical militancy.’” Politico commented that “The group does not specify what physical militancy means, but their page makes clear that the definition includes ‘any means necessary.’”
The Washington Times reported that “Project Veritas, known for its hidden-camera investigations, released in June undercover footage of a Rose City Antifa training session in Portland that included tips on weapons and tactics, including eye-gouging.”
Rose City Antifa’s pinned post on its Facebook page cautioned its followers not to plan to engage in specifically criminal behavior while on its page. It did not discourage such actions, merely the appearance on its page:
“DO NOT discuss criminal activity or make any action plans on our Facebook wall. You should never make plans with a stranger on Facebook to do this work. Even trying to sort out ride shares, or similar is very unsafe on here. Undoubtedly enemies will fish around with posts of that nature so be wary.”
Rose City Antifa has openly discussed the use of doxxing against political enemies on its Facebook page, i.e. exposing their personal information so they can be targeted. In one post the group declared in “a note on doxxing” that it has “very rigorous standards about the information we publish,” stating that: “We encourage others to think carefully about the damage that could be caused by inaccurate doxxes and be diligent about what they are putting out there.” Salon reported that “Rose City Antifa has unveiled a series of articles doxing each local member of the Proud Boys and calling for supporters to put pressure on their employers to fire them.” While we do not defend the actions of the Proud Boys, this is clear proof that Rose City Antifa has weaponized the exposure of personal information of its apparent enemies.
Facebook’s Community Standards specifically state in its “Violence and Incitement” “Do not post” section that users should not post “Any content containing statements of intent, calls for action, or advocating for high or mid-severity violence due to voting, voter registration, or the outcome of an election.” [Emphasis added.] It should be noted that Antifa activists specifically ran rampant in response to the 2016 election on the day of President Donald Trump’s inauguration in 2017. Mr. Zuckerberg’s concern about the 2020 election’s aftermath indeed is relevant here.
Facebook also specifically promised that it would crack down on “foreign interference.” The social media giant explained in a company blog that it has shut down entire networks that “targeted the US, North Africa and Latin America.” Yet, even so, when Facebook has been directly reached for comment regarding attempts by Adbusters to meddle in the American presidential election by organizing a "siege" of the White House, the platform has refused to take action. Adbusters has called for this “siege” to occur this September 17. It stated in a post: “Is it a beautiful jam? A civic exorcism? A spectacular sayonara party for Dear Donald? All of the above, absolutely — but let us not ignore the dark forces also at work.”
Adbusters has made a powerful political impact in far-left activism and American politics. NPR summarized that in 2011 it had “proposed a Sept. 17 ‘occupation’ of Wall Street, and the idea caught fire.” That evolved into Occupy Wall Street, a precursor to the current unrest. Nine years of Big Tech and social media advancement later, it would have more power to organize civil unrest than before, and Facebook leadership appears to have no problem with that.
Conservatism is under attack. Contact Facebook headquarters at 1-650-308-7300 and demand that Big Tech hold the left accountable for their own policies. If you have noticed bias at Facebook, contact us at the Media Research Center contact form, and help us hold Big Tech accountable.

After issuing its prestigious peace prize to a series of assorted clowns and faceless bureaucrats, has the Nobel peace committee decided to try to make its peace prize worth something again? Something connected to actual peacemaking?
Sure looks like it, given that one of them, a member of Norway’s parliament has nominated President Trump for the prestigious prize.
According to the New York Post:
President Trump has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for helping broker a peace deal between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, according to a report.
Christian Tybring-Gjedde, a member of the Norwegian Parliament and chairman to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, submitted the nomination, Fox News reported.
“For his merit, I think he has done more trying to create peace between nations than most other Peace Prize nominees,” Tybring-Gjedde, told Fox News.
The Norwegian noted that Trump played a key role in this development, the biggest platform for peace since Israel’s entente with Egypt several decades ago, and what’s more, other Arab states would likely follow suit. And in fact, quite a few are. And the troublemakers among them, such as the Palestinian ‘state’ are walking back their opposition to the accord, with peace breaking out all over.
On merit alone, by any objective standard, Trump’s act is a massive contribution to peace.
And it’s not just the Israel-UAE peacemaking, either.
Fact is, the Trump umbrella of peace is multiplicative – Trump’s rubout of Qasem Soleimani, Iran’s chief terrorist has led to global terrorism waning. Trump’s peace-brokering between longtime enemies Kosovo and Serbia snuffed out another smouldering ember of war in Europe. Trump’s risky move to engage North Korea’s psychopathic dictator one-on-one, breaking all foreign policy conventional wisdom — created even more peace or at least bought time for something steadier, too — the freak, after all, had been hurling rockets at Los Angeles before that. And for keeping the U.S out of all wars and bringing troops home during his term, Trump deserves credit there, too.
Yes, that’s a heady record of peacemaking, and the Nobel committee couldn’t ignore it if it cared about its credibility.
They may refuse to give him the prize on the grounds that they hate him (all Eurotrash hates Trump) and hand it instead to some nonentity, but if so, they’ll lose credibility, given the obvious objective merit of the Trump nomination. Eyes are on them now, and eyebrows will be raised if peace of President Trump’s contribution somehow doesn’t make the cut.
They seem to be moving in this direction, of insisting on some actual peacemaking of its peacemakers. Last year, they awarded the prize to an Ethiopian leader who created peace over the more symbolic greenie activist Greta Thunberg. If they go with Trump in 2020, the award would follow the same pattern. Which is a far cry from the awful characters who’ve gotten it in recent years, such as charlatan Al Gore, fraudster Rigoberta Menchu, former Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos (who ignored a popular referendum to sell his country down the river to FARC’s Marxist terrorists in a Cuba-brokered accord), Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, who joined the Burmese tinpot generals oppressing ethnic minorities when she was allowed into power, and an assortment of favored globalist bureaucracies. Worst of all was their awarding of their famed prize to President Obama on the grounds that ‘maybe he will create peace’ in 2009, before Obama even had a chance to do anything. That foolish wishful thinking was followed by considerable instability around the world, including increased U.S. military engagement, and multiplying wars from Libya to North Korea to the South China Sea. Oh and Iran got itself a license to make a nuclear bomb on that watch.
That was some prize.
Now that they’ve recognized reality, and put Trump’s name forward, a marker has been set. If they don’t give Trump the prize now, their credibility will be nil. Yet we know they know there’s an election on and they want Joe Biden president. What will it be, objective facts on the ground for peace, or their own political wishful thinking. If Trump doesn’t get the prize at this point, we can chalk it up to his preternatural ability to rat out leftists for the frauds that they are.
If they do give it, peace will mean something again. What a dilemma for them.

There are walls and there are walls …
The official residence of Democrat Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer in Lansing will soon have an eight-foot high, electrified fence surrounding it; the fence and ancillary security upgrades will reportedly cost $1.1 million.
The Washington Free Beacon pointed out:
Whitmer, a Biden surrogate, has attacked the idea of using barriers to prevent illegal immigration. She called President Donald Trump’s border wall “costly and ineffective” in February 2017, nearly a week after suggesting that money for the wall would be better spent elsewhere. “$40 BILLION for the wall,” Whitmer tweeted. “Think how many kids that would educate, how many roads, bridges and pipes it would fix.” Whitmer also campaigned against Trump’s wall in 2018, saying, “it is time we get back to building bridges, not walls.”
The Detroit News reported that Whitmer spokeswoman Tiffany Brown said, “Routine maintenance and upgrades are performed as needed to ensure the safety, security and protection of any sitting governor and the first family.” She added that the added security would be paid for with funds from the executive office budget.
The renovations at the governor’s residence were recommended by the Michigan State Police and the state Department of Technology, according to Brown. Shanon Banner, spokeswoman for the Michigan State Police stated, “As a matter of practice, we’re constantly reviewing security protocols and adjusting as needed. We don’t comment on specific threats against the governor nor do we provide information about security measures.”
The Detroit News added:
In May, a Detroit man was charged with a felony after allegedly making “credible threats to kill” Whitmer and Attorney General Dana Nessel. During a May 26 press conference, Whitmer said there had been an “explosion of rampant rumors and violent death threats against my family and me online.”
In mid-August, it was reported that a security fence budgeted for $400,000 would be built around the official residence of South Dakota’s governor Kristi Noem; her spokeswoman, Maggie Seidel, said some of the costs would be offset by private fundraising.
In May, Whitmer admitted that her husband, Marc Mallory, asked a boating company for special treatment because he was married to her. That came after Whitmer’s office called the allegation a “rumor” and suggested that it could be “misinformation.”
The Daily Wire explained:
The controversy surrounded a report that her husband called a boating company and asked them to put their boat on the water before Memorial Day weekend and, when told it wouldn’t be done by then, asked for special treatment because he was “the husband to the governor.” Adding to the controversy was the fact that Whitmer urgedpeople to not go to that area if they did not live there, and while she and her husband own a second home there, it’s an approximately 200-mile drive from their main residence, the governor’s mansion, in Lansing. She later claimed that he drove across the state to rake leaves at the second home and then came home.
Whitmer addressed the controversy during a press conference saying, “I do feel compelled to address the most recent one about my husband Marc. My husband made a failed attempt at humor last week when checking in with a small business that helps with our boat and dock up north.”
“Knowing it wouldn’t make a difference, he jokingly asked if being married to me might move him up in the cue,” Whitmer continued. “Obviously, with the motorized boating prohibition in our early days of COVID-19, he thought it might get a laugh. It didn’t and to be honest I wasn’t laughing either when it was relayed to me because I knew how it would be perceived. He regrets it, I wish it wouldn’t have happened and that’s really all we have to say about it.”

Sweden Close To Victory Over Coronavirus; Never Had A Lockdown Or Mask Mandate
Tyler Durden
Wed, 09/09/2020 – 05:00
Authored by Steve Watson via Summit News,
As the rest of Europe and the world remains under the grip of draconian rules and the threat of new lockdowns, Sweden, which allowed its citizens to remain free throughout the entire pandemic, has pretty much declared victory over the coronavirus.
The country now has one of the lowest infection rates on the planet, and it’s difficult not to admire how it has handled the past year, with no strict lockdown or compulsory face mask rules. All businesses, schools and public places remained open in Sweden for the duration.
“Sweden has gone from being the country with the most infections in Europe to the safest one,” Sweden’s senior epidemiologist Dr. Anders Tegnell commented to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.
“What we see now is that the sustainable policy might be slower in getting results, but it will get results eventually,” Tegnell clarified.
“And then we also hope that the result will be more stable,” he added.
Tegnell previously warned that encouraging people to wear face masks is “very dangerous” because it gives a false sense of security but does not effectively stem the spread of the virus.
“The findings that have been produced through face masks are astonishingly weak, even though so many people around the world wear them,” Tengell has urged.
Last week, the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control confirmed Sweden’s drop in infection rate, with only 12 cases per million, compared to 18 in neighbouring Denmark and 14 in nearby Norway.
Graphic: The Sun
At the peak of the Sweden’s outbreak, it was seeing 108 new infections per million people, as it pursued a “herd immunity” strategy.
The figures also show that out of 2500 randomly selected and tested people in Sweden, none tested positive, compared to 0.9 percent positive in April, and 0.3 percent in May.
“We interpret this as meaning there is not currently a widespread infection among people who do not have symptoms,” said Karin Tegmark, deputy head of the Public Health Agency of Sweden.
When compared to the rest of Europe, Sweden’s death rate sits somewhere in the middle. However, officials are confident that playing the long game will see this improve drastically.
