On Wednesday, the ladies from “The View” discussed the recent news that prosecutors had reached a deal with Hunter Biden that would allow him to avoid prison and downplayed the charges against the president’s son, the Daily Caller reported.
During the discussion, co-host Whoopi Goldberg revealed her ignorance over the years-long investigation by the US Attorney’s Office in Delaware, assuming that the charges stemmed from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop.
Goldberg declared that the laptop contained no criminal evidence against Hunter. She said she was “so sick” of hearing about Hunter’s laptop and wished it “just crumbles to death.”
Co-host Sunny Hostin claimed that the only things contained in the laptop are nude photos of Hunter and other photos showing the president’s son using drugs and brandishing a gun.
Goldberg interjected that she wants everyone “to shut up” about the laptop. She suggested that the only reason Republicans are targeting Hunter Biden is because they are trying to go after President Biden. She claimed that Republicans are looking for evidence “that isn’t really there.”
Whoopi challenged Republicans to do their “damnedest” to look for evidence against President Biden “because that’s what we did.” She said if Republicans do find anything, then they should “show the nation” rather than “holding up BS stuff when there’s nothing there.”
Whoopi should have been careful about what she wished for.
Just one day after her challenge, the Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee released the redacted transcripts from two IRS whistleblowers who outlined all the ways in which the Justice Department slow-walked and obstructed the investigation into Hunter Biden’s foreign business deals.
In his testimony, IRS criminal investigator Gary Shapley read the transcript from a July 30, 2017 WhatsApp message from Hunter Biden to Chinese businessman Henry Zhao, in which Hunter said he was “sitting here with my father” waiting for Zhao to call him to explain why the “commitment” made between Hunter and Chinese energy company CEFC hadn’t been “fulfilled.”
In the message, Hunter vowed that if he didn’t hear from Zhao, “the man sitting next to me” (AKA his father), and “every person he knows” will make sure that Zhao “will regret not following my direction.”
