The Hunter investigation needs a special counsel

Suspicion of a cover-up is justified following news that the entire IRS team investigating presidential son Hunter Biden may have been removed from the case at the Justice Department’s behest.
Five years after federal authorities began investigating the younger Biden’s business dealings, no charge has been filed despite what seems to be copious evidence of wrongdoing. At least two whistleblowers say they have evidence of a cover-up. Combine that with the intelligence community’s partisan actions to spike the story of Hunter Biden’s embarrassing laptop contents, and it is time for a special counsel.
To review, last October, news outlets reported that federal agents believed they had enough evidence to charge Hunter Biden with tax crimes and with making false statements about a gun purchase. His laptop contents also make clear that he hooked up with high-priced international prostitutes, which raises trafficking concerns. And congressional investigators have shown conclusively that at least seven Biden family members were paid by dubious foreign sources, usually funneled through one or more of some 20 intermediary “shell” corporations.
Those are just some highlights, or perhaps lowlights.
