Is this a weird theory?

I'm as angry as everyone about what the Senate is doing, but I have a weird theory about a silver lining:

I think Joe Biden is now inoculated against almost any dirt that the orange menace and his Magats could throw at him. We know they are willing to pay anyone to make up any dirt to throw Biden's way, and all we have to say is "yeah, well it was obviously manufactured by Dump and the Russians who obviously paid some other country to put it out there, and have it wind up on the web so that the magats could lap it up."

Anyone who is undecided about this scandal (hard to imagine, but...) can be easily persuaded that it is just another one of the whitehouse's schemes to dirty up Biden. And any magat never needed a scandal to persuade them in the first place. No other candidate--not even my favorite, Warren--has this kind of protection.

Curious if anyone agrees.

On edit: Just to clarify, I don't really think there is any "dirt" out there on Biden. He's been in politics so long I think his life is pretty much an open book. But assuming that Dump and his criminal buds wanted to manufacture something (not that they would EVER do anything like that ) It will be trivial to discount it as what it is: made up dirt.

It doesn't mean Dump won't attempt to tar him with it, but I don't think it will be effective. Also, on a side note, be suspicious of any DEM who wants or wanted Biden to testify. It's likely because they think it would help their candidate in some way.
