WTF? CNN - Federal investigation of Hunter Biden heats up

[spanone]

Washington (CNN) - A Justice Department investigation into Hunter Biden's business activities has gained steam in recent months, with a flurry of witnesses providing testimony to federal investigators and more expected to provide interviews in the coming weeks, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

The probe, led by the US Attorney in Wilmington, Delaware, began as early as 2018 and concerns multiple financial and business activities in foreign countries dating to when Biden's father was vice president. Investigators have examined whether Hunter Biden and some of his associates violated money laundering, tax and foreign lobbying laws, as well as firearm and other regulations, multiple sources said.

To do so, law enforcement has gathered information from lobbyists connected to Hunter Biden, from his business partners, and from others who've observed his financial engagements, including a woman with whom he had a child.

Hunter Biden has not been charged with any crimes and has denied any wrongdoing. His father, President Joe Biden is not being investigated as part of the probe of his son's business activities, according to sources who have been briefed.

1. The DOJ. Earning their pay.

[uponit7771]

2. This is so fvckin hurtful, I've read the article and the DOJ has LITERALLY taken stupid shit from

... the right wing and investigated them as if they're real down to source of funds from liens to pay off 45,000 tax bill ?!!?

OF COURSE Hunter Biden would have that kind of money !!!

Gun charges ?! REALLY ?! He can own a gun and there were no laws that his former girlfriend couldn't throw it away !!!

"Burisma" ?!!? REALLY ?!?! There were ... NO ... indicators he was being paid more than what his skill set said they should !!

WTAF ?!?!?

The DOJ is using resources to investigate bullshit while Putin's Whore is STILL asking for Putrids help against a proposed political opponent !!!!

[Voltaire2]

3. They don't have anything else on their plate.

[spanone]

4. And silly me thought the DOJ didn't speak about ongoing investigations.

[Me.]

6. It's The Comey Scrnario All Over Again

have they spent even 5 minutes on tfg? I though Garland was supposed to be the best of the best. Where have we heard that before?

[LizBeth]

10. +1

[Scrivener7]

5. Apparently the DOJ has no trouble talking about investigations.

This is such bullshit. And guess what? This means that Joe can't replace Garland because it would be terrible press.

[dchill]

7. Who's in charge at the DOJ?

[MagickMuffin]

9. Ginni Thomas? Perhaps her dyed roots go deeper than we can see

Deep State is real or Dark State is more like it.

[doc03]

8. Yesterday Trump asked Putin to find dirt on Hunter Biden. Today the investigation of Hunter Biden

by the DOJ is heating up. Kind of looks like Trump's corruption in the DOJ went much deeper
than Barr. They step up the investigation of Hunter Biden but nobody so far charged from Jan 6th
higher than a couple Proud Boys. We may as well face it Trump is not going to be charged for his crimes
by anyone. These so called investigations are dropping one after the other.

[Baltimike]

18. spot on. nt

[gldstwmn]

29. It looks like a good purge is needed at DOJ but I am doubtful it will happen.

I will ask again, is Trump some kind of confidential informant? How badly is our government compromised with Russian assets?

[BlueJac]

11. Crazy talk!

What about Trump and his Cronies and their scheme to overturn the election? Small potatoes compared to Huner Biden. This garbage was on CNN and MSNBC all morning. I hate the MSM bought and paid for by the right wing!

[Xoan]

12. Interesting that we know about this ...

but nothing about DOJ investigating Trump.

[bullwinkle428]

13. CNN said that Biden dumped all U.S. Attorneys except TWO - John Durham, and

this guy in Delaware, who's apparently in charge of the Hunter Biden investigation.

[PRETZEL]

20. I hadn't heard that, but it sounds believable

only because in Durham's case, I believe he's a "special " prosecutor, which has a different role, and the Delaware USA would obviously have played right into the Hunter Biden bullsh*t.

So, personally, my opinion is that main DOJ may know there's nothing there but can't shut it down for the optics it would display.

[wanda4rafi]

14. Fine by me. Corruption is corruption. Just go after all of them no matter

political affiliations.

[Scrivener7]

15. A coup is a little more important than a fever dream.

[Stinky The Clown]

16. Welcome to DU

Enjoy your time here

[wanda4rafi]

31. Thanks Stinky.

33. He didn't get your sarcasm

[obamanut2012]

21. lol

[Marius25]

19. Why is the DoJ focused on Hunter

and not the Trump kids?

[Demsrule86]

24. This is a Trump holdover who was investigating before the election. I suppose that is why Biden

didn't fire him...such bullshit.

[gldstwmn]

30. They're going to skate too. Jared was all mixed up with MBS in the torture and murder of Jamal

Khashoggi.

[KS Toronado]

22. "The probe, led by the US Attorney in Wilmington, Delaware, began as early as 2018"

Why are people bashing the United States DOJ & Garland over this? David C. Weiss (R) a rump nominee
started the Hunter Biden investigation even before Merrick Garland became our Attorney General.

[NoMoreRepugs]

23. A 4 year old investigation started by a SlobFather appointee HEATS UP?

Wonder how the investigation into Ivanka while she was IN the White House and received 28 foreign trademarks is going??

[spanone]

26. Nothing to do with Garland. Don't know why anyone would blame him. I blame trump.

[thecrow]

25. TFG distraction to stay in the news

He can’t let it go.
Besides, I thought the Hunter thing was settled?

[andym]

27. It's actually good news: when Trump accuses the DOJ of partisanship, just point to Hunter Biden

The news media will have no choice but to state that DOJ is not partisan and Trump's men and perhaps Trump himself will not have the partisanship excuse when they are indicted.

[gldstwmn]

28. We need to take a long hard look at those who are too closely connected to Russia in our government.

If Hunter Biden broke the law then fine, prosecute him. Yet we have TFG admitting to various felonies over and over again and no one seems interested in prosecuting him.

[iemanja]

32. This is what they do instead of prosecuting Trump.

[mountain grammy]

34. CBS news too
