All the crimes that Hunter’s ridiculous plea deal missed

Hunter is resolved.

Those words yesterday from Hunter Biden s counsel, Chris Clark, were confident and certain. He declared the five-year investigation effectively closed even as the Justice Department insisted the investigation is ongoing.

If none of this seems to make sense, it is because it doesn t. 

For years, the political and media elite have struggled to resolve the disaster that is Hunter. They have finally done so with a long-predicted controlled demolition of the scandal by having the president s son plead guilty to a couple of minor tax violations without a serious threat of jail time.

They even threw in a phantom felony allegation that will evaporate once Hunter completes a diversion program. 

The diversion program is particularly insulting to the intelligence of the American people. Hunter is reportedly no longer an addict, having attended treatment and taken up painting. Yet he will be treated like he is a junkie picked up in a drug sweep, and everyone will pretend that this is about addiction rather than corruption.
