this whole investigation was a textbook definition of a witch hunt. and now it’s come to light that the entire basis of investigating hunter was from an fbi informant with close ties to russian counterintel. the same people who talked with rudy and the laptop.
hunter has a real good shot at winning a defamation suit against smirnov and rudy imo but I’m not a law talkin guy.
In this case, I think focusing on how the republicans absolutely fucked the chicken in trying to fabricate a case against him helps show just how little that the republicans actually have against the Biden family. It also helps to keep reminding people about the connections this case shares with Ghouliani and trump, and makes it harder for them to discredit the stupidly obvious connections that the right has to Russia.
Honestly it’s kind of impressive that, as invested as they are in dragging his name through the mud, and with the aid of Russia, they still have nothing of any substance. They’ve convinced me Joe Biden is a more honest man than I used to believe.
