Democrats Deploy Desperate Anti-Trump Strategy to Try and Protect Biden During Special Counsel Hearing

This scenario might sound familiar.

Is President Joe Biden in legal trouble? Are current events reflecting poorly on Biden’s age, ability, or character?

Quick! Deflect by claiming that former President Donald Trump supposedly said this awful thing or did that awful thing, and then Biden will be completely exonerated of all wrongdoing he’s ever committed — ever.

Or at least, that seemed to be the thought process of New York Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler’s during Special Counsel Robert Hur’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday.

As seen in a video shared on the social media platform X, Nadler desperately tried to derail the proceedings on Biden’s mishandling of classified documents by playing clips demonstrating Trump’s supposed “cognitive decline.”

Nadler began, “And then, there is Donald Trump. What kind of man bungles not one, but dozens of opportunities to avoid criminal liability?”

Should Biden have been charged?

Blissfully unaware of how ludicrous his comments sounded in context, he pressed on, saying, “What must that say about his mental state?”

“Here, too,” he said, ready for his mic drop moment, “the record speaks for itself.”

He then leaned back in satisfaction as his lovingly prepared slideshow of Trump gaffes played for the committee — no doubt to the bewilderment of several of the people there.

Most of these clips consisted of Trump admitting he didn’t remember someone’s name, or bungling someone’s name, or failing to recall insignificant details from his presidency.

In other words, these clips Nadler clearly considers an epic takedown of the former president are just a compilation of memory lapses most of us struggle with on a daily basis.

And this series of clips ran for over a minute and a half.

After Nadler’s self-congratulatory slideshow ended, he resumed speaking, “That is a man who is incapable of avoiding criminal liability, a man who is wholly unfit for office, and a man who at the very least ought to think twice before accusing others of cognitive decline.”

That’s nice that you think that, Mr. Nadler, but what does that have to do with Biden hoarding classified documents in his rental home in Virginia?

How does playing a series of clips of Trump forgetting names or stumbling over words play at all into Biden’s guilt or innocence?

The hearing has nothing to do with Trump, and there was no reason for Nadler to use this hearing as a chance to vent his anger against the man.

Ironically, Nadler’s stunt works against Biden on the legal front.

Hur declined to prosecute Biden specifically because of his clear cognitive decline and memory problems: His memory was so bad that, despite willfully holding onto the documents, he wouldn’t be convicted by a jury.

Obviously, the prosecutors didn’t come to the same conclusion about Trump, otherwise he wouldn’t be facing the myriad of legal cases that he is.

Even if what Nadler said about Trump’s versus Biden’s memory is true (and anyone with working eyes and ears knows that it isn’t), that would then mean that Biden should face charges, too.

Not only was Nadler’s whole argument a gratuitous cheap shot against the evil “Orange Man,” but it ended up demonstrating the opposite of what he intended.

At the very least, Nadler did an admirable job of shooting himself in the foot.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor

The Western Journal
