Victor Davis Hanson: How Biden Will Circle the Wagons - As impeachment becomes inevitable, the President's defense schemes are predictable
American Greatness ^ | 18 Sep, 2023 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 09/18/2023 4:35:08 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The strategies of saving the Biden presidency from an impeachment and a Senate trial despite overwhelming evidence of his corruption are starting to emerge.

The Family is confronted with damning evidence from the laptop, from the testimonies of Hunter’s business associates Bobulinksi and Archer, from Ukrainian oligarchs and Viktor Shokin, from IRS whistleblowers, from FBI writs, from a likely pseudonymous Biden trove of 4,000 emails to his son and associates, and from the absolute paranoia of a White House that must constantly change its narrative of denials to adjust to a growing portrait of utter corruption, bribery, and perhaps even the treason of warping U.S. policy to fit Biden family interests.

The Defense in Depth

One of their strategies is to deny, then hedge, then ignore, then grow silent—and repeat the wash/rinse/spin cycle of stonewalling as many times as necessary to evade the mounting truth.

Do This Every Evening And Fungus Will Be Gone In A Week 1 Simple Trick To Cut Your Electrical Bill By 90% Insidiously Joe Biden has retreated from his once loud protestations that he supposedly had no idea of what Hunter and his associates were doing. Such a patently dishonest denial set the model that the President would have no compunction about lying to the American people until the evidence of his wrongdoing becomes overwhelming.

But this first line of defense did not crumble for years—only to be replaced by a second line of denial: Biden may have known of Hunter’s shenanigans, but he had no business interests with him. That was another blatant untruth.

And that additional stalling also allowed Biden to ignore the closing walls of incrimination for even more months. When these two forward lines of defense collapsed, as the Biden consortium knew they eventually would...

The impeachment of Traitorjoe needs to include multiple charges of giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

If the GOP works as hard to impeach him as they did to defend Trump, Joe has nothing to worry about.

The one about fungus seemed appropriate, given the subject of the article...

Ahh, the "best" defense for a Democrat:

...but that he [Biden] did nothing other than what scores of other high-ranking politicians do who rub shoulders with would-be miscreants, sycophants, and crooks...

"See? Everyone else is doing it, too? Why don't you go after them?"

October surprise is taking shape. The Torricelli gambit will be used to bring in Biden’s replacement once debates are done and the replacement cannot come under any scrutiny from Republicans. Also, there will be no need to fundraise since the change in and of itself of candidate will generate all the positive press. Plus there will be no need for the candidate to visit any states.

It will be textbook Torricelli.

If things get too bad we’ll be treated to video of old Joe wandering aimlessly about in public in his bathrobe and slippers, mumbling incoherently to himself like mob boss Vincent Gigante, “The Enigma in the Bathrobe”.

There’s a lot of truth to that defense.

Nothing Joe Biden did is any different than what goes on as “business as usual” in Washington. The only difference with Biden is that he is so cheap, lazy and stupid that he used his own defective son as the conduit for his bribes instead of laundering the money through non-profit organizations, think tanks, etc. the way other leaders in Washington have been doing it for decades. Just do a quick search on organizations like the John McCain Institute or the George Bush Institute to see how it’s done.
