There’s a strong case that Hunter Biden’s position with the company had nothing to do with Biden’s position on Shokin’s ouster. That’s because Western leaders and institutions were largely united in seeking Shokin’s removal, arguing that he was not pursuing corruption cases aggressively.

The story was a hit job, and the editors/managers who ordered or allowed it are still with the NYT.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
