Hunter Biden’s ridiculous legal letter trying to distract from real scandal — Joe Biden

Let’s keep our eye on the ball, kids. Hunter Biden is a sideshow.

There is only one question that matters, one question that ought to be riveting our attention, and Congress’ attention, regarding what is deceptively labeled the “Hunter” Biden investigation: When President Barack Obama made his vice president, Joe Biden, the point man for US policy regarding such authoritarian, anti-American regimes as China and Russia, and such notoriously corrupt regimes as Ukraine, why did agents of those regimes believe it was in their interest to pay millions of dollars to the Biden family?

The president’s troubled, unstable son is beside the point, except to the extent that his supposed business acumen was the pretext for these money flows.

What we need to know is: What did the Chinese believe they were buying?

Hunter is in the news, playing the victim, trying to make it all about him. In this, he’s got a lot in common with the Biden administration, which would have you believe that the Justice Department’s seemingly endless criminal investigation is all about Hunter, not about President Biden’s knowledge of and participation in the lucrative Biden family business of cashing in on his political influence.

These are quite intentional distractions.

Hunter Biden is a sideshow.

The critical matter in the Biden probe is not the possible criminal liability of Hunter — or, for that matter, any other Biden. Potential prosecution is a second- or third-order issue, at best. The thing that matters most is the national security of the United States. The material question is whether American policy toward hostile regimes is being influenced by the millions of dollars that agents of those regimes paid the Bidens.

All the Biden’s are criminals, no doubt about it. Espionage, treason, they’ve done it all. Impeach the idiot currently occupying the white house.

Right out of the Clinton playbook of attacking the accusers.
My gut feeling though, is that there is an ulterior plan.

If Hunter Biden can get away with this, using Biden friendly judges, that would be just step one. Step two would be trying to get any information/evidence from the laptop, as well as any information/evidence garnered as a result of leads from the laptop, being thrown out in his legal case because it was all acquired without a warrant issued to Hunter Biden. I believe the original warrant the FBI used to pickup the laptop from Mac Issac was issued to Issac.

No need for pardons here, all you need are the right judges . . .

The United States Code provides that a person attempting to communicate with any foreign government about the United States’ national defense will be punished by death or by imprisonment under 18 U.S.C. §794.

Funny that Andrew, the consummate candy ass when it comes to forcefully calling out obvious Demonic Party illegalities, states that the “sideshow” ends with Resident Moron, when Ohole is just as complicit.

Surely correct. FTA:

When President Barack Obama made his vice president, Joe Biden, the point man for US policy regarding such authoritarian, anti-American regimes as China and Russia, and such notoriously corrupt regimes as Ukraine, .....

I would then ask why Obama ordered an end to limitations on classified documents to allow a VP to also de-classify in certain cases. One might speculate he knew some docs would need some disappearing after good ol' Joe from Scranton was done.

This needs investigation. As I understand it, this was never allowed prior to Obie/Biden.

This amounts to another scandal of itself:

The President’s corrupt son is pushing federal employees who work for his father to misuse federal power to harass his father’s political adversaries.

Hunter Biden should be investigated and charged for this.

give hussein credit for another document he signed, the SMMA (Smith-Mundt Modernization Act) which authorized us gummit to distribute propaganda in the USA....

excerpt:

The SMA established that via the Broadcasting Board of Governors (BBG), Voice of America (VOA), and Radio Free Europe (RFE), the U.S. State Department and Office of Public Affairs were authorized to disseminate propaganda to foreign publics, but were strictly prohibited from releasing that same propaganda in America for public consumption. Put simply, our government was permitted to lie to people in other countries, but not to us here at home.

This prohibition was lifted in 2012, when the SMMA was signed into law by President Obama, allowing the same propaganda disseminated by our government to foreign publics, to now be released in the U.S. for the very first time.

Well, since Hunter has nothing in the way of a defense, it seems it doesn’t matter what play he makes. Maybe his lawyers are even bigger crack-heads than Biden? But that is one bizarre bunch of charges.
