I wonder, will it get that far? The Supreme Court has yet to dispose of the Texas suit. Let's skip by that and assume that the Supremes bless this mess of an election and Joe gets inaugurated. Shipwreckedcrew, a 22-year federal prosecutor now in private practice, predicts that the recent announcement by Hunter Biden that he is under investigation will lead to Joe's resignation — for health reasons, of course.
The revelation yesterday by Hunter Biden that his attorney has been advised by the US Attorney’s Office in Delaware that he is under investigation offers little in the way of specifics, but an informed view of this acknowledgment reveals some practical issues that are of profound significance — in ways that are not good for Joe Biden. Such notification likely came by way of a “Target Letter”, which is the kind of “overt step” that would have been against DOJ Policy during the self-imposed “quiet period” leading up to the election.
First, Hunter Biden’s public statement claims that his taxes are under investigation. That is likely true, but the fact that the investigation is located in the US Attorney’s Office for Delaware means this is not just a tax case.

The FBI and IRS criminal investigators who do these types of investigations are exceptionally good at what they do. The combination of this investigation and health considerations will lead to the resignation of Joe Biden from office. Health reasons will be the public explanation, but there is no way for Joe Biden to escape the web of criminal entanglements that Hunter Biden was involved in with the Chinese and others based on the information that became public prior to the election. I’m confident there is much more evidence than what has been seen.
I never thought Joe would win the Democrat nomination, unless there was a deal for him to step aside sometime after the inauguration, but I expected the deal would be with Hillary. When he sealed up the nomination but did not pick Hillary as his running mate, I briefly entertained the notion that Biden might actually try to be a functional president. But then Kamala Harris slipped up and talked about the "Harris administration," and at a campaign stop in Texas she was introduced as "the next president of the United States, Sen. Kamala Harris.” The cat was out of the bag — sort of.
But could the Dems have anticipated this development — that Hunter's legal problems would usher in America's first female president? I suppose they could have. I mean, how could they not know how the extent of the Bidens' corruption?
We live in interesting times.
