They could have nailed him with FARA, but *chose* not to.
I mean - maybe? That's a hard one to make stick. Hunter Biden was pretty "hands off" in terms of his actual, documented activities with people on behalf of his foreign clients. He arranged meetings and interactions for his clients and public officials - but to prove a FARA violation you have to prove that he engaged in either: i) lobbying; or ii) public relations in a way that meets the requirements of the act. Not just that he brokered a meeting - you have to put him in the room trying to convince a government official to do something on behalf of a foreign client, or that he was a "publicity agent" or "public-relations counsel" as defined by FARA.
Did they have something like that?
