Hunter Biden and his legal team sure do seem to run hot and cold: File pleadings — then quickly withdraw them; file lawsuits — then dismiss them. Let's review what we've seen from Hunter's legal team in just the past few weeks:
Fancy That: Hunter Biden Dismisses Laptop Lawsuit Against Rudy Giuliani
Govt. Responds to Hunter Biden's 'Laughable Tale' in Support of His Motion for New Trial...and Ouch!
Chastened: Biden Legal Team Withdraws Motion for New Trial in Light of Spanking From Special Counsel
Can't Make This Stuff Up: Hunter Biden Is Suing Fox Over 'Revenge Porn'
Eyebrows were raised at the time the suit was filed, given the nature of the allegations and the nature of Hunter Biden's very public escapades. As I noted:
Here's where an observant reader might pause and wonder at what it would take to "tarnish" the reputation of a known crack addict who had an affair with his brother's widow (getting her hooked on crack in the process), then her sister, then a stripper with whom he fathered a child he refused to acknowledge until a court made him, and attempted to write off personal expenses like a sex club membership as business expenses?
Well, I hope you're properly harnessed in so as to avoid whiplash because just three short weeks after filing that suit against Fox, Biden's legal team has now voluntarily dismissed it.
Now, one thing to note is that the case was dismissed "without prejudice," meaning that it could be refiled. There's no indication at this point as to the reason for the dismissal, but given the topsy-turvy nature of things in Biden World over the past few weeks, one can only imagine what sorts of conversations are being had regarding legal maneuvers and implications for the (for now) First Son.
