The Plot Thickens

The House oversight continues to unearth Biden corruption.

Does that prove a pay-to-play for access to the American vice-president? It certainly would for any other instance under the FCPA or other bribery/influence-peddling statutes. If any of us engaged in this level of corruption, the Department of Justice certainly wouldn’t be shy about pursuing a prosecution.

Besides, what defense could the Bidens provide? What other purpose would foreign oligarchs spend these fortunes? Neither Hunter nor Archer had any special expertise in any of their fields. The only possible asset they could sell for the sums involved was access to The Big Guy — and VP Biden made sure they could make the sale.

This smells to high heaven, and thus far, so does the media response to it. American media outlets spent years chasing their Russia-collusion tales only to come up entirely empty. Here we have ample evidence of foreign corruption, and most of the media simply yawns at it.

They won’t cover it properly until they’ve decided it’s time for Joe to go.
