The Democrats and their toadies in the media are quick to point out any conflicts of interest that President Trump and his family may have with their business interests and his role as President of the United States. Of course, this same national and local media completely ignored the scandals of the Biden Administration.
Documents have recently been released that reveal that Vice-President Biden sought to bury an intelligence report that raised concerns about his 2015 trip to Ukraine. The CIA report revealed that Ukrainian officials believed that Hunter Biden’s involvement with Burisma Holdings exposed a double-standard in the way American officials dealt with foreign corruption. At that time, the Obama Administration was constantly berating foreign countries to stop corruption while the Biden family was the beneficiary of the same corruption with their influence-peddling schemes.
An email has surfaced from a CIA official that revealed that Vice-President Biden had asked that the CIA assessment “not be disseminated.”
Anyone who paid attention to the alternative media was aware that Hunter Biden was making $80,000 per month serving on the board of Burisma. Burisma was an energy company with contracts in Ukraine. At this same time, Joe Biden was the point person for Obama on energy issues in Ukraine. This was an obvious conflict of interest for the Biden family.
The mainstream media showed zero interest in covering the issue of corruption in the Biden family. The media would refer to anyone discussing Biden’s corruption with disdain. They would sneeringly refer to it as a “right-wing conspiracy theory.”
Even now the media refuses to admit it was wrong in refusing to cover the corruption of the Biden family. As soon as Trump was re-elected, this same media has been on a diligent corruption watch. They have made it clear that they would ignore any Democrat corruption in order to keep Trump out of office.
On our local level, when a columnist constantly claims to be a Republican while he criticizes our President, ask yourself why this same columnist never criticized Obama or Kamala while they were in office. I think we all know the answer.
For Democrats, nationally or locally, corruption only matters when it is a Republican that is being accused.
