The Worst Scandal in American History?
If the unfolding Joe Biden foreign-influence-peddling and general-corruption scandal isn’t the worst in American history, it’s certainly a contender.
A generation ago, Bill Clinton was exposed for authorizing the transfer of crucial U.S. military technology to Communist China, technology that enabled the Chinese at long last to build ICBMs that could reach the United States. In return, the Chinese showered Clinton with funds for his 1996 reelection campaign. So serious were the charges and so compelling the evidence that Republicans in the House launched a campaign to impeach the president. Ultimately, the notion that our own president would sell us out to our sworn enemy was too much for official Washington to handle, and the focus shifted to Clinton’s lurid affair with Monica Lewinsky. So-called Chinagate was consigned to the Washington memory hole. But today, Communist China is armed to the teeth with ICBMs targeting American cities, and has also enjoyed an unprecedented 20-year economic boom thanks to its accession to the World Trade Organization in 2001 — an event largely facilitated by Bill Clinton before leaving office in 2000.
Fast forward two decades, and once again we have as president a venal Democratic insider, a career politician who has somehow amassed a considerable fortune over his many years in the Senate and the White House. Yet despite a veritable treasure trove of overwhelming evidence incriminating him and many family members in a transparently corrupt pay-to-play scheme with the likes of our old foe Communist China, as well as kleptocrats in Ukraine and Romania, Biden and his minions at the Department of Justice and on Capitol Hill continue to insist that there’s nothing to see here.
