Since it would appear that Hunter Biden has done some crime this seems perfectly reasonable.
And since nothing short of summary execution of the entire Biden family will satisfy the Republicans, this will change nothing.
Yes and no.
Firstly, Trump already had his guy investigating Hunter, and when the Biden admin came in, they allowed that investigation to continue, with the unprecedented step that Trump’s c guy didn’t even have to answer Biden’s DoJ.
From that investigation they found … nothing. No Biden crime family. Nothing. Some minor tax issues and also Biden lied on a gun application by saying he wasn’t a drug addict. It’s bad, sure but absolutely nothing to do with the allegations that started the investigation.
So essentially we have a private citizen that’s been investigated to an obscene degree. But Republicans can’t let it go, because if there’s one thing that defines them it’s that they fiercely believe things that have no evidentiary basis, and no amount of logic or reason can change their minds.
So, I don’t know what this nonsense is, with Garland appeasing the right wing even further on this. It’s harassment of Hunter at this point, not any actual pursuit of the truth.
Meanwhile Trump’s own family nakedly traded favors for cash when Trump GAVE THEM JOBS IN HIS ADMINISTRATION, and Garland isn’t even investigating those deals…I mean, the Saudi’s gave Trump’s son-in-law $2 BILLION.
Garland is once again opting for the appearance of impartiality, instead of actually faithfully executing his duties impartiality.
The Trump crime family is a real thing that we’ve all seen hard evidence of. The Biden crime family is a fiction. He’s acting as if it’s the other way around. Shame on him.
