The efforts of congressional Republicans and Fox News trying to smear and indict president Biden with allegations, innuendos, vitriolic exposes, hearsay, and missing whistleblowers sounds like a crazed Grimm fairy tale.

Only this time Rumpelstiltskin is trying to spin gold out of lies.

The Chairman of the House Judicial Committee repeated more allegations and hearsay on Fox News to yet again try to obfuscate for Trump and his legal difficulties while smearing President Biden and his family.

After playing video of Rep. Aguilar saying Jordan is chasing rainbows, Jordan was asked to respond.

"We're trying to get to the facts," Jordan lied. "So they can downplay it, but I think the country would like to know what's really going on with their current president and they'd like to know why, in fact, you're indicting a former president who's leading in every single poll, is a declared candidate for the 2024 presidential race, and is ahead in every single poll, and his opponent's Justice Department indicts him at 3 o'clock today."

Trump declared his candidacy because he knew indictments were coming in 2022, so that has no bearing on the case nor should any criminal activity be dismissed because of political aspirations.

The Justice Department doesn't run investigations using poll data, Gym.

Republican operatives like Harris Faulkner are so angry that congressional Republicans have failed to produce any actual evidence of wrongdoing by President Biden.

Words of warning. This can cause premature grey hair.
