I suspected there would be a lot of overlap with Part 2 of “Who is Hunter Biden.” It was exactly as I thought. The first half of this series is just a rehash of what the filmmakers included in “Who is Hunter Biden? Part 1.” There was so much repeated information I can reduce this entire five part series down to one article.
In “Who is Hunter Biden? Part 2,” the filmmakers included more details about the salacious personal life of Hunter Biden. In this series they added excerpts from the audio version of Hunter Biden’s ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle’s memoir, “If We Break.”
I can see the entertainment value of digging up more dirt about this man’s life but there’s little to nothing here that is newsworthy.
It’s a twisted soap opera of a self-destructive addict who is deep in denial. This might be entertaining for some folks but anyone who has dealt with a loved one in the throes of addiction would probably find this content deeply tragic.
Addicts in denial are not exactly trustworthy or consistent. They will lie, cheat and steal to abuse drugs or alcohol. Most of Hunter Biden’s correspondence that was allegedly found on the laptop must be taken with a grain of salt. He is the ultimate untrustworthy narrator.
Addicts can take on a mercurial Jekyll & Hyde persona. They might declaring their never-ending love in the morning but curse your name by the time the sun goes down.
An untreated addict tends to see themselves as the center of the universe and will lash out at those closest to them. As friends and loved ones try to get a person suffering from addiction into treatment the addict often becomes desperate and spirals out of control even faster.
All of this is on display in this craven Fox Nation series.
The producers spent a lot of time exploiting Hunter Biden and his family while providing very little evidence of criminal wrongdoing or a conspiracy that involves that involves his father.

Experts
Byron York – Washington Examiner - York is a highly partisan journalist who has worked for a number of conservative publications. He’s best known for his book about George W. Bush, The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy: The Untold Story of How Democratic Operatives, Eccentric Billionaires, Liberal Activists, and Assorted Celebrities Tried to Bring Down a President—and Why They'll Try Even Harder Next Time.
Miranda Devine - NY Post - She has based much of her career on every scandal involving Hunter Biden. She does not have the most ethical past as she paid out a large settlement in a defamation case. Her full bio can be found here.
Jon Levine - NY Post - I couldn’t find much about this journalist except that he works for the NY Post, which is part of the same company that owns Fox News. He was also sanctioned at one point by Twitter after writing a series of tweets in connection to an article he wrote about the wealthy background of Carlos Maza, a YouTube personality who has worked for a number of media companies. Twitter claimed it was a mistake and restored his account.
Josh Boswell - Dailymail - A British journalist based in Los Angeles. He’s a frequent guest on Fox News.
As in the past series no co-workers, friends, neighbors, or relatives of Hunter Biden appear or supply any information directly to the filmmakers.
I openly laughed during the opening monologue narrated by Judge Jeanine Pirro.
“A few months ago, Fox Nation released my blockbuster investigative series, Who is Hunter Biden? If you haven't watched it, you should. It was the first documentary to dive deep into Hunter's notorious laptop from Hell. Which other news organizations still dismissed as a Russian hoax? Nobody now seriously thinks the laptop is fake, and even more people are asking who is Hunter Biden?” said Pirro.
This is the first time in this poorly produced slap book of still images, VoiceOver actors and partisan talking heads that Pirro took credit for creating the series. It’s humorous since she’s not known for investigative journalism.
She’ll bellow her opinions and throw a pen or two on the set of “The Five” but her real expertise is as a lawyer and a retired judge.
The only new character introduced in this episode is Hunter’s half-sister Ashley Biden.
It appears the filmmakers included Ashley just to further trash the Biden family. Ashley has also struggled with addiction but she didn’t work with her brother and there’s no evidence that she had anything to do with his business ventures.
Everything in this episode was already discussed in the first series with more detail about Hunter’s marriage and extramarital affairs.
The only alleged crime brought up involves a gun. In order to legally buy the firearm he lied about his drug use on a form.
“She stole my gun out of my truck lockbox and threw it in a garbage can full to the top at Jansen's. Then told me it was my problem to deal with. Then when the police, the FBI, the Secret Service came on the scene, she said she took it from me because she was scared. I would harm myself due to my drug and alcohol problem and our volatile relationship,” said Hunter Biden in an email.
The woman he’s referring to is Hallie Biden, the widow of his brother Beau whom Hunter began an affair with soon after his brother’s death.
The filmmakers also finally reveal that Hunter Biden’s first name is actually Robert. It’s never mentioned by anyone in the series. I noticed it on the form used to purchase the gun signed by Hunter Biden.
You’d think this detail about Robert Hunter Biden’s name might be important but the filmmakers never brought it up.
