They were paid a billion dollars to find nothing.

May 2016 is still the Obama administration, and with Hillary up by double digits in the polls, they had no reason to expect a change.

Biden Jr. was off limits, period!

You're misinformed. Fox explains how he's made all this money:

You are under-informed. See Peter Schweizer's book Secret Empires where he covers various DC clans including the Bidens, McConnells, Clintons, and Trumps.
You weren't talking about Joe Biden's wealth?

No Joe and Hunter together. There are plenty of ways for trusted family members to pass assets back and forth. When the lion pride kills a wildebeest, the meat gets shared.

So-how can an investigation possibly be completed in the timeframe involved for the corruption case against Biden, his son, and the Umumumbama administration? Using the power of the US government to influence another country to drop an investigation against a (allegedly) corrupt business-simply because his son is an employee-is a serious charge. Don't we need special investigators and at least two years to dig up dirt on all involved? We must, that is the standard these days.

Oh, and of course the investigative team must be heavily staffed with outspoken critics of the person being investigated, just to ensure it's thorough.

Joe Biden released his tax returns.

You said he didn't have a lucrative book deal.

Joe Biden had a lucrative book deal.

Per Fox Business--
"Biden's three newly available tax returns show his family income jumped from $400,000 in 2016 to $11 million in 2017 as a result of his book deal."

That's some mighty bluster, Mr. T.

Oh come on-there has been no "investigation". An investigation takes a team of lawyers (populated with individuals highly biased against the person they are investigating). At least 2 years of work. Dozens of leaks to the press. A media that fabricates stories based on leaks and rumors. Oh and a few million dollars. Time to appoint the team to look into this thoroughly, right now.

Oh, I forgot, the FBI needs to break into Biden's lawyers house and take all documentation in his possession to give them more directions to investigate. And of course dream up something to charge said lawyer with to make him talk.

No. As I understand it, the investigation of Hunter Biden was already done, and the prosecutor needed to be removed because of a pattern of corruption. Since we are sending funds to Ukraine, we want to make sure that they go to the right place. That kind of quid pro quo is done all the time in international relations. Things like "you will get military aide if you buy our corn," or "we will give you a good deal on X if you clean up the gangs in your country," or a lot of other deals that have been made over the years. Trump's quid pro quo was different because he was not negotiating deals for the good of the country; he was negotiating an exchange of public funds for his own personal gain. That is materially different, and an impeachable offense. Then there is the cover-up....
