The Clock Is Ticking for President Biden

He’s at the top of what is potentially the biggest scandal in American history.

It’s no coincidence that the Donald Trump indictment was announced on the same day the FBI whistleblower form was finally opened up to the members of the House Oversight Committee. No coincidence. That’s my opinion.

While President Biden smugly answered a reporter’s question about bribery charges by saying “show me the money,” well … the clock is ticking for Mr. Biden. Sources briefing Fox News Digital were quite clear about the allegation that Mr. Biden was paid $5 million by a top dog at Burisma Holdings, and another $5 million went to Hunter Biden.  

The FBI interview was with someone who is called a highly credible source, who detailed multiple meetings and conversations with the Burisma people. The pay-to-play bribe was to force a Ukrainian prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, out of office, which is exactly what Mr. Biden did.

This is potentially the biggest political scandal in American history. And the evidence against the Biden crime family is mounting across the board.  

So, Mr. Biden’s attorney general, Merrick Garland, rushed out his special counsel’s indictment of President Trump on the same day, in a transparent attempt to distract attention from Mr. Biden’s corruption.  

Mr. Garland’s calling these shots for Mr. Biden, and, as one senator told me, “this justice department cannot be trusted on anything.”   

Then, of course, the Biden classified documents investigation continues at a snail’s pace. Mr. Biden kept classified documents all over the place at Washington, D.C., and in Delaware. Here’s the rub: Mr. Biden as a senator took classified documents.  

That isn’t supposed to happen. You can read them in a sensitive compartmented information facility in the middle of the National Archives building, but you can’t take them anywhere. That’s against the law.  

Then, Vice President Biden somehow made off with classified documents again, and scattered them to the four winds. Wait a minute, though: As vice president, you can read classified documents in a secure place in the middle of the National Archives, but the law says you can’t take them out of the building.  

Did he put them in his socks? Stuff them in a briefcase, and then sprint out of the building? Throw the bag into the front seat of his Corvette? I don’t know. I wasn’t there. But you can’t do what he did. It’s illegal.  

Mr. Trump, though, was permitted to take documents, and, however sloppily those documents may have been shelved, presidents are allowed to take them and declassify them, and then return them.  

So, there are a couple of key points here. One is this should be a civil proceeding, not criminal. Second, the charge of espionage is totally absurd.  

Here’s what a famed Fox contributor and former chief of staff to Attorney General Ed Meese, Mark Levin, said last night:

“The Presidential Records Act is not a criminal statute, and it was never intended to be. There’d be no obstruction issue of any kind, not even in anybody’s imagination, had they not criminalized this case. This is a document case, a document case where a president of the United States or a former president faces 100 years in federal prison. Is this some kind of a sick joke on the American people?

What did he do with the documents? Did he show them to the enemy? No. That’s why we have an espionage act, not to trick up a president. What did he do? Did he burn them all? No. The government has all the documents back. So there is no violation of the Presidential Records Act.” 

I can’t do any better than that.  

Now, here’s Mr. Trump’s Republican presidential primary competitor, Governor DeSantis, tweeting last night, and I quote: “The weaponization of federal law enforcement represents a mortal threat to a free society. We have for years witnessed an uneven application of the law depending upon political affiliation.” Well said, Mr. DeSantis.

I’ll just finish with this thought: I believe that Democrats, from Joe Biden on down, are obsessed and consumed by their desperate need to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president again. And I believe this is what all this is about. By “all this,” I mean the crazy indictment by the far-left Democrat, Alvin Bragg, in New York; this classified box hoax in Florida; and the ginned up Georgia election grand jury run by another left-wing Democrat.  

They’re all doing Joe Biden’s bidding: Stopping Donald Trump. Why? Because Mr. Trump has what I have described as a secret weapon: his “fightingness.”  

Mr. Trump is probably the only guy who would go back to Washington and clean out the corruption of the D.C. swamp. It is, frankly, mainly Democratic corruption. Deep into the Department of Justice. Deep into the FBI. Deep into the CIA. Deep into the entire federal government bureaucracy. Even infiltrating our beloved military.  

Perhaps, most of all, Mr. Trump would stop the weaponization and politicization of our justice system. He would restore a true, neutral, unbiased rule of law, which is one of the cornerstones of our great American democracy.  

That is what Joe Biden and the Democrats fear: Donald Trump’s fightingness.
