Congressional investigators have alleged that agents of foreign regimes — some corrupt and some anti-American, with Communist China at the top of the list — transferred millions of dollars to members of the Biden family beginning when Joe Biden was vice president during the Obama years. Still, there are no signs that Biden’s DOJ is scrutinizing any of the allegations about the Biden family and possible influence-peddling.

How is it conceivable that the media are not on the warpath, calling for Garland to appoint a credible, nonpartisan, well-regarded former prosecutor as special counsel — both to take over the inexplicably moribund Hunter Biden probe and to conduct a searching investigation of the Biden family’s alleged receipt of millions of dollars from agents of foreign powers who stood to benefit from Joe Biden’s influence?

Why is it that the Justice Department’s dereliction, its flouting of special-counsel regulations, is not spinning up Capitol Hill day and night?

Oh, I forgot: Joe Biden is a Democrat.

[I haven’t started calling it the Protection Racket Media for nothing. They’re circling wagons around the Bidens in the hope of dragging them across the finish line in 17 months. And they’re going to keep promoting Donald Trump to distract from the corruption and incompetence in the Biden administration, too. — Ed]
