If there’s one thing Hunter Biden and the Biden family have going for them, it is that the allegations brought this week by House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R., Ky.) are complicated. Complexity favors the accused in the court of public opinion, which is the venue in which Comer’s claims are presently being litigated.
The single-sentence version of the allegations against the president’s relations is this: Joe Biden may have used his political influence to help his family members obtain audiences with influential foreign business leaders, and the Bidens profited from those relationships. That version of events elides many details spelled out by Comer and others, a concision that frustrates those who want to craft a tidy narrative of malfeasance on the Bidens’ part that also adheres to the facts as they are known.
