So, they started to investigate Hunter Biden's taxes in 2018?

And they just announced this just now? Also they have yet to find anything wrong, but continued to investigate him? All the while Trump won’t release his taxes and continues to lie about the audit that is happening!

So anything legit against Trump spawn will spun as retribution. Their REAL crimes will be equated to Biden’s MANUFACTURED ones.

Wasn’t that about the time they found the video of him talking about Ukrainian prosecutor? They beat on that so hard I’m sure they thought that would get all of the media interested just like Hillary’s emails.

So they waited almost 2 years to ask for records. Looks as if investigators since 2018 have had nothing but politically motivated allegations and nothing concrete, but on the way out Barr wants to lock down the investigation to keep it active so that it would not be just quietly closed when new AG takes over. Not unlike him invoking Special Council status for Durham to keep that unproductive investigation alive.

he wanted in charge-fuck Republicans...no saboteurs...time to play hardball than the new AG should investigate the Senate...they are dirty...let them know like Johnson did...maybe they will cooperate a bit. I was all for letting the AG handle everything but the GOP is continuing their assault on justice and it must end.
