Hunter's Indictment

For John, BLUF:  The indictment of Mr Hunter Biden didn't make sense at the time.  This helps clear it up a little.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

The Hunter Biden Indictments Are a Ruse.  Here’s Why.

From PJ Media, by Reporter Matt Margolis, 15 September 2023, 11:04 AM.

Here is the lede plus three:

It’s a true reflection of the sad state of our justice system that we have to be suspicious of anything it does.  When we first learned that Hunter Biden would likely be indicted, I was skeptical and felt that even if Special Counsel David Weiss did indict him, it would be a ruse.  Still, when the indictments came down on Thursday, it was hard not to feel somewhat elated—but that suspicion still nags at me.

Seriously, does anyone believe that Hunter Biden will actually face any jail time?  Would Weiss, one of the architects of Hunter’s ridiculous plea deal, actually put Hunter Biden behind bars? I don’t.  But in the meantime, many think it is a possibility.

According to Mike Davis, a former law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, we shouldn’t be fooled by these indictments, and he explains why.

“Don’t be fooled,” he began in a lengthy post on X/Twitter. “Today’s indictment of Hunter Biden for gun felonies is just more coverup by Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss, who has protected the Bidens for years.”

And then Mr Davis explains in some detail.

It appears to me the Democratic Party Establishment does not want President Biden to run in 2024. To avoid a messy fight at their Convention, 19-22 August 2024, Mr Biden needs to step down before the Primaries get serious.  For that to happen, Mr Hunter Biden needs to be in a safe harbor.  That task falls to DoJ and Special Counsel David Weiss.

The other loose end is Ms Kamala Harris.  If she isn't going to slide in as the Democratic Party nominee someone will have to talk to her, or force her out as Vice President.♠
