Investigations Into Hunter Biden: A Republican Strategy or Persecution?

The recent plea deal by Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, related to two misdemeanor tax charges, has sparked renewed interest in ongoing Republican investigations into him and his family. While the plea deal was struck, Hunter has pleaded not guilty to a gun charge, a move that some interpret as an indication that the American justice system is functioning as intended. However, the likelihood of these investigations ending anytime soon appears slim, given the persistent nature of Republican scrutiny.

A Plea Deal That May Not End the Stench

The plea deal for Hunter Biden was indeed removed from the table, and he now maintains his not guilty plea to a gun charge. As the American justice system aims to uphold the law, it is hoped that if such a system functions correctly, Hunter will face the consequences he deserves. However, the conviction of Hunter Biden on two misdemeanor tax charges might be just a drop in the ocean of Republican investigations into his family.

A Long-Term Strategy of Scrutiny

It is no secret that Republicans have maintained a strategy of investigating crimes that never materialized against their adversaries. This approach has been a consistent tactic since the time of President Obama. While the investigations into Hunter Biden are based on allegations of tax and gun charges, it is clear that the Republicans are not concerned about the actual charges. Instead, the focus remains on persistently digging and seeking to find something that may not exist.

Slandering the Democrats: A Never-Ending Cycle

The GOP's approach to perpetually investigating the Bidens is puzzling, especially when one considers their own actions. For instance, they investigated President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for years, without uncovering any significant evidence of wrongdoing. Regardless of the lack of substantial evidence, the Republicans view these investigations as a response to perceived persecution of their former leader, Donald Trump. This pattern of behavior has led to accusations of political persecution.

The Irony of Republican Investigations

The irony in all of this is that Republicans continue to accuse Democrats of getting away with everything while they are the ones conducting these investigations. The GOP subtly highlights the Democrats' supposed successes in order to justify their own actions. For example, the ongoing probe into Hillary Clinton's emails has been a significant part of the Republican narrative, even though such probes are justified by perceived wrongdoing.

The Best the Loony Far Right Can Come Up With

The Republican focus on these investigations seems to be more about a symbolic effort to find dirt and weaken the Democrats rather than about genuine concerns. The recent indulgence in speculations about indicted individuals such as Hunter Biden is a clear indication of this. Republicans are holding onto the idea that Biden must be less clean than their current advocate, despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. This strategy is not only futile but also undermines their credibility in the eyes of many voters.

While the investigations into Hunter Biden and the Bidens continue, it is crucial to approach these claims with a critical eye. The justice system must remain impartial and the public should demand a fair and transparent process. Regardless of political affiliations, the integrity of the legal system is paramount.
