Miranda Devine seems to have some good sources—maybe better than good. Her article yesterday was titled:
There’s no hiding Biden’s fright over classified document scandal
However, Andrea Widburg’s discussion of Devine’s article gets to the real heart of Devine’s reporting:
Did Hunter use classified documents as part of his Ukraine business dealings?
This is exactly what I was getting at the other day. It seems unlikely that Zhou was simply a packrat, or even a connisseur of classified documents. He was running a business, selling his influence to foreign bidders. So it’s a no brainer that any investigators worth their wages will be looking to link the possession of specific documents to specific deals or communications that relate to that influence peddling business. Alternatively, any cover up artist worth their salt would be trying to bury any knowledge of such links.
This scandal is still not going away. Instead, we’re getting a steady drumbeat of revelations. Somebody is managing this.
Tx for posting the Widburg! I do agree that “somebody is managing this” and has decided that Zhou’s use-by date has expired (due to his worsening cognitive decline? that, as a result, he can’t be trusted to follow the script from 2 years ago? Covid certainly can’t protect him now! Getting the team players at NARA involved again could tar and feather Zhou so he can resign or give up running in 24. Nice how all this comes out just before the SOU in early Feb. And of course this whole scandal engulfs Zhou, his son and brother in international money laundering and illicit/illegal transactions (Ukraine again), evidence of which is on the laptop in abundance if only puppet Garland cared to take a look (and Bluto before him). It’s a tangled web - a vengeful, icy determination to hold on to power - since now, as has been pointed out, the Uni-monsters ultimately decide who hangs his (or her) hat in the Oval Office.
I wonder if we will ever find out who is driving this, and the why…
