The investigation into Hunter Biden continues apace. Leaks have been few and far between because the federal government suddenly turns into Fort Knox regarding information when a Democrat is in the crosshairs, but we have gotten a few hints lately.

As RedState previously reported, a subpoena issued in 2020 was revealed that targeted a vast trove of Hunter Biden’s financial records. A 2019 subpoena also sought records dealing with Joe Biden’s brother, James Biden, and a myriad of businesses the Biden family was involved in.

Throughout the saga, the president himself has insisted he knew nothing of his son’s (or brother’s) schemes, though, that claim has never added up in the slightest. Joe Biden and Jill Biden actually shared an office with Hunter Biden and a Chinese businessman (i.e. a CCP agent because the government controls everything). Joe Biden has also had numerous meetings with people that Hunter Biden was dealing with. The idea that the president was completely in the dark is just farcical to assert at this point.

Now, The Daily Mail is reporting that Joe Biden has $5.2 million in “unexplained” income that just so happens to coincide with a period when he and his son’s finances were highly entangled.

Joe Biden agreed to pay son Hunter’s legal fees for his deal with a Chinese government-controlled company, emails reveal.

The revelation ties the president even closer to Hunter’s overseas business dealings – and makes his previous claims that he never discussed them with his son, even less plausible.

Joe was able to pay the bills after earning millions of dollars through his and his wife’s companies after he left office as vice president…

…But the president’s financial filings reveal that he declared almost $7million more income on his tax returns than he did on his government transparency reports, an analysis by DailyMail.com of the president’s financial records shows.

Some of that difference can be accounted for with salaries earned by First Lady Jill Biden and other sums not required on his reports – but still leaves $5.2million earned by Joe’s company and not listed on his transparency reports.

The discrepancy between his government transparency filings and his tax returns is significant. What is the president hiding about where he made such a large sum of money? We aren’t talking about a few thousand dollars. This is more cash than most people make in a lifetime, and Joe Biden is simply not sharing where it came from.

Given what we’ve learned to this point, it certainly seems in bounds to speculate that this was part of the “10 percent for the Big Guy,” a now-infamous reference from one of Hunter Biden’s emails. Recent emails, cited in The Daily Mail’s article, have also shown that Hunter Biden was paying some of Joe Biden’s bills in what appeared to be a really odd arrangement.

To be fair, the years that were examined here were after Joe Biden left the vice presidency, but that doesn’t get him off the hook if Hunter Biden ends up indicted for money laundering and corruption dealing with these money flows. And just to speculate a little further, was Hunter Biden giving his father money as part of a scam to hide all the excess income he was receiving from foreign entities?

There are so many unanswered questions here, and the entire situation stinks to high heaven. Of course, I’m highly skeptical AG Merrick Garland, a partisan hack if there ever was one, will allow the investigation into Hunter Biden to tarnish  Joe Biden himself. It does seem as if the president’s son is in trouble, though, and it’s going to be really difficult to keep that distance as more relevant facts come out.

Besides, nothing is stopping Joe Biden from providing the information to explain all this. So let’s see it…unless there isn’t a legal explanation.
