There is a difference between winking at crime and looking the other way. The FBI winked at Whitey Bulger when it let him carry on killing, so long as he remained an informant. Whitey’s brother William, the upright public servant, merely looked the other way. Eventually, he disgraced himself by refusing to cooperate with the FBI’s inquiries into Whitey’s activities, stonewalling a grand jury, and taking the Fifth before a congressional committee. But William was only forced out of public life after Whitey lost his protected status as an informer. Hunter Biden is still protected, at least until after the midterm elections. This in itself is a scandal in plain sight. The party that talks of equity is insulting the fundamental principle of equality before the law. This could not happen without the active assistance of almost all of America’s major media outlets, which have suppressed and lied about Hunter Biden and his laptop, and the federal agencies that are supposed to enforce the law. My Son Hunter is a missed opportunity of a film, but then, so is the whole Hunter Biden story. Did Joe wink at Hunter’s excesses and enable them, or did he merely look the other way and keep a sensible distance? If the Republicans deploy the apparatus of congressional inquiries, we might get a partial answer to that question, but it might not be sufficient to resolve the second question in their favor:Will it matter? A lot has happened since the 2020 elections. The voters are more concerned with inflation and a faltering economy than the war in Ukraine, let alone Hunter Biden’s prior dealings in that faraway country of which we know little or the increasingly deranged attempt to vindicate Trump’s incitement of the Jan. 6 riot. The truth, or something approaching it, is dripping out, but the story is falling off the front pages. Like this film, the hunt for Hunter has deteriorated into that political Hunting of the Snark, the partisan gotcha. This kind of investigation, whether cinematic or congressional — and the two are increasingly hard to tell apart — always delivers less than the marquee promises, star names or not. “I’ve never spoken to my son about his overseas dealings,” Joe Biden said on the campaign trail in Iowa in 2019. Hunter, who has yet to be charged with any crimes, claims to be misunderstood. Joe will claim to be misunderstood, too. An aging father does his best for his wayward son as the neighborhood falls apart, but he gets victimized by a mob of “semi-fascist” MAGA media loonies who believe he’s on the take. It sounds like a pitch for a movie. It will be screened as the news Agree with or disagree with whatever you want.
