How many hours of breathless coverage were given to the Trump-Russia “dossier” that turned out to be nothing but fake opposition research paid for by Hillary Clinton? Compare that to the deafening silence in the mainstream media about the actual FBI evidence that Joe Biden has been bribed by Ukrainian businessmen, and it’s easy to see the score. Roger Kimball examines Joe Biden’s corruption in The Spectator, writing:
“Because that’s where the money is.” That was the answer that Willie Sutton, an expert in his chosen field, gave when asked why he robbed banks. Maybe the Bidens, Joe and Hunter, should consider employing a kindred candor about their business activities in Romania, Ukraine and elsewhere back when Joe was Obama’s VP.
So far, they have been disappointing on that score. Here’s the state of play: an FBI whistleblower revealed the existence of a complicated bribery scheme that allegedly funneled millions of dollars into the Bidens’ coffers via a network of at least twenty shell companies set up to launder the dough. The Oversight Committee of the Republican-controlled House subpoenaed the FBI for access to the particulars set forth in what the agency calls a “1023” form. At first, the FBI stonewalled. Finally, under mounting pressure from Congress, they relented, allowing members of the committee to read a redacted version of the form. Details are still scant, but the details seem beside the point, which can be crystalized is a single number: 5,000,000, as in $5 million, the amount of pelf said to have been deposited for Joe, with an equal amount bestowed upon Hunter.
Asked about the payments at a press conference, Biden laughed it off. Then “where’s the money?” he scoffed, adding that the whole money-for-influence charge was “a bunch of malarkey.”
“Are there tapes that you accepted bribes, President Biden? Is that true?”
