About a year ago, I wrote a column describing what I saw as evidence of a “controlled demolition” in progress in the Hunter Biden scandal. The media and political establishment had reached the point where they could no longer bury the influence peddling scandal by claiming that Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation.

That worked for defusing the scandal in 2020, but now another election was fast approaching, which called for a “controlled demolition” to protect political and media figures from any public backlash. I wrote: “Like those buildings dropped between other structures, it takes precision and, most importantly, cooperation to pull off. Specifically, this controlled demolition will require the perfect timing of the media, Democratic politicians, and most importantly, the Justice Department.”

[No one should be surprised at this outcome. Most of us are only surprised it took this long. The time to execute this plan was really last year before the DoJ indicted Trump on any or all of the investigations under way. This “controlled demolition” has produced wreckage that will still damage Biden’s political campaign. But at least Biden can count on the Protection Racket Media to shield him as much as possible from it. — Ed]
