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...

It’s not a “compliant” media. The media and the Democrats are the same.

Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

Instead, the whistleblower was selectively being spoon-fed information from Alexander Vindman, the expatriate U.S. Lt. Colonel, who, in the midst of his accusations, admitted he was offered the Ministry of Defense by the Ukrainian government.

Vindman, currently in the second round of his careerist Ukrainian melodrama, is self-appointed CEO of his middleman company, seeking to profit from the war by facilitating the transfer and service of arms from the U.S. government to Ukraine.

As much as I read, I do not think I have ever seen the above information in written form. I learn something new from each article.

Three cheers for Prof Hanson!

Son of a bitch, you stole my thunder. You’re so right Vinny, the Chin Gigante will be his defense. He was made for this because he doesn’t have to fake it.

VDH always does a great job summing up the facts and connecting the dots. One likely scenario that he left out is that Joe Biden drops dead. Hunter loses his protection. Republicans go forward and impeach a dead president to damage the Democrats. After all democrats set the precedent by impeaching Trump after he left office.

I could not even begin to imagine the king’s ransom this nation destroying Vindman is paid daily for his skullduggery. Laundering, facilitating, stealing, murdering, warmongering jack of all seditionist, profiteering trades.

I read your VDH article and almost immediately started getting pop-up ads for "Israeli girls looking for American husbands"

VDH: One of the Biden strategies is to (a) deny, then (b) hedge, then (c) ignore, then (d) grow silent—and then (e) repeat the wash/rinse/spin cycle...... stonewalling as many times as necessary to evade the mounting truth.

One of Biden's most effective strategies is The Delaware Way: everytime we catch him or Hunter
with their pants down, Biden heads toward his media flunkies and proceeds to jovially laugh it off.

The Biden Crime Family’s particular brand of in-your-face extortion really takes the cake.

Crackhead son Hunter gets a lucrative seat on a corporate board in Ukraine
and pockets tens of millions of dollars from the Chinese Communist Party.

Hunter wasnt hired b/c of his practiced expertise in whoring, drug use, and other obscene
failings. It is because he has been taught how to collect bribes from foreign foes.

It makes it so much easier with the FIB covering for you and persecuting your political adversaries.

No doubt, but what Biden has been doing for years is so over the top unethical and corrupt it was bound to catch up to him. He can blame Jill, if she didn't commit elder abuse and push him to run for President NONE of this would have happened. Perhaps it was a sneaky way for Jill to get back at Hunter....

It's not Joe's defense that matters, it's the Deep State's defense.

The Deep State will have Harris 25th amendment him and act as president. Or they will kill him and make it look old age related.

While the Deep State and complict media will continue to.lie about Bidens involvement and continue their unrelenting campaign to get Trump, they cannot cover up Old Joe’s painfully obvious dementia. To all but the hard core leftists, Joe is a befuddled doddering old man who is not in control and dependant on his handlers to even walk on stage. The other factor is the economy. No one can deny things have gotten worse under Biden and inflation and energy prices are at a breaking point. The hoards of illegals are now coming g to even liberal enclaves like New York and people are fed up with the cost of these freeloaders and the crime and squalor that comes with them.

It has become more than Joe Bidens corruption that will drive this next election. I foresee that neither Biden nor Trump will be the candidates in 2024
