On Wednesday, The New York Times reported that the Justice Department has concluded that Hunter Biden has properly paid his tax bill — a major blow to right-wing conspiracy theorists who were hoping the president's son would be charged with a crime.

Nonetheless, the investigation continues to proceed along other lines.

"Mr. Biden’s failure to pay all his taxes has been a focus of the ongoing Justice Department investigation," reported Katie Benner, Kenneth P. Vogel and Michael S. Schmidt. "While wiping out his liability does not preclude criminal charges against him, the payment could make it harder for prosecutors to win a conviction or a long sentence for tax-related offenses, according to tax law experts, since juries and judges tend to be more sympathetic to defendants who have paid their bills."

. . .

Hunter Biden has long been a focal point for Republicans who are attempting, without evidence, to find the Biden administration gave political favors to his son, the way former President Donald Trump did for his children. The conspiracy theory that Hunter Biden's business holdings in Ukraine were the basis for then-Vice President Joe Biden's attempt to oust a corrupt Ukrainian prosecutor formed the basis of Trump's effort to shake down Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky over arms deals, which led to his first impeachment.

3. They never hear it, example Washington Examiner (RW DC rag) view of the story

This is what they hear (from Washington Examiner RW rag):

Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss is known to be leading a federal investigation into President Joe Biden's adult son, who denies any wrongdoing, and the New York Times reported Wednesday that the investigation, which began as “a tax inquiry” during the Obama administration, then “widened” in 2018 to encompass “possible criminal violations of tax laws, as well as foreign lobbying and money laundering rules, according to the people familiar with the inquiry.”

And here's how they respond:

This is how they will force Brandon out. They know the papertrail will to him. Evidently his handlers have decided the time of him being a useful idiot is drwaing to a close.
