If were going to create transparently idiotic, partisan standards on the fly, they should be applied to everyone in government.

If Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has an ethical obligation to recuse himself from all cases related to the Jan. 6 riots because his wife Ginni has opinions on the matter, as most Democrats contend, its clear that President Joe Biden has a moral responsibility to step back from any more decisions concerning Ukraine and China.

Now that The New York Times and Washington Post have both authenticated the Hunter Biden e-mails a story the media and tech conglomerates suppressed on the flimsiest of pretexts to help Joe win the 2020 election its also whats right for democracy. Thats how this works, right?

The Biden case is potentially worse because Hunter, under criminal investigation, implicates his father as fiscal beneficiary in his dealings with corrupt Eastern European energy interests and the ChiComs.

Its plausible, of course, that Hunter and his business partner Tony Bobulinski might have been lying about the Big Guy. Its also true that if this story were about any Republican president, the media would be deploying squadrons of reporters to find out. After all, the president has previously said not only that he did not benefit from Hunters work but that he knew absolutely nothing about his sons influence peddling.

And yet there is much circumstantial evidence available that leads us to believe Joe could be lying. For instance:

And the biggest question the press should be asking the president is: Did Joe ever benefit financially from any of Hunters dealings?

The answer might very well still be No. There is, after all, no hard evidence to say otherwise (and, considering the lack of urgency of the institutional press to look into these matters, were probably never going to find out).

However, on a number of occasions during the past five years, I can recall reading deeply reported profiles about the business dealings of the previous presidents children. Journalists and pundits, quite understandably, wondered if the president himself had been aware of their dealings. They wondered if such relationships should be considered unethical.

Then again, even if Joe Biden were completely unaware of his sons machinations, the Clarence Thomas Standard states that it doesnt matter. Joe must recuse himself from making any foreign-policy decisions for the sake of democracy. Otherwise, he should, as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez maintains, be impeached.
