As with the impeachment, the goal isn’t necessarily about convicting Biden, it’s about rehabilitating Trump. A frivolous impeachment or indictment serves them just as well as a serous one because then they can claim that all indictments and impeachment are frivolous, neutralizing the ones against Trump. It’s all about leaving an opening to both-siderism. ---

> [@Euphonious\_Polemic](#): > > I guess the “crime” he’s talking about is “Being Biden” or “Russian agents told us bad things about him” Nope. Biden’s clearly guilty of not being a Republican. And in their fever dreams for our country, that will be a crime starting 9 months. SO they wanted to get a head start on the prosecutions since there will be so many. ---

Can you believe all of the general, hard to specify corruption that Biden has been up to, and diligent Republican inquisitors can’t bring this home? That Biden; he’s a crime committing legend to have gotten away with it all. (One would think that Republicans might even admire and envy him for it.) ---
