White House Counsel Throws the Goalposts Off a Cliff With Carefully-Worded Response to Biden Shakedown Message
Red state ^ | 6/23/23 | Bonchie

Posted on 06/23/2023 7:12:03 PM PDT by CFW

Joe Biden’s White House Counsel has responded to the now infamous WhatsApp message that allegedly placed the president in the room while Hunter Biden shook down Chinese officials.

As RedState reported, within 10 days of that exchange, $5.1 million was wired to Hunter Biden, of which some portion of money was then sent to James Biden, the president’s brother. Congressional investigators are still working to track down just how much deeper the money went.

When pressed on the matter, the White House comms shop refused to answer any questions. Chaos broke out in the briefing room as reporters tag-teamed to keep asking Karine Jean-Pierre whether Biden was actually in the room or not. Repeatedly, the press secretary referred the press corps to the White House Counsel’s office, who she insisted had already answered the question.

So what was that answer? It involves picking up the goalposts surrounding Joe Biden’s past statements on his son’s business dealings and throwing them off a cliff.

I'm posting this article to say that the "powers that be" may have given the press the signal that it is time to remove Biden from the White House.

The White House press corp is pretending they have just today heard of possible corruption by the Biden family. They were almost unrelenting on KJP today.

In addition to the video in the article above, take a look at the one here:

The reason they have this ignorant and lying person as Press Secretary is that she is a minority AND a lesbian. Any criticism of her and her lack of answers and intellect can be responded to with accusations of racism and “homophobia”.

Pretty soon even PBS kids shows will have to admit that Joe is a bribe-taker.

Don’t worry Speaker McCarthy will run cover for Joe and his gang.

Bribery is one of the precursor (aka predicate) crimes that can create a RICO investigation.

The comments at the Clay Travis twitter thread are pretty funny.

“No bra, and nipple piercing are now the STANDARD
for the BIDEN Whitehouse”

and

“I just called the DMV to inquire about my car’s registration. They referred me to the White House counsel’s office as well.”

No worries. Joe will still collect a pension.

Yeah, we have to remember that the PTB aren't monolithic, they have their factions too, and one of those factions is perfectly happy with Gropin' Joe in office while the rest find it an existential threat (and are right). The DoJ - what a joke - finds itself unsure whether to defecate or go blind on this one.

Joe needs to go, but it will take 2/3 of a 50/50 Congress to force it, and which faction can turn that or prevent it will be the one that prevails. These are the sort of decisions that are relegated to sleazy backroom deals between even sleazier people which we are accustomed to seeing in third-world shitholes, no way to run a country like the United States but unfortunately the mire pit into which the political establishment has thrown the people who entrusted them with power. I weep for my country.

"Don’t worry Speaker McCarthy will run cover for Joe and his gang."

Yes indeed!
The tenacity of our benevolent communist rulers in imposing more & more tyranny is unmatched by those (GOP) seeking (supposedly) to protect our Constitutional freedoms & liberties...

If I were the Power Behind the Throne, here is what I would do.

I would get SloJoe to hang on until the August recess. During the next month, if I haven't done it already, I would make Kamala an offer she can't refuse: she can be President from August 2023 to January 2025 as the FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT!!!, but she will "choose" not to run for election.

I would then go to Newsom, and tell him he is going to announce his run for President on Wednesday, September 6. All other Dem candidates will be bribed to get out of the race and endorse Newsom, with the singular exception of RFKJr, who will not be allowed to win (cf. "Bernie Sanders").

Having set all of this up ahead of time, I would then give Jill Biden her choice: she can get Biden to fake a medical emergency and be 25th Amendment-ed out of office, or I would ensure that he would experience an actual medical emergency and not survive to be 25th Amendment-ed. She would most likely choose the former, but I frankly wouldn't care either way.

Oh, Trump? Why would it matter to me? My candidate is going to win the election, honestly or otherwise.

“Don’t worry Speaker McCarthy will run cover for Joe and his gang.”


McCarthy and many (most?) of the GOP seem to be doing an excellent job of covering for Biden so far. Where are the demands for answers? Where are the non-stop press conferences that the democrats would be having (and are having) regarding Trump? The GOP is piss-poor at playing defense and simply abandon the field when it comes to playing offense.

The Deep State held this stuff on the Biden’s for 6-7 years.

But they are now feeding it out via their regular stenographers in the WashPost and NYT.

You’ll really know the knives are for Biden when elected Democrats announce that the evidence is “serious” and the need for a “Special Counsel” to investigate.

“The President was not in business with his son” is a huge walk down from former claims by Joe Biden that he had never even discussed with his son any business dealings. It’s also a very coyly-worded statement that seeks to provide an out when the current scandal inevitably grows larger.

The sudden new description that Joe Biden wasn’t “in business” with his son is no accident and is, in my view, purposely worded to obscure what the real issue is. No one has ever accused him of being “in business” with his son. Rather, the accusation centers on whether money from his son’s corrupt dealings got funneled back to the current president. That’s the whole enchilada in this situation and what congressional investigators are digging into at this very moment.

Something orchestrated will happen soon to replace talk of this. Whatever it is will be the fault of ultra MAGAs.

Of course it will. Also, I thought we were now MEGA-MAGA’s!

I hope I’m not wrong. I’ve already ordered my T-shirt!

Gingrich warned against impeaching a POTUS other than WITH the tide of public opinion.

McCarthy seems to have been biding his time.

It appears this time that the donkey party itself will end up begging to be the one tasked with taking out the trash.

In the absence of Brandon, RFK Jr. is shaping up to be a very big Newsome-displacing fly in that future Donkey-annointing ointment.
