influence the justice department. it s not uncommon for people who are under investigation to come in and try to explain themselves and say, well, look here. here s extra evidence and paperwork you may not have available to you. here s what i was thinking at the time, which is going to be a critical element of what the adjustment would have to prove. they have to prove his intent. and if he can make a case for saying no, no, no, i did not have criminal intent here. here s i was actually doing something legitimate, you know, it might be in his interest to do that. so that s probably what you re seeing here. maybe it works. maybe it doesn t but it s not uncommon at all for people under investigation to meet with the justice department, but are you surprised it s five years on and a little bit because, you know, look, if it isn t fact a misdemeanor or, you know, not very seriously. firearm charge attack starts. that shouldn t be that hard to build. you know, it s a couple of pieces of evi
emerges. we don t know everything and the key point about you making clear that it s five years on paula mentioned this as well is that this is a trump us attorney holdover intentionally, so the biden ministrations made sure that the u. s attorney in delaware, which is one, the one overseeing investigating the case was kept on from the trump years in order to try to separate itself from, you know, basically recuse itself from the from the investigation without actually appointing a special counsel right? it knew what the optics would be if they brought in the u. s attorney who was appointed by biden, obviously, but the reality is that this investigation is going on at doj the republicans on the hill. they have their own investigation going on, and they asked congressman james comer. he is a republican chair of the oversight committee about what they found now two months into their investigation of hunter biden. here s what he said. you
