Cover-Up

After a two-year investigation, conducted by a largely partisan group of Democrat-leaning investigators and led by the supposedly unimpeachable Robert Mueller, found that there was no collusion between Donald Trump and the Russians, Nancy Pelosi stated: "Just as I have said to the president: With him [Trump], all roads lead to Putin ... I don't know what the Russians have on the president, politically, personally, or financially."

Fair enough. 

But now Joe Biden is president, and in light of breaking media revelations that (after more than a year of disinterest and censorship) there may be merit to the assertion that COVID-19 was mistakenly released from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIoV) after the virus was genetically modified in what is called "gain-of-function" research. The story is even more explosive, but we'll skip the gory details involving Obama-era funding of the Wuhan lab along with Anthony Fauci's now proven obfuscation on that and related subjects.

Rather, there are a few complementary questions that absolutely, positively need to be asked, but like the media blackout that was associated with the WIoV for over a year, those questions have been assiduously avoided by the Democrats and their trained hamsters in the media today. John Kass comments:

When his father was vice president, as then-President Barack Obama's point man in China and Ukraine, future first son Hunter followed the big guy off the planes and made friends in China and Ukraine. Hunter reportedly made millions.

It's important to examine, especially now, even as much of the Democrat-friendly corporate media is strenuously avoiding the Hunter Biden story, which may turn out to be like the Wuhan lab leak story -- one that was ignored by the media for political reasons and then rediscovered for political reasons.

The New York Post is on it, but others step away. The president's son is under federal investigation for tax fraud, his famous laptop is now in the custody of the FBI, and photos are circulating of Joe Biden at dinner with Hunter's business friends. Keep in mind the Biden folks have never forthrightly disputed the material on the laptop. Instead, they have followed the lead of Hunter Biden who has said he "doesn't know" if the laptop is his.

C'mon, man.

And still, the media doesn't seem all that interested in what it could mean. I'm sure China is interested ...

The mainstream media is also quite corporate, and is finally getting around to asking if COVID-19 -- the virus that became a pandemic and has killed more than 3 million people worldwide -- leaked out of a lab in Wuhan and not from the hapless corpse of a pangolin in a nearby wet market, which was the story originally sold and swallowed by most journalists and Democrats.

The questions, of course, are simple: Will the Biden administration avoid investigating the true origin of COVID-19, and even if they trace it to the WIoV, will they bury the report? If they do those things, is it because the Chinese have information that might reflect badly on Biden?—information derived from Hunter Biden's very questionable dealing with the Chinese.

It's important to note that NO ONE has provided evidence that Hunter Biden's interaction with the Chinese was anything but influence peddling; that the money he "earned" was anything but "pay for play," and that the allusion to the "big guy's 10 percent" was anything but a reference to his father (then out of office).

The propaganda media engages in 'investigative disinterest' whenever they encounter a story that somehow threatens to attack their preferred political party or chosen narrative. By doing that, they are actively engaged in a cover-up. And by doing that (to paraphrase Nancy Pelosi), "We don't know what the Chinese have on the president, politically, personally, or financially."

And you know what they say ... the cover-up is often proven to be even worse than the original crime.
