Republicans Retake House And Immediately Announce Hunter Biden Investigation

Republicans officially won enough seats to claim a majority in the House this week, and they celebrated by immediately announcing an investigation into Hunter Biden. The DOJ is actually already investigating Hunter and may end up filing charges against him, but that's apparently not good enough for the GOP. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains the multiple different ways this will backfire on Republicans.

Well, folks, unfortunately, the Republican Party has officially won a majority in the House of Representatives. They will be the majority party when that new Congress has sworn in on January 3rd. And once it became official that they had clenched enough seats in the midterms to have that majority, they, uh, they held a press conference yesterday, like shortly after the news, like was official and announced that, yep, we're investigating Hunter Biden folks at long last. We're finally gonna get all those answers, like what's on the laptop and who cares what's on the laptop. Yes, they're gonna be investigating Hunter Biden because they told us in their little press conference here, uh, you, they're pretty sure that President Biden was like involved in some of the sketchy bank activity. They got over, what is it, over a hundred bank activity reports, suspicious bank activity reports. And they're pretty sure that Biden, president Biden was involved with Hunter Biden's, you know, shady business dealings.

Now, here's the thing about this. If President Biden, if Joseph Biden was in fact involved in any of the business deals carried out by Hunter Biden, do you know what that means for President Biden? Yet? The answer's nothing because all of these business deals that Republicans and conservative pundits have flagged, do you know when those took place? They took place from 2017 to, to 2019. Actually started in 2017. October of 2017. Ran for about 18 months during that time when all of these supposed illicit business deals were taking place. Do you know what Joe Biden was? He was a private citizen. He wasn't the vice president anymore. He wasn't a candidate yet, and he sure as hell wasn't president of the United States. So this was just a well connected American citizen helping his son make connections if, if that even happened, right? If it even happened. And as we all know, there is nothing illegal about that. You may think it's immoral. Fine. Is it unethical? That's up for debate, I guess. Is it illegal? 100% not. So even if Republicans found what they think they could find, it's still not even illegal because Biden was a private citizen helping his private citizens son make connections to get business deals. It happens every day in corporate America.

Furthermore, we're gonna hear about the laptop, right? Oh, that Hunter Biden laptop. We're finally gonna break it wide open. You've already done that. Tucker Carlson claimed that

He had the contents, mailed it to himself, and then it somehow got lost in the mail. Oh, darn it. Matt Gates. Matt Gates, just a few months ago, pulled out a, a hard drive and said, these were the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop. I'm putting them into the record. If there was criminal activity there, they would've already shown it. Multiple Fox News hosts, as I said, have said, we have the contents. Rudy Giuliani said, I have the contents. Cool. Show us the criminal activity. You've had it for years now, and you're just saving it for something that that makes zero sense. If you legitimately had it and there was legitimately criminal activity on it, you would've shown it. Like you wouldn't have wasted a single second to use that to smear Biden and the Democrats. So I don't believe for a second there's anything on that laptop that's going to, you know, harm President Biden.

And then of course the timing of it. If Republicans think, and I'm just thinking of this, like if I were a Republican strategist, I would be telling the Republican party right now, like, S pump the brakes.
