Are Walls Closing in on the Bidens?
Townhall ^ | | Jul 26, 2023 | Tim Graham

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 Dims may be dumb, but they’re not idiots. They (like the GOP) are well ahead of the general public with this information. They know what is and isn’t there. They’ll protect Biden as long as they can, but once they realize the evidence is all there and it’s coming out, they’ll try to give him a gracious out.

Quite honestly, the best we could hope for (other than the sound of a jail door slamming) is for this to continue to slowly grow, and eventually begin to envelop Slow Joe and his team sometime next April or May.

I think the plan is for “offsetting penalties” so neither side gets too upset if their guy goes, as long as the other guy goes as well.

But that’s not good for our side, because it really doesn’t matter who the Rats have in the White House. Joe is expendable, Trump isn’t.

The Republicans will write two sets of letters, the first a stern warning that they know that the Biden family has committed some alleged illegal actions and the Republicans may send a letter to the Justice Department to look into it. The second letter will be to the rubes asking for donations to the Republicans because we need to elect more establishment Republicans to get things done in Washington.
As to the Democrats they will send the Justice Department, F.B.I., I.R.S.,A.T.F.& Postal Service Police, after all the people making these “false accusations” and spreading “misinformation”. The cable news outlets will have live coverage of the 5:00A.M. raids of those people so the American people will know that the Democrats, Federal Government,& our news media are taking action to save our “democracy”!

Very difficult to equate DJT to the 50 years of joebama lying grift (all the way from the lynching of Clarence Thomas, who was defended by Episcopalian minister and Senator Danfort, recall) and the cracks in obamaumao’s facade with his “spouse” and the recent odd death of their “chef”. Holding the remnants of a criminally financed party dnc is probably not a problem since they are a gang. But there are hopefully more Jonathan Turleys to fight the Lawfare jive and weave, and needless expense to their targets.

Truly stupid people took as “crime” the two “impeachments” composed of fabrication and one done after DJT left office— never before. Zero Constitution. Adam schiff’s ‘campaign’ is a bellwether entirely dependent on Newsome and Pelosi’s machine. Pelosi may croak along the way, Feinstein definitely is in embalming while alive stage.

Tough job for us to maintain our Constitutional representative Republic, isn’t it?But there are hopefully more J

Yea, but they simply will not put Trump in there. They know they can control the election. That is why they dont have any campaign plans.

The Obamas put themselves in the splash zone between Hollywood and Democrats. I doubt the political gatekeepers are going to let the Obamas take them all down by choice.

If any does it’ll be a low level nobody they threw under the bus.
