Tensions are mounting between Democrats and Republicans. Things have reached a boiling point.

And Republicans are demanding answers after a probe uncovers destroyed documents.

“Congress and the public deserve an answer,” states Ted Cruz.

Both House and Senate Republicans are raising their voices in frustration after the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) has allegedly destroyed documents in relation to a Congressional probe.

“By deleting documents, the FTC likely violated federal law,” says Cruz.

In a recent letter to FTC Chair Lina Khan, Ted Cruz is joined by Rep James Comer and Rep Jim Jordan in calling for accountability and demanding answers.

“Congress and the public deserve an explanation of why the FTC improperly destroyed records, what records it improperly destroyed, and what steps will be taken to ensure it never happens again,” the letter said.

This letter is a year and half after Rep. Jordan claims the agency destroyed documents in relation to his inquiry.

The FTC had passed a new rule that would restrict and ban “private sector employers from requiring workers to sign noncompete clauses that restrict them working for competitors or starting new businesses that offer similar services for a period of time.”

Jordan stated that the rule “exceeds delegated authority and… violates basic American principles of federalism and free markets.”

When Jordan started to investigate and inquire regarding this ruling, he requested certain documents from the FTC.

The FTC replied by stating that they had “deleted material likely responsive to the committee’s requests.”

Coming from a top agency, this is absurd.

A government agency has deleted documents that might have provided helpful insight to a House committee.

A top Republican wrote, “Moreover, it suggests that the agency is not committed to complying with the law, and that it may continue to delete records that are relevant to ongoing investigations.”

When a former President and other top Republican officials have been facing lawsuits and criminal charges in relation to handling of sensitive documents, surely that means the FTC will receive strong punishment?

Most likely not.

The FTC, like many government agencies, is full of fraudulent and incompetent leaders.

This recent move has proven they are yet another government agency full of corruption.

“To date, the FTC has not adequately addressed concerns about its record retention policy,” the letter states.

This is a resounding and scary wake-up call for all Americans.

The FBI has been plagued with corruption for years. But this could end things.

And a major FBI official pleads guilty to a disgraceful crime.

The FBI has been in and out of the news in recent years investigating presidents, former presidents, top aides, etc.

The hypocrisy of the Democrats has always been extreme.

When Donald Trump won the election in 2016, Democrats were quick to point to Russian collusion and have Trump investigated.

Not surprisingly, nothing turned up and the Democrats made fools of themselves.

However, a new development paints a very interesting picture.

An ex-FBI official who was a leading part in investigating Trump, has now pleaded guilty himself to conspiring with a Russian Oligarch.

This blows a hole in the Democrat’s angle.

For years they have been pushing their agenda and trying desperately to catch Trump in a lie or find any evidence of him colluding with Russia.

They have found nothing, and every investigation has cleared Trump completely.

Now, ironically, a leading FBI official who was tasked with the investigation of Trump has pled guilty to what he was investigating Trump for.

He has pled guilty to specifically “conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act” and “conspiring to commit money laundering”.

The reason for these acts was that the official, Charles McGonigal, was colluding with a Russian oligarch attempting to get him removed from the US sanctions list.

This FBI official has broken his vow to defend the Constitution and has been found guilty of doing the very thing Democrats wanted him to catch Donald Trump doing.

It is a strange turn of events from what Democrats surely hoped.

What is even stranger is that McGonigal is now the fourth FBI official investigating the Trump-Russia collusion to face criminal charges or be investigated.

McGonigal also faces multiple charges for receiving money from Russia to investigate a rival Russian oligarch.

All of their investigations have either turned nothing up, cleared Trump, or backfired and led to the investigation against them.

When will Democrats learn?

President Biden can’t go a day without embarrassing himself in public. But this time, his incoherent rambling has left him in a world of trouble.

And you’ll never believe what Joe Biden was caught saying on video.

The role of President of the United States requires a lot of public appearances.

And despite being in office for two and a half years, and decades in politics before that, Biden has yet to master these appearances without fumbling his words around.

This was the case yet again in a speech on Wednesday to celebrate the first anniversary of the failed Inflation Reduction Act.

During his speech, the President addressed the crowd by saying, “I want to say one thing to your children: I know some really great ice cream places around here, and daddy owes you. Okay? So talk to me afterwards.”

The awkward and forced laughter from the crowd should tell you all you need to know about how those comments were perceived.

And with many characterizing Biden as creepy, this isn’t the first time he’s acted that way towards children.

In 2019 he told a rather grotesque story about children rubbing his legs and jumping on his lap.

This can’t be real life…

President Biden’s obsession with children doesn’t stop there.

“In July, Biden was labeled ‘creepy’ by his critics after he nibbled on a small child before he departed Finland” according to the Daily Wire.

This has got to be Biden's creepiest moment yet with a child. pic.twitter.com/6o7IwD2Wm6

“In June, the White House released a video insisting that Americans’ children collectively belonged to the nation instead of their parents.”

In that video, the President was caught saying, “These are our kids. These are our neighbors. Not somebody else’s kids. They’re all our kids.”

Joe Biden referring to himself as “daddy” shouldn’t come as a shock, considering his claims that the government owns everyone’s children.

And after recently signing an executive order that has the Department of Health provide more sex changes to children, it doesn’t look like his unhealthy obsession will stop anytime soon.

These examples of Biden’s reckless behavior around kids should prevent any parent from letting their child get too close to the President.

Hunter has been caught in hot water. And things keep getting worse.

Now Hunter Biden is scrambling to cover up this awful crime.

More news has recently come to light showing just how far Hunter Biden has taken things.

It is no secret that Hunter is in hot water and has faced scrutiny in the public eye.

Recent reports show that Hunter Biden hired PR firms to scrub his Wikipedia to paint Hunter in a favorable way.

And interesting twist in this story, is that the PR firm Hunter hired, has also worked for the Ukrainian energy company Burisma which has major ties to the Biden family.

Hunter tried to scrub references to shady dealings, omit certain names, and paint himself in a better picture.

People knew that Hunter was desperate, but to hire PR firms to scrub Wikipedia is more than that;

It’s pathetic.

Just a few weeks after starting work with the PR firm, Hunter’s Wikipedia was totally changed.

Negative references were scrubbed, and extensive passages were added that highlighted Hunter’s volunteer work, political titles, work in government, etc.

It is not uncommon for people to hire Wikipedia editors.

For example, in 2020 Jeffery Zients’ (an advisor to then candidate for president, Joe Biden) page was edited and scrubbed.
However, the lengths at which Hunter has taken to erase all criticism of himself is extreme.

In the Wikipedia article, not long after the PR firm was hired, a certain passage in which Hunter was criticized for his work with Burisma, mysteriously disappeared.

Hunter Biden is desperate for approval, and even more desperate to stay out of jail.

The lengths at which this man goes to ensure his image is only positive, is frankly ridiculous.

Not only did Hunter have these edits made, he made sure they happened in a way which made it appear organic and unaltered.

On top of editing his Wikipedia, Hunter tried to cover up that he had tampered with it.

In May of 2014, “an account called ‘AmeliaChevalier’ edited Hunter’s Wikipedia to delete any reference to ‘disgraced financier Allen Stanford.’”

Hunter Biden is a desperate and pathetic individual who feels the need to scrub the internet of all wrongdoing to avoid disproval and at this point maybe even jail.

Disagreements among political allies can get ugly at times. But no one expected this.

And NYC Mayor Eric Adams was stabbed in the back by this fellow Democrat.

Illegal immigration has been a major issue in the United States ever since President Biden took office in January of 2021.

And while many Democrat-run cities believe they can house hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens, New York City may have bitten off more than they can chew.

Democrat Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams is fully aware of the crisis his city is under.

“Last week, Adams announced that the influx of immigrants will cost New York City an estimated $12 billion by the summer of 2025 if the current rate of arrivals continues,” said the Washington Examiner.

“He urged the Biden administration to call for a state of emergency to manage the crisis at the United States-Mexico border.”

But to make matters worse for Mayor Adams, one his supposed-Democrat allies felt as though he did a poor job at handling the city’s immigration issue.

According to the Washington Examiner, “Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) criticized New York City officials in a letter Tuesday night, saying the city has ‘failed’ to accept the state’s help or recommendations regarding the immigration crisis there.”

The 12-page letter penned by Governor Kathy Hochul’s lawyer made it clear that Mayor Adams could have asked for more assistance from the state for the 100,000 illegal aliens but instead refused.

“The State has identified numerous additional State-owned properties and non-State owned sites that are viable options for sheltering migrants, but the City has not accepted these offers,” said Faith E. Gay, Hochul’s lawyer.

“While Governor Hochul and Acting Commissioner Guinn appreciate Mayor Adams’ public acknowledgment of the State’s significant role in the crisis response, the City can and should do more to act in a proactive and collaborate manner with the State.”

According to Governor Hochul, not only did Adams refuse support at times, but he also failed to provide “necessary information” to the state when the crisis began.

This failed leadership by Mayor Adams has Republicans in the state wondering if the problem will ever be solved.

When lobbying for a state of emergency for upstate New York, State Senator Tom O’Mara (R) wrote that the illegal immigration disaster is due to a “failed response on the state and federal levels.”

And federally speaking, President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris – the infamous “Border Czar” – have been an utter catastrophe.

Even Mayor Adams has realized this in his repeated attempts to ask the Biden Administration to get a handle on illegal immigration coming from the country’s southern border.

But with no signs of the issue resolving at a federal level, the Mayor will instead have to figure out how to shelter a flood of illegal aliens as mandated by the state of New York.

And as Adams desperately scrambles to follow the state’s mandate, he will have Governor Hochul breathing down his neck.

Many people have been critical of the recent proceedings in Georgia. To conservatives, it’s an obvious witch hunt against Donald Trump and his allies.

Now Rudy Giuliani unleashed on Trump’s Georgia prosecutors.

Rudy Giuliani is among 19 individuals who were recently indicted in a Georgia court.

The charges include a racketeering statute that has past ties to Giuliani.

Rudy Giuliani made his name in the 1980s, especially for locking up crime bosses and members of the mafia.

More specifically, Rudy used the Racketeer Influenced and Corruption Organization laws (also known as RICO) to put away feared crime lords.

In reference to the statute, Rudy claims “there’s probably no one that knows it better than I do.”

He has slammed the Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis as an “incompetent, sloppy prosecutor.”

The former New York Mayor says that if DA Willis worked for him, he “would’ve fired her” due to her lack of knowledge and understanding regarding the recent indictment.

While some may disagree with Mr. Giuliani, it is hard to deny that he knows this statute inside and out.

“I was the first one to use it in white-collar cases,” says Rudy. “This is not meant for election disputes. I mean this is ridiculous what she’s doing.”

Giuliani and Trump have denied all wrongdoing in the case.

And Rudy has blasted the charges and claimed they are “an affront to American Democracy.”

While many Americans do not know where to fall on the indictments, these recent proceedings have raised many eyebrows.

Rudy Giuliani is firm in his belief that these are all just a “book of lies with the purpose of framing President Donald Trump.”

“They lied about Russian collusion, they lied about Joe Biden’s foreign bribery scheme, and they lied about Hunter Biden’s laptop hard drive proving 30 years of criminal activity.”

While many still question whether or not Trump is guilty or not, at the very least everyone should be able to agree that the Democrat’s handling of recent events has been a farce.

They have been caught in countless lies and continue to deny hard evidence that shows wrongdoing on countless fronts.

While we must take what Rudy says with a grain of salt as he has also been indicted, it is hard to forget his past as a fearsome lawyer dedicated to seeing justice brought to criminals.

He knows the law, and he knows these statutes better than most.

Stay tuned as we uncover more of the truth here on Prudent Politics.

What just happened on Monday morning is shocking. And it could blow up in top officials’ faces.

And an astonishing mistake exposed this truth about Donald Trump.

On Monday morning, a suspicious mistake was made.

As the heat ramps up surrounding Donald Trump, more and more people are raising questions as to the validity of these indictments.

Well, on Monday morning, a grand jury in Georgia indicted Trump and 18 others on charges of “violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act through participation in a criminal enterprise in Fulton County, Georgia, and elsewhere, to accomplish the illegal goal of allowing Donald J Trump to fees, the presidential term of office, beginning on January, 20 21.”

What happened right before the grand jury had finished deliberating is what is raising people’s eyebrows and suspicions.

Before the jury had even finished, charges were leaked online that showed the charges voted on by the jury.

This raised a lot of concern about the integrity of the judicial system in Georgia, especially when it came to the Trump indictment.

If everything were honest and truthful, why would these charges appear online the exact way the jury voted, before the jury had even finished?

When the DA, Fani Willis, was asked about these suspicious leaks, she refused to give a clear answer.

“No, I can’t tell you anything about what you refer to,” she said when asked.

Later the DA’s office claimed these leaks were “fictitious.”

Even if they were fictitious as the DA claims, they were surprisingly accurate to what the grand jury later decided on.

Many already have been questioning themselves on the validity of these charges and much of what Trump is being charged with.

This strange leak exposes the truth for many. Even if things are as they claim, there is at least something fishy going on here.

This most recent indictment is considered by many to be the final straw.

And with these new leaks, before the grand jury had voted, many are outraged.

Where is the honest system of justice in America?

Why is there so much whispering and hiding the truth on such major cases such as these?

The American people are demanding answers, and they aren’t going anywhere until they get them.

Some feel that this truly is a “witch hunt” as Trump calls it and others demand answers to easy questions.

But everyone demands honesty and integrity which does not seem to be present even as more and more shady issues arise.

It is no secret that politics can get nasty. Many times, people can take things too far.

But now, Democrats are on the brink of civil war thanks to this high-profile defection.

With tensions on the rise regarding the growing border crisis, many politicians and leaders are calling for a change.

In the past, only Republicans have had the guts to call out the White House’s terrible border policies.

But now, more and more prominent Democrats are turning on their own administration.

Many states and cities are declaring states of emergency and are calling for a change.

The Massachusetts governor described the situation as a “federal crisis of inaction that is many years in the making.”

Biden and the current administration did not expect there to be contention among their own party.

They overestimated the support they would receive from Democrats.

Election season is almost upon us and the last thing Biden needs, is for support to fail among his own allies.

The Republicans and many Independents hate Biden and need no excuse to vote against him, but Biden needs all possible support from Democrats.

This “civil war” could be exactly what the Republicans need this election season.

A prominent leader from Chicago invited Biden to tour one of the city’s overrun migrant camps.

An offer which, of course, Biden has refused.

The mayor of New York has gone from saying he would “welcome migrants with open arms” to begging the White House for aid.

A Democratic senator from Arizona also came after Biden and called his border policies “dumb.”

This kind of pushback from the Democratic party is a huge loss for Biden and a huge gain for Republicans.

If this contention can be exploited and pushed further, Republicans will have a much higher chance of winning the Presidency.

With the “civil war” now erupting among Democrats, it is proving how sick and tired the American people are of an ineffective and clueless President.

People want a strong leader who will care for the needs of their citizens.

Not a leader who spends more time and money on immigrants and foreign countries while his own country suffers immensely.

The current administration is being caught in lies left and right. But they keep trying to make excuses or whisk them away.

But Karine Jean-Pierre humiliated Joe Biden with this braindead statement.

As the proceeding surrounding Hunter Biden continue to escalate, the White House has had to change their story multiple times to keep up with Hunter’s story.

Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has had to run in circles to keep up.

Her most recent response states that there is “zero evidence” that Joe Biden “discussed” or “involved with” Hunter Biden’s business.

This is at least the third time the White House has had to change their story to keep up with Hunter Biden and new evidence that has come to light.

Originally, Joe Biden said that he had “never discussed” the business dealings.

KJP in recent weeks then changed to say “the president was never in dealings with his son.”

An now, has claimed that there is zero evidence of discussion or involvement.

It is shocking how many times the White House has had to backup and restate lies in order to cover for Joe Biden.

Not only is the administration lying flat out to the public, but they are also ignoring copious amounts of mounting evidence against them.

There are pictures, logs, voicemails, phone calls, and Joe Biden’s own words that expose him and his administration as liars.

The White House is trying to cover up for Joe Biden and as they do so, are making it abundantly clear that they do not care if they lie and change stories as they do so.

Even other Democrats know there is no defending Hunter and call his dealings “unlawful” but they still refuse to admit Joe Biden’s involvement.

The ability to lie and deny even when the evidence could not be any clearer should be a wake-up call for all voters.

KJP recently stated that Republicans “keep turning up documents and witnesses showing the president wasn’t involved, never discussed these business dealings, and did nothing wrong. There’s been zero evidence showing otherwise.”

To have a press secretary that is so easily able to lie is a scary thought.

How much of what comes from the White House is a blatant lie to cover for Joe Biden?

How can we hope for truth and honesty when our President and the White House press secretary and lying to cover for Hunter Biden’s shady business dealings?

How can we hope that the administration cares at all for the American people when they constantly show they don’t?

It is time for a change.

Joe Biden has a major hostage situation on his hands. The media won’t talk about it.

And now President Biden’s hostage situation has new shocking developments you need to hear about.

Maybe the biggest failure of the Biden administration that has been talked about the least has been his failure to bring home hostages who are being wrongfully detained in enemy territories throughout the world.

Joe Biden has had to resort to negotiating with terrorists like those in Iran to get Americans back safely.

The hostage situation with the most at stake right now is likely Evan Gershkovich.

Gershkovich was wrongly thrown in prison by the Russians earlier this year on charges of espionage and being an agent and informant for the United States.

Gershkovich’s case is so important because this is the first time that an American has been detained in Russia on charges of espionage since the 1980s.

What’s sad is that the Biden administration seems to be no closer to securing Evan Gershkovich’s freedom. Instead, they are just offering him visits from the U.S. Ambassador to Russia.

On Monday, Wall Street Journal writer Evan Gershkovich, who has been held in Russia since the beginning of the year, met with United States Ambassador to the Russian Federation Lynne Tracy.

Tracy has previously paid two visits to Gershkovich in Lefortovo Prison since his arrest in March. There were differences of opinion over Gershkovich’s level of communication with Washington during her last visit, which took place in July.

The U.S. Embassy in Moscow said that “Ambassador Tracy reported that Evan continues to appear in good health and remains strong despite the circumstances.”

On March 29, officials from the Russian Federation’s Federal Security Service apprehended the 31-year-old journalist en route to Yekaterinburg on suspicion of espionage.

He is the only American journalist to be detained in Russia since the Cold War ended, and he, The Wall Street Journal, and the United States have all denied that he is a spy or has worked for the government in any capacity.

The U.S. Department of State has concluded that Gershkovich was wrongfully arrested and is now waiting for trial. This label is crucial for any future prisoner exchange negotiations between Washington and Beijing.

Vice President Joe Biden told reporters in Europe last month, “I’m serious about doing all we can to free Americans who are being illegally held in Russia or, for that matter, anywhere else, and that process is underway.”

Gershkovich has received support from both houses of Congress in the United States. In June, the House passed a resolution demanding that Russia release him immediately and grant him consular access.

While espionage convictions in the country entail a prison penalty of 10–20 years, legal experts have informed The Journal that it could be a while before Gershkovich goes to trial.

Thus far, Russia has not signaled any willingness to work with the U.S. federal government to free Evan Gershkovich from being held hostage.

The Biden administration has also confirmed that there has not been any significant progress to secure Gershkovich’s freedom.
