Hunter Biden's lawyers, in newly aggressive strategy, target his critics

Hunter Biden’s lawyers, in a newly aggressive strategy, sent a series of blistering letters Wednesday to state and federal prosecutors urging criminal investigations into those who accessed and disseminated his personal data — and sent a separate letter threatening Fox News host Tucker Carlson with a defamation lawsuit.

The string of letters, which included criminal referrals and cease-and-desist missives aimed at critics and detractors, marked the start of a new and far more hard-hitting phase for the president’s son just as House Republicans prepare their own investigations into him.

Abbe Lowell, a recently hired lawyer whom Biden enlisted about a month ago, sent lengthy letters to the Justice Department and Delaware’s attorney general requesting investigations into several key players who were involved in disseminating data from a laptop that Biden is said to have dropped off at a repair shop in Wilmington, Del.

Bryan M. Sullivan, another lawyer now representing Biden, sent a separate communication to Carlson and Fox News demanding that they correct falsehoods from his recent show or risk a possible defamation lawsuit.

And in another letter, Lowell wrote to the Internal Revenue Service challenging the nonprofit status of Marco Polo, a group that is run by conservative activist Garrett M. Ziegler. Lowell provided 36 pages as evidence that the group is engaging in political activity in violation of its nonprofit status.

Perhaps this is what sent Hunter over the "edge"?

is a strange thing.

The Hunter's investigation will target the corrupt allies of shithole and may open up some serious evidence that includes GQP politicians and shithole himself.

The recent arrest of the F.B.I. agent. And the wrong doings of Barr, Durham, NYT, etc.

The can of worms is slowly opening.

If there was any there there with the laptop surely Barr would have run with it. That didn't happen so I think Hunter's attorneys telling them to put up or shut up or face more defamation lawsuits is the way to go.
