No. Guilty, truly powerful people actually invite an investigation into a rigged situation that they control.

Just throwing a wild conspiracy theory worthy of a movie plot (Patriot Games) or 3rd world country out there... not remotely suggesting this is true other than in the 'you can't rule it out' sort of way...

IF Biden had won and Dems picked up seats in the house and even Senate to the point where they had total control in the house and almost total in the Senate... Biden would be smart to call for an investigation into his son that had lots of pomp and little real investigation. We wouldn't pressure our allies for assistance... we sure wouldn't pressure enemies... 'Nowhere' leads would be run into the ground while GOOD leads would be brushed under the table based on jursdiction or probable cause or just going to a judge on the payroll who declines a warrant and gives everyone cover...

Joe would of course be completely vindicated... he was there, but had fallen asleep in his chair while Hunter negotiated a side deal with the Chinese... and Hunter either gets cleared on a split vote with a few vulnerable dems allowed to side with Reps, but not enough to swing the vote... OR he gets convicted of something relatively minor and sentenced to Club Fed where he can detox from the blow and improve his golf handicap. Meanwhile, he gets a $10mm book deal for his memoirs of the entire ordeal.

If they do that, any FUTURE claims by the right are cut off... Doting father Joe of his only surviving son STILL BRAVELY put his son at hazard because he is a patriot first, and you want to keep coming at him??

Again, complete artistic license to the subject matter... but the question was, what do guilty people do?
