Inside the plot to replace elderly Joe Biden
The story offers no evidence whatsoever of any such plot. It's ridiculous on its face.
And it is laughably mistaken about involuntary removal of the president:
The DNC is hierarchical, disciplined and packed with Biden supporters; there’s no mechanism in place to move against the president if he doesn’t want to go.
Of course there's a mechanism if he doesn't want to go. It's just that it has nothing to do with the DNC. It's called the 25th Amendment:
Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.
But Stanley's evidently never heard of it. He spends zero time, zip, zilch, nada, telling us anything about Biden's cabinet secretaries' possible support for removing Biden on grounds of senility. Stanley doesn't even speculate about why Attorney General Merrick Garland allowed Robert Hur to get away with showcasing the president's incompetence to stand trial in the first place.
Is Garland actually the ring leader of a cabinet plot to remove Biden? We know Biden has been unhappy with Garland for now many months. Maybe Hur's report was the trial balloon, hoping to sniff out support in the rest of the cabinet.
But we'll never know because Tim Stanley was too lazy to do the leg work as a reporter to find that out.
