And the vindication of former President Donald Trump begins.
The headline bursting on the scene Thursday afternoon at Newsmax read this way:
Hunter Biden Indicted on 3 Firearms Charges
At Fox it was this:
Hunter Biden indicted on federal firearms charges after plea deal collapse
The indictment can be found here.
The indictment news was everywhere. Fox summarized it as follows:
Biden was charged with making a false statement in the purchase of a firearm; false statement related to information required to be kept by a federal firearms licensed dealer; and one count of possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance.
Over there at the Washington Times, star commentary editor and columnist Kelly Sadler laid out exactly what else is being uncovered about the House of Biden in a column published before the announcement of the Hunter indictment. Her headline:
Whaddya know? Trump was right about Biden family corruption all along
Latest impeachment inquiry about accountability.
Sadler begins with this memorable quote from then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi as she moved to impeach Trump for his phone call to Ukraine’s then-newly elected president, Volodymyr Zelensky. A call in which Trump was inquiring about Biden family corruption in Ukraine. Sadler writes:
“The president should be held accountable,” then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on Sept, 24, 2019, just short of four years ago, opening a formal impeachment inquiry into then-President Donald Trump over a telephone call he made to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who had just been elected president of Ukraine. “No one is above the law.”
And right there is the driving force behind both the indictment of Hunter Biden and the expanding and multiple House investigations into the operations of the Biden family.
It is very safe to say that this indictment is only the first in a wave of discoveries into exactly how corrupt this family has been over the decades when it comes to using Joe Biden’s public offices for family profit.
Hilariously, as Pennsylvania Rep. Scott Perry, chair of the House Freedom Caucus, was doing a presser about the then-potential impeachment inquiry, he was questioned by an off-camera reporter who was trying to say the impeachment inquiry was only about political revenge for the two Trump impeachments.
Characteristically, Perry would have none of this nonsense. The Western Journal (among many outlets) described the Perry eruption this way:
Perry then gave a masterful, fire-breathing answer filled with references to actual evidence against Biden. “This isn’t about political revenge. We have the bank accounts,” Perry began. Bank accounts do constitute good evidence, but Perry’s second item showed how deliberately incurious the establishment media must be. “We can see — ma’am — you can see that the homes that the Bidens own can’t be afforded on a congressional or Senate salary. You also understand that it’s not normal for family members to receive millions of dollars from overseas interests. Those things aren’t normal,” Perry added. Citizen Free Press rightly regarded this portion of Perry’s response as damning to the Bidens. “The homes that the Bidens own can’t be afforded on a Senate salary. You understand that it’s not normal for family members to receive millions of dollars from overseas interests. That’s not normal,” Citizen Free Press wrote in a paraphrased version of Perry’s statement.
…
Need more evidence? Consider Biden’s own words. “And we also have the president on — the vice president at the time — on record saying that the prosecutor was fired. ‘Well, son of a b****, the prosecutor was fired,’ right? Because the prosecutor was going after the company that his son was working on,” Perry said.
One of the many lessons to be drawn from all of this is that then-President Trump was 100 percent right to ask the new president of Ukraine for information about the Biden family’s play-for-pay game in Ukraine.
And to stop him from getting the truth, Democrats impeached him.
But now the first cracks in the operation of the Biden crime family have been opened with this indictment.
It is a safe bet that those cracks will widen. As the New York Post’s ace investigative journalist Miranda Devine described it, what’s coming is “Watergate on steroids.”
And, in the face of a superstorm of calumny, not to mention the weaponization of the justice system, former President Donald Trump is emerging vindicated.
Buckle in. The deluge gathers.
