JOE BIDEN IS PREPARED TO GO TO THE WHITE HOUSE OR PRISON, HE TELLS THESE REPORTERS.
IN AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW, MUST CREDIT BULLY BOY PRESS & CEDRIC'S BIG MIX, SLEEPY JOE WOKE FROM HIS LONG SLUMBER TO EXPLAIN IT WAS STRAIGHT TO THE WHITE HOUSE . . . OR PRISON.
THESE REPORTERS ASKED JOE HIDIN' BIDEN ABOUT THIS REPORT:
Former Vice President Joe Biden appears to have “personally raised the idea” of investigating Michael Flynn for potentially having violated the obscure Logan Act during his phone calls with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, according to newly filed court papers Wednesday.
The previously sealed document also says that former President Barack Obama told top members of his administration that “the right people” should investigate Flynn.
But then-FBI Director James Comey acknowledged during the meeting — which also involved Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates and possibly national security adviser Susan Rice — that Flynn’s conversations with Kislyak “appear legit,” according to the Washington, DC, federal court filing by Flynn’s defense lawyers.
"SEE, BOYS," JOE EXPLAINED, "I WASN'T JUST CUTTING RIBBONS AT SUPER MARKET OPENINGS FOR 8 YEARS. I WASN'T. I WAS PART OF THE DRAMA, PART OF THE ACTION. IF IT WEREN'T FOR ME, WHO WOULD'VE COME UP WITH THE LOGAN ACT? IF IT WEREN'T FOR ME, WOULD THE COUNTRY HAVE WASTED NEARLY 4 YEARS ON FALSE CHARGES ABOUT RUSSIA? I AM A DOER. I AM A DIDER. I AM A DIDDLING. AND NOW IT'S ON TO THE WHITE HOUSE! OR MAYBE PRISON. BUT I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, JOE BIDEN IS GOING PLACES. AND YOU CAN TELL AMERICA JOE BIDEN SAID SO!"

Yes, another problem the prime minister of Iraq should be addressing. Turkey is in violation of international law and Iraq's sovereignty by bombing Iraq and by sending ground soldiers into Iraq. Seth J. Frantzman (JERUSALEM POST) reports:
There are growing concerns about Turkey’s military operations in northern Iraq, two weeks after Ankara began bombing areas of the country claiming it was “fighting terrorists.”Turkey began operation “Claw-Tiger” on June 17 and it seems to come in the context of Turkey launching new military attacks every month in different countries to distract from failures at home by Ankara’s leading party.
Turkey has had almost a year of near-constant new conflicts and militarist saber-rattling.Last spring and summer it threatened to invade eastern Syria, threatening US troops and the Trump administration in the process. The US tried to appease Turkey by having its anti-ISIS partners on the ground remove obstacles to Turkey’s invasion. It wasn’t enough, in October Turkey told Washington it would begin bombing the region and US troops must move.
That alone was already disturbing. But now Orhan Coskun (REUTERS) is reporting:
Turkey plans to set up more temporary military bases in northern Iraq after stepping up its strikes against Kurdish militants there, a senior Turkish official told Reuters, saying the effort would ensure border security.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) said on Wednesday that Turkish and Iranian military interventions violated Iraqi sovereignty. The UAE and Turkey in opposition on several fronts, including in Libya where they back rival sides.
The spokesperson for the Iraqi military laughably declared weeks ago that ISIS was vanquished. That's never happened. ISIS remains active in Iraq and continues to carry out attacks. It's an issue the prime minister needs to seriously address. THE NEW DELHI TIMES notes:
The resurgence of the Islamic State can be attributed to a weakened Iraqi government along with an administrative and security vacuum in the country.
The Islamic State (IS) has carried out a series of attacks in recent times which has led security studies analysts to take note of the resurgence of the terrorist and extremist groups in Iraq. According to a May 2020 report by the Combating Terrorism Centre (CTC), there has been a surge in attack activities in the second half of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020.
The number of reported Islamic State attacks increased from 1,470 in 2018 to 1,669 in 2019, with 566 reported attacks in the first quarter of 2020 alone. As per the CTC report, the number of areas with active attack cells seems to nearly double, from an assessed 27 areas in December 2018 to an assessed 47 areas in May 2020. The IS attacks have taken place in the provinces of Anbar, Baghdad, Diyala, Kirkuk, Ninewa and Salah al-Din. The IS has also plenty of fighters at its disposal.

In May 2020, assessments from the U.S. Central Command, the Defence Intelligence Agency and the U.S.-led coalition, shared in a report by the Defense Department Inspector General, claimed that the IS as a group was still operating mostly on the margins, both in Iraq and Syria and the terror group lacks the capabilities to sustain that pace over several months. However, many security experts contend that the U.S.-led coalition is unable to see key changes on the ground.
The most recent U.S. estimates put the terror group’s force strength in Iraq and Syria at anywhere from 14,000 to 18,000 fighters. Further, despite the U.S. raid that killed former IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in October last year, IS has maintained command and control under new leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurashi.
