One hazard of political campaigns is the unseen junction — a key moment that nobody recognizes at the time.
Such a moment came for Democrats on April 19, via a letter to Congress about the federal probe into Joe Biden’s son Hunter.
Team Biden might be forgiven for ignoring the missive.
Hunter’s legal team was quietly negotiating with US Attorney David Weiss, working to close his probe with no charges.
The sordid laptop aside, the Biden circle had good reason to believe the drama would soon be over, that Americans would (again) be denied further details of the Biden family business.
Instead, the letter introduced the country to the first of two Internal Revenue Service agents who’d been tossed from the Hunter investigation after flagging irregularities.
Their whistleblower testimony blew open the ugly details of Hunter’s foreign business escapades.
Follow-up interviews suggested Joe’s tacit assistance.
The Justice Department came under fire. Hunter’s plea deal fell apart. Mr. Weiss obtained indictments against him.
Yet to come: Hunter’s trial proceedings, a possible Hunter contempt of Congress citation and a possible Joe Biden impeachment.
