Famed attorney Alan Dershowitz says that there isn’t at this point enough evidence from the Hunter Biden email revelations regarding his foreign business dealing to incriminate the sitting president, Joe Biden.
“You’d have to prove complicity by quote, ‘the big man,'” Dershowitz said on Newmax. “It’s not enough for ‘the big man’ to be mentioned in an email. There have to be emails from the person who was the target or the subject of the investigation. Remember, hearsay is inadmissible. So I think there’s a long, long road to hoe before you get anywhere close to the president of the United States,” he added.
The New York Times reported last week that federal investigators are combing through the contents of Hunter Biden’s laptop left in a Delaware repair shop and that the contents “were authenticated by people familiar with them and with the investigation.” Emails, photos, and other material on the computer give insight into the younger Biden’s tax affairs and foreign business dealings.
“Politically, obviously, people do hold presidents responsible for their relatives,” Dershowitz said. “We saw that with Jimmy Carter. We saw that with Bill Clinton. We saw that with many people in the past.”
“I don’t like weaponizing the criminal justice system for political purposes,” he continued. “So I think we should demand that the investigation continue, and that let’s see where the evidence points without any presumptions or without any rushing to judgment.”

Ridiculous. There’s plenty enough there, proving that Hunter was receiving money, with Joe’s knowledge, when the only possible thing Hunter could possibly be selling was Joe’s power. The key is that nobody would ever bribe Hunter Biden. Therefore the person being bribed must have been Joe. Hunter was merely the bagman.
Just as when Bill Clinton was governor of Arkansas, and people made mysterious and inexplicable gifts to his wife, the money was obviously not for her but for him. She was merely laundering his bribes, like any good wife who does her husband’s laundry.
They went after trump with much less, let them go after them too.
As a Democrat who voted for Biden, I want to make it clear that the Hunter Biden situation stinks, but Dershowitz is right on the law. As I have said before, the Trump administration had 4 years to prosecute Hunter but failed to do so. It is my guess that the Trump administration did not want to establish any precedents for investigating presidential children.
