Honestly stuff like this just makes me wish the internet never existed. No internet = No disinformation (or at least way less)

If Joe Biden has commited a crime, Congress can and should impeach and remove him from office. But first there needs to be good evidence and a trial ran by Congress.

If Hunter Biden has commited a crime similarly, wouldn't the US justice system eventually put him behind bars?

Hell, even in the most corrupt scenario of Joe pardoning Hunter; which would be legal, I would trust the American public to ditch Joe Biden in 2024 (or alternatively for Biden to lose the Democratic primary).

My issue is the media's stifling of a legitimate story that deserved investigation and discussion BEFORE the election.

Hunter Biden is under two (2) Federal Criminal investigations.  There is an allegation, made in a sworn statement that Joe Biden knew of Hunter's business activities.  If it's not a crime, it's certainly a direct contradiction of statements Joe Biden made to the effect that Joe Biden lied when he said he knew nothing of his knowledge of his son's activities and beg the question of how much of Hunter's business Joe knew about while he was VP.

Why should that story have been suppressed or delayed to the point that it was.  It was removed from Twitter; why did that happen?  Was that right?  Why was it right if you say it was?

Lying on the campaign trail is immoral; but it is not illegal. It is not even an impeachable offence, but rather something that should be dealt with in 2024. I don't get the point? Even if Biden did know his son was doing crimes and lied to the US public, so what?

In that scenario I would trust the American people to ditch Biden (whether on the Dem primary, the general election, or Biden simply not running for reelection out of shame). Or to tolerate corruption; whatever the American people desire, it wouldn't be the first or last time a corrupt politician gets reelected.

As for the media and Twitter, there is a very interesting debate here on freedom of the press vs bias and fake news to be had; but I don't think the president can do much about it; certainly not unilaterally.
