Former Vice President Joe Biden has found out that the friends he thought he had in the Republican Party (at least the ones still in office) are fair-weather ones.
Exhibit A is South Carolina Senator and Trump Zone Resident Lindsey Graham.
Mr. Graham, the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee has decided, after getting pressure from the Trumpist Fascist Right to launch an investigation into the already debunked conspiracy theories involving Hunter and Joe Biden and Burisma.
Graham’s head is so far up Donald Trump’s tuchus that he has apparently forgotten that he once said that “if you can’t admire Joe Biden, you’ve got a problem ….he is as good a man as God has ever created…”
The South Carolina Trump sycophant has justified this move, saying that while:
“I like Joe Biden, I like him a lot, I think he’s a fine man. I’m not saying Joe did anything wrong but I want to see the transcripts. But if there’s nothing there I’ll be the first one to say there’s nothing there. But we’re not going to live in a country where only one party gets investigated.”
So in Mr. Graham’s mind, this is all about tit for tat and an eye for an eye. How juvenile an attitude for a person that has been a United States Senator since 2003.
Maybe Democrats in the House should return the favor and hold hearings on how Jared and Ivanka are able to shape policy without obtaining security clearances through the normal process or how Don Jr. is getting favors from the Republican Party on the publication of his recent book.
Former Vice President Biden to his credit, publicly chastized Graham on an interview with Don Lemon on CNN commenting that:
I don’t think it’s likely but it’s possible Graham is setting up a way for Biden to prove that the various conspiracy theories are false and/or a way for Biden to say, “I’ll testify if Trump does.” Either of these would be bad for Trump and give Graham a way to appear honorable if Trump goes down.
