I agree with you here. Sort of like Trump and Russiagate, with time it's become pretty clear this Hunter Biden story in and of itself has no legs... and the man's political enemies talking about spending years and millions of tax payer dollars investigating feels frankly offensive to my delicate sensibilities.
However, right before an election (before we all knew it was a nothingburger), for dem establishment and the nations new media to work hand in hand to bury this story, as a means to try help their political allies win an election is a scandal. Like wtf is going on with the American education system that in a few short years we have turned out so many unethical journalists?
