Carlson lived in the same neighborhood as Hunter and Hunter's first wife. Carlson said he knew Hunter before Hunter's current lifestyle became news and that Hunter and his wife, especially, were OK people at that time. First wife still is, apparently.
So WTF is going on? I don't think, with Carlson being involved, the end game is to take down Hunter, and, thereby, Bidan.
Goal, rathe, is MCarthy and Luntz will just be used up collateral damage as the catalyst, IMO. I agree with the anon above who thought this smear campaign was a result of McCarthy saying he wants Cheney gone.
Cheney, Bush, Obama, Bidan, Pelosi and the gang. It's a big club, we ain't in it, but Carlson is, looks like.
