Hunter delivered his statement at a D.C. press conference that no one asked for, making for a content bonanza for his defenders and skeptics alike. The optics were entertainingly discordant with Hunter’s reputation. He wore a drab suit; the news-reading public has become accustomed to seeing him in various stages of undress. He acted as though he has nothing to hide even though the whole point of the speech was to, for all intents and purposes, inform congressional investigators that they should **** off. He acted as though he’s victim of a political witch hunt – even though he’s already facing several other federal charges and criminal indictments.
The most absurd moment of the presser (there was stiff competition for this title), was when the first son moaned about how “MAGA Republicans” impugned his character. We all must have hallucinated the story from just last week where we learned that Hunter spent $872,000 on hookers, porn, and sex clubs in a four-year period instead of paying his taxes or child support.
“Let me state as clearly as I can: My father was not financially involved in my business,” Hunter said, slyly.
“My father was not
financially involved in my business.”
He is speaking in code. If you read between the lines, those words suggest that Joe Biden was involved in Hunter’s business but maybe wasn’t paid directly. Through some crafty wordsmithing, Hunter is trying to skate by on a technicality. In reality, that statement is devoid of meaning. After all, Devon Archer’s testimony and WhatsApp messages from an IRS whistleblower substantiate what we all can see with our own two eyes: Joe Biden was an integral part of Hunter Biden’s business model.
While Hunter was making $1 million a year from Burisma, Joe got the prosecutor investigating the Ukrainian energy company fired. Joe refused to put Hunter’s Russian oligarch business associates on his expanding sanctions list. At the exact moment Hunter was acquiring an equity stake in a company controlled by the Bank of China, Joe negotiated a deal to benefit the Bank of China.
So, who is Hunter the Innocent kidding?
No one, actually. He’s not even kidding himself or the pro-Biden establishment media.
He’s trolling.

So, legally speaking, Hunter calling a press conference, demanding a public hearing where Democrats can grandstand, and then skipping out on his subpoena seems like a fairly sound strategy. So long as he’s not testifying or cooperating, he can’t incriminate Joe, and that’s a win for them.
Yet…
Yet, his
in-your-face defiance strategy could prove to be a major political blunder for Team Biden. It was a double-dog-dare to Republicans who have been lukewarm to an impeachment inquiry to get on board.
I believe it will finally bring many of the remaining holdouts around to a more robust investigation into the president.
An impeachment inquiry is no pro-forma thing. It will lead to Congress getting access to telephone logs, minutes of meetings, and other documentation that the White House will not be able to hide.
Ultimately, impeachment is a political act. The more people know the truth about the Biden crime family, the less likely they are to vote for Joe’s reelection. A post-2020 election survey
conducted by the Media Research Center revealed as much, and recent data supports that conclusion as well. A recent Harvard Harris poll
showed that most voters support an impeachment inquiry, and a Yahoo/YouGov survey
showed a majority believe President Joe committed a crime with Hunter.
This points to a clear political strategy for the conservative movement: show the world how corrupt the Bidens truly are, and you’ll be rewarded at the ballot box.
Hunter’s choice to not cooperate and instead stage a public airing of grievances against his father’s political opponents only made him seem shadier.
The same goes for the loving father who has always protected Hunter – and will eventually set him free.
