Thank the House GOP for Hunter's Indictment

Were it not for the current (and evanescing) House Republican majority, whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler are highly unlikely to have stepped forward. Most of all, we owe a debt of gratitude to brave Messrs. Shapley and Ziegler. They rightly commented that the indictment represents “a complete vindication of our thorough investigation.” Indeed it does.

We also owe a debt of gratitude to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, who has led the committee’s investigation into the Biden family business. …

Abbe Lowell to the contrary notwithstanding, Hunter Biden would have been charged with numerous tax offenses that Merrick Garland, David Weiss, and the rest of the Biden Department of Justice suppressed or slept on and that are now barred by the applicable statutes of limitations. If Hunter’s last name were anything other than Biden, those charges would have been brought long ago.

[True, but there are consequences to justice (and Justice) delaying this until the end of 2023. As I remarked earlier, it makes a presidential pardon for Hunter much more likely before a trial even takes place, as it seems unlikely that Lowell will rush to show this case to a jury. A few delays, and suddenly a trial could get pushed into 2025, and Joe Biden will have no reason to refrain from a pardon after the second week in November 2024 — even if he wins a second term. — Ed]
