All this stinks, but it doesn’t prove Joe Biden was criminally involved in Hunter’s businesses. It does prove the Department of Justice is neck-deep in a systematic cover up, designed to insulate the president from any serious investigation. It also suggests the Biden grift was an organized family enterprise — one that started when Joe became vice president, revolved around his official position, monetized it, focused solely on countries where Joe was in charge of US policy, and hid the sources and distribution of income. It shows Joe was more than willing to signal Hunter’s partners that he was helping his son, even if his defenders say the signal was misleading. Now, we also learn Joe was using a pseudonym to copy Hunter on official government correspondence, undermining Joe’s claim that he knew nothing about Hunter working with Burisma in Ukraine.

There are scandals aplenty here. The Department of Justice has abdicated its fundamental responsibility to conduct an honest, thorough investigation and to prosecute all provable charges. The legacy media long ago abdicated its responsibility to investigate these scandals or even to report them. The American people aren’t so easily fooled by these cover ups and corruption. They smell a rat.
