These days, the same thing might be said about the president of the United States.
At a crucial moment of his tenure, Joe
The Big GuyBiden
...46th president of the U.S. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run. On the other hand, he did abandon Afghanistan...
is repeatedly refusing to take questions.
The odd ducking and weaving have even the normally docile White House press corps in an uproar.
Why won’t he answer us, they demand to know.
The question answers itself — Biden won’t face the media because he’s got something to hide.
But as with Joe Louis’ opponents, running won’t work.
For despite Biden’s efforts, day by day, drip by drip, his dirty secret is coming into view.
With each new piece of evidence, it becomes more certain he was directly involved in his family’s influence-peddling schemes.
The latest developments also confirm something else — that elections have consequences.
The GOP victory that gave the party control of the House of Representatives is already producing crucial information that House Dems scandalously kept secret for more than two years.
Even the Department of Justice, supposedly investigating Hunter Biden
...son of President Joe: cashiered from the Navy, a crackhead, wheeler dealer, leg humper, horn dog, and general all around ne'er do well. We're supposed to feel sorry for him...since at least 2018, apparently wasn’t interested in major evidence hiding in plain sight.
Count all this as an example of how divided government usually works best.
Most important, the probers are doing it in the way made famous by Watergate — following the money.
Consider that a single Republican subpoena to Bank of America yielded key details on how a suspect $3 million payment from a Chinese energy company was divided among Biden family members and associates.
Hunter Biden and Jim Biden, the president’s son and brother, got the lion’s share.
But Hallie Biden, the widow of Joe’s late son Beau and Hunter’s lover, also got $35,000, the first time she is known to have shared in a windfall that might have totaled as much as $11 million, according to Sherlocks.
In the understatement of the year, GOP Rep. James Comer of Kentucky said, "It is unclear what services were provided to obtain this exorbitant amount of money."
Comer, the aggressive head of the Oversight Committee, has said repeatedly the probe is ultimately about Joe Biden and emphasized the point again on Thursday.
"The Oversight Committee is concerned about the national security implications resulting from President Joe Biden
...... 46th president of the U.S.
I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass.Don't say he didn't warn us......
’s family receiving millions of dollars from foreign nationals," Comer said.
"We will continue to follow the money trail and facts to determine if President Biden is compromised by his family’s business schemes and if there is a national security threat."
In a sign that Comer hit a nerve, his comments and the revelation about the $3 million rattled both Hunter Biden’s legal team and the White House, with each issuing statements that suggest new levels of desperation.
"Hunter Biden, a private citizen with every right to pursue his own business endeavors, joined several business partners in seeking a joint venture with a privately-owned, legitimate energy company in China," his spokesperson said, effectively confirming the payments for the first time publicly.
