"The president’s participation in enriching his family is, in a word, abuse of the highest order," Comer said. "I want to be clear: This is an investigation of Joe
The Big GuyBiden
...46th president of the U.S. S You're a lyin' dog-faced pony soldier...
, and that’s where our focus will be next Congress."
That’s a very big idea, which guarantees he will face very big resistance in trying to reveal the evidence and shape public Âopinion.
The White House is lining up a social-media defense operation and Democrats in Congress will rally to the cause, but the biggest hurdle for Republicans will be the lefty overlords who control Big Media and Big Tech. Already the Praetorian Guards are signaling their allegiance to the president and a willingness to use their power to downplay, distort or hide the facts, just as they did with The Post’s initial laptop revelations in the final weeks of the 2020 presidential campaign.
They got Joe Biden elected and they’re not likely to abandon him now. Besides, telling the truth about the president would be admitting that Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
was right about something, and that is forbidden.
BORING & UNTRUSTWORTHY
The most dramatic expression of the current willful blindness comes from the News Agency that Dare Not be Named. As I have noted, the wire service used to be boring but trustworthy. Now it’s boring and untrustÂworthy.
An AP weekend story about the GOP plan picked up by numerous outlets was full of the usual tropes about "conspiracy theories" regarding the Bidens and ignored Comer’s statements about probing Joe Biden, making it seem as if the focus would be only on the son.
The story also contained the following: "Joe Biden has said he’s never spoken to his son about his foreign business, and nothing the Republicans have put forth suggests otherwise."
Fake news alert!
As pure opinion in a news story, the clause is a breach of the AP claim to be a purveyor of straight news.
More important, the breezy statement that there is no evidence that Joe spoke to his son about the business is easily disproved by well-known facts AP news hounds and editors must be aware of.
There are scores of emails, Âphotos and messages on the laptop and elsewhere showing Joe was directly involved in helping his son’s business. They traveled to China together in 2013 on Air Force Two when Joe was vice president, a trip where Hunter scored a $1.5 billion investment from a Chinese bank controlled by the Communist Party.
