The surest sign that the Biden family enrichment scandal is getting serious is the growing desperation and gaslighting that increasingly characterizes the spin being deployed on behalf of the president from elected Democrats and unelected Democrats in the ‘news’ media. We laid out Monday’s developments in this post, which I’d encourage you to read if you’re catching up on this story. We included some of the new talking points from the White House and Democrats, some of which were immediately and dutifully ingested and regurgitated by certain journalists. I’d like to focus on a handful of components of the new and evolving conventional wisdom, the guardians of which can no longer simply declare this all a non-story. They’re flailing, which is, in turn, revealing:
(1) Let’s recall that Joe Biden said this in August 2019: “I have never discussed, with my son or my brother or with anyone else, anything having to do with their businesses. Period.” This was one of multiple times Biden denied any knowledge of, conversations about, or connections to his family’s lucrative money-making endeavors involving foreign ‘business partners’ and benefactors. At least nine members of the family have received payments from overseas, many routed through a complex series of shell corporations, totaling in the millions of dollars. In many cases, the goods and services supposedly rendered in exchange for these cash infusions is shrouded in mystery. Now that multiple accounts and witnesses with personal knowledge have confirmed that Joe Biden was on numerous phone calls with Hunter Biden’s international business associates, as well as attending in-person meetings and meals, Biden’s categorical claims from the campaign are null and void. Even the sycophants aren’t trying to maintain that deception anymore.
I’ll also note that other major assertions made by Joe Biden during the 2020 campaign, including on the presidential debate stage — that Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation, and that Hunter didn’t make any money from China — have since been exposed as completely false. As we pointed out last week, the White House has seamlessly pivoted from Biden’s ‘no conversations, ever’ line to a dramatically different denial, stating that the two Biden men were never “in business” together. This could very well also be a lie, but it would be a lie that’s tougher to disprove than Biden’s broad-based and now-shattered lie. Other Democrats and journalist allies have already skipped to the next step, which is to say that of course Biden had lots of contact with his son’s overseas business partners, something that has been known for a long time. The goalposts aren’t being dragged a few inches here. They’re being uprooted and planted at the other end of the field:
Biden going Dooown !!!! Along with his Dirty Govt Co-conspirators !!!!!
