Jonathan Turley writes for The Hill:
The Bidens have shown a legendary skill at evading legal accountability. Even in the face of overwhelming evidence, Biden family members often marshal political allies and media to kill investigations or cut sweetheart deals. It turns out that it may be something of a family trait acquired through generations of natural selection.

Donald Trump’s father, Fred Trump, was arrested twice: in 1927 during a Ku Klux Klan riot, and in 1976 over code violations at a building he owned in Maryland. Turns out that the evasion of accountability may be something of a family trait acquired through generations of natural…

It cost $91,000 a year to attend @gwlaw to be taught by someone who actually wrote a piece about natural selection.

Wait until Turley finds out that Trump’s grandfather was a pimp, a tax cheat, and a draft dodger…and that Trump’s dad – among other things – was arrested at a Klan rally in 1927. https://t.co/UdLSNT0w74

They have nothing on Biden. Or his father. Or his grandfather. Or even his great grandfather. They have to go all the way back to his great great grandfather, who President Lincoln (a Republican) pardoned. 😂😂😂 https://t.co/MQaeWsIM5N
