It’s White House ‘Lawfare’

-

President Biden has always insisted he had nothing to do with the Justice Department’s move against ex-prez Donald Trump for his alleged theft of classified documents — but new informatio­n gathered by RealClearI­nvestigati­ons suggests that (as so often with Biden) this is likely a lie.

“I don’t want to get myself in the middle of whether or not the Justice Department should move or not move on certain actions they could take. I agreed I would not tell them what to do and not, in fact, engage in telling them how to prosecute or not” were Biden’s precise words to lapdog journo Scott Pelley in September.

A set of newly unredacted documents seem to tell a different tale. As early as August 2021, National Archives officials had gone whinging to Justice about the missing documents (including lobbing unfounded accusation­s that Trump had destroyed them — who is he, Hillary Clinton?).

In September, Archives muckamucks were meeting with top Biden lackeys like White House Counsel Dana Remus and possibly even then-Chief of Staff (and ultimate DC swamp reptile) Ron Klain.

Deputy White House Counsel Jonathan Su looks to have played an even bigger role on the WH end of the operation: He’s the one who, in January 2022, told an Archives official to get Justice started on a criminal referral over the docs.

Is the American public really expected to believe that all this happened with zero knowledge from Joe? The man who put fave lapdog Merrick Garland atop the DOJ and turned the FBI into a rent-a-thug outfit for scaring parents who dare to speak up at schoolboar­d meetings?

Note as well the Biden administra­tion’s ties to Trump’s other trials. One of the lead prosecutor­s on the absurd case he faces in Manhattan, where District Attorney Alvin Bragg has inflated a business-law misdemeano­r into a fake felony, is former Justice biggie and paid Dem political hack Matthew Colangelo.

And disgraced Fulton County DA Fani Willis, prosecutin­g Trump’s Georgia election case, spent an evening at the vice president’s manor for a TV gala. Sure, it may have been innocent. But given what we know about the backroom buddy-ups so popular among Biden and his cronies (to say nothing of Willis’ own predilecti­on for corruption), the appearance of coordinati­on is strong.

And don’t forget: Biden himself is guilty of stealing classified documents during his time in the Senate and as veep and stashing them all over the place, including a Delaware garage next to his beloved Corvette. Funny how all these defenders of democracy let that one slide.

So chalk up one more Biden mega-falsehood — one happily endorsed by a media eager to see Trump in prison — as the Democrats keep on chip, chip, chipping away at the rule of law.
