6 years, god knows how much money spent, and the person they leaned on for all of this has been indicted for lying about it.

They aired a recording of a concerned father leaving a voicemail for his son, have proven that Hunter Biden suffers from addiction and has all but completely lost control of his life, and they made sure to show pictures of his penis around Congress because that’s pretty essential to proving his father is corrupt apparently.
