If Hunter is Indicted
Real Clear Politics ^ | 5/9/23 | Charles Lipson

Posted on 05/09/2023 11:25:34 AM PDT by CFW

What will President Biden do if his son is indicted by the federal prosecutor in Delaware? That’s one of three questions looming over U.S. Attorney David Weiss’ fateful choice. The second is whether the indictment will go after a larger, coordinated family scheme of influence peddling or confine itself to smaller, tightly-confined issues like lying to get a gun permit and not registering as a foreign lobbyist. The third is whether Attorney General Merrick Garland will approve Weiss’ proposed charges. Significant political calculations follow from those decisions.

It’s easy enough to answer what Garland will do. He has little choice but to approve any charges Weiss proposes after the government’s multi-year investigation. Anything else would look shady, a far cry from the neutral, apolitical justice Garland’s department is charged with dispensing. Burying the charges, after Garland’s refusal to appoint a special counsel, would embroil his department in its nastiest controversy since John Mitchell befouled it under President Nixon.

Assuming the federal attorney proposes felony charges and Garland approves them, Joe Biden faces the toughest choice of his political life.

And either the prosecutors or Joe himself will be lauded for preventing “constitutional crisis in a time of great risk”

All of this information has been known by the insiders for at least 5 years. It has been openly discussed in rightwing media for 2.5 years.

The fact that it is now being talked about by the mainstream press is because the marionette is no longer needed.

Obama’s minions ran the Whitehouse for the past 2 years and they are ready to move on to the next stooge. They can blame all of the “failures” on old Joe while absolutely loving the situation that has been created. (globalism, war, immigrant invasion, racial strife, violence, lawlessness, etc...)
