It was a republic. We couldn’t keep it.

The FBI and DOJ should be issued SS collar tabs.

What if Biden and Garland knew that he had a problem with classified documents earlier than the time line shows. They were looking at losing both the House and Senate and may have feared that this would all come out considering all the investigations that were promised by the Republicans.

So you raid Trump for the records he has, appoint a special counsel all as a way to provide cover for Joe?

Now they can say that they investigated everyone and (ala James Comey) at the end of the day decide that like a football game where you have offsetting penalties everyone walks away scott free.

Art of the deal!

“Biden’s using the same trick Crooked Hillary used,” Watters said. Watters was, of course, referring to former Secretary of State Election Denier, Crooked Hillary Clinton’s personal emails, which she famously insisted contained nothing but wedding planning and yoga — no classified materials and definitely nothing about Benghazi.
…
In other words, Watters suggested Biden’s lawyers turned over a sanitized treasure of tarnished treasures.

“Remember, you have your personal lawyers sift through what’s classified and what’s not, and then just hand it over to the feds,” Watters said.

“Here are the only classified docs we have,” he continued. “Trust me. The other documents are totally about yoga and Hunter’s wedding.”

He then went on to question the security of the Penn Biden Center, where the first batch of documents was inexplicably found by Biden’s attorneys.

“The Penn Biden Center might be the most corrupt place in D.C.,” he said. “Let that sink in. Biden hiding classified documents in garages and closets should be the least of Joe’s worries right now. And it may have nothing to do with why the disgraced FBI is getting involved. If you want to know the real story, you have to follow the money.”

Watters cited the work of author Peter Schweizer, who has diligently traced Biden’s alleged connections and deals with the Chinese Communist Party.

According to the host, Biden received $1 million from the University of Pennsylvania starting in 2017. The payout came after the school was gifted $50 million in donations from CCP-owned businesses.

“That’s what you get for $50 million,” Watters said, tracing the trail of money from Communist China to UPenn to Biden. “Communist China and Biden shut down investigations into Communist China, and then Biden appoints the UPenn president to be an ambassador.”

The host took his conspiracy theory to the next level, asking, “Could the disgraced FBI finally be blackmailing the Bidens?”

It’s an interesting take, though it’s obviously way too early to know if it has any teeth. Even still, Watters makes a compelling argument.

On Thursday, U.S. Attorney General Corrupt Merrick Garland announced an investigation into Biden’s potential mishandling of the classified documents, appointing Robert Hur as special counsel.
…
As Watters noted, Hur once worked under FBI Director Shady Christopher Wray.

“The classified documents are nothing compared to the Chinese paper trail,” Watters said. “In fact, this might be the real reason the disgraced FBI is getting involved. This could be Shady Christopher Wray’s revenge.”

Finally, by signing off on potentially uncleared counsel to do the search, the Justice Department minimized Biden’s own conduct. If this was such a serious violation, the Justice Department did not appear particularly concerned or motivated to correct it. It allowed private counsel to set the parameters of their search and will rely on their account of what was found and where.

This is standard operating procedure for the Democrat-controlled Swamp (there isn’t a better word for the cartel, which no longer operates clandestinely).
For other instances:

(1) Hillary Clinton’s lawyers were the only ones who examined her trove of bootleg emails and then deleted over 30000 despite them being under subpoena – no one was prosecuted or even seriously inconvenienced. She claimed they were personal and private, but when some were later forensically retrieved many were in fact work related and classified.

But, hey! — maybe all Biden had was recipes – only Whoopi knows for sure!

(2) The FBI allowed Crowdstrike to tell them what was going on with the hack of the DNC server, which the Bureau never examined.

I’m sure there are more examples.

Taken from the county jail
By a set of curious chances;
Liberated then on bail
On my own recognizances;
Wafted by a favouring gale
As one sometimes is in trances
To a height that few can scale
Save by long and weary dances;

If This Goes On there won’t be much remaining worth watching.
Which could be the intention, of course.
