May 12th, 2019<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Yesterday, Rudy Giuliani called Trump\u2019s Attorney General, William Barr, \u201cindependent, brilliant and honest.\u201d Translated from Giulianese into Realspeak, that means that Barr is a servile flunky, dull-witted, and corrupt. Translating Giuliani is pretty easy, as it turns out. Just take whatever he says and invert it. Black is actually white, up is down, and Trump is wisdom and integrity personified. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But then after about five minutes of speaking, Giuliani\u2019s 32 kilobits of RAM is depleted, his buffer is empty, and the inadvertent truths start tumbling out. His eyes go blank, he starts sweating profusely, and Fauxnews suddenly has to go to commercial. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

He is the face of an administration that exists on typos, lies and cruelty. He\u2019s a perfect match.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So why is he yakking about the Barrbarous One, anyway?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Well, Rudy managed to get his tail in a real crack this week. He planned to travel to the Ukraine as part of a mission to dig up dirt on the present leader of the Democratic thundering herd, Joe Biden. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Well, not Joe, actually. His son, Hunter. Hunter Biden. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now, Hunter isn\u2019t an angel. He got popped for cocaine in 2014 and got kicked out of the Naval Reserve as a result. He also joined the board of Ukraine\u2019s largest natural gas companies, Burisma Holdings, <\/span>owned by Mykola Zlochevsky. Burisma in general and Zlochevsky in particular have been under a dark cloud of official suspicion of corruption for years, culminating in the Serious Fraud Office of the British government seizing some $23 million in Zlochevsky\u2019s assets.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

However, doing a fraud investigation on a Ukraine company is a bit like fishing for a particular turd in a septic tank. It\u2019s dark, and there\u2019s nothing to make a particular turd stand out. The Crown, confronted with systematic intransigence from the Ukraine government, eventually abandoned the investigation, unlocking the assets and paying the legal bills. That removed the legal liability, but not the suspicion. To give you some idea of how bad things are in the Ukraine, Zlochevsky, president of a natural gas company, had been the Minister of Ecology under the now-exiled Viktor Yanukovych.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s nearly as bad in the Ukraine as it is in Trumpistan, the former United States. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t help that Hunter has close associations with Morgan Stanley and other Wall Street outfits. That doesn\u2019t reassure as regards his business ethics and scruples. He\u2019s was also banging his late brother\u2019s widow after the brother, Beau, died. He proclaimed his love publicly, but this still had a fairly high element of creepiness about it. They broke up earlier this month, just about the time Daddy announced he was running for President. Pure coincidence, I\u2019m sure.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Since the Ukraine activities ceased, he founded a hedge fund in China called Bohai Harvest RST, and the three billion dollar fund has involvement in various unsavory activities, such as mass surveillance and harassment of Moslems in China.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So it\u2019s not too unreasonable to have questions about the activities of Hunter Biden. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But there\u2019s never been any evidence that Joe Biden was involved in any of this. Indeed, as this was going on, his other son, Beau, was dying of brain cancer, which ensured Joe\u2019s attention was elsewhere.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But the Ukraine thing was four years ago. Investigations wen<\/span>t nowhere, and that particular turd eventually decomposed.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But now this month, Giuliani planned to go to the Ukraine in hopes the present Ukraine government could dig up some dirt on Joe Biden. It\u2019s illegal to solicit campaign interference from a foreign government, but Giuliani probably looked at Trump and figured that if the President does it, it must be legal, and blabbed his intentions to the press. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I think the poor fool was honestly amazed at the reaction he got. In any event, he hurriedly canceled the trip, blaming Democrats and, weirdly, the Ukrainians. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Well, lo and fucking behold, here comes that Lion of Liars, <\/span>the Parson of Persiflage, the Trumpty of Dumpty, Captain Pissmop himself, who declares grandly that Hunter Biden\u2019s activities in the Ukraine need to be investigated, and is ordering his Attorney General, the \u201cindependent, brilliant and honest\u201d William Barr, to open an investigation. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, four years after the fact, and long after other investigations had closed on the matter.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Trump obviously feels that nobody should be near the White House who may have solicited illegal campaign meddling from foreign governments and been involved in shady financial dealings in the countries run by such governments. Why, to Trump, such a horrible situation was totally unthinkable. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So that\u2019s why Giuliani was suddenly calling the sluggish William Barr \u201cindependent, brilliant and honest.\u201d He needs some cover, and having Trump\u2019s pet oaf of an A-G throw shade at Biden by attacking his son struck him as wise and patriotic (remember to translate from Giuliani to realspeak, now). <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The remarkable speed with which Trump came up with the notion of having Barr investigate Hunter Biden tells us this: Trump originally told Giuliani to go to the Ukraine and get dirt from their government on the son of the now-leading Democrat he might have to face in 2020. If Trump hadn\u2019t already known about it, he would have done what he usually does when Rudy does something exceptionally stupid and unexpected, and just left him to twist in the wind. The fact that he overreacted so quickly tells us he\u2019s looking to cover his own ass, at least to the extent that he\u2019ll give Rudy enough cover that Rudy won\u2019t panic and blow the whistle on Trump. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And we think the Ukraine is corrupt.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If I ever run into Robert Mueller, I\u2019m going to have to ask him what bait he uses to go fishing in the Trumpistan septic tank for a particular turd.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Well, Mueller will be appearing before Congress later this month. I don\u2019t guess he\u2019ll have any thoughts on Hunter Biden, but he will tell us about life in Septic Washington.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
