"Documents recently obtained by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, included an anomaly in the classification coding -- one that indicates FBI agents intentionally misclassified information to conceal evidence of Biden-family corruption.

On Monday, Grassley highlighted the discovery in a letter he penned to Attorney General Todd Blanche, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, about misconduct he has uncovered related to 'Operation Round River.' 'Round River' was the name of the investigation run out of FBI headquarters, in conjunction with the Foreign Influence Task Force ('FITF'); an investigation whistleblowers claim sought to 'improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation and caused investigative activity to cease.'

As The Federalist previously reported, Grassley revealed FITF used the investigation 'to seek out CHS holdings at FBI Field Offices across the country relating to the Biden family and falsely discredit them as foreign disinformation.' And 'at one point in time the FBI maintained over 40 Confidential Human Sources that provided criminal information relating to Joe Biden, James Biden, and Hunter Biden.' Sources familiar with Round River also told The Federalist 'that the investigation sought to scuttle any investigative leads into Biden family corruption by discrediting it as Russia disinformation.'

In his Monday letter, Grassley revealed that the records related to Round River also showed the intelligence community 'used its resources to downgrade allegations of criminality relating to the Biden family apparently without sufficient investigation.' And notwithstanding the lack of an appropriate investigation, the intelligence community created a list of supposed 'conduits' of disinformation related to evidence implicating the Biden family in Ukrainian corrupt -- a list that included then-Attorney General William Barr."

"Angie Nixon's stunning Florida Senate primary win on Tuesday gave the Democratic Socialists of America its biggest statewide breakthrough yet: For the first time ever, a DSA member won a major-party nomination for statewide office.

"Why it matters: The breakthrough -- the biggest upset in modern Florida Democratic politics -- was also stunning because Republicans have spent years making opposition to socialism central to their political brand in the state.

"Nixon, a Jacksonville state representative and former union organizer who joined DSA during the campaign, beat former Trump impeachment witness Alex Vindman. The scale of the upset was extraordinary: Nixon won by double digits despite raising just $975,000 to Vindman's $16.3 million in President Trump's home state."

"Don't believe the Democratic National Committee's official storyline The DNC's decision to make South Carolina the first Democratic presidential primary in 2028 isn't about introducing more racial diversity into the early contests.

"It's actually about keeping power in the hands of the party establishment -- the people who backed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020, and who are likely to wind up supporting Kamala Harris in 2028.

"The fix is in."

"Flock Safety, the surveillance technology company increasingly under scrutiny from lawmakers from both parties, civil liberties advocates and citizens across the U.S., announced Thursday that it is making changes to its platform intended to quell privacy concerns and address documented abuses of its system by some members of law enforcement.

"The company operates a vast nationwide network of automated cameras that record the license plate numbers and other characteristics of all passing vehicles every day. Thousands of law enforcement agencies in 49 states can search and share Flock's data across jurisdictions to aid their investigations.

"Police have credited the technology as an important crime-fighting innovation that has helped locate missing people and track suspects in violent crimes. But some critics say its pervasiveness amounts to unconstitutional warrantless mass surveillance. Dozens of cities and agencies have nixed their relationships with Flock amid concerns that the data can be accessed for immigration enforcement or used in unauthorized tracking, after a flurry of examples surfaced of law enforcement officers misusing the technology for personal searches."

"What is it with Democrats and their fake supporters, fake accents, fake backgrounds, fake accomplishments? Is it because they think voters are that shallow and stupid? Or because they don't want anyone to know how incredibly out of touch they are with regular Americans?

"This week, to cite just the most recent example, a group of 'Republicans for Talarico' disbanded after it turned out that they were actually just a bunch of lifelong Democrats in disguise, but not before MS NOW gave them some free airtime.

"'The people that [Talarico] had come out and say that they were on his team have been proven to be basically Democrat, liberal activists that have been supporting Democrat candidates for 10-plus years,' Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters told Fox News Digital.

"The Talarico campaign distanced itself from these folks after their cover was blown. But everything about Talarico is as fake, from his Christianity to his barbecue photo op."

"In a race that showcased Democrats' struggle between the ideological left and center, Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley managed a razor-thin victory over his democratic socialist challenger. The race was so close that neither side could claim a decisive victory.

"In other contests, experience was rewarded in two governors' races and voters went for generational change in voting out a House incumbent.

"For Republicans, a contest to replace the late Sen. Lindsey Graham pitted his sister, Darline Graham, against far more experienced candidates. But she also had the endorsement of President Donald Trump, and she secured a spot in a runoff election later this month.

"Cyberattacks against water and wastewater systems reportedly have reached at least a dozen states, with threat actors exploiting low-complexity attacks against industrial controllers. The intrusions, possibly linked to the Iranian government, prove the US's water infrastructure remains dangerously exposed.

"In recent weeks, water and wastewater organizations associated with a number of different US states have disclosed cyberattacks against their systems. Minnesota was the first to confirm such attacks late last month, saying that cyberattackers targeted operational technology (OT) systems for more than 30 water systems. Around the same time on July 30, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) updated an earlier advisory warning of 'a significant increase in cyber-threat actors targeting programmable logic controllers (PLCs) in the Water and Wastewater Systems (WWS) Sector.'

"The US cyber agency said threat actors were modifying PLC passwords to lock out operators and also disconnecting PLCs by changing their IP addresses. 'CISA urges critical infrastructure owners, operators, and integrators to remove publicly exposed PLCs and other OT from the Internet as soon as possible,' CISA said at the time.

"This CISA advisory followed the FBI updating an April warning on July 22 that Iranian threat actors are targeting PLCs in critical infrastructure manufactured by Rockwell Automation/Allen Bradley, Schneider Electric, Siemens, and possibly other vendors."

"One day, the United States seems ready to unleash a Curtis LeMay-style devastating bombing campaign of Iran. The next, it appears trapped in endless haggling with Iranian dissimulators.

"Of the roughly 150 days since the first strike, about 90 have passed without major military operations.

"Iran believes time is on its side. The Strait of Hormuz remains disrupted, gas prices are too high, and antiwar House Democrats seem poised to win the midterms and bring Trump's war to a halt.

"Trump, by contrast, believes Iran can talk all it wants while sanctions, embargoes, and military pressure steadily weaken the regime.

"The war has become so politicized in an election year that several basic realities have gone largely unnoticed by the media."

"For nearly 40 years, the global warming cabal has spread fear and wasted resources on an emergency that doesn't exist. While their influence has begun to wane, as their credibility has crashed and their lies have been exposed, the fabrications, exaggerations, and junk science continue. How much longer must we endure their campaign of rancid propaganda? ...

"Washington Gov. Jay Inslee reflexively blamed his state's wildfires on climate change. Soon thereafter, a man was arrested in connection with one of the three fires burning through Spokane County and has been questioned in arson investigations into other fires. And as our friends at Power Line have noted, wildfire damage in terms of acres burned peaked nearly a century ago and, in fact, is down more than 80%."

"Hamas officials routinely bullied and intimidated employees of U.S.-funded NGOs operating in Gaza in order to control their operations, according to a confidential probe by American investigators that was obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. The probe reveals that Hamas threatened to sic its fearsome police force on aid workers and even tried to access the NGOs' private employee data as the terror group moved to establish outposts at hospitals and redirect aid to meet its needs.

"The June investigatory report by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) inspector general's office, an independent law enforcement entity separate from the largely defunct USAID, provides definitive proof that Hamas is interfering in aid operations and threatening workers on the ground. In one case, Hamas Ministry of Interior personnel 'attempted to obtain employee data' from a U.S.-funded NGO and, in another, ordered a humanitarian group 'to provide material support to some specific families that they had identified.' In the second case, Hamas officials warned that failure to comply with their order would result in 'the police' shutting down the group's aid operation.

"Hamas's police force is instrumental in repression -- maintaining political control and crushing dissent -- inside Gaza. The Free Beacon previously reported that the Hamas police installed makeshift torture chambers at Gaza hospitals."
