Democrats seek to separate President Biden from son Hunter's indictment as Republicans pounce
ABC News / Disney ^ | September 17, 2023 | By Tal Axelrod (D-ABC)

Democrats on Sunday sought to play down the ramifications in Washington from last week's indictment of Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden's son, while Republicans seized on the development.

In appearances on the Sunday public affairs show circuit, top Democrats noted the lack of firm evidence to back up Republicans' allegations that the president directly profited off of or influenced his son's business dealings while suggesting that the GOP is trying to distract from more important issues.

Polling indicates a large number of voters agree with Republicans' line of attack. A Quinnipiac University survey earlier this month found that half of voters thought President Biden was involved in Hunter Biden’s business dealings with China and Ukraine, while 40% thought the president was not involved.

Thirty-five percent of voters in that poll believed the president was involved and did something illegal, while 13% believe he was involved and did something unethical but nothing illegal.

Republicans, meanwhile, have hammered Hunter Biden's charges while claiming the indictment he faces on the firearm offense lets the president off easy in light of their continued claims of other impropriety.

Of course they would.It has nothing to do with the laptop. Their plan is to have him plead guilty to one or two misdemeanors,get six months of unsupervised probation and a $1,000 fine and then declare “Hunter is now off limits.Now it's time for Orange Man Bad's dozens of felonies”.

ABC News uses the word “pounce” because it is such a derogatory word.

I hope and pray that the Disney Corporation manages to SELL THE ABC NETWORK, since it is the deranged maniacal force that deserves NO Support whatsoever.

Republicans had the house for over eight months, and I have yet to see them pounce even once.

Every time a Democrat says there is no firm evidence, the response should be, in the words of Victor Davis Hanson: “The Family is confronted with damning evidence from the laptop, from the testimonies of Hunter’s business associates Bobulinksi and Archer, from Ukrainian oligarchs and Viktor Shokin, from IRS whistleblowers, from FBI writs, from a likely pseudonymous Biden trove of 4,000 emails to his son and associates . . .”

Republicans “pounce.”

Democrats “are concerned.”

I thought we were “seizing” in September! We only pounce in summer and winter months. Check your calendar folks. This is seizing season!

I think the American public needs to see the Bidenskyyyy’s tax returns. He has to be hiding money somewhere.

You think the foreign bribes would be reported in Biden’s tax returns?

Thirty-five percent of voters...

They found voters. Can they now find the fake ones?
