[Mercer] The Republicans are investigating the Hunter "Baaaden" affair, to imitate the repetitive intonations emitted by Fox News’ Australian journalist, about the "Baaaden" laptop.
Aussie reporter Miranda Devine nails it at the link above.
Deplorables, don’t be misled into this dummies-and-ditto-heads dead-end. This is vintage lightweight, GOP tit-for-tat distraction, on par with the Democrats’ ongoing January 6 production.
The Hunter Biden preoccupation amounts to, "They (Democrats) do January 6; we (Republicans) hack away at—or hit back with—Hunter Biden’s laptop from hell."
The outcome: The Democrats get what they want: détente. They neuter Deplorables, sending us down a political rabbit hole.
We gain nothing from such a foray. It’s zero-sum for Deplorables.
Legal scholar Jonathan Turley, whom I respect, disagrees. Turley, understand, operates within the philosophical parameters of the state. By and large, he believes in the extant integrity of American institutions, even confident that one party is more righteous than the other. When out-of-sync, the good party led by the right people, or so the good professor imagines, is sure to right wrongs through a congressional committee.
Wrong. Not for nothing do we call it the Permanent State, fronted as it is by evil and stupid-party operatives.
Correctly so, the matter of the FBI’s endemic corruption and bias has been settled both in the minds of deplorables and by the objective facts. (FBI Director James Comey anyone? Director Christopher Wray?)
If the GOP were seriously working for Deplorables, and not engaged in tit-for-tat political gotcha—they’d pursue First Principles driven congressional oversight.
