Interesting Timing

Today is the 2-year anniversary of Joe Biden's inauguration.  This is noteworthy because, as of today, his vice president could serve out the remainder of his term, and still serve two additional terms; this comes from the 22nd Amendment.  Coincident with this special date, all sorts of scandals have erupted around President Biden.  Of course, there are the documents found in a variety of places.  Mishandled documents was recently a valid basis for an FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago and calls for criminal prosecution of former President Trump.  Now we have emails that demonstrate Joe Biden's involvement in his son's business ventures, something he adamantly denied doing.  Then there is the news that Hunter was paying nearly $50K a month in rent for Joe Biden's Wilmington home.  None of this is new, but it is all getting revealed now.  Coincidence?  Unlikely.

The very people who kept all this out of the 2020 election are now unleashing it.  Why?  Was it all going to come out anyway on account of a Republican-controlled House so this is just an effort to get ahead of it?  Maybe.  Or is this an effort to push Joe aside so that President Harris will have the benefit of incumbency come 2024?  With her performance so far, I don't know that incumbency will help.  Then again, I didn't think Joe Biden was electable.
