Why didn't AG Barr and the DOJ investigate the Bidens before Biden announced...?

,...that he was going to run for President?

If they were so concerned about corruption and the Biden's participation, what prevented Bill Barr from investigating?

It shows that Donald Trump and his Justice Dept were never really concerned about corruption in Ukraine, unless it was their own.

And I suspect that the answer is that Putin wanted an excuse to withhold aid from Ukraine, so an investigation by Barr, although it would have helped Trump, wouldn’t have served Putin’s purposes.

The Gangsters Of Putin define "corruption" differently than the sane world.

When Biden was VP, Before they became Trump sycophants and revealed themselves to be Russian tools, they were in favor of getting rid of corruption in Ukraine and signed on to a bipartisan letter indicating that. They know this is ridiculous. But anything to please the orange asshole and hold on to their base. If they really thought there was corruption going on with Hunter Biden, why did it take them all these years to want to investigate? Really? They also have access to intelligence, but they want us to believe that we should trust Fucking Giuliani and lying ass Trump?
