Politico brought the news to airy that Joe Biden end his “silence” about the trials against former President Donald Trump if a verdict is reached in the “hush money” trial, according to “four people familiar with the internal deliberations.”
The verdict could be announced as early as next week, with closing arguments taking place on Tuesday:
Biden intends to make the ruling first at the White House – rather than during his election campaign – to show that his statement is not political in nature, according to the people who were granted anonymity to discuss internal deliberations.
If the jury convicts Trump, Biden’s team will argue that the result shows Trump is unfit for office and that it shows the extremes to which the former president would go to win again. The campaign’s social media team is considering further exploiting this line of attack. There are discussions underway about referring to the ex-president online as “convicted felon Donald Trump.”
His team is also preparing for a barrage of attacks from Republicans and Trump if the former president is acquitted or the jury cannot reach a consensus.
The message may vary depending on the verdict, but the message you should understand is that “the system worked and the process should be respected”:
“This is an important moment and the president must first and foremost emphasize that the American system works, even and especially in an election year,” said one of the four anonymous interviewees. “And in a measured way, it will also be part of his argument against Trump: Do Americans really want this?”
Oh, what nonsense.
First of all, what “silence” is this report talking about? Do you mean the silence in which he mocks Trump for only being allowed to attend the trial on Wednesdays?

Notice how the DNC account repeated this jibe and added a “fire” emoji because they thought that was a good thing he said.
They didn’t stay quiet. And can we laugh again about how many cuts there were because Biden wasn’t able to do a 14-second clip without any issues?
PoliticoAnd what was the response? “Aside from a few jokes, the Biden team has largely stuck to that plan.”
Uh-yeah. It’s just a joke, folks, that Biden is trying to mock his opponent for a lawfare action pursued by a Democratic prosecutor.
It’s probably just a joke when Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) say Trump can’t campaign because he’s busy with legal proceedings.
Be quiet, my eye.
But does he really think that trying to attack Trump from the White House makes it less political? It’s a political attack, and the position he’s saying it from doesn’t change that. And it will only confirm what people already believe – which is that lawfare is about defeating Trump if they can’t defeat him at the ballot box. It also makes me think that he thinks there will be a conviction.
But if you object or denounce it, then you are not accepting that the “system” works here. If you are concerned about trials of political opponents and how this is contrary to the nature of America, then you have a problem. Oh, and to top it all off, they are considering insulting Trump if he is convicted.
Do they even have a point? Do they really think it’s a good idea to outdo Trump when people already think it’s political? They would just reiterate that. But that’s Joe, he’s almost always wrong.
