“Biden had eight million reasons to lie.” – Rep. Jim Jordan
Wow. Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-Wisc) didn’t pull any punches today. His five minutes crushed Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md), the entire Democrat narrative in regard to Biden stealing classified information as a US senator as well as vice president.
As seen in the video directly below, Tiffany not only crushed the previously mentioned, but he also pretty much nuked the credibility of Special Council Robert Hur.
Then we come as to Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) also launching his own nuclear strike against the Democrats, Biden, and Hur himself.
Keep in mind that the book in question was Promise Me, Dad, which was published in 2017. As Rep. Jordan correctly stated, Biden received a hefty $8 million advance on this particular book. Interestingly enough, Forbes.com notes that Biden’s memoir only sold 300,000 copies.
To keep all that in context, Pres. Trump’s 1987 No. 1 best-seller, The Art of the Deal, sold “By mid-1988, “The Art of the Deal” had sold a million hardcover copies. My source? The overtly left-leaning NewYorker.com.
It goes without saying that the Democrats involved at today’s testimony had quite the penchant for circling around to Pres. Trump somehow being guilty of also stealing classified information.
It’s fairly obvious to me as a layman that the Democrats have completely forgotten something known as the PRA (Presidential Records Act which was amended in 2012), that was placed into legal canon by US District Court Judge District Court Amy Berman Jackson.
By the way, she was an Obama nominee. As a matter of fact, the entire catalyst for Jackson’s ruling was the “Bill Clinton Tapes” of classified information. Or, as GQ magazine reported, after leaving office, Bill Clinton “squirreled away the cassettes in his sock drawer and has never spoken of them nor made them public.”
Specifically, Judge Jackson ruled, as cited in her own court records;
The PRA does not confer any mandatory or even discretionary authority on the Archivist to classify records. Under the statute, this responsibility is left solely to the President.
Solely.
To.
The.
President.
In so many words, Jackson ruled that any given president has the authority to keep whatever classified document(s) his little heart desires.
Yep, Jackson pulled Bill Clinton’s chestnuts out of the fire. But please keep in mind that no one has ever challenged her ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and if shot down there, then on to the U.S. Supreme Court.
As of this moment in time, Jackson’s ruling is the law of the land. OK, I guess I have to deal with her ruling as just that.
Oh… but wait. Doesn’t that pertain to the Democrats too? One would think.
