As a political pundit, it’s one thing to write an article featuring one target-rich environment, but when you get an opportunity to hit two target-rich environments in the same article, it’s often comedy gold and almost always more fun than a writer should be allowed to have — with almost being the operative word.

With Joe Biden’s classified documents scandal continuing to deepen and the Democrat Party desperately standing in the breach, hyper-partisan geniuses Whoopi Goldberg, co-host of “The View,” and California Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell on Wednesday combined their wits [rolling-eyes emoji] to concoct the most ridiculous take yet on the classified documents scandal.

Swalwell kicked off the clown show by doing what he does best: pushing a debunked lie. The often-ridiculed congressman began by surprisingly suggesting a special counsel should be named, before spewing a complete crock of crap, as reported by NewsBusters:

So, I think this case – and special counsel, I think, is absolutely appropriate. This case will hinge on his knowledge and intent. It looks like once he was aware of this, he did what I hope everyone would do which was get the documents back to the government, cooperate in every meaningful way.

I know it’s natural to compare this to what the former President has done where it looks like he wanted to keep the documents and is litigating that and fighting it in the courts. What worries me with President Trump is someone who was willing to leverage $350 million of taxpayer money to get dirt on his opponent, as he did with the Ukrainians. If he has top secret documents in his possession, that he could leverage that for his own benefit.

Let’s summarize, as Swalwell sees it: Trump kept classified documents at Mar-a-Lago with the intent of selling them to America’s enemies.

Just one problem.

As even the Washington Post reported in November, federal agents and prosecutors believe Trump’s motive for allegedly taking and keeping classified documents was largely his ego — and a desire to keep the documents as trophies or mementos, according to people familiar with the matter.

In other words, Swally, your lie was debunked by federal agents two months or more ago.

No matter. Whoopi then waxed idiotic about her take on the scandal which, as she sees it, really isn’t a scandal at all. Why not? Because she believes (she claims, anyway) that Joe’s classified documents weren’t classified at all. What were they, instead? Baking or cooking recipes. No, really.

Emphasis, mine:

[T]his idea that the law is going to look and see — because we talk about it like we know that the documents are classified. We don’t know what’s in those boxes.

We have no idea what’s in those boxes and I want the law to look and say, ‘Man, this is recipes from some stuff he was trying to do with her,” and, you know.

Because I believe that every president has boxes full of stuff that at one point might have been, you know, classified, but you don’t take the stuff where it’s still hot.

Idiocy aside, none of the above makes a lick of sense.

Recipes that Joe and “Dr.” Jill might have made might have been classified at one point, but then declassified? Really? Besides, every president has “boxes full of stuff” he indiscriminately takes without the materials in those boxes first being inventoried? Sure, Whoopi — sounds legit.

The best part of nonsense like this is Democrats like Whoopi Goldberg, Eric Swalwell, Adam Schiff, Joe Biden, and other left-wing liars who spew it are completely clueless about how idiotic they look. That, or they don’t give a damn. And in Swalwell’s case, he twisted himself into a ridiculous pretzel as the hypocrisy meter exploded.

The left’s total lack of self-awareness is breathtaking. Let’s hope it continues.
