It's commendable because he did it and many would not have been able to.
He did it with a minority in the House after 2022 and a slim majority in the Senate.
Tell me what Trump did?
Hunter Biden heading for a trial

Tell me what Trump did?
"Equal treatment under the law" of a private citizen who has been charged with pretty run-of-the-mill crimes? And he gets an entire House Committee to rant and finger-wag?! For several years of ranting, finger-wagging and doing fuck-all else?!
C'mon, Earp. This is performative crap. Hunter gets charged with a couple of tax evasions and avoids jail by paying back the $$$. That's pretty fucking standard. And there's a misleading statement about drug use on a firearm application. What next, Earp?.... Gym Jordan going to follow Biden around his summer place in Delaware to see if Biden bicycles through a fucking stop sign?!
Now you may style yourself "TERB's intellectual presence". But Frankie and I have a different name for you. We call you "Mister Deflecty". Because not only do you rant on with nonsense about "equal treatment under the law", but you bring up something totally unconnected about Adam Shiff 5 years ago. Now the Shiff anecdote has nothing to do with the Bidens, does it?
In fact, it has nothing to do with anything in this thread. But nothing is nicer than a good "The Dems did this-and-that 27 years ago" story. Especially when you then suggest that the person you're arguing with knows nothing about history - and make that your little "icing on the cake moment".
The Hunter saga is shit the GOP rides because they know Trump will lose the 2024 GE unless they besmirch Biden and this is the best they can do. Hunter is a drug-addicted, nepo kid who rode his family name into a couple of decades of coke snorting and hooker banging as few have ever been able to accomplish. But doesn't it all really being and end with the "He was a spoiled fuck up who spend his entire spoiled life fucking up"???....
The only thing that I can think of pettier and less relevant that Hunter Biden is a vilification campaign against one of Biden's pets - say Major the dog. But the GOP would - I hope - never sink that low.... Oh wait a minute, they already have!!
Your buddy Butler has already started to cut and paste GOP attacks on the canine.
5 years? 5 years.
And this is all they got. Remember first 2 years of this investigationTrump was president. He appointed the prosecutor.
Nixons brother was wire tapped by Nixon cause he was leveraging his fame. Billy Carter. Neil Bush. Roger Clinton. ivanka and Jared whilst working for the government!!
Haven't they already been investigating Hunter for a couple of years now and found dick-all?
If you were the police, Mitchy, wouldn't you stop investigating someone you wanted to put in jail after a few weeks because nothing solid turned up. It's a waste of time, right?
But the cops actually work for a fucking living, unlike spoiled cunts like Gym Jordan who is too dumb and too lazy to hold a useful actual job and simply capers and hoots at photo ops to earn money.
No, he wouldn't. They haven't actually proved that he's done anything wrong - aside from the plea deal where he admitted wrongdoing.
Didn't Hunter get the drug diversion in the 1990's when he was 20 years old?
Yeah that sounds like the sort of favour a well connected, powerful guy gets his kid. But it falls well fucking short of being outrageous.
Weiss has had 5 years, 2 with rump giving him total free reign.
How much longer will it take to figure out if Hunter had tax issues and didn't register a gun?
He had free rein the way Durham had free rein.
The problem is there wasn't anything to discover.
Nice try. The committee is in search of issues to soften up Joe for the benefit of the stable genius or whoever might be the nominee. Can you say Bengazi?
It seems to me the only fraud resulting in arrest was committed by Republicans.
Thus what if the fraud was actually making the vote even closer? After all, Biden was leading by 7 points in the polls, and won by 4 points.
Hmm. Well, our fraud didn't work, but we tried, so therefore just give us the election. That seems to be the philosophy.

You think Fox paid out 3/4 billion for telling the truth, that the election was stolen?
toguy, the House Republicans didn't really have anything directly to do with the plea deal mess. That's your problem in this quagmire. I seem to recall that you were one of the prog posse who thought the plea deal was merely a matter of crossing the T's and dotting the I's.
If you want to scream Benghazi, do you really want to have a discussion about every event in the last twenty years in defense of Hunter Biden?

Biden isn't allowing anything. That's the point of Frank's ridiculous language.
The plea deal was the easy out for Hunter, but the Judge picked apart the lack of logic in the deal. I don't know how anyone would call that a minor issue for Hunter. I would think those less partisan would say the Special Counsel is not a good thing for Hunter. Having said that, to date it all seems like a clumsy effort to dust this Hunter thing under the rug.
You have to realize your fellow conservative TERB members aren't writing this crazy script that we are all reading/hearing in the media. It seems like your trying to shoot the messengers here, but the message is being broadcast to the entire world.
The key difference is Weiss has been involved in this mess for a few years and couldn't even get a fairly sweetheart plea deal across the finish line with the presiding judge. Durham came into his Special Counsel role with relatively fresh eyes.
We have had this discussion before Frank. Stop following tertiary Twitterazzi. You can always find partisans echoing your same thoughts. That's an extreme form of vanity.
It's much harder to prosecute than you realize. We have the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act that prevents American corporation and individuals from giving money to foreign dignitaries and their families essentially for nothing but perceived favors. The U.S. Govt. does not have to prove favors were granted in return for the money to make their case. It's simply illegal.
In a strange turnabout, it's entirely legal for foreign corporations and individuals to curry favor with American politicians and their families unless some type of quid pro quo can be proven.
Are 55% of Americans partisan? I don't know.........I call that a solid majority of Americans. Perhaps we are all partisans so you could be correct, but there is still the matter of 55%.

By the way, what is this weak comment about guilt by association? Is his association with his son what you are referencing?
I think you are kind of lost on this topic. Trump won because Hillary was a poor candidate. Generally, the pollsters later admitted their methods overestimated Hillary's popularity or put another way they underestimated the electorate's disapproval of her. Not to pile on, but I think it's also generally accepted that her 2016 campaign and execution was poorly-conceived.
