Senator Ron Johnson and Senator Chuck Grassley are on the verge of providing America with the facts about Joe Biden’s official acts as VP during 2014-2015. Voters will be able to evaluate Joe’s judgment, especially when dealing with son Hunter’s cashing in on the Biden name, offers Kimberley Strassel in the WSJ.
Now Senate Democrats are trying to smear Sens. Johnson and Grassley for investigating Hunter Biden and his dealings with Ukraine.
The Wisconsin Republican (Johnson) seems among the few in Washington who understand that time may be running out for the GOP to get the truth to the American people—about Mr. Biden’s past dealings, about the FBI’s rogue operation in 2016, about actual sources of foreign influence. Any Republican who is not spending every available minute over the next 46 days declassifying information or holding depositions or hearings is letting down his constituents.
The unearned mileage Democrats continue to get out of the false “Russia collusion” claim is mind-boggling. They used it to gin up an investigation into their political opponents. They used it to try to discredit the results of an election. They used it to keep a three-year cloud over a presidency. They used it to give cover to the weakest impeachment proceeding in history.
Now, they are using it to muddy up straightforward questions about their own nominee for president. Mr. Putin poses real security threats to this country. Unfortunately, Democrats are turning the Russian danger into a joke.
