There are questions about Hunter Biden and his prior acts in the public arena. To the extent his actions have a bearing on his dad, they may be worthy of note. Those questions include but are not limited to:
· Did the federal bureaucracy act differently in cases involving Hunter Biden than they otherwise would have?
· Did Hunter Biden receive special treatment in interviewing?
· Was he given preferential treatment in the form of alleged felonies being allowed to expire?
· Did he receive warnings about planned federal raids?
· Did he receive any sweetheart deals?
Something we know is that President Biden enlisted White House staff to push challenged accounts of Hunter’s conduct. Something else we know is the White House staff was used to attack the House Republicans’ investigative process.
It appears now that the White House may have given House Republicans another avenue of investigation. This time, it may bear on the formal impeachment inquiry into the President rather than the criminal charges against Hunter Biden.

Hunter Biden defied a congressional subpoena. That act opens him up to another criminal prosecution. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about the first son’s decision. She told reporters President Biden “was certainly familiar with what his son was going to say.”
The comment suggests Mr. Joseph Biden knew in advance that his son would defy Congress. It seems to imply father and son had discussed it beforehand. Is that true? And if that is true, it is almost certainly a mistake both legally and politically. Doesn’t it imply the President obstructed a Congressional investigation?
If it is true the president was speaking with his son about committing a potentially criminal act, don’t we need to know how the president may have supported his son’s effort to commit a felony?
Jean-Pierre has since declined to clarify her remarks about what may have gone on between the Bidens, father and son. Clearly, multiple sources reported Joe Biden knew about Hunter’s planned speech on Capitol Hill.
Will the Justice Department prosecute Hunter Biden for contempt of Congress? Merrick Garland and his DOJ had no issues prosecuting Steve Bannon when he defied a subpoena for the Jan. 6 committee two years ago.
President Biden has stated any individual who defies Congress should be criminally prosecuted. We shall see if that applies to everyone.
Will House investigators probe Joe Biden’s role in Hunter’s defiance of a congressional investigation? It seems like the White House has admitted to that.
Stay tuned for another episode of “As the Crackhead Turns.” Who will he bring down with him?
