Trump’s quest to appoint a special lawyer to investigate Hunter Biden makes no sense. Even if Biden’s only surviving son were found to have problems with his taxes, the problem is already being investigated with absolutely no indication that it is in any way related to actions taken by his father or any government official. Hunter Biden’s taxes are currently under review. Period. Just like Donald Trump’s taxes are audited. Source has said Hunter is not the target of a criminal investigation and he has publicly admitted that his tax returns are being reviewed. There’s not even a hint of any connection with his father.
Trump doesn’t want any special advice because he believes Hunter Biden did something wrong. He wants it because, while tweeting himself, he wants to see that Biden’s term is “plagued by scandal”. And considering that after Trump, the media will likely revert to their standard of explaining scandals based on the color of the suit or the type of sandwich seasoning, he might even get his wish.
Trump doesn’t stop with just one particular piece of advice. He wants someone else to investigate his allegations of election fraud – the same allegations that have been rejected in court 60 times. Trump knows that this lawyer wouldn’t do anything that would actually affect the 2020 election result. He’s planting bombs that he hopes will do enough damage to give him an advantage in 2024.
If Trump can’t get Rosen to abuse his temporary office for overtly political ends, Trump has a plan for that too: Just keep replacing AG until he finds someone who can give him whatever he wants. Trump is even looking into whether he can just skip the entire farce that this is something that came from the Justice Department and can just appoint a special lawyer himself.
The answer to this question is: Of course it can. It might not be legal, but considering that a majority of Republicans in the House of Representatives have just made an attempt to overturn the election, what has legal got to do with it?
