Impeachment?
President Joe Biden is already on thin ice. I have no idea why he or his troubled son wants to jump and down.
I am referring to the news that SALON is reporting:
Biden's
lawyers on Wednesday sent letters to the Justice Department's National
Security Division and the Delaware attorney general's office calling for
an investigation into "individuals for whom there is considerable
reason to believe violated various federal laws in accessing, copying,
manipulating, and/or disseminating Mr. Biden's personal computer data,"
including former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, former Trump adviser Steve
Bannon, and other allies of the former president, according to NBC News.
The Justice Department pursues the investigations that they feel are warrented.
The
child of a sitting president should never, ever have his/her attorneys
contact the Justice Department requesting that they carry out an
investigation.
Does no one get what an abuse of power this is?
Does no one get how this looks?
That's before you include in that he is asking them to target a private citizen:
The
letters also called for an investigation into John Paul Mac Isaac, the
Delaware computer repair shop owner who said that Biden left his laptop
and never retrieved it.
Hunter's
father is their nominal boss (We The People are actually their boss).
And he is contacting them about John Paul Mac Issac?
This doesn't pass the smell test and it doesn't look right.
We
should all be outraged by this. I checked Twitter to see if Jonathan
Turley had weighed in. He hasn't. Apparently, he's deformed his once
great mind by working for FOX NEWS.
This
is reality: A sitting president needs to tell his drug addict son (who
is supposedly back on the drugs, by the way) to sit his ass down. He needs to tell
him that the FBI -- whether Joe is president or not -- is not Hunter's
servant. This is so elitist, corrupt and outrageous that it is begging
for Congress to look into it.
I'm
sorry that Hunter Biden is a drug addict. I'm sorry that he slept with
his brother's widow -- and never thought how his then-wife or their
children would feel about it. I'm sorry that he goes on so many benders
he doesn't know what he did or who he slept with. I am very sorry for
Navy Joan and the way he refuses to recognize her -- his own daughter --
and the way he's trying to weasel out of child support -- yet again --
and arguing that she shouldn't have his last name.
Again: "Unwanted Number" from GRACE OF MY HEART: "They say he gave her his child, he wouldn't give her his name."
Here's Elvis Costello performing "Unwanted Number" (which he wrote) for his 2018 album LOOK NOW.
He is doing this while his father is president. That is outrageous. That goes beyond Deadbeat Dad.
But
with regards to the Justice Department? Nepo-Baby needs to grasp that
the letter itself is wrong and sends off the wrong impression.
I don't care who your father is, the Dept of Justice is not at your beck and call nor should it be.
Joe
Biden needs to call this out. His children have no right to impose on the Dept of Justice or State or anyone else. And the fact
that Hunter thinks he has that right suggest Hunter thinks he can
influence an outcome.
This
needs to be called out. I doubt what passes for the mainstream 'left'
will say a word. Don't expect Krystal Ball, for example, to grasp how
serious this is. Hopefully, Republicans in Congress will grasp the
serious nature and will call it out.
Hunter's action are antithetical to democracy. As President, Joe needs to address this an assure the American people that no special treatment, no favoritism will take place.
