Sen. Lindsey Graham, in a series of tweets, said Congress ought to quit the impeachment madness and take a deeper look at Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and Ukrainian energy company Burisma Holdings and so forth and so on — and he’s right.
That’s after he called for a Senate investigation into the Bidens and Burisma and whether the money trail of one to the other led to any sort of quid pro quo with Ukraine’s government and so forth and so on — and again, on asking these questions, he’s quite right.
Perception counts.
If the Bidens had “Rs” next to their names, not “Ds,” the media would be all over this matter.
As it is, Graham’s call puts him out on a limb, where few others have perched.
“I think what’s going on in the House of Representatives on impeachment is a joke,” he tweeted. “It’s a one-sided process that lacks due process. We’re not going to allow Democrats in the House to destroy President @realDonaldTrump in a sham process.”
Sham is right. Impeachment is the sham that’s been perpetrated on the American people since pre-inauguration days. The latest attempt is Trump’s Ukraine telephone call — and that, even as eye-raising ethical questions about the Bidens have slapped in the background.
“I love Joe Biden as a person,” Graham continued on Twitter, “but we are not going to give a pass to what is obviously a conflict of interest. I believe Hunter Biden’s association on the Burisma board doesn’t pass the smell test. If a Republican was in the same position, they’d certainly be investigated!”
McClatchy, at the end of the quote, added this explainer: “… Graham said, who offered no evidence the Bidens had done anything wrong …”
Proof? How about a damn video with the former Vice President retelling, in his own words, how he extorted the Ukrainian government on behalf of his son. If Biden were a Republican the media would be playing this video clip on a 24/7 loop.
Honestly, this is so unbelievable it makes my head explode --- just a little bit.
