Oh, look! A Hunter investigation

Now, the $64 question...What happens if some of this spatters on Joe?

Then hopefully they’d appoint a special counsel.

"Office Mates"

Hunter Biden called his father, President-elect Joe Biden, and his Chinese business partner “office mates” in a Sept. 21, 2017, email to the general manager of his former Washington, D.C. office building.

“[P]lease have keys made available for new office mates,” Hunter Biden wrote in the email before listing Joe Biden, his stepmother Jill Biden, his uncle Jim Biden and Gongwen Dong, who he identified as the “emissary” for the chairman of the now-bankrupt Chinese energy conglomerate CEFC.

Hunter Biden also requested that a sign be made for his office stating “The Biden Foundation” and “Hudson West (CEFC US).”

There are two stories here:

1. Why Barr kept the investigation under wraps. Most reasonable people seem to think that he didn't want to do what Comey did in 2016. Also, he was following DOJ policy.

2. Why Twitter Facebook and others spiked the story. This has the potential for being (in Joe's words) a big fucking deal. The fact that they suppressed it is shameful. I'm seeing all kinds of headlines that say, "Media are now reporting...."

"Now?" Really?

Why has the impeachment process not started?

Actually, I'm not sure it hasn't.

YARLY. The New York Daily News called for impeachment of July of 2016.

Politico outdid that paper with a "fantasy" in April.
