So they had to find a way to nitpick the affair in order to cast the President in a negative light. They did this by latching onto a throwaway response to an inane and irrelevant question by a reporter from Rupert Murdoch&#8217;s New York Post. \u201cWhy did the Ukraine FBI informant file refer to you as the &#8216;big guy?&#8217; the reporter asked.

Unfortunately for them, they have zero evidence of any misconduct by Biden. The <em>&#8220;informant&#8221;<\/em> they touted has mysteriously disappeared. The audio tapes they claimed to have don&#8217;t seem to exist.

On Fox&#8217;s <em>&#8220;The Five&#8221;<\/em> co-host Dana Perino complained that Biden declined to answer the question. But what did she expect him to say? Did she expect that he would breakdown and confess to the trumped up charges? Or lash out in an incoherent, infantile temper tantrum like Trump?<\/p>\n<p>Had Perino observed Biden&#8217;s demeanor throughout his career, she would know that he has a calm and respectful manner. It would be improper and pointless for him to answer such a ridiculous question. Nevertheless, Perino&#8217;s comrade, Jeanine Pirro had an even more preposterous take on the matter&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Pirro:<\/strong> First of all, I think it&#8217;s rich for Barack Obama, who is the President who created this division between the press and the White House when he started trashing Fox News and conservatives during his time as president.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Judge Jeanine Pirro claimed Pres.

When he did it was entirely appropriate and directed at specific instances wherein Fox News was out of line, unprofessional, and brazenly biased. Obama had a generally cordial relationship with the press, as does Biden. And Pirro has apparently forgotten that it was Trump who viciously denigrated the press in Stalinist terms as <em>&#8220;the enemy of the people,&#8221;<\/em> and personally insulted reporters &#8211; especially Blacks and women &#8211; at every opportunity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE TRUMP <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=56956\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">For More on Creating Divisions Between the White House and the Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the record, the allegations that the reporter was hounding Biden about on behalf of his GOP handlers, are allegedly contained in a document that the FBI has already made available to Republicans in Congress. It cannot be disclosed because of an investigation that is currently in progress, and because it contains unverified accounts provided by an unreliable source.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, Republicans have been making up what they want it to say and repeating their fabrications on right-wing TV programs. The ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, Jamie Raskin, countered that fictional narrative. telling the press that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Once again Chairman [James} Comer has failed to provide factual evidence to support his wild accusations about the President. He continues to bombard the public with innuendo, misrepresentations, and outright lies, recycling baseless claims from stories that were debunked years ago.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the meantime, GOP House Squeaker, Kevin McCarthy, is attempting to bully FBI Director Chris Wray with threats to hold him in contempt of Congress if he refuses to obey. Wray previously advised McCarthy that it would be improper for the FBI to reveal <em>&#8220;unverified or incomplete information that could harm investigations, prejudice prosecutions or judicial proceedings, unfairly violate privacy or reputational interests, or create misimpressions in the public.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>But McCarthy and his Republican cohorts couldn&#8217;t care less about judicial fairness or legal ethics.
