It's part of the scary thing that the Biden administration and the Left did, and that was take the government and use its powers to discredit opponents of the existing administration in the White House, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words” following the Department of Justice’s decision to charge two former FBI officials with allegedly lying to Congress about their knowledge of and involvement in investigations concerning Hunter Biden.

I know the left says, well, now the government's been weaponized.

It's not being weaponized.

All of these investigations, whether it's Ilhan Omar or these FBI agents, either had their origins with the Biden administration and were dropped or were deliberately never prosecuted even though there was culpability there. And what did these two people allegedly do?

They went up to Congress and they were under oath, and they were asked a series of questions mostly pertaining to two items.

Number one, the FBI had been in possession for over a year by the time of the 51 intelligence authorities' [officials] letter saying that Hunter's laptop was a product of Russian disinformation, the laptop.

OK, so they knew that was false. They, [had] already authenticated. Anybody who looked at the laptop, and there were things on the internet that were leaked out, you knew that it was authentic.

And then the second thing is they were working, the FBI, with social media, and especially the New York Post, to suppress that story because they were terrified as the last debate came in 2020 and Joe Biden was not prepared to answer all the incriminating questions that had arisen from that laptop.
