Immediately notice the distinction. Others would be saying "This is a targeted WITCH HUNT, it's all lies made up by the other side! It's obviously bribery and corruption! We're losing our country WWAAAA WAAAAA etc".
Either that, or "What son? I barely know him, he was just a coffee boy. Never seen him before in my life."
It was made up anyway, it's all fake news you see.
they should agree to schedule Hunter's and Trump's hearings for the same weekend
Fox “News” would certainly make the most of that.
They should make it a literal penis measuring contest. Winner gets to be Pissident of NewsMax.
Word on the street is Hunter's winning that one
Just pardon him now. For the lulz.
How about: pardon him, and simultaneously draft an ammendment saying that pardons cannot be used on yourself, family members, or your close associates.
Just imagine what Trump would have said
That sounds, dare I say it, presidential.
As it should. This is the right decision, even though he shouldn't have a decision into it at all. Which is more than can be said for the lack of investigations into the Trump kids.
But of course it's not going to stop conservatives from going "two tier justice for the Biden crime family hur dur!"
This is the best summary I could come up with:
That’s up to the Justice Department, and that’s all I have to say,” Biden said at a joint press conference with the leaders of South Korea and Japan.
The move came after a plea deal for Biden related to failure to pay income taxes appeared to fall apart.
Republicans have sharply criticized how the tax probe into Biden was handled, citing claims from two IRS whistleblowers that Weiss was blocked from seeking special counsel status — a claim Weiss and the DOJ have consistently denied.
The whistleblowers, IRS investigators Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, also claimed the Justice Department slow-walked the case, gave Biden preferential treatment and declined to pursue charges in other jurisdictions with stronger evidence.
The appointment of a special counsel thrust the president’s son back into the headlines, providing yet another opening for Republicans to go on the attack and question whether Hunter Biden is receiving favorable treatment from the Justice Department.
The president and White House officials have repeatedly declined to weigh in on the probe into Hunter Biden and have been adamant that they will allow the Justice Department to proceed independently.
The original article contains 246 words, the summary contains 186 words. Saved 24%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
so, republicans know better what happened to Weiss than Weiss does? well I guess it does fit with the rest of their stances like women and self determinate
Fox News: “Joe Biden demands zero consequences for Hunter’s business dealings!”
