Finally…. yes, let us discuss Ken Vogel the master of access journalism and preacher of whataboutism. He needs to be treated like Maggie Haberman.

I went to journalism school with Ken and traveled in the same circles during college. I am keenly aware of who he is and what he is not. Libertarians are insufferable wankers.

My thoughts: It seems strange as well to me as well that Biden would join the Navy Reserve at his age, requiring a drug waiver and then immediately failing a drug test afterwards. Seems like that would be the kind of thing you would know not to do. It also seems strange that after failing the drug test in June 2013 he wasn't discharged until February 2014, supposedly still able to take advantage of training in the program. It should be noted that there is no official documentation of Biden failing a drug test. It comes from unnamed sources. Two months after supposedly being kicked out, he's serving simultaneously on the board of Burisma in Ukraine and BHR in China. Biden was originally commissioned as a public affairs officer but the other popular program in the Navy Reserve is for intelligence officer. In this time could he have been groomed for being an intelligence source? If that was the case, it only makes sense that he wouldn't be subject to prosecution. I noted that similarly during the FBI's investigation of Trump's campaign in 2016, Carter Page was the only target not to be prosecuted, he who was previously a CIA informant and another Naval Intelligence officer. Of course it's highly speculative, but still more believable than him being the embarrassing crackhead son of a prominent politician while still proactively working as an international businessman.
