Delaware US Attorney David Weiss exploded that fallacy when he slipped out a late Friday letter to the House Judiciary Committee, hoping to bury the bad news on the eve of the holiday weekend. 

Added to the limp, over-long missive to Congress a few hours earlier from Hunter Biden's fabled lawyer Abbe Lowell, whose big complaint was about a breach of the "spirit of the law," it was not a good day for the Biden protection unit. 

With Hunter Biden's former "best friend in business" Devon Archer slated to testify this month before he goes to jail with nothing much left to lose, and other as-yet-unidentified whistleblowers emerging with more explosive evidence in coming weeks, a Houdini act by the Biden gang seems unlikely, even with the power of the White House, a complicit media and the best lawyers money can buy.
