UPDATED: Subject: Hunter Biden And Associates
That, or something like it, might be how the subject line of the FBI's opening EC would have read:
EXCLUSIVE: A @TheJusticeDept official confirms that in 2019, the @FBI opened up a criminal investigation into "Hunter Biden and his associates," focused on allegations of money-laundering, and that it remains open and active today. More very soon on your @WeAreSinclair stations.
Investigations of this sort are like pulling on a loose thread to see what it connects to. The interesting question is: Who are those "associates"? Jim Biden? I'd bet on that. "The Big Guy?" Why not? Quite possibly Tony Bobulinski, although that may now have changed.
But then there's that email that Fox News obtained, that is said to be unrelated to Hunter's laptop. You can read all about it here: Email Reveals Joe Biden Would Get Cut Of China Deal . The idea behind the email--which is titled 'Phase one domestic contacts/projects' --is that Biden Inc. would steer lucrative infrastructure projects to the Chinese side, represented by CEFC. Sounds corrupt to me. Or potentially corrupt.
Follow the link for the full email, but here's the headers and the contacts:
From: Jim Biden <jbiden@lionhallgp.com>

Obviously, there's no way for us to know, just from this email, how deeply involved and how witting these contacts were regarding this whole business. I cite it just to give some idea of the scope the investigation might take on. And why it would still be ongoing, rather than having terminated, say, in the first week of January.
Bill Barr might be a very busy man in a second Trump term. As if he weren't busy enough already.
UPDATE: Note that Bobulinski says he was interviewed as a material witness and that he was questioned about Biden Inc. activities in multiple countries around the world--not just Ukraine and China. A five hour interview, a "very cooperative and deep dive" into all the facts during the relevant time period, and Bobulinski will be brought back for additional debriefing.
EXCLUSIVE: Tony Bobulinski tells @WeAreSinclair he was questioned by six @FBI agents, with counsel present, for five hours on October 23, listing him as a "material witness" in an ongoing investigation focused on Hunter Biden and his associates. His cell phones were examined. pic.twitter.com/5lPzRTREJN
