Republicans in Congress have begun their expected yammering over the plea deal struck by Hunter Biden with the Department of Justice.
Biden, the son of the president, pleaded guilty to tax charges and to illegally purchasing a firearm. He won’t go to jail, assuming that a federal judge approves the agreement.
The GOP caucus in Congress is now alleging that Biden got away with something. I am forced to ask: What precisely did he escape?
Republicans vow to continue their witch hunt against Biden until they find something they can hang around his neck.
Let’s understand something about this whole matter. Republicans have been “investigating” Biden for many years, dating back to before his dad became vice president. Have they found anything on which to file charges? Any criminality discovered?
The answer: No! Nothin’, man.
They will come up with actionable accusations the same way they promised to do so with Hillary Clinton and the alleged crimes she committed while serving as secretary of state.
As Gertrude Stein once said of Oakland, Calif.: There is no “there” there.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe the focus of the Congressional Oversight Committee’s investigation is on Joseph R. Biden when he was the VPOTUS.
Yes. It will circle back, though, to his current job.
