It promises limited political return. It would serve Republicans, and the country, far better if the House focused on a hyper-politicized Justice Department that targets the political opposition, labels concerned parents \u201cdomestic terrorists,\u201d and ignores violence aimed at pregnancy centers, for starters.<\/p>\n<p>None of that, however, means there isn\u2019t sufficient circumstantial evidence suggesting Joe Biden not only lied about knowing his son was favor-trading on the family name with corrupt autocracies, but that he was a beneficiary of those business dealings. Indeed, precedent says we Republicans have a duty to \u201cdemocracy\u201d to investigate.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, Greg Sargent at The Washington Post <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/theplumlinegs\/status\/1593683392813563905\">warns<\/a>: \u201cIf Republicans can obliterate the distinction between congressional investigations done in good faith and ones that weaponize the process in bad faith they win.\u201d You see, only Democrats can launch investigations in \u201cgood faith.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pathological partisanship can lead to cosmic shamelessness. And you almost have to admire the chutzpah. But these are the same people who spent years championing one of the most unethical investigations in American history. We now know that Russia \u201ccollusion\u201d hysteria was predicated on partisan oppo research and disinformation meant to delegitimize the 2016 election. A grand total of zero indictments were related to 2016 election \u201ccollusion.\u201d So rickety was the evidence, that self-proclaimed guardians of our sacred norms never even tried to impeach Donald Trump over this alleged sedition. I\u2019ll spare you the slew of blown one-source anonymous \u201cscoops\u201d spread by major media organizations in concert with the FBI and Democratic Party. Sargent highlighted them all.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s also remember, when the story of Hunter Biden\u2019s laptop broke, virtually the entire left-wing media complex <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tomselliott\/status\/1594734782768123908?s=46&#038;t=BBwcRogtmgwyJbfzoB1_Ug\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">regurgitated<\/a> the risible <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2020\/10\/19\/hunter-biden-story-russian-disinfo-430276\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">claims<\/a> of former intelligence officials \u2014 including known liars James Clapper and John Brennan \u2014 that the entire kerfuffle was just Russian \u201cdisinformation.\u201d Sargent dismissed the news as a \u201cfake scandal\u201d and worked to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/theplumlinegs\/status\/1317948063848271879\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">discredit<\/a> the story.<\/p>\n<p>The New York Post\u2019s Hunter Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/10\/12\/one-year-later-the-posts-hunter-biden-reporting-is-vindicated-but-still-buried\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">story<\/a> always had far more journalistic substantiation than any of the histrionic and fallacious Russia-collusion \u201cscoops\u201d that Sargent and his paper peddled for five years. Reporters had interviewed the owner of the Delaware computer shop where Hunter had abandoned his computer. They had Biden\u2019s signature on a receipt. They had on-the-record sources with intimate knowledge of his interactions. Tony Bobulinski, one of two former business partners of Hunter Biden who contend that \u201cthe big guy\u201d was Joe, also authenticated the emails.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it\u2019s certainly possible that Bobulinski, a Navy veteran and former chief technology officer at the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command who made campaign <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensecrets.org\/search?q=Tony+Bobulinski&#038;type=donors\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contributions<\/a> to progressives like Ro Khanna, is also part of an elaborate fascistic cabal spreading \u201cdisinformation,\u201d but now Congress can put him under oath.<\/p>\n<p>Later, emails implicating the president as a participant in Hunter\u2019s schemes were <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2020\/10\/29\/cybersecurity-expert-authenticates-hunter-biden-burisma-email\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">authenticated<\/a> by forensic specialists.
