I'm surprised no one has been discussing this here? Maybe I missed it because I am only checking this forum a couple times per week now.

Seems like the social media probably shouldn't have been censoring this when they did prior to the election. I don't really care to share my thoughts on all of this but I am interested to see where this goes and how the media chooses to cover this.

I'll take the bait. I am not sure what there is to discuss.

1. Biden Jr. is the one who announced the investigation. That may be just good PR but there is no grand announcement from the The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware probably makes it less of a big deal.

2. I only read the FOX article because I figure they are most likely to give the most fair and balanced coverage. According to that article, the President-Elect is not being investigated.

3. Beyond 1 and 2, there is basically nothing new between the linked article embedded in the story that was published on October 21 and the article published on yesterday. Large passages of the article are almost copied word for word including the copies of documents.

4. I think the vast majority of the board believes that if the President's or President Elect's offspring is taking advantage of their parent's position for personal gain, it should be investigate to see if criminal activity has taken place. If it were not being investigated or road blocks are have been placed to prevent an investigation, well that might generated a bit more discussion, no? The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware is investigating Hunter Biden, good. To this point, the Biden team has not put any road blocks in the way to hamper the investigation. I am hoping this is an investigation about the search for illegal activity and not one meant to distract from the Biden presidency. If it is a sincere investigation of the former, then spend the government resources to gain and indictment, a conviction and dole out punishment. If it is about the latter then it is a disgrace.
