The Republican chairmen of three key House committees are joining forces to probe the Justice Department’s handling of charges against Hunter Biden after making sweeping claims about misconduct at the agency.

    The Republicans will bellow from the rooftops about starting the investigation, then they’ll go quiet when they realize their “whistleblowers” aren’t credible. Eventually, they’ll release a report very, very quietly which calls out some inconsequential flaws in the investigation but no significant wrongdoing. Their base of ignorant rubes will only ever hear that the investigations were started. Hunter was already guilty in their eyes, not for the specific crimes of which he’s accused, but for having the last name “Biden.”

      It’s this. Republicans do investigations, but never really find anything of consequence. But the witch hunts into their crimes yields people going to jail because they did crimes.

      I don’t care about Hunter Biden. He is not in our government. (Trump put his family on the payroll when he was in power) He a drug addict, hope he is recovering.

      It’s going to be the same discredited whistleblower again. They just wanted AP to publish this title, and it worked.
