Looks like the victories for former President Joe Biden and former First Lady Jill Biden continue to roll on in.
First, Biden’s former doctor invoked the Fifth Amendment repeatedly during an appearance before the House, in which he was expected to provide greater insight into the real state of the former president’s cognitive health while in office.
Now, it would appear that Jill Biden’s “work husband” is also invoking the Fifth Amendment with regards to whether or not Biden was “with it” when he used autopen throughout the duration of his presidency.
Needless to say, the recent autopen revelations have been highly damaging, to put it mildly, especially as the Democrat Party continues to scrape the bottom of the barrel in terms of approval ratings.
And they are likely to become even more damaging in light of another Biden associate pleading the fifth.
As detailed by The Hill, Anthony Bernal – Jill Biden’s chief of staff – recently pled the fifth during his own appearance before the House.
Specifically, Committee Chair James Comer asked Bernal “if any unelected official or family members executed the duties of the president,” undoubtedly counting Jill Biden among one of the potential “family members.”
In response, Bernal pled the fifth, which allows for individuals to avoid self-incrimination.
Naturally, Comer was not pleased.
“It’s no surprise that Anthony Bernal is pleading the Fifth Amendment to shield himself from criminal liability … This is a historic scandal and Americans demand transparency and accountability. We will continue to pursue the truth on their behalf and examine options to get the answers we need,” Comer asserted in a statement shortly after Bernal’s uninformative appearance before the House.
However, Bernal’s attorney – Jonathan Su – believes that his client took the correct approach, asserting that no evidence has surfaced regarding any potential wrongdoing.
As a result, Bernal is ostensibly best served by pleading the fifth, per Su.
“The Committee has sought testimony from Mr. Bernal for nearly two years, without any
actual evidence of wrongdoing by Mr. Bernal,” Su asserted.
Fair point … though another fair point is the fact that evidence can easily be buried, if not wholly destroyed, at that level of power.
Su proceeded to insist that Biden was always well aware of whatever he was signing, even if more than one strange public appearance suggests otherwise.
“Most recently, the Committee seeks Mr. Bernal’s testimony based on a purported controversy regarding use of the autopen at the conclusion of President Biden’s term. President Biden has already confirmed that he personally made all decisions concerning his grants of clemency,” Su added.
Well then. If only Bernal had affirmed that reality before the House … as that would sure help quell rising rumors regarding just how significantly Biden’s mental acuity really had declined.
