If he is in trouble for this, it's only because they think he can't win in 2024, even against DJT if he's in jail, or another Republican candidate. Otherwise, it wouldn't be any issue at all, judging by recent revelations of all kinds that don't seem to matter to alphabet networks, NYT, CNN, and MSNBC. If they don't report it, it didn't happen. Now even FOX is severely compromised.

In bigger trouble than inciting insurrection and stealing top security files and storing them in your bathroom?

It's all perspective and Hunter Biden is a speeding ticket compared to our former President.

The way this is going I have to wonder if there isn’t some AI involved there. It could easily be a fake.

I do agree that the language in the message sounds kind of made up, but I'm sure there are ways to authenticate it.

...recent revelations of all kinds that don't seem to matter to alphabet networks, NYT, CNN, and MSNBC. If they don't report it, it didn't happen...

CBS is now reporting on this. They even quote the above alleged WhatsApp message.

Two of Hunter Biden's former business partners, including Tony Bobulinski, who received the message, told CBS News that a line in the email, "10 held by H for the big guy?" is shorthand for 10% held by Hunter Biden for his father. According to the now-public transcripts of the interview with the committee, Shapley told congressional investigators that interest in references to "dad" and "the big guy" was blocked by a senior prosecutor working for Weiss. When the email became public in 2020, the author, James Gilliar, told the Wall Street Journal that Joe Biden was not involved. Gilliar did not respond to CBS News' questions.
...
In his congressional interview, Shapley also alleged that there was a recovered WhatsAPP message from Hunter Biden dated July 30, 2017 that was addressed to a Chinese businessman with whom he was involved at the time about an outstanding payment.

"I am sitting here with my father..we would like to understand why the commitment made has not been fulfilled," Hunter Biden allegedly wrote, according to the transcript. He added, "I would like to resolve this now before it gets out of hand" and "now means tonight."

2017? They were both private citizens…

There are supposedly questionable bank transactions that date back to 2015.

That aside, at a minimum, IF the WhatsApp message is authentic, and if Hunter wasn't lying in the content of that message, then Joe Biden has repeatedly lied about not being connected in any way to his son's business dealings - something that there would be no reason to lie about if it was just run-of-the-mill private citizen business dealings.

Biden is compromised, he's not looking out for our country's best interest.

As is Trump

Can somebody explain to me why what-about-ism is a one-way street? As in, it is not a valid argument for Republicans to cite Biden or Hillary, but any time someone doesn't want to directly defend a Democrat, it is perfectly ok to just shout BUT WHAT ABOUT TRUMP? TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP!

I think zz's response to audiophile was virtually mandatory. To support a treasonous Trump while claiming Biden doesn't have the country's best interests at heart is laughable.

Trump and Biden are both awful. Neither belong near the WH.

Even CNN is running the story. That WhatsApp message was read on-air, and the host said something along the lines of, the reason that the year 2017 is important is because at that time, Hunter was "heavily addicted to crack."
