Quick take: Are the Hunter Biden "whistleblowers" really risking their careers?

 If one were to scour the verbose blatherings contained in this pointless and obscure corner of the internet (hi, CWRU attorneys!) one would find hardly a mention of one, Mr. Hunter Biden.  Why not?  A cool name is as insufficient to bait my click as one's lineage.  How many fucks must fly for me to care about him?  That's an angels on a pinhead question, but as I count mine, the number of my counting is zero.  I am as interested in Hunter Biden as I am in Eric and Don Jr.'s role in the tax fraud committed by the Trump Organization, which is to say, not at all.  What would it take for me to be interested in Hunter Biden?  I dunno.  Learning that he ghost-wrote one of my favorite books, moonlights at Birdland playing some seriously badass fretless bass, or somehow stole nuclear secrets and kept them in an unused ballroom in a Florida golf resort.  I care as much about that fuckwit as any of the other 300,000,000+ fuckwits in this wit-fucked country.  BOR-RING.

Amid the boredom in the life of a boring fuckwit, we had some testimony by some IRS agents claiming to be whistleblowers, asserting that Hunter Biden was protected from on high.  Not paying any attention to the case, I will not comment on that claim.  Rather, I will note that the "whistleblowers" said that they were putting their own careers in jeopardy.  I know a little something about retaliation (hi!), but does anyone remember Alexander Vindeman?  Just as an example.  The claim of prospective retaliation is a falsifiable claim.  We knew, when Vindeman spoke out, what would happen to him.  Those who testified yesterday made predictions.  Will their predictions come true?

Watch and see.

Then update your beliefs accordingly.
