Benjamin Hall is a handsome Brit who did foreign affairs for Fox News, was grievously wounded early in the Ukraine war, has recovered (minus a leg and the other foot), and is now back at work. Last night I saw his interview with SecState Antony Blinken on Bret Baier’s Special Report.
Hall asked the SecState about allegations that Blinken, as an official in the Biden election campaign, was involved in the infamous letter signed by 51 former intelligence officials claiming the Hunter Biden laptop story had “all the earmarks of Russian disinformation.” Contrary to allegations made by some signatories, Blinken told Hall he had no involvement. At this point, it is sort of “he said, she said.”
In the process of answering, Blinken claimed in his current office he does not do politics, which is perhaps narrowly technically correct, but misleading and irrelevant to Hall’s question. For he was asked about Blinken's actions in a former position - in the Biden campaign - where his role was essentially pure politics. It was a clever bit of misdirection by Blinken.
Power Line’s Scott Johnson shares allegations Blinken has lied about his involvement with Hunter Biden “in sworn testimony to Congress,” a federal felony, if proven. Of course Biden appointee Attorney General Merrick Garland will not pursue the matter.
I believe we have to consider the possibility that Joe Biden is running for reelection because his continuing in office is the only way to keep members of his family and entourage out of prison. Alas, my poor country.
