Joe Biden has been hiding in the bunker. He did a phone call with MSNBC, but Jill has been doing the campaigning while exit negotiations are ongoing. However, someone controlling the schedule did decline a meeting with Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) Chairman Mark Warner, who is also the lead spokesperson/protector for the Intelligence Community, which is not really a good idea since the “seven ways to Sunday” group don’t like to be ignored.
“Warner had reportedly called the meeting in the wake of Biden’s performance in the first presidential debate late last month, and as several House Democrats have called on him to withdraw from the ticket. However, once plans for the “private” meeting became public, it was scrapped.”
So instead of having the meeting with Biden, Senator Warner just tweeted the instructions.
As much as I dislike Mark Warner, I do appreciate the transparency of the coded messaging he presents. So, let’s summarize it.
From the position of the intelligence community (IC) Joe Biden is less important than their priority of ensuring President Trump does not win reelection.
It is an existential and/or zero-sum battle from the standpoint of the IC. If Trump wins, they could be destroyed; ergo, Biden or someone, anyone, must defeat Trump. The IC doesn’t care who removes the threat Trump represents – that’s the “strongest path forward” part; however, Trump must be defeated.
Warner says Biden must take a meeting with the IC “broader group of voices,” and listen to them tell Biden -in person- what the real priority is. Joe Biden is less important than removing the threat Trump represents to them.
This meeting would essentially represent the “offer you cannot refuse”, “or else” meeting, that Biden is trying to avoid. The IC is not going to be ignored, so sayeth Mark Warner.
Don’t do anything else yet. We’ll give him a tweet, see how he responds, and if that doesn’t work, we’ll talk about options - like part of the Hur tape recordings or something… Sound fair?
Democrat politicians are rotting trash; their supporters are toxic waste.
