Now that Joe Biden has been forced to drop out of the presidential race, why should we still care about the corruption scandal that implicates him, his brother, and his son, Hunter Biden?
Because “the same people in the same corrupt institutions that protected him and allowed him and his family to do business and make millions of dollars from their enemies, especially from China, are still there,” journalist Miranda Devine proclaimed in the latest episode of her Drill Down podcast. “They still They commit evil deeds. still They have ill intentions. still “They don't have America's interests at heart,” Devine told co-hosts Peter Schweitzer and Eric Eggers.
Devines In October 2020, we reported on the infamous “Hunter Biden laptop.” New York Post It was heavily censored by social media platforms and fiercely attacked as “Russian misinformation” by mainstream media, national security veterans and partisan Democrats. It was all completely accurate.
In his new book, Devine shares what he knows about corruption in the Biden family. The Big Guy: How the President and His Son Sold Americadebuting this week.
In fact, Devine and Schweitzer have been two of the most prominent reporters on the Biden corruption case for many years.
Schweitzer points out that the Bidens' corrupt family business was protected by a media that didn't want to know the truth, a Department of Justice that wanted the statute of limitations to expire, intelligence agencies that would say and sign anything to stop Donald Trump from being re-elected, and prosecutors who wanted to dismiss the entire case as a misdemeanor firearms charge.
“There's a class of politicians in Washington, D.C., who are involved in these international deals, and a government apparatus that protects them,” Schweitzer told Devine. “Joe Biden, and Clinton before him, have perfected this model of international corruption, and if you can get away with doing something like this, everyone will follow and copy it.”
Devine agrees: “When there's no accountability for bad behavior, it naturally escalates,” she says. “Bad actors just get better at hiding their bad behavior and at how they do it.”
A classic example of a cover-up is what she calls the “Dirty 51 letter,” signed by 51 former US intelligence officials a month before the 2020 election, which claims that Hunter Biden's laptop and her article about it “bear all the hallmarks of Russian disinformation.”
Devine is ruthless in her criticism of what she calls the “Dirty 51 letter,” a clumsy attempt to brand the laptop story as disinformation, and which was signed by five former or acting CIA directors, “including the ubiquitous John Brennan, who has been involved in just about every dirty trick we've seen in the last decade or so.”
“We now know that the letter was approved at the highest levels of the CIA, by Director Gina Haspel and her Deputy Director, before it was sent, so this was not the work of a rogue group of operatives. It was approved by the CIA itself,” says Devine, who later learned that the FBI was also complicit in covering up her report.
Devine is investigating two assassination attempts against former President Trump. Article from JustTheNews The report said that Ryan Routh, the suspect who was arrested in Florida on suspicion of trying to shoot President Trump, was grilled by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents when he returned from Ukraine last year. Routh was made the target of further investigation based on statements he made to agents, but the Department of Homeland Security has refused to act.
He noted that the nation's national security agencies have been scrutinized before — pointing to the Church Committee in the 1970s temporarily reining in CIA excesses — but he firmly believes that another cleanup of the vast bureaucracy that has exploded since the 9/11 attacks is long overdue and critically needed.
