House Republicans are itching to investigate Hunter Biden. The hearings referenced in your linked article have already begun and if future hearings follow suit, the republicans will regret holding these dog and pony shows. (Well, they will be play ad nauseum on Fox News and Newsmax and similar outlets... so there's that benefit.)
The former Twitter executives James Baker, Vijaya Gadde, Yoel Roth and Anika Collier Navaroli, who testified last week said...
1. The Biden White House never asked Twitter to censor tweets but the Trump White House did so. The Trump White House reached out to Twitter about deleting a tweet by Chrissy Teigen's that president Trump found offensive.
'They wanted it to come down because it was a derogatory statement directed at the president,' Navaroli said.
2. Twitter changed internal rules to avoid limiting Trump's tweets.
The former president violated Twitter rules of conduct so often that Twitter changed it rules to allow him to keep tweeting.
3. The FBI did not direct Twitter to block the New York Post article on the Hunter Biden laptop. 'I am aware of no unlawful collusion with, or direction from, any government agency or political campaign on how Twitter should have handled the Hunter Biden laptop situation,' testified James Baker, Twitter's former deputy general counsel.
As for what legal jeopardy Hunter Biden might face, one is whether or not he declared income related to his various business ventures (tax evasion). The second is whether or not he purchased a handgun, filling out a federal form in which he allegedly answered 'no' to the question whether he was 'an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance?'
