The Raw Deal (9 June 2023) with Joachim Hagopian

The new Trump indictment took up the early portions of the show, where I had invited Joachim to address the latest in Ukraine, but it was preempted by this latest legal absurdity. No doubt the politics are apparent: With new revelations of $5 million bribes to then-VP Biden and another #5 million to Hunter (for changes to policy, which could only be done by Barack Obama, who had to be getting his cut), the need for a massive distraction was powerful--and was attained by means of a legal action all but unprecedented in US history, where the admin brings about charges against its leading political opponent. No one is being played--apart from DEM true believers who have a visceral dislike of Donald Trump. Alan Dershowitz, for example, suggested the evidence had better be extremely strong to justify such a thing (and we all know that it will fall far short). Dan Bongino brought up more important points, where there seem to be three motives: (1) distract from the proof of corruption of Biden and his son; (2) once more, try to find a way to block Trump from running in 2024 (where all the signs point to a massive victory); and (3) to embroil him in distractions, when the invasion taking place on our border with Mexico demand leadership NOW, lest the country become embroiled in civil war with an army of migrants who are being supplied with weapons by the Biden admin itself. The FBI has been forced to acknowledge the existence of a witness report to Biden's corruption, which should have been the lead story (but was suppressed by the Trump indictment). So how many indictments of Hunter Biden: 0 indictments; "The Big Guy": 0 indictments; The Clintons: 0 indictments; Epstein's clients: 0 indictments; Anthony Fauci: 0 indictments; DC Insider Traders: 0 indictments; Iraq War Criminals: 0 indictments; COVID Criminals: 0 indictments; Mishandling documents: MASSIVE TRUMP INDICTMENT. Stunning. I am no longer proud of the nation I have served, which has become an international embarrassment. Joachim and I agree that Putin is fighting the good fight and that he has to take all of Ukraine, even though that does not appear to have been his original plan.
