A Major Biden Administration Scandal Is Brewing
By Bonchie | May 06, 2021 2:30 PM ET

If you are someone who has paid attention to politics over the last decade, you understand the disparate treatment different administrations get when it comes to scandalous activity. In regards to Barack Obama, he literally had his appointees out lying about a terrorist attack that killed four Americans, and the media still claim to this day that his biggest scandal was wearing a tan suit.

When it came to Donald Trump, him receiving two scoops of ice cream became a bigger story than Obama’s targeting of conservatives via the IRS. At one point, Ivanka Trump said something nice about Goya Foods, and the news industry lost its minds claiming she had violated ethics rules.

That’s relevant because it’s in stark contrast to how a major, brewing scandal is being treated in relation to the Biden administration. As RedState reported weeks ago, there are serious issues surrounding millions of dollars in stock owned by Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm. That stock is in Proterra, an electric vehicle company that is being actively promoted by the Biden administration. Further, Granholm being the Secretary of Energy means she gets to make regulations that can directly enrich herself.

Now, the story has gotten worse as Granholm appears to have reneged completely on her pledge to sell her stock and leave the board of the company in question.

A Biden scandal?  No way. He is one of the kings of avoiding scandal.  He along with the Clintons and Obamas will always remain unscathed.

Since she probably has ten copies of Hoover Biden's laptop, no one in the government is going to investigate her.

I guess not yet.  Maybe she will eventually get around to it.

Biden touts electric car company potentially worth millions for his energy secretary
https://www.cnn.com/2021/05/06/politics/granholm-proterra-electric-car/index.html

...Asked about the conflict of interest in a recent interview, the former Michigan Democratic governor said she "had nothing to do with" Biden's tour. She also again committed to divesting her stock options -- something she pledged to do within 180 days in the ethics agreement she signed when joining the administration.

But despite the fact that the company is slated to go public soon, her plan to follow through on this promise has not been disclosed....

If a major scandal fell in the forest would anyone hear it?

I love the way Democrats always get "the benefit of the doubt."
