Why didn't Trump prosecute Hunter Biden?

He had almost three years to investigate and prosecute. He had the FBI and DOJ. But he said nothing and did nothing until Joe Biden announced his intent to run for the Presidency.

Donald Trump did not seem interested in Hunter Biden or corruption until he needed an excuse for his extortion and bribery of a foreign leader.

If he has evidence, what is to prevent him from prosecuting Hunter Biden at this time? The answer is: there is no evidence of any criminal acts by Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden did not ask the new leader of Ukraine for a "favor". Hunter Biden did not withhold $391 million dollars from Ukraine's military.

If they have the goods on Hunter Biden, let them press charges. They cannot add it to the impeachment charges of Donald Trump and pretend that there is some sort of false equivalence.

Hunter Biden is irrelevant to this impeachment proceeding.

finding stories about various attempts at dropping Malware into systems. Nothing surprises me when it comes to our Nations attempt to prevent anything coming down that Russian road to our White House.

Amazing how the Fourth Estate has completely become the Parrot of the Orange Anus. They just keep the Repeater going.

Happened a couple days before Biden announced his candidacy.
It's obvious why it wasn't mentioned in the first phone call, but I haven't seen anyone make that connection.
