Uh, maybe this is why Paul, you naive individual. Dirty tricks impeding the investigation by politicized agency hacks.
I guess Whistleblowers are good in your world…..until they’re not.

“These alleged tactics included recurring unjustified delays, such as hindrances in authenticating a message between Hunter Biden and Chinese officials. In a shocking claim, it was revealed that Hunter Biden’s attorneys were tipped off about actions relating to the investigation in advance. This occurred even as investigators had probable cause to search a Northern Virginia storage unit where Hunter Biden had stored files. Moreover, requests to bring charges against Hunter Biden were repeatedly denied, further impeding the investigation.”

The first bolded sentence in your link says that they shielded him, allowing the statute of limitations to expire on his tax crimes.

How do you square that with him just recently pleading guilty to his tax crimes? And how do you explain the Trump appointed attorney saying he had full authority with no involvement from DOJ? (Unlike Durham talking all the time with Barr, making a mockery out of the "special counsel" idea.)

Me? I just posted a credible story. And Hunter is a criminal- glad you admit it- plus it was stated when the announcement came out that the “Investigation is still ongoing” so potentially there are more crimes to come. He obviously pled to some kind of charges. Why would he do that if the Statute had expired? You should probably ask Hunter’s corrupt attorneys that question, but he sure pled down the gun charge to which most would be thrown in the slammer.
And which “Trump appointed attorney”? I assume you refer to Weiss. It is documented that he tried to bring charges numerous times in multiple jurisdictions but he was denied the opportunity. Why was he denied? And why did the DOJ deny him the right to be a Special Counsel if they were serious about getting to the truth? Finally, Weiss isn’t exactly a rampant Republican. Weiss, whose office led the case, is a Trump administration holdover but was recommended to his post by Delaware’s two Democratic senators, who are both close Biden allies. Hmmm. There’s some collusion for ya!

You know who will get to the truth? The House of Representatives.

I don’t have to “square” anything. Maybe you should ask Merrick Garland.
Again, Paul attacks journalists when they don’t agree with his point of view, something that he couldn’t stop blasting Trump about. Can’t have it both ways Bub.

This Biden case just frosts me to the limit.

Imagine being Joe Biden. Your son makes millions of dollars from foreign entities but does not pay taxes because that would mean disclosing that he is engaged in foreign lobbying. With the millions of dollars and no serious job, he becomes a drug addict and illegally obtains a gun. All he tells them is that he is the son of the US Vice President, and he claims that part of the money will go to the "Big Guy." He promises them access to his dad and top US officials. They hire him without any qualifications and pay him millions of dollars.

Eventually, the information comes out, and the Justice Department has to investigate. The investigation drags on for five years, and eventually, they strike a deal with him to plead guilty to two misdemeanors of tax evasion so that the government would not prosecute him for illegally possessing a gun as a drug addict, a serious crime that has sent tens of thousands of Americans to prison for years.

Imagine being the same father who, as a senator, drafted a draconian anti-drug law that sent tens of thousands of black people and others to prison, confiscated all their belongings, and gave a big speech boasting that the drug addicts should all be taken off the streets. Now that your son is one of them, when you're asked about his case, you say you're proud of him and he has done nothing wrong.

Imagine journalists and commentators justifying it on television, singing your praises when their own child would have been in prison long ago for the same crimes. Imagine the people who believed in the rule of law watching the two-tiered justice system so brazenly displayed.

This country is an absolute mess rn.

A lot of families have to deal with addiction issues in their midst. They are not easy.
If Hunter is guilty, he should be held accountable for all his crimes, despite the addiction issues that make the decisions in those cases difficult.

I can't imagine a country where one of our two political parties has a twice impeached, convicted, and now indicted again person as their leading contender for the presidency. That is an absolute mess.

Stop hiding behind “addiction issues”. Hunter wasn’t so addicted that it kept him from dealing with foreign enemies for enrichment and using the Big Guys name for influence and cash.
We all know that the “impeachments” were bullshit and based on nothing other that Dem spite. But the one sure covered up Biden’s Ukraine dealing.
Try again.

So that makes it ok to break gun laws? You sir are a hypocrite

[paulxu]

When I say he should be held accountable “despite addiction issues”, what is it about that sentence you fail to understand?
Is it too complex?
Try worrying about the larger problem of the presumed nominee being convicted already, and facing espionage charges.

This would include the Biden crime family..and Joe himself, soon.

With the Court's ruling today in US v. Texas and the ruling last week Haaland v. Brackeen, concerning standing, it is starting to look more likely that the student loan forgiveness may succeed on the question of standing.

I’m really starting to like Chris Christie, which is a shocking sentence to write. I don’t know if I like him, or if it’s that I simply do not dislike him as much as I do Biden, Harris, Trump, and DeSantis.

But…yeah! If the election was today, think I’d vote for this guy!
