Flotsam and Jetsam - The Biden Crime Family, A Smoking Gun, Next to a Bloody Corpse

Stacy McCain finally gets around to looking into the Biden Crime Syndicate and finds A Smoking Gun, Next to a Bloody Corpse: Joe Biden Is Guilty! Guilty! Guilty! "You know it’s bad for Joe Biden when (a) even Washington Post “fact-checkers” admit he’s lying and (b) CNN can’t ignore it anymore." PJM's Matt Margolis asks Is This the Smoking Gun Proving That Biden Pressured Ukraine to Protect Himself? Matt Vespa at Town Hall, The Biden Ukraine Defense Collapses as memos show the State Dept. pretty OK with Victor Shokin's anti-corruption campaign, which included Burisma, before Joe intervened to get him fired.

Ed snarks "David Weiss will get to those videos … just as soon as the statute of limitations runs out on any potential charges."

Speaking of the 'Special' Counsel, Jonathan Turley writes of Garland’s Theater of The Absurd: Why the Hunter Biden Scandal is No Longer a Laughing Matter 

Garland decided to violate the regulations and appoint the most controversial person (with the possible exception of Hunter himself) to offer an independent examination of the case: Weiss.

While Weiss may be able to justify his actions or contest these allegations, he is clearly viewed as compromised by many in the public. He stands accused of running an allegedly fixed investigation and, now according to the Times, only pursued the “sweetheart deal” when whistleblowers moved to expose the allegations of special treatment for the president’s son.

Ace, Surprise! Very Special Counsel David Weiss, the Man Merrick Garland Assigned to "Prosecute" Hunter Biden, Worked With Beau Biden For Years, "I guess he forgot to disclose this possible conflict of interest. Whoops!"

From Da Lid, Whistleblower Puts DOJ On Blast After Biden Investigation Reporting. "As this whole shame of an investigation continues to unspool, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to look into whether criminal obstruction has occurred among some of the top players in this investigation — right up to Merrick and Garland themselves. If there was — and it sure looks like there could have been — the whole lot of them need the same public horsewhipping that Nixon’s administration got."  From the Wombat's In The Mailbox: 08.22.23, The Federalist: How Racial And Sexual Ideology Rapidly Infiltrated Southern Methodist University, Hunter Biden Special Counsel Appointment Is A Blatant Act Of Corruption, Transterrestrial Musings, Garland’s Theater Of The Absurd,

Ed asks Today's deep media question: Has Meadows flipped on Trump? Matt Vespa counters Here's the Person Who Just Flipped on Trump, "The person, identified as Yuscil Taveras, now says there was an effort to erase tapes and tamper with evidence." News Max,  Judge Napolitano to Newsmax: 'Absurd' to Make Trump Post Bail. $200k is absurd. He should direct his people to pay it in pennies. Capt. Ed, "I tend to agree. Bail exists to disincentivize flight from prosecution. Trump is in the middle of a presidential campaign; where would he flee? And even if he was inclined to flee, a $200K bond is a laughable disincentive for Trump. A round trip on his plane probably costs more than the 10% it would take to use a bail bondsman. Why not just release him on his own recognizance for a non-violent indictment?"  

Althouse, Rhetoric should be "hard to police." "I'm disturbed by this Washington Post headline: "In Trump cases, experts say defendant’s rhetoric will be hard to police." Let's read the text. Is it as oblivious to traditional free-speech values as it sounds?" Yeah pretty much. In their minds Trump is the exception in all things.

Stacy McCain worries THEY’RE CANCELLING BIG BUTTS? 

"It makes no sense, when the same “woke” brigades are trying to push feminist “body positivity” messages, that they’d cancel “Fat Bottomed Girls.” I reckon the idea is that, anything that men enjoy is inherently wrong, so that a song featuring men celebrating the “greatest treasure” of corpulent women must be bad. Well, honey, don’t you worry about it. Just have another plate of biscuits and gravy . . ."

Da Blaze catches a CNN writer vexed by conservatives' use of leftist terms. "CNN appears unwilling to admit that Americans have grown antipathetic to certain leftist terms on account of the loathsome and/or meritless concepts they signify. Instead, to make sense of the ongoing backlash to leftist terms and concepts such as "woke," "critical race theory," and "equity," senior CNN writer John Blake has penned an article explaining why Republican "verbal jiu-jitsu" is to blame . . . Mention almost any touchstone phrase adopted by the left in recent years ... and it has been redefined or tarnished by conservatives," wrote Blake, later equating today's conservatives with the Democrats of yesteryear who supported segregation."
