I also feel that Biden acted unconscionably in asserting that the DoJ's decision to charge Hunter was in any way inappropriate.

I don't see where President Biden asserted that the DOJ's charging decision was inappropriate. What I'm reading is that he said it was the result of political pressure. The DOJ was absolutely pressured by Republicans to take on the case.

Without doubt attention was drawn to the case because of the judge not thinking the defense and prosecution were on the same page. So someone inside did take a second look. With intent being easier to prove due to written statements, someone realized he should've been charged. They might not have looked at it if attention hadn't been drawn to it. So in one sense he was charged because he was famous.

But that might not be the case if they review cases where the judge does things like this routinely, in which case it was caught due to normal processing review.

But it looked like this fellow was almost off scot-free and went to court because of the attention, not that he was guilty. I didn't follow it. But he's guilty. If anything it now looks like the DoJ erred in almost letting him off scot-free.

And Biden's pardon is questionable. I agree that you can never put anything past Trump, but we've now gone from attempting to get Ukraine to say they've launched an investigation, to Hunter Biden being convicted and pardoned.

Now we get to see what Kash Patel does with the FBI. His pronouncements sound like anyone connected to the Russian investigations of Trump will be fired.
