A Momentous Election
American Greatness ^ | 24 Oct 2020 | Roger Kimball

So here we are, 10 days out from the most momentous election of my lifetime.

Candor requires that I admit that I have often felt that sense of existential emergency around election time. But reflection tells me that the closest thing to the 2020 election was the 2016 election, and that was not because of its wild card—Donald Trump—but because of “sure thing” Hillary Clinton, the single most corrupt serious contender for president in our history.

That may seem melodramatic, but the truth is often melodramatic.

I did not, until recently, suspect Joe Biden of serious corruption. The ongoing revelations from Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” have led me to reconsider that judgment, especially when combined with the ongoing bulletins from Hunter Biden’s former business partner, Tony Bobulinski, who claims that Joe Biden, contrary to his repeated assertions, was involved in discussions about his son’s business dealings.

So far, I believe, the public is not privy to any smoking-gun evidence about Joe Biden’s involvement, but the gun is warm and the optics are bad. The implicit oath of omertà followed by the media with respect to the saga of Hunter’s laptop has been truly impressive.

Day after day, the New York Post, which first broke the story a week or so back, has been broadcasting more and more tidbits from this extraordinary trove of perversity and apparent corruption.

Magnificent should be the word as Trump is going to blow them out of the water via the people.

The Senate report, the IRS Suspicious Activity Reports, Bevan Cooney and Tony Bobulinski's e-mails and texts. All seem to corroborate and confirm that, at a minimum, 5 Million USD was transferred from a Chinese company to Biden controlled accounts. And the MSM covers it all up.

If there was this much evidence against Trump, there would be another special counsel, and it would be the lead story on every network.
