The total weaponization of the federal government is happening.
Kamala claimed that if Trump wins, he’ll weaponize the government against his political opponents. That’s the most obvious case of projection since the Kinsey report. The Biden-Harris administration uses every part of the government to run investigations of its political opponents on the most implausible of pretexts.
Like trying to put Trump on trial over a law created to stop the KKK from wearing masks on highways.
Or an investigation of RFK Jr over something that happened decades ago.
In 2012, Kick Kennedy, RFK Jr’s daughter, told a story to Town and Country Magazine about something her dad had supposedly done when she was six years old.
Kick’s taste for the extreme was fed by her dad’s eccentric environmentalism. Exhibit A: When she was six, word got out that a dead whale had washed up on Squaw Island in Hyannis Port. Bobby — who likes to study animal skulls and skeletons — ran down to the beach with a chainsaw, cut off the whale’s head, and then bungee-corded it to the roof of the family minivan for the five-hour haul back to Mount Kisco, New York. “Every time we accelerated on the highway, whale juice would pour into the windows of the car, and it was the rankest thing on the planet,” Kick recalls. “We all had plastic bags over our heads with mouth holes cut out, and people on the highway were giving us the finger, but that was just normal day-to-day stuff for us.”
Since Kick was supposedly born in 1988, this would have happened in 1994. Or 30 years ago. (RFK Jr describes it as being 20 years ago so maybe my math is off or his daughter’s age is.)
No one cared. Certainly no one launched investigations of RFK Jr.
Then RFK Jr not only campaigned against Biden, but endorsed Trump. And suddenly the event from 1994 was interesting again in the same way that Justice Kavanaugh’s high school yearbook was suddenly big news.
If there’s any ambiguity about this, let’s look at the timetable.
On Aug 23, RFK Jr dropped out and endorsed Trump.
On Aug 27, the Center for Biological Diversity Action Fund, a Democrat PAC attached to an environmentalist leftist nonprofit, which has endorsed Kamala, demanded that the Biden administration investigate RFK Jr over the whale.
“NOAA law enforcement should open an investigation and potentially bring charges against him,” the Center demanded, four days after RFK Jr had endorsed its political opponent.
The Biden administration’s NOAA waited a few weeks (the wheels of government grind slowly even when AG Garland is screeching on the phone and demanding action) before giving CNN the good news.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration confirmed on Monday it is investigating Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for allegedly decapitating a dead whale carcass and transporting it home two decades ago.
On Saturday, Kennedy said at a campaign event in Arizona he received a letter from the National Marine Fisheries Services, an organization that falls underneath NOAA, informing him he was under investigation for an incident he said occurred 20 years ago in which he collected a dead whale specimen.
A spokesperson for NOAA confirmed to CNN on Monday that Kennedy is under investigation for the incident.
“It is long standing NOAA practice not to comment on open investigations,” the spokesperson said.
Except to CNN. While investigating its political opponents for events that happened decades ago.
The Endangered Species Act has a 5-year statute of limitations. This isn’t an investigation, it’s government weaponization and election interference.
Congress could put a stop to this by zeroing out the NOAA’s enforcement budget. But that would require a spine. And that’s exactly why the NOAA decided to listen to the Biden-Harris administration instead of warning that it’s not a political organization.
The total weaponization of the federal government against political opponents is happening.
