An abundance of Obama administration scandals surface on the same day

Julie Kelly:

The Democrats’ Ukrainian impeachment gambit is backfiring on Joe Biden. The three-time presidential hopeful is getting awfully testy with voters and journalists who dare to confront Biden about his son’s ghost-payrolling gig for a corrupt Ukrainian energy company while dad was vice president and acted as President Obama’s point man for that country.

Biden taunted an Iowa farmer during a campaign event for raising questions about Hunter Biden’s lucrative Burisma board seat; over the weekend, he repeatedly scolded a female NPR reporter who pressed him on the matter. (An outrageous display that would now dominate headlines had it been President Trump.)

But Biden’s in-your-face reaction when presented with valid inquiries about his son’s multi-million-dollar patronage job, a post that he surrendered this year only after the senior Biden announced his run for president, is telling: This is how you behave when the press runs cover for you and your boss for more than a decade.

The American public often is reminded, usually by Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and their loyalists in the American news media, that Obama’s eight-year reign was “scandal-free.” Of course, that is nowhere near the truth. From the “Fast and Furious” gun-running scam and IRS targeting of Tea Party activists to the egregious Benghazi terror attack cover-up two months before the 2012 election, the Obama Administration was among the most corrupt in U.S. history. And they have laughed all the way to Martha’s Vineyard and the Democratic presidential debate stage.

So truth-seekers should be gratified that on one day—Monday, December 9, 2019—the spin and subterfuge that the Obama White House successfully employed to hide their rampant malfeasance started to collapse under the full weight of its deceit and hubris.

Three scandals—the Russian collusion hoax, Burisma, and the disastrous Afghanistan war—blew up in their self-proclaimed “scandal-free” faces.

The Justice Department’s inspector general released his long-awaited report on the FBI investigation into Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Michael Horowitz, who will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, confirmed what Trump World already knew: Barack Obama’s FBI misled a secret court to obtain a warrant to spy on Carter Page, a Trump campaign advisor. James Comey accused Page of acting as a “foreign agent” of Russia in the initial filing, which was renewed three times.

There is more.

The media is still trying to cover up these scandals, but that will be much harder now that the IG report is out and their own participation in the scandalous schemes is also being revealed.  The stench from their culture of corruption will be harder to ignore.
