CNN anchor John King acknowledged that "many of the business dealings of Joe Biden's son Hunter appear shady. His apparent lack of expertise in the so-called businesses in which he is engaged raises a 'red flag.' The amounts that he has been paid seem large considering how little he knows about these businesses. I've even heard him admit that he probably wouldn't have gotten these deals if his father wasn't the vice-president. Hunter's a swamp creature. Like many people, he is cashing in on his family name to make money around the world."
For his part, Joe Biden claims that "all the accusations against my son have been totally discredited." Well, maybe not totally discredited. Joe himself is on video boasting about how he leveraged a US aid package to coerce the government of Ukraine to fire a prosecutor who was investigating his son's role in the allegedly corrupt Burisma energy company. And just a few weeks ago the Senate Homeland Security and Finance committees released an 87-page report on Hunter Biden's work with Burisma. The report charged that "officials within the Obama administration ignored the glaring warning signs when the vice president's son joined the board of a company owned by a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch."
King went on to point out that "to be honest, everyone knows that Washington is a 'swamp.' Influence pedaling and sweet-heart deals for those with power or connections are common. As the son of a man who has spent 47 years in the federal government it would be surprising for Hunter to have not tried to monetize his father's position like Joe's brother James did. A majority of voters agree that Joe Biden seems to have used his decades-long political career to enrich his family and close friends. The key question voters need to ask themselves is whether this normal exploitation of political power is a 'deal breaker' when it comes to electing the next president. Maybe it's a tolerable price to pay to get the incomparable talents of a man like Joe Biden into the White House. In a way, seeing things get back to normal by ousting Trump could be very comforting for so many of us."

Coerce (probably threaten the life) of foreign prosecutors...accomplish nothing in 47 years..quite a resume.
And yet he’ll still get at least in the low 40s as a percentage of the vote.
Hunter’s antics are laughable.
It would be like me being accepted to the board of directors of a drug development company.
Not drug taking company, drug development :) JK!!
Good point. Shokin reported two attempts on his life.
Its all easier to understand once you understand Hunter as Biden’s bagman.
Wow!! I wasn’t sure if i was making that up or not :)
It just seemed a logical conclusion
