On the surface, the impeachment inquiry launched by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi last week seems to be targeting President Trump. He’s the one they want removed from office, after all, and he’s been the focus of nearly every action they’ve taken for the last three years. Of course this is about President Trump, but is it possible the motivation for running with it now is to protect Joe Biden? Hear me out.
It’s becoming increasingly clear the Democrats knew a heck of a lot more about the whistleblower’s complaint and the conversation President Trump had with Ukrainian President Zelensky than they led us to believe. They acted before the release of the transcript or the limited viewing of the whistleblower’s complaint by select members of Congress. What else did they know? Did they become aware of the administration’s accumulation of dirt on Biden when a staffer for Representative Adam Schiff went to Ukraine last month?
Schiff’s Staffer Traveled to Ukraine, Trip Was Paid for by Group Funded by Hunter Biden’s Old Firm
Schiff was aware of the complaint from at least August 12 when he allegedly received it from the whistleblower. Yet he didn’t inform his colleagues in Congress until last week. He went on ABC on the Sunday and told George Stephanopoulos that “once he found out about the complaint” he demanded answers and went public right away. But that wasn’t true, he waited a month.
His colleague Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) called him out on it, asking why had he not informed Congress.
Now there’s another strange connection that Schiff has in the case.
As Breitbart notes, one of Schiff’s Congressional staffers, Thomas Eager, took a trip to Ukraine between August 24-31 with other Congressional staffers after the whistleblower complaint was filed. Rep. Adam Schiff approved his staffer’s travel as his signature on the travel request revealed.
That trip was paid for by the Atlantic Council.
Let’s assume, for a moment, that Democrats knew a lot more about the whistleblower complaint, Biden’s history in Ukraine, and the President’s staff working with the Ukrainian government to uncover not only information about Biden but also evidence of collusion by Democrats in the 2016 election. Let’s also assume they knew this information would come out as a result of the President’s release of the Zelensky call transcript and subsequent media inquiries. This makes for a very poor situation that mainstream media couldn’t ignore… unless they had bigger fish to fry pertaining to it all.
Pelosi, Schiff, and their colleagues assessed the situation and determined the only way to protect Biden from the scandal (and possibly other Democrats who would be implicated) is to suck all of the air out of newsrooms by invoking the big “i” word. With an impeachment inquiry launched, the narrative suddenly changes. This becomes all about President Trump while poor Biden is a hapless victim in the mess. And so far, that’s been the narrative mainstream media has pushed.
If it weren’t so nefarious and absolutely destructive to the nation, I’d actually be impressed by their chutzpah. It takes a very strategic, conniving mind to launch such a risky maneuver, but that seems to be what’s happening here. Otherwise, certain pieces to the puzzle simply wouldn’t fit. Here are a few inconsistencies that seem to lend credence to this theory:
- Early launch: If impeachment was the only goal, there was no reason to launch before the transcript was released the following day. They don’t get extra impeachment credit for launching prematurely. But what the early launch definitely did was change the lens through which the transcript and the whistleblower’s complaint would be seen by the people and the press. If they let it get released before launching the impeachment inquiry, questions would have been more prominent about what the President wanted from Ukraine, namely the 2016-associated CrowdStrike servers and the Biden scandal information. With impeachment launched ahead of the release, it’s seen strictly through the lens of whether or not anything in it was impeachable. Democrats made the details irrelevant as the wording of the President’s requests became the primary focus.
- The “national security” talking point: Anyone who reads the transcript in a vacuum would come out believing the President wanted nothing more than an assist on CrowdStrike and dirt on Biden. But we don’t live in a vacuum, so the air has been intentionally littered by Democrats to make this all seem like a national security issue. Never mind the fact that this had absolutely, positively nothing to do with national security. The memo went out to progressive pundits and any Democrats in the public view that the buzzword of the week is “national security.” Again, this draws scrutiny away from the details the President sought and instead makes the issue all about aid to Ukraine. It’s a red herring that doesn’t help them impeach the President but does keep focus away from CrowdStrike and Biden.
- Schiff’s parody routine: If there’s one thing the Democrats don’t want to happen, it’s for their impeachment inquiry to be turned into a mockery. Then, right out of the gate, Schiff went into parody mode and created a controversy by misstating elements of the transcript to make it seem more damaging to the President. I had to scratch my head when I heard him as it didn’t seem beneficial to give Republicans ammunition to condemn the inquiry. Now that I believe this is really all about protecting Biden, Schiff’s actions make sense. He made himself a target so the President and Republicans couldn’t instantly make this about Biden. It worked. Schiff drew fire while Biden ran for cover.
Now the question becomes, “Why?” It may seem like all of this will harm Biden’s campaign, but their calculus is telling them it’s better to get the dirt out while everyone’s focused on the President. They wouldn’t want it coming out as the primary story in the future and they definitely wouldn’t want the President to tuck it in his pocket until after Biden has already secured the nomination. By stirring up the impeachment storm ahead of scrutiny on Biden, they get to force the President to play his card now when it’s least effective.
While Pelosi would never publicly pick a side before the nominee is selected, we can assume she prefers Biden over Warren or Sanders. Pelosi is a progressive, but she’s not interested in the types of sweeping, damaging changes the two top socialists intend to bring about with their presidencies. Biden would be a safer bet for Pelosi to push her own agenda, one that is leftist but not so far off the reservation that it borders on communism. She needs Biden to win so she won’t have to keep fighting “The Squad” on one side and a socialist president on the other side.
Trying to make sense of Democrats is often like trying to divide by zero. In the case of impeachment, the only thing that makes sense for them is keeping focus on President Trump while quietly spinning Joe Biden’s sins as secondary.
