Republicans Would Have Impeached Joe Biden 100 Times For The Stuff Trump Is Doing

WASHINGTON — For two years, Republicans hounded former President Joe Biden’s family for any evidence he participated in his son Hunter’s foreign business deals.

Lawmakers grilled witnesses about the Bidens’ phone habits, sifted through family bank records, hauled in Hunter Biden’s art dealer for questioning and even subpoenaed people who bought his paintings. Republicans swore they uncovered impeachable offenses, even if they uncovered no direct evidence of wrongdoing.

President Donald Trump, meanwhile, is openly inviting anyone to put money directly in his pockets by purchasing his crypto token. He’s rewarded the biggest spenders with direct access to himself personally.

By any reasonable standard, Trump’s self-enrichment is more contrary to ethical standards and norms of good governance than anything Joe Biden did. But House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has a ready rationalization for why it’s OK.
