And my non-legal suspicion is that this whole series of events actually brings GOP oversight investigators further away from Joe Biden, because Hunter’s going to be untouchable for quite some time. And if I were really a cynic, I would say that special counsel David Weiss, who has zero credibility, decided to put Hunter on ice for exactly this reason.
I mean, I can just imagine the phone calls between Weiss and Attorney General Merrick Garland: Look, we’ve got to do something here because these IRS whistleblowers made such a strong case and Judge Noriega in Wilmington blew up the first phony deal beyond repair, so let’s protect their ultimate boss, Joe, by throwing Hunter under the bus just for a little while, put him on ice for the rest of the election period.
And if Papa Biden does beat Trump, well, he’ll undoubtedly pardon his son. In fact, press secretary KJP today said again that the president would never pardon his son, which of course, makes it all the more likely that that is exactly what the president would do. Remember the political axiom? Politicians say, no, no, no, right up until the time they say yes and that law will apply here, trust me. Or if Donald Trump should win, then Hunter will make some kind of deal, but yes, he’ll spend some time in the pokey. Not the worst thing in the world from the standpoint of his octogenarian father, who will whisper under his breath: Better him than me.
