Washington -The federal investigation into Hunter Biden's business activities is nearing a critical juncture as investigators weigh possible charges and prosecutors confront Justice Department guidelines to generally avoid bringing politically sensitive cases close to an election, according to people briefed on the matter.
While no final decision has been made on whether to bring charges against President Joe Biden's son, sources say the probe has intensified in recent months along with discussions among Delaware-based prosecutors, investigators running the probe and officials at Justice Department headquarters.
David Weiss, the US Attorney in Delaware, is leading the probe, which dates back to as early as 2018.

Oh Hades just use the usual Dept. of Just-Us excuse to save a Democrat's behind and claim there isn't enough evidence that a 'reasonable'(i.e. DC jury) jury would convict. It works every time. And once the Rebublicans are in charge, nothing, zip, notta will be done.

This is the point when they will say...."OK, no problems here, everything is perfect. No need to continue. Shut down the investigation and destroy all the records, including the laptop.".

I do not trust the Dept. of Just us in Delaware or anywhere else to do the right thing.
If anything is done at all, they will charge him with some misdemeanor, give him probation and then seal all the records so that the "Big Guy" is never implicated or held to answer.

Yeah. Their report will:
1. Give Hunter a Presidential Medal of Honor.
2. Clear him of any wrongdoing.
3. Include a full Presidential pardon coupon, redeemable on Joe's last day as President.

Merrick Garland and the DOJ are as corrupt as Hunter Biden. The prostitute loving first son will skate on all charges. Merrick will have a huge deposit made to his off shore account.

Yeah, maybe they'll bring back Comey to tell us "mistakes were made", but nothing criminal, move on. Sheesh. #twotieredjustice

If they bring charges they will be against Trump. Trump made him do it.

Hunter Biden in his $30k per month Malibu mansion is above the law as is his father and uncles, Hillary Clinton and many others. DOJ...stop with the kabuki theater, ditto for the FBI. These people are in the clear no matter what they did.

Could this be the “take Joe out” excuse? Hunter’s charges get exposed to Joe and the deal is:
1) Joe resigns if:
2) Hunter gets fully pardoned as Joe’s last act and
3) The Biden crime cartel gets full immunity and keeps the millions they have stolen.

When the GOP wants to open an investigation after winning the house, it will find the laptop and all copies of the hard drive have been "lost".

There should have been a special counsel appointed to handle that investigation long ago.

I suspect this is a total dog and pony show. They will tell us how they really really really investigated Hunter Biden but just couldn't find anything illegal. I can't help but wonder how many millions of dollars this prosecutor David Weiss has raked in from the Bidens over the years.

It’s reached that critical juncture where some official is going to have to take a definitive stance and declare “no laws were broken.”
No more mealy mouthing around.

so, this must mean that they've decided, definitely, not to prosecute him and instead give him an Ambassadorship to Colombia so he can monitor the Cocaine drug cartels

Re: #19 "last five years"?????? Try the last 40 years. The Dems are always and forever not guilty. Just not enough evidence. Don't get your hopes up.

I'm with #14 however I'm going to take it a bit further.
The media/DNC ignored Hunter Biden story even though evidence was abundant.
Now, media/DNC/WH (except Joe) know that Biden is toast and pulling the entire party down the drain.
The media/DNC/WH (except Joe) are going to demand he step down due to Hunter story.
Harris will be POTUS, Newsome will be her VP and 2024 Harris will not be able to run....
As Rush would always say, 'the dems always tell us what they are going to do', its just that we can't believe that they are that stupid.

You know our justice system is irretrievably broken when anyone who has been paying attention to this matter already knows its outcome.
#3, Is correct. Joe Biden will not be held accountable for anything. It is the democrat way and clearly, could not happen without the enabling of the Republican Party. There is no accountability for democrats regardless of the offense. They can do anything including murder and get away with it. We no longer have equal justice under the law. Violation of that founding principle would have garnered immediate outrage by legal scholars 20 years ago. Today, not a peep which tells me our entire legal system has been compromised by leftist ideology. The wretched cesspool of lawlessness in Washington DC runs roughshod over the rule of law because they can and, of course, they will continue to do so.

This is all about justifying shaking the etch-a-sketch just like with Hillary, they'll proudly proclaim that everything has been investigated and, although there may have been some irregularities, there is no substantive crime justifying prosecution. Meanwhile people who didn't even go into the capitol rot in jail..

It really doesn't matter...even if they file criminal charges on hunter...the president will pardon his son and Washington will sigh a sign of relief ...and china is laughing all the way to the bank....as long as WE don't have term limits for the house and senate WE will be subject to these paid off politicians...and soros' money will continue to make a mess of our country...the Convention of States is our only answer...

That would be an interesting defense for his financial illegalities--he was too involved with his drug illegalities at the time.

Obviously the DOJ is weighing lesser charges with minor penalties as a better option than opening the pandora’s box of treason and bribery that the President and his POS son are provably guilty of. The timing is tricky. They don’t want to hurt Democrats by announcing anything close to the election but they need to get out ahead of the Congressional investigations coming. My guess is sometime in November or December. Then the media can declare the subject ‘closed’ and quit talking about it.

If the border tragedy doesn't prove that the Democratic Party is a criminal enterprise, nothing will. Clintons, Obama and Biden are Federal Criminals who will never be prosecuted. There is no justice in DC. GOODBYE!

Will never happen. How many times do we have to talk about two scales of justice. It is happening every day. There's one scale for republicans and a heavily weighted scale in favor of democrats. Democrats don't even hide it anymore. The biggest farce of all is Hunter Biden's laptop. We're talking hard evidence that would have put any republican in jail. Face it, we're a communist country owned by the Chinese. And don't think November is slam dunk. These commies will do anything to protect their power and greed. Wake up....

Oh like the federal investigation of Donald Trump and his family is reaching a critical juncture? We all know absolutely nothing will be done to prosecute Hunter or The Big Guy for all of the illegalities and corruption known to exist.

In other words, the Dept of INjustice is ready to put all the evidence in a burn barrel and light it up!
