In reply to the discussion: Federal investigation of Hunter Biden heats up [View all]Jarqui
(10,123 posts)30. Why is this in the news?
Obviously, because he's the President's son and the six companies controlling about 95% of US media favors Republican taxation policies.
He's innocent until proven guilty.
He's not a public figure by personal choice.
There shouldn't be much more news than they're investigating something because he is an innocent man until proven otherwise.
Instead, we have national headlines.
I would distinguish with Trump's children because they were very much involved in the White House, etc - making themselves public figures.

So, you are suggesting we return to Bill Barr tactics at DoJ and have politics rule the roost?

Thank God for Garland, I was worried he might actually do something about Trump.
