VOX, NY Times, and others, are reporting that Hunter Biden investigation is "intensifying"

"Federal prosecutors’ investigation into Hunter Biden is heating up and the indictment of the president’s son is a real possibility, a recent series of reports suggests.

The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, ABC News, CBS News, CNN, and the Associated Press have all published stories in recent weeks with a similar theme: the investigation, run by the US attorney’s office in Delaware, has gotten increasingly active, with witnesses testifying to a grand jury.

The investigation focuses on Hunter Biden’s well-compensated work for foreign interests over the past decade or so, particularly for businesses or tycoons in Ukraine, China, and Kazakhstan. The main legal questions appear to be whether Hunter violated tax laws, committed money laundering, or acted as an unregistered foreign lobbyist."

The best way for Hunter Biden to avoid charges is to change his name to trump

1. Every time somebody mentions Hunter Biden they are spreading a Russian talking point


Every time somebody mentions Hunter Biden and his laptop they are spreading a Russian talking point.
This is Hillary and her emails 2.0.

A New Report Adds Evidence That Trump Was a Russian Asset
He helped Putin manipulate the U.S. election in 2020, as he did in 2016.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/03/trump-russian-asset-election-intelligence-community-report.html

Attacks on Biden and his son, Hunter, were part of this operation. Through “US officials and prominent US individuals, some of whom were close to former President Trump and his administration,” the report says Russia’s intelligence services “repeatedly spread unsubstantiated or misleading claims about President Biden and his family’s alleged wrongdoing related to Ukraine.” In this way, Trump’s circle “laundered” the Russian-planted stories, which were then recirculated—and promoted by Russia’s online proxies—as American news.

? for the NY Times how much money did Ivanka and Jared walk with?

8. Unfortunately, it isn't just the NY Times. The problem I have, is that there is this has nothing to do with President Biden, but the real possibility that much of the illustrious media will misrepresent that fact.

Unlike the Flynn, trump's children, trump himself, and others, where they were part of the government committing not only illegal activities and conflicts of interest, but actually trying to overthrow the government, and a legitimate election, I won't be surprised if the media outlets will ignore that difference, and set it up with a false equivalency

3. Any stories

about Jared Kushner securing that $2 billion investment from the Saudi Government against the advice of their money managers?

4. It's my understanding that they are determining if the means in which Biden paid past taxes....Was done legally. This one should be over soon as the information is in the hands of those who need it in order to make a decision.

7. Unfortunately it's not. What IS bullshit is that we know about it

And that we don’t hear a peep about other investigations into Trumpworld except when prominent prosecutors resign in protest.

The scolds tell us that these investigations are completely airtight!!@@$$?!

No leaks!!??@&$(

Of course they’re investigating #Traitor! Jarvanka! Don Jr and Eric! TrumpCo!

10. It's based on an imaginary laptop. Trump tried to blackmail Zelenskyy to fabricate more bullshit.

This case will fall apart quickly.

15. The tax issues unfortunately are probably real

Iirc, the money and tax issues stem from the bad drug addicted phase of his life.

Maybe he did navigate the nuances of FARA reporting etc….

That would be hard to imagine though.

Be that as it may, the Trump clan did all of that and more. Why no investigations there? (Or leaks)

11. A big who cares...all this time and money on this and they still got nothing and even if

they manage to prosecute Hunter so what? He is not an elected official. But I bet they don't.

13. I am so sick of this BS!

First of all, Hunter Biden doesn’t matter.

Secondly, TFG and his crime family do, and we hear nothing, or very little, from the MSM about them!

19. Let's look at the bright side. If they go after Hunter Biden, they have to go after every

other rich kid's son or daughter. It's like an end to a legacy program.

Maybe that's the point of going after Hunter Biden? It opens the door to clean up problems that are everywhere else?
