Jill
Biden Is In Total Denial Over Her Husband's Political 'Baggage'

According to Jill, Sanders' comments are
"ridiculous."
But the biggest issue she has? Democrats attacking fellow
Democrats, including her husband.
"Joe has been under attack because he's doing so well.
And I don't like it that Democrats attack other Democrats. We're in this race
against Donald Trump. We're not against any of the other Democrats," the
former second lady told CNN. "As
I travel around the country people are saying to me, 'Jill, we don't like it,
that the Democrats are attacking one another,' and I agree with that."
Joe Biden has been under attack from both Democrats and
Republicans alike, but for different reasons. Democrats are upset that Biden is
so moderate. While many see this as a negative, Jill sees it as a positive and
an opportunity to garner support from independents.
"Democrats can't win without Independent support A lot
of people say, 'You know, I voted for Trump last time, but I'm sorry I did it.'
And they said, 'I want to vote for someone who is pragmatic, who's a moderate,
who's reasonable, who can achieve things.' And, and that's my husband,"
she explained. "So, I think people want someone [who's] a moderate, who
can appeal to Democrats, Independents and Republicans."
Republicans, on the other hand, are disgusted by the nepotism
that took place, especially in Ukraine. While Biden was vice president, he
handled international relations with Ukraine on behalf of the Obama
administration. At the same time, his son, Hunter, was being paid $50,000 to
$83,000 per month to sit on the board of Burisma, a corrupt Ukrainian gas
company, despite having no natural energy experience.
Part of the Bidens' campaign strategy is to conquer and
divide. Joe goes one way and Jill goes another way to cover more ground and to
talk to more people. She's risen as one of the former vice president's
strongest surrogates on the campaign trail. But it's a role that she's had over
the last 42 years of their marriage.
"Joe and I've been married for 42 years. This is how
we've always done things. I've campaigned in every election. I go one way, he
goes the other way, and so we can cover more ground and talk to more
people," she explained "He's always supported my career. And this is
a critical time for me to support him because, you know, I want change. I
want a new president."
The
former second lady said her family was prepared to take on President Donald
Trump but their longtime experience in politics has allowed to "buil[d] up
a resilience" to whatever is launched at her.
"We knew Donald Trump was going to be a difficult opponent,
that he was never going to play fair. And so I think we were ready for whatever
was going to come our way," she said. "I've been in this business for
42 years, so I think I have built up a resilience to whatever comes my way...I
think it's important to be positive about it and move forward in a positive
direction."
The Bidens are having a rough time for a number of reasons.
For one, Joe has been in politics for more than 40 years. He's the definition
of a career politician and that's something that people absolutely hate. He's also a moderate, which
upsets the Democratic Party's base. And then there's the Ukraine scandal. The
American people can only endure so much of a politician before they want
change. And Joe Biden embodies the status quo.

Top
Democrats are signaling not-so-subtly that they are nervous as a
forthcoming book from Peter Schweizer that will expose widespread corruption in
the Democrat Party drops in just ten days.
The cover of
the soon-to-be-published book, Profiles in Corruption: Abuse of
Power by America’s Progressive Elite, was revealed by Axios’s
Mike Allen on Thursday:
Exclusive: Peter Schweizer book,
"Profiles in Corruption," out Jan. 21 https://www.axios.com/peter-schweizer-profiles-in-corruption-book-2020-democrats-02c25a0a-7705-4198-800b-eba92c770ecf.html?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=twsocialshare&utm_campaign=organic …
Peter Schweizer's new book, "Profiles in
Corruption," takes aim at 2020 Democrats
The cover features photos of 2020 Democrat presidential
frontrunners former Vice President Joe Biden, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen.
Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), as well as fellow 2020 candidates Sens. Amy Klobuchar
(D-MN) and Cory Booker (D-NJ), and former 2020 candidate Sen. Kamala Harris
(D-CA).
Schweizer is a Breitbart News contributing editor and the
president of the Government Accountability Institute (GAI). He has written
multiple bestselling books exposing corruption in Washington.
While little is known publicly about the book thus far, Allen
quotes Schweizer as saying he spent a year and a half investigating for it, and
that it is “a sweeping, detailed look at how the leading figures of
progressivism have leveraged the power of their positions.” Allen reported
that the book features chapters on each of them, as well as Los Angeles Mayor
Eric Garcetti and Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH).
It has also been revealed that the
book will expose the “Biden Five,” a group of Biden’s family members beyond son
Hunter Biden who have siphoned tens of millions of dollars from taxpayers and
from guaranteed loans. As Breitbart News reported, the Burisma Ukrainian natural gas company scandal surrounding
Hunter Biden that was at the center of the House Democrats’ partisan
impeachment push in Congress is just “the tip of the iceberg” when it comes to
Biden corruption, and much more will be exposed in this book.
Schweizer’s last two books were
filled with explosive revelations about career politicians. Clinton Cash, his 2015 book,
uncovered significant corruption swirling around the Clinton Foundation and
Clinton Global Initiative and how the Clintons orchestrated a massive
international pay-for-play political scheme. Secret Empires, his most recent book, uncovered
much about Joe and Hunter Biden as well as other career politicians. Much of
the revelations about Hunter Biden’s role with Burisma originated in Secret Empires.
So it’s no surprise that since these
initial revelations about the explosive Profiles
in Corruption book out on Jan. 21, the book has rocketed near
the top of Amazon’s bestseller list, and interest in it has spiked
considerably.
What’s new is that a spokesman for
another top Democrat–former U.S. president Bill Clinton–is now formally
denouncing the book. Angel Urena, the press secretary for former President
Clinton, tweeted in response to Allen’s story announcing the book a claim that
various investigations spawned in part by Clinton Cash have not been fruitful. In so
doing, Urena urges the media and political class to not “aid” Schweizer in exposing
the corruption of Biden, Harris, Warren, Sanders, Booker, Klobuchar, Garcetti,
and other Democrats, but instead to just ignore it all:
After a two year investigation, Trump’s DOJ has exonerated the @ClintonFdn.
Reminder that said investigation was based at least partly on allegations in Clinton Cash. Schweizer is fixing to lie again, question is will we - again - aid him in doing so. https://twitter.com/mikeallen/status/1215270164540747780 …

Urena earlier retweeted this from
the Washington Post:
Justice Dept. winds down Clinton-related inquiry once championed by Trump.
It found nothing of consequence. https://wapo.st/2QFeSpd
Justice Dept. winds down
Clinton-related inquiry once championed by Trump. It found nothing of...
The Washington Post story that Urena has been
pushing announced that U.S. Attorney John Huber’s investigation into the
Clinton Foundation has informally concluded. But the same Washington Post story says
that Huber never interviewed many people he should have, and was more of a
“nebulous” “reviewer” than an “investigator.”
The Post wrote:
Huber’s tasking was nebulous from the start. Some people
involved in the matters he was said to be reviewing expressed surprise that
they were not contacted by the U.S. attorney, and wondered privately what he
was doing. Some in the Justice Department considered him more reviewer than
investigator. He would get involved, people familiar with the matter said, only
if other cases were not being handled properly.
Urena’s insinuation that because Huber’s
lackluster-at-best review of the matter that really was not much of an
investigation after all per the same Washington
Post story he’s pushing to try to claim his bosses the
Clintons are in the clear means that Clinton
Cash did not somehow live up to its hype is just not true.
In fact, Clinton Foundation
donations plummeted after Hillary Rodham Clinton–Bill’s wife and the 2016
Democrat presidential nominee–lost the election to President Donald Trump four
years ago. What’s more, many independent investigations like stories in the New York Times by Jo Becker have upheld
the key findings in the book surrounding the Clinton Foundation and the Uranium
One scandal.
Even the George Soros-funded Center
for Responsive Politics admits in a news story that the Clinton Foundation’s
backers seem to have lost interest in the organization in the wake of Clinton’s
2016 election loss. In November 2019, OpenSecrets News–the Center for
Responsive Politics’ publication arm–published a piece detailing the sharp drop in donations to the Clinton
Foundation under the headline: “Clinton Foundation cash flow continues to drop
years after 2016 election loss.”
The organization wrote:
The Clinton Foundation’s $30.7 million revenue last year is less
than half the $62.9 million it raised in 2016 as Clinton was at the height of
her presidential campaign. Each of the two years since Clinton’s loss in the
2016 election has seen the organization’s revenue drop to record lows, raising
less than any fiscal year in more than a decade — a sharp contrast to the $249
million raised during Clinton’s first year as secretary of state.
What Urena’s tweets casting doubt on
Schweizer’s forthcoming book more accurately demonstrate, however, is that the
official channels of the highest levels of the Democrat Party–Urena is former
President Bill Clinton’s press secretary–are worried about this Profiles in Corruption book
and what it may reveal about top Democrats. And they’re so worried they’re
already, ten days before its public release, publicly rebutting the book before
they even see what’s in it.
