Hiding Biden: How Democrats Crafted the First Impeachment, Helping Defeat Trump in 2020 With Media Help
Real Clear Investigations ^ | February 4, 2021 | Mark Hemingway

By the numbers, Joe Biden is president of the United States because he won the swing states of Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin by a combined total of some 43,000 votes.

But he also owes his victory to the groundwork laid by Democrats and their media allies one year before, during the first impeachment of Donald Trump over his supposedly strings-attached demand that the Ukrainian government investigate alleged corruption involving Biden’s son, Hunter.

The first impeachment failed to oust Trump from office, but it helped secure the White House for Biden. It shielded him from scrutiny, enabling him and his supporters to cast allegations during the campaign about dubious Biden family business ties as rehashed Trumpian conspiracy theories.

Biden’s razor-thin swing state victories might not have materialized if the Trump campaign had been able to gain traction from its October Surprise – a series of articles it helped orchestrate in the New York Post that reported information from a laptop owned by Hunter Biden suggesting corrupt foreign business deals that may have involved his father.

As many as 45% of Biden voters said they were unaware of Hunter’s financial scandals before the election. That’s likely because Democrats and much of the media discredited or did not report the accusations in the final weeks of the campaign – accusations that were bolstered after the election when Hunter admitted that he has been the subject of an ongoing federal corruption probe since 2018...

Getting Greens off the ballots was also great strategy!
And packing the pools Was just the icing on the cake.

3 states by 43 K votes? No wonder there is a substantial portion of the political class and media that do not want election irregularities investigated.

This is a pointless article. The media and big tech see blackout had more impact in this story than anything else. Period. Plus, Trump won the votes to be re-elected. Millions of extra ballots were illegally leading to the outcome.

Yes, that it is interesting. I knew that, but then, I didn’t know that, you know what I mean?

When you see it articulated in print succinctly, it really hits home.

Consider 2016:

Michigan- Trump by 10,704
Arizona- Trump by 91,200
Wisconsin- Trump by 22,748

If Hillary had won PA, Trump would have still won with the 3 states above.

Biden’s supposed vote margin in PA was only 82K.

What the Dems did with Biden, starting with the first impeachment, was the beginning of the art of the steal.

The only thing that “defeated” President Trump was election fraud.

The Republicans Controlled the Senate, yet no Trump witnesses were allowed in either house, and none of over 200 Republicans named the Leftist Activist Whistleblower on the tip of the Coup.

The first impeachment was a bipartisan operation meant to damage President Trump and obstruct his agenda. It was an open secret the hoaxblower was a former Biden staffer who launched his op from his CIA desk in Langley. The GOP Senate did not lift one finger to gather their own facts and reveal the partisan nature of the impeachment assault.

Around August 2020 Nanzi Pelosi was already saying that she was open to impeaching Donald Trump because of his “mishandling” of the “Covid crisis”.

Donald Trump got 75,000,000+ votes last year AFTER their impeachment farce.

The majority of Americans have tuned out the dishonest media and the DNC.

The first impeachment was because of Trump mentioning Biden in his phone call with the President of Ukraine. He probably only knew about Biden’s role because of the video where Biden stupidly bragged about getting the prosecutor fired. So an open-and-shut case of corruption on Biden’s part but he and Hunter suffer no consequences, and instead it helps Biden...and results in a lot of cash for the family.
