The hardest part of remaining open minded about assertions regarding Joe Biden's efforts to help his son's business dealings is the inevitable (and insanely reasonable) "whatabout" regarding Donald Trump. If Joe Biden is impeached based on the evidence we have before us; and if the Democrats take the house in 2025; and if Donald Trump is elected (God help us all), then I would fully expect an immediate impeachment of the man whose term in office made a rich, rich, rich person of many of his family members (including two sons).
*****If, in the name of fairness, I credit the Hunter-hunters when they have a point and concede the possibility that they may yet prove others, I also have to call out their argument that are the stuff of fiction. Take the preposterous idea that the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, Viktor Shokin, was viewed as something other than a corrupt force by anyone paying attention. In my next post I’ll lay out the reams of evidence that contradict this assertion.*****

While reading the preceding paragraphs of the essay, I strained against a "But...but...but" impulse.
One expects that in the next essay Mike will make clear that both the "Probable" and "Plausible" buckets represent inversions of reality. As vice president, Biden acted solely in the national interest, unmoved in any direction by consideration of his son's interest.
Absurd Pseudointellectual Republican Drivel.

Mike, on what other podcast did you recently appear? You mentioned it somewhere but I can’t find it in the show notes. Thanks!
