George Washington University Law School faculty member Jonathan Turley has alleged in an opinion piece for The Hill that criminality from Biden and his family may be a trait inherited through generations.
Turley linked this trait to a relative of Biden, Moses Robinette, a government contractor during the Civil War, who was sentenced to two years of hard labor for attempted murder. According to Turley, Robinette was eventually pardoned through the influence of friends and political allies, arguing to then-President Lincoln that he was opposing traitors.
From Turley:
“Robinette was found guilty at trial, severely cut an unarmed man, but was freed with the help of a U.S. senator with a plea that he was a loyal political ally.
“Whatever the true merits, it showed the importance of having friends in high places. Or, as the president once put it more bluntly, “No one f**ks with a Biden.” It is family scripture that runs from Moses to James to Joseph.
“One hundred sixty years later, Moses’s great-great-grandson was found by a special counsel to have willfully retained classified material, mishandled that material for decades, and to have probably shown the classified material to a ghostwriter who lacked clearance. He was spared any criminal charge in part because he would make a sympathetic defendant due to his diminished mental faculties.”
Despite Republican prompts for proceedings, President Biden faces a shrinking impeachment threat concerning allegations of corruption and bribery. His son, Hunter Biden, has been called to testify in the impeachment inquiry, however, both parties deny allegations of misconduct.
