Hopefully as we speak marks the tip of maybe essentially the most spectacular failure within the historical past of congressional investigations, the hassle to discover a excessive crime or misdemeanor dedicated by Joe Biden after which to question him for it. In prior hilarious episodes of this long-running madcap sequence, America bought to see the next:
- One, almost 20 truth witnesses who couldn’t determine a single act of wrongdoing by President Biden, a lot much less a excessive crime and misdemeanor and who overwhelmingly testified that Biden was not concerned in any of his household’s enterprise adventures.
- Two, three skilled witnesses known as by the bulk itself, who stated nothing that they’d seen within the tens of 1000’s of pages of paperwork, produced by the bulk even remotely method the extent of excessive crime and misdemeanor.
- Financial institution data which present precisely what all of the witnesses instructed us, that Joe Biden was not concerned in his relations companies.
- Repeated voyeuristic shows of pornographic photos by the Majority fully irrelevant to any conceivable legislative or investigative goal.
- A star witness, Gal Luft, who turned out to be a Chinese language agent and an unlawful arms trafficker on the run from American justice.
- And the important thing piece of proof floor, which launched the whole zany goose chase, and FD-1023 Kind, wherein the FBI duly recorded a very fictional tips on a $5 million bribe to Vice President Biden peddled by Alex Smirnov, who has been criminally indicted by a Trump-appointed US Legal professional, Particular Counsel David Weiss, for felony counts of systematically mendacity to the FBI in establishing a false report about Joe Biden and now sits in jail in California as a flight threat whereas the world research his lengthy standing and intensive ties to Russian intelligence.
At this time, the great Chairman and his ace MAGA detectives have lastly jumped the shark.
