Make With the Impeachment Inquiry Already
If we might mock the Angry Left: “What do we want? Justice! When do we want it? Now!”
If you’re like us, you’re growing weary. You’re getting the sense that Washington is a rigged town with a two-tiered justice system — a system in which only those on the Right are held accountable for their wrongdoing.
Heck, sometimes they’re held accountable for wrongdoing they didn’t even do, or for actions that weren’t wrongdoing in the first place.
Democrats, though, get to walk even when the evidence against them is overwhelming, like it was with Russiagate’s Michael Sussmann. They get their verdicts from sweetheart DC juries whose electoral pool went 19-to-1 for Joe Biden over Donald Trump. And they get the kid-glove treatment from in-the-tank prosecutors like Delaware’s David Weiss, who dragged his feet for five years on a pair of cut-and-dried charges against Hunter Biden, tipping off defense attorneys about IRS search warrants, letting the statute of limitations run out on tax evasion charges, and woefully undercharging on a federal gun felony.
And Weiss’s reward for those miscarriages of justice? The Big Guy’s corrupt attorney general, Merrick Garland, has tabbed him as special counsel to run out the clock on look into the Big Guy himself.
As Sean Connery’s Sam Malone character said of Chicago in “The Untouchables,” “This town stinks like a [house of ill repute] at low tide.” Or, as Obi-Wan said to Luke, “You’ll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.”
It’s enough to make a guy cynical, to make him wonder: Why the heck would we even bother with an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden? He’ll never be convicted and removed by the Democrat-controlled Senate, and he’ll never get the justice that’s due to a man who sells out his country for Chinese and Ukrainian cash.
All that, sadly, is true. No matter how mountainous the evidentiary pile against Biden becomes, the Democrats will keep spewing forth denials that don’t pass the giggle test — denials like this one from New York Congressman Dan Goldman: “There is not a shred of evidence of a single conflict of interest of President Biden ever doing anything in connection or in relation to Hunter Biden’s business ventures other than advocating for the removal of a prosecutor general who was advantageous to Burisma.”
Not a shred of evidence, eh?
More recently, we’ve learned that when Joe Biden was Barack Obama’s vice president, he made plentiful use of fake names such as Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters, and JRB (get it, Joseph Robinette Biden?) in order to conceal his name on thousands of email correspondences, including many that included his son Hunter.
As the Washington Examiner reports:
National Archives officials have found as many as 5,400 records containing the pseudonyms President Joe Biden used while he was vice president, the agency said in a letter on Monday. A search of Biden’s vice presidential records found “approximately 5,138 email messages, 25 electronic files and 200 pages of potentially responsive records” for a Freedom of Information Act request filed last year in search of three email addresses Biden was known to use to conceal his name.
The Examiner added, “Biden used the email addresses [email protected], [email protected], and [email protected] to communicate at times during his vice presidency — including, on occasion, with his son.”
Why might an honest guy like Scranton Joe want to conceal his name within so many email threads?
We’d venture to guess that, like Hillary Clinton’s illegal private email server, the intent was to cover up pay-to-play influence peddling — hers at the State Department, and Biden’s in the White House itself.
In any case, House Republicans aim to get to the bottom of it — or at least get those emails out of the clutches of the National Archives and into the public domain, where their contents can at least be assessed and adjudicated in the court of public opinion.
“Joe Biden has stated there was ‘an absolute wall’ between his family’s foreign business schemes and his duties as Vice President,” said House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, “but evidence reveals that access was wide open for his family’s influence peddling.”
But that was two weeks ago. The evidence since then has continued to mount. As the New York Post’s opinion page editors rightly argue: “If Biden or executive-branch personnel who work for him try to block access to these emails, the only possible conclusion is that they hold clear evidence of wrongdoing. From the day our first laptop story landed weeks before the 2020 election, government insiders and much of the media have been covering for the Biden family. America can’t let the coverup continue all the way to the 2024 vote.”
Elsewhere within The Swamp, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy told his fellow GOP lawmakers on Monday that an impeachment inquiry is “the natural progression from our investigations that have been going on.”
Apparently, McCarthy “suggested the House would vote on opening an impeachment inquiry next month.”
Welp, “next month” begins on Friday.
