It appears that the latest lamestream media attempt to spin the Hunter Biden story favorably is to say that Trump had (legitimate business) dealings in China, which are of course not morally different from Biden's (at best highly questionable and at worst outright bribery from a hostile country) dealings in China.
The lamestream media is getting more pathetic by the day.
I didn't follow the impeachment because I knew where that was going. I believe Trumps impeachment was over his involvement with trying to coerce the Ukrainian Gov't to investigate a political rival. As you say nothing became of it as will this new DOJ investigation of Hunters emails. There just isn't anything there or at least not enough to cause the DOJ to indict anyone. It's all political leveraging by each party to convince voters that the other party is doing something underhanded and illegal. All for show at the tax payers expense.
Most voters probably won't be swayed. The election will come down to the economy, health care, supreme court appointments, covid, violent crime, foreign policy and gun policy in that order according to pew research. Nobody cares about a phone call Trump made or how much crack Hunter Biden smoked. That isn't something you worry about if you don't have a job or health insurance.
In the P-F basket of deplorables.
If investigating political rivals is cool now, are we saying that Obama investigating corrupt Trump campaign officials was also cool?
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." - Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Constitution, Draft 1, 1776
What is cool is legitimate investigation of criminal activity regardless of who is being investigated,and not using criminal investigations to keep honest people out of power.
Trump spent 3 years of his presidency defending against accusations that even the accusers didn't believe. Brett Kavanaugh had to defend against fabricated accusations from people who could not even remember whether they were in the same place at the same time.
Comparing any of the investigations of Trump with investigating the Bidens is simply neither an accurate nor a fair comparison.
