Maybe the journalists and pundits who don't seem to grasp the danger Hunter faced would have gotten it if Biden had put Hunter's name on a very long list with the other individuals Kash Patel and Ivan Raiklin have promised to "get."

Then I think it would have been harder to criticize what he did, or pretend like it was done only because Hunter is is son. He truly faced onerous circumstances--it wasn't irrational to worry about Hunter's mental health. In fact he discussed this on some podcast a year or so ago (apologies--I wish I knew which one it was, but I heard a clip played on SiriusXM).
