This must be inevitable and pretty much a slam dunk if CBS is actually willing to cover it. It only took them what....2 years?

[timtaylor]

Congratulations CBS 3 years late on Hunter's laptop

[klew]

Surprised CBS is even allowed to report on this.

[wellokayyes]

Those in power who declare no one is above the law are the ones who are actually above the law.

The citizens of the United States demand

[timtaylor]

Hunter lied on the gun form and has not been arrested

[mickmuffin]

Because they all know they played a part in the

[dodgerblue]

Wait! What? CBS is reporting on something about the Bidens? They have covered for Biden so much that I have a hard time believing that this isn't fake.

[jimdoe]

Get the big guy to get him fired... like the Ukraine attorney

[joetrolo]

Finally going to happen, despite all of the media trying to bury this. If it had been Trump's son, he'd already be serving his second year.

Remember NO ONE is above the law! Let's see if Daddy saves him!!

[GalvestonGuy]

Whoa whoa whoa whoa! I thought this was Russian disinformation!!?!

[vincentbugalia]

You want ratings, cover this story in depth honestly, because it is much bigger than Watergate.

[robertj]

This is the first thumbs up I have given MSM ever

[AXMRDR]

This is how they keep Joe from running again or CBS would bury this story too.

If he's granted whistleblower protection, he's probably a plant, if he ends up in solitary charged with the espionage act he's probably actually a whistleblower.

[chriskibler]

At least half the population already knew what Joe's son was and is today. I doubt you are changing the other halves minds

[jimjohnston]

Where did Hunter learn his fine upstanding values?

[jimdoe]

Hunter paid his dad monthly to live in that house in 2018.. Joe didn't claim it on taxes

[greggwilliams]

No surprise there, but good for that person coming forward and telling the truth about the bs going on
