resident Biden’s backers are laying the groundwork to discredit and downplay any forthcoming revelations from Hunter Biden’s laptop after House Republicans announced plans to launch a federal investigation last week.
Ron Filipkowski, a former Republican and now ardent Democrat who pledged this month that he will be "forever grateful" to President Biden for saving the country from a second Donald Trump term, issued a tweet thread Monday arguing that while he has admittedly "avoided" the Hunter Biden subject for "a long time," there is no evidence to tie the first son’s business dealings to the president.
"It’s quite clear that Hunter was a very serious drug addict that went completely off the rails and did a lot of crazy stuff," Filipkowski wrote. "It also seems clear that he frequently used his dad’s name and alleged connections to make money and gain access. If the point is to embarrass, humiliate, & trash Hunter, that won’t be hard. But who cares? The only thing that makes any of this relevant for a congressional inquiry is whether Joe Biden was directly involved or [benefited] financially from what Hunter was up to. That is the problem for them. On that score, the evidence is sorely lacking."
"From what I have seen, which is a lot, they are going to have an extremely difficult time tying Hunter’s activities to Joe, and if they fail to do that, it will backfire on them to waste so much time, resources and hype on an exercise to show that Hunter was a corrupt drug addict who leveraged his family name for his own benefit," he said.

Filipkowski telegraphs the rat strategy to cover for Biden by throwing Hunter under the bus. Make it all about Hunter’s drug addiction and being out of control. Float the narrative that republicans are just trashing the president’ son out of spite because they “got nothing” on the president. Ignore the evidence of Biden’s criminal malfeasance in office.
Certainly seems like that is the strategy. I’ve wondered for some time about the brazenness of Bye-Done running for election at all given that what the family syndicate has been and is involved with is so massive in scale. One would think that it’s only possible to control the enemedia and the IC for so long before it all gets unraveled. He even had a warning from Obummer who must have been thinking about the risk when he said... “I told him Joe, you don’t need to do this.”
Son like father prisoner if justice is served.
