So a senior White House go-fer sent a memo to the leftist Mainstream Media to remind them to get the story straight on the GOP’s impeachment inquiry of Sleepy Joe Biden.
And getting the story straight means toeing the White House line. Joe Biden has done nothing wrong, no matter that he’s intimately tied into Hunter Biden’s planetary business empire, which the drug-addled sex addict built by selling the Biden “brand.”
The Biden “brand,” of course, is Joe Biden’s name, power, and influence.
Yet the memorandum is as amusing as it is politically stupid. No one in the Biden White House could have possibly thought the media would do anything but what the memo demands without being told.
As for the GOP impeachment inquiry, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy apparently isn’t clear that impeaching Biden for what he did as vice president might be a nonstarter. Better idea: Impeach him for aiding and abetting an illegal-alien invasion at the southwest border of his own country.
The Memo
The missive is from Ian Sams, who appears to have consumed a little too much soy and carries the flamboyant title “Special Assistant to the President and Senior Advisor and Spokesman for White House Counsel’s Office.”
That’s the long way of saying he’s the mouthpiece for Biden’s in-house attorneys.
Anyway, after listing nine GOP turncoats who don’t want to impeach Biden, Sams got down to business. The pro-Biden media needs to be really, really pro-Biden in covering the GOP’s impeachment inquiry. Apparently, it isn’t pro-Biden enough now.
“It’s time for the media to ramp up its scrutiny of House Republicans for opening an impeachment inquiry based on lies,” Sams wrote:
When even House Republican members are admitting that there is simply no evidence that Joe Biden did anything wrong, much less impeachable, that should set off alarm bells for news organizations.
In fact, plenty of evidence suggests that Joe Biden has profited from his son’s business empire, but that aside, Sams then explained to the worthies of the leftist media their duty to Biden.
“It is the responsibility of the independent press to treat their claims with the appropriate scrutiny. Covering impeachment as a process story — Republicans say X, but the White House says Y — is a disservice to the American public who relies on the independent press to hold those in power accountable,” he continued.
Sams fretted about “liars and hucksters” who retail “lies from Facebook to Fox,” and so the media must be doubly sure that they go beyond “process stories.”
Of course, the allegations of impropriety are “unfounded” and mostly “actually disproven.” Sams helpfully included a comprehensive account of the “7 key lies” on which the GOP will base the impeachment.
Wrong Impeachment Subject
As the impeachment itself goes, the question is whether a president can be impeached for what he did before he took office.
“The allegation that a former vice president and current president may have been complicit in an arguable extortion plot is a serious one that requires further investigation,” wrote Harvard professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz:
In the unlikely event that it were confirmed, it would raise a profound, difficult and unresolved question of constitutional interpretation: namely whether a president can be impeached and removed for a high crime committed before he assumed the presidency.
Extortion or attempted extortion is a high crime akin to bribery and thus — if proved — would be a constitutional ground for impeachment if it had been committed by a sitting president during his presidency. But what if it had been committed earlier?
The extortion was Biden’s threatening to withhold $1 billion in loan guarantees from Ukraine if the prosecutor who was investigating Burisma Holdings, which paid Hunter Biden a small fortune, wasn’t fired.
Thus, Biden’s refusal to enforce and violations of black-letter U.S. immigration law — his aiding and abetting an illegal-alien invasion of the United States — is the better means to impeach him.
The list of Biden’s high crimes and misdemeanors on immigration is nearly endless. He has repeatedly ordered his officials to violate the Secure Fence Act (SFA) and Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Alejandro Mayorkas, secretary of Homeland Security, violates the SFA by not maintaining “operational control” of the border.
By releasing millions of illegals caught at the border, Biden violates Section 235 of the INA, which requires all illegals, including asylum applicants, to be detained.
Plus these:
- U.S. Customs and Border Protection created a smartphone application, CBP One Mobile, to permit illegals to apply for asylum before they leave home and present themselves at the border.
- In February 2022, Mayorkas rewrote federal immigration policy law to stop deportations.
- Immigration officials have worked with Mexican authorities to coordinate mass swims across the Rio Grande.
- Those officials created an illegal “parole,” now the subject of a lawsuit filed by Texas and nearly two dozen other states, that will free more than 300,000 Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans annually into the United States.
- Biden has contracted with airlines and bus companies to transport and dump illegals into towns and cities without the knowledge or consent of local authorities.
- Biden and his underlings have also violated the law that forbids aiding and abetting an illegal alien, 8 U.S. Code § 1324 — Bringing in and harboring certain aliens.
And that isn’t the complete list of Biden’s brazen violations of immigration law that he and his officials brag about.
With all that, one would think the GOP had enough not just to depose Biden, but to deport him with the illegal aliens he has imported and released.
