MSNBC host Joe Scarborough led a Morning Joe panel discussion on Tuesday
during which he and several others attempted to spin Hunter Bidens
indictment as good news for his father, President Joe Biden.
Scarborough set the scene, saying that the Hunter Biden indictment was just
the last entry in a long laundry list of conspiracy theories that had been
stirred up by Republicans specifically Trump Republicans, who he said
wanted to damage the president by connecting him to anything that stuck to
his son.

Obviously Republicans, Trump Republicans have been trying to stir up
conspiracy theories left and right, one after another have been disproven,
one after another we found out The Wall Street Journal editorial page
themselves said, No fire here, smoke all over the place, no fire,'
Scarborough began.
Not only have they proven nothing, they have senior members of the Senate
saying we dont care whether hes guilty or not, we dont care whether he did
this stuff or not, its all been a show, he continued. Well, that show has
just been exposed by Trumps own by Trumps own prosecutor, a Trump-
appointed prosecutor in Delaware.
Scarborough referenced the deal reportedly struck by the presidents
embattled son a deal in which Hunter Biden will plead guilty to misdemeanor
tax crimes and avoid jail time and turned the question over to Jonathan
Lemire.
Yes, Hunter Biden, pleading guilty, Lemire repeated, going on to suggest
that Republicans had simply been throwing accusations at the younger Biden in
the hopes that something would eventually stick. Certainly Republicans have,
for literally years now, accused Hunter Biden of basically everything under
the sun, including that hes the mastermind behind the Biden crime family and
corruption and all that, charges which we dont need to get into now because
they were never brought.
Lemire concluded that was good news the fact that he had not been charged
with anything that could be directly tied to his father but Lemire agreed
that the investigations into Hunter Biden on other matters were still likely
to continue: Republicans, he said, will continue hammering away no matter
what the facts actually hold.
