DANIEL VAUGHAN: Biden's Corrupt Presidency Joins The Dustbin Of History
In terms of explosive weeks of evidence related to the Biden administration, it'd be hard to top this one. In one week, we've had both the House and the Senate drop reports and evidence that point to the two ends of Biden's definition of justice. In terms of a lawless presidency, Biden fits the bill - everyone was only out for themselves, while the country suffered.
On one end, every major Republican and conservative group in America has been investigated by Jack Smith. On the other hand, Biden's health cover-up leaves open questions about his autopen decisions. When you put everything together, you're left with an unmistakable view of a presidency that warped everything to its own extreme ends.
If you missed these things this week, I don't actually blame you. The mainstream press hasn't covered any of it. This is the same press that walked blindly along on the health cover-up, something Biden's former press secretary and Vice Presidentare still trying to launder in media circles.
First is the House report on the Biden autopen scandal. In it, we learn that Biden's doctor is being referred for possible license loss. His highest-level staffers admitted they looked at reducing steps, having him undergo cognitive tests, and more. The concerns were clearly there.
Several aides were also financially incentivized to keep Biden in the role. The report clarifies that everything is in one place. It's also pretty clear Biden won't have to answer for anything, since he pardoned his family members and most of his staff pleaded the Fifth to avoid criminal prosecution.
But the broader point is that this was the Biden cover-up. There's obviously serious wrongdoing and questionable orders. No one can prove Biden was the one issuing the executive orders coming out of the White House. And no one can prove he was entirely in control of the job.
In short, Biden will be above the law. As will most of his staff.
On the flip side, we've learned about the increasing depth of the "Arctic Frost" investigation. The numbers are simply astonishing.
Senator Chuck Grassley announced, "I've obtained through legally protected whistleblower disclosures ... 197 subpoenas were issued by Jack Smith and his team. These subpoenas were issued to 34 individuals and 163 businesses, including financial institutions."
Additionally, "[He] subpoena requested records and communications related to over 430 individual and organizations — all of them appear to be aimed at Republicans," the Iowa Republican added, noting requests sent to the late conservative icon Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA and the Republican Attorneys General Association."
Smith's subpoenas included nine Senators and targeted multiple others. The targets included media organizations as well. In short, Joe Biden's Justice Department used Jack Smith and others to target essentially everyone on the Republican side of politics, no matter the involvement.
Multiple members of Congress compared this to Watergate, and it's hard to avoid those comparisons. This was the Democratic Party weaponizing the law to a startling degree for the express purpose of wrecking the opposition.
Democrats screeched about no one being above the law. But that's patently unclear. We witnessed Biden try to force the DOJ to cut sweetheart deals for his son, had the DOJ and FBI investigate all his political enemies, and then turned around and covered up his own health and unethical behavior. It's a gross abuse.
Whenever you bring this up to Democrats, they simply bleat out, unconvincingly at this stage: "But Donald Trump..."
But Donald Trump what? What does Donald Trump have to do with you wrecking the entire Department of Justice and the FBI? Further, what does he have to do with the cover-up of Biden's health, or the attempts to gift wrap sweetheart deals to Hunter Biden? Or even Biden's pardons at the very end?
Biden was in office for four years and ran one of the most corrupt administrations we've ever seen. On any objective basis, this is a far larger scandal than Watergate. Nixon didn't have the debased moral core to pardon his family and friends.
Now with Trump back in office, what does anyone expect Trump to do? Why would the people who kicked off this firestorm not need to have the fire turned on them for their actions? We're not talking about saints at all. Remember, "No one is above the law."
Early in the Biden administration, I wrote that he needed to follow Gerald Ford's example and pardon Trump, as Ford did for Nixon. That would have killed off all the lawfare and forced the country to move on. Ford did that, and Americans benefited from it immensely.
Instead, Biden turned the legal apparatus fully on Republicans, conservatives, and the press while using Trump as an excuse to do anything. In the meantime, he covered his own sins and those of his family. We're looking at one of the worst abuses of power in modern history. You'd have to go back to James Buchanan or the corruption of Ulysses S. Grant to find something similar.
It's a national scandal. Or, at least, it should be. But we all know why it won't, and that's a much deeper problem. The entire Biden presidency is a reminder that the Democratic Party aligned itself against any form of democracy or order at all and chose power above all. Everyone views themselves as the hero in their own eyes; I get that bias.
But the evidence is staring us in the face. History won't be kind to them; that's, above all, what we can say now.
