Joe's undoing in this is that his son is a deadbeat crackhead who abandoned a laptop filled with incriminating information at a random laptop repair shop.
At this point we know that Joe met repeatedly with Hunter's business partners, and Devon Archer will testify that Hunter routinely called Joe on speakerphone in front of clients to demonstrate that his father was both available and involved. And we millions of dollars flowing into various Biden accounts completely unaccounted for as well as texts / emails from Hunter complaining that he was supporting the family single-handed my and that dad was taking too much. All of this corroborates what Bobulinski told us years ago with respect to the Chinese deals, that H(unter) was holding 10% for Joe.
We also know that Joe lied explicitly to the American people when he claimed the laptop was Russian disinformation, and that his campaign orchestrated the "50+ intelligence officials" letter which he used to hide behind. And we know from the IRS whistleblowers that Biden allies in the DOJ slow-walked the investigation, ran out the clock on felony charges, and hid incriminating information from the IRS to make this all go away.
All of this is turning out to be far worse than I would've thought.
No doubt in my mind there's meat on the bone to this story, but the devil's in the details. to separate the two we have 1.) Joe's personal involvement in Hunter's dealings and how those may be reflected in actual executive branch action while Joe was VP & 2.) Joe's alleged coverup of Hunter misdeeds
it's convenient to say #2 was a direct result of #1 so Joe could cover himself, possible but not yet clear. Politicians across the nation abuse the justice system with their power to cover up misdeeds of their family, we're just watching it on the grandest of scales. If a mayor greases the palm of the DA to enter a lesser charge for their kid who got caught with a trunk full of weed it goes unnoticed, this is that but with the FBI and a speech to the american public abroad, OR it's an actual large scale cover up to protect Joe personally. i'm not opposed to that, just not entirely convinced. motive, sure. ability, sure. proof? circumstantial.
as to #1 i keep coming back to a basic inconsistency. Hunter is simultaneously a deranged crackhead who leaves his international crime laptop at a random repair shop AND a reliable source for how involved Joe is personally. these don't logically line up. now is it possible Joe/Hunter acted illogically? sure. but does Occam's razor suggest that Hunter likes to wave around his dad's name and that explains why Joe's name is so common in these stories? logically, yes. The chinese deal specifically rings to me of Hunter digging up cash because he blows through it at alarming rates. Hunter makes phony deal "on behalf of joe", that's his ace up his sleeve. so of course anyone involved thinks a % is going to Joe, they're buying access to Joe, whether or not Hunter can actually provide that.
and there's still the issue of plausible deniability AND afaik lack of Joe/Hunter correspondence on the laptop itself. logically Hunter would do all the talking here, Joe can not in any way be seen or heard as involved. maybe some name waving, but not physically there. BUT joe and hunter still need to arrange things, presumably there'd be proof of that on the laptop itself. but maybe it was all 100% in person, that's the smarter way afterall, in which case Joe has even more plausible deniability.
