Grassley puts into his Senate website a video of a floor speech, in effect, what did FBI and DOJ do and when did they do it.

Link. For Grassley comments of record.

"Big guy" is an interesting term. Big guy, big money, yes/no, did the FBI care to know - or, indeed, affirmatively hide itself from finding out? NewYorkPost presents an interesting juxtaposition of the rule of law being elastic. Felony vs. misdemeanor; amount at issue. 

First lady Dr. Jill Biden’s ex-husband slammed the so-called “Biden crime family” in a new interview — and claimed the powerful brood is targeting former President Donald Trump the same way they bullied him during his divorce almost 50 years ago.

“Frankie Biden of the Biden crime family comes up to me and he goes, ‘Give her the house or you’re going to have serious problems,’” Bill Stevenson told Newsmax’s Greg Kelly Wednesday night of the moment President Biden’s brother Frank allegedly approached him when he and Jill divorced in the mid-1970s.

“I looked at Frankie and I said, ‘Are you threatening me?’ and needless to say, about two months later, my brother and I were indicted for that tax charge for $8,200.”

Stevenson — who married the future first lady in 1970, when she was still a college student — claims that Joe Biden, who was then a young senator in Delaware, sicced the charges on him.

[...]

Kelly then noted that Stevenson and his brother were reportedly charged with two felonies for less than $10,000 in unpaid taxes, while his ex-wife’s stepson, Hunter Biden, has so far only been slapped with two misdemeanors for a staggering $2.2 million unpaid tax bill.

The Frankie said such and such is loose. The variation in charges is hard evidence.

Evidence of what? You decide. And then, a botched deal over the two misdemeanor charges. The law moves in mysterious ways.
