If this were a tweet, I probably would have just sent it out with only the title of this article. Impeach Antony Blinken. Yes, impeach the Secretary of State. I know I’m not the first person to say this. Heck, I probably didn’t make it onto the list of the first million people to say it. Larry O’Connor said it over at Townhall yesterday. Sean Hannity has been saying it for weeks, though he refers to him as “Winkin’ Tony Blinken.”
But it took me a while to get to that point. The primary reason for that is I have this little voice in the back of my mind that just won’t keep quiet. It whispers to me. ‘Don’t be like that. You’re still ticked off at the liberals who impeached Trump twice over nonsense and you just want payback. Don’t be like them.’
Perhaps there’s something to that argument if I’m being honest. But the more we learn from (and about) the entire Hunter Biden laptop story, the more it seems like Antony Blinken has probably committed actual impeachable offenses. So perhaps I’ll modify my request to say, “Impeach Antony Blinken if it can be provably shown that he lied to Congress.” Larry covered the key elements of the story yesterday.
On April 20, the House Judiciary Committee revealed that former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morell was instigated to craft the infamous “Spies Who Lie” memo falsely claiming the infamous Hunter Biden laptop story was actually Russian disinformation after Blinken (then working for the Biden election effort) reached out to him to discuss the growing scandal.
“In his transcribed interview, Morell testified that on or around October 17, 2020, Blinken served as a senior advisor to the Biden campaign and reached out to him to discuss the Hunter Biden laptop story,” according to the committee’s recent statement:
If you’re still not familiar with that saga, you can read the whole thing in Larry’s column. But the short version is fairly easy to digest. When Blinken was still an adviser to the Biden campaign, he was in touch with Michael Morell on at least one occasion. Morell was the one who assembled the 51 intelligence “experts” who signed off on a letter claiming the Hunter Biden Laptop From Hell story was “likely Russian disinformation.” That, of course, turned out to be malarkey and the FBI knew it because they’d had the laptop for months by then.
But the point is, Blinken continues to claim he wasn’t involved, even though Morell has ratted him out. Further, when he was being questioned during his confirmation, he was asked about his relationship with Hunter Biden. He swore that the two of them were not in communication with each other. But the laptop says otherwise. Was he providing cover for the Bidens in some sort of sweetheart deal where he would wind up being the Secretary of State?
The deeper the House investigations go, the more we’re learning about how everything unfolded during the 2020 election and what the Bidens and their merry band were up to. And if you can’t convict the Secretary of State after he’s found to have lied to Congress (allegedly, for now), then it’s no longer possible to impeach anyone for anything.
It would be much harder to nail down the goods regarding where all of that money that Hunter received from China, Russia, and Ukraine disappeared to. There may not even be bank records proving how much if any of it went to The Big Guy. So proving an impeachment case against the President might be a longshot. But Blinken appears to have stepped on his own foot here.
