Just came into to post this, glad I don’t have to start the the thread. I love you, Aspenglow - but I disagree with your call here. > [@GOP House investigation of President Joe Biden follow along thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/gop-house-investigation-of-president-joe-biden-follow-along-thread/975111/130): > > Moderating: I realize you are responding to questions posed earlier in the thread, but I don’t want to have to say this again: Please drop the Hunter Biden laptop hijack in this thread. There are other threads within which to discuss this issue. I hate giving out warnings, but any more discussion on Hunter Biden or his laptop in this topic will result in them. This post was not about the Hunter Biden laptop. > [@GOP House investigation of President Joe Biden follow along thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/gop-house-investigation-of-president-joe-biden-follow-along-thread/975111/129): > > The question is whether there is evidence that Joe Biden acted in a corrupt manner. Did he do so by supporting his son’s activities to gain wealth using his last name and his influence with a powerful father? There’s very strong evidence that Hunter used his last name and relationship with his father to gain wealth. How far did Hunter’s influence impact Joe’s activities and decisions? The impact was non-zero - Joe met with people who paid Hunter for his connections. What’s the threshold fo… I do not mention the contents or origin of the laptop at all. In fact, the word _laptop_ does not appear anywhere in the post. When I referenced the _Hunter Biden investigation_ , I was referring to the upcoming House GOP investigation of the dealings between Hunter and his father, which is the direct subject of this thread, as per the link in the first post. The link in the OP isn’t about the GOP intent to investigate Joe Biden’s Covid response, or the withdrawal from Afghanistan, or the color of his suits ( although I’m sure those are coming ) It is specifically about the extent of Joe Biden’s involvement in his son’s business dealings. And I don’t see how we can discuss that without discussing his son’s business dealings. I’ll let everyone else fight it out about discussions regarding the provenance and authenticity of the laptop, I sort of think it’s relevant because it’s discussed so heavily in the preliminary House report, the link in the OP……OTOH it does get tiresome. But that’s not what my post was about. ETA: The point I was trying to make is that I think this new investigation is more about publicly shaming the President’s son than it is about finding something on Joe and I think that sentiment is on point for the thread. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-question-regarding-the-mod-note-in-the-biden-investigation-thread/975351)._
