Tucker Carlson Claims He's Going To Leave 'Fallen Man' Hunter Biden Alone Now

Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who has speculated for the last month about alleged corruption surrounding the overseas business dealings of Hunter Biden, insisted on Thursday evening that he didn’t want to be involved in “pounding on a man, jumping on and piling on when he’s already down.”

This change in Carlson’s rhetoric comes after the conservative pundit claimed on Wednesday that Fox News had acquired a number of “damning” documents about Joe Biden’s son from a source, only to have the material allegedly disappear when it was shipped cross-country.

UPS announced one day later that the flash drive containing the documents had come out of its packaging, was located by a staffer and eventually turned over to a superior, who arranged for it to be sent to Fox. Carlson was full of questions regarding this explanation and continued to hint at a conspiracy.

He contended that “someone, for some reason, opened our package and removed a flash drive containing documents that were damaging to the Biden family.”

“We’d love to know who would do that and why,” said Carlson. “It would be helpful to see the envelope itself. But UPS says we can’t see it because they threw it away. So here we are. We got our flash drive back, and that’s great. What we’d really like are some answers.”

2. Tucker saw the man piled upon when he was down, and that man was him.

Welcome to Fitzmas Tucker. Now leave.

It's ok if the door hits you on the way out. Repeatedly.

Anyone who has ever gotten their mail in a body bag knows this is a lie. The USPS does not throw damaged envelopes away. They seal them in a body bag and send them to you with an apology.

6. I sure wish Tucker hadn't escaped from under that bus. I'd love to have heard the Murdochs ...

explain that multi-tens of million dollar settlement to the general stockholders meeting.

"Well the damnedest thing, see ... some guy brought a water soaked computer to a service guy, see? and he forgets about it and the guy forgets about it and never returns and the guys going to toss it and damned if it doesn't seem to be Hunter Biden's, right? Sooo ....."

7. Sounds as if Carlson's lackey did not properly package the flash drive.

Maybe he should fire his lackey instead of blathering on about a conspiracy.

8. Tucker found out about the fake person behind all this and said, "oh shit, I need to clean this up."

He doesn't give a rat's ass about Hunter Biden and would cheerfully stomp on him if he could. But he knows he is very close to a defamation suit so he is backing off.

"There was other stuff on that flash drive that's really embarassing and/or illegal and could get us in deep shit, so now we're afraid that somebody else has seen it, and so we're now going to shut up and hope this all goes away".
