Every now and then, the attorney general, whoever he or she is, whichever administration he or she serves, writes a memo called "Election Year Sensitivities." The purpose is to remind the Justice Department's 115,000 employees that they should not allow politics to influence their work.

Yesterday's newsletter discussed the growing frustration among Capitol Hill Republicans about the FBI's apparent reluctance to investigate an allegation, from a trusted bureau confidential source, that Joe Biden accepted a multimillion-dollar bribe when he was vice president.

One of the murkier aspects of congressional Republicans' investigation of President Joe Biden's financial history concerns an allegation that Biden, when he was vice president, accepted a $5 million bribe from the corrupt Ukrainian energy firm Burisma. The alleged scheme also involved Biden's son Hunter.

Republicans in Congress are starting to ask questions about last weekend's discovery of a baggie of cocaine in the White House. On Friday morning, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY), best known as the chief investigator of Hunter Biden on Capitol Hill, sent a letter to Kimberly Cheatle, head of the Secret Service. "The presence of illegal drugs in the White House is unacceptable and a shameful moment in the White House's history," Comer wrote. "This incident has raised additional concerns with the committee regarding the level of security maintained at the White House." Comer requested a briefing for the committee by no later than next week.

There's no doubt Hunter Biden had some serious tax problems. In the 2010s, he took in millions from shady overseas business dealings, trading on the name of his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, and had a history of filing his returns late with six-figure amounts of taxes due. There was also his lowlife, high-cost drug addict lifestyle in which he threw away hundreds of thousands of dollars on prostitutes and crack. He had personal financial problems most people don't share.

Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) said she will bring articles of impeachment against President Joe Biden to the House floor and that she will do it in a way, a parliamentary maneuver called a privileged motion, that will force the House to take a vote on it. Boebert's effort to impeach the president focuses on his mishandling of the situation at the U.S.-Mexico border.

There are a lot of questions surrounding the federal indictment of former President Donald Trump, which alleges that after leaving the White House, Trump kept secret national defense information he was not legally allowed to possess. Questions such as: Did Trump, as president, have the authority to decide what to keep, and what to give to the National Archives, after leaving office? And just how sensitive were the documents he kept? And even if Trump lacked the specific authority, and the papers were sensitive, has the Justice Department overreached by charging Trump with 37 felonies?

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez announced Thursday that he is running for the Republican nomination for president. Suarez released a video of himself in athletic clothes running around Miami as dramatic music swelled behind him. "When I was elected, the city was broke and broken," he says in the video. "But we came together, and I won my mayoral election with over 80% of the vote." (Critics quickly pointed out that Miami has a city manager government in which the mayor has relatively little power.)

On June 6, President Joe Biden marked the 79th anniversary of the D-Day invasion by issuing a brief statement praising the "brave service members" who "volunteered to lay down their lives for our liberty." According to the Department of Defense, more than 9,000 Allied troops were killed or wounded during the first 24 hours of the invasion.

There are reports the Biden Justice Department is on the verge of indicting former President Donald Trump in the classified documents investigation. Not only would such an indictment be the first federal charge against a former president, but it would also be the first time a sitting president's administration has indicted a leading opposition party candidate in the run-up to a presidential election.
