Everyone paying attention to the latest revelations about Hunter Biden and his energetically supportive father knows that journalists and Republican officials have opened a vein, or "the walls are closing in." Even so, the leftist media are trying to report as little of this damaging scandal material as they possibly can.
We can scarcely imagine the anxious political chatter inside pro-Biden newsrooms, but let's imagine it sounds something like Jen Psaki's MSNBC show. Psaki brought all her persuasive pressure on former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan to recant how he tweeted former President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden were both unpopular and "both potentially face very serious legal troubles." It should apparently be unthinkable to compare them. Psaki argued, "Hunter Biden is not in office, he's not serving in government ... not equivalent!"
New scoops are underlining this is a Joe Biden scandal. The New York Post reported Hunter Biden's former business partner and friend, Devon Archer, will be testifying that he put Joe Biden on the phone with his business associates from Burisma at least two dozen times. That's worse than the story of Hunter intimidating foreign clients by claiming his dad is in the room, listening in.
The website Business Insider reported Hunter Biden made $1.3 million for his amateurish watercolor paintings. One unknown buyer spent $875,000 on "artworks." Joe Biden appointed one buyer, Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, to a prestigious commission.
The Washington Free Beacon added that Naftali has visited the White House at least 13 times since December 2021, including a meeting with senior Biden adviser Neera Tanden. All of Naftali's visits occurred after Hunter Biden's first art show opened in New York in November 2021.
The Washington Examiner found a close personal friend and aide to the Biden family appears to have worked for years in the Delaware U.S. Attorney's office under David Weiss, including when the Hunter Biden probe began.
Democrats are clearly telling their journalistic allies that you can't cover stories like this on the Biden scandals because to cover them automatically means that Biden and Trump both face "serious legal troubles." They cover Trump scandals so meticulously, hour after hour after hour, that one screen on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports" simply said this: "DC Grand Jury Meets As Possible New Indictment Looms."
This is their business model. "Grand Jury Meets" is worth hours of airtime, and "Possible New Indictment" can be a news hook for weeks. Meanwhile, even those network stars who are tiptoeing on the Biden investigations sound extremely tentative.
On CNN's "State of the Union," host Dana Bash could only ask Rep. Nancy Pelosi about Hunter Biden probes, "Are you confident the politics did not play a role here?" This is like asking, "Are you sure humans are made up of molecules?" This only cued Pelosi to disparage Republican hearings as a "ridiculous clown show."
On CBS's "Face the Nation," host Margaret Brennan told former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie that the Biden Justice Department's sweetheart plea deal with Hunter "infuriated" Republicans, but, "I wonder, after this plea happens, if you would advise your party to move on?"
Christie said no, but what kind of question is this? Would she ask Democrats whether they should just move on from their Trump investigations? This question isn't about holding the Bidens accountable. It's a journalist demanding that the Bidens should be in charge of handling the Bidens.
The media elites did not vet Joe Biden before he won the 2020 election. They spent the 2020 election cycle protecting him like a journalistic Secret Service. Their protection racket continues and should be obvious to anyone who observes the press in action -- or inaction.
The only way justice occurs here is if the walls fall on the Bidens. The DOJ, FBI, CIA media are all protecting their fellow Dem.
Only if the dimrats want him gone.
Wake me up when a Demonrat goes to jail over this.
The only way the Bidens will fac justice is if the Dems do it to get rid of them. Which means, if Obama wants to get rid of him. Our slim majority in the House will never do it.
No. Next question.
it’s starting to look like they do. That means his replacement is worse.
They want the walls to close in on Biden so they can leverage him not running for reelection to use against Trump. I really think this is why DeSantis is reducing staff and cutting costs. I believe his campaign believes that without Trump nor Biden running, he could announce later in the year, save a boatload of money and still be the front runner.
Bold strategy Cotton. Let’s see how this plays out.
The media is not going to change. There will never be a “reverse Watergate.” For any Democrat to actually face justice, it will take Republicans wielding the ever-dreaded government power. We will not tax cut the Biden’s to jail. There is not a free market solution to the issue.
Just “shining the light of truth” on the corruption won’t do anything. The institutions that should take the lead at that point (like the media and prosecutors and voting) have been subverted. It is going to take some heavy lifting and being called bad names for anything to be accomplished. I don’t see it happening.
Yep. The repubs are not invited to that party.
When the heat gets to be too much, the dims will toss him overboard.
To the point where joebama announced he was appointing the current see eye ehhh clown, Burns... TO the cabinet! Cabinet positions need to be approved by Congress, pretty sure, and most importantly joebama already has the TOP intel “cabinet” member... the Director of National Intelligence— the DNI (which was Ratcliff under Trump and before him Ric Grennell Acting DNI).
The DNI heads up ALL US intel (all military agencies of the services, FBI counterintel, and is the boss of the see eye ehh clown chief and the agency still practicing DOMESTIC illegal election interference through their co-opting of tech and media and all owned uniparty a@@clowns like Romney and Christie. This is no joke— tyrant criminal family joebama (who is also demented and controlled) and fronted through MicroSoftNationalBroadcastingCompany— MSNBC. Absolute schills along with the 3 letter outfits who are degrading out of existence in the real world. Overlording all this— the chi-com payors to all in politics and US manipulation.
Yes
But does it matter ?
You don’t know, maybe this whole “collapse” has been engineered by the Deep State/Democrat Socialists as their way of demolition before the “big cleanup” can start.
But they do not have enough trucks to haul away all the debris and wreckage, and there will be an ugly scar on the landscape for a long while.
The baby and bathwater conundrum. How are the two separated?
Sam Bankmann Fried is still on 250 million BAIL!! Crypto currency financing incredible criminal actions— all for Demonrats. Zero justice, and the guy was operating from the Bahamas.
Lot of moving parts, FReepers. Keep our eyes on them and do not take their bait, or give up. Their noses need to be pushed into the cesspool that is their organization and Communist membership. There is NO good for what most in the US who are loyal Americans want for our future. Aside from the corporatist Leftist Fascists. Keep up the pressure from the quarters we can get out to people who are not...TOADS.
He'll never receive justice, he paid off the right people...Democrats.
You guys are just not paying attention. The Democrats are moving Biden out - but since they control all media and shape popular perception, they would like the story to read, "Harsh, cruel, mean Republicans shove poor old man in front of a train".
The one reason white female suburban voters who are afraid of blacks vote (D) is because Republicans are "mean", and they just don't like mean people.
There is no way Biden is the nominee. There have been too many negative stories about him in the regime media (NYT, WaPo, NBC, CNN, etc) to make a Biden re-election plausible.
But the DNC plays to win, and if they can build a "Rethuglican" narrative into the Fall of Biden, they will.
So far, McCarthy has stayed out of the trap, but this may be changing.
We live in interesting times.
“The DOJ, FBI, CIA media are all protecting their fellow Dem”.
And they are doing massive CYA for themselves.
They won’t get rid of Biden, unless Trump goes with him. It’s a package deal.
I don't disagree. They know that he cannot win this time around, but they sure are in a pickle. Their bench is weak, they need a vassal they can have their media partners frame as a great candidate. I don't think it can be someone with a (poor) record like Newsome, or mayor pete and certainly not kamala.
Biden will end up resigning for health/mental reasons and that will more than likely be the end of the whole thing....IMO.
