If he had done all the things the Republicans accuse him of, they would have run him as a Senator in Georgia

Whether Hunter benefitted financially and illegally from his famous name is something for the DOJ to decide, not the Republican Party.

(15,526 posts)I'd be the same way if Joe Biden did something horrible, and there was strong EVIDENCE that it happened.
Truth is more important than alliances for me, which is the opposite of how most Republicans have behaved for several decades now.
My own mother immediately shouted "Send him to jail!" after I got in trouble with some friends in high school for throwing eggs at cars. Then a cop at the station raised his eyebrows and told her it wasn't THAT serious! And I was an honors-student in high school too, who had mostly behaved well except for that particular night of "excitement" for me. So it's no wonder that I'm that way, because my parents were the same.

(34,914 posts)They had plenty of time to arrest, try, and convict him. The problem for them was that the one thing they lacked was that pesky evidence of wrongdoing. Not that it matters, because Hunter Biden is not, nor has ever been a government employee, so who gives a rat's ass either way?

(72,187 posts)All the Republicans have to do is hold televised hearings and say his name over and over as many times as they can.
They know no one is going to jail. They just want to derail the Biden Presidency.

NEW LOW: Ted Cruz stoops to posting nude photo of Hunter Biden
Senator Ted Cruz, on the day after Elon Musk giddily released information about Twitters content moderation processes, took it upon himself to publicly post nude photos of the current presidents son.
snip
Republicans, however, prefer to go for the salacious and have produced a photo that was allegedly found on the laptop that they say is Hunters, although their atrociously lax chain of custody makes it unlikely the public will ever know the truth of the real contents.
In this photo, the subject reportedly Hunter is lighting a pipe, lying nude on a couch, with genitals visible in the shot.
Its hardly a surprise that a tabloid or the lowest of political operatives would be happy to publish this as an attack on the president (although the tabloid, at least, would probably censor it), but in this case, a sitting U.S. Senator seems to have decided it would be an appropriate thing to share on his Twitter timeline.

Cruz is one sick man.

Much of the sale of apartments in this building was Russian and other dirty money, and came up in the "Panama Papers Scandal" in 2016. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_Papers
So if they are going to investigate President's family members, let's make sure we get the ones who actually worked IN the government. Not just private members who's data was leaked/hacked/stolen.

If the FBI has had the laptop all these yesrs and there was anything criminal on it, Hunter would be referred for prosecution.
