Proving a direct connection between Democrats and U.S. press, 34-year-old White House Spokesman Ian Sams urged the press to scrutinize the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees currently involved in an impeachment inquiry of 80-year-old President Joe Biden. No one at the Trump White House asked the media to look suspiciously at House Democrats led by former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) when the filed the first impeachment article on Trump for a phone call he had with Ukraine’s 45-year-old president Volodymr Zelensky in 2020. Trump asked Zelensky in the call if he had any information on Joe or Hunter Biden for their years of involvement in Ukraine. Because of Joe, when Obama’s Vice President, Hunter got a million-dollar job on Burrisma Energy Holdings board. How ironic that today’s impeachment inquiry is about Joe and Hunter dealings in Ukraine and elsewhere?
Image that, Trump questioned Joe and Hunter’s propriety in Ukraine when Biden now funds a $200 billion proxy war in Ukraine against the Russian Federation. Sams wants the press to “scrutinize” the GOP House impeachment inquiry into Joe and Hunter Biden all because the chickens have come home to roost. Whatever one says about Trump, he’s very direct, almost honest to a fault, when it comes to blurting out certain thoughts. Trump’s concerns about Biden’s corruption in Ukraine turns out to be valid, especially landing Hunter a million dollar a year job on Burisma’s board, without any energy experience at all. Sams wants the Democrat-friendly media to save Joe as he faces 2024 reelection. Imagine, Trump was impeached for a phone call. Sams thinks it’s all lies about Joe’s inappropriate dealings in Ukraine and elsewhere, saying no crimes were committed.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), 58, expressed outrage over White House attempts to sabotage the impeachment inquiry. Sams said in his letter to the liberal press “to ramp up its scrutiny of House Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies.” Republicans didn’t scream to the press that House Democrats require more scrutiny for their impeachment inquires of Trump. Democrats had no real high-crimes and-misdemeanors against Trump. How did Trump’s call with Zelensky constitute an impeachable offense? Trump’s second impeachable offense was inciting the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot. How was that an impeachable offense when Trump didn’t plan, organize or participate in any riot? Yet with Biden, Democrats know the implications of the House impeachment inquiry. It could show that Biden engaged in multiple impeachable offenses.
When you look at the nature of Biden’s alleged crimes, they go to the hear of presidential integrity. If Biden or his family took money from foreign governments, how can the U.S. trust the Ukraine War? If Biden enriched himself and his family in Ukraine, it’s possible Ukraine could blackmail him, demanding all the $200 billion paid by Biden in humanitarian and military aid to Ukraine. “It’s really concerning to me that the president, the White House is telling the press what to say. I think the press should be wanting to know the answers to. Did the president know when he went to dinner with his son that he would get a Porsche?” McCarthy told reporters. White House PR men like Sams want to discredit anything said that could upend Biden’s presidency or plans for reelection. McCarthy thinks it’s outrageous that the White House instructs the Democrat-friendly press what to do.
Democrats and the press are in denial that Joe Biden, while running former President Barack Obama’s Ukraine anti-corruption task force, manipulated Kiev officials to give Hunter and his former business partner Devon Archers a millions dollar a year job. Hunter admitted on ABC’s “The View” that his father helped get him the job. But Sams keeps saying the GOP case against Joe Biden is all “lies.” McCarthy pointed out that Hunter received a $140,000 payment from Kazakhstan oligarch Kenes Rakishev to buy a Porsche in 2014. House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) said millions paid by foreign governments to the Biden family were not for services rendered but for “access to the Biden network, including Joe Biden himself.” Democrats can’t stomach the fact that President Joe Biden worked closely with his son Hunter and brother Jim to net the family millions.
Jordan an Comer’s investigation into President Joe Biden are far worse than anything investigated of Trump by House Democrats leading to two articles of impeachment. If anything investigated by Jordan and Comer are verified, it means the end of the Biden presidency. Biden’s hard core backers in certain minority groups and on the hard left don’t care whether he’s committed high-crimes-and-misdemeanors but independent voters won’t send him back to the Whtie House. “Through our investigation, we have found that President Biden did lie to the American people about his own knowledge of his family’s foreign business dealings . . .” McCarthy said. No one can figure out why Biden would end decades of diplomacy, détente and arms control with Russia to fund a proxy war against the Kremlin in Ukraine. Biden’s dealings in Ukraine are what deserve more “scrutiny.”
