According to supporters of President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden was ultimately held accountable on Tuesday, putting an end to the country’s long ordeal of dealing with criticism.

According to law professor Jonathan Turley of George Washington University, the Department of Justice should investigate serious allegations, not trivial offenses such as issuing a speeding citation to “the getaway driver after a bank robbery.” This accountability for the president’s son was merely a reprimand, however.

Republicans in Congress have recently made public an FBI informant’s “highly credible” allegation that Mykola Zlochevsky, the creator of Burisma and a Ukrainian magnate, bribed Hunter Biden and his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, with $10 million.

Zlochevsky referred to the then-vice president as “the big guy,” a moniker allegedly employed by the Biden family in dubious business operations in China. Zlochevsky allegedly produced two audio recordings of Joe Biden (and 15 of Hunter) discussing their business activities as a type of “insurance policy” to ensure he received what he paid for. Iowa Republican Senator Chuck Grassley made the recordings public.

For whom or what did he pay? The final objective of “the deliverables,” according to emails from the chairman of Burisma that were made public three years ago, was “to close down for any cases/pursuits against [Burisma’s president] in Ukraine.” When Vice President Biden compelled the Ukrainian government to terminate the prosecutor pursuing Burisma, the matter was effectively resolved.

Congressional investigators report that Hunter helped Burisma officials establish an account at Satabank, a Maltese bank that was shut down two years later for “gross deficiencies” in regulating money laundering and adhering to laws on terrorism financing. The government had doubts about the banks’ interactions with Burisma, which, according to prosecutors, resembled money laundering.

Again, this only applies to the prior two weeks.

According to Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Maryland, the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, all of this new information is essentially old information, and these investigations were halted years ago by the individual selected by former Attorney General Bill Barr.

Barr himself contends this is not the case, claiming in an interview with The Federalist that the document was sent to Delaware for further examination.

John Kirby, a spokesman for the Department of Defense, tells The Daily Caller that he is unconcerned by the allegations of foreign bribery, despite admitting that he has not read them.

Democratic Oversight Committee member Ro Khanna of California believes there is nothing for Congress to investigate. In an interview with John Roberts on Fox News, he stated that the House Oversight Committee should defer to the FBI when conducting investigations into presidential misconduct.

Despite a June Trafalgar Group poll finding that more than half of respondents believe the Biden family has accepted payments from foreigners, the FBI is reluctant to discuss the matter. Even then, the FBI censored mention of the audio recordings (from a document that isn’t even classified) and required committee members to view it in a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) in order to obtain any cooperation from FBI Director Christopher Wray.

It is essential to emphasize that this has all occurred within the past two weeks.

So what is the renowned Department of Justice actually doing? Tuesday, the DOJ informed a Wilmington court that Hunter Biden “has agreed to enter a Pretrial Diversion Agreement” for falsifying information on a weapons application and possessing an illegal handgun. Moreover, he consented to enter guilty pleas to two tax charges.

In conclusion, Hunter Biden is accused of using his position to purchase influence abroad and accepting (and orchestrating) millions of dollars in bribes for himself, his wealthy relative, and his wealthy father. He (along with his father, who was vice president at the time) is accused of conspiring to have the prosecutor dismissed in order to terminate an investigation into a Ukrainian billionaire’s oil business. The DOJ also accepted a guilty plea for what The Washington Post calls “two minor tax crimes,” with the defendant consenting to participate in “diversion programs” and serve two years of probation.
