Joe Biden’s DOJ: Where Justice Goes to Die

“Have no doubt, corrupting the U.S. justice system to punish a former president and current candidate nudges the country ever closer to tribalism, chaos, and collapse,” Alan Dershowitz wrote in Wednesday’s Daily Mail.

The Department of Justice should be honest and call itself Biden Campaign Headquarters. As a fearsome whiff of East Germany wafts through its windows, this Cabinet agency persecutes Donald Trump, the president’s chief political rival, and keeps the heat off of the Bidens. Regardless, temperatures are hotter than July.

Special counsel Jack Smith’s four-count indictment du jour, unveiled Tuesday, aims to jail Trump for using First Amendment-protected free speech to challenge the validity of the 2020 election.

Never mind that Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, Chuck Schumer, and countless other Democrats challenged the validity of the 2016 election. They called Trump illegitimate and, for three years, screamed the knowingly false claim that he won only with Vladimir Putin’s help.

When will Smith indict these Democrats?

Never.

Smith hopes to lock up Trump for a “fake electors scheme,” even though Congressional Democrats opposed GOP Electoral College slates and urged their replacement with alternate Democrat electors from contested states in 1969, 2001, 2005, and 2017. They, like Republicans, had every right to do so. Under the banner of Unite for America, Martin Sheen, Noah Wyle, and other celebrities pressured pro-Trump electors in December 2016 to ignore their states’ voters, defect, and reject Trump in the Electoral College. 

When will Smith indict these Democrats?

Never.

Smith is also making it criminal to offer and accept legal advice with which the DOJ disagrees. American justice will implode if lawyers cannot counsel clients without fearing federal prosecution if the attorney general dislikes their arguments.

“Have no doubt, corrupting the U.S. justice system to punish a former president and current candidate nudges the country ever closer to tribalism, chaos, and collapse,” Alan Dershowitz wrote in Wednesday’s Daily Mail. Regarding Smith’s indictment, the Harvard Law School emeritus professor condemned the “speculative nature of its legal foundation and the absence of smoking-gun evidence.”

Smith’s 45-page indictment deserves to be entombed beneath the remnants of the Berlin Wall.

Smith’s charges arrived, most conveniently, one day after Hunter Biden’s business partner, Devon Archer, spoke with the House Oversight Committee. This follows a familiar pattern: When the Bidens feel the heat, DOJ immediately cools those flames with fresh accusations against Trump.

On June 7, new documents indicated that Ukrainian gas company Burisma paid Joe and Hunter $5 million each. On June 8, DOJ indicted Trump in the Mar-a-Lago secret documents matter.

On July 26, Hunter’s plea agreement unraveled. On July 27, Smith unveiled “superseding” Mar-a-Lago charges.

On July 31, Archer’s testimony torched the Bidens. On Aug. 1, Smith slapped Trump with Jan. 6-related accusations.

Nonetheless, the Bidens appear to occupy a ring of fire.

These crooks instructed IRS on May 15 to stop its 13-man probe of Hunter’s taxes. DOJ’s scrutiny of Hunter’s tax shenanigans was so glacial that statutes of limitations lapsed on his apparent tax evasion in 2014 and 2015.

My congressman, freshman Dan Goldman, D-N.Y., beclowned himself Monday by claiming that Joe Biden addressed “the weather or whatever.”

Biden could have analyzed the Phillies’ starting lineup. The point was that Hunter could get the then-vice president of the United States to answer his calls within three rings. Accessing “the Biden brand” was worth at least $10 million, which clients gladly pumped into the family’s 20-plus shell companies.

Joe added: “P.S. Happy you guys are together,” one assumes commercially, not romantically. Hunter and Archer then were partners in the Rosemont Seneca investment company.

“Your question- ‘why does Super Chair love me so much?’ is easily answered,” Hunter e-mailed Archer in 2011 about Chinese tycoon Che Feng. “It has nothing to do with me and everything to do with my last name (and I bring along very handsome Aryan godlike men wherever I go).”

Until it imploded last week, DOJ responded to all of this, and more, with a plea agreement for Hunter that resembled a day-spa visit.

As the saying goes, watching Congress make laws is uglier than a sausage factory. But the average kielbasa plant is a Michelin-starred restaurant compared to the Upton Sinclair-grade judicial slaughterhouse that Merrick Garland, Joe Biden’s de facto campaign manager, now operates where the Department of Justice once stood.

This article has been corrected to reflect that when Martin Sheen, Noah Wyle, and other celebrities spoke out about the election, they urged opposition to Donald Trump and did not advocate another candidate.
