The problem here, outside of the networks being liberal activists, is that what Biden did isn’t technically “illegal”.

when Frank and Jesse not only have the keys to the bank vault but write the banking regulations, nothing they do will be illegal.

the sweetheart deals have been going on for a couple of centuries. Corrupt, suspect, underhanded...of course. Illegal, no

asking another country to help in our elections is nothing new and has been going on for nearly as long. And we have interfered in other countries elections as much if not more. The illegal part is promising something for the help or threatening to take something unless help is provided, the dreaded Quid Pro Quo.

so Biden threatening to stop aid unless Ukraine stops the prosecutor investigating an American company (that just happens to be run by his son) isn’t illegal because he didn’t ask for election interference at the same time. It’s damaging politically and will be well used by the opposition as it always has and always will on both sides.

the Clintons scandals that are listed everywhere aren’t illegal, just normal course of political business. Hillary’s email server isn’t illegal but her mishandling of classified material is. Bills scandals with Monica aren’t illegal, perjury and rape are.

but the focus is on the politically embarrassing scandals rather than the illegal acts. Because....truthfully...in past practice and historically....they are above the law. All high level politicians are. 

So you campaign on the salacious stuff, win elections on hopes of “lock her up” but not prosecute them so when they are in power they don’t prosecute you. People forget that Nixon was never impeached, he resigned before the House voted on impeachment charges, Clinton was impeached but not removed from office as he was not convicted (which is different from being acquitted in political speak)

no one has been removed from office, never have, never will. But it “sells” with the respective bases

A fringe political group that supports President Trump has claimed responsibility for planting the woman who screamed ‘we got to start eating babies’ in response to climate change at a town hall meeting for Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

The Lyndon LaRouche PAC claimed responsibility for Thursday’s stunt, writing in a tweet: ‘It was us. Malthusianism isn’t new, Jonathan Swift knew that. Sometimes, only satire works.’
