Just to confirm what the Hunter Biden special investigation team of Comer and Jordan have found:
lots of forms from the IRS.
deposits into some Biden family bank accounts.
depositions that sound specifically like there might be a connection, but not 100% positive- but lets just say it's 100%!
Zero deposits into Joe Biden's accounts.
So to sum it up;
Hunter took money gratuitously, and there is no proof that pop's received it via deposits and no conversations either recorded or by recollection that Joe said he'd do favors/ Quid pro Quo outside of telling the Ukranians to fire the prosecutor to Burisma Oil.
The same prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, who sat on the case / shelved it for years, and was internally being accused of being ineffective on in tackling corruption, and subject to high level of scrutiny in his own administration, WE should now believe the opposite of what all the Ukranian prosecutors and anti- corruption activists with knowledge of the matter, and argue that Shokins stint as chief prosecutor, he was the BIGGEST obstacle in the investigation. We should believe that he was the harbinger of truth and justice, and seeking to right the corruption in a case that he sat on for YEARS! Because that's what good prosecutor's do, they sit on things, because they either don't have a case, or they are themselves shaking down the people involved to make the case "go away".
Joe Biden hears that this guy isn't doing the job he's supposed to do in a company that the US has an interest in propping up due to the nature of producing gas in a new country that is opposing Russian interference and controls. So good ol Joe said you need to fire Shokin, (and he did get fired.)
But not as portrayed in the news.
The meeting where Joe was there happened in December 2015, but Shokin wasn't fired until March of 2016.
Funny how that pressure of Joe's took over 3 months to manifest in corruption. Why doesn't the GOPhers highlight that duration of time- should it have been immediate, then I would say that also might create more concerns, but in the duration of 3 months,
how arm twisting was it really?
It's more likely that Shokin was out shaking the monkey tree to get some money out of that players at the table, and was finally forced out, so that the money from outside sources to provide stability to the region, like the US had provided, were not in question, or subject to further shakedowns. (now here is where the GOP think that Hunter is REALLY involved and collecting money- But there is no direct deposits outside of the allegations that he and dad got 5 mm each. (where is the proof). Shokin said it happened. Lets see the proof, or is the dirty Russian investigator simply covering his ass for his own improprieties. (I'd bet there is a steady stream of deposits into Viktors offshore accounts. LOL)
WHY?
In general- the corruption of the oversight, exceeded the corruption of the players. As a rewind,- Perhaps he was trying to do what Russians do best? Shake down the rest of the players to allow the chips of the investigation to fall where the people who had the deepest pockets lay. Now we hear that he has some phone call recordings that put Hunter in context of being a player in that scheme. I think Hunter personally is too stupid to do be that, but rather just said " give me my money as a bought and paid for board member and lets keep the rest of this status quo".
Fast forward- Joe Biden who hears that there is corruption at the center of both the operation and investigation into Burisma hears that Viktor is slopping around to drive the investigation towards those who are holding their hands out. Says' get rid of that guy, cause he is a corrupt asshat, and by proxy, the GOPhers here say, it's Joe who is corrupt.
Well, that is a "possible" outcome
if proven, and it's equally possible that Hunter was one of the ppl who had his hand out also. (It's been alleged that Shokin has some audio tapes,- If Shokin has tapes, where are they?) So far it's just a boogyman tactic that the GOP investigator boys', Comer and Jordan, are now citing for "here's the real proof" and of course our friends at FOX who did an interview with Shokin. (Cause as anyone who can shed negative desparity onto the Bidens', Fox and the GOP are all about that.)
Present day However; in the digging into the facts so far, we've found that while Hunter is a giant dick, a sex addict, a drug addict, and a one time tax avoider- who did make amends by filing and paying for back taxes, we must also assume that his dad- Joe, is equally guilty of the sins of the son, must be the sins of the father. (GOP mindset)

House Republicans on Wednesday showed their cards on a sprawling investigation into the Biden family — sans a smoking gun that directly links President Joe Biden.
The rollout by Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) and GOP members of his panel marks the biggest public swing that Republicans have taken since November in a probe they’ve put at the center of investigations they hope will help them both keep their majority in 2024 and win the White House.

“After months of political stunts, dozens of hearings, transcribed interviews, and memos, and despite hours on Fox peddling conspiracy theories, Comer and his Maga crew have failed to find a single shred of evidence linking President Biden to any of their lurid accusations,” says the report by the Congressional Integrity Project, which monitors the Republican investigations. “In fact, Republicans have been forced to walk back claim after claim.”
I have to say, the elements are certainly "there", but the There-there, hasn't borne any fruit. Even Comer agrees that they have nothing that connects the son's bad deeds to Joe. While the prior crime family facing 91 felonies, might be a better example of the family sins.
So far, I'm waiting for the "proof" that supposedly is in hand, or "just about to be in hand", where Joe and Hunter are of equal guilt, and questionable character. Hunter has done some stupid shit; and he's going to pay for those either in jail, or in large fines or both. Gun laws and taxes are shit you go to jail for. But So far for Pops' Biden, I see an elderly guy who likes ice cream, vs. being the guy who is shaking down countries for favors and money.
There was another guy who did that....but his initials weren't JB.- and he liked to play golf,----a lot.
