We've been assured by New York Times columnist Nick Kristoff that the whole Hunter Biden "scandal" is really the story of the love a father has for his son. The Bulwark agreed, saying "The Biden family has made its choices out of love." And White House adviser Ian Sams said that Joe Biden was on calls with Hunter and his business associates because he loves his son. He also never talked business during those calls, but only discussed the weather.

Hunter Biden's attorney Abbe Lowell made the ridiculous claim on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that the Biden administration's Justice Department is biased against the Biden family.

However, Lowell also made sure to note that Joe Biden has been a supportive father to his son through the worst parts on Hunter's life:
Abbe Lowell: "It’s because his last name is Biden, but it’s not like they’re going after, you know, some distant cousin. It’s because he is the son of the president who’s named Biden. The Republicans and anybody else that’s been investigating on the right-wing media, for example,…

Abbe Lowell: "It’s because his last name is Biden, but it’s not like they’re going after, you know, some distant cousin. It’s because he is the son of the president who’s named Biden. The Republicans and anybody else that’s been investigating on the right-wing media, for example, have tried and tried to say that President Biden has done something wrong. They can’t find a shred of evidence, because he hasn’t. And yet they want this to be an issue.
"And what they’ve successfully done because they go out on the airwaves, and people don’t understand the difference between truth and misinformation, is basically saying, ‘OK, I can’t get the president so I’ll besmirch his son in a way to suggest that there’s something going on between the two of them. That’s why it is because his last name is Biden, because of his proximity to his dad, who has been a supportive father to his son through all the best and worst parts of Hunter’s life. And that’s what makes this different.”
They can't find a shred of evidence that Biden was involved in his son's foreign business affairs … all of those huge checks were just loan repayments.
Even Hunter's lawyer has to stoop to the "loving father" angle to untangle the president from this mess.

So if the Justice Department is so biased against the Bidens, why isn't Hunter serving time right now for felony gun possession?
