Electoralism/Democratism

Is Biden finally in trouble?

By Tom Woods

It’s probably a function of my ideology, but I don’t pay much attention to individual cases of corrupt government officials.

I assume the general lot of them are corrupt. I’m more interested in the laws they pass and the agencies they create that have a direct impact on the entire country.

Yet this Biden corruption story is finally gaining legs, and I’m finally paying attention.

The last straw seems to be a threatening message from Hunter Biden to a Chinese associate, at the conclusion of which a bank account linked to Hunter received a $5 million payment.

You may have read it, but it went like this:

“I am sitting here with my father and we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled. Tell the director that I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand, and now means tonight…. And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction. I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.”

Alan Dershowitz says “it would be an impeachable offense if, in fact, Biden sat next to his son and heard him make that demand for money. We don’t know whether it’s true. ‘A,’ I don’t know. I haven’t heard the tape. ‘B,’ I don’t know if Hunter Biden was telling the truth when he said he was sitting next to his father. There was probable cause. There has to be an investigation.”

So today, for all of you who are like me and know at most the basic contours of the various accusations, I offer you this excellent summary from my old friend Tom Elliott, who was producer of the Peter Schiff Show years ago when I used to fill in for Peter as host (and indeed that’s how many of you first encountered me).

Tom runs a media service called Grabien that I highly recommend. It “offers a full suite of tools for hosts and producers (TV, radio, podcasts), corporations, PR firms and media personalities, and just hard-core news junkies.” Whatever clip you want to find, you’ll probably find it there.

Here’s Tom:

The more we learn about the 2020 election, the more undeniable it becomes that Biden owes his “victory” to blatant political corruption. To wit:

1) An IRS probe into the Bidens’ money laundering payments from hostile nations — the normal outcome of which would have ended his candidacy — was instead given a stand-down order

2) The FBI and IRS wanted to search Biden’s house in September 2020 but were given a stand-down order.

3) The FBI authenticated Hunter’s laptop a year before the NYPost first reported on its contents.

4) Rather than use the laptop’s voluminous documentation of myriad felonies to initiate criminal investigations, the FBI hatched a plot to warn social media companies of an imminent “hack and leak” operation of what they heavily suggested was Russian disinformation.

5) The FBI used its 2016 Russia collusion probe — which the Durham probe has since proven was essentially an extension of the Clinton campaign — to rationalize its meddling in the 2020 election.

6) The FBI also conducted an influence operation with various reporters at major newspapers to convince them that forthcoming damaging reporting about Biden that they knew was true was in fact not.

7) The FBI was spying on Giuliani when he shared the laptop’s contents with the NYPost

8) When the FBI told Twitter and Facebook a Russian disinformation campaign was coming, they had already concluded Russia wasn’t trying to game the election.

9) In their attempt to corroborate their own rumor of Russian electoral influence, the FBI became aggressive with its demands for user data from Twitter, eventually getting shutdown for seeking users’ private info without a warrant .

10) Nonetheless, in the preceding years, the FBI established a beachhead inside Twitter, with an operations center of former agents who communicated via their own dedicated slack channel. These ex-agents included Jim Baker, the FBI’s former top counsel who played a central role in the FBI’s Trump/Russia scam, as well as Comey’s former chief of staff, Dawn Burton, who started the FBI’s Russia collusion probe.

11) The CIA, in collusion with the Biden campaign, seeded disinformation claiming the laptop was itself Russian disinformation. The major media used this as a pretext to avoid reporting on its contents and instead attack those who were.

12) The FBI also arranged a meeting with Sens. Grassley & Johnson about supposed Russian disinformation & Hunter Biden.

13) The FBI then used this briefing with the senators to justify quashing their own agents’ probe into the Bidens’ corruption.

14) When the story broke mere weeks before the election — one that polling later indicated would have altered enough Democrat votes to send Trump to a second term — Twitter and Facebook orchestrated an unprecedented & anti-democratic mass censorship campaign. 15) When Twitter initially resisted censoring the story, it was Jim Baker who convinced them to do so (despite the FBI having known for a year the information was true).

16) In December 2020, after the operation’s success and Biden’s “victory,” the FBI agents working at and with Twitter celebrated the outcome.

17) The FBI subsequently paid Twitter $3.5 million for the staff hours expended on their influence operations.

18) At the time Trump was being impeached for asking Ukraine to investigate Biden’s alleged corruption in Ukraine, the FBI and IRS already knew the Bidens had indeed laundered more than $10 million from Burisma, via fake companies and dozens of bank accounts, while at the same time VP Biden had used U.S. aid as leverage in getting the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating Burisma fired.

P.S. And that’s to say nothing of Democrats orchestrating a state-by-state campaign to change voting rules to enable the widespread adoption of voting boxes… Left-wing activist groups, funded in part by Facebook, facilitated the exploitation of these drop-off boxes on behalf of the Democratic Party. That part may not have been illegal since they simply changed the rules, but it’s especially shady since it was done alongside federal health agencies then-knowingly overstating the threat of Covid, which was used as the rationale for the change of rules in the first place.

P.P.S. And this is just what we know despite the feds’ best efforts. Imagine how much we don’t.

This all speaks for itself. In case it doesn’t, I’ll be talking to the great Jim Bovard about it on the forthcoming episode #2358 of the Tom Woods Show.

And we’ve got smart people talking about it inside the Tom Woods Show Elite, where the world’s remaining sane people converge.
