Let's say for argument’s sake that Hunter Biden was really part of some corruption. That wouldn’t justify Floridaman withholding aid or having his minions insist on a public announcement aimed not at reducing corruption but at providing ammunition against Floridaman’s likely opponent. Everything about Rudy's theatrics and the need for a public announcement shows this. So does Floridaman’s and his Trumplicans inability to point to any investigations of corruption he has asked for that do not involve Biden.
So the impeachment investigation is about what Floridaman was asking for and why, and that doesn't change even if you think that Hunter Biden was guilty of something. There is no mystery about Joe Biden's actions to get the prosecutor in Ukraine fired, that was an international goal targeted at reducing corruption, and there's no indication (indeed, there is evidence to the contrary) that it was to inhibit investigation into Hunter. So this is a side show.
