Our “kindly old gentleman with the bad memory” decided to have his White House counsel run interference with the House impeachment inquiry. Ed Siskel sent a strongly worded – but weakly reasoned – letter to Speaker Johnson, complaining about the investigation into his client. He apparently doesn’t realize that his client is the American people, not Joe Biden. I suggest he check his pay stub for clarification.
Siskel wrote that the investigation is a cheap stunt to “hurt the President politically.” Ed clearly believes it’s improper for “semi-fascist anti-democracy MAGA extremists” to use the levers of government for political advantage. Reporting on the letter didn’t mention if Nancy Pelosi was cc’d.
Siskel then moved on to arguing “The Big Guy’s” innocence. He reminded Speaker Johnson that no fewer than 12 highly credible witnesses had testified to Joe’s innocence – two of whom were Hunter and James Biden. He even pointed out that one of the damaging witnesses had been in contact with – gasp – Russians! I think that was his way of telling Speaker Johnson that the investigation is wasting its time. Generalissimo Garland will simply arrest any incriminating witnesses using the Lavrentiy Beria criminal justice gambit.
Regardless, the Donald will be pleased to learn that co-conspirators make credible witnesses. He has 18 of them ready to testify on his behalf in Fulton County, Georgia.
Siskel helpfully advised that Republicans “work with the President on the economy, national security, and the ongoing border crisis.” He suggested that his boss and Speaker Johnson come together in the same spirit of respect and bipartisanship which Joe showed the Republicans during his State of the Union address (snark intended), to fix the problems that his boss created.
Siskel then wrapped up his missive with a simple order: “The House Republican impeachment is over.” Either Ed’s law school didn’t cover the Constitution, or Joe Biden was his Constitutional law professor. My casual perusal of the document revealed that the House of Representatives doesn’t work for the President, and Ed Siskel is in no position to issue orders to the Speaker.
So why didn’t President Trump stamp his feet, throw a tantrum, and demand that Speaker Pelosi drop her impeachment of him – twice? Because it would have accomplished nothing but show desperation and impotence. So why is Joe doing it now? Because he’s desperate, impotent, scared, and running out of options.
The White House knows the evidence against Joe is damning. If it wasn’t, Joe and Ed would be happy to let the Republicans make fools of themselves – turning over every rock only to find nothing. But they know there’s plenty of dirt to be found under those rocks, so they’re scared.
But, even silly letters deserve a reply. Speaker Johnson could reply that the House will continue to operate to the traditions and norms established by Speaker San Fran Nan.
Or he could reply with maximum snark, saying: Yup. We’ve got nothing but favors to Burisma, 170 suspicious banking activity reports, dozens of Biden family shell companies, foreign payments to grandchildren, loan repayments for loans that were never made, and emails from Hunter whining about payments to “The Big Guy.”
But personally, I think brevity carries a certain impact. I think Speaker Johnson should give Ed Siskel the Gen. Anthony McAuliffe reply. When the Nazis asked him to stop the 101st from doing what it was doing, he simply wrote back: “Nuts.”
