Soooo....the DOJ is going after Elon Musk for not hiring "refugees" aka illegal immigrants...but won't go after Hunter Biden...
The US Department of Justice is suing Elon Musk’s SpaceX over allegations that it discriminated against asylees and refugees in hiring. In a lawsuit filed on Wednesday, the DOJ claims that, from at least September 2018 to May 2022, SpaceX discouraged refugees and asylees from applying to the company “by wrongly stating that SpaceX can only hire U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents.”Shut the fuck up Donny!

Team Obama loved Victor Shokin, so why did Joe Biden get him fired?
Officials in the Obama administration were reportedly pleased with Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin before then-Vice President Joe Biden got him fired in 2016.
Hmmmm. Victor Shokin — the top Ukraine prosecutor whom then-Veep Joe Biden got fired in March 2016 for alleged malfeasance — sure was popular with the rest of the Obama administration.
That love shines through in newly unearthed documents:
“We have been impressed with the ambitious reform and anti-corruption agenda of your government,” gushed the State Department’s Ukraine point person Victoria Nuland to Shokin in summer 2015.
“Ukraine has made sufficient progress on its reform agenda to justify a third guarantee” of aid money, noted another federal functionary that October.
So why did Biden single him out for disposal?
One thing we know: It sure did help his son Hunter.
Remember: Shokin was fired right as he was breathing down the neck of Ukrainian energy company Burisma.
And Burisma, you’ll recall, had made ne’er-do-well Hunter a board member with a sky-high salary despite his literal zero experience either in global business (other than influence-peddling) or energy exploration and exploitation.
Do we have to draw a picture here? Biden claimed that he told officials in 2015 that he would withhold funds from Ukraine if Shokin wasn’t removed from office. REUTERS/Evelyn Hockstein/File Photo
Look: As late as January 2016, the CIA was dumping on claims that Shokin was crooked.
When rumors started to buzz in-country that further aid money was tied to Shokin’s ouster, the agency responded with a literal “Yikes.”
So said agency Ukraine expert Eric Ciaramella, later adding (of a DC meeting with senior leaders from Shokin’s office): “We were super impressed with the group, and we had a two-hour discussion of their priorities and the obstacles they face.”
“Super impressed” does not sound anywhere close to “this guy is crooked and must go.”
Biden’s turned the tale of his move against Shokin into one of his fake tough-guy anecdotes, bragging to the Council on Foreign Relations in 2018 that on his December 2015 trip to Kyiv, “I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.’ Well, son of a b—. He got fired.”
But it sure doesn’t soundlike anyone else in the White House thought Shokin was corrupt.
You know who did consider Shokin bad news, though?
Hunter’s former partner, Devon Archer.
Archer told former Fox host Tucker Carlson on his new show that Shokin “was a threat.”
Why? Because “he ended up seizing assets” from Burisma’s owner Mykola Zlochevsky, who reportedly told a credible FBI informant that he had paid $10 million in bribes to Hunter and Joe.

And Archer has testified before Congress that Zlochevsky and fellow Burisma big Vadym Pozharsky asked Hunter in December 2015 to make a call to DC to help relieve the “pressure” they were feeling from Shokin.
In other words: Biden’s biggest Ukraine smokescreen has been utterly blown apart.
The president has risibly said of the affair: “I did nothing wrong. I carried out the policy of the United States government in rooting out corruption in Ukraine.”
Shut the fuck up Donny!
