As noted in the previous post, Equifax was one of Oldaker, Biden & Belair's top clients for the 2008 cycle. Meanwhile Joe Biden was supporting legislation promoted by the credit card industry, as even the New York Times and CBS could not fail to notice at the time:

MBNA Paid Biden's Son As Biden Backed Bill (08/25/2008)

A son of Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden was paid an undisclosed amount of money as a consultant by MBNA, the largest employer in Delaware, during the years the senator supported legislation that was promoted by the credit card industry and opposed by consumer groups.

Barack Obama's presidential campaign said Biden helped forge a bipartisan compromise on the measure, which is now law and makes it harder for consumers to obtain bankruptcy protection in the courts.

MBNA's consulting payments to Hunter Biden, first reported by The New York Times, followed his departure in 2001 from the company, where he had been an executive.
