Who’s really behind the drive to impeach Joe Biden?
The same person who sought Zelensky’s help in digging up dirt on Hunter and Joe.
Friends,
Republicans hailed the indictment handed down by Special Counsel David C. Weiss last Thursday against Hunter Biden on tax evasion as a validation of their impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
But Republicans have still failed to link Joe Biden to any impeachable offense — or to any offenses at all. The 56-page indictment never mentions President Biden and provides zero evidence linking the misdeeds of the son to the father.
Nevertheless, House Republicans are pushing ahead this week with their plans for a vote to authorize the impeachment inquiry.
Isn’t it clear that the Republicans’ impeachment inquiry is retribution for the impeachments and indictments of former President Trump?
And that Trump is behind this?
After all, Weiss began investigating Hunter Biden five years ago as the Trump-appointed U.S. attorney for Delaware.
Around this same time, Trump asked Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to “look into” former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter, according to a White House memorandum of a July 25, 2018, phone call Trump made to Zelensky.
“There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that, so whatever you can do with the attorney general would be great,” Trump said, according to the memo.
Zelensky noted that Ukraine was “almost ready to buy more [Javelin missiles] from the United States for defense purposes.”
Trump responded: “I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it.”
That conversation with Zelensky was a central part of the whistleblower complaint that spurred Democrats to support an impeachment inquiry against Trump.
Trump and his Republican enablers would like nothing better than for the House to spend much of the spring conducting a drawn-out impeachment of Joe Biden. That way, Trump can deflect attention from his criminal trials.
And they’d like nothing better than for the Senate to consider whether to convict Biden in the months and weeks leading up to the 2024 election, for the same reason.
Although there’s not a scintilla of evidence linking President Biden to any high crime or misdemeanor, Trump and his allies know that the mere fact of an ongoing impeachment inquiry will generate enough media stories to confuse a portion of the public about whether Biden is guilty of something.
Trump will use that confusion to repeatedly accuse President Biden of being corrupt.
In other words, House Republicans will do for Trump in the 2024 election what Trump wanted Zelensky to do for him in the 2020 election — use dirt on Hunter as a way to throw dirt on Joe.
This time, Trump also wants to use the dirt to bury stories about Trump’s criminal trial for seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election, on which a verdict before the 2024 election seems likely.
The Putin Party are behind it!
Russia Ramps Up Attacks In Ukraine As U.S. Republicans Abandon Ukraine
Russia has fired cruise missiles targeting Kyiv, the Capital of Ukraine!
This latest attack comes as Russian State TV is actively praising our Republican lawmakers in the United States for obstructing attempts by Democrats to pass additional aid to Ukraine.
And Putin’s Bitch, Donald Dictator, is directing the Republicans! Half of our government is aiding and abetting Russia! Once again, Republicans are siding with Vladimir Putin instead of protecting our allies abroad.
From Heather Cox Richardson:
Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has disappeared. His lawyer says he was told Navalny was “no longer listed” in the files of the prison where he was being held, and Navalny’s associates have not been able to contact him for six days.
My BIGGEST concern is becoming the MEDIA who seem determined to throw Biden under the bus and democracy with it. Today CBS ran a clip multiple times of a 23 yo voter saying because of the policies Biden was exibiting toward "my people in Pallestine" he wouldn't vote for either Biden or Trump, even if his vote was the one that meant Trump would win. While I understand his anger and passion, he has not thought things through completely. He was born and LIVES in the USA. His refusal to vote for Biden is the same as the "revenge vote" that elected Trump the first time and nearly handed over our country to Putin & Co.. In his anger he is encouraging others to do the same,saying the Pallistinian community in Michigan is organizing against Biden. I doubt that any of them would voluntarily live in a facsist state, yet this is where we're heading if the media doesn't stop with their constant anti-Biden campaign.
