The Timing of George Santos' Arrest Is Simply Shameless

Wednesday has certainly not been a dull news day, and there’s still about half of it left as of this writing.

To start, we got the bombshell press conference by the House Oversight Committee detailing an alleged pay-to-play scheme run by the Biden Family. Millions of dollars changed hands through a network of mysterious companies, enriching a long list of the president’s relatives. That investigation will now move into its next phase, which will include subpoenaing bank records to try to track down where all the money ended up.

The thread begins here, but some highlights include the fact that “a network of over 20 companies” was formed by the Bidens and their associates, many during Joe Biden’s vice presidency, at least $10 million from foreign nationals was paid to Biden family members, their companies, and business associates, that in addition to money from China, there were payments from Romania, as well, and that there were steps taken to conceal these transactions.

Of course, right on time, the DOJ decided to change the subject. As RedState reported, troubled GOP representative George Santos was arrested on charges of wire fraud just after House Republicans took the podium. Guess what everyone is now talking about?

Are we really supposed to believe that’s a coincidence? Out of all the days that the DOJ could have executed an arrest of Santos, it just so happened to be on the one day that Biden and his corrupt family needed political cover. I mean come on. It’s ridiculous to keep thinking the DOJ’s partisan actions over the last few years are just happening by sheer chance.

But let’s look at the situation from another angle. The DOJ managed to whip up a case involving multiple counts of wire fraud against Santos in what appears to be less than a year. Yet, the same DOJ still refuses to make a decision on whether to charge Hunter Biden or not, even as the 2024 election approaches. Keep in mind, the Hunter Biden investigation has been going on for about half a decade.

When a Republican is involved, the DOJ is a highly efficient, well-oiled machine. They can start an investigation and have charges filed in the blink of an eye. When Democrats are involved, though, things slow to a snail’s pace which just so happens to protect high-ranking party members from the political fallout of their actions.

Remember, there’s not even any argument that the DOJ just needs more time in the case of Hunter Biden. Multiple law enforcement sources have revealed that the evidence to charge has long existed and that the investigation itself has been essentially done for the last year. Yet, the US Attorney in Delaware continues to sit on his hands. But when it comes to Santos, the DOJ is Johnny on the spot, ready to rock and roll at a moment’s notice if it helps narrow the power dynamics in the House.

Sorry, I simply don’t believe any of this is coincidental at this point.
