Why the bombshell Joe Biden bribery allegation matters
By Monica Showalter
Sen. Charles Grassley's and Rep. James Comer's subpoena to the FBI to release an unclassified document it holds about a whistleblower allegation of a "criminal scheme" involving Joe Biden, is nominally about whether the FBI ever bothers to investigate allegations of crime involving Democrats.
And that's a well and worthy aim, given that Comer is the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, and Republicans are casting a spotlight on the illegal politicization seen in that law enforcement agency.
"We believe the FBI possesses an unclassified internal document that includes very serious and detailed allegations implicating the current President of the United States. What we don't know is what, if anything, the FBI has done to verify these claims or investigate further. The FBI's recent history of botching politically charged investigations demands close congressional oversight," Grassley said.
Did they do anything? Bribery, which is what Comer suggested the matter involved, is an explicitly impeachable offense. Did the bureau act on an actual bribery allegation by a whistleblower? Or did they kick back and yawn, focusing on pro-life activists, angry parents at school board meetings, Latin mass enthusiasts, and President Trump's disputes with the National Archives instead?
That's their job.
But the bribery allegation itself is worth looking at.
After all, many Americans want to know how Joe Biden accumulated a fortune worth tens of millions of dollars or perhaps hundreds of millions while in public office. The phenomenon of public officials getting rich while in office been going on for awhile, but under Joe Biden, the fortunes are getting bigger and the impunity is more shameless. The kind of money seen now is what used to be seen in public officials from places like Mexico, Brazil, Ecuador, Argentina, who often had traditions of running their ex presidents out of the country after leaving office.
Why aren't these people busted? We all know the answer to that one -- the politicized Department of Justice acts to protect leftist miscreants. We saw this especially vividly during the Obama administration, when official after official escaped accountability and often moved on to Big Tech jobs without consequences. Under Joe Biden, it's even worse.
