Gregg Jarrett: Hunter Biden laptop scandal — Even if Joe Biden wins, there's no way out now
Joe Biden is hoping that he can limp across the electoral finish line by refusing to answer salient questions
By Gregg Jarrett | Fox News
Thanks to Hunter Biden, there's no way out for his father.
Even if Joe Biden, the Democratic presidential nominee, is elected president, damning evidence will continue to emerge that his grifter-son fully embraced the Washington tradition of shameless influence-peddling.
If nothing else, Hunter is a monument to greed. An ellipse should be erected in his honor.
But the unresolved and trenchant questions are: how much did Joe Biden know and to what extent was he involved in the illicit (if not illegal) schemes?
Joe will never answer. You can take that to his bank.
Biden, the elder, is hoping that he can limp across the electoral finish line by refusing to respond to those salient questions and by denouncing the incriminating evidence as "malarkey" and "a bunch of garbage." He scrupulously followed that script during Thursday night's presidential debate. He committed it to memory (such as it is). He deserves, I suppose, some credit for following directions.
With a lead in the polls, Biden will now surely retreat to his basement bunker trying desperately to run out the clock until November 3rd. Does he intend to nap his way through the scandal? Why not?
Time is on Biden's side. The disturbing revelations of what can only be described as rank corruption have come too late in the game.
Roughly 50 million Americans have already cast their ballots. They did so without the benefit of knowing that the man they may want in the White House has not been telling the truth about his con-artist of a son and the millions of dollars that son has pocketed by leveraging dear old dad's public office.
Joe Biden is also banking on people like Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., to disseminate false information to cover his tracks. Schiff is a veteran all-star when it comes to deceit. He spent three years claiming he had irrefutable proof of Trump-Russia "collusion" when he did not. His countless prevarications constitute an encyclopedia of lies.
Schiff's latest canard is that Hunter Biden's laptop is Russian disinformation. This was quickly and easily debunked by both the FBI and the Director of National Intelligence, not to mention sources on email exchanges discovered on the now infamous laptop. Yet, Joe Biden still tried to peddle the disinformation fable during the presidential debate.
How many uninformed voters accepted that thin gruel? Too many, I imagine. And Biden was counting on that --literally. "It's those damned Russians," voters may have muttered to themselves as they vowed to check the box for the Democrat nominee.
Biden has also doubled-down on his claim that he knew nothing at all about his son's notorious business deals --contrary evidence notwithstanding. It's as if the presidential nominee really does want voters to accept the invidious sobriquet that he's "clueless Joe." A more accurate description is "slippery Joe." He has elevated evasions to artistry.
