In Brief: The GOP’s Hunter Biden Probe Is Legit

It promises limited political return, but it’s important — even if Biden family apologists don’t like it.

House Republicans wasted no time after winning the chamber announcing that they will begin a probe into Hunter Biden — and, more importantly, Joe Biden. Political analyst David Harsanyi says that’s a big deal.

As a tactical concern, the House GOP’s decision to open an investigation into Biden family corruption is questionable. It promises limited political return. It would serve Republicans, and the country, far better if the House focused on a hyper-politicized Justice Department that targets the political opposition, labels concerned parents “domestic terrorists,” and ignores violence aimed at pregnancy centers, for starters.

None of that, however, means there isn’t sufficient circumstantial evidence suggesting Joe Biden not only lied about knowing his son was favor-trading on the family name with corrupt autocracies, but that he was a beneficiary of those business dealings. Indeed, precedent says we Republicans have a duty to “democracy” to investigate.

Not that the purported defenders of “democracy” actually want that, of course. The same Leftmedia that spent the last six years haranguing Donald Trump over fake corruption has turned a blind eye toward Joe Biden’s corruption, and is apoplectic over a GOP probe. “Pathological partisanship can lead to cosmic shamelessness,” says Harsanyi. “And you almost have to admire the chutzpah.”

The Hunter story always had far more journalistic substantiation than the histrionic and fallacious Russia-collusion investigations that [the Leftmedia] peddled for five years. … Reporters had interviewed the owner of the Delaware computer shop where Hunter had abandoned his computer. They had Biden’s signature on a receipt. They had on-the-record sources with intimate knowledge of his interactions. They had Tony Bobulinski, one of two former business partners of Hunter Biden who contend that “the big guy” was Joe.

Now, it’s certainly possible that computer shop owner and Bobulinski, a Navy veteran and former chief technology officer at the Naval Nuclear Power Training Command who made campaign contributions to progressives like Ro Khanna, were part of an elaborate fascistic cabal spreading “disinformation,” but now Congress can put them under oath.

Later, emails implicating the president as a participant in Hunter’s schemes were authenticated by forensic specialists. Yet virtually the entire censorious journalistic establishment, with the help of tech giants, limited the story’s exposure to help their preferred candidate win.

“Democracy,” indeed.

Harsanyi rehearses some of the glaring details that point to Biden family corruption before concluding:

Of course, nearly every congressional investigation in history is to one extent or another undertaken in “bad faith,” and that’s fine. One of most beneficial roles of political parties is that they will hold the opposition accountable. But [leftists] only see legitimacy in their objectives — which is one of the numerous reasons their claim to be democracy’s defenders is so laughable.
