Now Biden gets his very own special counsel — 35 Comments

  1. The fix is in. Biden crime family has control of the government and I wonder what the chances of an honest election are in 2024. We became the Soviet Union so quietly that even I did not notice until 2020 and the election. I think Hillary was so confident in 2016 that she did not activate the fraud machine. Now they are warned and will leave nothing to chance. The recent Arizona election was an example.

  2. Biden’s sports car? Funny. It was a sports car that led Jill’s first husband to figure out that Joe was having an affair with Jill. Joe dinged it driving it and had to get it repaired. The repair guy told Jill’s husband.

  3. Yes, it will all go away with no real consequences, and yes, the fix is in. Our moribund republic of 2023 (with numerous political prisoners currently being viciously mistreated in DC’s Gitmo) is closer in spirit to the old USSR than is today’s Russia, corrupt though the latter may be. There exists in America not one single system or institution or organization of any importance in which a rational person can place any real trust, nor can one feel any confidence whatsoever in our electoral process, the likelihood of the charismatic and competent Kari ultimately prevailing being nearly nonexistent.

  4. Let me take a wild guess; if impartial investigators examined the files possessed by the Clinton’s or Obama’s (either at their homes or offices) they would find all sorts of classified documents.

  5. Neo:

    Thanks, I hadn’t seen that. Nevertheless, Trump’s track record concerning his appointments does not inspire confidence, even with a few bright spots.

  6. I believe US Attorneys are chosen upon the recommendation of the Senators of the District they will be working in. As such, Hur was “Trump-appointed”, but he was nominated by two Democrat senators.

    Needless to say, the MSM will use the first description but never, ever point out the second.

  7. Neo, the last sentence: “And then there’s this:

    And then there’s : what?

    But in the meantime: Who sends expensive lawyers to look through the garage for classified documents? Or were they found some other way?

  8. Biden, through his lawyer will claim that he directed an aide (preferably deceased) to properly handle the documents return. Any failure to do so was thus the responsibility of the deceased aide… Biden of course was too busy with his duties to go behind aides to make sure they’d properly handled every little task to which he directed them. Case closed…

  9. If this were actually a serious offense, we would probably need to investigate all the presidents going back to Roosevelt.

  10. I am not seeing the video either-just a black rectangle. Could you post a link? Thanks.

  11. The part I find utterly amazing. Is every time Trump does something “unprecedented” or “treasonous” or whatever descriptor the press attaches to his actions.

    They invariably aren’t. It generally ends up showing that Trump acts like most humans (with a higher spite factor I would add). He makes mistakes, does both good and petty things. And once given power tends to abuse it somewhat.

    What I think really rankles them is that it appears that more so then nearly every other part of the swamp. He was on the up and up. Sure there was some level of shadiness involved as I would imagine most people of his status must engage in. Yet even after every ridiculous investigation, every spurious accusation, every underhanded tactic. He was basically clean. I suspect much cleaner than most of his accusers.

    His real sin appears that he publicity holds himself in very high regard. And is correct in his assumptions and actions at a much higher level then they are.

  12. If this were actually a serious offense, we would probably need to investigate all the presidents going back to Roosevelt.

    FDR, TR, or both? I’d go back as far as Wilson at least.

  13. No he wanted to break the rice bowls that isnt allowed trump is a blunt instrument that was interrupting the party

    Look at the collateral damage they are willing to accept to keep him out the collapse of every institution that matters mass privation and proletarizatiob

  14. Chuck: “If this were actually a serious offense, we would probably need to investigate all the presidents going back to Roosevelt.”

    Yep. This is political porn.

    I once had a Top-Secret clearance. Had to read all the TS messages that came into the Air Wing aboard the Midway. Most of it was over classified. Today it’s probably worse. Really sensitive stuff like the names of agents inside enemy organizations or capabilities of the newest weapons systems, or nuclear codes are only seen by a very few “need to know” people and held very close. Most of the other stuff has an expiration date or becomes obsolete info. Yet, it stays classified.

    IMO, both Special Counsels should do their work quickly and as privately as possible and get this over with. It’s political porn for the bases of the parties.

    I’m much more interested in the Biden grift than any mishandlings of classified docs. I doubt that his Special Counsel will look into that.

  15. Here’s another good report from Fox News today.

    Lots of dots to follow.

    Also, from Matt Taibbi, a Blast from the Past on the Mar-a-lago raid in August of 2022.

    We’ve reached the stage of American history where everything we see on the news must first be understood as political theater. In other words, the messaging layer of news now almost always dominates the factual narrative, with the latter often reported so unreliably as to be meaningless anyway. Yesterday’s sensational tale of the FBI raiding the Mar-a-Lago home of former president Donald Trump is no different.

    As of now, it’s impossible to say if Trump’s alleged offense was great, small, or in between. But this for sure is a huge story, and its hugeness extends in multiple directions, including the extraordinary political risk inherent in the decision to execute the raid. If it backfires, if underlying this action there isn’t a very substantial there there, the Biden administration just took the world’s most reputable police force and turned it into the American version of the Tonton Macoute on national television. We may be looking at simultaneously the dumbest and most inadvertently destructive political gambit in the recent history of this country.

    The hugeness of the story has become part of its explanation. An action so extreme, we’re told by expert after expert, could only be based upon “pulverizing” evidence.

    Throughout the Trump years we’ve seen a numbing pattern of rhetorical slippage in coverage of investigations. The aforementioned Politics Insider story is no different. “Likely” evidence in the headline becomes more profound in the text. An amazing five bylined writers explain:

    Regardless of the raid’s focus legal experts quickly reached a consensus about it: A pile of evidence must have backed up the warrant authorizing the search.

    They then quoted a “former top official in the Justice Department’s National Security Division” — you’ll quickly lose track if you try to count the named and unnamed intel spooks appearing in coverage today — who said, “There’s every reason to think that there’s a plus factor in the quantum and quantity of evidence that the government already had to support probable cause in this case.”

    It’s amazing how short our cultural memory has become. Apparently few remember all the other times this exact rhetoric was deployed in the interminable list of other Trump investigations, only to backfire later.

    Although some Republican push-back at the time mentioned Obama’s trove of “approved” classified documents at his Presidential Library (or not; the Archives was never really clear about their physical location), but even they didn’t speculate that Biden was violating exactly the same laws at exactly the same time.

  16. Not really a laughing matter; but sort of funny – watching that clip that Biden sort of defended where the documents were found because it was in the locked garage next to his Corvette which he keeps in a locked garage.

    Oh well, that makes it okay, since he keeps his Corvette locked in the garage we know that the documents were safe then! (snarky off)

    I’d like to say that this claim that is was okay since the garage was locked is a sign of his senility; except he seems to have had this kind of chutzpah his whole life.

    This clip of Biden talking about a locked garage also reminds me of when Hillary “joked” about wiping the computer clean with a cloth. Or when her husband claimed to have smoked pot; but he didn’t inhale!

    Just how stupid do they think we are that we cannot see through their garbage? This kind of nonsense galls me as much as their crimes!

  17. At some point, perhaps we will realize this appointing of special prosecutors by unelected bureaucrats to investigate the elected office holder subverts democracy. It is not that the elected official shouldn’t be investigated, but it is a shame Congress gave its Constitutional authority to do so to the bureaucracy. In a sane world, Congress would be looking into this to determine the reasonableness of the entire classification system as well as the potential crimes of the official.

  18. it is a shame Congress gave its Constitutional authority to do so to the bureaucracy

    Is that what happened? I think it was more that the executive branch inherently has the powers of enforcement, and the special prosecutor thing was a way to show some “independence” in the investigation.

    The root of our problem lies with human behavior. Our system of government only really works with a virtuous culture.

  19. Not really a laughing matter; but sort of funny – watching that clip that Biden sort of defended where the documents were found because it was in the locked garage next to his Corvette which he keeps in a locked garage.

    The documents at Mar a Lago were locked up, too. And even inspected by the feds who recommended an additional lock.

    But also, you can’t claim the Mar a Lago documents were still classified, since as POTUS Trump had unlimited authority to declass them.

  20. Let me take a wild guess; if impartial investigators examined the files possessed by the Clinton’s or Obama’s (either at their homes or offices) they would find all sorts of classified documents.

    Point of correction: it should be “marked classified documents”. No way to prove the documents a former POTUS has is still classified if they say otherwise, unless the documents date from after they left office.
