Media’s covert protection of scandal-plagued Bidens comes to light while still protecting president and Hunter
What a desperately presumptuous act it’s for the White Home Counsel’s Workplace to blast out a memo ordering media organizations to use the blowtorch to Republicans and defend Joe Biden within the impending Home impeachment inquiry.
The marching orders went out Wednesday morning underneath a blaring headline: “MEMO TO EDITORIAL LEADERSHIP AT U.S. NEWS MEDIA ORGANIZATIONS.”
Ian Sams, the grandly titled particular assistant to the president and senior adviser and spokesman for White Home Counsel’s Workplace, declared: “It’s Time For The Media To Do Extra To Scrutinize Home Republicans’ Demonstrably False Claims That They’re Basing Impeachment Stunt On.”
Speak about ungrateful.
The White Home is making overt what has been covert, and humiliating their media handmaidens within the course of.
That part of the media that should have been scrutinizing the president moderately than overlaying him have to be scratching their heads, and red-faced with embarrassment.
They don’t want a public rallying cry.
They already know what to do.
They’ve been carrying water for Joe Biden since he first shuffled out of the basement.
The White Home memo insists there’s “merely no proof that Joe Biden did something mistaken” and affords as proof that there’s no proof quotes from a herd of deaf, dumb and blind RINOs, like Ken Buck, (R-Colo.): “The proof doesn’t exist proper now;” and Don Bacon (R-Neb.): “We have to have extra concrete proof.”
The memo was accompanied by a 16-page so-called “file” during which the FBI, Washington Submit, New York Occasions, NBC, CNN and Related Press are quoted liberally again to themselves exonerating Joe Biden within the counterfactual post-truth parsing of language that passes for journalism lately at these previously august outfits.
As Home committees and whistleblowers have piled proof upon proof of wrongdoing, corruption and coverup that hyperlinks again to Joe Biden, these bastions of American journalism have behaved like a mixture of Mr. Magoo, Baghdad Bob, Sgt. Schultz and Monty Python’s Black Knight — and perhaps with a dose of the Three Smart Monkeys thrown in: “See no evil, hear no evil, communicate no evil.”
The White Home needs them to remain that approach, in order that half the voters stays in the dead of night.
Neglect the financial institution data, shell firms, SEC complaints, sworn testimony, IRS whistleblower statements, FBI informant information, emails, texts, WhatsApp messages, photographs, speakerphone calls, voicemails, White Home customer logs, Air Pressure 2 journey logs, Joe’s pseudonym electronic mail addresses and a parade of Hunter’s shady international benefactors lining up for handshakes with Joe in Beijing, breakfasts on the VP’s residence and dinners at Café Milano, to not point out hundreds of thousands of {dollars} in filthy international lucre for no discernible services or products aside from entry to Joe.
Gaslighting the nation
Democrats impeached Donald Trump over a single public telephone name.
“Together with his phrases and his actions, President Trump has indicted himself,” candidate Joe Biden mentioned on the time.
“By obstructing justice, refusing to adjust to a congressional inquiry, he’s already convicted himself in full view of the world and the American folks.”
However on the subject of impeaching Biden, the media is instructed that there’s merely no proof.
Gaslighting the nation is the Democrats’ solely protection.
And with stalwarts like David Ignatius at The Washington Submit and Morning Joe of los angeles la land, pulling the pin on Joe: “You’re too previous, retire already,” the White Home is panicking.
For years they mentioned there was “no proof” Joe was concerned in Hunter’s scams.
Now they are saying there’s no “direct proof,” as Rep. Dan “mini-Schiff” Goldman put it when he self-corrected within the one sound chunk final week, or, as The New York Occasions put it, “no agency proof.”
Truly, there’s loads of proof, agency, direct, circumstantial, delicate, and all the things in between.
Simply the type of proof Goldman used to prosecute folks in his former life as an assistant US lawyer within the southern district of New York.
The White Home may have prevented all this unpleasantness if that they had simply informed Biden to return clear and clarify to the American folks simply how Home Oversight Chairman James Comer, and all of the whistleblowers, and Hunter’s ex-business companions, and all of the documentary proof, are mistaken.
Perhaps he has a easy rationalization.
If he has carried out nothing mistaken, he have to be livid at this besmirching of his legacy. Any harmless man in his place would need to come out loud and defiant and clear his title.
Fortunate for Joe, he’s president so everybody would pay attention.
However he can’t preserve pretending that he is aware of “nothing” about Hunter’s scams, and pretending he wasn’t concerned.
Twenty speakerphone calls and two Café Milano dinners and a dozen different conferences beg the query.
The White Home tried to string the needle on the lies with a brand new type of phrases after Hunter’s former greatest pal Devon Archer’s testimony.
The president wasn’t “in enterprise” along with his son.
Denial is a river in Egypt, too.
Loopy like a bathrobe
The president wandered round in India and Vietnam in the course of the latest G20 in numerous states of befuddlement and lucidity.
We’ve turn into used to the yoyo-ing grip on actuality of our aged commander-in-chief.
You marvel generally if the president’s waxing and waning cognitive skills are one thing extra than simply medicine or sundowning.
He’s pretty lucid when he must be, in a debate, or a uncommon press convention or interview.
He might need the gait of a stiff 90-year-old however foreigners who’ve been in conferences with him at worldwide conclaves say he was targeted and in command, barely referred to notes and was deferred to by the likes of Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
May or not it’s that we’re seeing the outlines of the previous “bathrobe” protection that mob boss Vincent Gigante used to get the feds off his again within the ’60s? Vinny the Chin, a okay a the “Oddfather,” used to wander round Greenwich Village in a bathrobe mumbling and pretending to be loopy.
Perhaps, when the gig is lastly up on a lifetime of Biden grifting, previous Joe will resort to Plan B, and be identified with dementia.
Then everybody will really feel sorry for him and activate his persecutors.
Depart the previous man alone!
All kidding apart.
Not a joke.
Give it some thought.
