I'm sure the fact that the republicans informant has disappeared will only add to the narrative that something is being hidden as opposed to showing they have no evidence.
Turley: America's Blackout On Biden Corruption Is Truly 'Pulitzer-Level Stuff'

Without James Comer there is no Joe or Hunter.
Even FOX news called out James Comer about his bullshit lies.
The Joe/Hunter grifting was a thing long before Comer took it up. And it's not going anywhere.
Its not going anywhere, I agree.
Its ancient history, it was looked into and there are no charges.
If you want an example of an investigation that's going places, try this one:
Oh, I forgot to add, the whataboutism is not going to make it go away, either.
There is nothing there to go away in the first place.
How many years since Rudy's Russian friends found the 'laptop'?
How long do you think this will take?
Where do you get your information? The shop owner turned over the lap tops to the FBI. Oh, btw. Looks like the Biden grifting narrative is dying, ROTFLMFAO!!
Comer says alleged Biden bribe was $5M, threatens FBI with contempt
Ukrainian officials previously linked Hunter Biden’s former firm Burisma to a different $5 million cash bribe.

Hunter may or may not be a criminal. But he's not been charged/convicted of anything, so in this case your opinion is about as worthwhile as shit flavoured lollipop. I can say Donald Trump is a criminal IMO, but it doesn't make it so in reality.
As for Hunter, we know he is an addict. Did he earn everything he got? Probably not. That's a theme with nepotism. Look at the Trump kids...The point is, and I'm going to say it again and again - We don't know what happened with this incident. Could Hunter be arrested for having crack? Pot? LSD? Did Joe do anything to influence the case? Or did a good attorney take care of things? In many ways, this is more of a thing about privilege than political interference. But, as I've said, there are no details on this 35 year old case. So, in a vacuum you are filling in what you *think* happened (or maybe wish happened to you can slam Joe). Now, again, I'm not denying there is a chance that Joe did something to mitigate the charges, it is entirely possible.
Now, as for Joe enabling him...how? I mean, he tried to get him help. Hunter has issues. But the better question here is what parent wouldn't do anything they could to help their kids? If I had any, you can bet your sweet ass I would do whatever I could to help them out of a jam. And love them even when they fuck up.
Admit what? Your statement is meaningless. I am not afraid to say that Hunter fucked shit up. He is in recovery now, but obviously he was a mess during the period of heavy drug use. But, Joe didn't get him to graduate from Georgetown or Yale (though he might have helped get him in). Did he break various laws or tax rules during his life? Probably.
jcpro, you are so myopic. I'd love to hear what you would say to "There's Donald there's no Don Jr, Eric or Ivanka (and maybe Jared)." The Trump kids have been caught doing wrongdoing to a fucking children's cancer charity...
Exactly my point. @Butler1000 wants to believe with all his heart that Joe is as corrupt (if not more) than Trump. There are many scenarios why things went down the way they did. Now, I am not saying Joe couldn't have done something to protect Hunter using his influence...but there is no proof. No DA, no arresting officer or court clerk has come forward with any details of what or how things went down.
That was 3 years ago.Where do you get your information? The shop owner turned over the lap tops to the FBI. Oh, btw. Looks like the Biden grifting narrative is dying, ROTFLMFAO!!

Where are the charges, Rudy gave them a copy of the hacked iCloud account years ago.
Remember what happened next?
F.B.I. Searches Giuliani’s Home and Office, Seizing Phones and Computers (Published 2021)
Prosecutors obtained the search warrants as part of an investigation into whether Rudy Giuliani broke lobbying laws when he was President Donald J. Trump’s personal lawyer.
Of course he would do everything. As would most fathers. When everything includes board positions with foreign energy companies and Chinese loans and CC companies as a Senator/VP when he is clearly not qualified for them however its influence peddling.
And as pretty much Washington is so rife with it they have legalized most of it that's why Trump's kids got away with it too. Only they are stupidly blunt about it. But no charges just mean he did corrupt things the "right" way.
But his logic is impeccable. He knows any mainstream democrat must be corrupt agents of evil so the lack of evidence is only proof that mainstream democrats are corrupt agents of evil.
Separate what? Fact from fiction? Because you're peddling a lot of fiction here, since we don't know what happened. You want to fill in the blanks because there isn't a complete story. And to be honest, it feels very partisan. Now, as I've said, can I rule out the possibility that Joe did intervene? Or that even if he didn't, the DA reduced the charges because of the Biden name? Of course not. That is all very possible. Can I say that Hunter didn't fuck things up throughout his life? No, he's an addict...but he did attend some prestigious schools and graduate.
The point here is that you're jumping to a conclusion. You have no evidence, but you want to believe the right-wing narrative to say Joe plays fast and loose with the rules, or is a hypocrite.
I hate to be the one to break this to you, but it's called nepotism, and Hunter is definitely not the worst example of it. But again, you want to make everything about influence peddling. Here's the thing: Hunter had other connections besides his father. There is no proof Joe did anything to help Hunter's businesses (well, nothing with the inconvenient necessity of evidence, at least for the right-wing media). And you're right, Washington (and Ottawa, London, Paris etc) are rife with the children of powerful people getting plumb jobs they probably shouldn't. At least Hunter hasn't shown up and acted like a "special advisor" to the President. Biden hasn't overruled the security services to give Hunter clearance. Biden hasn't pushed any government entity to use any of Hunter's businesses....
And no charges could also mean that everything done was legit and legal. You might not like that, or that sort of thing happens, but it does. And if it is legal...then is it corruption?
Have you looked at the laws? The ones that protected Trump's kids? Who are accused just now by you of corruption, let alone the media?
The USA lobbyist laws are a joke. You know that. But that you for admitting he is a Nepo Baby. Now you just need to see that a man repeating in and out of rehab for crack use, who fucked his dead brother's wife, who had a kid with a stripper in the champagne room while on crack, and while staying in a 10,000 buck a month rental fought over child support, who had a million dollar board position on a Ukrainian energy board with no energy experience or even capable of speaking the language, just might be a fuck up.
Oh and somehow now sells art for hundreds of thousands of dollars to anonymous bidders......
That would be many "mainstream" as in leaders of both parties. Just as many GOP types lining their pockets. With foreign connections(cough Bush/Saudis). And many party members( both) recieving cash from defense contractors.
When have I ever denied Hunter was a Nepo case? But at the same time, you do realize his addictions didn't dominate his life like that period where he did a lot of fucked up shit. As for Burmisa, he did bring some stuff to the table.
And, if you know anything about corporate governance, you don't need to have any direct experience in the company's industry. Boards are there to provide oversight, and they tend to have several types of experts from other sectors. Like HR professionals, or lawyers familiar with government regulations. Hunter apparently provided advice on legal issues, corporate finance and strategy. Those are three things he could comment on. Just for proof, check out GM's board of directors:
You can see there are some heavy hitters here, but a number of them are from industries that are not even closely related to the automobile sector. You have a former pharma CEO, software experts, retailers...They might not know anything about designing or marketing cars for the most part, but they have a wealth of useful knowledge...
