Huge win for Trump? Hardly. It's been over two months since this 'release' and nothing has come of it. Trump however is in even deeper shit with his docs shenanigans and still headed for a 1/6 indictment and a GA indictment for attempting to defraud the U.S. and overturn the election.
However, a lot of information appears to still be missing in order to get to that point. The form under subpoena is, in FBI parlance, nothing more than a tip sheet containing allegations of corruption.
The documents released Wednesday provide no evidence that President Biden was ever directly involved in the alleged schemes—or even if the payments in question resulted in tangible impact on U.S. policy.
"None of the bank records reviewed by Committee staff allege, or even suggest, any potential misconduct by President Biden, nor do they show President Biden's involvement in Hunter Biden's business relationships," Representative Jamie Raskin, the Democratic ranking member of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, wrote in a rebuttal of the GOP's findings after the press conference.
"If Hunter Biden committed a crime, he should be charged," Mark Zaid, a top national security attorney in Washington, tweeted after the press conference. "But making money off family name has been around for centuries. Anyone remember that Trump family? Chinese trademarks? Kushner & Middle East? Rule of Law requires consistent application. I'm all for it."
