12. I Suspect

I have half a suspicion that this will lead to nothing new about Hunter…. But it opens up the ability to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate Jared & Ivanka. It’s kind of a counterpoint to show they not targeting. Imagine if they opened an investigation into “Jarvanka” without having done the same to Hunter. The House sure as heck wasn’t going to investigate them. This opens the door.

They’ve investigated Hunter for five years. What’s there is it. They’re not going to find anything else. There was no $5m payoff to Joe. If they want to “investigate” go for it. Hunter is a private citizen who made some mistakes. President Biden is a loyal public servant. RepubQcans will claim all kinds of cxxp anyway. But now the door is opened. I’m hoping I’m right because $2b from the Saudis plus boxes of classified information sure look like something was going on.

It was not settled, as the defence believed that all other investigations would be dropped in Celerity Aug 2023 #24

Well it certainly gives them an investigation and a trial to follow that doesn't include a Trump. Autumn Aug 2023 #25

The next 15 (& quite possibly 17 if Trump loses a very close election) months are going to be wild. Celerity Aug 2023 #29
