Your post is meaningless. There is no precedent or template for a criminal investigation into the son of a sitting Vice-President, now President. The investigation - to the extent there was one - was lead by folks to whom the Vice -President now President was above them in the chain of command. In most circles, this would be perceived as a potential conflict of interest.

What does potential (based on the evidence, I'd suggest it was probable) conflict of interest look like? It looks like this:

According to a transcript of his May interview before the House Ways and Means Committee, IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley testified that the Oct. 7, 2022, session was his "red-line" meeting.


According to a transcript of his May interview before the House Ways and Means Committee, IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley testified that the Oct. 7, 2022, session was his "red-line" meeting.

Shapley said Weiss, "senior-level managers" from the IRS, FBI and the Delaware U.S. attorney's office participated, among others. At the meeting Shapley alleged that Weiss "surprised us by telling us on the (Hunter Biden) charges, quote: 'I'm not the deciding official on whether charges are filed,' unquote. He then shocked us with the earth-shattering news that the Biden-appointed D.C. U.S. Attorney Matthew Graves would not allow him to charge in Washington, D.C., where Hunter Biden lived during some of the years under investigation. To add to the surprise, U.S. Attorney Weiss stated that he subsequently asked for special counsel authority from Main DOJ at that time and was denied that authority."

Shapley then alleged that bringing tax charges in California, where Hunter Biden now lives, was also in doubt.

"This was troubling, because he stated that, if California does not support charging, he has no authority to charge in California," the transcript reads. "Because it had been denied, he informed us the government would not be bringing charges against Hunter Biden for the 2014-2015 tax years, for which the statute of limitations were set to expire in one month. All of our years of effort getting to the bottom of the massive amounts of foreign money Hunter Biden received from Burisma and others during that period would be for nothing."
