Recently, the Department of Justice dug up dirt on Gal Luft. In fact, he’s been charged with a variety of crimes, not the least of which being spying for the Chinese. This obviously creates huge credibility problems for the Hunter Biden scandal because Luft was a key witness against him. For him to be charged with worse crimes than what Hunter has been accused of? Yikes!
But apart from the Luft scandal itself is this : what the political right has been suspicious of before.
Remember the attempts to cast James Comey as a Hillary Clinton loyalist to justify Trump firing him? Even though he had sent the letter that implicated Hillary one last time right before the 2016 election, putting Donald Trump in the White House?
Remember the aforementioned raid of Mar-A-Lago? And those who threw suspicion onto the raid itself rather than how bad it made Trump?
Remember the questions about Robert Mueller as his investigation helped secure the convictions of dozens of Trump administration officials? It should be noted that the idea that his report exonerated Trump himself is a lie that relies on the erroneous early scoops. The real Mueller report actually accused Trump of obstructing justice in no uncertain terms.
Remember how absolutely no attempt to argue innocence was made in the first Trump impeachment? Congressional Republicans’ case was instead that Trump had supposedly been hounded unfairly for years so everything to come out since was suspect. And that’s those that conceded that extortion was much of a crime. Others cast it as an innocent phone call.
They didn’t even bother with the invented questions concerning E. Jean Carroll suing Trump for sexually assaulting her and winning. Despite Trump’s claims on Truth Social about never having met her contradicting his past statements.
Basically, the MAGA standard, at least with Trump, seems to go like this: if there is even the slightest flaw with any investigation into him, not only is he innocent, it would be weak sauce to even allow that the accusations are innocent mistakes.
I’m not saying that I believe these questions and counteraccusations were made in good faith. They were and continue to be to be desperate attempts to save Trump from both justice and the voters. I knew all along that this ridiculous standard would never last beyond its convenience.
But after years of self-righteously nitpicking A- investigations, they have made a star witness in the case against Hunter of an apparent criminal whose credibility is being torn to shreds before our very eyes! We’d be doing ourselves a disservice if we didn’t rub this in MAGA faces for as long as Joe is President.
If you think this does no good, you’re wrong. It doesn’t move mountains or anything, but living on the countryside has put me in many arguments with MAGAs about Trump’s corruption. I never let one pass without bringing up the fallen crime family’s worth of convicts within the Trump administration. After I do so, I can feel their arguments, body language and tone becoming compromised as they have no choice but to concede that it was corrupt.
So anytime you’re in an argument over the Bidens, make sure to bring up not only Gal Luft but also the impossible standard the MAGA movement tried to impose on the investigations into Trump.
