So there was a clear Biden angle in impeachment. But almost no discussion of another, undeniably consequential Biden angle. And that concerned how the Ukraine investigation got started. 2/12 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-yorks-daily-memo-the-biden-angle-in-trump-impeachment">https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/b...
Remember the whistleblower? His anonymous complaint started investigation. Democrats did everything in their power to keep his identity a secret. They succeeded. 3/12 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-yorks-daily-memo-the-biden-angle-in-trump-impeachment">https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/b...
But in August 2019, Intelligence Community inspector general conceded whistleblower showed & #39;some indicia of an arguable political bias...in favor of a rival political candidate.& #39; That candidate was Joe Biden. 4/12 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-yorks-daily-memo-the-biden-angle-in-trump-impeachment">https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/b...
On October 4, 2019, ICIG testified before House Intelligence Committee. Republicans asked: What were the & #39;indicia& #39;? IG said whistleblower had a & #39;professional relationship& #39; with 2020 Democratic candidate. Did not name Biden. 5/12 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-yorks-daily-memo-the-biden-angle-in-trump-impeachment">https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/b...
Later Republicans learned more about that & #39;professional relationship. Vice President Biden was Obama point man on Ukraine. Whistleblower worked closely with Biden on those issues. 6/12 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-yorks-daily-memo-the-biden-angle-in-trump-impeachment">https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/b...
Bottom line: A man with & #39;arguable political bias& #39; for Joe Biden leveled the charge that grew into Trump impeachment, which Democrats hoped would cripple the president politically going into re-election campaign against...Joe Biden. 7/12 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-yorks-daily-memo-the-biden-angle-in-trump-impeachment">https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/b...
It was done under cover of anonymity that Democrats strictly enforced. Schiff forbade Republicans from asking any questions that might point toward whistleblower& #39;s political biases. Has kept ICIG testimony secret to this day. 8/12 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-yorks-daily-memo-the-biden-angle-in-trump-impeachment">https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/b...
There can be no matter of greater public import than an attempt to remove a President of the United States. Yet Democrats did it with the aid of a public official with a political motivation whom they insisted must remain anonymous. 9/12 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-yorks-daily-memo-the-biden-angle-in-trump-impeachment">https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/b...
Now, the question is whether that anonymity should continue, even as voters decide whether to give the president another term -- or whether to elect the anonymous accuser& #39;s favored candidate, Joe Biden. 11/12 https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-yorks-daily-memo-the-biden-angle-in-trump-impeachment">https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/b...
