I can't believe that any kind of indictment of Hunter is coming. Not from this administration. So that opens the question of why the donkey media is only now taking an interest in the story.

My guess is that they are doing what Jim Comey tried to do for Evita Clinton back in 2016 when he "re-opened" the illegal emails investigation: trying to do a favor for someone they like, but it may not work they way they intend.

When new evidence of Evita's email criminality came to light in the form of Anthony Weiner's computer, Comey wanted to shut it down before it could harm Evita. But he knew that if he simply ignored the new evidence, the lingering questions would haunt Evita's presidency. So he "re-opened" the investigation long enough to say, "Nothing to see here" and then shut it down again, thinking that this "second debunking" of the accusations would end the email matter for good.

But Evita blamed Comey for her loss anyway, for re-opening the investigation.

I think what the media are trying to do now with the Hunter laptop story is to bury it for good, by pretending to look at it objectively but in the end finding reasons to conclude that there's still nothing there. They are past the point where any revelations will change the outcome of the 2020 election, and want to put the Hunter question to bed once and for all.

But by raising the issue again themselves, the only thing they will get is blame when the donkeys get butchered in the midterms.

They are just trying to get the bad news out of the way so that’s it’s forgotten and/or “accepted” as “old news” by the midterms. Obviously their motivation is not truth, transparency, and accountability.
