In an eye-opening revelation from The New York Times, it has come to light that Hunter Biden, the not-so-illustrious son of our current president, sought assistance from the U.S. State Department to help land a deal for the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, an endeavor he was directly involved with in 2016. This incident occurred while Joe Biden was still the vice president, and perhaps it’s a sign that the apple doesn’t fall far from the scandalous tree. The timing is exquisite: just after Joe Biden bowed out of the presidential race, the records came tumbling out, like the proverbial skeletons from a closet.
The latest morsel of information indicates that Hunter sent letters to the U.S. ambassador in Italy, requesting help for Burisma—a company that has been synonymous with controversy for years. There is a certain unease among embassy officials about this blaring conflict of interest. One can only imagine the internal discussions that must have taken place, as a Commerce Department official expressed hesitance about making promises. If that’s not the epitome of ‘who do you know,’ it’s hard to say what is.
One might even wonder if President Biden’s recent withdrawal from the race wasn’t part of a greater orchestration to cleanse the family’s tarnished image. The records that surfaced had been deliberately withheld for years, raising eyebrows like nothing else. Was this release scheduled weeks in advance, as claimed? Or was it a last-minute scramble by a beleaguered administration eager to shed some light before dark clouds gathered too closely? Skeptics abound, particularly on social media, where folks eager to connect the dots have taken to questioning the legitimacy of these revelations.
Historically, the State Department has earned a reputation for being slower than molasses on a cold day when it comes to releasing records, so the sudden availability of thousands of pages prompts even more raised eyebrows. Notably, though this mountain of paper has been delivered, the actual text of Hunter’s letter has mysteriously vanished into the ether. It’s almost as if the universe is telling the world to simply “trust us” when it comes to investigating the Biden family—something many Americans aren’t willing to accept at face value.

The situation also raises important questions regarding Hunter’s legal responsibilities. Somehow, he remains free of any charges for violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act, even after asking the U.S. government for help on behalf of foreign interests. This selective enforcement has not escaped the attention of House Republicans, who have been laser-focused on examining the Biden family’s questionable dealings. With hints of collusion not-so-subtly flowing through the political corridors, they are fervently pursuing any dirt they can dig up.
More than just potential legal ramifications lurk beneath the surface here; there’s a deeper, more troubling narrative of entitlement and nepotism at play. As investigations march on, it seems the Biden family is destined to be scrutinized further, perhaps providing entertainment during these otherwise drab political days. The curtain might just be lifting on a saga that many have suspected for some time—what remains to be seen is how the rest of the partisan media will handle the impending revelations.
