Joe Biden answers questions on forthcoming COVID19 origin probe, including one pretty stupid one

Posted at 3:06 pm on May 27, 2021 by Sarah D

We can only imagine how difficult it is to be Joe Biden right now, what with all the constant contradictions.

We learned yesterday that his administration had shut down a State Department investigation — an investigation launched at the request of Trump Secretary of State Mike Pompeo — into the origin of the COVID19 pandemic. Once that story broke, Biden suddenly called for a probe.

On Monday, Jen Psaki argued a U.S. led investigation on Covid-19 origin was not necessary.

Well, speaking of this new probe, here’s what Biden had to say about it earlier today:

Asked if he will release full results of the 90-day report he requested on the origins of coronavirus, Biden said: “Yes, that’s unless there’s something I’m unaware of.” Asked what he expects to get, Biden to @josh_wingrove: “If I knew that, I wouldn’t ask for a 90-day review.” https://t.co/HN2Go6FAq8

Well, that clears everything up.

Huh?

What, exactly, is the point of this exercise? Joe Biden’s answers aren’t really all that helpful, but then, to be fair, the second question is kind of silly. The probe needs to happen before we know the findings. That’s generally how things work.

It’s almost like the media and Joe Biden are both largely useless.

wow, some serious journalistic curiosity. Complete garbage

Well, at least one thing’s pretty certain:

Pretty obvious he didn't want to do this and only did so because of the exposure of his intervention in the ongoing State Dept investigation.

We definitely don’t need a reporter to tell us that.
