Except when he’s aimlessly walking around the stage, President Biden utters the most despicable curse in the vocabulary, “Malarkey!”, to news stories he disagrees with. That was Barack Obama’s response to a reporter’s question last week about allegations that he made $5 million worth of illegal profits while he was Vice President.
Meanwhile, former President Trump has been relentlessly and, as usual, loudly insulting Special Counsel Jack Smith, who has been charged with illegally possessing and disclosing classified documents after his term as commander-in-chief expired. Mind you, the former president has also been accused of appointing the last Attorney General who has not similarly discounted the 37 indictments filed against him in Miami federal district court last week. I have insulted a person.
Indeed, both cases have their merits, and both raise very serious questions about the ability of individuals to hold such high office, and both issues should be pursued seriously.
The lawsuit against Trump was revealed in a 44-page indictment returned last Thursday. The document glows with details, including a photo of him, showing the former president’s blunt and decidedly unpresidential demeanor when considering classified national security information.
President Trump’s supporters, perhaps with some legitimacy, believe that accusing the former president solely of mishandling classified documents is, broadly speaking, more serious than the United States currently faces, both at home and abroad. He claims it’s not a problem. Trump’s advocates also declare with some persuasion that accusing Trump, not Hillary Clinton, of such crimes amounts to an unequal and two-tiered justice system. . They also accuse other officials, including Joe Biden, of not being treated as harshly as Trump.
All these responses to the indictment are valid to some extent. But nothing can erase what underlies the indictment: an inadequate and dangerously lax attitude toward the information on which our military and intelligence leaders rely to make war and peace decisions.
The fact that the security environment in which decisions are made matters, whether you like or dislike our foreign intelligence members, and whether the president or former president is a fan of the upper echelons of the Pentagon. does not change. At these levels, very real risks that endanger lives, relationships, resources and strategic options arise and must be respected and ignored. This is not a game.
The idea that a president should be allowed to whimfully declare that highly classified information is no more deserving of legal protection than Rand McNarley’s Roadmap is in the attributes of a would-be president. It shouldn’t, much less should it be in the attributes of a would-be president.provided As president. And blindly defending a former president who so coldly and almost gleefully ignores established, legally established procedures is an unwelcome act for a major political party.
Meanwhile, in the Capitol, a battle unfolds between the still-emerging Republican majority in the House and the highly established FBI over evidence of high-level corruption involving the then vice president and the current president of the United States. ing. Nothing but “Malachie”.
Joe Biden Allegedly Earned Millions of Dollars While Acting as Obama’s Vice President As The vice president is one of the most serious charges against a sitting vice president (or president). If true, such an act would be alarming in its impact on our country and our standing in the world.
So far, the American public knows nothing more than the reported “credible” FBI documents showing that such inconvenient acts took place.the mere possibility Evidence not yet ignored by the FBI or Department of Justice Existence deserves the most thorough and timely assessment by governments possible.
Rather, we see that virtually every meaningful inquiry taking place in any congressional committee, either the House or the Senate, in recent years has been hampered by a partisan stalemate infected by either the Republicans or the Democrats. witnesses, the stench of corruption will spread further. It goes far beyond borders and remains long past Biden or Trump’s tenure.
