Somebody should probably investigate that. Like, maybe, the House GOP. Maybe they could even publish a report of their findings.
This is the transcript of Ben Shapiro's podcast. Ask Res Ipsa how many people make partner at a major law firm like MBNA after just two years.
Senator Biden was the champion at the time of a bankruptcy reform that financial institutions like MB&A loved. MB&A was Senator Biden's largest source of campaign funds in that reelection. According to Byron York, according to FEC records, MB&A became, by far, Joe Biden's biggest single source of contributions. Company officials gave him $62,000 in the 1996 cycle.
Senator Biden and MBNA formed very tight ties. It's clear then, right after the election, Hunter was roped in. Hunter graduated law school in May 1996.
Within just a few months, he landed a job at MBNA. Less than two years after graduating law school at age 28, Hunter was a senior vice president at MBNA, which was his father's largest donor. Then Hunter passed through the revolving door to work at Bill Clinton's Commerce Department. After Clinton left office, Hunter cashed out and he went back to MBNA.
In the years, Hunter was a consultant for MB&A. MB&A was Senator Biden's largest source of campaign funds, easily. Employees and executives at MB&A give Biden more than 94 grand. So, yes, the corruption is endemic here.
By the way, no one becomes a partner at a law firm after two years. I went to Harvard Law School and then I worked at Goodwin Proctor, which is a major national law firm. You know how long it takes to become a senior associate at a major law firm? It will take you four, five, six years to become a senior associate.
To become a partner, you're talking like 15 years, two years to become a partner at MBNA, a major corporation. Yeah, there's something fishy going on here and there always has been, of course.
1. Even if we can trust both the honesty and rationality of Ben Shapiro's ravings and conclusions (which is highly questionable, based on what I have seen of his previous claims), he presented no evidence, that I could see, that President Biden did anything actually criminal or illegal.
2. Even at worst, what he accused Biden of, pales into insignificance compared to both the quantity and enormity of what Trump has already been indicted for, based on what seems to be very compelling, well documented evidence, some of the most damning of which has come from Trump's own stupid, inadvertently self-incriminating statements!
3. What you and Shapiro have presented is nothing but the weakest, least compelling, most desperate and most childish whataboutism. It is approximately on the same level as an immature child desperately trying to deflect attention from his own guilt by claiming that others were guilty of wrongdoing as well.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
