Biden is blindsided by everything he hears every minute of the day.
Biden did not have to be in the loop for this ... or maybe he forgot he verbally authorized it. Plausible Deniability. The dems engage in group think. Garland could very well have executed this all on his own.
The timing is interesting. They have been investigating Trump since at least Apr/May. Why didn’t they search way back then? They waited until almost the last day ahead of the “90 days until the election countdown” to get maximum effect before the mid-terms. We are now at exactly 90 days until the election.
Biden is blindsided attempting to put on a jacket.
