How to answer questions
Excuses from the Joe Biden camp around his growing scandals have multiplied like Hillary Clinton’s reasons for losing the 2016 presidential election.
A truly odd one was put forth last week when the former vice president was exposed as being one of those in the Obama administration who called for the unmasking of then-incoming Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn in surveillance reports.
The unprecedented revelation of Flynn’s name is part of the growing understanding of the Obama administration’s political plan to entrap Flynn in order for him to somehow reveal incoming President Donald Trump’s supposed role in collusion with Russia in the election.
It was left to Andrew Bates, the Biden camp’s director of rapid response, to try to deny Biden’s culpability. Denying it was expected; what came next was typical of Democrats who are out of answers.
