2) When I first heard about the Qatar plane deal, I also wondered how it would be “free” since it seemed to me that they would have to do extensive renovations on the plane to bring it up to Air Force One standards. And it would also seem to be a concern that they would never be able to really do that since the plane hadn’t been under their control the whole time. But it just shows that Trump (again) doesn’t care about stuff like national security. He’s more concerned with gold fixtures.
3) It has long been held that the more outlandish some conspiracy theory is, the easier it is to convince people that it’s true (see Goebbels, Joseph). So here we have a parallel. Maybe it’s easier to convince people that some act isn’t corrupt when it so brazenly and clearly is. Only time will tell.
4) “Years of fruitless investigations into former President Joe Biden’s family members about supposed profiting from government influence vanished from public view overnight”. There are two reasons that this is true
a) They never found any evidence
b) Biden decided not to run again. My belief is that if he had, Comer and Co. would have continued to flog the “Biden crime family” story. There just wasn’t much point in doing it after Biden bowed out. Look at the Benghazi investigation. At first, they laid the blame at Obama’s feet because he was running against Romney. They when Obama won reelection, the Reps shifted their focus to Clinton because she was viewed as the most likely nominee. They never cared about finding out the truth – they just wanted some scalps.

5) Never apologize for a good pun.
