Mike Yardley: Joe Biden’s dodgy behaviour conveniently ignored

I suspect most people are not breathlessly following every unfolding burble, every sordid instalment of the Trump impeachment. It’s sucking up all the oxygen from the US political landscape.

CNN and Fox News are consumed by it, and will be for weeks to come. A binge fest. A smear fest. A hyper-partisan in all orgy. There is enough meat on the bone to feed the narrative of your choosing.

Was Trump’s desire to dig for dirt on Biden, by calling on the Ukraine to investigate as a favour, a constitutional outrage? Was it improper? Was it illegal? Does it meet the grade of High Crimes and misdemeanours?

The Democrats are falling all over themselves in the unseemly, rabid rush to judgement? My goodness, even Hillary remarked this week, let’s no rush to conclusions.

But there’s plenty of dirt emerging about Joe Biden’s impropriety as Vice President, under Obama.

How is it appropriate that Biden threatened to axe American aid earmarked for Ukraine, if they didn’t sack the prosecutor investigating the gas company that Biden’s son, Hunter, was a board member of?

If the Dems are so genuinely aggrieved by Trump’s improper needling, how can they possibly turn a blind eye on Biden’s infractions? They are one and the same. Joe Biden publicly bragged about heavying Ukraine to protect his military drop-out son from the prosecutor he called a son of a bitch?

Which raises another question.

Are the House Democrats so pathologically obsessed with destroying Trump, that they don’t care if Biden gets burnt in the process. Or thrown under the bus. He’s a centrist. The Dems no longer care about looking too extreme.

Given how left the Democratic base has swung, I suspect they’d see the downfall of Biden as a blessing in disguise.
