Nite of the Hunter & Joe's Lites-Out Campaign

A mini-Trump trial of sorts, Hunter Biden’s gun enthusiast defense continues Monday & pundits are torn between the sordid affair “hiding” allegations of Joe’s own corruption & “exposing” it as well as the entire family’s “dark moments."

While Son of Joe’s troubled defense undoubtedly keeps bad news of Father of Hunter off the front pages, who can guarantee it’s a campaign plus when even good news gets buried? The WSJ’s editorial board certainly doesn’t. The editors recently suggested even a Barnum & Bailey ringmaster would have a tough time trying to “balance performing duties abroad, supporting an [accused] son at home & criticizing the ‘convicted felon’ Donald Trump … especially, when the octogenarian has trouble reading cue cards or finding his seat on a D-Day stage. As the editors observe, “the latest episode” of Hunter’s drug & influence peddling past also finally coming to light in a court of law “risks muddling a piece of the president’s re-election message” that Trump is the “corrupt” one. Although Joe has yet to be absolutely, positively linked to Hunter’s past “business” with foreign actors, that damning laptop the FBI just swore under oath was “authentic” UNEQUIVOCALLY suggests No. 46 & No. 1 are more “father like son, son like father,” who are joined at the hip if not wallet.

Did we mention Hunter is likely to go to another felony trial on tax charges in September? To be sure, Jimmy Carter’s beer aficionado brother, Billy, was far less of a pain to the WH than Hunter is to Joe. The pressure, in fact, is so great that Mr. Biden was all but forced to tell ABC News while attending a D-Day ceremony in France that he would NOT pardon his son, if convicted. Like Trump, Joe insisted his son has “done nothing wrong.” But, as this Saga of Hunter drags on, who besides never Trumpers are going to believe Trump did?
