Is that, like, even a real number?

I know we have some hardcore stats people here at LGM, so here are some hardcore stats for you:
Have fun!
After pausing in the months before the election, federal authorities are now actively investigating the business dealings of Hunter Biden, a person with knowledge of the probe said. His father, President-elect Joe Biden, is not implicated.
Now that the election is over, the investigation is entering a new phase. Federal prosecutors in Delaware, working with the IRS Criminal Investigation agency and the FBI, are taking overt steps such as issuing subpoenas and seeking interviews, the person with knowledge said.Activity in the investigation had been largely dormant in recent months due to Justice Department guidelines prohibiting overt actions that could affect an election, the person said.
I estimate that the odds that a tax investigation into Hunter Biden’s business dealings was opened randomly are . . . let’s see here, four times six minus two, plus carry the eight . . . one in a quadrillion to the fourth power.
. . . and now 17 states have joined this legal, mathematical, and political monstrosity:
Seventeen states whose elections were won by President Donald Trump told the Supreme Court on Wednesday that they support Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s bid to file a lawsuit that could effectively reverse President-elect Joe Biden‘s projected Electoral College victory.
The filing backing Paxton by those states came a day after he asked the Supreme Court for permission to sue Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, all of which Biden won, over their voting processes.
Later Wednesday, Trump filed a motion to intervene in the case “in his personal capacity” as a presidential candidate. The Supreme Court has yet to rule on Paxton’s request.
The states supporting the suit, all of which have Republican attorneys general, are Missouri, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia.
An “interesting” question in the Chinese curse sense of living in interesting times is how many of these high-ranking Republican elected officials would be joining in if they thought this actually had a chance of succeeding. The optimistic take is they know this is all kayfabe so this is all just vice signaling. The pessimistic one is that this country is effectively over.
